PAUSE… With each breath, feel your body grow heavier, more at ease, The toes relax, the feet sink into softness, A feeling of calm rising slowly through the legs, Unwinding the tightness, loosening any grip, And inviting a deep comfort to settle in.

Feel the arms grow heavy, the hands soft and open, The weight releasing, the body gently grounding. This is a place of rest, a place of quiet, Where every breath invites a deeper letting go.

This week on Payne Points of Wealth, Bob, Ryan, Chris, and Courtney dive into the evolving dynamics of the U.S. labor market. Despite predictions of a slowdown, companies are hesitant to lay off workers—even as hiring remains sluggish. Is this a sign of economic weakness, or are deeper demographic shifts like an aging population and reduced immigration reshaping the workforce?   We also unpack Wall Street's push to make alternative investments more accessible to everyday investors—a movement often branded as “democratization.” While financial firms tout the benefits of private equity and other alternatives, few are talking about the risks. In fact, as retail investors are being encouraged to buy in, institutional giants are quietly heading for the exits. Yale's $41.4 billion endowment is unwinding nearly $3 billion in alternative holdings.   Meanwhile, private credit—a market that barely existed a decade ago—is surging toward $2 trillion. Firms like Apollo and Blackstone are now lending directly to businesses, consumers, and real estate investors, giving regular investors unprecedented access. But is this truly a golden opportunity, or a hidden risk to your retirement? We break down the opaque, illiquid nature of these investments and what they could mean for your long-term financial future.   Tune in for our take on what's really happening in the job market and whether Wall Street's latest pitch is worth your hard-earned dollars.

The Bhagavad-gītā is more than philosophy—it's full of feeling. Arjuna's grief and Krishna's compassion remind us that yoga is not about suppressing emotions but purifying and deepening them. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Krishna's pastime of becoming every cowherd boy and calf in Vṛndāvana, where ordinary love becomes unlimited when connected to the Divine. The lesson: to experience the emotions of bhakti, we must keep our hearts soft and respectful toward all beings. Also: Raghunath clears his head on a bike ride, Mara has her “Govardhan Hill moment,” and magnets and rust somehow find their way into yoga philosophy.

Every Muslim, at some point, asks deep questions in their heart: "Can I ever be close to Allah when I'm struggling with sins?" "Is being a Wali of Allah only for the righteous people of the past?" "How can someone like me, caught up in work, family, mistakes, and distractions, even dream of this?" You might be struggling to stand in Qiyam al-Layl. You might be feeling spiritually low, scrolling endlessly on your phone, or carrying regrets from your past. Yet deep inside, you still want to feel that closeness to Allah and to know that He loves you. This is exactly why Miftah Tareeq al-Awliyaa' was written - to show that the path to becoming beloved to Allah is not locked away in history. It's open to anyone today who sincerely wants Allah above everything else. In this session, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains this heart-softening work of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Wasiti, outlining the qualities of the Awliya of Allah, the traits to develop, and the pitfalls to avoid on this journey.

JP Morgan, in its legal battle with the U.S. Virgin Islands, alleged that Jeffrey Epstein wielded outsized influence over local officials and used his wealth to bend the territory's government to his will. Court filings accused Epstein of cultivating cozy relationships with USVI leadership, pouring money into charities, and leveraging donations to secure favorable treatment. According to the bank's claims, Epstein wasn't just a wealthy resident — he was essentially a political power broker, able to shape policy and deflect scrutiny even after his 2008 conviction. This narrative painted the islands not as an innocent victim of Epstein's crimes but as an active partner that tolerated, and in some cases allegedly enabled, his activities because of the money and influence he brought.One of the most disturbing allegations JP Morgan raised was that Epstein tried to directly manipulate the territory's sex offender laws. The filings claim he lobbied for changes that would have made it easier for him to move in and out of the islands without the restrictions normally placed on registered offenders. In practice, this would have weakened oversight of his travel and residency, allowing him to continue operating with far less interference. While USVI officials have denied knowingly aiding Epstein's schemes, JP Morgan argued that the combination of political access, donations, and attempts to rewrite offender regulations shows a deeper level of complicity than the territory has admitted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein consulted on Virgin Islands sex offender law (lawandcrime.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes topics of death and loss in the mountains, as well as mention of some specific accidents you may or may not be familiar with. Please take care of yourself when listening. For this episode of the AAC podcast, we're having a conversation with therapist Ashlee Langholz about grief, traumatic grief, and how the Climbing Grief Fund (CGF) can support climbers and other mountain athletes who are experiencing loss. While we've had a few CGF grant recipients on the podcast in recent years to reflect on their personal journeys with grief, this episode is more about demystifying grief therapy and what Ash has learned throughout the years of professionally supporting people in their grief journey. Plus, our host delves into some of her own personal experiences with the topic. Do you need mental health services as you grapple with loss and injury related to the mountains and mountain sports?

They could even be seemingly random and strange thoughts, depicting memories or insights that don't make much sense. Whatever is coming to the surface,  See if you can imagine each of these thoughts as a small glowing ball of light, floating in the air around you. And every time you breathe out, Imagine that your breath extinguishes the light on one of these thoughts, one of these balls of light. Breathe out and turn off the thoughts. One by one.  With each breath out.  Darkening the space around you as each ball of light turns off and vanishes into the night.  Breathe out. Breathe out.

Episode #1019 Ever feel like your wife has built a wall between you? Maybe she's more critical, distant, or just not as open as she used to be. In this episode, we unpack why some women “harden” over time, what signs to look for before it gets that far, and most importantly how you can help shift the dynamic. We'll break down the common mistakes men make (often without realizing it), how carrying the mental load impacts your relationship, and why simply suggesting solutions isn't enough you need to lead with action. You'll hear practical ways to create emotional safety, take pressure off her plate, and rebuild trust so she can soften and open up again. Whether your marriage feels stuck or you just want to keep it strong, this conversation is about real, actionable steps you can start using today. If you want to go deeper and learn exactly how to turn things around in your marriage without endless talks or counseling, get your free training here: https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales

Once a fierce critic of Big Oil, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is now working to keep refineries open and stabilize in-state fuel supplies — a move that reflects the complex political and economic realities of California's clean energy transition. POLITICO's Alex Nieves breaks down what this pivot means for California's climate agenda and how it exposes a deeper tension within the Democratic Party over how to balance achieving environmental goals with relieving economic pressures. Plus, the Department of Interior said it's rescinding language that requires the establishment of a five-year schedule for holding offshore renewable energy lease sales. Alex Nieves is the California transportation reporter at POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.  Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.  Gloria Gonzalez is the deputy energy editor for POLITICO.  Matt Daily is the energy editor for POLITICO.

Why are home prices finally falling? And how deep will the correction go? The number of large housing markets experiencing falling home prices has tripled since January 2025. ResiClub editor-in-chief Lance Lambert joins On The Market host Dave Meyer to break down why this widespread softening is happening now, how price dynamics are pushing more buyers toward new construction, and whether we've reached the bottom of the softening cycle.

Insurers have had fair warning: the hard market is softening, and those still relying on legacy tech may soon feel the chill. So what does it take to stay competitive as conditions turn? In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined once again by Dani Katz, Co-founder and Director of Optalitix, for a sharp analysis of what's changed since their last conversation and why now really is the time to fix the roof. Dani brings a clear message: the winners in this market cycle will be those with disciplined pricing, strong data infrastructure and the ability to move fast. And while AI is starting to play a role, it's the fundamentals (clean data, integrated platforms, empowered underwriters) that remain essential. In this conversation, Dani shares insights on: Why too many firms delayed digital upgrades during the boom The signs of market softening and what that means for pricing teams What “minimum viable tech” looks like in 2025 How underwriters can be brought on the journey, not left behind The difference between automating and augmenting decisions Why data pipelines matter more than AI hype How Optalitix is responding to demand from both UK and global insurers They also touch on industry psychology: the lingering suspicion of new tech, the cultural lag behind modern tooling and why many firms still struggle to turn innovation into impact. If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn. You can also contact Dani Katz on LinkedIn to start a conversation!

There's a theory that if a seller focuses on a buyer's inner feelings, then they'll be more effective in closing a deal. This will require you to put your therapist cap on to tap into the customer's emotions.My guests, Jack Frimson and Zac Thompson, sales professionals and co-authors of Selling Is Therapy, share their techniques from their latest book. Listen to learn more about how you can start selling like a therapist to close more deals.Meet Jack Frimson & Zac ThompsonJack and Zac are seasoned sales professionals and co-founders of an agency specializing in helping clients book more high-quality appointments. Together, they have worked with hundreds of clients, developing practical, actionable strategies to make sales conversations more empathetic, effective, and rewarding for everyone involved. Why the Therapist Approach?Salespeople often default to outdated, aggressive tactics that leave both parties feeling slimy.Drawing inspiration from therapy, Jack and Zac discovered that the best sellers act less like “persuaders” and more like thoughtful guides, catalyzing customer self-discovery.Permission-Based Questions & “Softening the Blow”Simply asking before posing tough or blunt questions disarms prospects, making conversations feel safer and more genuine.This approach helps navigate tough topics, such as budget or decision-making authority, without sounding confrontational.Levels of ListeningGreat salespeople distinguish themselves by noticing what isn't said—body language, hesitations, or changes in tone.Calling out the “elephant in the room” (with empathy) opens space for honesty and trust.The “Test Close”Instead of forcing meetings or pushing agendas, the “test close” invites prospects to design the most valuable meeting for themselves (“What would make a call next week worthwhile for you?”).This boosts the chances of attended and effective appointments—and prospects are more invested because they helped build the agenda.The IKEA CurveWhen prospects participate in creating the solution (“If you could design your perfect platform/campaign/vendor, what would it look like?”), They feel a greater sense of ownership and buy-in.This technique is especially effective in competitive sales situations and discovery calls.Low-Stakes Practice & Continuous ExperimentationJack and Zac encourage sellers to experiment with these tactics in everyday settings, like at a coffee shop, to build confidence before using them in sales calls.Letting Go of AttachmentThe healthiest sales approach is one where you're unattached to the outcome—focused instead on helping, not convincing.If you're struggling with this, evaluate your alignment with the product, company, and your belief in the impact you deliver."Softening the blow is when we seek permission before we ask one of those big, big questions." - Jack Frimson."You always want to be calling out the elephant in the room. Another chapter of the book talks about the levels of listening. It shares how salespeople tend to miss the things that aren't being said." - Zac Thompson.
