After the intensity of the Metal Tiger month, a major energetic shift is arriving.   In this episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, we explore the transition from the bold, unpredictable energy of the Tiger into the more refined and strategic influence of the Metal Rabbit month, guiding us through March 2026 and into early April.   The Tiger brought rapid change, courage, conflict and urgency. Many people felt its effects as pressure, disruption, or sudden shifts in direction. But as we move into the yin energy of the Rabbit, the atmosphere softens, offering opportunities for diplomacy, creativity, healing and thoughtful strategy.   In this episode, we discuss:   ✨ Why February's Tiger energy felt so intense and disruptive ✨ The meaning of the Metal Rabbit month in Chinese metaphysics ✨ How the shift from yang wood to yin wood energy changes the emotional landscape ✨ Why March offers opportunities for creativity, design and artistic expression ✨ How to pace yourself during the Fire Horse year and avoid burnout ✨ Feng Shui guidance for the most supportive sectors of your home this month ✨ How to use the Northeast and Southeast sectors to activate prosperity, mentors and recognition ✨ Areas to keep quiet to avoid conflict or delays   We also explore the Trinity of Luck in Feng Shui, Heaven luck (timing and astrology), Earth luck (your environment), and Human luck (your own decisions),  and how aligning these three elements can help you navigate uncertainty and harness opportunities during this powerful Period 9 fire cycle.   March invites us to slow down, reconnect with nature, nurture creativity and build stronger networks through diplomacy and thoughtful collaboration.   If February felt chaotic, this new Rabbit energy offers the breathing space needed to recalibrate and move forward with clarity and grace.   For deeper monthly Feng Shui guidance, personal readings, or detailed flying star updates, you can join our Patreon community.

Starbucks is moving a portion of its Seattle-based corporate workforce to Nashville, Tennessee. Citing Nashville as "an ideal location" for a stronger Southeast presence, Starbucks COO Mike Grams framed the move as a strategic decision to support growth across North America. While Seattle will remain the North America and Global Support headquarters, the company will evaluate further transitions to Nashville. The move follows a $1 billion restructuring plan, including 900+ corporate layoffs and store closures. Tennessee state and local leaders have welcomed the announcement, praising the job creation and corporate investment it will bring to Nashville. Is this the end of Starbucks in Seattle, or a smart move to expand?

It seems like the frequency of weather-related disasters is increasing. Across the US we're seeing wildfires, tropical storms and hurricanes, extreme heat, extreme cold with snow or ice. And torrential rain leading to a loss of property, life, and livelihoods. What's more, similar extreme events are happening across the globe. These disasters all can have an impact on our food supply and the ability of people to access food. Today, we're speaking with environmental sustainability management expert, Betsy Albright, who is an associate professor of the practice at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. Betsy's research centers on how policies and decisions are made in response to weather related disasters. Interview Summary Betsy, I've been wanting to have you on the podcast for a while, so I'm excited to get you now. So, let's begin with the first broad question. I'd be really interested to learn a little bit more about your research to make sure that our listeners are up to date on it. And I know you really study disasters, but could you explain or expand on what that really means for our listeners? I'm an environmental social scientist who studies the human and social side of disasters. And I ask questions about how climate related disasters or climate driven disasters, or weather disasters affect communities and households. And how individuals perceive risks from disasters, how they're affected by disasters, how they learn from make changes and adapt after disasters. My work started with my dissertation in central Europe. I had a Fulbright in Hungary. But from then I've expanded and moved most of my work to the US context. And our research team and I have done work on flooding and wildfires in Colorado, hurricanes in North Carolina. And I'm also working on a study of the flows of disaster assistance funds from FEMA to communities. And all of this is with or through a lens of equity or inequities and thinking about that across the disaster cycle. This is really important, and I remember being at a conference with you and learning about your work. And I was struck by what happens after the disaster. And in particular what happens to availability of food. And I work with the food bank here in North Carolina. And one of the things I know is when there is a disaster, like when Helene hit Asheville, there are real challenges in getting food out to people. Does your work touch on those topics as well? Yes. I would not say that our work centers on food, but food definitely intersects across all phases of the disaster cycle from preparing for disaster, experiencing disaster, the immediate response- that food bank getting food out- to long term recovery and thinking about risk mitigation. And we can think about that, you know, through a number of different lenses. Both on the food access side, but also on the food systems agriculture side as well. As I mentioned earlier, I take an equity lens on much of the work that we do. It's really important to recognize that disasters hit unevenly across society, across the landscape. Disproportionately they magnify social and environmental stressors that are already there. Communities with limited access to wealth, limited access to food, who are underserved, rural communities, racialized communities, often experience greater impacts from disasters. Disasters occur on top of histories of disenfranchisement. For example, centuries of marginalization of the minoritized Romani peoples of Central Europe they've seen great impacts from flooding. And in North Carolina, Black and African American communities whose ancestors were enslaved and suffered land loss through racist systems of who gets access to loans, access to land ownership. And because of these systems and processes, communities, families, individuals may live on marginal lands, may not own their lands. Their lands may be more prone to flood risk. May be underserved. Their housing may be more at risk. They may rent and not own. May have less agency and resources to repair their homes. And may have less trust in government and government systems. So really thinking about all of that, and then piling on disasters over these centuries of marginalization, disenfranchisement, underinvestment is really critical when trying to disentangle all these processes and develop policy solutions. This is really fascinating work and so thank you for laying out the sort of reality of the experience of disasters where people who have been marginalized may have difficulty accessing resources or there may be some concerns about trust. Broadly, we're interested also in the food system, and I'd be interested to understand how, when disasters strike, do you see effects upon the food system or the food system responding to these disasters? Recognizing that some individuals have higher food stress, even without a disaster, they may have higher pollutant burden because they live next to a concentrated animal feed lot operation. They may have weaker infrastructure systems: electricity, transportation, because of disinvestment. And so, when a disaster strikes, pollution loads may increase, access to food becomes even more of a challenge. Food stress increases. For example, in North Carolina, across the Southeast and further in the United States, Latino migrant farm workers face higher risks during hurricanes and floodings because of barriers, like limited access to emergency information and Spanish language barriers, fears about government intervention, fears tied to immigration status, housing conditions, lack of transportation. And these factors can delay access to food, evacuation, reduce preparedness, slow recovery. And yes, it's a challenge to really think then hard about what policy solutions make sense. That does make me also appreciate when we think about some of the folks involved in the food system, that the disruption that a disaster can bring will also mean a loss of employment or opportunities to continue earning income. And that seems to be a sort of a knock-on effect of these disasters. It's not just the immediate weather event. It's all of the other things that follow afterwards. Yes. And so when thinking about policy solutions, I really think it's critical to address these inequities even outside of the disaster cycle, or outside of the framing of disasters. And can we think about and develop ways, for example, to do reduce the risks of concentrated animal feedlot operations in North Carolina. Other ways for more resilient and sustainable and local ways of farming that minimize environmental risks, increase wealth, increase jobs, access to jobs. That then, when disaster strikes, are going to be more resilient because they're more resilient even before disasters. You know, I'd like to see greater investment in areas of food access, strengthening support for farm workers, encouraging development of local food hubs. Also thinking about making food access hubs more resilient to extreme weather events. Maybe elevating them, getting them all generators or solar microgrids. So that when disaster does happen, they're more resilient and then they can serve as community hubs with less reliance on supply chains at the national level. Really, coming back local, mutual aid, supporting each other, community supporting communities, non-governmental organizations, government, faith-based organizations strengthening local food systems. Also, everything that I just said for food I also think for health. You know, access to healthcare goes along with access to food in terms of critical infrastructure for community to flourish. And so, making sure there are local hospitals, not just in time of disaster, but in time of not disaster. So, expedite funding for small businesses, for neighborhood organizations, neighbors getting to know neighbors in disasters. Neighbors relying on neighbors. And that's critical. Anything we can do to build up networks. And that doesn't necessarily have to be government intervention. That could be faith-based organizations, churches, working with communities. It could be Little Leagues. There's lots of different ways to help build that social infrastructure that's so critical during disasters. Betsy, thank you for that. And as I hear you talk about these issues, what I am grateful for is we normally talk about food and the food system, but it's a parallel reality of what happens with the healthcare system when the disaster strikes. I can only imagine if someone is in need of a certain medicine when the disaster hits access to that medicine may be called into question as happens with food. But one of the big things I get out of what you're saying is we need to build resilient communities. Not when the disaster happens but do that work now. How do we create mutual aid? How do we create actual neighborhoods that know what's going on and to care for one another. Because it's that THAT helps us through these difficult times. Is that a fair assessment? Yes. That's more well said than I said it. So yes. Thank you. I am so grateful for this. Betsy, is there anything else we should think about when it comes to disasters and the food system or how we should prepare for disasters in the future? One thing that I didn't emphasize that my early work really looked at is how we grow food. And in Central Europe and Hungary in the area that I studied, this large-scale infrastructure on land that had previously, centuries ago, been wetlands. And then was drained for large scale agricultural systems, not unlike what we see in much of the Midwest of the United States. But as climate change worsens, we're seeing more extreme rain events. It's becoming harder and harder to basically fight against these floods in our agricultural system. And so really rethinking. What a resilient kind of agroecological system could look like on the food growing side. And that could be issues of what is grown, that could be issues of scale, thinking about maybe we need to put more land aside and not farm. But really thinking hard about how we incentivize, how do we set up insurance to help mitigate some of the risks. But I think that's going to be one of the major challenges moving forward.

Many investors feel a real tension today. They want their portfolios to reflect biblical convictions. They care about justice, stewardship, and human dignity. Yet they're also navigating volatility, inflation, and economic uncertainty. When markets feel unstable, the question quietly surfaces: Do I have to choose between faithfulness and financial performance? The answer may surprise you. Today, we sat down with Stella Tai, Stewardship Investing Impact and Analysis Manager at Praxis Investment Management, one of the country's oldest faith-based mutual fund families and a valued underwriter of this program. Our conversation centered on whether values-aligned investing can truly pursue both impact and competitive returns—even in uncertain times. The Tension Investors Feel In strong markets, impact investing can sound inspiring and straightforward. But when markets grow choppy, many investors feel drawn into survival mode. “I need to focus on returns.” “I can't afford to think about impact right now.” Stella noted that this tension isn't just financial—it's spiritual. People of faith don't want to pull back from caring about stewardship or community flourishing. But they also worry: Will my returns suffer if I invest with conviction? That's an honest question.  Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 21:5 that “the plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” There's a difference between being responsive and being reactionary. When anxiety drives decisions, fear often replaces conviction—and that's when costly mistakes happen. Discipline Over Panic At Praxis, stewardship in uncertain markets begins with discipline. Stella described three anchors: Financial rigor in every market cycle. Serious analysis, ongoing evaluation of risk and opportunity, and team-based decision-making help ensure emotions don't drive the ship. Integration of impact with fundamentals. Impact and performance are not competing priorities. They are designed to work together. A long-term orientation. Rooted in stewardship, not speculation. Hebrews 12:11 reminds us that discipline may feel painful in the moment, but it yields a peaceful fruit of righteousness. That's true in spiritual formation—and in investing. What Values-Aligned Performance Actually Looks Like One common misconception is that screening companies based on faith convictions automatically sacrifices performance. Stella explained that Praxis uses what's called benchmark tracking. In simple terms, that means aiming to closely track the broader market while thoughtfully excluding companies that don't align with biblical values. The goal isn't to “beat the market.” It's to minimize what's known as “tracking error”—the gap between a fund's returns and its benchmark. In other words, you can seek market-level returns while owning companies that better reflect your convictions. Over full market cycles—not just in a single quarter—faith-based investors should expect competitive returns. That commitment to consistency is central. Impact Beyond Screening Screening is often the most familiar strategy in values-aligned investing. But real impact doesn't stop there. Praxis recently released its Real Impact Report, highlighting a framework that includes multiple strategies—from screening and shareholder advocacy to direct community investing. One powerful example involved long-term engagement with a large utility company in the Southeast. Instead of divesting, Praxis used its ownership stake to advocate for: A just transition for workers and communities as coal plants retire Science-based emissions reduction targets Responsible planning tied to renewable energy growth The company published just transition metrics and began tracking progress. That's what patient, long-term engagement looks like. Rather than stepping away, they stayed invested—believing transformation often happens through steady, faithful presence. Where to Begin If you're intrigued by impact investing but feel overwhelmed, start with clarity. Ask yourself: What values matter most to me? What kind of world do I want my capital to help build? What are my long-term financial goals? Then consider working with an advisor familiar with faith-based investing options. You don't have to master every strategy. Firms like Praxis Investment Management handle the research, engagement, and implementation. Your role is simpler—and profound: to say, "I want my money to reflect my values." When multiplied across many investors, even small portfolio decisions can move markets toward greater justice, dignity, and stewardship. And in uncertain times, that kind of disciplined conviction may be one of the most faithful investments you can make. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 60 and recently lost a long-time job. I have about $1.5 million in a volatile 401(k) and would prefer not to draw from it yet. With my wife working part-time and income limited, how should I reposition this account to make it safer and navigate this transition? If I take Social Security before full retirement age and accept the reduced benefit, how do cost-of-living adjustments factor in? Do future COLAs help offset that early-retirement reduction?

Send a textIn this episode, Ed welcomes Michael Pouliot of Carbon Real Estate Investments, a vertically integrated private equity firm operating workforce housing apartments across the Southeast. Pouliot explains Carbon's buy box: 100–300 unit, older vintage (1970s–1990s) properties in strong school districts and stable submarkets, targeting families and raising rents about 20% through substantial CapEx that prioritizes deferred maintenance alongside unit upgrades. They talk about navigating Sunbelt challenges like insurance and taxes by avoiding high-risk areas, staying conservative in underwriting, and emphasizing strong entry pricing. Pouliot shares a bullish view that the next 12–18 months are a strong buying window as the market works through distress, debt maturities, and oversupply absorption, with more constructive sentiment and capital expected around 2027–2028. He outlines Carbon's strategy for 2026: keep buying with fixed-rate, low-leverage debt, hold long-term, and offer investor liquidity via recapitalizations rather than selling assets. The conversation also covers regional scaling for operational efficiency, selective adoption of AI tools (voice/chat agents, SOP knowledge bases, automation) to augment staff, and Pouliot's perspective on purpose, mentorship, lifestyle trade-offs versus Wall Street, and how he defines success. Pouliot closes by directing viewers to investwithcarbon.com for Carbon's weekly newsletter and content.00:00 Cycle Outlook 2027-202800:11 Show Intro and Mission00:52 Welcome and Subscribe01:42 Meet Carbon Real Estate02:44 Insurance and Tax Headwinds05:07 Buy Box and Resident Avatar07:01 Why Stable Markets Win08:34 Distress Deals and Assumable Debt12:29 Oversupply and Absorption Math14:58 Strategy for 202618:41 Vertical Integration and CapEx20:32 Tech and AI in Property Ops14:23 AI Ops Automation23:28 Human Touch Investing24:31 Real Estate Tech Lag25:19 Deal Junkie Purpose26:23 Paranoia Prevents Errors28:26 Wall Street What Ifs33:38 Learning Diet Books35:56 Defining Success Seasons38:19 Life Outside Real Estate41:05 Where To Follow CarbonThis week's book: How Countries Go Broke by Ray DalioElevista - Speed as a Service™Elevista Connect is the first AI-powered lead conversion system built for real estate investors.

As the freight market tightens and costs rise, supply chain leaders must plan ahead, strengthen carrier ties, and stay agile.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest host Karin Bursa sit down with Bobby Holland of U.S. Bank and Nick Palmucci of Ferguson Enterprises to discuss the latest U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index for Q4 2025. They unpack what “freight market tightening” looks like in practice, with capacity shrinking, shipper spend climbing, and regional performance moving in different directions, from strength in the Northeast to weakness in the Southwest.They also get into what's driving demand shifts and cost pressure, including changes in consumer behavior, softer manufacturing signals, and uncertainty that keeps teams on their toes. Along the way, they share practical moves leaders can make right now, such as building a three-year roadmap, reducing spreadsheet dependency, locking in bids earlier, and operating like a shipper of choice when capacity gets tight. The result is a grounded look at what the data shows, what shippers are experiencing, and how to turn both into better decisions.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:38) Warm-up questions for the panel(06:54) Tightening capacity and rising costs(11:46) Q4 national view: lower capacity, higher costs(15:23) West: softer volumes, higher spend(19:25) Southwest: brief rebound, costs climb(21:56) Midwest: modest gains, mixed demand(24:51) Northeast: strongest growth, higher rates(28:13) Southeast: volumes down, muted spend(30:32) Consumer confidence and freight demand(31:46) Leading through uncertainty: roadmap and tech(40:36) What's ahead: capacity and shipper-of-choice strategyAdditional Links & Resources:Download the latest edition of the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://www.usbank.com/corporate-and-commercial-banking/industry-expertise/transportation/freight-payment-insights.html?ecid=OTHE_80042Connect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa Connect with Bobby Holland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-holland-4a9355/Learn more about U.S. Bank: https://www.usbank.com/index.htmlConnect with Nick Palmucci: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-palmucci/Learn more about Ferguson: https://www.ferguson.comLearn more about Ferguson Home: https://www.fergusonhome.comLearn more about Ferguson Corporate: https://corporate.ferguson.comLearn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!

China withdrew export registrations in early March 2025 from most U.S. meat facilities, after the Trump administration slapped a series of tariffs on Chinese goods. The licenses were reissued within days for poultry and pork facilities but have remained expired for nearly all beef processors and exporters. Compared to 2024, beef exports by volume were down 12% last year to less than 1.14 million metric tons. The global export decline was nearly 150,000 metric tons, while the loss of volume to China was about 120,000 metric tons. Amid record global beef prices for much of last year, U.S. exports of beef were down 11% by value to $9.33 billion dollars, equivalent to the drop in sales to mainland China. A truce announced at the end of October in the trade war called for China to drop non-tariff barriers to U.S. goods, but the beef export registration issue remains. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidated President Donald Trump's claim of unlimited emergency tariff powers, removing what the White House claimed was important negotiating leverage.

The salient point of this podcast episode pertains to the heightened wildfire conditions prevalent across certain regions of the Southern Plains, as underscored by the latest federal drought updates. The episode elucidates the significant impact of drought on rangelands and water supplies in states such as Texas and Oklahoma, thereby exacerbating the risk of wildfires. The National Weather Service has issued warnings regarding fire weather concerns, particularly in areas where dry conditions and wind can facilitate the rapid spread of grass fires. Furthermore, the discussion encompasses the broader context of unusual warmth in the Southwest and thunderstorms in the Southeast, juxtaposed against the absence of significant seismic activity and tropical cyclones. Thus, we emphasize the importance of remaining vigilant and informed about these environmental challenges as we navigate through this period.Takeaways:* The current weather conditions in the Southern Plains pose significant wildfire risks due to persistent drought.* Recent updates indicate that drought conditions are intensifying across parts of Texas and Oklahoma.* Kansas is experiencing elevated wildfire risks as dryness and drought conditions continue to affect the region.* The National Weather Service has highlighted fire weather concerns in the Plains due to dry conditions and wind.* No significant earthquakes have been reported in the past day according to the U.S. Geological Survey.* The National Hurricane Center has reported that there are currently no active tropical cyclones in the tropics.Sources[Drought.gov | https://www.drought.gov/drought-status-updates/drought-status-update-southern-plains-2026-02-26][NWS Fire Weather | https://www.weather.gov/fire/][Drought.gov | https://www.drought.gov/drought-status-updates/drought-status-update-southern-plains-2026-02-26][NWS Fire Weather | https://www.weather.gov/fire/][Drought.gov | https://www.drought.gov/drought-status-updates/drought-status-update-southern-plains-2026-02-26][NWS Fire Weather | https://www.weather.gov/fire/] This is a public episode.

They offered him a job on their ranch and told him he was free to hunt on their land too. Fast forward to November 11th, of last year. Nick was elk hunting about 45 minutes Southeast of Great Falls.

What if the investment you've been ignoring is ignoring recessions, too? Stocks are floating at all-time highs. Everyone's calm. That's usually when things get weird. Matt opens this episode with a blunt take: when the market turns, investors don't get creative. They panic into real estate. The problem? Most people only know one version of it. So we brought on Matthias Gruenwald, a former German corporate exec who quietly built a real estate business around mobile home parks, the asset class most investors joke about and then completely misunderstand. This isn't a hype episode. It's a reality check.
