Investing in any market can feel daunting — but it doesn't have to. In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido sits down with Jim Cramer, investor, author, and host of Mad Money, to explore what it really takes to build wealth and confidence over time.Cramer's latest book, How to Make Money in Any Market, continues his mission of empowering everyday investors to take control of their financial futures. From lessons learned running a hedge fund to insights from decades in media, Cramer's message is clear: you don't need to be a professional to succeed - you just need discipline, curiosity, and patience. From the birth of the “FAANG” concept to the story behind naming his dog Nvidia, Cramer shares personal stories that illuminate his broader philosophy — that investing is about persistence, not prediction. He and Oscar also discuss long-term trends in capital markets, the role of index investing, and why hope and participation remain central to a healthy investing mindset.This episode covers:· Why Cramer believes this is the right moment for a new playbook on investing.· The power of compounding and why saving regularly still works in today's capital markets.· How technology — from online research to tools like ChatGPT — has transformed access to information.· Why he encourages investors to “do the homework” or choose a diversified index approach if they can't.· His pyramid-style investing framework: build positions slowly, remove emotion, and let time work for you.· What he's learned from mistakes, like overconfidence or losing faith too soon.· How curiosity, observation, and understanding the “craft” can help investors find opportunities all around them.Key timestamps in this episode:00:00 Introduction to Investing with Jim Cramer00:50 Jim Cramer's Journey and New Book02:37 The Importance of Saving and Investing04:12 How to Analyze Stocks and Develop Market Strategies06:10 Jim's Investment Ethos and Practical Advice19:16 Personal Insights and Lightning Round21:57 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewMad Money, Investing in any market, Stock market trends, Capital markets, Long-term investing, Financial education, Retail investors, Compounding, AI investingThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Are you tired of hearing about AI being the future while having no clue where to actually start today? Feeling overwhelmed by all the AI tools, platforms, and promises that seem more like science fiction than practical business solutions? You're not alone – and frankly, most of the AI advice out there is either too technical, too expensive, or just plain too theoretical for real business owners trying to run profitable companies. Here's the problem: Everyone's talking about AI transformation, but nobody's showing you the actual playbook that works whether you're running a 90-person agency or working solo from your kitchen table. You're being sold on massive enterprise solutions when what you really need is someone to say, 'Here's exactly how I use ChatGPT 20 times a day to make better decisions, write better emails, and run my business more efficiently - and here's how you can adapt these same systems even without a team.' Well, today we're solving that problem once and for all. I'm bringing you Ron Callis Jr., CEO and Co-Founder of One Firefly, a marketing powerhouse that serves technology integrators across North America. Ron isn't just talking about AI – he's living it daily. This is the guy who's built custom GPTs for project management, uses AI for everything from podcast preparation to employee reviews, and has systematically integrated AI into his leadership workflow without losing the human touch that built his business. Ron was recognized as a CE Pro Masters Class honoree for his industry contributions, has mentored robotics teams, and has been building and scaling businesses for over two decades. But what makes him perfect for today's conversation is that he's not selling you AI dreams – he's going to share the exact tools, prompts, and processes he uses every single day to lead his team and grow his business. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Ron Callis about: ✨ Start Where You Are: Begin with one daily AI workflow that eliminates your biggest time drain - Ron shows how his email system works with or without an assistant ✨ Systems That Scale With You: Learn how to build AI workflows that work solo today but can grow with your business tomorrow ✨ Practical Over Perfect: See real examples of AI implementation that prioritize results over complexity - no technical degree required Learn more about Ron Callis Connect with Ron Callis on LinkedIn Resources & Brands mentioned in this episode One Firefly What Is a Custom GPT?

Tendons adapt to training, but the mechanisms are complex. The Berlin Method emphasizes high loads for tendon adaptation. Muscle strength is important, but technique and application matter more. Calf muscles are notoriously difficult to grow in strength. Tendons require time to recover and adapt to training loads. Creep studies on tendons are often conducted in mechanical settings, not in vivo. Tendon strain measurements can vary significantly based on methodology. Individual differences in tendon response necessitate personalized training. Females may experience different tendon adaptations compared to males.

In this must-listen episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Arthur Sinodinos, Australia's former Ambassador to the United States and key figure in the Australia-United Kingdom-United States (AUKUS) security pact, to get the exclusive inside story on how this landmark agreement came to be, how they dealt with fallout from capitals in China, France, and Southeast Asia, and why this agreement is a strategic game-changer for the Indo-Pacific region and global security.AUKUS Origins & Negotiations: Ambassador Sinodinos takes listeners behind the scenes, sharing firsthand accounts of the tense and complex negotiations that led to the historic AUKUS pact. Learn how shifting geopolitics, submarine technology, and strategic urgency propelled Australia to pursue nuclear-powered submarines, pivoting away from a French deal to partner with the US and UK.The Political Hurdles and Breakthroughs: Hear exclusive details on the US administration's priorities—affordability, bipartisan support, and non-proliferation—and the roles played by world leaders in making AUKUS a reality. Sinodinos delves into how the agreement was shaped amidst the skepticism, and how subsequent legislative reforms have already boosted technology sharing and industrial collaboration among the allies.Regional and Global Impact: This episode addresses the shockwaves AUKUS sent through the Indo-Pacific and beyond: the diplomatic fallout with France, reactions from China and ASEAN countries, and the challenges of keeping such a monumental agreement secret until the last moment. Sinodinos also discusses the "Pillar Two" focus on advanced capabilities like AI, quantum, and cyber, adding another level of strategic cooperation.The Future of AUKUS and Defence Policy: The conversation explores ongoing debates in Australia—including headwinds from prominent critics, questions about US commitment, and concerns about defence spending thresholds.

Damien is purpose built for this company, which is a statement he's heard from one of his investors that being Will Lehman. When you hear about Damien's background story, it's hard to argue.

In addition, he has worn several different hats throughout his career (I'm talking Solutions Architecture… Product Marketing… Product Management… and other roles) that have all put him in a strong position to lead a venture backed startup. Nebulock is an autonomous threat hunting platform designed from scratch for behavior-based detection. By connecting directly to identity, endpoint, and cloud telemetry, Nebulock continuously hunts threats, surfaces hidden anomalies, and automatically increases your detection coverage.

Feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of leadership today? Tune in to learn how building your self-regulation can help you navigate dysregulated times and have more effective conversations. In this episode, my co-host Jenn David-Lang and I had the pleasure of speaking with the amazing Jennifer Abrams, whom I see as a guru of interpersonal relations in education. Jennifer, a full-time international consultant and author of impactful books like Having Hard Conversations and Stretching Your Learning Edge: Growing (up) at Work, joined us to explore the critical topic of self-regulation in dysregulated times. We talked about living in a VUKA world, Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous, and how we need to build complexity fitness by developing our cognitive, emotional, and psychological skills. Jennifer shared that becoming more self-regulated involves building self-awareness, like cleaning up our emotional "dust". It turns out only about 10-15% of people are truly self-aware, and one way to improve is by bravely asking for 360 feedback from your team. We also dove into practical skills for leaders navigating challenging moments, such as learning to suspend certainty that your way is the only way. Saying "Tell me more" instead of reacting can be incredibly powerful. For extroverts like me, focusing on listening instead of jumping in is key. I shared my favorite tactic when someone is stressed: asking, "How long do we have to make this decision?". This simple question helps shift from feeling "subject" to circumstances to viewing them more "objectively". Jennifer left us with powerful parting advice: "Go have humane, growth-producing conversations. That's the goal.".
