Self-employed people are opting out of KiwiSaver, putting their retirements at risk. A new report from the Retirement Commission and accounting firm Hnry's reveals only 44% of self-employed people actively contribute compared to 78% of employees. It shows 41% of self-employed workers don't get any government contribution. Hnry CEO James Fuller told Ryan Bridge when the Government halved KiwiSaver contributions in this year's Budget, many decided to put their money elsewhere. He says self-employed people have started putting their money into high-risk, short-term investments, meaning they won't have enough retirement savings.

Hey Doc,We were taught to equate strength with staying, enduring, proving ourselves.But sometimes the most courageous, grounded, resilient thing you can do… is leave.Leave the job.Leave the school.Leave the situation that is breaking you down in the name of proving your strength.This episode was inspired by a homeschool thread, but it's not about curriculum or education. It's about the lie we've been sold, as physician moms and high achievers, that resilience must be earned through trauma. That pushing through toxic environments is some badge of honor. That peace must be postponed until we've “made it” or proven we can survive the fire.I'm here to offer a different truth:You don't need to stay and suffer to be strong.Whether you're navigating burnout, dealing with a toxic workplace, or watching your child struggle in an unhealthy school system, I want you to know this:Leaving doesn't make you weak.Opting out is not failure.Walking away is the work.Inside this episode:The myth that trauma builds resilience and why we need to unlearn itWhat homeschooling taught me about agency and peaceWhy toxic work environments aren't training grounds, they're danger zonesA permission slip to choose yourself and never meet the version of you on the other side of unnecessary painIf you've been waiting for a sign to put down the struggle and reclaim your peace, this is it.

She emphasizes the need for entrepreneurs to take ownership of their work and the significance of building relationships through quality merchandise.TakeawaysAmanda's journey began with Urban Girl Squad, proving her entrepreneurial spirit.Hustle is essential for success in any business venture.Entrepreneurship is not for everyone; it requires a willingness to face challenges.Learning from mistakes is crucial; ignoring red flags can lead to bad decisions.Quality swag can enhance brand relationships and should not be treated as mere promotional items.Companies often print swag inefficiently, leading to low-quality items.Swag should be seen as a marketing tool, not just a giveaway.Opting for print on demand can solve many swag-related issues.Building relationships through swag is key to effective branding.Entrepreneurs have the power to say no to bad partnerships.Connect further with Amanda on LinkedIn HERE or visit her website HERESupport the showLINKS TO FREEBIES BELOW: WEEKLY NEWSLETTER where I share all the tips and tricks on how to grow organically online HERE ABOUT THE HOST: Former Executive Recruiter turned Online Marketing Expert & Entrepreneur.

What if everything you've been told about overcoming your struggles is backwards? What if the very act of fighting your anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma is actually making it worse?In this powerful episode, Duane and Eric dive into one of the most revolutionary concepts in recovery and mental health: creative hopelessness. This isn't about giving up on your life or your future. It's about giving up on something that's been sabotaging you all along - the belief that you need to control how you feel to have a good life.If you've tried therapy after therapy, read every self-help book, downloaded every meditation app, and still find yourself stuck in the same painful cycles, this episode is for you. You'll discover why your best efforts to feel better might be keeping you trapped, and learn a radically different approach that could change everything.Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Duane and Eric explore the "DOTS" framework - the four main ways we try to control our internal experiences (Distraction, Opting out, Thinking, and Substances/self-harm). They'll walk you through the five steps of creative hopelessness and show you how to shift from an exhausting control agenda to a liberating acceptance agenda.This isn't about becoming passive or giving up hope. It's about redirecting your precious energy from fighting an unwinnable war with your own mind toward building the meaningful life you actually want. You'll learn why the goal isn't to feel better, but to live better - and how that shift can transform everything.Download: Worksheet Creative HopelessnessWhether you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, or trauma, this episode offers a compassionate, research-backed approach that honors your pain while opening the door to genuine freedom. It's time to stop drowning in your own rescue attempts and discover what's possible when you let go of the struggle.Key Topics• Creative Hopelessness Explained: What it means to give up the agenda of emotional control without giving up on life• The DOTS Framework: Four common control strategies (Distraction, Opting out, Thinking, Substances/self-harm)• The Five-Step Process: How to work through your own creative hopelessness journey• The Control vs. Acceptance Agenda: Why fighting your feelings often makes them stronger• Psychological Flexibility: Learning to stay present while taking values-based action• The Paradox of Recovery: Why letting go of control can lead to greater freedom• Practical Application: Moving from "feeling better" to "living better"Timestamps[00:01:00] - The drowning metaphor: Why fighting might be pulling you under[00:05:00] - Defining creative hopelessness and the agenda of emotional control[00:11:00] - Introduction to the DOTS framework for identifying control strategies[00:15:00] - The five steps of the creative hopelessness process[00:19:00] - The beautiful paradox: Opening the door to acceptance[00:22:00] - Shifting from "feeling better" to "living better"[00:24:00] - Resources and next steps for listenersDownload: Worksheet Creative HopelessnessJoin our Deep Dive in our TAM+ community, where we discuss this episode in depth.Register Here: https://theaddictedmind.com/deepdiveFollow and Review:We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Story at-a-glance Scientific findings link prolonged high temperatures to increased aggression, poor decision-making, and reduced mental sharpness, all of which affect your safety, relationships, and productivity Opting for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen, wearing loose clothing, and choosing strategic colors will help regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating during hot days Experts recommend directly cooling large surface areas like your torso and limbs with water or ice, especially if you spend long hours outdoors or work in the heat Keeping your air conditioner's filters clean, clearing the surrounding area, and managing usage boosts its cooling efficiency, reduces your energy bills, and protects indoor air quality — especially for vulnerable individuals Staying hydrated is non-negotiable in hot weather — follow thirst cues, monitor your urine color, and consume water-rich fruits and electrolytes like coconut water to stay cool, energized, and resilient against dehydration

Emma McKeon is an Olympic icon, an Australian swimming legend, and now a Swammer. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, McKeon became one of only 2 women in swimming to ever win 14 Olympic medals over her career, joining Katie Ledecky who accomplished the same feat at the same meet. SwimSwam caught up with McKeon after she had enjoyed some well-earned rest, recovery, and travel since Paris. The Aussie shared what her life has looked like since stepping away from swimming but also reflected on the leadup to her final meet. McKeon revealed that just 2-3 weeks out from Paris, she was contemplating not even going due to the severity of pain she was having in her shoulders. However, she was able to manage her injury through the Games and walk away with a gold, silver, and bronze, securing her legacy as one of the greatest Olympians ever.

Beer-logo'd golf bags. Old school MTV veejays. The Dead Guys of the Week — Brian Wilson and Sly Stone — and their place in music and pop culture history.Matt Zimmer and John Gaskins tried their best to kick around fun and breezy topics to avoid that dreaded summer buzz kill — The NCAA-House Settlement and where schools like SDSU and USD fit into it.But eventually, the hosts of the weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast got down to busines at Gateway Lounge. What does this darn thing mean and what really matters to the college football fans of the Dakotas and the FCS?What's also exhausting and confusing is if SDSU, USD, and NDSU will opt in or not, and what the competitive advantages and disadvantages would immediately be no matter what that choice is.Over his ice cold Bud Light on tap, Zimmer — who, like most, is blurry-eyed from the deluge of reports and details about the Settlemen and what schools are doing about it — boils things down to the simplest and most straightforward of terms, including what SDSU football coach Dan Jackson makes of it.Also, what is the bigger picture of the Sioux Falls Storm in the wake of head coach Andre Fields's resignation this week? Is this a sign the team may never come back? Why and how did it lose its hold on both its league and the springtime sports fans of Sioux Falls?Also, some Twins Talk — Bailey Ober's injury, Buxton's boom, Wallner's emergence — and a few words about the University of Sioux Falls' new logo, which leads to the rabbit hole of SDSU and USD logos and sports team logos, in general.On the way out, a word about "Tacos and Tequila," the upcoming hip-hop festival at The Birdcage, and Matt's new pickup truck. And his way to drive a pickup.

On this week's episode, I sit down with Thomas Castelli, real estate-focused CPA and partner at Hall CPA, to dive deep into real, practical tax strategies that can save investors thousands. If you've ever wondered whether your CPA is leaving money on the table, this episode will confirm your suspicion and give you the tools to fix it.   Thomas shares eye-opening stories of tax returns gone wrong, the truth behind cost segregation and depreciation, and how strategic planning done proactively can unlock massive wealth preservation.    Whether you're a seasoned investor or just closing your first deal, these are the systems, mistakes, and mindset shifts that separate the average from the elite.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 02:41 From accounting student to real estate investor to real estate CPA 04:02 Why generalist CPAs often cost investors money 05:14 The myth of “you can't take more than $25K in losses”—and how pros work around it 06:10 How depreciation offsets income and reduces your effective tax rate 07:17 The $50K case study: a CPA missed cost segregation, costing a client dearly 08:18 Advisory vs. compliance: why strategy beats paperwork 10:02 Common mistakes: missed depreciation, unreported insurance, and more 12:02 Opting out of bonus depreciation—when it helps and when it hurts 14:47 What is cost segregation? 18:12 Which items can be carved out in a cost seg: carpets, appliances, sheds & more 19:15 Should you run a cost seg if you plan to sell in 2 years? 21:36 Get in touch with Thomas and his team 22:26 Why real estate is the best long-term tax strategy in America 24:30 Tax planning isn't a luxury—it's your responsibility   Quotables   “Most CPAs are generalists. If they don't live in real estate, they don't know what to look for.”   “Your tax return is a report card for what already happened. If you want to influence it, you have to act now.”   “This is like surgery. You don't do it yourself. You call the right specialist.”   Links   Tax Smart Real Estate Investors Podcast https://www.therealestatecpa.com/podcasts/   Hall CPA http://smartrealestatecoach.com/hallcpa   QLS Live https://qlslive.com   Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast   FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast   Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources   Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast   In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast   3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast   REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD   7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Pat Flynn to explore the creative process… not from strategy, but from center. Pat and I talk about what it looks like to create without pressure to learn everything all at once, to unsubscribe from all the distractions without losing clarity, and to build something meaningful without needing to chase every bit of information calling for your attention. We explore how his newest book, Lean Learning, emerged not just as a productivity tool, but as a reflection of his own journey toward presence, freedom, and focused execution. This conversation isn't about hacks or hustle. It's about alignment. Trust. And the art of listening to your own inner knowing. If you've ever felt stuck between your ideas and your execution… If you've struggled with overthinking, perfectionism, or trying to learn too much… This episode may open a new door for you. Pat's honesty, clarity, and humility shine here. And I believe you'll walk away with not just insight, but peace. You can get Pat's book, Lean Learning, at leanlearningbook.com

Mike and Abe open up the show with some brief thoughts on the Braves 5-4 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday noting how the bullpen gave up four runs leading to the loss. They also share thoughts on how well Drake Baldwin continues to produce at the plate, supporting Mike's argument the Braves have to find a way to keep the young catcher in the lineup as opposed to opting for Sean Murphy, who continues to struggle. They then get into the Falcons schedule and share thoughts on how early their bye is at Week 5, both agreeing the early bye is not ideal.

Just when you thought you understood Local Services Ads (LSAs), Google changes the game. Gyi and Conrad sound the alarm on the latest shift in LSA terms—and this one's a doozy. Google now claims the right to tweak, repurpose, and plaster your ad content wherever it wants. Cool cool cool… unless you're a lawyer who cares about things like client confidentiality and ethics.   Is this a harmless update? A marketing landmine? Or just another “oops, didn't read the fine print” moment? The guys debate what opting in *really* means, how it could affect your firm, and why blind trust in Big Tech is looking less like a best practice and more like a liability.   Takeaways: Google's changing the rules on LSAs—again.   Your ad content? They can now modify and use it freely.   Ethics red flag: This could compromise client confidentiality.   Most lawyers have no idea this is happening.   Opting in might mean opening a can of worms.   Google's rollout? Vague at best.   Legal marketers are losing faith.   Ad performance and trust are both on the line.   Law firms must weigh ethical risks before opting in.   Transparency isn't optional—it's essential.   Chapters 00:00 – Breaking News: Google Drops LSA Bombshell 01:12 – What Google's New Data Policy Really Means 06:00 – The Opt-In Confusion (and Consequences) 11:00 – Google's Data Grab and Pricing Power Play 17:15 – AI, Ethics, and the Future of Legal Ads

It's time to remember who we truly are with my guest, Alec Zeck. Speaker, writer, and executive director of The Way Forward, Alec dismantles the illusion of control, exposing why true sovereignty comes from radical self-responsibility, not outsourcing power to corrupt institutions. We explore how decentralized systems can replace failing governance, from independent health networks to alternative education and security. Alec also challenges the germ theory fallacy, revealing why there's no direct evidence that viruses cause disease and how environmental toxins, stress, and EMFs impact health far more than we've been led to believe. This episode is a call to reclaim your power, question everything, and start building a world that actually works for us.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.
