Momentum is a weapon you should harness in your life...

Bond yields have spiked globally led by an inter-related combination of oil prices and re-pricing of central bank terminal rates. Momentum and investors exiting long exposure has added fuel to the fire. To put it in context, the one-month increase in US 2y yields is one of the largest over the past 25 years. This has pushed up long term rates and flattened the curve. These dynamics haven't been isolated to the US market; it is a global phenomenon. For now, risk asset such as equities and credit has been well behaved, but history shows when rates rise sharply and there is an accompanying exogenous shock like oil, that small cracks in macro or markets can grow.Participants:Blake Gwinn (Desk Strategy), Head of US Rates StrategyJason Daw (Desk Strategy), Head of North America Rates StrategyPeter Schaffrik (Desk Strategy), Head of UK/European Rates & Economics* Research Analyst opinions are their published views, independent of those expressed by Desk Analysts

Send us Fan MailKevin Graeber on Masters Academy International, year-round development, and a practical system for base stealingCoach Ken Carpenter talks with Kevin Graeber, the coach behind Masters Academy International in Massachusetts, about building an athletics-centered school, developing runners without overloading them, and teaching base stealing with repeatable mechanics. Kevin breaks down his approach to leads, returns, right-handed and left-handed pitchers, momentum steals, and stealing home.We discuss both the coaching philosophy and the technical details: how to create a culture players buy into, why Japanese baseball has influenced his thinking, and how confidence and specificity shape elite baserunning. Kevin also shares a personal coaching origin story that started with a cancer diagnosis and eventually led to coaching at every level of the game.Key topicsKevin explains the mission of Masters Academy International and how it fills a New England gap for athletes who want academics and year-round sports development on equal footing.He describes the school's enrollment mix, including boarding, day, postgraduate, and middle school options, with baseball players coming from places like the Dominican Republic, California, Florida, Chicago, and Massachusetts.In discussing year-round development, Kevin emphasizes workload management, mental skills, strength and conditioning, and seasonal training blocks that reduce overuse and burnout.He challenges the common coach mindset of labeling runners simply as “fast” or “slow,” arguing that base stealing and momentum steals need daily attention and microdosed practice.Kevin teaches base running through force direction, especially the difference between vertical force and horizontal force, and uses simple analogies to help players understand shin angle, posture, and center of mass.He outlines his teaching progression for leads off first base, including measuring 12 feet, building comfort with eyes closed, and learning how to return safely with a four-step dive-back progression.For right-handed pitchers, Kevin focuses on a gaze anchor, usually the back heel and front heel, plus shoulder cues, while letting players find the cues that work best for them.Against left-handed pitchers, Kevin uses a one-way lead and a one shuffle secondary before layering in delayed steals, run and hit actions, and first-movement steals.Kevin says Japanese baseball has heavily influenced his thinking, especially its emphasis on stealing culture, sliding, straight-steal mechanics, and falling rather than pushing to create horizontal movement.He makes a strong case for stealing home when the timing, distance, and anticipation all line up, especially on throwbacks from the catcher.The conversation shifts to coaching culture, where Kevin stresses defining “play hard” with specificity and using core values for both on-field and off-field behavior.Kevin shares that one of the biggest surprises in coaching was realizing how much he still had to learn, and he intentionally aims to look back every five years and be amazed by how little he knew before.He recounts surviving a serious cancer diagnosis in college, then getting his first coaching opportunity through an American Legion team, which helped launch his coaching career.The episode closes with stories about arguing with umpires, respecting officials, and the importance of catching players doing good.Timestamps00:00 - Introducing Kevin Graeber and Masters Academy International 01:18 - Why Masters Academy International exists in New England 02:51 - Who enrolls at the academy and where the baseball players come from 03:27 - Managing year-round development without burning players out 05:01 - Why baserunning gets ignored compared with hitting and pitching 06:48 - Teaching horizontal force instead of just “speed” 08:26 - The evolution of how Kevin teaches a primary lead 10:44 - Building a 12-foot lead and learning to find distance by feel 12:48 - Surrendering to technique on dive backs and returns 14:38 - Momentum steals and the four checkboxes Kevin uses 15:22 - What to read on right-handed pitchers 17:27 - How Kevin coaches left-handed pitchers 20:21 - Delayed steals, run and hit, and first-movement steals 23:11 - What coaches can learn from Japanese baseball 24:27 - Lou Brock's zero step and the fall-and-pull idea 27:48 - How Kevin thinks about stealing home 31:39 - Building culture intentionally with specific standards 33:54 - The coaching lesson Kevin learned from surviving cancer 37:29 - Why fear of failure motivates him more than winning 38:44 - Choosing Lou Brock and Johnny Bench over other legends 41:02 - Growing up with unstructured sandlot baseball 43:26 - Best story from coaching in Double-A 47:00 - Respecting umpires and catching kids doing good 49:01 - Coaching the Lowell Spinners and stealing 160 bases in 59 games 50:09 - Sharing ideas freely to grow the gamIf you coach high school baseball, travel ball, or college baseball and want more runs without changing your lineup, this one's for you.

If you want to double your revenue, does part of you immediately start calculating how much more you're going to have to do? More clients. More calls. More content. More delivery. Maybe another team member. And suddenly the idea of making twice as much money sounds a lot like doing twice as much work. No wonder part of you is resisting the next level. Because if your current business already has you at capacity, doubling everything you're currently doing isn't growth. It's a recipe for exhaustion. In this episode, we're looking at what actually needs to change when you want to increase your revenue without increasing your workload at the same rate.

What does it take to move from survival mode to a life built around calm, clarity, connection, and purpose? In this episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast, Dan McPherson, founder and CEO of Leaders Must Lead, shares the difficult road behind the confident, calm, and purpose-driven person he is today. He opens up about growing up with anxiety, depression, an abusive alcoholic father, and experiences that taught him survival was something he had to fight for 02:05. Dan also speaks candidly about surviving a suicide attempt at 16 and the unexpected kindness that helped save his life. A woman who didn't know the depth of his struggle noticed he was having a difficult day, offered him a ride, and spent hours talking with him. Dan reflects on how ordinary moments can have extraordinary impact, especially when someone is struggling to reach out 04:56. The conversation explores the difference between refusing to ask for help and not having the capacity to do so. Dan explains why reaching for someone in pain can matter more than we realize, and how empathy is often shaped by the struggles people have survived themselves 08:18. Dan shares how his second suicide attempt forced him to question the identity he had built around insecurity, ego, money, achievement, and leadership. Instead of asking who others wanted him to be, he began asking, “Who do I want to be?” That question became the starting point for rebuilding his life 16:01. Leadership is another central theme. Dan explains the difference between managing tasks and leading people, arguing that leadership is influence and that every person leads in some way, whether intentionally or not. For him, effective leadership is rooted in connection and movement, helping people feel seen, heard, understood, and part of meaningful progress 29:04. Dan also breaks down his calm, clarity, and focus framework. He explains why ambitious people often skip calm, how stress can create tunnel vision, and why calm must come first before clear decision-making is possible 31:27. He shares practical exercises involving gratitude and daily growth, including writing down three new things to appreciate and recording one way to move forward each day 35:19. Later, Dan reflects on surviving four heart attacks in one year, divorce, a global pandemic, and the loss of physical abilities he once took for granted. Those experiences changed his relationship with mortality, presence, empathy, and purpose. He explains how painful experiences can equip people to reach others they could never have helped before 45:57. This episode is a powerful conversation about adversity, suicide prevention, personal growth, leadership, relationships, purpose, and the belief that dreams can become real through action. As Dan puts it, “People matter most and relationships are everything.”

You did the hard part. You built the relationship, you cast the vision, and you got the yes. Then the machine takes over. Licensing, systems, paperwork, and the weeks start going by. By the time your new producer is cleared to start, the fire's gone out, and sometimes they walk before day one. And even when they make it in the door, 29% of loan officers who transition end up moving again within 90 days. Here's what I want you to walk away with today. The space between the yes and the start is where a lot of leaders quietly lose people, and by the end of this episode you'll know how to protect it. I call it protecting the gap, and there are five moves to it. Episode Breakdown [00:01:25] The Cornhole Tournament A leader I coach hired a loan officer and refused to let that new hire start out quietly. He threw a first annual cornhole tournament built around the loan officer, and roughly 150 real estate agents showed up. When he told me about it afterward, the thing he kept coming back to was the momentum. They had so much momentum in the marketplace from that one event, and his new producer started with visibility and a room full of relationships instead of an empty pipeline and a lot of second-guessing. The energy you promise while you're recruiting has to show up during the transition, and the leaders who keep people are the ones who plan that energy before the start date ever arrives. [00:02:14] Move 1: Name the Gap Out Loud and Put It on Paper The moment someone says yes, tell them the truth about what's coming, how long onboarding takes, what happens each week, and what to expect. I'd go one step earlier than that. For years I did what most leaders do, send someone to corporate for a visit, make an offer, and only after they said yes would we start talking about onboarding. When I moved that conversation up to the local site visit, decisions sped up, because the fear of a hard transition got handled before it ever turned into an objection. People don't move toward abstract ideas. If you tell someone your transitions are amazing, that means nothing to them. The moment you hand them a checklist and say can I walk you through exactly what happens from day one to day 90, it becomes something they can see. A good onboarding document does two jobs at once. The big-picture person gets a confident top-line view of the process, and the detail person gets to see exactly what's going to be done on each day. People always move toward certainty and clarity, and that page gives them both. I'd also put William Bridges' book Managing Transitions in the right-hand drawer of every leader I coach. Every new hire walks into a transition zone the day they sign, new systems, new people, new tools, and a new culture all at once, and the leaders who've studied how people move through that zone lose far fewer of them. [00:03:40] Move 2: Keep Delivering Value in the Gap Most leaders go quiet after the yes because the selling feels done, and that silence is exactly when second thoughts move in. Stay present. Keep sending something useful, keep checking in with a reason, and keep them feeling chosen all the way to the start line. [00:03:59] Move 3: Build Momentum and Put a Person on the Transition Give your new producer something to be part of before they officially start, a launch, an event, introductions to the team, and a plan for their first 30 days. Then give them a human being. When I was leading, a transition processor would come into my office during the site visit and introduce herself. She'd say if you were to join the team, I'd be the one handling your transition, and then she'd lay out everything. It felt organic, and what she was showing the recruit was that we had them. I also had a transition loan officer who served as the concierge for every new hire's first 90 days, and I paid that person somewhere between 50 and 75 basis points of the new hire's production. That was the best investment I could make, because nobody missed a step that could cost them a loan while they were learning our systems. [00:04:50] Move 4: Keep Transferring Belief Onboarding usually gets treated as a checklist, and the checklist matters, but the bigger work between the yes and the start is reminding them why they made a great decision. Talk about the vision, the future, and the reason they said yes to begin with. Tasks get them set up, and belief is what keeps them. Just make sure you educate before you motivate. Education plus motivation plus application is what equals transformation. If all I do is fire someone up and never walk them through how the numbers work, they hit their first tough month, look at their pro forma, and say that's not what was sold to me. Belief built on a clear picture holds up when the first hard month shows up. [00:05:35] Move 5: Be the Steady Voice Time kills deals, and a long onboarding is a long stretch of time. During it, their current company may make a counteroffer, a friend may plant a doubt, and fear may get loud at the kitchen table. Your job is to be the calm, consistent anchor through all of it, the leader who doesn't waver while everything else does. And keep your promises lined up with what you can deliver. Expectations without agreements are toxic. If you sold a dream in recruiting that your day-to-day leadership can't back up, it shows up in the first 90 days, and by then the producer's already half out the door. [00:06:14] Why It Works That 29% has a partner. 68% of loan officers who transition say one year in that they're not sure they made the right move. When I look at those two numbers, I see onboarding, all of it. Excitement has a half-life. The energy a recruit feels the day they say yes starts fading the moment nothing happens, and silence during a long gap doesn't read as neutral to them, it reads like buyer's remorse setting in. Momentum and value reset that clock. Every touch, every bit of belief, and every piece of forward motion tells them they made the right call, and the leader who builds a great first 90 days is still collecting on it five years later. There's one more payoff most leaders miss. Anytime someone was in transition with me, they were my best recruiter. I had a first conversation with a branch manager named Tammy on a Friday afternoon, and I walked away thinking she wasn't going anywhere, she was cold. So I connected her with Tiffany, who was about 90 days into her move to our team, and Tiffany told her the first 90 days had felt like a vacation. Not long after, I got a text asking if we could get together Monday, because Tammy was highly interested in taking next steps. I hadn't done a thing to warm her up. A new hire who feels carried through the gap will recruit for you while that energy's still fresh, usually for about the first six months. [00:07:41] Your Small Win Today If you've got someone sitting between yes and day one right now, pull up their name before you close the laptop today and write down one useful thing you could send them this week. If nobody's in the gap at the moment, do it for the next person who will be, because they're coming. That one note is often the difference between a new hire who feels remembered and one who starts wondering if they made a mistake. [00:08:05] Three Bigger Moves This Week Map out the onboarding timeline you'll walk every new hire through, week by week, and put it on a single page, so the wait feels like a plan and your whole team knows what's coming. Build one moment of momentum for someone before their start date, an introduction, an event, or a first-month plan, so they spend the gap feeling like part of something. Then set a simple check-in rhythm for anyone between yes and start, so no strong recruit goes cold while the paperwork catches up. Key Takeaways The yes isn't the finish line. The space between the yes and the start is where a lot of leaders quietly lose people. 29% of transitioning loan officers move again within 90 days, and 68% say a year in they're not sure they made the right move. That's onboarding. Don't tell them your transitions are amazing. Hand them a one-page day-one-to-day-90 checklist, because people move toward certainty and clarity. Silence after the yes doesn't read as neutral. It reads like buyer's remorse setting in. Put a real person on the transition. A concierge for the first 90 days is worth 50 to 75 basis points because nobody misses a step. Educate before you motivate. Education plus motivation plus application equals transformation, and belief built on a clear picture survives the first hard month. The producer in transition is your best recruiter. Carried through the gap, they'll bring people to you for about the first six months. If you keep losing strong recruits somewhere between the yes and the start, reach out.

Alistair Higham draws on more than 40 years of coaching experience to explore the power of momentum and how it can shape the outcome of a tennis match. He explains that momentum is about more than the score, emphasizing the importance of recognizing how players respond to individual match events and changes in performance levels. Higham shares how coaches can help players identify shifts in momentum, capitalize on their strengths, and remain composed when a match begins to turn. For college coaches, particularly those managing multiple matches, understanding when to intervene and when to allow a player to work through a momentum shift can be a valuable tool for maximizing performance. This episode explores practical strategies for players and coaches to understand and leverage momentum for better performance.

Jenn Palmer is the founder and CEO of JPalmer Collective, bringing 20 years of experience in the financing industry. She specializes in helping growing consumer brands access capital and has developed a particular focus on food, beverage, health and wellness companies and women-led businesses. JPalmer Collective is an asset-based lending company that provides flexible financing to growing businesses. The firm works as a long-term growth partner, helping companies fund inventory, receivables and other needs while providing founders with financial guidance and access to capital without necessarily giving up equity.JPalmer Collective typically works with companies generating between roughly $5 million and $100 million in revenue, although it will make exceptions for companies it strongly believes in. The firm can also assign lending value to established trademarks, providing additional capital based on the value of a healthy, growing brand. Supporting female entrepreneurs is central to JPalmer Collective's mission. Jenn committed to maintaining a portfolio that is at least 51% female-owned or female-led after helping finance Stasher, a reusable silicone bag company that later sold to SC Johnson. Jenn said the experience demonstrated how having women represented in financing decisions can influence which businesses and ideas receive capital. Jenn believes founders need to distinguish business momentum from financial health. Strong sales, publicity and retail distribution can make a brand appear successful, but margins, cash conversion, operational strength and a clear plan for funding growth provide a much better picture of the underlying business.Rapid growth can create serious financial problems when founders don’t understand how that growth will be funded. Jenn cautions against pursuing every retail opportunity simply for the sake of increasing sales and believes growth needs to make financial sense before a company commits to it.The cash conversion cycle is one of the metrics Jenn wishes more food and beverage founders understood. Inventory represents cash tied up until a retailer pays, so a company’s ability to manage the time between paying for products and receiving payment can determine whether its growth is actually fundable.Jenn places significant importance on the founder and management team when deciding whether to finance a business. She looks for self-aware, coachable leaders who surround themselves with talented people, accept criticism and have colleagues willing to challenge their ideas rather than simply agree with them.Landing a major retailer can create a cash crunch rather than immediately improving a company’s finances. Brands often have to pay for inventory and production long before receiving payment, while simultaneously absorbing expenses such as slotting fees, chargebacks and deductions. Too much demand can sometimes be more dangerous than too little. Rapid demand can strain cash, create stockouts and late shipments, damage retailer relationships and force founders into expensive financing decisions. Jenn believes companies need the discipline to turn down opportunities they aren’t financially or operationally prepared to execute. Jenn pays close attention to consumer trends but believes timing, the product and the management team matter as much as identifying the trend itself. She focused her career on health and wellness beginning in 2008 and now sees fiber as an emerging opportunity, describing it as potentially “the next protein.”Jenn sees debt and equity as tools for different circumstances, describing debt as “dating” and equity as “marriage.” Venture capital can provide valuable growth funding, but it also creates dilution and pressure to generate outsized returns, making it important for founders to choose financing that fits where their business is and where they want it to go. Jenn says the funding gap for female founders remains significant despite years of attention to the issue. Her experience building JPalmer Collective reinforced her belief that women need greater representation on the financing side of the table and that female entrepreneurs benefit from capital partners who genuinely understand and support their businesses.   QUOTES “I've learned to separate momentum from health. Momentum is very exciting. But health is what determines whether that momentum survives the next big order or not.” (Jenn)“At the end of the day, I actually have two businesses. One is lending the money and the other is getting it back.” (Jenn)“Growth that outruns a founder's grasp of their own cash is probably one of the fastest ways for a good brand to get in trouble.” (Jenn)“Growth has to make sense on paper, and I don't believe that growth cures all. When somebody says to me, ‘Sales cures all,' I run for the hills.” (Jenn)“Most founders are just laser focused on revenue growth and gross margin, which matters, of course, but it's the cash conversion cycle that tells you whether the growth is actually fundable or not.” (Jenn)“If I'm at a table of people who are agreeing with me, I'm at the wrong table. I don't want to be at the table. I want people to challenge me.” (Jenn)“Founders are visionaries. They just want to go and they want to dream, and you need people around you that can execute, but also say, ‘No, you can't chase all of your dreams all at once.'” (Jenn)“We make and break our own rules for the right deal.” (Jenn)“Growth is a problem. It's a great problem, but it's certainly a problem with these big retailers.” (Jenn)“Counterintuitively, too much demand can be more dangerous. It can strain a business's cash to the breaking point, damage that retailer trust through stockouts, late shipments, and then force the founder into expensive, rushed financing decisions.” (Jenn)“Trends are important, but probably even more is the timing around those and the management team and the product behind the trends as well.” (Jenn)“Debt is like dating and equity is like marriage.” (Jenn)

A 30-year study has revealed the long-term impacts of domestic and family violence and a higher prevalence of Endometriosis than first thought. - آدمک‌های ساختگی برای آزمایش تصادفات، برای دهه‌ها بر اساس بدن مردان ساخته می‌شدند و تنها چند سال پیش آدمک ساختگی بر اساس بدن زن نیز معرفی گردید. تحقیقات کلینیکی نیز در اکثر موارد زنان را نادیده می‌گرفتند؛ اما ادویه‌جات و روش‌های تداوی حاصل از این تحقیقات، متعاقباً برای تمام نفوس استفاده می‌شد. این تناقض‌ها در یک تحقیق برجسته که به بررسی اتفاقات واقع شده در بدن، ذهن و زندگی زنان می‌پردازد، شامل شده است؛ تحقیقی که اکنون ۳۰ سالگی خود را تجلیل می‌کند. از جمله آخرین یافته‌های این تحقیق درک عمیق‌تر از تأثیرات درازمدت خشونت‌های خانگی و خانوادگی، و شیوع بیشتر بیماری اندومتریوز (Endometriosis) نسبت به آنچه در ابتداء تصور می‌شد، می‌باشد.For centuries, studies of human health have focused predominantly on men. Momentum for change began in the 1970s and 80s, through the women's health movement in Australia. It led to the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, which has been ongoing for 30 years, and is unique internationally. In the three decades of the study, it has revealed the long-term the impacts of domestic violence on women's health, and has changed our understanding of the prevalence of Endometriosis on women's health.In this episode:The rise of Australia's women's health movement and the birth of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health.The immediate and long-term consequences of family, domestic and sexual violence on women's physical and mental health.The push for earlier Endometriosis diagnosis and intervention.Why the study wants to attract a more diverse survey participant base.SBS News in Depth is a news analysis podcast from SBS, going behind the headlines with reporting and interviews on the stories shaping Australia and the world.Listen to more episodes of SBS News in Depth, and follow the show on the SBS Audio app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.For the latest news from Australia and around the world, visit SBS News and follow us on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.has -

Ben and Andrew begin with the Meta Connect keynote and a simple question: is this the first time since 2021 that Meta has been cool? From there, new VR glasses, the Muse Charm, a basketball analogy for Meta Connect in 2026, and the infrastructure and talent investments that have helped Muse resonate over the past few weeks. Then: An emailer shares his Muse epiphany, a potential secondary effect of agents saving users money, why Muse is not sharing user data with Meta, and the ultimate “aggregator of aggregators” upside. Then: Extended thoughts on the Muse vs. Amazon tensions, why Meta's Walmart deal was potentially crucial, and Amazon's moat in logistics (and returns) that may prove durable in the agents era. At the end: A CarPlay victory lap, and a round of AI Show and Tell with a wedding planner, a SunOS coder, and a fantasy football league.

Since the election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America have emerged as a defining force in Democratic Party politics. Mayor Mamdani's endorsement of three successful DSA candidates in the New York congressional primaries garnered national attention, and other DSA candidates have won a slew of primaries and electoral contests across the country, including a seat on Cleveland City Council.rnrnAs the New York Times reported the DSA has seen tremendous growth, from just under 7,000 members at the advent of the Bernie Sanders presidential bid in 2015 to more than 120,000 today. Defining itself in opposition to capitalism, the DSA calls for democracy "powered by everyday people" and advocates for Medicare for All, a 32-hour work week, a living wage, the abolition of ICE, and the right to self-determination for the Palestinian people, along with many other progressive and democratic reforms.rnrnAshik Siddique is the DSA's National Co-Chair, a role he was elected to in 2023. He has worked as a research policy analyst on military spending, the federal budget, and veterans affairs. In the City Club's tradition of bringing to the forum the leaders shaping the future of the nation and our national conversation on politics and public policy, we invite you to hear directly from Ashik Siddique about what the DSA actually is... and isn't.

I'm breaking down why momentum is not always a good thing. You can be moving, working, checking boxes, and building momentum while actually heading in the wrong direction. I explain why activity can create the illusion of progress, how momentum can keep you committed to bad decisions, and why high performers are willing to pause, reassess, and redirect when necessary. Direction matters more than speed. Show Notes: [05:13]#1 Movement is not the same as progress. [10:40]#2 Momentum can trap you in yesterday's decisions. [17:49]#3 Regular course corrections defeat blind acceleration. [20:38] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2466: The Law Of Inertia Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard.

Parliament opened yesterday with the PM determined to keep his momentum going: a labour reform bill and a major liberalization of project permitting, including for pipelines. What happened to the Trudeau-era Liberals now getting behind Carney's more conservative agenda? Are we witnessing the beginnings of a broader Canadian realignment, with the Liberals making breakthroughs in Saskatchewan and Alberta? And what is the risk of a spring federal election designed to capitalize on Carney's current momentum and secure a large majority?Trump's threats and the trade war have rallied Canadians around the Prime Minister and narrowed the space for criticism of his government. How open are Canadians right now to criticism of Carney's approach? Andrew argues that when a country is facing an external threat, voters are less interested in the usual cut-and-thrust of partisan politics. The problem for Pierre Poilievre is that this is the political style he knows best. For now, his best strategy may be to hunker down, weather the current environment and build a stronger position for the moment when—and if—the bloom comes off the rose for Carney and the Liberals.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.
