We're kicking off 2026 with artist William Powhida, whose 2017 work After the Contemporary predicted the future of art with unsettling accuracy. From the NEA closure to resource wars to Miami flooding, his satirical timeline keeps proving prescient. We discuss what he got right, what he missed (AI, influencers), and his predictions for 2026—including the rise of the "haute garde," the gambling-ification of culture, and why flexible pricing models might finally give artists more agency.   Relevant links: William Powhida's After the Contemporary at the Aldrich Museum (2017) Zero Art Fair New Visions Report 2025 The Art Angle Podcast - Ben Davis interviews Nadia Asparouhova on Antimemetics

Today, a rundown of a positive day for stocks, though two Mag 7 stocks look rather weak here given the backdrop. We also discuss a reconstitution of our AI basket, FX trying to become relevant again with some possibly interesting moves developing and the hope that the US dollar can make a statement one way or another by the end of the week with key data incoming. A few comments on Venezuela and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Today's interesting link is to a comment on AgrisAcademy's X account by a former Cargill trader who describes what a failed state looks like from ground level. There is an awful lot to change to get a functioning economy again. For our longer form podcasts, you will also find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J.

What did "great thought leadership" look like when the market wouldn't sit still, the C-suite couldn't sleep, and yesterday's playbook was already obsolete? In this Best of 2025 compilation, we pulled together four standout conversations that got brutally practical about relevance, differentiation, and turning ideas into outcomes. Keith Ferrazzi broke down the real challenge behind "evergreen" ideas: keeping the core principles intact while continuously connecting them to what leaders were worrying about in the moment—AI, volatility, and competitive pressure. The throughline was methodology. Not hot takes. Not vibes. A repeatable way to stay current without becoming a trend-chaser. Then Keith pushed into what he called "teamship"—the underdeveloped layer in leadership thinking. Not how leaders gave feedback. How teams gave each other feedback. Not how a boss held people accountable. How peers did. He was blunt about the data: most teams were mediocre, and many avoided conflict when the stakes were highest. Stephanie Chung reframed a politicized topic into a clean leadership platform: how you led people who were not like you. Not as a slogan. As a set of tools for leading across real differences—generation, gender, neurodiversity, ability, identity, and more. It was a leadership operating system for a workplace where "one-size-fits-all" was dead. Michael Horn brought the "jobs to be done" lens into career strategy with Job Moves. The value here wasn't motivation. It was decision quality. A structured way to avoid moves that looked right on paper and still landed wrong in real life—and to reconnect your thought leadership to the unique value you actually provided. Paige Velasquez Budde got tactical about thought leadership as a visibility engine. She called out the fantasy metrics (overnight bestseller, one big hit, last-minute PR) and replaced them with a grown-up approach: start early, build credibility over time, and use targeted "micro media" to drive the outcomes that mattered—leads, authority, and premium positioning. We've learned a lot from our guests in 2025, this episode provides valuable information on taking your platform to the next level, staying relevant, and finding success in 2026!

In this episode of The Observatory, Scott and LaRae share what they are consciously choosing to let go of this year and what they are welcoming in as new anchors for joy, creativity, and connection. They reflect on releasing the need to earn joy, opening more fully to music and vibrational engagement, and embracing a deeper relationship with nature as a way to remember their place in a larger harmony. This new year, Scott and LaRae invite you to consider your own “ins and outs” so you can align this season with what truly nourishes your spirit and life.Timestamps[04:09] What's out and what's in for Scott this year[05:00] What's in and what's out for LaRae this year[06:20] The big out for both Scott and LaRae this year[09:58] Sharing of experiences[13:43] Letting go of the feeling of having to earn joy[16:49] What we can learn from the older cultures[19:16] Having a deeper connection with nature[21:50] A challenge for the new yearNotable quotes:“The connection to nature allows you to understand that we are in harmony with nature.” - LaRae Wright [17:48]Relevant links:Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcast

Welcome to a monumental episode! As we close out 2025, we are not only giving you the ultimate blueprint for strategic goal setting but also making the huge announcement that Real Estate Investing is branching out from the Master Passive Income Network to become The Equity Builders Club Podcast—specializing in Canadian and Montreal real estate strategy!This transition exemplifies the power of specific goals, which is the core of today's topic: Why you must stop relying on vague New Year's Resolutions.This episode dives deep into the strategic methods used by successful investors and high performers. You'll learn how to apply the well-known SMART Goal framework (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) to complex real estate scenarios, moving beyond simple concepts like weight loss and property acquisition to tackle challenges like improving your professional network and quantifying hard-to-measure skills.Crucially, we explore the difference between Outcome Goals (like "buy a building") and Habit Goals (like "make one offer a week"). Outcome goals point the way, but it's the consistent habits—the daily actions—that actually generate long-term equity and financial freedom. We discuss why focusing solely on outcomes often leads to frustration and how aligning your habits with your "big why" is the secret to enduring motivation and change.Tune in to learn:How to apply the SMART criteria to real estate goals (from property acquisition to network growth).The essential role of Habit Goals in manifesting your investment outcomes.Why deep alignment with your goals (your "big why") is the non-negotiable key to sustaining difficult behavioral change.Full details on the rebrand to The Equity Builders Club and our new focus on Canadian real estate for 2026.Don't miss this final episode before the pivot!

This powerful message takes us back to the very beginning—to the Garden of Eden—to rediscover what God originally intended for our lives. We explore the profound truth that before sin entered the world, God planted a garden with four rivers flowing from it, each representing provision, life, direction, and fruitfulness. These weren't just physical rivers; they were prophetic pictures of everything we need for abundant living. The remarkable revelation is that through Jesus Christ, the blessing of Eden has been restored to believers. What Adam lost through disobedience, Jesus reclaimed through His sacrifice. Now, through the Holy Spirit living within us, that same river flows—not around us, but through us. We're challenged to understand that we're not striving to obtain God's blessing; we're learning to tap into what's already been placed inside us. The missing ingredient in many of our lives isn't more effort or better strategies—it's a deeper fellowship with the Holy Spirit. This year isn't about trying harder; it's about pressing in deeper, getting 'all in' with the Holy Spirit, and refusing to live disconnected from the Source of everything we need. Happy New Year and welcome to Relevant Church Live, the online campus of Relevant Church located in Daytona Beach, Florida. We pray that through this service you find your place, reveal your purpose, and unlock your potential!

In this episode of The Observatory, Scott and LaRae share practical guidance for breaking through limiting beliefs and stepping into a freer, more authentic self, so growth comes from within rather than from chasing external validation. They explore how healing beliefs shape creativity, voice, and everyday actions, and offer actionable steps to rename, reframe, and release mental barriers. Through personal stories and heartfelt insights, they explain how belief-work can unlock greater compassion, connection, and impact in life and work. Timestamps[01:52] The episode on healing from limiting beliefs[03:46] Scott on using his voice in many ways[09:00] How the song ‘A Way in a Manger' came to form[11:55] How Scott feels after completing the song he promised[13:29] Scott's advice to people with limiting beliefs[20:15] The idea of renaming the song from ‘A Way in a Manger' to ‘Right Here in a Manger' [23:54] Scott and LaRae wish you happy holidays[24:06] Scott playing the song ‘Right Here in a Manger'Notable quotes:“Anytime you are helping yourself to be more free, open, loving, caring, and compassionate, you're permitting other people to do the same, and that's what makes the world a better place.” - Scott Wright [14:06]“The key is to recognize where it is that you have some limiting belief about yourself that is keeping you from doing something so beneficial to yourself.” - Scott Wright [13:39]“Each of us is connected to everything.” - Scott Wright [21:58]Relevant links:Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcast

Okay, this isn't our usual episode. There's no philosophy, no Gita breakdown, no talk of funnels or energy anatomy today. Instead, I have a gift for you—a guided meditation designed to help you do something surprisingly hard: feel good and stay in it. If you've been through trauma or long-term stress, your nervous system might default to worry, numbness, or waiting for the other shoe to drop—even when things are actually going well. This practice gently helps you expand your capacity to receive joy, compliments, connection, and peace without flinching. ✨ A few important notes:

Christmas Eve carries a profound truth that extends far beyond nostalgia and tradition—it marks the night when hope literally came down to earth. Drawing from Luke 2:8-14, we encounter shepherds going about their ordinary routines when suddenly the extraordinary breaks through: angels appear with news that a rescuer has been born. This message explores three transformative realities that Christmas reveals. First, light breaks into darkness—Isaiah 9:2 reminds us that people walking in darkness have seen a great light, and this applies to every dark season we face. We don't control the future, but we control how we respond to it, and Jesus meets us in those difficult moments. Second, God is truly with us—the name Emmanuel means 'God with us,' reminding us that Jesus doesn't come and go based on our behavior or circumstances. He's present in the car during heated conversations, in the club, everywhere we go. We can't 'coat check' Jesus at the door. Third, salvation has arrived—not just as a ticket to heaven, but as heaven breaking into earth right now. That Greek word for salvation means forgiveness is available, grace is overflowing, and redemption is real. The beauty of this night is that we don't need to travel great distances like the wise men did—there's no separation between us and Jesus anymore. We can simply lift our hands right where we are and worship the one who bridged every gap through his birth, death, and resurrection.

At the heart of Christmas lies a profound truth that transcends tinsel and traditions: Emmanuel—God with us. This message unpacks Matthew 1:18-23, revealing that Jesus didn't just arrive as a distant savior but as an ever-present companion in our messiest moments. We're reminded that God's presence isn't seasonal or performance-based; He doesn't check out when we stumble or wait until we've cleaned up our act to show up. The word 'soteria' (salvation) encompasses not just eternal deliverance but daily deliverance, protection, wholeness, and victory over shame and guilt. Christmas becomes more than a historical event—it's the beginning of our transformation story. The baby in the manger grew into the Savior on the cross who carried our baggage so we wouldn't have to. This isn't about decorating our lives with religious practices; it's about allowing God to remake us from the inside out. When we approach Him with open hearts, the veil lifts, and we begin reflecting His glory, moving from one level of transformation to another. The most liberating truth? We're no longer defined by our sins, labeled by our past, or identified by our failures. We've been transformed from sinners to sons and daughters, from lost to found, from outsiders to heirs.

In this festive end-of-year SheerLuxe Podcast, Georgie Coleridge Cole is joined by Hodge Templeman and Josh Smith. From Lauren Silverman stealing the spotlight on Simon Cowell's new Netflix series to the long-awaited return of ‘The Night Manager' (and a collective appreciation of Tom Hiddleston) the trio cover the TV moments everyone's talking about. There's plenty of fashion and lifestyle chat too, including the independent brands the team genuinely loves – from cult socks and standout fragrances to jeans worth tracking down and lingerie labels doing things differently. Along the way, they dive into big-picture reflections on friendship, boundaries, showing up for people and the art of good conversation, with Josh sharing insights ahead of the relaunch of his podcast in January. Expect festive chaos, celebrity obsessions, thoughtful takes on communication and the kind of honest, funny conversation that feels like being part of the group chat – the perfect way to wrap up the year.AD | Lululemon | https://www.lululemon.co.uk/en-gb/homeOUTFITSGeorgie Coleridge Cole | @gcoleridgecole | https://www.instagram.com/gcoleridgecole/?hl=en Maebe Tailored Every Wear Blazer | https://maebe.co.uk/products/tailored-every-wear-blazer-black Déhanche Hollylock Silver Belt | https://tinyurl.com/39racsvw Soru Duo Coco Earrings | https://tinyurl.com/pvy55nfj Zara Wide Leg Jeans (similar) | https://tidd.ly/3L9uZKy Balenciaga Knife Boots | https://tinyurl.com/954zp8wf Josh Smith | @joshsmithhosts | https://www.instagram.com/joshsmithhosts/?hl=en M&S Crew Neck Aspen Jumper | https://tidd.ly/48VtGa0 M&S Bedford Cord Smart Trousers | https://tidd.ly/4anYsea Hodge Templeman | @sarahjtempleman | https://www.instagram.com/sarahjtempleman/?hl=en Ninety Percent Soft Roll Neck (similar) | https://tinyurl.com/bddeb5us Nanushuka Amas Leather Sarong Skirt (similar) | https://tinyurl.com/yu6svsn7 Jennifer Chamandi Cece 105 Black Suede Boots | https://tinyurl.com/y46m64bb By Alona Dune Earrings | https://byalona.com/collections/earrings/products/dune-earrings-gold Paola Sighinolfi Cressa Bracelet | https://www.paolasighinolfi.com/en-gb/products/cressa-bracelet NEW & NOTEWORTHYLapland UK | https://portal.laplanduk.co.uk/ Kelly Hoppen x M&S Candle No 1 Scented Candle | https://tidd.ly/4pFvrz9 Reign With Josh Smith | https://tinyurl.com/rhhpv5bu Buckeye By Patrick Ryan | https://tinyurl.com/5s5sfayj Verafied Bags | https://verafiedny.com/ Discothèque | https://discothequefragrances.com/ Pairs Socks | https://www.pairs-socks.com/ FASHION FINDSThe Pantry Underwear | https://thepantryunderwear.com/ The Pantry Bridal Range | https://thepantryunderwear.com/pages/bridal-solutions Anine Bing Jeans | https://eu.aninebing.com/en-gb/collections/denim-1 De Savary Fur Coat | https://www.desavarylondon.com/products/chocolate-faux-fur-coat De Savary Burgundy Cropped Leather Jacket | https://tinyurl.com/4ftdbcfp Intimissimi Modal Ultralight High Neck Top | https://tinyurl.com/3dup7thz Intimissimi Modal Ultralight Long Lace Shirt | https://tinyurl.com/mruhxhs2 The AW25 Trend We're Obsessed With | https://tinyurl.com/mrvxbffv MUSTN'T MISSReign With Josh Smith | https://tinyurl.com/rhhpv5bu Great Chat By Josh Smith | https://tinyurl.com/2s39sn4j Rapid-Fire Questions | https://tinyurl.com/256rdba3 HOT TOPICSimon Cowell: The Next Act | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81743409?source=35&fromWatch=true Paddington Bear Musical | https://paddingtonthemusical.com/ Matilda Musical | https://uk.matildathemusical.com/ Mrs Doubtfire Musical | https://www.mrsdoubtfiremusical.co.uk/ Moulin Rouge | https://moulinrougemusical.co.uk/ Cabaret | https://www.theplayhousetheatre.co.uk/cabaret The Night Manager | https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0fty7vj/the-night-manager The Honourable Woman | https://tinyurl.com/4fd59e2v The White Lotus | https://tv.apple.com/gb/show/the-white-lotus/umc.cmc.3c8psnhdn9viikje3kvq69fyr Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Observatory, it's a special day, it's LaRae's birthday, and she joins the Heart + Head Work show hosted by Tessa Arneson and Rocky Donati to discuss the shift from chasing goals to living with a grounded sense of self in the present moment. Together, they explore how redefining success beyond constant striving can open up far more possibilities than rigid goal-setting ever could, especially when you learn to receive instead of always hunt. LaRae shares her journey out of corporate life, the moment she moved from overthinking to inner knowing, and how she built a business guided by intuition rather than hustle. Timestamps[03:57] How Tessa, Rocky, and LaRae are doing[09:00] What Tessa's grandfather revealed to her during meditation[10:02] How Tessa and LaRae first met[11:40] LaRae's background information[15:02] LaRae's journey from the corporate life to being present[19:08] How LaRae grew her sense of self[20:40] The earliest moment that LaRae shifted from thinking to knowing[23:58] How to be better about receiving versus hunting[30:28] Not letting business drive your life[37:31] LaRae's business, which used intuition and was successful[40:54] Knowing your drive [51:53] Learning from your adversities[01:00:13] Episode wrap-up[01:04:25] The upcoming ‘You Are The Medicine' retreat that LaRae is hostingNotable quotes:“All you have to do is show up and be yourself.” - Rocky Donati [04:52]“The sense of self is our strongest asset.” - Rocky Donati [17:54]“Setting goals narrows the potentiality of what is out there for you.” - LaRae Wright [30:19]“The answer is all about the gifts that you have, the way you see the world, the story that you have created, and how you live in the world.” - LaRae Wright [49:39]“Grow down so you can become the original version of yourself that was so big and beautiful.” - Rocky Donati [01:06:37]Relevant links:Heart + Head Work Podcast Apple PodcastSubscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

Rian Johnson's new Knives Out film, 'Wake Up Dead Man,' is sparking conversations few mainstream movies ever touch — faith, forgiveness, power and what it actually means to follow Jesus in a polarized world.In this episode, we talk with the filmmaker about growing up in the Church, walking away from faith and why Christ's teachings — especially “love your enemy” — still shape the stories he wants to tell. Johnson opens up about wrestling with the us-versus-them mentality, the corrupting pull of power and influence, and why he wanted to portray Christian belief with empathy rather than caricature.Plus, the RELEVANT crew debates the best Christmas movie of all time in a chaotic bracket showdown, reacts to surprising year-end culture stories and discusses new research suggesting adolescence doesn't actually end until age 32.HIGHLIGHTS:01:40 – Why 'Wake Up Dead Man' Feels Like a Gospel Story04:00 – Serving vs. Fighting: Faith and the Culture War06:45 – Why Culture Is More Open to Spiritual Conversations09:20 – Is Wake Up Dead Man the Best Knives Out Movie?12:10 – Is Rian Johnson Done With Faith?13:10 – Christianity vs. Church Culture20:15 – RELEVANT Buzz22:00 – Forrest Frank Breaks Into Google's “Hum to Search” List26:30 – Theo Von and Morgan Wallen's Bible Study Revealed32:00 – Rian Johnson on Growing Up Evangelical34:00 – “Arms Wide Open vs. Fists Up” Faith Explained39:00 — SLICES39:20 – New Research Says Adolescence Lasts Until Age 3245:15 – AI Reality TV Is Here (Unfortunately)47:30 – Christmas Movie Bracket ChallengeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
