All anyone wants to talk about right now is Electronic Arts, and reasonably so. The American publishing titan is on the verge of being purchased by external interests for $55 billion, and when we say external, we mean it. The major player in reverting EA to a private corporation is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, muddying this already complex deal that also happens to be the largest leveraged buyout in human history. Perhaps not surprisingly, this gives us much to pontificate on. Other news this week includes rumblings of a DualSense revision with a removable battery, the very real potential that a Prototype remaster is imminent, the wisdom (or perhaps lack thereof) in Forza Horizon 6 skipping PlayStation 5 at launch, and more. We then get into listener inquiries to wrap up the show, as we always do. What are our thoughts on Xbox's staggering Game Pass price hike? How do we feel about Magic: The Gathering's stylish new collaboration with PlayStation? Is Destiny officially on death's door? Will Dustin have a coffee named after him at a cafe in Texas?

After revelations surfaced of his close ties and supportive messages to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Lord Peter Mandelson was dismissed as the UK's ambassador to the United States by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. However, despite being “removed with immediate effect,” reports indicate that the government has not yet formally severed his employment status. As a result, he remains on the payroll and is said to be eligible for compensation, possibly a six-figure package, pending legal or contractual settlement.Separately, the advisory firm Global Counsel, which Mandelson co-founded, has moved to strip him of voting rights and dividends tied to his 21 % stake in the firm, effectively cutting off his financial benefits while it seeks to divest his holdings entirely.

Reflecting, reimagining, and rewriting life after teaching overseas featuring Audrey Forgeron and David Carpenter. About Audrey Forgeron After first heading overseas in 1990 for a short-term teaching contract in Ethiopia, Audrey Forgeron never looked back. Over three decades and seven countries later, international teaching became both a career and a lifestyle; one filled with rich cultural experiences, global classrooms, and summers back home in Vermont. Now semi-retired and working as a life coach, Audrey has turned her love of storytelling and travel into a new adventure: podcasting. With co-host David Carpenter, she explores life after international education, sharing insights, stories, and inspiration for those considering new chapters—whether that means pivoting careers or embracing retirement. LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/aforgeron About David Carpenter David Carpenter brings decades of international school experience to the podcast, having started his overseas teaching journey in Israel in 1990. Since then, the landscape of global education has shifted dramatically with rapid school growth, post-pandemic changes, and evolving educator needs. David is passionate about helping both aspiring and current international educators make informed decisions about their lives abroad. An experienced podcaster, David co-founded the Shifting Our Schools podcast in 2008 with Jeff Utecht and later teamed up with Dr. Mark Hofer for a second education-focused podcast, the Ed Tech Co-Op. A longtime blogger and digital resource creator, David enjoys building tools and communities that support learning and well-being. Working with Audrey Forgeron on their Educators Going Global Learning Hub & Podcast is, in his words, “a joy and a privilege”—a chance to share stories, explore big questions, and give back to the international education community.

Why Clinic Directors Leave for Staff Roles in Cash-Based PT Clinics In this solo episode, Doc Danny Matta dives into a surprising trend: why clinic directors in high-volume corporate practices are stepping away from leadership roles to take staff positions in cash-based clinics. Drawing from real conversations with clinicians, Danny outlines the trade-offs, hidden advantages, and how owners can use this to attract top talent. Episode Summary The scenario: A former clinic director left a high-volume corporate setting to join a cash-based clinic as a staff PT. Danny's perspective: Having lived through high-volume burnout himself, he understands the trade-offs firsthand. Three main drivers: Work-life balance, career longevity, and clinical satisfaction. Hiring insight: Not every candidate is motivated purely by money—culture and lifestyle can be stronger magnets. The owner's role: Competitive pay plus clear growth opportunities help retain ambitious clinicians. Key Takeaways Work-life balance matters: Lower volume means more energy left for family and life outside the clinic. Career longevity: Cash-based settings reduce burnout, helping PTs stay in the profession longer. Clinical satisfaction: Freedom to deliver care at the highest level leads to more fulfillment. Compensation must be “good enough”: Salaries should be close to in-network staff PT rates, not predatory commission-heavy models. Growth pathways: Talented hires want to see opportunities to step into leadership as the clinic expands. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Ask interviewees about their life goals, not just clinical experience. Benchmark compensation to local staff PT salaries—not clinic director pay. Highlight work-life balance as a superpower of your model. Share your long-term vision—show candidates where they can grow with you. Prioritize culture fit: team members work with you, not for you. Notable Quotes “Work-life balance is your superpower. Don't leave it off the table in interviews.” “For many clinicians, lower volume isn't about making less—it's about being able to go home with energy left for family.” “If you can match staff PT pay and provide growth, you'll never struggle to hire talent.” Action Items Review your comp structure—does it compare to local staff PT rates?

Ashley Hamilton had every card stacked against her in achieving financial freedom. She was a single mother with two children, earning just $20,000 per year working as a waitress, living in Detroit, one of the hardest-hit markets following the Great Financial Crisis. Sixteen years later, she's making $50,000 per month in pure cash flow (and she has the receipts to prove it)! In Detroit, foreclosures were running rampant, houses were being repossessed left and right, but what could she do with almost no disposable income? Thanks to a $6,000 tax refund check, Ashley did what everyone told her not to do—buy a house during the crash. Fortune favors the bold, and Ashley was soon making $7,000 per year in cash flow from a single property. It was time to repeat the system and buy more rentals. With each tax refund, a new property was acquired, and get this—without using a mortgage. Ashley scaled fast thanks to her super-saver mentality, and now makes more passive income in one month than many people do in a year. She's done it all with fewer rental properties, striving to have more cash flow instead of more doors. She's walking through her portfolio, breaking down which properties make the most, and how to scale beyond financial freedom, no matter your starting point. In This Episode We Cover How to invest in real estate even if you have a low salary and little disposable income Why you don't need a massive real estate portfolio for financial freedom The best piece of advice Ashley gives to new real estate investors The secret to scaling your real estate portfolio that 99% of people will ignore Breaking the generational poverty curse and giving your kids a greater life And So Much More!

Salary budgets are tightening — but strategy doesn't have to. Payscale's 10th Annual Salary Budget Survey reveals that planned pay increases for 2026 are dipping slightly from 2025, with economic uncertainty replacing competition for talent as the top driver of budget changes. But even in a cooling pay environment, HR and comp pros have a window to realign strategy before Q4 — if they have the right data in hand. In this episode of Comp and Coffee, host Ruth Thomas sits down with Amy Stewart, Payscale's Principal of Research & Insights, and Kathryn Gombos, HR & Total Rewards Leader and Founder of Gombos Group. Together, they unpack the latest salary budget trends, explore what's behind the shifts, and share how organizations can use these insights to plan smarter, communicate with confidence, and navigate survey season without burning out. 2025–2026 Payscale Salary Budget Survey - https://www.payscale.com/featured-content/salary-budget-survey-sbs Email: coffee@payscale.com for listener questions and suggestions
