Steve, you've got such great experience. You have. It sounds like a great network in terms of supplier relationships. Because of your vast experience with SYMO Global, you've already got so many different contacts in those different countries as we were in a difficult economic period right now. Right. We have inflation that's been going up. Amazon fees continue to go up, right. margins are getting squeezed. And then we have this pending recession on our hands where consumers are starting to pull back on some of the consumer spending. I think we're seeing that. I want to ask what you're seeing from your perspective. And then for our audience that are established brands that want to take it to the next level. What should they be doing? What strategies should they be employing over the next little while?Steve 00:00:55  Gosh, yeah, that's there's a lot in there. And the truth is, like we're already in a recession, right? It doesn't matter what the politicians say.Steve 00:01:04  It matters only what the numbers say. And the numbers are very clear, right? There is a slowdown, not just a slowdown, a reduction of economic output. And that doesn't mean the world's coming to an end. It just means there are some economic, reasonable laws that have to be dealt with. Right. It's like gravity. You can't argue whether gravity exists or not. It's there and you have to deal with it. So, what that means to us is like dealing with, you know, a reducing kind of economy and an increasing level of inflation. This is the ultimate squeeze. Nobody wants to see it, but where it's upon us. So we're we're we approached this from a very disciplined mathematics perspective. Like we especially we look at the balance sheet. It's like what is the biggest thing on the balance sheet we need to manage. And for private label sellers it's all about inventory, right? There's nothing bigger on your balance sheet typically that inventory. You know, maybe you got some cash here and there.Steve 00:02:03  But if you're a growing business, inventory is dominating that balance sheet. And that means that inventory, which, you know, may exist as a single line item on your financials, I don't know. But we get granular. We want to know every line item. We want to know every Asin, every SKU. However you refer to it and we want to know its profitability. We want to know what people are going to do when it comes to crunch time, right. If demand goes down, I'm here's a little insider secret. It's already gone down, right? Yeah. Units sold are already down the the cost or the pricing. In other words, the sell through may be higher, but that's that's a misleading stat. Yeah. Even if sales are up 8%. You got inflation units are down for sure. Correct. It's not in every category but many categories are experiencing it. So we've got to get scrutiny to level ten on every, every line item on that inventory sheet.Josh 00:02:57  Yeah, I think that's words of wisdom right there, because we are also seeing that from our perspective.Josh 00:03:03  You know, a lot of our products are more in the, you know, consumer discretionary items here. And so they're not essential for people. But we have also started to see year over year sales declines in the number of units that are being sold. Now our, you know, top line revenue looks good. Well, that's because we've increased prices to make up for the increase in Amazon fees and inflation and all of that. So to your point like don't just look at you know, hey, this aggregate number amount of money that's being sold or whatever, you know, Washington wants to, you know, state publicly, you know, with, oh, things are just fine. Like, look at these numbers. At the end of the day, there are fewer numbers of fewer units being sold. you know, the consumers are starting to pull back. So, Steve, what is something that you do as you work with, you know, your suppliers? Is there a way that you can reduce, you know, whether it be your Cogs or reduce like your mocks for certain products.Josh 00:04:04  Like how do you navigate this delicate balance of like, I don't know how big of a pullback this is going to be, but I don't want to just I'm not going to order and say, hey, whatever we did in 2021, let's let's do that because that's what's going to happen.Steve 00:04:17  Well, it is it's the ultimate question, but it's it also just goes back to the most simple, basics. It's like, you know what? Every controllable variable you better push on. Right. So currency is wildly shifted year over year between China and the US as an example. You better take advantage of that and at least understand that many times if you try to just call your supplier and go, hey, great news. There's been a 10% shift in currency. That means I get a 10% discount on my products. Now they'll go, no, no, no, we had a cost increase of labor and the cost increase of Covid. You know, there are plenty of reasons they want to they want to fight against you.Steve 00:04:54  but I'm telling you proactively that every point, whether it is the inputs of raw materials and checking those commodity prices, whether it's currency, like every piece of that puzzle you need to push back ...

Comedian and intuitive thought leader Rachel LaForce breaks down the first three of her Six Principles for Momentum - a punchy, practical, and hilarious guide for anyone stuck between “WTF is happening?” annnnd “let's go.” In this episode of Healing is Hilarious, Rachel explores how to assess the gap between what you say you want and how you actually live, why the people you love aren't perfect (and never will be), and the freedom of releasing “the right way.” With her signature mix of comedy, cultural critique, and real-world clarity, Rachel proves that momentum isn't about hustle - it's about alignment, boundaries, and letting go of the bullshit stories that hold you back.SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AND LEAVE A REVIEW! PRODUCED BY Skewed Orbit StudiosIG: instagram.com/healhahapodYOUTUBE: youtube.com/@therachellaforceVISIT: rachellaforce.com

Symptoms Of Moving Without a VisionIn the absence of a clear and shared vision, every team, leader, and individual will fill that gap with their own beliefs, experiences, and expectations. It may appear to be “diversity of opinion,” but in practice, it often results in misalignment. Every strategic conversation becomes a clash of narratives.This fragmentation of understanding is just one of many symptoms of a lack of product vision. Based on my experience leading product teams at Locaweb, Conta Azul, Gympass, and Lopes — and more recently, supporting companies as a product advisor — I've seen how the absence of vision impacts the entire organization.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Hi Loyal Readers. Thank you for opening this week's issue of Article Club.Today's issue is dedicated to a great conversation I had with Piers Gelly, author of this month's featured article, “What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom.” The conversation was triply great because Prof. Gelly, who teaches at the University of Virginia, invited two of his students featured in the essay — Camille Villalobos and Max Goldberg — to join us.The result is a thought-provoking discussion about college students' perspectives on artificial intelligence, particularly when a curious professor engages them genuinely (rather than complaining, banning the use of AI, sticking their head in the sand, and secretly wishing we could turn back time to the Golden Age of Bluebooks).I hope that you'll read the article, listen to the interview, and join our discussion on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom, say hi, and then dive deep into the article. You can sign up below; it'd be great to have you there.I don't want to give too much away, because I want you to listen to the conversation, but I must share what I appreciated most. It was how thoughtfully Cam and Max talked about their experiences taking Prof. Gelly's class, as well as how their points of view on artificial intelligence changed along the way.Not only are Cam and Max brilliant, but what's also abundantly clear is that Prof. Gelly cares deeply about his students. They're at the center of his essay. You'll get a similar sense when you listen to the interview. Rather than making grandiose philosophical conclusions about the state of artificial intelligence in education, Prof. Gelly is curious, vulnerable, and dedicated to listening to his students' views, as well as pushing them.When you engage your students — as Prof. Gelly does — you gain nuance. For example, at the beginning of the class, Cam had been a liberal user of ChatGPT. By the end, she maligned AI as a “crutch” and vowed never to use it again. And her thinking has shifted even more, as you'll hear in the interview.On the other hand, Max did not leave the class with the same perspective as Cam. He sees valid uses for ChatGPT. But his experience shifted his sentiments as well. Here he shares what worries him: I would say the thing that concerns me most is people who use [AI] for everything. And I don't just mean like coursework, but things like planning their schedules and asking it questions and having it do, like, basic, basic problems. I think that people need to be able to do some of that on their own.I hope you enjoy the interview. Once again, huge appreciation to Prof. Gelly, Cam, and Max for generously saying yes to Article Club.An invitation to our discussion on September 28I warmly invite you to participate in our discussion on Sunday, September 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom. You can sign up below, it's free.Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

We all want to live a happy life, so does God, but stuff is holding us back. Just like the Israelites in Exodus, he's taking us to a good place, but we must follow him in order to get there. Getting to a great place in life hinges on our willingness to deal with our issues.

Sometimes, unconditional love can lead us to think we can do no wrong. Today, a story about taking advantage of a grandmother's love. Plus, we hear how one local artist is celebrating the Golden State Valkyries. And, our transportation reporter launches a new series on Bay Area transit.

In today's episode, I spoke with Marian, who in turn spoke on behalf of herself and her husband, Jon. Originally from the Netherlands and now based in New Zealand, they're in the middle of a big transition, preparing to sell their home in the greater Wellington region and move down to Canterbury as they edge closer to semi-retirement. It's a big transition in many ways, but moving location is something this couple have regularly done throughout their lives, and Marian in particular enjoys the whole process of heading off to live in a new house and discover a new area. Today's episode gave me a fascinating insight into growing up and working in the Netherlands, and how and why a couple would want to give all of that up to move to New Zealand. Born savers, these two have always had their eye on their wallet, and that simple habit, of living on less than you make, has certainly been a big part of their success today. But forays into using a financial advisor and investing in rental property didn't serve them well when they tried to take that next step into investing. It was really only when they stepped back and decided to educate themselves and manage their own index fund investments that they got off the side roads and onto the freeway to financial independence. Now, with a move to Te Waipounamu ahead and the ability to step back from full-time work, Marian and Jon are at an exciting stage of life, still aiming to reach their financial goals, but with the freedom to shape what the future looks like.

About this Episode What if everything you know about love is a myth—built on luck, chance, and hope? The truth is, many of us walk into relationships with big dreams of “happily ever after,” only to find that real connection can feel overwhelming, elusive, or even impossible to sustain.

Without a roadmap, couples often end up lost in confusion, miscommunication, and heartbreak. In this episode, you'll discover a fresh, research-backed framework for designing love that actually lasts. You'll learn about the six key ingredients necessary for truly thriving relationships and uncover why love can't survive on feelings alone.

In this powerful PBSE conversation (Episode 298), we respond to a listener who vulnerably asked whether he is staying in his marriage out of love—or out of fear and obligation. Three and a half months into the space between Discovery Day and full therapeutic disclosure, he wonders if he can truly love his wife, or if he is staying simply because of the kids, his reputation, or fear of being alone. Mark and Steve normalize these questions and share how fear-based thinking dominates the early stages of recovery, often leaving addicts panicked, frozen, and driven by “shoulds” instead of authentic desire.We discuss how these questions often reflect growth, not failure. Moving from a “me” mindset to a “we” mindset can feel foreign and terrifying, but it is a critical milestone in recovery. We encourage addicts to avoid “future tripping”—trying to predict where they'll be in five, ten, or twenty years—and instead focus on the next right step. We also reframe the partner's question, “Do you really want me?” as a bid for connection and safety, not a demand for a lifetime guarantee.Ultimately, recovery is about gradually putting down the masks, moving out of obligation, and stepping into authentic choice. Relationships will always involve risk, but we are wired for connection, not disconnection. As addicts and partners commit to healing, they return to their natural state of love, intimacy, and collaboration. There are no guarantees about the future, but by staying present, honest, and connected, couples can rebuild a marriage that is chosen—not just endured.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  As a Recovering Porn & Sex Addict, What is Keeping Me in My Marriage?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

There's power in “seeing the story” of the game as it unfolds. Moving beyond strokes and strategies, in this podcast episode I want to challenge you as a pickleball player to deepen your awareness—recognize mechanics, anticipate play, and diagnose both strengths and flaws.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Twila Mason, author of the book Piece by Piece.  Twila is an award-winning romance author. She has been writing her own stories since she learned how to read. She is a writer of romance, women's fiction, poetry, and short stories. Her work explores raw emotions and the complexities of life while finding the hope within every obstacle.   After obtaining a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology, she switched gears to follow her lifelong dream of putting her fictional stories out into the world. She lives the rural, small-town life in Missouri with her husband, two kids, and menagerie of animals. When she's not reading or writing, Twila can be found crafting, farming, doing home improvement projects, or going on adventures with her family.   In my book review, I stated Piece by Piece is a friends-to-lovers contemporary romance that takes a hard look at the drug culture - and what it does to families. Aria spends her childhood looking after her baby brother, Ben, because her mother simple cannot. As a drug addict, she is often high, always unreliable, and rarely offers motherly support. When her mother spends the rent money, Aria arrives home to find the family is now on the street. She turns to an old friend, Luke, who found a way out of the old neighborhood.   Although there is an immediate spark between them, Luke and Aria dance around the attraction because neither is ready to commit. We get front row seats as we watch them battle their demons and navigate a new world where peace, hope, and love have a chance to exist. As completely foreign concepts, neither one really knows what to do when life isn't a battlefield.   That's not to say everything is easy. Moving past trauma and finding the right path is not easy. Nor is forgiveness - of others or of self. And what to do when the ones you should love are the ones that keep hurting you?   This story is sweet as two young people fall in love. But it is also edgy as we see what happens when drugs and alcohol cause childhood trauma and can easily create a family cycle of abuse.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Twila Mason Website: https://www.twilamason.com FB:@twilamasonauthor IG: @twilamason_author X: @twilamasona LinkedIn: @twila-mason-phd-3b824330   Purchase Piece by Piece on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4lhAvHY Ebook: https://amzn.to/4kq9XDg   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In this episode, I sit down with Ofer Klein to dig into the messy truth about #ai governance, “shadow AI,” and why most CISOs are already behind the curve. We're talking about the reality that AI isn't just a shiny new tool — it's a #cybersecurity #threat vector, a compliance nightmare, and the next accelerant for both attackers and defenders.If your organization thinks it can “wait and see,” you've already lost. Visibility, governance, and proactive strategy aren't optional anymore — they're survival.Tune in and find out why AI will either accelerate your business or dismantle it — and why your security leadership better decide which side of that equation they're on.

Blood cancer patients are being forced to move to Australia to access life prolonging drugs that are not funded in Aotearoa. Daratumumab, or dara, can help prolong the lives of people with the blood cancer myeloma but costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, while it is virtually free in Australia.

In this episode of The Awakening Process 101 Podcast, Louise Juel and I open up the conversation around radical forgiveness—what it really means in our daily lives, why it matters, and how it can shift the way we relate to ourselves and others. Together we share stories from our own lives—marriage, family, recovery, and spiritual practice—and explore forgiveness not as a one-time event but as an ongoing process of softening, releasing, and allowing. We look honestly at the patterns of pride, fear, and codependency that keep us stuck, and how forgiveness becomes a way of life rather than something we check off a list. This episode also includes a short meditation, offering space to pause, breathe, and experience what it feels like to let go and return to freedom.(0:00) Introduction to radical forgiveness(2:15) What forgiveness really means in daily life(6:40) Stories of forgiveness in relationships and family(12:05) Pride, fear, and the roots of resentment(17:20) Codependency and the challenge of letting go(23:00) Forgiveness as a spiritual practice(28:15) How AA and the 12 steps shaped our view of forgiveness(33:40) Moving from blame to compassion(39:10) Forgiveness as a way of life(44:00) Guided meditation on softening and release(51:20) Closing reflections and takeaways

Send us a textA penetrating examination of what truly constitutes idolatry in the modern Christian's life takes center stage in our continuing exposition of Galatians 5. Moving beyond simplistic views of wooden statues and pagan rituals, we uncover the subtle yet dangerous ways idolatry infiltrates our daily existence."Anything that turns your heart from God is an idol," emerges as the powerful truth threading through our conversation. The panel shares remarkable personal stories—from wrestling with witchcraft in marriage to watching a loved one make pregnancy and motherhood an idol—revealing the contemporary battlegrounds where Christians unknowingly surrender their primary devotion.What makes this discussion particularly compelling is its relevance to every believer. We explore how even good things—spouses, children, careers, church activities—can become spiritual competitors to God when improperly prioritized. Social media receives special scrutiny as a modern platform that encourages self-worship and obsession with metrics like followers, views, and monetization.The distinction between religious sins (idolatry, witchcraft) and social sins (hatred, variance, emulations) provides a helpful framework for understanding how the works of the flesh operate in different dimensions of our lives. Most provocatively, we consider how professing Christians can simultaneously hold their Bibles while worshiping false gods—often gods of their own making that align with personal preferences rather than biblical truth."God will not share His throne with anyone or any idea," stands as the clarion call of this episode. We invite you to join us in honest self-examination: calculate what receives your time, attention, and emotional energy, and you'll quickly discover what you truly worship. The remedy isn't necessarily abandoning everything you love, but reordering your loves properly with God at the center of all.Listen, reflect, and consider: what might be stealing your devotion from the only One worthy of worship?The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.
