New year, clean slate, and maybe time for a closer look at the person managing your money. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG kick off 2026 by answering the question many Stackers quietly wonder about: Is my financial advisor actually good at their job?

These are the subtle warning signs you'll never see in a glossy brochure but you'll absolutely feel over time. The 5 red flags: • Poor communication that keeps you in the dark • Office culture that feels off • Confusing jargon (often a feature, not a bug) • Unclear or hidden fees • Products over process Plus: Doug's Italian food trivia, New Year's breakfast burrito chaos, and a reminder that you're allowed to expect clarity and respect.

In this week's episode we've pulled a vault recording from 2025! Blood editor Dr. Laurie Sehn interviews authors Drs. David-Alexandre Trégouët and Johannes Schetelig on their research published in volume 146 issue 19 of Blood journal. Dr. Trégouët's study conducted a genome-wide association study supplemented by transcriptome and Mendelian randomization analyses to identify 28 loci and proteins associated with VTE recurrence risk. This work provides genomic evidence that inherited variants contribute to the risk of VTE recurrence, raising the possibility of a more personalized approach to the prevention of recurrent VTE. The study conducted by Dr. Schetelig and colleagues report the results of a long term trial on patients with poor-response AML, comparing outcomes between patients who received salvage chemotherapy versus immediate transplantation. With no difference in survival rates at 5 years, outcomes seem to be determined mainly by genetic risk factors, age, and comorbidities, therefore challenging the routine use of intensive remission induction before allogeneic transplant in patients with an available donor and underscore the need for novel therapeutic strategies for poor-risk AML.Featured Articles:Molecular Determinants of Thrombosis Recurrence Risk Across Venous Thromboembolism Subtypes Disease risk but not remission status determines transplant outcomes in AML: long-term outcomes of the ASAP trial

He was born in Rome, and as a young man was chosen by the Emperor Constantine to assist in the foundation of his new capital at Byzantium. An outbreak of leprosy in the new City became so severe that the Emperor ordered that all lepers, whatever their rank, be driven from the city or drowned in the sea. Zoticus, moved by compassion for these people, went to the Emperor and asked him for a large amount of gold to buy gems and pearls to enhance the glory of the city, 'For, as Your Majesty knows, I am well-qualified in this field.' The Saint then used the gold to ransom all those being led into exile or to drowning, and to establish for them a camp on the hill of Olivet on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus. There he brought the sick and provided for their care. In 337 Constantius, an Arian heretic, took the throne upon the death of his father. Some of Zoticus' enemies at court, seeing an opportunity, denounced Zoticus to the new Emperor, saying that he not only held subversive views, but had misappropriated public money. When he learned of these charges, Zoticus presented himself to the Emperor, finely dressed, and offered to take Constantius to see the gems and pearls that he had bought on his behalf. When they reached the hill of Olivet, Constantius was astonished to see a company of lepers coming to greet him with lighted candles, honoring and praising him and their patron Zoticus. Then the holy Zoticus said to the Emperor, 'These are the precious stones and brilliant pearls that give luster to the crown of the heavenly Kingdom that you will inherit by their prayers. I bought them for the salvation of your soul.' Instead of being grateful, the heartless Emperor ordered that Zoticus be tied behind wild mules and dragged until dead. The mules ran down the hill, breaking the Saint's body upon the rocks and brush. Then, of their own accord, they returned to the top of the hill, still dragging the body, and, like Balaam's ass (Numbers ch. 22), spoke and proclaimed that the Martyr must be buried on that hill. The astonished and repentant Emperor ordered the Martyr buried with honor, and commanded that a hospital for lepers be built there, staffed by the best physicians and caretakers. Saint Zoticus is also called Orphanotrophos, 'Cherisher of Orphans,' because in later years a large orphanage was added to the leprosarium. The orphanage included a general hospital and a home for the aged. The Saint was honored throughout Byzantine history as the patron of the orphanage.
8 Ways to Reduce Stress in the Workplace Episode Summary Workplace stress steals joy, drains productivity, and harms overall well being. In this episode, we break down eight practical strategies employees and leaders can use to reduce stress, rebuild clarity, and create healthier work environments. If left unchecked, stress can impact performance, morale, and mental health, but the right habits and boundaries can change everything. The Hidden Cost of Workplace Stress Stress is one of the biggest barriers to engagement and performance. Millions of workdays are lost each year due to stress, anxiety, and depression. Tight deadlines, heavy workloads, and lack of support are often the biggest contributors. Ignoring stress hurts people and companies. Addressing it helps everyone thrive. 8 Ways to Reduce Workplace Stress 1. Recognize the Early Signs Irritability, worry, trouble sleeping, shallow breathing, and trouble focusing are often the first signals. Understanding how stress shows up emotionally, physically, and behaviorally helps you catch it before it escalates. 2. Identify the Source Is it workload? Expectations? A demanding boss? Interpersonal conflict? Clarity helps you respond more intentionally and set healthier boundaries. 3. Set Clear Boundaries Boundaries communicate what is acceptable and sustainable. Whether it is availability, workload, or working hours, defining your limits reduces overload and protects your well being. 4. Evaluate Life Outside of Work Your routines matter. Poor sleep, rushed mornings, and lack of recovery time amplify workplace stress. Incorporate activities that reset your nervous system like yoga, exercise, or quiet mornings. 5. Practice Mindfulness Staying grounded in the present moment reduces anxiety about yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's deadlines. Mindfulness, breathwork, and even aromatherapy can help calm the mind and increase clarity. 6. Stay Connected Strong relationships act as a buffer against stress. Talking with trusted friends, colleagues, or family helps you problem solve, feel supported, and maintain perspective. 7. Avoid Unhealthy Coping Habits Alcohol, junk food, caffeine overload, and smoking increase stress long term. Choose healthier outlets like movement, meditation, and nourishing routines to support your mental and physical health. 8. Work Smarter, Not Harder Multitasking increases errors and stress. Focus on single tasking, prioritizing what matters most, and organizing your workload in a manageable way. Efficiency reduces pressure. Why Employers Should Care Healthy employees perform better. Organizations that prioritize well being experience higher morale, stronger retention, and greater productivity. Flexible work options, reasonable expectations, appreciation, and opportunities for connection all reduce workplace stress. Final Takeaway Stress does not have to dominate your work life. When employees understand the signals, identify the root causes, and take proactive steps to manage stress, everyone benefits. When leaders support this effort, workplace culture transforms. Reducing stress is possible – and it starts with awareness, boundaries, connection, and smarter working habits.
Have you ever said, "I just don't feel like myself anymore" — even though your labs look normal? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down why inflammation starts in the brain, how it drives fatigue, brain fog, cravings, hormone imbalance, and accelerated aging — and why 2026 is the year to stop suppressing symptoms and start correcting root causes. Inflammation isn't just a body problem. It's a brain health issue first. Your brain uses 20% of your daily calories, and when inflammation is present, it shifts into defensive mode, not performance mode. That's when clarity disappears, energy crashes, and nothing feels like it's working anymore.

The themes that keep resurfacing are the ones that don't go away: trust, accountability, clarity, and the cost of ignoring communication.

Material riches are not the key to happiness. This is a lesson repeated through both Scripture and popular culture, yet most struggle to accept it. Our Lord came to us in poverty. Although our respective stations in life may call upon us to have material resources, we must not abandon the call to have poverty of spirit, that is, detachment from material goods.

Training failures show up on camera long before intent does. That's the uncomfortable truth we wrestle with as we unpack why officers who can pass a constitutional test still stumble on the street when emotions spike and decisions shrink to hundredths of a second. With Officer Jorge Lopez back in the chair, we go beyond blame and dig into fixes you can measure.We start with the human element: how stress “magnetizes” officers toward danger, why empathy is hard to simulate, and how the wrong FTO can turn a rookie cynical in four weeks. Then we get practical. VR is evolving past flat screens to full‑immersion, haptics, and branching scenarios that pressure‑test distance, cover, and tone. AI on bodycams is poised to surface department policy, state law, and translations in real time—recording the questions you ask and the logic you use. Drone first responder programs give “eyes on” in under a minute, buying the only commodity that truly boosts survivability: time.Two high‑stakes clips ground the talk. In a Walmart detention, a teen's concealed pistol misfires at contact distance; the officer's restraint and a bystander Marine's control prevent a disaster and spotlight the cost of a poor pat‑down. In a hallway call, a suicidal subject with a knife sprints toward officers; commands collapse, and the priority of life takes over. We pull apart what went right and where training needs to adapt: holster discipline, obstacle use, disengagement, and scenario‑based constitutional drills that force choices under pressure, not just recitation in a classroom.We don't dodge the tough policy questions either. Fixed “25‑foot” filming laws are brittle; “reasonable distance” tied to a clear marker is smarter. Case law like Pennsylvania v. Mims exists for officer safety, not convenience—abuse it and we'll lose it. Transparency shouldn't stop at patrol; bodycams shouldn't mute, and courts should meet the same standard with smart redaction. The throughline is simple: better training beats tough talk.

Not because they aren't listening, and not because doctors aren't communicating clearly, but because human psychology steps in to protect us from unbearable news.

Joe Withrow, Brian Moody, and Hans Toohey deliver a joint strategy session on building a financial foundation that survives contact with reality. Why does traditional financial planning put growth before protection? What happens when your plan gets punched in the face? And why is Infinite Banking the only savings vehicle that accomplishes two critical goals simultaneously?Most people have been trained to think their 401(k) is savings and their term life insurance is "just in case." They're told to focus on growth—index funds, average rates of return, retirement projections—while protection and actual savings become afterthoughts. But when job loss hits, disability strikes, or markets crater, the whole plan collapses. This episode reveals the proper order of operations: protect first, save second, grow third. Hans breaks down why "average rate of return" is a meaningless data point. Brian illustrates the parallel paths of protection and wealth accumulation with the diagram that makes it all click. And Joe explains why buying insurance isn't an expense if you do it correctly—it's saving money that immediately becomes accessible capital.The conversation covers IBC mechanics, policy loans that don't disrupt compounding, real estate purchases funded with cash value, the power of dinner table time for passing down values, and why building generational wealth starts with one decision: get the foundation right, then everything else becomes possible.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment01:25 - New Year's resolutions: tangible goals vs. vague aspirations08:50 - The invention of "Retirement Inc." in the 1970s11:05 - Protect, Save, Grow: the proper order of operations13:10 - What traditional CFPs get wrong about protection14:35 - Why "average rate of return" is a useless metric16:40 - Brian's parallel paths diagram begins19:30 - The two parallel paths: protection and wealth accumulation22:30 - What can disrupt the wealth curve?

Introduction December 27th brings sudden urgency—just four days remain to implement critical year-end financial strategies that could save thousands in taxes, reduce portfolio risk, and position retirement accounts for 2025 success. Most people spend more time planning vacations than reviewing their largest asset: their retirement portfolio. But the market’s strong multi-year run has created hidden dangers in 401(k) accounts, particularly for those approaching retirement who haven’t rebalanced in years. In this episode of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson provide an essential year-end checklist covering portfolio drift, account consolidation, tax-smart charitable giving, target date fund dangers, and fraud protection as scam season intensifies. Portfolio Drift: The Silent Risk Multiplier What Five Years Did to Your 401(k) If you established a 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) five years ago and never rebalanced, you’re sitting on dramatically more risk than intended. “If you had a 60-40 split in 2020, today you’re at about 76% stocks if you’ve made no changes,” Mike Johnson explained. “And your account’s worth 20 or 30% more, so there’s more dollars at stake, at risk.” The drift problem: Stocks outperformed bonds over five years Your stock allocation grew from market gains Total account value increased substantially Risk exposure multiplied Example: $500,000 in 2020 (60% stocks = $300,000) is now $650,000 with 76% stocks = $494,000 in equities. Your stock exposure grew 65%. S&P 500 Concentration Risk “About 40% of the S&P 500 is allocated to tech and high multiple stocks,” Mike noted. “If it’s been on autopilot, now is as good a time as any to look at it critically.” Market Corrections Are Inevitable “On average, every year you have a 10% drop in the market. That’s just the cost of admission,” Mike explained. “We had one back in April—it was closer to 20%. You were looking at 40, 50% drops in some things.” “A lot of people have forgotten how—and even that they should—play defense, especially when you’re getting close to retirement,” Mike cautioned. Year-end action: Check your actual allocation today. If stocks exceed your risk tolerance, rebalance before December 31st. Account Consolidation: Simplify Now The Multiple Account Problem “People’s thinking is, if I have this account over here and this account over here, I’ve got more money,” Tom observed. “When they consolidate those accounts, every one of those five pieces put together as one is gonna get managed better.” Hidden Costs of Scattered Accounts “It’s really hard to track performance if you have multiple accounts,” Mike explained. “It’s much simpler, much more accountable when it’s all consolidated together.” Problems with scattered accounts: Impossible to track overall performance Multiple RMD calculations Complex tax reporting Higher fees (missing breakpoint discounts) Poor overall portfolio coordination Mike’s consolidation benefits: “Proper investment to reach your goals, performance tracking, tax reporting, tax planning, and possible discounts on fees.” Year-end action: List all retirement accounts—schedule consolidation to simplify 2025 RMDs and reduce fees. Tax-Smart Year-End Strategies Strategy 1: Gift Appreciated Stock “Let’s say you give $10,000 a year to charity. You can gift those appreciated shares of stock to the organization,” Mike explained. “You can put that money right back into your brokerage account and reinvest it. You could even repurchase the same stock.” The double benefit: Charitable deduction for full market value Avoid capital gains tax on appreciation Example: Stock purchased for $4,000, now worth $10,000. Gift it, avoid $6,000 capital gain, use the $10,000 cash to buy it back. Strategy 2: Qualified Charitable Distribution “If you’re of the age where you have required minimum distributions, you can do a qualified charitable distribution,” Mike explained. “If you gift the RMD straight to the charity, it never flows through as taxable income to you.” QCD advantages: Counts toward RMD requirement Reduces adjusted gross income Lowers Medicare premiums Reduces taxes on Social Security Works even if you don’t itemize Year-end deadline: Execute stock gifts or QCDs before December 31st to count for 2024 taxes. The In-Service Rollover: Plan Three Years Ahead Act at Age 59½—Even While Working “At 59 and a half, you can do what’s called an in-service rollover,” Mike explained. “Even if you’re still employed and working, you can move over the balance of your 401(k) to an IRA and invest it more specifically for your situation.” The Three-Year Retirement Transition “Let’s say you’re 59 and a half and planning on retiring at 62. You can do that rollover, get the funds invested into an income-producing portfolio,” Mike detailed. “While you’re working, that income just reinvests back in. But when you hit 62, that portfolio’s already in place, it’s already working, and literally it’s linked to your checking account.” Tom emphasized the benefit: “It makes the retirement process more comfortable because you’re not leaving work and at the same time coming in brand new, getting comfortable with our investment approach. You’ve planned for it.” The seamless transition: Portfolio established 2-3 years before retirement Dividends reinvest while still working At retirement, switch to income payout mode No adjustment period or uncertainty Year-end action: If age 59½+, investigate in-service rollover options. Target Date Funds: Hidden Dangers The Collective Investment Trust Problem “52% of the assets in target date funds—over $2 trillion—are now in collective investment trusts,” Mike reported. What makes CITs dangerous: “A collective investment trust—they’re not required to register with the SEC,” Mike explained. “They don’t have to report, as transparently, all the internal fees. And they’re allowed to hold more illiquid investments inside of them.” The Blue Rock Disaster “There was a private real estate fund—the Blue Rock Total Income Fund,” Mike detailed. “The net asset value when it was private was about $24 a share. They decided to go public. The fund closed the day it went public at $14.70.” Investor loss: 39% immediately when real market pricing was revealed. “The NAV was bogus. It was totally bogus,” Mike concluded. The Vanguard-TIAA Annuity Trap “Vanguard announced they’re partnering with TIAA, and the target date fund automatically enrolls the investor in an annuity,” Mike reported. “What they’re hoping is that these people that have been on autopilot for 40 years—they’re not gonna change from being on autopilot at year 41,” Mike explained. “It’s just gonna automatically roll into these annuities. This is a money grab to keep the assets locked in.” Why Dupree Financial Group Avoids Them “We don’t use target date funds. We don’t like what the target date fund does to the client’s return,” Tom stated. “It’s about having all your money in one spot the day you retire. That money doesn’t need to be in one spot. It needs to be growing and throwing off dividends.” Mike: “The target date’s all based on historical averages. It doesn’t take into account what’s going on in the market or your situation.” Year-end action: If in a target date fund, research what’s actually inside it before the “glide path” continues. Year-End Fraud Alert: Peak Scam Season The January-February Surge “This time last year, at the first of the year, was one of the biggest fraud pushes that we’ve seen,” Mike warned. “As we get close to the end of the year, be diligent and protect yourself.” Sophisticated Team Operations “These fraudsters are very convincing. They sound like us. They sound like an advisor,” Mike explained. “They’ll bring somebody onto the line. They’ll keep people on the line for three hours. They’ve gotten used to handling objections.” Real Client Losses “We heard two in a row from our clients—older women, same amount: $10,000 each,” Tom recounted. “One woman could afford it. The other one really couldn’t.” The Defense Strategy “The first line of defense is you, the client,” Mike stated. “If you have something that pops up on your screen—don’t click there. If somebody calls—call somebody. Call a trusted person. If you’re a client of ours, call us. But do not take action on any of these things.” Critical warning: “Do not verify within their ecosystem. They say, ‘We’ll let you verify,’ and then they transfer you. They’re all working together.” Tom’s advice: “Get off the phone or don’t click on things and get somebody that you trust to find out exactly what’s going on.” Year-end vigilance: Never click pop-ups, never transfer money based on calls, always verify independently. Your Year-End Action Plan Critical Tasks Before December 31st ✓ Check portfolio drift – Verify stock/bond allocation matches risk tolerance ✓ Rebalance if needed – Reduce risk before 2025 ✓ Execute charitable strategies – Gift stock or make QCD before deadline ✓ Consolidate accounts – Simplify RMDs and reduce fees ✓ Research in-service rollovers – If 59½+, investigate options ✓ Review target date funds – Understand holdings before glide path continues ✓ Increase fraud vigilance – Peak scam season protection Questions Before Year-End What’s my actual current allocation? How many retirement accounts do I have scattered? Am I missing tax-saving charitable strategies? Do I understand what’s in my target date fund? Am I 59½+ with rollover options available? The Bottom Line With days remaining in 2024, retirement investors face critical decisions affecting taxes, risk exposure, and 2025 positioning. Portfolio drift has likely pushed your stock allocation far beyond original intentions. Target date funds may contain illiquid investments, opaque fees, and automatic annuitization. But opportunities exist: tax-smart giving, consolidation, in-service rollovers, and rebalancing. “All of these things fit into more of a holistic long-term retirement financial plan,” Mike concluded. “You want everything moving in the right direction to accomplish your goals.” Schedule Your Portfolio Review Is your portfolio drifted into dangerous territory?

More than one in 10 adults experience dysfunctional breathing symptoms like air hunger and chest tightness, even without having diagnosed lung disease People who currently smoke, or have a history of smoking and respiratory illness, face a dramatically higher risk of developing dysfunctional breathing patterns Dysfunctional breathing leads to overuse of neck and chest muscles, creating tension, fatigue, and shallow breathing that feeds a vicious cycle of stress and exhaustion Poor breathing habits interfere with heart function by reducing heart rate variability and disrupting the body's natural balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide Smoking worsens immune function, promotes oxidative stress, and triggers long-term biological changes that increase your risk for cancer, chronic illness, and dysfunctional breathing

AUSTRALIA DOMINATES ENGLAND IN THE ASHES CRICKET SERIES Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Zakisanalyzes the Ashes series, noting England's poor performance and failure to execute their aggressive "Bazball" strategy effectively. Conversely, Australia's consistent, conservative playing style has fatigued the English team, leading to early victories. Captain Pat Cummins has returned to the field as the final matches proceed in Sydney and Melbourne. 1884
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL: CLASS WARFARE AND THE BLACK VOTE Colleague David Pietrusza. Alf Landonproved a poor campaigner, taking long vacations and delivering ineffective radio speeches. Conversely, Eleanor Roosevelt became a powerful surrogate, campaigning for the black vote in the North, even as Franklin refused to support anti-lynching laws to appease Southern Democrats. The campaign climaxed with Roosevelt's Madison Square Garden speech, where he utilized "class warfare" rhetoric, welcoming the hatred of "economic royalists." Although polls suggested a tightening race and the administration worried about the ongoing Depression, Roosevelt's "naked demagoguery" and energetic campaigning energized his base against the wealthy interests opposing him.
