Today I'm joined by April Davis, founder of LUMA Luxury Matchmaking—and yes, she's married to a divorce attorney, which gives her a razor-sharp lens on what actually lasts. We dig into modern dating beyond the apps: values vs. chemistry, paradox of choice, readiness, standards, gender roles, and commitment—so real love stops feeling impossible and starts feeling inevitable. 3 Main Takeaways Values beat vibes. Chemistry fades; aligned values keep relationships stable long-term. Choice overload kills connection. The app era fuels paradox of choice and "dating for dismissal." Narrow on what actually matters. Readiness > checklist. Openness, fair conflict, and commitment predict lasting love more than "perfect" specs.     Deep Dive — 3 Core Topics 1) Values Over Chemistry (02:24–03:31) Timestamp: 02:24 What it means: Prioritizing values (character, life goals, family, faith, kids) prevents future mismatch that chemistry can hide. This shifts selection from short-term spark to long-term fit—dramatically reducing avoidable breakups. Notable quote (02:24): "Values are something that is core to who you are… you can't see red flags with rose-colored goggles." Why it matters: When values align, everyday decisions, conflict resolution, money, and parenting stay coherent—creating durability instead of turbulence. 2) Apps, Standards & the Paradox of Choice (11:27–12:20; 04:20–05:24) Timestamp: 11:27 What it means: Infinite swiping feeds a paradox of choice and "dating for dismissal," where attention moves to filtering out instead of letting something good unfold. Over-filtering (height, income, micro-preferences) trades possibility for illusion. Notable quotes: (11:27) "With apps, you have this paradox of choice… 50 shades of gray… dating for dismissal." (04:20–05:24) "Apps are only good for about 10%… someone swiped 2,000 times to get one date." Why it matters: Reducing noise (3–5 non-negotiable values) turns attention from shopping to connecting, improving follow-through, first-date quality, and momentum. 3) Readiness, Gender Expectations & Real Commitment (17:56–19:56; 29:38–30:34; 15:37–17:34) Timestamp: 17:56 What it means: A long checklist often masks fear; readiness looks like an open heart, flexible standards, and willingness to be coached. Add fair fighting and commitment to the relationship "third entity," and longevity rises. Modern gender roles (wanting alpha drive plus deep emotional attunement) can become an impossible ideal—so clarity beats fantasy. Notable quotes: (17:56) "Either they have a loving mindset and an open heart… or they're closed off… and not really ready." (29:38–30:34) "How you argue… fight fair… commitment to the relationship." (15:37–17:34) On shifting gender expectations and the "perfect person" myth. Why it matters: Readiness turns dates into data, conflict into collaboration, and differences into design choices—key levers for resilient partnership.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown. In other news, almost a month after a theft caused the historic Freedman's Cemetery in Dallas to implement a curfew, Dallas police have arrested a man accused of taking eight bronze plaques from the cemetery. Fifty-one year old Troy Springer was arrested on Oct. 23 after investigators accused him of stealing the cemetery markers; almost 3 million Texans cast ballots in Tuesday's constitutional amendment election, which would be the most votes cast in an odd-number year election in recent history; and Quinnen Williams, a talented defensive tackle that the Cowboys acquired in a trade with the New York Jets this week, is happy to be in Dallas.

In this episode, Ash sits down with Nick Hinshaw from WinStar Insurance Group to discuss how insurance can play a critical role in reducing stress for dental practice owners and their teams. The conversation covers essential insurance policies beyond the mandatory requirements, like disability insurance and group benefit plans, which can offer peace of mind to both owners and staff. Nick explains how regularly reviewing disability policies ensures coverage matches the evolving needs of practice owners, helping prevent unwanted surprises if a disability occurs.They highlight the importance of offering group benefit plans—such as health, dental, vision, and disability insurance—to retain employees and build a supportive practice culture. With turnover rates high in dentistry, especially in urban environments, providing comprehensive benefits can make a practice competitive and foster loyalty among team members. Ash and Nick also touch on insurance requirements for equipment purchases and warn against forced-place insurance imposed by lenders, which is often expensive and limited.

This week, Monika sits down with India's Chief Economic Adviser, Dr V. Anantha Nageswaran, for a wide-ranging conversation on governance, regulation, and the challenges of doing business in India. He explains why India must “reduce the cost of being honest,” arguing that excessive compliance and inspection norms often force even well-intentioned businesses into shortcuts. The government, he says, is consciously working to dismantle this structure through deregulation and technology-driven transparency, making it easier for citizens and firms to operate without corruption.Monika highlights the CEA's strong stance on financial mis-selling — a problem the Economic Survey 2023–24 identified as widespread in banks and insurance firms. He supports a shift toward a “seller-beware” model for retail financial products, recognising that complex instruments demand stricter accountability from sellers rather than relying on the old “buyer-beware” principle. With the Ministry of Finance and RBI preparing new rules to curb such malpractice, these changes could finally bring relief to customers misled by inappropriate product sales at bank branches.In listener questions, Ravi asks about why investments made through the RBI Retail Direct platform do not appear in NSDL-CAS statements, Rohit seeks guidance on refining his investment portfolio after returning to India from the US, and an anonymous listener from a PSU bank writes in about NPS allocation, consolidating his mother's portfolio, and whether to consider investing in SIFs.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Reducing the cost of being honest(00:00 – 00:00) Why the CEA wants banks to stop mis-selling(00:00 – 00:00) Understanding RBI Retail Direct and NSDL-CAS(00:00 – 00:00) Setting up your financial foundation after returning to India(00:00 – 00:00) Managing family portfolios and exploring new productshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAEGbvZ-3Ps&t=3516sIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠

AP corresponden Ed Donahue reports going to the airport could soon get even more stressful.

Trump brings Gaza war crimes home to US autistics.Using starvation to subjugate people is a war crime, whether at the point of a gun or denying SNAP benefits.November 1st, SNAP halted. Healthcare funding threatened. Social Security could vanish, Trump warns. 42 million Americans face losing food assistance. Not someday—right now.A nation that uses starvation on its own civilians? I'm no lawyer, but I'd argue that's tantamount to war on its own people. Any day of the week. And I consider it a crime in its own right, even if courts reserve “war crime” for armed conflict.I can hear it already: “You're being dramatic. That's hyperbolic. You can't compare domestic policy to Gaza.”Watch me.Medieval siege techniques. Surround them and starve them out. Whether it's Gaza or Indiana.What's Actually Happening?The Trump administration threatens benefits we count on to exist as political leverage during government shutdown negotiations. Support promised to the American public for decades, transformed into weapons to get what Trump wants.Here's what international law says about that. The Rome Statute explicitly classifies starvation of civilians as a war crime, a crime against humanity. Around the world, deliberately depriving people of food for political gain—that's defined as genocide.These aren't my words, they're international law.Gaza starvation: internationally recognized war crime.SNAP weaponization: They can call it an unfortunate policy choice, but it's the same tactic, just a different population. Location doesn't change that. Denying food to gain power simply is withholding food, withholding life for power. They're not negotiating. They're holding a gun to our heads.Why Autistics First?Numbers tell you everything you need to know. Autistics face an 85% unemployment rate. So we depend a lot on SNAP—I do. Most of us depend on Medicaid to see our doctors, and many of us are disabled, unable to work. So SSI dependency just to live, it's a high priority.The government knows exactly who gets hit when they pull these levers: autistics, neurodivergents. We're the most vulnerable first. We have the least political power of any minority group, I think.And look at the language they use. “Efficiency.” “Streamlining.” “Reducing dependency.” It's the old Nazi “useless eaters” logic dressed up in techno-bro management appeal. Killing off the weak, dusted off and wrapped in budget terminology. We're the testing ground, that's how it always works. Start with disabled people. Normalize the tactic. See who complains, see if you can get away with it. Then expand to the next group.We're the canaries in the coal mine. We die first. And we're already choking.The Roll Call of History: Every Empire Does ThisWant to know how I know this is a war crime? Because every failing empire does exactly this. Brings colonial violence home. Every. Single. One.France took torture techniques from Algeria, brought them home for Paris riot control. The U.S. militarized policing in the Philippines, deployed in Ferguson. Britain did the exact same thing: tactics used in the Irish colonies, in India, that came home to British workers as labor disputes escalated.This isn't speculation. This is documented history. The Ottoman Empire in its death throes: Armenian genocide, Greek genocide, Assyrian genocide. Ancient Rome. Ancient Egypt. Every single one.The pattern is always the same. It starts with unpopular groups: Jews, immigrants, disabled people, people they call “defective,” “foreign,” “unproductive.” Test on them first, see if anyone notices, see if anyone stops you, then expand.Scholars have a term for this: the “boomerang effect.” Or “internal colonialism”—when you apply colonial logic to your own people. Black radical thinkers saw this first, by the way. They recognized the pattern decades ago.The Gaslighting Ends HereSo when someone says “You're being dramatic”? No. I'm being historically accurate.“That's hyperbolic.” The Rome Statute disagrees. I can read you the details.“You can't compare domestic policy to war.” Every empire in history already done that. They already made that comparison for me.We're not comparing tragedies. “Who's suffering more than who?” We're recognizing tragedy.When policy debates require trigger warnings like this article, like this livestream, maybe it's not policy.When negotiations threaten survival, maybe they're not negotiations.When efficiency means starvation, maybe it's not efficient. It's fucking violence.That need for trigger warnings says it's violence. Not discourse. We're not being fragile. We're being informed. We're watching it happen in real time. Hell, it's obvious in every bowl of beans I eat instead of a hell of heavily tariffed hamburger.What We DoLiving through empire in decline: deadly for many. But here's what we do.We call it as we see it. We refuse sanitized language.When they say “policy,” we call it violence. Because starvation kills as sure as a bullet. Just slower.When they say “negotiate,” we name it hostage taking for the purpose of political power.When they say “efficiency,” we shout starvation tactics.It's medieval siege by budget. No catapults. No cannons. Just clean spreadsheets.We document the pattern. We recognize what's really happening while it's happening. We tell the truth about what we're witnessing. And we survive together.How? Let's talk again soon on meaningful resistance, survival, and mutual aid. I'm nearly ready to share my thoughts next week in my next livestream.The Picture I Want to Leave You WithTrump brings Gaza war crimes home. Not as a metaphor—as a moral diagnosis.Same tactics, similar intent, different location, same fucking outcome.Starvation is starvation. Siege is siege. Death is death. Even if the law reserves “war crimes” for battlefields and guys in uniform.Starting with autistics, starting with disabled people, starting with poor people, starting with anyone who needs to eat and expanding from there. Because that's how it always works.That's not drama, not autistic overreaction. If I ever hear that again—fuck the gaslighting we've lived through all our damn fucking lives.That's international law in definitions. That's documented history in its examples. That's pattern recognition across eras. We're just the ones recognizing it first.ClosingListen, that's all I got really. This episode, it's why I do these livestreams. Why I need this community, you guys.Because when they gaslight us, we need witnesses. We need truth.When they isolate us, we need each other.When they threaten our survival, we need to document what's happening in real time.See you next week around the same time. We'll talk resistance, mutual aid. What actually works when the empire comes home.Till then?Stay weird.Stay fierce.Stay alive.Key Timestamps for Chapter Markers:* 0:00 - Opening Thesis* 1:08 - What's Actually Happening* 2:23 - Why Autistics First* 3:19 - The Roll Call of History* 6:35 - The Gaslighting Ends Here* 7:50 - What We Do#AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

"Everybody wants to heal… until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline." – Hippocrates (400 B.C.) Why is it so hard to do the things we say we want to do? In today's episode, we're digging into one of the biggest struggles so many of us face: discipline. Not just why it's hard—but why it can feel almost impossible in today's world. We're not lazy. We're not broken. We're living in a world designed to hijack our brains through overstimulation and constant dopamine hits—from social media, processed food, streaming content, even the kind of books we read. In this episode, I'll walk you through: Why discipline feels harder than ever (hint: it's not your fault) How dopamine and your brain's salience network make high-stimulation things feel more important than your goals What makes your brain highlight some things (and ignore others) Why real connection, presence, and long-term goals feel boring when you're overstimulated How to retrain your brain so discipline feels easier, not harder This isn't about going off the grid or giving up your phone. It's about making discipline feel possible again—by making life just a little bit quieter.

If you want to increase your savings, don't start with your budget—start with your lifestyle.Your lifestyle isn't about how much you spend.It's about what you prioritize.It's the visible result of invisible decisions—what you say yes to, what you say no to, and what you're building quietly behind the scenes. https://www.youtube.com/live/wZIJnteQW-g Too many people let lifestyle be the engine of their money—chasing comfort, appearances, or upgrades without ever asking: Does this reflect the values I want to pass on?Does this build up my family or just maintain an image? You don't need a bigger house or fancier car.You need a bigger vision.You need a coordinated plan that reflects your values in how you live today—and what you leave behind tomorrow. The quiet thief of financial progress: lifestyle creep. We don't see it coming. It's the subtle shift that happens every time our income rises. We eat out a little more, upgrade our phone, take an extra trip, and before we know it, our expenses grow in lockstep with our income. We think we've moved forward—but our savings tell a different story. And that's why Bruce and I recorded an entire podcast about this topic: how to increase your savings without reducing your lifestyle. Because true wealth isn't about deprivation—it's about design. Why You Can't Save Your Way to Wealth—Without a PlanWhat Is Lifestyle Creep—And Why Is It So Dangerous?Why We Overspend—And How the Mind Tricks UsThe Savings Crisis—And What It Means for YouThe Secret Weapon—Your Wealth Coordination AccountHow to Increase Your Savings Without Reducing Your LifestyleThe Compounding Effect of Intentional SavingWhy Simplicity Beats ComplexityMargin Is the Measure of StewardshipBook A Strategy CallFAQWhat is lifestyle creep?How can I increase my savings without reducing my lifestyle?What is a Wealth Coordination Account?Why is lifestyle creep harmful?What savings rate should I aim for? Why You Can't Save Your Way to Wealth—Without a Plan Most people try to willpower their way to saving more money. They cut lattes, cancel subscriptions, and create color-coded budgets that last about two weeks. But here's the truth: you can't build lasting wealth on discipline alone. You need a system—one that helps you automatically grow your savings while maintaining the lifestyle you love. In this article, Bruce and I will show you: What lifestyle creep really is and why it sabotages your wealth How Parkinson's Law explains your struggle to save The practical tool we use with clients called a Wealth Coordination Account How to rewire your habits to save more—without cutting joy out of your life When you finish this article, you'll see that increasing your savings doesn't mean living smaller. It means living smarter. What Is Lifestyle Creep—And Why Is It So Dangerous? We live in a consumption-driven world. Everywhere we look, there's an ad convincing us we need something new. Apple doesn't ask what we want—they tell us what we didn't know we needed. The next iPhone, the next upgrade, the next experience. That's lifestyle creep. It's the pattern of spending more simply because we earn more. Bruce calls it “the hidden drain on your future.” Because when every new dollar gets consumed by an upgraded lifestyle, none of it turns into wealth. And here's the sneaky part: it doesn't feel reckless. It feels normal. Everyone around us does the same thing. We raise our standard of living instead of our standard of saving—and we end up with more stuff but no margin. Lifestyle creep makes you rich on the outside but broke on the inside. Why We Overspend—And How the Mind Tricks Us Our culture makes spending effortless. Credit cards, one-click shopping, social media retargeting—these are all designed to bypass logic and hit emotion. As I said on the show, “It's the sea we swim in.” Most people don't realize how much marketing is shaping their sense of ...

AI isn't coming — it's already here, and it's flipping the script on how we hire, manage, and work across the globe. In this episode, I sit down with Laura Maffucci, VP of HR at Globalization Partners (G-P), to break down how AI is reshaping everything from recruiting to compliance—and what it really means for people on both sides of the hiring table. We talk about the good, the bad, and the “uh-oh” moments of bringing AI into the workplace. Is it making hiring fairer or just faster? Can we trust it to make big decisions? And what happens when employees start wondering if the robots are coming for their jobs?

One day, Troy Karnes drank too much and missed his wife's birthday dinner (that he had planned). To show her he could change, he put $10k into their joint bank account and told her he wanted to use it for a dream vacation a year later. If he messed up, she could take it. He didn't last a month. She kicked him out of the house that afternoon. When he woke up in a hotel the next day, he watched the sunrise and had no idea where he had slept the night before, where he would be a week from then, or which company he might work for. He worked in the alcohol business his entire career but knew something had to change. It was a pretty hopeless moment.     Troy is a father, husband, recovering alcoholic, and salesman—a cancer survivor, business consultant, and writer.

In this episode of Builders Wanted, we're joined by Anne Marie O'Keefe, Chief Operating Officer of Inc. and Fast Company. Anne Marie discusses her approach to fostering creativity and operational excellence in a rapidly changing media landscape.  The conversation covers the balancing act between legacy and innovation, simplifying systems for better efficiency, and the critical role of listening to customers.-------------------Key Takeaways:Media brands should focus on constantly evolving products, touchpoints, and strategies rather than chasing industry trends or competitors.Reducing complexity in workflows and technology enables organizations to adapt faster and deliver more value.Effective leadership requires adapting management styles to different teams, celebrating small wins, and empowering people to do their best work.-------------------“ Simplification is transformative. I think a lot of times we read these amazing stories in Fast Company about innovators and we think, Oh, they took this really complicated problem and they solved it. And that leads us to believe that we need a lot of complexity in what we do. Stripping that complexity away really lets the team be creative and innovative where it matters most, where they can build something that has impact for the audience.” – Anne Marie O'Keefe-------------------Episode Timestamps:‍*(01:59) - What Anne Marie builds at Inc. and Fast Company ‍*(07:28) - Simplifying operations and driving innovation‍*(21:42) - Balancing editorial integrity and business growth‍*(34:21) - Quick hits-------------------Links:Connect with Anne Marie on LinkedInConnect with Kailey on LinkedInLearn more about Caspian Studios-------------------SponsorBuilders Wanted is brought to you by Twilio – the Customer Engagement Platform that helps builders turn real-time data into meaningful customer experiences.

Cloud costs are high and growing. Some orgs think they're out of control and are trying to limit spend. Some orgs are looking to leave the cloud. A lot of IT spend over the years has been seen as a cost center, with many executives trying to limit the growth or spend, even while they aim for digital transformations of their businesses. Throughout my career, it's been interesting seeing the tension of groups trying to take advantage of technology and the finance departments trying to manage costs. The cloud brings some of the same debates/arguments/concerns to the forefront. Partially because of scale, as we can add cloud resources much quicker than we can with a CapEx purchase. Partially because we've also often lost some control over budgeting with the move to OpEx and subscription things. Read the rest of Reducing Cloud Cost

In this candid conversation recorded live at the NCI Summit in Austin, Bryan Orr sits down with Chad Simpson, owner of Simpson Solutions, for an unexpectedly revealing discussion about the reality of building a successful HVAC business. What makes this episode particularly compelling is Simpson's refreshing honesty about his struggles, failures, and the gradual transformation from a struggling contractor making $8 an hour to running a $28.5 million operation with healthy profit margins. Simpson's journey began unusually early—he wrote a paper in his freshman year of high school (1996) declaring his intention to own an HVAC company. After graduating from trade school and working for a residential replacement contractor, he started his own business with his father, who had just retired from building interstates and bridges. For the first eight years, Simpson made virtually no money despite working 12-hour days, falling into the common trap of thinking he could "outrun" financial problems by simply working harder and hiring more people. The turning point came around 2008 when mentor Brad Hohn discovered Simpson calling receivables on a golf course to make payroll—and offered to help departmentalize his finances with the promise of a Vegas golf trip once Simpson hit 10% net profit. The most striking aspect of Simpson's story is his emphasis on process documentation and his willingness to admit what he didn't know. After finally achieving profitability, he hired a business coach who refused to write processes for him, insisting Simpson had to "own" them himself. This led to the creation of Simpson's now-famous process book, which started with simple one-page job descriptions and grew to encompass every aspect of the business. Simpson's approach to callbacks changed dramatically after 2021, when his company's callback rate hit 23% following rapid growth. Working with Jim Bergmann and implementing Measure Quick transformed his operation from quick-fix service calls to thorough 2.5-3 hour diagnostics that actually prevent future problems rather than creating false urgency. Perhaps most impressive is Simpson's Fast Track training lab, which he built initially just to train his own technicians but has evolved into a resource for competitors, universities, and the entire industry. His philosophy centers on finding real problems through proper diagnostics rather than making up issues or pushing unnecessary replacements. Simpson emphasizes that service technicians should educate, not sell—and that when you deploy the right tools and probes, you'll find plenty of legitimate problems without resorting to dishonest tactics. Today, Simpson's company maintains a 2% service callback rate and 3% install callback rate while continuing to grow and expand into plumbing services.

Episode 80: Lucky By Design – Show NotesIs luck really just random, or can we engineer it? In this episode, we explore how “luck” is often the result of preparation, pattern recognition, and a deep understanding of hidden systems that shape opportunity. Drawing from the unlikely success story of Gary Dahl's Pet Rock and the groundbreaking research of Wharton economist Judd Kessler and his new book Lucky By Design, we dig into the ways luck is built, not found.Judd Kessler introduces his framework of “hidden markets,” where things like tickets, jobs, and creative opportunities aren't always allocated by price or obvious mechanisms. Instead, they're shaped by invisible rules that govern access and advantage. We discuss the “three E's”—efficiency, equity, and ease—as the building blocks of these markets, and examine real strategies to decode the signals and systems at play.Along the way, we unpack how showing up prepared, making it easy for others to work with us, and understanding the actual rules of the game can help leaders and creative professionals tilt the odds in their favor. We also take on the coming wave of AI-driven speed and automation, and ask what it means for authentic signaling in a world where bots are getting faster and smarter.Five Key Learnings from the Episode:Luck favors the prepared. What looks like serendipity is often the outgrowth of discipline, awareness, and the willingness to build a “door” for opportunity to knock on.Hidden markets have hidden rules. Whether it's a ticket lottery or landing a client, outcomes are shaped by underlying systems—not just price or “fairness.” Learn the rules, and you can play the game more strategically.The three E's—Efficiency, Equity, and Ease—are metrics for opportunity. Whether trying to get noticed, land a deal, or hire the right people, balancing these three helps you become the option others choose.Reducing friction creates value. In creative and business relationships, being easy to work with and removing obstacles can be a more powerful signal than raw talent alone.Signals matter more than ever in the age of AI. As automation makes it cheap and easy to fake enthusiasm or speed, genuine signals—like real relationships and proven follow-through—become even more vital.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!
