Sind steigende Löhne wirklich ein Gewinn für alle? Die Befürworter des Mindestlohns und seiner weiteren Steigerung verweisen auf den bisherigen Erfolg des Instruments. Und in der Tat hatte der deutliche Anstieg des Mindestlohnes seit seiner Einführung 2015 von 8,50 Euro je Stunde auf heute 12,82 Euro keinen messbaren negativen Effekt auf die Beschäftigung. Trotz einer durchschnittlichen Lohnsteigerung von 5 Prozent pro Jahr, die nach Inflation zu real rund 15 Prozent höheren Mindestlöhnen geführt hat. In den kommenden zwei Jahren soll der Mindestlohn um weitere 14 Prozent bis auf 14,60 Euro (2027) steigen. Die Optimisten erwarten auch künftig keine negative Beschäftigungswirkung, schließlich sei es doch nur gerechtfertigt, dass man von seinem Einkommen leben können muss. Wer könnte da schon widersprechen? Nur ist die Zeit der progressiven Entwicklung des Mindestlohns eine besonders gute Phase in der deutschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte gewesen. Daraus zu schließen, man könne einfach so weitermachen wie bisher, könnte sich als naiv erweisen.Besonders spannend: Daniel Stelters Gespräch mit Dr. Effrosyni (Efi) Adamopoulou, stellvertretende Leiterin des Forschungsbereichs „Ungleichheit und Verteilungspolitik“ am ZEW Mannheim. Sie erklärt, wie Mindestlöhne innerhalb von Unternehmen wirken, warum sie Produktivitätsschocks ungleich verteilen und weshalb Kurzarbeit eine bessere Antwort auf Krisen sein kann als Entlassungen.

The summer holidays are getting closer, meaning more Kiwis will be leaving their offices for breaks - but research shows they might not fully disconnect. New research shows fewer than half of New Zealand workers are fully disconnecting from the job when they're on holiday, putting them at risk of burnout. Massey University professor of management Dr Jarrod Haar says it's better for workers to make the most of their time off. "It is indicative, I think, of our modern day working society that it is just so easy to check your work emails on your smartphone, even down on the beach...and that has repercussions for our wellbeing."

It's one of the most valuable things we have—and one of the easiest to waste. We've all heard the saying, “Time is money.” But if that's true, why do we spend it so carelessly? The truth is, time is worth far more than dollars and cents—it's the most limited resource God has given us. Learning to steward it well isn't just good productivity advice—it's an act of worship.If you've ever said, “I just need a little more time,” you're not alone. Many of us feel the pressure of time slipping through our fingers. Ironically, we often spend our days chasing money, status, or success—only to run out of the very thing we were trying to “buy back.”We treat time like a renewable resource when it's really more like a savings account that's constantly being drawn down. Every hour that passes is one you'll never get back. Yet our culture tempts us to equate our worth with how much we earn or produce.A Biblical View of TimeScripture offers a radically different view. In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” He's not talking about counting hours on a clock but realizing that our time is limited—and therefore deeply valuable.From a biblical perspective, time isn't ours to manage however we wish. It's a gift from God, entrusted to us for His purposes. Just as money and talents belong to Him, so does our time.In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul writes, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” The original Greek phrase for “making the best use” literally means “redeeming the time”—buying it back for God's glory. It's the same word Paul uses elsewhere to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross.Christ redeemed us from sin and emptiness, giving our lives eternal meaning. In the same way, we're called to redeem our time—to invest every moment, conversation, and decision in what will last forever.Here's the catch: if you don't decide what your time is worth, someone else will. Your job, your phone, your inbox, even social media—all have plans for your time. Unless you set boundaries, your days will fill up with things that seem urgent but aren't truly important.Jesus modeled something completely different. Even with the most important mission in history, He took time to rest, pray, eat with friends, and be fully present with people. He had the margin to be interrupted—to stop for the sick, listen to the hurting, and teach those who were searching. He never rushed, yet He always fulfilled the Father's will.How to Steward Your Time WellSo how can we live as if our time truly belongs to God?1. Reevaluate Your PrioritiesEvery decision is a trade. When you say yes to one thing, you say no to something else. Ask yourself, “What matters most in God's eyes—and am I giving that my best time?”2. Measure Time by Meaning, Not MoneyOur culture values time by dollars per hour, but God's economy works differently. A quiet afternoon encouraging a friend may not pay in cash—but it yields eternal dividends. As Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”3. Build Margin into Your LifeJust as financial margin creates freedom to give, time margin allows you to live generously. When you're not overscheduled, you can pause to listen, serve, or rest. Sabbath isn't wasted time—it's holy time that reminds us that God is in control.4. Steward Small MomentsEternal impact isn't found only in big events. It's in the five minutes you pray for someone, the ten minutes you spend in Scripture, or the conversation that points someone to Jesus. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”Making Your Hours Count for EternityWhen you see your time through an eternal lens, every moment takes on new meaning. You stop chasing the clock and start cherishing what truly matters. Missionary C.T. Studd once wrote, “Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.”So what's your time really worth? It's worth exactly what you invest in eternity.Don't just count your hours—make your hours count. Live intentionally. Rest purposefully. Serve generously. And let every day remind you of the One who holds all time in His hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have two kids—a 14-year-old and a newborn—and just opened brokerage accounts for them.

What if you could stop running on empty—and still perform at your best? That's the question Erin Coupe, author of "I Can Fit That In" (and host of a podcast by the same name), invites leaders to ask. She challenges the old "time management" mindset that rewards burnout and box-checking, replacing it with a human-centered strategy of presence, choice, and renewal. Her message? Productivity doesn't come from cramming more into your day—it comes from creating rituals that restore you. Erin works with executives and teams to help them shift from survival mode to sustainable performance. Through keynotes, workshops, and cohort-based learning, she guides people to design their own energizing rituals—intentional practices that bring clarity, calm, and connection. It's not about doing more. It's about aligning what you do with what truly matters. Her approach transforms corporate cultures. Teams that once ran on autopilot begin building trust, transparency, and shared language. Leaders rediscover focus and resilience. And when people take these lessons home—teaching them to spouses, partners, and even kids—the impact multiplies. As Peter Winick explores in this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Erin's work goes beyond productivity hacks or quick fixes. It's about conscious leadership. Healthy boundaries. Self-respect. And recognizing that how we show up—at work and at home—is a choice. Tune in to hear how organizations are embracing her frameworks to create more intentional, energized, and emotionally intelligent workplaces—one ritual at a time. Three Key Takeaways: • Rituals energize, routines drain. Intentional rituals create meaning and renewal, while rigid routines often lead to burnout. • Mindset drives performance. Shifting from overcommitment to presence and self-respect builds clarity and sustainable success. • Culture grows through connection. Shared rituals and language strengthen trust, resilience, and emotional intelligence within teams. Loved Erin Coupe's insights on transforming burnout into clarity through intentional rituals? Then don't miss our conversation with Dre Baldwin on Think Big, Act Bigger. Both episodes explore how mindset shapes sustainable performance—Erin focuses on the inner rituals that ground us, while Dre breaks down the mental systems that drive consistent action. Together, they form a one-two punch for leaders who want to perform at a high level without losing themselves in the process.

The Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has been widely trailing this month's budget and the difficult decisions she'll have to make in just under two weeks time. This is being taken as code for tax rises and a possible break in Labour's manifesto pledge with a rise in income tax. She's said one of the key reasons for this is that the government's official forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility or OBR, is likely to lower its UK productivity growth forecast for the coming years. So why is UK productivity a problem and what can be done to improve it?

The problem isn't that you're bad at time management or that you need to try harder. The problem is that daily planning keeps you trapped in a constant state of reaction, scrambling to put out fires and crossing off urgent tasks while your longer-term goals collect dust. And when life throws you a curveball (because it will), everything falls apart.When you're a working mom, disruptions don't just steal an hour. The school calls at 10 AM with a sick kid? That's your entire afternoon gone. There's no space in a daily plan to absorb that kind of pivot without staying up until midnight trying to catch up. The good news? There's a better way to plan that actually works for the realities of your life. And once you understand why daily planning is mathematically designed to fail you, everything is going to click into place.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why daily planning traps working moms in constant reaction modeThe math problem that makes daily planning impossible for caregiversWhat happens when disruptions steal hours, not minutes, from your dayWhy you always feel behind (and why it's not your fault)The planning shift that finally gives you space to breathe and pivot________________________________

In this episode, I share my top five lessons for mom entrepreneurs managing a flexible schedule. I talk about how I've overcome guilt for enjoying midday freedom—reminding myself and my fellow working moms that this flexibility is a strength we've created, not a luxury. I explain how I define what “done” looks like by setting clear goals and calendar blocking, which helps me avoid overwhelm and improve my productivity. I discuss the boundaries I set to honor my off-hours, boosting both my work and family life. I also share how I reduce decision fatigue with planned routines and themed family dinners, making daily life with a business smoother. Finally, I reveal how pre-planning and batching household tasks keeps me focused as a business owner and mom. These productivity tips help me—and hopefully you—find balance, thrive in entrepreneurship, and enjoy more time with your family.  Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

The first nine months of 2025 were a whiplash. Since the April drawdown, stocks, bonds, and international all ripped higher while inflation cooled unevenly and the Fed started cutting.

SummaryIn this conversation, Danielle Strickland and Betty Dickinson explore the themes of spiritual flourishing, the importance of embodied encounters, and the need to dethrone the powers of industrialization in our spiritual lives.
