Many investors are wondering whether the market is getting ahead of itself, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence and technology stocks. But perhaps the better question is not, “Are we in a bubble?” The better question may be, “How should we respond if we are?” That was the focus of today's conversation with Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing. With AI continuing to drive market enthusiasm, many investors are feeling both excitement and concern. The challenge is learning how to respond with wisdom rather than fear. Why Investors Are Concerned About AI and Tech The AI story has been driving markets for several years. One clear example is the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which has risen sharply since the end of the 2022 bear market. More recently, many companies have reported rapid profit growth and have credited AI as a key factor. That has encouraged investors because it shows AI is not merely hype. Companies across many industries are beginning to see real benefits from AI tools, including improved efficiency and increased profitability. At the same time, the demand for AI computing power has caused certain sectors—especially semiconductor stocks—to soar. When any part of the market begins rising almost straight up, investors naturally become nervous. It brings to mind previous market manias that ended in painful declines. Is This Really a Bubble? Calling a bubble in real time is extremely difficult. Even when someone identifies one correctly, acting on that information too early can be costly. Mark pointed to the late 1990s internet bubble as an example. Many investors suspected that Internet stocks were overheated long before the bubble actually burst. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously warned about “irrational exuberance,” but that warning came more than three years before the market peak. Investors who sold immediately missed significant gains before the downturn finally arrived. That illustrates an important point: even if a bubble is forming, that does not tell investors exactly what to do or when to do it. Markets are forward-looking. Investors are pricing companies not only on current earnings but also on what they believe those companies may earn in the future. If expectations rise dramatically, stock prices often rise with them. So it is possible that some parts of the market, such as semiconductor stocks, may be showing bubble-like characteristics while the broader market does not look as overheated. But the practical question remains: how should investors respond? Avoid Fear-Based Market Timing Most investors would love to avoid downturns without missing the upside. But in practice, that kind of market timing is extremely difficult. Investors often make one of two mistakes. Some sell too early and miss major gains. Others wait too long and sell only after stocks have already fallen, and fear has taken over. That is why a disciplined plan matters. Instead of trying to predict the exact top of the market, wise investors focus on staying invested while managing risk thoughtfully. Historically, some of the market's strongest gains occur late in bull markets. That does not mean investors should ignore risk, but it does mean that fear-based decisions can be costly. Diversification Still Matters One of the most practical ways to manage risk is through diversification. A well-balanced portfolio helps reduce the risk of becoming overly exposed to a single hot sector. Mark offered a helpful way to think about it: if everything you own is rising at the same time, or if nothing you own is rising, you may not be truly diversified. But if some holdings are doing very well while others seem to be lagging, that may actually be a sign that your portfolio is properly balanced. Diversification can feel frustrating when one part of the market is racing ahead. But its purpose is not to maximize every short-term gain. Its purpose is to help investors remain steady through a variety of market environments. Rebalancing Is a Disciplined Way to Manage Risk Another practical tool is rebalancing. When one part of a portfolio has grown significantly, rebalancing allows investors to shift some gains out of fast-rising assets and back into areas that have not run up as much. This helps manage risk without requiring investors to predict the future. Rebalancing also has an emotional benefit. It gives investors a clear process to follow. Instead of asking, “Should I sell everything?” they can simply make measured adjustments in line with their plan. That kind of discipline can help investors avoid impulsive decisions driven by fear or excitement. Keep Reasonable Expectations Investors also need realistic expectations. Markets do not move up in a straight line forever. If you stay invested in strong-performing sectors, there is a good chance you will eventually give back some gains when leadership changes or when a bear market arrives. That is part of investing. The goal is not to avoid every decline. The goal is to participate in the market's long-term growth while managing risk wisely along the way. Even defensive investing comes with trade-offs. Playing defense too aggressively—or too early—can lead to false alarms and missed returns. Staying invested longer may bring more growth, but it also means enduring discomfort when markets pull back. There is no perfect way to avoid every downside while capturing every gain. Know Your Temperament Successful investing is not only about knowledge. It is also about behavior. Investors who tend to do well over time are often those who can remain patient, diversified, disciplined, and emotionally steady in both strong and difficult markets. That is especially important when headlines are filled with bubble talk. Fear can push investors to sell too soon. Excitement can push them to chase what has already risen. Neither is a wise foundation for financial decision-making. A Wise Response to Market Uncertainty When markets look overheated, investors do not have to ignore the risks. But they also do not have to be ruled by them. A wise response begins with a disciplined, diversified, long-term plan. Rebalance periodically. Keep expectations realistic. Understand your own temperament. And avoid making major decisions based on fear, excitement, or the latest market chatter. Markets can stay hot longer than many people expect, and guessing the exact turning point usually creates more problems than it solves. But a thoughtful strategy can help investors respond with wisdom rather than react emotionally.

Episode summary introduction: In this episode of The Sean Barnes Podcast, Sean Barnes breaks down what executive presence actually means, starting with why it's some of the most common and least helpful feedback leaders get on their way up. He argues that the suit, the tie, and a clean cut are just the baseline. Real executive presence is built on three things: clear communication that adapts to any room, the composure to stay calm when everything is on fire, and the certainty that comes from a track record of results. Sean shares how he learned to articulate his message to different audiences, from the boardroom to a wireline shop in the Permian, and why the leader who says less often owns the room. He closes with a self-assessment for leaders who want to be remembered in every room they walk out of.   Key Moments 00:00 The vague feedback every rising leader hears, and what executive presence actually means 00:53 Why the nice suit and tie are only the foundation 01:47 Communication skills: cutting filler words and articulating your message clearly 02:41 Adapting your message to every room and navigating up and down the chain of command 03:39 Staying calm and collected when the business is on fire 04:38 Saying less: say the one thing that matters, then stop 05:27 Certainty is the product: leading from confidence 06:24 What confidence really is, and why affirmations in the mirror didn't work 07:23 Operating from fear versus giving the work time, plus the value of a coach or mentor 08:23 A self-assessment, and how to study the leaders who command the room   Key Takeaways The basics are just the baseline. How you show up matters, but communication, composure, and certainty are what take you to the next level. Say less and stay calm. The leader who talks the least, and keeps the room steady in a crisis, is the one people remember. Over explaining reads as chasing validation. Confidence is earned, not affirmed. It comes from a stack of real results built over time and across different domains, not from pep talks in the mirror.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 286 | 06.16.2026 Episode Title: Executive Presence for Leaders: Communication, Composure, and Certainty   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/   Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theseanbarnes

In this candid and often hilarious conversation, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into one of the most controversial topics in technology today: AI-generated content and the growing trend of recreating deceased celebrities through artificial intelligence. Sparked by news that Stan Lee's voice and likeness have been licensed for AI-generated projects, the discussion explores the ethical implications of digital resurrection, creative authenticity, intellectual property, and what makes great art truly human. Along the way, Travis and Eric examine where AI can provide real value—and where it risks undermining the very creativity it claims to enhance. On this episode we talk about: The ethics of using AI to recreate deceased celebrities and public figures Why authentic human creativity is difficult to replicate with AI The difference between AI as a productivity tool versus a creative replacement How limitations, imperfections, and artistic interpretation contribute to great storytelling The future of entertainment, intellectual property, and digital likeness rights Top 3 Takeaways Technology should enhance human creativity, not replace the people who create meaningful art and stories. What makes iconic characters and performances memorable is often the unique interpretation that actors, writers, and creators bring to them—not perfect replication. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for research, analysis, and productivity, but ethical boundaries become far more complicated when it begins speaking, acting, or creating on behalf of real people. Notable Quotes "What makes all the cameos cool is that it was actually Stan Lee on set doing them." "Part of what's cool about movies is the things that they did in spite of it not being perfect." "The biggest problem with AI is people."

Stopping yelling and punishing often feels like the only option, but it rarely helps dysregulated kids learn new behavior. In this episode, parents learn what actually works instead. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is an expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and child emotional dysregulation.When you're overwhelmed, exhausted, and nothing seems to get through to your child, it's easy to believe you're failing. But the truth is simpler—and more hopeful.Most parents aren't “bad at parenting,” they're just using strategies that don't reach a dysregulated brain. This episode breaks down why yelling and punishment don't create lasting change and what actually does.Why does my child get worse when I yell or punish?When your child is escalated, their nervous system is in survival mode, not learning mode. That means yelling or punishment adds more threat—not understanding.Their brain is focused on protection, not reasoningMore intensity = more escalation or shutdownShort-term compliance may happen, but no real change sticksReal-life example: You raise your voice to stop a behavior. Your child freezes or explodes again the next day. It feels like nothing is working—because the nervous system never actually calmed.What's really happening in my child's brain during a meltdown?A meltdown isn't defiance—it's dysregulation. The brain shifts into fight, flight, or shutdown, making it nearly impossible for your child to listen or learn.Stress response overrides logic and connectionThe child cannot “absorb” correction in this stateBehavior becomes communication of overwhelmBehavior is communication. Tune in to what the brain is saying.Instead of asking, “Why won't they listen?” try asking, “What state is their nervous system in right now?”Trying to understand your child's patterns more clearly? The Dysregulated Kid offers practical guidance to help you respond with more clarity and less overwhelm.What should I do instead of yelling and punishing in the moment?This is where real change begins. Instead of escalating, you become the calm anchor.Regulate first: lower your voice, slow your body, reduce stimulationConnect next: simple phrases like “I see this is hard”Correct later: teach only after calm returnsReal-life example: Your child refuses homework and starts yelling. Instead of reacting, you pause, soften your tone, and say less. The shift in your calm helps their nervous system settle faster.Before correction can work, the brain must move out of threat and into safety. That's where learning finally happens.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools.Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it.

This week on The Funny Thing About Yoga, we sit down with Chhavi Sahal, a yoga teacher, strength coach, and sleep consultant based in New Delhi, India, to explore a side of yoga that often gets overlooked.Chhavi shares how she discovered yoga at a young age through school competitions, how her teaching unexpectedly grew within her gym community, and why so many older adults began seeking out her classes. We talk about the increasing need for strength as we age, what Hatha yoga really is (beyond the stereotypes), and some of the key differences between yoga culture in India and the United States.The conversation also dives into the contrast between yoga's flashy, attention-grabbing side and the quieter, less visible practices that can be just as transformative. Along the way, we discuss keeping an open mind, challenging assumptions, and what it means to build a sustainable practice that serves you for life.A thoughtful conversation about strength, tradition, aging, and the deeper layers of yoga that don't always make it onto social media.Find Chhavi Sahal Online:Instagram @movewithchhaviWebsite https://chhavisahal.org/ Want to support our podcast?

We are delighted to bring you Series 3 of the 2026 Fiftyfaces Podcast. This set of 10 compelling conversations takes a slightly different tack to usual with a particular focus on some of the building blocks behind firms - such as strategy (as described by Matthew Kentridge), motivation (Kirstie Sneyd) and planning (Brett Hickey). We look at what happens when institutions such as public pension funds are leanly resourced and the creativity that can flow from this in terms of staffing, outsourcing and collaboration (Nadia Oumata). Staying with motivation we look at how our teachers and mentors can have play such a formative role (Kristina Hooper), at the enrichment that can come from a portfolio career (James Mitchell), at the inertia in financial markets (Crawford Spence) and the evolution of ESG (Michael Viehs). Sally Bridgeland returns to the podcast to speak about her "soon to be published" book that looks at two schools of thought and approach to the workplace - what she describes as the chess club v. the drama club.Our guests are strategists, founders, coaches, CIOs, academics, authors, cyclists . . the list goes on. Tune in from later this week for an educational journey . . Thanks to Alvine Capital Management and Franklin Templeton for sponsoring Series 3 of 2026. 

We should not rush the work of grace, but rather trust in God's care of our souls. Fr.

Communication can energize us, deplete us, or leave us energetically neutral.  When you are tired, unclear communication is even more costly. We can learn from both communication that flows and communication that feels clogged. With mindfulness, clarity, and honest reflection, communication can become a practice of energy stewardship. PEARLS OF WISDOM With mindfulness, clarity, and honest reflection, communication can become a practice of energy stewardship. Effective communication is not about everything happening quickly or smoothly. It is about clarity, transparency, and shared understanding of what is happening next. Response time matters less when expectations are clear. Knowing what we are waiting for can reduce frustration and conserve emotional energy. Communication preferences become clearer when we notice what works. We can learn from easeful interactions and use those lessons to guide future conversations. Communication clogs are part of life and medicine. We can pause, feel what is present, get curious, and choose the next healthiest and wisest response. Staying in our own energy is a mindful communication skill. We do not have to absorb confusion, urgency, or inefficiency in order to participate with care. Reflection Questions Where are you noticing communication flow right now? Where are you noticing communication clogs, delays, or unclear expectations? What helps you conserve energy when communication feels inefficient? We hope this conversation helps you notice how much energy communication requires, especially in medicine and leadership. Clear communication is not just efficient. It is compassionate. When communication feels clogged, pause, breathe, and ask what is actually yours to do. You can also notice when communication feels easeful, transparent, and energizing, and let that teach you something. This is a great topic for a workshop or keynote talk.

We explore the trust, resilience, leadership, and presence required to sustain both a creative vision and a meaningful collaboration over time.Along the way, we discuss the emotional realities behind large-scale creative work, navigating uncertainty, staying grounded amid success, letting go of attachment to outcomes, and why the journey itself may be the true destination.This conversation is a powerful reminder that extraordinary work is rarely created alone—and that the most meaningful collaborations often transform us as people as much as they shape the work itself.In this episode, we discuss:• The origin story of WANTED and how Ross and Angelica first found each other creatively• What it takes to sustain a 12-year creative partnership• Trust, communication, and navigating feedback in collaborative work• Staying present while pursuing long-term goals• Creativity, leadership, and co-creation• The role of faith, forgiveness, and resilience in the artistic process• Letting go of control and attachment to outcomes• The emotional realities of the road to Broadway• How collaboration can help us become better versions of ourselves• What younger versions of themselves would think about where they are todayWhether you're an artist, entrepreneur, leader, or simply someone pursuing a meaningful dream, this conversation offers wisdom on patience, partnership, and the courage to keep moving forward.

Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income.

Eric Richins saw the threat. He called his sister from overseas and told her Kouri Richins had tried to harm him. He consulted a divorce attorney. He restructured his estate. He told family members if anything happened to him, Kouri was responsible. And he stayed.His sister Katie testified at sentencing that Eric made the decision to remain because he was afraid of what would happen to his boys if Kouri received equal custody. He believed he was the barrier between her and them. That calculation — father as human shield — is the behavioral center of this case. A man who understood the danger, prepared for the worst, and concluded that being inside the threat was safer for his children than being outside it.The Valentine's Day 2022 incident shows how he managed the split. Two phone calls the same afternoon. One friend heard a funny story about an allergic reaction — they laughed. The other heard terror. Eric told him directly he believed Kouri was trying to poison him. Same event. Same man. Two realities. He wasn't in denial. He was fluent in both versions because toggling between them was the only way to keep functioning inside something he hadn't escaped yet.His children's sentencing statements reveal what the household looked like from inside. Locked rooms. A sibling sneaking food to a brother. Animals dying from neglect. Children who called her "Kouri," not Mom. Every one of them asked for life without parole.Kouri's response was forty-five minutes at the podium. She rolled her eyes during their statements. She sobbed when her own family praised her. She told her sons the verdict was an "absolute lie." She admitted the affair and called the marriage a love that "never failed." Her final instruction to three terrified boys: "Never apologize for something you didn't do." That wasn't a goodbye. That was a directive designed to operate inside those children for decades — the last act of a mind that can't concede, aimed at the only audience she believes she can still reach.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For Type 2s, the Coach (source: Awareness to Action Enneagram), giving feedback isn't just uncomfortable, it can feel genuinely risky. When connection is your currency, anything that might strain a relationship hits differently. In this episode, we're walking through why feedback feels so hard for this type, what Type 2s are already doing well, and a few adjustments that can help their feedback actually land, without sacrificing the warmth that makes them so good at leading people in the first place.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeType 2s are wired to see the best in people. That's such a strength,  but in a feedback conversation, it can work against you. The message gets softened, exceptions keep getting made, and the person on the receiving end walks away thinking everything is fine when it isn't. This episode helps Type 2s separate the person they care about from the behavior that needs to change, so they can deliver honest feedback without feeling like they're damaging the relationship because staying quiet is actually what damages it.3 Things to DO as a Type 2 When Giving FeedbackAnchor the conversation in the relationship first. Before you get into the feedback, let the other person know you're coming from a place of care. Something like "I'm bringing this up because I care about you and your success here" is genuine, coming from a Type 2, and people will feel that. It lowers their guard and opens them up before the harder part of the conversation begins.Use your coaching instinct to frame it as "here's what I see in you, and here's what's getting in the way." This lets you stay connected to their potential while still giving honest, specific feedback and clear recommendations for change. It's the sweet spot for this type.Stay specific about the behavior, not the person. You might genuinely adore this person, but their behavior is causing a problem. Keep those two things separate. When they blur together, the feedback gets confusing to deliver and confusing to receive.3 Things to AVOID as a Type 2 When Giving FeedbackSoftening the message so much it doesn't land. If you've sandwiched the feedback so thoroughly that the other person walks away thinking everything is fine, you haven't helped them. And helping people is the whole point. Clear feedback delivered with warmth is still kind. Unclear feedback delivered with warmth is just a missed opportunity.Continuing to make exceptions to protect the relationship. One more chance, let's see what happens. I'll say something next time. Sound familiar? The relationship is actually better served by honest feedback than by silence. Staying quiet to avoid discomfort puts your comfort above what that person actually needs. A small reframe that might help: not saying something isn't kind. It just feels easier in the moment.Waiting until you're frustrated to finally say something. Type 2s can have a slow burn, putting things off, making exceptions, absorbing frustration, until it all comes out at once from a place of resentment or total depletion. By then, the message gets lost in the heat of the moment. Say something before you get there.A Phrase to Try"I'm telling you this because I genuinely believe in what you're capable of, and I'd rather have this conversation now than watch something get in your way."That's it. That's the whole spirit of Type 2 feedback done well. Use it at the start, the end, or somewhere in the middle, and make it yours.Resources + Next StepsAre you a Type 2 with something to add, validate, or push back on? Or do you work with a Type 2 and want to share what you appreciate about how they show up as a leader and communicator?

In the first lucid dreaming episode, we talked about how to wake up inside the dream.This is the next part.Lucid Dreaming Part 2 is about what happens after you become aware that you're dreaming. Staying lucid, talking to dream characters, false awakenings, sleep paralysis, nightmares, dream control, and the weird moment where the dream starts feeling less like a playground and more like a place that might actually be responding to you.This episode is part science, part dream journal, part spiritual rabbit hole. We get into lucid dreaming as a practice, but also as a doorway into meditation, subconscious symbolism, fear, attention, and the strange feeling of becoming aware inside a world your own mind is creating.Use this episode if you're interested in lucid dreaming, dream control, sleep paralysis, meditation, mystical experiences, or just the very normal question of why your brain can build an entire universe while you're unconscious.Website: https://idiotmystic.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/idiotmysticTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@idiotmysticDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM

If you've ever told yourself "I'm too small to worry about trademarks," this episode is the wake-up call. Kelly sits down with trademark and IP attorney Berkeley Sweetapple — the rare lawyer who makes legal genuinely fun — to break down why protecting your brand isn't a someday problem, it's a business growth investment you make early. Kelly opens up about the most expensive lesson of her career. when she figured she was too small and insignificant to bother with a trademark, and ended up needing a full rebrand across thousands of files, podcasts, and videos, millions of dollars lost, and years of focus pulled off growth. Berkeley shares how she went from "most likely to quit law and become a housewife" to building a law firm serving online entrepreneurs, and gets into where IP is heading in the age of AI. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Matthew McConaughey are already trademarking phrases, faces, and likenesses to control how their persona shows up online, and Berkeley explains why the law is always playing catch-up while AI moves at full speed. Berkley shares why everything in your business probably needs a legal refresh after the changes of the last couple years, and where to start if you're mid-panic. The common denominator: if you stay in business long enough, these things will happen to you. The move is to get the right people in place early, stay in your CEO energy, delegate the legal, and build the systems so you can keep moving the company forward.

Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya joins Head of India Research and Chief India Equity Strategist Ridham Desai to break down India's macro outlook, capital flows and sector opportunities.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Chetan Ahya: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Economist.Ridham Desai: And I'm Ridham Desai, Morgan Stanley's Head of India Research and Chief India Equity Strategist.Chetan Ahya: Today, the biggest takeaways from our India Investment Forum in Mumbai. From the shifting outlook for India's markets and flows to the sectors driving the next phase of corporate earnings and CapEx.It's Friday, June 12th at 7PM in Hong Kong.Ridham Desai: And 4:30PM in Mumbai.Chetan Ahya: Ridham, the Morgan Stanley's India Investment Forum took place in Mumbai last week, and I was there with you. These events are a great opportunity to speak with investors who come across from the globe to attend. Now that we have had a few days to process the conversations, what stood out to you? What was the biggest shift in investor sentiment that you picked on?Ridham Desai: So, Chetan, I think it's been the case of a continuing story about India. Domestic investors look that they are bullish, and foreign investors continue to stay rather cautious on the Indian markets. We could see that in the overall attendance. In contrast, I think domestic investors were looking for the next stock that they wanted to buy. They were seeking opportunities, and there was a lot of interest in meeting companies.Before we get into markets, let me turn back to you from a macro side. India's growth story remains strong, but relative growth appears to be cooling. This is in contrast to markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and the US. How should investors think about India's macro positioning in that context?Chetan Ahya: So, Ridham, when I look at the macro data in India, they're all indicating a meaningful upside in the growth trend. So I'll just cite two key cyclically sensitive macro data points. One is the banking system credit growth, and number two is the auto sales, particularly the passenger vehicle. So bank credit growth is growing as of the last biweekly data point that we got. It's growing at seventeen point seven percent year-on-year, and car sales are growing at twenty-seven percent in the month of May.But as you were mentioning earlier, the relative growth opportunity is a challenge for India and to just share the numbers on the earnings growth for the first quarter that we saw across the region. So we saw Korea's earnings growth at one hundred and seventy percent. We saw Taiwan's earnings growth at forty-eight percent year on year. Japan at thirty-three percent. The US has seen a growth of about twenty-seven percent year on year.So in that context, when India is reporting thirteen percent growth, it's becoming a challenge for investors to look for opportunities in India relative to other markets. Either they are more focused on the other markets than India. So let me come back to you, Ridham. Staying with the investment implications, India projects stable valuations and strong corporate earnings, but its relative growth advantage has narrowed. How should investors reconcile this contradiction?Ridham Desai: If I go back thirty-five years, as long as we have the MSCI index series, and as far as I have been in this industry, this is the lowest relative multiple that India has traded at. And indeed, growth last year was weak. But if you see QOQ, we have started to accelerate. The broad market earnings growth trajectory has shown a doubling in the quarter that ended March over the quarter that ended December.But it underscores the point you made about the relative growth complex. It's clearly not in India's favor. And a lot of the capital in the world is short-term oriented, and it cares for what growth is gonna come in the next quarter or two. And that's the state of the market right now.However, what I would say is that equities is a quintessential long-duration asset class. In the long run, what matters is terminal growth. I don't really think India's terminal growth has moved much. It remains far superior to a lot of other countries around the world. And therefore, I think this does present itself as a great opportunity for a long-term investor while the markets are digesting this relative growth disadvantage that India seems to have over the next, say, three or four quarters.Chetan Ahya: And Ridham, another theme from the forum was policy action to attract capital. Policymakers announced a number of measures right as our conference ended and they aimed to withdraw withholding tax on debt investors, also providing banks with an incentive to take up more dollar borrowing. How central are these measures to sustaining foreign inflows into Indian markets?Ridham Desai: I think the measures taken by policymakers are very important, probably amongst the most important policy actions this year. The removal of taxation on debt investors will make a difference. The provision for hedging to external commercial borrowings as well as to foreign currency deposits will make a difference.It should boost flows into India over the next twelve months. That said, these measures may not help the equity flows because the equity flows, I think, are going to depend on the relative growth situation. Now, there's only that much India can do to lift its growth. It may accelerate to the high teens. So growth elsewhere needs to decelerate for equity investors to return. Or India needs to see the start of a major IPO cycle because in primary issuances, foreigners do come to buy, and that may change the net picture on FBI flows in the equity markets.But as far as the debt markets are concerned, I think the measures taken last week are going to prove to be quite potent, and India should see the benefits accruing over the next few weeks and months.Chetan, from your perspective, how important is the policy backdrop right now in determining whether India can keep attracting long-term global capital despite more competitive returns elsewhere in the short run?Chetan Ahya: So Ridham, I think the key focus for the policymakers had been with these measures to boost short-term capital inflows to stabilize the currency. There has been a balance of payment deficit. So from that perspective, the short-term capital inflow augmentation effort as you mentioned, has been the correct move. But from the long-term perspective, we think that the government needs to boost competitiveness of the Indian manufacturing. Because in the context in which AI could affect India's services exports, there is a need to augment more export receipts from the manufacturing sector. At the same time, if they improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, it will help India to attract more capital inflows from long-term investors for the purpose of FDI.And the good news is that the government is on it. They are taking a number of measures to boost that competitiveness in the manufacturing. But we think that there is more action needed and hopefully in the intention to improve the balance of payment dynamics and exports from manufacturing sector, we will see more actions from the government in the coming months.Ridham Desai: Chetan, you've also written extensively about the structural capital spending cycle in Asia and India. Can you walk us through the key details here, especially in the Indian context?Chetan Ahya: I think the key story that we are observing, it's sort of more or less global, but definitely very clearly seen in Asia, that there seems to be a super cycle for CapEx as well as industrial activity. This CapEx cycle is effectively driven by spending in four key sectors, and that is AI and AI-related digital infrastructure, energy, defense, and industrial onshoring-related CapEx.Now, as far as India is concerned, we are seeing investments in all the four segments that I just mentioned. In fact, it's seeing a significant amount of activity in the space of energy. And, similarly, we are seeing a lot of policy measures, I mentioned earlier, in terms of boosting manufacturing competitiveness.But at the heart of it is government's effort to onshore industrial supply chain. So India's CapEx has also inflected higher. Having said that, the difference between India and, let's say, North Asia, which is Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China, is that they are also a big player in the export market for capital goods when there is global CapEx cycle upswing happening. Nevertheless, India will see the benefit of this CapEx cycle in terms of its own growth push, as well as improvement in productivity.So Ridham, how would you think about the sectoral opportunity within the Indian markets?Ridham Desai: We see a lot of interest in some of these sectors which you mentioned. But actually, I would like to start off with financials. I see the banks in a very sweet spot. Balance sheets are in pristine condition. The interest rate cycle has troughed, which means margins for the banks have also bottomed and credit growth is finally accelerating. If this CapEx cycle unfolds like the way you are describing it, I think financials will stand to gain the most.And interestingly, the valuations are quite good, both on an absolute as well as on a relative basis. Also, of course, investors can go directly into those sectors which are doing this capital spend. Energy to start with, semiconductors, fertilizers, data centers and aerospace.The only thing to note here is that not everywhere are the valuations attractive enough because in some cases the market has recognized the coming growth cycle and has started to price that in. So we have to be careful about the valuations. But I think financials and industrials are clearly great opportunities in the context of this CapEx recovery that India is likely to see in the coming five years.Chetan Ahya: And additionally, the most requested companies at the summit, Ridham, were consumer sector companies. What do you think investors are looking for at this sector over others?Ridham Desai: So, Chetan, I think from a structural perspective, the Indian consumer is quite clearly the best place to be. In fact, I would say that it's the leverage that India enjoys over the rest of the world.The one point five billion people in this country are split across, say, a hundred and fifty cohorts of ten million each, and each of these cohorts have got different consumption opportunities. So depending on what product or service you're offering to your consumers, there's a market in India, and which in nominal terms is growing between ten and fifteen percent.As we know, last year India accounted for something around seventeen or eighteen percent of global GDP growth, which means depending again on what you are selling to your consumer, India could be between ten and hundred percent of your revenue growth. So India's consumer is something that hardly anybody can avoid.So in summary, Chetan, when I look at it from an investment opportunity, financials, industrials, and consumption, not necessarily in that particular order, are probably the best places for investors to look at. However, IT services, I think could be the dark horse. It's a sector right now which is disrupted or potentially disrupted by AI, and there's a lot of confusion there.But I think as the dust settles on this, it may emerge as one of the most interesting areas for investors to look at. So there's a lot of stuff in India happening right now. I think growth is accelerating. Valuations are looking quite interesting. In fact, the best that they've been in many, many years.Trading performance suggests that investors are not positioned at all. And if things start looking up, then India could be a very good market in the coming twelve months.Chetan Ahya: Ridham, thanks for taking the time to talk.Ridham Desai: Great speaking with you, ChetanChetan Ahya: And thanks for listening.

Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com ---Dieting isn't changing. Dieting is a temporary thing you do to make your body smaller. But your body got bigger for a reason — your lifestyle, your habits, your routines, your environment, your community, your belief systems. Change those, and the weight follows. Don't, and you'll lose it and gain it back like you always have.So why don't we change? In this episode, Chris breaks down 10 reasons people stay exactly where they are — even when they say they want something different. They come from an old framework he found in his journal, sorted into four buckets:No change, no pain. Staying the same protects you from accountability, from the unknown, and from having to trade a familiar captivity for an unfamiliar freedom.There's no reason you can't. Staying the same protects you from your own expectations — and from the expectations of everyone watching you start to do better.The mirror. Staying the same protects you from taking an honest look at where you actually are. Because once you look, you'd have to do something about it.The work. Staying the same protects you from the insult of small steps, from tearing down the monument you've built to your own pain, and from changing your relationships — with others, and with yourself.This one's about the part nobody warns you about: that real change means becoming a different person, and some part of you is fighting that on purpose. If somebody's ever told you "you've changed" like it was an insult — this episode is for you.Be careful of your sacred cows. You'll be surprised what you're willing to change once you find a reason big enough.—If this hit something, that's what we do every day inside The Guild of Champions — the community for people who are done dieting and ready to actually change.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today's episode started with something that might seem small but actually sparked a much bigger conversation. Melissa recently hit a milestone that she's incredibly proud of—51 consecutive weeks of completing at least one workout every single week. Almost an entire year of consistency. And while the achievement itself is worth celebrating, what really got us talking was what it reveals about how meaningful change actually happens in our lives. For years, Melissa has worked out on and off, but this season has felt different. Part of that comes from seeing the results of consistent effort—not just physically, but in everyday life. Feeling stronger. Having more energy. Being able to play volleyball, jump, run, and keep up with our kids. It's not really about a workout app or even fitness itself. It's about seeing firsthand what happens when you commit to something and keep showing up, especially on the days when you don't feel like it. That led us into a conversation about a phrase we hear all the time: "must be nice." You know the one. Someone shares a vacation, a business success, a healthy relationship, a fitness goal, or an accomplishment, and the immediate reaction is, "Well, that must be nice." The problem is that phrase usually shuts down curiosity. It assumes the result simply happened to someone instead of asking what sacrifices, discipline, consistency, or effort may have gone into creating it. And if we're not careful, it can keep us stuck focusing on what we don't have instead of learning from people who have created something we admire. One of the ideas we explored is that every achievement leaves clues. Instead of asking, "Why do they have that and I don't?" a more useful question might be, "What did they do to create that?" Whether it's health, finances, relationships, faith, or personal growth, the formula is surprisingly similar. Get clear on what you want, commit to it, and stay consistent long enough to see results. It sounds simple, but most of the things we admire in others are often built quietly through daily actions that nobody sees. At the end of the day, this episode is really about personal responsibility and possibility. We all have moments where comparison creeps in or where it feels easier to become frustrated by someone else's success. But what if instead of being threatened by it, we allowed ourselves to be inspired by it? What if someone else's consistency became proof of what's possible rather than evidence of what's unfair? Because the truth is, you're capable of far more than you probably give yourself credit for. And the life you want is usually built the same way Melissa built 51 weeks of workouts—one choice, one day, and one act of consistency at a time.

It's episode 305, and I don't know if you've noticed, but there are some oddballs walking around this place. Hokum (2026) finds American novelist Ohm Bauman on a pilgramage to scatter his parents' ashes in rural Ireland. Staying at an isolated hotel, he sinks into a depressive spiral, only to find renewed purpose when a member of staff goes missing. Will Ohm find them? Is the magic mushroom milk-drinking man in the woods responsible? And what's up with that honeymoon suite that's always locked...? Hokum proves divisive in HTS towers and is either great stuff or barely up to snuff, depending on who you believe. But after a touch of praising/berating, there's plenty of time left over to discuss unlikeable protagonists, haunted hotels, the importance of CCTV, Ohms Under The Hammer, curate's eggs and how best to exit a van at speed. Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: there are worse things than strangers out there yet. Next time, we're making a start on perhaps our last great unwatched horror franchise, with a revisit of Halloween (1978).

A friend relates the stresses of getting up in the morning. Her child has stubbed a toe but is it broken, poor kid? Simultaneously, the radio on, there is news of bombs again in the Middle East. And then, another worry: the erratic weather and what that might mean for a shifting climate. On top of that again, a background of disturbed domestic politics. Where is that leading? A hotch-potch of anxieties mount up. My friend and I talked about how to handle these confused concerns, some smaller, some massive; some nearer, some afar. They crash in on us. Little wonder that some people become politically frazzled or mentally fatigued – or over-stimulated or drop out altogether. The wisdom traditions offer advice on how to deal with such turbulence. A label often given to this advice is non-attachment. The idea is not to not care. But rather to learn a skilfulness in how you care. Jesus was one figure who taught as much, captured in sayings such as: “Give no thought for the morrow.” To be preoccupied with what might happen, or how things might go, is paralysing. And freezing in the present moment, or conversely over-reacting, is a disaster because the present moment is the only one to which you can respond well. The advice continues with caring for the soul, or how we are in the world, which effects how we act in the world. Or to put it another way: tend to the jostling facets of ourselves, what might be called our temperamental inner community. That internal unrest shapes our interactions with the wider community that exists around and about us. How we are inside will much effect how we are in the outside world. Cultivating a non-attached attention also opens up awareness of something spiritual. Staying with what is present is an admission that there are many things that we cannot control and, crucially, that we will let them be. This is not a failure but the gaining of a wider perspective. And then, it is possible to see that the modest good we can do is part of a wider good, which can be called God. There is a mental cost to feeling trapped in myriad troubles, but there is a spiritual liberty to find. Care with our attention brings that freedom – which is what I found with my friend. Her child with the stubbed toe was OK. The wider world certainly knows suffering, but there is also a goodness in the world that we can find and amplify.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson chats with pet, wildlife and creative nature photographer Philippa Huber.Based in Wiltshire, Philippa has built a successful photography business around her love of animals, creativity and beautiful printed artwork. But her journey has been anything but conventional.From learning darkroom techniques after moving to France and travelling the world, to life aboard a narrowboat and creating a thriving pet photography business, Philippa has always preferred to embrace opportunities rather than overthink them.Angela and Philippa discuss how selling wildlife prints at local markets eventually led to photographing dogs, and how one unexpected request helped shape the direction of her business. They also talk about the importance of printed photographs, balancing creativity with commercial work and why understanding clients is just as important as understanding your camera.Philippa shares how moving from a Nikon D750 to a Nikon Z8 transformed her pet photography and explains why knowing your equipment inside out gives her the confidence to work instinctively.The Six From SheClicks questions bring even more insight, covering everything from life on a canal boat and dream commissions to photographing energetic dogs and adapting to different situations.Above all, Philippa's story is a reminder that you don't have to know exactly where you're heading before you begin. Sometimes the best things happen when you stop waiting, trust yourself and simply give it a go.TakeawaysYou don't have to know exactly where you're heading before taking the first step. Experience often teaches more than endless planning.Starting with the equipment and knowledge you already have is often enough to begin moving forward.Understanding what your audience or clients value is just as important as developing your own creative style.Taking time to photograph purely for enjoyment can help keep creativity alive and prevent burnout.Learning your camera and refining your technical skills gives you the confidence to adapt to different situations.Staying open to opportunities and being willing to try something new can lead to unexpected and rewarding directions.Connect with PhilippaWebsiteInstagramFacebookSupport the show

Feeling scattered, busy, or pulled in too many directions? In this Reiki Lifestyle episode, Robyn and Colleen Benelli continue the Mid-Year Reiki Check-In series with a Reiki practice for present moment awareness. Last week focused on the goals, dreams, and intentions you held at the beginning of the year. This week brings you into where you are today. You will learn how to use Reiki on the fly to gather scattered energy, quiet the noise, and return to the present moment. Robyn guides a grounded conversation about present moment gratitude, the Reiki precepts, nervous system regulation, Reiki naps, and how to look at your current life with more kindness and clarity. This episode helps you ask: Where am I today? What is true now? What have I accomplished beyond my to-do list? What parts of my life need Reiki, patience, or gratitude? How can I embrace my current presence with Reiki? When life feels busy or chaotic, Reiki helps you pause, breathe, and receive support. Even a few moments of Reiki on the fly can help you release worry, lower the noise, and find stability in the middle of daily life. This Mid-Year Reiki Check-In invites you to honor who you are today, what you are holding, what you are healing, and what Reiki is showing you now. Key Insights Reiki on the Fly for Stress Reduction Reiki on the fly is a simple practice you can use during a busy day. Pause, breathe, invite Reiki, and let your scattered attention return to the present moment. You do not need a formal session to receive support. Present Moment Awareness This episode invites you to stop reaching into the past or future and notice where you are today. Present moment awareness helps you see yourself more clearly, especially during a mid-year check-in. Present Moment Gratitude Robyn shares how gratitude can shift the way you see your home, your life, your progress, and your current season. The Reiki precept "Just for today, I will be grateful" becomes a practical tool for daily life. Redefining Accomplishment Accomplishment is more than a completed task list. Staying stable, supporting family, holding space for others, receiving Reiki, practicing kindness, and moving through life with patience are also meaningful accomplishments. Reiki Precepts for Presence The Reiki precepts help bring the mind into today. "Just for today" helps release worry, soften anger, receive gratitude, devote yourself to your path, and practice kindness toward yourself and others. Reiki for Nervous System Regulation When energy feels busy, scattered, or chaotic, Reiki helps quiet the noise. A Reiki nap, a few minutes of stillness, or a moment of receiving Reiki can support the body, mind, and energy field. People Also Ask, FAQ How do you use Reiki on the fly? To use Reiki on the fly, pause during your day, take a breath, and invite Reiki to flow. Place your hands on your heart, body, or in Gassho if possible. Ask Reiki to help you gather your scattered energy and return to the present moment. What is present moment awareness in Reiki? Present moment awareness in Reiki means bringing your attention to what is true right now. You notice your body, emotions, thoughts, energy, and daily life as they are today. Reiki helps you meet the present moment with compassion and clarity. Can Reiki help with stress and overwhelm? Yes. Reiki supports stress reduction by helping the body and mind quiet down. Reiki on the fly, Reiki naps, stillness, and the Reiki precepts can help you release worry, settle your energy, and return to inner stability. How do the Reiki precepts help with presence? The Reiki precepts begin with "Just for today," which brings attention back to the present moment. They guide you to release anger, release worry, practice gratitude, devote yourself to your path, and be kind to yourself and others. What does it mean to embrace your current presence? Embracing your current presence means meeting yourself where you are today. It includes your current energy, your body, your emotions, your responsibilities, your spiritual growth, and your lived experience. Reiki helps you honor this moment as the place where your next step begins. What is a Reiki nap? A Reiki nap is a restful time when you receive Reiki and allow the body to relax deeply. Many people experience Reiki naps during sessions or personal practice. They can help quiet mental noise and support nervous system regulation. How can Reiki help with a mid-year check-in? Reiki helps you review your goals and life experience with kindness. It helps you notice what has stayed steady, what has changed, what you know now, and what needs support in the second half of the year.

Text and Be HeardStaying stopped is the elusive question, and we go straight at it: lots of people can quit for a stretch, but lasting recovery takes a foundation that doesn't crack the moment life gets stressful. We talk about why “white-knuckling it” fades, why fear-based thinking keeps you stuck, and what actually helps you live with real peace instead of constant anxiety.nnWe break down three pillars that shape how you live day to day: character, emotional intelligence, and spiritual foundation. Character means getting clear on what you believe in and who you want to be, values like honesty, hope, courage, and discipline. Emotional intelligence means knowing what you feel in real time and being able to say it out loud so you can choose a healthy response. Spiritual grounding means connecting to God or a higher power, paying attention to who's in your circle, and letting support and meaning do their work.nnWe also connect recovery to the practical parts of life that keep you steady: relationships, mental health, physical health, finances, and goals you can act on today. When you know who you are and where you're going, distractions and detours get easier to spot and easier to correct.nnIf you want a clearer relapse prevention plan and a stronger sobriety mindset, listen now, share this with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

Most people think having a voice means talking more. It doesn't. AJ sits down with former Harvard Law lecturer Elaine Lin Hering to explore why so many capable people stay silent at work, in relationships, and in life — even when that silence comes at a cost. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to psychological safety, leadership, and self-advocacy, Elaine explains why silence is often learned, reinforced by our environments, and mistaken for professionalism. This episode offers a practical framework for speaking up without becoming someone you're not — and why finding your voice has less to do with volume and more to do with expressing your perspective, needs, and expertise.
