The Bank of Japan keeps hiking its policy rate, Japanese bond yields continue to rise, yet no matter how high interest rates go over there the weaker the Japanese yen seems to get. And no one can figure out why. The government is stumped. Central bankers can only complain. And the yen is not the only one, but is a critical example of what everyone leaves out because they don't really know what they're looking at, or even looking for.

Upon obtaining his Master's degree he somehow stumbled his way into the wonderous world of whiskey distillation. And once he started working with stills, he never looked back. Since then, he has built numerous distilleries both as a distiller and as a consultant. He also began teaching the science and art of distillation through numerous organizations throughout the United States, Canada, and the UK. In an effort to further the field of whiskey education he has authored countless articles, webinars, and talks. He has also written two highly regarded books for the industry, Cask Management for Distillers (White Mule Press, 2020) and Batch Distillation: Science and Practice (White Mule Press, 2021). Matt lives in Pittsburgh with his wife and two precocious daughters. His hobbies include rock climbing and shopping for cars his wife will never let him buy. He also believes that irony is not a prerequisite for listening to Journey.

Doubt isn't protecting you from failure, it's protecting you from your feelings.For every ambitious person, doubt is the silent killer of greatness. Joe breaks down what he's learned from working with Silicon Valley's top performers: doubt isn't an intellectual problem, it's a misunderstood emotional signal. It's a protective mechanism to stop you from feeling something uncomfortable, whether it's a fear of failure or even a fear of success.
Episode 152 of the Award Travel 101 podcast covers a wide range of timely award travel news, recent booking challenges, and a deep dive into how Angie and Cameron are thinking about points earning as they look ahead to 2026. The hosts open with a community highlight about delayed Amex-to-Delta transfers, reminding listeners that transfers may still be usable even if balances don't immediately update, and that transfer times vary by program. In the news segment, they discuss several changes affecting travelers, including airlines rolling out free in-flight internet, American Airlines eliminating mileage earning on Basic Economy tickets booked after December 17, Chase reducing Points Boost values for The Edit hotels, and Bilt adding Spirit Airlines as a transfer partner.Both hosts then share recent bonuses, trips, and booking experiences—good and bad. Angie notes difficulties using Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts credits due to pricing and availability, as well as a frustrating phantom award space issue on United. Cameron details multiple upcoming trips, including booking LATAM business class to Chile via Virgin, taking advantage of a limited Amex-to-Virgin transfer bonus, and finding strong premium economy value on Air France, even if logistics made it less appealing. These examples highlight how flexible points strategies and constant monitoring are often required to secure good redemptions.The main topic focuses on how many points were earned and spent this year and what that means for 2026. Angie describes a relatively slow year for new card openings but significant spending on major trips, leaving her overall points-positive while planning to cancel or downgrade several cards and target a few specific additions next year. Cameron reports earning 1.8 million points, realizing how heavily he relied on American Airlines miles, and deciding to prioritize earning more of them going forward. The episode wraps with a reminder that calendar-year credits—especially Amex credits—are about to expire, urging listeners to use them before the deadline.Episode Links:Atmos Free StarlinkAmerican No earning on basic economyChase reduces Points Boost on the EditBilt adds SpiritWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

And yet, in the middle of all of it, one truth remains unshaken: love is still the answer.

Does this holiday season feel heavier than it should? Are emotions feeling closer to the surface, leaving you exhausted, anxious, or unsteady without knowing why? What if this isn't just "holiday stress," but a massive energetic transition that is literally dissolving your past? Michael welcomes back Jim Self, spiritual teacher and co-founder of Mastering Alchemy, to explain exactly what is happening beneath the surface of this overwhelming time. Jim reveals the shocking truth: We are in the middle of a massive transition from a third-dimensional state of reaction and duality into a new state of Wellbeing. This isn't just about coping; this is about understanding that you cannot take your "baggage" with you where we are going. Discover why linear time is dissolving, how the "monster under the bed" is actually just an old towel, and the specific tools you need to dissolve the shadows before they bite. Key Topics: Moving out of the 3rd dimension (reaction, duality, linear time) and why it feels so "choppy" right now. The Baggage Rule: Why you cannot take your old wounds and beliefs ("baggage") with you into the new frequency. A simple, powerful visualization to instantly explode negative thoughts and remove unfinished emotions from your space. Linear Time vs. Present Time: Why living in the past creates suffering, and how "Present Time" is the only place where wellbeing exists. How we are finally weaving the emotional flow of Mu with the structure of Atlantis to create a new, unbreakable "Golden Thread" of love and intelligence. The 2026 & 2027 Acceleration: Jim's prediction on why the next two years will dissolve the memory of "not being okay" and lead to a spectacular expansion of consciousness. Why asking "What's wrong with me?" attracts more pain, and how to shift your attention to dissolve it instantly. If you are ready to stop arguing for your limitations and start remembering who you truly are, this message will help you find the excitement in the unknown. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!
If slowing down makes you feel more anxious instead of calm, this episode explains why. You'll learn how trauma trains the nervous system to equate safety with staying busy, in control, or on guard - and why true safety isn't something you need to seek after, but something your body experiences. In this episode, we explore how to orient your nervous system to the present moment, why rest can feel unsafe after trauma, and how a felt sense of safety allows real healing to begin. This gentle, faith-integrated conversation helps you understand why your body struggles to relax -- and what it actually needs instead. FREE RESOURCE: If this episode resonated, you might be interested in my free resource. I created a free, faith-honoring guide that gently explains how healing happens in the body and why you're not failing. Free Trauma Healing Resource Guide WORK WITH MICHELLE CROYLE, LPC: If you are a Christian woman who feels ready for deeper, focused trauma healing than typical weekly talk therapy can offer, you may want to consider an EMDR-based Therapeutic Intensive with me. I clear my schedule to work with you over the course of one to three days for three to six hours per day on a focus target of your choosing. Intensives are designed to support meaningful change in the way the nervous system feels safest, not rushed into an hour here and there. Ready for deeper healing?

In the upstream oil and gas world, “reserve life” — calculated via the Reserve Life Index — is one of the simplest and most widely cited metrics. But behind the RLI lies a web of technical, financial and strategic forces that make it surprisingly nuanced measure of an E&P's long-term outlook.
We're taught that real love should feel effortless… but the truth is that long-term love isn't something you fall into and stay in automatically. It's something you choose, nurture, and return to — again and again.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back for Couples) , Kim & Roberto break down the fairytale myth of effortless love and reveal what actually makes relationships thrive: repair, truth, emotional presence, and the willingness to grow together.They share how old stories, early conditioning, and unconscious patterns shape adult relationships… and how choosing each other through the uncomfortable moments creates deeper safety, connection, and desire.This episode is a powerful reminder that the couples who thrive aren't the ones who avoid rupture — they're the ones who repair with intention and love. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy the belief that love should be effortless sets couples up for disappointment and disconnectionHow childhood stories, family patterns, and early relationships quietly shape what we expect from love as adultsWhy growth triggers old wounds and how those unconscious patterns show up inside long-term relationships.How repair is an erotic superpower and why it strengthens connection far more than avoiding conflict ever couldHow choosing each other again and again creates long-term love that feels grounded, safe, intimate, and wildly fulfilling Love isn't effortless… It's chosen. And when you choose each other with intention, your relationship becomes the most powerful place for healing and awakening. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

Most people don't fail because they lack discipline or desire.They fail because they misdiagnose what's happening inside their own brain.In this episode, Dr. Dee Poskas reveals why “being stuck” is not a personality flaw, why doubt is meant to slow impulsivity — not stop progress — and how disappointment quietly shapes risk, leadership, and decision-making. If you've ever felt busy but stagnant, driven but blocked, or successful but unsatisfied, this conversation will change how you see yourself — and how you move next.Key TakeawaysWhat “being stuck” actually means psychologicallyWhy doubt is a yield sign, not a stop signFalse flagging theory and impulsivityBurnout vs decision paralysis vs overcommitmentWhy most people misdiagnose their stuck cycleThe neuroscience behind disappointmentDisappointment stacking and risk avoidanceHead, heart, and gut brain alignmentWhy high achievers overwork and still stallHow better diagnosis leads to faster growth

This isn't price hype or cope. It's a macro-driven look at liquidity, market structure, Ethereum's evolving role, investor psychology, and why fundamentals kept improving while prices stalled.~~~~~
Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society. In this last episode of 2025, Justin interviews Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle of RIMS Risk Management magazine on the most impactful risks of 2025 and what's expected in 2026. They discuss the difficulty of reporting on the rapid pace of risk change. Morgan and Hilary discuss the most impactful natural events of 2025: wildfires in California and Canada, Hurricane Melissa, and flooding.

Visit RMmagazine.com for more information. [2:39] I wanted to dive deeper into some of the pages and the stories that made major headlines in risk management this year. Morgan and Hilary are rejoining us as part of our annual tradition. [2:54] We're not just looking back; we're also going to talk about how these events should be some warning signs and provide some extra insight for risk managers around the world. [3:05] Interview! This is our final episode of the year, and we're going out with a bang with two of my favorite people! [3:12] Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle, welcome back to RIMScast! [3:23] Justin saw Morgan and Hilary, just a month ago in Seattle, at the ERM Conference. Morgan says it was raining the whole time, but it was a good conference. It was well-attended, and everybody enjoyed themselves, and the attendees got a lot out of it. It was a great event! [3:51] Hilary also thought it was great! The turnout was fantastic! There was some great feedback on a lot of the sessions. There were some packed rooms! People seemed pleased with the programming. Hilary didn't see the sun until she left, but she enjoyed the city! [5:12] Morgan and Hilary's goal for attending the ERM Conference is to gather good ideas for articles. They look for presenters who might be good content contributors in other formats. They look to get a sense of what is new and what is emerging. [5:24] Morgan and Hilary talk to members about what they're seeing in practice and what's concerning to them. Morgan says if there's a packed room for a session, it's clearly a topic that's resonating, which bumps it to the top of the list of things to pursue, since there's interest in it. [6:17] Justin notes that Morgan's always there in the sessions with pen and paper. He's old school! [7:36] Morgan says the hardest part of reporting on risk is the breadth of the risks they cover. Everything has a lot more nuance and a lot more effect. This incident happened, which had 57 knock-on effects. [7:47] Morgan explains why distilling that down to something that makes sense in article form is a huge challenge and compares writing about risk to the experience risk managers have with everything they deal with. [8:10] Morgan says that, at the end of the year, spotlighting the year in risk coverage is a challenge. How do you get the entire economic, geopolitical situation down to 200 words? [8:37] Hilary says the velocity of change is a challenge when covering risk. Unlike in everyday news coverage, they have to add an amount of value or takeaways for a reader who is looking to do something about risk. Developing that value, at the speed of risk, is particularly challenging. [9:15] Hilary continues. Crises are compounded now. You can't ignore a lot of those factors that make a crisis a bad issue. Hilary cites hurricanes, rapid intensification, which is a knock-on effect of climate change, lax building codes, and people building more in certain regions. [9:38] Hilary says you have to add so many layers to explain why this crisis is happening now. It becomes a lot more challenging to figure out how it impacts insurance. You have to take into account different exclusions or the way the policies are created. There are a lot of moving parts. [10:04] Morgan says, It's not just your picture. It's the picture of your suppliers and your customers, who might be across the country or around the world. All of their risks become your risks or, at least, will impact your business. [10:33] Justin compliments the digital layout of RIMS Risk Manager magazine. He speaks of how Morgan and Hilary go to RIMS events looking for inspiration for content and content contributors. [11:05] Morgan says, We're only as good as the information we've learned through the people we've met, or what we've read. We're not practicing risk managers. Hearing from experts who deal with it every day is the strongest way to get good content that resonates with our readers. [12:17] Morgan says wildfires were probably the most costly insured loss of 2025. Hilary says that earthquakes were the most costly in terms of the loss of life. The LA fire was the largest single economic loss. There are lots of expensive homes in Southern California. [13:26] Canada has had wildfires raging almost non-stop for two or three years. Wildfires are no longer secondary perils. They're a prime source of loss. Severe convective storms, in the aggregate, probably caused more damage than wildfires this year. [14:04] Hilary says severe convective storms have been in the top 10 for seven out of the last 10 years. Morgan says this was one of the top convective storm years. In natural disasters, you're not looking just at hurricanes and earthquakes, but also fires, floods, and more. [14:32] Hilary talks about secondary factors, like tremendous wind events in California, increasing the rate at which fires spread, making containment difficult. Things were moving fast. A lot of buildings were burning. It took three weeks to put out two of the largest fires. [15:05] Canada faced different challenges. All but two provinces had record, above-average fire seasons. Some fires impacted remote areas where getting people out is logistically extremely difficult. Seventy-something First Nations communities had to be evacuated. [15:35] If you're dealing with areas that are largely only accessible by air, getting communities of people out for long periods is logistically very challenging, with a devastating human impact. They're very different fires. [15:52] Hilary says it was quite a year. Morgan ties it back to the impact of climate change. It starts with drought, and it's exacerbated by winds. Then you've got these weird things that pop up where Mother Nature says, Hey, I've got a weird twist for you! [16:13] Quick Break! RISKWORLD 2026 will be held from May 3rd through the 6th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. RISKWORLD attracts more than 10,000 risk professionals from across the globe. It's time to Connect, Cultivate, and Collaborate with them. Booth sales are open now! [16:35] General registration and speaker registration are also open right now! Marketplace and Hospitality badges will be available starting on March 3rd. Links are in this episode's show notes. [16:50] Let's Return to Our Interview with Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle! [17:11] Some of the fires Canada experienced this year were zombie fires, also called holdover fires, or overwintering fires. They can live in the soil under the snow until it gets warm, the snow melts, and they reignite. Some of the fires of 2025 were started in 2023. [16:23] Hilary believes those holdover fires were in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and up North. Holdover fires are most common in the Arctic Circle. [18:43] Morgan and Hilary believe that's a good example of things that will happen more frequently with climate change, affecting a larger number of people than before. [19:15] Morgan says convective storms are tornadoes and thunderstorms. Hilary adds that it has to do with the pressure front that leads to forming them. Outbreaks of many tornadoes in a couple of days wreak havoc in the U.S. Midwest. [20:06] Morgan says the highest intensity of a tornado is EF5. There was an EF5 tornado in North Dakota for the first time in 10 years. It touched down in a place where there were not a lot of people. [20:35] Hilary says we're seeing increasingly severe convective storms and inland flooding losses. Severe storms are flooding areas that weren't thought of as being at risk of flooding. [20:50] The more we build into these plains with high-value properties, the more damaging convective storms are getting. The storms are also getting worse. We're also seeing increasingly damaging hail. That's a severe convective storm issue, as well. [21:27] Morgan says climate change makes things more intense and widespread. Morgan says his favorite climate change after-effect was the attack of the jellyfish this year. [21:57] There were multiple instances of French nuclear power plants being taken offline by giant swarms of jellyfish clogging the coolant intake lines. Europe had a super-hot summer. Water temperatures rose, which increased jellyfish activity and presence. [22:26] There were so many jellyfish, they ended up in places they shouldn't be. France generates 70% of its electricity through nuclear power. If nuclear power plants are taken offline, it's not just a minor annoyance. [22:51] If you're a company during a blackout, you don't care that it was jellyfish. You're still not in business for the time that you don't have power. Suddenly, this climate change effect is now a part of a disaster preparedness plan because of climate change. You have to plan for jellyfish. [24:43] Hurricane Melissa was another storm with widespread flooding and enormous insured losses. Morgan notes that 2025 was a relatively low-activity season from the standpoint of how many hurricanes made landfall. [25:18] Melissa was the most damaging and probably accounted for 90% of economic losses and loss of life. It did billions of dollars' worth of damage. [25:33] There were three Category 5 Hurricanes this year; four is the record, but they mostly went out into the ocean; they didn't do anything. That doesn't mean it's always going to happen. If one storm hits the right place, you're in trouble. [26:07] It was an active storm season for Jamaica. It only takes one storm in your area to be an active season for you. [26:25] Hilary says Melissa is a textbook case of some of the perils of rapid intensification. It got much worse very quickly. The fact that we've seen such a proportion of Category 5 storms is a pattern that is concerning. [26:57] They discussed rapid intensification in the hurricane outlook for the season. Hurricane Erin also occurred this year. It intensified quickly, but it didn't cause a lot of damage. Your lead time is less when a storm intensifies quickly. [27:32] Morgan says it's important to get things in order before storms hit because you may not have the time to do it when it's mid-season. You don't know where or when a storm will hit. [27:50] Wikipedia calls Melissa the costliest storm in Jamaican history, at $10 billion in damage, 102 fatalities, 141 injuries, and 27 missing. [28:38] A Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [28:57] Spencer awards undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D., and Pre-Instructor of Practice Scholarships to students enrolled at an accredited college or university in the U.S. and Canada, and physically studying in either location. No remote coursework eligibility from other locations. [29:14] Including part-time, graduate scholarships to risk management and insurance professionals continuing their education. [29:20] Since 1980, Spencer has invested more than $11.1 million in the scholarship program with awards to over 1,700 students. More than 85% of Spencer's scholarship recipients remain in the industry to this day. [29:35] They've got undergraduate scholarships, full-time Master's scholarships, part-time Master's scholarships, pre-dissertation Ph.D. candidates, doctoral candidates, and pre-instructor of practice scholarships all open now. The application deadline is January 31st, 2026. [29:57] Visit SpencerEd.org/scholarships. You'll find the different application buttons. See the link in this episode's show notes for more information, giving you some extra homework to do over the holiday break, if you are taking a holiday break! [30:14] Let's Return to the Conclusion of Our Interview with Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle! [30:46] Justin mentions that tariffs in 2025 affect 90% of U.S. imports. That's a supply chain management issue and an ERM issue. Tariffs themselves are an issue. [31:16] What Morgan connects most to tariffs is the uncertainty they create, especially in the way they've been implemented this year. Tariffs are promised, then the terms are changed, creating uncertainty. What level of costs will businesses absorb or pass on to customers? [31:50] Morgan says those things make the business landscape unstable. Tariffs in April would be better than 57 different announcements that change the picture every other week and tend to tank the stock market. [32:20] Morgan says Goldman Sachs estimated in September that 55% of the incurred costs have been passed to consumers, depending on the business. Once it impacts your customers, you've got less revenue coming in. It's an unstable environment. [32:47] Hilary contrasts this year's tariffs with past tariffs. Usually, it's a "set it and forget it" situation. Hilary calls this year's tariffs erratic and confusing. The scale and the frequency of change are unprecedented. [33:31] Morgan says you can feel it when you go to the store. That's not helping from a personal standpoint or a business standpoint. Justin speaks of shrinkflation. [33:47] Tariffs are going to affect inflation. Nobody wants that. [34:22] Hilary speaks of alternate supply chains that are in more friendly tariff environments. Some of the items in your products are going to be different. Some of your processes will be different. You don't know if you're also going to be getting inferior products. [34:52] Morgan says it's not as simple as saying just get a new supplier. That's an operational shift from procurement, on. Hilary says, hopefully, you won't have to do product safety testing or environmental impact studies, or reporting around your supply chain. [35:09] Morgan notes that some raw materials may only be available in five countries, like a rare earth mineral. [35:32] Justin asks if this is explored in depth in the Q4 edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine. Hilary says we are not talking about rare earth minerals in that issue. Morgan is working on figuring out how we can cover that, perhaps, in 2026. [35:53] Morgan is fascinated by this topic. There are limited deposits of things. The broader point is that if you're affected by tariffs and you're trying to change suppliers or sources, you may not have all the options. [36:12] Hilary says it is a situation where the risk is very much there, but the management or mitigation of it is not necessarily something you can do much about. Only so many places make cobalt. Morgan adds, There are only so many mines out there. [36:31] Justin says, The Q4 edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine is out now. This is the last episode of 2025. We're going to have you back to discuss a little bit more in the first episode of 2026. [37:01] Morgan's parting words: "I'm just glad you're listening. I'm glad you're listening. I'm glad you're reading. I'm glad you're here. I feel like it's a privilege to keep writing for you, talking to you, so hopefully, we continue to do that in the new year. Everybody, be safe and happy." [37:14] Hilary's parting words: "Thanks for making it through another year!" [37:18] So, we're going to have you back in January, and we'll pick up there, probably with some cyber and some Data Privacy Day kick-off, January 5th, 2026.

Now they just need to get the perfect album art, title, set…and the perfect list of everything they need to do before they can launch the perfect podcast!In this episode, our hosts tackle everyone's favourite Achilles heel: perfectionism. It shows up in individuals, teams, organizations, and entire societies. They explore where it comes from, why it has increased dramatically over the past decades, and how it narrows perception, creates internal chaos, and—paradoxically—produces worse results.They discuss:Perfectionism is fundamentally fear-based, not excellence-basedHow perfectionism predicts the same negative health outcomes as chronic stressThe rise of perfectionism over the past 30 years and why things haven't gotten betterBinary thinking and the illusion of a perfect end stateThe childhood roots of perfectionism and chaotic environmentsWhy perfectionism actually creates the chaos it's trying to preventHow organizations unintentionally reward fear and stagnationPractical ways to work with fear, the inner critic, and the nervous systemRelated Research: How Perfectionist Leaders Stifle Creativity (Forbes)Perfectionism Is Increasing (HBR)Why Being A Perfectionist Is Bad For Your Health (Self)Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!

If rising costs have you questioning how to stay afloat, you are not alone. Does it feel like the holiday season quietly got canceled this year? Is there a quiet, unsettling fear in the background about safety, control, and where the world is headed? Michael welcomes Sonia Choquette, bestselling author, six-sensory consultant, and transformational visionary guide, for a profound dialogue about navigating the "mush" of our current reality. Sonia Choquette reveals the SHOCKING TRUTH beneath the surface: the destabilization you feel isn't the end, it's the "birth canal" of a new humanity. This isn't about surviving the chaos; this is about understanding that VIBRATION is your first language. Discover why we are shifting from a 3D material world to a multi-dimensional reality, how to stop "protecting" yourself so you can finally expand, and the exact tools to keep your spirit bright when the world feels dark. Key Topics: Why the collapse of old structures and the "contractions" we feel are actually signs of a new, higher consciousness being born. Vibration is Your First Language: Why words are obsolete and how to become "vibrationally literate" to navigate the new world. The new scientific term for intuition and why your "gut feelings" are actually accurate energetic sensing. Sonia brings through Joaquin (Emissary of the Third Ray) to deliver a powerful message on why you are in no danger. The Myth of Protection: Why trying to "protect" your energy actually causes fear-based contraction, and why EXPANSION is the only true safety. A simple 3-word question ("How's your spirit?") that instantly shifts any conversation from ego to soul. How to stimulate your vagal nerve and instantly reset your nervous system through song. Sonia's prediction on why the darkness is already waning and how inspiration will replace fear in 2026. This is a lifeline for the sensitive soul. If you have been feeling ungrounded, dizzy, or overwhelmed, this message will help you remember that the situation may be critical, but it is NEVER serious. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!
