As the Trump administration continues to reshape the U.S. and global business landscape, many have been left wondering why CEOs and other business leaders aren't vocalizing their views. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is a professor at the Yale School of Management and has conversations every day with leaders of some of the country's biggest companies. He explains how many leaders are navigating the current state of affairs in the U.S., explains examples of collective action that have gotten the Trump administration to change course, and whether he thinks organizations are adjusting to this "new normal."

Dr. Richard Davidson, PhD, is a professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a pioneer in the scientific study of meditation. We discuss how meditation changes your brain and body, how just 5 minutes daily can improve focus, stress resilience and your overall health, and we cover different types of meditation. We also address common myths such as the idea that meditation is to "clear your mind." And we discuss common challenges with meditation and how to overcome them. This episode offers both the science and the practical tools to build a consistent meditation practice to improve your mental and physical health and help you flourish.

Hey team! This week, I'm talking with Dr. Anupriya Gogne, a psychiatrist at Brown University Health in Rhode Island. Dr. Gonge works at the crossroads of addiction psychiatry and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a specific focus on treating ADHD during pregnancy and the postpartum period. She's dedicated to clearing up the misinformation surrounding medication safety during pregnancy, which can be seen in her book, Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women: Special Considerations in the Perinatal Period. In our conversation, we dive into why hormonal fluctuations turn ADHD symptoms into a "perfect storm," the actual science behind "mom brain," and why your internal systems for keeping your life together tend to implode the moment a baby enters the picture. We also get into the nuances of how ADHD presents in women versus men, specifically regarding internal hyperactivity and emotional regulation. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/281 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips When ADHD symptoms suddenly appear or worsen, it's often not because the brain has changed, but rather that the environment's demands have finally exceeded the brain's compensatory systems. When life transitions occur, such as having a child, external chaos disrupts the systems that previously helped keep the ADHD in check. Chronic sleep deprivation isn't just being tired; it's also a failure of the memory consolidation system. While we are in deep sleep, our brain is encoding the day's events. If you aren't getting those stages, your working memory cannot function properly. These memory issues then compound with ADHD symptoms which can make it feel like you are experiencing early-onset dementia. In many adults, and especially in women, hyperactivity often isn't physical; instead, it's mental. It can manifest as negative self-talk on a loop, racing thoughts, or just feel like you have too many tabs open in your brain. Shifting the mental model to see internal ruminating as a form of hyperactivity helps identify the need for mental breaks rather than just physical outlets.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)Ever wonder why you literally can't stop thinking about food?For a long time, weight management advice was basically “eat less, move more.” But honestly, it's way more complicated than just willpower. Biology, hormones, metabolism, and your brain all totally play a role in why we eat and how our bodies handle weight.Family physician and obesity medicine specialist Dr. Laure DeMattia has decades of experience, both in the clinic and with her own weight journey. She's also the author of The Four Food Cues: Why Your Brain Won't Shut Up About Food and How to Fix It, which dives into the biological and behavioral signals that influence our eating habits—basically, why our brains are always nudging us toward snacks.Dr. DeMattia breaks down how understanding food cues, using frameworks like CHEF—Cravings, Hunger, Energy, Fullness—and knowing the role of medications like GLP-1s can make weight management way more doable, compassionate, and honestly less stressful.In This Episode, We Cover:Why This Book Was Written – The story behind Dr. Demattia's book and why sharing real, science-based info is so needed right now.Why Food Is Always on Your Mind – Cravings, energy dips, delayed fullness… why your brain is basically obsessed with snacks.From Cravings to Fullness – Using the CHEF framework to notice your body's signals without obsessing over every single calorie.Why Taking Care of Yourself Matters for Your Kids – Little self-care habits actually teach your kids that looking after yourself is normal.GLP-1s: Amazing for Some, Not Everyone – Medications that help curb hunger, but not a one-size-fits-all thing.Shifting the Goal: From Thinness to Health – Forget chasing the scale—focus on strength, energy, and just feeling good in your body.Understanding your food cues and all your options is about curiosity over blame, and science over shame. Whether it's using CHEF, trying GLP-1s, or exploring other approaches, Dr. DeMattia gives patients ways to approach weight management that actually fit real life.Want all the deets and full insights?

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.

Andy and Randy get in to the Hawks streak, and chances of a playoff push

Emerging markets are back in focus in 2026 — not just as a cyclical trade, but as investors reassess performance leadership, diversification, and where growth is showing up in a shifting global paradigm. After a long stretch of disappointing returns, emerging markets have started the year strongly, alongside record interest from global investors. But the case for EM today is less about a single story — and more about dispersion across countries, sectors, and themes.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Alex Brazier, Global Head of Investment and Portfolio Solutions, and Sam Vecht, Portfolio Manager on BlackRock's Global Emerging Markets Equities team. Alex shares what he's hearing from investors across the U.S. and Europe, including the role of flows, sentiment, and portfolio positioning. Sam brings a bottom-up perspective on how emerging markets have evolved over the past two decades — and why market pricing hasn't always reflected economic progress.Together, they explore why emerging markets may play a different role in portfolios today: providing exposure to distinct parts of the AI buildout, offering potentially different valuation and earnings dynamics than developed markets, and responding differently to U.S. dollar moves. The conversation also highlights where opportunities may be emerging beneath the surface — from under-owned regions like Latin America and parts of the Middle East, to shifting sentiment around India — while underscoring the reality that EM remains volatile, cyclical, and highly heterogeneous.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction01:56 Why emerging markets are drawing renewed investor attention in 202604:58 Two Decades of Underperformance06:16 Explaining The Diversification Mirage10:31 Where emerging markets can broaden portfolios — and where correlations still matter13:00 How Investors Can Get Exposure To Emerging Markets16:55 How dispersion across regions is driving more selective, active approaches19:09 Conclusions and Next EpisodeSources: BlackRock, data based on 1,245 EMEA survey submissions in February 3rd rapid response client call; BlackRock calculated using Aladdin data; “World Economic Outlook, Global Economy in Flux, Prospects Remain Dim”, IMF, October 2025; Bloomberg as at Dec 2025; BlackRock, Global Business Intelligence, as at 20 Feb 2026; BlackRock, Morningstar, Aladdin.

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' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Jake Walman's struggles and what it will take to get him back on his game. Given that the coaching staff has already moved him on every pairing on the back end, the options for getting him back up and running are extremely limited. As you'll hear, the boys were actually short on ideas for what Knoblauch and co can do with their newly extended d-man.Shifting gears, the guys looked at the last couple of games on the Oilers' schedule and how the results could not have been more different. Starting with Nathan MacKinnon getting tossed for running into Connor Ingram, the boys shared their take on the penalty and whether Nate should have been kicked out. From there, we looked at the loss in Dallas, and how it was an incredibly frustrating night after two of Edmonton's best games of the year kicked off the road trip. 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 well into the stretch drive, 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.00:00 - intro05:00 - delicous debate11:30 - show walman how he can play12:00 - walman was so physical in his first few games14:00 - is walman just straight up hurt16:45 - ON is just no fun anymore18:45 - MacKinnon on Ingram22:00 - did it deserve a 5?24:45 - should refs have to do post games?28:00 - stars game30:00 - McDavid scrap30:30 - podz is on another level right now35:15 - is it time for pickard?***39:30 dach and emberson hurt, bigger impact than people think?**44:00 - Betting talk 51:30 - ask the idiotsSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Global financial giant UBS has downgraded U.S. stocks, as markets stumble into one of their worst starts in decades. Is this a routine reset or a warning shot? Where is capital moving now?

Ever felt life spin the other way mid-stroke? We dive into a powerful Akashic Energy theme—turnaround—and explore how to pivot with grace as the season shifts from Pisces to Aries and the equinox resets the sky. Rather than bracing for impact, we lean into fluidity, using a swimmer's flip turn as our guide: coil, push, glide. That simple rhythm becomes a practice for mind, body, and spirit when plans change and expectations loosen their hold.We also share practical tools for closure, invite a creative circle mandala, and reframe rigid goals into flexible themes. Key themes include:• Akashic insight on reversals and circular movement• Equinox and astrological new year context• Letting go of rigid plans and expectations• Seeing change as part of the pattern, not failure• Closure practices for abrupt endings• Unsent letters, visualization, ritual burning• Circle mandala to map endings and beginnings• Shifting from fixed goals to guiding themes• Anchoring with breath, curiosity, and graceIf you're navigating detours, reroutes, or a full-on U-turn, this conversation will help you breathe, pivot, and find your lane again.

Most people chase a single number, believing it holds the key to lasting happiness and an end to their worries. But what happens when you hit that number, or even exceed it, and find yourself staring into an emotional abyss? This week on The Nathan Barry Show, we sit down with Mike Brown, a former Navy fighter pilot who built and sold an eight-figure oil and gas company. He achieved what many dream of – supercars, a beautiful home, and immense wealth. Yet, he still found himself losing peace and $1.5 million in a failing venture, prompting a profound shift in his definition of "rich." Join us as Mike shares his powerful journey from external validation to true freedom, revealing why our pursuit of wealth often misses the point entirely.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:10 Mike sells his supercars and updates his values03:55 Embracing the "buy the ticket, take the ride" philosophy06:20 From Navy fighter pilot to oil and gas entrepreneur08:45 Finding a new definition of wealth: freedom15:58 Shifting from outcome goals to process goals20:55 Understanding dirty vs. clean fuel for motivation31:05 External validation and the never-ending treadmill36:30 The power of clean fuel: purpose and service41:15 How money serves two purposes44:10 The value of experiences over material possessions48:30 The spectrum of dirty and clean fuel52:30 When greatness comes at a cost57:25 Mechanical and emotional fixes for financial fear1:05:40 Maximizing return on happiness: experimental spending1:08:00 The highest leverage investments for entrepreneurs1:10:45 The invaluable cost of peace and personal growthIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

Your Next Objective podcast: Round 2, offers practical guidance and career readiness for military members, law enforcement, firefighters, organized based on how far out your transition is. In this episode, Did what you did actually make a difference?When you look back on your career so far, what are you actually measuring? For most of us in the military or first responder communities, the answer is usually how busy we were, the weight of the responsibility we carried, or the sheer number of hours we spent away from home. We're used to a world where effort and sacrifice are visible, and being the person who shows up to get the job done is everything. But there's a hard truth we often ignore: being busy doesn't always mean you're making an impact. You can put in decades of service and still struggle to explain what actually changed because you were there.In this episode, we're digging into why your ego has to take a back seat to the objective and the team. It's a shift from asking "What did I do?" to "Did what I do matter?" Shifting your focus from your title to your actual impact does more than just make you better at your current job. It helps you separate your identity from your role, which is the most important mental hurdle you'll face when it's finally time to take off the uniform. We explore how to stop using busyness as a shield and start looking for the quiet footprint you're leaving on your systems and your people.Whether your transition is months away or a decade down the road, the habits you build today define the value you'll bring to the civilian world tomorrow. We break down specific strategies for every stage of the journey:Close Range Group (Transitioning within a year): Your Value is Your Results.You need to market your experience into measurable outcomes like problems solved, efficiencies gained, or people developed. Framing your work this way makes it much easier for a civilian hiring manager to see the specific value you'll bring to their organization.Medium Range Group (Transitioning in 3 to 5 years): Improve the Systems Around You.Focus on strengthening the processes you handle every day, such as training routines, communication flows, or operational procedures. Small improvements in these areas compound over time and ensure the organization performs better even after you've moved on to your next role.Long Range Group (Transitioning in a decade or more): Serve the Mission First.This mindset is about making decisions based on what benefits the objective even when no one is watching or when you won't get any credit. Over time, putting the mission ahead of your ego builds the kind of credibility and leadership presence that defines real impact in any career.The uniform and the title belong to the role, but the impact you create belongs to you. It's time to start measuring what matters.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/IG: https://www.instagram.com/yournextobjectivepodcast/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

We are in the middle of the Ask Coach Christina series. I am taking your questions this month and answering them on the podcast. This week I am answering the question of how to handle shifting friendships. There are times when everything can be going well in a friendship, but then a shift happens. It can be caused by jealousy, envy or just when one person begins to elevate. No matter what the reason of the shift it is never easy to navigate the change. Looking to God to guide you is the key. Prayer and asking God to reveal to what he is trying to show you through the shift can help ease the change. We are meant for relationships, but the right ones are key to growth!I believe this podcast is for you if:-you are find yourself in season where you see your friendships shifting and you are not sure how to handle it-you find yourself doing all you can to hold to when God is asking you to let go-you have good relationships, but know deep down God has more meaningful relationships for you.Send in your questions to:christina@christinajolly.com My 30 Day Faith to Believe devotional:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Faith to Believe – 30 Day Devotional eBook - Elevate | Christina Jolly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with me at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Home - Elevate | Christina Jolly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE eBook download here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elevate Your Faith in 5 Minutes - Elevate | Christina Jolly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

SUMMARY: In this episode of Ops Experts Club, Aaron Hovivian and Terryn Turner discuss the important shift from working in tasks to thinking in systems—a transition that helps move someone from an assistant role into a true operator role. They explain that task-based work is reactive and often overwhelming, while systems create structure, repeatability, and efficiency. By building processes for recurring work—like producing a podcast or launching a product—teams can ensure ideas move through a consistent workflow without relying on constant direction from leadership. Aaron and Terryn also highlight the importance of documenting processes as they are developed and using task management tools to manage responsibilities across a team. They introduce the Delegate and Elevate framework, which helps individuals categorize their work based on what they enjoy and what they are good at, making it easier to delegate lower-value tasks and focus on higher-impact responsibilities. Overall, the episode emphasizes that well-built systems allow operators to coordinate work effectively while freeing up visionaries to focus on generating ideas and driving growth.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Appearance 01:54 Shifting from Tasks to Systems 07:37 Creating Effective Systems 11:16 The Importance of Documentation 15:13 Delegate and Elevate Process

Heritage advocates are warning shifting Dunedin to a higher seismic zone will damage the city's economy and put its iconic buildings at risk. Under a new earthquake-prone buildings bill, Coastal Otago - including Dunedin - will shift from a low to a medium seismic risk area. But a select committee was today warned of the harm this could do to a city known for its historical architecture. Tess Brunton has more.

Freeing people from the fear of death frees them to live authentically. To Lauren, this is the deepest gift of mediumship – and it's also the crack in the foundation of the systems that keep people small. Jane and Sarah sit down with Lauren Nichols, a Boston-based psychic medium, former paranormal investigator, federal government employee, and new mama. Lauren shares how a period of personal upheaval led her to wander graveyards for peace — and ultimately to capture full-body spirit apparitions on camera. What started as an unlikely foray into paranormal investigation blossomed into a full mediumship practice centered on one core mission: making spirit communication accessible, human, and far less scary. The conversation moves from reframing "haunted house" phenomena as simple requests for connection, to the surprising ways motherhood has cracked Lauren's mediumship wide open, to her use of Spirit Box technology for live, audible communication with the deceased. Lauren also reflects on the current cultural and political moment through both her government lens and her spiritual one — and makes a compelling case that mediums may be uniquely positioned to help humanity evolve. Spirits aren't trying to scare you -  they're trying to talk to you. Lauren reframes poltergeist-style activity not as malevolent force, but as an expression of a soul's desire to communicate. Shifting from fear to curiosity, and from "entity" to "person," changes the entire dynamic of the experience. Fear of the spirit world is learned, not innate. Lauren argues that we aren't born afraid of spirit -  that fear is conditioned into us through Hollywood, culture, and religious framing. Humanizing spirits by seeing them as people first dissolves much of that fear. Motherhood is one of the most powerful mediumship development tools there is. After pausing her practice in early motherhood, Lauren discovered that survival mode had burned away her perfectionism and need to "try." The result? Deeper trust, more relaxed connection, and an ability to do more with less. You don't have to have everything together to serve spirit. The pressure to be "ready" or "perfect" before showing up as a medium is a trap. Presence and trust matter far more than polish. Spirit Box / ITC technology is alive and accessible. Instrumental Transcommunication — the practice of using radio frequency scanners to communicate with spirit — has roots going back to Tesla and Edison. Lauren uses a Spirit Box live and has heard her own family members' voices through it. She believes this technology can bring an additional layer of evidential healing to mediumship. Mediums have a unique role in the current collective reckoning. Lauren draws on her government career and channeling practice to articulate what she sees happening culturally: a dismantling of identity politics, a call to acknowledge privilege, and a collective push toward unity. She believes mediums — already practiced at clearing themselves and holding space — are well-suited to lead that conversation. Freeing people from the fear of death frees them to live authentically. To Lauren, this is the deepest gift of mediumship — and it's also the crack in the foundation of the systems that keep people small. On reframing scary spirit activity: "When you view it in your mind as something that is foreign — you're doing yourself and them a disservice, because you're not giving them the credit of being human first and foremost." On motherhood and mediumship: "Since having him, I have found more enjoyment and more ability to relax in my mediumship. I don't put so much stock in what I'm doing. I just trust." On perfectionism and presence: "The more you try, the less you do. Once you've been in survival mode and you've come out of it, everything else is just small beans — and you just have to be present for it."

Seventy-five breakout sessions. Role-based tracks for owners, advisors, and technicians. Big-name keynotes. A coaching debate on one stage. Dedicated technical training on EV service, ADAS calibration, direct injection systems, and new refrigerants. Tektonic 2026 isn't about theory—it's about results. In this conversation, Tekmetric owner Sunil Patel explains why hard work isn't enough, why systems win, and why Houston in April could be the reset button ambitious shop owners have been looking for.

Buying a machine shop from the outside can sound intimidating. For Nik and Aaron of Mahler Machining, it was also an opportunity. In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Paul sits down with the two partners who acquired a precision machining business in Vancouver, British Columbia after spending nearly a decade in corporate finance and private equity. Instead of continuing to advise businesses from the outside, they decided to own and operate one themselves. Their search led them to manufacturing, and ultimately to Mahler Machining, a shop they believed had the foundation to grow into something much larger. What makes this conversation especially valuable is the playbook they share for buying a machine shop the right way. From structuring the deal with the retiring owners, to spending their entire first year on the shop floor learning the business, to intentionally investing in culture, systems, and leadership, Nik and Aaron walk through how they approached the transition. Their story shows how disciplined operators from outside the industry can successfully step into manufacturing ownership while earning the trust of the team already in place. Since acquiring the business, they've implemented major operational improvements, including adding a third shift, investing in new equipment, building a formal sales engine, implementing ERP, and even completing a tuck-in acquisition of another small shop. The result has been consistent growth while laying the groundwork for entry into aerospace and defense markets. For anyone thinking about buying a machine shop, scaling one beyond the typical owner-operator ceiling, or preparing their own shop for acquisition someday, this episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how thoughtful operators approach the process.

 As a company, Oregon-based Nike has previously said that the average factory worker in the 13 countries it has contracts with is paid twice the amount of the local minimum wage. Past reporting from ProPublic found that less than 1% of Cambodian workers made that. Now, a new story from the publication, in partnership with The Oregonian/OregonLive, found that workers in Indonesia also do not reach that standard. On top of that, the reporting found that Nike is also shifting much of its manufacturing to parts of the country that are less-developed and where workers make much less. Rob Davis is a reporter covering the Northwest for ProPublica. Matt Kish is the business reporter for The Oregonian. They join us to share more on what their reporting revealed.

You try to eat “clean.” Or maybe you quietly eat less and less because it feels safer that way.But despite doing everything right… your weight won't shift, your energy feels off, and food still takes up too much space in your mind.In this episode of Body Led by Design, Melissa breaks down two of the most common eating archetypes she sees in driven, high-responsibility women:The Perfection-Driven ControllerThe Chronic RestrictorThese patterns often look different on the surface but share the same root: the belief that your body can't be trusted.You'll learn why these patterns develop, how diet culture and stress shape your relationship with food, and what it actually takes to rebuild trust with your body again.This episode is part of Melissa's Eating Archetypes series, designed to help you recognize your patterns with curiosity instead of judgment—and begin shifting them in a sustainable way.In This Episode You'll LearnThe difference between the Perfection-Driven Controller and the Chronic RestrictorWhy control around food often comes from fear, not disciplineHow diet culture teaches women to outsource their body's wisdomWhy intuitive eating doesn't mean “eating whatever you feel like”The physiological effects of chronic restriction on metabolism and hormonesWhy hunger cues disappear when they've been ignored for yearsHow stress and nervous system dysregulation influence eating patternsA practical tool you can use today to begin rebuilding body awarenessFree Resource: Start Rebuilding Body TrustIf today's episode resonated, Melissa created a guide to help you understand why weight loss often stalls—even when you're doing everything “right.”Download the free guide:The Real Reason Your Weight Isn't Shifting

A structural shift is occurring in the managed IT services landscape as AI capabilities are rapidly embedded across enterprise applications, with oversight and risk management functions increasingly separated out and monetized as add-on services. Vendors, including Microsoft and OpenAI, are deploying AI agents in essential tools such as Outlook, Teams, and Excel, then selling governance, security, and compliance capabilities as additional paid layers. The core mechanism is the transfer of operational and liability risk downstream to IT service providers and their clients, while ownership of the control plane and margin on risk mitigation remain with the vendors. The episode highlights consequential findings regarding AI reliability and adoption. A Nature Medicine study found that OpenAI's ChatGPT Health underestimated emergency severity in 51.6% of cases, prompting concerns about overreliance on AI for critical decisions. Additionally, Confluent's UK executive survey indicated that 62% of organizations are already shifting decision-making to AI, but only 7% have a company-wide AI strategy, and fewer than half of executives and employees agree on actual daily AI usage. Most leaders receive little formal AI training yet are second-guessing their own judgment in favor of AI output. Further reinforcing the governance gap, Microsoft is launching Agent 365 and new enterprise security tiers, while OpenAI's acquisition of Promptfoo signals a focus on AI reliability testing and compliance monitoring. Funding for GRC platforms like IntelliGRC demonstrates capital flowing into third-party oversight solutions. The recurring pattern is vendors first pushing broad agent adoption, then introducing and monetizing governance as a discrete add-on, often outside the default package. Operationally, MSPs and IT leaders face increased liability exposure if they rely on vendor-native governance without independent audit or measurement capability. The absence of industry-standard reliability metrics for AI, combined with the perception and usage gaps inside organizations, calls for MSPs to lead in auditing, documenting, and independently measuring AI usage and performance. Failing to proactively manage these controls can result in silent risk absorption and unfavorable positioning as vendors bundle compliance and pass residual risk downstream to service providers.

Patrick Kennedy came into the year long energy, especially natural gas, which powers 43% of electricity in the U.S. He says it “matters more” where oil prices settle in the next few weeks as we figure out how much supply has actually been taken offline. Meanwhile, short-term moves are great for traders, he says. Shifting gears, he discusses risks within private credit, particularly when it comes to software. He doesn't believe AI will “eat” software entirely in the next few years even as he's bullish on AI overall.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Why does manifestation sometimes feel like it suddenly slows down or stop altogether? In this episode of The Lit Up Life Podcast, I talk about something that almost no one discusses when it comes to manifestation: the identity shift that has to happen before your results show up in the physical world. When your vision expands but your identity has not fully integrated yet, it can feel like nothing is working. In reality, your mind, nervous system, and beliefs are catching up to the version of you who can hold that next level. I share why manifestation delays are often a sign of growth and evolution rather than failure, and how your internal alignment directly influences what you create externally. When you understand how belief, embodiment, and expectation interact with Universal Laws, it becomes easier to move through the integration phase without doubting yourself. If you have ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm doing all the things… why isn't it happening yet?" this episode will help you see what is really happening beneath the surface. Why manifestation can feel slow when your identity is evolving How your nervous system and beliefs influence what you attract The difference between chasing results and embodying your next level If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who may need this reminder.

How Behavior-Driven Design Is Defining the Future of the Home KBIS Series 2026, findings and experiences from the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, recorded live from the KBIS Podcast Studio presented by AJ Madison. This was the second year of this program and we built on last year's show with even more experts in the industry sharing experience, findings and industry-leading insights. KBIS Podcast Studio Resources: KBIS AJ Madison NKBA LUXE Interiors + Design SubZero, Wolf & Cove SKS | Signature Kitchen Suite Hearth & Home Technologies Kitchen365 Green Forrest Cabinetry Midea What happens when home innovation prioritizes real-world habits over flashy, unnecessary features? This conversation explores how a deep understanding of how people use their appliances every day leads to intentional solutions that fit every lifestyle.  Join Justin Reinke, Head of Product Marketing at Midea, and Ryan Shaffer, Sr. Technical Product Planning Engineer at Midea, to discuss how hundreds of hours of in-home observation drive breakthroughs in everything from acoustic comfort to specialized hygiene. By analyzing universal pain points—like the rise of sustainable drinkware and open-concept living—we examine the R&D required to make daily chores easier through practical, performance-driven design that works harder for the household. For decades, appliance innovation followed a predictable formula: more features, more technology, more complexity. Digital displays replaced analog controls. Connectivity introduced remote operation. Artificial intelligence promised optimization. But somewhere along the way, innovation lost sight of its most important objective—serving the human being. Today, that philosophy is changing. At KBIS 2026, one of the most important conversations wasn't about technology itself, but about behavior. Appliance manufacturers are increasingly recognizing that true innovation does not begin in engineering labs. It begins in homes—watching how people live. This shift represents a fundamental evolution in product development. Instead of asking what technology can do, manufacturers are asking what people actually need. Consider the refrigerator. It is opened dozens of times each day, often absentmindedly, during moments of distraction, urgency, or fatigue. Every movement—the height of a shelf, the accessibility of a drawer, the ease of filling a glass—shapes the user's experience. These micro-interactions define whether an appliance feels intuitive or frustrating. Similarly, dishwashers must now accommodate modern behavioral realities. Reusable bottles, travel tumblers, and complex accessories require flexibility that traditional rack designs never anticipated. Washing machines must operate quietly enough to coexist within open-plan homes, where appliance noise becomes part of the lived environment. These are not technological problems. They are human problems. The most forward-thinking manufacturers have embraced observation as their primary design tool. By studying real households, engineers and designers can identify friction points invisible in traditional research. The goal is not to add features, but to remove obstacles. This approach also challenges the industry's historical obsession with specifications. Feature lists do not guarantee usability. Connectivity does not guarantee convenience. Technology that requires explanation has already failed its most important test. The future appliance must be intuitive. It must integrate seamlessly into daily routines, supporting behavior rather than disrupting it. It must operate quietly, reliably, and predictably. It must reduce mental load, not increase it. Perhaps most importantly, it must respect the reality that appliances are not aspirational objects. They are functional infrastructure. They exist to support life, not define it. This shift toward behavior-driven design reflects a broader maturation of the appliance industry. Innovation is no longer measured by novelty, but by invisibility. The best appliances do their job so well that users never think about them at all. In the end, the future of appliances will not be defined by how advanced they are. It will be defined by how effortlessly they serve the people who depend on them every day. Behavior as the Foundation of Innovation Product development begins with observing real-world habits. Behavioral insights reveal needs consumers rarely articulate. Design solutions prioritize intuitive use over technical novelty. Practical Innovation vs Feature Saturation Most consumers use only a small percentage of available features. Simplification improves usability, adoption, and satisfaction. Innovation must solve real problems—not marketing problems. Appliances as Infrastructure for Daily Life Refrigerators open dozens of times daily, making ergonomic design critical. Dishwashers, washers, and refrigeration now integrate into behavioral routines. Appliances increasingly support lifestyle efficiency, not just task completion. Noise Reduction and Environmental Integration Open floor plans make acoustic performance essential. Quiet operation improves perceived quality and livability. Engineering focus has expanded beyond performance to experiential comfort. Replacement Market Realities and Design Flexibility Most appliance purchases are replacements, not full remodels. Products must integrate visually and functionally with mixed-brand kitchens. Flexible, accessible design supports long-term usability. Sustainability Through Longevity and Efficiency Sustainability now includes durability, waste reduction, and performance efficiency. Better storage and preservation reduce food waste. Long product lifecycles contribute to environmental responsibility.

Travis Chappell is a former door-to-door sales pro turned top business podcaster and founder, who has recorded over 1,500 episodes and read more than 200 non-fiction books to level up his mindset and income. In this solo episode, he opens up his personal notes and “audio journal” to share the exact questions he asks himself to break out of stagnation, take bigger swings, and reset his thinking when life punches him in the mouth. On this episode we talk about: Why the quality of your life tracks the quality of the questions you ask yourself How “When was the last time I risked embarrassment?” exposes if you've been playing too small Connecting risk and reward with “When was the last time I got something I wanted?” Using the frame “It happened, now what?” to stop complaining and start solving The “No bullshit, what would it take?” question that turns “impossible” goals into concrete plans Top 3 Takeaways If you aren't regularly risking embarrassment, you're probably not putting yourself in positions where extraordinary outcomes are even possible. The biggest wins in your life usually follow periods where you willingly risk failure, rejection, or looking foolish—and that first big win becomes a confidence superpower for future risks. Shifting from blame to agency (“It happened, now what?” and “No bullshit, what would it take?”) trains your brain to look for solutions and opportunity instead of excuses. Notable Quotes “The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions that you ask.” “If you're not willing to risk embarrassment, then you're probably not ever going to achieve anything outside of the ordinary.” “No bullshit, what would it take?” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ ​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell ​Other: https://travischappell.com ​  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

FULL STREAM 3-6-2026 1569 LONDINIUM In this broadcast, host John Batchelor is joined by guests Jeff Bliss of "Pacific Watch" and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos). Jeff Bliss details a West Coast in transition, beginning with Las Vegas, which is rebuilding through massive infrastructure projects like the Bright Line high-speed rail and the Boring Company. He contrasts the privately-financed Bright Line with California's state-run rail project, labeling the latter a $110 billion "money sink" that has failed to lay any track. Bliss's recent travels highlight a broader urban decline, describing Portland and Reno as "ghost towns" and documenting a harrowing fentanyl crisis in Sacramento right outside the state capital. He notes that despite $28 billion being allotted for homelessness, California's "Care Court" has only treated 22 people, while refinery closures and high taxes push gas prices toward $5-$8 per gallon. This economic pressure is driving a corporate exodus of pillars like Starbucks and Amazon to business-friendly states like Tennessee. (1)Shifting to international affairs, Germanicus examines the unfolding war with Iran, noting that the U.S. administration has invoked a "sacred narrative" to justify the conflict as a divinely sanctioned mission to punish "demonic forces". However, he warns of growing fissures in the U.S.-Israeli alliance. While the U.S. frames the war as one of liberation for the Persian people, Israel's objective is the existential destruction of Iran as a regional power. These divergent goals, Germanicus predicts, will create severe strategic tension as the conflict intensifies. (2)3-
