Jon walks through simple frameworks families can use to keep conversations focused, reduce conflict, and build confidence in the next generation as they step into leadership or ownership roles.Finally, we talk about the importance of proactive education, outside advisors, and consistent family meetings to ensure smooth transitions and stronger businesses for generations to come.Next StepsLearn more at: https://stthomas.edu/familybusinessEmail Jon directly: familybusiness@stthomas.eduConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

In today's Cloud Wars Agent and Copilot Minute, I break down why this Microsoft-Anthropic-NVIDIA trio, spotlighted at Microsoft Ignite, may define the next phase of the AI Revolution.Highlights00:19 — Today, I want focus on a particularly significant partnership involving not one but three partners, collaborating in multiple ways across various fronts. The companies are Microsoft, of course, Anthropic, and NVIDIA. The trio is set to establish new strategic partnerships that, in my view, truly optimize the unprecedented era of collaboration that we're in01:02 — Anthropic has committed to a $30 billion deal to purchase Azure compute capacity.

NVIDIA and Anthropic will collaborate on the design and development required to further optimize Anthropic AI models.01:48 — In terms of hard-dollar investments in Anthropic, NVIDIA is committing up to $10 billion, while Microsoft is committing up to $5 billion.

However, it's far from one-sided, as both are also selling their products to Anthropic. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Why are new patient leads harder than ever to convert? Why do people click “request appointment” and then ignore the phone when you call them back? In this eye-opening first half of Lauryn's conversation with marketing expert Ryan Rieder, they break down the real reasons behind today's lead behavior—and why overwhelmed, distracted consumers require a completely different approach than what practices used even a few years ago. If you've ever felt confused by inconsistent lead follow-up or disappointed by low booking rates, this episode will finally make the data make sense.Together, Lauryn and Ryan unpack the psychology of modern consumers, the impact of decision fatigue, why response timing matters more than most practices realize, and how AI voice agents are beginning to fill critical gaps in speed-to-lead and consistent follow-up. You'll learn what's actually normal for booking percentages, why even great front desk teams struggle, and how understanding human behavior is the first step toward better systems, better conversions, and a more predictable new-patient pipeline.Key Takeaways:Modern consumers are overwhelmed—leading to inconsistent follow-through. Ryan Rieder explains how decision fatigue, content overload, and “start now, finish later” behavior impact every step of the new-patient process.Speed-to-lead dramatically increases conversion rates. Answering or calling back within 60 seconds can multiply booking chances, but most practices aren't staffed to respond that quickly consistently.AI voice agents fill the timing and capacity gap. Early AI adoption is helping small practices match the responsiveness and follow-up systems previously only available to large organizations.Lead quality vs. lead quantity is often misunderstood. Without understanding human behavior and response patterns, practices misjudge what their booking numbers really mean—and what realistic expectations should be.About the Guest:Ryan Rieder is a leading marketing strategist and CEO specializing in lead generation, AI-driven systems, and high-volume patient acquisition for chiropractic and healthcare clinics. Known for his data-driven approach to understanding human behavior and conversion psychology, Ryan helps practices optimize their lead flow, improve follow-up processes, and implement cutting-edge AI technologies. His work bridges the gap between traditional marketing and the emerging AI-powered future, giving providers clear, actionable tools to grow sustainably.Follow Dr. Ryan: Website | YouTube | Instagram | Twitter DC Practice Growth Podcast: Apple | SpotifyResources:Join The Uncharted CEO: An 8-week immersive experience for clinic owners designed to increase revenue, maximize profits, and build cash flow systems that create freedom NOW, not at 65.Follow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | X |

On today's podcast:1) Global stocks are poised for their worst week in seven months as concerns over lofty valuations and whether massive investments in artificial intelligence will pay off prompt investors to retreat from riskier assets. The MSCI All Country World Index has slumped 3.1% this week, putting it on track for its sharpest weekly drop since April 4, when President Trump’s tariffs rattled markets. Bitcoin fell below $84,000, extending its drop from an all-time high less than seven weeks ago to more than 30%. European and Asian shares were also set for their biggest weekly decline since April after Wall Street’s Thursday selloff. Sentiment remained fragile for US assets, with S&P 500 futures fluctuating after the benchmark slipped to its weakest level since September.2) Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson said she’s approaching next month’s rate-setting meeting with caution, though she remains more concerned about weaknesses in the job market. “Each rate cut brings us closer to the level where policy flips from restraining activity a bit to the place where it is providing a boost. So, I am approaching the December FOMC cautiously,” Paulson said Thursday, referring to next month’s gathering of the Federal Open Market Committee. “Each rate cut raises the bar for the next cut.” Deep divisions have emerged among policymakers after they lowered rates at two consecutive meetings. Some remain concerned more by weakness in the labor market while others have expressed growing worry over inflation. The lack of official data during the long government shutdown has also blurred policymakers’ view of the economy.3) President Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani are set to meet at the White House on Friday, the president said in a social media post. The meeting marks the first time the two leaders will come together to discuss how they can work with each other since the election earlier this month. Mamdani was elected as mayor of New York City after campaigning on a progressive platform that includes freezing the rent on more than 1 million stabilized apartments, providing universal child care, funding free buses and operating city-owned grocery stores. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is seeking higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy to pay for his agenda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the rapidly shifting world of pop culture Justin Bieber has surfaced in headlines this week more for his personal life than traditional music drama. Us Weekly and AOL report that Justin is currently “happier than he's been in a long time” and looking comfortable and lowkey while spotted at spas in New York City and out on public outings with his wife Hailey Bieber. The two attended a Knicks game, dined at The Corner Store, and grabbed popcorn at the IPIC movie theater—all in plain sight of fans and paparazzi. Any public speculation about marriage woes is being forcefully rebuffed by those close to the couple insiders tell People that Justin and Hailey are focused on their marriage and “very much in it together,” with friends noting their mutual support and maturity.GQ published a new interview with Hailey in which she candidly described their marriage as something they take “one day at a time,” opening up about existing under intense public scrutiny. Despite skipping the 2025 Grammys for the second year running—fueling the usual internet chatter that maybe he's retreating from the limelight—a recent source shared with People that Hailey loves seeing Justin get back into his “creative process,” especially in the studio creating with friends.Grammys chatter is always intense at this time of year, but the spotlight is on nominations and no confirmed Bieber wins or performances are making waves right now with final voting for 2026 not wrapping up until January according to the Times of India.On the cultural tribute front Justin's impact is still being felt—a Candlelight Tribute concert dedicated to Justin Bieber music is scheduled for November 22 in Los Angeles, confirming his music's continuing influence among fans. Social media has picked up on clips from a YouTube event called “DAY 11” featuring Justin with Hailey and WETHEBAND on November 11 but there's nothing to indicate a secret album drop or surprise music project based on available footage so far.Business-wise there is zero movement on new ventures apart from earlier reported news that Justin exited his streetwear brand Drew House recently as summarized on the Spreaker audio biography series. No new deals or partnerships have surfaced this week according to official channels.The upshot Justin Bieber remains a cultural mainstay with his personal life and relationship still commanding major headlines but no confirmed headline-grabbing music or business bombshells in recent days. Any speculations about a retreat or comeback remain just that—unconfirmed and mostly fan-fueled at this stage.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dr. Stacy Lindborg, President and CEO of IMUNON, has developed a DNA-based immunotherapy candidate for the treatment of ovarian cancer. This therapy works by administering the drug, which utilizes IL-12, a powerful anti-cancer cytokine, directly into the cavity where the cancer resides, thereby affecting the tumor microenvironment. Trials are showing that the drug can produce significant life extension when used in combination with standard chemotherapy. Stacy explains, "There are about 300,000 women who are newly diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer every year, about 20,000 in the US, and the frontline standard of care hasn't seen a change in the treatment in about 25 years. So this is for newly diagnosed women. The very first treatment that they would have, which we call frontline treatment, is a platinum-based chemotherapy. So carboplatin and Paclitaxel are both administered through IV over an hour for carboplatin, about three hours for Paclitaxel. So most women go directly to chemotherapy and then surgery, and then chemotherapy. Some women will go straight to surgery and then have this chemotherapy afterwards."   "Our approach is a DNA-based immunotherapy candidate that we have in Phase 3. We refer to the lead candidate as IMNN-001, and this is a non-viral nanoparticle that is administered directly into the cavity of interest. So, what we call the micro-tumor environment is the peritoneal cavity, where the cancer actually resides, and it's delivered through a catheter. And it basically has a very powerful anti-cancer fighting cytokine, IL-12, that is encoded in this immunotherapy. And it causes the cells that are within each woman's body, both cancer and non-cancer alike, to start producing activities that will help fight these complex cancer cells that exist."  #IMUNON #OvarianCancer #DNABasedImmunotherapy #WomensHealth #CancerAwareness  imunon.com Download the transcript here

Our Head of Corporate Credit Research Andrew Sheets explains why the recent revival of M&A activity has room to accelerate.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today – a discussion of merger and acquisition activity or M&A. Last year, we had a view that this activity would pick up significantly. We think we're seeing that increase now. It has further to go. It's Wednesday, October 29th at 2pm in London. We have been firm believers at Morgan Stanley in a significant multi-year uplift in global merger and acquisition activity or M&A. That conviction remains. The incentives for this type of action are strong in our view; activity still lags what fundamentals would suggest, and supportive regulatory shifts are real. M&A has now returned, and importantly, we think there's much further to go. Indeed, M&A is very closely linked to corporate confidence, and we think investors need to consider the possibility that we'll see an even bigger surge in this confidence – or a boom. First, policy uncertainty is declining as U.S. tax legislation has now passed, and tariff rates get finalized. It's the relative direction of this uncertainty that we think matters most for corporate confidence. Second, interest rates are declining with the Fed, European Central Bank, and Bank of England all set to cut rates further over the next 12 months. Third, bank capital requirements may decline in the view of Morgan Stanley analysts, which would unlock more lending for these types of transactions. Fourth, and very importantly, the regulatory backdrop is becoming more accommodative in both the U.S. and in Europe. Indeed, we think that companies may think that this is going to be the most permissive regulatory window for transactions that they might get for some time. Fifth, private equity, which is a big driver of M&A activity, is sitting on over $4 trillion of dry powder in our view – at a time when credit markets look very wide open for financing their transactions. And finally, we're seeing a surge in capital expenditure on Morgan Stanley estimates, which we see as a sign of rising corporate confidence, and importantly an urgency to act – with corporates far less content to simply sit back and repurchase their stock. All of these favorable conditions together argue for activity to push even higher. We forecast global M&A volumes to increase by 32 percent this year, an additional 20 percent next year, and reach $7.8 trillion in volume in 2027. This is a global story with M&A rising across regions, especially in Japan. It has cross-asset implications with M&A already being one of the biggest drivers of bond outperformance within the U.S. high-yield market. And this is also a story where we see a lot of value in bringing together macro and micro perspectives. While we think the top-down conditions look favorable for all the reasons I just mentioned, we also see a very encouraging picture bottom up. We polled a large number of Morgan Stanley sector analyst teams and asked them about M&A conditions in their sector. A large majority of them see more activity. So, where could these more specific implications lie? Well, as you heard on yesterday's episode, Healthcare and Biotech may see an uptick in activity. In the U.S., we also think that Banking and Media stand out. In Europe, Business Services, Metals and Mining, and Telecom seem most ripe for more M&A. Aerospace and Defense is an interesting sector that may see more M&A within multiple regions, including the U.S. and Europe, as companies look for scale. And with smaller companies trading at a valuation discount to their larger peers across the world, Morgan Stanley analysts generally see the strongest case for activity in larger companies acquiring these smaller ones. Thank you as always for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen, and also tell a friend or colleague about us today.

Black notes that while Ford was "cheeky," President Trump overreacted by suspending negotiations and mandating 10% tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney, seen as a diplomatic and well-informed figure, is expected to de-escalate the issue and work toward a reasonable agreement at the upcoming Asian conference. 1913 WINNIPEG

It's an Emmajority Report Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's show: U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins blames decades of farm consolidation for the rising cost of beef — an issue the Biden administration tried to address through an executive order promoting antitrust enforcement and support for small farms. But last August, Trump repealed that order, encouraging further consolidation in the agricultural sector. Meanwhile, American farmers are frustrated over Trump's decision to bail out Argentina with $40 billion and his tariff policies that pushed China to buy soybeans elsewhere, including from Argentina. And when reporters press Trump on the topic, he gets noticeably defensive. Justice correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal joins the program to discuss the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and other recent rulings by the Supreme Court. In the Fun Half: Laura Ingraham hosts two "independent journalists" who claim that SEIU representatives were claiming to recruit "youths" into the DSA at the No Kings Rallies over the weekend. A clip from 2016 where RFK, Jr perfectly defines how Trump is building a vicious Batya Ungar-Sargon claims Trump has no history of racism only for Keith Boykin to rattle off a list of Trump's racist activity spanning six decades.

Supreme Court Poised to Limit Racial Gerrymandering; War Powers Debate on Venezuela. Richard Epstein discusses how the Supreme Court appears ready to limit the use of race in drawing voting districts (racial gerrymandering), reflecting a shift towards colorblind jurisprudence. However, the Court is likely to avoid restricting political gerrymandering. Separately, Professor Epstein argued the president's use of "narcoterrorism" to justify military action in Venezuela is inappropriate, noting that the War Powers Act is often circumvented. 1937 SCOTUS
