Global managed services contracts are experiencing reduced momentum as buyers display notable hesitation to commit to long-term agreements during a period defined by organizational pivots toward artificial intelligence. The Information Services Group reported only a 1.2% quarter-over-quarter increase in large managed services contracts in late 2025, totaling $10.9 billion, with full-year growth barely above 1%. While U.S. activity partially offsets contractions in EMEA and APAC, the prevailing environment is one of caution, shaped less by CIOs and more by business and finance leaders redirecting budgets to support internal AI initiatives and flexible operating arrangements.The growth in technology distributor activity in North America highlights increased market fragmentation rather than expanded service levels. Omdia Tech Services data indicates distributor billings grew almost 15% in 2024, reaching $16.6 billion, with over 72% of transactions concentrated among six distributors. Most billings originated with technology advisors, and both value-added resellers and MSPs contributed smaller shares. This shift points to a market emphasizing flexible sourcing—with more intermediaries and shorter deals—but raises questions about MSP control, as authority and accountability can become diluted.Intel's latest financial disclosures reveal persistent supply and execution challenges in delivering AI infrastructure solutions. Despite exceeding earnings expectations, weak revenue forecasts and admission of supply constraints resulted in a 13% decrease in company stock. The vendor attributed its underperformance to capacity shortages and forecasting issues, underscoring the risks MSPs now face in hardware planning for AI deployments. Additionally, the commoditization of key offerings such as Microsoft 365 backup and the automation of technology review processes further compress execution margins, reducing traditional revenue sources for service providers.For MSPs and IT leaders, these developments reinforce the need to reassess risk allocation, authority, and pricing models in client engagements. With execution becoming both cheaper and less differentiated, value must shift toward governance, outcome accountability, and explicit decision ownership. Delays or misjudgments related to hardware supply and service fulfillment present direct threats to project continuity and client satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of operational flexibility, active vendor management, and strategic repositioning of service offerings. Three things to know today 00:00 As Managed Services Stall Globally, Distributor-Led IT Buying Gains Momentum04:58 Intel Beats on Earnings but Misses on Confidence as AI Demand Outpaces Capacity07:27 As Backup and Reviews Are Automated, MSP Differentiation Shifts from Execution to Decision Ownership This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/

Episode 3890: Nir Eyal challenges the popular belief that willpower is a limited resource and reveals how this mindset can sabotage our ability to stay disciplined. Backed by research from Carol Dweck and Michael Inzlicht, the article reframes willpower as an emotion that fluctuates and can be managed, not something we "run out" of. Shifting this perspective can help us build resilience, make better decisions, and stop using "lack of willpower" as an excuse to quit. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/about-willpower/ Quotes to ponder: "Believing we do [run out of willpower] makes us less likely to accomplish our goals, by providing a rationale to quit when we could otherwise persist." "Ego-depletion is essentially caused by self-defeating thoughts and not by any biological limitation." "Rather than telling ourselves we failed because we're somehow deficient, we should offer self-compassion by speaking to ourselves with kindness when we experience setbacks."

N.W.A, the self proclaimed “most dangerous group in America,” were seen as violent, thuggish, profanity-spewing criminals, but they had nothing on those who were sworn to serve and protect them in South Central Los Angeles. The group's hard hitting beats and reality rhymes launched a “gangsta rap” trend in music that still thrives today, and their album Straight Outta Compton predicted one of the most notoriously violent events in American history.

In Episode 141 of SITREP, hosts CannCon and Alpha Warrior break down the latest developments shaping the strategic and geopolitical landscape. The discussion focuses on military posture, escalation signals, and how messaging from leadership, institutions, and adversaries reflects deeper movement beneath the surface. CannCon and Alpha examine patterns in timing, coordination, and response, highlighting how actions on the world stage often communicate more than official statements alone. The episode also explores the balance between deterrence and provocation, the role of perception in modern conflict, and the risks that emerge when red lines are tested or ignored. Throughout the conversation, the hosts emphasize situational awareness, historical context, and the importance of reading between the lines as events continue to unfold. This episode offers a grounded assessment of where things stand, what signals matter most, and why the current moment demands close attention.

In Episode #1141 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers his signature unfiltered take on the fight against cancel culture and corruption in Jackson, Mississippi, and beyond. Kicking off with FAFO Friday vibes, Clay dives into viral local drama, including a wild brawl at a Pearl store and shoutouts to listeners rocking the merch. He breaks down the recent BLM attack on a Minnesota church, labeling it a terrorist act and calling out the group's hypocrisy, with a deep dive into "MAGA coded" slang and media bias. A caller shares thoughts on racial double standards in protests, while Clay hands out FAFO championships to arrested BLM figures. Shifting gears, he shares NFL championship picks for the Patriots vs. Broncos and Rams vs. Seahawks, plus WWE Royal Rumble predictions. The episode heats up with a rant on Epstein list obsession versus Trump's real-world wins like border security. Closing strong, State Rep. Fred Shanks joins for a Capitol update, discussing NIL tax breaks for college athletes, the pitfalls of high school NIL deals, controversial bills like dog hunting restrictions, and out-of-state dark money attacks on conservatives over school choice votes. Strap in for raw reality radio—no holds barred.

In Episode #1141 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards unleashes his unfiltered fury on FAFO Friday, zeroing in on the chaos of anti-ICE protesters getting hilariously sabotaged. Clay breaks down how MAGA-coded folks are hijacking the "report ICE activity" hotlines, sending fake tips that lure beta soy boys and communists straight into biker bars—leading to epic beatdowns and a reminder that messing with law enforcement backfires hard. Shifting to the Epstein list obsession, Clay rants against those with "Epstein derangement syndrome" who are ditching Trump over unproven conspiracies, arguing that real wins like deporting illegal immigrants matter way more than mythical client lists that won't change your daily life. Strap in for raw takes on domestic terrorists, outside agitators, and why you gotta appreciate the border battles over island scandals—no sugarcoating, just straight fire.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' loss to the Islanders, the end of Connor McDavid's point streak, Edmonton's goaltending dilemma, line combos, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Oilers are blowing their January homestand. Given that they've lost twice as many home games as they've won, it's hard not to think that Edmonton is dropping the ball on a golden opportunity to make up some ground in the standings. Shifting gears, the guys looked at last night's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins and wondered how much of that loss the boys hung on Tristan Jarry, given that he allowed six goals on the night. While no one is saying Jarry was very good, the reality is that the skaters in front of him were just as bad, if not worse. We also discussed Leon Draisaitl's return to the lineup, and how it was a valiant effort by Drai, considering the heavy week he had and the long travel back from Germany. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season stretch drive well underway, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Hey listeners, picture this: it's been a whirlwind few days in the courts, with President Donald Trump's legal battles dominating headlines from the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., all the way to Capitol Hill. Just two days ago, on Wednesday, January 21, I was glued to the live updates from SCOTUSblog as the nation's highest court dove into Trump v. Cook, a blockbuster case over Trump's bold move to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from the Board of Governors. The arguments kicked off at 10 a.m. sharp in the majestic Supreme Court chamber, with Trump administration lawyers defending the president's authority to remove her, claiming it's essential for executive control over the independent Fed. On the other side, Lisa Cook's powerhouse attorney, Paul Clement—the guy often called the LeBron James of the Supreme Court for his wins under President George W. Bush—argued fiercely that Fed governors serve 14-year terms protected by statute, shielding them from political whims.Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell showed up in person, drawing fire from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who blasted it on CNBC as a mistake that politicizes the Fed. Bessent said, and I quote from the report, "If you're trying not to politicize the Fed, for the Fed chair to be sitting there trying to put his thumb on the scale, that's a mistake." Bloomberg Law highlighted Clement's role, noting his recent clashes with the Trump team on everything from Big Law firm executive orders to Harvard's foreign student visa fights. The justices grilled both sides intensely—Justice Amy Coney Barrett even pressed a lawyer on disagreements with the government's brief—leaving everyone buzzing about a potential ruling that could reshape presidential power over economic watchdogs.But that's not all. Shifting to Congress, yesterday, Thursday, January 22, the House Judiciary Committee in the 2141 Rayburn House Office Building held a tense 10 a.m. hearing titled "Oversight of the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith." Lawmakers zeroed in on Smith's office, scrutinizing his past investigations and prosecutions of President Trump and his co-defendants in cases tied to the 2020 election and classified documents. Tension was thick as Republicans pushed for accountability, while Democrats defended the probes' integrity—echoes of Smith's indictments that rocked the nation before Trump's return to the White House.Meanwhile, other Trump-related fights simmer. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco scheduled a June hearing on Trump's appeal of an Oregon federal judge's injunction blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, after the Supreme Court sided against a similar Illinois push last month, per The Oregonian. Lawfare's Trump Administration Litigation Tracker noted a dismissal as moot on January 14 in a case over dismantling the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, one of dozens tracking the administration's court clashes. And don't forget the Supreme Court's recent denials of gun rights petitions, though they punted on one involving a woman's old check-forgery conviction—Trump's influence looms large even there.As these battles unfold, from Fed independence to prosecutorial oversight, the stakes feel sky-high for our democracy and economy. Will the justices side with Trump's firing power? What's next for Jack Smith's legacy? Listeners, thanks for tuning in—come back next week for more updates.

Successful, But Unfulfilled: Corrie's Leadership Turning Point Are you a successful, but unfulfilled, leader?  Corrie wasn't burned out or failing, but she was unfulfilled, questioning herself, and missing the spark that once made her work feel meaningful. This is the story of how one woman stopped trying to "push through" and started realigning how she worked, led, and carried responsibility. Fulfillment doesn't require walking away from success. Sometimes, it requires learning how to lead and work differently from the inside out. In this episode, Blake helps unpack a real leadership success story. Corrie was successful by every external measure—strong leader, solid career, flexibility, income, and trust. And yet, she felt drained, disengaged, and quietly questioning herself.  You'll hear why successful leaders feel unfulfilled at work and how she found leadership fulfillment without changing jobs. Instead, she found clarity, gained energy, and reignited the spark that once made her work meaningful.   Episode Highlights The Hidden Struggle of Successful Leaders [01:55] - Dreading getting out of bed despite driving results [03:20] - When job searching becomes a cycle of rejection [04:38] - The belief that "this is just how it is" once you climb the ladder When Job Changes Don't Fix the Problem [16:49] - How constant rejection erodes confidence [18:50] - Missing the signs to stop and ask "What am I missing?" [20:10] - The frustration of wanting results now vs. reflection The Perspective Shift That Changed Everything [25:01] - Realizing misalignment was the real problem [27:04] - Understanding what truly motivates you beyond revenue [30:34] - Taking back your power from external circumstances Becoming a Better Leader by Carrying Less [44:37] - Getting the same results in fewer hours by working differently [48:41] - Learning you have more control than you thought Fulfillment Without Sacrificing Career or Family [50:46] - Moving from personal to seeing the bigger picture [53:26] - Shifting from desperation mode to empowered [55:51] - Why the journey was worth it   Powerful Quotes " I kept thinking I'm okay. And then I got to a point where I just wasn't happy anymore. I wasn't excited to go to work. I wasn't excited about, you know, those results I was driving. I was just dreading getting out of bed. And it was more than just like depression or anything like that. It was like, I really had nothing to look forward to.  And I just noticed it was impacting my life, my relationships. And I'm like, I need to make a change." -Corrie  "I didn't realize that you can be happy in your career once you climb the ladder, but this whole process has really just opened up my eyes. And not just in my career, but like in life in general with my family and my friends and hobbies and everything." -Corrie  "It's okay to ask for help. I was always the person who had the answers. So when it came to the point where I needed help, I didn't even know what to do or where to turn." -Corrie  "The only way we really can truly create change is to understand what we need and how we can be empowered to create that change for ourselves." -Blake Schofield "Your career is not in your manager's hands. It's in your hands. You have control of this." -Corrie      Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

In this critical and timely episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini is joined by Melainie Rogers, Founder and CEO of BALANCE Eating Disorder Treatment Center, to navigate the chaotic "wild west" of the current weight loss landscape. As GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy saturate the market, Melainie pulls back the curtain on the alarming side effects that are often swept under the rug—from significant muscle atrophy to "medically induced anorexia." This conversation challenges the pervasive myth that thinness equals health, exposing how the lack of informed consent and the rise of med-spa prescriptions are setting the stage for a future of metabolic damage and disordered eating.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ever feel your team is waiting on you for every decision while your vision work gathers dust? We sat down with Shirley Williani, founder and CEO of A la Carte Solutions, to unpack the precise tools and hiring moves that remove a CEO from the approval queue and put momentum back into the business. Shirley shares how a sabbatical sparked hard feedback from her team, the wake-up moment that she was the bottleneck, and the simple decision matrix that reshaped accountability overnight.We dig into the matrix itself—two axes, consequence and reversibility—and how to sort choices into “decide,” “decide and inform,” and “consult the CEO.” You'll hear real examples, from client discounts to system changes, and how those rules gave managers confidence while freeing Shirley to focus on vision, culture, sales, and marketing. The conversation also reaches upstream to the talent pipeline: why “lifestyle change” candidates often lack urgency, how to spot motivated applicants with probing, story-rich questions, and what a rigorous nine-step recruiting process can do for retention and performance.Shirley also traces her journey from KPMG and a CFO seat to launching a fractional accounting model when a client wanted a unicorn hire. That structural insight—match roles to actual skills—echoes through her leadership playbook. We close with candid talk about habits, comparison traps, and the mental shift from inner critic to inner champion, including a daily practice that strengthens self-trust. If you're ready to scale decision-making, lower unwanted churn, and lead with a clearer mind, this conversation offers practical frameworks you can implement today.Enjoyed the episode?

The discussion centers on escalating pressure across multiple institutions, the consequences of past decisions now coming into focus, and the visible strain on systems designed to maintain control.

World on Fire, Shifting Global Order is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

On this episode of Fantastic Forum we're talking about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Galactic from publisher DSTLRY, and the animated movie All You Need Is Kill. Starfleet Academy is the newest live-action entry in the Star Trek universe, premiering on Paramount+, it follows the first new class of Starfleet cadets in over a century as they train aboard the USS Athena in the 32nd century. Created by Gaia Violo and co-showrun by Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau, it attempts to blend classic Trek exploration with coming-of-age drama and interstellar conflict. Shifting gears to comics, Galactic from DSTLRY is a hyper-kinetic interstellar adventure written by Curt Pires with art by Amilcar Pinna. It's pitched as a blend of blockbuster sci-fi and lovers-on-the-run romance, following a roguish bounty hunter tasked with retrieving a runaway princess, only to find themselves tangled in a sprawling galactic war and unexpected emotional stakes. And on the big screen, All You Need Is Kill is a striking animated adaptation produced by Studio 4°C and directed by Kenichiro Akimoto. Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's influential sci-fi novel (the source material for Edge of Tomorrow), this version tells the time-loop story following warriors trapped in death-and-reset cycles as they fight an alien threat and inch closer to breaking their endless loop. We've consumed the media, let the thoughts percolate, and now we're ready to break down what worked, what didn't, and why each entry deserves discussion.

On the podcast, I talk with Cem about the premium trap many apps fall into, why free trials work even for freemium products, and how ‘try for $0.00' actually outperforms ‘try for free'.Top Takeaways:

Standing Firm in Shifting Times - Part 3 Speaker: Jim Blalock

Mason Lautenschlager and his wife Hannah run Arrow L Ranch near Berthold in northwest North Dakota, where they focus on grass-based enterprises including a cow-calf herd, some direct grass-finished beef, and selling multi-bred composite coming 2-year-old bulls developed on forage.  In This Episode, We Explore:  Building a ranch back after his family sold out of farming and ranching  Buying cows at the top of the market and navigating the crash afterward  Shifting the whole operation toward lower labor and lower equipment intensity  Winter grazing decision-making around snow cover, forage quality, and flexibility  Bale grazing setup, timing, and what it changed on poorer soil areas  Water limitations, fencing lanes, and building a system for easier moves  Stockpiling forage and planning grazing around winter and spring needs  Increasing plant diversity through grazing management rather than seeding  Using forage clippings to estimate available dry matter per acre  Developing bulls on forage and selecting for longevity and fertility over max production  Why This Episode Matters  If winter feed, labor, and equipment costs are squeezing your operation, Mason's story is a practical look at how constraints can force better systems. This conversation gets into the real tradeoffs of stockpile grazing versus bale grazing, how water and fencing design affect what is possible, and why selection for fertility and longevity can matter more than pushing production.  Resources Mentioned  Agriculture Alberta video series: Managing Risk in Winter Grazing  Principled Land Managers grazing school (Bart Carmichael and Pat Guptill)  North Dakota Grazing Lands Coalition  DV Auction  Movie: Moneyball  Book: Lasater Philosophy of Cattle Raising (Tom Lasater)  Find Out More  Arrow L Ranch Facebook page | https://www.facebook.com/arrowlranchDV Auction video catalog for the Arrow L Ranch bull sale (opens Feb 6, closes Feb 8 with a soft close)  | https://www.dvauction.com/video_catalogs/13210 Looking for grass-based breeders? Explore the Grass Based Genetics directory.Upcoming Grazing EventsNoble Profitability Essentials - Ardmore, OK - February 4-5, 2026Feb 8, 2026 Arrow L Ranch Annual Production SaleVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond AgricultureArrow L Ranch Facebook page | https://www.facebook.com/arrowlranchDV Auction video catalog for the Arrow L Ranch bull sale (opens Feb 6, closes Feb 8 with a soft close) Grazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey

Leadership in 2026 is asking more of us. But, not necessarily in volume, output, or productivity.  It's asking more from us in terms of depth, awareness, nuance, and intentionality.  The old leadership rules simply aren't holding anymore - which is a good thing! In this episode, I break down six leadership trends I'm seeing shift in real time and what they mean for how we communicate, build trust, measure success, and lead humans through complexity and change. Shift 1: Control >>> Adaptability: Leadership power is shifting from control to adaptability, where flexibility, responsiveness, and calm under constant change matter more than rigid authority. Shift 2: Output-Focused >>> Wellbeing-Centered: Burnout leadership is giving way to sustainable leadership, where boundaries, emotional regulation, and long-term stamina are performance indicators, calling leaders to separate self-worth from output and productivity. Shift 3: Information Hoarding >>> Transparent Communication: Trust now depends on transparent communication, where leaders openly share what they know, name what they don't, and commit to frequent and consistent communication rather than gatekeeping. Shift 4: Information Access Point >>> Insight Provider: With AI at our fingertips, leaders are valued less for sharing information and facts that people can find on their own and more for providing insight by connecting dots, adding nuance, and offering a unique point of view. Shift 5: Individual Achievement >>> Collective Wins: Leadership success is moving from individual advancement to collective wins, where authority is shared, responsibility is distributed, and progress and success are measured by how people rise together. Shift 6: Skill-Based Presence >>> Identity-Aware Influence: Leaders are increasingly expected to lead with identity awareness, cultural humility, and equity literacy, shifting the focus from representation to true belonging, trust, and psychological safety. These shifts aren't about becoming a “better” leader in the traditional sense.  They're about becoming a more honest, adaptive, authentic, and human one. In 2026, the leaders who will have the greatest impact are those willing to let go of outdated metrics and practices, lead with clarity and care, and create environments where people don't just perform, but actually belong, grow, and stay.

We are delighted to welcome another incredible entrepreneur from our industry today. Andrew Coehlo, co-founder of Monte & Coe, joins us to share the fantastic story of his journey into corporate gifting. Stay tuned to hear about Andrew's entrepreneurial journey, his experiences, and the insight he has to share.   Andrew's Journey into Entrepreneurship After beginning his career in corporate finance, Andrew realized the environment did not suit his creative nature. Bureaucracy, resistance to change, and working in isolation drained his energy. And then, a confidence issue with an unattractive gym bag sparked the idea that eventually became Monty & Coe. With his wife's support and inspired by entrepreneurs around him, Andrew left the corporate world at 30 to focus on his business. High-quality Corporate Products The brand began with the singular purpose of creating products that make people feel confident and proud. Early designs were rough, but the intent was genuine. They committed to excellent craftsmanship, using only high-quality, authentic, natural, and sustainable materials.  Crowdfunding In 2015, the company launched a crowdfunding campaign, raising $80,000 while Andrew was still employed. The campaign validated both the product and people's willingness to buy premium goods online. It also taught their team how to market, sell, and distribute directly to customers. Shifting to Corporate Gifting Corporate interest emerged organically as companies began requesting gifts for executives and teams. Although he was initially hesitant, Andrew recognized how impersonal, generic, and disconnected from effort or achievement most corporate gifting felt. So his brand pivoted toward elevating corporate gifting into something meaningful and memorable. Turning Gifting Into an Experience The business evolved from selling products to selling experiences, focusing on personalization, choice, and emotional impact. They made gifting less about logos and more about how recipients felt, aligning perfectly with the brand's original mission of confidence and appreciation. Taking the Leap Andrew eventually left his corporate job. His decision was not impulsive as it was backed by savings, planning, and lifestyle adjustments.  Entrepreneurship                                                                                        Entrepreneurship brought constant pressure for Andrew, even during the company's strongest years. Cash flow scares, late payments, and the responsibility of supporting a growing team created intense stress. His role as a founder became more about solving new problems every single day. Why Cash Flow and Margins Matter More Than Revenue Revenue alone does not sustain a business. Cash flow determines whether you survive, and margins determine how sustainably you can grow. Examining businesses across various industries, Andrew saw that smaller, higher-margin companies often outperform larger, volume-driven ones. Adopting systems like Profit First brought structure and discipline to his money management. Community and Long-Term Perspective The events and incentives industry proved far more supportive and relationship-driven than Andrew expected. Rather than being cutthroat, people were open, generous, and willing to collaborate. The company's long-term success was built on a foundation of trust, consistent service, and a commitment to delivering quality rather than chasing quick wins. Bio: Andrew Coelho is the co-founder of Monte & Coe, a luxury accessories brand redefining what corporate gifting can be. After years in the corporate world receiving forgettable, logo-first gifts, Andrew began questioning why gifting at scale felt so impersonal, wasteful, and disconnected from the people it was meant to recognize. What started as a side hustle became a full-time pursuit after Andrew famously resigned from his corporate role on his honeymoon in Tokyo. Since then, he has focused on applying direct-to-consumer standards, craftsmanship, and intentional design to an industry that often prioritizes convenience and budget over meaning. Andrew believes that gifting is not about products, but about moments, memories, and respect. His work challenges leaders to rethink how appreciation shows up in their organizations, shifting gifting from a transactional expense to a strategic signal of values. Through Monte & Coe, Andrew helps companies move beyond generic swag and toward gifting experiences that people actually keep, use, and remember. His perspective sits at the intersection of brand, leadership, and human connection, making him a sought-after voice on modern workplace culture, thoughtful design, and the hidden impact of well-executed small decisions.

Guy Adami is joined by Danny Moses for a wide‑ranging macro conversation on gold, silver, Japan, energy stocks, banks, the Fed and the “K‑shaped” U.S. economy. They start with precious metals, breaking down why silver's industrial demand from EVs, solar and AI data centers is creating a structural supply squeeze, what it means for gold vs. silver, and how miners like Coeur Mining (CDE), Freeport‑McMoRan (FCX) and Newmont (NEM) fit into the trade. From there, they connect the metals story to Japan's weakening yen, surging bond yields, the carry trade, and the risk that a “point of no return” in Japanese policy spills over into U.S. Treasuries and global risk assets. In this episode of 'He Said, She Said', Guy Adami, Kristen Kelly & Jen Saarbach dive into the theme of unintended consequences. The discussion begins with Jerome Powell's saga and its implications on the Fed's independence and market reactions, highlighting potential political maneuvers and their backfires. Transitioning to monetary policy, they analyze the complexities of interest rate decisions and the perceptions of Fed control over the yield curve. Shifting to consumer finance, they debate the Biden administration's proposal to cap credit card rates and its potential repercussions on the economy. Corporate drama takes center stage with an in-depth analysis of the bidding war for Warner Brothers, involving Netflix, Paramount, and regulatory hurdles, likened to a real-life 'Succession'. They conclude by addressing headlines about Blackstone's housing market involvement and the impact on prices, underscoring the intricate web of economic policies and market behaviors. The episode wraps with discussions on gold and silver markets, oil prices, and the weakening US dollar, showcasing the multifaceted landscape of global finance. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

In this week's episode of the podcast, we talk candidly about what school refusal really means for children and their families, and how homeschooling can offer a path toward healing, connection, and growth. Whether you're considering pulling your child out of school or you're already homeschooling but feeling stuck after a tough season, this conversation is for you. Here are three key takeaways for parents facing this challenge: School refusal is communication, not a character flaw. When a child can't attend school, it's their nervous system asking for safety, not a sign of failure. Healing comes before academics. Focus on rebuilding connection, trust, and emotional safety—academics can (and will) follow once these foundations are strong. Small, intentional changes add up. Shifting your daily routine, setting gentle non-negotiables, and celebrating even the smallest progress can move families from burnout to breakthrough. You are the best teacher and advocate for your child. If you need more support, resources, or simply community, know you're not alone on this path. Let's keep learning and growing—together.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!
