This episode is part ten in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we are going to examine brands and their values: their true values and then their marketing values (yes, most big companies have both and you might be surprised by the lack of overlap between those two sets of values).  And specifically, we are going to use Everlane as a conduit for this discussion.  We will go all the way back to Everlane's origin to identify what the brand's values were from the beginning.We will get some additional context around SHEIN's purchase of Everlane.We will learn just how much private equity is controlling fashion at this point.Amanda will debunk that myth that Everlane's sale marks the “end” of sustainability in fashion.And we will explore how "Stickergate" involved emotional branding.Listen to Amanda on Creativity In The Time of Capitalism.

When the San Francisco Giants ended the 2025 season, they found themselves at exactly .500 in the ultra-competitive NL West. After acquiring All-Star Rafael Devers during the season and making a few additions in the offseason, there was hope that the Giants would be pushing for a postseason spot in 2026. That plan, however, has not yet taken off, and things are reportedly set to change by the Bay. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss reports that President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey is set to trade away key players before the August 3 trade deadline. The surprising move suggests that the Giants may not believe this is the year for them to compete and that a reset is necessary after falling to a disappointing 29-43 record to this point in the season. The question now is: Which players are going to be moved in potential trades? Later, Jake and Jordan dream up who they would like to see in the 2026 MLB Home Run Derby, set to take place in Philadelphia next month. While there are a few obvious choices—Kyle Schwarber and Ben Rice, most notably—the guys also hope that Mike Trout could have a special moment and compete in his first-ever Derby in front of a hometown crowd. They then discuss a few key players returning from injury, the Washington Nationals' surprising success and take a look at the current manager ejection standings.   1:40 – The Opener: Giants fire sale 26:13 – Dream Home Run Derby field 52:04 – Around the League: Key returning players 56:26 – Nationals are having success 1:01:36 – Manager ejection standings Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Jeffrey Lurie has owned the Philadelphia Eagles, which he purchased in 1994, longer than his son, Julian, has been alive. But in recent years, the younger Lurie, heir to the franchise and now 31, has assumed a more pervasive and influential role in the organization. While the Eagles have made no secret about Julian's increased involvement with the team, specifics about his role have been scant. In recent months, The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane spoke to nearly two dozen sources on and off the record to gain a better understanding of not just who Julian Lurie is and what he does, but - most important of all - whether he'll be ready to assume the reins as Eagles Chairman and CEO, whenever the time comes. Jeff shares the biggest takeaways from his reporting with Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski in this companion episode to Jeff's feature article about the Eagles' succession plan, linked here: https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/a/julian-lurie-influence-eagles-ownership-succession-plan-20260617.html unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.

Should retirees live off dividends and bond interest, or use a total return strategy? Don and Tom tackle one of the most persistent myths in retirement investing: that dividend-paying stocks create safer retirement income. They explain why dividends are not “free money,” how dividend-focused portfolios can create hidden risks, and why most academic research favors a diversified total return approach. The conversation explores dividend traps, covered-call income funds, sustainable withdrawal strategies, and the importance of diversification. They also respond to a listener defending Robinhood's platform, debate gamification in investing, and discuss Philadelphia's new automatic retirement savings program designed to help workers without employer-sponsored plans.0:05 Introduction: Dividend income vs. total return investing1:44 Why retirees are attracted to dividend-focused portfolios2:19 What a total return strategy actually means3:37 The appeal of predictable dividend income4:55 High-yield ETFs and the risks behind the payouts5:03 Why dividends are not free money6:10 Larry Swedroe's argument: dividends are not income6:27 Understanding the dividend trap7:05 Extreme dividend yield example: GMEX Robotics8:35 YieldMax and triple-digit yields9:44 Why academics favor total return strategies10:48 Rebalancing as an income source in retirement11:43 The hidden risks of income-focused products13:30 Bridge-playing and retirement banter14:21 How listeners can submit questions15:12 Listener question: Is Robinhood getting unfair criticism?16:13 Robinhood, gamification, and investor behavior18:18 Why “stodgy” may be good for money management19:53 Philadelphia's new retirement savings initiative20:45 Automatic enrollment and retirement success22:30 Why saving must be made easy23:28 Free portfolio reviews at Appella24:21 Discussion of The Line Uncrossed26:47 Family history and future book possibilitiesQuestions?

Retirement but make it with beer and chocolate and pretzels!Belgium may not be the first country gay men think of when dreaming about retirement abroad.Spain gets the beaches. Portugal gets the Golden Visa glow-up. Mexico gets the “I can afford this with a side of guacamole.” Belgium gets beer, waffles, chocolate, bureaucracy, and weather that sometimes feels like central Pennsylvania has been emotionally unavailable since 1998.But don't sleep on Belgium.For LGBTQ+ retirees, Belgium offers something a lot of countries are still trying to figure out: strong LGBTQ+ protections, marriage equality, adoption rights, anti-discrimination protections, hate crime laws, excellent healthcare, reliable trains, and easy access to the rest of Europe.In this episode of Queer Money, we're ranking the top 5 cities and towns in Belgium for gay retirement abroad, with a focus on affordability, queer friendliness, lifestyle, healthcare access, transportation, and retirement fabulousness.And yes, as always, we're slightly overweighting affordability. Because everybody loves a rainbow glow-up, but we also love lower rents and being able to afford our lives the other 364 days of the year.We compare each Belgian city to Philadelphia, our touchstone city for this episode, because it's one of the more affordable LGBTQ+-inclusive big cities in the United States.This week, we cover Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and Liège, breaking down the queer vibe, cost of living, average two-bedroom rent, local LGBTQ+ organizations, bars, lifestyle fit, and our Queer Money Retirement Rating for each.Takeaways from this episode:Why Belgium may be better for gay retirement abroad than many people assumeWhich Belgian cities offer the strongest mix of affordability, culture, and LGBTQ+ friendlinessWhy Brussels has the biggest queer scene, but not the best affordability scoreWhy Antwerp may appeal to gay retirees who want style, nightlife, and queer visibilityWhy Ghent could be one of Belgium's best lifestyle sweet spotsWhy Leuven may work for retirees who want a polished, walkable university townWhy Liège takes the top spot for affordability, culture, and retirement fitHow Belgium compares with Philadelphia for cost of living and rentWhy LGBTQ+ legal protections, healthcare, trains, and quality of life make Belgium worth consideringBelgium is not the cheapest country we've covered. But if you want Western European infrastructure, LGBTQ+ protections, healthcare access, culture, trains, and a life that feels stable without feeling sleepy, Belgium deserves a closer look.Stay fabulous, not fabulously broke.Download your Queer Money Retire Abroad Checklist here.Mentioned in this episode:What if your portfolio came with a visa and passport?That's exactly what the Optimize Portugal Golden Opportunities Fund can do, bringing together diversification, tax efficiency, and a path to EU residency and a passport.

SN Hockey Analyst Mike Johnson joins the show to discuss changes to CBC's Hockey Night In Canada, what he thinks of the Leafs' Joseph Woll trade to Philadelphia, the new current Maple Leafs depth chart, the future of Matthew Knies with the Maple Leafs, what a reasonable return for Morgan Rielly is if Toronto decides to move him, and if John Tortorella could be a fit in Toronto.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 2 on OverDrive! TSN Hockey Analyst Mike Johnson joins the show to discuss changes to CBC's Hockey Night In Canada, what he thinks of the Leafs' Joseph Woll trade to Philadelphia, the new current Maple Leafs depth chart, the future of Matthew Knies with the Maple Leafs, what a reasonable return for Morgan Rielly is if Toronto decides to move him, and if John Tortorella could be a fit in Toronto. MLB.com Blue Jays Reporter Keegan Matheson joins to chat early All-Star voting results, if there has been talks of a closed door meeting, and if Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s mentality has changed at all amidst his slump. Bryan wraps things up with Best Bets.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.  Brad is first joined by Alex Lawson, Executive Director of 'Social Security Works.'  The pair discusses GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments that Republicans will cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in 2027. Alex also shares how Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Democratic members of the House, plan to schedule a vote to expand Social Security, if they win back the House in the November midterms. Finally, he also recaps his exciting visit to Netroots Nation 2026 that just took place in Philadelphia, and he previews '7 Days in DC: A Week of Democracy in Action.' (Find out more here: 7daysindc.com/#about) Then, Brad is joined by Sarah Jones, Editor-in-Chief for PoliticusUSA.   The two discuss what details are known thus far of Trump's Iran peace deal, including reporting that the deal has no agreements about Iran's nuclear program, which is why the President told the country he started this war. Next, they explain why Trump's UFC cage fight on the White House Lawn for his 80th birthday wasn't just a fantastic waste of taxpayer money, it was yet another stain he's left on the image of the White House, and the country. Lastly, Sarah shares how Trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center, following his loss in court on the matter, symbolizes the end of his power in a very important and motivating way.

Eliot Shorr-Parks joins Ike Reese, Spike Eskin, and Jack Fritz to reveal his rankings of the top 11 athletes in Philadelphia. The group engages in a heated debate over whether Jalen Hurts belongs at the top of the list above Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sánchez.

The WIP Morning Team shares their top 11 Philadelphia athletes right now. The team discusses Gabriel Alejandro Rincones Jr.'s first MLB hit, a home run for the Phillies against the Miami Marlins. They continue to analyze the Nick Sirianni article in The Athletic, discussing his winning mentality and competitiveness. The team says the biggest issue they have with Hurts at quarterback is the lack of running.

The WIP Morning Team debates what Jalen Hurts' future is with the Philadelphia Eagles. A recent article by Joseph Santoliquito of Bleeding Green Nation claimed that Jalen Hurts feels unsupported by the Eagles organization. They share their top 11 lists of current athletes in Philadelphia. The team argues over Nick Sirianni's coaching style and discusses the FIFA World Cup, which is taking place in Philadelphia.

The WIP Morning Team debates whether Jalen Hurts is the quarterback of the future for the Philadelphia Eagles. Eliot Shorr-Parks argues that the team is not treating him like he will be the future.

The WIP Morning Team discusses the World Cup, which is being hosted in several cities, including Philadelphia. Eliot Shorr-Parks uses it as another example of why he believes Philadelphia needs a dome. The team listens to Time's Yours and reacts.

The Philadelphia 76ers could have found the perfect target for the 22nd pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Today, we break down the draft profile of Houston forward/center Chris Cenac Jr., a former top-10 high school recruit whose athleticism, versatility, and two-way upside make him one of the most intriguing prospects linked to Philadelphia. With the Sixers needing immediate contributors around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Paul George, could Cenac be the rare prospect who can provide both short-term impact and long-term upside? We discuss why Chris Cenac Jr. may be the best fit for the Sixers' roster, and why he has become one of RB's favorite targets in this year's draft class. Today, we discuss it all!

In this third episode of our season-long exploration of Quakers and Money, Peterson Toscano and Diana Yañez turn toward one of the largest and most difficult questions of the series: How do Friends live with integrity inside capitalism? Last month, we explored relational finance and asked whether taking responsibility for our money and institutional assets can lead to deeper integrity and more equitable power-sharing. This month, Peterson names the friction many Friends feel: the sense of being trapped in a massive economic system built on extraction, inequity, colonialism, and environmental harm. Through conversations with Lisa Graustein, Nathan Kleban, David Watt, and Traci Hjelt Sullivan, this episode examines the spiritual dissonance between Quaker values and capitalist structures. We hear about stolen land, inherited wealth, paternalism in charitable giving, the legacy of slavery in Quaker history, and the denial made possible by class and racial privilege. Rather than offering easy answers, Peterson and Diana ask what it means to stay on a journey with truth. If capitalism harms people and the planet, how might Friends move beyond individual purity or denial and toward mutual aid, community wealth-building, repair, and solidarity? In This Episode The Dissonance: Peterson reflects on the gap between Quaker faith and a global economy built on extraction and inequity. Capitalism and White Supremacy: Lisa Graustein names capitalism and white supremacy as forces that keep the here and now from becoming the realm of God. Stolen Land and Reparative Responsibility: Lisa shares the story of New England Yearly Meeting selling property after repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery and raises questions about what should happen to profits from land acquired through colonization. From Charity to Right Relationship: Nathan Kleban of Right Sharing of World Resources challenges paternalistic models of giving and asks who the economy is actually for. Quaker Wealth and Enslavement: David Watt, professor of Quaker studies at Haverford College, reminds us that some early Quaker wealth in Philadelphia was tied to Barbados, sugar plantations, and the labor of enslaved people. The Wealth of Not Having Debt: Traci Hjelt Sullivan expands the definition of ancestral wealth, naming the opportunities that come from beginning adult life without student debt. The Inner Capitalist: Diana reminds us that the Quaker belief in “that of God in everyone” also extends to capitalists, and to the parts of ourselves that continue to benefit from extractive systems. Our Guests Lisa Graustein Lisa Graustein is a Quaker educator, activist, and writer whose work often explores money, power, race, and reparative justice. In this episode, she reflects on inherited wealth, stewardship, and the responsibility to repair harm caused through the accumulation of resources. Nathan Kleban Nathan Kleban works with Right Sharing of World Resources, a Quaker organization that supports women-led economic projects in the Global South. Nathan brings a relational and community-centered lens to economics, asking how people get their needs met and how communities express their gifts outside extractive systems. David Watt David Watt is the Douglas and Dorothy Steere Professor of Quaker Studies at Haverford College. In this episode, he offers historical context about Quaker wealth, including the connections between early Philadelphia Friends, Barbados, sugar plantations, and slavery. Traci Hjelt Sullivan Traci Hjelt Sullivan is the executive director of Right Sharing of World Resources. She brings decades of nonprofit leadership and international experience to her work. In this episode, she reflects on truth, denial, race, class, debt, and the spiritual work of recognizing our own responsibility. Resources and Recommendations QuakerSpeak: “What If Wall Street Were Honest?” https://quakerspeak.com/video/what-if-wall-street-were-honest/ North Carolina Quaker Mark Hulbert has tracked investment advisors since the early 1980s. In this QuakerSpeak video, he talks about how his Quaker background and commitment to integrity led him to ask whether Wall Street advisors were telling the truth. Spent https://playspent.org/ Diana recommends Spent, a free browser-based survival game that places players inside the poverty trap. You begin with $1,000 and try to survive for 30 days while making impossible choices: pay rent, fix the car, buy medicine, or keep the lights on. It offers one way to better understand how expensive it can be to be poor in the current economic system. Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1575 Diana references Federici's work while discussing the relationship between capitalism, labor control, gendered violence, and colonialism. The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374157357/thedawnofeverything/ Diana also points to this book while reflecting on European colonialism, the construction of human hierarchy, and the ideas that shaped the modern world. Organizations Mentioned Right Sharing of World Resources: https://rswr.org/ A Quaker organization that supports women's self-help groups in the Global South through seed grants and relationship-based partnerships. Earth Quaker Action Team: https://eqat.org/ A grassroots Quaker organization that uses nonviolent direct action to challenge systems of economic and environmental injustice. New England Yearly Meeting: https://neym.org/ A regional body of the Religious Society of Friends is mentioned in Lisa Graustein's story about land, reparative responsibility, and the Doctrine of Discovery. Haverford College / David Harrington Watt: https://www.haverford.edu/users/dhwatt David Watt teaches Quaker studies at Haverford College and appears in this episode to discuss Quaker history, wealth, slavery, and capitalism.

Get ready for an explosive episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast as hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash welcome Jack McFarland, a 32-year DEA veteran and former Quantico instructor, to HR's Most Dangerous Podcast. In this high-stakes interview, McFarland bridges the gap between federal law enforcement and corporate leadership, sharing gripping stories from his rise through the streets of Philadelphia during the crack epidemic to commanding major cartel investigations and leading elite teams in the Caribbean. He breaks down the elite psychology of hand-picking teams, the critical art of vetting human intelligence, and why managing special agents is exactly like coaching high school football. From his old-school 1987 application process to a wild, modern-day run in the casting semi-finals for reality TV's The Traitors, Jack blends sharp humor with serious operational wisdom. Plus, he pulls back the curtain on federal mandatory retirement at age 57, delivering a raw look at institutional ageism and why agencies are forced to rehire retirees to fix massive staffing shortages. Whether you are scaling a company, managing risk, or navigating corporate politics, this wide-ranging conversation delivers actionable leadership principles straight from the front lines.

If you are within three feet of Ed Mathews, you are probably talking about real estate. This week the conversation is with Tom Dunkel, managing principal at Eagle Capital Investments, and it is a clinic in how to vet a deal before a dollar leaves your account. Tom has been a full-time investor for two decades. Over that span he has raised more than $50 million in private capital from a network of investors who lean on his experience to place money into alternatives most people never see: multifamily, self-storage, mobile home parks, medical office, and private lending. His pitch is simple. Real diversification is not large cap versus small cap or value versus growth. It is owning assets that do not move when a headline does. As Tom puts it, a tsunami hitting Japan can knock the stock market down 15 percent overnight, but it does nothing to an apartment building in Phoenix or a storage facility in North Carolina. The backbone of the episode is Tom's SAFE Investing Method, the same screen he uses every day. S is for sponsor: who are you writing the check to, what is their track record, and have you earned the right to ask the hard questions. A is for asset: if you cannot explain the investment to your kid or your elderly parent, you do not understand it well enough to fund it. F is for financials: do the projections hold up, and has this sponsor actually hit numbers like these before. E is for exit: you cannot click your way out of a syndication on a Tuesday afternoon, so you need to know exactly what has to happen, and over what time horizon, before your money comes back. Then Tom goes off the mainstream script on taxes. The standard advice is to 1031 exchange again and again until you die and hand your heirs a stepped-up basis. Tom's question is blunt: do you really want to be managing properties at 90 the way his mother could be. He prefers the lazy man's 1031, taking the gain, then using fresh depreciation from the next deal to shelter income, all without the rigid timelines and same-title rules that make a true 1031 nearly impossible across a group of 20 or 30 investors. Pay the freedom tax, he argues, and buy yourself passive income and time. The buy box conversation is just as practical. Tom likes private lending for first-position security and monthly checks. He likes mobile home parks and co-living because they answer the housing affordability crisis with real, unsubsidized supply, and he breaks down how a Philadelphia operator turns a $1,000 row home into $3,000 a month by renting furnished rooms to tenants on fixed income. He covers where self-storage sits after its boom and consolidation, and why he treats it like multifamily underwriting now. On technology, Tom is candid that he is still early but already getting leverage from AI. His current workflow is to go back and forth with Claude to build a long, specific prompt, then hand it to Manus for deep research on a market like Phoenix multifamily. He even has an AI clone at tomdunkel.ai that will answer your investing questions, as long as you do not bring up the Eagles. The lightning round digs into purpose beyond family, the best advice he ever got from a nine-figure investor, a job he probably should have turned down, and how he defines success now as an empty nester: geographic and time freedom, plus the room to give back through Tunnel to Towers and a scholarship he started for a friend lost to ALS. Find Tom at investwitheagle.com, grab his book The Wealth Builder's Playbook, or talk to his clone at tomdunkel.ai.

The Carolina Panthers offseason is heating up, and there's a lot to unpack. We start with four UFL standouts who could realistically land in Carolina after the league's 2026 season wrapped up: quarterback Jack Plummer, the UFL's reigning MVP who once again has ties to this Panthers regime; tight end Sal Cannella, a big-bodied pass catcher who already impressed at Bank of America Stadium last preseason; defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs, who could help fill the void left by Tershawn Wharton's neck injury; and outside linebacker Cam Gill, last year's UFL Defensive Player of the Year. Given Carolina's history of pulling from these alternative leagues, none of these names should be considered a long shot.From there, we dive into the tight end conversation that's followed this franchise for years. Greg Olsen, still the gold standard at the position in Carolina history, joined a Charlotte radio show to give his honest evaluation of the current room. Olsen praised the effort and development of Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Mitchell Evans, but didn't shy away from the bigger question: is there a true difference-maker in that group, or does the front office eventually need to invest in one? With the Panthers pouring resources into their receiver corps and offensive line, Olsen believes tight end could be the final piece of the offensive puzzle.We also cover a roster move that flew a little under the radar — the Panthers waiving tight end Bryce Pierre after he spent the offseason program on injured reserve. We go through his college career at Arizona State and UCLA, his brief stint on Carolina's practice squad, and what his departure means for the tight end depth chart heading into camp.Finally, we break down ESPN analyst Mike Clay's projected win probability for every single game on the Panthers' 2026 schedule. The numbers aren't kind to the reigning NFC South champions, with several matchups — including a road trip to Philadelphia and a tough stretch against Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Seattle — putting Carolina as significant underdogs. We go week-by-week through the full slate and discuss whether these projections feel fair or whether this team is being undersold once again.As always, we want to hear from you. Drop your thoughts in the comments: should the Panthers go after any of these UFL free agents? Does Greg Olsen have a point about the tight end room? And do you trust these win projections, or do you think Carolina outperforms them in 2026? Like, comment, and subscribe for more Panthers coverage all offseason long.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see a few MBA programs release their final decisions, and candidates reporting their admissions from waitlists. We do still anticipate some more waitlist movement in the weeks ahead. Graham noted that Clear Admit is planning its MBA Essay Workshop events series that is scheduled for July 21 and 22, and July 28 and 29. These events will bring together the majority of the top MBA programs to discuss both their written essay prompts as well as their video essays. Early signups are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham noted his presence in Philadelphia this week (the week prior to the airing of the show) as he prepares to present a workshop at the annual GMAC conference. Graham also highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline featuring a student from LBS who spent a week in Austin Texas, as part of LBS's global experience program. Clear Admit also featured a story of two students at Johns Hopkins / Carey, who created a startup at the intersection of health care and AI. Finally, Graham highlighted the return of the Weekly Refresh series which updates admissions candidates on the latest admissions deadlines and essay topics from all the top MBA programs. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate already has an MBA from India. They are an engineering undergraduate who has worked in the insurance industry. This week's second MBA applicant is from Bangladesh and works in corporate banking. They have a 655 GMAT score. This week's final MBA candidate is deciding between Booth and Fuqua. They want to transition into consulting. This episode was recorded in Philadelphia, PA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.
