A series of “extraordinary” events has made the environment more challenging for growth stocks. But “this level of trepidation can't go on forever”, says Baillie Gifford partner Stuart Dunbar in this latest episode, suggesting that patient investors will benefit when stability returns and the markets value exceptional companies at a premium again. Stuart Dunbar is a director in Baillie Gifford's Clients Department and is responsible for helping shape and communicate the firm's investment philosophy.In this conversation, he considers how a succession of disruptive events – the most recent being the current war in the Middle East – has rattled markets and led investors to focus on companies' short-term profits rather than their long-term potential.However, this period of flux will not last forever, he argues. And when we re-enter a period of stability, patience should be rewarded as markets recognise exceptional companies' future earnings potential and price them accordingly. In the meantime, Baillie Gifford's investment teams remain focused on finding and supporting businesses that will prosper from change and supporting their management to take the long view. And as Dunbar reveals, as the sources of growth broaden out, we are backing some companies that come as a surprise.  Portfolio companies discussed include:Astera Labs – the semiconductor chip designer, whose products tackle data bottlenecks in AI datacentresIREN – the datacentre operator whose clients include MicrosoftMedpace – a contract research organisation that biotech and pharmaceutical companies hire to run their clinical trialsNu Holdings – owner of the Latin American fintech NubankSpotify – the audio streaming platform that lets people listen to music, podcasts and audiobooksWillScot – North America's largest provider of temporary space rentals, leasing out modular offices, portable storage containers and classroom units  Resources:Actual investors hubActual investing revisitedBaillie Gifford podcastsPrivate growth investingThe Compound and Friends podcastThe Success Equation Companies mentioned include:AJ BellAmazonAnthropicAstera LabsByteDanceIRENMedpaceMicrosoftNu HoldingsNVIDIASpotifyWillScot Timecodes:00:00  Introduction02:00  Active v passive03:35  “Know what we own”06:15  Building relationships with company leaders07:55  Causes and effects of uncertainty11:05  Beyond the Magnificent 712:45  A period of relative stability17:50  Compressed valuations19:25  Nubank and Medpace's promise23:10  Meetings with clients25:40  Broader sources of growth28:15  Private equity growth31:25  Better-informed stock picking33:25  Staying independent and standalone35:45  “Wait until the market comes to its senses”37:10  Book choiceGlossary of terms (in order of mention):  Latent heat: energy absorbed or released during a change of state, like ice melting, without a change in temperature.Active investing: trying to beat the market by choosing investments based on research and judgement.Passive funds: investment funds that track a market index rather than picking stocks actively.Quantitative approaches: investment methods that use data, models and statistics to make decisions.Market capitalisation weights: an index method that gives bigger companies a larger influence based on their total market value.Alignment of incentives: making sure different parties are rewarded in ways that encourage the same goals.Drawdowns: significant falls in the value of an investment from a previous peak.R&D: research and development – spending on innovation and new products or technologies.Backdate options: setting share-option dates retrospectively to make them more valuable, often controversially.Shareholder registers: the official records of who owns a company's shares.Benchmark: a standard, often an index, used to compare investment performance.Magnificent 7 / Mag 7: the seven giant US tech stocks that have dominated market performance in recent years.GPU: graphics processing unit – a specialised chip often used for AI computing because it handles parallel tasks well.Sub-market multiple: a valuation lower than the market average.Strategic asset allocation: deciding how much to invest in broad asset classes like shares, bonds or private markets.Benchmark-aware: closely focused on performance relative to a benchmark index.Venture capital: investment in early-stage, high-growth private companies.Private equity buyout funds: funds that buy controlling stakes in companies, often using debt.Private equity growth: investing in more mature private companies that are expanding but not yet public.Roadshow: presentations by company leaders to investors ahead of an IPO or fundraising.Alternative asset classes: investments outside traditional shares and bonds, such as private equity or infrastructure.Path dependency: the idea that outcomes are shaped by the sequence of earlier decisions and events.

Many women assume their lack of desire means something is wrong with them, but in this episode, I am going to explain that the real issue is often passive sexuality. We'll explore the difference between waiting for a spouse to create desire and actively engaging with your own sexuality. Through stories from real clients, I'll show how small shifts, like noticing attraction, savoring memories of intimacy, or anticipating connection, can gradually change how you experience your sexual relationship. I will also connect this idea to the principle of agency, reminding us that sexuality in marriage is something we can actively cultivate. By moving from passive to active sexuality, couples can experience deeper connection, more engagement, and a renewed sense of ownership in their intimate relationship.

K-1 season can be confusing for real estate investors, especially when depreciation, passive losses, and capital accounts start showing up on your tax documents. In this episode, Nate and Tom break down the fundamentals of depreciation in real estate partnerships and how it impacts both general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs). They walk through how cost segregation studies accelerate deductions, why passive losses matter for investors, and how depreciation is allocated inside syndications. They also explain why capital accounts and outside basis determine whether investors can actually use the losses shown on their K-1 and why partnership operating agreements need to align with IRS rules like Section 704(b). Whether you're a syndicator structuring deals or an investor trying to understand your K-1, this episode provides a clear overview of how depreciation works inside real estate partnerships.

#816 What if you could replace your income in just a few years by following a proven business playbook instead of starting from scratch? In this special cross-promotion from Nick Loper's The Side Hustle Show, Nick sits down with franchise consultant Greg Mohr (FranchiseMaven.com) to break down whether buying a franchise can be a smart “semi-absentee” side hustle. Greg explains why franchises can have lower failure rates than starting from scratch, how to do real due diligence, and what separates the winners. They also dig into what kinds of franchises are most realistic part-time — especially home services and senior care — plus common financing paths like SBA loans and how to think about franchises as both cash flow and an eventual sellable asset! What Nick discusses with Greg: + Franchises vs. startups + Semi-passive ownership model + Talk to franchisees first + Service franchises advantages + Franchise fee vs. DIY + SBA loan financing options + Hire strong general manager + Franchise disclosure due diligence + Break-even and profit timelines + Building sellable business asset Thank you, Nick and Greg!

If you're avoiding boundaries because you don't want to seem selfish, this will flip the script. Healthy boundaries can create more emotional intimacy, reduce unhealthy feelings, and stop the burnout and stress spiral. So many kind, caring people get stuck in a pattern of saying yes when they really mean no. They're not weak, and they're not doing anything “wrong.” They're often afraid of conflict, afraid of disappointing someone, or afraid of losing a relationship. And that fear can pull you into the people pleasing cycle: over-giving, exhaustion, resentment, and eventually that sharp “No” that comes out of nowhere and leaves everyone feeling hurt. In this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, we're talking about how to set boundaries in a way that protects your relationships instead of damaging them. You'll learn what healthy boundaries in relationships actually look like, why boundaries are not about controlling anyone else's behavior, and how to set a boundary with clarity and kindness — even when someone else has big feelings about it. If you've been wondering how to stop people pleasing, or you're trying to figure out what are healthy boundaries in a relationship, this is a practical place to start. As you listen, notice where you've been making your needs smaller to keep the peace, and what might change if your boundaries became an act of love for both of you. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Boundaries Protect Relationships 04:26 Why Setting Boundaries Feels So Hard 06:45 The People-Pleasing Cycle 11:19 The Paradox: Boundaries Create Intimacy 15:53 Passive, Aggressive, and Assertive Communication 18:10 The Real Secret to Healthy Boundaries 27:36 Requests vs Boundaries 36:40 How to Start Practicing Boundaries 39:06 The 3-Step Boundary Process 45:46 What Their Reaction Tells You About The Relationship 50:36 Resources and Next Steps If this episode is hitting close to home, maybe you're recognizing people pleasing patterns, or noticing how hard it's been to set boundaries in a relationship, I want to offer you something that can make this easier.

In this special 400th episode, the Rational Reminder hosts reflect on 50 years of index investing and the profound impact it has had on financial markets, investor behavior, and the cost of investing. The episode features a panel moderated by Ben Felix at the New York Stock Exchange—hosted by Vanguard and S&P Dow Jones Indices—bringing together leading voices in the indexing world to explore how passive investing evolved and what it means for the future of capital markets. Ben is joined on the panel by Tim Edwards (S&P Dow Jones Indices), Jim Rowley (Vanguard), and Shelly Antoniewicz (Investment Company Institute) to discuss the mechanics of indexing, the myths surrounding passive investing, and the evidence on how index funds affect markets. They unpack questions about market concentration, price discovery, and whether indexing is changing the structure of capital markets.

Active Vs. Passive Parkers by Maine's Coast 93.1

Jesse is joined by Rubin Miller—former Dimensional Fund Advisors insider, founder and CIO of Peltoma Capital Partners, author of the Fortunes and Frictions blog, and national chess master—for a wide-ranging conversation about how investment philosophy, behavioral discipline, and real-world client psychology intersect. Rubin pulls back the curtain on how factor tilts like small-cap, value, and profitability work. The discussion moves beyond theory into practice, tackling commoditization in passive investing, the tradeoffs between index funds and structured tilts, and the uncomfortable truth that great investment decisions can look wrong for years. Rubin also challenges spreadsheet-only thinking, defending dollar-cost averaging for large windfalls as a behavioral risk-management tool rather than a return-maximization tactic. Throughout, he emphasizes that the most important portfolio design principle isn't squeezing out incremental expected return—it's building a strategy clients can stick with when markets inevitably deliver noise, volatility, and surprise. The result is a candid, technically grounded, and deeply human look at what long-term investing actually demands. Key Takeaways: • Factor tilts—such as small-cap, value, and profitability—are grounded in decades of academic research but require patience to endure long droughts. • Expected returns dominate over long horizons; unexpected returns dominate in the short run. • Spreadsheet-optimal strategies are not always behaviorally optimal strategies. • The best portfolio is one an investor can stay invested in during extreme volatility. • Financial advisors add value not just through portfolio construction but through expectation management. • Long-term investing success depends less on brilliance and more on discipline, humility, and staying on the bus.

Send a textJoe Fairless built Ashcroft Capital into one of the most recognized multifamily syndicators in the country — $2B+ in assets, properties across the Sunbelt, and a vertically integrated management company. But he started with $30K, student loans, and an apartment in New York where one paycheck covered rent and the other covered everything else.In this episode, Joe gets candid about the deals that didn't work, the market conditions that are keeping multifamily investors in a holding pattern, and the one acquisition strategy most operators are completely ignoring right now: going direct to the lender.Here's what we cover:Why Fort Worth and Orlando are Ashcroft's two highest-conviction markets heading into late 2026How Joe acquired a property for less than the outstanding debt — and what it took to get thereThe lender relationship play that gives you first look at off-market distressed deals (even if you don't have your own management company)Where the supply/demand shift is — and why Q3 2026 is the number operators keep landing onJoe's personal 3.5% math: out of 140 LP deals across 50+ operators, what's actually gone to zeroThe fixed vs. floating rate lesson that still stingsHow Joe defines success — and it has nothing to do with deal countJoe also shares his three bucket list goals for the year.

Because if the first time you ask your audience to click is when you're asking them to buy, you're already behind.In this Email Empire episode, you'll learn how to intentionally build a culture of clicking inside your email funnel so sales feel like the natural next step, not a big leap. TAKEAWAYS:Clicking isn't just a performance metric, it's a trust signal. Every time a subscriber clicks, they're showing that they believe what you're sharing is worth their time and attention.The first opportunity to train click behavior starts immediately on your lead magnet's thank you page. A strategic tripwire offer can introduce your audience to taking action right away by buying from you.Delivering your lead magnet through email (not just on the thank-you page) creates an early habit of opening and clicking in your emails.A strategic Email Nurture Sequence should send readers somewhere intentionally (like short face-to-camera videos on your website) to deepen trust and build engagement.When you consistently invite small clicks before your pitch sequence, buying becomes a continuation of an existing behavior instead of a brand-new ask.LINKS YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL: Check out the blog post that accompanies this podcast episode for more details and resources.Listen to episode 469, The Real Metric That Drives Email Sales, and episode 471, How to Improve Your Email Click Through Rate, to learn more about email click through rates.Want to learn how to strategically set up a tripwire on your lead magnet's thank you page?

Many women say they want an emotionally available man. But what happens when you finally meet one?In this video, I talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough: how toxic or emotionally unavailable relationships can condition you to respond to healthy love in unhealthy ways.I share my personal experience of learning how to communicate, unlearn survival tactics, and grow inside a relationship with a genuinely good man. Because sometimes the hardest part of healthy love isn't finding it — it's learning how to receive it.In this video we talk about:• Why healthy men can feel unfamiliar after toxic relationships• The survival tactics women develop in emotionally unsafe relationships• Passive aggression, testing, and threatening to leave• How emotionally healthy men respond differently• What it looks like to heal inside a relationship• How to recognize when you're growing instead of sabotagingYou don't have to be fully healed to deserve healthy love.But you do have to be willing to grow once you're in it.✨ Let's connect:

There is now no condemnation...but if we're honest, sometimes condemnation feels effective.In this episode, John Ortberg explores what Dallas Willard called the law of reciprocal condemnation — the almost unbreakable cycle where judgment breeds counter-judgment, attack breeds counter-attack, and anger multiplies itself.It's extremely rare, Willard observed, that anyone who is condemned responds by changing in the desired way.Instead, condemnation produces:- Counter-condemnation- Passive aggression- Perfectionism- Procrastination- Rebellion- Or quiet relational deathJesus warned about this in the Sermon on the Mount:“As you judge, so you will be judged.”Not as a threat from God — but as an observation about how relationships work.So how do we break the cycle?Paul gives a shocking alternative in Romans 12:Do not repay evil for evil.Leave room for God's justice.Overcome evil with good.Justice is real.But it is not ours to manage.

Episode Summary In this episode of Gary's Gulch, Gary Pinkerton shares a candid reflection on the growing misuse of artificial intelligence — and why many current applications may be creating more noise than value. While AI holds enormous potential to eliminate repetitive work and enhance human productivity, Gary argues that it is increasingly being used in ways that waste time, weaken human communication, and replace meaningful thinking with surface-level outputs. He explains why AI should amplify human capability, not replace human judgment, creativity, or emotional intelligence. Through real-world examples — including a client case involving estate planning and AI-generated financial misunderstandings — Gary highlights the risks of relying on AI without expertise or context. The episode then transitions into a preview of a new educational course Gary is developing with lender Aaron Chapman, focused on building generational wealth through the strategic combination of real estate investing, infinite banking, and asset protection. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of where AI helps, where it fails, and how disciplined financial systems — not shortcuts — create lasting wealth.

Send a textIn this episode, Ed welcomes Michael Pouliot of Carbon Real Estate Investments, a vertically integrated private equity firm operating workforce housing apartments across the Southeast. Pouliot explains Carbon's buy box: 100–300 unit, older vintage (1970s–1990s) properties in strong school districts and stable submarkets, targeting families and raising rents about 20% through substantial CapEx that prioritizes deferred maintenance alongside unit upgrades. They talk about navigating Sunbelt challenges like insurance and taxes by avoiding high-risk areas, staying conservative in underwriting, and emphasizing strong entry pricing. Pouliot shares a bullish view that the next 12–18 months are a strong buying window as the market works through distress, debt maturities, and oversupply absorption, with more constructive sentiment and capital expected around 2027–2028. He outlines Carbon's strategy for 2026: keep buying with fixed-rate, low-leverage debt, hold long-term, and offer investor liquidity via recapitalizations rather than selling assets. The conversation also covers regional scaling for operational efficiency, selective adoption of AI tools (voice/chat agents, SOP knowledge bases, automation) to augment staff, and Pouliot's perspective on purpose, mentorship, lifestyle trade-offs versus Wall Street, and how he defines success. Pouliot closes by directing viewers to investwithcarbon.com for Carbon's weekly newsletter and content.00:00 Cycle Outlook 2027-202800:11 Show Intro and Mission00:52 Welcome and Subscribe01:42 Meet Carbon Real Estate02:44 Insurance and Tax Headwinds05:07 Buy Box and Resident Avatar07:01 Why Stable Markets Win08:34 Distress Deals and Assumable Debt12:29 Oversupply and Absorption Math14:58 Strategy for 202618:41 Vertical Integration and CapEx20:32 Tech and AI in Property Ops14:23 AI Ops Automation23:28 Human Touch Investing24:31 Real Estate Tech Lag25:19 Deal Junkie Purpose26:23 Paranoia Prevents Errors28:26 Wall Street What Ifs33:38 Learning Diet Books35:56 Defining Success Seasons38:19 Life Outside Real Estate41:05 Where To Follow CarbonThis week's book: How Countries Go Broke by Ray DalioElevista - Speed as a Service™Elevista Connect is the first AI-powered lead conversion system built for real estate investors.

In this episode, the "Godfather of Effectiveness" Peter Field joins the show to discuss why the pursuit of efficiency is making marketing less effective. He breaks down the "Triple Jeopardy" facing modern marketers: over-investing in the bottom of the funnel, producing dull rational creative, and purchasing low-attention media. Field provides an evidence-based case for why the industry must move away from CPM and toward "cost per attentive second" to drive real profitability.Key TakeawaysThe Triple Jeopardy: Effectiveness is being squeezed by three factors: a lack of brand investment, a decline in creative "magic," and the rise of low-attention media platforms.The 60% Waste: Choosing media based on low CPMs often results in zero attention, effectively wasting the majority of the investment.The One-Second Brand Fail: You cannot build brand memory or mental availability in one second.The Recession Playbook: Economic uncertainty is the best time to "go long" as media costs for brand building decrease, providing a massive competitive advantage for the recovery.The CFO Dialogue: Use evidence and case studies to prove that brand health is the primary driver of conversion efficiency.Guest BioPeter Field is a world-renowned marketing consultant and researcher.

Your philosophy predicts your results. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan unpack the thinking patterns that quietly keep people stuck, even when they are putting in real effort. Progress is not usually blocked by laziness. It is blocked by beliefs that shape how you interpret setbacks, time horizons, and responsibility. When those beliefs go unexamined, motivation alone is not enough to create change.This episode brings a sharper lens to personal growth, discipline, and long-term success without pretending the path is easy. If you want better outcomes, it starts with better thinking and more honest self-awareness._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results.

Investor and entrepreneur Kevin Steuer joins me to examine whether Main Street investors can compete in a market dominated by algorithms—and whether competing is even the right goal.Most investing conversations reduce themselves to slogans: “Just buy index funds” or “Learn to trade like the pros.” This episode does neither. Kevin and I unpack the uncomfortable reality that nearly 90% of U.S. equity volume is now algorithmic—and what that means for individuals trying to generate alpha in a machine-driven market.Kevin shares how he acquired Stock TA, a technical analysis platform that had previously been shut down, and why he chose to rebuild it. We explore trend-following versus value investing, passive allocation versus active sector rotation, and the psychology that sabotages most retail traders long before the market does.The conversation moves beyond tactics into something deeper: the cost of time. At what point does investing become another job? When does persistence turn into hubris? And how do you measure expected value—not just in portfolio returns, but in hours spent chasing marginal gains?This isn't a promise that trading beats indexing. It's a sober look at risk, discipline, asymmetric bets, and the reality that markets don't reward narratives—they reward positioning.The lesson isn't that everyone should trade.It's that if you do, you need structure, probabilities, and the humility to know what game you're actually playing.TL;DR* ~90% of U.S. equity volume is algorithm-driven* Retail traders compete against rule-based systems, not other humans* Passive indexing may outperform most active traders long-term* Trend-following requires discipline—not prediction* False breakouts and stop hunts erode returns* Scaling into and out of positions reduces emotional decision-making* Expected value matters more than win rate* Time spent trading is an invisible cost most ignore* Persistence without edge becomes hubrisMemorable Lines* “The human brain doesn't think like a computer.”* “The price of anything can be anything.”* “Escalator up, elevator down.”* “Trend exhaustion—not emotion—should trigger exits.”* “If investing becomes a job, calculate the hourly rate.”GuestKevin Steuer — Investor and entrepreneurAcquirer and rebuilder of Stock TA, a technical analysis platform focused on trend scores, confluence levels, and sector-based strategy to help Main Street investors navigate algorithmic markets.

Send a textThis week, Ed welcomes Hawaii-based real estate developer and educator Fuzzy Jardine to Real Estate Underground. Fuzzy shares his background growing up in Hawaii, getting into trouble with drugs and alcohol, going to prison, and using that time to educate himself with books like Rich Dad Poor Dad. After struggling to find work as an ex-con, he took multiple jobs, then invested $26,000 in real estate education after hearing about Fortune Builders, and learned to find deals through strategies like bandit signs and Craigslist ads. He explains how taking action led him from deal-finding to partnering with a local developer and eventually building 100+ affordable homes for local families on a more rural island, typically priced around $300K–$425K. Fuzzy talks about “The Pono Way,” emphasizing respectful, ethical investing, illustrated by a deal where a distressed homeowner was helped with housing, a car, and additional funds while the investors still profited. He also describes co-founding the Hui Mastermind with Asha Smith, including webinars, bus tours showing the full build process, meetups, and master classes teaching how to get started in real estate and fund deals without traditional bank financing. In a lightning round, Fuzzy says family is his main purpose, shares advice about being on time and owning mistakes quickly, reflects on saying yes too often and taking responsibility for a project headed toward a loss, and names motivators he follows on YouTube and podcasts. Check out Fuzzy's book, “Out of Paradise: How to Build Wealth Investing in Real Estate the Pono Way,” and shares where to find him online: fuzzyjardine.com, huimastermind.com, Instagram @hifuzzy, and YouTube “Investing in Hawaii.”00:00 Take Action Mindset00:11 Show Intro and Opportunity00:52 Meet Fuzzy Jardine01:54 From Prison to Real Estate05:58 Why Building Homes08:33 Finding Deals and First Partner10:03 Working Three Jobs to Learn12:30 The Pono Way Ethics15:58 Hui Mastermind Origins19:15 Lightning Round Purpose20:28 Mentors and Hard Lessons23:21 Books and Writing His Own24:43 Defining Success and Fun26:40 Where to Find Fuzzy27:24 Final Thanks and Call to ActionThis week's book: Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiElevista - Speed as a Service™Elevista Connect is the first AI-powered lead conversion system built for real estate investors.

Democracy Is Not Passive: Chris Melody Fields Figueredo on Ballot Power in 2026 When we think about elections, we think about candidates. But some of the most consequential fights in 2026 won't be about who's on the ballot — they'll be about what's on it. Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, Executive Director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, joins me to break down the 24 democracy-related ballot measures already approved for November — and the wave of defensive measures, voter suppression tactics, and anti-trans initiatives emerging across the country. We discuss Missouri lawmakers overturning voter-approved minimum wage and paid leave, how supermajority thresholds weaken majority rule, and why ballot initiatives remain one of the most powerful tools for multiracial democracy — even in red states. Democracy cannot be passive. And this year, it's on the ballot. From this Episode: Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC) BALLOT MEASURE HUB LUCHA AZ —Living United for Change in Arizona is an organization led by changemakers fighting for social, racial, and economic transformation.

With 3,500 mobile home units under management, Andrew Keel is an expert at “forcing” value and “manufacturing” cash flow even from underperforming assets. He's so dedicated to making each mobile home park investment work that he's even lived on-site (with his family) to ensure value is being added from the second he closes.  Through infill, diligent operations, and crucial fixed-rate debt, Andrew has been able to grow his portfolio at a time when many operators are forced to give up theirs. This wasn't by luck, but by design, and Andrew's advice can help any investor, whether investing in mobile home parks or other assets, add value, increase cash flow, and succeed in secondary and smaller markets.  Andrew says two things can increase your cash flow, and three things can kill a deal quickly. If you get a few of these wrong, your NOI can evaporate, but thankfully, they're not hard to spot. Passive investing in mobile home parks? Andrew tells you exactly what to look for in an operator to ensure they'll be able to pull off what their pro forma plans call for.  Insights from today's episode: Two levers that can increase cash flow (significantly) on your next acquisition  The right way to infill a mobile home park, and whether new homes or used homes are worth it Investing in small secondary markets: The rules of thumb Andrew uses to gauge a market's demand  Three things that can kill a deal before it even starts (add to your due diligence checklist) Building your own in-house property management team and why it doesn't need to be profitable to be worth it   — Connect with Andrew on LinkedIn Invest with Andrew and His Team Keel Team YouTube Channel  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.
