Today's poem is Walking Across Fire Island by Shelley Wong.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on April 6, 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “I love to walk, when I'm healthy and mobile enough to walk, it's one of my favorite things to do to recenter myself, or rather decenter myself. For me, it's a solution to many things. When in doubt, hit the road, get out of yourself. Of course it doesn't always work, and there were whole years where I was too sick with vertigo to properly go for a walk, but when it works, it really does work. You don't have to have a plan. You don't have to go fast or go slow. You don't have to know the names of all the fauna and flora. You simply have to put your body into the world and something happens.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on December 21, 2021. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “When I was a kid, I loved falling asleep to the sound of the television in the living room. I liked it most because it meant someone was up watching the world so I didn't have to. The trouble of the world was unfolding on the news and I could sleep through it. There was something both comforting and eerie about it. A world that never shuts off. In today's tender poem, we watch how the tv becomes almost another character in a multigenerational family.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

In this episode, I'm diving into 2 questions submitted by listeners. First up: is your metabolism actually slowing down when you hit a plateau during a diet?  I'm breaking down what metabolic adaptation really is, how fast it kicks in, what signs to watch for, and how to work with your body—not against it. Then we're tackling strength training with limited equipment:  Can you really build muscle using just dumbbells? Spoiler: yes… but there's a catch. I'll walk you through how to keep progressing with what you've got, when it might be time to upgrade your setup, and why adding equipment isn't essential—but will take your gains to the next level. Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, or just feel stronger in your body, this episode is packed with honest, actionable advice you can actually use.

Today's poem is Bruised Peaches by Bronwen Tate. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on June 30, 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “Every Thursday when I take out the trash, I think about how I quantify the value of my life. Every laundry day. Every time I check the mail. It feels like this is how I know time has passed, we roll out the recycling, we mow the lawn, we watch as the seasons change. The day is broken up into the hours in which I feed the dog. Morning, noon, and evenings. Yes, she gets lunch. I give myself lunch, so the dog gets lunch too. There is safety and security in these routines. And yet, I'm sometimes scared that the whole routine of life might swallow me whole.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Jim Rogers, legendary investor and co-founder of the Quantum Fund, has a stark warning for investors: “I've seen this party before, and this one worries me.” In this exclusive interview with James Connor, Rogers reveals why he's exited most of his global equity positions and is now holding massive amounts of cash, gold, and silver.

Story at-a-glance Research shows eating slower increases meal length through more chews and bites, not by changing chewing tempo; this gives your brain more time to register fullness signals The study found following a slow rhythm of 40 beats per minute while eating significantly extended meal length by 47 seconds, adding 29 more chews and almost five more bites Taking smaller bites, using smaller utensils and choosing whole foods that require more chewing naturally extends your mealtime without requiring conscious effort Putting your fork down between bites creates natural pauses that allow fullness hormones to work properly, preventing overeating Women showed stronger responses to slow rhythmic eating cues than men, though the benefits of slower eating applied to both sexes

Today's poem is What Does It Say by Tess Gallagher. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Tracy K. Smith's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on July 17, 2019. In this episode, Tracy writes… “When I packed up for college, back in 1990, I took sneakers and loafers. I probably also brought some nerdy deck shoes, and maybe even a pair of heels. But by the time my sophomore year rolled around, nearly all of those shoes had been replaced by a pair of black cowboy boots. I wore them everyday, even in snow. By the time I came home for the holidays, they were worn down at the heel and a coin-sized hole had been worn through each sole. I was afraid I'd have to let them go, but my mother took them to the shoe repairman, who resoled them, built the heels back up, and polished them to a high shine, reviving them to their former glory!” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Send us a textHave you ever noticed that Jesus—despite carrying the most critical mission in history—was never in a hurry? This profound observation has been challenging me for years as the Holy Spirit consistently whispers: "Tyler, slow down." In our hyper-connected world where information bombards us at unprecedented rates, we've normalized a pace of life that runs contrary to how Jesus operated. After reading "The Relentless Elimination of Hurry" by Mark Comer, I've been confronting this tension between modern expectations and divine example. What if, instead of simply trying to imitate Jesus' character, we actually adopted His lifestyle—including His deliberate, unhurried pace?This episode explores a powerful principle I've been meditating on, borrowed from Navy SEAL tactical training: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." These elite warriors understand that deliberate, controlled movements under pressure lead to superior outcomes compared to rushed, panicked actions. When applied to our lives as Christian entrepreneurs and marketplace believers, this wisdom transforms our effectiveness. Moving methodically, thinking clearly, and proceeding with intention creates the space for true excellence and divine guidance.Consider where hurry might be sabotaging your success and limiting your kingdom impact. Are your rushed decisions truly producing the results you desire? What might change if you approached your work, relationships, and spiritual practices with the controlled precision of a SEAL on mission rather than the frantic pace our culture celebrates? The answer might surprise you—and accelerate your true success in ways hurry never could.Support the show

In this gripping episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee recounts a life-changing car accident that occurred on May 14, 1998. This date holds significant meaning for Baylor, serving as a reminder of the unexpected lessons life teaches us. Through vividly narrated experiences, Baylor offers valuable insights into the importance of direction, the presence of good people, and the necessity of perspective in life's journey. Baylor dives into the heart of the episode by discussing the perils of proceeding blindly at full speed. Drawing from his own past, he stresses that moving faster without direction can lead to missed opportunities and potential setbacks. Highlighting the need to slow down, Baylor reinforces the idea that quality often exceeds speed in achieving meaningful progress. He also emphasizes the importance of recognizing and appreciating the good people around us, encouraging listeners to both seek and offer help. Key Takeaways: Going faster in life without a clear direction often leads to missed opportunities and setbacks. Slowing down allows for more effective action and better decision-making. Believing in the presence of good people in your life can open doors to unexpected assistance. Vocalizing the need for help increases the likelihood of receiving support from others. Keeping things in perspective is crucial; material things can be replaced, but life and well-being are irreplaceable. Notable Quotes: "If you don't know where you're going in life, faster won't get you there." "There are good people out there, and you have to operate with a mentality that there are good people out here." "You are vital to the mission of what you're trying to accomplish." "No matter how bad you think you have it right now, you have it so much better than most." "If you don't know any good people, then be a good person."

Last year, fears of recession faded from the headlines as the "no landing" narrative won out.But the disruption brought by the new Trump administration -- especially around global trade -- has brought recession concerns back to the forefront.The Administration says it isn't worried.

Today's poem is a brief meditation on breath by Yesenia Montilla. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Tracy K. Smith's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on October 19, 2020.In this episode, Tracy writes… “The whole time, I felt all of my senses struggle to decelerate. My heart was like a drum solo. It felt like someone was pounding on my chest. While I was there, I flipped through my mental Rolodex of workday vexation. I ticked off the headlines that, even on a good day, hamper my ability to unwind. Lying there, struggling to relax, egged on by the actual bothers my work-week forces me to wrestle, I understood something. Many people live like this on a regular basis. The peril, the worry, the blood pressure roiling. When you wake up and people doubt you, threaten you, overstep respectful bounds. When leaders utter slurs against you. When every day the deck, already stacked against you, is reshuffled.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Today's poem is I Am Trying to Love the Whole World by Jenny Browne. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on December 21, 2023. In this episode, Major writes… “If only we viewed observations of the natural world and meditations on birds, mammals, and plant life as equally, critically urgent, we might awaken to the necessity of caretaking of our planet and each other. Birdwatching does not have to be a form of looking away, it can be an antidote for our spirit.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Michael Episcope, co-founder of Origin Investments, about his journey from trading commodities to building a real estate firm with over 10,000 multifamily units transacted. Michael shares how his grandfather's scrappy approach to West Side Chicago buildings shaped his foundational real estate mindset, and how he applied those principles to launch Origin during the 2008 financial crisis. The conversation dives deep into why Origin focuses exclusively on Class A multifamily in high-growth markets, avoiding overleveraged deals and emphasizing risk management and rent-growth forecasting. Michael also discusses the current opportunity for savvy operators in the wake of the capital slowdown, highlighting the contrarian advantage in development today and the power of specialization in long-term success.

The world undoubtedly moves at a faster pace today than it did during any previous period of Church history but historian Rachel Cope is a believer that, in all generations, God often aids our conversion by inviting us (and sometimes forcing us) to slow down. On this week's episode she shares her own experience as well as examples from Church History that illustrate the fact that the process of conversion is not a race but rather something that requires work and often takes time. 2:18- Publicly Sharing a Private Struggle 7:40- An Interest in Ordinary People 9:57- Focus on Healing the Whole 17:29- The Miracles of Modern-Day Living 23:12- Lucy and Emma 29:56- Polygamy 40:48- Slow Work 49:37- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “Humans turn things into a race, God doesn't. God wants us to take whatever time we need and if it takes five years, that's great—if it takes 50 years, that's great. He's not worried about the deadlines, He just wants us to be on the journey.”

There have only been two U.S. recessions since 2001 – the Great Financial Crisis and the Pandemic Recession. Both of these were huge – accounting for two of the only three times since the 1940s that the unemployment rate has vaulted to double digits. However, because the recessions of our recent memory have been so dramatic, investors may not appreciate the risks from a softer sort of slowdown.

On episode 190 of The Compound and Friends, Michael Batnick and Downtown Josh Brown are joined by Neil Dutta of RenMac to discuss: the risk of recession, what's really behind Trump's tariffs, the Fed's next move, the explosion of AI, and much more!

Today's poem is hoop snake by Rebecca Wee. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on October 21, 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “A few days ago, a friend told me that Spanish Moss, a moss I love, the way it droops down over the water oaks like mint-colored lace draping the world in a gauzy dappled light, was actually killing the trees. But this myth is gratefully not true. We investigated further, and it turns out Spanish moss gets no nutrients from the trees, but rather takes the moisture and sunlight out of the air. It's also not a moss. It's a bromeliad. It's also not Spanish, but native to the U.S. and Mexico and South America. I like that I can still love Spanish moss and can still think of those beautiful fabric-like threads floating through the canopy as benevolent. I want all the good myths to be true. Because I want to believe in wonder.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “In today's poem by the iconic Edna St. Vincent Millay, we look at the wanderlust that so many of us have been experiencing during this strange time.
