This episode is a practical clinic-owner conversation about marketing that actually has a job to do.Jimmy McKay, Dave Kittle, and Tony Maritato talk through content creation, direct mail, therapist branding, anonymous posts, AI comments, and why PT clinic owners need to understand the game they are playing before spending money or time.Key insights from the discussion:• Content should attract something specific: patients, referral partners, or staff.• Local positioning matters more than generic posting.• Direct mail can work when clinic owners commit to testing over months, not days.• A new therapist can become a visible local authority if the clinic builds content around them.• Seasonality affects some PT clinics heavily, especially in markets with snowbirds or summer travel.• Anonymous posting and AI comments may create noise, but they rarely build trust.• Showing real clinic interactions can help other PTs learn and give patients a clearer sense of the experience.Why this matters for busy PTs and clinic owners:Most clinics do not have a content problem. They have a positioning problem. This episode shows how to connect marketing activity to real business goals: booked evaluations, stronger staff visibility, better local awareness, and more trust before the first patient visit.GUEST LINKSDave Kittle  https://conciergepainrelief.com  YouTube: The Dave Kittle ShowTony Maritato  YouTube: Total Therapy SolutionJimmy McKay  YouTube: PT PintcastSPONSORSSaRA Health  https://sarahealth.comEMPOWER EMR  https://empoweremr.comU.S. Physical Therapy  https://usph.comSUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWApple Podcasts  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pt-pintcast-physical-therapy/id1000443325Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/show/3LmMUT64yrUc2iGo9EmafcYouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@PTPintcastLinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-mckay-pt-dpt-a4207659/Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/ptpintcastX / Twitter  https://x.com/PTPintcastWebsite  https://www.ptpintcast.com/

Il rally di fine mese, noto anche come "Turn of the Month Effect", è una delle anomalie stagionali più conosciute nei mercati finanziari. Secondo numerosi studi, i rendimenti di azioni e indici tendono infatti a concentrarsi negli ultimi giorni di borsa del mese e nei primi giorni del mese successivo. Ma questo effetto funziona ancora oggi? In questo podcast analizziamo oltre 100 anni di dati storici sul Dow Jones, dal 1910 fino ai giorni nostri, per verificare se il rally di fine mese sia rimasto stabile nel tempo, come si sia comportato in diversi regimi di mercato e quali potrebbero essere le cause dietro questa anomalia stagionale. L'analisi viene inoltre suddivisa in tre grandi periodi storici di circa 40 anni ciascuno, così da valutare la robustezza statistica del fenomeno anche nel lungo periodo.

In a fast-moving world where burnout, distraction, and overwork have become normalised, building sustainable rhythms may be one of the most important leadership skills of all. What if the problem isn't you… but the framework you've been given? In the penultimate episode of Season 15, Mich Bondesio revisits the central concept that has shaped six years of the Creating Cadence Podcast: "Cadence".This episode brings together the core themes explored throughout the season — burnout, attention, loneliness, regenerative work, focus, constraints, inner capacity, and sustainable performance — and reveals how they all connect through one foundational idea: Rhythm.Rather than chasing the impossible ideal of “work-life balance,” this episode explores why human beings are designed for movement, variation, seasonality, and recovery — and how cadence creates a more sustainable way to work, lead, and live.This is both an introduction to the philosophy of cadence and a reflective wrap-up of the season's deeper themes before the landmark 100th episode.In this episode:Why “work-life balance” often fails high performersThe difference between balance and cadenceHow cadence supports sustainable performanceWhy humans are designed for rhythm, not consistencyThe role of seasonality in work and leadershipWhat “effort waves” are — and why recovery mattersThe dangers of constant intensity and self-overrideHow flexible beats create adaptable structureWhy cadence affects relationships, leadership, and cultureTime Stamps:[00:02:17] The Problem with Balance[00:04:51] What Cadence Actually Means[00:06:31] Seasonality as a Design Principle[00:08:40] Effort Waves & The Myth of Constant Intensity[00:10:36] Flexible Beats[00:12:47] The Social Dimension – Cadence in Relationships[00:14:30] Cadence as an Operating Philosophy[00:16:01] Wrap UpAbout Creating Cadence:Creating Cadence is a podcast about what it really takes to work well and live well in this fast-paced world.

Chapter 4 — Where Does Food Come From?I Once Spent a Week on a farm, and It Changed Everything I thought I Knew About Cooking.In the summer of 2001, at the insistence of a farmer friend who had grown tired of my asking him questions about produce over the phone, I spent a week working on his farm in the Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts. I was not a young man — I was in my early fifties, with four decades of professional cooking behind me. I had touched more food in my career than most people see in a lifetime. And yet that week humbled me more completely than any culinary experience I had ever had.I woke before dawn each morning to harvest vegetables in the blue-gray light before the heat came. I pulled carrots from the earth and felt how cold they were, how heavy, how alive. I picked tomatoes warmed by the afternoon sun and ate one standing in the field, juice running down my chin, and tasted something that bore almost no resemblance to the tomatoes I had been buying from a distributor for years. I dug potatoes, which are unlike any other vegetable to harvest — each plant yields a hidden cache, a buried treasure, and the act of uncovering them feels vaguely archaeological. By the end of the week, I understood something I had thought I already understood but clearly hadn't: the distance between a seed in the ground and a dish on a table is not just physical. It is transformative. It changes the food. And it changes the cook.The conversation about where food comes from has never been more urgent or more muddled than it is today. Children growing up in cities and suburbs often have no experiential understanding of how food is produced. They know that strawberries come in plastic clamshells and that chicken comes in boneless, skinless portions wrapped in plastic film. The farm, the field, the soil, the season — these things are as abstract to many modern children as medieval history. And yet they are not abstract at all. They are the foundation of everything we eat.The concept of seasonality is, to me, one of the most important and most neglected ideas in food education. We live in an era of global supply chains that deliver strawberries in December and butternut squash in June. While this represents a genuinely remarkable logistical achievement, it has come at a cost. When food is available year-round regardless of season, we lose the ability to taste it at its peak. A tomato grown in a hothouse in January and a tomato grown outdoors in August in New England are not the same food. The August tomato is sweeter, more complex, more nutritious, and more alive. The flavor difference is not subtle. It is dramatic. And nutrition tracks flavor — peak-season produce, harvested at full ripeness, contains more vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients than produce harvested early and ripened in transit. Seasonality also teaches something more fundamental: patience. In a world of instant gratification, of streaming, same-day delivery, and fast food available at any hour, there is something genuinely countercultural about waiting for asparagus to come back in April, about understanding that the best peaches will only be here for six weeks in August, and then they will be gone. This is not deprivation. It is anticipation. And food anticipated and consumed at its proper moment tastes incomparably better than food demanded and delivered on command.The connection between food and place is equally important. Different soils, different climates, and different microclimates produce different flavors. This is the concept the French call terroir — the particular character that geography imprints on what grows in it. Italian food is inseparable from Italian geography: the rich volcanic soil of Campania that makes San Marzano tomatoes extraordinary, the chalky hillside soils of Tuscany that give the wine its particular mineral character, the brackish coastal air of Liguria that infuses the basil grown there with its unique fragrance.

US and the World Planters are rolling across the Great North American corn belt. It is that time of year when the rubber meets the road with regard to all the plans put in place over the last few months. As of May, the 10th 57% of corn was planted in the US and 49% of intended soybean acreage was in the ground. So we’re off to a very good start. However, as every farmer knows there’s lots of risks planting those fields and there’s lots of risk ahead. Markets have been volatile. On Tuesday May the 12th the USDA released their latest WASDE report. The May report is USDA’s first detailed look into crop production for the 2026/2027 crop year. USDA is predicting new crop corn to be 15.995 billion bushels based on the yield guess of 183 bushels per acre. This was within pre report estimates and if it comes to fruition, it will be the second largest corn crop on record trailing only last year's 17.02-billion-bushel blockbuster. The planted acreage is set to come in at 95.3 million acres with harvested acreage projected at 87.4 million acres. It really wasn’t a big surprise with regard to these fundamental numbers. The corn ending stocks for 2026/27 are projected to be 1.957 billion bushels. Total corn usage is estimated to be 16.205 billion bushels. On the soybean side of the equation, USDA estimated numbers of 4.435 billion bushels of soybeans with a trendline yield of 53 bushels per acre and 84.7 million acres. If it comes to fruition, this will be the second largest soybean crop in U.S. history. US domestic soybean stocks are set to come in at 310 million bushels which was on the bottom end of the pre report estimates. The Brazilians are set to produce another 186 MMT crop of soybeans and the Argentinians are set to come in at 48 MMTs. USDA estimated 2026/2027 US wheat production to be 1.561 billion bushels which is a decrease from the 1.921 billion bushels last May. If this production comes to fruition, it will be the lowest wheat production since 1972. On May 15th corn and soybeans were about the same and wheat futures were higher than the last Market Trends report. July 2026 corn futures was at $4.55 a bushel. Dec 2026 corn was at $4.81 bu. The July 2026 soybean futures was at $11.77 bu. The November 2026 soybean futures were at $11.70. The July 2026 wheat futures closed at $6.35 a bushel. The Minneapolis July 2026 wheat futures closed at $6.85 a bushel with the September 2026 contract closing at $7.05 a bushel. The nearby oil futures as of May 15th, 2026, closed at $105.42/barrel much higher vs the nearby futures recorded in the last Market Trends report of $94.40/barrel. The average price for US ethanol in the US was $2.22/gallon, higher vs the $2.21/gallon recorded in the last Market Trends Report. The Canadian dollar noon rate on April 24th, 2026, was .7272 US, down vs the .7311 US reported here in the last Market Trends report. The Bank of Canada’s lending rate remained at 2.25%. Ontario The Grain Farmers of Ontario's estimation of planting put corn planting at 52% complete, soybeans are at 16 per cent complete, and spring cereals planting is 62 per cent complete across the province as of Wednesday, May 13, 2026. Weather has been uneven early in the season and especially cold going into mid-May. Producers will be hoping for hot weather for good crop emergence and adequate rainfall to get the crop off to a good start. Rainfall has been a bit on the light side in some areas of the province as of mid-May. In fact, although some wheat fields look very good some of the wheat fields that got side dressed late because of tough ground conditions are in need of a good rain. So far at least in the deep southwest of Ontario that has not happened. Weather is always a dominant factor with regard to crop progress. So far it is led to slow development, but of course we’re hoping for a quick turnaround. Ontario corn basis levels have hardly changed from the last Market Trends report. In fact if anything they are a bit lower. Soybeans on the other hand have much higher basis levels which are reflection of the lower Canadian dollar, higher futures prices and the lower soybean supplies in eastern Canada. The Canadian dollar currently at .7272 US continues to add stimulus to Ontario grain prices. Old crop corn basis levels are $1.40 to $2.05 over the July 2026 corn futures on May 15th across the province. New crop corn basis levels were $1.20 to $1.63 over Dec 2026 futures. The old crop basis levels for soybeans range from $3.45 to $4.20 over the July 2026 futures. New crop soybeans range from $3.16 to $3.45 over the November 2026 futures. Ontario SRW wheat prices are approximately $7.72. For July 2026 new crop the bid is in the $7.66/bu range. On May 15th the US replacement price for corn was $6.74/bushel. You can access all these Ontario grain prices in the marketing section at https://gfo.ca/marketing/daily-commodity-report/ The Bottom Line Our grain marketing reality is growing a little bit more mixed. A month ago, one of the main topics of discussion was the Iran war and how that had affected both fertilizer and fuel prices. By extension the grain markets rallied. However, that war has now become more dialed into the trading algorithms and a month-long ceasefire has mitigated some of the effect. Needless to say, oil prices are still elevated and the war could continue to flare up anytime. It is truly a wild card for grain producers this year across the North American corn belt. That might be the wild card but of course there is always the weather which has a big effect on what’s happening ahead. For instance, by the weekend of May 16th about 70% of the US corn crop could be planted as well as 2/3 of the soybean crop. Things have turned bearish and that’s partly because of the disappointment in Beijing and partly because of the great crop planting progress and the benign weather. It is leaning into a bearish market environment. If the weather decides to play nice, we know the rest of the story. We will have big crops and probably rising ending stocks. However, on the other hand if there is a hiccup involved with regard to crop weather in supply, we will likely see a mitigating effect on the price dropping. It is shaping up to be a super El Nino year. Looking back at the past super El Nino years, 2015, 1997 and 2023, all had record corn yields. Wheat is at an interesting point. The Chicago wheat contract which is especially relative to producers in Ontario has been dragged up by the HRW wheat price rally. This is happened because of the dry weather in the US southern plains. It is key because the United States will be at a low ebb for HRW for another year. This should support to some extent the Chicago wheat market. As always, with wheat grown everywhere, cheaper foreign wheat always has the potential to show up in US ports. Commodity Specific Comments Corn The US old crop corn ending stocks sitting at 2.1 billion bushels is putting a drag on the corn price. However, it is much higher than it was a year ago and has constantly threatened to go through $5 US. However, it has not done that and backed off currently at $4.81 a bushel. New crop ending stocks at 1.96 billion bushels are telling us there’s not a lot of concern. Old crop prices reflect this. We’ll have to see what the weather does this summer. The December contract breaking through $5 is a tough ask. Seasonality is always part of that and traditionally that has been mid-June for the highest new crop prices. However, over the past five years the seasonality seems to have changed because the best new crop prices being in the first part of May. That possibly might have happened this year. Weather risk and renewed war risk will likely be two factors to break that $5 barrier. The July 2026 corn contract is currently priced at 7.25 cents lower than the September 2026 contract a bearish indication of old crop corn demand. Seasonally, we know that corn prices tend to peak in early June and bottom out in early October. The July 2026 corn futures contract is at the 16th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Soybeans Soybeans have been on call with regard to any news coming out of China. At this point there hasn’t been specific numbers mentioned with regard to any type of renewed Chinese demand coming out of the presidential meeting in Beijing. Positive news out of that meeting might have taken the nearby month into the $12.00 futures territory. As it is now, there is really no shortage of soybeans in the United States or in the world at any level. Soybean prices fell after the summit with funds taking profits from the lack of news. However, there still could be increased Chinese buying but it might be more likely that it comes later in the season, when soybeans could be cheaper. Cheap always is the great elixir for Chinese soybean buying. The July 2026 soybean contract is currently priced .25 cents above the August contract considered bullish for old crop soybean demand. Seasonally, soybean prices tend to peak in early July and bottom out in early October. The July 2026 soybean contract is currently at the 28th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Wheat Wheat went up the limit in one trading session of the week ending May 16th. In the May USDA report all wheat production was down to 1.561 billion bushels, and this was 170 million bushels below trade estimates. The HRW wheat was estimated at 515 million bushels which is nearly 290 million bushels below last year. So, for whatever reason, we went up the limit but keep in mind most US wheat is still priced out of global markets. At the moment it’s a US phenomenon seeing this wheat price higher, at a certain point it will likely disappear. Needless to say, it does represent opportunity to price wheat. The Ontario wheat crop could sure use a rain in some areas, but generally looks good. Quality issues can always be a problem when it comes to wheat but drier than normal usually works well. Prices are also a dollar plus higher this year compared to what was received last harvest season in 2025. The Canadian dollar certainly helps with that. Producers will be hoping as the weather grows warmer wheat finds its sweet spot to bring in bumper yields. The Bottom Line (cont.) The Canadian dollar continues to flutter around the 72 cent level US. Over the last several weeks it is gyrated between 73 cents and 71 cents US bouncing in an inverse fashion to where the US dollar goes. At a certain point there is going to be a breakout to the upside and when it does it will be a problem for Ontario cash grain prices. As it is, stronger USD economic data and trade uncertainty with Canada hasn’t been good for the loonie. $0.80 US still seems like a long way off, thankfully for Ontario grain prices. The geopolitical situation continues to be a bit of a hot mess, but a hot mess that the grain trading algorithms have readily devoured. Whether it is Russia and Ukraine or Iran and the United States or Israel and Lebanon grain algorithms have adjusted. However, oil prices are still elevated which help grain prices generally. In the bearish fundamental environment for grain, which we are in now these geopolitical concerns can add a lot of spark to the market at unusual times. Keep in mind that we are in a time frame of grain seasonality we’re often times you can capture new crop marketing opportunities. It is also true that you can sell grain throughout the year successfully especially if you have market orders set. Capturing those market opportunities can be elusive especially in markets like these affected by geopolitical events beyond the grain fundamentals. Despite that, we move on. Here in Ontario, we have the challenge once again this spring of getting the crop in the ground. That can always certainly be a challenge, but it’s also challenged to market our crops in a profitable manner and capture those marketing opportunities when they come along. Grain continues to move out into the export market to compete with cheaper options. At the same time there are value added opportunities here at home built up by our industry overtime. Daily market intelligence remains key. Risk management never grows old. There will be many marketing opportunities ahead.

Seasonality hits every brewery differently. A beach town in July looks nothing like a mountain town in February. In this panel, we are bringing together breweries from very different markets to talk about how they plan for the swings, manage staffing and inventory, adjust events and marketing, and keep revenue steady when foot traffic shifts. This conversation will include real examples of what has worked, what has not, and how they think about cash flow, community, and long term sustainability when the busy season ends and the quiet season begins.This conversation features:Cory Smith (Twin Oast Brewing)Daniel Callender (Salty Turtle Beer)Jenna Brown (South Lake Brewing Company)Join us in person for CBP Connects ChicagoJune 15-17, 2026Come get inspired, leave with actionable strategies: https://cbpconnects.com/

It started with seeds and vegetables, which I then started preserving. Then one fruit tree yielded 150 pounds of plums and things changed.”“I'm a storyteller, a writer. That's where my real heart and soul is.

It's very difficult to run a business on this island.”"Part of our operational strategy is in harvest we take in all the fruit and then we prep and freeze it. Then we can cook off throughout the year so that we're busy, and we can also respond better to demand.”“I think it's challenging for us though as a CPG brand and the expectations to scale. I know how to do it, but I've resisted it this whole time because I want to see how far I can get doing it the way that I'm doing it, which is highly attuned to my mission and my morals.”“Keep doing the same thing, that one thing until you cannot possibly do it any better.”“If I start to think it doesn't seem possible, I'm actually drawn to it even more.”Lessons to Action:Focus on doing one thing well and optimize itTrust your journey and listen to your intuitionBuild a business that aligns with your values and lifestyleTimestamps: 03:00 - Introduction to Audra Query and Girl Meets Dirt's story05:25 - From Wall Street to Orcas Island: making a pivotal life change08:08 - The influence of mentorship and the realization to pursue purpose12:00 - Embracing seasonality and place in food production15:38 - The journey of buying land and starting a garden20:32 - Personal story behind the genesis of Girl Meets Dirt25:27 - Navigating challenges of island business and seasonality31:21 - Community support, wholesale growth, and local connections34:44 - Motherhood, business expansion, and balancing priorities39:45 - Unique challenges and strategies of island entrepreneurship45:21 - Future growth plans, ambitions, and the question of scale50:30 - Overcoming industry pressures and staying true to mission57:08 - Favorite foods, recipes, and inspiring books61:37 - The importance of ingredients, flavor, and authenticity64:49 - Vision for a better world through shared food and communityResources & Links:Links:Audra Query on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/audra-query-9920064/Girl Meets Dirt - https://girlmeetsdirt.comGirl Meets Dirt on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/girl-meets-dirt/Girl Meets Dirt on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/girlmeetsdirt Girl Meets Dirt on Instagram - https://instagram.com/girlmeetsdirtGirl Meets Dirt on X - https://x.com/GirlMeetsDirtGirl Meets Dirt on Vimeo - https://vimeo.com/girlmeetsdirt…Messy Confiture by Christine Faber - https://www.amazon.com/Messes-Confiture-Christine-Faber/dp/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio…The Food Institute - https://foodinstitute.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the neural circuits that activate and control aggressive states and behaviors. I discuss how hormones, genes and environmental factors such as day length can shift our aggressive tendencies. I also share science-based tools for modulating aggression, including sunlight exposure, heat therapy and supplementation with ashwagandha or acetyl-L-carnitine.

This week, Ian Saunders and Trevor Plesko discuss recent earnings in the Magnificent 7, small cap stocks outperforming in 2026, and market seasonality.

Most gyms do not have a lead problem. They have a “no one owns follow up,” “our brand doesn't match our price,” and “we never planned where this thing should live long term” problem.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Sherman Merricks and Blake Ruff is joined by, Josh Martin, and Stu Brauer to talk through what they are actually seeing every day with gyms they work with: why ads are not the real issue, how your brand and social need to line up with your prices, what solid follow up looks like, and how smart real estate decisions set your gym up for the next five to ten years.Episode OutlineWhat “shrinkage” in CrossFit and micro gyms really meansWhy every market goes through boom and squeeze cyclesThe $200 subscription question and understanding your own pricingOwners acting like consumers vs acting like operatorsTime horizons: bad weeks vs real quarterly trendsSeasonality, spring break, and why some months are always softerHow organic social sets the stage for winning ad campaignsThe four things your Instagram should show a strangerWhy inside jokes and blurry class photos hurt your brand“Bad leads” vs weak sales and follow-upThe 40 / 60 / 80 benchmark Sherman's team uses at LassoHow to treat early leads as sales reps for your teamSimple, playful sales language that gets real repliesStu's path from gym cash flow to owning his buildingLease first, then buy, and when to loop in a real estate proUsing events like the Gym Marketing Made Simple event to get real ROIEpisode Chapters00:00 Stop thinking like a consumer, $200 subscription test01:13 Intro: Gym Marketing Made Simple with Sherman, Blake, Josh & Stu02:00 Industry “shrinkage,” CrossFit, and market cycles06:07 Owners, time horizons, and “bad month” panic08:55 Seasonality, spring break, and realistic expectations12:08 Social media that actually backs up your ads18:05 “Bad leads” vs bad sales and weak follow up24:02 Lead benchmarks: 40/60/80 and cold vs warm traffic29:23 Stu's real estate play and buying the building38:06 Why Stu's speaking at the event and how to connect with himConclusionSherman, Blake, Josh, and Stu lay out the gap between what most gym owners think is broken and what is really going on. The gyms that stop blaming Facebook, stop calling everything a “bad lead,” and start owning their numbers, their follow-up, their look and feel, and their lease are the ones that stay in the game when everybody else taps out.CTAIf you want better leads, better closes, and a plan for where your gym is going to live next, subscribe to Gym Marketing Made Simple, share this with another owner who needs it, and book a call with the Lasso team so we can help you tighten up the whole system front to back.

The Washington State Tree Fruit Association came into 2026 with a list of legislative priorities to tackle and look ahead with plenty of following up to do.

Today we're here to share some war investing wisdom with you as we deal with an unusually volatile and fragmented market environment. Distinct "market paradigms" have rapidly rotated month-to-month, creating confusion for investors as sectors behave inconsistently. Despite a strong earnings week and resilient equities, underlying concerns are building, including rising interest rates, surging energy costs, and early signs of economic slowdown that could pressure consumers and corporate margins over time. There is a growing disconnect between market performance and economic reality, warning of potential earnings compression as higher costs and weakening demand squeeze companies. Remain cautious and selective, as the market is difficult to handicap. Right now, patience may be the most prudent strategy. Today we discuss...  Markets are behaving unusually in 2026, driven more by sentiment and geopolitical events than consistent trends. War has disrupted typical market patterns, yet equities have rebounded back to all-time highs. Distinct "pre-war, war, and post-war" paradigms have created sharp, month-to-month sector rotations. Tech and semiconductors have led the recent rally, despite broader inconsistency across sectors. A major earnings week showed mixed results, with strong performance overall but clear winners and losers. Economic data signals a slowing economy, though not yet strong enough to confirm a recession. Rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions are increasing inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty. Consumers are beginning to feel pressure from higher costs, especially energy, which could impact spending. A "margin squeeze" risk is emerging as companies face rising costs and slowing revenue growth. Markets remain resilient despite weakening underlying fundamentals, creating a growing disconnect. Big Tech continues to generate strong cash flow but faces uncertainty due to heavy AI-related capital spending. Emerging markets and rate-sensitive sectors face elevated risks in the current environment. Corporate earnings quality may deteriorate through lowered expectations or financial adjustments. Housing and consumer data remain weak, signaling underlying fragility in the economy. The biggest forward risk to markets is earnings compression rather than inflation or the war itself. Seasonality and historical patterns suggest potential weakness in the coming months.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/war-investing-wisdom-patience-and-caution-813 

"I'm very comfortable not writing perfectly. I think a lot of writers have difficulty writing because they can be such good editors that there's almost this like, inherent need of sometimes rereading the same chapter over and over again and trying to make it perfect. And so I think, for me, I'm very comfortable with the idea of, like, let me just get stuff on paper," says Mary Cain, author of This is Not About Running: A Memoir.It's Mary Cain! She's @runmarycain on Instagram and she serves on the board of The Army of Survivors and the founder of the nonprofit Atalanta NYC which employs professional female runners to serve as mentors to girls in underserved part so the city. For a certain subset of people they're gonna be like, Who dat? To them, I say, Mary was a running prodigy in the 2010s, the fastest high school girl in America and one of the fastest across all ages before the age of 18 in events like the 800 meters and the 1,500. She was recruited by the now disgraced Alberto Salazar for the Nike Oregon Project where she was physically, emotionally, and psychologically abused by Salazar in a win-at-all-costs culture.In 2019, she published a video op-ed with the New York Times that brought down the Nike Oregon Project and Alberto Salazar. It lit a fire and this book is also lighting a firestorm as well.This was a really fun conversation. I was working in specialty running retail when Mary exploded onto the scene, so it was just really cool to chat with her. Part of the appeal for her coming on this show was to talk about the writing, which she's not really going to experience on this book tour, which will primarily be on the running shows. She was very generous with her time and we talked for almost 90 minutes on topics like:Her love of Hemingway Procrastination Writing in the present tense The benefits of reading when you're writing Finishing as a skill Not writing perfectly Sticking to artificial deadlines Seasonality in writing Support networks Starting from pure anger The monetization of fake advocacy And the one sentence she wrote that I wish I wroteMary is a medical student now at STanford University and basically runs for fun. This episode will pair well with my conversations with Maggie Mertens, Christine Yu, Lauren Fleshman and Renee Hess.I had a real blast talking to her and I think you'l enjoy as well. Parting shot on my marathon experience, but for now, here's the super cool Mary Cain.

Felix Hoffmann is the co-founder of 7Learnings, where he helps companies move from intuition-based pricing to predictive, data-driven pricing systems. He previously led pricing optimization at Zalando, managing pricing across millions of products and markets—giving him a front-row seat to how pricing actually behaves in the real world. In this episode, instead of relying on gut feel or delayed results, Felix introduces predictive pricing—a system that forecasts the impact of price changes before you make them. They break down why most pricing decisions today are still reactive, how companies are leaving profit on the table by not simulating outcomes, and why testing alone isn't enough anymore. If you've ever changed prices and hoped for the best—this episode will challenge that approach.   Why You Have to Listen: If you're changing prices without knowing what will happen—this episode shows you a better way. Understand why testing pricing isn't enough—and what comes after testing. Discover how companies are using simulations to make faster, smarter pricing decisions.   "You shouldn't decide based on gut feeling—you should decide based on what you predict will happen." — Felix Hoffmann   Topics Covered: 01:30 – What Is Predictive Pricing? How to forecast the impact of price changes before making them 04:00 – Why "Should We Change Price?" Is the Wrong Question The real question: what happens if you change it 07:00 – What You Need to Predict (Beyond Sales) Profit, costs, returns, and long-term effects of pricing decisions 13:30 – Why Testing Alone Isn't Enough You can't test everything—so you need simulations 17:00 – Competitor Pricing: Guessing vs Predicting Why most companies match competitors blindly—and how to avoid it 20:30 – The Role of External Signals (Weather, Seasonality, Trends) How real-world factors shape pricing decisions 23:30 – B2B vs B2C Pricing Reality Why predictive pricing is easier in high-volume environments 29:00 – Final Advice: Predict First, Decide Second Why simulation is the missing layer in pricing strategy   Key Takeaways: "The question is not: should I change my price? The question is: what happens if I change it?" — Felix Hoffmann "Nobody is doing perfect decisions today… perfect decisions would require mathematical optimization." — Felix Hoffmann   Resources Mentioned: 7Learnings – Platform for predictive pricing and revenue optimization Zalando – Example of large-scale pricing optimization   Connect with Felix Hoffmann: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/felix-hoffmann-7learnings/  Website: https://7learnings.com/    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Markets have surged back to all-time highs, a sharp reversal from just weeks ago when geopolitical fears dominated headlines. With price now clearing all major resistance levels and reclaiming key moving averages, the technical backdrop has improved significantly. Market breadth is expanding, providing a healthier foundation for this rally. However, conditions are now short-term overbought, suggesting a pause or pullback could be next. The key level to watch is the cluster of support formed by recently reclaimed moving averages and high-volume trading zones. If markets can consolidate and hold these levels, it may offer a favorable entry point for investors looking to add exposure. Seasonality also begins to play a role, as post–Tax Day retail flows historically pick up into late April and May. While a summer correction remains a reasonable expectation, the near-term outlook points to consolidation followed by a potential continuation higher.

Ecclesiastes 3 presents life as a rhythm of seasons we don't control, where joy and sorrow arrive like tides and never stay forever. Solomon urges preparation instead of resistance, reminding us that each season is temporary and that wise living means building a life ready for both storms and sunshine, often with the help of others. The passage then lifts our eyes to God's timing, where even broken moments can be woven into something beautiful over time. Rather than overanalyzing life, we're invited to enjoy simple gifts, serve others, and find meaning in everyday work. In the end, God is the master craftsman, shaping the mixed ingredients of life into something lasting, pursuing people with redemption and forming a story that stretches beyond the moment.

Learn how centerlining models can catch quality issues in real time before they become irreversible.Concepts like digital twins, golden batch profiles, and statistical process control have long promised more than they delivered. Virag Vora of Twin Thread argues that layering machine learning on top of these ideas is what finally brings them to life. In this context, a digital twin is entirely data centric: a real time and historical representation of a process that serves as the foundation for AI models.The core use case is batch centerlining. The model compares current conditions against historically successful profiles, segmented by raw material source, product type, and seasonality. An orange juice manufacturer uses Twin Thread to determine whether incoming fruit should be sold fresh or routed to concentrate based on seasonal sugar content. The model identifies contributing variables in real time and alerts operators before a batch drifts beyond recovery.Twin Thread tackles the "not enough data" objection head on. With over 60 connectors, the platform works with the fragmented data reality of most manufacturing sites. Even low frequency data can train a useful model that quantifies what higher resolution instrumentation would unlock.Virag draws a clear line between ML and LLMs for process control. ML models trained on historical data produce deterministic outputs trusted for real time guidance on machine settings. LLMs excel at document retrieval and natural language interaction but are not suited for recommending set points on a live line. Twin Thread layers both: ML handles optimization, while Twin Thread Advisor lets users interrogate data and configure models through conversation.The standout proof point is Hills Pet Nutrition. After three years on Twin Thread, their models automatically feed recommendations into live production. That closed loop followed a deliberate path from human validation to A/B trials to automated execution with operator opt out.About Virag VoraVirag Vora is a solutions professional at Twin Thread, a platform that combines data centric digital twins with machine learning to optimize manufacturing processes. With a background in chemical engineering, Virag began his career deploying MES and DCS systems in biotech and pharma before joining Tulip and then Twin Thread.

In this solo episode, Jean-Martin Fortier celebrates his 48th birthday by reflecting on his 24-year journey as a market gardener. He revisits the foundational influence of Eliot Coleman's The New Organic Grower, emphasizing how the "agricultural craftsmanship" of small-scale farming offers a meaningful alternative to industrial food production. The core of the episode outlines three guiding "North Stars" for the movement: reclaiming the integrity of the organic label, strengthening local food sheds to keep money in the community, and embracing seasonality as a social value. Jean-Martin argues that eating in-season from local greenhouses and root cellars creates a "good food revolution" that is impossible for industrial systems to replicate. He concludes by calling on farmers to stay rooted in their communities and fight for a food system defined by proximity, ecology, and joy.Timestamps [0:00] Intro[04:18] Birthday reflections: 24 years of hustling, dreaming, and the "Good Food Revolution"[06:33] Current projects: Research at FQT farm and the Old Mill garden[08:58] Returning to the source: The enduring influence of Eliot Coleman's The New Organic Grower[12:24] Trends in the movement: From the pressure to scale up to mastering the small-scale model[14:10] Agricultural Craftsmanship: Why growing food is a practice of presence, not industry[19:43] North Star #1: Reclaiming "Organic" and fighting off the dilution of the label[27:32] North Star #2: The power of locality and keeping wealth within the community[33:21] North Star #3: Seasonality as a tool for health, ethics, and community celebration[41:27] Summary: Building a future of proximity, ecology, and back-to-basics joy SponsorsReal Organic Project: Get Involved.

Policy Uncertainty and Market Performance Uncertainty is often viewed as a negative force in financial markets. Periods of geopolitical tension, unclear government policy, or unexpected global events tend to create volatility and investor anxiety. Today's environment is no exception, with elevated uncertainty driven by international conflict, trade concerns, and shifting political dynamics. One way to measure this is through policy uncertainty indexes, which track how unclear or unpredictable government actions are at a given time. Historically, major spikes in uncertainty have occurred during events such as the aftermath of 9/11, the COVID-19 pandemic, and recent global trade disruptions. Current readings suggest uncertainty levels are once again elevated, approaching some of those past peaks. However, market behavior during these periods may be more surprising than expected. While markets generally prefer stability, historical data shows that periods of high policy uncertainty have often been followed by strong returns across multiple timeframes, including one month, three months, six months, and even twelve months. This suggests that markets may interpret policy-driven disruptions as temporary rather than structural. In many cases, uncertainty creates opportunity, as investors who remain disciplined can benefit from eventual stabilization and recovery. While past performance never guarantees future results, this trend reinforces the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective during volatile periods. Inflation, Consumer Prices, and What Comes Next Inflation remains one of the most closely watched economic indicators, directly impacting both consumers and investors. Recent economic data has painted a mixed picture, strong in some areas, yet still uncertain in others. The labor market, for example, has shown resilience. Job growth has exceeded expectations, and wage increases have remained steady, indicating underlying economic strength. However, these figures are inherently backward-looking, reflecting conditions that existed before the most recent geopolitical and economic developments. The more pressing question is how rising costs, particularly energy prices, will ripple through the broader economy. Gas prices, often one of the first visible signs of inflation, play a critical role in determining whether higher costs will spread to other goods and services. This dynamic is closely monitored through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures changes in the price level of a basket of consumer goods and services. The key issue is not just whether prices are rising, but how quickly those increases are being passed on to consumers. Companies may choose to absorb higher costs temporarily, or they may pass them along, impacting inflation readings more directly. The upcoming CPI data will be especially important in determining the trajectory of inflation and, in turn, the direction of interest rates. Policymakers, including the Federal Reserve, will be watching closely as they evaluate whether current pressures are temporary or indicative of a more sustained trend. Seasonality and the Strength of April While uncertainty and inflation dominate headlines, historical market trends offer a more optimistic perspective, particularly when it comes to seasonality. Over the long term, the second quarter of the year has consistently delivered strong performance for equities, ranking just behind the fourth quarter. Within that period, April stands out as one of the most reliable months for market gains. Since 1950, April has been positive approximately 70% of the time for the S&P 500, making it the second-best month of the year historically. This pattern suggests that, despite short-term volatility, markets often find footing during this period. Several factors may contribute to this trend, including the inflow of tax refunds, renewed investor activity following the first quarter, and improving economic visibility as the year progresses. While seasonality alone should never drive investment decisions, it can provide a helpful tailwind when combined with other supportive factors. After a volatile start to the year, these historical patterns offer a measure of cautious optimism. If past trends hold, April and the broader second quarter could provide an opportunity for stabilization and potential growth.

Welcome, dear foodie friends, to my charming hometown of Barrington, Illinois. I'm your host, Margaret McSweeney, and it is such a joy to welcome you to a very special episode of Kitchen Chat as we celebrate a culinary destination that is truly elevating the spirit of our community. I am so honored to feature the visionary Chef and Owner of the new Progressive American restaurant Noe, Robert Gadsby. Many thanks to Quintessential Barrington for introducing me to Chef Robert and Noe. Impressive, innovative, and intentional are the words that best describe Chef Gadsby's cuisine, and today we explore the profound emotional authenticity, seasonality, and excellence that elevate every dish he creates. Although Chef Robert Gadsby has worked with some of the most iconic chefs around the world, his mother and the family's Victory Garden in England had a major influence on his appreciation of fresh produce and food preparation. The above photo features Chef Robert's mother, grandfather and sister in the family's Victory Garden in England. At the heart of Noe's mission is a Four Pillars philosophy—Seasonality, Sustainability, Technique, and Community—which serves as a sacred reminder that Progressive American cuisine is a rigorous commitment to both the land and the craft. In this episode, we go behind the scenes to discover how Noe defines the new American palate through a sophisticated global lens. Their culinary identity is masterfully forged by French sophistication, Italian freshness of product—aligned perfectly with the seasonality of the Victory Gardens—and the unwavering Japanese discipline of execution. Most of all, it is defined by a distinct American ingenuity that transforms these influences into something entirely original. Join us as we explore how this soulful intentionality brings a world-class perspective to our Barrington landscape. Savor the day!

March 30, 2026It pays to know what people already care about.The following conversation illustrates one of the ways in which this pays.“If I spend money on advertising, what will I get in return?”It depends on what you say in your ads.“What do you mean?”Most ads have no relevance to most people.“Yes, that's why you need to target the right people.”There is some truth in that, but not as much as you think.“What do you mean?”You can reach the right person, but if they have no current need for what you sell, you can only hope that they remember you when they do have a need.“So, what's the answer?”The answer is to talk to people about what they already care about. Speak to what currently interests them.“Can you give me a couple of examples?”Sure.Public Relations experts know that a highly relevant press release will deliver amazing results when it can be inserted into a conversation that people are already having.Mass Media experts know that TV and Radio ads deliver amazing results when they:(A) speak to values and beliefs that already reside in the hearts of the masses(B) introduce relatable, interesting characters so that people can bond with them(C) use 40 percent of the total ads to create “sales activation” by making an offer of a product or service during a time when it is at peak desirability.“But even when something is at peak desirability, don't I have to be able to reach the right people?”When you are using mass media, you can depend on the behavior of the masses.“What do you mean?”Most products and services will be at peak desirability during these three types of trigger events.(A) Seasonality.Every spring, the masses want junk removal, lawn fertilizer, gardening equipment and supplies, home improvement tools and materials, warm-weather clothing, A/C check-ups and a huge variety of other products and services. Each month of the year triggers its own felt needs.(B) Holidays. Each holiday triggers its own thoughts, emotions, and desires. New Year's Day is when people invest in diet programs, gym memberships, and programs to help them quit smoking. Valentine's Day is romance, and Memorial Day is when retailers have discount events, and then we have End-of-School, Vacation Season, Back-to-School, Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. Each of these are each trigger events that every company can build upon.(C) Personal Trigger Events.Moving out of a home or into a home is a personal trigger event that cannot be predicted by even the best AI. Likewise, engagement ring purchases, hot water heater replacement, funeral services, and car repairs happen at unexpected and unplanned times. Does it make sense to wait until the “Zero Moment of Truth” and then pay the price to generate an extremely expensive, low-conversion click? Or should you become the company the masses “think of first and feel the best about” when their personal trigger event occurs? Low-cost, high-conversion clicks are the result of people typing your name into the search engine because you have already won their hearts through the ongoing use of low-cost mass media.CONCLUSION:What you say in your mass media ads determines whether or not you will own real estate in the hearts and minds of the masses.BONUS INFORMATION:Youtube has become a new type of Mass Media.I decided to start a couple of Youtube channels in February.On March 4th, I decided to do an experiment. It began to pay off on March 5th.Twenty-one days later, the results of those two experiments was a combined total of 1,234,238 new subscribers at a total cost of 2 cents per subscriber.When a person subscribes, they are telling you,“I love this and want more of it.”If you want to know how much I spent to gain 1.2 million subscribers in just 21 days, all you have to do is multiply 1,234,238 by 0.02. (If you want to know precisely how much I spent, multiply 1,234,238 by 0.020319090498)But that does not mean that all you have to do is spend the money.You can buy views with money, but you cannot buy subscribers.Subscribers are earned by what you say. You have to speak to a need that people already feel.Weak, limp advertising tries to convince people that they need something that they do not feel they need.Speak about what people already care about.That's the ticket.Roy H. Williams

Do you want to know investment success secrets? Look no further than today's discussion! The long-dominant "buy the Magnificent 7 and forget it" tech trade is fading, with sector rotation favoring energy, materials, and staples while technology and discretionary lag. Drawing on presidential cycle data, it seems markets often experience weakness and corrections in midterm years before potential strength later, though today's backdrop of sticky inflation, high debt, and constrained Federal Reserve policy could challenge historical norms. Liquidity over politics is the true market driver and power preservation incentives may shape fiscal and economic decisions and highlights opportunities in defensive sectors and fixed income if rates fall. As always, disciplined investing is the most important: avoid ego, abandon rigid outcome-based predictions, adopt scenario-based thinking, respect price action, and define in advance when you are wrong. We discuss... The long-standing strategy of simply buying mega-cap tech stocks is breaking down as sector leadership rotates. Energy, materials, and staples are outperforming while technology and discretionary stocks lag, signaling possible market-top behavior. Historical sector rotation patterns suggest markets may be transitioning from expansion toward a late-cycle phase. Midterm presidential years historically bring volatility and frequent 10–20% corrections before potential recovery. Liquidity is framed as the primary force driving market cycles. Today's environment of sticky inflation, high debt, and constrained Federal Reserve policy may weaken the reliability of historical patterns. Defensive sectors and fixed income could benefit if growth slows and interest rates decline. Political incentives around power preservation may influence fiscal decisions and economic optics heading into elections. Investors are warned not to blindly "buy the dip," especially in volatile assets like crypto. The hosts stress that price action ultimately determines whether an investment thesis is right or wrong. Ego and overconfidence are identified as major threats to long-term investing success. Outcome-based thinking is discouraged in favor of scenario-based planning across multiple probable outcomes. Behavioral research shows experts often double down when wrong, reinforcing the importance of flexibility. Successful investing requires humility, adaptability, risk management, and clearly defined exit strategies.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.cominvesting-success-secrets-793  

Hiring can feel like a huge big leap. It's expensive. It's vulnerable to let other people into your business. And if you've been doing everything yourself, it can also feel maybe unnecessary.  But what if building a team isn't a risk? It's actually a smart move for stabilizing and scaling your business. That's what we're digging into today with Angie Chua of bobo design studio and bobo Palm Springs. You may remember Angie from episode 426 where we talked about what's happening with Amazon right now using AI to scrape websites. Today's conversation is more personal. We're talking about her evolution from the digital advertising world to building a travel-inspired stationery brand and a thriving brick-and-mortar shop in Palm Springs.  Angie shares what it was really like growing her business, the missteps, the hiring decisions, the moments of doubt that we all kind of face, and also the shifts that helped her step into true leadership.  We talk about what happens when you hire your first employee, what it takes to let go of control, the reality of outsourcing to agency, and what that looked like for Angie, including what worked and what didn't, and why having a solid bookkeeper isn't optional if you want to scale a product-based business sustainably.  She also opened up about her commitment to supporting artists from marginalized communities, how she navigates the seasonality of retail in Palm Springs, and what it looks like to practice self-compassion while growing a business. This is a grounded, honest conversation about growth, not a highlight reel, but the real version.

Spring doesn't arrive all at once. It sneaks in slowly—the first warm afternoon, the extra hour of daylight, the return of outside play and evening walks. After the long gray days of winter, spring offers something different: momentum.In this Habits & Holidays episode, Clayton Greene, Chris Pappalardo, and Amy Kavanaugh explore the spiritual and practical opportunities of “surely spring”—that stretch between winter's heaviness and summer's freedom. They discuss how the rhythms of school, work, weather, and the Church calendar all converge to create a unique season of stride—a time to lean into growth, alignment, and meaningful family habits.Rather than expecting life to look the same all year long, spring invites families to embrace seasonality: to notice what God is already doing, and to respond with intentionality.TakeawaysSpring creates momentum after the heaviness of winter.Seasonality affects our capacity, mood, and spiritual rhythms.Spiritual habits can—and should—shift with the calendar.Spring offers unique opportunities for growth, beauty, and alignment.Easter anchors spring as a season of renewal and hope.Families can use spring's energy to establish meaningful rhythms outdoors and at home.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Habits and Holidays introduction02:55 Why seasons shape family and spiritual life03:42 How seasonality affects mood, capacity, and relationships04:28 Giving yourself permission for seasonal spiritual habits05:30 Escaping the “flatness” of modern life07:24 Defining the boundaries of “surely spring”09:42 The opportunities spring creates for families09:59 Beauty, gardening, and cultivating outdoor spaces12:25 The return of outdoor play and family life outside13:26 Daylight savings, Lent, and preparing for Easter15:23 Spring as a season of rhythm, flow, and momentum16:49 Why spring feels like the natural stride of the year18:10 Spring break and pacing the spiritual and family calendar19:25 Where spring appears in the biblical story20:47 Goal-setting, alignment, and faithful momentum

Today we're talking about something that really matters if you love land, own land, or dream about owning a big backyard property: Seasonality for homes on small acreage (½ acre to 5+ acres) in DFW. Most people assume real estate seasonality is simple - spring and summer are hot, fall and winter are slow. But does that hold true for homes on land? The truth? Homes on land follow a similar seasonal bell curve as traditional home, but they operate on multiple levels: Buying & selling cycles Planting & pruning cycles Tax valuation timing School & family schedules Even the emotional “romance” of being outside If you're buying, you may want to shop when everything looks dormant and other buyers aren't excited. If you're selling, you want to tell the story - apples on the tree, grill fired up, swing hanging in the oak tree. That's strategy. And that's what most people miss. If you're thinking about buying, selling, or just maximizing the lifestyle of your acreage property, we'd love to help. 214-310-0008 Don't just follow the crowd. Understand the seasons. Use them to your advantage.

In this episode, Adam Koós sits down with David Keller, CMT (host of Market Misbehavior) for a practical conversation about using technical analysis the way advisors actually need it: to manage risk, stay disciplined, and help clients understand what's happening without jargon. You'll hear how Adam's early-career experience through the 2000–2002 bear market shaped his shift away from "hope-and-hold" messaging—toward a model-driven, trend-aware process—plus the exact types of charts he believes advisors should keep in front of them during client conversations.

Think a small TPT catalog can't make a dent? We walk through the real numbers from a tiny, neglected second store—23 paid products, zero bundles, minimal email, almost no social—and how it still earned $538 last year and $63 in January. The secret isn't hustle for hustle's sake; it's an intentional system that turns limited time into repeatable outcomes.We break down the “create three” approach that accelerates validation: design three product templates, publish a few in each, then double down on the line that gets traction. Morning work rose to the top because it's fast to produce, easy to explain, and simple to expand with themes and grade levels. By reusing layouts and clip art across listings, creation time drops, brand clarity grows, and previews stay consistent—making it easier for buyers to add multiple related items to their carts.Seasonality and light SEO do quiet heavy lifting. A quick monthly sweep to refresh titles, descriptions, and tags for upcoming holidays kept products visible without a big marketing push. We also unpack the realistic math of scaling: double the listings, roughly double the revenue; add bundles to lift average order value; and nurture a small email list with helpful, on-theme content. Most importantly, we show why intention outperforms volume—fewer, better products in a coherent line often beat scattered catalogs built on guesswork.Whether you're new to TPT or rethinking a mature store, you'll leave with a clear playbook: validate fast, standardize templates, expand winning lines, optimize before peak seasons, and treat your shop like a business if you want business-level results. If this breakdown helped, follow the show, share it with a TPT friend, and leave a quick review so more teacher-sellers can find it.

This week we're tackling what sounds like a boring topic… but could make or save you a LOT of money: seasonality in the residential real estate market. Most people think real estate = spring and summer. Buy when school's out. Sell when the flowers bloom. Wait until the weather's nice. But is that actually the smartest move? Here's the big takeaway: There's nothing wrong with buying or selling in peak season… unless you're doing it without a strategy. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, remodeling, or just trying to time things wisely - there are opportunities in every season. You just need to know how to navigate them. If you want a customized game plan instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, give us a call 214-310-0008 to connect with our team. We'd love to help you win in spring, winter, or any time in between. www.dallashomerealty.comAnd remember… Should you follow the crowd? No. Totally. Haha

Zach Warring and Mackenzie Peterson break down DraftKings (DKNG) earnings as prediction markets gain popularity. The stock fell over 10% after the report, despite record-breaking revenue. Mackenzie points out it missed on EPS and notes a flatter trend for long-term growth, saying it looks “choppy” from here. She argues seasonality is impacting results as well. Zach thinks management is “doing the right thing” by being conservative and calls this pullback a buying opportunity. They both discuss how prediction markets are impacting betting stocks and whether DraftKings will join that business.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The old retail calendar is dead. Between TikTok virality, celebrity sightings, and ChatGPT-powered discovery, brands face a new reality: commerce runs on culture's clock. Nicole Thomas (Brex) and Anand Mehta (Melio) break down how this shift from predictable peaks to perpetual possibility demands radical financial agility.Key takeaways:Retail shifted from twice-yearly peaks to monthly cultural spikes brands can't predictCash conversion cycle reveals hidden supplier payment leverage beyond inventory optimizationCredit card float extends working capital without compounding traditional loan debtLiquidity separates trend leaders from trend chasers regardless of business sizeKey Quotes:Nicole Thomas [00:06:27]: "Seasonality is kind of taking shape in the way that it's less of like these ebbs and flows maybe twice a year to maybe once a month. If your product goes viral or if a celebrity endorses something, your consumers are now expecting to get those products when they want it."Anand Mehta [00:22:17]: "Costco managed to have a very low, if not negative cash conversion cycle because their store is the warehouse. They've already sold and converted their inventory to cash before they even have to pay it out."Nicole Thomas [00:37:06]: "Commerce is definitely making a big shift to flattening out, but not flattening out enough to where you can actually predict those peaks and valleys. We're definitely shifting from a calendar economy to more of a cultural economy."Anand Mehta [00:32:14]: "This use case of extending cash flow isn't just for businesses who are struggling. If you're a brand that is very liquid, having that cash buffer allows you to be a brand that's jumping in on a trend in the early stages of the trend, not chasing a trend."In-Show Mentions:Learn more about BrexLearn more about MelioCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?
