Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives
Journaling is not about filling pages. It is about going somewhere you have not been before. And the quality of where you end up is almost entirely determined by the quality of the question you start with. In this episode I reframe journaling as a practice of radical self-inquiry rather than a diary or a gratitude list. I share a collection of less obvious questions worth sitting with, including what am I pretending not to know, what feeling do I keep avoiding and what is it trying to tell me, and what story am I telling about this situation that may not actually be true. I also offer practical ways to build the habit so it actually sticks. What you get out of journaling is largely what you bring to the depth of the question and the honesty of the answer. It is not always fun. It is revealing. And that is the whole point. Want to keep going?

Are we taking our incredible lifestyle for granted?
An energy that repels wealth is control. And that's a mindfuck because so many of us have control issues around money — we think if we can control the amount coming in and the amount going out, it creates safety. But energetically, you're holding your hands closed with white knuckles. And if your hands are closed, you can't receive.In this episode I'm talking about the illusion of control, why trying to control exactly where every dollar comes from is blocking your receiving, and the story of how my meticulously planned 10-year life plan (thank god) didn't work out. This is about opening your palms and letting go.Key Takeaways:Why control repels wealth (even though it feels like safety)The white knuckle grip: if your hands are closed, you can't receiveWhy I never put all my eggs in one basket (money can come from anywhere)The illusion of control: you try to plan every detail and the cards never fall that way anywayMy story: the 10-year plan I made in high school that thank god didn't happenWhat's on the other side of letting go is so much better than you could conceptualizeYour job is to position yourself to receive — not to control how it comesScaling to multiple 6-figures?

In an apples-to-apples comparison of GDP per capita, eight of Canada's ten provinces are poorer than nearly all U.S. states. But how much can GDP really tell us? Is most of Canada really poorer in any meaningful sense than Kansas?Two writers, Jeff Reimer, a Kansan and senior editor at Comment, and Brian Dijkema, the Ontario-based president of Cardus, journeyed to both locations to find out. They join guest host Chris Griswold to recount their travels, discuss the quality-of-life context that GDP can't measure, and make sense of the similarities, and key differences, on each side of the border.Further reading:“Is Kansas Really Richer than Canada?” Jeff Reimer, Commonplace“Is Canada Really Poorer than Kansas?” Brian Dijkema, Commonplace

What if the good life isn't hiding in some grand achievement, perfect mood, or future version of yourself—but in the ordinary moments you're already rushing past? Today, we're pairing Ian Bogost's The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life with Cuong Lu's Happiness Is Overrated: Simple Lessons on Finding Meaning in Each Moment, two books that gently challenge our obsession with happiness. Bogost invites us back into the sensory pleasures of the physical world; Lu, drawing on years as a Buddhist monk under Thich Nhat Hanh, points toward meaning, suffering, and connection. Together, they ask: what if this moment is already enough?
What if getting laid off wasn't the end of your story, but the beginning of building a business no one could take away? If you've ever wondered whether you're truly "good enough" to charge premium prices, Nicole McMann's journey will remind you that confidence isn't something you're born with, it's something you build. This week on the Joycast, Baltimore photographer Nicole McMann shares how losing her nonprofit job pushed her to finally pursue the photography business she'd been putting off for years. Starting without paying clients or a portfolio, she trusted the process, landed her first family session, and walked away from her ordering appointment with a $9,568 sale and a whole new belief in herself. ● How trusting a proven process helped her overcome fear and charge premium prices with confidence ● The mindset shift that turned self-doubt into a $9,500 family portrait sale ● Why building skills no one can take away creates freedom far beyond photography If you've been waiting until you feel "ready," this conversation is the reminder you need. Your next chapter doesn't start when everything is perfect. It starts the moment you decide to believe that your work, and your future, are worth investing in.

Most people assume that compassion and economic prosperity pull in opposite directions. The Torah says they don't. God's design presents an economic vision built on interest-free loans, debt cancellation, and other commandments that seem, at first glance, to be acts of compassion alone. But economist Dr. Meir Tamari argues that they are also sound economic policy. By helping people remain independent instead of trapped in poverty, the Torah reduces the need for charity, preserves dignity and self-worth, strengthens the entire economy, and creates greater prosperity for everyone - rich and poor alike. God's commandments are not only morally right. They are designed to help human beings and human societies flourish.

David breaks down signing New Edition with $900 to his name, then the fallout years later: a federal grand jury testimony against his best friend, Fugees co-founder Pras Michel, tied to fugitive financier Jho Low, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Obama campaign money — plus the jail stint and divorce that cost him everything.

Synopsis Épisode d'été chargé, avec Patrick, Francis, Steve et Richer. On ouvre fort : un système de gestion de l'eau d'une ville québécoise a été piraté par un groupe russophone, une information confirmée dans le rapport annuel du Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications. Quelle ville? On ne le sait toujours pas. Et pendant ce temps, les municipalités n'ont ni le budget ni le monde pour se défendre. On parle aussi du CST qui a mené des cyberopérations offensives ayant dérangé des réseaux criminels, de l'Environmental Protection Agency américaine qui a créé une section dédiée à la cybersécurité de l'approvisionnement en eau — pendant qu'Ottawa et Québec regardent ailleurs — et du site web d'une usine de traitement d'eau retiré en panique après notre dernier épisode. Ensuite, gros morceau : les bornes de recharge Flo du Circuit électrique, leur interface web exposée, leurs cartes d'accès, et ce qui arrive quand un chercheur qui divulgue devient l'ennemi à abattre plutôt qu'un allié. On finit avec l'avis conjoint sur le durcissement des routeurs exposés à Internet, la cyber-hygiène IoT à la maison, un négociateur de rançongiciels qui travaillait en fait pour les attaquants, et une discussion franche sur le burn-out en cybersécurité. On dit « 0x296 » à l'audio, mais il s'agit bien de l'épisode 0x297. On a perdu le compte
We are now recording an audio version of written posts that we will upload to Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, which you can listen to by clicking the play button above.We conclude our month long series on Strait of Hormuz (SoH) Crisis takeaways with a look at what this conflict means for the related topics of sustainability, climate, and the environment.Three key messages this week:* Many proponents and opponents of “Net Zero” are drawing the wrong conclusions about what this war means for different energy sources and technologies. Energy's natural hierarchy of needs applied at the country level mean the optimal mix of various energy sources and technologies will vary for any given country—a reality the crisis reinforces.* The topic of Sustainability needs to be right-sized and recognized for where it fits into corporate level strategies. Companies exist to generate growth and profitability for investors. Certain sustainability objectives are core to being successful over the long run. Sustainability is not a strategy in and of itself.* We shall offer free advice on what hyperscalers can learn from the oil & gas industry.We are going to do our best to not rehash our now well-known pushbacks on the excesses of the 2020-23 “Net Zero” era. The madness of that period we don't think ever returns, no matter who wins the US presidency in 2028. But we do get the question—and we are appreciative of those of you that ask—how does sustainability, climate, and the environment factor into our outlook for the energy sector, public policy, and corporate strategy and how does the SoH Crisis change or impact the views we have been articulating?We will start with a grounding on how we think about environmental and climate considerations. Our title gives it away: increasing global prosperity is our centering point, both for countries and companies. In terms of our concern level around the need to address climate change, we would characterize our specific climate opinions as broadly consistent with US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and former University of Colorado professor and Substack author (here) Roger Pielke Jr.At the country level, energy's natural hierarchy of needs that we frequently discuss is observably all any country cares about at all times (Exhibit 1). Abundant and reliable energy is a 24/7/365 pre-requisite. It needs to be affordable the vast bulk of the time. Country leaders care about geopolitical security in order to protect reliability and affordability. Clean air and clean water are 100% correlated with societal wealth. Addressing carbon emissions goes hand-in-hand with a maximum prosperity scenario where billion person-scale economies like China and India are highly motivated to crack the code on new energy technologies that are de facto lower in carbon intensity. Pretending that society and companies can be forced onto prescriptive “Paris-aligned Net Zero by 2050 pathways” was the fatal flaw of the 2020-2023 era.For companies, the only goal is to generate competitive returns and growth for shareholders. Sustainability exists at the level of community engagement, license to operate, and as a possible alternative to government regulation. It is a component of running a company similar to many other functions; it is not a strategy in its own right (e.g., pressuring oil & gas companies to transition business models in the name of addressing climate change never made sense).With that grounding, we are going to use a Q&A styled format to address how we think the related topics of sustainability, climate, and the environment will be impacted by the Strait of Hormuz Crisis.Exhibit 1: Energy's natural hierarch of needsSource: Veriten.Subscribe to Super-Spiked to receive all content via email. Also available on https://veriten.com.Q1: Does the SoH Crisis mean that the core tenet of Net Zero by 2050—which was to switch out of crude oil, natural gas, and coal into renewables, EVs, and other new tech—was correct after all?No. It does not. Our issue with Net Zero by 2050, or any other year for that matter, is that it incorrectly treats carbon emissions as the organizing principle for economic activity. It is not nor will it ever be, irrespective of how much (or little) concern any specific leader or group of citizens has about climate. There is nothing about the Strait of Hormuz Crisis that suddenly makes Net Zero pathways more relevant.Q2: So the opponents to Net Zero are correct that renewables and other new technologies are a boondoggle that plays on climate alarmism?No. It does not mean that either. The focus on non-oil, natural gas, and coal technologies will be driven by the massive unmet energy needs of the other 7 billion people on Earth that seek their own version of the prosperous lifestyles The Lucky 1 Billion of us take for granted. A specific view on climate is largely irrelevant to technology development. Reliability, affordability, and geopolitical security are the motivations to figure out new technologies. We are seeing this in real time in places like China and other Asian countries.Q3: Are there examples of countries that are adjusting away from a prior emphasis on Net Zero pathways as a result of geopolitical turmoil?We are optimistic about Norway and Canada, as two countries that are showing signs of appropriate course corrections. In the case of Norway, as a small, wealthy country, de facto mandating 100% EVs in order to not burn gasoline for consumer transportation is a choice they are free to make. More importantly, Norway is remembering that increasing oil and natural gas supply from the Norwegian North Sea is critically important to the geopolitical security and economic health of Norway, Europe, and its allies. Norway is also the home to a vibrant community of new technology companies. More oil, more natural gas, and investing in new technologies—yes!Canada's post Trudeau pivot away from Net Zero zealotry seems as much of a reaction to unfavorable rhetoric toward the country from President Trump than necessarily a recognition of how little sense it made for Canada to pursue energy policies that sought to limit the development of its massive oil sands and natural gas resources. Still, we will accept the directional improvement under PM Carney, irrespective of the apparent motivations.Long-time Super-Spiked subscribers know how critically important we believe energy and power integration between the United States and Canada is, making the recent political schism deeply unfortunate, even as it has seemingly improved energy policy decision making in Canada. The United States is economically and geopolitically stronger thanks to our close energy integration with Canada. The same is true for Canada. We credit our friend, former colleague, and current Deputy Secretary of Commerce Paul Dabbar for the idea that US + Canada + Norway would make for an outstanding trans-Atlantic alliance of energy and technology super powers (here).Q4: What else does geopolitical turmoil reveal about where the Net Zero mindset went wrong?The practical application of Net Zero by 2050 policies in many rich-world countries, states, and provinces has been to restrict domestic oil, natural gas, and coal production, mandate the use of new technologies, all while losing competitiveness in manufacturing and business more broadly. Restricting domestic energy supply, making energy prices uncompetitive, and offshoring industrial manufacturing should not be the objective of any country, state, or province. It is without question bad for geopolitical security, bad for domestic economic growth, and bad for the environment.Rather, we recommend a play on the George Castanza (Seinfeld) line (here): Show me an energy policy strategy that does the opposite. The litmus test is which country's energy and environmental policies come with competitive energy prices and business and manufacturing growth?The United Kingdom versus China is case in point. U.K. leaders have spoken glowingly about eliminating coal from their power sector and all but ending viability of the U.K. North Sea for oil and gas exploration. Yet, the country also faces the outsourcing and offshoring of its refining, petrochemical, and broader industrial base. To be clear, the U.K.'s policy challenges are not limited solely to its energy and climate policies, but those are foundational and almost certainly a meaningful contributing factor.We contrast the U.K. with China which has dramatically increased coal-fired power generation, renewables, nuclear, natural gas, and grown its domestic oil supply while building a massive strategic petroleum reserve. China is now manufacturer to the world with improving living standards for its citizens. The U.K. being on-track, or not, for domestic Net Zero is completely irrelevant to global emissions and, if anything, has been net negative for the climate given China's higher emissions profile. It has certainly been a negative for the economic competitiveness of the U.K.Q5: What are the takeaways from the Strait of Hormuz Crisis for corporate sustainability objectives?Our biggest takeaway is that sustainability is a component of running a successful company, but not a defining objective. It has generally been overstated in importance, especially by a segment of the finance world in Europe and the United States that has pushed for these objectives to gain in prominence. Companies don't exist for “sustainability.” It never made any sense to pressure oil & gas companies, as an example, to aggressively transition to low-carbon technologies in the name of Net Zero and sustainability. Companies exist to generate competitive profitability and growth for investors. Full stop.In order to generate long-term profitability and growth, various sustainability objectives (industry and company specific) for sure need to be met. Employee health and safety is at the top of the list along with ensuring the surrounding community to a given asset is also not harmed. Community engagement is core to any company's license to operate, especially when new growth plans are being pursued. The ultimate list is longer than what is mentioned here, but the point is that this area broadly does not separately merit high profile attention any more than do other critical corporate functions like human resources, legal, cybersecurity, treasury, and so forth. They all contribute to running a successful company.Q6: What are some contemporary examples of “sustainability” objectives you believe need to be addressed?Examples of current sustainability issues that we believe should be proactively addressed (not intended to be an exhaustive list):* Water disposal in the Permian Basin and water usage by AI datacenters are hot button issues that communities understandably want answers to.* We have long supported and continue to support near zero methane flaring/venting objectives for the oil & gas industry. This is a topic we have been pleasantly surprised to see the environmental community focus on globally rather than more narrowly just in the United States, Canada, or Europe, as is often the case with activists. We were also pleased to see the progress US companies have made in recent years per the World Bank (Exhibit 1).Exhibit 2: US producers have reduced flaring intensitySource: World Bank* We believe oil & gas, power sector, and hyperscaler/data center companies all have room for improvement in proactively engaging with the public on their industries, how they contribute to jobs, taxes, and economic development. It is the rare executive that is capable of speaking in normal, human, non-corporate speak language.In contrast, we do not believe a company's carbon emissions profile is relevant to its “license to operate” in a given community—a point often pushed by those advocating most loudly for Net Zero policies. No normal human being anywhere spends any time thinking about this. Putting activists aside, no regular person is protesting an oilfield or data center due to its carbon emissions intensity. Water impacts? Yes. Noise? Yes. Particulate pollution? Yes. Traffic? Yes. Carbon emissions? Give me a break.Q7: What should companies do with previously articulated Net Zero objectives?Pragmatically speaking, we recognize the significant pressure companies around the world were under during 2020-2023 to articulate company-specific “Net Zero by 2050” objectives. That said, very few if any could possibly have met those goals, since the wider world has never been even remotely on track for Net Zero be it by 2050 or any other year. The Strait of Hormuz Crisis and general geopolitical turmoil is helping more politicians and policy makers recognize that healthy energy policy starts and stops with reliability and affordability. In the interest of being transparent and sincere, companies should be truthful about whether sticking with prior Net Zero aspirations is something they actually think is (1) in the best interest of their companies and (2) is possible on any time horizon that can be modeled today.Q8: What can hyperscalers learn from the oil & gas industry?Key lessons:* You will never appease climate activists. Focus on optimizing for growth and profitability.* Your prior Net Zero objectives never had a chance of being achieved, especially if including so-called scope 3 emissions. Net Zero does not make sense at the individual company level.* Economic development, of which the technology sector today is a huge driver, is 100% correlated with clean air and clean water. Richer societies are better equipped than poorer regions to adapt to a broad range of environmental and climate issues. Americans and the wider world is overall better off that our leading technology companies exist in a similar way that we are fortunate to have healthy, vibrant, and profitable energy and power companies.* Speak sincerely and directly to the general public and the communities where you are investing about the actual impacts of your projects. You can't outsource this function. It starts with the CEO and then filters down. Skip the corporate speak and language of appeasement.* Vocally push back on policies that weaken domestic energy development opportunities in any region in which you are investing.⚡️On A Personal Note: Gone Shootin'The last time I shot a gun was in the 4th grade in what was then called Indian Guides. That almost certainly is not the name today; I think in New Jersey it is now called “Adventure Guides” which frankly is kind of lame. I believe we appropriately remembered and honored Native Americans under the original name, but society apparently disagrees with that perspective. Credit to my wife's brother's wife, who hails from the Golden State of all places, for the brilliant idea to go clay pigeon shooting during our vacation last week to The Cotswolds, about 2 hours west of London.Boy was that fun!!! We had a great instructor, Patrick I think was his name—not a fan of London or Londoners apparently; a country guy that was local to the area. There were six in our group. My brother-in-law, his wife and son, and my two daughters. All first timers. All of us successfully hit those crazy clay pigeons popping up in the field. Great job Patrick! Great job in-laws and daughters!I definitely need to practice. I had some beginners luck on the initial six shells, I want to say with five successful strikes on the ones going straight up in the air. But the ones that were flying away from us gave me more trouble and I was consistently low-left and a bit early. It was oddly tiring. A shot gun is definitely heavier than a golf club. As a second hobby, it's a keeper. Seems safter than pickleball as a golf complement.⚖️ DisclaimerI certify that these are my personal, strongly held views at the time of this post.

Synopsis Le retour de Richer! Avec Patrick, Francis et Jacques, on se demande pourquoi la technologie s'invite dans nos affaires sans jamais demander la permission : des caméras infrarouges dans les prochains AirPods pour donner des yeux à Siri, de l'IA poussée dans le fond de la gorge à chaque mise à jour, et un buzz grandissant pour les téléphones « zen », les écrans e-ink et le retour à l'analogique — jusqu'au flip phone Callback 8020 de Commodore, sans navigateur ni réseaux sociaux. Ensuite ça brasse : l'AI-washing dans les startups — payer des tokens pour ce qu'un script Python de dix lignes ferait aussi bien —, les 97 % d'applications vibe-codées qui meurent dans leur première année faute de soutien, et la grande question de la souveraineté numérique canadienne : autonomie réelle ou rêve pieux? Le sujet d'opinion revient sur nos fleurons vendus aux Américains — Element AI passé chez ServiceNow, les talents formés à Mila qui migrent au sud — et sur ce que ça veut dire de partir une entreprise ici. La démonstration du jour arrive d'ailleurs toute cuite : Washington ordonne à Anthropic de couper l'accès à Fable 5 et Mythos 5 pour tout ressortissant étranger, trois jours après leur lancement. On termine avec les face scans au Royaume-Uni, l'interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 16 ans, le débat sur l'anonymat en ligne, les 3,5 G$ de fraude par usurpation rapportés par la FTC, et une statistique qui fait mal : une cinquantaine d'entreprises québécoises par année ferment à cause d'un rançongiciel — et on n'en entend jamais parler.

Trump's Truth Social posts can move markets — and now a new service is giving traders faster access to high-ranking accounts. The move is sparking debate over Wall Street advantages, market access, and whether this creates an unfair edge for investors.
With the upcoming Midterm elections and the balance of power in Congress up for grabs, people are concerned that the Trump administration will meddle in election results. On today's show, guest host Tony Castañeda speaks with election expert Stephen Richer, who says we should have confidence in the free and fair elections process that our local election officials oversee. In Richer's recent article for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he reaffirms the 2020 presidential election results in Wisconsin. There were several post-election audits that found no cheating or mass fraud. But Richer's criticism of a Trump supporting group's audit of the 2020 Maricopa County election results earned him the ire of the President and MAGA supporters. There are real concerns coming from the federal government, from Trump's executive orders on election administration that are held up in the courts to the scaling back of cyber security services that are provided to election administrators. Richer says that the success and security of primary elections this year is a good sign, and he encourages listeners to get involved as temporary election workers, share facts with their friends and family, and reach out to election administrators if you have concerns. At the end of the day, election officials are your neighbors, and we should be concerned not only by the lack of trust in free and fair elections but by the lack of trust in our communities. Stephen Richer is a Fellow and Lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School, Legal Fellow at the Cato Institute, former elected Republican in Maricopa County, and former lawyer. He's also on the board of the Democracy Defenders Action. Featured image of a ballot machine via Flickr (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0). Did you enjoy this story?

President Trump's surprise announcement of a 50% tariff on Canadian imports has ignited fierce debate across financial markets, political circles, and international trade. Critics warn of higher prices, inflation, and the possibility of a damaging trade war. But is there another side to the story that many in the mainstream media aren't discussing?In this episode of On The Record with Christian Briggs, Christian breaks down why these tariffs may represent something far larger than a simple tax on imported goods. Instead, he argues they are part of a broader economic strategy designed to reshape America's trade relationships, rebuild domestic manufacturing, strengthen national security, and force trading partners back to the negotiating table.Christian explains why he believes decades of uneven trade agreements have placed American workers, farmers, and manufacturers at a disadvantage while foreign competitors benefited from subsidized exports and restrictive trade policies. Using Canada as the latest example, he examines controversial barriers involving dairy, agriculture, and other industries that he argues have created an unbalanced economic relationship. The discussion also tackles one of the biggest concerns surrounding tariffs: inflation. Rather than viewing temporary price increases as a permanent burden, Christian compares them to an investment—accepting short-term economic discomfort in exchange for long-term gains through stronger domestic production, reduced trade deficits, and expanded export opportunities. He also explains why foreign manufacturers often absorb part of the tariff themselves by lowering prices in order to remain competitive, reducing the impact on American consumers. Perhaps most intriguing is Christian's analysis of President Trump's negotiating style. Drawing comparisons to previous international disputes, he argues that aggressive tariff announcements are often less about collecting revenue and more about creating leverage. By raising the stakes early, the administration seeks to accelerate negotiations that ultimately produce more favorable trade agreements for the United States rather than prolonged economic conflict. Whether you view tariffs as economic protectionism or strategic diplomacy, this episode explores one of the most consequential questions facing the global economy today: Are these policies risking America's future—or laying the foundation for a new era of economic strength?

Most e-commerce brands are chasing AI the wrong way. They're publishing AI-generated blogs. Stuffing their sites with keywords. Obsessing over prompts. And wondering why nothing changes. Meanwhile, some brands are quietly growing their organic revenue by 30-40% year over year without relying on hacks or chasing the latest AI trend. The difference? They understand that AI hasn't replaced SEO. It's changed how people discover businesses. In this episode, Colin Ma breaks down the exact playbook he's using to grow established e-commerce brands through the combination of traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). He explains why real customer questions are now one of the biggest competitive advantages, how a simple change to your collection pages can unlock entirely new traffic, and why optimizing your Google Merchant Center feed can drive thousands of additional clicks, often in just a couple of months. But the conversation goes well beyond rankings. Colin also shares how AI has completely transformed his workflow, allowing him to produce the work of an entire agency without sacrificing quality. From using Claude to analyze thousands of customer emails in minutes to building SEO assets that once took weeks, he reveals where AI actually creates leverage and where trusting it blindly can become an expensive mistake. If you're running an e-commerce brand, buying online businesses, or trying to figure out what SEO looks like in the AI era, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can apply immediately.

Bonds Continue to Demonstrate Their Value While much of the attention has centered on stocks, the bond market has quietly delivered strong performance over the past two years. Bonds remain an important component of diversified portfolios because they help reduce risk, generate income, and provide stability during periods of market uncertainty. Since October 19, 2023, the total returns across the 11 major bond indices have been notably strong. That date marked the recent peak in the 10-year Treasury yield, which closed at 4.99%. Since then, Treasury yields have fluctuated significantly, falling to 3.62% in September 2024 before climbing back to approximately 4.5% in July 2026. Even with those fluctuations, today’s yield remains below the 2023 peak. Because bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of yields, declining benchmark yields have supported positive returns across much of the fixed income market. Several bond sectors have produced returns exceeding 20% during this period. Looking ahead, inflation and Federal Reserve policy will continue to play an important role in bond performance. Monitoring these factors will help determine how bonds continue to support clients’ long-term investment strategies. Inflation Shows Encouraging Signs of Normalization The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report provided an encouraging surprise. Monthly CPI declined by 0.4%, meaning prices actually fell during the month. This is significant because inflation discussions often focus on prices increasing at a slower rate rather than prices declining outright. Typically, inflation “coming down” simply means prices are still rising, but at a slower pace. This latest report was different. Consumers experienced actual price declines, something not seen on a monthly basis since the COVID era and a relatively rare occurrence over the past decade. Much of the decline was driven by lower gasoline prices following easing energy markets after geopolitical tensions earlier in the summer. Although oil prices have recently moved higher again, they remain well below previous peaks, suggesting that the recent decline may represent what a more normalized energy environment could look like. Perhaps even more encouraging was the strength of consumer spending. Retail sales increased by 0.22% during the same month that prices declined. When adjusted for lower inflation, consumers effectively purchased approximately 0.62% more goods and services than the previous month. This is an important distinction. During periods of rising energy prices, households often spend more filling their gas tanks while reducing purchases elsewhere, a phenomenon economists call demand destruction. Instead, the latest data indicates consumers continued spending across the broader economy while benefiting from lower prices. Although one report does not establish a long-term trend, the combination of falling prices and healthy consumer demand offers a positive glimpse into how the economy could perform as inflation continues to moderate. The outlook remains favorable for consumers, financial markets, and interest rates if this broader normalization continues.

Michael explores new financial disclosures showing President Trump's extraordinary gains from crypto ventures and other business interests while serving in office, prompting a broader debate about presidential ethics, public accountability, and partisan perception. Drawing on reporting from The Washington Post, a Wall Street Journal editorial, and commentary from Mark Halperin, Smerconish asks whether concerns about a president profiting while in office have become a purely partisan issue—or whether Americans have simply grown numb to political self-enrichment.

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, acting as a cornerstone for meaningful relationships. It allows individuals to connect on a deeper emotional level, facilitating better communication and mutual respect. By stepping into another person's shoes, we gain insight into their experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Yet we seem to be losing our ability to have empathy for others, getting lost in being self-absorbed & scrolling.

Most people think you get rich first, and working less is the reward. What if that's completely backward? In 2009, I was broke. On food stamps. A brand new dad, no job, just starting a business out of a spare bedroom. And a mentor told me to do something that sounded completely insane: stop working one day a week. Indefinitely. Not after I made it. Not once business was steady. Right now, while I had nothing. I thought he was crazy. I did it anyway. And it became the single decision that changed everything about how my business grew from there.

Have you ever looked around and wondered why, even in a world more connected than ever, so many of us still feel lonely? I think most of us long for friendships that are genuine relationships where we're known, encouraged, challenged, and loved. Yet building those kinds of friendships can feel harder than ever. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with my sweet friend, Becky Harling, about her book, Friendwise. Our conversation reminded me that friendship isn't just a nice addition to life—it's one of God's good gifts. We were created for meaningful relationships that strengthen our faith, encourage our hearts, and point us back to Christ. In this episode, we discuss:• Why friendship is essential for our spiritual, emotional, and even physical health.• Practical wisdom from the book of Proverbs for cultivating lasting relationships.• How to navigate boundaries, vulnerability, forgiveness, and conflict with grace.• Why comparison and competition quietly destroy friendships—and how celebrating one another brings freedom.• Simple ways to become the kind of friend we're all hoping to find. Sometimes the first step toward deeper connection is simply reaching out, asking someone to coffee, listening well, and loving intentionally. If you've been feeling lonely, disconnected, or simply longing for richer relationships, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart and give you practical, biblical wisdom for building friendships that last.
