Podcasts about shifts

NPR's Ron Elving has been thinking about the state of U.S. politics since President Donald Trump returned to power. Also, several countries in South America elected conservative and even far right leaders in 2025, marking a political and ideological shift in the region. And, we'll have the highlight reel from the year in sports. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

As we head into 2026, one thing is clear - the gap between average retailers and top performers is widening — and it has nothing to do with effort. In this Five Minute Friday, Ashley Alderson breaks down what the top 10% of retailers do differently right now, and why those decisions are positioning them to grow and scale while others feel stuck. Hard work isn't the issue. Strategy is. Ashley shares the four key differences separating high-performing retailers from those struggling to gain traction — and how you can start applying these shifts immediately as you plan for the year ahead. You'll learn: How building systems before you need them changes everything Why top retailers operate like CEOs — not reactive entrepreneurs What it really means to use AI as a strategic partner (not a shortcut) Why customer retention is outperforming reach and visibility The retailers winning in 2026 aren't guessing. They're operating with clarity, data, and intention — and you can too.  

This week, we're talking about how to create the most powerful shift you can make when kicking off a new year: your identity. In this special New Year's episode, I share the exact process that's helped me move out of the “passenger seat” and into the driver's seat of my own career and life. We'll break down the 12 illusions that secretly dictate how we think, act, and even judge our supposed “failures”—and I'll challenge you to question whether concepts like failure, shame, and need actually exist, or if you've just agreed to them out of habit.You'll discover a step-by-step ritual for releasing the habits, fears, and self-criticism you're finally ready to leave in 2025—and replacing them with the positive qualities and intentions you want to live by in 2026. I get real about how this is not a thought experiment, but a transformative practice you can do right now, at midnight or anytime you're ready to reset. From burning up your old beliefs (sometimes literally!) to reading your new identity statements every day, this is how you set your intentions in motion and start becoming the future version of yourself you actually want to be.If you're tired of having life just “happen” to you and are ready for a fresh start, join me for this reflective and actionable episode. There are no guests and no outside links mentioned this week—just you, me, and a powerful invitation to take control of your story for 2026.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

November delivered a mixed bag for short-term rentals — and this episode breaks down what really happened beneath the headline numbers. RevPAR dipped, occupancy softened, and demand growth slowed, but not for the reasons many hosts might expect. Jamie Lane and Bram Gallagher unpack how calendar shifts, supply growth, and subtle demand dynamics distorted the monthly data — and why November may not be as weak as it first appears.Beyond performance, the conversation zooms out to the broader economic backdrop shaping STR demand. With new jobs and inflation data finally back online, the picture that emerges is one of a gradually softening labor market, uneven sector growth, and continued uncertainty around interest rates. The hosts also explore troubling trends in international inbound travel, particularly from Canada, and what policy shifts — or global events — could mean for future recovery.The episode closes on a forward-looking note, spotlighting holiday pacing and the early signals for 2026. From stronger-than-expected Christmas and New Year travel to a surge in bookings tied to the 2026 World Cup, this data-rich discussion offers hosts and operators critical insight into where opportunity — and risk — may lie in the months ahead.You don't want to miss this episode if you're planning for 2025 and beyond.Key Takeaways for STR Hosts & ManagersNovember's softness was partly a calendar illusion: A day-of-week shift materially impacted occupancy and demand comparisons.Rates are stabilizing again: ADR and repeat rent index growth returned after a weak late summer, signaling pricing power may be improving.International demand remains a concern: Inbound travel to the U.S. is still significantly down, especially from Canada.Holiday travel is shifting later: New Year's is pacing exceptionally strong, pushing more demand into early January.The World Cup is already reshaping 2026 demand: June bookings are surging — especially in host cities — with major implications for pricing and strategy.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

This week's replay, one of the most popular episodes of 2025, features a profound conversation between Barry Barkan, visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder, and AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan. These longtime friends discuss reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkan shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barkan offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Ryan and Barkan explore the concept of "Elder Awesome" and moving beyond traditional notions of "elder care." They also discuss the "Tao of Blessings"—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkan offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

SHOW 12-22-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT FUTURE NAVY. 1941 HICKAM FIELD 1. Restoring Naval Autonomy: Arguments for Separating the Navy from DoD. Tom Modly argues the Navy is an "underperforming asset" within the Defense Department's corporate structure, similar to how Fiat Chrysler successfully spun off Ferrari. He suggests the Navy needs independence to address critical shipbuilding deficits and better protect global commerce and vulnerable undersea cables from adversaries. 2. Future Fleets: Decentralizing Firepower to Counter Chinese Growth. Tom Modly warns that China's shipbuilding capacity vastly outpaces the US, requiring a shift toward distributed forces rather than expensive, concentrated platforms. He advocates for a reinvigorated, independent Department of the Navy to foster the creativity needed to address asymmetric threats like Houthi attacks on high-value assets. 3. British Weakness: The Failure to Challenge Beijing Over Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon predicts Prime Minister Starmer will fail to secure Jimmy Lai's release because the UK mistakenly views China as an economic savior. He notes the UK's diminished military and economic leverage leads to a submissive diplomatic stance, despite China'sdeclining ability to offer investment. 4. Enforcing Sanctions: Interdicting the Shadow Fleet to Squeeze China. Victoria Coates details the Trump administration's enforcement of a "Monroe Doctrine" corollary, using naval power to seize tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to China. This strategy exposes China's lack of maritime projection and energy vulnerability, as Beijingcannot legally contest the seizures of illicit shadow fleet vessels. 5. Symbolic Strikes: US and Jordan Target Resurgent ISIS in Syria. Following an attack on US personnel, the US and Jordan conducted airstrikes against ISIS strongholds, likely with Syrian regime consultation. Ahmed Sharawi questions the efficacy of striking desert warehouses when ISIS cells have moved into urban areas, suggesting the strikes were primarily symbolic domestic messaging. 6. Failure to Disarm: Hezbollah's Persistence and UNIFIL's Inefficacy. David Daoud reports that the Lebanesegovernment is failing to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River, merely evicting them from abandoned sites. He argues UNIFIL is an ineffective tripwire, as Hezbollah continues to rebuild infrastructure and receive funding right under international observers' noses. 7. Global Jihad: The Distinct Threats of the Brotherhood and ISIS. Edmund Fitton-Brown contrasts the Muslim Brotherhood's long-term infiltration of Western institutions with ISIS's violent, reckless approach. He warns that ISISremains viable, with recent facilitated attacks in Australia indicating a resurgence in capability beyond simple "inspired" violence. 8. The Forever War: Jihadist Patience vs. American Cycles. Bill Roggio argues the US has failed to defeat jihadist ideology or funding, allowing groups like Al-Qaeda to persist in Afghanistan and Africa. He warns that adversaries view American withdrawals as proof of untrustworthiness, exploiting the US tendency to fight short-term wars against enemies planning for decades. 9. The Professional: Von Steuben's Transformation of the Continental Army. Richard Bell introduces Baron von Steuben as a desperate, unemployed Prussian officer who professionalized the ragtag Continental Army at Valley Forge. Washington's hiring of foreign experts like Steuben demonstrated a strategic willingness to utilize global talent to ensure the revolution's survival. 10. Privateers and Prison Ships: The Unsung Cost of Maritime Independence. Richard Bell highlights the crucial role of privateers like William Russell, who raided British shipping when the Continental Navy was weak. Captured privateers faced horrific conditions in British "black hole" facilities like Mill Prison and the deadly prison ship Jersey in New York Harbor, where mortality rates reached 50%. 11. Caught in the Crossfire: Indigenous Struggles in the Revolutionary War. Molly Brant, a Mohawk leader, allied with the British to stop settler encroachment but became a refugee when the British failed to protect Indigenous lands. Post-war, white Americans constructed myths portraying themselves as blameless victims while ignoring their own Indigenous allies and British betrayals regarding land rights. 12. The Irish Dimension: Revolutionary Hopes and Brutal Repression. The Irish viewed the American Revolutionas a signal that the British Empire was vulnerable, sparking the failed 1798 Irish rebellion. While the British suppressed Irish independence brutally under Cornwallis, Irish immigrants and Scots-Irish settlers like Andrew Jackson fervently supported the Continental Army against the Crown. 13. Assessing Battlefield Realities: Russian Deceit and Ukrainian Counterattacks. John Hardie analyzes the "culture of deceit" within the Russian military, exemplified by false claims of capturing Kupyansk while Ukraine actually counterattacked. This systemic lying leads to overconfidence in Putin's strategy, though Ukraine also faces challenges with commanders hesitating to report lost positions to avoid forced counterattacks. 14. Shifts in Latin America: Brazilian Elections and Venezuelan Hope. Ernesto Araujo and Alejandro Peña Esclusapredict a 2026 battle between socialist accommodation and freedom-oriented transformation in Brazil, highlighted by Flavio Bolsonaro's candidacy against Lula. Meanwhile, Peña Esclusa anticipates Venezuela's liberation and a broader regional shift toward the right following leftist defeats in Ecuador, Argentina, and Chile. 15. Trump's Security Strategy: Homeland Defense Lacks Global Clarity. John Yoo praises the strategy's focus on homeland defense and the Western Hemisphere, reviving a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. However, he criticizes the failure to explicitly name China as an adversary or define clear goals for defending allies in Asia and Europe against great power rivals. 16. Alienating Allies: The Strategic Cost of Attacking European Partners. John Yoo argues that imposing tariffs and attacking democratic European allies undermines the coalition needed to counter China and Russia. He asserts that democracies are the most reliable partners for protecting American security and values, making cooperation essential despite resource constraints and political disagreements.

Send us a text! (Your number stays private)Growth doesn't always come from doing more. It often comes from making quieter, harder decisions behind the scenes.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with analyst Yousef Munayyer about shifts in US public policy and public opinion over the past 20 years and especially the last 2.5 years, including an analysis of the Biden Administration's support for Israeli genocide. They discuss the BDS movement and the impact of the Palestinian boycott of the New York Times in light of dispersed media access. Finally, drawing from the current landscape, they look ahead at coming threats and shifts. The conversation references this Intercept article, '“Between the Hammer and the Anvil”: The Story Behind the New York Times October 7 Exposé," from February 2024.  Yousef Munayyer is Head of the Palestine/Israel Program and Senior Fellow at Arab Center Washington DC. He also serves as a member of the editorial committee of the Journal of Palestine Studies and was previously Executive Director of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.  Dr. Munayyer holds a PhD in International Relations and Comparative Politics from the University of Maryland. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. You can follow Ahmed on Substack at: https://ahmedmoor.substack.com Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

This episode is a little shorter, a little messier, and very real. I sat down ready to record one thing, and my energy said absolutely not. So instead of forcing it, I pivoted...and what came out was three lessons I think a lot of overwhelmed, high-achieving SLPs need to hear right now. If you've ever felt discouraged because you know better but still struggle, this one's for you.What You'll LearnHow to recognize your energy in the moment when to honor itWhy making progress doesn't mean you'll never struggle again (and why that doesn't mean you're failing)Why “regression” isn't really regression--it's humanHow your brain looks for evidence to confirm whatever story you're telling yourselfA simple mindset shift to stop spiraling when your inner critic gets loudIf This Resonates…If this episode hit home -- especially if you're thinking “I know all this, so why do I still struggle?” -- I'd love to talk with you. That's exactly the kind of loop I help clients untangle in coaching.

What happens when convenience becomes the cost? We close the year by unpacking the eight tech stories that reshaped daily life, wallets, and trust. From streaming's pivot back to bundles that feel like cable, to smart speakers and connected appliances that quietly ship household data to the cloud, we trace how “modern” increasingly means managed—and often monitored.We dig into the robotics hype cycle and ask why humanoids still struggle with balance and dexterity while specialized bots make real progress. We revisit the year's biggest cloud outages and map the true downstream impact on classrooms, small businesses, and critical services. Then we turn to the road: cars and EVs are now rolling data platforms, collecting location histories, driving behaviors, and infotainment usage that can flow to insurers and third parties. The question isn't whether your vehicle knows you—it's who else does, and for how long.Surveillance didn't expand with sirens; it seeped in through doorbells, license plate readers, and citywide cameras, often in partnership with law enforcement. We challenge the idea that this is inevitable and debate where safety ends and overreach begins. Finally, we tackle AI's identity crisis: voice cloning, realistic generation, fragile safeguards, and the policy vacuum that leaves creators, consumers, and companies guessing. Can we set guardrails without strangling innovation? We argue for practical steps—licensing high-risk systems, watermarking synthetic media, meaningful transparency, and liability when promised safety fails—while keeping room for creativity and progress.Along the way, we keep it human: tradeoffs you can control now, policies worth pushing for, and a rye whiskey tasting to toast lessons learned. If you care about privacy, reliability, AI ethics, or just want streaming to stop nickel-and-diming you, this conversation brings clarity without the jargon. If it resonates, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and drop your take: what tech boundary should we draw first?

Tired of watching student teams burn out mid-project? Or seeing the same student take charge while others fade into the background? In this episode, I share a simple but powerful strategy that reinvigorated our year-long student-run business: rotating roles. You'll hear how a single shift—letting students try on new responsibilities—rebalanced workloads, re-energized participation, and fostered deeper collaboration and skill growth. Through the story of our Montessori middle school café project, you'll hear how rotating a fatigued marketing manager into product development not only reignited his excitement, but sparked new momentum across the entire team. You'll learn: Why rotating roles prevents burnout, apathy, and imbalance in student teams 4 simple, flexible roles you can apply to any PBL experience How role rotation supports fairer assessment, stronger collaboration, and broader skill-building Quick examples for applying this in an urban garden, student podcast, or playground redesign Why this small shift keeps projects moving forward—without constant teacher intervention Whether you're guiding 6th graders through their first group inquiry or facilitating interdisciplinary projects with high schoolers, this episode will equip you with one of the easiest changes you can make… that delivers outsized results.

In this episode, Hannah Adler, Senior Biomass Reporter, explores how changes in the UK's renewable policy and certificate markets are shaping the outlook for the biomass market. She's joined by Giulio Bajona, Deputy Editor for Global Energy Certificates, to discuss:   What CfD reforms, sustainability consultations, and EU regulatory delays mean for the REGO market, and ultimately biomass generators. If policy changes, such as UK sustainability rules and the EUDR, will act as price drivers in 2026, or if they are still too far out to matter? What factors have contributed to the current bearish trend in certificate prices?   Argus offers biomass prices, news, analysis, and consulting.  Request a free trial or more information

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world.In a dynamic landscape marked by both advancements and challenges, the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors continue to evolve with notable scientific, regulatory, and strategic updates. Ipsen's recent $1 billion acquisition of Simcere's preclinical LRRC15-targeting asset underscores a growing focus on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). These conjugates leverage the targeted action of antibodies combined with the cytotoxic effects of drugs, representing a promising approach to cancer treatment by potentially minimizing systemic toxicity. Ipsen's strategic move reflects its commitment to expanding its oncology portfolio and staying competitive within the rapidly advancing ADC landscape.AstraZeneca has been active in its pursuit of innovative cancer treatments. The company has invested $100 million in Jacobio's clinical-stage pan-KRAS inhibitor, a promising development targeting KRAS mutations prevalent in various cancers. This investment aligns with AstraZeneca's strategy to tackle challenging oncogenic targets. However, their efforts faced a setback as their Phase 3 trial for ceralasertib, an ATR inhibitor for lung cancer, failed to meet its primary endpoint. Despite this setback, AstraZeneca maintains confidence by investing significantly in promising areas like KRAS inhibitors, highlighting the inherent risks involved in pioneering novel therapeutic strategies, particularly those aiming to overcome resistance mechanisms in immuno-oncology.BioMarin has quietly discontinued its liver disease candidate amid a $4.8 billion deal with Amicus. This decision points to the complex nature of pipeline prioritization and resource allocation within high-stakes financial environments. The company's strategic shifts reflect ongoing evaluations of their development priorities in light of evolving market demands.Boehringer Ingelheim has demonstrated a commitment to renal therapeutics with a $448 million investment in Rectify Pharmaceuticals for a preclinical chronic kidney disease program. This partnership seeks to address significant unmet medical needs within kidney disease treatment. Meanwhile, Gilead Sciences has entered into a $35 million licensing agreement with Assembly Biosciences for herpes simplex virus (HSV) assets, diversifying its infectious disease portfolio and expanding its reach within antiviral therapies.Novo Holdings-backed Windward Bio's acquisition of rights to Qyun's clinical-stage immunology bispecifics for $700 million highlights robust activity in the immunology space. Bispecific antibodies are gaining traction due to their ability to target two antigens simultaneously, offering enhanced therapeutic efficacy. This acquisition illustrates ongoing interest in this area as companies seek innovative solutions to complex immunological challenges.The broader industry is also witnessing strategic partnerships such as Aditum Bio's launch of a new biotech venture with Fosun Pharma. This collaboration aims to foster novel therapies through a synergistic blend of biotechnology innovation and pharmaceutical expertise. These alliances reflect an industry trend towards collaborative efforts that leverage diverse strengths to advance therapeutic development.In regulatory news, nine major pharmaceutical companies have reached agreements with the U.S. government to lower certain drug prices in exchange for tariff relief. This development signals ongoing negotiations aimed at balancing drug affordability with industry sustainability amid growing scrutiny over pricing practices.In December 2025, significant developments emerged, impacting scientific innovation, regulatory approvals, mergers, and strategic partnerships across the industry. Notably, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted early approval to Cytokinetics' MyqorzSupport the show

These profound demographic changes are significantly influencing white identity and societal dynamics. The prospect of becoming a numerical minority challenges the long-held perception of white Americans as the "prototypical ethnic group" or what it means to be "All-American."  This shift is seen by some as eroding material advantages historically associated with being white, prompting a deep re-evaluation of white identity itself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Are you tired of "starting over" with your nutrition goals — again and again — every single year? You say you want to eat better… You want to feel better… But something always seems to pull you off track. This episode is part two of our 2026 Success Series, and we're talking specifically about weight loss, nutrition, and your relationship with food. No more vague intentions. No more strict plans that don't fit real life. No more relying on willpower, then beating yourself up when it fails. If you're ready to make real, sustainable changes — and finally follow through — this is the episode for you.

In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I unpack the critical shifts CEOs must anticipate as we approach 2026, with a sharp focus on clarity in leadership and organizational expectations. I share five key predictions shaping the business landscape: sustained recession-like consumer behavior, the necessity of intentional pricing strategies amid shrinkflation, a growing premium on predictability over aggressive growth, the importance of empowering leaders to eliminate decision bottlenecks, and the need to cultivate a culture rooted in trust and accountability. I also offer a pragmatic perspective on AI adoption, encouraging leaders to integrate it strategically in the service of clear business objectives rather than chasing hype. The episode concludes with practical reflection points to help leaders recalibrate their approach and drive sustainable growth in an increasingly complex environment. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:14 Recession-like Behavior Persists 4:33 Pricing Increases and Shrinkflation 7:01 Predictability Over Aggressive Growth 9:13 CEO Bottleneck as a Growth Killer 14:18 Culture as a Performance System 17:56 The Good, Bad, and Ugly of AI Leadership Clarity in a Shifting Business Landscape As we approach 2026, clarity in leadership and organizational expectations will become a defining advantage for CEOs. Drawing from years of conversations with founders and executives of high-growth companies, this episode explores how even minor misalignments in leadership expectations can create outsized organizational challenges. Leaders who take ownership of clearly articulating expectations—and ensuring those expectations truly land with their teams gain leverage, alignment, and momentum. This section sets the foundation for why clarity is no longer optional, but essential for navigating increasing complexity. Five Predictions Every CEO Must Prepare For The core of the episode centers on five predictions shaping the future of business: Persistent Recession-Like Behavior: Regardless of economic labels, consumer caution is here to stay. Buying decisions are more deliberate, value-driven, and less impulsive. CEOs are encouraged to simplify offerings, build predictability, and reflect on how their organizations respond to shifting customer behavior. Intentional Pricing in the Age of Shrinkflation: As prices rise and value perceptions tighten, leaders must price with clarity and intention. Communicating value effectively builds trust and reduces friction in increasingly price-sensitive markets. Predictability Over Aggressive Growth: Stability, consistency, and dependable revenue streams will outperform volatility. CEOs are prompted to examine scalability, operational design, and whether their structures support sustainable performance. Eliminating the CEO Bottleneck: Over-centralized decision-making slows organizations down. This segment challenges leaders to identify where delegation, empowerment, and shared leadership can accelerate growth. Redefining Culture Beyond Perks: High-performing cultures are built on trust, accountability, and clear expectations not superficial benefits. Leaders are guided to redesign roles around outcomes and uphold performance standards that drive engagement. AI, Alignment, and Leading Into 2026 The episode concludes with a pragmatic look at artificial intelligence as both an opportunity and a risk. While AI can unlock efficiency and scale, rushed adoption without strategic intent often fails to deliver ROI. AI, when approached thoughtfully, becomes a leadership discipline—not just a technology initiative. Throughout this final section, CEOs are given reflection prompts to assess alignment, leadership leverage, and focus. The central takeaway is clear: leading successfully in 2026 will not require more effort, but a sharper focus. By prioritizing clarity, alignment, and empowered leadership, CEOs can drive sustainable growth and confidently navigate an evolving business environment. Key Takeaways Leading in 2026 will not require more effort it will require a shift in focus. By prioritizing clarity, alignment, predictability, and leadership leverage, CEOs can position their organizations for sustainable growth and confidently navigate what lies ahead.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. In the ever-evolving landscape of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, a series of strategic transactions and scientific advancements are reshaping the industry.BioMarin's acquisition of Amicus Therapeutics for $4.8 billion is a significant highlight, marking the company's largest transaction to date. This move signifies a strategic pivot towards enhancing its capabilities in the rare disease sector, leveraging Amicus's expertise and robust pipeline to potentially improve patient outcomes in this highly specialized area. This acquisition is expected to enrich BioMarin's portfolio significantly with promising assets from Amicus, reflecting a strategic shift under new leadership towards rare disease treatments.Regulatory affairs have seen considerable activity as well, with the FDA raising concerns over manufacturing practices at Catalent's gene therapy facility. These issues, documented in a Form 483 following inspections, particularly pertain to the production of Elevidys. Such regulatory scrutiny emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining compliance with manufacturing standards in gene therapy—a burgeoning field within biotech that holds immense promise for treating genetically-driven conditions.The FDA's oversight extends beyond manufacturing practices to advertising, as evidenced by an untitled letter issued to Bristol Myers Squibb regarding their Cobenfy TV ad. This action is part of the FDA's broader initiative to ensure that direct-to-consumer marketing materials accurately portray drug benefits and risks, thereby protecting public health.In another strategic move, Alvotech and Teva are gearing up for the 2026 U.S. launch of an Eylea biosimilar following a settlement with Regeneron. This development highlights the competitive dynamics within the biosimilar market—a segment poised for growth as patents on major biologics expire, offering more cost-effective alternatives and expanding treatment access.Meanwhile, Clovis Oncology has achieved a milestone with Rubraca, which transitioned from accelerated approval to full FDA endorsement for prostate cancer treatment after five years. This progression underscores Rubraca's demonstrated efficacy and safety profile in addressing advanced prostate cancer—a notable achievement amid an increasingly competitive oncology market.Policy changes proposed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could have profound implications by disrupting funding streams for hospitals providing gender-affirming care to minors. The potential impact on healthcare providers and patients who rely on these services is significant.Turning to clinical trials, Daiichi Sankyo has seen success with Enhertu receiving FDA approval for first-line HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. Nonetheless, challenges persist as a separate phase 3 trial for another antibody-drug conjugate was paused due to unexpected patient deaths. Meanwhile, Takeda plans to seek FDA approval for its TYK2 inhibitor following successful phase 3 trials in psoriasis—indicating promising potential in autoimmune disease therapies.Strategic shifts are evident across organizations as well, highlighted by Kathy Fernando's departure from Pfizer to join Replicate Bioscience as Chief Business Officer. Her new role focuses on advancing Replicate's self-replicating RNA technology platform—an area gaining traction due to its implications for vaccine development and therapeutic applications.On the clinical trials front, Altimmune reported encouraging results from a 48-week study on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Their GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist demonstrated sustained weight loss and improvements in non-invasive liver fibrosis measures—offering new hope for MASH patients who face limited treSupport the show

In this final "human" podcast of 2025, Todd and Jon discuss the changing landscape of media distribution, internet connectivity, and the year's dominance of Artificial Intelligence. Episode Highlights: The Oscars Move to Streaming: The Academy Awards has signed a deal to move video distribution exclusively to YouTube starting in 2029. Todd notes that many viewers already consume the content via clips on the platform rather than the full terrestrial broadcast. The Digital Divide: A look at the 4-6% of US households completely without internet access and the 15-20% lacking fixed broadband. The hosts discuss the lingering presence of DSL compared to cable and fiber. Evolving Home Design: Jon highlights a design trend where living rooms are no longer centered around the television, reflecting a shift toward personal consumption on mobile devices rather than communal viewing. 2025 Tech Retrospective: The hosts reflect on how AI dominated the conversation throughout the year. Jon's Experiment: Using ChatGPT with memory to create a "cognitive time capsule," documenting his current psychological state and preferences to review in ten years. Todd's Experiment: Using Google NotebookLM to analyze and summarize PDF transcripts of the podcast's history. iPadOS 26: Todd notes that despite improved windowing features in iPadOS 26, his personal workflow has remained largely unchanged. Next Week: Todd plans to release an automated summary created via AI tools to close out the year.

After last week's pressure cooker, the energy finally eases up. This is a quieter stretch, but not an empty one. The story is still unfolding, just without the universe yelling in all caps.With fewer major aspects in play, this week is about processing what just happened. The dust settles. Emotions regulate. Conversations surface that help clarify where things stand and where they're headed. Some realizations may still sting, but they arrive with less force and more choice.There are moments of emotional intensity, flashes of truth, and a few revealing conversations, especially around relationships and long term plans. But overall, this is a pause. A chance to think, recalibrate, and decide your next move without being rushed.Consider this the integration phase. What broke last week is showing you why. What survived is proving its strength. And what comes next is forming quietly in the background.Take the breather. You earned it.

Conflicting jobs data indicates a complex economic landscape for IT service providers, as the unemployment rate in the tech sector has risen to 4% with a loss of 134,000 jobs between October and November 2025. Despite a drop in the overall unemployment rate to 4.2% and a projected growth of managed services contributing $608 billion to the B2B technology sector, the mixed signals from economic indicators complicate decision-making for the Federal Reserve and raise concerns about consumer spending. Analysts emphasize that the current job losses reflect a shift in responsibility from internal roles to external managed service providers (MSPs), which may not alleviate underlying risks.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a draft profile addressing cybersecurity challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the need for organizations to manage AI-related security risks effectively. This profile outlines how AI can enhance cybersecurity defenses while also detailing the responsibilities that come with its deployment. Recent assessments reveal that while some AI models perform better in security contexts, the lack of clarity around accountability when AI systems make decisions remains a significant concern for MSPs.Private equity activity is accelerating in the managed services sector, exemplified by Broadwing Capital's acquisition of CloudScale365, which aims to create a platform addressing gaps in the fragmented IT-managed services market. This consolidation trend raises questions for MSPs about operational norms and the potential loss of control over their business models. As platforms seek to standardize pricing and decision-making processes, MSPs must consider how these changes will affect their service delivery and customer relationships.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the evolving landscape underscores the importance of understanding where risk is shifting and how to price and govern accordingly. The retreat from AGI hype and the focus on practical AI applications signal a need for clarity in decision-making processes, particularly as automation becomes more prevalent. MSPs that can articulate the limitations of their AI systems and establish clear accountability frameworks will be better positioned to navigate the complexities of the current market. Four things to know today00:00 As Jobs Data Conflicts and Tech Employment Slips, Managed Services Absorb Risk and Responsibility05:46 NIST's AI Security Framework Meets Reality as Model Safety Gaps Expose Accountability Risks08:54 Broadwing Launches MSP Platform to Standardize Scale, Signaling Growing PE Pressure on MSP Operations11:03 AI Rebrands Itself as Open Source Expands, Automation Scales, and Accountability Gets Murkier This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/

If you're an entrepreneur who feels stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected — even though you know exactly what to do — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.  Many business owners experience burnout, nervous system overload, and identity shifts right before a major growth phase.   In this episode, Tiffany Carter breaks down why success can suddenly feel heavy, why motivation disappears, and why this isn't a strategy problem — it's an internal recalibration.  RESOURCES MENTIONED:  !!LAST CHANCE!! to apply this year: My Exclusive 2-Month Private Business Coaching Program APPLY HERE (*serious applicants only please)  Join the famous ProjectME Posse Business & Money Coaching Membership HERE  {FREE GIFT-LIMITED TIME} Walk into Your Wealthiest Season walking manifestation series + Guided Wealth Journal GET IT HERE  CONNECT WITH TIFF:  Tiffany on Instagram @projectme_with_tiffany   Tiffany on TikTok @projectme_with_tiffany  Tiffany on YouTube: ProjectME TV  Tiffany's FREE Abundance Email Community: JOIN HERE > The Secret Posse Digest     • Why feeling stuck in business is often a sign of an identity shift, not a lack of discipline or clarity
  • How entrepreneur burnout shows up as procrastination, emotional exhaustion, and self doubt
  • Why motivation disappears right before expansion and what that actually means  • How nervous system overload affects decision making, visibility, and sales
  • Why consuming more strategy can make this phase worse
  • The difference between a breakdown and a breakthrough for business owners
  • Why this season requires regulation, support, and integration instead of hustle    Studies on the nervous system show that the brain resists rapid identity change before it supports it. That means when you're on the edge of growth, motivation often drops before momentum returns.  So if you feel stuck even though you know exactly what to do, this episode is for you. Because what you're experiencing isn't a problem to fix — it's a transition to stabilize. 

In this episode, we bid farewell to 2025 with a year-in-review analysis of the biggest news, changes, and trends in rewards, credit cards, and award travel over the last 12 months. This episode is part one of a two-part year-in-review series, and I'm joined by Kelly, the Points and Miles Doc, to break down the biggest changes, surprises, and shakeups in the points and award travel world over the last year.  In this first half of the conversation, we focus on the biggest wins and disappointments of the year—from credit card issuers that made significant changes to new programs that expanded what's possible with points. We talk through how the landscape has shifted, why earning and redeeming points feels more complex than it used to, and how those changes showed up across credit cards, transferable points currencies, and airline loyalty programs.
