On this episode, Seamus Nally shares a powerful lesson every investor eventually faces: if it's not working, pivot.Seamus originally set out to build a portfolio of student rentals. The plan made sense. The numbers worked. The demand was there. Then the university expanded its own housing and the student demand he was counting on dried up. Instead of digging in and hoping things would turn around, Seamus made a bold move.He pivoted and began renting rooms to residents in an addiction recovery program. When new challenges surfaced with that strategy, he adjusted again, eventually transitioning the property into a traditional long term rental. By then, market rents had risen and the deal that once struggled was suddenly producing strong, stable cash flow.We also talk about what it's like investing alongside family, as Seamus partners with his brothers on their properties.Plus, we get into one of the most overlooked investing advantages: building strong relationships with neighbors. Seamus explains how being proactive and communicative has not only protected their properties, but has also led to off-market deals and neighbors acting as extra eyes and ears. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode563Thanks To Our Sponsors:MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis & Little Rock.

GS#251 Oct 10, 2010. This is our introduction to the late Tony Manzoni from episode 251 published in October, 2010. Over the next few weeks, we're going to feature all the conversations we had with Tony before he passed away in 2018. Tony, a co-founder of Callaway, developed the Single Pivot Swing after extensively studying Ben Hogan's swing. Tony was chosen by inventor Ted Caldwell as a knowledgable instructor who could explain the value of a new product at the time called “Shot Watch” which was a valuable swing aide that monitors rhythm, grip pressure and swing speed. Ted also joins in to provide more details. Click here to find the most comprehensive information about Tony ever assembled.

You never know what to expect when your name gets dropped over the weekend - well one person had his name dropped on the Pivot podcast featuring Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway - so we replay the name drop and how it led to them coming to Minneapolis and surrounding Twin Cities area where there will be a couple comedy shows for charity and Tane recaps what that was like, how he connected with Kara and preview what you can expect on these shows!
We all live with an "ideal" version of ourselves—the patient parent, the successful professional, the faithful friend. But the older we get, the more we realize the gap between that ideal and our actual reality. In Romans 3:21-26, the Apostle Paul addresses an even greater gap: the distance between our sin and God's glory. After three chapters of explaining why we are helpless on our own, Paul pivots to the most hope-filled phrase in Scripture: "But now". This is the "Great Pivot" where God initiates a rescue we could never earn. In this message you'll learn: - Why “But now” is the most hope-filled phrase in the Bible - What justification really means - How Jesus satisfies both God's justice and mercy - Why grace cannot be earned but must be received - How the cross upholds God's holiness while saving sinners

We're continuing an annual tradition on the Healing Medicine Podcast: a Lunar New Year conversation that uses the Chinese zodiac (and the five elements) as a framework for reflection and intention-setting. Even if this isn't part of your culture or your belief system, exploring how a different cultural lens can help you see your patterns around transitions and help you endwell, pause to integrate, and begin well. We're moving from the Year of the Wood Snake (2025)—slower, observant, inward, "shedding what no longer serves"—into the Year of the Fire Horse (2026)—movement, visibility, courage, momentum, and a louder, more activating energy. This episode covers: Why Lunar New Year is also called Spring Festival (Chunjie) The 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac (and why there's no cat) The five elements and how they "flavor" a year (wood → fire) Wood Snake themes: introspection, boundaries, shedding, somatic signals Fire Horse themes: courage, action, visibility, warmth—and the need for wisdom Transition practices: ending well → pausing → beginning well A journal prompt: What are you leaving behind from the Wood Snake year?

Most of us say we want clarity, growth, and peace—yet we keep waiting for the “right time.” In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, Dr-Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer breaks down why progress doesn't need a big plan… it needs a small, daily practice.

You'll walk away with a simple 7-minute routine to clear mental clutter, take one doable step, and keep moving forward—without guilt. Episode Chapters: 00:06:28 — The idea: your future isn't built in “someday moments” 00:08:10 — Losing a top role and why planning ahead became her lifeline 00:09:31 — The biggest myth: change must be massive to matter 00:10:51 — The 7-minute pivot method: write it, unpack it, choose one step 00:13:12 — Why capable people wait: conditioning, compliance, and learned restraint 00:16:21 — Personal life barriers: boundaries, delegation, and guilt-free self-investment 00:18:21 — Human capital: purpose + natural talent, and how leaders should hire differently About the Guest: Dr-Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is a USA Today best-selling author, board-certified executive coach, and human capital strategist.

Key Takeaways: Use 7 minutes daily to name what's blocking you and move one step forward Set an alarm, remove distractions, and “get it out of your head onto paper” Small pivots compound—like a pilot making tiny course corrections over time Waiting often isn't lack of confidence; it's conditioning and learned restraint Boundaries at home can unlock growth at work: delegate, say no, create space Drop the guilt: yesterday is done—choose an action today and restart How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.dr-cynthia.com/ Socials: Dr-Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Fresh off their Jordan trip, Harry and Meghan pop up virtually at the NAACP Image Awards, present a digital civil rights prize and double down on Gaza aid messaging. But reports swirl that Jordan's King Abdullah the Second and Crown Prince Hussein declined to meet them, leaving only a brief encounter with Princess Basma. Meghan swaps heels for $140 suede boat shoes at a refugee camp, dials back jewelry at World Central Kitchen, and earns both praise and eye-rolls in the British press. As nostalgia pieces call Harry the Windsor who “refreshes the parts others cannot reach,” betting markets suggest Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever could pivot into fashion. Meanwhile, a childhood letter from Queen Elizabeth the Second heads to auction, a reminder of a very different royal era.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

5 emergencies The 5 Skills That Eliminate Most Emergencies | Episode 595 Good morning. It's 18 degrees. Tennessee decided to remind us who's in charge. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com. Today we're talking about something that doesn't get enough credit in prepping circles. Not gear. Not bunker fantasies. Skills. Five specific skills that eliminate most emergencies before they ever become emergencies. Let's get into it. 1. Preventative Maintenance There are two types of people. The proactive maintenance crowd. And the rest of us. I'll admit — I'm not perfect at it. But I know better. And knowing better already puts you ahead. Basic maintenance prevents most mechanical disasters: • Oil changes • Cleaning AC units • Replacing spark plugs • Checking filters • Roof inspections • HVAC servicing I clean our window units every year. Pull them out, dismantle them, clean the coils, clear the sludge. Since I started doing that, they've lasted years longer. Most people run things until they fail. Failure is expensive. Maintenance is cheap. Same goes for your car. Same goes for your house. Ignore it long enough and you're buying a new roof instead of patching a leak. Preventative maintenance turns “emergency repair” into “routine upkeep.” 2. Financial Awareness Most “emergencies” are just financial mismanagement. Overdraft fees. Late fees. Impulse spending. Untracked subscriptions. Lifestyle creep. You don't need to make more money. You need to control the money you already make. When my wife and I started actually tracking spending and living on a budget, we built savings fast. No magic. No lottery. No second job. Just awareness. Turn off overdraft protection so transactions decline instead of charging you $35 to be broke. Set alerts. Call and negotiate fees when they happen. Financial awareness eliminates overdraft emergencies, debt spirals, and panic purchases. Most financial disasters are preventable. 3. Cooking From Basic Ingredients If you can cook from scratch, shortages don't wreck you. Missing celery? Pivot. No carrots in the store? Make something else. Eggs gone? Mayo works in cornbread. If you rely on recipes as rigid law, you panic. If you understand ingredients and substitutions, you adapt. Cooking skill equals flexibility. Flexibility eliminates food stress. You don't need a fully stocked gourmet kitchen. You need knowledge. And honestly? AI is great for this. “Hey, I have chicken, rice, and canned tomatoes. What can I make?” Boom. Ideas. Over time, you build your own mental database. That eliminates grocery store drama. 4. Basic Health & First Aid Awareness Don't ignore your health. Monitor blood pressure. Watch blood sugar. Get basic labs done. Exercise. Eat like an adult. Letting your health degrade until you're dependent on emergency medicine is the opposite of preparedness. You don't have to become a biohacker. But you should know your numbers. You should understand symptoms. You should have basic first aid skills. Most long-term “health emergencies” are years in the making. Early action prevents crisis. 5. Calm Problem Solving This one is huge. When something goes wrong: Slow down. Assess. Act deliberately. Panicking compounds problems. Calm thinking: • Avoids dumb decisions • Reduces accidents • Keeps conflict small • Stops mistakes from stacking Most situations aren't life-or-death. They feel like it because people escalate emotionally. Calm problem solving turns chaos into steps. And steps are manageable. Final Thoughts Most disasters aren't hurricanes or EMPs. They're: • Neglected maintenance • Financial sloppiness • Poor health • Inability to cook • Emotional overreaction Master these five skills and you eliminate most emergencies before they begin. Prepping isn't about hoarding. It's about competence. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com. DIY to survive.

We've all heard it. Winners never quit and quitters never win. It's been drilled into us since childhood — by coaches, parents, and every motivational poster hanging on a gymnasium wall. But what if that philosophy is costing you more than it's giving you?In this episode of Flow with Floyd, Floyd Miley breaks down one of the most expensive lies we've ever been told and challenges everything you think you know about persistence, loyalty, and letting go. We're talking about the sunk cost fallacy — the silent trap that keeps people stuck in dead-end jobs, draining relationships, and chapters that were never meant to be permanent.This episode covers the difference between pushing through with purpose and pushing through with excuses, how to detach your identity from your title and your role, the difference between good tired and bad tired, and the 10% rule — how to start pivoting without burning everything down.Whether you're on the edge of a major life decision or just feeling the quiet pull that something needs to change, this episode will give you the clarity, the permission, and the strategy to move forward with your head high.Because quitting isn't the opposite of success. Sometimes it's the requirement for it.

He explains why what got you to $1M won't get you to $10M, how growth can quietly trap you, and why real freedom isn't just about money — it's about time, choice, and control. You'll learn the three stages of business evolution, how to eliminate bottlenecks, and why systems × leadership create freedom, along with practical strategies for auditing your calendar, redesigning decision flow, and building an asset that's scalable, saleable, and built for long-term wealth.If you don't want to own a job — you want to own an asset — this episode will show you how to make the shift.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

Scott Galloway and I don't always see the world the same way, but our friendly debates almost always lead us back to common ground. It's probably why we enjoy talking to each other as much as we do. If you haven't heard my friend Scott's name before, he's known for being brilliant, provocative, and unapologetically himself. He's a professor at NYU Stern School of Business, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and larger-than-life social commentator. In recent years, his work, which includes his new book Notes on Being a Man, has explored the challenges facing men today, from loneliness and dating to purpose and identity. Scott and I have different views on what “healthy masculinity” looks like. He's not afraid to say things during this podcast that might ruffle some feathers. But inevitably, the conclusions we get to are introspective, vulnerable, and often universal. That's certainly true for one revelation we share: confidence matters. Not the loud, performative kind. The real kind. The kind that helps people risk rejection, build meaningful relationships, and show up more generously in the world. In this episode, Scott and I talk about the “masculinity crisis,” why young people are struggling to connect, how purpose outlasts happiness, and why masculine and feminine traits are complementary rather than competing. We explore the need for good social risks like leaving the house, meeting people, pursuing relationships, and hearing “no,” and why confidence is less about ego and more about security, kindness, and connection. This is a conversation between two opposites who challenge each other, listen deeply, and ultimately agree that building real confidence may be one of the most important skills we can teach the next generation.

The Supreme Court just struck down Donald Trump's tariffs. But instead of taking the win, Trump doubled down. In today's livestream, Matt Robison breaks down what may be the most revealing moment of Trump's second term so far — and why it goes far beyond trade policy.The Court ruled that Trump's sweeping tariffs were unconstitutional under the emergency powers he claimed. That decision gave him a political off-ramp: blame the Court, let inflation cool, stabilize markets, and boost economic growth ahead of the midterms.Instead, within minutes, Trump announced new tariffs — escalating economic chaos all over again.Why?We examine:

The prophesied right wing sellout moment has finally arrived.

What happens when you're not just climbing the ladder, but standing at the very top? For Lize Ratliff, that meant achieving her dream job as Head of Podcasts at Mamamia, after 10 years hustling to get there. Lize’s journey is a masterclass in pure tenacity. She started at 19 as an intern from a small country town, so determined to work for Mia Freedman that she "literally didn't leave”. Over the next decade, she climbed the ladder through nine different titles - from intern to Mia's EA, to the first-ever producer of No Filter - eventually becoming the woman running the entire 29-show operation. For Lize, the birth of her first child was the catalyst for an enormous change. Realising the demands of the job were incompatible with the life she wanted as a mother, she and her husband came to a terrifying realisation: they needed to ‘blow up their life.’ In a move that left many stunned, they both quit their high-profile Sydney jobs, moved to Newcastle, and Lize enrolled in a Master's degree to pursue a completely new career: As a high school English teacher. This is a raw and candid look at what it means to walk away from the top. We cover the creative job application that got her hired, the moment she crashed her boss's car (and kept her job), and the overwhelming "what have I done?" feeling that hits after you trade a high-prestige career for a student ID. Get ready to learn why sometimes, you have to "just jump.” THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay. Discover more Mamamia podcasts here.

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
Normally when I do an interview for the Fancy Scientist podcast, it's me interviewing a guest. But for this week's episode, I'm flipping the script and the guest is….yours truly: Me!!You see, last year I was interviewed by my friend and fellow podcaster Andrew Lewin, who hosts the How to Protect the Ocean Podcast. Because I had such a great time chatting with him and my audience has grown so much recently, I thought It would be a great opportunity for you to get to know me more so that you can learn about how I got to where I am today and learn from my experiences and path from traditional research scientist to online business owner in content creation for wildlife careers and science, conservation, and nature education. I have a very unconventional career path with many unexpected twists and turns. For the first 17 years of my career, I went about this career through the traditional research route, but even this choice itself was unexpected. To be honest, I didn't even know wildlife biology was a viable career path until I took a study abroad program in Kenya focused on wildlife management. You'll learn how I stumbled upon this program and why I chose it. From there I participated in multiple internships, got a Ph.D. studying forest elephants, and had multiple postdocs. Andrew and I get real about what it's like to have a lasting career in this field. I talk about the hardships of trying to find a permanent position while working to stay in a place that I loved (Raleigh, North Carolina) and navigating an oversaturated wildlife job market. I truly was shocked by how few permanent jobs I was truly qualified for, how closely job experience needs to match job descriptions, and how competitive the field is, even for people with PhDs. I was told I would not be pigeon-holed, but I was. We spend some time discussing the competitiveness of this career and what I teach students: that finding clarity, being strategic about experience and networking, and improving job applications, are the keys to success through a proven framework that I've now tested with dozens of students. I thought I was going to be a researcher for life, but my journey took me in another direction. The difficulties I had in landing a permanent job after my Ph.D. combined with the science communication experiences from years of postdocing at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences opened my eyes to my true fashion: science communication and career mentoring.I decided to do this through entrepreneurship - something I never thought I would do! As a young girl, I grew up watching my dad run his jewelry business and never wanted that for myself, but over time I realized that I could only have the impact I wanted on conservation and the natural world through opening my own business. Andrew and I have an honest discussion about what it takes to run a business in this field, including the financial pressures and mindset. If you've ever thought about starting your own business or side hustle, which I truly believe is something anyone can do in this field, and to be honest should do, this episode is for you. You'll get my advice on how to get started and earn revenue by teaching your expertise in science and nature fields (or any other area of expertise!). As podcasters, Andrew and I are both passionate about science communication and we take a deep dive into how to effectively communicate science with the public. We talk about how my work at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, blogging, and public speaking, led me to recognize how much conservation solutions ultimately came down to reaching people and not through studying a species or its habitat (this is important, but not what it going to solve most conservation problems). I realized through studying a critically endangered species that no amount of research on this animal would save this species - rather, the solutions were all economic, political, or related to education. Getting others to care or have behavioral change would have a more profound impact on conservation for most problems and this was a big motivation for my career change.Finally, Andrew and I discussed my work on TV shows, including how I first appeared on Science Channel's What on Earth through a professional connection, and then later joined History Channel's The Proof Is Out There after producers found my YouTube video explaining why “black panthers” aren't present in the U.S. I go over what it's like to prepare for filming a television, how often it happens, and what I've learned about what audiences find fascinating when it comes to wildlife and nature, like bigfoot and other cryptids - a total surprise to me! Whether you are a new friend here to the podcast or a longtime listener, this is a really great episode to get a behind the scenes look at what I do professionally, as well as what it's like to be both a researcher working many different kinds of jobs in the wildlife profession. More specifically, I reveal:How I went from a straight career path of wildlife research to founding and running my own businessWhy a Kenya study abroad was a pivotal moment for me when I realized wildlife biology was a real careerMy Ph.D. research on forest elephant social behavior and using non-invasive genetics from their poop to study social structureHow saturated and competitive wildlife conservation jobs are, even with a Ph.D.Why alignment between your experience and the job posting matters so muchThe biggest reasons people don't get interviews (and what to change in applications)How investing in yourself can affect follow-through and resultsHow I started my own business in 2020 and ways you can generate revenue through an online businessWhat it's like to do science communication on TV and how I landed roles on the Science, History, and Discovery channelsHow being a scientist is similar to being an entrepreneurMy advice for anyone considering a side hustle or online businessAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?
This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk unpack a wave of developments reshaping the autonomous vehicle landscape. Data surfacing from a follow-up to a recent Senate hearing reveals that Waymo currently operates 3,000 autonomous vehicles supported by only 70 remote assistance agents worldwide.Grayson calls the ratio definitive proof of Waymo's technology lead, while Walt raises a pointed concern that roughly half of those remote roles are outsourced to the Philippines, creating a political vulnerability that could draw scrutiny as the industry scales.From there, the conversation turns to infrastructure. Uber is reportedly investing $100 million to build autonomous vehicle fast-charging stations across San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Dallas. The move sparks a spirited debate about Uber. Is the company that built its brand on being asset-light now quietly pivoting to an asset-heavy model to stay competitive in the autonomy era?On the regulatory front, Governor Kathy Hochul shelved a proposal that would have permitted robotaxis outside New York City, reportedly bowing to special interest pressure, a setback Grayson and Walt call deeply disappointing.Meanwhile, Iowa lawmakers are advancing bills requiring a human driver behind the wheel, creating a strange-bedfellows alliance between pro-autonomy hybrid network advocates and traditional opponents of autonomous driving technology.Shifting to hardware, Tesla's Cybercab secured an FCC order authorizing ultra-wideband radio technology for wireless charging. Grayson cautions, however, that FCC approval is only one piece of the puzzle, as Tesla still needs NHTSA exemptions to operate vehicles without steering wheels or pedals before any real-world scaling can begin.Closing out the episode, Aurora opened a new autonomous trucking lane stretching over 1,000 miles from Texas to Arizona, pushing the boundaries of long-haul autonomy. And in a notable signal from the OEM side, Paccar highlighted its partnership with Kodiak in its latest earnings release, underscoring how seriously legacy manufacturers are now starting to take the autonomous freight opportunity.Episode Chapters00:00 Waymo: 70 Remote Agents for 3,000 Cars04:00 The "Unforced Error" of Outsourcing Remote Assistance to the Philippines08:00 SFO Rideshare Volume and Waymo's Impact on Traditional TNCs15:00 New York Governor Hochul Pulls Robotaxi Proposal20:00 Iowa Lawmakers Push a Driver-In Bill23:00 Will the Real Uber Please Stand Up?

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Keith Milner. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing Keith Milner’s journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. It emphasizes discipline, leadership, risk-taking, and strategies for building generational wealth, particularly for underrepresented communities. Key Takeaways Foundational Lessons from Childhood Growing up in a disciplined, hardworking family taught Keith accountability, integrity, and the principle of choices and consequences. Education was highly valued in his household, shaping his drive for success. Corporate vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset Corporate careers can feel secure but are often riskier because you lack control over your destiny. Entrepreneurship offers greater control and potential for generational wealth. Leadership and Teamwork Lessons from sports—teamwork, discipline, and leadership—translate directly into business success. Establishing a common goal and coaching employees is crucial, but underperformers must eventually be let go. Risk and Value Many African-Americans view entrepreneurship as risky, but Keith argues it’s less risky than employment in an at-will state. Success depends on creating value that customers are willing to pay for. Franchising Journey Relationships opened doors to Jersey Mike’s franchise ownership. Entrepreneurship requires hands-on involvement—Keith still works in his stores when needed. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Adopt a growth mindset and positive attitude. Follow the Five P’s: Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere. Understand that entrepreneurship is a daily grind—“Every morning in the jungle, the lion wakes up running.” Notable Quotes On discipline and accountability:“If you said you were going to do something, you did it. If you were told to do something, you got it done.” On choices:“We make choices every day, and if you don’t make the right choice, there are consequences.” On entrepreneurship vs. employment:“Entrepreneurship and small business ownership is the best way to create generational wealth.” On leadership:“There are very few things in life you can do alone. You need people, you need a team.” On success formula:“You control the inputs, and therefore you can charge what you want—as long as you generate enough value.” On entrepreneurial mindset:“Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere.” Swahili proverb:“Every morning in the jungle, the lion wakes up running… The question becomes, who’s going to run the fastest?” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing Keith Milner’s journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. It emphasizes discipline, leadership, risk-taking, and strategies for building generational wealth, particularly for underrepresented communities. Key Takeaways Foundational Lessons from Childhood Growing up in a disciplined, hardworking family taught Keith accountability, integrity, and the principle of choices and consequences. Education was highly valued in his household, shaping his drive for success. Corporate vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset Corporate careers can feel secure but are often riskier because you lack control over your destiny. Entrepreneurship offers greater control and potential for generational wealth. Leadership and Teamwork Lessons from sports—teamwork, discipline, and leadership—translate directly into business success. Establishing a common goal and coaching employees is crucial, but underperformers must eventually be let go. Risk and Value Many African-Americans view entrepreneurship as risky, but Keith argues it’s less risky than employment in an at-will state. Success depends on creating value that customers are willing to pay for. Franchising Journey Relationships opened doors to Jersey Mike’s franchise ownership. Entrepreneurship requires hands-on involvement—Keith still works in his stores when needed. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Adopt a growth mindset and positive attitude. Follow the Five P’s: Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere.

From "grants to gains"—in this episode, we sit down with the Margaret Egiziaco to discuss leadership, legacy, and the art of the pivot! Before disrupting the fitness industry, Margaret navigated high-stakes government recovery.

Today, she's channeling that same mission-driven energy into a new frontier: building a fitness community designed specifically for moms! ️️ In this episode, we dive into: The Bold Pivot: Moving from government leadership to entrepreneurial grit. Pressure-Tested Leadership: Lessons learned from managing multi-million dollar disaster recoveries. Purpose-Built Spaces: Why moms deserve a fitness environment that integrates, rather than excludes, their reality. Whether you're looking to reinvent your career or turn a personal passion into a community movement, Margaret's story is your blueprint for starting over with purpose!

David Golay shares why he hasn't jived with any of the eMTBs he's ridden so far, and if the new light-assist bikes from Orbea and Norco he's been spending time on might have a chance of changing his mind. Simon, on the other hand, is a big fan of eMTBs, regardless of whether they have a full-power or light-assist drive system, and has a couple of full-power beauties from Pivot and Norco to talk about. And to avoid a whole episode on bikes with motors, they throw the Atherton A.150.M in the mix, too.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover or a guest you'd like us to have on Bikes and Big Ideas.

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
