Click Here to Get All Podcast Show Notes!Everyone wants to be rich, but most people don't know that the habits of the wealthy are often very different from what society expects. In this episode, Sharran breaks down the five core actions and mindsets that set the rich apart. For example, rich people understand that every decision comes with a cost, and they make those decisions with full awareness of what's at stake.They aren't concerned with impressing others. It's not about flaunting wealth; it's about building wealth through sound decisions and actions. Plus, they fix problems through behavior changes, not just apologies, and they consistently try again even after failure. Finally, rich people give the greatest gift: their full attention. Learn these simple yet powerful habits anyone can start implementing today.“Rich people understand trade-offs. The one thing rich people understand is that every choice costs something.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:01:38 - Understanding trade-offs: Every decision comes with a cost03:12 - Stop trying to impress others: Focus on building wealth04:53 - Fix problems through behavioral changes, not apologies06:21 - Keep going: The power of trying one more time07:55 - Giving attention: How attention builds influence and wealth09:40 - Recap: What rich people do naturallyResources:- The Next Billion by Sharran Srivatsaa - https://sharransrivatsaa.substack.com/- Acquisition.com - https://www.acquisition.com/- Board Member: ARC Multifamily Real Estate Investing - https://arcmf.com/- Board Member: The Real Brokerage - https://www.joinreal.com/Connect with Sharran:- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/- X - https://x.com/sharran- LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharran- YouTube -

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Now, in everyday spoken American English, we often connect vowel sounds with a very small, quick W sound. I call this the tiny W. The tiny W happens when when one word ends with an “oo” sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound. Like, do it. We don't stop the sound, and in one breath we say, doo-wit. It's not do it, it's doo-wit. I'm gonna doo-wit tomorrow. Did you hear the tiny w? I'm gonna doo-wit tomorrow. Here are some other examples: You are sounds like yoo-wahr. Yoo-wahr a nice person. Who else sounds like hoo-welse. Hoo-welse is coming to the party?To ask sounds like too-wask. You need too-wask the boss.Be sure to practice these phrases yourself this week and they will become part of your English. And remember to follow and subscribe so you won't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next Sunday's Speak Naturally in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening!

Over 80,000 (and counting) businesses have paid me for marketing advice. And for most of them, one of the biggest "sticking points" is the copy. But not what you think. The hardest part isn't writing the words. It's finding the Hook. The Big Idea. The Angle. Once you have that, the rest is easy. But finding it usually takes forever. So today, I'm going to show you how to use AI to find a multi-million dollar hook... in less than 3 minutes. And we're going to do it without typing a single prompt. We're going to take a random transcript of an Alex Hormozi interview and write a sales letter that sells it. (We're using Hormozi's video as an example. Naturally we're not actually going to sell my man's stuff.) Anyway, here's how we'll use AI to find the $22MM hook ...and then turn it into a sales letter: Step 1: "Brain Dump" Method. This is where you tell AI what you want it to do ...and you give it a bunch of info about whatever it is you're trying to sell. This part is important so be sure to watch it. Most people over-complicate it. Step 2: Finding the hook. We use AI to find all the cool selling points for the thing we want to sell ...and then we use it to do a little research and find the actual $22MM hook itself. (It centers around one single word. This part is super cool.) Step 3: Turning the hook into a sales letter. We turn that one hook into a full long-form sales letter in seconds. But that's not the cool part. The cool part is when we use AI to turn the first draft into a hard core "Pro Level" sales letter without even typing a single word. If your AI copy sounds like ...you know ...AI, this video shows you how to fix that.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Aura Frames. Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DECK // Promo Code: DECK---Jacks joins us this week to break down the next two episodes of the Hallmark Channel Christmas show, Twelve Dates 'Til Christmas.ABOUT: TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4)Episode 3: Kate confronts past dating patterns after she matches with someone she ghosted; Mac and Evelyn roadtrip to Brighton; Callum holds a pop-up at the Pear Tree.Episode 4: Kate's mother, Delilah, shows up for a holiday visit, throwing Mac and Kate for a loop; history repeating itself causes Callum and Kate to remember their past.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4)December 12, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery ChannelCAST & CREW OF: TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4)Mae Whitman as KateJulian Morris as CallumJane Seymour as EvelynNathaniel Parker as MacBRAN'S TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4) SYNOPSISKate is at the coffee shop the next morning, lost in thought about Richard. Laura shows up and immediately asks for the latest. Kate hands her the phone, and Laura sees that Kate still hasn't responded to his text. Laura calls her out — she can't do to Richard what she's done to other guys. Text him back. Kate finally does, but she decides she's still going to keep moving forward with the 12 Dates.The next date is with Liam, a guy she dated a few years ago — and apparently ghosted. Naturally, the date is an escape room, because nothing says closure like being trapped together. They end up working well as a team, make up, and the sparks start to fly. After they escape, Kate asks him to grab coffee the next morning.Later, she stops by the shop to help Calum bake for the upcoming event, since Sarah is too busy to show up — even though the whole thing was her idea.Meanwhile, Kate's dad goes on a mysterious outing with Evelyn. They stop at a bar, where Evelyn opens up about her past. Eventually, they end up at a cliff and literally scream their grief into the void. Healing!The next day, Kate is feeling overwhelmed juggling two potential suitors. She even accidentally sends a text meant for Liam to Richard. What a mess.But when she shows up for coffee with Liam, he ghosts her — and then texts her to say he “wins.” Cool guy behavior.Back at the shop, Sarah brings in a potential investor for Calum's posh pies. Calum immediately hates both the guy and his ideas. He kicks the investor out… then kicks everyone else out too — and ends up breaking up with Sarah. When Kate finds out, she assumes it's because Sarah told him about his ex, which opens up a whole emotional can of worms Kate was not prepared for.It's time for the next date: salsa dancing. Kate attacks it aggressively. But wouldn't you know it — Richard shows up. They ditch the event, wander around the city together, and eventually end up at Kate's place, where they kiss… only to be interrupted by her mom, Delilah, showing up unannounced. Total buzzkill.Kate wants nothing to do with her mom. When she goes to see Mac, he's also not interested in dealing with Delilah — but Kate follows him to book club anyway, where Evelyn gets a little jealous seeing her there.Laura discovers that the 12 Dates needs a venue for the final event and suggests Calum's shop. Calum is not thrilled with this idea.Meanwhile, Kate's mom keeps trying to spend time with her and Mac, which Kate resists. It stirs up a lot of old memories — her first Christmas without her mom, and the Christmas after Calum's mom died, when Kate was there for him.Eventually, Calum agrees to host the party at the shop. That night, he and Kate hang out while she tries to play wingwoman for him. When her mom shows up again, Calum encourages Kate not to push her away. Kate finally talks to her mom and promises they'll spend more time together at home.Later, Kate goes back to Calum and starts listing all the reasons he'd be a great catch — including that he's a good kisser. This triggers a memory from their childhood: them kissing, Calum telling her he loved her, Kate panicking and running inside… then coming back out to see him kissing another girl.Back in the present, Calum tells her that kissing her was never a joke to him.And then he kisses her again.

In this episode, we sit down with the purest of intentions and immediately derail into absolutely everything. We start by catching up on our week, which somehow includes community theater, a Christmas carol, and the realization that small-town productions carry higher emotional stakes than most blockbuster movies. From there, we naturally move into a very serious and completely authoritative discussion about orcs, goblins, and why fantasy creatures seem to have better branding than actual humans. Christmas movies also come under fire, especially the question no one wants to ask out loud: what exactly were the stakes in Home Alone, and why did an entire generation decide booby traps were a reasonable life skill? Somewhere between confessing our household maintenance failures and acknowledging projects that will never be finished, we introduce “the brick,” a digital detox tool designed to help us stop staring at our phones like they personally wronged us. That opens the door to a broader conversation about distractions, modern communication, and why texting feels emotionally hollow unless it’s padded with an irresponsible number of exclamation points. Naturally, this all slides into conspiracy territory. We explore the mysterious Tartarian civilization, debate the moon landing with just enough confidence to be alarming, and talk about how AI is quietly shaping what we believe, what we doubt, and what keeps showing up in everyone’s feed. Accents and cultural stereotypes make an appearance too, not because we planned it, but because they tend to sneak into conversations whether invited or not. By the end, we’ve questioned reality, Christmas, technology, history, and whether or not it's reasonable to use a single emoji as a response to every situation.

This week, Brandi checks in from her studio at Momma Tish's house, fresh off a Vegas gig where she opened for Diplo and survived every DJ's worst nightmare — the music LITERALLY shut off. HTF? WTF? Thankfully the crowd stayed hyped and an extended “Old Town Road” saved everything. Meanwhile, Wells reports on Santa visiting his country club in peak LA fashion, literally landing a helicopter in the middle of the fairway (touché, Santa). Naturally, this leads to a spirited drinks debate: old fashioned's vs. sugar cookie lattes — which one delivers the worse hangover?Elsewhere, ChatGPT steps in to explain what “9 to 5” actually means (wrong again, TikTok!) and why meteorologists aren't called “weatherologists” which actually feels like a way better option. Audible Originals have officially hijacked Wells' brain, and the episode ends on the eternal holiday question: can you still say “Merry Christmas” without offending anyone? We're not sure, so Happy Holidays to you and yours, YFT fam!

As choir directors prepare a joint Christmas-Hanukkah service, old rivals Nikki and Jake must overcome their competition to unite their communities through song.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR OY TO THE WORLD!December 14 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF OY TO THE WORLD!Brooke D'Orsay as NikkiJake Epstein as JakeBRAN'S OY TO THE WORLD! SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off in high school with two rival singers, Nikki and Jake. They're always trying to outdo each other. But when Nikki goes up to sing, her voice cracks — totally embarrassing.Cut to the present day. Nikki is helping her dad at his church and working as the choir director, while Jake works at a music shop. His family's synagogue is right across the street from her family's church, and despite the rivalry, the families are friendly with each other.We learn that the synagogue is really struggling. The heat isn't working and, to make matters worse, a pipe bursts. When Jake finds out that his grandma slipped on the water while checking on the damage, he rushes home from the city. With Hanukkah starting in two days, no one knows what they're going to do.Jake goes to inspect the damage and spots Nikki across the street. He heads over, and the two immediately start bickering — clearly, nothing has changed.The church offers to let the synagogue use its space. Jake agrees to help with his dad's kids' choir, while Nikki helps with her dad's choir. Naturally, they turn everything into a competition, just like when they were kids. They get so competitive that the kids stop having fun and many quit altogether.They're encouraged to join forces and form one “super choir” for a joint service. As they start spending more time together, sparks fly. Jake helps Nikki work through her fear of singing in public, and they almost kiss — until he's interrupted by a phone call. His band's music is really taking off in the city.Soon after, Jake learns that a record label wants to meet with him. He has to go, even though it means missing the big performance. At first, Nikki asks him not to leave because she's nervous about singing again, but she ultimately encourages him to go. It's his dream.At the performance, Nikki's voice cracks at first — but she powers through. Just when it matters most, Jake shows up, and they sing together.Afterward, Jake tells her the meeting was brief: the label wants to sign them and send them on tour. But he's worked out a plan so he won't be gone for long stretches — he'll move back home and commute to the city for recording.They finally kiss.

There are many podcasts popping up in bonsai but recently Mirai became aware of one in particular whose host brought a different level to the game of bonsai discussion. The Bonsai Builders Podcast is the brainchild of bonsai addict and passionate practitioner Addison Galambos. Through Addison's innate curiosity, contemplative wit, and thorough preparation, we found Bonsai Builders to be something new, something different, and something more in depth. Naturally, when Addison approached Mirai to do a deep dive on bonsai culture, aesthetics, judging, and other tasty subject matter, it was tough to turn down. Mirai x Bonsai Builders are releasing part 1 of our conversation in collaboration on both platforms. We dig deep into trees mirroring people, culture clashes in design, and how judging can make or break a show. However, to hear part 2 of our conversation, and easily the best part of the discussion, head over to the Bonsai Builders podcast here. Give Bonsai Builders a like and subscribe, listen to the rest of Ryan's conversation with Addison, and send the Builders some love to help an up-and-coming talent continue to grow. Each time we talk about complex subject matter we tease out new themes and evolve our understanding. We are confident this conversation is a major step in the continued journey to uncovering the depth and power of bonsai as an art form. Enjoy!

Small bomb dropped when indie darling Larian revealed it uses AI in the preproduction and ideation phase of game development. Naturally, opinions deviate strongly, especially because artists have left Larian over their use of AI. In this episode, we discuss Jason Schreier's Bloomberg interview with Larian CEO Swen Vincke. Specifically, we discuss Vincke's quote about how Larian uses AI, and what, if any positive effect it has had. For the full context and a great read - check out the full article here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-12-16/-baldur-s-gate-3-maker-promises-divinity-will-be-next-level It is no secret that neither of us are fans of AI, but I take the devil's advocate position this episode. I do actually think there are spots where AI could help creatives with busy work. (Our problem is: we all know that isn't what AI is targeting.)

In a lively episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Carl Knoblock, Virginia District Director of the Small Business Administration, for a candid discussion about artificial intelligence (AI) and its growing influence on small businesses. Meeting at the bustling Espresso Bar in downtown Winchester, the two dive into the realities, misconceptions, and opportunities that AI presents for entrepreneurs. Demystifying AI: More Than Just Buzzwords Janet opens the conversation by asking Carl to break down AI in simple terms. Carl draws a parallel between traditional business record-keeping and modern AI, explaining that while businesses once relied on handwritten logs, today's AI systems gather and analyze vast amounts of data from the internet. However, he cautions that AI is still in its infancy—capable of collecting information but not yet adept at discerning relevance or context. As Carl puts it, "AI is just grabbing anything, like kids in a store." The Human Touch: Training and Taming AI Transitioning from theory to practice, Janet and Carl discuss the importance of human involvement in shaping AI outputs. Janet likens training AI to raising a toddler: the more you interact and correct it, the more it adapts to your style and needs. Both agree that while AI can automate tasks and provide insights, it requires ongoing supervision and fine-tuning to ensure accuracy and authenticity. "If you have great data, you're okay. If you have poor data, you're going to have to build it," Carl notes, emphasizing the need for quality input. Practical Applications: From Forecasting to Customer Service The conversation shifts to practical uses of AI for small businesses. Janet highlights how AI can streamline market research, identify customer preferences, and even generate strategic plans—tasks that once required hours of manual effort. Carl adds that AI can help businesses analyze sales data, manage inventory, and forecast trends, allowing owners to make informed decisions. However, they caution against over-reliance on AI, stressing the importance of human oversight, especially when interpreting nuanced data or handling customer interactions. Addressing Fears: Will AI Replace Human Jobs? Naturally, the discussion turns to the fear that AI will eliminate jobs. Carl draws historical comparisons to the rise of automation in manufacturing, pointing out that while machines can handle repetitive tasks, they cannot replicate human creativity, problem-solving, or empathy. Janet echoes this sentiment, noting that AI excels at logic but falls short in situations requiring intuition or emotional intelligence. Both agree that rather than replacing humans, AI will shift the nature of work, creating new opportunities for those willing to adapt. The Limits of Automation: Why People Still Matter Janet and Carl explore scenarios where AI falls short—such as handling sensitive customer service issues or adapting to unique, real-world challenges. They recount stories of businesses losing customers due to impersonal AI-driven support systems and highlight the value of empathy during life events like bereavement. "Companies don't even think about the human side," Carl observes, urging businesses to integrate compassion into their processes. Looking Ahead: Embracing Change with Confidence As the conversation draws to a close, Janet asks Carl for advice to small business owners just beginning to experiment with AI. Carl recommends starting with forecasting and data analysis, leveraging existing information to make better decisions. He encourages business owners to seek help from tech-savvy students or professionals and to remain open to learning and adaptation. Janet concludes by emphasizing the importance of implementation—reminding listeners that while AI can provide valuable insights, it's up to humans to put those ideas into action. Conclusion: The Future is Collaborative Ultimately, Janet and Carl agree that AI is a powerful tool, but its true value emerges when paired with human judgment, creativity, and empathy. As technology continues to evolve, small businesses that embrace both innovation and the human touch will be best positioned to thrive in an ever-changing landscape.
On this episode of the Nonsense Podcast, we kick things off with another wild Kelly Fact, learning that Iceland skips Santa Claus entirely and instead unleashes the Yule Lads — 13 mischievous trolls who reward good kids with gifts and bad kids with rotten potatoes. Naturally, FNBob immediately fires off a short joke aimed at Henvincible, while Henvincible argues the Yule Lads sound like an elite metal band name.From there, the boys spiral into fast food frustration, with FNBob accusing Burger King of microwaving meals and declaring warm Frosties at Wendy's a crime against humanity. Things get even worse when Henvincible learns that Breyers isn't legally ice cream anymore, setting the tone for a rough week recap.Henvincible unloads about slipping on Chicago ice, injuring his knee, losing his wallet, and barely surviving winter driving, while FNBob tries to play tech support by suggesting tracking wallets and going digital with cards.Then it's time for the big topic of the week — John Cena's retirement. Henvincible reflects on Cena's highs and lows and questions whether his final run lived up to his legendary status. FNBob shares a surprising shift in perspective after talking to fans across different generations, despite never being a true Cena guy.The wrestling talk keeps rolling with debates on Kurt Angle, Bret Hart (who FNBob openly hates), and the ultimate ridiculous question: Hurricane or Shark Boy? FNBob struggles mightily to answer. The episode wraps with some love for Naruto games, because of course it does.
Inflammation doesn't always look like pain or swelling. For many people, it builds quietly over time and shows up as symptoms that are often ignored or brushed off, such as fatigue, brain fog, bloating, skin breakouts, mood changes, or feeling puffy in the morning. In this episode, we explore why inflammation is not the enemy but a signal. We break down the underlying patterns that drive inflammation and explain how symptoms that seem unrelated are often connected beneath the surface. We focus on healing, walking through, step by step, how inflammation can be calmed by restoring balance and supporting the body in the right way. Tune in to hear: Why most people are inflamed without realising it (01:46) How inflammation really shows up and the symptoms people miss (01:58) Client case study: uncovering the root issue (02:28) Key drivers of inflammation (03:10) Steps to calm inflammation and restore balance (07:45) Head to www.paulabenedi.com/episode398 for the show notes Join our newsletter: www.synergised.info/newsletter Follow Synergised on Instagram: @synergiseduk Follow Paula on Instagram: @paulabenedi .

Our most requested guest is finally back for Season 6 — Nanny returns to the “broadcast” (as she calls it). She tells a story that, unsurprisingly, turns inappropriate, shares her thoughts on sex before marriage, confesses she's been storing lingerie in her storage room and is considering putting it to use, and reveals just how far she'd go with Richard Gere. Naturally, Stacey and Kayla pull a prank... and Nanny does not take it well.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ahoy ahoy! We've moved forward to step back (in time) as we reach, at long last, the final supplement for Changeling: the Lost's first edition, Victorian Lost. This short-ish volume nevertheless packs in the information as the one historical book for the line, although we will get some shorter bits in the Dark Eras sequence coming up soon. Victorian Lost is also one of the earliest books in the Onyx Path canon, as the success of Vampire's 20th Anniversary Edition showed there was still enough of an appetite for World of Darkness material to keep the books coming. It seems fitting to wrap up one era and begin another, transitioning between editions, as we come to the end of the year and Season Four. This will be the last full-length episode before Interregnum, so we hope it is much to your anarchic and anachronistic tastes. Naturally, the book is available for purchase through the usual channel at https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/102468?affiliate_id=3063731.

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Sometimes, in everyday spoken American English, we use stress, to show meaning. That means saying certain words louder or stronger to give emphasis in a sentence. A great example of this is when we use do or did for emphasis. When we really want to strongly confirm something, we put the stress on do or did. Like if someone says, how come you didn't finish that report? You can say “I did finish the report.” And I sent it to you.Or if you got a bad grade on an exam, and someone accuses you of not studying. You can tell them, “I did study. That was just a really tough exam”Or maybe someone has the wrong idea about you. Like if your friend says, “we can't go to that new sushi place, because Michael doesn't like sushi. You can say, “I do like sushi.”When you use do or did this way, the meaning becomes stronger and clearer. That's how native speakers show emphasis. So next time you want to correct someone or strongly confirm something, try saying things like, “I did do it.” OR “I do wanna do it.” That's the music of natural American English.Hey, thanks for listening! And remember to follow and subscribe so you won't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next Sunday's Speak Naturally in a Minute.

This week on Chins and Giggles, the girls are unhinged in the best way. Karina casually drops that she's doing a water fast, which immediately spirals into chaos, concern, and the very real question of whether this is wellness… or a much needed reset. Then things get REAL real as the girls dive into heavy periods because yeah, girl struggles, and nothing is off-limits on this podcast. Mayra then flexes on everyone with her Christmas party that's so chic, so curated, so powerful it's honestly giving Kris Jenner holiday empire energy. Naturally, this leads to the scare of the week: Is Karina pregnant??? Grab your drink because you're in for a story time!!

So many women hit midlife and suddenly find themselves whispering about things they never thought they'd struggle with, like desire, dryness, disconnection, or feeling like a stranger in their own body. That quiet discomfort adds up, and it can take a real toll on intimacy and self-confidence. In this episode, we start talking about what's actually going on with your hormones, your libido, and your relationships, so you can finally get clarity instead of guessing. Gabriella Espinosa, a Menopause Advocate, Women's Health and Sexual Wellness Coach, and Host of Pleasure in the Pause, joins me and immediately brings this grounded mix of wisdom, humor, and real-life experience. She opens up about her own perimenopause journey and why understanding your anatomy, pleasure points, and changing hormones is a total game-changer. We talk about how to speak up with your partner and your doctor in a way that feels honest and not awkward. You'll hear simple, practical ways to reconnect with your body, rebuild desire, and shift the narrative around menopause from "something to survive" into something that actually expands your confidence. Gabriella shares how this stage of life can sharpen your wisdom, deepen your pleasure, and even make you feel sexier than you expected.

Most people blame posture for their neck and shoulder pain, but research shows the real root cause is often hormones, not mechanics. In this episode, Ben explains how cortisol, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, insulin, and even growth hormone can lock your muscles into chronic tension and why most doctors miss these connections. You'll learn how stress hormones alter pain pathways, increase inflammation, and create tight traps, stiff necks, and burning shoulders. Ben breaks down a simple daily Cortisol Calm Protocol using breathwork, post-meal walking, a no-stimulation hour, and gratitude to quickly shift your body out of fight-or-flight. He then exposes the deep link between an underactive thyroid and muscle aches, frozen shoulder, fatigue, and chronic stiffness — plus which full thyroid panel to request from your doctor (not just TSH). Next, he explains why women 40–60 experience sharp increases in joint pain during perimenopause and menopause due to changes in estrogen that affect lubrication, cartilage, strength, and inflammation. You'll also hear why people with insulin resistance or diabetes are five times more likely to develop frozen shoulder. High insulin creates stiff connective tissue and slows healing. Ben gives practical metabolic strategies: lower carbs, test fasting insulin, walk after meals, strength train, and use intermittent fasting. The episode closes with the overlooked role of deep sleep and growth hormone in tissue repair. Poor sleep dramatically reduces recovery, while fasting and strength training boost growth hormone naturally. FREE GUIDE: How To Lose 1 Pound Of Fat Per Day HERE -https://bit.ly/48AYCfC

Despite any gripes with Xbox this year, there's no denying that 2026 presents a fun challenge for them. Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo, and Gears Of War E-Day are all slated to drop next year. However, a new wrinkle has been introduced in the ambitious RPG, Clockwork Revolution, which hails from inXile Entertainment. After a seven minute trailer from this summer's showcase, we felt this thing had to be ready to go soon. Sadly, the RPG titan tempered our expectations when the trailer ended with the familiar statement from its initial reveal: "Coming in due time." Well, if a LinkedIn profile is to be believed, Clockwork Revolution may join the fray of a busy year for the "biggest publisher in gaming." Naturally, we hone in on GTA 6 which creates a splash radius so large that every publisher will be avoiding them for the fall. How Xbox navigates this will be interesting as we have yet to consider overdue titles like State Of Decay 3 and third party deals. Buckle up, friends! It's going to be a wild ride.
