Russell Hackmann discusses the importance of tax planning and his book, “Wall Street is Not Your Friend.” One of his contentions is that Wall Street is the “masters of hidden fees” aimed at investors with assets between $500K to the low millions. “A lot of people are overweight stocks and bonds,” he adds, “I'd rather buy a T-bill” than a bond fund. He also doesn't think private investments being pushed on retail investors are great ideas.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In today's culture, borrowing money and making purchases on credit is a way of life. It is the only way most of us are able to afford the “big ticket” items. In fact, many of us could not fathom how our lives would function if we were not able to utilize the credit system.  We borrow money, make payments with interest, pay off the loan and thus establish a sound financial history. This then becomes the basis for borrowing more money in the future. But what if this was not necessary? What if there was a different way? Have we become so deluded with our modern way of life that we are now trapped? So join me for E208 Why the 30 Year Mortgage is Not Your Friend.

Today's guest is Ken Middleton If you're a regular listener then you'll already know Ken and many of you have read his fabulous book which is called Bamboozled – How Alcohol Makes Fools of us all!" Kenis an interesting case because he didn't embark on this journey because he was worried about his alcohol dependence… he did it because he realised that alcohol was preventing him from reaching his potential As he says “even if alcohol doesn't destroy you it will prevent you from reaching your potential” How true! This is my actually my third podcast episode with Ken – You can listen to the other podcast episodes here and here   In this episode:- Ken started his sobriety journey by educating himself on the scientific effects of alcohol. There is such power in knowledge – the more we understand about the damage alcohol does the less we feel like drinking it! His drinking career was pretty typical – starting at college where he used it to fit in and socialize. His drinking then intensified during his sales career It was when he decided to become an entrepreneur that Ken realized the detrimental impact of alcohol on his productivity. He decided to take a 90-day break from drinking with his wife, to his surprise this period of sobriety led to a significant increase in his productivity and income. Two weeks into his sobriety, Ken read Annie Grace's "This Naked Mind" which changed his perspective on alcohol. This book helped him to recognize the spectrum of alcohol's effects, We agreed that society stigmatises the alcoholic to such an extent that we imagine an alcoholic to be a homeless man in the park – this gives us a reason to decide we are not “that bad” so we can carry on drinking! This suits the alcohol industry very well of course! Inspired by his journey, Ken wrote "Bamboozled" to share his experiences and educate others on the hidden dangers of alcohol. One of the things I love about his book is the stories he includes - alcohol parables like "Scott and Mitchell," illustrating how drinking choices in college can impact future success. Ken emphasizes the cognitive and emotional impairment caused by alcohol, affecting decision-making, learning, and long-term success – of course its especially harmful for young brains which are still developing Ken encourages his readers to consider the long-term effects on their lives and potential. He believes in running towards personal growth rather than away from alcohol, recognizing the multitude of benefits gained through sobriety.  I love this approach and see our members getting more and more motivated as the benefits of sobriety keep coming! Societal views on drinking are changing, with more and more young people abstaining - For example the latest stats from the UK tell us that 39% of 18-24 people just don't drink Another of Kens alcohol parables focuses on Sarah and Susan Susan's excessive drinking hinders her career growth, while Sarah's more moderate approach leads to promotion. Hollywood's portrayal of alcohol influences societal perceptions and behaviors – Ken has a whole chapter on this and its fascinating If you haven't yet read Bamboozled then you're missing out – it's a really great read, you can buy it from Amazon or you can get it directly from Ken on TheBamboozledBook.com Do check out his 90 day challenge that he mentioned – he's set up a website for that which is called https://www.dry90.com/ - I'll put the links in the shownotes You can also follow Ken on Instagram @kenmmiddleton and of course his regular newsletter is called Alcohol is Not Your Friend.

An enjoyable and enlightening conversation with Ken Middleton, author of   Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All and editor of a Medium Publication named AINYF, Alcohol is NOT Your Friend. 

Ken Makimsy Middleton is obsessed with helping people build the best versions of themselves. Ever since he experienced a tremendous turnaround from an entrepreneurial endeavor when he gave up alcohol on November 10th, 2018, his mission has been to help others realize alcohol is probably the one thing that is holding them back from realizing all of their dreams. He started the Medium publication, AINYF (Alcohol is NOT Your Friend) in May of 2020 for this reason, and is the author of the book Bamboozled – How Alcohol Lies to Us All, which exposes the subtle tactics and traps of alcohol and the alcohol industry, while also giving the reader the tools to overcome them.

Ken Makimsy Middleton joins the show. Ken is the editor of a Medium Publication named AINYF, Alcohol is NOT Your Friend and the author of upcoming book: Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All. He recognized alcohol was holding him back from living his best life and is passionate about giving individuals the tools to not only stop drinking but to begin building the best version of themselves. We chat about: What “alcohol consciousness” means The problem with Hollywood glamourizing drinking Why men are lagging behind women in the sober curious movement The four steps to change your drinking: mental re-engineering, diet improvement, exercise, and success seeking

The alcohol industry currently makes 1.8 trillion dollars annually and is projected to hit around 2.3 trillion by 2025. What most people think is that much of this alcohol is purchased by individuals who would be labeled as an alcoholic or someone with a problem.  What most don't realize, however, is that this group is only a very small percentage (less than 2%) of the world population. Also, it's this very thinking that protects the alcohol industry's profit and prevents people from looking at the one thing that could put it at risk - their casual “normal” drinking. Ken Makimsy Middleton is the founder of AINYF (Alcohol is NOT Your Friend), a Medium publication, dedicated to sharing science-based information to help individuals quit alcohol and begin building the very best version of themselves. He is also the author of the upcoming book, Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fool of Us All: The Guide to Getting EVERYTHING You Want in Life By Giving Up Alcohol, which exposes the ways alcohol holds us back from achieving our goals and gives a playbook on how to not only give it up, but also how to create a thriving life of holistic wellness.        3 top tips for my audience: 1. Educate yourself on what alcohol does to you physiologically and mentally. 2. Create a goal for your future self to accomplish that is SO BIG, you couldn't allow alcohol to be in your life to achieve it.  3. Never…ever…give up - every mistake is a lesson that will get you closer to the correct formula for you and ultimate success.  Social media and contact info.

Ken Makimsy Middleton is the editor of a Medium Publication named AINYF; Alcohol is NOT Your Friend. It's a publication focused on science-based strategies to help individuals change their relationship with alcohol and create the best version of themselves.    Ken coined the term alcohol-consciousness to represent his belief that one should not have to hit rock bottom or have a "problem" with alcohol to quit drinking. Instead, it's something that people should consider to live a more holistic and healthy lifestyle.   He's currently in the middle of a book project on the topic titled Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All, and we talk about some of his concepts from that book in this episode.   Topics covered in this episode include:   - Educating children on alcohol - The role that Hollywood plays in the ubiquitous nature of alcohol - Perception of value versus reality - The importance of drinking consciously and quitting consciously. - Filling the white space - Exercise - Diet - How alcohol plays a role in the mid-life crisis/awakening - How it's never too late to quit

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older: No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week. One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink. Abstinence from alcohol Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past. Benefits of “low-risk” drinking Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

In this clip, we catch up with repeat guest Dr Rebecca Michalak to discuss a recent article published in HRD Magazine titled "HR is Not Your Friend". Bec shares her thoughts on how the HR Function typically positions itself within an organisation, argues that this positioning is actually detrimental to both the business and its employees, and offers some suggestions about how HR can "get a seat at the table". https://www.hcamag.com/au/news/general/hr-is-not-your-friend/416868 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bystanders-rule-bullshit-cultures-voice-psychological-michalak/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-lies-beneath-why-psychological-injury-claims-tip-michalak/

8.20.21 - The Current Federal Leadership is Not Your Friend if You Are Fiscally Responsible

There's a time-bomb waiting in your IRA. Tax and IRA expert Ed Slott joins us today to share what the death of the Stretch IRA means for your retirement, and how the SECURE Act has made some big changes to the way your money is treated long after you're gone. Whether you have a partner, children, family, or any other dependents depending on your support, the last thing you need is complicated tax rules funneling money out of your portfolio. If you're the type of person who runs at the sound of a tax discussion, you may want to stick around for this one. Ed Slott breaks down what is often a monotonous subject into funny, easy-to-understand material. GME Resurgence, Cathie Wood, Stocks, and more. What in the world is going on with GameStop? No, that's not a misplaced sentence. Did you think the move three weeks ago was the end? Check the chart and be prepared for a surprise. Joining us today to talk GameStop's second resurgence, we welcome Spencer Israel from Benzinga. We'll also discuss Cathie Wood, the CEO of the largest actively-managed ETF in 2020 (among other distinctions), the bouncing markets, stock picks, and more. Uber (and any other service-economy app company) is NOT Your Friend. We normally make light of a financial TikTok on our Monday shows, and while we aren't changing that today, we're also shining some special light on one emotional video you've probably seen making its way across the web. Featuring a tearful Uber driver sharing his ordeal delivering almost an hour-long order only to ultimately make virtually no money on his delivery, the driver pleads with customers to understand what drivers go through and to tip appropriately. We agree with the driver on a big point: regardless of how you may feel about the current system, it is the system. If you're utilizing service labor, you need to tip appropriately or choose other manners of getting your product/need met. BUT, we use the video to shine an important light here. Uber's first priority is to the company shareholders, not to you as a customer or contractor. Great guests like Juliet Schor have already explained the how's and why's behind the large costs associated with the everyday worker in the sharing economy, but one's things for sure: when something isn't working for YOU, it's time to pivot. When is it the right time to make the leap to full-time business owner? We'll finish today's show with a Haven Life voicemail from caller Evan, who has some questions on jumping ship from the W2 life to full-time business owner. Up to this point, Evan and his family have reinvested all the money back into the business to keep it growing, and he asks: what should he know before taking the leap? Joe and OG give their two cents, and share a few resources along the way. Of course, we'll always leave some time for Doug's trivia. Enjoy!

Your Mind is Not Your Friend! It's not your enemy either. Think of it as a constant companion. It's something you live with. There are plenty of benefits of having a mind. It problem solves, makes plans, and uses logic and judgment to help you navigate your world. But the mind also judges us harshly too! . Often, we make no distinction between ourselves and what we’re thinking. From that viewpoint, our minds aren’t exactly to be trusted, or taken literally at every step of the way. Learn about a helpful acronym (F.E.A.R.) and the ways our minds get caught up in fusion, evaluation, avoidance, and reason-giving. Tune in to learn more about how to relate to your mind in a healthier way. . Looking to further your mindfulness practice? Check out the Mental Events mindfulness journal. It’s dedicated to examining the workability of the mind’s proposed solutions to problems, and offers an opportunity to step back from giving over your life to negative thoughts. .

Lots to talk about this week on the R&B podcast. We start off reflecting on Case's BET episode where he talks about his career. He mentions how his single "Not Your Friend" was sabotaged by Def Jam so that radio would play another artist, so we try to figure out who that artist is. We also look into new music from the likes of Jhene Aiko, Kiana Lede and Missy Elliott. We also try to figure out what's going on with Usher's new single with Ella Mai as it appears to be stalling on Urban Ac already. Lastly we look back at albums from two of our favorite groups: Jodeci and Boyz II Men. We also debate whether a Jodeci tour is necessary in 2020. 0:00:45 - Which artist was involved in the Case/Def Jam dispute? 0:11:30 - Looking ahead to Dru Hill's Unsung episode 0:13:40 - Predicting what the upcoming Missy Elliott and H.E.R. song will sound like 0:18:37 - The demand for new Missy Elliott music in 2020 0:20:18 - Us being called sexist because we didn't post Jhene Aiko's new song 0:25:52 - Realizing the year 2000 was 20 years ago 0:29:46 - What is going on with the promo for Usher/Ella Mai's single "Don't Waste My Time"? 0:39:21 - Looking at the venue sizes for Alicia Key's upcoming tour 0:43:33 - #SoulBack Album Of The Day: K-Ci & JoJo - Love Always 0:47:00 - Do we need a Jodeci reunion tour? 0:49:20 - #SoulBack Album Of The Day: Boyz II Men - Evolution

Not Your Friend by DJ Lutique

Regulation is a taboo subject in tech, an industry that so far has avoided the kind of oversight that governs finance, energy, and other major industries. But companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook have an enormous amount of influence over everything from how we shop to how we communicate. Concerns about this concentration of power have recently led to scathing op-ends with headlines like "Silicon Valley is Not Your Friend", and prompted some lawmakers to push for stronger regulation. The companies, on the other hand, insist that they can regulate themselves. We dig into it with five experts from media, government, and tech.

This week we talk to Jennifer Armbrust, founder and director of Sister. She cultivates teaching and tools for the feminine economy, practices embodied business, and runs Feminist Business School. Her work explores the collisions and collusions of art, business, gender, embodiment, and economics. In the news, our hosts Mara Zepeda (Switchboard) and Jennifer Brandel (Hearken) discuss "Silicon Valley is Not Your Friend" by Noam Cohen in the New York Times.
