Fritz Folts, chief investment strategist at 3Edge Asset Management. says the uncertainty about tariff policy — which has pushed uncertainty over interest-rate and monetary policies nearly out of sight — has made it particularly hard for investors to decide where to go with their money now. While the hard economic data is good, Folts notes that the concern is how quickly it may change once tariff chaos hits consumer prices; the result is that he's splitting his equity assets 50-50 between domestic and international stocks, and is looking at short-duration bonds and gold to hedge the stock exposure. Selma Hepp, chief economist at Cotality, discusses the latest National Association for Business Economics Business Conditions Survey, released today, which shows that economists' share Folts' concern about the coming months, with 75 percent of the survey respondents putting the probability of a recession in the next year at 25 percent. Just 15 percent of economists were that strong on recession chances in January. Plus David Trainer, president of New Constructs, puts a digital payment technology company in the Danger Zone for the third time, and Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin, discusses her new book, “Hate the Game: Economic Cheat Codes for Life, Love and Work.”

This week's Open Mic guest is Chandler Goule, CEO of the National Association of Wheat Growers. The budget reconciliation debate introduced much needed changes to farm programs that many agriculture groups have hoped for, but Goule says there are many needed provisions that were orphaned in the reconciliation process and need to be addressed. Like others, Goule is concerned about the consequences of U.S. tariffs and retaliation by other countries. He is also concerned about keeping wheat acres competitive with other crops so acres don't continue to fall.

April 24th marks the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. I grew up in the 1950s in New York in the shadow of that tragedy. I was surrounded by survivors named Garabedian, Giragosian, Hagopian and others who always spoke fondly of “yergeer,” the country they were forced to abandon. My mother, Araxie, was from Dubneh, a village near Diyarbakir, and my father, Bedros, was from Nbishi, a village near Palu in what is now Eastern Turkey. Their memories, and those of others from the “old” country, filled my ears as did their tales of how they escaped death and got to America. I'd listened to their stories in Armenian, not understanding everything, but knowing for them, “yergeer” was a special place. It was home. Houshamadyan are precious memory books of a millennial-old civilization virtually lost but not forgotten. Recorded at the National Association of Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR).

May is Mental Health Month. Ben Jarboe finds out what the Farm Credit System is doing to make resources available for farmers and their families. Christy Seyfert, the President and CEO of the Farm Credit Council in Washington D.C. tells him they recognize the unique struggles that farmers and their families may be facing. Yes, there is a chance of rain in the forecast. Pretty good timing considering all the acres that have already been planted in Wisconsin. Stu Muck shares the outlook. Weather is an important issue everyday in Wisconsin. From what you wear, to where you plant - it's part of the conversation. Now Wisconsinites have access to a newly enhanced network of weather stations that dot the state. Pam Jahnke takes a trip to Arlington to find out about the expansion of the Wisconet with Chris Vagasky, UW Meteorologist that's helping assemble the network. Meanwhile eyes continue to focus on potential cuts to programs and personnel that farms may depend on. Stephanie Hoff gets the perspective of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. NASDA, advocates for state ag agencies in Washington D.C. One of the things it's pushing for in Congress is for states to get more support to tackle animal disease outbreaks and carry out prevention measures. A primary example is testing milk for highly pathogenic avian influenza, says Becky Garrison Warfel, director of public policy for NASDA. Markets have cooled since the announcement that China and U.S. were relaxing tariffs. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend talks with Pam Jahnke about where traders' attention is focused today. Monday gave us the first glimpse of what farmers will be planting in the World Ag Supply Demand Estimates (WASDE). Heinberg says that was the real driver on where corn and beans went Monday, and where cattle could be going this week!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of the podcast Razib talks to John Sailer. Sailer is currently the director of higher education policy and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. He covers issues of academic freedom, free speech, and ideological capture in higher education. Sailer has written for the Wall Street Journal, the Free Press and Tablet Magazine. Sailer holds a master's degree in philosophy and education from Columbia University, and a bachelor's degree in politics, philosophy, and economics from The King's College. Prior to joining the Manhattan Institute, he was a senior fellow at the National Association of Scholars. Following on last week's podcast with Jacob Shell, Razib continues to discuss the rise and fall of woke politics in academia, and the current backlash exploding out of the Trump administration. Sailer discusses his previous work back to 2020 showing how blatant universities became in their discriminatory policies against white males in particular, and how easy it was to demonstrate this dynamic with even the most minimal level of due diligence like freedom of information requests. They also discuss the reality that universities are attempting to adjust to a new landscape with the administration pressuring them to revoke DEI policies, while many faculty are urging that they instead dig in their heels. Higher education is adapting, but Sailer argues that since fundamental values have not changed, some evasion is to be expected.

If you think that your only hope for treating overactive bladder is to focus on your pelvic floor muscles, you may be overlooking a different type of approach that's been proven successful for hundreds of thousands of patients: Nerve stimulation. It turns out that certain nerves play a critical role in bladder function, and there are devices that can stimulate those nerves to substantially reduce leaks. Many patients find that their symptoms improve by 50% or more with a simple, in-office procedure called sacral neuromodulation. Today's guest is Dr. Vikas Desai, a urologist, a board-certified member of the American Urologic Association and a member of the Society of Prosthetic Urologic Surgeons, to tell us more about it. To learn more from Dr. Desai about bladder health, visit his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@DesaiUro.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/For over 35 years, Tranquility Products has provided real-life protection for people with incontinence.

Elise has served in various roles in Emergent Bilingual education, including co-teaching, instructional coaching, writing curriculum, and offering professional development to Texas schools. As a consultant for Seidlitz Education, Elise enjoys supporting teachers in their important work of building language and connection across cultures and obstacles.

How do you know when it's time to transition your business—or even your life? In this episode, Nicole Packin shares her incredible journey through selling two successful pet care businesses, moving across the country, and preparing for her next adventure. She opens up about the emotional and practical challenges of letting go, creating healthy boundaries, and finding new passions after nearly two decades in the industry. She discusses the evolving pet care landscape, the pressure entrepreneurs put on themselves, and the importance of taking space to breathe and reflect. Whether you're thinking about selling your business, refining your services, or simply looking to reclaim your time, Nicole's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Main topics: Selling and transitioning businesses Work-life balance and boundaries Evolving pet care industry Marketing dog walking services Personal growth through change Main takeaway: “I think sometimes when we work in our passion, you can lose that excitement—and every business owner, every athlete, every musician, every actor, anybody that has a passion, that happens.” That quote from Nicole Packin really hit home for us. When you build a business around something you love—like pet care—it's easy for that passion to become work, and for that work to consume every part of your life. It starts innocently enough: you say yes to every client, answer every late-night text, and spend your weekends planning the next big thing. Before you know it, the excitement that once got you out of bed starts to feel like a weight you're carrying around. That's why stepping back on purpose isn't quitting—it's resetting. Sometimes, you need space to breathe, to reconnect with why you started in the first place, and to remember that you are more than your business. Nicole's story is a powerful reminder that taking a break doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human—and it could be the first step toward falling in love with your work all over again. ✨ If you've ever felt like you've lost your spark, this episode is for you. Listen to our conversation with Nicole Packin on Pet Sitter Confessional wherever you get your podcasts. About our guest: Nicole Packin is a seasoned entrepreneur and industry innovator with over 18 years of experience in pet care. She founded Miami Pet Concierge, a full-service pet care company, before launching The Packin Method, a mobile dog fitness service in Dallas. Nicole's passion for canine health and wellness led her to develop unique services focused on physical fitness for pets. After successfully selling both businesses, she is now launching Healthy Hounds Fitness Club in Colorado, combining her love for adventure and pet wellness. Nicole's expertise spans pet sitting, dog walking, canine massage, and fitness training, and she is a sought-after voice in the pet care community.

How can sociology reclaim its commitment to rigorous inquiry and viewpoint diversity? Today, John Tomasi sits with Jukka Savolainen, Ph.D., Sociology professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and the moderator of the Heterodox Academy's Sociology community.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Charles H.F. Davis III about the increasingly repressive conditions on university campuses, particularly in the context of Columbia University's caving in to federal pressures under the thumb of Trump's administration. We explore the broader implications of these concessions at the expense of liberalized notions of intellectual and academic freedom, student activism, and the role of universities as sites of political struggle. Dr. Davis highlights the historical and ongoing repression of student activism, particularly pro-Palestinian movements, and critiques the legal and institutional frameworks that perpetuate these violences. We also delve into the limitations of liberalism in fending off fascist infringement and the active participation of universities in maintaining these structures of domination. We also touch on the historical collaboration between Zionist organizations and U.S. universities, the erosion of diversity and inclusion initiatives, and the broader implications for the future of higher education. Dr. Charles H.F. Davis III is a third-generation educator, organizer, and artist. He is a faculty member in the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education and director of the Campus Abolition Research Lab at the University of Michigan. His research and teaching broadly explore the racialized consequences of higher education on society, including the role of colleges and universities in limiting the life-making possibilities of Black and other racialized communities.

There has been a fundamental shift in understanding metabolic health and chronic disease, particularly Type 2 diabetes, challenging long-standing dietary dogma by emphasizing that insulin resistance is largely driven by overconsumption of refined carbohydrates, not dietary fat or red meat. While highlighting the success of carbohydrate restriction and ketogenic approaches, nutrition is being seen as a powerful tool for reversing diabetes—often more effective and sustainable than conventional medication. The implications are far-reaching, not only for individual health outcomes, but also for reshaping public health strategies in addressing today's chronic disease epidemic. In this episode, I speak with Gary Taubes, Sami Inkinen, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty about an approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes that works. I also discuss how red meat is not to blame, but we should be looking at high sugar and starch diets. Gary Taubes is an award-winning science and health journalist, and co-founder and director of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI). He is the author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat, Good Calories, Bad Calories, and, most recently, The Case for Keto. Gary is a former staff writer for Discover and correspondent for Science. He has written three cover articles on nutrition and health for The New York Times Magazine, and his writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, Esquire, and numerous "best of" anthologies, including The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010). He has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers, and is also the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. He lives in Oakland, CA. Sami Inkinen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Virta Health, a pioneer in reversing diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes through a nutrition-first approach. Sami's personal connection to diabetes and passion to advance global health was the motivation behind Virta and its innovative care model. Previously, Inkinen was the co-founder of the leading online real estate marketplace Trulia, serving as its COO and president and board member until its IPO and eventual sale to Zillow Group. Dr. Greeshma Shetty, board certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, currently serves as a Lead Clinician in the Virta Medical Group and the Director of Quality and Safety at Virta Health. Prior to joining Virta, she was clinical physician educator at Harvard Medical School, where she directed the combined Joslin - Beth Israel Deaconess Endocrine Fellowship program and Co-Directed the Asian American Diabetes Initiative. She is dedicated to clinical excellence, leveraging health technology, transforming healthcare delivery, driving health equity and building high performing teams.
