In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) walks through how perpetual futures work, from funding rates to liquidations to the surprise of automatic deleveraging. Perps are the dominant trading mechanism in crypto (6-8X larger than spot volume) and exist primarily to let exchanges and market makers run casinos more capital-efficiently. He explains why this intellectually interesting innovation probably won't escape crypto, despite what crypto enthusiasts might expect.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/understanding-perpetual-futures/–Sponsor: Framer is a design and publishing platform that collapses the toolchain between wireframes and production-ready websites.

I just had dinner with four really successful business owners—all running businesses bigger than mine—and we got talking about sales compensation plans. Once I started sharing things I honestly take for granted after 20 years in sales leadership, they were like "we hadn't thought about that." These are very smart, very successful guys, just not from the sales world. So if they found it helpful, maybe you will too. Here's the foundation: the only purpose of your comp plan is to change behavior. Charlie Munger said it perfectly: "Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." This episode breaks down three critical comp plan mistakes I see constantly: (1) Long-term commissions that look generous to you but don't change behavior next week because salespeople don't think like business owners—they think in cash, not equity or 36-month payouts, (2) Perpetual residuals that create permanent misalignment as your costs go up while their incentive to do the hard work (hunting) goes down, and (3) Having hunters farm instead of separating the roles, which misallocates both money and results. Learn why you need to reward behavior closest to when it happens, why saying "I'll fix it later" is fucked up, and how to align effort, difficulty, and value with what you're actually paying for.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Virgin Birth Theology and Historical Family Reality — James Tabor — Tabor analyzes the Protoevangelium of James, an apocryphal Christian text depicting Mary as a temple-raised perpetual virgin and Joseph as an elderly protective guardian specifically appointed to explain away Jesus's documented siblings mentioned in Gospel narratives. Tabor contrasts this "fantastic story" theological construction with historical reality of a typical Jewish woman—Mary—who likely maintained a large extended family and experienced early widowhood following Joseph's death, situating her within ordinary Jewish family and social structures rather than exceptional sacred status. 1698
An exponential Disciple-Making Movement requires real resources. But what if you could give once and fund disciple-making forever? Most ministries are stuck in an endless fundraising cycle. They spend more time chasing dollars than making disciples. But here's the reality: our discipleship model already multiplies on its own. The constraint isn't the engine—it's predictable, sustainable funding.In this video, Jeremy introduces the Discipleship Impact Fund (DIF)—a perpetual treasury designed to preserve your principal while funding disciple-making from yield, year after year. This isn't about one-time appeals or constant asks. This is about building a funding machine that works for generations.Here's what you'll discover:Why perpetual funding beats one-off donations for long-term Kingdom impactHow the DIF actually works (principal stays protected, distributions come from growth)The guardrails in place: board oversight, accountability, and disciplined stewardshipSmart giving strategies: DAF, appreciated stock, bitcoin, real estate, business equityHow your partnership scales a proven movement (5× growth, 88/10/2 financial stewardship)The numbers don't lie. Ordinary Movement has grown exponentially because ordinary people stepped into their calling. But to reach 100,000 disciple-makers, we need sustainable infrastructure. The DIF makes that possible.What if your giving could multiply disciples long after you're gone?This isn't just about funding a ministry. It's about creating a perpetual discipleship machine that outlives all of us and continues the Great Commission for generations. When you give to the DIF, you're not writing a check—you're building a legacy.Ready to take the next step?Learn more about the DIF → https://ordinarymovement.com/difPartner with OM (monthly or one-time) → https://ordinarymovement.com/partnerDownload our 2025 Ministry Overview → https://static1.squarespace.com/static/652d4067260c732edd010a67/t/690baed7e8cf99739a38ce5f/1762373335451/2025+Full+Ministry+Overview.pdf---Ordinary Movement is a discipleship platform that equips men and women to be disciples who make disciples.

Welcome to a transformative solo episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan invites listeners to reframe how they view uncertainty, chaos, and change in the agency world. Drawing from both scientific research and personal stories—including a gripping childhood encounter with real fear—Drew McLellan explores why agencies feel paralyzed by unpredictability, and more importantly, how leaders can move beyond fear to thrive in today's rapidly shifting landscape. Listeners will discover why uncertainty is baked into agency life, why our brains crave control, and why periods of upheaval—from economic turmoil and technological breakthroughs to social unrest—can actually be seen as fertile ground for growth and innovation. Drew McLellan champions the concept of a "perpetual renaissance," encouraging agency leaders to harness rather than resist continual change and to build their businesses on adaptability, creativity, and community. Throughout the episode, Drew McLellan underscores the power of belonging and reciprocal support, likening the AMI community to a network of redwoods—each agency strengthened by connection with others. He shares actionable advice on showing up as both a teacher and a student in industry salons, generously exchanging knowledge and resources so everyone thrives amid uncertainty. Insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and agency research come together with practical wisdom to reveal how leading through chaos isn't about control, but about learning to ride the storm—together. Don't miss this deeply encouraging and practical episode, especially if you're looking for ways to put fear aside and become the agency clients seek out for guidance and innovation. By embracing the value of community and the inevitability of change, you'll gain a new perspective on how to master—and even enjoy—the wild ride ahead. Join the conversation, connect with the AMI salon, and help shape the future of your agency in 2026 and beyond. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

Nearly half of all consumers now live in a state of perpetual purchase consideration, maintaining mental shopping lists that are never truly empty. With access to new sources of information and inspiration, they're constantly thinking about what they're going to buy next.But what happens when commerce isn't just something you do; it's something that you are?We kick off season 5 of Decoded with behavioral scientist and customer experience expert Ken Hughes, who joins us in exploring how shopping has evolved from an activity into an identity, particularly among Gen Z and Millennials. We unpack Ken's “Blue Dot Consumer” theory and introduce the "Shopping Consciousness Spectrum," and examine how it influences not just how we live as individuals, but how we operate as brands.The Always-On Consumer of Today Builds the B2M (Business-to-Machine) Reality of Tomorrow.Key takeaways:48% of consumers maintain perpetual mental shopping lists; for millennials, it's 2 in 3. Commerce has become a cognitive state.Gen Z is twice as likely as Boomers to wake with commerce on their minds: Different generations, fundamentally different relationships.The trust paradox: consumers share intimate details with AI but abandon carts when asked to create accounts or commit.2026 success requires understanding perpetual consideration.

Sermons from First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington Massachusetts
Rev. Dr. Jonipher Kwong, Interim Lead Minister, preaching Worship service given November 2, 2025 Prayer by Rev. Erica Federspiel Richmond, Parish Minister https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 We all have to reckon with mortality--other's and our own. If we zoom back from that finality, we recognize that every moment is already a mini death and rebirth. How do we cope with so many changes? What do we continue and what inevitably has to change? Where do we find comfort in the midst of all that grief? Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For November 2025, Chaplains On The Way will share half the plate. Founded in 2010, Chaplains On The Way is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that offers spiritual support to people experiencing homelessness in Waltham, MA. We believe that no person living in homelessness should feel they have to walk alone. We live out our mission by building trusting relations with people in Waltham, MA who are experiencing homelessness and struggling with mental health and/or substance use issues. They offer compassion and companionship through life's struggles and triumphs, welcoming all into relationship and loving community. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text "fpuu" to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive.

On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland near Geneva. Eggerding has been in the corner office since 2018 and has steered FC through a series of challenges and triumphs during his time leading the company. The Dutchman has brought more high horology and cool collaborations to the value and volume-driven brand, including perpetual calendars and tourbillons as well as more precious-metal cases. But it's a delicate balance for Frederique Constant as value-priced watches still account for more than 90% of its production volumes. Amid rising input costs and a strong Swiss franc, not to mention the challenge of U.S. tariffs, Eggerding's biggest challenge is maintaining FC's value proposition while burnishing its reputation as a serious watchmaker able to produce high-end timepieces. At the same time, he has to keep delivering sales and profit for the brand's owner, Citizen of Japan.

We discuss: The evolution of CPC from a family chemicals business to a multi-company holding group Why long-term ownership outperforms short-term investing strategies How to build companies around customer intimacy and employee satisfaction The “five key battles” CPC uses to evaluate and improve every business Lessons learned from buying, integrating, and supporting 14 companies over time Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:03:12) - Running a CEO search (00:08:26) - The story behind CPC (00:23:39) - The importance of customer intimacy (00:37:02) - CPC's long-term vision and employee engagement (00:40:33) - Executive ownership and equity (00:41:29) - Structuring equity buyouts (00:42:58) - Valuation and liquidity rights (00:44:49) - Investment strategy and business acquisition (00:47:11) - Sourcing and evaluating business opportunities (00:50:14) - Onboarding and integration of new businesses (01:03:09) - Customer lifetime value and profitability (01:09:13) - Board meetings and CEO summits (01:14:36) - AI experiments and business impact (01:18:30) - Future vision and personal goals Support our Sponsors Ramp: https://ramp.com/fort Collateral Partners: https://collateral.com/fort Chris on Social Media: Chris on X: https://x.com/fortworthchris Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefortpodcast LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/45gIkFd Watch POWERS on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3oynxNX Visit our website: https://www.powerspod.com/ Leave a review on Apple: https://bit.ly/45crFD0 Leave a review on Spotify: https://bit.ly/3Krl9jO POWERS is produced by https://www.johnnypodcasts.com/
What is the thing that Leftists are outraged about that hits home most for you?The perpetual complaint machines is what I call them. Democrats shut down the government, and now want an out. BTW, I missed the date. I said the government would be open by Oct 23.It's coming soon. I love listening to Jeffries get called to task over it, and complain that the president won see him and Schumer.

Welcome to the digital Twilight Zone, where AI is evolving faster than your weekend plans, and people are still out here using "password123!" like it's a life hack. This episode digs into the “Oh, Behave!” cybersecurity behavior report and asks the big questions: Why do we keep doing dumb things online? Can training catch up with tech? And why are Gen Zs so confident while also being the most hacked? Spoiler: it's equal parts fascinating and terrifying. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/532
As the chess world digests the devastating news of the passing of Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, I found myself thinking back to our first interview in August of 2020 (Episode 191). At the time, as chess boomed during the pandemic, Danya was ascending from promising young American player to chess commentating superstar. In the interview Danya's eloquence, empathy, and hilarious impersonations were on full display. It is among the most listened-to Perpetual Chess episodes in the podcast's 9 year history. Danya's loss is immense and I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends and many fans. - Ben 00:00 – 03:15 Ben's tribute and introduction following Danya's passing (2025) 03:16 – 04:00 2020 Interview with Danya begins- Introduction to Danya's chess background and early achievements 04:00 – 06:00 Danya on listening to Perpetual Chess and favorite episodes 06:00 – 10:00 Discussion of the Hikaru–Magnus finale and Armageddon tiebreaks 10:12 – 13:10 Early fascination with blitz and bullet chess; childhood training habits 13:10 – 16:00 Blitz addiction story and lessons from IM John Donaldson 16:00 – 21:40 Practical tips on blitz improvement — tactics, intuition, and time management 21:40 – 26:30 Deep dive into time management and “15-second rule” from Hikaru analysis 26:30 – 33:00 Stories of playing Magnus and Alireza online; Rebecca Harris account origin 33:00 – 36:15 Etiquette and psychology of elite bullet matches 36:15 – 38:10 What Danya works on to improve; paradox of bullet skill vs. classical weakness 38:10 – 40:10 Balancing streaming, teaching, and training during COVID 40:10 – 43:00 Untapped potential and thoughts on improvement as a 2600+ GM 43:00 – 45:30 The continuing value of classical chess in a fast-paced world 45:30 – 49:10 Teaching and streaming as dual passions; insights on Twitch culture 49:10 – 54:30 Streaming schedule, viewer expectations, and sustainability 54:30 – 56:30 The pressures and pitfalls of Twitch streaming; handling trolls 56:30 – 1:00:00 Patreon questions: notebooks, writing process, and early books 1:00:00 – 1:03:00 How Mastering Positional Chess came to be; influence of Russian literature 1:03:00 – 1:06:00 Formative chess books and lessons from Kasparov and Soviet literature 1:06:00 – 1:09:30 Advice for adult improvers: training priorities and tactical habits 1:09:30 – End Reflections on commentary, pedagogy, and love of teaching Photo in thumbnail via Charlotte Chess Center: https://www.charlottechesscenter.org/staff/gm-daniel-naroditsky Learn more about your ad choices.

Yvon Chouinard needs no introduction. The founder of Patagonia, pioneer of clean climbing, co-founder of 1% for the Planet, and lifelong advocate for simplicity and wildness, he's one of the world's most influential environmental leaders. Now in his mid-80s, Yvon continues to live, work, and fish by the same principles that have guided him since his dirtbag climbing days: live simply, take responsibility for your impact, and keep finding meaning through deep, direct engagement with nature. His newest book, “Pheasant Tail Simplicity: Recipes and Techniques for Successful Fly Fishing,” distills those philosophies into one of his lifelong passions—fly fishing. Co-authored with his longtime fishing buddies Craig Mathews and Mauro Mazzo, Pheasant Tail Simplicity begins as a guide to tying and fishing with only pheasant-tail flies, and becomes a case study in creativity, restraint, and how simplifying our pursuits can reconnect us to what really matters. You don't have to be a hardcore angler to glean important lessons from the book—its insights can be applied to almost any part of life. In this conversation, Yvon and I start out talking about fly fishing, of course—but we quickly veer into broader terrain: how constraints can become a path to freedom, how business can be a demonstration of ethics, and how pessimism can serve as a productive form of realism. He shares a ton of amazing stories—learning to fish with a tenkara master in Italy, teaching Crow Reservation children to fly fish, founding 1% for the Planet, why rebellious personalities make the best entrepreneurs, his love of regenerative agriculture, and why he still believes that action—no matter how small—is the cure for depression. It's a wide-ranging, funny, and wise discussion with someone who's spent a lifetime proving that the process is far more important than the outcome. During our conversation, you'll hear us reference several of Patagonia's pioneers—Kris Tompkins, Rick Ridgeway, and Vincent Stanley—all of whom I've interviewed here on Mountain & Prairie. If you'd like to listen to those episodes or check out their books, there are links in the episode notes. A huge thank-you to Patagonia, Patagonia Books, Patagonia Fly Fishing, and of course Yvon for the opportunity to have this conversation. Like many of you listeners, I've been deeply influenced by Yvon's work and worldview, so it was a dream come true to sit down with him for a long, relaxed conversation. Be sure to check out “Pheasant Tail Simplicity” and the many other excellent titles from Patagonia Books. Thanks so much for listening—I hope you enjoy. --- “Pheasant Tail Simplicity” “Simple Fly Fishing” Patagonia Books Patagonia Fly Fishing M&P Interview with Kris Tompkins M&P Interview with Rick Ridgeway M&P interview with Vincent Stanley Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/yvon-chouinard/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:50 - Intro, the blind fisherman in Labrador 5:37 - Why another book about flyfishing? 8:26 - The story of a Japanese tenkara rod 13:00 - It's the action that counts 16:03 - Democratic fly fishing 17:37 - Fishing emergers 19:45 - No shortcuts 25:12 - Simplifying sports 26:30 - Seeking constraints 29:06 - Juvenile delinquent energy 31:46 - A bug's life 36:05 - Origins of 1% for the Planet 40:16 - Yvon's regenerative ag interest 44:15 - Fighting climate change with market forces 46:36 - A happy pessimist 48:34 - Fly fishing forever 53:47 - Action as the anecdote to depression --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
Assyrian Resilience: Leadership and Perpetual Warfare after 1177 BC AUTHOR NAME: Eric Cline BOOK TITLE: After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations Professor Cline analyzes why societies like the Assyrians survived the 1177 BC collapse, identifying their successful leadership and redundant systems (government, military, writing). Since trade partners vanished, Assyrian leaders resorted to war almost yearly to acquire necessary resources. Their complex relationship with the Babylonians involved periods of alliance and fighting until the Babylonians eventually defeated them centuries later.
The Perpetual Conflict Over Executive Power and the Rise of Lawfare GUEST NAME: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the perpetual clash between executive and congressional power, particularly regarding the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. He notes the Roberts court generally protects executive power. The dispute over fund impoundment, seen in Department of State et al. versus AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, reflects deep polarization, hindering compromise. Epstein criticizes the use of lawfare, exemplified by the indictments of Letitia James and James Comey, stating it fails long-term and leads to cycles of violence and discord. 1910
