What really happens when your veterinary clinic is sold? In this week's episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, unpack the messy realities behind acquisitions, whether by large corporate groups or independent buyers. They explore what practice owners, associates, and staff need to know before the ink dries on a deal. For veterinarians, the shift often means more reporting, formal reviews, and oversight that can feel like a loss of autonomy. For technicians and support staff, acquisitions can bring both anxiety and surprising benefits, such as more consistent schedules, guaranteed lunch breaks, and expanded benefits. The conversation extends globally, examining the UK and Australia, where corporate ownership now dominates the market. Government commissions are scrutinizing rising costs and pushing for price transparency, a trend that could shape the U.S. veterinary landscape. Ernie and Beckie also discuss the ripple effects of mergers, staffing cuts, upsell pressures, and client frustrations (and uncomfortable conversations) when fees suddenly jump. Most importantly, they outline what teams can do to prepare, from negotiating staff retention clauses to protecting community trust. If you're facing an acquisition—or even just wondering what might happen—this episode offers clear insights into how to navigate change and protect both your team and your patients.

What does it mean to be a man? It's a timeless question that's been answered in different ways across the ages. For the ancient Romans, the word for manliness was virtus — the root of our word virtue. To be a man meant living a life of virtuous excellence.Waller Newell takes up that same definition in his book The Code of Man, first published twenty years ago and now released in a new edition. Today on the show, Waller, a professor of political science, argues that we need to recover an older vision of manhood rooted in the traditions of Western antiquity. He shares the five paths that, in his view, form the classical code of manliness and how they can continue to be lived out today.Resources Related to the PodcastWaller's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #104 — The Code of Man With Waller NewellAoM Article: What Is Manliness?AoM series on the origins and nature of manhoodAoM Podcast #1,028: The 5 Marks of a ManAoM Podcast #926: The 5 Shifts of ManhoodAoM Article: Got Thumos?AoM Article: What Is a Man?

On this week's episode of The Horizon, John Chang unpacks how shifting government policies around tariffs, immigration, and a potential shutdown could shape commercial real estate over the next several years. He explains why rolling tariffs are inflationary rather than transitory, how tighter immigration reduces labor supply and pushes wages higher, and why delayed government data complicates the Fed's rate-cut path. John also maps sector-level ripple effects, from construction and value-add cost pressures to hospitality and retail demand, while noting strong household balance sheets and tactical opportunities for investors who position near policy beneficiaries like domestic steel. He closes with a pragmatic takeaway: uncertainty raises risk, but it also creates investable dislocations for informed operators.

A fiery Chevron refinery blast leads today's news, while Hamas signals it may accept parts of Trump's Gaza peace plan, including releasing hostages. Sean “Diddy” Combs is sentenced to more than four years in prison on prostitution charges, along with supervised release and a hefty fine. David Vassegh checks in live from Philly as the Dodgers take on the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS. Meanwhile, a nostalgic nod to Ted Ziegenbusch—once the voice of “Love Songs on the Coast”—and a shocking crash as a suspect slams into the steps of City Hall. 

Diving into the evolving landscape of the partner ecosystem, the discussion centers around three major forces shaping the industry by 2030. First, cloud marketplaces are projected to reach $163 billion in transactions, with nearly 60% of that being partner-led. This shift signifies a redefinition of partner value in the marketplace era, moving beyond traditional procurement methods. Second, the rise of AI services is highlighted, with a projected $267 billion opportunity by 2030, growing at an impressive 35% CAGR. This transition emphasizes the importance of packaging, governance, and delivering measurable outcomes rather than merely developing AI technologies.The conversation also delves into the critical role of cybersecurity as a services multiplier, with a study indicating that for every dollar spent on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, partners can generate over $7 in services revenue. This statistic underscores the potential for partners to leverage cybersecurity solutions to enhance their service offerings. Jay McBain, Chief Analyst at Omdia, provides insights into how these trends impact channel partners, vendors, and the future of IT services, emphasizing the need for partners to adapt to these changes. As the discussion progresses, the challenges and opportunities for partners in the AI landscape are examined. The conversation points out that while AI is becoming a feature rather than a standalone product, partners must engage with business leaders across various departments to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-driven solutions. The importance of understanding customer needs and aligning services accordingly is stressed, as partners risk being sidelined by larger system integrators and management consultants if they do not adapt.Finally, the dialogue touches on the changing economics of partnering, particularly in light of recent shifts by major vendors like Microsoft and Cisco, which are cutting back on their partner networks. This consolidation raises questions about how partners can continue to thrive in a landscape where margins are shrinking. The emphasis is placed on the necessity for partners to rethink their business models, focusing on delivering high-value services and leveraging the opportunities presented by AI and cybersecurity to ensure sustainable growth in the future.

Husbands — is your tone tearing down the very people you're called to love?It's not just what you say — it's how you say it. In this video, I'm sharing the 5 tone shifts that changed everything for me: the way I talk to my wife, the atmosphere in my home, and the way I lead as a man of God.I used to snap out of exhaustion, not anger — but my tone was still lethal. Maybe you've been there: your wife or kids flinch at your words, even when you didn't mean harm. That's when I realized: your tone sets the temperature of your home.

Our Chief China Equity Strategist Laura Wang discusses how China's new approach to economic development is transforming domestic industries and reshaping the global investment landscape.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Laura Wang, Morgan Stanley's Chief China Equity Strategist.Today – a consequential shift in China's economic policy is set to reshape domestic markets and send ripples across the global economy.It's Thursday, October 2nd at 2pm in Hong Kong.If you're an investor, it's important to understand China's new approach to economic development. The government's policies to drive a recovery from an economic slump are changing the rules of competition, profitability and growth. This affects Chinese companies, and in turn global supply chains and investment flows.Let's start with the term involution – what is it? In China, involution describes a cycle of excessive competition—think companies fighting for market share by slashing prices, ramping up production, and eroding profits, often to the point where nobody wins. The government's anti-involution campaign is a direct response to this problem.What factors prompted the launch of this anti-involution initiative? Since 2021, China has faced mounting deflationary pressures—falling prices, a housing market slump, and a surge in manufacturing investment that led to overcapacity. The September 2024 policy pivot began to address these issues, and in mid-2025 the government launched a more targeted anti-involution campaign. This phase focuses on reducing excessive competition and restoring pricing power through market-based consolidation.As we assess the potential effectiveness of China's anti-involution policy, our base case projects China's return on equity (ROE) to reach 13.3 percent by 2030, up from a cycle low of 10 percent in May 2024 and 11.6 percent by July 2025. In a bullish scenario, decisive reforms and demand-side stimulus could push ROE as high as 16.3 percent.We also expect earnings growth to accelerate, with our base case showing an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6 percent in 2025, rising to 11.1 percent by 2027. We forecast valuations to normalize towards 12–13x forward price-to-earnings, in line with emerging market peers, but this could re-rate higher if reforms succeed.In terms of investment opportunities, we believe the EV Batteries industry will benefit the most from the Chinese government's anti-involution efforts. It's got strong policy support, cutting-edge technology, and a market that's consolidating fast—meaning the days of low-quality and excess capacity are fading. We're seeing a shift toward long-term, sustainable growth. Steel and Cement are industries where the state has a strong hand and capacity controls are well established. These factors help stabilize the market and open the door for steady gains. Finally, Airlines. While the industry has faced persistent losses, there isn't a[n] oversupply of seats, and regulatory coordination is strong. With the right reforms, Airlines could be poised for a significant turnaround.The sectors best positioned to benefit from China's anti-involution strategy are more domestically oriented. But this policy is bound to have global implications. And the ripples will likely extend to global supply chains, especially in Materials, Chemicals and Autos.Looking ahead, the pace and success of anti-involution will depend on further structural reforms, demand-side support, and the ability to digest industrial credit risks gradually. The upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan could bring more clarity on tax, social welfare, and local government incentives.So, what should investors be paying attention to? China's anti-involution campaign is more than a policy tweak—it's a recalibration of how the country balances growth, innovation, and sustainability. The key is to track sector-level reforms, watch for signs of consolidation, and focus on companies with strong fundamentals and policy tailwinds.Thanks for listening.

Ever felt like you're stuck in old relationship patterns, no matter how hard you try to break free? Or perhaps you find yourself repeating the same old arguments, feeling misunderstood, or cycling through self-doubt and disconnection from your partner. The truth is, long-term intimacy often brings hidden challenges to the surface, and many of us wrestle with how to unravel deeply ingrained habits that hold us back from experiencing truly authentic, safe, and thriving partnerships. In this episode, listeners discover how making tiny, targeted external shifts—rather than endlessly searching for answers within—can pave the way for new relational experiences and stronger partnerships. By exploring actionable strategies rooted in intuition, personal development, and a unique system for understanding your “ego centers,” you'll learn how even the smallest changes can disrupt well-worn habits, unlock growth, and attract more authentic, secure connections in your life. Whether struggling with undervaluing yourself, longing for healthier dynamics, or navigating the challenge of healing old wounds in love, this conversation offers fresh perspectives and practical tools to help you build the partnership you truly want. New York Times best-selling author and intuitive Laura Day has spent nearly four decades helping individuals, organizations, and companies harness and develop their innate intuitive abilities to create profound change. Newsweek magazine calls her “The $10,000-a-Month Psychic,” adding “When business people need a crystal ball, they turn to consultant Laura Day, the ‘intuitionist.'” The Independent dubbed her “The Psychic of Wall Street.” Laura's work has helped demystify intuition and bring it into the mainstream for everyday folk and A-Listers. In her workshops and presentations, she demonstrates the practical, verifiable, and sometimes astonishing uses of intuition in the fields of business, science, medicine, and personal growth. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website.   Episode Highlights 04:49 How Laura Day's trauma shaped her path as an intuitive. 08:11 Bringing structure and credibility to intuitive and psychic work.  11:57 Discovering the “Prism” and redefining the role of ego. 14:25 How small external shifts can disrupt ingrained patterns. 19:19 How our bodies and patterns shape reality. 21:02 What your heartbeat says about your relationships. 25:35 How self-talk influences the energy you bring to relationships. 29:10 How new habits around value impact every area of life. 31:12 Simple practices to reinforce self-worth and openness. 34:01 Setting goals and finding a community to support relational growth.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Write down three meaningful goals that give your life and relationships purpose. Pick one small, new habit to try today—something simple that disrupts old patterns. When you catch self-criticism, replace it with a gentle affirmation (e.g., “I forgive myself for being imperfect”). Practice responding to opportunities and compliments with openness and gratitude to change how you engage with the world. Pause to notice what emotion you're giving off before you act or speak. Invite new experiences, people, or communities into your life that challenge your habits or expand your perspective, rather than only looking inward. Do one thing outside your comfort zone or in a new environment. Join or engage with a community that encourages your growth.   Mentioned The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Practical Intuition: How to Harness the Power of Your Instinct and Make It Work for You (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Practical Intuition in Love: Let Your Intuition Guide You to the Love of Your Life (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book)   Connect with Laura Day Websites: lauraday.com Facebook: facebook.com/lauradaycircle YouTube: youtube.com/user/LauraDayCircle Instagram: instagram.com/lauradayintuit LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/laura-day-023b1713
