Dan Rasmussen returns to talk about how to invest during this global paradigm shift. Rasmussen shares how the post-2008 investment environment has shifted, with international markets now outperforming, volatility spiking, and the dollar weakening. He critiques the AI investment narrative, challenges in AI profitability, the misalignment between AI hype and real-world economic value, and the implications of rising geopolitical and market uncertainty. We discuss... Dan Rasmussen runs the hedge fund Verdad, focusing on microcap value, credit, and market-neutral strategies. His new book, The Humble Investor, compiles insights from a decade of writing research notes. How the post-2008 market was defined by low volatility, strong U.S. equity performance, and growth stock dominance. In 2025, international markets have started outperforming U.S. equities, signaling a potential regime shift. As AI skepticism grows, tech giants have seen declining returns due to increased capital intensity. The profitability of AI investments remains unclear, with few killer applications and unsustainable infrastructure costs. Chipmakers like Nvidia require enormous customer spending just to justify current valuations. The long-term viability of AI, citing high operational costs and uncertain end-user benefits. Rising market volatility, potentially driven by politics and the dollar, is pushing investors toward safer, lower-volatility assets. Despite years of underperformance, international investing may be entering a comeback phase. Google is testing a shift from a pay-per-click to a pay-per-lead ad model in select zip codes. ChatGPT is becoming a preferred tool for research due to speed, accuracy, and reduced noise compared to Google. The uncertainty around AI profitability makes current tech valuations speculative and potentially risky. Potential large-scale layoffs in government and academia could ripple through the broader economy. Shifting public-sector workers to private-sector roles is uncertain and may not offset job losses. Despite Trump's influence, AI is seen as a more dominant force for markets than political shifts. Japan is highlighted as a promising international market due to undervalued stocks with fortress balance sheets. Gold has become a favored allocation, with some portfolios holding as much as 35% due to recent strong performance.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sat down once again with Aaron Lowry for our third conversation, and it might be the most expansive yet. We touched on the cultural undercurrents of transhumanism, the fragile trust structures behind AI and digital infrastructure, and the potential of 3D printing with metals and geopolymers as a material path forward. Aaron shared insights from his hands-on restoration work, our shared fascination with Amish tech discernment, and how course-correcting digital dependencies can restore sovereignty. We also explored what it means to design for long-term human flourishing in a world dominated by misaligned incentives. For those interested in following Aaron's work, he's most active on Twitter at @Aaron_Lowry.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Stewart welcomes Aaron Lowry back for his third appearance. They open with reflections on cultural shifts post-COVID, the breakdown of trust in institutions, and a growing societal impulse toward individual sovereignty, free speech, and transparency.05:00 – The conversation moves into the changing political landscape, specifically how narratives around COVID, Trump, and transhumanism have shifted. Aaron introduces the idea that historical events are often misunderstood due to our tendency to segment time, referencing Dan Carlin's quote, “everything begins in the middle of something else.”10:00 – They discuss how people experience politics differently now due to the Internet's global discourse, and how Aaron avoids narrow political binaries in favor of structural and temporal nuance. They explore identity politics, the crumbling of party lines, and the erosion of traditional social anchors.15:00 – Shifting gears to technology, Aaron shares updates on 3D printing, especially the growing maturity of metal printing and geopolymers. He highlights how these innovations are transforming fields like automotive racing and aerospace, allowing for precise, heat-resistant, custom parts.20:00 – The focus turns to mechanical literacy and the contrast between abstract digital work and embodied craftsmanship. Stewart shares his current tension between abstract software projects (like automating podcast workflows with AI) and his curiosity about the Amish and Mennonite approach to technology.25:00 – Aaron introduces the idea of a cultural “core of integrated techne”—technologies that have been refined over time and aligned with human flourishing. He places Amish discernment on a spectrum between Luddite rejection and transhumanist acceleration, emphasizing the value of deliberate integration.30:00 – The discussion moves to AI again, particularly the concept of building local, private language models that can persistently learn about and serve their user without third-party oversight. Aaron outlines the need for trust, security, and stateful memory to make this vision work.35:00 – Stewart expresses frustration with the dominance of companies like Google and Facebook, and how owning the Jarvis-like personal assistant experience is critical. Aaron recommends options like GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 and reflects on the difficulty of securing hardware at the chip level.40:00 – They explore software development and the problem of hidden dependencies. Aaron explains how digital systems rest on fragile, often invisible material infrastructure and how that fragility is echoed in the complexity of modern software stacks.45:00 – The concept of “always be reducing dependencies” is expanded. Aaron suggests the real goal is to reduce untrustworthy dependencies and recognize which are worth cultivating. Trust becomes the key variable in any resilient system, digital or material.50:00 – The final portion dives into incentives. They critique capitalism's tendency to exploit value rather than build aligned systems. Aaron distinguishes rivalrous games from infinite games and suggests the future depends on building systems that are anti-rivalrous—where ideas compete, not people.55:00 – They wrap up with reflections on course correction, spiritual orientation, and cultural reintegration. Stewart suggests titling the episode around infinite games, and Aaron shares where listeners can find him online.Key InsightsTranshumanism vs. Techne Integration: Aaron frames the modern moment as a tension between transhumanist enthusiasm and a more grounded relationship to technology, rooted in "techne"—practical wisdom accumulated over time. Rather than rejecting all new developments, he argues for a continuous course correction that aligns emerging technologies with deep human values like truth, goodness, and beauty. The Amish and Mennonite model of communal tech discernment stands out as a countercultural but wise approach—judging tools by their long-term effects on community, rather than novelty or entertainment.3D Printing as a Material Frontier: While most of the 3D printing world continues to refine filaments and plastic-based systems, Aaron highlights a more exciting trajectory in printed metals and geopolymers. These technologies are maturing rapidly and finding serious application in domains like Formula One, aerospace, and architectural experimentation. His conversations with others pursuing geopolymer 3D printing underscore a resurgence of interest in materially grounded innovation, not just digital abstraction.Digital Infrastructure is Physical: Aaron emphasizes a point often overlooked: that all digital systems rest on physical infrastructure—power grids, servers, cables, switches. These systems are often fragile and loaded with hidden dependencies. Recognizing the material base of digital life brings a greater sense of responsibility and stewardship, rather than treating the internet as some abstract, weightless realm. This shift in awareness invites a more embodied and ecological relationship with our tools.Local AI as a Trustworthy Companion: There's a compelling vision of a Jarvis-like local AI assistant that is fully private, secure, and persistent. For this to function, it must be disconnected from untrustworthy third-party cloud systems and trained on a personal, context-rich dataset. Aaron sees this as a path toward deeper digital agency: if we want machines that truly serve us, they need to know us intimately—but only in systems we control. Privacy, persistent memory, and alignment to personal values become the bedrock of such a system.Dependencies Shape Power and Trust: A recurring theme is the idea that every system—digital, mechanical, social—relies on a web of dependencies. Many of these are invisible until they fail. Aaron's mantra, “always be reducing dependencies,” isn't about total self-sufficiency but about cultivating trustworthy dependencies. The goal isn't zero dependence, which is impossible, but discerning which relationships are resilient, personal, and aligned with your values versus those that are extractive or opaque.Incentives Must Be Aligned with the Good: A core critique is that most digital services today—especially those driven by advertising—are fundamentally misaligned with human flourishing. They monetize attention and personal data, often steering users toward addiction or ...
What if you could swap 100 cold calls a day for content that reaches thousands? In this episode, Justis shares how going digital didn't just scale his reach, it nearly doubled his revenue. Justis Pederson is an award-winning recruiter and the CEO of the Pederson Group of Companies in Winnipeg, which he has grown from $500K to $1.8M in revenue. His group of companies includes recruitment, media, and real estate. On the recruitment side, they specialize in construction & engineering. I'm excited to learn that Justis complements his recruiting business with his media business. They have turned video production into a differentiator, specifically leveraging video and digital marketing as a key differentiator. Justis serves on two boards and is a member of the Pinnacle Society, a collective of the top-performing recruiters in North America. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:57] How Justis got into recruiting - from door-to-door salesman to becoming a top recruiter in construction. [11:33] Justis' insights on critical attributes that differentiate a great recruiter. [13:19] The story of how they shifted from mainly cold calling to primarily digital marketing. [26:10] The ROI of hiring an effective marketing person. [31:22] The three pillars of content. [34:55] The hiring process of a good marketing person. [37:39] Strategies and systems to start posting content. [43:18] Discussion on the hows and whys of building a brand. [47:30] Shifting to a retained business model. [51:38] How to get business ‘without asking for business'. [53:02] Justis shares his personal story of resilience. Shifting from Cold Calling to Digital Marketing If your primary source of leads is through cold-calling, would you consider shifting to digital marketing? Justis realized the benefits of doing so, as cold-calling usually limits him to reaching 100 people a day, but with digital content, he can demonstrate their subject matter expertise to thousands. “So we started posting content online. And instead of going from one to one cold calling, it's one to many: one to 1,000, one to 10,000, one to 20,000 plus people. So what you're doing is you're actually just demonstrating what your subject matter expertise is. Instead of on the phone to people that already know you, you're doing it online to a larger population of people that do not know you.” How did they transition from pure cold calling to digital marketing? When Justis first started at Hayes and later running his own recruitment business, it was all about cold calling. But like a lot of recruiters, he hit that point of burnout. You can only hear “no” so many times before you start asking, Is there a better way to do this? They began putting their expertise online, mainly on LinkedIn, aiming to reach not just dozens, but thousands. Then came the big move: hiring Cass in 2022 as their first team member, not another recruiter, but a full-time content and social media manager. Instead of hiring another 360 recruiter, Justis placed his bet on the potential of digital marketing. Eventually, it paid off. They started producing all kinds of content—videos, thought pieces, scroll-stopping visuals—all tailored to their niche in construction and real estate. And people started paying attention—not just candidates but clients, too. Inbound leads started rolling in. The ROI of Hiring an Effective Marketing Person Was there a return on investment from the step that Justis took? That is, focusing mainly on being top-of-mind via digital content? There was! “To quantify that, when I first hired Cass in our first year, we did about, I think it was about $500,000… And in our second year after hiring Cass, we did closer to a million. So, just simple numbers there. Like, we almost doubled our billings.” Justis, however, reminded us that hiring an effective marketing person is not an instant result-generating move. You also have to invest time, like what she did with Cass. He spent at least a year working with her, and it took almost two years to see actual results. “But it did take like a lot of time to get there. Mark, I don't want your listeners to think like, oh, you hire a marketing person and 30 days later you're going to be getting all these inbound leads, because that's not how it works. And a lot of people are wired to think, you know, 30, 60, 90-day return. But this was something that happened for two years. Not 30 or 60, 90 days. Like when I hired Cas, the idea was, okay, we'll give it a year and see how it does.” The Three Pillars of Content and How to Start For Justis, there are three pillars of a well-curated, quality content: Graphic Design Video Writing Justis elaborated on these three pillars and how they emphasized the importance of writing as the basis of videos and graphic designs. He also shared strategies on posting at least 4 pieces of content a week, and why spreading too thin on different social media platforms may not always work. He also shared that to start and build a brand, you don't even need a high budget. Justis shared, “But I think what I would say is it doesn't have to be an extremely high-budget effort.

The NoCo Hemp Expo wrapped up its eleventh annual event last week in Estes Park, Colorado. The overall mood was optimistic, according to attendees, but there was an undercurrent of uncertainty and angst. The industry stands at a crossroads. Is it too dramatic (or melodramatic) to call it the battle for the soul of the industry? The word hemp means different things to different people, but for over a thousand years, the English word hemp meant one thing: the crop you farm at scale to produce raw materials for industry and food — ropes, sail cloth, paper, animal feed. But now, a quarter way through the 21st Century, the definition of hemp, some would say, has expanded, leading to new opportunities, while others might say the new definition of hemp has been co-opted and pejorative. In this episode of the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, host Eric Hurlock (with co-host Sophia Kurzius) gathers insights from 12 industry leaders, farmers, processors, advocates and policy experts to examine the defining issue of our time: the meaning of the word “hemp.” From Joy Beckerman's impassioned plea to protect the fiber and grain future of hemp, to Chris Fontes' nuanced defense of the cannabinoid market, this episode captures the friction and common ground shaping hemp's next chapter. And what's this we hear about executive orders coming soon that will redefine the hemp space even further? Plus, why you can't tell the story of hemp in America without talking about hemp on tribal land. Hemp is a game changer for Indigenous communities. Hempcrete, for instance, gives the people on reservations almost immediate access to addressing their housing needs in a way that was never available to them. "Hemp is achievable, it's circular, and the stories I hear from people in Indigenous communities are incredibly inspiring," said host Eric Hurlock. On this episode, you'll hear from: JJ Johnson – Founder of JJGro Kelly Burke – Director at Kifcure Joe Hickey – Co-founder of the Kentucky Hemp Growers Cooperative Ken Meyer – Founder of Complete Hemp Processing Morris Beegle – Founder of NoCo Hemp Expo and WAFBA Joy Beckerman – Principal at Hemp Ace International Dionne Holmquist – Director at Makoce Agriculture Development Ken Elliott – Founder of IND HEMP Jean Lotus – Publisher of Hemp Build Magazine Chris Fontes – CEO of High Spirits Beverages U.S. Hemp Authority – Chris Fontes is President Andrew Bish – President of the Hemp Feed Coalition Bish Enterprises – COO Andrew Bish Greg Wilson – Founder of HempWood Topics Covered in This Episode Confusion over the definition of "hemp" Tension between cannabinoid and industrial sectors Misuse of the word “hemp” for intoxicating products Historical meaning and etymology of the word hemp Short-term profit vs. long-term industry building Cannabinoid products dominating policy conversations Farmer-focused versus consumer-focused markets Executive order rumors and Farm Bill delays Regulatory clarity and safety for consumers Indigenous sovereignty and tribal hemp regulation Shifting public perception through language Need for strong fiber and grain infrastructure Caution about unchecked cannabinoid products GRAS status and feed approval for hemp grain The role of big companies (Ford, Tesla, etc.) in scaling hemp Climate, soil, and sustainability potential of hemp Integrity, transparency, and labeling standards Disagreements within the industry over goals and methods Shared values across hemp sectors despite conflicts The importance of unity and focusing on common ground Joy Beckerman's public stance against intoxicating derivatives The idea of a regulatory split between floral and industrial hemp Hemp's potential for rural revitalization Making hemp “boring” again to normalize it as a commodity Thanks to our sponsors: IND HEMP National Hemp Association Forever Green Production and audio engineering by Lancaster Farming Audio Team: Sophia Kurzius, Justin Berger and Eric Hurlock.

Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari: A Spirituality & Personal Growth Podcast
On today's episode, we welcome the wonderful Gaia Chinniah to dive into the mystery of past life soul progression and the interconnectedness of parallel lives. Imagine living multiple versions of your existence simultaneously, each influencing the other in ways both subtle and profound. Gaia takes us on a journey through these unseen dimensions, where memories, actions, and energies from other realms affect who we are in the here and now.Gaia Chinniah, a gifted healer, shares her path from a life built on societal expectations to one of deep spiritual discovery. She reveals how, at the age of 33, her life took a dramatic turn when she stepped into her spiritual power, a shift guided by her connection with ancient knowledge and ancestral wisdom. Gaia candidly reflects, “I went 33 years pretending to be someone else, and I didn't even know it.” Her awakening opened the doors to understanding the impact of past lives on the present and the role of parallel selves influencing the now.In this profound conversation, Gaia explains that many of our challenges stem from unresolved energies in other lifetimes or dimensions. She describes working with clients whose current struggles are deeply tied to parallel versions of themselves. Gaia recounts a powerful experience of helping a woman who could not conceive a child because of trauma experienced by a parallel version of herself. By healing that trauma in one dimension, the woman was finally able to move forward in this life.Gaia emphasizes that “everything is a ceremony,” a reminder that we are constantly creating and concluding cycles. Our souls are always in progression, moving forward as we learn and heal from our past actions and the actions of our parallel selves. Gaia's ability to channel between dimensions and help individuals access hidden parts of themselves is a testament to the power of inner work.In closing, Gaia offers a glimpse into how we can each tap into this multidimensionality. By meditating and connecting with our higher selves, we can access the wisdom of our parallel lives, bringing their knowledge into the present to guide us. She invites us to ask, “Where is another version of me that needs the ability I have now to step into my power?”Please enjoy my conversation with Gaia Chinniah.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

What if it's not a lack of willpower holding you back but your body's way of trying to protect you?In this episode, we dive into why you self-sabotage, how negative self-talk creeps in, and what it really means to regulate your emotions.With everything I've learned over the years in health and fitness, I've come to see that willpower isn't the real issue—fear is. But not fear in the way you usually think of it. Fear is actually a form of intuition—your body's way of protecting you and helping you grow.We're exploring how fear, anger, sadness, and joy are all connected and how fear specifically affects your solar plexus and adrenal system—two key players in how your body responds to stress.We also get into how our breath and nervous system are deeply linked. When you're stuck in Protection Mode, it can mess with your metabolism and spike your cortisol levels. That's why I focus on helping you move from a fear-based mindset into a sense of safety—through practices like breathwork and inner child healing.This episode is all about transforming how you respond to fear and learning to work with our instincts, not against them.Topics Covered:Understanding Fear and Shifting from Protection to Safety ModeThe Importance of Sitting Quietly Amidst Daily ChaosExploring Inner Child Healing and Metabolism in MasterclassThe Impact of Nervous System on Weight Loss EffortsThe Challenges of Emotional Eating and Hormonal InfluencesAchieving Sustainable Weight Loss Through Emotional Regulation and AutonomyThe Nervous System's Role in Emotional and Memory PatternsIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Join my Facebook Community here: www.facebook.com/groups/makepeacewithfoodofficialBook a Food Freedom Strategy Call with me www.calendly.com/sherryshaban/makepeacewithfoodSubscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

This week, Michael Sandel, professor of political philosophy at Harvard University and author of “The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good?” addresses the myth of meritocracy - the idea that, if all chances in life were made equal, then people would advance based on merit and succeed as far as their talent and effort would take them. Less acknowledged, Sandel says, is the role of luck; family, teachers, neighbors, time and place in success. Shifting from a merit-based perspective and appreciating the contingency in life, fosters a much deeper understanding and humility towards those who are less fortunate.
In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome Kary Jablonski, Vice President of Trucker Tools and Broker Growth, for an in-depth conversation on how freight brokers can combat the rising threat of freight fraud. Kary breaks down the most common types of fraud—double brokering, cargo theft, and identity spoofing—and explains how evolving tech tactics are making these threats harder to detect and more damaging than ever. She also shares how DAT's acquisition of Trucker Tools is enhancing brokers' ability to secure loads, vet carriers, and monitor activity in real time with a robust fraud prevention toolkit.Together, they explore how modern brokerages can move from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention using data, visibility, and strong technology partnerships. Kary emphasizes the importance of building trusted carrier networks, continuously monitoring for red flags, and leveraging tools like ELD tracking and real-time fraud alerts to reduce risk.

While knowledge may be power, curiosity is a superpower. We often get so obsessed with knowing things and sharing our wisdom with others, we forget how important it is to focus on learning. On this episode, I talk about why our “know-it-all-ness” can be a detriment to us and annoying to others. I then share some specific things we can do to tap into the power of curiosity and learning, in a way that empowers us and those around us.

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running in this high-octane episode of Badlands Daily, covering everything from massive voter fraud operations to elite-level legal boomerangs. First up: Letitia James. The New York Attorney General who came after Trump is now facing criminal referral herself, over alleged mortgage fraud, falsified records, and some eyebrow-raising residency claims. Ashe and CannCon dig into the legal implications and political irony, with plenty of trolling along the way. They also blow the lid off the smurfing racket, laundered campaign donations disguised as grassroots contributions, and the shady $100 million funneling through the 1630 Fund. From weaponized ballot initiatives to ranked-choice voting manipulation, the crew exposes how the Uniparty quietly rewrites state constitutions behind closed doors. Shifting gears, they torch the Left's attempt to martyr an MS-13-linked illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, as Chris Van Hollen grandstands on foreign soil. Ashe breaks down the real legal inconsistencies behind his asylum claim, while CannCon points out the media's selective outrage over due process. Plus: the Pentagon's leaker problem, Musk's silent purge of tech traitors, Zeldin's EPA takedown, and Trump's strategic moves to clean the Social Security database, which just might double as a covert voter roll cleanup op. This episode is packed, sharp, and not to be missed.
In this episode of Everything Goez with TAK, we cover the latest in the MLB, including some early-season buzz and our way-too-early predictions for each division winner.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for week 16 at the RBC Heritage & Corales Puntacana Championship! -Reviewing Rory completing the grand slam at the 89th Masters -Discussing top 8 at Heritage -1 matchup -2 t10's -3 outrights (+475, 50/1, 90/1) -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet -2 FRL for Corales -2 outrights for Corales -1 t10 for Corales The transcript begins with host Will Docter reacting to Rory McIlroy's landmark Masters victory, completing the career Grand Slam and joining an elite group of six. Mike Tirico's emotional broadcast is cited, capturing McIlroy's on-course collapse in tears. Rory's press conference reflects on inspiration from Tiger Woods, struggles throughout the day, and mental strength, particularly after early double bogeys. A note from Ángel Cabrera added a sentimental touch. Rory's rounds of 72, 66, 66, and 73 included four double bogeys—no past Masters winner had ever overcome as many. Docter notes Rory's final round featured both mistakes and immediate recoveries, such as birdies following doubles and clutch iron shots, particularly a hook 7-iron on the 15th hole. Despite sloppy play off the tee and below-average putting, his elite approach and short game, backed by years of mental training, led him to victory over contenders like Justin Rose, who shot a 66 on Sunday to force a playoff but fell short. The loss marked Rose's second defeat in a Masters playoff. Docter transitions to a betting review, citing a 12.6-unit loss on the Masters, part of a 74.6-unit deficit on the season. Key misfires included failed bets on Sepp Straka and Tom Hoge, both below-average chippers—highlighting a key error in strategy at Augusta. Ludwig Åberg nearly contended until a late collapse; Collin Morikawa's first-round falter also ruined early bets. Sungjae Im was a bright spot with a fifth-place finish. Doctor criticizes his overreliance on players with poor short games and reviews each ticket, including failed first-round bets and frustrating near misses like Shane Lowry, who imploded with an 81 on Sunday. Shifting to the RBC Heritage at Harbor Town, Docter details the course as favoring accurate drivers, sharp approach play from 150–175 yards, and strong Bermuda putting. He reviews top favorites. Scheffler (+425) is a strong pick, showing consistent elite form and success at Harbor Town last year. Morikawa, Henley, and Fleetwood are dismissed due to poor putting. Corey Conners and Åberg are borderline due to form and past finishes. Schauffele is in good form but not elite in the critical approach range. Cantlay and Fleetwood are passed due to inconsistent recent play. A key matchup pick is Ryan Gerard over Adam Scott, citing Scott's issues with driving and putting. Gerard is also the sleeper pick to top 20. Two “picks to place” include Schauffele top 10 (+120), based on elite approach numbers and improving putting, and JT Poston top 10 (+375), with recent putting resurgence and three top-10s at Harbor Town. Outright picks include Scheffler, Berger (50:1), praised for driving accuracy and course history, and Bud Cauley (90:1), with recent top-5 finishes and elite stats in the target range. Fantasy lineups are provided for DraftKings and PGA.com platforms, with lineups built around Scheffler, Schauffele, Im, Berger, Poston, and Cauley. The predicted winning score is 19-under. The best bet is Sungjae Im as top Asian (+160), citing strong course history and lack of serious competition beyond Ryo Hisatsune. For Corrales, Mitchell (28:1) and Hall (33:1) are first-round leader picks based on scoring averages. Outright bets are Packieter and Cootie at 45:1, while Alejandro Tosti is selected to top 10 at +333 based on form despite putting concerns. The podcast wraps with reminders of betting value and expectations heading into the next week. Predicted winning score: 19-under-par at RBC Heritage.

What is keeping treasurers up at night right now? It's a question that might once have had a straightforward answer – interest rates, currency swings, or cash flow visibility. But as geopolitical uncertainty collides with economic recalibration, trade realignment, and digital disruption, there's no single thread to pull.
Host Landry Signé and Dr. Karim El Aynaoui, executive president of the Policy Center for the New South, discuss the rapid shift toward transactional relationships between countries in the South and North that may prove difficult for less stable countries in the New South to navigate. Macroeconomic stability and independent monetary policy are fundamental, he says, and countries must create their own specialized strategies for economic growth.

Hey Tribe! On this episode of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast, we're diving headfirst into one of life's biggest decisions—to have kids or not? The Tribe breaks down the raw realities of parenthood, the freedom of a child-free life, and the societal pressures that come with both choices. From birth control mishaps to the deep-seated judgment toward people without kids, we're keeping it all the way real. We explore whether having children is truly fulfilling or just an expectation, how career and mental health are impacted by parenting, and the importance of a solid support system when raising kids. And of course, we have to ask—are kids really the ultimate motivation in life, or is that just what society wants us to believe? Things get even spicier as we debate whether society unfairly judges parents based on their kids' behavior, discuss high-profile cases like the Menendez brothers, and tackle the age-old question: Does having children affect your dating life? Plus, the team shares personal deal-breakers when it comes to picking a co-parent and what financial stability should look like before bringing a little one into the world. Whether you're a proud parent, thinking about kids, or happily child-free, this episode is packed with unfiltered opinions, hilarious takes, and deep reflections on one of the most personal decisions you'll ever make.

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.
