Nuveen zahlt knapp 10 Milliarden Pfund für Schroders – was steckt hinter diesem Megadeal? Malte Dreher und Christoph Fröhlich erklären, warum diese Übernahme anders ist als andere und was sie für die kommende Konsolidierungswelle im europäischen Asset Management bedeutet. In dieser Episode sprechen wir über tektonische Verschiebungen in der Branche: Während JP Morgan 500 Millionen Dollar jährlich in IT investiert, kämpfen kleine Boutiquen um ihre Existenz. Ist das Ende der Spezialisten gekommen – oder gerade ihre große Chance? Malte nimmt uns außerdem mit nach Kolding in Dänemark, wo er Global Evolution besucht hat, eine Rentenfonds-Boutique, die sich auf Frontier Markets spezialisiert. Warum bieten diese 103 Länder stabilere Renditen als klassische Schwellenländer? Und warum investiert dort kaum jemand? Plus: Die überraschenden Zahlen von Scope zeigen, dass 2025 deutlich mehr aktive Manager ihren Index schlagen konnten. Ist das eine echte Trendwende oder nur ein gutes Jahr? Und was bedeutet das für die Zukunft von ETFs versus aktivem Management? Eine Episode über Megadeals, Mikronischen und die Frage, wohin sich die Finanzbranche bewegt.

Send a textAutonomy sounds like progress until the system turns your choices against you. We dive into how AI agents change the risk equation, why “don't trust, verify” now beats “trust but verify,” and what to do when the update button itself becomes the attack vector.We start with the Ivy League leak tied to Harvard and UPenn, where attackers exposed admissions hold notes that map influence rather than credit cards. That context turns routine records into leverage for extortion, social pressure, and geopolitical targeting. From there, we trace the surge of agentic AI in the workplace as employees paste code, legal docs, and sensitive files into chat interfaces. The real accelerant is MCP, the model context protocol that standardizes connections across Google Drive, Slack, databases, and more. Like USB for AI, MCP makes integration simple and powerful, but a single prompt injection can pivot across everything the agent can reach.Security gets messier with supply chain compromise. A China‑nexus campaign allegedly hijacked the Notepad++ update mechanism, handing a bespoke backdoor to developers who did the right thing. We unpack how to keep patching while reducing risk: signed updates, independent checksum checks, tight egress policies for updaters, and strong monitoring around update flows. On the policy front, Rhode Island's vendor transparency rule forces companies to name who buys data. It is a nutrition label for privacy, and it lets users and watchdogs finally connect the dots between friendly interfaces and aggressive brokers.We close with concrete defenses that raise the floor. Move high‑value accounts to FIDO2 hardware keys or platform passkeys to block phishing at the protocol level. Scope agent permissions narrowly, isolate MCP connectors by function, and require explicit approvals for sensitive actions. Log everything an agent touches and review those trails. Autonomy should be earned, minimal, and observable. If AI is going to act on your behalf, it must prove itself at every step.If this conversation helps you think differently about agents, influence mapping, and how to lock down your stack, subscribe, share with a teammate, and leave a quick review telling us the one control you plan to implement this week.Support the show

Il curling è uno degli sport protagonisti dei Giochi Olimpici Invernali 2026. Ma come si gioca? Quali sono le regole e a cosa serve la scopa? Il curling è uno sport olimpico in cui i giocatori, divisi in due squadre, fanno scivolare pesanti pietre di granito, dette “stone”, sul ghiaccio: lo scopo è riuscire a posizionarle il più vicino possibile alla “house”, cioè un'area circolare disegnata a terra. Questo gioco è diventato famoso anche grazie alla partecipazione dell'Italia alle gare di curling di doppio misto ai Giochi Olimpici. In questo video vedremo come funziona il curling dal punto di vista fisico, perché si spazzola il ghiaccio e come fanno i giocatori a non scivolare.

From the start, the Epstein investigation was engineered to produce narrow results. Narrow charges do not emerge naturally when evidence points to a sprawling criminal enterprise fueled by money, access, and institutional protection. The focus on Epstein alone was a deliberate choice designed to avoid following the financial infrastructure that made his crimes possible. The released emails and documents show awareness, coordination, and active containment, not ignorance. Sexual abuse was treated as the whole story because it could be isolated, while financial crimes would have exposed banks, intermediaries, and elite beneficiaries. Every dollar Epstein moved should have been treated as evidence of enterprise-level criminality, yet that scrutiny was avoided. RICO was never used because it would have forced prosecutors to acknowledge pattern, facilitation, and mutual benefit. That would have dragged the financial sector into the light, and that outcome was unacceptable to those in power. This was not incompetence or oversight. It was a controlled, scoped-down operation from the beginning.When Epstein became a liability who might talk, the narrow investigation became untenable, but his removal did not erase the evidence. Financial records, emails, and transaction histories still exist and still point to beneficiaries who profited while keeping their hands “clean.” The unanswered questions are all financial: who received money, who structured the vehicles, who vouched for him, and who chose profit over accountability. The contrast with cases like Martha Stewart exposes the hypocrisy of enforcement priorities, where market disruption is punished but elite stability is protected. Figures like Leon Black and Les Wexner exemplify how proximity to power insulates culpability through delay and fragmentation. The investigation was tilted long before Epstein's death, designed to deliver a villain without a reckoning. Survivors were denied full accountability, and the public was given closure without truth. Until the financial architecture that enabled Epstein is confronted, justice has not begun—it has been deliberately postponed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Protect your insulation business from liability and ensure you get paid for every job with expert legal strategies designed specifically for contractors. Learn why a handshake isn't enough and how a proper contract can save you from expensive litigation. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Karalynn Cromeens, Managing Partner of The Cromeens Law Firm and host of the "Quit Getting Screwed" podcast. Construction law expert Karalynn Cromeens joins the show to discuss the critical importance of written contracts in the residential insulation industry. She explains why "managing expectations" is the number one defense against lawsuits and how specific contract language can limit liability, especially for spray foam applicators dealing with pre-existing building defects. The discussion highlights the dangers of working without a signed agreement—even for small or pro-bono jobs—and provides actionable advice on how to structure warranties to avoid the "never-ending punch list" that delays final payment. Beyond contracts, the conversation shifts to dispute resolution and the financial side of running a contracting business. Karalynn shares candid advice on why settling fast is often better than being "right" in court and why you should trust your gut when a potential client raises red flags. Listeners will also learn about the legal necessities of change orders, the protection offered by incorporating as an LLC versus a sole proprietorship, and how to effectively leverage liens and demand letters to ensure payment. Inside this episode... 02:05 – Karalynn's background in the industry and the mission of the Subcontractor Institute. 05:21 – The importance of a clear Scope of Work to manage homeowner expectations and avoid "HGTV" standards. 07:08 – Distinguishing between punch lists and warranty claims to finalize jobs and get paid faster. 10:04 – Limiting liability for spray foam contractors when facing poor building conditions or incorrect substrates. 16:32 – Why settling a dispute quickly is often cheaper and less stressful than winning in litigation. 22:14 – Implementing cancellation fees to protect your profit if a homeowner breaches the contract

Customer feedback for developers is one of the fastest ways to improve a product—and one of the easiest ways to derail it. When you're building something you care about, every comment feels important. The challenge is learning how to listen without letting feedback pull you in ten different directions. This episode explores how developers can use customer feedback to sharpen focus, avoid scope creep, and move faster—without losing the original vision that made the product worth building in the first place. About Tyler Dane Tyler Dane has dedicated his career to helping people better manage—and truly appreciate—their time. After working as a full-time Software Engineer, Tyler recently stepped away from traditional employment to focus entirely on building Compass Calendar, a productivity app designed to help everyday users visualize and plan their day more intentionally. The tool is built from firsthand experience, not theory—shaped by years of experimenting with productivity systems, tools, and workflows. In a bold reset, Tyler sold most of his belongings and relocated to San Francisco to focus on growing the product, collaborating with partners, and pushing Compass forward. Outside of coding, Tyler creates YouTube videos and writes about time management and productivity. After consuming countless productivity books, tools, and frameworks, he realized a common trap: doing more without actually accomplishing what matters. That insight led him to break productivity down into its most practical, nuanced components—cutting through hustle culture noise to focus on systems that actually work. Tyler is unapologetically honest and independent. With no investors, no sponsors, and nothing to sell beyond the value of his work, his focus is simple: help people get more done—and appreciate the limited time they have to do it. Follow Tyler on LinkedIn, YouTube, and X. Customer feedback for developers: Why "this is great, but…" matters Most useful feedback doesn't sound negative at first. It usually starts with, "This is great, but…" That "but" is where the signal lives. For developers, the mistake isn't ignoring feedback—it's stopping at the compliment. The real value is understanding what's missing, confusing, or blocking progress. Teams that grow fastest learn to treat that follow-up as actionable data, not criticism. The "This Is Great, But…" Checklist Capture the "but" immediately before it gets softened or forgotten Translate it into a concrete problem statement you can validate Customer feedback for developers: how to find the right people to talk to Not all feedback is equal. Talking to the wrong audience can send you down expensive paths that don't actually improve your product. Customer feedback for developers works best when it comes from people who: Actively experience the problem you're solving Would realistically adopt or pay for your solution Share similar workflows and constraints Broad feedback feels productive but often leads to vague changes. Focused conversations lead to clarity. Customer feedback for developers: filtering input to prevent scope creep Scope creep rarely starts with bad intent. It starts with trying to please everyone. The fix isn't saying "no" to customers—it's filtering feedback through a clear lens: Does this solve the core problem? Does this help our ideal user? Does this move the product forward right now? Avoid Scope Creep Without Ignoring Customers Separate "interesting ideas" from "next priorities." Keep a backlog for later so good ideas don't hijack today's focus Customer feedback for developers: balancing vision with real user needs Strong products sit at the intersection of vision and reality. If you only follow feedback, you become reactive. If you ignore it, you risk building in isolation. Customer feedback for developers should challenge assumptions—not erase direction. The goal is refinement, not reinvention, with every conversation. Customer feedback for developers: building momentum with faster shipping One consistent theme is speed. Slow feedback loops kill momentum. Shipping faster—even in small increments—creates learning. Fast cycles: Reveal what actually matters Improve judgment over time Reduce emotional attachment to individual decisions Build Momentum With Speed and Structure Short shipping cycles reduce overthinking Volume creates clarity faster than perfect planning Customer feedback for developers: choosing a niche in a crowded market General tools struggle in saturated spaces. Customer feedback for developers becomes clearer when you narrow your audience. Niching down doesn't limit opportunity—it increases relevance. How to position against "feature-parity" giants You don't win by copying large platforms. You win by serving a specific workflow better than anyone else. Self-direction when you don't have a manager Without an external structure, prioritization becomes your job. Customer feedback replaces task assignments—but only if you actively use it to set direction. Clear priorities beat unlimited freedom. Conclusion Customer feedback for developers isn't about collecting opinions—it's about building judgment. When you listen to the right people, filter ruthlessly, and ship quickly, feedback becomes a growth engine instead of a distraction. If you're building something of your own, treat feedback as fuel—not a steering wheel.

Send me a messageIf 98% of your emissions sit in your supply chain, what does that say about your resilience when things start to break?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Keith O'Flynn, Group Supply Chain Sustainability Manager at John Sisk & Son. Construction is often labelled slow, conservative, and carbon-heavy. But beneath the surface, it's becoming a stress test for how resilient modern supply chains really are. With regulation tightening, data under scrutiny, and material risks rising, this conversation lands right at the intersection of resilience, sustainability, and operational reality.You'll hear how Sisk discovered that Scope 1 and 2 account for just 2% of its emissions, while a staggering 98% sit upstream in the supply chain, turning decarbonisation into a resilience challenge overnight. We break down why concrete and steel dominate risk exposure, and how low-carbon alternatives are finally moving from theory to site-ready practice.You might be surprised to learn why construction sites can burn more energy after hours than during the working day, how poor emissions data can be wrong by ±100%, and why better visibility is now as critical as better materials. We also dig into supplier engagement at scale, the limits of hydrogen hype, and why resilience increasingly depends on standards, trust, and data you can actually defend.

In this 12 Minute Talk, we break down running shots and why so many hunters struggle with them without realizing the real reason. Velocity, barrel length, projectile speed, scope setup, and follow-through all play a role, and if you've always shot fast “hot rod” cartridges, you might not actually be as good at running shots as you think.This episode is an intro to a deeper, data-driven podcast coming soon, where we'll define velocity ranges, practical leads, and what actually makes running shots easier — without guessing.Topics covered:Why fast cartridges feel like a cheat codeHow short barrels and slower velocities expose bad habitsProper tracking technique (and what not to do)Scope magnification mistakes on moving targetsWays to practice running shots realisticallyWhy chairs dramatically increase hit percentage at nightIf you're missing running shots, or avoiding them altogether, this episode will change how you think about them.www.allymunitions.com

In this landmark Mind-Body Solution Colloquia, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman and neuroscientist Karl Friston engage in a deep, rigorous dialogue on the foundations of reality, perception, and consciousness.Hoffman argues that spacetime and physical objects are not fundamental, but evolved interfaces shaped by fitness rather than truth. Friston presents the Free Energy Principle and Active Inference as a unifying framework for life, mind, and meaning — raising the question of whether inference itself can ground reality.Together, they explore:- Why spacetime may be derived, not fundamental- Whether consciousness must come before physics- Markov blankets, trace logic, and system boundaries- Probability, inference, and non-equilibrium dynamics- The limits of scientific explanation- Implications for AI, evolution, and ontologyThis is not a debate — it is a serious attempt to understand reality at its deepest level.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - What is Ultimately Real?

What Is Scope Churn? Businesses naturally want predictability from their software organizations. Promises have been made to customers, and there are business objectives to deliver as well. Often, those things have little to no wiggle room. The head of Marketing says “This must be completed on time, because we have a trade show on March 1st, and we have committed to present there.” The head of Product says “The only way we could save this angry customer was to promise that this would be completed on September 30th. If we don't deliver, they will walk.”How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Kellianne Arnella, MS, OTD, OTR/L, is a passionate occupational therapist with nearly 15 years of experience specializing in adult neurological rehabilitation. Recently earning her doctorate, she is committed to expanding access to care through innovative, tech-enabled, and community-based service delivery models. Kellianne has designed and led programs that integrate patient needs with current practice trends to improve outcomes for individuals recovering from stroke, brain injury, and concussion. In addition to her clinical work, she serves as an adjunct professor, mentors future therapists, and is a passionate advocate for OT's vital role in concussion care.Episode Summary & Description:In this insightful conversation, Bethany sits down with Dr. Kellianne Arnella, an OT who is revolutionizing how we think about concussion recovery. They dive deep into why the traditional advice of "rest in a dark room" is often insufficient and how a proactive, "full-scope" occupational therapy approach can lead to tangible, life-changing improvements—even years after the initial injury.Kellianne shares her journey to becoming a neuro-focused OT, discusses the surprising predictability of recovery with the right care, and reveals the common barriers (access, awareness, affordability) that prevent people from getting help. She passionately outlines her vision for building community-based concussion networks and provides practical, actionable tips for listeners—from using earplugs and weighted vests to manage sensory overload, to understanding the "spoon theory" for energy management.Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or a clinician, this episode is packed with hope, validation, and a clear roadmap for navigating the often-misunderstood path of concussion recovery.Resources & Tips Mentioned by Kellianne:1. Practical "Hacks" for Sensory Overload & System Calming:Loop Earplugs: For reducing ambient noise before entering overwhelming environments to "save your spoons."Palming Technique: Cover eyes with palms, keep eyes open, and look into complete darkness to help "clear the visual pathway."Weighted Vests: Use during light activities (e.g., folding laundry, walking the dog) or as a passenger in a car to provide deep pressure and reorganize the sensory system.Visual Anchoring: To combat motion sickness, find a static point in the distance (like a street sign) and focus on it as you move.2. Key Concepts:The Spoon Theory: A metaphor for managing finite energy reserves (spoons) throughout the day with a chronic illness or during recovery.Micro vs. Macro Influence: The power of individual conversations and community-level advocacy to create large-scale change in concussion care.3. Her Vision & Advocacy:Community-Based Concussion Networks: Building local, interdisciplinary teams to improve access and create a seamless continuum of care outside major hospital systems.The "Full-Scope" OT Role: Emphasizing the OT's unique skill in addressing the functional impact of vision deficits, habituation patterns, and daily life challenges post-concussion.Show Notes & Contact Information:Connect with Dr. Kellianne Arnella:Website: www.evolvebrainandbody.comInstagram: @evolving_otEmail: kellianne.arnella@gmail.com OR hello@evolvingoccupationaltherapy.comKey Takeaways from This Episode:Recovery is possible even in the chronic phase of concussion—it's never too late to seek help.The right care often involves looking at the integrated systems of vision, balance, cognition, and daily function.Setbacks are common; they can feel like going backward but are often part of the progression forward.Education is 80% of the battle—for patients, caregivers, and other healthcare providers.Advocacy at every level (from a social media post to a community meeting) is crucial to changing the landscape of concussion care.

A Conversation About Community, Connection, and Caring for Kids in Need When Heather Frost joins Janet Michael on The Valley Today, she brings a message that hits close to home: hundreds of children across the Shenandoah Valley desperately need stable, caring families. As Foster Parent Coordinator for Embrace Treatment Foster Care, Heather sees firsthand how the shortage of local foster homes affects vulnerable kids throughout our region. The Scope of the Problem The statistics paint a sobering picture. At any given time, Virginia has approximately 5,000 children in foster care. Remarkably, 40% of these children are teenagers—the age group that proves hardest to place. Breaking this down to our local communities reveals the true scale of the need. Frederick County and Winchester together care for 120-150 children at any time, while Shenandoah County serves 40-60 kids. Even smaller Clarke County has 15-25 children in the system annually. Meanwhile, larger counties like Loudoun regularly have 250-300 children awaiting placement. Furthermore, the consequences of inadequate foster care resources extend far beyond childhood. More than 1,000 young people age out of Virginia's foster care system each year without finding a permanent family. This failure dramatically increases their risk for homelessness, unemployment, and involvement in the justice system—outcomes that could be prevented with stable family support. Why Location Matters Heather emphasizes a crucial point that many people overlook: where a foster child lives makes an enormous difference in their recovery and development. When children must be placed far from their home communities due to a lack of local foster families, they lose vital connections. They leave behind their schools, their therapists, their neighborhoods, and often their extended family members who still play important roles in their lives. "The research shows these things really matter in terms of getting over the trauma that the kids have gone through," Heather explains. Maintaining these connections helps children recover faster and build resilience. Consequently, Embrace actively seeks foster families throughout the region—from Winchester and surrounding counties to Harrisonburg and even Loudoun County—to keep kids rooted in familiar territory. What Treatment Foster Care Really Means Unlike traditional foster care through the Department of Social Services, Embrace provides treatment-level care for children with more complex needs. These kids often face challenges like ADHD, developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, or post-traumatic stress. However, Heather quickly dispels any notion that foster parents must navigate these challenges alone. Instead, Embrace treats foster parents as integral members of a treatment team. The agency provides extensive initial certification training, then continues with monthly sessions covering new strategies, specific situations, and emerging best practices. Additionally, foster parents receive 24/7 support—whether they need a phone consultation or an in-person visit. This comprehensive approach transforms foster parents from isolated caregivers into supported professionals working alongside schools, social services, and community partners. Breaking Down Barriers and Misconceptions Throughout the conversation, Heather addresses common concerns that prevent people from considering foster care. First, she tackles the financial question head-on. All foster children receive Medicaid coverage, eliminating worries about medical expenses. Moreover, foster parents receive stipends to cover clothing and other necessities, though Heather acknowledges these don't cover every expense. Community support, like the Front Royal Chamber's annual fundraiser for foster families, helps fill remaining gaps. Second, Heather confronts the fear that potential foster parents lack the necessary skills or experience. "We're not looking for perfect people," she emphasizes. "We're just looking for people who will show up, who will be there, who want to help children." The certification process takes approximately 90 days and includes about six weeks of training classes, which can be completed virtually or in person based on family preferences. The Power of Stability and Connection Perhaps the most compelling part of the conversation centers on how dramatically children can transform when given stability and structure. Heather acknowledges that many foster children arrive labeled as "difficult" or "hard to manage." Nevertheless, she's witnessed countless times how these same children soften and thrive once they realize someone will consistently show up for them. "Just having someone who cared about them" makes all the difference, Heather notes, recalling stories from community members who approach her at events like Apple Blossom to share their own foster care experiences. Janet reinforces this point, observing that labels hurt children and that removing those labels allows kids to flourish in ways that might seem impossible at first. Importantly, Heather doesn't sugarcoat the experience. "I'm not gonna say it's all butterflies and rainbows a hundred percent of the time," she admits. Yet she describes the profound reward of watching relationships develop between foster children and their families. "When a child and a foster parent have that relationship and you get to watch it grow, it's just very beautiful." From Foster Care to Forever Families The conversation also explores how foster placements can evolve into permanent adoptions. Embrace dual-certifies foster parents for both fostering and adoption, creating flexibility as situations develop. Sometimes a child initially expected to reunify with their biological family cannot do so. In these cases, foster parents who've built strong relationships over months or years often choose to adopt, providing the permanent stability these children desperately need. This possibility becomes especially meaningful for teenagers. As Janet points out, raising any teenager presents challenges—foster or biological. However, the opportunity to guide a young person from a traumatic past toward a stable future offers rewards that transcend typical parenting experiences. The Urgent Call to Action As the conversation concludes, Heather issues a straightforward invitation: if you're even slightly curious about foster care, reach out for a conversation. There's no obligation, no cost, and no pressure. Visit embracetfc.com to learn more and indicate your preferred method of contact. The agency will respond according to your comfort level, whether you're just exploring the idea or ready to begin classes. Ultimately, the message resonates clearly throughout the conversation: the Shenandoah Valley's foster children need local families who represent their communities and cultures. They need people who will maintain their connections to schools, therapists, and extended family. Most importantly, they need adults who will simply show up—consistently, reliably, and with genuine care. The need is great, but so is the potential for impact. As Heather reminds listeners, foster parents don't need to be perfect. They just need to be present.

Recent randomized controlled trials have shown that routine perioperative palliative care does not improve outcomes for patients undergoing curative-intent cancer surgery. No, that wasn't a typo. Regardless of how the data were analyzed, the findings remained consistent: perioperative palliative care DID NOT improve outcomes in the only two randomized controlled trials conducted in this area—the SCOPE and PERIOP-PC trials. Null trials like these often receive less attention in academic and clinical settings, but they can be profoundly practice-changing. Consider the Shannon Carson study on palliative care for chronically critically ill patients. While some have argued it "wasn't a palliative care study," I've always regarded it as one of the most significant studies for understanding not what works—but what doesn't—for palliative care in specific patient populations. The same holds true for the SCOPE and PERIOP-PC trials. Both were null, but their findings are deeply relevant to clinical practice. That's why we invited the lead authors, Rebecca Aslakson (PERIOP-PC) and Myrick "Ricky" Shinall (SCOPE), to share insights into what they did in their studies and why they think they got the results that they did. One key takeaway for me from this discussion was the idea that patients undergoing curative-intent surgery might simply be too early in their cancer trajectory to derive meaningful benefits from palliative care, and maybe the focus should be more on geriatrics. I especially appreciated the closing discussion about the future of research in this area: if routine perioperative palliative care doesn't improve outcomes, what should the next generation of studies focus on?

If you are stepping into a new role with broader scope, higher visibility, or C-suite level accountability, the pressure to perform often shows up as more effort, more involvement, and faster execution.This episode of Grounded and Aligned™, looks at why that approach breaks down at senior levels. Karen examines how success in expanded roles depends less on activity and more on how leaders see themselves, how they make decisions, and how that internal reference point shapes authority, boundaries, and impact.Karen looks atWhy strategies and behaviors alone are insufficient when role scope increasesHow self-concept directly influences decision speed, priorities, and boundariesThe cost of remaining positioned as the reliable problem solver in senior rolesHow authority is undermined when effort replaces judgmentWhy teams and stakeholders respond to hesitation, over-involvement, and avoidance as signals of role definition“Performance and impact, efficacy, it's not about what you output. It's about how you make decisions, how quickly you make decisions, how you frame those decisions and how you implement those decisions.” - Karen GombaultAs scope expands, leadership effectiveness accumulates through judgment, role design, and disciplined decision-making. Without an explicit shift in how leaders see their role and responsibility, effort increases while authority weakens, creating unsustainable patterns that limit impact over time.Next stepsDownload the associated guide, The Identity Lag: https://www.karengombault.com/identity

When we have interviewed guests on the show, we've talked through their career timeline and pulled out the lessons learned. Today, we're going to do it for the show itself. 1:38 – Where We Started John was working as a sales engineer at VMware and was the co-host of the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. He loved listening to podcasts, enjoyed the medium, and wanted to find a topic for a show. At the same time Nick was in the process of joining VMware, John and Nick were discussing all the things Nick needed to know to transition into sales engineering for a technology vendor. “In that conversation, I said ‘maybe we should start a podcast.'” – John White As Nick remembers it, this happened the weekend before Nick started at VMware in December 2017 (almost exactly 8 years before this episode's recording). Nick wasn't sure what he would talk about on a podcast. This suggestion from John started the ideation period, and our launch of the show was in July 2018. John talks about some of the initial ideas for the focus of the show. At that time, VMware podcasts and blogs were a great way to interact with the greater community. Doing something like this was also a way to become what John calls “nerd famous.” By the way, no one else can use that term now (trademarked by John). We initially considered talking about VMware news and our opinions on it since we both were going to be working at VMware. Both John and Nick came from small-to-medium business IT operations and eventually became sales engineers at a technology vendor. One of the things the show could be for is to talk about that journey and help others understand it was a possibility for them as well. John and Nick recorded about 10 episodes before launching to help hit the release cadence. Nick doesn't remember why they chose a weekly release cadence but remembers the show launched while he was on vacation. John and Nick even recorded a podcast episode while Nick was on that vacation, which started a habit of Nick doing podcast work while on vacation. Because they had recorded so many episodes in advance, they were not going to be timely or points of authority on VMware technology. Both Nick and John's roles were as technical generalists on the VMware side. “The only evergreen stuff that we had was the career stuff, so that became a little bit more the focus. I think that we were still thinking…we'll just record more maybe VMware specific stuff later on…as that happens. For right now, here it is.” – John White Early episodes were very prescriptive about resumes and job interview processes at larger tech companies, for example. Nick points out that John had to carry the conversation in these early episodes because he was just learning to think about career focused topics (sort of like being new to lifting weights). But, Nick picked up a lot just from the conversations on the show. 7:50 – Interview Format and Getting to Launch Nick couldn't remember what made them bring in guests originally, but Episode 13 with Tom Delicati was our very first guest interview on the show. John feels bringing in guests was always back of mind for him, and it was what he saw happen on the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. “We're just 2 people and we have our experience. But we can't represent that as the full breadth of all of experience. That just doesn't make any sense. So, we need to start exploring what other people's career journeys have looked like and see if we can extract some knowledge and recommendations from that.” – John White Nick doesn't remember having a prescriptive plan for interviewing guests but feels like they settled into long-form interviews as a style pretty quickly. John says this was a structure they hit upon in the beginning (talking through someone's job history). The lessons learned from career inflection points like job transitions emerged from conversations with guests. John and Nick did not know this was going to happen when they began. Nick likes being able to highlight more of one specific guest's story than otherwise could have been done if each interview was only 30 minutes with a guest. But we fully acknowledge people like different lengths of podcasts. “We wanted to tell interesting stories that had an arc: a beginning and an end and a journey in between. And we were able to find those even chopping people's long 2-hour conversations up into 2 or even 3 episodes. I think that worked for us. I don't know if it worked for everybody.” – John White “We probably spent the same time interviewing people as we would have. We just didn't interview as many as if it had been 1 episode per person.” – Nick Korte We also didn't want to release a 2-hour interview as one episode. That's a lot of editing for just one episode release. People might not realize how much time goes into editing and production even after recording an interview. At the beginning, John had to give Nick advice on the kind of microphone to get. Nick started recording with a headset and then bought the same mic as John. They would each later invest in nicer microphones as the show progressed. “I knew nothing about editing and really not that much about how to make a podcast.” – Nick Korte, on beginning as a podcaster There were a lot of things we had to figure out just to make the podcast publicly available. John had researched some of the administrative things. He knew there was a WordPress plugin that could be used to turn MP3 files of released episodes into publicly available audio feed that would be the podcast. John says there were some mental blocks and hurdles he had to get through before launching the show, highlighting the fact that it took 6 months to go from idea to publishing. He was getting overwhelmed trying to figure out the back-end production and publishing process. John thinks it was Nick who kept asking what needed to happen for us to launch, and we went with WordPress and the plugin mentioned but never changed anything…because we had no time to go back. Nick and John learned that once you start a show and get it going, you will never run out of ideas. 13:58 – The Why Behind the Ending We never ran out of ideas. In fact, we still have ideas. So why are we stopping the podcast? We ran out of time. Nick has run out of time to work on editing and production. This has been a weekly show (up until the last couple months of our run), and it takes a large time commitment each week. For guest interview episodes, the intro and outro were not recorded at the same time the interview took place. These had to be recorded before the episode was released. The show notes are not AI-generated. Nick enjoyed writing them and adding in important links and references, feeling like it allowed him to remember the episodes better and internalize the lessons within them. Nick has a teenager now with many extracurricular activities and has had a workload increase at his job. “Probably for the last year I think I've been fooling myself at how much of a toll it's been to just get an episode out each week.” – Nick Korte We even tried changing the release schedule to bi-weekly and have missed that cadence a couple of times. John ran out of time about 4 years ago and hasn't had much time since to handle podcast related tasks. John experienced a job change and new baby at that time and couldn't add anything else. He also moved at some point. John and Nick have been advancing in their own careers over time as well, which has added responsibility. John and his wife recently had a second child. He also left his job in June 2025 and has been doing a job search at the same time. Before Nick and John made this decision, Nick listened back to some previous episodes to get advice and perspective. Some of the advice that echoed the loudest came from Amy Lewis in Episode 302 – Ending with Intention: Once a Geek Whisperer with Amy Lewis (2/2). The idea of ending with intention stood out. “Rather than being spotty on our releases and not keeping our promise of how often we say we're going to get the show out, we wanted to end it with intention and say, ‘ok, this is it.'” – Nick Korte “We haven't lost the love of this task. We both want this to continue. But realistically, we can't do it. And rather than sputter and peter out and never be heard from again, we just thought we'll follow the lessons that we've learned from our bettors and do what they did. Let's be intentional about the end.” – John White 18:02 – The Lessons We Learned John learned how much we can learn from the experience of others. He had ideas and biases about how we should handle specific aspects of our career, but doing the podcast allowed him to pressure test these ideas against the experience of others. John appreciates the breadth of background and experience our collective guests have brought to the show. It made him realize there are so many different ways to do certain things. Nick learned a ton about the mechanics of podcast production. It was around Episode 113 when Nick became the editor because John needed to take a break. If you want to hear more about how this happened, check out this blog post. Nick got hooked into podcast communities and even attended a podcast conference in 2025, meeting many other people who run their own podcast. Nick learned how much salesmanship is involved in getting a guest. You have to sell someone on the idea of being on the show and what they can bring to your listeners. How easy can you make it for them to say yes? John and Nick asked guests for 1.5 – 2 hours for an interview. “If you make it easy for someone to say yes and you build the outline of questions you might ask and you tell them what your show is about and what you want to cover, they'll say yes. And they might give you more time than that…. I learned so much about different people that I never would have met otherwise. I am thankful for all the learnings of all the people who have been on the show. And I'm thankful for everything I've learned from you, John.” – Nick Korte John is grateful for the difference in skills he and Nick have and their ability to learn from one another just by co-hosting together. He likes to apply the idea of making it easy for others to say yes when he's asking something of someone at work, for example. Nick learned how to beat perfectionism weekly. Something can always be edited more or re-recorded. There was a weekly ship date. “The deadline was always there to keep me honest.” – Nick Korte Seth Godin's The Practice talks about keeping a promise to the people who follow you. Having a weekly release cadence meant we were promising to ship episodes weekly. “So, whether one person listened or a million people listened, we tried to keep that promise. And it was important to us to keep it, even if it was hard.” – Nick Korte “Having a million people listen to a specific episode or even hit the site in a specific week wasn't the goal. I think the goal was the breadth of work and making it accessible and having people be able to benefit from it.” – John White We also had to learn how to tell people about the show in a clear, succinct way. When John or Nick would join video calls for work, people would see their microphones and ask if they had a podcast. We also used generative AI in our workflow for production a little bit, even if it was not for show notes. Doing the show has dragged with it some reasons to tinker with generative AI. With John's help Nick learned how to build a Gemini prompt that would take the handwritten show notes and brainstorm titles, episode descriptions, and even create a prompt for a featured image based on the themes in the episode. John shares that we never wanted to use generative AI to take a transcript and generate an episode outline. We might lose touch with the content that way. John talks about the curse of being an audio editor. It's impossible to NOT hear issues in other audio. Nick can hear mouth noises on Zoom calls like you wouldn't believe. John says we can listen to someone else's podcast and may be able to tell who is and is not the editor based on whether they speak into the microphone or move away from it and keep talking. 25:15 – Our Favorite Moments John says it's hard to pick just one favorite moment. We got to meet some of our heroes in podcasting and other people who were “nerd famous” about their career stories. We had some great conversations with John Nicholson about how to evaluate a job offer and personal finance. Check out these for reference: Episode 224 – Tech Marketing, Interview Questions, and Executives as Wild Bears with John Nicholson (1/3) Episode 225 – Take Stock of Your Compensation with John Nicholson (2/3) Episode 226 – Negotiating Job Offers and Personal Finance Tips with John Nicholson (3/3) Having a podcast allowed us to have lengthy conversations with people who may not have otherwise had a reason to talk to us. John doesn't think asking someone out of the blue for 2 hours of time without having a podcast would have worked well. John says he has a strong recency bias, often walking away from an interview with a guest thinking it was the best one yet. Nick's favorite moments Nick remembers the first time we interviewed Mike Burkhart (in Episode 64 and Episode 65). He was having wifi issues and had to move everything into his living room floor to record the episode. John and Mike were kind enough to stay online and still do the interview. John and Nick live in different parts of the United States and have only been able to record together in person a handful of times. These times were special and rare. Nick remembers the time they recorded at VMware Explore and forgot to hit record…twice in a row! If John had to succumb to recency bias, he would pick the recent interview with Milin Desai. This set of interviews stands alone as the only time we were cold pitched a guest by someone we did not know, and it was a perfect fit. We got over 2 hours with a CEO! Episode 349 – Expand Your Curiosity: Build, Own, and Maintain Relevance with Milin Desai (1/3) Episode 350 – Scope and Upside: The Importance of Contextual Communication with Milin Desai (2/3) Episode 350 – Opt In: A CEO's Take on Becoming AI Native with Milin Desai (3/3) People being both generous with their time and inciteful has been a pattern with guests. Nick and John got to have conversations with people both on the air and off the air. Nick appreciated having Dale McKay on the show (a mentor of his). You can find those episodes here: Episode 288 – Guardrails for Growth: A Mentor's Experience with Dale McKay (1/2) Episode 289 – Enhance Your Personal Brand: Feedback as a Catalyst for Change with Dale McKay (2/2) Some other favorites from Nick: He enjoyed all of the conversations about the principal title and principal engineers. See also the principal tag for more of these stories. Nick also really enjoyed hearing the stories about why people went into leadership roles and why they moved away from them. One specific episode Nick highlights as a favorite is Episode 127 – Countdown to Burnout with Tom Hollingsworth (3/3). John mentions we all battle burnout from time to time, and having such great advice to go back to is a gift. Nick says being the editor is also a gift because you're going to get to listen to the recorded discussion multiple times. Many times, the questions Nick and John asked in guest interviews were things they needed help with in their own careers. Hopefully the answers to those questions helped you as a listener too! John liked the fact that we were able to clip some of the times we messed up on the air and include those sound bites at the very end of an episode for people. To find these episodes, look for the Stinger metadata tag on an episode post. Nick mentions the Barry White intro stinger. It's actually at the end of Episode 17. There are also some good stingers with guest Chris Williams. 31:05 – What to Expect from Us Moving Forward What are the things that will, won't, and might happen in the future? The Nerd Journey site will remain online and accessible so our content will not disappear. You can still enjoy past episodes, browse the show notes, and leverage the Layoff Resources Page as well as our Career Uncertainty Action Guide. John and Nick can keep it online in a very cost-effective way just as they have to this point since the podcast was never monetized (not even Amazon affiliate links). John still has a dream of making sure we have transcripts of all the episodes and making these available in addition to the show notes. Maybe that could be extended to an AI chat bot that was trained on the transcripts. There would be some overhead involved in doing it, but John thinks it's definitely possible. You can still reach out to John or Nick on LinkedIn or send us an e-mail. All current communication channels will remain in place. We are available for questions, if you want to talk, etc. We will definitely NOT restart this show. We have declared it complete. Even if we were going to do a show like this again in the future, we would do it differently. We might choose a different name, a different description, or a different format even. But we don't have the time to do that right now anyway. We are NOT starting a new show (at least not right now). 34:59 – There's More to Be Done for All of Us Just because the show is ending, that doesn't mean your work is complete. None of our work is complete when it comes to career. “The things that we've talked about in curating your own career and being intentional about it always apply. We're not going to be around to remind you of that every week, so I hope that people have learned those lessons and internalized them. But if not, do something to make those things intentional. You need to prioritize your career on a consistent basis.” – John White Here are some specific actions that you should take: Document your work. Generate proof of work. Show your work (similar to generating proof of work). John says this is what we were unconsciously doing when we began the podcast, sharing how we got to where we are and our job transitions so others can follow a similar path if they choose. The purpose of showing your work is so that others can learn from your experience and so you can remind yourself of what you've accomplished at a later time. Nick highlights that Episode 66: Three-Month Check-In as a Google Cloud Customer Engineer with John White, Part 1 remains the most downloaded episode in our catalog. Aim for small, iterative improvements. Turn information into knowledge. Some of this is through writing. We spoke several times on the show about writing being thinking, and it was specifically referenced in an episode with Josh Duffney – Episode 156 – Better Notes, Better You with Josh Duffney (1/2). Manage your knowledge in some kind of written form that isn't in your head. Make it a knowledge management system of some kind. Practice Deep Work. It's the most important work you can do because the skill of sustained attention will be the thing for which people are paid. Be mindful of technology waves and trends, and consider placing some small bets. Many guests have invested time and effort to become proficient in a newer technology before or as it was catching on. Don't be afraid to tinker with those newer technologies. Consistently invest in your professional network. One way to do this could be via meetup groups or online communities. Reach out to use if you want to talk about careers, starting a podcast, or other fun topics. Nick can also tell you what it's like to go through the John White School of Mentoring. We want to say a special thank you to every guest who took the time to be on the podcast and every listener who took the time to listen to an episode.

Learn how B2B teams can scale creative operations, cut the busywork, and show up consistently with content that resonates. Charging by the hour? You're leaving money on the table. In this episode, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Jonathan Stark - author of Hourly Billing Is Nuts and host of the Ditching Hourly podcast - for a masterclass in pricing, positioning, and why daily publishing changed everything for his business. Jonathan breaks down why hourly billing traps experts in low-profit margins, the difference between cost-plus and actual value-based pricing, and his "scope last" principle that flips traditional consulting on its head. He also shares how publishing daily helped him build a loyal audience, deepen his expertise, and turn strangers into superfans. Whether you're a solo consultant or running a B2B service business, this conversation delivers clear, actionable frameworks to work less, charge more, and stand out. Jason and Jonathan dive straight into why hourly billing is fundamentally broken. It punishes efficiency, caps your income, and makes clients focus on time instead of outcomes. Jonathan explains the "fixed pricing trap" most consultants fall into, they think they're doing value-based pricing when they're really just doing cost-plus (estimate hours, multiply by rate, add margin). Real value-based pricing starts with understanding what success is worth to the client. The conversation shifts to Jonathan's signature principle: scope last. Instead of leading with what you'll do, lead with the outcome the client wants and price based on that value. Only after they say yes do you figure out the most efficient way to deliver it. This requires strong positioning, becoming the only choice for a specific problem, not the cheapest option among many. They explore how daily publishing transformed Jonathan's business. He's published something every single day for years, creating what he calls "asymmetric intimacy" his audience feels like they know him deeply even if they've never met. This built trust at scale and turned his owned media into a long-term growth engine that compounds over time. Jonathan shares practical newsletter tactics: the capture phase (getting people on the list), writing cadence (daily works for him), and why podcasting is like building localized celebrity. They also discuss burnout risks, how AI fits in (spoiler: it's a tool, not a replacement for thinking), and Jonathan's advice for anyone launching a podcast or daily newsletter: done is better than perfect, just start. If you're stuck in the pricing-versus-scoping cycle or charging by the hour and feeling trapped, Jonathan's frameworks will fundamentally shift how you think about your business. This isn't theory, it's battle-tested advice from someone who's helped thousands of consultants escape the hourly trap. Plus, his insights on daily publishing offer a blueprint for building trust and authority in any B2B market. 00:00 - Introduction: From developer to pricing evangelist 01:30 - Why hourly billing is broken 04:00 - The fixed pricing trap and cost-plus confusion 06:00 - What value-based pricing actually looks like 08:00 - Scope last: price outcomes, not inputs 10:00 - Positioning: become the only choice 13:00 - Daily publishing and asymmetric intimacy 16:30 - Owned media as a growth engine 20:00 - Newsletter tactics and writing cadence 23:30 - Podcasting builds localized celebrity 26:00 - Burnout, AI, and sustainability 30:00 - Advice for launching a podcast or daily list 34:00 - Done beats perfect—just start 38:00 - Final takeaways on pricing and standing out Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Connect with Jonathan Stark on LinkedIn Visit Hourly Billing Is Nuts Visit Ditching Hourly Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast

Healthy Life Hacks was never just about hacks, it was the doorway. In this episode, Jennifer Jefferies reveals why her work has outgrown quick fixes and stepped boldly into the realm of identity, purpose, power, and the rise of the present-day wise woman. This is the evolution: from solving problems to rewriting narratives, from wellness tips to feminine leadership, from staying small to taking up your damn space. If you're ready to walk into your next chapter with her, this episode is your invitation. Transition from Healthy Life Hacks to Present-Day Wise Woman @ 0:00Jennifer discusses how her podcast "Healthy Life Hacks" has evolved over time, moving from providing practical health and wellness tips to focusing more on helping women reclaim their identity, power, and purpose. She explains that as she and her audience have matured, the work has shifted from just fixing problems to empowering women to rewrite cultural narratives and show up more fully in the world.Realizing the Need for Deeper Transformation @ 3:11Jennifer realized that women don't just need quick fixes or "hacks" - they need a deeper level of identity-based transformation to truly make lasting changes. She saw that her audience was resonating more with episodes about boundaries, self-worth, aging, and leadership than the more tactical health-focused content.Embracing the Role of the Wise Woman @ 7:00Jennifer discusses how the "present-day wise woman" archetype has been emerging and evolving in her work over the past decade, as she has gained more life and professional experience. She sees midlife women as an underestimated force who are ready to reclaim their voices and leadership roles in the world.Expanding the Scope of Her Work @ 9:01Jennifer explains that her work has expanded beyond just teaching about health and wellness to now sitting at the intersection of health, identity, leadership, purpose, story, feminine wisdom, reinvention, and the rise of the modern crone. Her goal is to help women reclaim themselves, their voices, and their rightful place in the world.Embracing a Bolder, More Impactful Voice @ 10:12Jennifer reflects that her voice and work now carries more impact than ever before, as she is not just sharing tips but shaping narratives and offering leadership. She sees her podcast as the perfect container for her to find and refine her voice, build trust with her community, and prove that her wisdom only deepens over time.Invitation to Join the Evolution @ 12:10In closing, Jennifer thanks her audience for their trust and support throughout her evolution, and invites them to join her in stepping fully into the next iteration of her work as the "present-day wise woman." She sees this transition not as an ending, but as her embracing the woman she has become.

The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Nick and Katelyn demystify the remodeling process, emphasizing that a successful project is built on clear communication, careful planning, and a personalized approach. Step-by-Step Breakdown: Initial Consultation:**     The journey begins with a phone call to discuss your goals, needs, and vision. Don't worry about the current state of your home—Affordable Interiors prides itself on a judgment-free approach. In-Home Measurement:**     A team member visits your home to take precise measurements and assess the project's scope. This ensures that every detail is tailored to your space. Showroom Appointment:**     Clients are invited to the downtown Grayslake showroom to explore materials, finishes, and design options. This hands-on experience helps you visualize the possibilities and make informed choices. Detailed Estimate:**     After the initial meetings, you'll receive a comprehensive estimate that reflects your unique project, including materials, labor, and timelines. Permits and Inspections:**     Affordable Interiors handles all necessary permits and inspections, streamlining the process and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Project Execution:**     The team coordinates demo, prep work, and installation, keeping you informed at every stage. Expert Insight:   Nick highlights the importance of flexibility and transparency, noting that every project is unique and may require adjustments along the way. Their process is designed to minimize stress and maximize satisfaction. 2. Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Remodeling isn't just about following the latest trends—it's about creating a space that reflects your personality, lifestyle, and long-term needs. Key Principles: Timeless Over Trendy:**     While blue cabinets and bold islands have had their moment, Nick and Katelyn encourage clients to choose designs that will stand the test of time. Your home should feel like your home, not a showroom. Aging in Place:**     Many clients remodel with the intention of staying in their homes for years to come. Katelyn emphasizes the importance of functional layouts, accessible features, and durable materials that support aging in place. Client-Centered Approach:**     The design process is collaborative. Katelyn works closely with clients to understand their routines, preferences, and future plans, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and practical. Actionable Advice: Bring inspiration photos, but be open to professional guidance. Think about how you use your space daily—storage, lighting, and flow matter as much as aesthetics. Don't be afraid to express your personality through color, texture, and unique features. 3. Managing Timelines and Expectations One of the most common questions Nick and Katelyn hear is, "How soon can you start?" The answer depends on several factors, and setting realistic expectations is crucial for a smooth experience. Timeline Factors: Cabinet Lead Times:**     Some cabinet lines arrive in 2-3 weeks, while others may take up to 3 months. The team schedules demo and prep work accordingly to avoid unnecessary downtime. Permits and Inspections:**     Kitchens and bathrooms often require permits and inspections, which can add 4-6 weeks to the timeline. Scope of Work:**     Larger projects or those involving structural changes will naturally take longer. Pro Tips: Start planning early, especially if you have a specific deadline (e.g., holidays, family events). Communicate openly about your priorities and constraints. Trust the process—rushing can lead to mistakes or missed details. 4. Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Remodeling is as much an emotional journey as it is a logistical one. Katelyn and Nick are keenly aware of the vulnerability clients feel when their homes are in transition. Common Emotions: Anxiety:**     Seeing your kitchen or bathroom gutted can be unsettling, even if you know it's temporary. Excitement:**     Watching the transformation unfold—tile, flooring, cabinets—brings anticipation and joy. Relief and Pride:**     The final reveal is often met with relief, pride, and a renewed love for your home. How Affordable Interiors Supports Clients: Clear Communication:**     The team explains each step, so clients know what to expect and when. Empathy:**     They encourage clients to give themselves grace and not feel embarrassed about the "before" state of their home. Celebrating Progress:**     Milestones are acknowledged, and clients are kept in the loop, making the journey more enjoyable. 5. Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Affordable Interiors isn't just a business—it's a neighbor. Nick and Katelyn live in Grayslake, their showroom is housed in a historic building, and they're active members of the Grayslake Chamber of Commerce. Community Involvement: Local Events:**     From the Festival of Lights parade to the Saint Patrick's Day parade, Nick and Katelyn love participating in community celebrations. Charity and Support:**     They regularly donate to local causes, such as the bachelorette auction benefiting a family in need. Showroom Dog, Cooper:**     Their trilingual cocker spaniel, Cooper, is a local celebrity and adds a welcoming touch to the showroom. Why It Matters: Local businesses reinvest in the community, creating jobs and supporting local causes. Familiar faces and personal relationships foster trust and accountability. Community pride is contagious—when businesses thrive, so does the town. 6. Actionable Tips for Homeowners Thinking about starting your own remodeling project? Here's what Nick and Katelyn recommend: Don't Wait for "Perfect" Conditions:**     Many clients put off remodeling because they're embarrassed by their home's current state. The team at Affordable Interiors has seen it all—no judgment, just solutions. Start with a Conversation:**     A simple phone call can clarify your options and set the process in motion. Be Honest About Your Needs:**     Whether you're planning to age in place, need more storage, or want a fresh look, share your goals openly. Plan for the Unexpected:**     Remodeling can uncover surprises (old wiring, plumbing issues). Build a little flexibility into your budget and timeline. Stay Engaged:**     Visit the showroom, ask questions, and stay involved in decisions. Your input is invaluable. 7. Supporting Local: Why It Matters The episode underscores the importance of supporting local businesses—not just for economic reasons, but for the sense of connection and pride it brings. How to Support Local: Shop and Hire Locally:**     Choose local businesses for your needs, from remodeling to dining and beyond. Spread the Word:**     Share positive experiences with friends, family, and on social media. Participate in Community Events:**     Attend parades, markets, and fundraisers to strengthen community bonds. Practice Kindness:**     As the podcast host suggests, perform random acts of kindness—smile, hold a door, thank a service worker. Small gestures make a big difference. 8. Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community The story of Affordable Interiors is a testament to what makes Grayslake special: hard work, personal relationships, and a deep commitment to community. Nick and Katelyn's expertise, empathy, and local pride

On this, our 308th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss glyphosate, Roundup, Monsanto, and how science and the law are done. A benchmark scientific review paper from 2000, which established the safety of glyphosate for humans, has been retracted by the publisher, on the basis that a) the paper did not actually review the available evidence, b) the stated authors did not actually write (much of) the paper, and c) employees of Monsanto, which makes Roundup, cryptically contributed substantively to the paper. This paper never should have been published, and its retraction should prompt the EPA to revamp guidelines for the use of glyphosate. Also: peer review and scientific culture are widely gamed. And: punitive damages to injured plaintiffs, awarded by juries against corporations, are being reduced by appellate courts due to a misapplication of the 14th Amendment.*****Our sponsors:Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

Where is the sense of urgency to solve the issues that matter now, not after the midterm elections? We delve into Trump's asymmetric focus on foreign policy relative to the core bread-and-butter issues crushing the people, like health care. I warn about how Republicans are about to cut a bad deal on health care. Plus, Trump is moving to the left on federal abortion funding. He also agreed to surrender U.S. corporate tax sovereignty to the globalists. Next, we're joined by Shannon Everett of American Truckers United, who blew the lid off the silent crisis of illegal alien and foreign drivers destroying the trucking industry. We discuss how illegal aliens now compose a massive percentage of truck drivers and an even greater percentage of trucking accidents and criminal activity. Despite some federal action, the government is still failing to end this problem. We discuss numerous action items at the state and federal levels that must be addressed quickly.
