Scott Galloway is spearheading a consumer-led protest movement with a simple goal: to get people to cancel their subscriptions to tech companies that have disproportionate influence over the U.S. economy. The New York University marketing professor and Kara's “Pivot” co-host says targeting the companies that dominate the stock market — and by extension many of the CEOs who've cozied up to President Trump — is an easy way to pressure an administration that doesn't respond to citizen outrage or media criticism.  Kara and Scott talk about his goals for the Resist and Unsubscribe campaign, how he came up with a list of companies worth targeting, and the outsized impact unsubscribing can have on a tech company's market capitalization. They also talk about the potential to extend the Resist and Unsubscribe boycott beyond February.  Questions? Comments?

Aaron McIntire steps back from the daily news grind for a big-picture analysis of Secretary of State Marco Rubio's powerful Munich Security Conference speech, where he urged Europe to reject managed decline, reclaim pride in Western heritage, and build a revitalized transatlantic alliance capable of defending itself—framing it as a Gandalf-like call to break free from globalist complacency. The episode contrasts this with Hillary Clinton's surprising admission that mass migration has been "disruptive and destabilizing," questioning whether it's a genuine concession to Trump's long-standing arguments or a tactical moderation play by the left to regain power and continue internal threats to civilization. A deep meta discussion on the nonlinear unfolding of history, the end of the post-WWII "rules-based order" treating all nations as equals regardless of contribution, and the current great-power era where America signals it's ready to go it alone if allies won't step up.   Marco Rubio, Munich Security Conference, Western civilization, Hillary Clinton, immigration pivot, great replacement, transatlantic alliance, globalism, rules-based order, Europe decline, Aaron McIntire, AM Update

In dieser Deep-Dive-Folge spricht Markus mit Simona Hübl, Co-Founder & CEO von Nejo, über ihren Weg vom VC-Umfeld in die eigene Gründung und warum der Jobmarkt dringend neu gedacht werden muss. Nach mehreren Jahren im Investing stieg sie bewusst aus operativen VC-Rollen aus, um selbst zu gründen. Nach einem Pivot entstand Nejo, eine KI-gestützte Karriereplattform für den DACH-Raum. Simona erklärt, warum klassische Jobplattformen nur einen Bruchteil der verfügbaren Stellen sichtbar machen, weshalb Keyword-Matching oft ins Leere läuft und wie Nejo mit skills-basiertem, transparentem KI-Matching relevantere Ergebnisse ermöglichen will.Production: Hanna Moser Musik (Intro/Outro): www.sebastianegger.com

Uncovering Your True Potential: You're Stronger Than You Think!Watch it here: https://youtu.be/kIOPHYWGtrEChris welcomes listeners back to the Further Your Lifestyle Podcast and introduces Episode 246, using “roundabouts” as a metaphor for feeling stuck because of indecision rather than lack of progress. He explains how busyness can create an illusion of momentum while masking fear of commitment and change, and how overthinking, over-researching, and fear of taking the wrong exit can lead to procrastination. He discusses overwhelm from too many options, the importance of clarifying what you truly want, and not letting external opinions dictate your choices, sharing his own example of building a successful clothing business on eBay despite others saying it wasn't possible. Chris emphasizes that wrong exits can still provide learning and boundaries, that sometimes you must create your own path, and that decisions require intention and consideration of consequences. He ends with reflection questions about what you're currently circling, what fears are holding you back, what could open up if you act, and a reminder that motion without forward movement isn't growth; exiting doesn't require certainty, just direction and confidence, with a nod to prior episodes 244 and 245 on small changes.00:00 Welcome Back + Why You Feel Stuck Mid-Year01:21 The Roundabout Metaphor: Circling Without Choosing an Exit02:42 Illusion of Momentum: Busy Doesn't Mean Progress04:24 Fear of the Wrong Exit: Overthinking & Analysis Paralysis05:39 Too Many Signs: Overwhelm, Clarity, and Ignoring Outside Noise07:24 Take the Exit Anyway: Learn, Pivot, and Build Your Own Road09:15 Calculated Risks: Quitting Jobs, Real-Life Constraints, and Change10:09 Reflection Questions + Final Push to Choose Direction12:11 Wrap-Up: Share the Episode & See You Next WeekPodcast Sponsors:Robert PiperHi Voltage BargainsEthan “Rooshock” The BOLO Hunter PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod► Let's CONNECT on social media:▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.comMUSIC:» via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrvContinue the conversation: @furtheryourlifestyleJoin the Newsletter: check it out

“They would have had to cut my foot off before I didn't play in Super Bowl.” Nick Emmanwori  They say Defense wins championships, and the Seattle Seahawks backed that statement up with one of the fiercest units! Keeping up Pivot tradition, we travled to the home of the world champions post Super Bowl to sit down with Nick Emmanwori, the Seattle Seahawks' rookie safety who defied the odds and finished his first NFL season on top of the league. Nick takes us inside an unforgettable year — from his Nigerian roots to being selected as the 35th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, to becoming an anchor of Seattle's defense and a key contributor to their championship run.  We get into the biggest question looming Super Bowl week when a video of Nick surfaced not being able to walk as he opens up on the ankle injury scare heard round the football world as he shares missing the biggest game of his life was never an option and what he did to push through the unknown to stay locked in mentally and physically to help his team win the Lombardi. He takes Ryan, Channing and Fred into the locker room mentality to paint a picture of what Seattle truly built the past year and why he trusts a repeat is not off the table, recognizing all the pieces that need too fall in place to go back to back. Beyond the big game, we dive deep into the ups and downs of his rookie campaign, falling to the second round of draft and rebounding with the early-season growth that earned him Defensive Rookie of the Year buzz and how he battled adversity to find his confidence on the biggest stages. Relying on veteran leadership, Seattle's locker room bonded together on a mission to never let outside noise affect the team goal which created the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense, known as the "Dark side". He opens up about his bond with head coach Mike Macdonald and what he had to do to soak in all of the football knowledge to adapt to X & O schemes that elevated his play. Nick also opens up about the bond with Sam Darnold, whose own redemption arc culminated in a sturdy Super Bowl performance — proving that heart and leadership can outweigh the critics. The guys reflect on resilience, leadership, and the lessons learned in a season that none of his team will ever forget. And we couldn't not ask about the women in his life, from his mom's viral interview Super Bowl week to Dawn Stalely wearing his jersey to his girlfriend, Raven Johnson's unconditional support...this conversation covers it all. From draft dreams to the Lombardi Trophy, this is the inside story of a rookie who refused to be ordinary and a team that rewrote the championship narrative.

Are floral freight rates the first warning sign of a tightening reefer market? Is Florida enforcement reshaping capacity faster than most carriers expected? Are you positioned for the Southeast produce surge before the peak season hits? Dean Croke of DAT Freight & Analytics is back to break down how Valentine's Day floral demand funneled through Miami pushed outbound freight rates up, why immigration scale house enforcement is cutting reefer capacity, and how the upcoming produce season will impact national trucking rates, refrigerated freight trends, and contract negotiations.

If you've been telling yourself you're unmotivated or burnt out or lazy or somehow broken, I want you to pause for a second. Because there's a good chance that none of that is true. There's a good chance you're not lacking drive. You're avoiding grief. The Grief Creative Entrepreneurs Don't Name Before you check out, this isn't about tragedy or loss in the obvious sense. This is about the kind of grief that creative entrepreneurs rarely name. It's grief for expectations that didn't pan out. The grief of versions of yourself you thought you'd be by now. The grief of timelines that expired. Most people don't talk about this because it feels dramatic. But it's not dramatic. It's subtle and it's quiet, and it shows up as I just can't get myself to do the thing. What Grief Actually Looks Like Creative entrepreneurs are really good at mislabeling this. We call it burnout or lack of motivation or discipline. But what's actually happening is something inside of you is unfinished. And for people like us, that's hard to deal with. It's not a task. It's a feeling. Grief doesn't always look like crying. Sometimes it looks like: Doom scrolling Procrastinating Getting yourself ready to do the thing, and then just sitting there Rearranging your workspace for the fifth time instead of starting Productivity with no direction You're doing things. You're just not doing that thing. The one that matters. The one that could move you forward. Because moving forward would mean acknowledging what didn't happen, and that's the part we avoid. Why We Skip Grief (And What Happens When We Do) We're taught to stay positive, right? How many times have you been told that? Just stay positive. Reframe. Pivot. Look for the lesson. And yes, okay, that's useful eventually. But grief doesn't like being bypassed. If you skip it, it doesn't just disappear. It shows up as fatigue or lack of desire that you can't really explain. And you might tell yourself, I should be more grateful. Other people have it worse. And that could be true. But gratitude doesn't cancel grief. They can coexist. You can be grateful for what you have and still mourn what you lost or what you never got. A lot of creative entrepreneurs are carrying grief for things that never had a funeral. What You Might Be Grieving The career that didn't take off the way you imagined. When I was a child, I knew with my whole heart I was going to be doing Shakespeare in the park. That didn't turn out for me. Maybe it will someday, but that's something I've had to grieve. A version of yourself that you believed would be easier to have by now. No one really tells you how to grieve those things, so you don't. You just kind of push harder, or you stop pushing altogether, and then you judge yourself for it. Here's something important: Motivation is an output. It is not a moral quality. It tends to disappear when you're carrying unresolved emotional weight. Grief is heavy. And when you start to notice it, you realize your body isn't resisting the work. It's protecting you from feeling something that you haven't given yourself permission to feel. Grief Doesn't Resolve with Time, It Resolves with Attention Avoiding grief looks like waiting for clarity or inspiration or to feel like yourself. But grief doesn't resolve on its own with time. It resolves with attention. I'm not saying you need to fall apart or wallow or stop working and take a break. I'm just saying you might need to acknowledge what you've been pretending didn't matter. Because I say that to myself all the time when something doesn't pan out for me. I'm like, oh, well it didn't matter. It did matter. Ask yourself this, very gently: What version of my life am I quietly disappointed didn't happen? What did I believe would be true by now that isn't? What am I still trying to outrun by staying busy, or by doing nothing? These questions aren't meant to derail you. They're meant to unstick you. Because grief that goes unnamed will keep hijacking your energy. Grief Isn't the Opposite of Ambition This is the part most people miss. Grief isn't the opposite of ambition. It's often the doorway back to it. Because once you stop pretending you're fine with something you're not fine with, your energy starts to return. As this steady willingness to engage again. You don't have to fix the grief. You just have to stop avoiding it. Sometimes that looks like saying out loud: I thought I'd be further along by now. Sometimes it looks like letting yourself feel sad without immediately turning it into a lesson. Sometimes it looks like saying: This didn't go the way that I hoped. And that honesty doesn't weaken you. It frees up space. And from that space, guess what comes back? Motivation. Not forced or frantic, but grounded. What Happens After You Acknowledge Grief Things don't suddenly feel amazing. But they do feel clearer. And clarity can feel uncomfortable. Because grief, when you acknowledge it, has a way of reorganizing things. You might realize you don't want what you used to want anymore. You might notice certain goals feel hollow now. That chapter is really done. That can be destabilizing, especially for creative entrepreneurs, because so much of our identity is wrapped up in our projects. We're so used to asking, What's next? What's the plan? What am I building toward? And grief doesn't answer those questions. It asks a different one: What matters now? And sometimes that answer is smaller than you expected. Sometimes it's rest, or simplifying, or choosing depth over growth. The Fear of Slowing Down This is where people start to panic. An actor actually said this to me a couple days ago: If I slow down, I'll lose everything. If I stop pushing, I will fall behind. I can't let myself feel this because I won't come back from it. But avoiding grief doesn't keep you in motion. It keeps you stuck in cycles. Push, crash, recover, repeat. Push, crash, recover, repeat. Acknowledging grief is often what interrupts that loop. Grief Recalibrates Your Tolerance Grief inconveniently recalibrates your tolerance for bullshit. Things you used to tolerate now suddenly feel unbearable. Projects that once felt exciting now feel draining. Obligations you said yes to out of fear start to feel misaligned. This isn't you becoming difficult. It's you becoming honest with yourself. And honesty has consequences. You might disappoint people. You might change your mind. You might need to renegotiate your relationships. That's part of it. Grow up. Grief strips away the versions of ourselves that we've built to survive, not necessarily to thrive. And yeah, that can feel scary because survival strategies are familiar, even when they're exhausting. The Reframe That Matters You're shedding urgency that no longer makes sense. You're letting goals go that were fueled by pressure instead of your actual desire. That space is more sustainable for you because that's where you can really grow. Not in panic. Rooted in choice. Grief clears the noise so you can hear that steady place again. What to Do Next Don't ask what's wrong with you. Nothing's wrong with you. Ask yourself: What am I asking myself to ignore? What disappointments haven't I named? What ending haven't I acknowledged? What hope am I still holding onto that might need to be released? This isn't about giving up. It's about letting go of what's already gone so you can show up fully to what is here now. Sometimes you're going to feel fine. Sometimes it's going to hit you sideways in the middle of a workday. Sometimes it's just going to make you tired. All of that is normal. What matters is that you stop treating those moments like obstacles to productivity. They're information. Your system saying, Hey, pay attention to this. And if you let yourself listen, even just for a second, you might find that motivation starts to come back in small ways. This willingness to engage again. This okay, yeah, I can do the next thing. And the next thing.

Tesla is embarking on a shift in business operations, and the implications for the semiconductor industry could be significant. In this video, we examine Tesla's 2026 capital expenditure (CapEx) outlook through the lens of operating leverage.With a projected $20 billion in CapEx for 2026—not including the proposed TeraFab, Tesla is moving further away from being just an automaker and closer to becoming a vertically integrated robotics and AI powerhouse. What does this mean for current suppliers like Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Micron? We break down the risks of Tesla shoring up its own supply chain and how it could shift pricing power back away from the chipmakers.Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider, sign up on our website: www.chipstockinvestor.com/membershipSupercharge your analysis with AI!

A book full of potential comparisons to our own day for the motivated, and strangely removed from our own day if you're really going to be honest about it.  The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany By: William L. Shirer Published: 1960 1250 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A comprehensive history of Nazi Germany, from Hitler's birth to the Nuremberg trials. Written by someone who was there for a great deal of the most important period. What authorial biases should I be aware of? Shirer is a journalist, not a historian, but he did have access to the German state and party archives, plus some diaries, etc. that were captured at the end of the war. Plus he witnessed the rise of Hitler in the 30's. I love passages like this: No wonder that Hitler was in a confident mood when the Nazi Party Congress assembled in Nuremberg on September 4 [1934]. I watched him on the morning of the next day stride like a conquering emperor down the center aisle of the great flag-bedecked Luitpold Hall while the band blared forth "The Badenweiler March" and thirty thousand hands were raised in the Nazi salute. Who should read this book? It's clear that this isn't the most accurate book about this subject. Scholarship is always advancing and this was written more than 60 years ago. But it may be the most readable book on the subject. It flows very well. 1250 pages fly by. (Or rather the minutes fly by, I listened to it, but with a physical copy for reference and anchoring.) If you're at all interested in this period I think you'll really enjoy this book. What does the book have to say about the future? I think a lot of people are trying to draw comparisons between the rise of Hitler and the Trump phenomenon. Other people see echoes of fascism in the ubiquity of woke-ism. I don't think history is going to repeat. And I'm not even sure it's going to rhyme this time around. People are still too aware of the dangers of populist demagoguery for someone to come to power in the same way Hitler did. Which is not to say there's nothing to be gleaned from this book, but I suspect that by the time things start lining up, in some bizarre fashion, it will be too late. Specific thoughts: Pivot points

What happens when you have the ‘perfect’ corporate job at a top-tier firm with a clear path to partnership, but deep down, you feel a pull towards something else? For Alex Marks, the founder of New York’s cult-favourite ‘Sushi Counter’, that pull wasn’t just a distraction - it was the catalyst for trading a high-flying legal career for a world of total uncertainty. Before she was serving thousands of rolls a day, Alex was a successful M&A lawyer at the top-tier firm Herbert Smith Freehills. She loved the late nights, the adrenaline, and the "in the trenches" camaraderie. But a dream transfer to New York became the catalyst for her pivot when she faced an immediate culture clash. Realising the US corporate world was an "individual sport" she didn't want to play, Alex was faced with a choice: Stay in a job that wasn't a fit, or risk it all. She chose risk. Pouring her entire $100,000 USD life savings into an idea, she quit her job and, a week later, signed a lease for a tiny shop to sell the Australian-style sushi she couldn't find anywhere in the city. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson speaks with Alex about this massive industry leap. They unpack the "messy middle" of her entire journey: From the "primitive" Excel model that convinced her to take the leap, to the humbling reality of hand-filling 50,000 soy sauce fish with a syringe in her living room. Alex shares the unfiltered story of how she navigated intense online backlash just one week after opening and how she scaled from a team of one (plus a supportive boyfriend) to a staff of 30. Join us for a raw and practical lesson in naive optimism, a look into the grit required to build a business from the ground up and a powerful reminder that sometimes, the fear of regret is far scarier than the fear of failure.

Watch the video on YouTube here. Most creators are stuck on an exhausting hamster wheel. They're constantly hunting for new customers to buy their $27 product. Let's say they make a hundred sales in a month. Great job! But next month, they start all over, hunting for those same $27 customers again. But what if that same customer became worth $2,000 to your business? Same effort to acquire them, but 235 times more profitable. Show Notes: MiloTree Sign Up for MiloTree FREE: Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt FREE: Product Goldmine AI Prompt Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The $27 Trap: Why Most Creators Are Leaving Money on the Table Here's what most of us do: We create that one product, price it at $27, and pour all our energy into getting new people to buy it. We're constantly putting up Instagram posts, Pinterest pins, writing blog posts, sending emails, running ads. And even when it works, the math is terrible. Let's say you get 100 new customers at $27 each. That's $2,700. Sounds good, right? But next month, you need 100 more new customers to make that same $2,700. It never ends. You're always hustling for new people. Meanwhile, those 100 customers you already have? They trusted you enough to buy once—but you're ignoring them while you chase strangers. That's where most creators are leaving thousands of dollars on the table and burning out. If you're feeling this exhaustion, you're not alone. In my post on why people won't pay for information anymore, I talk about how the old model of selling one product isn't working in 2026. The solution isn't more hustle—it's a smarter business model. What Is a Digital Product Ladder? Here's what smart creators do instead. They build what I call a digital product ladder, and it completely changes the economics of your business. Instead of selling one thing and moving on, you create a journey for your customer: The 6 Rungs of a Product Ladder Freebie/Lead Magnet – This is how you earn their trust. They end up on your email list. Tripwire Product ($27) – Something small that goes deeper at solving their problem. They buy it, get results, and now trust you even more. Product Bundle ($97) – A comprehensive solution combining multiple resources. Course or Coaching ($297) – Premium transformation and deeper support. Membership (Recurring) – They're paying you every month for ongoing value and community. Mastermind/High-Touch Program – For serious implementers who want direct access to you. Same customers. One acquisition cost. But instead of making $27, you're making over $2,000 over time from that same person. And here's the beautiful part: Each sale after the first one costs you almost nothing. They already know you. They already trust you. They are easier to sell to than a complete stranger. This is exactly why I teach the upsell and order bump strategy inside MiloTree—it's the fastest way to increase your customer lifetime value without finding new customers.

Sometimes, a pivot isn’t triggered by a failure.Sometimes, it happens because you keep looking for a way to make the world a little bit fairer. Anne Aly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and moved to Australia when she was just two years old. Her parents worked hard in factory jobs to give their family a foothold here - and those early experiences of displacement, resilience and possibility stayed with her. By her late twenties, Anne was a single working mother raising two young boys in Perth on the minimum wage. She knew what it meant to juggle life’s demands with no safety net - and she used that as fuel to keep pushing forward. She went back to study - and then studied some more, earning a Master’s and a PhD focused on countering violent extremism. From there, Anne became a globally recognised expert in her field - advising the United Nations, publishing hundreds of academic works, and even being the only Australian invited to speak at President Obama’s White House summit on countering violent extremism. But academia was never where her story stopped. In 2016, Anne took another monumental pivot - into politics. She was elected as the Federal Member for Cowan, becoming the first Muslim woman in the Australian Parliament, and then a minister in federal government, shaping policy on multicultural affairs, small business and international development. Along the way, she has championed issues close to her heart - from community safety to meaningful support for domestic and family violence survivors, turning her own life experience into public purpose. In this episode, Anne talks about how she navigated seismic life shifts with grit, compassion, and that same drive to make space for voices too often overlooked - and how she keeps pivoting even when the stakes are high.

Sometimes, a pivot isn't triggered by a failure. Sometimes, it happens when you’re winning. You can have the perfect life on paper - the apartment by the beach, the successful business, the long-term relationship - and still feel a quiet, persistent exhaustion. It’s that slow build of burnout that whispers: you are running 100 k’s an hour in the wrong direction. But what happens when you finally brave that change, only to face a hurdle you never saw coming? Jo Yates began her career studying analogue photography in the UK, right on the edge of the digital revolution. As the industry shifted beneath her feet, she was forced to re-educate herself - pivoting from photography into video production, then into large-scale event and marketing production here in Australia. But alongside her creative career, Jo had a quiet safety-net hustle: flipping properties. What started as a way to create financial security slowly grew into something much bigger - until it became impossible to ignore. Then life intervened. After moving to Noosa, Jo was faced with the covid lockdown AND a diagnosis that forced her to stop, reassess, and reinvent her life yet again. It became the ultimate pivot - one that reframed her relationship with work, success, and what really mattered. Today, Jo runs Bricks and More, a property renovation and buyer’s advocacy business with a difference - combining her creative thinking with commercial strategy to build homes that are genuinely meaningful to the people who live in them. In this episode, we talk about adaptability, resilience, rebuilding after crisis, and why you don’t need a dramatic leap to change your life - just a clear vision and the courage to take the next small step THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson?
