Podcasts about Slower

Another year is nearly in the books. The 2025 housing market was largely defined by construction oversupply, sluggish rent growth, flat home prices, and widespread turbulence, with residential real estate moving far more slowly than anticipated and commercial real estate all but grinding to a halt.   Yet it appears we've reached the bottom, and the silver lining is clear: real estate is still ripe with opportunity for investors who are willing to play the long game.   Today, Brian Burke returns to the show to share where investors should be directing their attention in 2026. Perhaps unsurprisingly, one asset class continues to deliver for investors who are intent on building long-term wealth with real estate. And Brian believes we may be entering a period that could mirror the early 1990s, where the wisest move is to slowly accumulate these assets before the next wave of appreciation.   Slower rent growth might keep otherwise great assets from paying off in year one, but those who persevere through a “season of patience” stand to be rewarded when it really counts: 5 or 10 years from now. In This Episode We Cover Forecasting new construction, home prices, and mortgage rates in 2026 Why a period mirroring the early 1990s could be followed by a 2000s-style boom The roadmap for building generational wealth with small multifamily properties Why investors should focus on asset accumulation in a “season of patience” The asset Brian believes is the biggest “bright spot” in a tough housing market The benefits and potential dangers of the controversial 50-year mortgage And So Much More!

In the first of a two-part episode presenting our 2026 outlooks, Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang has Chief Global Economist Seth Carpenter explain his thoughts on how economies around the world are expected to perform and how central banks may respond.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist. Seth Carpenter: And I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist. Serena Tang: So today and tomorrow, a two-part conversation on Morgan Stanley's year ahead outlook. Today, we'll focus on the all-important macroeconomic backdrop. And tomorrow, we'll be back with our views on investing across asset classes and markets. Serena Tang: It's Monday, November 17th at 10am in New York. So, Seth, 2025 has been a year of transition. Global growth slowed under the weight of tariffs and policy uncertainty. Yet resilience in consumer spending and AI driven investments kept recession fears at bay. Your team has published its economic outlook for 2026. So, what's your view on global growth for the year ahead? Seth Carpenter: We really think next year is going to be the global economy slowing down a little bit more just like it did this year, settling into a slower growth rate. But at the same time, we think inflation is going to keep drifting down in most of the world. Now that anodyne view, though, masks some heterogeneity around the world; and importantly, some real uncertainty about different ways things could possibly go. Here in the U.S., we think there is more slowing to come in the near term, especially the fourth quarter of this year and the beginning of next year. But once the economy works its way through the tariffs, maybe some of the lagged effects of monetary policy, we'll start to see things pick up a bit in the second half of the year. China's a different story. We see the really tepid growth there pushed down by the deflationary spiral they've been in. We think that continues for next year, and so they're probably not quite going to get to their 5 percent growth target. And in Europe, there's this push and pull of fiscal policy across the continent. There's a central bank that thinks they've achieved their job in terms of inflation, but overall, we think growth there is, kind of, unremarkable, a little bit over 1 percent. Not bad, but nothing to write home about at all. So that's where we think things are going in general. But I have to say next year, may well be a year for surprises. Serena Tang: Right. So where do you see the biggest drivers of global growth in 2026, and what are some of the key downside risks? Seth Carpenter: That's a great question. I really do think that the U.S. is going to be a real key driver of the story here. And in fact – and maybe we'll talk about this later – if we're wrong, there's some upside scenarios, there's some downside scenarios. But most of them around the world are going to come from the U.S. Two things are going on right now in the U.S. We've had strong spending data. We've also had very, very weak employment data. That usually doesn't last for very long. And so that's why we think in the near term there's some slowdown in the U.S. and then over time things recover. We could be wrong in either direction. And so, if we're wrong and the labor market sending the real signal, then the downside risk to the U.S. economy – and by extension the global economy – really is a recession in the U.S. Now, given the starting point, given how low unemployment is, given the spending businesses are doing for AI, if we did get that recession, it would be mild. On the other hand, like I said, spending is strong. Business spending, especially CapEx for AI; household spending, especially at the top end of the income distribution where wealth is rising from stocks, where the liability side of the balance sheet is insulated with fixed rate mortgages. That spending could just stay strong, and we might see this upside surprise where the spending really dominates the scene. And again, that would spill over for the rest of the world. What I don't see is a lot of reason to suspect that you're going to get a big breakout next year to the upside or the downside from either Europe or China, relative to our baseline scenarios. It could happen, but I really think most of the story is going to be driven in the U.S. Serena Tang: So, Seth, markets have been focused on the Fed, as it should. What is the likely path in 2026 and how are you thinking about central bank policy in general in other regions? Seth Carpenter: Absolutely. The Fed is always of central importance to most people in markets. Our view – and the market's view, I have to say, has been evolving here. Our view is that the Fed's actually got a few more rate cuts to get through, and that by the time we get to the middle of next year, the middle of 2026, they're going to have their policy rate down just a little bit above 3 percent. So roughly where the committee thinks neutral is. Why do we think that? I think the slowing in the labor market that we talked about before, we think there's something kind of durable there. And now that the government shutdown has ended and we're going to start to get regular data prints again, we think the data are going to show that job creation has been below 50,000 per month on average, and maybe even a few of them are going to get to be negative over the next several months. In that situation, we think the Fed's going to get more inclination to guard against further deterioration in the labor market by keeping cutting rates and making sure that the central bank is not putting any restraint on the economy. That's similar, I would say, to a lot of other developed markets' central banks. But the tension for the ECB, for example, is that President Lagarde has said she thinks; she thinks the disinflationary process is over. She thinks sitting at 2 percent for the policy rate, which the ECB thinks of as neutral, then that's the right place for them to be. Our take though is that the data are going to push them in a different direction. We think there is clearly growth in Europe, but we think it's tepid. And as a result, the disinflationary process has really still got some more room to run and that inflation will undershoot their 2 percent target, and as a result, the ECB is probably going to cut again. And in our view, down to about 1.5 percent. Big difference is in Japan. Japan is the developed market central bank that's hiking. Now, when does that happen? Our best guess is next month in December at the policy meeting. We've seen this shift towards reflation. It hasn't been smooth, hasn't been perfectly linear. But the BoJ looks like they're set to raise rates again in December. But the path for inflation is going to be a bit rocky, and so, they're probably on hold for most of 2026. But we do think eventually, maybe not till 2027, they get back to hiking again – so that Governor Ueda can get the policy rate back close to neutral before he steps down. Serena Tang: So, one of the main investor debates is on AI. Whether it's CapEx, productivity, the future of work. How is that factoring into your team's view on growth and inflation for the next year? Seth Carpenter: Yeah, I mean that is absolutely a key question that we get all the time from investors around the world. When I think about AI and how it's affecting the economy, I think about the demand side of the economy, and that's where you think about this CapEx spending – building data centers, buying semiconductors, that sort of thing. That's demand in the economy. It's using up current resources in the economy, and it's got to be somewhat inflationary. It's part of what has kept the U.S. economy buoyant and resilient this year – is that CapEx spending. Now you also mentioned productivity, and for me, that's on the supply side of the economy. That's after the technology is in place. After firms have started to adopt the technology, they're able to produce either the same amount with fewer workers, or they're able to produce more with the same amount of workers. Either way, that's what productivity means, and it's on the supply side. It can mean faster growth and less inflation. I think where we are for 2026, and it's important that we focus it on the near term, is the demand side is much more important than the supply side. So, we think growth continues. It's supported by this business investment spending. But we still think inflation ends 2026, notably above the Fed's inflation target. And it's going to make five, five and a half years that we've been above target. Productivity should kick in. And we've written down something close to a quarter percentage point of extra productivity growth for 2026, but not enough to really be super disinflationary. We think that builds over time, probably takes a couple of years. And for example, if we think about some of the announcements about these data centers that are being built, where they're really going to unleash the potential of AI, those aren't going to be completed for a couple of years anyway. So, I think for now, AI is dominating the demand side of the economy. Over the next few years, it's going to be a real boost to the supply side of the economy. Serena Tang: So that makes a lot of sense to me, Seth. But can you put those into numbers? Seth Carpenter: Sure, Serena totally. In numbers, that's about 3 percent growth. A little bit more than that for global GDP growth on like a Q4-over-Q4 basis. But for the U.S. in particular, we've got about 1.75 percent. So that's not appreciably different from what we're looking for this year in 2025. But the number really, kind of, masks the evolution over time. We think the front part of the year is going to be much weaker. And only once we get into the second half of next year will things start to pick up. That said, compared to where we were when we did the midyear outlook, it's actually a notable upgrade. We've taken real signal from the fact that business spending, household spending have both been stronger than we think. And we've tried to add in just a little bit more in terms of productivity growth from AI. Layer on top of that, the Fed who's been clearly willing to start to ease interest rates sooner than we thought at the time of the mid-year outlook – all comes together for a little bit better outlook for growth for 2026 in the U.S. Serena Tang: Seth thanks so much for taking the time to talk. Seth Carpenter: Serena, it is always my pleasure to get to talk to you. Serena Tang: And thanks for listening. Please be sure to tune into the second half of our conversation tomorrow to hear how we're thinking about investment strategy in the year ahead.

Why Slow Is the New Secret Weapon for Actors The entertainment industry glorifies hustle. Fast auditions, faster turnarounds, constant pressure to keep up. But what if slowing down is the real secret to booking more roles and building a lasting career? In this episode of the Acting Business Bootcamp Podcast, I talk about the power of slow and why being intentional, grounded, and patient can make you not only a stronger performer but also a more fulfilled human being. The Myth of Hustle: Why Speed Doesn't Equal Success We've been conditioned to think that "busy" means "productive." But when we're rushing, we're not really seeing. We miss red flags, subtle opportunities, and the emotional details that make our performances alive and specific. Slow isn't lazy. Slow is strategic. When I slow down, I make choices instead of reacting. I create work that's clearer, more specific, and more emotionally grounded. That's what casting directors respond to. The Muscle of Choice: Choosing What's Uncomfortable but Effective I often talk about building your "muscle of choice." It's the ability to choose what's right for your growth, even when it doesn't feel comfortable. For actors, that might mean saying no to an overbooked schedule or pausing before hitting record on a self-tape. It's in those small, quiet moments of choice that confidence and intuition start to strengthen. Presence Books Acting Jobs One of the things I say all the time is, "Presence books acting jobs." When you slow your breath, your thoughts, and your body, you naturally drop into the moment. That's where truth lives. And that truth is what makes casting directors sit up and go, "Yes, that's it." Fast energy reads as anxious. Slower energy reads as confident and grounded. The actor who listens, pauses, and responds authentically will always stand out. From Reaction to Response: A Lesson in Mindful Acting Here's one of my favorite reminders: "A response is a reaction with a pause and a thought behind it." When you create that pause, your performances become more thoughtful, layered, and real. That same pause helps on the business side too. It gives you control over your energy instead of letting the industry run it for you. Slow Builds Longevity A fast-paced career burns out fast. A steady one grows stronger over time. I've been a professional actress since 1988. That's more than three decades of working in this business. What's sustained me isn't the hustle; it's learning how to pace myself, stay present, and take joy in the process. Slow isn't just good for your craft. It's how you create a sustainable, happy career. Practical Ways to Practice the Power of Slow Pause before you slate. Ground your breath and remind yourself that you're safe. Meditate regularly. It keeps your body calm and expressive. Work with intention. Do fewer things, but do them with care. Create safe spaces. Set up your self-tape and your mindset to help you feel at ease. Reflect often. Ask yourself, "Am I working hard, or am I working effectively?" Join "The Weekly Adjustment" If this episode resonated with you, come join my weekly mindset class, The Weekly Adjustment. You'll learn how to calm your thoughts, build confidence, and use the power of slow in every part of your acting life.

Kevin Green turns to the big headline taking up the oxygen Monday morning of a potential end to the government shutdown. While the ACA is something he sees remaining a contentious issue, SNAP funding being issued through next September offers a counterbalance of support. On the tech trade, Kevin notes TSMC's (TSM) 17% revenue growth as "slower" than past metrics but one that doesn't slow the bull run. He explains how a new phone and hardware cycle led by Apple (AAPL) offers a "margin driver" for TSMC. He also talks about Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang "threading the needle" of international relations.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

There's a shift that happens every year, somewhere between the clocks going back and the first frost. It's not sudden. It creeps in quietly. I catch myself sighing more often. Feeling a little heavier. My motivation goes a bit hazy, and everything, even the small stuff, starts to feel like a climb. I used to treat it like a glitch. Like something to push through or fix. But I've learned over the years that this isn't failure. It's winter arriving.Winter gets a bad rap. And yes, it's hard. Especially if you're juggling a lot; kids, home education, work, meals, housework, your own mental health. But it doesn't have to feel like complete survival mode. You don't have to hustle your way through it. What I've found is that the season gets easier when I stop fighting it and start working with it. I've learned to let winter be what it is, slower, quieter, darker, and shift the way I move through it accordingly.Why Rhythm Helps More Than RoutineThere's a lot of pressure in winter to “stay on track,” whatever that means. But personally? I don't respond well to rigid routines this time of year. They feel brittle. Unforgiving. What I need, what my family needs, is rhythm. Gentle anchors to hold onto when the days start to blur together.For me, that means slow, intentional starts to the day. I light a candle in the kitchen before the kettle's even boiled. I keep the fairy lights up well past December because the extra light helps more than I can explain. We make time for a walk most afternoons, even if it's a soggy loop around the block. And I try to get dinner started before the sky goes black at 4 p.m. These aren't strict rules. They're soft points of focus… things I return to that help me feel like I'm still rooted, even when my energy dips.Letting Go of Summer EnergyOne of the biggest shifts I've made is learning to stop expecting summer-level energy in winter. Because it's just not realistic; not for me, not for my kids, not for our life. Motivation in winter isn't the same buzzing, bright momentum. It's quieter. Slower. And it disappears entirely some days. I used to panic about that. I used to push harder. Now I pause.Winter is the season of compost. Of dormancy. Of everything underneath the surface doing quiet work. Trees drop their leaves. Seeds go still. Nothing blooms, but it doesn't mean nothing's happening. We don't need to constantly produce to prove we're growing. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is rest and tend to what's already here.Scaling Back to What Really MattersIt's easy to feel behind in winter, like you should be “doing more” because others are. But I've learned that winter is when I need to protect my energy most. I don't try to keep up. I cut back. I give myself permission to simplify everything. Home education slows down. Our meals become less experimental, more familiar. Our calendar empties out a bit. We focus on what's essential and let the rest wait.And when I say we slow down, I don't mean we stop living. I just mean we don't try to stretch beyond what we have to give. We aim for depth, not breadth. We give ourselves grace. That's the rhythm that gets us through.Nature Is Still There - Even in the GreyThe hardest part of winter, sometimes, is feeling stuck inside. But getting outside, even for ten minutes, always helps. Always. I never want to go. And I never regret it. Even just standing on the balcony with a cup of tea or walking the dog down the same road I've walked all year... it shifts something.Nature's quieter in winter, but it's not gone. The bare trees, the cold air, the stubborn little birds that still show up, they remind me that stillness isn't emptiness. It's rest. It's recalibration.Food as Grounding, Not Just FuelThe other thing that holds me together in winter? Food. And not in a performative, Instagrammable way. Just simple, warm, seasonal food that grounds me in the present moment.Porridge. Thick soups. Crumbles. Casseroles. Roasted roots. Meals that warm the kitchen and make the whole flat smell like care. This isn't just about nourishment. It's about rhythm. About comfort. About whispering to my nervous system, “You're okay. You're safe. You're held.”Little Joys Are Not OptionalI've stopped waiting for the “big” joy. Winter doesn't hand it out easily. So I look for the small stuff and I let that be enough.These things matter. They're not silly. They're survival.If you feel slower, heavier, less focused… that doesn't mean you're failing. It means your body is responding to the season. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're just wintering.And wintering doesn't mean giving up. It means adapting. It means listening. It means doing what matters and letting that be enough. You don't need to be full of energy. You don't need to stay “productive.” You just need to stay rooted.This Is the Season to Loosen Your GripYou don't have to thrive in winter.You just have to keep going; gently, slowly, at your own pace.That is more than enough.And here's the truth I come back to again and again: even here, in the dark, you're still growing.It just looks different.Let it.

We're Back! Season 2 Kickoff + Life Lately Catch-Up We're back, friends! After an unplanned (but very needed) break, we're so excited to be jumping into Season 2. In this catch-up episode, we're taking you behind the scenes of where we've been, what's been going on in our lives, and why hitting pause was actually the healthiest thing we could've done—for ourselves, our families, and this podcast. From quiet celebrations and major life shifts to slow summers, big feelings, family news, and homeschool chaos—we're covering it all. We're sharing real, honest updates about divorce, parenting, new rhythms, pregnancy complications, career changes, and even a cat obsession that may or may not be driving us up the wall. It's raw, lighthearted, emotional, and full of the good stuff that comes with growth. Timeline Summary: [0:35] - Why we took a break and learning to practice what we preach [2:10] - Navigating divorce, burnout, and the power of pausing [3:48] - Graduation celebrations and making space for big transitions [5:24] - Slower summer rhythms and processing deep emotions [7:02] - Family trips, Disney magic, and announcing a new baby on the way [9:20] - Pregnancy complications, irritable uterus woes, and adapting to new limitations [12:12] - Homeschool chaos, cat obsessions, and looking ahead to Season 2 Closing Thoughts: Thanks for sticking with us. We're so thrilled to kick off Season 2 and can't wait to bring you more conversations, stories, and guests in the coming weeks. If you loved this episode (or just missed us a little), don't forget to follow, rate, share, and leave us a review. See you next week!

In this episode, Gina is joined by Naturopathic Doctor Paul Hrkal for a straight-up conversation about why the scale might not be moving—even when you're doing all the things. It's Week 5 of the program, a pivotal point where most people start to see movement, but for those who don't, there could be deeper reasons. Together, they unpack four major culprits: inflammation, food sensitivities, gut health, and hormones (including menopause). Dr. Paul explains how these internal factors could be stalling your progress and what to look out for, from subtle signs to testable markers. Whether you're in your first round or have done the program before, this one's a must-listen if you feel stuck or suspect something more is going on behind the scenes.Where to find Dr. Paul:Instagram: @drpaulhrkalwww.paulhrkalnd.com If you are in the Fall 2025 Support Group, you can check out the full video here:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodfall2025To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—John Fontenot has spent a decade in tech, working initially in software partnerships for Intel's Software and Services Group where he was first introduced to the role of product management. In 2018 John made a pivot into a role as a UX Researcher to get his foot in the door of a product team for a small HRTech SaaS company and hasn't looked back. John has worked in a variety of Sr. IC product manager roles, Director and Group Product Manager roles, and is now serving as VP of Product Management for Terlumina, an Enterprise SaaS startup focused on healthcare compliance management. John also runs a program called Path2Product where he helps aspiring PMs transition into their first product management role. John is a huge proponent and student of UX Research and truly believes that good product management can't be done well without it.In our conversation, we discuss:* What “scrappy” product research really means and when it crosses the line into chaos.* Why PMs can (and should) learn research basics when they don't have a dedicated partner.* How to build trust with researchers without stepping on their toes.* Creative recruitment strategies when incentives aren't an option—and what that reveals about product-market fit.* The case against paying customers for interviews, and how to make people want to talk to you.Some takeaways:* Scrappy research isn't an excuse to be sloppy. Scrappy doesn't mean fast for the sake of speed, it means smart, efficient, and focused on risk. John outlines how some decisions call for deep, strategic research, especially when millions are on the line, while others don't need to be tested to death. The key is knowing the stakes and picking the right level of investment. Scrappy research works best when it's intentional, not reactionary.* John shares creative ways to reach users without incentives, like turning idea boards into interview leads or mining Facebook groups and Slack communities for warm outreach. In regulated industries where payments aren't allowed, trust and thoughtful messaging become even more important. The best outreach comes from doing your homework, if you know what people care about, they'll usually talk. Payment can create a transactional mindset; genuine interest creates better conversations.* With researchers often outnumbered 10 to 1, it's unrealistic to gatekeep all research tasks. But that doesn't mean PMs or designers should bulldoze their way in. John advocates for shared ownership with clear boundaries, where non-researchers offer support, not competition, by helping with smaller usability tasks or contributing to recruitment. Trust is built by asking first, showing competence, and being open to feedback.* Recruitment speed isn't always the goal. Paying for participants might help with speed, but it can muddy your insight quality. If no one wants to talk about the feature you're testing, that might be a signal it's not worth building. Slower recruitment through organic methods forces you to get sharper on messaging, segmentation, and whether the problem actually matters.* John argues that researchers are most valuable when they go beyond testing buttons and start shaping product direction. Researchers who understand business priorities and speak the language of product are better able to influence decisions. Likewise, PMs who understand research can spot poor methods and ask sharper questions. Everyone benefits when the team invests in learning across roles and when researchers step confidently into strategic conversations.Where to find John:* Website* LinkedIn* Blog* Why you should never pay for customer interviewsStop piecing it together.

In a world that often rewards speed, performance, and perfection, what happens when we get gifted a moment to pause? Meet our guest this week on The Purpose Map™️ with Casey Berglund — Liana Grieg. Liana may joke about being in her “big country bumpkin era,” but beneath that playfulness lies a return to what matters — a reconnection in this slower season of life. As co-founder of Juno House Club in Barcelona, she's been part of building more than just a space — it's a sanctuary for women, weaving together wellness, creativity, and community. And now, her role is shifting. Her story isn't just about smoothie bowls, yoga, or the creation of Juno House Club. It's about the bigger evolution of entrepreneurship. About how food, philosophy, and the spaces we choose to belong to can transform not only our bodies and businesses, but our very way of being. In this conversation, we explore: How slow living, seasonal food, and homemade rituals support wellness and creativity The journey from competitive athletics to yoga, and what embodiment actually feels like The founding vision behind Juno House Club — and why feminine leadership looks different Why environment is everything — from nervous system safety to community connection What it really takes to grow a soul-aligned business (and life) without burning out This episode is a gentle yet potent reminder that the way we live, nourish ourselves, and create space — physically and energetically — matters. Liana's grounded wisdom and lived experience will leave you reflecting on your own rhythms, rituals, and what it means to belong. Take a moment, settle in, and enjoy this beautiful conversation.

Today on Inspire + Move, I was inspired by a recent energy healing session and the wave of emotions that followed hosting the fifth and final Women Inspiring Women event. In this episode I dive into the feeling of tension between staying in high-performance hustle mode, while knowing deep down that you need to slow down. I'm sharing what's on my heart as I navigate grief, growth, and the deep inner work of softening. From packed seasons, to quiet moments, I'm looking into what this next chapter is asking of me, and maybe you can find answers from this too!Tune in to hear more about:• Why embracing yin energy and slowing down is a powerful act of growth.• How grief and loss can open space for clarity, reflection, and new beginnings.• Creating non-negotiables in your routine while still making space for softness.• Practices I'm implementing to calm my nervous system and restore balance.Whether you're in a sprint season or being called to move slower, I hope this encourages you to check in with your energy, get honest about what you need, and give yourself grace to evolve. I would love to know how you are slowing down this season and what that looks like for you over on IG at @AlliArruda!Mentioned: Book: Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy https://amzn.to/3IXLKqJGut Personal Sleepy Mocktail: https://collabs.shop/geqrwuGloci link: https://getgloci.com Upcoming Events: GIRLFRIENDS WALKS are back!Next Walk:• Oakville, Monday October 6th!It's more than a walk—it's an opportunity to build authentic connections, meet like-minded women, and even spark collaborations or new business opportunities.

 Speed & EfficiencyAI Underwriting:Processes applications in seconds to minutes.1.Can instantly pull data from multiple sources (credit reports, bank statements, income verification, property valuations, etc.).Ideal for high-volume, standardized cases.Human Underwriter:Takes hours to days, depending on complexity.Manually reviews documents, contacts third parties, and applies professional judgment.Slower, especially for complex or edge cases.2. Data HandlingAI:Uses algorithms and machine learning to analyze massive datasets.Can detect patterns humans might miss (e.g., spending behavior, alternative data like utility payments, even digital footprints in some markets).Human:Relies on traditional documentation (pay stubs, tax returns, appraisals).Limited by human bandwidth—can't process as much raw data at once.3. Consistency & BiasAI:Decisions are consistent with its rules and training data.However, if the data it's trained on is biased, the system can replicate or even amplify those biases.Human:Brings subjective judgment. Can weigh special circumstances that don't fit a neat rule.Risk of inconsistency—two underwriters might interpret the same file differently.May have unconscious bias, but also flexibility to override rigid criteria.4. Risk AssessmentAI:Excels at quantifiable risks (credit scores, loan-to-value ratios, historical claim data).Weak at unstructured or nuanced factors (e.g., a borrower with an unusual income stream, or a claim with unclear circumstances).Human:Strong at contextual judgment—understanding unique borrower situations, exceptions, or “gray areas.”Can pick up on red flags that an algorithm might miss (e.g., forged documents, conflicting information).5. Regulation & AccountabilityAI:Regulators are still catching up. Requires transparency in decision-making (explainable AI).Hard to appeal an AI decision if it can't explain its reasoning clearly.Human:Provides a clear chain of accountability—borrower can request explanations or escalate.Easier for compliance teams to audit decision-making.6. Cost & ScalabilityAI:Scales cheaply—one system can process thousands of applications simultaneously.Lower ongoing labor costs once implemented.Human:Labor-intensive, costs grow with volume.Better suited for complex, high-value, or unusual cases rather than mass processing.✅ Bottom line:AI underwriting is best for speed, scale, and straightforward cases.Human underwriters are best for nuanced judgment, exceptions, and handling edge cases.Most modern institutions use a hybrid model: AI handles the bulk of simple files, while humans step in for complex or flagged cases.tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogdidier malagies nmls#212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin coach four Pump Heads via Zoom. Mind Pump Fit Tip: 5 Proven Ways to Age SLOWER. (1:43) The older you get the faster you age. (28:25) Would you trade wisdom to go back 10 years? (30:00) Roasting a “puke” trainer. (33:42) The EXPLOSION of the peptide market. (37:25) Will AI replace doctors? (43:37) A product SO good, it ruined that whole category for you. (51:51) Pink Pony Club. (53:29) #Quah question #1 – Should you add more weight or do more reps? (59:06) #Quah question #2 – I've heard you guys say protein is hit or miss daily, it's not a weekly average. Why? If I hit 150G one day, 250G the next, for an average of 200G per day, why does that not work? (1:04:21) #Quah question #3 – I keep seeing that taking Baking Soda before you work out will give you bigger pumps. Is there any truth to this? I'm worried instead of getting bigger pumps it's going to be bigger dumps. (1:06:25) #Quah question #4 – Any tips for hitting all heads of the triceps when behind-the-neck movements cause elbow pain/discomfort? I don't think it's a mobility issue, since the pain is at the flexion point, not when having hands behind the head.
