Arsenal head to Fratton Park for a heavily rotated FA Cup tie as Mikel Arteta looks to manage minutes after a demanding festive period. With ten changes to the starting XI, the discussion centres on squad depth, fringe players getting opportunities, and how standards are maintained despite wholesale rotation.The episode focuses on Gabriel Martinelli's response after a difficult week in the spotlight, as he delivers a hat-trick performance that sparks wider debate around confidence, form, and what a strong showing against lower-league opposition really tells us. The panel assess missed chances, set-piece effectiveness, and the recurring importance of timing, movement and decision-making in the final third.There's detailed analysis of individual performances across the pitch, including minutes for returning players, youth involvement, and how certain roles are being managed within Arteta's system. The conversation also touches on discipline, game management, and what Arsenal can — and can't — take forward from a cup tie like this.In the second half, attention turns to the broader picture. The panel react to a major contract renewal, discuss changes behind the scenes at the club, and examine what those shifts could mean for Arsenal's long-term structure. There's also discussion around marginal gains, including set-pieces and throw-ins, and how fine details continue to shape Arteta's approach.The episode closes with a preview of the upcoming Chelsea semi-final, debating selection, rotation versus continuity, and how Arsenal should balance short-term knockout ambition with the demands of a congested fixture schedule.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:53) - Rotation at Fratton Park: Ten Changes and Squad Management(02:08) - Bench Depth, Returns and Youth Opportunities(02:52) - 1-0 | Early Sloppiness and a Wake-Up Call(04:30) - 1-1 | Set-Piece Response and Own Goal Impact(05:16) - Madueke: End Product vs Off-Ball Work(06:06) - 1-2 | Martinelli's First: Near-Post Movement and Set-Piece Value(07:51) - Missed Chances, Confidence and Finishing Debate(09:41) - Penalty Drama and Decision-Making(11:33) - 1-3 | Quick Restart, Game Control and Martinelli's Second(14:07) - 1-4 | Hat-Trick Moment: Corners, Timing and Momentum(15:40) - Substitutions, Returns, Youth Minutes & Stats(18:34) - Nwaneri, Creativity and Role Interpretation(21:20) - Ben White's Performance and Defensive Balance(22:35) - FA Cup Context and Fixture Demands(24:00) - PT.2 Saka Contract Renewal Reaction(27:03) - Per Mertesacker's Departure and Academy Impact(31:13) - Marginal Gains: Throw-Ins and Fine Details(36:21) - Centre-Back Depth and Transfer Speculation(43:27) - Chelsea Semi-Final Preview: Selection and Priorities(48:41) - Havertz Minutes, Rotation and Short-Term Planning(51:57) - Left-Side Balance and Tactical Trade-Offs(57:48) - Final Thoughts and Looking Ahead

Dr. Ashby Monk is the Executive & Research Director of the Stanford Research Initiative on Long-Term Investing. Ashby has studied and advised the largest asset owners in the world for more than twenty years with a particular interest in how to improve outcomes for their beneficiaries and the world. Ash also serves as the Head of Research at Addepar, a fintech company that helps investors make smarter decisions. He has twice appeared on the show – as the 29th guest back in 2017 and again two years ago – and those conversations are replayed in the feed. Our conversation starts with a recent paper Ashby published called Investor Identity: The Ultimate Driver of Returns. We discuss the descriptors of identity and enabling factors that determine each investor's fingerprint. From there, we dive into technology as an enabler and how technological innovation can improve returns. We then turn to ESG investing and another of Ashby's recent papers, Submergence = Drawdown + Recovery, that discusses the importance of considering the combined drawdown and recovery period in making investment decisions.

The following are Dr. Pass' note to his podcast: This week we end 2025 with a Pediheart tradition - an episode on personal finance for medical professionals with noted authority on index investing and personal finance, Mr. Paul Merriman. Paul is a retired investment advisor who now has a popular podcast "Sound Investing" and website in which he offers advice on investing for 'do it yourself' investors. In this week's episode, the 5th of his visits to Pediheart, Mr. Merriman discusses 'factor investing' via index-like ETF's and funds. He also reviews who he believes might benefit from a financial advisor, what sort of advisor most should seek out and why he believes that many do not need one if they can 'stay the course'. Resources mentioned in today's podcast are below. Wishing all a happy and healthy new year in 2026.

What a year it has been, friends and what better way to wrap it up than with the weirdest, coziest, most confusing week of the year: the magical limbo between Christmas and New Year's. Kristin? She lives for this week. Pajamas at noon. Coffee refills. No alarms. JUST KIDDING BUT…she soaks it all in like she's on a tropical vacation… without ever leaving the farm. Danna, on the other hand, is READY. Tree down. Decor boxed. Returns loaded in the car. Let's move along, people. And then there are Kristin's hands, which are mysteriously orange. No, she didn't lose a self-tanner battle, she picked up a new hobby that might surprise you. You'll definitely want to hear how this one happened. Tom also stepped in as the ultimate wingman and whisked Kristin and Bill and Danna off to downtown Cleveland for a night out. The mismatched couples hit the casino, where one half of the 3/4 of them felt strangely at home, even while the house was winning. Let's just say luck showed up but not always in the way you'd expect. They wrapped up the night dining at one of Cleveland's finest restaurants because if you're going to lose money, you might as well eat really well doing it. Meanwhile back at the barn… Willett got a brand new bed for Christmas and yes, it's as dramatic and well-deserved as you're imagining. It's cozy. It's funny. It's chaotic in the best way. So grab your coffee (or your leftover Christmas cookies), hit play, and help us send 2025 out in true Mismatched style. Make this last day of 2025 the best one yet and thanks for being part of our year.
Thanks for watching & Happy New Year!!!

Investigator Dies and Returns, No Longer Fears Death
Welcome back to another hour of digital cynicism. We kick things off with a FOLLOW UP on Amazon's Fallout recaps, which were apparently so hallucination-heavy they made the actual wasteland look organized; naturally, they've been nuked along with the "Video Recaps" feature. In a massive dose of IN THE NEWS, Tesla is finally getting a legal side-eye in California for its deceptive "Autopilot" branding, while TikTok is performing a corporate shell game by selling a 45% stake to Oracle and friends to keep the feds happy. Reddit is fighting Australia's under-16 ban like it's a constitutional crisis, Louisiana's age-verification law just got benched by a judge, and Merriam-Webster officially crowned "slop" as the Word of the Year—which is fitting, given that OpenAI is selectively hiding chat logs from murder-suicides while their Chief Scientist warns that recursive AI self-improvement might end the human experiment by 2030. If the "intelligence explosion" doesn't get us, the CRASH Clock says we've got roughly 2.8 days before Elon's satellite swarm turns low-earth orbit into a permanent scrapyard.In our MEDIA CANDY segment, we mourn the transition year of Star Trek, which was mostly a series of unmitigated disasters and corporate retreats, though the Oscars moving to YouTube in 2029 means we can finally ignore them in 4K. Meta is testing a "pay-to-share-links" feature because they clearly haven't alienated creators enough, and a new study suggests Amazon's "dynamic pricing" is basically just a high-tech way to gouge public school districts for pencils. Moving to APPS & DOODADS, iOS 26.2 is here with a "Liquid Glass" slider—groundbreaking stuff, really—while Microsoft's Copilot+ push is effectively killing the laptop market by making 16GB of RAM a luxury item only a data center could love. Meanwhile, iRobot has officially sucked its last bit of dust into a Chapter 11 filing, proving that even a twenty-year head start can't save you from a 46 percent tariff and better Chinese competition.AT THE LIBRARY, we find out that librarians are ready to quit because people keep demanding books that only exist in a ChatGPT hallucination, proving once again that the "Information Age" was a lie. We descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with the tireless Dave Bittner to discuss why modern movies feel like plastic, the bizarre paradox of James Cameron's Avatar dominance, and a bittersweet farewell to Rob Reiner. We wrap it up with the return of The Muppets, a look at plug-in solar panels for the budget-conscious prepper, and the Sedaris siblings proving that even grief can be a podcast topic. It's all the tech "progress" you never asked for, delivered with the appropriate amount of Gen-X side-eye.Show notes at https://gog.show/727Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hHnGD4lIFzASponsors:MasterClass - Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

The excellent Barrett Brown returns with his account of experiences with the alphabet services, against the media, reporters, the whistle blowers and, above all, the public.For those who don't know, Barrett Brown is an American journalist, essayist, activist and former associate of Anonymous. In 2010, he founded Project PM, a group that used a wiki to analyze leaks concerning the military-industrial complex. It was classified a "criminal organization" by the Department of Justice. After a series of escapades both online and off that brought him in and out of 4chan forums, the halls of power, heroin addiction, and federal prison, Barrett Brown is a free man. He was arrested for his part in an attempt to catalog, interpret, and disseminate top-secret documents exposed in a security lapse by the intelligence contractor Stratfor in 2011. An influential journalist who is also active in the hacktivist collective Anonymous, Brown recounts exploits from a life shaped by an often self-destructive drive to speak truth to power. With inimitable wit and style, palpable anger and conviction, he exposes the incompetence and injustices that plague media and politics, reflects on the successes and failures of the transparency movement, and shows the way forward in harnessing digital communication tools for collective action.His accounts of what has happened to so many who have stood up and said 'this is wrong' should alarm you. Compromised publications, intimidation, extortion and outright lies are being used to shut people up. How people are coerced into going along with things, how some journalists are not giving you the facts you need, and who the apparatus of the intelligence and Governments is actively working against you and your interests.Barrett Brown now lives in Mexico because, as he says 'living under the cartels is safer than living under the current U.S. Government'.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The Greeks and the Jews: How All Wisdom Flows From and Returns to Hashem; Loyalty and Surrender, Not Logic, Define JudaismThis text-based class of the Maamar Mai Chanukah, was said by the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Rebbe Rayatz, on Shabbos Miketz, Shabbos Chanukah, 28 Kislev, 5701, December 28, 1940. The class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Monday, 25 Kislev, 5786, December 15, 2025, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. This incredible discourse explains the conflict of the Greeks against the Jews in our internal heart and mind, and why the focus of the battle was on the oil, representing the inner "fatness," delight, and pleasure that comes from embodying the Divine. The discourse, vivid in language, breaks down how we can sometimes Learn Torah, observe Mitzvos, and yet still be living in the paradigm of the Greeks. The Maamar explores two forms of wisdom, the one that is based on the egoic mind, and the ones that flows from Divine infinity and oness, and returns there.

Today's guest is a dear friend of the show, Andrea Mein DeWitt — Professional Certified Coach (PCC), author, and creator of the transformational Name, Claim & Reframe® methodology. Her bestselling book, Name, Claim & Reframe: Your Path to a Well-Lived Life, was featured on NBC's TODAY Show as the Best Motivational Read of 2023, and is now available as an audiobook, complete with a powerful PDF companion. Congrats to Andrea!! Andrea works with high-achieving leaders navigating challenging relationships, identity shifts, and life transitions — especially the roles we often inherit inside our families. In this deeply moving conversation, she and Yo explore the complicated terrain between daughters and aging mothers, including grief, identity, boundaries, and the “good daughter” narrative many of us have carried for decades. If you've ever felt unseen, responsible, guilty, or stuck in old roles with your mother — especially during moments of caregiving or family gatherings — this episode offers both companionship and real tools for the messy middle. Timing for this episode is perfect with the holidays which adds extra pressure around the good daughter/bad daughter trap! Together, they explore:
We've been through all of the Rankin/Bass adventures of Rudolph and Frosty, so why not check out their adventures as handled by their later rights-holders? First up is Frosty, who, well, Returns in this eco-focused special from the 90s starring John Goodman and various improv talents. It might be nostalgic for some, but looking at it all these years later, does it hold a candle to the original special? And regardless, is it good in its own right? Listen to find out!
When it comes to the risks to financial stability, things seem to have settled down a bit. But with trade tensions, an unpredictable US economic policy, geopolitical issues, a potential AI bubble and the rise of stablecoins, there is plenty to keep an eye on. Has the global environment really become less uncertain? And how do all these factors impact financial stability? To explore these questions and more, our host Paul Gordon speaks with financial stability expert John Fell. The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank. Recorded on 24 November 2025 and published on 27 November 2025. In this episode: 01:25 How stable is the financial system? The EU and the United States reached a trade agreement, and the economic impact of trade uncertainty has been milder than expected. But the full effects of the policy changes are yet to be seen. So, what does this mean for financial stability? 04:14 Is there an AI bubble? The term “AI bubble” is on everyone's lips right now . But bubbles are hard to identify and even harder to differentiate from legitimate growth. So, are valuations stretched? What about market concentration and circular funding in the AI industry? And how exactly are companies funding investment in AI? 06:15 If there is a bubble, what could cause it to burst? There is significant leverage behind AI investments. Returns will largely depend on how widely AI is adopted. Could AI become a general-purpose technology, like the railways did? 08:15 What about the rise of private credit? How do private credit markets differ from equity financing? Why are risks to euro area financial stability increasing as private markets expand? And how does all this relate to systemic risk in the banking sector and the build-up of AI infrastructure? 11:23 Are stablecoins really stable? Despite what the name suggests, stablecoins carry liquidity run risks that could affect financial stability. With rapid growth and increasing links to traditional finance, what risks does this innovation create? 15:11 What's the situation for government financing? Governments have made progress in reducing debt levels since the pandemic. But in some euro area countries, debt remains too high and pressures to increase spending – for instance on defence – are rising. While this poses one of the biggest risks to financial stability, it could also be an opportunity for long-term growth if properly managed. 18:07 What about banks? Given the potential AI bubble, questions around the sustainability of government budgets and the rise in stablecoins, where does this leave euro area banks? Profitability is strong and non-performing loan ratios are historically low. So, how is the banking sector doing overall? 20:13 Our guest's hot tip John Fell shares his hot tip with listeners.

This episode cuts through the noise to explain what's really happening with drought, development, new builds, county policy, and the power struggles shaping the future of Washington County.We start local with the Purgatory jail expansion, why the new medical wing matters, and how it ties into the region's long-term fiscal strategy. Then we shift to housing and builder moves: Lennar tapping the brakes nationally while Pulte picks up new land in Desert Color. The message? The market isn't dead—it's cautious, competitive, and shifting.And yes… water is still the #1 issue.We break down the county's five-stage drought plan, penalties tied to residential connections, what this means for high-use sites like golf courses, and the rising tensions between conservation, affordability, and growth. With the Colorado River negotiations stalled and the Lake Powell pipeline delayed, Washington County is leaning heavily on the Virgin River Basin and price signals to limit demand.We also dig into:• Bill Gates' climate pivot + the energy demands of AI• The myths behind 50-year mortgages and portable loans• What actually helps affordability (first-time buyer aid, tiered rates, zoning reform)• Why Utah's redistricting ruling could reshape representation• Plus: Four open city council seats in Hurricane, Ivins, Santa Clara & St. George—your chance to influence local policy without running a full campaignIf you care about Southern Utah real estate, housing affordability, growth, water policy, politics, or local government, this is the episode you can't miss.
Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce moderates a conversation with our featured author, Wilbur Ross, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce. About the Author: Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. served as Secretary of Commerce in the Trump administration following 55 years of experience in investment banking and private equity. In this capacity, he advised President Donald Trump on commercial and economic affairs and helped American entrepreneurs and businesses create jobs and economic opportunity. A native of North Bergen, New Jersey, Ross spent a significant portion of his business career at Rothschild, Inc. Ross negotiated on behalf of creditors in some of the highest-profile bankruptcy proceedings in history, including those involving Pan Am, TWA, Texaco, and Drexel Burnham Lambert. After founding his own private equity firm in 2000, Ross purchased and restored many companies to profitability, including those in the steel, coal, textile, and banking industries. Over the course of his career, Ross restructured more than $400 billion in assets, earning him a distinguished reputation on Wall Street. In 2011, Bloomberg Markets named him one of the 50 most influential people in global finance. Secretary Ross's philanthropic work has included significant support for the Japan Society, the Brookings Institution, the Blenheim Foundation, and numerous entities devoted to the fine arts, including the Rene Magritte Museum in Brussels. He was also a member of the advisory board of the Yale University School of Management. Secretary Ross is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business School. He and his wife, Hilary Geary Ross, have four children. Before being named President Trump's Secretary of Commerce in 2017, Wilbur Ross had already earned a reputation as the “King of Bankruptcy” over his 55-year career on Wall Street. Often working on high-profile bankruptcies such as Pan Am and Texaco, Ross helped restructure more than $400 billion in assets, and was named among Bloomberg's 50 most influential people in global finance. After coming to Washington, Ross faced equally tough challenges, yet survived in his post for all four years. About The Book: Creating Success in Business and Life explains how Ross got to the top and stayed there. Rising from humble beginnings in North Bergen, New Jersey, Ross applied simple principles with strict discipline—something readers can apply in their own quest for success. Ultimately, Ross's strategies and dealmaking skills led to relationships with King Charles, Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, the Rothschild family, Steve Wynn, Lakshmi Mittal, Mike Milken, and many other famous personalities. Ross also documents his experiences with President Trump in the Oval Office. Whether you're interested in Ross' experiences as a neighbor of John Lennon in the legendary Dakota apartment building, celebrating with Sir Richard Branson on his private island, or his tumultuous time in Washington, you will find Risks and Returns to be a candid reflection of a life lived at the pinnacle of Wall Street, New York, and Palm Beach society, and the Trump administration. Above all, anyone driven to find career success will learn from Ross' life the strategies and mentality to achieve it. Please find out more about Wilbur Ross and his book at www.risksandreturns.net.

What if your investments did more than earn returns—what if they helped shape the culture for good?Today, we'll explore how your money can not only grow but also advance God's purposes in the world. Brian Mumbert joins us from Timothy Plan to share how faith-based investing allows believers to engage the culture with an eternal impact.Brian Mumbert is the President of Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Giving That Flows from FaithAt the heart of Timothy Plan's mission is a conviction that money is not merely a financial tool but a spiritual one. Timothy Partners, Ltd.—the advisor to Timothy Plan—tithes its profits to support ministries aligned with biblical values.Those partnerships reflect a desire to be active on the other side of Timothy Plan's investment screens. In other words, it's not enough to avoid investing in companies that exploit, harm, or oppose biblical principles. True stewardship involves using financial influence to protect life, defend freedom, equip biblical entrepreneurs, and strengthen families.This commitment is not theoretical—it's deeply practical.In Central Florida, Timothy Plan partners with organizations such as Choices Women's Clinic, the area's largest pro-life pregnancy center, as well as House of Hope Orlando and the Orange County Jail Ministry. Nationally, their reach extends through partnerships with organizations like Movieguide and Florida Family Voice.Through the Kairos Prize, Timothy Plan helps fund aspiring Christian filmmakers with seed capital to develop their projects. Another powerful partnership is with the Nehemiah Project, which equips entrepreneurs worldwide to start and grow businesses based on biblical principles.A Legacy of Business as MinistryTimothy Plan's founder, Art Ally, was inspired by the legendary Christian industrialist R.G. LeTourneau, who dedicated 90% of his income to God's work. LeTourneau often said, “I shovel out the money, and God shovels it back—but God's got a bigger shovel.”That philosophy continues to shape Timothy Plan's culture. They see business as ministry, and since we are all stewards of God's money, we want to ensure it has an eternal impact.For many investors, the idea that their portfolio could be shaping the culture might feel new. But as an investor, we really need to understand where our dollars are going. When we invest with a biblical worldview, we're not just seeking a return—we're influencing what gets built, produced, and promoted in our world.This approach aligns with the broader mission of Timothy Plan: to provide investment options that reflect the values of faith-driven investors and to mobilize generosity that brings light into dark places. The impact of this approach is tangible. You can see the joy on their faces and the difference these ministries are making—locally in Central Florida and across the nation.At FaithFi, we share that conviction: when you invest with purpose, your portfolio can do more than generate returns—it can help bring redemption and renewal to our culture.To learn more about biblically responsible investing and how your financial stewardship can make an eternal impact, visit TimothyPlan.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm planning to retire in 2027 and want to move my deferred compensation. How do I go about that? And should I also get life insurance when I retire?My wife and I just bought a home with a 6.188% adjustable-rate mortgage for three years. Should we refinance now into a 30-year fixed, or wait to see if rates come down?I'll start receiving my full Social Security benefits in December. How much can I earn without being taxed on it?Can you explain how your financial approach differs from Dave Ramsey's? And since Social Security had me apply for widow's benefits, will I owe taxes on that income?Should I invest in gold—or a mix of gold and silver—and how would I do that? And what about Bitcoin or other digital currencies? Are they wise investments, and how would I start?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Timothy PlanCharles Schwab | FidelityAn Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God's Purpose for the Next Season of Life by Jeff HaanenWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

What if capitalism itself is confusing your personal finance decisions? In this week's episode, Harvard economist John Y. Campbell joins us to unpack his new book, Fixed: Why Personal Finance Is Broken and How to Make It Work for Everyone, co-authored with Tarun Ramadorai. John argues that the financial system—while essential—is failing ordinary people through complexity, hidden costs, and misplaced incentives. Drawing on decades of research in household finance, he explains why products are too expensive, advice too conflicted, and decisions too difficult, and how policy and design can fix it. Key Points From This Episode: (0:04) Introduction – Rational Reminder's focus on sensible investing and decision-making. (1:46) Why Canadian finance feels broken: complexity, branding, and lack of competition. (4:53) Introducing John Y. Campbell and his new book Fixed. (5:43) The role of the financial system in everyday life: smoothing income, enabling investment, and managing risk. (7:14) The two main problems in modern finance—products are too complicated and too expensive. (9:17) Why financial decisions are so hard: our brains didn't evolve for math, and temptation bias wins. (11:36) How far financial literacy education really helps—and its limits for inequality. (14:26) The “corruption of capitalism”: how capitalists exploit consumer confusion and misperceived value. (18:15) Cross-subsidies: how the mistakes of the poor often subsidize the wealthy. (21:05) Competition only works when consumers can compare price and quality. (22:15) Financial innovation—when technology helps vs. when it deceives. (24:24) Conflicts of interest in advice: why “trusted” advisors often don't act in clients' best interests. (26:26) Why loyal, long-term bank customers often get worse deals. (27:20) The illusion of opting out: why avoiding finance (or choosing crypto) is “jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.” (30:24) The global emergency-savings problem—why volatility hits the poor hardest. (32:26) Is college worth it? Returns, costs, and who actually benefits. (35:47) How to think rationally about buying versus renting a home. (38:16) Housing in retirement—why reverse mortgages make sense but are misunderstood. (40:25) Mortgage mistakes: not shopping, not refinancing, and the racial gap that results. (44:41) Using utility theory to make better insurance and investment choices. (46:55) Principles for investing in stocks: participate, diversify, minimize fees, and ignore short-term noise. (48:24) How real investor behavior deviates from these principles—chasing returns and confusing investing with gambling. (51:17) Insurance mistakes: overinsuring small risks, underinsuring big ones. (54:11) How much to save for retirement—and how most people fall short. (55:40) Lifecycle investing: why target-date funds are good but could be better. (57:56) Why annuities make sense, and how better framing could make them more popular. (59:30) Technology's double edge: lower costs but higher temptation and discrimination. (1:02:17) Lessons from crypto: why stablecoins matter and what regulators should learn. (1:05:26) From nudge to shove: how governments should actively design simpler, safer products. (1:10:02) Where regulation goes too far—and why governments shouldn't run finance directly. (1:13:10) Priority areas for reform: retirement accounts, transaction accounts, and insurance. (1:14:49) The four design principles for a better system: simple, cheap, safe, easy.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest host Claudia Freed, President & CEO of EALGreen, welcome Chuck Johnston, Chief Strategy Officer at ReturnPro, for a deep dive into the “dark side” of supply chain: reverse logistics and returns management. They unpack why returns are a nearly trillion-dollar challenge in the U.S., how BORIS (buy online, return in store) strains store operations, and why many retailers still under-invest: leaders often can't see the full cost across functions or make the ROI case for what's treated as a cost center.Chuck shares how the space has evolved from yellow notepads to data-driven decisioning, highlighting intelligent algorithms that route items at the customer's first return click, fraud mitigation with imaging and behavior signals, and how third-party innovation is compressing software build times. Claudia adds a nonprofit and circularity lens: donation channels, extended tax credits, and AI pilots (computer vision + MCP agents) that identify item condition and slotting in real time. Together, they explore where to start, why cross-functional “ambassadors” matter, and how partnerships across retailers, manufacturers, nonprofits, and 3PLs can turn returns from margin erosion into measurable value and social impact.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(04:03) Warm-up questions and fun facts(05:54) Chuck Johnston's career journey(13:53) Challenges and opportunities in returns management(21:47) Technological innovations in returns management(29:50) AI solutions in inventory management(30:26) Tax benefits and opportunities for companies(31:06) The golden age of supply chain tech(31:44) AI's impact on fraud management(34:44) The debate on more returns vs. fewer returns(37:08) The EU Circular Economy Act(39:18) Returns fraud and data analytics(47:00) The importance of education and ambassadors(49:45) Connecting with industry leaders(52:01) Resources and upcoming eventsResourcesConnect with Chuck Johnston: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-johnston-b07b3b4/ Connect with Claudia Freed: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiafreed/ Connect with Scott Luton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/Learn more about ReturnPro: https://www.returnpro.comDownload a copy of the Returns Report: 2025 Holiday Edition by ReturnPro: https://www.returnpro.com/resources/blog/returns-report-2025-holiday-edition Learn more about EALGreen: https://www.ealgreen.org Register for The Optimized Digital Transformer: Key Concepts for Enhancing Modern Leadership and other upcoming webinars: https://supplychainnow.com/upcoming-live-programming/ Learn more about...
