In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Annuities are contracts  How Indexed Annuities Should Be Used  Don't buy an annuity for market returns    Key Takeaways:  To say that something is “guaranteed and backtested” means that there is nothing guaranteed at all. Annuities are contracts; buy them for what they will do and not what they might do.  Indexed Annuities have the potential to go down in value, but they can be used as an efficient delivery system for guaranteed lifetime income through an income rider attachment.  If you want market returns, never buy an annuity. Annuity solves for four things: Principal protection, Income for life, Legacy, and Long-term care.    "Do not buy the annuity dream because you're gonna own the contractual reality." —  Stan The Annuity Man.    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Are you caught in the endless cycle of deadlines, to-do lists, and meetings?   If you're like most school leaders, you probably measure your success by how many tasks you complete and deadlines you meet. But here's the truth: that approach is keeping you stuck in a loop of doing without ever feeling truly accomplished.   As we enter a new school year, I'm inviting leaders to shift from purely deadline-driven planning to outcome-based vision that considers not just what needs to be done, but who we need to be while doing it.    Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/395

En El Salvador, Cristosal, la mayor ONG de derechos humanos abandona el país tras 25 años de presencia en el país centroamericano. La decisión llega después de que su directora de anticorrupción, Ruth López, fue arrestada por cargos de corrupción, en un proceso que ha sido cuestionado por organismos internacionales. "Estamos obligados a elegir entre la prisión o el exilio" dice Noah Bullock, el director ejecutivo de Cristosal, una ong fundada en 2001 por obispos anglicanos, y que investiga casos de corrupción y violación de derechos humanos durante el gobierno de Nayib Bukele. Ellos han tomado la decisión de irse de El Salvador ante lo que califican de una escalada represiva del gobierno; Noah Bullock: "Sumado a quienes tenemos pocas esperanzas podernos defender ante una instancia de justicia imparcial o independiente, decidimos que no les servimos a las víctimas que acompañamos, ni tampoco a nuestros presos políticos, también estando en la cárcel." La decisión la tomaron después de que el gobierno aprobó la Ley de Agentes Extranjeros (LAEX) que obliga a las ongs a pagar un impuesto del 30 % de sus fondos; pero sobre todo, después de que en marzo pasado la jefa de su unidad anticorrupción, Ruth López, fue acusada por el gobierno de malversación de fondos; ella fue detenida y desaparecida por un periodo de tiempo en el que ni sus familiares ni colegas de Cristosal sabían donde se encontraba. Noah Bullock: "Ya han amenazado a capturar otros miembros de nuestro liderazgo. Ya tenemos años de estar bajo un acoso estatal casi constante. Incluso hace poco tuvimos un grupo de policías que entraron a nuestra oficina en medio de una conferencia de prensa y tomaron fotos de todos los vehículos de los periodistas, pero éso ya se había tristemente normalizado. La captura de nuestro colega para nosotros nos dejó muy claro de que esta represión está muy dirigida a nosotros para mandar un mensaje a toda la población, de que quienes piensan distinto al régimen, pueden sufrir represalias incluso matarse". Según la ONG, en los últimos tres años, mas de 86 mil personas han sido detenidas de manera arbitraria y sin que medie una investigación por el gobierno de Nayib Bukele. Cristosal agregó que su labor continúa, "reorganizada y comprometida, desde Guatemala y Honduras", países donde también trabaja desde hace años y cuenta con sedes.

The Employee Experience MBA class that I'm teaching this summer is in full swing, with a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. One of the things that I emphasize out of the gate is that employee experience is about optimizing the organization for the employee. Or, put simply, treat your employees like human beings, and treat them well. Shocking I know. But there is something about some organizations and business that can be dehumanizing in their own unique ways, as well as in the ways that they can replicate larger social dynamics that exist. Taken together, these elements can be unhelpful when trying to create better experience and more inclusive environments. As a result, the simple idea of treating people as people can at times not be so simple to execute.Thus for the next 6 weeks we'll be going over how we can conceptualize, integrate, and execute employee experience. Not that any of this is going to be mastered in six weeks. Mastery isn't achieved by taking a single course. It is in the doing of work, of applying concepts, of developing experience that we can start to reach the point of mastery. It is through the dedication to the concepts introduced, and the examples presented, that the students can be in the position to make for better employee experiences.One of the things I enjoy about this course is the way in which it is directly connected to applying the concepts that are learned. We might think of academia as a place where there is a lot of conceptualizing, and industry as a place where there is a lot of doing. It would then make sense, at least to me, that there is more partnership that takes place between industry and academia. But we don't often see that. Rather, at least in US society, we see more of a divide between academia and industry which precludes this kind of collaboration. Luckily, today on Experience by Design, we have someone who can talk about improving organizational culture, employee experience, and academia and industry collaborations. Josee Tremblay has a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, a certificate in Strategic Decision and Risk Management from the Stanford School of Engineering, as well as other educational achievements. She has worked in the energy industry and is now a Principal at Strategic Decisions Group. In addition, she serves on the Schulich Industry Advisory Council for the School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. So she knows something about integrating industry and academia.Also, she has written a book called Us and Yet and Yet.  It is a fascinating examination and discussion of gender in the workplace. Her focus was on genders in nontraditional roles. Think male nurses, female engineers, and the like. In her book, she shares her experiences of transforming organizations through leadership, removing biases, and nurturing a positive multi-gender environment. Her goal is to give people a roadmap to collaboration and working together. We talk about all these elements in our conversation, along with the key message of no matter your background, you are bringing in a contribution which is essential. The role of leadership is to create an environment to bring that out. "Us and Yet and Yet" - https://usandyet.comJosee Tremblay LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/josee-tremblay/

In this special live episode of The Voice of Retail, recorded at RCC STORE 2025, I sit down with two retail thought leaders: Simone Lumsden, Senior Vice-President, Triangle Customer Loyalty and Triangle Retail Media, Canadian Tire Corporation, and Sandra Duff, Founder and Principal at Another Story Consulting. Together, we explore what it takes to deliver loyalty, excitement, and differentiation in an increasingly parity-driven retail environment.Simone shares how Canadian Tire is evolving its Triangle Rewards program beyond the traditional notion of loyalty. From its iconic paper money origins to a modern digital currency used across banners, Triangle is now designed to be simple, flexible, and personal. Simone explains how Canadian Tire is using customer data to deliver meaningful value through personalized offers and experiences, while acknowledging there's still work to be done to make those offers more relevant and engaging.Sandra contributes powerful insights drawn from her years of customer research, highlighting the crucial distinction between "jobs" and "joys" in retail. She stresses that while table stakes, such as price and convenience, must be met, fun and inspiration are what truly differentiate. Together, we discuss how in-store experiences must move beyond transactions to create environments that delight and connect with customers on an emotional level.The conversation shifts to retail media, where Simone emphasizes the importance of striking a balance between monetization and the customer experience. She describes how Canadian Tire is introducing in-store and digital retail media in non-intrusive, contextually relevant ways, avoiding the cluttered, disruptive examples seen elsewhere. Sandra reinforces that strong customer insights should never live in silos, but should empower every team—from marketing to store associates—to deliver differentiated value.We also delve into innovation and experimentation—from new flagship formats at Sport Chek and Mark's, to coalition partnerships, and the rise of agentic AI in shaping the future of shopping journeys. Simone encourages retailers to stay curious and test new approaches without fear of past failures, while Sandra calls for more real-time feedback loops and smaller-scale pilot programs to learn what resonates most.

Rich Hill, global head of real estate research at Principal Asset Management, was a guest on the latest episode of the REIT Report podcast. He shared insights into sentiment within the REIT space today, public-private valuations, foreign fund flows into U.S. listed real estate, the elements of a resilient, growth-oriented real estate investment portfolio, and more. Hill stressed that commercial real estate should be viewed as a “diversified portfolio of various different property types, not just in the U.S. but in Europe. There is an opportunity someplace, somewhere in the world to add value through listed REITs and we think that will continue.” He noted that adding listed REITs to a private portfolio of real estate reduces volatility. “We advocate for having a 10% to 30% allocation to listed REITs within a private portfolio of real estate because we really do think it optimizes portfolios,” he said.

Representantes de setores atingidos pelo tarifaço de Donald Trump se reuniram nesta terça-feira (15) em Brasília com o comitê interministerial que vai elaborar a resposta brasileira à chantagem do presidente dos EUA. Governo e empresários do agronegócio e da indústria concordaram que a Lei da Reciprocidade deve ser o último recurso a ser usado. Neste episódio, Julia Duailibi ouve representantes de três setores para entender os impactos e as estratégias dos exportadores brasileiros. Primeiro, Julia conversa com Márcio Ferreira, presidente do Conselho dos Exportadores de Café do Brasil, o CeCafé. Principal mercado consumidor do grão, os EUA compram 17% da produção brasileira – cerca de 1/3 de todo o café consumido em solo americano sai do Brasil. Márcio relata como foi a reunião com representantes do governo, e diz o que os produtores brasileiros planejam para manter essa relação de “ganha-ganha” com os EUA. Depois, Julia fala com Ibiapaba Netto, diretor-executivo da Associação Nacional dos Exportadores de Sucos Cítricos. O Brasil é líder mundial na exportação de suco de laranja – e Ibiapaba explica toda sua cadeia produtiva: da plantação da laranja no Brasil até o suco chegar à mesa do consumidor americano. Ele comenta também os impactos no emprego e na indústria de São Paulo, maior região produtora de laranja do mundo. Participa também Raul Jungmann, diretor-presidente do Instituto Brasileiro de Mineração (Ibram), organização que reúne mais de 200 produtores de minério. Jungmann avalia o impacto para a produção nacional, e responde quais mercados o Brasil pode mirar caso as tarifas de 50% entrem em vigor.

The Government has announced an end to open plan classrooms. The initial concept began in 2011 under National's then Education Minister Hekia Parata. For a period, every new classroom had to be built open plan, so up to 100 students could learn in one space with 3 teachers collaboratively. Many schools still have them, but Education Minister Erica Stanford says the barn-like designs "aren't meeting the needs of students". Instead, there will be a range of designs schools can choose from that are flexible, but not open plan. Principal of Albany Senior High School and the President of the Auckland Secondary Schools Principals Association Claire Amos spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

School leaders constantly face situations where they need to expand their skills, build new systems, or navigate challenging conversations. The natural response is often to look outside ourselves for answers, seeking the exact steps someone else took to achieve success. But this external search for solutions can actually limit our growth and keep us from tapping into the wisdom and expertise we already possess.   In this episode, I explore why we ask "how" questions and what they reveal about our beliefs in our own capabilities. I share three powerful options for handling those moments when your brain offers up questions like "How do I build culture?" or "How do I manage my time?" And you'll learn an approach that will transform the way you view your own expertise.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/394

This week, Jack Sharry talks with Jeffrey Levi and Rafael Couto for a deep dive into the future of wealth management. Jeffrey is a Principal at Casey Quirk Deloitte and leads the firm's Strategy Offering for Financial Services. He advises wealth and asset managers on complex strategic challenges and spearheads research in areas like private credit, alternative investments, and evolving investment strategies. Rafael, a Senior Manager at Deloitte, helps wealth managers and retirement providers navigate large-scale technology and operational transformations. He focuses on boosting efficiency and improving service delivery, particularly in the growing convergence of workplace and wealth management. Together, they unpack Casey Quirk's latest white paper, which outlines five key growth drivers for the wealth management industry over the next decade. They explore the critical capabilities top-performing firms are building—and how these firms are aligning strategy, technology, and operations to deliver stronger growth and better client experiences. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:37) - Why Deloitte is doubling down on wealth management research (04:03) - Casey Quirk's research participants (06:01) - The five core drivers of future growth in wealth management (09:43) - How these capabilities show up across different channels (11:00) - What it means to build a “transformative DNA” within a firm (15:30) - The challenge of delivering a truly holistic client experience (19:40) - How leading firms are earning and maintaining client trust (24:30) - Why the core wealth platform is becoming a key competitive edge (26:52) - Taking an end-to-end approach to platform design (29:14) - What the future of work looks like in this space (33:17) - Rafael's and Jeffrey's interests outside of work Quotes "In our advisory work, we're seeing a widening gap in performance, growth, and advisor and client experience in the overall marketplace. Some firms are winning, some firms are clearly more stagnant, and in some cases, some firms are starting to decay." ~ Jeffrey Levi "The ecosystem that exists today is going to look very different in five to 10 years because service providers are all evolving to become technology providers. We're seeing massive convergence across servicers, technology firms, clearing and custody firms, TAMPs. We're seeing IBDs want to launch a platform as a service model to serve other parts of the landscape." ~ Jeffrey Levi "When we looked at the characteristics of those that are growing faster, we really saw that they're shaping their services around financial advice and having that at the center of the journey." ~ Rafael Couto "When we say end-to-end, it is what you put in front of the client that matters. But then you have to think all the way down to the operational component, and how you bring everything together. The value you bring to the client is what really makes you win in the market." ~ Rafael Couto Links  Jeffrey Levi on LinkedIn Casey Quirk, A Deloitte Business Rafael Couto on LinkedIn Deloitte Chip Roame Ridgefield 8 Bocce Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook
