    As 2026 approaches, the Taste Radio hosts explore why uncertainty may actually favor emerging food and beverage brands. From changing definitions of value and retailer innovation to AI-driven discovery and standout new products, the episode highlights where real opportunity is taking shape in CPG. Show notes: 0:25: NYE Scaries? Opps. Value ≠ Price. AI For Awareness. Creamy Hummus, Swedish Food & More. – The hosts reflect on year-end anxieties and optimism heading into 2026, discussing the realities of entrepreneurship, resilience through challenges, and reasons for confidence in the food and beverage industry. They highlight ongoing consumer demand for better-for-you products, opportunities created by regulatory changes like the removal of synthetic dyes, continued at-home eating, and strong spending despite economic uncertainty. The conversation emphasizes that consumers are unlikely to abandon healthier or premium choices once adopted, creating space for emerging brands to grow as legacy brands stagnate. They also note increased M&A activity, retailer openness to innovation, and the growing role of technology and AI in product discovery and brand awareness. The episode features tastings and discussions of innovative products, from creamy hummus and sparkling coconut water to plant-based cheese, cocktail mixers, functional meat sticks and Swedish candy.

Here is the slide deck. Here are the top 5 takeaways:* The Traditional Billable Hour Model Is Becoming Obsolete. AI automation is eliminating a significant portion of billable legal work—up to 75% for firms in the near future. This makes the traditional hourly billing model unsustainable, as tasks that once took hours can now be completed in minutes.* A Massive Latent Legal Market Exists. There is a huge, underserved market for legal services—estimated at $1.3 trillion in the U.S.—comprised of people and businesses who need legal help but are not currently served by lawyers, often due to lack of pricing transparency and affordability.* Subscription Models Offer Predictable Revenue and Better Access. Switching to a subscription-based legal service model provides clients with pricing certainty and allows lawyers to build sustainable practices with predictable revenue, improved client relationships, and better staff retention.* AI Should Be Used Thoughtfully and with the Right Tools. Lawyers should use multiple, purpose-built AI tools (not just general ones like ChatGPT) and always verify AI outputs with source documents. Retrieval-augmented generation and tools that provide citations are especially valuable for legal work.* Ethical and Professional Obligations Favor Efficiency and Transparency. Continuing to bill by the hour without leveraging AI may violate professional conduct rules against wasteful procedures. Embracing AI and subscription models aligns lawyer incentives with client needs and supports access to justice.__________________________Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

    Everyone else is "winding down." You're deciding whether next year is accidental… or intentional. In this timely end-of-year episode of PivotMe, April breaks down three powerful holiday pivots that separate small-business owners who strategically recharge from those who collapse into January already behind. This isn't about hustling through the holidays. It's about protecting margin, deepening connection, and quietly positioning your next big year while everyone else naps. If you want to close the year like a leader and step into the next one with clarity instead of chaos, this episode is your playbook. Part 1: The Gift of Margin Theme: Protect your time, energy, and profit before you gift them all away. December isn't the time for more strategy — it's the time for boundaries. April challenges listeners to audit their calendars, guard their best hours, and stop leaking energy through guilt-driven yeses. Key insight: A boundary isn't selfish — it's self-respect. And your brain needs protection if it's going to lead next year. Part 2: The Pivot of Gratitude and Connection Theme: Reflect on who helped you — and strengthen the relationships that carried you. Before charging into resolutions, April invites listeners to look back at the people who showed up this year — teammates, vendors, friends, and quiet supporters. Gratitude isn't soft. It's one of the strongest retention and leadership strategies you have. Part 3: The Holiday Business Pivot Theme: Prep your next year like the pros do while everyone else checks out. While most entrepreneurs mentally clock out in December, leaders quietly position their relaunch. April walks through: Reviewing the top 3 wins of the year Releasing dead offers, draining clients, and pointless expenses Resetting the story of how you want your business talked about next year Because the best Januarys are built in December. Pivot Point Takeaway Rest doesn't mean disengage. It means prepare with intention. Protect your margin. Practice gratitude. Position your relaunch. Want the checklist to walk this episode into real action?   ----------------

    Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're spotlighting the wisdom and creative spirit of Christine La Monte, who reminds us of the power of one simple word: yes. For Christine, saying yes has opened doors throughout her life and career — from directing plays to embracing unexpected film projects. One such opportunity is tied to her husband's book, Justice Deferred, which was once optioned by Warner Brothers and has now returned to her control. With screenwriter Laura Curran attached, Christine is actively pushing forward to bring it to life as a feature or series.Christine speaks openly about embracing challenges with purpose. She often reflects on the book The Journey of the Everyday Hero, a philosophy she lives by — that every challenge carries the seed of growth. She believes deeply that experiences, both good and difficult, shape who we are meant to become.Her commitment to self-care and spirituality also fuels her creative work. Through walking meditation, saying the rosary, and carving out moments of quiet connection, Christine finds balance amid a whirlwind of meetings, screenings, and creative responsibilities.Books remain a core source of joy and expansion for her — she belongs to two book clubs and loves the way literature broadens perspective and sparks conversation.Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a writer, or someone simply looking for motivation, Christine's journey is a reminder to say yes, lean into challenge, and trust that your path is unfolding as it should.Thank you for joining us on this episode of the DMF.

    Shohei Ohtani $3M Logoman Sale + Opportunity Cost vs Comps + Why Comps Control The Hobby

    We tackle one of the biggest hobby moments of the year: Shohei Ohtani's 1-of-1 Gold MLB Logoman autograph selling for $3 million on Fanatics Collect, followed days later by a $3.1 million Jordan Kobe dual Logoman sale at Heritage. From there, the conversation widens into something much bigger than one card. Is modern ultra high-end moving too fast? Does a card need “time to breathe,” or does Ohtani's career, global reach, and historical context override that idea entirely? We compare the sale to Paul Skenes' $1.1 million debut patch, debate opportunity cost versus singular grail ownership, and question whether one or two buyers can drag an entire market upward. The discussion then pivots into a deep dive on the comp economy. How much judgment are collectors outsourcing to strangers? Are comps guidance or control? When do comps work, when do they break, and how do concepts like triangulation, opportunity cost, and buyer intent actually play out in real hobby behavior? The segment closes with a heavy PSA conversation following the downgrade of a Wilt Chamberlain rookie from PSA 10 to PSA 9, wiping out roughly $800,000 in market value. We discuss whether that sale should remain in public comp databases, if it deserves an asterisk, and what “descriptive vs prescriptive” data really means when trust, grading, and market memory collide.

    MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 24th Publish Date:  December 24th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, December 24th and Happy Birthday to Howard Hughes I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Atlanta's Christmas Day forecast sees temperatures near record high Vegan Bakery opens in East Cobb Marietta History Center revisits the Square’s Christmas Past All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 9 STORY 1: Atlanta's Christmas Day forecast sees temperatures near record high It’s not exactly sweater weather, folks—Christmas in Atlanta is shaping up to feel more like a spring fling. Highs are expected to hit the low to mid-70s, putting this year in the running for one of the warmest Christmas Days on record. The all-time high? A toasty 75 degrees back in 2015. Rain? Not likely. Just sunshine, warmth, and maybe a little disbelief. STORY 2: Vegan Bakery opens in East Cobb  Tropicups, a vibrant new vegan bakery, officially opened its doors on Saturday, bringing cupcakes, cakes, and a whole lot of heart to 2525 Shallowford Road. Owner and baker Renée de Gannes Penn started Tropicups as a home bakery, whipping up treats for friends and family after going vegan a few years ago. Now, with her first storefront, she’s serving up cupcakes, brownies, lemon-blueberry squares, and even vegan soft-serve ice cream. Custom orders? Yep, she’s got those too. The name “Tropicups” is a nod to her Trinidadian roots—“tropical” meets “cupcakes.” But her treats aren’t just for vegans. “People with dairy, egg, or gluten allergies love them too,” she said, though she notes the bakery isn’t allergy-certified. De Gannes Penn hopes Tropicups becomes a community hub. “I’m just so excited to share this with everyone,” she said. STORY 3: Marietta History Center revisits the Square’s Christmas Past  The Marietta History Center and Parks and Rec are taking a stroll down memory lane—Christmas tree style. Every year, Glover Park gets its holiday glow-up with a big, beautiful tree, and now the history center is celebrating that tradition by sharing photos of past displays. The collection spans from 1987 to 2001, showcasing everything from classic decorations to quirky, playful themes. “These trees have been the heart of Marietta Square’s holiday season for decades,” the museum shared on social media. “We’re thrilled to keep their stories safe—no dusting required!” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 9 STORY 4: Congregation Ner Tamid celebrates 10th annual Marietta Square Menorah lighting Marietta Square buzzed Saturday night—families, friends, officials, all huddled together under the glow of the menorah for Congregation Ner Tamid’s 10th annual Hanukkah celebration. The air smelled like latkes and fried donuts, kids clutching raffle tickets, hoping for gift cards from local shops. Rabbi Joseph Prass, marking a decade with the synagogue, called up children to light the candles, weaving the story of Hanukkah into the night. “Freedom,” he said, “is worth celebrating—publicly, boldly.” The crowd nodded, some teary-eyed. After all, safety isn’t guaranteed everywhere. Prass reflected on recent tragedies, grateful for this moment of peace. Chocolate coins flew, kids laughed, and the night ended with blessings sung loud enough to echo. STORY 5: Georgia Power wins approval for massive expansion   Chaos. That’s the only word for it. Last week, Georgia Power got the green light—unanimously, no less—from state regulators to build five gas plants, a move critics say could cost $60 billion. Sixty. Billion. Dollars. That’s five Hoover Dams’ worth of power, and nearly a 50% boost in capacity. Why? Supposedly, tech giants need it for their AI and server farms. But here’s the kicker: the numbers? Secret. Opponents begged for transparency—“show your work,” they said. Nope. Denied. The vote? Rushed, just weeks before two new Democratic commissioners take office. Break: STORY 6: Atlanta named best US city for Christmas in 2025 by WalletHub     Turns out, Atlanta’s the place to be for Christmas this year. WalletHub just crowned it the best city in the U.S. to celebrate the holidays in 2025. Why? Well, it’s not just the lights or the shopping (though there’s plenty of that). Atlantans are apparently big on giving—clothing drives, online donations, you name it. Generosity, it seems, is kind of our thing. San Francisco came in second (candy shops galore), Seattle third (tree farms and bakeries, anyone?). Meanwhile, Stockton? Dead last. But hey, as one expert put it: the best holiday moments? They don’t cost a dime. STORY 7: Georgia prepares for Sugar Bowl rematch as Ole Miss promises a better fight  Here we go again. Georgia vs. Ole Miss, round two—this time in the Sugar Bowl. The Bulldogs took the first matchup back in October, a wild 43-35 shootout in Athens, but Ole Miss? They’re not exactly rolling over. A lot’s changed since then. Lane Kiffin’s out, Pete Golding’s in, and Ole Miss just steamrolled Tulane. Oh, and they’ve got a new QB, Trinidad Chambliss, who’s been proving doubters wrong all season. Revenge? Maybe. Opportunity? Definitely. Buckle up. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 9 Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

    Supreme Lending: Navigating Mortgages & First-Time Buyer Opportunities

    Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio

    Homebuying isn't one size fits all, and your mortgage shouldn't be either. Kimberly Nehiley, senior loan officer at Supreme Lending, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss nontraditional loan options and creative strategies every Atlanta homebuyer should know. Why Homebuyers Need a Mortgage Expert Buying a home is often the most significant financial decision a person will make, and the process can feel overwhelming. Supreme Lending goes beyond traditional loan origination to help clients evaluate cash flow, debt and long-term financial goals. Nehiley said, “It’s usually the product that they have the most anxiety about, because you’re dealing with their credit, their income, their money, their hopes and dreams, and their family’s hopes and dreams.” Supreme Lending also offers Supreme Essentials, which includes Budget Essentials and Credit Essentials, 20- to 30-minute online courses that guide clients on budgeting and credit management. The firm's in-house credit expert, with more than 30 years of experience at credit bureaus, helps clients raise their scores by an average of 100 points. Nehiley said, “Maybe you’re at a 650, but getting to 750 changes your interest rate by half a percent. I mean, those can be substantial amounts.” To make the mortgage process more transparent, Supreme Lending uses an AI-powered tool called the Home Buyer Journey. The technology includes several modules that guide clients through every step of the homebuying process. Innovative Mortgage Options for Today's Buyers Looking for more flexibility in your mortgage? Nehiley shares some of her favorite options that are gaining traction: Bank Statement Loans: For self-employed borrowers, income is verified through bank deposits instead of tax returns. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans: These loans focus on rental property cash flow rather than personal income. 40-Year Mortgages: 40-year mortgages reduce monthly payments for increased affordability. Proposed 50-year mortgages could provide additional flexibility for debt management and short-term affordability. Two-One Buydowns: Two-one buydowns are temporary interest rate reductions that benefit both homebuyers and builders. Interest-Only Mortgages: Homebuyers manage their cash flow while benefiting from home appreciation. “These loans are vehicles to help buyers now—they don't mean you're locked in for decades,” said Nehiley. “You can refinance or adjust as your situation changes.” Helping Buyers Make Smart Decisions With numerous loan options and fluctuating rates, Nehiley is passionate about educating clients to reduce confusion and stress. She breaks down costs into manageable steps, showing how small changes in loan amounts, down payments or home prices affect monthly payments. “For every $10,000 in home price, your monthly payment changes by roughly $60 to $70. That perspective helps buyers make informed decisions and avoid sticker shock.” Tune into the full episode for deeper insight into innovative mortgage products, creative financing solutions and how buyers can navigate today's evolving homebuying landscape.

We turn to Denmark's decision to shut down its national postal service, using it to examine the decline of physical mail, environmental tradeoffs, and why government monopolies struggle to compete with private delivery. We highlight the week's “foolishness,” including the rise of competitive spreadsheet championships, before turning to a broader discussion about inequality. We examine IQ distributions, bell curves, and why inequality is often confused with poverty, exploring the limits of measures like the Gini coefficient, the difference between snapshot and lifetime earnings, and the role of incentives, envy, and value creation.

    In this episode of 2B Bolder, I sit down with Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains, former AWS and IBM executive, Forbes contributor, and author of AI First, Human Always.We talk about what it really means to take smart risks, build influence through visibility, and lead in fast-moving spaces like AI and Web3, even when you don't feel 100 percent “ready.”Sandy shares pivotal career moments, including a $5 billion bet that didn't seem obvious at the time, and the lessons she learned about arriving early, staying late, and taking ownership before permission is granted. We reframe visibility, not as self-promotion, but as credibility, narrative control, and leadership when the stakes are high.We also dig deep into what an AI-first, human-always mindset actually looks like in practice. Sandy explains why AI should start with business outcomes, not tools, and how leaders can redesign workflows, decisions, and customer experiences with AI as the lever, while keeping human judgment firmly in control. From pressure-testing arguments to accelerating research, we talk about where AI adds leverage and where humans must always own voice, values, and accountability.This conversation gets refreshingly real. Sandy shares stories about AI agents quietly changing their own limits, robots learning the wrong behaviors by watching humans, and why simple guardrails, human-in-the-loop oversight, logging, and escalation paths matter more than flashy demos. We also explore why building your own agents, not just relying on ChatGPT, is becoming essential for leaders who want real control and resilience.Finally, Sandy walks through the origin of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI and the powerful three-part formula behind it: education, tribe, and recognition, a model that has trained tens of thousands of women and dismantled the tired excuse of “we can't find qualified women.”If you're a senior leader navigating responsible innovation, or a rising builder wondering if now is the moment to step forward, this episode offers a clear message: lead while you learn, act before consensus, and put guardrails in place so innovation compounds instead of derails.If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who needs a nudge to be bolder, and leave a review telling me the bold move you're committing to this week.Resources: Sandy's Profile linkedin.com/in/sandyacarterBooksBySandy.comsocialmediasandy.wordpress.com/

    As 2025 wraps up, we're closing out the year with five big questions shaping the water sector—and a few bold predictions for what's ahead. In this episode, host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield VP & Managing Director Keith Hays to tackle the trends and challenges defining water investment right now. 1. Data centers are growing 12.2% annually and driving the U.S. industrial water market. Is AI's thirst the crisis or the opportunity the water sector has been waiting for? 2. Housing construction in the U.S. dropped 15% since 2022, breaking the historic model of 'new homes = new pipes.' If growth isn't driving investment anymore, what is? 3. Europe's betting big on semiconductors, hydrogen, and EV batteries with its Water Resilience Strategy. Are they building infrastructure for industries that might not materialize—or positioning for the next industrial revolution while the U.S. fumbles? 4. Midstream water in oil and gas has gone from cyclical commodity play to structural necessity. Did the water sector accidentally become geopolitically important, or have they just not realized it yet? 5. Water bills have increased 24% in five years, and some cities are hitting EPA affordability thresholds. What breaks first—the infrastructure or the public's willingness to pay? Keith and Reese also place their contrarian bets for 2026 and tackle a speed round on what will define the next decade, where smart investment is headed, and who holds more power in 2035: those who own the infrastructure, or those who own the customer.

    2025 has been a massive year for the final frontier, and it honestly feels like the new Wild West of freight. We're recapping the biggest milestones—from Jared Isaacman being named NASA Administrator to the historic month where we had more launches than days in the month.In this episode, we're diving into the inspiration behind the American space industry with two of my favorite conversations:Building The New Silk Road in Space with CisLunar Joe Pawelski from Cis Lunar Industries joins me to talk about the "space train"—using plasma propulsion and recycling space debris into metal propellant to build a persistent supply chain between Earth and the Moon.How to Do Business in Space with Kelli Kedis Ogborn from the Space Foundation breaks down the $570 billion space economy and why the real money isn't just in rockets, but in the "picks and shovels" like in-orbit refueling and modular satellites.If you've ever thought space was just for astronauts, this episode is for you. We're moving past the "mythos" and looking at the very real logistics of building an off-world economy.More links from the episode: New NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is the only administrator ever to go into spaceFirefly Aeropace's BlueGhostIn April of this year, we got our first view of Earth's polar regions via SpaceX's Dragon Capsule In May of this year, SpaceX released updated renderings of humanoid robots working on MarsIn November, we had 31 launches in 30 days--the first month in history with more launches than daysWhere to see a rocket launchCheck Out More Space Logistics EpisodesFeedback?

    Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from the team's practice Tuesday at its South Side facility, where coach Mike Tomlin held his weekly news conference. What did Tomlin have to say about DK Metcalf, who was suspended for two games for his altercation with a fan Sunday in Detroit? What is the team expecting from Metcalf's appeal, which will take place Tuesday evening in front of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell? Is this an opportunity for Roman Wilson, who has been a healthy scratch lately? Will Calvin Austin III be able to play against the Browns? Would Tomlin sit veterans like Aaron Rodgers and Cam Heyward if the Ravens lose to the Packers on Sunday, rendering the Steelers-Browns moot? Why were they so good on third downs in Detroit? And why is Tomlin being more aggressive on fourth downs? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Scott Kacos and family. Thank you so much for partnering with us on Project23. We cannot do this without you. This is for you today. Our text today is Judges 18:7-10. Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. And when they came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, "What do you report?" They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you do nothing? Do not be slow to go, to enter in and possess the land. As soon as you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is spacious, for God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."— Judges 18:7-10 The Danite scouts find Laish—a city that looks perfect. Peaceful. Prosperous. Secure. Everything their own land was not. And they instantly assume, "God has given it into our hands." But notice—there's no record of prayer, no word from the Lord, and no evidence of obedience in the moments leading up to this. They mistake opportunity for confirmation. They see abundance and assume it's God's blessing. But it's fake faith—faith built on feelings, not on truth. This is how counterfeit obedience works. It looks spiritual, it sounds hopeful, but it's driven by convenience and comfort, not conviction. Remember, the Danites didn't want to fight the Amorites for the land God gave them in Joshua 19. They wanted the easy win, and this was it. Easy victories frequently lead to empty lives. We do the same when we chase the "Laish" in front of us: The job that pays more but pulls us from church. The relationship that feels good but bends God's truth.| The comfort that whispers, "This has to be right, it's working." But not everything that looks right is righteous. Sometimes what looks like God's favor is just avoidance in disguise. When our faith loses its fight, it starts settling for false flags. And the Danites here traded commands for the convenient conquest—and then called it compliance. Real faith does not do this. It never chases comfort; it counts on God even when the command is challenging. ASK THIS: Where have you confused convenience with God's calling? What's your "Laish"—the easy path that tempts you to compromise? Have you been mistaking peace for permission? How can you return to the ground God actually called you to claim? DO THIS: Identify one area where comfort has replaced conviction. Choose faithfulness over feelings this week—even if it costs you ease. PRAY THIS: Lord, forgive me for chasing comfort and calling it faith. Teach me to obey You when the way is hard and to trust You when the road isn't easy. Give me real faith—not imitation peace. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Trust In God."

    Artificial Intelligence is advancing by leaps and bounds and its impact is being felt virtually everywhere. Autonomous vehicles will one day be the norm, which is requiring car insurance companies to rethink their market. Since about 90 percent of road accidents are said to be caused by human factor, autonomous vehicles will likely have far fewer accidents and insurance claims in the future. Yael Benenisti, the deputy CEO of Insurtech Israel, says it’s an opportunity for insurance companies to widen their service to turn vehicles into data sensors that could be marketed.
