From December 4, 2023: Is the Fourth Amendment doing any work anymore? In a forthcoming article entitled “Government Purchases of Private Data,” Matthew Tokson, a professor at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, details how, in recent years, federal and state agencies have begun to purchase location information and other consumer data, as government attorneys have mostly concluded that purchasing data is a valid way to bypass Fourth Amendment restrictions. Lawfare Senior Editor Stephanie Pell sat down with Matthew to discuss this article, where he attempts to bring this constitutional evasion to light. They talked about the two main arguments offered for why the purchase of private data does not violate the Fourth Amendment, his responses to these arguments, and the recommendations he makes to courts, legislators, and government agencies to address the Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns surrounding government purchases of private data.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Anthony & Lyle of ProcurementIQ talk about client collaboration, leveraging data, the growth of procurement & the biggest challenges impacting teams in 2025.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [06.08] Lyle's background and the journey that led him to co-found ProcurementIQ. [09.00] How ProcurementIQ has evolved over the last decade, and where they are now. “We were learning – and so was procurement in its own right. The concept of category intelligence wasn't really a thing in 2013... Back then there was market intelligence so what we really had to learn about was that evolution.” [11.13] Anthony's background, how it sparked a passion for supply chain and why, after years in the industry, he decided to go to school for supply chain. “It's never a bad time to invest in yourself and develop your skillset.” [14.08] The biggest supply chain challenges and disruptions, and the impact they're having on procurement practitioners and their ability to plan ahead and do their jobs effectively. “It's creating a ton of uncertainty – which is the bane of our existence in this industry! It's making it much harder to plan and strategize for de-risking supply chains. And the on-off again approach to tariffs makes it even more difficult, because the calculus is constantly changing.” [16.09] Creating effective feedback loops between vendors and clients, the importance of listening, and the true story of how ProcurementIQ leveraged client feedback and collaboration to create their upgraded product suite. “We've been through a digital transformation to help our clients better navigate the complex environment they live in... Change is constant, whether it's priorities, cost savings, consolidation, risk mitigation, supplier diversity – clients are ultimately leaning on us to help them better understand, from an external market standpoint, what all of this means.” “It created a very open and honest feedback loop… And it all started with conversation and collaboration.” [22.47] ProcurementIQ's interactive website, how its market dashboard helps clients understand their buying power and leverage insights to improve it, and how benchmark pricing allows clients to engage with the marketplace in a way they haven't been able to do before. [25.58] ProcurementIQ's data and category insights, and how enhanced depth into areas like occupation profiles, external demand determinates and price driver profiles helps clients. “There's additional depth and analysis on price driver profiles to help customers construct better ‘should-cost' models and ask better questions.” [29.17] The ideal client for ProcurementIQ. [30.44] A case study detailing how ProcurementIQ helped a manufacturing client, that were looking to centralize their indirect spend and build category plans that supported stakeholder recommendations and transparency, to shorten their speed to information, boosting stakeholder engagement and supporting the team to increase efficiency. [34.20] The big questions facing the industry in the second half of 2025, and what procurement teams should be focusing on. “The big question, especially with the tariff environment, is: 'Is this going to last for the full term of this administration?' And what the heck is trade policy going to look like?! In the short-term, it's about getting creative with manufacturing capacity… and re-working supply chain networks.” “Procurement leaders are facing challenges retaining, developing and attracting strong talent… There's going to be growth in the procurement profession, so leaders and individuals need to think about what they're doing to set themselves up for success, not only for what we're facing now but what we're anticipating in the future.” [38.47] How to take advantage of ProcurementIQ's special deal for Let's Talk Supply Chain listeners.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to ProcurementIQ's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Focusing on contractual guarantees What annuities solve for  Common annuity pitch traps    Key Takeaways:  Avoid non-guaranteed hypotheticals and focus on contractual guarantees when considering annuities. Buy annuities for specific needs like principal protection, income, long-term care, or legacy, not for market returns. Be wary of urgency sales pitches, steak dinner seminars, advisors behaving like friends, backdated performance illustrations, promised market participation with no downside, upfront bonuses, and showing other clients' accounts as proof of returns.    "Do not fall for market upside but no downside. Do not fall for market participation with principal protection. All those yummy sales pitches that look like they should go on a t-shirt. Do not fall for that. Do not fall for the upfront bonus." —  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!

Then we pivot to the Louisville housing market for an insightful update on inventory trends. Next, we dive into a Broke Agent Media article claiming that more Americans are delaying or cancelling major purchases due to the economic ripple effects of rising tariffs. We also explore a major shift in the real estate industry: what happens as a wave of older agents retires, and how it could impact the business of working realtors. Finally, we lighten things up (sort of) by answering the internet's viral debate: Could 100 men defeat a gorilla in a fight? Our answers might surprise you.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1030: Today we're talking about the real hurdles to moving auto production stateside, catching up with Carlos Ghosn's new life as a leadership coach (and fugitive), and Amazon's surprising new experiment that lets shoppers stray beyond its walls.Show Notes with links:A quarter of U.S. automotive assembly capacity sat unused at the end of 2024, suggesting opportunity amid the backdrop of President Trump's tariffs. However, shifting production to underutilized plants is far more complicated than it sounds.Toyota, BMW, and Honda used over 80% of their U.S. production capacity, leaving little room for more output.Automakers like Stellantis, GM, Ford, and Nissan have more idle capacity but face logistical and investment hurdles.Stellantis' Warren Truck Plant has just 17% utilization but can't quickly absorb new models without major investment, despite being able to build related pickups and SUVs.Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant could theoretically take on new models like the Mustang Mach-E, but even the fastest transition would still take six months to a year to execute.Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions said: "The rhetoric that moving assembly of vehicles into open spaces is easy and quick is not accurate."Five years after his dramatic escape from Japan, former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn is living a quieter life in Lebanon — but remains an international fugitive still shadowed by legal battles.Ghosn lives in a disputed $20M mansion, running executive bootcamps for midlevel managers at a Lebanese university.Despite legal threats from France and Japan, Lebanon's refusal to extradite its citizens keeps him out of reach.He still denies all accusations, blaming Nissan insiders for orchestrating his downfall to block a deeper Renault-Nissan alliance.Ghosn remains bullish on globalization, calling recent tariff tensions “a joke” against broader interconnected trends.He criticized the post-split struggles of Nissan and Renault: “Nissan is begging for some financial help, and Renault is back to what it was before 1999 — a small European company.”In a surprising pivot from its traditional walled-garden strategy, Amazon is testing a program that lets customers shop directly from third-party brand websites — without leaving its app.Shoppers can either be redirected to brand sites or complete purchases through Amazon's “Buy for Me” checkout feature.Amazon handles payment transfer securely, while shipping, returns, and customer service stay with the brand.The move allows Amazon to collect deeper shopper data, enhancing ad targeting and product recommendations.Industry experts suggest Amazon is trading short-term sales for long-term insights and stronger ad business.Jason Goldberg of Publicis said: “The bigger share of a custoJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Your buyers make 70% of their purchasing decision based on your ability to solve their top two problems, okay? For me, it was start date and finish date in contracting. Why start date? Well, any of you commercial real estate owners know that you get paid on progressive payments.So the day I show up and my materials show up on the site and I put my shovel in the ground for the very first time, you can get to go to the bank and you get a check. So the start date was really important to my commercial clients. Not so much my residential, they didn't care when I started as long as I was done on time.  But the finish date was important to everybody. Certificate of occupancy, we can have the wedding in the backyard, you name it. So I knew those two were the most important. No contractor-driven change orders, yeah, that was important, but that wasn't the end of the world, all right? My guarantee, you know, the standing behind the craftsmanship, again, good, good to have, but those top two were the ones that I focused on. What are the top two in your industry? Circle the top two. Those are the ones you're gonna talk about all the time because 70% of the decision-making  revolves around those two problems Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

If you've ever made a quick purchase that didn't quite align with your financial goals, you're not alone. It happens to the best of us! In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., tackles the challenge of impulse spending as an entrepreneur with a practical approach that's meant to empower you, not make you feel guilty.  Whether you're a free spender, saver, perfectionist, or balance seeker, this episode is filled with strategies you can use to stay in control of your money, help curb those impulse purchases, and make smarter financial decisions that align with your goals, personality, and core values.  Key Takeaways:  Know Your Money Personality: Understanding whether you're a Free Spender, Saver, Perfectionist, or Balance Seeker can help you become more mindful of your financial habits and tailor your strategies accordingly. Step 1 - Budgeting as a Planning Tool: A budget isn't about restriction, it's your business's roadmap. Setting aside time to plan expenses helps you make smarter, more intentional decisions. Step 2 - Use the 48-Hour Rule: Delaying purchases by just two days can dramatically reduce impulse spending and give you space to assess alignment with your budget and goals. Step 3 - Don't Decide Based on Price Alone: The cheapest option isn't always the best fit. Consider alignment with your values, quality of service, and long-term ROI when choosing vendors. Step 4 - Review Existing Vendors First: Before jumping ship, explore whether your current tools or service providers can meet your evolving needs. Feedback and a simple conversation could reveal untapped value. Step 5 - Plan for Impulse Spending: Set aside an “allowance” in your budget for unplanned yet exciting opportunities. This helps you stay flexible without blowing up your financial goals. Step 6 - Avoid Last-Minute Decisions: Waiting until the final hour leads to rushed (and usually regrettable) choices. Plan ahead for renewals, tax time, and big expenses. Step 7 - Review Financials Monthly: Regularly reviewing your KSA Snapshot and financials keeps you grounded in reality, reveals patterns, and helps you make better decisions month over month. Bonus - Involve Your Money Team: Share your goals with your financial team so they can hold you accountable, offer insights, and help course-correct when needed.

Zuru Toys co-founder Nick Mowbray speaks on the impacts of United States tariffs on China. He said businesses were “in a holding pattern” as they grappled with the uncertainty of changeable policy. US President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on April 2. Kiwi billionaire Nick Mowbray says “it's hard to say we're not worried” about US President Donald Trump's tariffs and his administration's “chaotic” policy decisions. “We'll ship about $2 billion worth of goods to the US this year. So, at that run rate, that makes our tariffs worth about $3 billion at the moment.” Speaking from Los Angeles this morning (New Zealand time), the toy mogul said it was difficult to read the mood on the ground there. New Zealand businessman Nick Mowbray could not say he wasn't worried about the impact of tariffs. Photo / Alex Burton The co-founder of Zuru Toys told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast it was impossible to plan around the tariffs. He also said it would be “obviously impossible” to shift manufacturing of his products from China to the United States to skirt the 145% tariff rate. His business, along with retailers, were “in a holding pattern”. “It's hard to say we're not worried. Everything seems to change each day. We're in a state of stopping everything at the moment because it's impossible to plan,” said Mowbray. “We're all hoping it doesn't continue for very long, but the [US] administration is definitely very chaotic.” He believed it was possible the tariffs would ultimately be negotiated down. Trump announced huge tariffs on different countries on April 2. In a whiplash change of tune a week later, he said all targeted countries but China would face a 10% rate for 90 days. Photo /The New York Times The $3b worth of tariffs his company would have to pay would be passed on to consumers in significant price increases. Mowbray said he was in the US, at his office, trying to work through the impact of the tariffs. The US has become Zuru's main export market, supplying the likes of Walmart, Target, Costco and Amazon. An escalating trade war ensued after the US imposed tariffs on China, seeing Beijing put in a retaliatory 125% rate on US imports. Trump announced huge tariffs on different countries on April 2. In a whiplash change of tune a week later, he said all targeted countries but China would face a 10% rate for 90 days. The trade war has created fears of an economic downturn as the dollar drops and investors part with US government bonds, normally considered a safe investment, Agence France-Presse reported. The impact on New Zealand remains uncertain. Kiwibank economists have outlined three possible scenarios for the country: Quick negotiations of tariff deals and little relative economic damage, longer dealmaking and prolonged economic insecurity, and the least likely scenario, recession.

Efforts to keep junk foods from being paid for by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, are increasing at the federal and state level. Lawmakers proposing such bills say they want to encourage healthy habits, but some food advocates say the restrictions would have harmful effects.

A growing effort to eliminate “junk food” from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program has some access advocates worried about a restriction's impact on recipients. Harvest Public Media's Anna Pope examines the push -- and the possible problems.

In today's deep dive, we'll learn about proposed bills introduced this year in Congress that seek to restrict what SNAP recipients can buy.

This episode Tyler gives us a recap of the North East Sports Card Expo in Quincy Ma, We discuss new service between eBay & PSA buying cards on eBay and sending straight to PSA for grading, We answer lots of great listener questions. SCL HC S6E23

The evidence against Bryan Kohberger has steadily mounted since his arrest, and the recent revelation of a Dick's Sporting Goods receipt adds another layer of scrutiny to the case. Investigators have already linked Kohberger to the crime scene through DNA evidence found on a knife sheath, cell phone data showing his movements near the victims' house, and surveillance footage of his white Hyundai Elantra near the crime scene. Now, with records showing he purchased a black balaclava nearly a year before the murders, prosecutors may argue that this adds to a pattern of premeditation. A surviving roommate described seeing a masked intruder in the home on the night of the murders, and while a balaclava itself is not inherently suspicious, when paired with the other circumstantial evidence, it strengthens the case against Kohberger.Beyond the balaclava, Kohberger's past purchases are also under scrutiny. Reports indicate he bought a combat knife, a sheath, and a sharpener months before the attack. While none of these items alone prove guilt, together, they paint a picture of someone acquiring tools that could have been used in the crime. The defense will likely argue that these are common items, and the receipt doesn't prove intent. However, the prosecution will likely use this mounting digital and physical evidence to demonstrate that Kohberger had not only the means but also a clear pattern of behavior that suggests planning. With each new detail, the case against Kohberger tightens, making it increasingly difficult for the defense to argue reasonable doubt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger's purchase at Dick's Sporting Goods offers bombshell evidence in case of murdered Idaho students | Daily Mail Online

Bobby shares why he is nervous to reunite with his former boy band, O-Town tonight at the Ryman for the annual Million Dollar Show. We all bring in things we bought online recently and go around the room and rate them inside of "Rate Our Purchase". Amy was inspired by this post: 'Kids these days need to understand that before cell phones we had to call landlines and our friend’s parents would answer and WE HAD TO TALK TO THEIR PARENTS until our friend came to the phone.’ We all share things that make us miss the way things used to be. We share what ONE tv show we would watch for the rest of our lives if we could only pick one.
