Lightsabers and Laptops: One Woman's Journey to Self-AcceptanceWhat happens when a 30-year corporate veteran decides to reinvent herself as an entrepreneur? Julie Thiel's journey from HR executive to founder of Thiel Talent Strategy reveals the profound transformation that occurs when we dare to align our work with our deepest values.Julie's wake-up call came during her daughter's junior year of high school. While negotiating compensation deals on her phone at softball tournaments, she realized she was missing precious moments that would never return. This epiphany sparked a complete reassessment of her relationship with work and motherhood—one that would eventually lead her to entrepreneurship.The conversation dives deep into the unexpected challenges of the corporate-to-entrepreneur transition. While Julie assumed her extensive HR expertise would be her greatest asset, she discovered that mindset became the true game-changer. "I had to unlearn hierarchical thinking," she explains, describing how she initially evaluated networking contacts through a corporate lens of authority and position. Learning to approach every conversation as an equal opened doors to authentic connections that transformed her business.Particularly moving is Julie's candid discussion of her IVF journey and how that experience taught her the power of surrender. The pain of wanting something desperately—a child—while facing circumstances beyond her control parallels the vulnerability of entrepreneurship. Through meditation and deep reflection, Julie reached a place of acceptance that whatever happened would be right. This hard-won wisdom continues to guide her business decisions today.For working mothers wrestling with guilt and perfectionism, Julie's message is liberating: "I had to accept being an average dog owner and sometimes an average housekeeper to be fully present for what truly matters." Her daughter's recent graduation and departure for college validates this approach—the moments missed on field trips pale in comparison to the strong relationship they've built.Julie's enthusiasm for her "geeky" interests like Star Wars and lightsaber battle leagues reflects her growing comfort with authenticity. "There was a time I would have worried what people would think," she laughs, "but now I'm like, this is fun, so I'm going to do it." This same fearless authenticity fuels her business approach, attracting clients who value her unique perspective.Want to recreate your relationship with work, motherhood, and self-expectation? Julie's journey offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to build a life where work enhances rather than diminishes our most precious connections.

In today's episode, Kip takes us through a powerful midweek market wrap. Kip reflects on another strong performance from the markets, diving into the ongoing debate around seasonality, market timing, and why his team at VRA remains bullish despite the cautionary tales from “seasonality bears.” He discusses the importance of a disciplined approach to investing and how systematic monthly dollar cost averaging in their top growth stocks has become a game changer by removing emotion from decision making. Kip also revisits his conviction that the bear market ended in early April, comparing the current recovery to the post-pandemic rally and making a bold case for why trying to time exits based on seasonal charts could be a mistake right now. He touches on striking topics from the mechanics of inflation, interest rates, and America's “melt-up” moment, to the impact tariffs have or rather have not on inflation.

Amaro is bitter, complex, and a little mysterious — and most people have no idea what it actually is. So in this episode, Eli talks with the folks behind Sennza Finne, a Seattle-based amaro producer making small-batch, seasonal expressions. We get into what amaro is (and isn't); how their experience as bartenders shaped their process; and why every bottle they make is designed to reflect a specific season — not just its flavors. So whether you're amaro-curious or already a bitter believer, this one's for you.We Want to Hear from You!Have a topic, craft category, or craft company you'd like to see us cover?

Tesla's (TSLA) massive slide to the downside pulled the SPX down with it. However, as Kevin Green points out, a bounce off the lows kept the worst possible technical scenario off the table. The index came just short of the 6,000 level at the highs. Kevin also warns of seasonal volatility trends coming into play, which includes the Fed's interest rate meeting later this month.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Tom welcomes back Chris Vermeulen, the founder of The Technical Traders, to discuss the highly volatile year of 2025 so far. He notes that volatility has been extreme across various asset classes, driven by factors like geopolitical tensions, AI advancements, and fears of an impending recession. Vermeulen emphasized that while day traders thrive in such environments due to significant intraday swings, swing traders face increased risks with massive price gaps. Long-term investors should prioritize capital preservation by moving to cash until market clarity emerges, as he believes a bear market has already begun. He warned against the "buy the dip" mentality, especially for those nearing retirement, cautioning that this approach could lead to significant losses in a prolonged bear market. Vermeulen points out key indicators of an impending financial reset, including economic data showing hiring declines and rising unemployment, as well as housing market corrections with inventories soaring. Gold was discussed as a safe haven asset, though Vermeulen cautioned about potential pullbacks. He suggested that gold miners could offer better opportunities once the market stabilizes. Seasonality plays a role in his analysis, noting that stock markets typically struggle post-May, aligning with his bearish outlook. Real estate was also addressed, with Vermeulen predicting price drops of 15-20% and warning about the broader economic impact as housing values decline. He highlighted the psychological effect on investors when their largest asset depreciates, potentially leading to panic selling across markets. The U.S. dollar's potential strength was discussed, with Vermeulen suggesting it could rally in a risk-off environment.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes Florian Grummes back to the show to discuss his outlook for silver, gold, and the broader economic landscape. Grummes, a veteran technical trader and analyst, set a target of $50 per ounce for silver by late spring 2025, noting that silver often lags behind gold but tends to surge at the end of a bull market. He highlighted silver's industrial demand, particularly in the solar and electric vehicle sectors, as key drivers for its price appreciation. Grummes also pointed to physical silver shipments from London to New York as a sign of an impending spike. Grummes emphasized the role of macroeconomic factors, including central bank policies and geopolitical tensions, in shaping precious metals markets. He warns that while gold has reached record highs, significant volatility could emerge if stock market corrections deepen. Grummes also touches on the importance of seasonality, suggesting that summer months might see reduced trading activity. Discussing mining stocks, Grummes acknowledges their underperformance relative to metal prices but expressed optimism about future gains, particularly as larger producers with strong margins begin acquiring smaller companies. He stresses the importance of scaling in and out of positions to manage risk effectively. Grummes concludes by emphasizing the psychological aspects of trading, urging listeners to take responsibility for their decisions and learn from past mistakes.

Today we're welcoming Lynn from Fresh Coast Cabins, whose journey from digital marketing executive to cabin entrepreneur offers a refreshing perspective on placemaking in the wilderness of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. From renovating a single rustic cabin to developing a collection of lakeside retreats, a public sauna, and now even a bar and event space, Lynn shares how her passion for creating meaningful experiences has evolved into a thriving ecosystem of hospitality ventures. We'll explore her philosophy that cabin culture is about connecting guests to the unique beauty and heritage of Lake Superior, including the area's deep Finnish roots and mining history. Whether you're curious about managing guest expectations in remote locations, navigating the balance between rustic charm and modern comforts, or interested in leveraging digital marketing to build direct bookings, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and a thoughtful perspective on intentional growth. We'll dive into everything from the ritual of seasonality along Lake Superior's shores to the challenges of operating in a place where the nearest big box store is three hours away, and why sometimes the most memorable experiences come from embracing the imperfections rather than hiding them.
