PMI may be quietly flashing an inflection signal for Bitcoin. While price action and sentiment remain under pressure, shifts in the Purchasing Managers' Index often lead changes in liquidity, rates, and risk appetite—and historically, Bitcoin has tended to turn before the broader economy does. In this livestream, we break down how recent PMI data could be signaling a slowdown that forces policy response, why that matters for Bitcoin more than most assets, and whether this macro indicator is hinting that the current selloff is closer to a reversal than a breakdown.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, your hosts, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams tackle one of the biggest threats to dealership growth heading into 2026… staff retention and leadership breakdowns! "Losers allow their emotions to dictate their actions, but winners choose which emotion to use to get the desired result." - LA Williams Dealerships are spending more money than ever recruiting, hiring, and onboarding… only to lose good people faster than they can replace them. Sean and LA break down why the old dealership playbook is no longer working, what today's salespeople and BDC professionals actually value, and how leadership habits inside the store are either building loyalty, or pushing talent out the door. "If your best people don't see a future with you, they'll build one somewhere else." - Sean V. Bradley They also explore how modern tools like AI and automation are changing the market, but why technology alone won't fix a culture problem. This episode shines a light on the leadership mistakes that quietly create turnover, the importance of real training beyond basic sales tactics, and what it takes to create a dealership environment where top performers actually want to stay. If you're a dealer, GM, manager, or team leader trying to build a stable, high-performing team in 2026 and beyond… this episode is a must-listen. At NADA? So are WE!

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas!     Boosting Dealership Performance in 2026: Mastering Employee Retention and Leadership Key Takeaways Employee retention is more about leadership and culture than recruitment. Effective training that encompasses skill, professional, and personal development is crucial. Social proof through online reviews significantly impacts recruitment and retention success. In the rapidly evolving automotive industry of 2026, dealerships are challenged not only to attract but also keep quality workers amidst technological and cultural shifts. As laid bare in a candid discussion from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, industry veterans Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams delve into the core problem areas and present innovative strategies for car dealerships. They assert that solving retention issues boils down to fortifying leadership, improving workplace culture, and ensuring clear communication. The Changing Landscape of Recruitment and Retention A New Era of Employee Expectations Today's employees desire more than just financial compensation; they seek transparency, flexibility, and a positive workplace environment. Bradley emphasizes, "Employees value time flexibility and transparency, especially the younger generation. They won't tolerate a toxic culture." As such, dealerships need to adapt their recruitment strategies and workplace conditions to align with these expectations. This means offering not just monetary incentives, but valuing employees' time, ensuring work-life balance, and recognizing individual achievements. This shift reflects broader workplace trends where employees are increasingly unafraid to leave unsatisfactory jobs for better opportunities. Building an All-Inclusive Training Strategy Comprehensive training is the backbone of employee satisfaction and retention. Bradley illustrates the importance of multi-faceted development by saying, "If you're not training them on product knowledge, on the road to the sale, on Internet sales… you're not doing enough." Today's sales landscape demands more than traditional selling skills; it requires proficiency in CRM systems, social media, and AI technologies. By setting a high standard and providing adequate resources and training, dealerships can create an empowered workforce capable of exceeding sales goals. Culture and Leadership: The Heart of Employee Retention Nurturing a Positive Workplace Culture Workplace culture is the invisible force that significantly influences employee retention. Williams and Bradley highlight how recognition and respectful treatment can transform workplace morale. Bradley candidly shares, "Happy employees equal happy customers." When employees feel valued and recognized, their dedication and loyalty grow, which in turn positively influences customer experiences. To foster such a culture, dealerships should focus on team-building and personal development alongside professional growth. Celebrating personal milestones and achievements through social media or team meetings fosters a sense of community and belonging. Providing emotional and practical support not just ensures employee well-being but results in enhanced performance and customer satisfaction. Fixing Leadership Gaps to Drive Success A crucial step in improving employee retention is addressing leadership deficiencies. As Williams asserts, "Top salespeople don't automatically make great leaders… Leadership development is paramount." Promoting based purely on sales success can lead to leadership gaps; instead, focus should be on developing comprehensive management skills amongst promising employees. Managers should embrace roles that include mentorship and coaching, striving for emotional intelligence, and delivering fair criticism in a constructive manner. Regular one-on-ones and feedback sessions should be structured not just for performance reviews, but for mutual growth and progression. Creating clear career paths for every role reflects a transparent approach, ensuring employees see their future potential within the company. Reputation, Social Proof, and Retention The Power of Social Proof Through Online Reputation In today's digital landscape, online reviews extend beyond customer opinions and into employment evaluations. Many dealerships remain unaware of how platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed are crucial in shaping perceptions of potential hires. Bradley stresses the importance of these review sites, stating, "People research your store before they apply." Negative employment reviews can deter top talent from joining a dealership. Proactively managing these reviews can enhance a dealership's appeal, suggesting a focus on reputation management alongside customer service. Positive employment reviews reinforce trust and attract quality candidates, ultimately aiding in achieving retention goals and enhancing overall dealership reputation. Aligning Brand and Employment Messaging The alignment of external brand communication with internal employee experience creates a strong market position and fosters employee loyalty. Bradley champions this by advocating for consistent positive messaging on dealership social media, celebrating employee milestones and achievements. This tactic not only strengthens workforce morale but also attracts potential employees by spotlighting a vibrant, supportive workplace culture. Intertwining these aspects — adopting modern recruitment practices, refining leadership qualities, and enhancing online reputation — sets a solid foundation for enduring success amidst the complexities of 2026. Following the Buick slogan "When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them," progressive dealerships will attract and retain top-tier talent by building better workplaces first. The future belongs to dealerships that not only adapt to change but forge change, beginning within their own ranks.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Too many managers make the mistake of thinking they have to be a "tough" interviewer. They think that interviewing is adversarial. They think they need to apply pressure to see how candidates react. But in fact, positive interviewing is much more effective, both in terms of outcomes and in terms of offer acceptance rates.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kaela.Kaela is a mama of one from Australia.In today's episode she shares about her empowering and natural home birth that turned into a hospital transfer as she had a 3rd degree tear. Hospital transfers and tears are the 2 biggest fears amongst pregnant mamas and especially you who listen to this podcast. So what better way of facing those fears than by listening to a mama who had, according to herself, the most empowering birth even though she had both one of the bigger tears that only around 5% of women get and a hospital transfer from her home birth.People usually assume I think a natural birth through and through is the be all and end all because I am a huge advocate about educating about natural physiological birth and the benefits of it. But if you've listened to me for any length of time you know this is not true, and if you're a student or mentee of mine you know it even deeper.I'm all for education in pregnancy and optimizing body, mind and soul for your desired birth outcome which I believe mostly have to do with inner work, facing fears and deeply getting to know your body, baby and having a relationship with your intuition.Once the first contraction hits you are now to surrender to the great mystery of birth. And a positive birth experience is not necessarily a natural one. Not holding on to a certain outcome for your happiness is so important and trusting that there is wisdom in the way you birth even if it's not the way you wanted it. We can learn so much about ourselves, our babies, our deep hidden patterns and allow birth to awaken us, transform us and enlighten us instead of feeling like failures if it didn't end up being exactly as we wished.I love that Kaela only have positive proud feelings around her home birth where some might have felt the opposite having had a 3rd degree tear and transfer.I hope her story and how she navigated her tear and transfer is inspiring to you and also might release some fear around these two occurring in your birth.Want to work with Anna or join The Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship?Find Anna's Website, about her Mentorship & How to Work with Her, as well as all Links & Resources she mentions in the episode here:www.sacredbirthinternational.com/links-podcast

Episode 2886: Adina Soclof offers a compassionate and practical guide for parents struggling with anger and frustration. By learning new communication strategies, recognizing emotional triggers, and using mindful self-talk, parents can strengthen their relationships with their children and reduce guilt-driven blowups. Her tools empower families to build emotional awareness, resilience, and healthier daily dynamics. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentingsimply.com/5-surefire-ways-to-stop-losing-it-with-your-kids/ Quotes to ponder: "Positive, neutral self-talk is calming and will motivate you to think of solutions." "When we say we are sorry to our children we are role modeling for them what to do when they mess up and hurt someone's feelings." "Once I was able to give my children a way to read my moods, they became more respectful of my feelings. In turn, I became more aware of what they needed when they were in their own 'red zones.' When I gave myself permission to talk about my moods with my children we started working as a team."

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Dr. Andrew Wittman, former Marine, police officer, federal agent, and leadership coach, about his new book Inner Armor: Perpetual Resilience. If you lead projects and teams, you already know pressure is coming. The real question is what you do when it arrives. Andrew explains why the brain can work against you under stress, and how the questions you ask yourself shape the options you can see. You'll learn the Two Minute Rule and how it can help you shift from "we can't" thinking into problem-solving mode. Andy and Andrew also explore how filters and assumptions influence what leaders notice, why limitation can be more dangerous than fear, and what it looks like to build a First Responder Mindset so you can hold your poise when stakeholders push back. They close with a powerful discussion on identity and a practical look at raising resilient kids. If you're looking for insights on leading with clarity and composure when the stakes are high, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The first thing you have to understand about the brain is that it is the original search engine. Like it has to answer a question." "The brain knows that you're a genius. Even if you don't consciously recognize that you're a genius, your brain knows it. It'll never go against your genius self. So if you say things like, I don't know how we could do this, your brain says, 'Oh, we don't know.' So it stops searching completely for any answer." "Just for two minutes, pretend that you could do it. It's amazing that your brain will just go to work and find like 15 ways you actually could do it, whereas seconds ago, we thought we couldn't." "When bad news happens, get happy. Whenever you hear bad news, you should get happy because this is your biggest opportunity to have the greatest comeback ever." "My question is, no matter what the bad news is, I'm going to ask myself this: how can I use this to my greatest possible advantage?" "I want to know what the holes in this project are. I don't want to hear rainbows and sunshine, right? Positive thinking will get you killed quicker than negative thinking." "We take in 11 million bits of information per second. Every second we see, hear, feel, touch, 11 million bits. Only 126 bits go to our conscious mind for action, which means we're filtering out 99.9% of all that information." "When you walk into a room, and you think no one supports you, you're going to see every cue that you could find to back that up. And you'll discard anything that would go against that." "The world is always ready to define you if you don't define yourself." "My identity: I'm a man of excellence who always keeps his word. I aspire to always keep my word. And so everything that I do is pre-decided by that identity." "Excellence is if I give my best effort, I could sleep tonight." "Welcome to Planet Earth, everybody has to deal with the externals. It's the great equalizer. We all have to deal with it. You're not special. I hate to tell you, CEO, you're not special." "Those pressure situations, they don't create your habits. They actually reveal them."

Welcome to Day 2 of this morning meditation series on how to start your day in a way that can truly change your life. Today's featured technique is a simple but powerful affirmation: "Today is the best day of my life." You'll be guided to use this phrase not as a forced "positive mood," but as a mindset shift that trains your brain to look for possibility, momentum, and meaningful moments—before stress has a chance to take the lead. This practice helps you set the emotional tone of your day, strengthen focus, and move through your morning with more confidence, gratitude, and intention—one thought at a time. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to a special meditation series all about how you start your day—because the first few minutes after you wake up can quietly shape your mood, your focus, your choices, and ultimately the direction of your life. I created this series a few years ago, and I'm sharing it with you now as you finish out the first month of this year—because if you've been wanting a real shift, this is one of the most powerful places to begin. Starting your day the right way isn't about being perfect or adding more to your to-do list; it's about creating a simple inner rhythm that helps you feel grounded, clear, and intentional before the world starts pulling at you. Over the next several days, you'll be guided through short, supportive practices designed to help you wake up your body, calm your mind, and set the emotional tone that can change everything. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Morning Meditation Series: Start Your Day Right and Change Your Life,"  episodes 2987-2993.
