Two weeks ago, silver was unstoppable. Today, investors are staring at a massive 15% drop. Headlines are calling it a "bubble burst," but the data tells a very different story.In this deep dive, we look past the panic to analyze the *real* reasons behind the crash, from the CME margin hikes to China's new export rules. We also break down the structural "Big Three" demand drivers for 2026: Solar, AI Data Centers, and Solid-State Batteries.

When world champion heptathlete Anna Hall broke her foot in 2021, she thought her career might be over at just 20 years old. Today, she's a world champion, an Olympian, and a redefined athlete who understands that success isn't just about the gold medal—it’s about the grit it takes to get there. In today’s conversation, Anna opens up about the "good busy" season of life she’s currently navigating, from intense training sessions to wedding planning. She reflects on the heartbreak of the Paris Olympics and the subsequent journey of returning to the track with a refreshed perspective. We dive deep into her mental toolkit, including her specific journaling process, how she compartmentalizes challenges during a multi-event competition, and the vital role that nutrition and her dog, Cross, play in her wellness routine. IN THIS EPISODE How Anna navigated the disappointment of the Paris Olympics The "good busy" of wedding planning alongside pro-athlete training Her specific "good things only" track journaling process The role of nutrition and her partnership with Nulo How to compartmentalize during a multi-event competition like the heptathlon Learning to be uncomfortable in order to grow The influence of icons like Jackie Joyner-Kersee on her career QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Resilience and Disappointment "I’ve been really low before; I’ve wanted to quit the sport before. That was temporary. So now I have that perspective where I can zoom out a little bit." "You think, 'Oh, my whole life will change when I get the gold medal.' And it really doesn't. You're still you." On the Mental Game "In my track journal, I only write down good things. I only write down things I want to remember, do again, or feel." "I feel like I write my mindset for track day into existence the night before." On Growth and Grit "You need to be uncomfortable to grow. That’s what all of training is." "No matter what is going on in my life, off the track, on the track, no matter what injury, it’s like I always just come back to the work."

Hey friends,If you've ever looked at the world and thought, “This is too much, I don't even know where to start,” you are not alone. Culture is moving at warp speed, and as Christian parents, it can feel impossible to keep up, let alone know how to guide our kids through it all with clarity, calm, and conviction.In today's episode, I'm joined by my Denison Ministries teammates and friends, Connor Jones and Micah Tomasella. These two are not only culture watchers and podcast hosts, but they're also dads in the thick of raising littles, so they get it. Together, we talk about how to engage culture without being consumed by it, and how to stay grounded when the headlines won't stop coming.Here's what we cover:How to decide what's actually worth paying attention to (and what you can ignore)How to enjoy entertainment and trends without letting them become idolsWhy biblical grounding matters more than having all the right answersHow to have conversations with your kids that don't feel like lecturesThis one is practical, honest, and encouraging, especially if you've been feeling overwhelmed, out of your depth, or tempted to just check out entirely.Connor Jones is the Director of Performance Marketing and Micah Tomasella is the Director of Advancement at Denison Ministries. Together, they host The Culture Brief podcast, where they break down what's happening in the world and how to think about it through a biblical lens. Both are young dads navigating the same parenting pressures and culture shifts that many of us face daily. Their goal? Help Christians stay rooted in truth while walking wisely in a noisy world.Let's keep showing up with curiosity, courage, and grace. You don't have to know everything, just stay rooted.With love,Steph(00:00) Introduction to the Hosts and Their Backgrounds(04:54) Navigating Culture as Parents(11:15) Engaging with Cultural Moments(14:49) Discussing Cultural Events with Kids(19:08) Fostering Healthy Conversations about Culture(19:48) Navigating Theological Questions with Children(22:14) The Importance of Open Dialogue in Parenting(26:06) Equipping Ourselves for Cultural Conversations(28:24) Encouragement for Overwhelmed Parents(32:42) Trusting God's Plan in ParentingResources MentionedDwell Bible in a Year Give to Christian ParentingSign up for Morning MinuteChristian ParentingCulture Brief PodcastDenison ForumDenison MinistriesPrefer video?

As we close out Season 3 of the Military Transition Academy Podcast and wrap up 2025, we're ending the year with a conversation many service members can relate to — transitions shaped by med boards, medical retirements, or unexpected discharges that leave little time to prepare.In this episode, Craig Jones shares how a sudden medical retirement from the Marine Corps forced him to face the question, What now? His answer was simple: do what you can, when you can.Craig walks through his path from Marine to Program Manager at USAA, including how he discovered project management, recognized his transferable skills, and used certifications to translate his experience into a language civilian employers understand. He also shares the mindset shifts that mattered most, why “no” is often redirection, and how steady forward motion builds momentum over time.This episode is for veterans closing out the year feeling uncertain, behind, or unprepared. Craig's story is a reminder that progress does not require a perfect plan, just a willingness to take the next step.As we head into a new year, this conversation offers a simple way to prepare today for your post-service career tomorrow.

New Year's Resolutions or Intentions for the New Year...Peace will rule, get into it! End of year roundup, reflecting on next chapter of my life, I am hopeful that my ordered steps will help someone else. Truth comes in many forms. What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. An elderly woman once told a sister, "I love her, but I cannot breathe when she leaves. It is as though she blows out the candles in my house." The sister answered her with gentle truth, "Love her from a distance, for God did not ask you to sacrifice your peace to satisfy another's unrest." If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type, the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you.  3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you.  Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts.  5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives.  Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace.  Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge.  Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah  Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and all of us should be about fixing our mental health always....

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 26th Publish Date:  December 26th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, December 26th and Happy Birthday to Lars Ulrich I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Piastra closing, reopening as café and grocery in January Salleigh Grubbs appointed to State Election Board Bittersweet: Candymakers navigate tariff, supply chain challenges during holiday season Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on holiday foods All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 10 STORY 1: Piastra closing, reopening as café and grocery in January  Big changes are coming to Piastra, the Italian spot that’s been a Marietta Square favorite since 2015. After New Year’s Eve, the restaurant will close its doors—but not for good. In January, it’ll reopen as Asher and Rose Modern Grocers, a café and market dreamed up by co-owners Greg Lipman and his mom, Betty Bahl. Why the shift? “We’ve been listening,” Lipman said. Locals have been asking for a specialty grocery store on the Square for years, and now they’re getting one—complete with fresh bread, local produce, prepared meals, and an all-day breakfast café. “We love this community,” Lipman added. STORY 2: Salleigh Grubbs appointed to State Election Board Salleigh Grubbs, former Cobb GOP Chair, is stepping into a new role on the State Election Board. The Georgia Republican Party announced Monday that Lt. Gov. Burt Jones appointed her to fill the seat left vacant by Rick Jeffares. It’s a “recess appointment,” Grubbs explained, and she’s diving in immediately. “I’m honored, humbled, all of it,” she said. “Fair elections are something I’ve been passionate about for years, and I’m ready to get to work.” A Marietta native, Grubbs led the Cobb GOP until earlier this year and now serves as the Georgia GOP’s first vice chair. “This is about transparency,” she added. STORY 3: Bittersweet: Candymakers navigate tariff, supply chain challenges during holiday season   For Jocelyn Dubuke, owner of Jardi Chocolates, 2025 has been a rollercoaster. Tariffs, supply chain chaos, rising costs—it’s enough to make anyone panic. And yet, back in January, she made a bold move: she spent every penny of last year’s revenue stockpiling chocolate. “I told my distributors, ‘Whatever you’ve got in the States, I’ll take it,’” she said. “I wasn’t about to tell my customers halfway through the year, ‘Oh, by the way, your chocolate’s double the price now.’” Chocolate’s tricky—rules you can’t break, ingredients you can’t grow here. But for Dubuke, it’s personal. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 10 STORY 4: Georgia DOT suspends lane closures for the holidays  With the holidays happening, the Georgia Department of Transportation is hitting pause on lane closures—at least on interstates, major routes, and roads near shopping hubs. From Dec. 23 at 6 a.m. to Dec. 28 at 10 p.m., and again from Dec. 31 at 5 a.m. to Jan. 2 at 5 a.m., you’ll get a break from the usual construction chaos. But don’t get too comfortable—crews might still be working nearby, and emergency closures? Yeah, those can still happen. Stay sharp, watch for signs, and if you’re curious about road updates, check out GDOT’s website or the 511GA app. STORY 5: Walton claims first county title in nearly two decades Walton’s boys wrestling team finally broke through, snagging their first Cobb County title in nearly 20 years Saturday at Harrison High. And they did it in style—five wrestlers in the finals, five gold medals. Coach Dylan Turner couldn’t stop smiling. “We’ve got everyone back from last year, and it took every single one of them to pull this off,” he said. “They’re just gamers.” The standout? Brandon Whiteford. An eighth seed at 165 pounds, he shocked the top seed with a pin in his opener, then clinched the title with a gritty 6-3 win in the final. “I love the pressure,” he said. FALCONS: Bijan Robinson was electric, C.J. Henderson clutch, and the Falcons? They held on—barely. Atlanta edged Arizona 26-19 on Sunday, thanks to Henderson’s diving interception with 90 seconds left, slamming the door on the Cardinals’ final drive. Robinson? Unreal. 171 total yards, a touchdown grab, and a spot in Falcons history—just the third player to hit 2,000 scrimmage yards in a season. Not bad company: Jamal Anderson, William Andrews. Arizona? Another heartbreak. Seven straight losses, 12 of their last 13. Brissett’s 203 yards weren’t enough, and a wild Michael Wilson TD catch wasn’t either. Atlanta’s still alive. Barely. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on holiday foods We’ll have closing comments after this.

In this special episode of the Light Up Your Metabolism podcast, I'm sharing a real coaching conversation with one of my Blood Sugar Mastery students — a woman who courageously brought her whole self to the call.She's seeing incredible improvements in her blood sugar, energy, and gym performance, has successfully tapered off metformin, and feels deeply aligned with how she's eating. But with the holidays approaching, she's nervous.Not about food availability — but about family opinions.If you've ever felt anxious about eating differently around family, worried about being judged, or struggled with people pleasing when it comes to your health choices, this episode is for you.In this conversation, we talk about how to: • Navigate family gatherings when your food choices stand out • Handle comments like “Why aren't you eating that?” or “Just have a bite” • Stop trying to make everyone comfortable with your healing • Advocate for yourself without needing agreement • Sit with discomfort instead of abandoning your needs • Reframe diet boundaries as self-respect, not restriction • Recognize people-pleasing and fawning patterns • Use your health wins as confidence — not justification • Speak kindly to yourself when comments sting • Practice emotional regulation during triggering situationsThis episode is also a beautiful glimpse into what it's like inside Blood Sugar Mastery, where every student receives real-time, one-on-one coaching and support.Healing your blood sugar often becomes a mirror for other areas of your life — especially boundaries, self-trust, and self-compassion.If this conversation resonates with you and you're ready for support, I invite you to book a discovery call or learn more about joining Blood Sugar Mastery.Book a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycallEnroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-masterySTAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

Send us a textHoliday Eating Without Guilt: A New Way to Navigate the HolidaysThe holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for so many women, they come with food guilt, stress, and the pressure to “be good” around food.In this episode, I'm breaking down why holiday eating feels so hard, and why the stress you feel around food isn't a personal failure it's a predictable response to restriction, pressure, and outdated nutrition rules.I walk you through what I call the holiday diet trap: the cycle of restriction, overeating, guilt, and shame that shows up every year, and explain why trying to control food more actually leads to less control.We talk about how holiday stress impacts your physiology, your appetite, and your food choices, and why mindful eating isn't about willpower, it's about creating safety, presence, and freedom around food.This episode is a call to shift from restriction to nourishment, from fear to trust, and from guilt to an abundance mindset so you can enjoy holiday food, feel good in your body, and stay connected to what actually matters.If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through holiday eating, this episode will change how you approach food —not just during the holidays, but for good.Why wait until January 1 to feel better?

No tuvo ni voz ni voto en el asunto: nació para ser rey. Debido a la muerte prematura de su padre, lo nombraron rey el día mismo de su nacimiento, 17 de mayo de 1886. Así que su madre María Cristina de Austria gobernó en su lugar, como regente, hasta 1902, cuando él cumplió los dieciséis años. Pero se le consideró rey de España desde casi siete meses antes de nacer, cuando su madre, ya viuda, estaba esperando su nacimiento, junto con todo el reino, sin saber si sería varón, y por lo tanto el heredero al trono en lugar de la Princesa María de las Mercedes, que era la hija mayor.1 Desde luego, se trata de Alfonso XIII, el abuelo del rey Juan Carlos I y el bisabuelo del rey Felipe VI. El comienzo y el fin de su reinado pueden entonces resumirse de la siguiente manera: Debido a la muerte de su padre Alfonso XII, víctima de la tuberculosis tres días antes de cumplir apenas veintiocho años de edad, Alfonso XIII llegó al trono español cuando nació, y lo ocupó desde que se le declaró mayor de edad en 1902 hasta que se proclamó la Segunda República el 14 de abril de 1931. Ese mismo día, tras las elecciones municipales en las que triunfaron los partidos republicanos, se reunió por última vez como rey con su Consejo de Ministros, y les leyó su renuncia. Acto seguido, Alfonso XIII se marchó rumbo al exilio, conduciendo él mismo su propio Duesenberg J, un coche deportivo descapotable que era una maravilla de la automoción con más de 200 caballos de fuerza.2 Tres días después, el pueblo español leyó a su vez, en el diario ABC, aquel histórico manifiesto de despedida de Alfonso XIII, que comenzaba con estas palabras: «Las elecciones celebradas el domingo me revelan claramente que no tengo hoy el amor de mi pueblo.»3 Así como Alfonso XIII hijo de Alfonso XII, Jesucristo el Hijo de Dios también nació para ser rey. Y, al igual que el pueblo español, el pueblo judío tuvo que esperar con paciencia el día de su nacimiento. Pero a diferencia de Alfonso XIII, cuando Jesús nació, su pueblo no lo reconoció como tal,4 sino sólo unos sabios del Oriente que viajaron hasta Judea para adorarlo como el que había nacido rey de los judíos.5 Y no llegó entonces a ocupar el trono ni presentó su renuncia por escrito en sus juicios ante el Consejo de los judíos ni ante el gobernador romano Poncio Pilato. Se limitó a decir: «Mi reino no es de este mundo», y eso porque Pilato le preguntó si era el rey de los judíos.6 Pero sí renunció a la vida misma cuando la entregó por su pueblo, que somos nosotros, en la cruz del Calvario, con un letrero encima de la cabeza que lo identificaba prematuramente como rey,7 ya que desde el principio Dios dispuso que Cristo resucitaría, se desterraría, subiría al cielo y volvería posteriormente montado en un caballo blanco para ocupar el trono de toda la tierra, conduciendo Él mismo a los ejércitos del cielo en su regreso a modo de entrada triunfal como Rey de reyes y Señor de señores.8 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Moniek, «The Latent Queen: Maria de las Mercedes» (La reina latente: María de las Mercedes), History of Royal Women (Historia de mujeres de la realeza), 16 enero 2015 En línea 2 julio 2019. 2 Manuel J.

The job market isn't what it used to be. A strong resume and decades of experience are no longer enough to carry even the most qualified applicants, especially in a market flooded with applications and filtered by AI before a human ever looks twice. Hiring works differently now, and that shift catches a lot of experienced workers off guard. That's why today's guest matters big time. We're joined by Rick Denius, founder of HR Search Co., to break down how the hiring process really works today and what job seekers need to understand to navigate it.In this conversation, Rick walks through what he sees every day behind the scenes of hiring — why companies post jobs as a last resort, how roles actually get filled before they ever appear online, and where experienced candidates lose leverage without realizing it. He explains why applying online so often leads nowhere, how age bias quietly shows up in modern hiring (ageism is real!), and what older workers can do to stay visible and in demand.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.In this episode, we explore a theme that quietly weighs on many people during this time of year: navigating the holidays alone. While the holiday season is often portrayed as a time of togetherness, joy, and celebration, it can also amplify feelings of loneliness, pressure, and comparison. The Stoics approached these moments differently, not by denying the difficulty, but by understanding it through reason, acceptance, and self-knowledge.At the heart of this episode is the Stoic distinction between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness arises when our desires and expectations clash with reality, when we believe something essential is missing. Solitude, by contrast, is a state of inner steadiness, a calm connection with oneself that does not depend on external circumstances.Seneca captures this beautifully when he writes:“…we say the wise man is self-content; he is so in the sense that he is able to do without friends, not that he desires to do without them.”Seneca, Letters from a Stoic, Letter 9For the Stoics, this wasn't about rejecting relationships or becoming emotionally distant, but about grounding our well-being in what truly belongs to us: our judgments, values, and character. When Seneca speaks of self-contentment, he isn't praising isolation, but reminding us that inner stability is the foundation for meaningful connection, not its opposite.Here are a few Stoic practices from this episode you can explore in your own life:Examining desires – Notice where your expectations about the holidays come from, and whether they are reasonable or imposed by social pressure.Reframing impressions – When thoughts of “I shouldn't be alone” arise, pause and question the judgment behind them.Practicing solitude – Use time alone for reflection, rest, and reconnection with your values, rather than distraction.Voluntary withdrawal from comparison – Step back from social media when it fuels restlessness or self-judgment.This episode gently reframes the holidays as an opportunity for honesty and presence. By applying the Stoic view, moments of solitude can become moments of clarity, grounding, and even quiet joy. Stoicism shows us that peace does not come from having life look a certain way, but from learning to meet life as it is, with reason and kindness toward ourselves.Listen to the full episode now and discover how navigating the holidays alone can transform the way you think, act, and relate to yourself.Support the show

Welcome to episode #1015 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when scarcity shapes everything from opportunity to attention, understanding who gets what (and why) has become one of the most consequential questions in modern life. Judd Kessler is the inaugural Howard Marks Endowed Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an award-winning economist, and one of the leading thinkers in market design, public policy and behavioral economics. His research examines how rules, incentives, and institutional structures shape outcomes in environments where price alone cannot (or should not) decide allocation, from organ donation systems to education, labor markets, and beyond. Recognized early for his impact, Judd was named one of Forbes' "30 Under 30" in Law and Policy for his work on organ allocation and received the Vernon L. Smith Ascending Scholar Prize in 2021. His first (and new) book, Lucky by Design - The Hidden Economics You Need to Get More of What You Want, distills years of research into how "hidden markets" - those governed by rules rather than prices - quietly determine access to jobs, schools, tickets, healthcare, and even relationships. Judd explores the mechanics of scarcity, the strategic role of lotteries, waiting lists, and signaling, and how individuals unknowingly participate in market design every day. He also examines how AI is beginning to reshape allocation systems, why visible markets increasingly contain hidden layers, and how better design can improve both efficiency and equity. Grounded in rigorous scholarship yet deeply practical, Judd's work reframes luck not as randomness, but as something shaped by systems we can understand and sometimes redesign.

Our Head of Corporate Research Andrew Sheets and Chief Investment Officer for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Lisa Shalett unpack what's fueling persistent U.S. inflation and how investors could adjust their portfolios to this new landscape.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Lisa Shalett: And I'm Lisa Shalett, Chief Investment Officer for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Andrew Sheets: Today, is inflation really transitory or are we entering a new era where higher prices are the norm? Andrew Sheets: It's Thursday, December 18th at 4pm in London. Lisa Shalett: And it's 11am in New York. Andrew Sheets: Lisa, it's great to talk to you again. And, you know, we're having this conversation in the aftermath of, kind of, an unusual dynamic in markets when it comes to inflation. Because inflation is still hovering around 3 percent. That's well above the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. And yet the Federal Reserve recently lowered interest rates again. Fiscal policy remains very stimulative, and I think there's this real question around whether inflation will moderate? Or whether we're going to see inflation be higher for longer. And you know, you are out with a new report touching on some of the issues behind this and why this might be a structural shift higher in inflation. So, we'd love to get your thoughts on that, and we'll drill down into the various drivers as this conversation goes on. Lisa Shalett: Thanks Andrew. And look, I think as we take a step back, and the reason we're calling this a regime change is because we see factors for inflation coming from both the demand side and the supply side. For example, on the demand side, the role of the infrastructure boom, the GenAI infrastructure boom, has become global. It has caused material appreciation of many commodities in 2025. We're seeing it obviously in some of the dynamics around precious metals. But we're also seeing it in industrial metals. Things like copper, things like nickel. We're also seeing demand factors that may stem from the K-shaped economy. And the K-shaped economy, as we know, is really about this idea that the wealthiest folks are increasingly dominating consumption. And they are getting wealthy through financial asset inflation. On the supply side, there are dynamics like immigration, dynamics around the housing market that we can talk about. But perhaps the wrapper around all of it is how policy is shifting – because increasingly policymakers are being constrained by very high levels of debt and deficits. And determining how to fund those debts and deficits actually removes some of the degrees of freedom that central bankers may have when it comes to actually using interest rates to constrain demand. Andrew Sheets: Well, Lisa, this is such a great point because we're financial analysts. We're not political analysts. But it seems safe to say that voters really don't like inflation. But they also don't like some of the policies that would traditionally be assigned to fight inflation – be they higher interest rates or tighter fiscal policy. And even some of the more recent political shifts that we've seen – I'm talking about the U.S. around, say, immigration policy could arguably be further tightening of that supply side of the economy – measures designed to raise wages, almost explicitly in their policy goals. So how do you see that dynamic? And, again, kind of where does that leave, you think, policy going forward? Lisa Shalett: Yeah. I think the very short answer – our best guess is that policy becomes constrained. So, on the monetary side, we're already seeing the Fed beginning to signal that perhaps they're going to rely on other tools in the toolkit. And what are those tools in the toolkit? Well, they're managing the size of their balance sheet, managing the duration or the mix of things that they hold in the balance sheet. And it's actual, you know, returns to how they think about reserve management in the banking system. All of those things, all of those constraints may enable the U.S. government to fund debts, right? By buying the Treasury bill issuance, which is, you know, swollen to almost [$]2 trillion a year in terms of U.S. deficits. But on the fiscal side, right, the interest payments on debt, begins to crowd out other government spending. So, policy itself in this era of fiscal dominance becomes constrained – both in, you know, Washington, D.C. and from Congress – what they can do, their degrees of freedom – and what the central bank can do to actually control inflation. Andrew Sheets: Another area that you touch on in your report is energy and technology, which are obviously related with this large boom that we're seeing – and continue to expect in AI data center construction. This is a lot of spending on the technology. This is a lot of power needed to power that technology and U.S. data center electricity demand is growing at a rapid rate. And transmission constraints are causing prices to go up. A price that is a pretty visible price for a lot of people when they get their utility bill. So, how do these factors you think shape the story? And where do you think they're going to go as we look into the future? Lisa Shalett: Yeah, 100 percent. I mean, I think, you know, when we talk about, you know, who's going to dominate in Generative AI globally, one of the factors that we have to take into consideration is what is the cost of power? What is the cost of electricity? What is the age of the infrastructure to both generate that electricity and transport it? And transmit it? This is one of the areas where the U.S., at the minute, is facing genuine constraints. When you think about some of the forecasts that have been put out there in terms of $10 trillion of spending related to Generative AI, the number of data centers that are going to be built, and the power shortfall that has been forecast. We're talking about someone having to pay the price, if you will, to ration power until you can upgrade the grid. And in the U.S., that grid upgrade, to be blunt, has lagged some of the rest of the world. Not only because the rest of the world was slower to modernize and leapfrogged in many ways. But we know in China, for example, they have one of the lowest electricity generation costs on the planet. That is an advantage for them. So, we have to consider that power generation writ large is potentially a force for upward inflation, at least in the short term. Andrew Sheets: So we have the fiscal policy backdrop. We have an AI spending backdrop both contributing to the demand side of inflation. We have these supply constraints, whether it's housing or labor also, you know, potentially being more structural drivers of higher inflation. The question I'm sure that investors are asking you is, what should they do about it? So, can you walk us through the key strategies that investors might want to consider as they navigate a new inflationary regime? Lisa Shalett: Sure. So, the first thing that we think it's really important for folks to appreciate is that typically when we've been in these higher inflation regimes in the past, stocks and bonds become positively correlated. And what that means is that the power of a very simple 60-40 or stock-bond-cash portfolio to provide complete or optimal diversification fades. And it requires investors to potentially consider investing, especially beyond fixed income. Stocks very often are pro-inflationary assets; meaning many, many companies have the power to pass through price increases. If you are consuming income from a fixed income or a bond instrument, inflation is your enemy, right? Because it's eating into your real returns. And so, one of the things that we're talking with our clients a lot about in terms of portfolio construction are things like adding real assets, adding infrastructure assets, adding energy, transportation assets, adding commodities. Adding gold even, to a certain extent. You know, there may be cryptocurrencies that have lower correlations to their portfolios. Andrew Sheets: Just to play devil's advocate, you can imagine that some investors might say, ‘Well, I can look in the market at long-term inflation expectations.' And those long-term inflation expectations have been kind of stable and a bit above the Fed's target. But not dramatically. So, what do you say to that? And what do you think those markets either might be missing? Or how could investors leverage that more benign view that's out there in the market? Lisa Shalett: Yeah, so look, I think here's where the debate, right? Our perception has been that inflation expectations have remained extraordinarily anchored – because investors have actually reasonably short memories on the one hand, and we have, by and large, been in disinflationary times. Second, there's extraordinary faith in policy makers – that policy makers will fight inflation. And I think the third thing is that there's extraordinary faith in the deflationary forces of technology. Now, all three of those things may absolutely, positively be true. The problem that we have is that the alternate case, right? The case that we're making – that maybe we're in a new inflationary regime is not priced, and the risk is non-zero. And so, what we see, and what we're watching is – how steep does the yield curve get, right? As we look at yields in the 10-30-year tenure – what is driving those rates higher? Is it a generic term premium? Or are we starting to see an unanchoring, if you will, of inflation expectations. And it takes a while for people to appreciate regime change. And so, look, as is always the case, there's no absolutes in the market. There's no one theory that is priced and the other theory is not. But sometimes you want to hedge, and we think that we're going through a period where diversified portfolios and hedging for these alternative outcomes -- because there are such powerful structural crosscurrents – is the preferred path.

This episode walks through first impressions from head-to-head tests, benchmark reactions, and creator feedback, then digs into four specific areas where GPT Image 1.5 may be the better choice right now, from hyper-precise instruction following and complex multi-constraint prompts to alternative infographic aesthetics and a consumer-first interface designed for discovery and play. The takeaway is not that one model clearly wins, but that creators suddenly have real choice at the high end of image generation, which is a big shift from just a few weeks ago.

"Money is one of those things that people just consider as an afterthought. The older you get and the more responsibilities you have, you start to realize money is a tool, and it's required for health and happiness." In this episode, Heather sits down with Douglas and Heather Boneparth to dig into the often uncomfortable but wholly necessary work of talking about finances with your partner. Together, they unpack what really happens beneath the surface when couples avoid money conversations, and how bringing these truths forward can transform the intimacy, teamwork, and emotional safety in your relationship. Explore the stories we inherit around money, why it feels so vulnerable to speak up, and the simple shifts that help you feel like you're on the same team again. What to listen for: ✨ Money is not an afterthought; it's a tool for cultivating health and happiness ✨ How Douglas and Heather first understood that they needed to talk about money ✨ Overcoming the fear of speaking up with your partner about finances "You're communicating even when you're not communicating. Your body language, your actions, and the way that you're passive-aggressive about it. You're just failing to say the thing that needs to be said." ✨ Opening the door to teamwork and shared responsibility in your relationship ✨ Letting go of the "Prince Charming is going to save me" and taking ownership ✨ The importance of acknowledging the impact partners have on one another "The collective ambition needs to come to life here because you share a life together. You still get to be your own person, but you're playing a team game. Championships are won through team efforts, and this is what collaboration is all about. Your marriage is essentially a collaboration of life, and money is this game that you don't get to opt out of." ✨ Why freedom is emotionally uncomfortable and how to navigate that ✨ The question Douglas and Heather ask every couple to bring them together ✨ The power of energetic time management and chasing the feeling you're after "It's not the thing you want, it's the feeling. You say you want more money, more accolades, another book, this, this, this. Amazing. Take it. But what's the feeling you're after?" ✨ The importance of valuing the journey as much as you value the end goal ✨ Benchmarking your money goals and navigating the resistance that comes up ✨ Understanding that intimacy is directly connected to your financial health About Douglas and Heather Boneparth: Heather and Douglas Boneparth are the co-authors of Money Together: How to find fairness in your relationship and become an unstoppable financial team.

Deloitte's latest Tech Trends report makes one thing clear: real AI value doesn't come from dropping chatbots or agents onto old workflows, but from redesigning how organizations actually work. This episode breaks down why agentic AI forces process redesign, infrastructure modernization, and new management models, why legacy systems, data readiness, and governance remain the biggest blockers, and what separates companies getting real value from those stuck in pilots. The core lesson from 2025 is simple but hard: AI advantage comes from rebuilding operations for an AI-native world, not layering tools on top of the past.

Celebrate our 250th episode with expert strategies that make tough conversations easier — and more meaningful.Some of the most meaningful shifts in how we communicate come from the moments that challenge us the most. In this special 250th episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams reflects on the insights that have shown him how conflict can become a catalyst for clarity, connection, and even compassion. From Amy Gallo's reminder that the “right kind of conflict” leads to better outcomes to Jenn Wynn's framework for calming our nervous system before stepping into a hard conversation and Julia Minson's HEAR method for signaling genuine curiosity, each tool helps turn tension into understanding for every stage of conflict. And with Joseph Grenny's guidance on noticing when our motives shift from problem-solving to winning, this episode highlights how self-awareness can reset even the toughest moments. Whether you're navigating workplace disagreements or everyday friction at home, this milestone episode offers practical ways to make difficult dialogue feel less daunting — and a real opportunity to communicate better.Episode Reference Links:Amy GalloAmy's Book: Getting Along: How to Work With AnyoneEp.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneJenn Wynn  Jenn's Podcast: The H.I.

LeMay's Post-War Legacy — James M. Scott — Following World War II, LeMay ascends to command the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and eventually assumes the position of Air Force Chief of Staff, though he struggles to navigate the complex political environment and institutional constraints characterizing Washingtonbureaucracy and civilian oversight. Scott documents that LeMay never publicly expressed remorse or moral regret regarding the firebombing campaign, consistently maintaining that the campaign was militarily necessary to prevent a catastrophically expensive ground invasion of the Japanese mainland requiring massive American casualty expenditures. Scott notes that LeMay's historical reputation suffers significantly in subsequent decades due to his controversial "bomb them back to the Stone Age" rhetoric regarding Vietnam policy and his catastrophically ill-conceived decision to accept the Vice Presidential nomination on George Wallace's segregationist ticket in 1968, thereby associating him with explicit racial segregation advocacy and political extremism. 1930
