Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump Hits Brazil With 50% Tariff In a fiery escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports starting August 1. The move follows a diplomatic spat with Brazil's President Lula da Silva, who called Trump an “unwanted emperor.” Trump fired back with a sharply worded letter defending ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, calling his trial “a witch hunt” and accusing Brazil of censorship and unfair trade. “Brazil has treated Bolsonaro disgracefully,” Trump wrote, adding that the tariffs are just the beginning. A Section 301 investigation into Brazil's digital trade practices is also underway. Trump hinted at possible revisions if Brazil reforms, but warned of further hikes otherwise. #USBrazilTensions #TrumpTariffs #Geopolitics #JairBolsonaro #TradeWar Trump Threatens 200% Pharma Tariff, India Alarmed Trump is now eyeing a 200% tariff on pharmaceutical imports, a move that could hit India's $30 billion pharma exports hard. The threat follows a Section 232 probe launched in April into whether pharma imports pose a national security risk. The U.S. accounts for 31% of Indian pharma exports and sources nearly 40% of its generics from India. Indian manufacturers warn this could worsen drug shortages in the U.S. and disrupt patient care. “Adding tariffs will hurt patients and delay our investments in the U.S.,” said Kathleen Jaeger of the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance. The final decision is expected soon, and Indian pharma companies are already weighing exit strategies. #PharmaTariffs #IndianPharma #GenericDrugs #TrumpTrade #DrugShortage New US Visa Fee Raises Travel Costs Planning a U.S. trip? Brace for a higher bill. Under Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a new $250 Visa Integrity Fee is in effect for most non-immigrant visas including B1/B2 (tourist/business), F and M (student), H-1B (work), and J (exchange). The fee, described as a refundable “good behavior bond”, is meant to enforce compliance with visa terms—no overstaying or unauthorized work. Starting in 2026, the fee will rise annually with inflation. For Indian travelers, it means the cost of a U.S. tourist visa jumps from $185 to $472 (~₹40,500). Refunds are rare and only apply to those who strictly follow the rules. #USVisaFee #ImmigrationPolicy #H1B #TravelCosts #VisaNews Vedanta Under Fire: “Ponzi Scheme” Allegation Viceroy Research, the short-seller that exposed Wirecard, is now targeting Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Resources. In a damning report, Viceroy labeled the Indian conglomerate a “Ponzi scheme,” citing mismanagement and unsustainable debt. Vedanta has denied the charges, calling them “malicious and baseless.” But co-founder Fraser Perring warned more reports are coming. Viceroy, known for its multi-report takedowns, has a track record of triggering steep stock declines—80% of its targets have suffered. Perring also disclosed that he and his team shorted Vedanta bonds in April. With more revelations likely, investor anxiety is growing. #Vedanta #ViceroyResearch #ShortSelling #FraserPerring #MarketWatch India Scrambles After China Cuts Fertiliser Exports Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has warned of the risks of overdependence on China for fertiliser supplies, following Beijing's export curbs on Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP)—India's second-most used fertiliser. India imported over 2.5 million tonnes of DAP in FY25, much of it from China. The restrictions have spiked global prices and sparked fears of shortages during the kharif sowing season. Goyal called for diversified sourcing, domestic production boosts, and long-term mineral partnerships. He also projected India's agri-exports could grow from ₹4.5 trillion to ₹20 trillion with better processing and branding. But the short-term focus remains: ensuring farmers have what they need to plant. #FertiliserCrisis #ChinaCurbs #PiyushGoyal #AgriExports #DAPShortage Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever had someone demand a refund out of the blue? Or had a client just… stop paying? This week on Chill & Prosper, we're diving into the messy middle of running a business—those awkward money convos we all face eventually. I'm answering questions about refunds, payment defaults, and how to protect your boundaries without losing your mind (or your income).

Do you have items that you've purchased that you really need to return to store? You changed your mind, the item doesn't fit, you purchased too many, or simply the wrong colour!? And be honest, how long have you been procrastinating returning those items? I see it all the time - clients have clothes, toys, household items that they've bought (usually online) and they need to return them for whatever reason, but instead of doing the admin of the return, they sit in boxes and bags in our loungerooms, spare rooms and studies.I've recently experienced this with left over supplies from our renovation. We finished the reno and then I gathered all the things that we had over purchased, or not needed ready to return. But it's such a hard task to get excited about. you've got to find the receipt, put everything back in the car, then when you get to the shop you have to get everything out, explain etc and go through the process.But... please hear me - IT'S WORTH IT!!Your returns and refunds are a tab open in your brain, the stuff you're waiting to return is clutter in your house.ACCC Warranties and Refunds Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

NBC Sports NBA writer Kurt Helin Good, Bad & Ugly Whole World News
NFL responds to Chiefs bias.
Today we look at an old and very true saying: It's not about the money you make, but about the money you KEEP. There's an old joke about a guy who loses money on every sale, but, he says, “I make it up in volume.” We're not talking about back ends or affiliate sales here. Things can go sideways in your business if you're not making enough sales, or your profit margins are too small. Or upside down, like the guy in the joke. But you've got an even a bigger problem even if you're making enough sales and your margins are good—but the sales don't stick. When people decide they don't want what they bought, you've got tons or refunds. Maybe even chargebacks. So here's the thing we're going to focus on today: You only keep the money you make when the customer decides to KEEP what they bought from you. And we'll really dig into how to keep more money by reducing or eliminating refunds and chargebacks. Recap of what we talked about: In Section 1, we talked about why buyer's remorse happens. We learned about the dopamine drop—a chemical crash that happens after the excitement of buying fades. We also saw some surprising stats—42% of Americans regret their purchases, and 74% regret online buys. We explored the reasons behind this regret, from impulse buying to fear of being scammed. In Section 2, we looked at how to use emails to reduce buyer's remorse. We talked about the importance of timing, starting with the “ownership” email within two hours of purchase. We discussed how to use small wins, social proof, and progress markers to keep customers engaged. And we covered the importance of building community by day five. In Section 3, we focused on the words you use after someone buys. We learned how small language changes—like replacing “purchase” with “access”—can shift the focus to value instead of cost. We talked about using implementation language to guide customers toward action. And we explored how ownership language and progress messaging work together to build confidence and satisfaction. When you put all of these strategies together, you create an experience that keeps customers happy and engaged. And that's how you can stop refunds and chargebacks before they even start. Download.
In part one of this two-part episode, Ralph and Lauren are talking about New Customer Acquisition Cost (NCAC). Sure, the mention of math might send some of you running for the hills, but hold on—this is the math that matters. Ralph compares finding your NCAC to searching for buried treasure, while Lauren reminds us that chasing vanity metrics like ROAS alone is as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane.Learn why NCAC is the North Star of scaling a business, how to measure it effectively, and what tools can make the process manageable. Ad platforms love to boast about their results but your bottom line—and how much it costs to add a new customer to it—never lies.As Lauren puts it: “Fake numbers might make you feel good, but they won't pay your bills.”Chapters:00:00:00 – Math That Matters: The Secret Ingredient for Scaling00:00:24 – NCAC: The Metric That's Cooler Than ROAS00:01:42 – Why Calculating NCAC Feels Like Cracking a Cold Case00:02:42 – Scaling Secrets: Unlocking Business Growth with Math00:03:47 – The Real Cost of New Customers (No, It's Not What You Think)00:06:10 – Lifetime Value: Measuring Love from Your Best Customers00:09:28 – Practical Math: When Numbers Lead to Dollars00:12:45 – Refunds, Returns & Regrets: Subtracting the Pain Points00:15:30 – Hidden Costs Unveiled: Shipping, Storage & Surprises00:18:05 – COGS: Decoding Cost of Goods Sold00:20:50 – Gross Profit: The Halfway Mark to True Success00:23:15 – Profit Checkpoint: COGS, Gross Profit, and What They Mean for You00:34:10 – A Special Perk for PT Fans: Wrap-Up & SurpriseLINKS AND RESOURCES:Tier 11Mongoose MediaTier 11 JobsPerpetual TrafficGet Your nCAC Calculation Guide Now!Marketing Performance Indicators™ ChecklistPerpetual Traffic on YouTubeTier 11 on YouTubeBy the NumbersConnect with Lauren on InstagramConnect with Ralph on LinkedInFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterThanks so much for joining us this week.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment, Analytic Dreamz explores the closure of Ubisoft's XDefiant, set to go offline completely on June 2, 2025. We'll discuss the immediate changes like the halt in new registrations, downloads, and in-game purchases. Refunds are on the table for recent buyers, with the Ultimate Founder's Pack purchasers and those who made in-game transactions in the last month getting their money back within eight weeks. Initially launched in May 2024, XDefiant saw a stellar start, hitting 1 million players in just 2.5 hours and averaging 300,000 concurrent players in its first 48 hours, featuring beloved characters from Ubisoft's extensive library. However, the game's player count plummeted, with numbers below 20,000 by August 2024, unable to stand out in a saturated FPS market. We'll delve into Ubisoft's broader challenges, including significant layoffs, the closure of several studios, and a tough year marked by other game flops and ongoing issues. Analytic Dreamz will analyze what this means for Ubisoft and the future of free-to-play shooters amidst industry-wide layoffs and economic pressuresSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
