Podcasts about slows

The U.S. economy grew more slowly than expected in the second quarter of 2026, but the headline doesn't tell the whole story. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest GDP report, why AI investment is reshaping the economy, what strong consumer spending says about the health of the market, and why real estate investors should keep a close eye on inflation, interest rates, and housing activity in the months ahead.   Get your free PDF at www.Realwealth.com/MoneyBooks.   Source: https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/30/business/us-economy-growth-weaker-gdp

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups.

Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Connor Lokar breaks down the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady and why Chairman Kevin Warsh says it's time for markets to "play the ball, not the referee." As businesses continue navigating inflation uncertainty, slowing economic growth, and pressure on consumers, what should leaders actually be paying attention to? Connor explains why the Fed is stepping back from forward guidance, what recent GDP data signals about the economy, and what to watch as we head into the fall. Are markets focused on the right signals, or are they paying too much attention to every word from the Fed?

BUFFALO, NY — July 27, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 13, 2026, titled “Slowing intervertebral disc aging in mice through long-term systemic treatment with the senolytic BCL-2/BCL-xL proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) 753b.” The study was led by first author Peter G. Alexander from the Ferguson Laboratory for Spine Research, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and corresponding author Nam Viet Vo from the same institution. Intervertebral disc degeneration is a leading cause of chronic low back pain and disability. As discs age, they lose important structural components, become less able to absorb mechanical stress, and accumulate senescent cells—dysfunctional cells that stop dividing but continue releasing inflammatory molecules that contribute to tissue degeneration. Senolytic therapies, which selectively eliminate these cells, have emerged as a promising strategy to slow age-related diseases. In this study, researchers evaluated PROTAC 753b, a next-generation senolytic designed to target the anti-apoptotic proteins BCL-2 and BCL-xL while reducing the platelet toxicity associated with earlier drugs in this class. The researchers treated 16-month-old male and female mice with PROTAC 753b for six months and evaluated their intervertebral discs at 22 months of age using histology, molecular analyses, and measurements of inflammatory markers. The treatment significantly improved several measures of intervertebral disc health in aged male mice, preserving the extracellular matrix protein aggrecan and reducing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated aggrecan breakdown, a hallmark of disc degeneration. In contrast, female mice showed little overall improvement, revealing a sex-specific response to treatment.

Halloween Horror Nights is bringing Fortnitemares to both its US events this fall, a scare zone modeled on the game's annual in-game Halloween event, complete with the Battle Bus and a few HHN-exclusive additions. Fortnite is the most-played console game in the United States, with more than 650 million lifetime registered players, a brand larger than the event hosting it. The creative objection is the weakest one, since Fortnitemares is already a Halloween event. The harder questions are operational: this targets the same young demographic behind teen takeovers, in a scare zone with no line to control. Success comes down to balancing three brands at once, enough Fortnite, enough Halloween, and enough Universal.Meanwhile, Universal's theme parks grew revenue 2.7% in the second quarter while segment EBITDA fell 5.1%, the first decline since Epic Universe opened. Orlando attendance softened in June and stayed pressured into July, with management pointing to fuel prices and consumer sentiment. Guests who come are spending, but fewer are coming, and Epic itself is still delivering. The response is a Halloween bet: a 48-night Horror Nights run starting August 28, Universal Nights in October, and Epic passholder discounts up to 40%. We've argued summer is becoming the industry's new shoulder season, and this quarter shows why. Summer sells the core product alone, while fall sells the same core plus the seasonal overlay on one ticket. Tokyo Disney raising its top price for October and Six Flags flash-selling $35 summer tickets point the same direction.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

In this episode the guys break down five ways to run for fitness — for distance, same distance for time, same time for more distance, sprinting, and running for fun. Sal shares that he ran his first mile this morning for the first time in years and how humbling it was. They also get into the story behind Sylvester Stallone writing Rocky in three days with $100 in his bank account after watching Chuck Wepner vs Muhammad Ali, Italian dialects and how Mussolini unified them, the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak in US lettuce, the liver die-off effect and why people feel worse before they feel better when treating parasites, the GATE gifted program conspiracy theory and the Mall World dream phenomenon, and Joymode's Hard Plus compounds and what the studies show. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Kelly from Texas on anterior pelvic tilt and glute activation six months postpartum, Nicky from Ontario on a 90-day check-in showing dramatic mood, libido and energy improvements after anorexia recovery coaching, Jeremy from Indiana on physique competition prep strategy at 51, and Amanda from Indiana navigating the GLP-1 off-ramp and reverse diet while managing binge tendencies.   MAPS Upper Lower: https://mapsupperlower.com Code: LAUNCH for 40% off.

Russell and Madeline interview Justin Levitch the owner of RLAH @properties and talk about the slowing market conditions.

Everyone says August is quiet. Most people believe them. Most people go quiet. And then they point to the quiet as proof that it's true.But what if the quiet isn't evidence that August doesn't work. What if it's just evidence that everyone stopped showing up.In this episode of Simple Business Dream Life I'm making the case for August. Not as a month to survive. As one of the biggest opportunities in your business year. And I've got 2 years of real results to back it up.In this episode I cover:Where the August is quiet belief actually comes from and why it's a self fulfilling prophecyWhy it's absolutely okay to slow down if that's what you need and how to know if it's a choice or a defaultThe empty playing field theory and why less noise means more cut through for the people who show upWhy August buyers are actually in a different and more ready headspace than you thinkMy 2024 story. A happy accident, a 50th birthday and nearly £10k in unplanned revenueWhat 2025 taught me about showing up simply and consistently and why it still workedWhat Organised Chaos is and why this year I'm going bigger than everWhy September is won in August and what that means for you right nowThis episode is for you if you've already mentally written August off. If you assume it'll be quiet so you slow down without really deciding to. If you want to keep going but don't know if it's worth it. If you dread the summer slump and want to do something about it.August is not quiet. It's an empty playing field. And empty playing fields are an opportunity not a problem.Key TakeawaysThe August quiet is a self fulfilling prophecy created by the people who believe itAugust isn't a quiet month for buyers. It's a quiet month for sellers. Those are completely different thingsWhether you go all in or laser focus on one thing both work. As long as you actually show upThe people who keep going in August hit September already warm, visible and 3 steps aheadSeptember is won in August. The decision gets made right nowMentioned in this episodeBehind the scenes of Organised Chaos.

While GM's low valuation and buyback program may appeal to investors, Swan argues the company's moves into defense and AI could be distracting from its core automotive business at a critical time.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

The episode addressed the heightened challenges MSPs and IT service providers face in client acquisition, with specific reference to a recent Kaseya report indicating that twice as many MSPs describe obtaining new clients as more difficult compared to the previous year. This shift is attributed, in part, to changes in marketing efficacy and the increased reliance on referrals rather than structured marketing strategies. These findings emphasize the need for a consistent, proactive marketing approach—moving beyond informal networks—to counteract periods of slow business and ensure stable revenue. Discussion highlighted that many MSPs lack a formalized marketing plan and treat the absence of active marketing as a matter of pride, despite clear evidence that consistent marketing activities are essential for growth and resilience. According to James Kernan, "marketing is the oxygen of your business," and its absence correlates directly with reduced new business opportunities. Strategies such as recurring in-person or online engagement with clients, regular assessment of marketing practices, and leveraging written marketing plans were identified as actionable recommendations for sustaining pipeline health. A secondary focus examined operational risk and opportunity related to "shadow AI"—unauthorized or unmanaged use of AI tools by clients' staff. Amy Babinchak detailed three core risks: accidental exposure of confidential data, violation of contracts or regulatory requirements, and a lack of auditable records for actions taken by shadow AI tools. The discussion identified practical risk mitigation steps, including staff education, policy development, and implementation of monitoring tools, all of which represent billable opportunities for MSPs while reducing downstream liability in the event of a breach. For technology service providers and decision-makers, the episode underscores the operational imperative of formal, consistent marketing—even during slow periods—as well as the need for vigilant governance over emerging technology risk vectors such as shadow AI. By proactively engaging clients through both marketing and risk education, MSPs can better protect their businesses while expanding stable, recurring revenue streams rooted in demonstrable expertise and accountable service delivery.Title:   How do I get more business when it's slow?

A rise in BHP shares and a record for Macquarie helped to push the Australian sharemarket 0.4 per cent higher as inflation in the US eased while China's economy slowed.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the conflict between the US and Iran shows no sign of easing as they exchange another round of strikes. The latest American attacks targeted Iran's military infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran launched strikes on US-linked sites in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. We also examine the growing effects of the escalation on global shipping as only a handful of vessels sail through the strait. UAE Minister of State Lana Nusseibeh tells The National that diplomacy remains the best path to reopening one of the world's most important trade routes. We also look at efforts to reduce the region's reliance on the waterway, as the US backs plans to revive the Iraq-Syria oil pipeline and President Donald Trump signals major energy deals with Baghdad. In Rome, Lebanese and Israeli negotiators take part in US-backed talks aimed at implementing last month's ceasefire. Disagreements over "pilot zones" in southern Lebanon remain at the centre of discussions. And Abu Dhabi's 2PointZero strengthens its global energy ambitions with a $2.25 billion acquisition of a major US natural gas company, expanding its presence in one of the world's largest energy markets.

Aside from a handful of high-profile deals, merger and acquisition activity in the US oil and gas sector has been tepid in recent months even as war in the Middle East pushed oil prices to multi-year highs. In this episode, S&P Global Energy's Christopher van Moessner, editor, oil futures, is joined by Americas news editor Ashok Dutta and senior reporter Eamonn Brennan to discuss the outlook for M&A activity in the sector and how it has been impacted by a White House that from the start has positioned itself as pro-oil. They dig into how the administration's deregulation efforts have so far failed to manifest in a wave of oil and gas dealmaking that has been seen in other industries, and how capex discipline and general price uncertainty have presented headwinds to M&A activity in the sector. 

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The US military struck Iran for the second straight day, an escalation of violence that threatens to strain an already fragile ceasefire. The attacks came just hours after President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Turkey said the US would probably target Iran again. The US launched attacks on Tuesday and revoked a waiver allowing new sales of Iranian oil in response to attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz that the administration blamed on the Islamic Republic. Oil extended its gains. We spoke to Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg's Asia Energy Team Leader. Plus - China's consumer prices rose slower than expected and factory inflation showed signs of peaking, after a pullback in commodity costs with an easing of tensions over Iran last month. The consumer-price index decelerated to 1% in June from a year earlier, compared with a gain of 1.2% in the previous month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists was 1.1%. Producer inflation accelerated slightly to 4.1% from a year ago, matching forecasts. On a month-on-month basis, factory prices declined 0.3% from May, their first drop since July 2025. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong spoke to Robin Xing, Chief China Economist at Morgan Stanley. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 4 in full

The June jobs report came in weaker than expected, giving investors reason to believe the Federal Reserve may have less pressure to raise interest rates even as inflation remains a major concern.Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti break down why job growth slowed sharply in June, why the unemployment rate fell for a less encouraging reason, and how the latest labor market data could affect Kevin Warsh's Fed. They also discuss Anthropic's AI model controversy, why China's latest AI advances complicate U.S. regulation, how powerful cybersecurity tools could create major risks for the financial system, what new Trump accounts mean for families saving for children, and why Michael Burry is warning again about the AI trade.

The U.S. economy added just 57,000 jobs in June, far fewer than economists expected, while April and May payroll gains were revised downward. Economists say the unemployment rate fell in part because more people left the workforce, while Black unemployment remained elevated.

Many people are told their elevated cholesterol and LDL levels are simply the result of diet, lack of exercise, or genetics. But what if rising cholesterol is actually a clue that thyroid physiology is slowing down? In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains the important relationship between thyroid signaling, T4 to T3 conversion, cellular metabolism, liver function, bile production, and cholesterol regulation. He discusses why cholesterol is essential for health, how the body produces and uses it, and why elevated cholesterol may be a sign that the body is struggling to convert food energy into cellular energy efficiently. Dr. Balcavage breaks down several mechanisms by which reduced thyroid signaling may contribute to elevated cholesterol and LDL levels, including decreased T4 to T3 conversion, impaired cholesterol transport, reduced LDL receptor activity, diminished bile production, and impaired bile flow. He also explains why simply lowering cholesterol with medication may not address the underlying physiologic stressors driving these changes. If you've been told your cholesterol is high despite eating well, exercising regularly, and doing all the "right" things, this episode explores why it may be time to look deeper at thyroid physiology, cellular metabolism, inflammation, liver function, and the body's adaptive stress response. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why cholesterol is essential for hormone production, cell membranes, vitamin D production, brain health, and bile formation How reduced T4 to T3 conversion can contribute to elevated cholesterol and LDL levels The critical role T3 plays in liver function, cholesterol transport, and bile production Why cholesterol may rise even when diet and exercise habits are healthy How impaired bile flow and gallbladder function can affect cholesterol clearance Why elevated cholesterol may be a sign of reduced thyroid signaling rather than simply a dietary problem The lab markers Dr. Balcavage uses to assess thyroid physiology, inflammation, metabolism, and cholesterol regulation Why addressing cellular stress and adaptive physiology is often more important than simply lowering cholesterol numbers Resources Mentioned:

#355: Picture your engineering team a year from now. A coding agent doing the coding. A testing agent on tests. A security agent on security. An infrastructure agent on infrastructure. All of them wired into GitHub and Jira, all of them working right alongside the humans. Not science fiction either - Atlassian and GitHub are already shipping these features. So out come the stats everyone loves to quote. AI code introduces 1.7 times more issues. Half of it ships with security holes. Code duplication is through the roof. AI-assisted PRs take four to five times longer to review. The response to most of it: so what? If you have a way to detect the issue and feed it back, that is just the SDLC doing its job. Couldn't care less if it is 1.7x or 50x more issues - what matters is what is left at the end, per feature shipped. Security holes? You have scanners. Detect, fix, ship. The only real problem is when you skip the detection or sit on the fix for months, and that has nothing to do with AI. Here is the one stat that actually sticks: PR reviews backing up. Speed up coding and leave everything downstream at human speed, and you have not sped up delivery - you have just moved the pile from Jira tickets to pull requests. The review pipeline was built for human speed, and now it is the bottleneck. The blunt fix: stop letting AI write 10,000-line PRs, work in smaller chunks, and accept that the job is about to get mentally harder. Delegate the tedious work and what is left is the demanding work - architecture, taste, is this even the feature we should ship. The silly stuff, does every function have a comment, is it camel case, goes to the machine. Spend your time there and you are wasting your talent. Offshoring never worked when the only goal was cheaper - chase the cheapest engineers, then chase even cheaper ones, and you end up dragging the work back in house. Same trap with AI. Offshore to Opus, then Sonnet, then Haiku, then Llama on a laptop. If cheaper is your primary motivation, you are doing it wrong. The win is qualitative, not the price tag. Where does it land? Three people per product, end to end - frontend, backend, database, deployments. Augmented at every stage, not autonomous. A human still pushes the final button to prod, the way you never let a Jenkins pipeline deploy straight to production without a check. Full autonomy is coming the way self-driving cars came: not in a year, not everywhere at once, and not by flipping it on at 4pm on a Friday. Even when the technology is ready, you are not. And if you think none of this touches your job, there is a story here about a textile factory built in the eighties that ran on five people. Knowledge work is next. The only exception is a monopoly, and you probably do not have one.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Joan Tafoya joins Jamie Flinchbaugh on People Solve Problems for a conversation built around one deceptively simple question: how do you coach problem solving when the person in front of you is difficult to coach? Joan, a former director at Meta, Intel, and Sandia National Laboratories with nearly 38 years of experience, brings a perspective shaped by leading large, globally dispersed teams and by watching problem-solving succeed and fail at scale. Joan opens by describing her own growth as a leader. In her early years as an engineer and manager, she was focused on results and often grew frustrated when people did not solve problems the way she would have. Over time, she recognized that she could not advance until she taught others to think differently, not to think like her, but to think more deliberately about problem-solving itself. She points to a turning point while running a manufacturing line at Intel, where a constant stream of people asking for the next step left her burning out. The shift she made was to narrate her own thinking out loud so others could follow it, and to ask people what they were thinking rather than supplying every answer. That experience leads to one of the central themes of the episode. Joan is honest that her move toward coaching began partly as self-preservation, but she came to see it as something larger. She realized her team did not always share the same picture of success, and that alignment on both the problem and the desired outcome mattered as much as effort. Coaching, in her telling, became the way to build a group of trusted people who could carry the work forward and free her to take on new challenges. Joan also reflects on the challenge of coaching highly credentialed experts. At Sandia National Laboratories, she built a department focused on lean and problem-solving practices in an environment where nearly everyone held a PhD. Rather than pretending to match their technical depth, she earned credibility by listening carefully, reflecting what she heard, and asking sharper questions, especially about the knowledge gaps standing between the team and its next breakthrough. Prioritization is another area Joan explores in depth. Drawing on her time at Meta, she describes a culture that was learning to balance speed with reliability. Her first prioritization question is not whether a problem is important but whether her team is the one best suited to solve it. She warns against the instinct to swarm every visible problem, comparing it to a kindergarten soccer team chasing the ball. She also looks for quick wins that build momentum and morale without draining resources from larger work. On ideation, Joan emphasizes starting with clarity. She often opens sessions with a silent exercise in which everyone writes down the problem statement and what success would look like, which surfaces a wider range of views and avoids groupthink. She values bringing contrarians into the room, while noting that a contrarian works best when given clear expectations about how to contribute rather than simply being allowed to push back. Joan closes with advice for young engineers hoping to lead in fast-paced, demanding environments. She believes people grow most while they are struggling and pushing past what feels comfortable, and she encourages giving yourself grace during those stretches while still choosing to step into the discomfort. It is a fitting end to a conversation that treats problem-solving as something every person can learn and every leader can nurture.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports deaths from the Congo Ebola outbreak are rising, as internal issues slow the medical response.

Can lifting weights slow how fast your brain ages?A new study used brain scans to measure exactly that. The results show that resistance training is a uniquely beneficial tool for brain health that works through different pathways than cardio.Lifting weights can make the brain test younger on functional MRI, and the benefits may keep compounding even long after you train. Learn what brain age measures, why the prefrontal cortex matters for Alzheimer's and cognitive aging, the muscle-to-brain signaling system activated by strength training, and how heavy lifting compares to moderate intensity for protecting the brain after 40. Plus a quick self-check for strength-related dementia risk, especially after 40. Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to lift heavy, build muscle, lose fat, and stay strong and sharp for decades. Timestamps:0:00 - Lifting weights and brain aging 0:47 - Dementia risk and strength training over 40 3:58 - Aerobic exercise and the hippocampus 6:00 - Prefrontal cortex and muscle signaling 7:48 - Recent study and brain age scans 10:21 - Brain age gap and dementia risk 11:30 - Results across both lifting intensities 13:12 - Myokines, irisin, and BDNF 16:57 - How to build skills for lifting weights 18:30 - Lifting protocol for brain health 20:45 - Entry points for new lifters 24:15 - Grip strength and dementia risk

This "bigness" often slows innovation, leading geniuses like Mustafa Suleyman to leave DeepMind at Google to found independent ventures like Inflection. However, the staggering cost of GPUs and computing power often pulls these startups back into the orbit of trillion-dollar corporations. For example, Suleyman eventually moved Inflection to Microsoft to leverage their near-bottomless cash reserves. This dynamic ensures that only the wealthiest companies with massive reach can truly compete in the expensive race for generative AI supremacy. (5/8)1905 LA
