Turn Setbacks Into Wins With Neutral Thinking   Success does not protect you from feeling stuck. In fact, for many high achievers, the pressure to keep performing can bury the deeper questions that actually matter. This conversation with Joshua Lifrak is about what happens when the old way of thinking stops working and you need a more honest framework for resilience, growth, and living with intention. Joshua knows this terrain from both sides. He grew up around financial scarcity, built a career in elite performance, and lived through bankruptcy before rebuilding. Along the way, he worked with top athletes and organizations, including the Chicago Cubs during their 2016 World Series run, and built a framework for performing under pressure that now serves business leaders as well.   In This Episode: How childhood scarcity shaped Joshua's early relationship with money Why bankruptcy became a turning point instead of an ending What elite athletes understand about mental preparation that most executives do not The power of neutral thinking in high-pressure moments Why knowledge without action changes nothing How to stop living by default and start living by design What "Mile Zero" means for your next chapter   Key Insights: The story you attach to a setback often creates more damage than the setback itself. Neutral thinking creates space for better decisions. Real performance is built before the pressure moment arrives. Growth comes from repetition, not occasional inspiration. The past only controls the future if you keep giving it that power.   Money Learnings from Joshua: He grew up with a scarcity-based relationship to money and remembers what it felt like when finances were tight at home. School did not teach him much about money, and he says he did not truly begin to understand how money could work for you until later in life. He credits his wife, Karen, with helping shape a more thoughtful financial approach through long-term planning, investing, and thinking differently about how to use money to create freedom and better choices.   Why This Conversation Matters: It speaks directly to entrepreneurs and high achievers who know what pressure feels like. Success does not eliminate setbacks, self-doubt, or emotional overreaction. In many cases, it raises the stakes. Joshua brings a rare perspective because he connects personal financial struggle, elite athletic performance, and business leadership into one practical framework. For anyone building a company, leading a team, or trying to grow through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that better results often begin with better thinking. This is what makes the conversation so relevant for entrepreneurs and high achievers. Success does not remove pressure. It often amplifies it. And when pressure rises, the real question is whether you will react emotionally or respond with intention. Joshua's concept of neutral thinking offers a grounded way forward.   About Joshua Lifrak: Joshua Lifrak, M.S., author of WIN TODAY, is Director of Performance and Coaching at Limitless Minds, a mental performance consultancy, delivering keynotes and advising individuals, small businesses, and top multinationals including McDonalds, Novartis, Pfizer, KPMG, and Amazon.

Nationwide Mutual's Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Kathy Bostjancic says the Fed may be approaching a neutral stance, but inflation is expected to remain above the 2% target through year-end. She sees the Fed holding steady for now, with rate cuts likely pushed into next year, while noting that reduced Fed communication could spark volatility even as the labor market and AI investment signal underlying economic strength.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman cover Tim Cook's final WWDC as CEO and Apple's Gemini-powered Siri strategy, the $35 billion Apollo and Blackstone deal backing Anthropic's capacity expansion, Intel's packaging wins with Google and NVIDIA, SpaceX's IPO at a $1.77 trillion valuation, Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 launch across every major cloud, and earnings reactions from Oracle, Micron, and Adobe. The handpicked topics for this week are: Apple's Siri AI Will Run on Gemini, Closing Out Tim Cook's Final WWDC as CEO: At WWDC, Apple confirmed Siri AI will run on Gemini through a new billion-dollar per year, multi-year deal, while Apple's Foundation Model Cloud Pro runs on NVIDIA GPUs inside Google Cloud. The announcement marks Tim Cook's last WWDC as CEO before John Ternus takes over on September 1. Apple isn't building its own AI cluster or competing on CapEx. They're betting that by owning the consumption layer, backed by access to health data and private messaging through iMessage, Apple will have a moat that compute spending can't replicate. (The Decode) Apollo and Blackstone Close the Largest Private Credit Deal Ever Backing Anthropic's Capacity Expansion: A $35 billion deal, the largest private credit transaction on record, will fund Google TPU capacity tied to Anthropic's compute needs, with Broadcom backstopping senior debt tranches and Google backstopping lease payments. The structure treats compute as a lendable asset class and signals more than 20 gigawatts of demand still being built out through 2028. Circular financing between chipmakers, cloud providers, and AI labs has moved from controversial to standard practice. (The Decode) Intel's Foundry Wins Packaging Work on Google's TPUs, Not a Full Fab Deal: Reports that Intel landed a deal tied to Google and NVIDIA reframe what's actually being handed off. Intel gets the packaging work on over 3 million TPUs, the compute die stays with TSMC, and the I/O die is being negotiated with Samsung at 2nm. INTC rose 12% Monday. The deal represents a low-risk path for Intel to augment, not replace, TSMC, while raising questions about anti-competitive dynamics in the foundry market. (The Decode) SpaceX Becomes an AI Infrastructure Company With a $1.77 Trillion IPO: SpaceX's IPO priced amid oversubscribed demand, with its valuation now reflecting not just Starlink connectivity and launch dominance but a newly material AI business, including AI1 orbital data center tests planned for late 2027 and a $920 million per month Google compute contract running through 2029. A sum-of-the-parts breakdown of the connectivity, launch, and AI segments lands well short of the trading price, with the gap largely explained by confidence in Elon Musk's track record of execution. (The Decode) Anthropic Launches Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Across Every Major Cloud: Anthropic shipped Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 with same-day availability across Snowflake, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry, pricing at $10 and $50 per million tokens. The hyperscaler-neutral distribution strategy lands ahead of Anthropic's anticipated IPO. The models represent a real step up in research capability over Opus 4.8, but they come with a significant change. Users no longer have the option to opt out of data sharing with Anthropic, a shift some enterprises, including Microsoft, are already responding to. (The Decode) Is SpaceX a Once-in-a-Generation Entry or the Top of the Market? One side argues SpaceX represents a generational opportunity on par with early Amazon or Netflix, with interplanetary travel and off-world resource extraction as the long-term payoff that justifies looking past current valuation math. The other side argues this is peak euphoria: a company trading at roughly 95 times sales, propped up in part by circular investment from Google into both SpaceX and its AI segment, with a steep drawdown likely before any sustained climb. (The Flip) The Chip and Security Trade Reverses From Broken to Bifurcated: The semiconductor sector posted its biggest single-day gain since 2020, with the SOX up 5% on Monday, June 8, as a prior selloff in names like Broadcom, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks fully reversed. Intel rose 12%, Marvell 10%, and Corning 7%. The rebound reframes the AI trade narrative from a broad breakdown to a split between winners and laggards within the same sector. (Bulls & Bears) Oracle Posts a Record Quarter, But the Market Focuses on a $50 Billion Funding Plan: Oracle delivered record revenue of $19.2 billion, up 21 %, with EPS of $2.11, beating estimates of $1.89. IaaS grew 93 %, the fastest pace among hyperscalers, and RPO hit $638 billion, up $85 billion quarter over quarter, including $75 billion in AI contracts. FY27 guidance of $90 billion was maintained, and EPS guidance was raised, yet the stock fell 5% after hours amid concerns about Oracle's capital spending plans. Oracle's AI cloud backlog now exceeds those of AWS, Google, and Microsoft, built heavily on commitments from Anthropic and OpenAI. (Bulls & Bears) Micron's Profit Trajectory Puts It in Google's Earnings Tier: Micron is projected to generate nearly as much profit in 2027 as Google, with Q2 revenue of $23.86 billion, up 22 % and beating estimates, and Q3 guidance of $33.5 billion in revenue, $19.15 EPS, and 81 % gross margin. The stock is up 776%, with Wall Street firms, including UBS, raising price targets. The open question is whether memory has broken its historically cyclical pattern given sustained AI demand. (Bulls & Bears) Adobe Beats Across the Board, But the Stock Drops on CEO Departure and Freemium Pivot: Adobe posted record revenue of $6.62 billion, up 13 % and beating consensus of $6.45 billion, with non-GAAP EPS of $5.96, topping estimates of $5.81. AI first ARR tripled year over year to over $500 million, with total ARR reaching $27.1 billion, and FY26 guidance was raised. The stock still fell 5.5 % after hours, driven by the CFO's departure to Marvell and market concern over a strategic shift toward freemium pricing that delays near-term profitability.

In this special re-release of Episode #2, Corinna Bellizzi revisits an early conversation with social change strategist Genevieve Smith that feels remarkably relevant today. Show Notes: What if the choices we make every day, from the words we use to the conversations we avoid, are shaping the world more than we realize? Originally recorded during a period of heightened social and political tension, this discussion explores how our values show up in our actions, why "nothing is neutral," and how we can engage in difficult conversations without sacrificing either accountability or compassion. Genevieve shares practical insights for navigating disagreements around race, gender, faith, politics, and social change while remaining connected to our shared humanity. Together, Corinna and Genevieve examine the challenges of values alignment, both in our personal lives and within organizations, and discuss how humor, curiosity, and self-awareness can help us build bridges across difference. As public discourse grows increasingly polarized, this conversation offers a timely reminder that meaningful change often begins with our willingness to listen, learn, and stay engaged. In This Episode:  What Genevieve means by being a "professional bummer" Why difficult conversations are necessary for meaningful social change How compassion differs from endorsement The concept that "nothing is neutral" and how it applies to everyday life Finding common ground across political, social, and cultural differences Why accountability should not be confused with punishment The role of humor in lowering defenses and opening minds How organizations can align business practices with stated values The importance of defining what values like integrity, inclusion, and equity actually mean Practical ways to engage more thoughtfully with people who see the world differently Key Takeaways: Every action—and every inaction—communicates values. Whether we're making decisions as individuals, leaders, consumers, or organizations, our choices have consequences that extend beyond ourselves. Genevieve argues that meaningful progress requires both courage and humility: the courage to engage difficult topics and the humility to recognize that we all have more to learn. By approaching disagreements with curiosity instead of a desire to win, we create opportunities for understanding, accountability, and growth. This episode is an invitation to examine how our values show up in our daily lives and to consider how we might contribute to a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable future. GUEST BIO: Genevieve Smith is an independent consultant specializing in organizational behavior, social change, values alignment, and systems transformation. She works with international NGOs, corporate leaders, mission-driven organizations, and communities to connect people, ideas, and strategies in service of more equitable systems and outcomes. Genevieve began her career as a data analyst within a disability services organization, where she discovered that meaningful impact could not be measured without aligning data practices to mission and values. Since then, she has helped organizations design business practices, cultures, and decision-making frameworks that reflect their purpose—not the other way around. Known affectionately as a "professional bummer," Genevieve helps individuals and organizations navigate uncomfortable but necessary conversations that lead to deeper understanding, stronger values alignment, and more effective social change.

In this solo episode of Wild & Waking, I'm sharing what it feels like to finally experience identity integration after a long season of uncertainty, darkness, and personal unraveling. After months of navigating postpartum life, spiritual deconstruction, motherhood, business shifts, and the messy middle of becoming, I'm reflecting on the quiet but powerful “wins” that show us we are no longer just intellectually understanding our growth, but we are actually embodying it. This episode is a call forward for anyone who feels like they're still in the cave, still questioning everything, or still wondering if the hard season will ever end.We talk about what integration looks like in real life: decorating your home in a way that finally reflects your soul, letting yourself be seen, reclaiming self-expression after years of good girl conditioning, and choosing the full-color life instead of the safe, neutral version that once felt acceptable. From crystals on the dining room shelf to dreams of pink hair, tattoos, and wearing the shirt that feels just a little too bold, this episode explores the everyday ways we begin to stop hiding our truth and start living as the woman we have been becoming.If you are in a season of transition, healing, deconstruction, or identity evolution, let this episode be a gentle but honest reminder: winter does not last forever. There will come a time when your truth no longer feels like something you have to hide. There will come a time when self-expression feels as natural as breathing. And there will come a time when you realize you are no longer choosing neutral; you are living, creating, believing, and becoming in full color.In this episode, I explore:What identity integration actually looks and feels like after a season of uncertainty, unraveling, and darknessWhy integration is not just understanding something intellectually, but embodying it in your daily life, choices, home, voice, and self-expressionReflections from the Bloomfire retreat, including Reiki, Beltane ceremony, release rituals, sisterhood, and the power of being witnessed in your becomingThe moment when a new truth stops feeling like borrowed language and starts feeling like something you can speak, live, and breathe with easeReclaiming color, creativity, magic, and self-expression after years of good girl conditioning and fear of being judgedThe grief, rage, frustration, and healing that can surface when old versions of you would have dismissed your own needsHow belief systems, religion, politics, family roles, and cultural expectations can become cages we no longer have to live insideThe hope that comes from realizing winter does not last forever, and the hard season will not always feel so dark or disorientingThe magic of doing identity evolution, spiritual deconstruction, and personal transformation inside supportive communityA loving invitation to stop hiding your truth, stop choosing neutral, and begin living your own full-color lifeBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Sign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More

The trial environment is charged — high stakes, deep caring, outcomes nobody can fully control — and that energy is ambient. You're absorbing it whether you realize it or not. But here's the part that's harder to sit with: you're contributing to it too. This episode is about co-regulation, what you're actually broadcasting in a high-stakes environment, and how to show up to a trial consciously instead of just reacting to whatever's in the air.

In this episode, portfolio manager Steven Visscher covers how Mawer's balanced portfolios navigated 2025 and how they are positioned in 2026. With a war-driven energy shock on one side and an AI investment boom on the other, the market is pulling in two directions at once. Steven walks through what that means for asset mix, where the team is seeing signs of investor complacency, and why cracks in private credit could soon create a meaningful opportunity.   Key Takeaways: Two forces are competing for market direction in 2026: a war-driven energy shock from the conflict in Iran pushing inflation and rates higher, and a broadening AI investment boom driving strong earnings momentum across the global economy. AI capital investment has expanded well beyond the hyperscalers to include memory, storage, cooling, data centres, and electrical grid infrastructure, with more than 80% of S&P 500 Q1 reporters beating earnings expectations. Current positioning remains close to neutral at 60% equity, with a continued underweight to U.S. equities in favour of international and emerging markets. Valuations, interest rates, and investor psychology all support staying close to that neutral stance. Cracks in private credit are emerging through rising defaults and client redemption gating. The team is building global credit exposure gradually and is prepared to deploy capital more aggressively when a dislocation occurs. In an environment of competing forces and mixed signals, staying diversified, maintaining valuation discipline, and building portfolios that can withstand multiple scenarios remains the priority.   Host: Andrew Johnson, CFA Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Steven Visscher, CFA Investment Counsellor   This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.

Motheo Khoaripe speaks to Pregan Naidoo, Head of Purchasing and Foreign Trade at MAHLE South Africa about why Africa’s mobility future may look very different from the rest of the world. As global markets accelerate towards electric vehicles, MAHLE argues that a technology-neutral approach, one that embraces internal combustion engines, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles and hydrogen technologies is better suited to Africa’s unique realities.

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: Religion IS Political [Part VII of VII]This final episode of this series is our response to the point of view that Jesus did not ‘get political'. Jesus (and each of us) cannot avoid being political. We state our “politics” with each stance to either uphold or resist dominator hierarchies. And Jesus' whole ministry can be defined by resistance to any system that placed the life of any human being over the life of any other human being. Listen to this episode to answer for yourself the following questions: Did the actual Jesus of Nazareth embody radical love for all human beings and speak strongly and often about very "political" topics?  Or did claim neutrality in a way that left those of his time uncertain about how he felt about authoritarian power structures and their treatment of "the least of these"? Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Series Finale02:06 Recap of Episodes One to Six05:01 Liberation Jesus or Empire Mascot06:42 Scripture Lenses and Competing Jesuses08:47 Jesus of Nazareth vs Christ of Empire12:48 Refusing Power and Inner Kingdom20:30 Flattening Margins and Social Norms27:58 Good Samaritan and Bad Laws Today34:42 Challenging Religious Gatekeeping40:05 Taking Jesus Name Through Action43:23 Love Over Fear God Image47:06 Closing Thanks and Fellowship InviteSupport the showSupport the showJoin The Live FellowshipListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website

Tipping our caps College Baseball playoff format Is the proposed CFP insane? Neutral sight games, yay or nay?

The crisis of our age is not merely political, economic, or cultural. It is historical. We no longer know how to distinguish truth from narrative, fact from interpretation, or God's story from man's.

Tony O'Donoghue, RTÉ Soccer Correspondent; Stuart Gilhooley, solicitor for the PFAI and Sinead Gibney, Social Democrat spokesperson on Sport

The Republic of Ireland's home UEFA Nations League fixture with Israel is likely to be moved to a neutral venue.Joining Shane to discuss this is Ben Symes, Football Reporter for Off The Ball.

The crisis of our age is not merely political, economic, or cultural. It is historical. We no longer know how to distinguish truth from narrative, fact from interpretation, or God's story from man's.

Inteligencia Artificial: “no es neutral”. Una frase que abre una conversación profunda sobre el poder, el control tecnológico, los llamados “amos del mundo” y el futuro de la humanidad frente a una herramienta que ya está transformando nuestra vida, nuestra forma de pensar y hasta nuestra libertad.¿La IA será una aliada del ser humano o una herramienta de control global? ¿Quién decide qué información vemos, qué creemos y hacia dónde camina nuestra sociedad? En este episodio hablamos sin filtros de los riesgos, las advertencias espirituales, las implicaciones éticas y el papel que tendrán la tecnología, la conciencia y la humanidad en los próximos años.Además, abrimos una reflexión muy personal: ¿seguir o no seguir con Noche de Lluvia? Una pregunta importante para esta comunidad que ha caminado durante años en medio del misterio, la reflexión y las experiencias extraordinarias.Prepárate para una conversación intensa, necesaria y reveladora.#Papa, #InteligenciaArtificial, #IA, #NoEsNeutral, #AmosDelMundo, #ControlGlobal, #Vaticano, #Misterio, #NocheDeLluvia, #lourdesgomez

Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Repeals the Gold ClauseOn this day in 1933, Congress passed the Joint Resolution that voided the gold clauses written into nearly every long-term contract and bond obligation in the United States, both public and private. The resolution declared that any provision purporting to require payment “in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency” was “against public policy,” and that obligations could be discharged dollar for dollar in whatever legal tender currency was in force at the time of payment. It was a remarkable act of legislative power: a one-paragraph statute that rewrote the payment terms of millions of existing contracts overnight, in the middle of the Great Depression, to make Franklin Roosevelt's recent abandonment of the gold standard actually stick. The Supreme Court took up the inevitable challenge two years later in the Gold Clause Cases — Norman v. Baltimore & Ohio, Nortz v. United States, and Perry v. United States — and in February 1935 it upheld the resolution as applied to private contracts by a 5-4 vote, while telling the United States, in Perry, that it had violated its own contractual word in repudiating gold-payment promises on government bonds, but that the bondholder had suffered no compensable injury. The doctrinal residue of that compromise is still with us: Congress can use its monetary powers to alter private contract terms retroactively when monetary policy requires it, the rule that has quietly underwritten every major monetary intervention since, from Bretton Woods to the post-2008 emergency lending programs. June 5 is not a day most lawyers mark on the calendar, but the resolution Congress passed on this date is one of the cleanest examples in American law of a legislature using its enumerated powers to dissolve a contract term that had been considered, until that moment, untouchable.The Supreme Court on Thursday handed Hikma Pharmaceuticals — and the entire generic drug industry — a 9-0 win in a case that had been hanging over the so-called “skinny label” pathway for years. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, writing for a unanimous Court in Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma, Inc., held that Amarin, the maker of the brand-name fish-oil drug Vascepa, had not plausibly alleged that Hikma actively induced infringement of Amarin's patents covering a still-patented cardiovascular use of the drug. The skinny label is a feature of Hatch-Waxman generic-drug law that lets a generic manufacturer copy only the unpatented uses of a brand drug by literally carving the patented uses out of its FDA-approved label, which is supposed to let cheaper generics reach the market for the unpatented indications even while patents on other indications are still in force. Brand companies have been trying for years to sue around that carve-out under the active inducement statute, 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), by pointing to generic press releases, marketing language, or website descriptions and arguing that doctors could read those statements as encouragement to prescribe the generic for the still-patented use. The Federal Circuit had bought a version of that argument and revived Amarin's case. The Supreme Court rejected that approach, and the test that Justice Jackson articulated is meaningful: the question is not how doctors might interpret what a generic manufacturer said, but whether the manufacturer itself actively encouraged the infringing use. Neutral statements that could be read as instructions to infringe do not count. The practical effect is to shore up the skinny label pathway and make it harder for brand companies to weaponize induced infringement against generic competition. The decision was originally framed as a pharmaceutical-industry case, but its inducement standard will reach across patent law generally and into every industry where § 271(b) gets litigated.It's unanimous: SCOTUS agrees with Hikma in ‘skinny label' case vs. Amarin | Fierce PharmaAlso unanimous on Thursday: the Supreme Court in Sripetch v. SEC held that the Securities and Exchange Commission can obtain disgorgement of a wrongdoer's ill-gotten gains without having to prove that any individual investor lost money. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 9-0 Court, which is itself a small surprise given the Court's recent pattern of skepticism toward broad SEC remedial powers. The case came out of a penny-stock pump-and-dump scheme that Ongkaruck Sripetch ran across some 20 small companies — buy shares quietly, promote them aggressively, sell into the bubble — and the SEC won an order requiring him to disgorge roughly $3 million. Sripetch's argument on appeal was that disgorgement is supposed to be tied to investor harm, that the SEC had not shown specific pecuniary losses traceable to him, and that the order was therefore not the kind of equitable relief the Court approved in its 2020 Liu v. SEC decision. The Court disagreed, on traditional equity principles: disgorgement, the Court explained, is measured by the defendant's unjust gain, not the plaintiff's quantified loss, and equity has always been willing to strip a wrongdoer of profit even when the victim cannot mathematically prove harm. The practical importance for the SEC is enormous — the agency reports collecting roughly $1.4 billion in disgorgement in fiscal 2025 alone, and a contrary ruling would have forced the SEC into an evidentiary burden that pump-and-dump and insider-trading cases are notoriously bad at supplying. The opinion is also a reminder that the Court's recent administrative-state skepticism is not all in one direction: when the question is grounded in old equity doctrine, the same justices who narrowed SEC adjudication in Jarkesy are willing to leave the agency's remedial toolkit intact.US Supreme Court Backs SEC in Fight Over ‘Disgorgement' Power | US NewsThe third and most constitutionally significant of Thursday's rulings was FCC v. AT&T, in which the Supreme Court upheld 8-1 the Federal Communications Commission's longstanding practice of imposing forfeiture penalties on regulated carriers through its own in-house process, without first giving the carrier a jury trial. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority, with Justice Clarence Thomas the lone dissenter. The case grew out of the FCC's headline-making fines against AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint for selling access to real-time customer location data to third parties without consent — fines that ran nearly $200 million across the four carriers, with AT&T's portion at $57 million and Verizon's at $46.9 million. The carriers challenged the fines on Seventh Amendment grounds, arguing that the Court's 2024 decision in SEC v. Jarkesy — which struck down the SEC's in-house adjudication of securities-fraud penalties as a violation of the jury-trial right — should reach FCC forfeitures too. The Court said no, on a structural distinction that matters: an FCC forfeiture order is not self-executing. The FCC cannot collect on its own. If a carrier refuses to pay, the matter is referred to the Justice Department, which then has to file a civil action in federal district court — a proceeding in which the carrier is entitled to a full jury trial and the government has to prove the violation de novo, with no deference to the FCC's findings. That collection-stage jury trial, Roberts wrote, is enough to satisfy the Seventh Amendment, even though the agency itself first issues the penalty. Justice Thomas's dissent argued the in-house process is no less coercive than the SEC adjudication the Court rejected in Jarkesy and would have extended Jarkesy here. The practical takeaway: agency in-house penalty proceedings survive after Jarkesy if there is a real, downstream jury-trial backstop. Expect every regulator with a similar two-step enforcement structure to point to this opinion the next time someone tries to push Jarkesy further.Court rules against cell service providers over right to jury trial in FCC proceedings | SCOTUSblog This is a public episode.

https://teachhoops.com/ Episode Title: How Do You Stop the One-Mistake Spiral Before It Destroys a Game? Every coach has seen it: one mistake turns into two, body language collapses, and a player checks out mentally. This episode gives you a simple, repeatable system to stop the spiral in real time—without speeches, posters, or “shake it off” coaching. You'll learn how to train the reset like a skill so it shows up when the game gets tight. Why most players spiral after mistakes (and why motivation doesn't fix it long-term) The “micro-focus” method that shrinks pressure down to the next playable moment How to install one program-wide reset cue (“Next,” “Neutral,” or WIMC) A simple breathing tool that helps players regain control in high-pressure moments How to clean up self-talk so it becomes a weapon, not a liability A scrimmage scoring twist that rewards “resets” instead of points Players don't lack toughness—they lack a system for adversity. When pressure hits, the brain narrows, focus shrinks, and mistakes compound because there's no reset protocol to return to neutral. 1) Shrink the moment Train players to focus on the next controllable action: next play, next stop, next box out, next sprint back. 2) Use one reset cue Pick one cue for the entire program (ex: “Next,” “Neutral,” WIMC = What's In My Control). Train it daily so it becomes automatic. 3) Practice calm on purpose Use breathing as a skill, not a suggestion: box breathing (4-4-4-4) and the late-game quick reset (4 in, 8 out). 4) Replace negative self-talk with action cues Teach athletes to identify the negative thought and replace it with one short physical cue (ex: “Strong hands,” “Stay low,” “Talk early,” “See the rim”). Short live play segments (ex: two-minute games) where teams earn points for responding correctly after mistakes: sprint back, communicate, execute the next right decision. No points for complaining, blaming, or bad body language. When you see the spiral starting: don't lecture. Name the reset, get one breath, demand communication, and run one clean action to create a quick win (stop, rebound, quality shot). Pick ONE reset cue today. Train it for 30 days. Build it into the first three minutes of practice. When the lights come on, your team won't rise to the moment—they'll fall to their training.

Why This Episode MattersYuval has a rare profile in the quantum industry: an M.Sc. in physics from Tel Aviv University, an MBA from Kellogg, two decades as a CEO and CMO in deep tech before quantum, and now the commercial lead at QuEra — the company whose neutral-atom architecture is colocated with NVIDIA H100s inside Japan's ABCI-Q supercomputer and just demonstrated 96 logical qubits from 448 physical atoms in Nature. He also hosts The Superposition Guy's Podcast and has just published Quantum Bits, a comic-book guide to quantum computing.This is a crossover conversation — Sebastian's book A New Quantum Era came out the same week — so the episode reads as two practitioners comparing their explanatory strategies, their reading of the modality race, and their honest forecasts for when a quantum computer becomes genuinely non-simulatable. If you want a candid look at how the commercial side of quantum thinks about hardware timelines, error-correction overhead, and the work of translating physics into procurement, this is the episode.SponsorThis episode is brought to you by Outshift, Cisco's incubation engine.

It's science fiction until it isn't."On the modality timeline (Yuval, paraphrasing Vladan Vuletić): Eighteen months ago Vladan was confident about neutral atoms for the next five years. Six months ago, after recent results, that confidence horizon stretched to ten.On what actually matters: "Obviously what matters is time to solution and not clock speed." Yuval's core rebuttal to the standard critique that neutral-atom gates are slow.On the error-correction compression: A recent Harvard result showed the physical-to-logical qubit ratio for quantum memory dropping toward roughly 2:1 — not the thousand-to-one figure that dominates most public discourse.On the takeaway from his book (Yuval): "Quantum is magical, but it's not magic."Related EpisodesEpisode 18 — Neutral atom arrays with Alex Keesling of QuEra Computing — Sebastian's earlier conversation with QuEra's CEO on the foundational technology.

Question of Ethics: A Conversation of Courts and Ethics:June 2nd Court ManagerThis episode of the Question of Ethics Conversation examines a fundamental ethical challenge facing court professionals today: how are their ethical responsibilities evolving inan age of social media with an increasingly politicization? Canon Four of the Model Code focuses on conduct that is unmistakably political: attending campaign rallies, canvassing for judges running for election, or advocating for ballot initiatives within the courthouse. We now operate in a landscape where nearly every issue is viewed through a political lens. Statements that once would have been considered civic, educational, or banal are now often interpreted as partisan. Today, they can trigger assumptions of perceived bias.At its core, Canon Four rests on a critical assumption: that court professionals can maintain a private sphere in which they exercise their First Amendment rights, separate from their official role. Nearly 40 years later, that assumption is severely strained.In an era defined by social media and the always-on visibility of the digital world, personal expression is no longer private. Opinions, political or otherwise, are broadcast instantly, permanently, and often without context. Anonymity isfragile at best. Even attempts to separate identities through pseudonyms or multiple accounts are increasingly common and increasingly ineffective. This episode does not claim to offer definitive answers. Instead, it confronts the complexity of the moment and frames questions that court professionals and the professionitself, must now grapple with:        Can we, as court professionals, realistically be held accountable for navigating an ever-expanding universe of “political” issues, even down to opinions aboutcultural events or entertainment? ·              To what extent can we express our personal views without creating a perception of bias that undermines public trust? ·                                       How do we reconcile widely differing ethical standards across jurisdictions, roles, and court systems?   What emerges is not just an ethics question, but a question of professional survival and institutional trust. One possible path forward is not to attempt an ever-expanding list of prohibitions, but to shift toward practical, principle-based guidance. This could include developing best practices, strengthening commentary within the Code, and emphasizing leadership judgment, mentorship, and open dialogue. Above all, the goal remains constant: to ensure that court professionals, regardless of personal beliefs, are perceived as fair, impartial, and worthy of the public's trust.

Curt Cignetti's comments about the rising cost of college football recruiting sparked a bigger conversation about NIL, revenue sharing, and whether the current system is sustainable for Indiana and the rest of the sport.On this episode of CrimsonCast, Galen Clavio breaks down what Cignetti was really getting at, why the high school recruiting market is so difficult to price, and how IU football is still building momentum with major commitments like Myles Smith and Mason McDermott. Then we shift to Indiana basketball's November schedule, including the Kentucky game at Lucas Oil Stadium, Syracuse at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and what neutral-site games mean for IU fans, season-ticket holders, and the future of college sports scheduling.Subscribe and follow CrimsonCast for smart, direct conversation on Indiana Hoosiers football, IU basketball, and the changing world of college athletics.

When leaders ask "why," they often get defensiveness instead of dialogue, even when that's not what they intended. In this episode, David Wheatley explores why the word "why" tends to put people on the front foot and shares a simple language shift that changes the whole tone: replacing "why" with "what's causing that?" It's a small swap, but it opens conversations that might otherwise close down. Humanergy is a leadership development firm dedicated to practical, human-centered leadership.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our sample game we look at playing as Austria and aiming for a Diplomatic Victory. And our focus is on puppeting Citty-States, but be I misunderstood and instead of making a Diplomatic Victory easier, it makes it harder. I still managed to get my Diplomatic Victory, but a Science or Domination Victory would definitely have been easier in this scenario. Playing Civilization V, Part 12 A Diplomatic Victory Strategy Civilization V introduced a new Victory type and I thought it might be fun to try this strategy for a sample game to see broadly how this would work. I decided I would play as Austria on Prince level, which means that all players are equal and no one is favored. For my map I chose Fractal, Map Size = Standard, Game speed = Standard. My only Advanced Option was Quick Combat, because I didn't need to see that drawn out, particularly since I plan to avoid combat as much as necessary. My leader is Maria Theresa, and her Austria has a unique ability called Diplomatic Marriage. This allows us to either Annex or Puppet any city-state that has been allied to us for 5 turns with the proper expenditure of Gold. My plan was to use this to Puppet the city-states to control their votes for the Diplomatic Victory, but that was a misunderstanding. I actually implemented one of the hardest ways to win a Diplomatic Victory. But that is what I did. Now to get them to ally with me the most effective way to do this is with cash and lots of it, and of course even more cash to actually effect to Puppeting of them. So my overriding objective in this game is to amass a large Treasury. But of course I cannot ignore my military either, since a weak military invites attacks form greedy neighbors. And I may need to “liberate” the occasional city-state if another player conquers them. Austria also has a Unique Unit, the Hussar, which replaces the Cavalry unit. It can move after attacking, has a flanking bonus, and has one extra movement. And the Unique Building is the Coffee House, which increases the generation of Great People in the city by 25%. So you can expect me to build these in every city as well. With that in mind, I started the game and settled in place, I had Mountains nearby, but also Sheep and Silver within my city, so some useful resources. I immediately started to produce a Scout as my first unit, and sent my Warrior out to explore. In the very early stage I focus on exploring the surrounding area and finding any Goody Huts, i.e. Ruins. My initial city site is not exactly ideal, as it is all hilly with Jungle nearby. After building my two Scouts, my next priority was to build a Worker unit to increase the productivity of my city. And for my first social policy I unlocked Tradition. When I got my second policy I picked Oligarchy, and plan to complete all of the Tradition tree. I cleared out a Barbarian encampment, and then discovered my first City-state, Vilnius. Then I needed to clear out another Barbarian encampment that was blocking me from finishing my exploration. Meanwhile I am focusing on getting techs for sailing the ocean blue, because that is how I plan to get trade routes, discover City-states I can puppet, and so on. Because money is key to my strategy I made a beeline for Currency in the my Science research. And while headed there I completed the Tradition tree. When I can get there I will work on the Commerce tree to maximize my cash, but until then the Patronage tree will let me improve my City-state relations, which is important for improving my relationships with City-states. After all, you need to be allies with them for 5 turns before you can puppet them. I now have three cities, and can probably squeeze out a few more, which should be sufficient to my needs. At Turn 141 I have 6 cities, which is all I will build in this game. I now have the technology to build Workshops, which are the first productivity boosters available, so I set all my cities to building them. For Research my immediate object was to get to Compass so I could build the Galleass, which would let me do more ocean exploration. But to go into deep Ocean I will need to go further to get Astronomy, which will let me build the Caravel which can enter deep ocean. Once I got that I switched to Banking, not just for the money, but as a prerequisite to building the Forbidden Palace, which grants two additional delegates in the World Congress/United Nations. When I get Banking I'll go back to Astronomy, and then Navigation, to advance my seagoing capabilities. By Turn 216 I had gotten Banking and started on the Forbidden Palace. And by luck, just as I got started I got a Great Engineer. I am holding him in reserve in case I need to hurry production, since Great Engineers are the only way to do that in Civ 5. I also picked up Astronomy, which will let me build Caravels to explore the whole ocean. My next research priority will be Gunpowder since it is time to beef up my defenses. At Turn 240 my Caravels started to come out, and I found several new City-States. And since my Treasury is healthy (I started with 6,000 gold, and I'm bringing in 100 each turn), I began the process of puppeting the City-states. Puppeting City-states as Austria Let's look at this in detail since it is important. The requirements are 2 things: Be allied with the City-state for 5 consecutive turns Have the cash needed. This amount is not too much early on, but it rises over time. So, how do you become allies with a City-state? There are a number of things you can do to improve your relationship. You can take on a quest that a City-state has published, which can be things like “Find another Natural Wonder” or “Create a Great Admiral”. These quests pop up continuously throughout the game, and you are free to ignore them, but fulfilling one will improve your relationship. Trade will also improve your relationship, so in this game all of my Trade routes were made with City-states. If you are in a position to have a successful war, you can find a former City-state that was conquered by one of the other Empires, liberate it, and then it will be your ally for the rest of the game. Giving them presents is how I usually do it, though. You can give them units or money. If your purpose is to get allies, money works best. But I do gift units in 2 circumstances. First, if I have obsolete units, giving them away might be better then deleting them. Second, if a City-state is under attack by another Empire. Gifting them units might help them hold out and make life difficult for a rival. The place where all of this is done is the City-state screen which opens up when you click on the bar above the City-state, which is where you handle all of your relationships. At the top of this screen you see your current status, which more often than not will be Neutral, which is how all City-state relationships start out. But you can get them angry by, for instance, moving a unit of your into their territory. If you only do it once, and give them time to get over it, they will go back to Neutral. You can also improve the relationship by pledging to protect them, but be careful. If they get attacked and you do not try to protect them, they will get very angry. Giving a gift opens a pop-up to say what kind of gift: 250 gold, 500 gold, 1000 gold, or a Unit. Note that a Unit is only worth 5 influence points, while 250 Gold is worth 20, so as I said Money is more powerful if your aim is to improve your status with them. So at Turn 242 I found the City-state of Singapore, and it appears that I was the first Empire to find them. So I immediately pledged to protect them. My Influence with them was 20, which is Neutral. We just met, and that is where things stand on first meeting. The be Friends you need to get to 30, and to be allies you need to get to 60. When I clicked Next Turn, I got a Quest from Singapore. They were worried about a Barbarian Encampment nearby, and if I cleared it out I would get additional influence with them. In this case, though, I let that go by. I want to move more quickly, and Singapore is across the Ocean from me. My influence with them at this point was 21, so only a modest increase. But I have 6038 Gold in my Treasury, and I am bringing in 102 per turn. So let's see what a gift of 500 Gold will do. It brings me to 65 influence, so we are now Allies. But when I mouse-over Singapore, the pop-up window reminds me that my Influence will decrease by 1.12 per turn. For an Empire other than Austria this would mean a regular infusion of cash to keep up your status. And I have won Diplomatic victories with other Empires by saving up a lot of cash and dumping it on City-states just before the United Nations vote. But for Austria you have special ability called Diplomatic Marriage that lets you turn the City-state into a Puppet, and that is permanent. But it also presents some obstacles as we will see. We are allies now, but my influence will drop by 1 each turn, and I might lose my allyship before I can puppet them. But I can gift a unit and get another 5, and I happen to have a very obsolete Warrior unit that will serve the purpose. However, it takes three turns for the Unit to arrive, so I lose few more points. At Turn 247 I can now use the diplomatic Marriage option to make a puppet of Singapore. Prior to doing this I was fourth in score with 604, while the leader had 729. My Happiness Level was +25, and I now had 5833 Gold in my Treasury. Then I made Singapore a puppet, and now I am third in the game with a score of 664. My Treasury has fallen to 5258, which means it cost me 575 Gold. But most significant is that my Happiness fell from +25 to +9, which is a huge loss. I have enough gold to puppet 4-5 more City-states at this time but if I did I would have rebellions breaking out and my Empire would eventually collapse. This is the obstacle that Austria has to face. We need to promote Happiness before we go much further with making puppets. Civ is always a game of balances.

Episode Summary “Losers limp” isn't about insulting kids. It's about naming a real basketball truth: bad body language after mistakes costs possessions, and possessions cost games. This episode breaks down how coaches can eliminate the “limp” after missed shots, turnovers, and bad calls by training a simple standard: Sprint. Talk. Reset. The mistake isn't what kills you The response is what kills you Jogging back, blaming refs, hanging heads, and going silent turns one mistake into three Most teams don't get beat by better plays. They get beat in the moments right after mistakes—transition defense, communication, and the ability to reset. 1) Sprint back on change Every time, not “most of the time” Transition defense is the heartbeat of your program 2) Talk on the way back Find the ball, find the basket, find your match If players can't talk when tired, they won't talk when it matters 3) Reset fast Choose one cue word: “Next,” “Neutral,” etc. Make it your identity and use it consistently A short-live segment (2 minutes) where you score the response, not the basket: Sprint + talk after mistakes = win the possession Jogging, complaining, head down = point for the other team This turns “effort” into a measurable standard. “You can make mistakes. You can't make slow mistakes.” “You can miss a shot. You cannot limp back.” “Champions don't avoid mistakes. They reset faster than everyone else.” Body language is a habit, not a personality trait Habits can be trained through standards + consequences Reward the response, not just the result The best teams aren't perfect—they just don't break after mistakes Pick your cue word and install it this week. Demand sprint-back and talk-back in practice. Make the reset the standard—because winners respond, and champions reset.

Debt carries a huge emotional weight for many therapists. It's easy to look at student loans, credit cards, or even a mortgage and interpret them as evidence that you've done something wrong or fallen behind financially.Explore the idea with me that debt is not a moral issue—it's a financial tool. The more clearly you understand both the emotional meaning and the actual cost of debt, the easier it becomes to make grounded, strategic decisions about your finances instead of reacting from shame or panic.Download our Debt Payment Calculator, and use this free tool to zoom out on your debts, be curious about the cost of them, and explore the different ways you can manage and pay down your debts so that you can move forward in your business (and your life) with more lightness and ease.Ready to feel more calm and confident about your money? Do you feel confused, ashamed, or uncertain about your finances? Are you craving support to help shift your money mindset and transform your relationship with money?Are you ready to gain practical tools and the confidence you need to finally take control of your business finances?If so, I'd love for you to join me for one of my free online workshops, designed specifically for private practice owners who feel stuck—whether it's mindset blocks, avoidance, or the technical side of managing money.In just one hour together, you'll gain clarity, practical strategies, and next steps to move forward with intention.Click here to explore upcoming workshops and save your spot or register to get the replay.Separating the Numbers from the Shame Different types of debt tend to trigger very different emotional reactions. Having a mortgage is often framed as being responsible or successful, while credit card debt can bring up feelings of guilt or embarrassment, and student loans often hold a complicated mix of gratitude, frustration, resentment, or pride.It's important to recognize that these feelings are emotional interpretations—not objective truths about your worth or capability. Debt itself is neutral. It's simply a financial tool that allows you to access opportunities, resources, or necessities when cash isn't immediately available.Breaking down a debt to understand its true financial impact – including interest, repayment timelines, and opportunity cost – can replace uncertainty and overwhelm with clarity, helping you make more informed choices.Creating More Space for Intentional Financial Choices When you begin to see debt as a financial reality that can be planned over time, rather than treating it like a constant emergency, it becomes less stressful.(00:05:30) Exploring feelings about different debts(00:08:02) Evaluating the cost of debt(00:13:51) Using the debt calculator tool(00:15:56) Using money and debt wiselySeeing Debt in a Way That Supports Your Life There isn't a “correct” way to approach debt repayment. Some seasons call for aggressive payoff strategies, while others require more flexibility, stability, or quality of life.What matters most is understanding your options clearly enough to make decisions that reflect your actual values instead of reacting from fear or perfectionism. Debt may come with tradeoffs, but it does not determine your character—and it doesn't have to prevent you from building a financially healthy life.About Linzy Bonham:Linzy Bonham is a therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm, confident, and in control of their finances through her podcast, free workshops and comprehensive programs: Money Skills for Therapists and Money Skills for Group Practice Owners.It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business.

Abbie speaks with Anna Maltby — health journalist, personal trainer, and author of the How to Move newsletter — for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on the fitness industry. At the heart of this episode is: what does look like to rebuild a relationship with movement that isn't rooted in shrinking, earning food, or “fixing” your body?They talk about how fitness media manufactures insecurity to sell us solutions, what people are unlearning when they come to weight-neutral movement, why decoupling exercise from aesthetics can temporarily leave people unmotivated (and what to do about that), and why your squat is probably fine.Tune in for more on:* The “body as business card” problem in fitness and nutrition* How magazine cover lines were engineered to exploit seasonal body insecurities* Anna's origin story: from Eat This Not That to anti-diet fitness journalism* The Refinery29 moment that changed everything (shoutout to Kelsey Miller's Anti-Diet Project column)* What people are unlearning: trusting their bodies, eating before workouts, modifications that aren't lesser* Why losing aesthetic motivation can feel like losing all motivation, and how to find intrinsic intentions* The importance of where you are in recovery before reintroducing movement* How to experiment with movement without judging yourself on the first try* The “you're doing it wrong” trend and why it's harmful even in anti-diet spaces* Body diversity and squat mechanics (yes, really)For more from Anna: https://howtomove.substack.com/https://www.instagram.com/howannamoves/Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?
