The single biggest mistake runners make isn't about shoes, diet, or mileage. It's running every single day in the one zone that guarantees burnout.What if everything you thought about "moderate effort" running was backwards? Most runners are confused about the grey zone because it feels productive but rarely delivers results. In this episode, I break down what the grey zone actually is, why it leaves so many people feeling stuck, and how to tell when it's helping versus hurting your training. I walk through simple ways to spot it, explain why it's often called “junk” work, and show how to use it intentionally without burning yourself out. If you want to feel fresher, train smarter, and finally understand where your effort should go, this episode gives you the clarity to do that.Key TakeawaysThe grey zone is not a bad pace by itself, but it becomes a problem when it turns into your default for every run. When that happens, you stay tired without getting fitter.Easy runs should feel truly easy, and hard days should feel clearly hard. The progress comes from separating those efforts instead of living in the middle.Grey zone works best when it's used on purpose for specific goals like marathon pace or tempo work. It should support your training, not quietly take it over.Timestamps[00:24] What You'll Learn[01:10] What Is It and How to Spot The Grey Zone[03:43] Why People Call It Junk and Why That's Wrong[05:38] How To Use The Grey Zone In a Smart Way[06:22] Use This to Run In The Grey Zone[06:43] When To Use (And Avoid) Grey Zone[08:27] Check If You're In The Grey Zone[09:36] Use This To Build Your Base Before Building Your Grey ZoneLinks & Learnings

Jeremy Keil explains the top 3 tax efficient strategies for charitable giving in 2025. Most people give to charity because it's meaningful to them — not because of the tax break. And that's the right mindset. But if you're already giving, it makes sense to be intentional and structure that giving in a way that helps you keep more of your hard-earned money. In this episode of Retire Today, I walk through the top three charitable giving strategies for 2025, especially in light of new tax rules taking effect in 2026 and important changes already happening this year. With only a limited window left before year-end, now is the time to understand your options. The key is planning — not reacting in April. Why 2025 Is a Unique Giving Year Late in the year, you usually have a clear picture of your income and tax bracket. That makes it the perfect time to decide when and how to give. With upcoming changes like: A new 0.5% AGI floor on charitable deductions starting in 2026 A cap on the value of deductions for high earners A higher SALT deduction limit already in effect 2025 offers an opportunity to be proactive instead of passive. Depending on your income, it may make sense to pull future giving forward — or delay certain gifts until next year. But that decision should be made intentionally, not by default. Strategy #1: Bunch Your Charitable Deductions Bunching means combining multiple years of charitable giving into a single tax year to exceed the standard deduction and unlock itemized deductions. For example, if you normally give $10,000 per year to charity but don't itemize, you may get no tax benefit at all. But by contributing two to four years of giving in one year, you may be able to itemize and deduct the full amount. The most effective way to do this is through a donor-advised fund (DAF). A DAF lets you: Take the tax deduction now Give to charities later, on your preferred schedule Keep your giving consistent for the organizations you support This separates the timing of your tax deduction from the timing of your charitable gifts — a powerful planning tool when income fluctuates. Strategy #2: Donate Appreciated Investments Instead of Cash One of the most tax-efficient ways to give is donating long-term appreciated investments from a taxable brokerage account. When you sell an investment that has gone up in value, you owe capital gains tax. When you donate that same investment directly to charity (or to a donor-advised fund), you: Avoid paying capital gains tax Receive a charitable deduction for the full market value Remove a concentrated position from your portfolio This strategy is especially effective after strong market years like 2023, 2024, and 2025, when many investors are sitting on significant unrealized gains. To qualify, the investment must be held for more than one year (long-term capital gain). Many custodians automatically select the most tax-efficient shares when processing these donations, making the strategy easier to implement than most people expect. Strategy #3: Use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) For those age 70½ or older, Qualified Charitable Distributions are often the most powerful giving strategy available. A QCD allows you to send money directly from your traditional IRA to a qualified charity. That money: Never shows up as taxable income Can satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (once applicable) Reduces future RMDs by shrinking your IRA balance Many retirees make the mistake of taking IRA withdrawals, depositing the money into checking, and then writing checks to charity. That approach often increases taxable income, affects Social Security taxation, and can raise Medicare premiums — even if a charitable deduction is available. QCDs avoid those issues entirely by keeping the income off your tax return in the first place. Even if you're not yet subject to RMDs, starting QCDs early can still make sense if part of your regular spending includes charitable giving. Putting It All Together These three strategies often work best in combination: Use donor-advised funds to bunch deductions Fund those DAFs with appreciated investments Use QCDs once you reach age 70½ But none of this should be done blindly. The right approach depends on: Your income this year and next Whether you itemize or take the standard deduction Your charitable goals Your long-term retirement and tax plan The most important step is projecting your tax situation before the year ends and making decisions on purpose — not by default.

From AM Radios to Artificial Intelligence: Lessons on Adapting to Technological Change with Kevin SuraceIn this episode, host Josh Elledge sits down with Kevin Surace—keynote speaker, futurist, inventor, and serial entrepreneur—to explore the evolution of technology from AM radios to artificial intelligence. Kevin blends nostalgia for classic tech with practical, forward-thinking insights on AI adoption, prompting listeners to consider how curiosity, thoughtful engagement, and strategic use of new tools can shape the future of work and creativity. This blog distills the episode's key lessons, offering actionable guidance for anyone navigating the rapidly shifting AI landscape.Navigating the Evolution of Technology and AI AdoptionKevin opens the conversation by sharing his childhood fascination with AM radios—a hands-on era of tuning, scanning, listening, and learning. He draws parallels between the deep engagement of early radio culture and the modern world of content creation, emphasizing that authenticity and curiosity remain timeless principles. The discussion shifts to artificial intelligence, where Kevin explains that while AGI remains a debated milestone, today's AI models already surpass human capabilities across many domains, much like Excel automated complex math decades ago.He stresses that success with AI begins with crafting thoughtful inputs: detailed prompts, clearly expressed opinions, and iterative refinement. Rather than replacing human intelligence, AI amplifies it—freeing people to focus on judgment, creativity, and strategy. Kevin also breaks down the importance of choosing the right model for the task, noting that different models (Gemini, GPT-5, Claude, Perplexity, Grok) specialize in different strengths, and users should experiment widely.The episode closes with a practical discussion on AI adoption in the workplace. Kevin highlights the gap between awareness and action inside organizations—only about 2% of non-tech companies are meaningfully using AI—and explains why leadership must champion an “AI-first” mindset. He encourages individuals to experiment independently, share wins, and use AI as a collaborator rather than a shortcut, ensuring thinking and insight remain at the center of the process.About Kevin SuraceKevin Surace is a distinguished keynote speaker, futurist, and inventor with over 95 patents. Known for his thought leadership on AI, innovation, and the future of work, Kevin has founded multiple companies and advises organizations on adopting emerging technologies responsibly and effectively.

Matt leads the marketplace at right side up. Matt has over 12 years of selling experience. He's launched and sold multiple personal brands, all starting from a retail arbitrage budget. Four years ago, he started an agency right Side up to help high growth CPG brands focus on dominating the marketplace. They've been able to scale many brands from 0 to 3 million in monthly sales. Welcome to the podcast, Matt.Matt 00:00:29  Thanks for having me. Josh, how are you doing?Josh 00:00:31  Doing great. What are some of the key things that you, you advise or recommend when launching a brand new product on Amazon that are working today? Because, as you know, a lot of those black hat tactics, you know, have come and gone. you also have the, you know, the rebates that everybody was doing, and now it's kind of leveled the playing field a little bit more. Tell me what you're doing that's been working for you guys.Matt 00:00:55  Yeah. So first off, I think that the biggest thing is making sure you have a big enough budget to launch your products.Matt 00:01:02  like the days of 5 to $10,000 budgets to launch products are just gone in my eyes, at least in the spaces that I work in. so we usually overestimate our budgets by like 20 to 30% of what we actually think it would be just to make sure that we're in a good place in case it doesn't go the way that we want it to. but outside of that, we're looking for a couple of major things. one is we want to see continued growth in the category. Amazon's making that way easier now with like the search query reports, the product Opportunity Explorer. There's so many internal tools that they're giving you access to now that you can really easily find that. And then the other big thing that we're looking for is categories that you've got maybe like 3 or 4 power players in. And by power players they aren't really doing that much. They're still kind of growing, but they're ahead of like the other 20 items there. really it just kind of is showing us that, hey, there's enough sales to go around.Matt 00:02:01  If these four people can all kind of be around the same and customers really don't care which one they're choosing right now, they're just basically picking whichever ones at the top from what we can see. So yeah, we used to go into very heavy like categories where you would just, I mean, like launches would be half 1 million to $1 million. Wow. and if you could make them work. Yeah. The payback is amazing because of the volume that some of those categories do. But if you lose, like, it absolutely sucks. so for sure, what we're looking at like 50 to $75,000, to launch a product right now and the supplement space that we're kind of going after, and we've seen it, it's kind of the sweet spot for everything. so if we do find a product and we think it's going to cost more than that to actually launch it, we'll hold off for a bit and see if we can find some other ones that are within our kind of thresholds.Josh 00:02:53  That makes sense.Josh 00:02:54  So how do you estimate, you know, that budget, right. What's the difference between a half 1 million to $1 million product launch budget versus something that's 50 to $75,000? And how do you estimate that?Matt 00:03:07  Yeah. So the the biggest thing is ads. I mean, we've really in the last like three months, all of our launches have been almost exclusively on Amazon through Amazon Ads. so we're pulling averages of cost per clicks through the advertising API and really just looking at, okay, what is the conversion rate of the top products? If we wanted to spend to get that conversion rate on that keyword, like what would it cost us per day and working that backwards? the other big thing that I don't know anyone else that's kind of touched on this, but what we what we've been doing here recently is we have a seller account where we'll create the product beforehand. It's not the product that we're actually going to sell. We'll put some items as merchant fulfilled, and then we'll just have ourselves by the products.Matt 00:03:54  So that way we get all the search query report data for that product before we actually launch it.Josh 00:03:58  Oh, that's that's fascinating. So you do that in a separate account then? Is that what you're saying?Matt 00:04:03  We've been doing it in the same account, just like a different brand name. and throw up a listing merchant fulfilled and do a couple buys through it, and then you get all that data.Josh 00:04:14  Intere...

How you walk doesn't just reflect your mood — it can actually shape it. Research shows that adjusting your stride can boost happiness, and even a short walk outside could be the smartest thing you do today. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141015143259.htm When it comes to spending money, one-size-fits-all advice doesn't work. Should you spend on experiences? Travel? Things? The truth is, the way money makes you happy depends on you. Joining me to explore this is Morgan Housel, partner at The Collaborative Fund, award-winning journalist, and author of The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life (https://amzn.to/4gxSGrd). He reveals how your spending choices can bring real joy — or quietly sabotage your happiness. History is full of stories we've all been told — and many of them are flat-out wrong. Did slaves build the pyramids? Was Pong the first video game? Were people in the Middle Ages dirty and unwashed? Not even close. My guest, Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse — better known as The Fake History Hunter — has been debunking false historical “facts” for more than 20 years. She's the author of Fake History: 101 Things that Never Happened (https://amzn.to/46tN7FC), and she's here to set the record straight. And finally, what's the real cost of a little white lie? You might think small lies are harmless, but science shows even tiny untruths can damage your health and relationships. I'll explain why honesty really is the best policy. https://research.nd.edu/news/32485-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

On this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Jordan Fischetti, Immigration Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity, for a deep dive into the border security provisions of the Working Family Tax Cut Act—or what some are calling the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Jordan explains the bill's $46.55 billion investment in border infrastructure, including walls, roads, and cutting-edge technology. But it's not just about building more wall—it's about building smarter. They explore why local knowledge from Border Patrol agents on the ground is key to effective border solutions, how legal immigration pathways can help reduce illegal crossings, and why morale among border agents has been so low—and how to fix it. From drones and AI to the moral crisis of unaccompanied minors, this conversation goes far beyond headlines to tackle both the challenges and solutions in securing America's borders.
