376: Today I'm exposing seven coconut water brands hiding added sugars, chemical preservatives, and hormone disrupting contaminants behind labels that say pure and natural. A peer-reviewed study found that nearly four in 10 commercial coconut waters contain undeclared added sugar that never appears on the label. And the biggest brand on this list just triggered securities fraud investigations from five different law firms. And stick around to the end because I'm also sharing the five brands that actually deliver what's inside a real coconut. Topics Discussed: → Which coconut water brands have the most added sugar? → Is Vita Coco actually good for you? → What does "natural flavors" mean on a coconut water label? → What is the healthiest coconut water to buy? → Does coconut water have BPA?

   Watching a couple great Republican candidates have success in the primaries in California is fun and it does signal something significant.  But don't buy into the hype that Spencer Pratt or Steve Hilton will win their general elections.  California is locked down by the dems in every way imaginable.    60 Minutes lead anchor Scott Pelley threw a giant hissy fit at the office Monday in front of the whole staff trashing his new boss.  So the new boss wasn't the same as the old boss and fired Pelley.  This is so good.    Three Argentinian soccer fans on bicycles traveled over 10,000 miles the past 10 months to get to Kansas City.  What we saw upon their arrival Tuesday was just great.    NBA superstar Steph Curry is taking over $1 billion from a Chinese shoe and sportswear company that has long been known for inhumane conditions for workers... and so far there has been zero backlash because of Curry's liberal privilege.    The Black Crowes get boo'd and have fans walk out of their concert in Florida after a USA chant breaks out.  Royals closer Lucas Erceg is not the man for the job.  Time for Daniel Lynch in that role.  The Women's College World Series is set and Texas Tech is supposedly the team to hate.  The NBA and NHL finals are underway, this will be a fun few days.    And our Final Final is an incredibly ambitious plan for 50,000 people to permanantly live on a ship.  You have to hear this.

In this roundtable episode, I sit down with Cheryl Burton-Murphy and Libby Supan for the kind of conversation that feels like three women pulling up chairs, telling the truth, and refusing to pretend healing is simple. We talk about eating disorder recovery, intuitive eating, body autonomy, GLP-1s, intentional weight loss, and the messy gray area that so many people are afraid to touch. Cheryl shares what it feels like to live eight years on the other side of a 40-year eating disorder, Libby brings her perspective as a therapist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and someone who has done her own recovery work, and I share more of my own evolution from “absolutely not” to “let me research the actual nuance here.” We dig into childhood diet culture wounds, body shame, medical bias, food rules, recovery, and the weird culty corners that can exist on both sides of the health conversation. This episode is funny, honest, spicy, tender, and very “think for your damn self,” because healing is not about trading one rigid rulebook for another. It is about learning to trust yourself again. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bios: Cheryl: Cheryl is a truth‑telling communicator and yoga instructor who mixes cultural humility with big personality and even bigger heart. On the mat or behind the mic, she brings sharp insight, real talk, and plenty of laughs. Her mission: help people breathe deeper, think differently, and connect more honestly — all while keeping things refreshingly real. Libby: Libby Supan is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and someone who brings deep personal insight to her work after recovering from a 20-year battle with an eating disorder. Her lived experience is the foundation of her passionate commitment to helping others heal.Libby runs a therapy and coaching practice that supports individuals who feel overwhelmed by constant thoughts about food and body image. She specializes in guiding those stuck in unhealthy eating patterns such as: emotional eating, overeating, binge eating and restricting food toward intuitive eating and lasting food freedom.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.MentionsEpisode 71 with Libby: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5MSqYjdQntkZ7U9OPzfshp?si=Nf1qirJAT4CXq70sSuk60gEpisode 151 with Libby: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5RwjWTJ1qognAwenGYU3NA?si=1db5c2bce4d14701Ozempic: Miracle, Monster, or Misunderstood?

In this eye-opening episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with CBT News co-founder and automotive industry veteran Jim Fitzpatrick for a conversation that every dealer principal, general manager, and automotive leader needs to hear. "The FTC is going to be saying, look, you can't play games with this. If your salesperson is out there pitching a price on a car... your salesperson is now going to be representing to the consumers what the sale price of that car is." - Jim Fitzpatrick As the FTC increases its focus on dealership advertising, pricing transparency, and consumer protection, many retailers are left wondering: Is my dealership truly prepared? Sean and Jim unpack one of the most important topics facing the automotive industry today, exploring how regulatory changes, compliance expectations, and evolving consumer demands are reshaping the dealership landscape. From pricing disclosures and advertising practices to the growing influence of social media and personal branding, this discussion highlights why old habits could create new risks in today's market. "We're really bringing together the smartest minds in retail automotive or most of them, to bring them together to say, look, let's help dealers figure this thing out." - Jim Fitzpatrick Without giving away all the answers, this episode challenges dealers to think differently about compliance, leadership, training, and accountability. More importantly, it highlights why staying informed and proactively adapting may be one of the biggest competitive advantages a dealership can have moving forward. Whether you're a dealer principal, GM, GSM, compliance officer, or automotive professional, this conversation will help you better understand the road ahead and why industry leaders are paying close attention to the conversations surrounding FTC enforcement, dealership operations, and the future of automotive retail.

He began his career in 1980 as a new car salesperson at a high-volume Toyota dealership in South Florida and quickly rose through the ranks, holding executive positions with AutoNation and JM&A. In 2001 Jim became the Managing Partner of a Toyota dealership in Augusta Georgia.  In 2004 Jim, along with his son, John, co- founded Force Marketing in Atlanta, Georgia which currently serves over 1600 franchised dealers throughout North America. In 2012, realizing the need for new car dealers to have their own news and information platform, Jim and his wife Bridget, launched CBT Automotive Network.  In addition to providing daily news reports, CBT produces nine weekly shows, hosted by the industry's best known consultants and trainers. Each show focuses on different departments of the dealership operation. Over 54,000 dealer principals, OEM, and Association Executives throughout North America receive CBT's daily newsletters. A recent study found that more people view CBT's video segments than any other automotive media platform. A father of five and grandfather of six, Jim lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his family.     Harnessing Regulatory Compliance and Social Media Strategy in Automotive Sales: Insights from Industry Leaders   Key Takeaways Social Media Compliance: Dealerships must enforce strict social media policies to ensure compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations and protect their brand image. Price Transparency: Aligning advertising strategies with FTC guidelines on fair pricing can prevent costly violations and enhance consumer trust. Training and Policies: Implementing comprehensive training programs and policies can safeguard dealerships against potential regulatory breaches and maintain operational integrity.   Navigating the Complex World of Social Media Compliance In the ever-evolving automotive industry, dealerships face a growing demand to maintain transparency and compliance, particularly in the realm of social media. The transcript from a riveting conversation between Jim Fitzpatrick and Sean V. Bradley highlights the importance of ensuring dealership employees adhere to social media guidelines set by the FTC. Fitzpatrick asserts that social media has become crucial in portraying a dealership's brand and customer experience. "Take the influencers and have them talk about the experience, have them talk about the selection," he suggests, emphasizing content that avoids pricing to remain compliant. The conversation underscores the significant role dealerships' social media strategies play in forming consumer perceptions and regulatory compliance. With employees potentially acting as brand ambassadors online, the repercussions of non-compliant posts can be detrimental. Discounted prices or misleading offers shared on personal platforms, as Fitzpatrick points out, can draw unwanted regulatory scrutiny. Dealerships are not just at risk of tarnishing their reputation but also face hefty fines. Simply put, ensuring a strategy that focuses on non-monetary aspects of the dealership experience can protect both brand and financial standing. Price Transparency: A Path to Building Consumer Trust Price transparency in dealership advertising is another crucial theme woven throughout the dialogue. The FTC, under the Biden administration, has intensified its focus on what it terms "junk fees" in various industries, including automotive. "Maybe the managers are saying, well, in order for us to be compliant, we're going to price ourselves right out of the marketplace," Fitzpatrick notes, acknowledging the balance dealerships must strike between competitive pricing and regulatory adherence. According to Bradley, the importance of consistency across advertised prices and what consumers actually pay when they walk into a dealership cannot be overstated. Misleading pricing not only disrupts consumer trust but also exposes dealerships to severe penalties. With the FTC reportedly sending out 97 warnings to dealerships about these practices, the industry is on high alert. Dealerships must ensure that their advertising reflects the actual purchase price, minus incentives, to maintain compliance and consumer confidence. Comprehensive Training and Policies for Sustainable Operations Both Bradley and Fitzpatrick adamantly express the importance of robust training and policy establishment to mitigate the risks of regulatory infringements. Fitzpatrick underscores the need for ongoing employee education, suggesting that training programs specifically tailored to reinforce compliance norms can be a dealership's strongest defense. "If you don't have ongoing training in this area…you have no defense," he mentions. Bradley concurs, emphasizing the necessity of consistent managerial oversight and the implementation of structured communication protocols, such as computer use policies. These measures not only ensure that the dealership aligns with federal regulations but also empower employees with the knowledge they need to uphold the company's reputation. Comprehensive, routine audits and training can preemptively address and rectify potential compliance issues before they escalate to external disputes or regulatory scrutiny.   Navigating the intricacies of compliance in the automotive industry requires a proactive and strategic approach. By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability through comprehensive training and controlled social media strategies, dealerships can fortify themselves against regulatory pitfalls. As the conversation between Bradley and Fitzpatrick poignantly illustrates, these measures not only safeguard against financial penalties but also contribute to building a resilient, consumer-focused brand reputation in a competitive industry landscape.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors:   ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Does the resurrection primarily represent political resistance, or does Scripture teach something deeper about sin, death, salvation, and the Kingdom of God?We examine the biblical context of the resurrection, compare the sermon's claims with Scripture, and ask important theological questions about the Gospel message, the mission of Jesus, and how Christians should understand the relationship between faith and politics.The sermons in this video were given by Cody Deese.

There's a lot of bad advice being shared about LinkedIn right now.And honestly?Some of it is costing people their time, money, credibility… and even putting their accounts at risk.That's exactly why I recorded today's episode.Not to call people out.But to protect people from falling for tactics that don't work anymore.Here are 3 of the biggest LinkedIn myths I'm seeing right now:1. “You can generate hundreds or thousands of leads a month on LinkedIn.”No, you can't.At least not in the way most people are advertising it.A connection request is not a lead.- A lead is a real conversation.- A booked call.- An actual opportunity.The math alone doesn't support the claims people are making.2. “Just post consistently, and the content itself doesn't matter.”This is among the worst pieces of advice I have seen.LinkedIn does not reward random content.It rewards relevant content.- Content that teaches.- Content that solves problems.- Content that creates thought leadership.- Content that leaves your audience better after reading it.Posting just to “check the box” is not a strategy.3. “Engagement pods help beat the algorithm.”Nope.LinkedIn has openly discussed cracking down on repetitive engagement activity.And beyond that…Fake engagement does not build real business relationships.Vanity metrics don't pay the bills.Meaningful conversations do.The truth is this:There are no shortcuts on LinkedIn.- No hacks.- No secret loopholes.- No magic automation.The people getting results are building trust through quality content, strategic conversations, and consistency over time.That's what actually works.Click below to download our free guide for "3 High Impact Post Templates" to create more sales opportunities from your LinkedIn content: ⁠https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecsposttemplates

Australian supermarket operator Coles has been found by a court to have been misleading shoppers with fake discounts on a number of common household items. Australia correspondent Nick Grimm spoke to Lisa Owen.

The government is introducing bigger fines for businesses that mislead shoppers. Non-compliant businesses will face penalties of up to $5million. Consumer NZ chief executive Jon Duffy spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Government says it won't punish genuine mistakes with its planned new crackdown on misleading pricing. A bill's been introduced to Parliament that would increase the maximum penalty for misleading prices from $600 thousand to $5 million. The Commerce Commission estimates such prices are costing New Zealanders tens-of-millions-of-dollars a year. Consumer Affairs Minister Cameron Brewer told Mike Hosking there's always room for error. But he says there's also some businesses who treat the current penalty for misleading pricing as the cost of doing business. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don and Tom react to the gold-pushing radio show that replaced Talking Real Money, breaking down misleading claims about gold investing, TSP accounts, and “tax-free” gold IRAs while exposing the fear-based marketing behind precious metals sales. They contrast long-term investing with speculation, discuss Jamie Dimon comments taken wildly out of context, and explain why gold's recent surge says little about the future. Listener questions then shift the conversation toward international diversification, currency risk, sector tilts, Warren Buffett's investing philosophy, and the dangers of overly aggressive retirement portfolios.0:05 TRM celebrates escaping radio before being replaced by a gold-selling show0:41 Listening to “Striking Gold” and Jamie Dimon's gold comments taken out of context2:05 Gold sales commissions and fear-driven retirement marketing3:12 Gold's recent run versus long-term stock market returns4:18 Debunking claims that TSP assets are endangered by USPS finances5:30 Why fear and instability have driven gold prices higher lately5:55 Gold's massive decline from 1980 through 20007:07 Problems with comparing physical gold to cash savings7:38 Misleading claims about tax-free gold IRA withdrawals9:04 Gold IRA marketing tricks and Roth IRA confusion9:57 States stockpiling gold and why it may be a bad long-term idea10:30 Prepper logic: why ammo and canned food matter more than gold11:30 The economics behind nationwide gold radio advertising12:28 Listener calls, Auschwitz exhibit voiceover talk, and Chad's international investing question13:39 AVGE, international equities, and whether currency risk matters15:30 Emerging markets, currency swings, and diversification benefits16:15 Japan's lost decades and the importance of global diversification17:37 Why AVGE is a strong long-term diversified fund18:07 Why multinational U.S. companies are not true international diversification19:28 Robert asks about sector tilts and Warren Buffett underweighting financials20:46 Why sector overweighting lacks strong evidence21:32 The factors that actually have long-term data behind them22:52 Buffett's advice for regular investors versus Berkshire's strategy24:05 Francisco's $1.5 million retirement portfolio reviewed25:34 Concerns about low bond exposure and large-cap concentration27:12 Bond funds versus CD ladders and the real role of fixed income28:02 Problems with dividend-heavy retirement income portfolios28:50 “Hodgepodgey” portfolio construction and balancing risk29:05 Using the TRM risk quiz to evaluate stock/bond allocation30:04 Free fiduciary portfolio reviews from Appella advisors30:27 Tom jokes about putting gold in his least favorite brother's portfolioQuestions?

When suffering hits, everyone has an explanation. But are the most common answers actually helpful — or do they miss the point entirely? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld takes a closer look at John 9 and the question Jesus' disciples brought to him about a man born blind. What Jesus says in response challenges some of our deepest assumptions about pain, and points us toward a definition of good and evil that changes everything.Trusting God in Suffering: One of the obstacles to faith is the problem of pain. Why does a powerful loving God allow suffering? The Scriptures are forthright and do not ignore, diminish or bypass the problem. Nor do they resolve it. But God does tell us how we are to respond to pain. In this 10 message series, Dr. John will explore God's teaching on pain. It will not answer every question, but it will help us in the midst of our struggles.

In 2019, the LDS Church released a new video on the Word of Wisdom, also known as the Lord's Law of Health. With over 200,000 views, the video attempts to explain why Latter-day Saints abstain from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, and drugs—but it glosses over the messy historical reality.From its origins in 1833, the Word of Wisdom was shaped by the temperance movement, early 19th-century cultural habits, and practical concerns—like Emma Smith confronting Joseph Smith about tobacco in the School of the Prophets. Yet early church members, including Joseph Smith himself, continued to drink alcohol and smoke for decades.This Mormon News Roundup episode highlights how the 2019 video uses simplified imagery and cartoony narration to:Portray early leaders as polished and scholarlyPortray outsiders as bumbling or immoralAvoid explaining that the Word of Wisdom was not a commandment until the 1920sSkip over real historical issues, like cholera outbreaks, boiling water, and inconsistencies in “hot drinks” definitionsWe break down the historical context, the real social influences behind the Word of Wisdom, and why the Church continues to present a sanitized version of history—even in 2019.

Mario must be ready to face the podcast ahead of him. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're talking about Super Mario World. Undeniably one of the most iconic games on the Super Nintendo, if you are involved in the platformer space at all, you will see Super Mario World come up pretty much every day. This more than any other game defined what 2D platformers could be throughout the 90s, and it's a very easy game to look back on because of just how refined it is in terms of level design and control. I don't think there's too much more that needs to be explained about one of the most well known games of all time, We're going to be talking about polish vs. innovation and which parts of this game you find by tracing back its legacy, the iconic presentational elements of this game like its music and credits sequence, and we pitch yet another way Nintendo could improve Pokémon Snap for some reason. Thank you for joining us again this week! Obviously this is a very old and well regarded game, so we're hoping that having a new player will give us a fresh perspective on it 36 years down the line from its original release. I highlighted this as one of my top 100 games on our 10th anniversary, but is this a title you have a particular history with? Are you way too young to be playing games that are pushing 40? Let us know over on our Discord or in the comments! Next time, we begin Mystery May, where we let fate decide which episodes we are doing and for the first roll this month came up Fez! So we hope you'll join us for that and to find out which game gets randomly decided on during that episode. We are absolutely dripping with tension this month.

This time we're diving into something truly under the radar that I've been thinking about for years: the eternal battle of Same SKU versus Other SKU ad sales.A lot of sellers don't even realize one crucial detail. When you look at the revenue column in your ad account, you're not just seeing the sales of the exact product you're advertising. By default, Amazon lumps in the sales of your other products if a buyer clicks on your ad but ultimately chooses a different size, color, or a completely different item from your catalog. In this fresh episode of the PPC Den, we'll break down why this phenomenon can make your ACoS look way worse than it actually is, and how this confusion often pushes advertisers into making bad optimization decisions.We'll see you in The PPC Den!

There's a ton of real estate data out there right now - headlines, percentages, trends, “expert” takes… And a lot of it sounds smart. But what if some of those numbers are actually hurting you instead of helping you? In this episode, Todd and the team break down why many of the stats you see in the media, and even from agents, can be misleading, oversimplified, or flat-out dangerous when making real estate decisions. This isn't about conspiracy theories… it's about understanding how data gets twisted, misused, or taken out of context, and how that can lead to bad decisions when buying, selling, or investing. The big takeaway? Real estate is hyper-local, highly nuanced, and deeply personal, so broad, generalized stats can lead you in the wrong direction fast. If you want to protect your money, your decisions, and your peace of mind… this episode will completely change how you look at real estate data.

Sara Haines sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to explain why she believes Tucker Carlson apologizing for misleading people and speaking out against President Trump doesn't earn him a pass. She also weighs in on the Texas law being upheld that requires the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms and shares why she strongly disagrees with it. The conversation turns personal as Sara opens up about parenting and other areas in life where she explains why she's comfortable being “good enough” rather than striving for perfection. She also reflects on whether she considers herself a thrill seeker—and how that mentality shows up in both her personal life and career. Learn more about your ad choices.

I've seen this challenge again and again with teams building analytics and AI products: nobody can define what quality to the end user means or how to measure. The answer? “Adoption.”  The problem is that “amount of usage” tells you nothing useful about your customer's experience with your product beyond “it's not zero.” So what should you be measuring instead so your buyers don't quickly abandon once the end users get their hands on the keyboard (or agent!)?   The answer is to understand through qualitative measures what users' experiences are like now, so you have an objective baseline from which to compare future product investment. When you can define their current experience's quality, it's much easier to imagine their better future, and you also now have a change you can measure. Measurable outcomes are the foundation of high-value, sticky B2B analytics and intelligence products—and when your end users' lives are improved, the sales close, and the renewals aren't questioned. So today, I jump into “how do you measure UX?” so you aren't surprised when the sale doesn't close or that renewal doesn't come through unexpectedly.    Highlights / Skip to: Why I think product adoption (i.e. product usage analytics) are misleading as a means to define whether your solution is valuable to users (1:34) Getting a better baseline reading of user experience so you can improve their life and your sales/retention KPIs (4:56) How to measure, hypothesize, and observe if your product is working “well” (7:35) Discovering where your product is being appreciated (20:28) What about when AI is in the loop?

Every public company's R&D number is a lie hiding in plain sight. Not because anyone falsified it. Because the number was never built to tell the truth. It was built to satisfy an accounting standard written in 1974. And for fifty years, boards, analysts, and CEOs have been making billion-dollar innovation decisions based on a number designed by accountants to solve a different problem entirely. Here's what makes this genuinely strange. The real number exists. The government has been collecting it from every major US company for decades. It would answer the question every innovation leader and investor actually needs answered. And it is locked away by federal law. Confidential. Never published. Never seen by the people who need it most. It's sitting in a federal database right now. And there's a way to estimate it for any public company, without asking anyone's permission. I know it exists because I spent years building it from the inside. Why the R&D Signal Was Blurry When I was running innovation at HP, we discovered this problem firsthand. We had a connection between R&D investment and gross margin that held up across decades of HP history. Better than anything Wall Street was using. But the signal was blurry. None of us could figure out why. The answer came from a question someone on the team asked almost as an aside. What if R&D isn't one thing? Research and Development Are Not the Same Thing Think about what actually lives inside a typical R&D budget. There's a team somewhere investigating whether a new approach could enable a capability that doesn't exist yet. No product defined. No spec written. Asking whether something is even possible. And there's a team building the next version of a product that ships in eighteen months. Spec locked. Timeline set. Engineering executing against a defined target. Both show up on the same line in the budget. Both get called R&D. Both count equally toward the number that gets reviewed every quarter. They are not the same thing. One is Research. The other is Development. Research is the work you do when you don't yet know what you're building. The output is understanding. New knowledge that might enable future products nobody has designed yet. You can't know exactly what you'll find. If you already knew, it wouldn't be research. Development is the work you do when you know exactly what you're building. The spec exists. The product is defined. The question isn't what to make. It's whether it can be made, on time, at cost, at quality. One creates the future. The other delivers the present. And for fifty years, every public company in America has been required to report them as one indistinguishable number. When we split the HP data along that line, Research on one side and Development on the other, the signal sharpened immediately. Research spend, measured against gross margin three to five years later, was a meaningfully stronger predictor than the combined number had ever been. The blur hadn't been in the gross margin data. It had been in the R&D number itself. Two fundamentally different things, averaged together, producing a number that looked precise and predicted almost nothing. But splitting R from D at the company level was only the beginning. The model was still lying to us. Just more quietly. Why Company-Level R&D Splits Still Mislead Even with the split, something was still soft. HP wasn't one business. It was dozens. Printers, PCs, servers, software, each running on different timelines, different technology cycles, different competitive dynamics. What if the R/D split meant something different depending on where it was applied? We pushed it to the product line level. Then further, to the platform level within product lines. Printers were the clearest example. HP's printer business wasn't one story. There were platforms built on established technology. Mature ink systems, proven print head chemistry, products that had been shipping for years. And there were platforms built on genuinely new core technology. New chemistry. New mechanisms. New approaches to fundamental problems that nobody had solved yet. Research investment by platform told a completely different story than Research investment by product category. The Research going into new technology platforms had a completely different relationship to future margin than Research going into mature platforms. Different time horizons. Different risk profiles. Different margin implications years down the road. Laptops told the same story. A traditional consumer laptop line and a high-performance portable workstation weren't the same investment. One was Development-heavy. Defined product, known market, engineering executing against spec. The other had genuine Research behind it. Unsolved thermal problems, new form factor constraints, and materials questions that hadn't been answered yet. When a single R&D assumption is applied across all of that, treating every dollar the same regardless of what it actually does, the signal disappears into the average. Peanut butter across the portfolio. The model only got honest when it got specific. Research by platform and Development by platform, matched against the margin performance of those specific platforms years later. Which platforms were building future margin? Which ones were running on margin that past Research had already bought? We could see it because we were inside the company. The question is whether anyone on the outside could ever see the same thing. The R&D Data the Government Collects and Won't Release Outside the internal budget process, everyone sees the same thing: a single line on the income statement. The US government recognized decades ago that the combined R&D number was analytically useless. So they built a system to collect the real one. The National Science Foundation runs a survey called the Business Enterprise Research and Development survey. The BERD survey. Every year, roughly 47,500 US companies are required to report their R&D spending broken into three categories: basic research, applied research, and experimental development. The split that every board and every investor needs to see. Mandatory. Collected. Verified. And then locked away. The firm-level data is confidential under federal law. The NSF publishes only industry-level aggregates. So every company fills out this survey and reports its real R/D split to the government. That data sits in a federal database. And the boards, investors, and analysts who need it most cannot access it. Researchers at Northwestern and Boston University were given rare access to that confidential data. What they found is striking. When companies face financial pressure and cut R&D, they don't cut Development. They cut Research. Almost entirely. Development barely moves. Every earnings squeeze. Every activist campaign. Every cost optimization program. Systematically targeting the one part of R&D that builds future margin. And because the combined number barely moves, nobody on the outside sees it happening. That's not a coincidence. That's the accounting standard doing exactly what it was designed to do: produce one clean number for the income statement. It was never asked to protect the future. How to Estimate the Research-to-Development Split Without Inside Access So what can actually be done without access to the locked data? More than most people realize. Step 1. Find the industry baseline. The aggregate BERD data is public at the sector level. Ask an AI tool for the Research-to-Development ratio for the relevant industry. That's the benchmark. Everything else gets measured against it. A company spending 8% of its R&D on Research in an industry where the average is 25% is telling you something the combined number never would. Step 2. Look at the gross margin trend compared to peers. Gross margin over time is the most honest external signal of Research health. A company with a declining margin relative to peers, while reporting flat or growing R&D spend, is almost certainly shifting the mix toward Development. The math works in the other direction, too. An AI tool can pull this comparison for any public company in minutes. This is exactly the signal that was invisible at HP until it was too late. Step 3. Look at patent trends compared to peers over time. Patents are an imperfect but useful directional indicator. Not because more patents always means more Research. It doesn't. But a sustained decline in patent output relative to peers, alongside flat R&D spend, suggests the investment is maintaining existing products rather than creating new knowledge. Combined with the gross margin trend, it starts to triangulate where the split actually sits. None of these three steps requires access to an internal budget. All of them can be done in an afternoon with public data and an AI tool. Together, they produce a working picture of the R/D split that the income statement was never designed to reveal. What the R&D Split Revealed at HP That No One Outside Could See When Hurd took over in 2005, HP was spending $3.5 billion on R&D. Roughly 4% of revenue. By 2009, his last full year as CEO, that had dropped to $2.8 billion. Revenue had grown significantly over that period, so the percentage had fallen further still, to under 2.5%. Both the dollar amount and the ratio were declining simultaneously while the company got larger. Wall Street tracked the combined number. The board reviewed it. Nobody raised a structural alarm. The Research component within that total was well below the industry average for comparable technology companies. Not slightly. Significantly. The margin consequences arrived years later. They always do. What Happens When the Definition of Research Doesn't Exist The R/D split gave us a real predictive signal. We ran with it. The conversations were sharper. But the team kept pulling on a thread that nobody expected. When we looked closely at what was actually being called Research, project by project and budget line by budget line, things that didn't feel the same kept appearing. Work aimed at fundamental discovery. Work aimed at solving a specific defined problem using entirely new methods. Both labeled Research. Up close, they behaved differently, predicted different things, and when budgets got tight, got treated very differently. So we went looking for the agreed definition. The official standard that would tell exactly where to draw the lines inside Research. It didn't exist. Not the way we needed it to. And without it, everything we'd built was sitting on sand. How do you build a predictive model on a definition that doesn't exist? That's the next episode. If this helped you see something you might have missed, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

A viral claim keeps making the rounds: that a 1% advisory fee will drain hundreds of thousands of dollars from your retirement savings. The math looks alarming... and that's exactly the point. But as with most things in finance (and life!), the truth is more nuanced than a headline or social media post makes it seem. In this episode, I break down research from Derek Tharp, Ph.D., CFP®, that puts this widely shared math to the test and reveals where it falls apart.  Here's what you'll learn: → The misleading assumptions behind the popular "1% fee" calculation  → How alternative fee models can be 3x more expensive using the same math → What academic research says about quantifying the value of a good advisor → A smarter way to evaluate whether hiring an advisor makes sense for your specific situation This episode isn't about defending any particular fee model. It's about making sure you have the right information to evaluate the cost, the value, and the role financial advice may play in your retirement planning.  ***
