In honor of July 4th in America, on today's podcast, I'm rerunning my Memorial Day 2022 episode with my amazing friend Yvonne Caputo. She is the author of "Flying with Day." This is not only the story of a WWII B-24 Navigator, but the story about the importance of listening. Michael Caputo was a member of "the greatest generation" and he had a story to tell. Fortunately for us, his daughter, Yvonne listened. This podcast is also about the importance of listening to your elders and learning from what they have to say. Yvonne's book can be found on Amazon, or your favorite place where books are sold. She can be reached at Yvonne@Yvonnecaputo.com As always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepageBTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler

Dustin Reid, chief strategist for fixed income at Mackenzie Investments, says he expects the Federal Reserve to hold off on rate cuts in July, but to be moved into making a double cut — half a percent — in September, and worries that the central bank may be waiting too long to act, as the labor market is starting to show some cracks. Reid said a bigger cut might be taken as a positive by the market if inflation hasn't spiked, labor markets are slow but steady and the action suggests that the Fed is trying to stay ahead of the action. That action and uncertainty has Reid favoring intermediate bonds now, with two- to five-year maturities. John Kosar, chief market strategist at Asbury Research, says he is risk-on right now, being fully invested and continuing to ride the wave that started churning after the stock market bottomed out in April. Kosar acknowledges that the market's rebound has been fast and big, and so he's expecting a reversion to the mean that would push him to a risk-off position, ahead of what he considers a foreseeable market tumble. Plus, in The NAVigator segment, Mike Schueller — co-manager of the Allspring Income Opportunities fund — says he foresees a "muddle-through economy," which is actually a good environment for high-yield bonds, which face little default risk at a point where recession has "receded into the background."

This is the second episode in our seven-part mini-series exploring our leadership model. In it, we focus on the role of the insightful navigator. Referring to your internal compass, the insightful navigator is guided by your purpose, which acts as your north star when making decisions about where to focus your time and energy. (Check out the previous episode for tips on identifying your purpose). We cover a lot of ground in this one, from the importance of self-awareness and reflection, to the need for curiosity and regulating stress to ensure your demeanour remains one of calm and clarity.

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! Meet Reed: Twenty years ago Reed Davis witnessed individuals visit the doctor continually without any real healing occurring and believed there had to be a better way. He made it his life's mission to provide care and coaching for people who were wanting results, without the harsh drugs so often prescribed. He's a certified nutritional coach and fitness coach, and developed a program called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition that has taught thousands of people across many countries how to empower themselves and others how to get well and stay well naturally. On this week's episode we talk with Reed about his program and the importance of natural healing in the battle against poor health. What is functional medicine? (1:42) What patterns should we look for in our blood work? (15:00) How can someone learn more or even become certified in functional health? (16:50 You have to look at what's H.I.D.D.E.N. to find what's wrong with you: hormones, immune, digestive, detoxification, energy production, and nervous system. (11:04) Standard blood tests provided by most physicians only scratch the surface to what's going on. (14:04) It's important to pay attention even when you're in a “normal range” in your blood work. It's in those periods of being fine and not fine that we have to do research. (20:55) This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial says he expects the market has enough momentum to break through to new record highs, and soon. Led by tech stocks, Turnquist expects the move off the April lows to continue, though he acknowledges that the macro backdrop "is extremely messy." If the market can overcome trade uncertainties, Turnquist says that when new highs are achieved three months apart, it is typically a good sign that a volatile market can continue overcome bad news and continue upward trends. The NAVigator segment features an interviewed taped in New York at the Active Investment Company Alliance BDC Forum with Tonnie Wybensinger, head of government relations for the Small Business Investors Association, an industry advocacy group who discusses current legislation that would give BDC investors a tax break and how legislation on esoteric subjects like business-development companies gets passed. Natalie Iannello, discusses a Howdy.com survey which showed that the average American now believes they need $105,000 a year to live comfortably, which is a problem when you consider that other research shows the average American salary at about $66,000. Plus, it's Chuck birthday, and he shares a birthday wish for his financial situation, and yours.

Mitchel Penn, Managing Director at Oppenheimer & Co. — interviewed at the Active Investment Company Alliance BDC Forum in New York on Wednesday — says that credit losses for business development companies during the first quarter of 2025 were more than double the level they have been at for the last few years. Penn says some of that increase could be attributed to the market's reaction to government policies, but that it also could be that interest rates have stayed higher for so long now that they are starting to create credit-quality issues. He said BDCs can still deliver returns in the range of 9% moving forward, though he warned that an increasing number of business-development companies may struggle to earn their dividends, making it particularly important for investors to check under the hood to make sure the yield is real and not goosed by return of capital.

You're already creating culture. Yes, even if it's just you and your cat. Culture isn't some corporate memo or office ping-pong table. It's how you flow together. In this episode, Jenn and Shelby revisits the conversation with leadership expert Moe Carrick to explore what culture actually means, why it exists even in teams of one, and how hiring for “fit” might be holding you back. Key Takeaway The question isn't if you have culture — it's what kind you're creating, and if it supports the way you want to work and lead.

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! It's a touchy, sometimes awkward subject. Declining libido and male sexual performance are problems that can hit anyone at any age. Yes, these typically decline as we age, but waning sex drive can affect the young, overworked, and stressed individual as well. On this week's episode, we speak about the possible causes of low libido and and some practical solutions. As always, we believe in not just treating the outward symptom, but the underlying systemic issue producing the symptom. We discuss pharmaceutical and natural options, new emerging treatments, and methods to lower stress and improve your emotional state. Some Topics We Discussed: What causes low libido and why is it so common? (1:17) Are there any supplements we can take to help with low libido? (8:01) How does your emotional state impact libido? (10:34) What is the natural approach to dealing with less than optimal sexual performance? (13:09) What are healthy testosterone levels? (29:04) Key Takeaways From This Episode: Low libido is almost always a multi-faceted issue that requires a much more holistic approach. (2:43) The more common issue with men is not low testosterone but elevating estrogen. (4:17) The key to enhancing performance is improving nitric oxide levels.

Think you're at the end of your story? You're probably just in the messy middle. Episode Summary: In this Summer Sips episode, Jenn and Shelby revisit their August conversation with keynote speaker and storytelling powerhouse Kindra Hall. From Appalachian tales to leadership truths, this episode reminds us that storytelling isn't just a communication tactic—it's a lifeline. Whether you're leading a team, coaching your kids, or just trying to survive Tuesday, stories shape how we connect, grow, and lead. Kindra's insight that *“when there's a problem, there's a story”* reshapes how we show up at work and in life. You'll hear about football sagas in the holler, four-year-old curiosity, and what it means to reclaim your narrative as the main character of your own leadership. Key Takeaway When things feel like the end, it's probably just the middle. And to paraphrase Andy Grammer, grab the pen and write the next part of the story. Guest: Kindra Hall Kindra Hall is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and expert on the strategic power of storytelling. She's the author of *Stories That Stick* and *The Story Edge* and has been featured in Forbes, Inc., and SUCCESS Magazine.

Ending our April cruise in Maui (Hawaii), we headed home to Chicago for the duration of the spring. We did take a short flight to Orlando to close on our new (to us) house at the Great Outdoors (TGO) that will be our winter home starting in 2026. This house has a nice RV port which will give our aging MH a covered parking space during the off months. We chat about many RVing topics as our attention turns to RVing in the summer. Cooling your RV and fridge topics as well as the latest tech issues are discussed in this episode.

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! Chronic pain is epidemic and traditional treatments are causing health disasters in this country. The widespread use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are wreaking havoc on the health of many worldwide and they might not even know it's happening. These are meant to be used for acute pain and short term use, but there are many people that are taking them every day for years. Long term use of these drugs can cause kidney damage, fluid retention, liver stress, create a higher risk of heart disease, and can cause damage to the gut. Are there other options? YES. It's not the norm to be walking around in pain on a daily basis. There are many habits and lifestyles that contribute to this type of pain without you even knowing it. What we eat, our activity levels, our emotions all play a role in our discomfort levels. We're here to say that there is hope and it's possible to live pain free. Topics Discussed What is chronic pain? (1:35) What are the common side effects of NSAIDS? (3:18) What causes chronic pain? (6:42) What is the protocol for addressing chronic pain? (20:25) What is the ideal diet for chronic pain management? (37:12) What about using CBD for pain? (37:47) Key Takeaways Chronic Pain is affecting 1.5 billion people worldwide. (2:05) There's nothing wrong with three to seven days of these drugs. What's wrong is that six months and beyond is where the damage is occurring. (5:19) If you have too much omega-6 in your diet you will have issues with pain. (23:03) Glucosamine helps put moisture back in the cartilage. (30:32) Be very picky when selecting a curcumin product.

Jim Thorne, economist and chief market strategist at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, says the target he was setting for the stock market entering 2025 holds, and that means 7,000 on the Standard & Poor's 500 "is doable this year, and I think we will rally nicely into the mid-term elections." Thorne believes the economy can avoid a recession, which will slowly help to turn the soft data as consumers and investors regain confidence, which — coupled with interest rate cuts which he says are overdue — will keep the United States markets not only moving up but the best place to invest in the world. John Cole Scott, president of Closed-End Fund Advisors, looks at two mainstream media articles that named "the best closed-end funds" and digs into the data to compare those picks to his own — made on previous appearances on The NAVigator — to see how well the one-size-fits-all advice actually suits investors. It's a lesson in evaluating funds, but also on sizing up the sources of investment recommendations. Plus, Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at BankRate.com discusses the site's latest survey on home affordability and homeowner regrets, which not only showed that Americans are struggling in many cases to buy homes, but they often regret how much they paid and the costs of maintenance once they get one. 

John Cole Scott, president of Closed-End Fund Advisors — the chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance — discusses two mainstream media articles that purported to name "the best closed-end funds" and that were published right around the times when he appeared on The NAVigator and gave out his own investment suggestions; he digs into the data to compare how all of the suggestions turned out and see how one-size-fits-all advice actually suits individual investors. It's a lesson in evaluating funds, but also on sizing up the sources of investment recommendations.

Scott is the founder and former CEO of Fisher Technical Services (FTSI), where he developed the industry-changing Navigator control system for live entertainment and film automation. After merging FTSI with Tait, Scott shifted focus to motion control and stunt rigging for major feature films. With decades of experience across touring, themed attractions, and cinema, Scott brings deep insight into the intersection of technology and storytelling.In this conversation, Scott Fisher shares his unique experience in building pirate ships, focusing on the automation systems and special effects involved. He discusses the challenges of construction, his lack of prior knowledge, and the importance of collaboration with experts in various fields such as plumbing, electrical work, and concrete construction. Fisher emphasizes the learning process and the necessity of teamwork in achieving complex projects.This episode is brought to you by ETC anc Artistry In Motion

This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! One of the biggest resolutions people typically have is to eat healthier and lose weight. There's plenty of reasons why many of us over eat, but much of it comes down to the foods we crave. There's an addictive quality to food whether we want to admit or not and saying no to unhealthy snacks and meals can prove extremely difficult. On this week's episode Ed addresses why we crave particular foods and gives a few easy to implement tips to help reduce those cravings. There's always a fair amount of self-control that needs to happen when trying to change our eating habits, but these small steps can make that journey much easier. Some Topics We Discuss: Why is food addictive? (3:30) How does sugar consumption affect our brain? (4:45) What are Ed's 5 tips to reduce food cravings? (11:43) What is intermittent fasting?

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! On this week's episode we talk all about holistic pet care and why it's important to prevent common pet issues before they begin. Often for conventional medicine, for humans and pets alike, the reigning principle remains to treat a problem once it occurs, not prevent it in the first place. Dr. Karen Becker is on a mission to change just that. Through her new book, The Forever Dog, and through her work as a vet, she works diligently to change the way people think about pet care. Meet Dr. Becker: Our guest this week is nothing short of extraordinary. Dr. Karen Becker is the most followed veterinarian in the world, and for good reason. She believes in a deliberate, common sense approach to creating and maintaining vibrant health for companion animals and an unconventional, integrative approach to addressing disease and re-establishing wellbeing in ill pets. This refreshing, proactive approach that intentionally focuses on creating or restoring wellbeing has been embraced by millions of pet lovers around the world.
