Savage shares about his transatlantic adventure taking us back to 1965 on the Spanish island of Majorca.  He recalls traveling through Europe as a student, sneaking first-class ham sandwiches, and a short-lived European romance. After the pair part ways in Paris, he continues alone to Spain and decides to remain there. Danger soon finds him in Majorca's expatriate bar scene. After receiving warnings from a local bar owner, Savage has a tense encounter with a former New York mob boss living in exile. After being followed and threatened, he decides it's time to end his European affair.

The Chinese government reported a slight increase in its June factory activity, driven mostly by exports and demand tied to AI.

Then, yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed Fed Governor Lisa Cook to keep her job (for now) but gave the president broader authority to fire other federal officials.

About 3 million fewer people had Affordable Care Act insurance plans in February compared to last year. Much of the drop is likely due to the end of pandemic-era enhanced subsidies, which resulted in higher premiums. And ACA premiums are only likely to increase next year. Plus, starting tomorrow, Medicare will begin covering GLP-1 drugs for weight loss. And, as we prepare to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, we'll look back at the economic moments that defined the first 50 years of our nation.Every story has an economic angle.

Some mornings you wake up ready to solve the world's biggest problems. Other mornings you argue about whether sleeves are optional and accidentally stumble into a debate about the future of an entire city. Welcome to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.Moon returns from a weekend of Summerfest adventures looking suspiciously sleeveless after performing in Milwaukee and Michigan. Naturally, the gang immediately assumes his sleeves were abandoned somewhere across state lines. From there, things only get weirder.The crew dives into stories from Summerfest, why the Midwest might secretly know how to throw the perfect music festival, and why St. Louis deserves a festival that could rival the country's biggest events. That conversation somehow turns into a surprisingly thoughtful—and hilariously sarcastic—discussion about downtown St. Louis, why people avoid it, what could actually bring people back, and whether the Gateway City is getting a little unfairly roasted...or completely earning it.Then comes Moon's unbelievable hotel story.After grabbing a quick nap before a show, a woman walks into his hotel room thanks to a key mix-up. Instead of the hotel apologizing to him, the guest claims Moon was completely naked—which he absolutely was not. Cue one of the funniest lobby confrontations you'll hear this year as Moon loudly reminds everyone who the real victim was. It's awkward, ridiculous, and exactly the kind of story that somehow only happens to this show.Meanwhile, the Hubbard company outing turns into an unexpected obsession thanks to custom cowboy hats, leather goods, and one very enthusiastic mobile hat bar. The crew debates belts versus hats, Rafe accidentally becomes "wallet brothers" with a leather craftsman, and everyone agrees that giving adults arts-and-crafts somehow creates better office morale than any motivational seminar ever could.You'll also hear conversations about concerts, Kenny Loggins nostalgia, summer festivals, downtown development, touring life, travel disasters, baseball-adjacent apartment envy, and enough sarcastic commentary to keep HR slightly concerned—but not enough to schedule another meeting.As always, it's the random detours that make everything better. One minute they're discussing city planning, the next they're imagining luxury apartment life overlooking Busch Stadium before immediately returning to roasting each other for absolutely no reason.If you love smart conversations that refuse to stay serious for more than thirty seconds, you've found your people.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your morning and your favorite daily comedy show. Whether you're commuting, pretending to work, hiding from your responsibilities, or simply looking for a reason to laugh, we're glad you're here.Because if a discussion about missing sleeves, downtown revitalization, cowboy hats, and hotel room confusion somehow belongs in the same episode...well...that's just another perfectly normal daily comedy show around here.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Karen serves on the board of directors for the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association and helps connect Christian writers and speakers with ministry opportunities. Karen shares how God redirected her life from mathematics into writing, teaching her to simply say “yes” and trust Him to equip her for the work He called her to do. She explains how that obedience led to multiple book contracts and a ministry of writing resources for families, military households, women, and believers seeking peace and purpose.The conversation highlights Karen's book Stories of Faith and Courage from the Home Front, which features one story per day from 1755 to 2012, focusing on women, families, and children during America's wars rather than the battles themselves. Karen shares remarkable stories of courage, including women who served as spies, supporters, fundraisers, and protectors during the American Revolution.TS and Karen also discuss 52 Weekly Devotions for Families Called to Serve, a devotional designed for military families, first responders, missionaries, and others who live lives of service. Karen offers practical encouragement for families facing deployment, separation, uncertainty, and hardship, reminding listeners to trust God and cherish the moments they have together.The episode concludes with a look at Growing a Peaceful Heart, Karen's devotional focused on inner peace, peace in relationships, and becoming peacemakers in the world. Karen closes by encouraging listeners to celebrate the freedoms we have and thank God for them.Featured GuestKaren Whiting Author, speaker, ministry connector, and board member/content coordinator with the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association.Books MentionedStories of Faith and Courage from the Home Front52 Weekly Devotions for Families Called to ServeGrowing a Peaceful HeartTopics CoveredFaith and obedience to God's calling Christian writing and ministry networking Military families and deployment encouragement Women's stories from American history Faith, courage, service, and peacemaking Trusting God during hardship and uncertainty Honoring veterans and listening to their storiesConnect with Karen WhitingVisit: KarenWhiting.comTagsChristian Podcast, Karen Whiting, Faith, Courage, Military Families, American History, Christian Author, Family Devotions, Service, Peacemaking, Trusting God, Kingdom Crossroads

Major shifts to federal student aid kick in on July 1, including strict limits on how much graduate students can borrow from the federal government. The new loan caps raise questions about who can access graduate education in the U.S., who should pay for it, and whether the country's workforce pipeline can keep pace with the growing demand for highly-skilled professionals.

The market is tough, agents are stressed, and claws can come out. We get it. But being a jerk isn't going to make anything better, and this episode is our loving reminder of that. We are deep in summer and we just needed a little happy boost around here. So instead of another finger-pointy episode about what's going wrong, Katy and I sat down to share some genuine feel-good stories from the field. Stories about what happens when Realtors actually choose community over competition, even when the market makes that harder than it should be. This episode is the pep talk you didn't know you needed. Whether you are the listing agent, the co-op agent, the broker, or just someone who has been on the receiving end of a kind gesture, we think you will walk away from this one feeling a little lighter and a lot more inspired to be the agent people actually want to work with. Here's what we cover in this episode: How Alissa organized a "speed dating" listing tour with five agents she barely knew and what happened next Why reaching out to strangers in the MLS is not as scary as you think it is The story that went viral-ish: when the agent who lost the listing brought the buyer What to do when you lose a competing listing appointment to a friend Why being the thoughtful co-op agent who calls about the AC or the hole in the ceiling actually matters How listing agents can show up for buyer agents (and why it pays off) The LSU baseball ball signed by a retired player and why a Realtor friend made it possible What happens inside a luxury neighborhood when competing agents decide to run open houses together Why how you exit a brokerage matters just as much as how you enter one What brokers can learn from being gracious when agents leave If you have been feeling the pressure to compete instead of connect, this is the episode for you. Your reputation is one of the best tools you have, and being a good co-op agent is one of the fastest ways to build it. Key Quotes & Takeaways: "Being a jerk isn't going to make anything better." Alissa "In multiple offer situations, your reputation is one of the best tools you can have." Katy "You get more flies with honey." Katy "How do you want to be talked about? That agent is going to go to their new company and they're going to talk about you." Katy "People are starving for the good. We are just not sharing enough of it."

Brian breaks down his Bounce Fire system for building safe running mechanics from the ground up, why strong athletes like Sal who never sprint are actually at higher injury risk than deconditioned ones, how the nervous system is the real reason hamstrings pull, why cold plunges can shut down the nervous system for up to 24 hours before a game, the best strength training exercises for speed including trap bar deadlifts and overcoming isometrics, how he uses force plates and grip strength to gauge recovery, the role genetics play in athletic potential, why gymnastics is the best base sport for young kids, and the ACL injury connection to the menstrual cycle that most coaches don't know about.   Kula Sports Performance: https://www.kulasp.com ETS Performance: https://etsperformance.com   No BS 6-Pack Formula: https://nobs6pack.com Code: 6PACK for 50% off.

Na'im Lynn performed on the Kevin Hart Roast and is still talking about it a month later. In a recent podcast clip, Na'im claimed that Big Jay harbors a longstanding dislike for Kevin. Lynn said that the rivalry dates back to their early days in Philadelphia, alleging that Jay frequently talked negatively about Hart and his success as his career took off. Jay calmly addresses everything that was said and gives a possible reason for it. Of course Bobby defends his pal Jay perfectly. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

The hotel had a reputation long before they arrived.Stories of unexplained activity had circulated for years, centered around a man named Walter who reportedly died in one of the fourth-floor rooms. What began as an exciting paranormal adventure quickly became something much harder to explain.A member of the group experienced an overwhelming emotional reaction moments after entering the room. Fully charged equipment began failing at the worst possible times. Strange sounds echoed through empty spaces, and certain areas of the hotel seemed to carry an atmosphere that felt impossible to ignore.By the end of the night, nobody was laughing about ghost stories anymore.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHotel #GhostHunt #ParanormalInvestigation #HotelHaunting #GhostEncounter #HauntedWisconsin #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #SpiritEncounterLove real ghost stories?

What if falling asleep has less to do with forcing your mind to be quiet, and more to do with giving it a gentle place to land? In this deeply calming conversation, Darin sits down with author, meditation teacher, and creator of the wildly successful Nothing Much Happens sleep podcast, Kathryn Nicolai.

Through storytelling, imagination, sensory awareness, and gentle presence, we can interrupt anxious thought loops, cultivate inner safety, and reconnect with the creativity, peace, and wonder that have always lived within us. Sometimes the most profound healing begins not by doing more, but by allowing ourselves to simply be."

Long shots don't always pan out the way you hoped. Sometimes they catch fire. Sometimes they mug you. Shauna McGarry, a TV writer who can't shake her mother's thrift-store instincts, talks herself into a $2,500 used hot tub from a shady Craigslist dealer named Dan. Things don't turn out so great. David Crabb waitered through the days after 9/11 at one of the only open restaurants in lower Manhattan, listening to strangers unburden themselves over candlelight. By the end of the week he'd saved $900 for a U-Haul, and on the walk home from his last shift, drunk and carrying a magnum of wine, he felt an arm clamp around his neck and something jab into his ribs.

Bryan opens this conversation with Ty Branaman, Head of Training at the GRIT Foundation, by digging into a question that anchors everything else in the episode: what is trades education actually for? Ty's answer is unambiguous — it's about people, not information. He describes his own struggle with traditional, reading-heavy instruction and explains how that personal experience shaped his teaching method, one built around making concepts visible, relevant, and hands-on. Bryan builds on the idea, arguing that education is too often treated as a simple transfer of information when it's really a deeply human exchange, a kind of gift passed from one person to another through real, physical, kinesthetic experience rather than passive reading or watching. From there, the conversation turns to artificial intelligence, the central topic of the episode. Ty is careful to clarify that he isn't anti-AI; he uses it daily to clean up grammar, soften prickly emails, and refine images. His concern is specifically about AI replacing the human elements of teaching — the mentor a student looks up to, the instructor who visibly cares whether someone actually learns. Bryan adds a related warning about AI confidently producing false information, citing examples from law and HVAC alike, and introduces the idea of an "AI human sandwich," where human creativity starts the process, AI assists in the middle, and a human vets and rehumanizes whatever comes out the other end. Much of the discussion circles back to Ty's long-standing frustration with PowerPoint-driven training, and how AI threatens to make that problem worse by adding a synthetic avatar to read slides aloud instead of fixing the underlying issue. He recounts being written up at a previous job for skipping a PowerPoint lecture to take students into the lab, and shares a favorite teaching memory from Kalos, where an instructor named Burt used the Socratic method to walk trainees through assembling Unistrut by hand. Stories like the blower-wheel, set-screw lesson — where students learn far more by struggling through a mistake than by hearing the right answer recited to them — reinforce the episode's larger argument: hands-on repetition simply cannot be replaced by slides or scripts. The episode closes on the mission of the GRIT Foundation and the broader case for investing in human mentors rather than administrative shortcuts. Ty and Bryan talk about the cost and effort behind genuinely human-made training videos from creators like Craig Migliaccio and SkillCat, contrasting that investment with how easily AI could fake the same content for far less. Bryan shares a personal story about teaching basic electrical work in Haiti and the unforgettable reaction of an elderly student who lit up the moment her circuit worked, while Ty reflects on the mentors who shaped his own career. Both agree that AI can support trades education, but it can never substitute for a person who genuinely cares whether someone learns. Topics Covered Why trades education is fundamentally about people, not the transfer of information Where AI genuinely helps: grammar and tone, reassembling ideas, image editing, and basic legal or HR research The line Ty draws — using AI to assist a person is fine, using it to replace one is not The risk of AI confidently presenting false information, and why everything still has to be fact-checked Bryan's "AI human sandwich" framework for using the tool responsibly Ty's long-running critique of PowerPoint-heavy training and how AI avatars make the problem worse Classroom stories: getting written up for skipping a PowerPoint, the blower-wheel set-screw lesson, and Bert's Socratic-method exercise with Unistrut at Kalos The GRIT Foundation's commitment to hands-on, mentor-led learning over app-based or AI-generated content The human effort behind training videos from creators like Craig Migliaccio and SkillCat Personal mentorship stories, including a memorable lesson in Haiti and the mentors who shaped both guests' careers   Learn more about the GRIT Foundation at https://www.thegritfoundation.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Core inflation rose to 3.4% in May, according to this morning's PCE report out from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That's the highest since October 2023. Part of the rise is driven by service sector inflation, which should be more immune to shocks from tariffs and energy costs. We dig in.

Send us Fan MailThe Power of RelationshipsIn a world that moves faster every day, it's easy to underestimate the value of relationships.We spend countless hours pursuing goals, building careers, chasing success, and managing responsibilities. Yet when people reflect on the most meaningful moments of their lives, they rarely talk about trophies, titles, or accomplishments. They talk about people.Relationships have a unique ability to influence our mindset, our well-being, and our overall quality of life. A simple conversation, a listening ear, or a genuine connection can have a greater impact than we often realize.I was recently reminded of this during a conversation with someone named Hunter. What started as a casual discussion about hockey turned into a meaningful reminder of how powerful human connection can be. There was no agenda, no life lesson being taught, and no expectation of anything in return. It was simply two people having a conversation.That experience reinforced something I have believed for many years: relationships matter.10 Reasons Relationships Are So Important1. Relationships Give Us a Sense of BelongingEveryone wants to feel connected to something bigger than themselves. Strong relationships help us feel valued, accepted, and understood.2. Relationships Reduce StressLife can be demanding. Having people we can talk to often helps us manage challenges more effectively.3. Relationships Improve Mental Well-BeingMeaningful connections provide encouragement, support, and perspective during difficult times.4. Relationships Help Us GrowThe people around us influence our thoughts, habits, attitudes, and behaviors. Strong relationships often help us become better versions of ourselves.5. Relationships Build ResilienceWhen setbacks occur, supportive relationships can provide the strength needed to keep moving forward.6. Relationships Create PerspectiveSometimes a conversation helps us see things differently and reminds us that our current challenge is only part of a much larger story.7. Relationships Make Experiences More MeaningfulSuccess is more enjoyable when it can be shared with others. Challenges are easier when they are not faced alone.8. Relationships Encourage GratitudeMeaningful connections remind us to appreciate the people who positively impact our lives every day.9. Relationships Leave Lasting MemoriesPeople may forget what was said, but they often remember how someone made them feel.10. Relationships Can Change LivesSometimes a simple conversation, a kind gesture, or a few moments of genuine attention can have a lasting impact on another person.The Healthy Mindset ConnectionA healthy mindset is not built in isolation.Athletes, leaders, professionals, and high performers often focus on discipline, goals, habits, and accountability. While those things are important, relationships are often the foundation that supports them all.The people who encourage us, challenge us, listen to us, and believe in us can make a tremendous difference in how we think, perform, and respond to adversity.Never underestimate the power of a conversation.Never underestimate the value of making someone feel heard.And never underestimate the impact a positive relationship can have on another person's life.Sometimes the most meaningful moments are not the big events. They are the simple connections that remind us we are all human.Continue Your Mindset JourneyDiscover the power of the Healthy Mindset AI Platform at HealthyMindset.ai.Explore the Healthy Mindset AI Podcast for practical mindset strategies, mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, performance insights, and self-coaching tools designed for athletes, leaders, and workplace professionals.The Healthy Mindset AI Platform combines targeted assessments, personalized growth plans, digital mindset tools, accountability support, and 24/7 access to the Digital Mind Mike Hartman to help you build confidence, strengthen focus, improve consistency, and perform at your best.For additional support, Coaching On Demand with Mike Hartman provides personalized coaching focused on mindset development, goal achievement, leadership, confidence, and performance.Healthy Mindset for Athletes & Workplace Athletes Available on Amazon: Healthy Mindset for Athletes & Workplace AthletesASSESS.
