Beth Akers discusses the fallout from the August 1 student loan deadline. “The consequences are back” for borrowers, Beth says. She talks about the end of the Biden-era SAVE plan, and the services still available to student borrowers. Borrowers need to be “proactive” and there are “hoops to jump through,” Beth says, or there will “be a lot more trouble.” She also addresses whether college is worth the cost: she says yes, and thinks disenchantment with the system will push colleges to hone their offerings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) CEO Dr Daniel Vitt talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's second-quarter highlights, with a particular focus on clinical progress in its multiple sclerosis (MS) programs. The headline development was the promising results from the Phase 2 CALLIPER trial of vidofludimus calcium, Immunic's lead asset in progressive MS. Vitt noted a 24% reduction in disability progression across the full study population, with over 30% reduction seen in patients with primary progressive MS. “That basically confirms the mode of action of the drug,” Vitt said, underlining its potential to slow disease progression. Vitt also addressed the completion of enrollment in the Phase 3 ENSURE trials, which are testing vidofludimus calcium in relapsing MS. These two twin studies now include 2,200 patients in total, with data expected by the end of next year. Further support came from long-term results in the EMPhASIS study, testing vidofludimus calcium in relapsing-remitting MS, where more than 90% of patients remained free of disability progression after nearly three years of treatment. Vitt highlighted the low discontinuation rates and long-term adherence as additional positive indicators. Finally, he commented on the company's strengthened financial position, citing recent capital raises as critical to progressing both Phase 3 trials.

SSV Capital PLC corporate finance team member Murtaza Memon joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio with more on the company's focus on open banking and its potential to transform financial services in the United Kingdom and beyond. Memon described open banking as a “seismic shift” in how money moves between people and organisations, calling it a frictionless mechanism for payments that will support the rapid scaling of new financial products. According to him, open banking isn't just a set of regulations, but a “springboard of innovation”. While acknowledging that many still see open banking as niche or limited to fintechs, Memon argued that it's already becoming mainstream. He noted, “A lot of credit decisions that are being done right now are being done through data, which is shared on open banking.” He pointed to the adoption of QR code and account-to-account payments across Asia as evidence of the model's scalability, predicting that within five years, open banking will simply be “the way finance works”. To achieve greater scale in the UK, Memon said that SMEs are beginning to adopt the technology, large industry players are investing in it, and consumer education will be key. He noted that eventually, consumers will be using open banking without even realising it. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

SSV Capital PLC CEO Ankur Ghosh joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio with details of the company's recent progress and future plans in the fintech space. The conversation began with Ghosh confirming that SSV Capital has fully repaid its convertible loan note holders, returning more than £3 million to investors. He described this as a positive milestone that has generated strong investor confidence, with many reinvesting into the business. The company's primary focus now lies in accelerating development around SSV Smart Pay, particularly in open banking and real estate proptech. Additionally, it has begun operations for its fund management business, SSV Funds sarl, based in Luxembourg. Looking ahead, Ghosh revealed major news: the launch of SSV Smart Account, with regulatory approval expected by 15 September. This move will allow the company to offer savings and current accounts, targeted primarily at its Smart Pay merchant base, but open to all customers. “We were challenging Visa and Mastercard,” Ghosh said. “Now, we'll be launching current accounts, challenging Monzo and Revolut.” He added that SSV Capital is aiming to build a full embedded finance ecosystem, including plans to explore a service that could rival Klarna. The company intends to soft-launch SSV Smart Account by the end of September or early October 2025. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Pitcher Partners Principal Advisor Andrew Wilson talked with Proactive about alternative strategies for generating passive income in today's evolving financial landscape. With inflation, interest rate shifts, and volatility affecting traditional income streams, Wilson explored diversified approaches smart investors can consider. He noted that a common mistake is concentrating on a single asset class. “There's only one free lunch in investing and that is diversification,” Wilson said. He stressed the need for clear portfolio goals and selecting assets based on income timelines and capital intentions. Wilson outlined a range of passive income sources including equities, bonds, private credit, infrastructure, and real estate. He also touched on less traditional options such as royalties, catastrophe bonds, and litigation finance, while emphasising the importance of understanding associated risks. On tax strategies, Wilson advised income-focused investors to consider asset placement across different entities like superannuation, trusts, and companies. Timing asset sales and drawing income from less tax-efficient structures were among the key tactics discussed. Wilson also highlighted the shift in focus toward total return, particularly for retirees, and recommended active over passive bond management as market conditions evolve.

Summer's winding down, kids are heading back to school, and your weekly rhythm is about to look very different. In this episode of our H2 Leaders summer series, Jonathan and Alan define what true resilience looks like for a leader—and why it has nothing to do with “toughing it out” and everything to do with maintaining what matters most in your life. You'll learn Alan's 3-C framework for navigating change (Change | Clarity | Communication), plus practical habits to build both proactive steadiness and responsive flexibility so you can lead with confidence through every season. What You'll Learn What Is Resilience? Why it's not grit or forced optimism, but the ability to maintain your values, boundaries, and priorities when your world shifts. The 3-C Framework: Change is inevitable—embrace that it's coming. Clarity lets you decide your next move, even in uncertainty. Communication (louder and clearer!) keeps your team trusting you through every pivot. Proactive vs. Responsive Practices: – Proactive: Routines that build your “resilience muscle” (sleep, exercise, Sabbath rhythms). – Responsive: Short breaks and mental shifts when the unexpected pops up (a tech failure, a new tariff, a sudden deadline). Why Reevaluation Matters: How and why you must regularly revisit your goals, metrics and projections as conditions evolve. Quick Tips for Staying Grounded: – Five daily habits Jonathan and Alan swear by. – The “stimulus → pause → response” window you can train for. Key Takeaways Change never knocks—it busts in like the Kool-Aid Man. You can't control every shift—but you can control how you prepare and respond. Communicate more (not less!) when things feel most uncertain. Clarity of next steps beats false hope: ask “Who can help me?” and “What 2–3 areas do I need to grow?” Stop chasing certainty—build your resilience through repeated small wins and honest conversations. Action Challenge Pause & Reflect: How do you typically respond when change hits? Pick One Practice: Schedule one proactive habit this week (e.g. a 10-minute walk, dedicated Sabbath hour, or quick mindfulness break). Reevaluate: Block off 15 minutes to update your top 3 priorities in light of any recent shifts.

Think battery storage systems are fire hazards? The data tells a different story.Today on the Clean Power Hour, Joe DeBellis, Global Head of Clean Energy at FireTrace, reveals shocking findings from a survey of nearly 4,000 Americans about battery storage safety. While headlines focus on rare fire incidents, 71% of Americans actually support battery energy storage technology.Here's what you'll discover:The surprising truth about battery fires: 89% start from electrical components, not the batteries themselves. Only 11% originate from battery cells or modules. Fire incidents have dropped 97% between 2018-2023, with just one fire per 35 gigawatts of installed capacity.Why public opposition exists: 52% of the 29% who oppose battery projects lack basic information about the technology. Misinformation drives fear more than actual risk data.What's inside battery containers: Beyond batteries, these systems contain HVAC equipment, power conversion systems, battery management systems, and control cabinets. Each component presents different fire risks requiring specific suppression strategies.FireTrace's dual approach to safety: Clean agent systems protect electrical components without damaging electronics. Aerosol technology using potassium carbonate prevents thermal runaway in battery cells.How developers can improve project approval: Proactive safety planning beats reactive measures. Early engagement with authorities having jurisdiction and communities builds trust through education.The regulatory landscape: UL 9540, NFPA 855, and evolving safety standards are creating better frameworks for safe deployment.The key takeaway: Focus fire prevention efforts on electrical components, not just batteries. This approach addresses 89% of actual fire risks while building community trust through education.Connect with Guest LinkedIn: Joe DeBellisWebsite: Firetrace Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Ivo Dimitrov is co-founder and Chief Venture Officer at Finum, a neobank and financial solutions provider for SMEs and freelancers across Europe. Previously serving as CPO for five years, Ivo transformed his role to focus on high-risk, high-reward products, particularly AI accounting solutions. Before Finum, he co-founded a startup incubator (before the term existed) that launched hundreds of products, including the successful Modul Bank, now a top-three fast-growing SME bank in Russia. Based in Berlin, Ivo brings over a decade of fintech and product development experience to building the future of AI-powered business tools.SummaryIn this episode, Dominic explores the evolution from traditional product management to venture-focused innovation with Ivo, who's pioneering AI accounting solutions that promise to revolutionise how SMEs handle their finances. From his unique "Chief Venture Officer" role to the strategic decision to orchestrate rather than build AI models, discover how Finum is creating proactive AI agents that handle accounting tasks automatically while ensuring human oversight and trust.The conversation delves into the psychology of AI adoption, the importance of conversational UI design, and why the future belongs to companies that can integrate seamlessly into emerging AI platforms rather than compete with them. Ivo shares hard-won lessons from launching AI products in regulated industries and explains why "storytellers" are more valuable than ML engineers in today's AI landscape.DiscoverOrchestration Over Creation: The biggest mistake AI companies make is trying to build their own models instead of orchestrating existing foundation models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Time-to-market and adaptability are more crucial than proprietary technology.The Storyteller Role: Success in AI products requires "storytellers" - people who can explain complex requirements to AI models in simple terms. This skill is more valuable than traditional ML engineering for most AI applications.Conversational UI Revolution: The future of software interfaces isn't traditional buttons and forms, but enriched conversational experiences that dynamically present the right UI elements based on context and user requests.Proactive vs Reactive AI: The most valuable AI products don't wait for user requests - they proactively identify opportunities, send reminders, and take action, requiring only verification rather than instruction from users.Platform Integration Strategy: As AI platforms like ChatGPT become dominant, success will come from seamless integration rather than platform competition. Think App Store dynamics rather than trying to build competing ecosystems.Trust Through Transparency: AI adoption in high-stakes domains like accounting requires insurance backing, clear reasoning explanations for every decision, and the ability for users to easily override AI choices when needed.The Psychology of AI Acceptance: Humans apply zero-tolerance standards to AI errors while accepting much higher error rates from humans. Overcoming this requires strategic trust-building and demonstrable value delivery.European Market Complexity: Despite appearing unified, Europe requires country-specific approaches - Germans spend 12-17 minutes reading terms and conditions that French users skip through in 7-10 seconds, fundamentally affecting product design and adoption strategies.Connect with Ivo- https://www.linkedin.com/in/millt/Book RecommendationDominic's book Mind Your F**king Business is out nowSign up to receive the weekly newsletter:

You'll laugh (cutoff butt shorts at an interview?), you'll learn, and you'll probably leave wanting to rewrite your interview guide. Takeaways Setting clear expectations is crucial in the hiring process. Identifying red flags can prevent future issues in team dynamics. Resumes should be evaluated for presentation and experience. Cultural fit is as important as skills and experience. Behavioral questions can reveal a candidate's true character. Curiosity in candidates indicates genuine interest in the role. Hiring slow and firing fast helps maintain a positive culture. Proactive communication is key to a successful team environment. Candidates should demonstrate accountability and teamwork. Reflecting on past interview experiences can improve future hiring practices.

Solo aging, defined as aging without the traditional support of a spouse, adult children, or close relatives, is a growing demographic reality for many individuals over 55. Far from a negative concept, solo aging is increasingly seen as an empowering journey that emphasizes proactive planning, community engagement, and the creation of a robust "personal village" to ensure a secure, purposeful, and joyful later life. This article explores the key aspects of solo aging, including its definition, the importance of planning, building a support network, addressing challenges, and available resources.Reframing Solo AgingSolo aging encompasses a broad group, including those who are single, widowed, divorced, estranged from family, or whose children are unable or unwilling to provide care. As Steve Gurney notes, "We are all aging solo…there's only one person aging in my body, and it's me." The term, coined by Sara Zeff Geber, has evolved from focusing solely on childless individuals to anyone lacking a reliable support system. Unlike the outdated and disheartening term "elder orphan," "solo aging" is empowering, encouraging individuals to take ownership of their future with pride and agency. Even those with families are encouraged to plan for solo aging, as partners may pass away, and adult children may not be available or suitable as caregivers.Proactive planning is the cornerstone of successful solo aging, preventing crises and providing peace of mind. As experts emphasize, "Planning for solo aging is much easier and far less stressful if it is done BEFORE a crisis." A comprehensive plan spans multiple life domains: health, finances, legal matters, housing, social connections, purpose, and spiritual well-being. Carol Marak's "aging well circle" offers a framework for assessing these areas. Financial foresight is particularly critical, involving proactive saving, consulting financial advisors, and preparing for potential care costs. Such planning empowers individuals to maintain control over their lives and minimize burdens on others.A "personal village" is the heart of solo aging, providing not just assistance but also purpose, joy, and belonging. Creating this network requires intentional effort, as solo agers must think differently about relationships. This village includes friends, neighbors, community members, and professionals, with an emphasis on age-diverse connections for mutual support. Practical strategies include:Inventorying Connections: List current contacts and identify gaps to address.Nurturing Relationships: Foster reciprocity and reach out to both close and casual contacts, as unexpected allies often emerge.Engaging in Shared Interests: Join clubs, volunteer, or take classes to connect over passions like gardening or book clubs, especially helpful for introverts.Leveraging Online Communities: Platforms like MeetUp, Stitch, NextDoor, and Facebook groups (e.g., "Elder Orphans," "NYC Solo Agers") facilitate connections, while Senior Planet and GetSetUp offer classes fostering friendships.Balancing Vulnerability and Boundaries: Be open to deep connections while setting clear expectations.This interdependence, rather than fierce independence, is key to thriving as a solo ager.Finding a trustworthy medical or financial power of attorney (POA) is a significant challenge. Trustworthiness is paramount, and potential proxies—whether family, friends, or professionals like licensed fiduciaries, aging life care managers, or elder law attorneys—require relationship-building over time. Patient advocates and daily money managers can also assist in navigating healthcare and financial systems.

Okay serious question…with athletes playing more games than ever before, how do you find ways to “sneak” strength workouts into their routine?

          In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, host Autumn highlights the life-or-death importance of keeping pigs cool and hydrated during hot summer months. Whether a pig lives indoors or outside, summer heat poses real dangers—especially since pigs don't sweat and can't regulate their body temperature like humans.          -Hydration is essential: Fresh, clean water is non-negotiable. Cold water helps cool pigs internally, but it must be paired with external cooling methods.          -Cooling methods: Reliable shade (not just patches that move with the sun)/ Mud wallows (cooling and protective against sunburn and bugs) / Kiddie pools (kept clean and refilled) / Fans, especially in humid climates where water evaporation isn't effective.          -Water Bowl Solutions: Heavy-duty rubber or concrete bowls / Fence-mounted or anchored buckets / Automatic livestock waterers / Frozen water bottles or ice blocks to keep water cooler longer.           Warning Signs of Heat Stress or Dehydration: Panting (an emergency sign), Lethargy, confusion, or staggering/ Hot skin, especially behind ears / Refusal to eat or drink / Vomiting or diarrhea.            Emergency Actions: Move the pig to a shaded, cool area / offer cold water, and cool them gradually with a damp cloth—not ice-cold water / Contact a vet immediately if symptoms are present.           Quick Checklist: Always offer cool, clean water / Refresh water at least 3x/day /  Ensure shade and/or cooling areas /  Use fans in humid environments / Check on pigs frequently / Have backup water in case of outages!          Summer heat can be deadly for pigs if not properly managed. Proactive hydration and cooling strategies are key to keeping them healthy and safe!

This isn't just a rebranding message — it's a strategic shift toward unified, proactive, and AI-enabled customer experiences.

IT support is changing fast, and the old service desk model is starting to feel like a relic from another era. In this episode, I spoke with Samuele Gantner, Chief Product Officer at Nexthink, about what comes next and what companies need to do now to prepare for it. With Nexthink sitting at the forefront of Digital Employee Experience (DEX) technology, Samuele offers a grounded, thoughtful look at what a "ticketless" future might look like. One of the boldest predictions shared is a 90 percent reduction in IT support tickets by 2027. That is not marketing spin. It's a vision rooted in practical shifts toward proactive support, real-time observability, and AI-powered automation. Samuele explains how organizations can move away from reactive models by embracing intelligent agents that solve problems before a ticket is even raised. Instead of asking employees to fix things themselves, IT support is quietly transforming into something far more sophisticated and intuitive. We talked about what drives this change, from millennial and Gen Z expectations to the technological leap enabled by large language models and automation. Samuele breaks down why old attempts at self-service failed and how today's AI agents are finally equipped to handle objective complexity with empathy, scale, and context. He also shares examples that bring this future to life, including a retailer that avoided a costly outage through predictive alerts, a healthcare provider saving millions through experience-driven device refreshes, and an energy firm preventing disaster in a virtual desktop environment. These are not theoretical case studies. They are live proof that DEX is not just buzz. It works. We also explored what skills IT teams need to thrive in this shift. It is not all about tech. Emotional intelligence, cross-functional collaboration, and a proactive mindset are just as important. Whether you're a CIO or a support engineer, there is something here that will challenge how you think about IT's role in the business.  

The tools are there. The support is available. But many officers still don't reach out. In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore why so many first responders are afraid to use their Employee Assistance Program (EAP)—and how to shift the culture of silence around seeking help (Amazon Affiliate).
