An extended U.S. government shutdown raises the risk for weaker growth potential. Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy Michael Zezas suggests key checkpoints that investors should keep in mind.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Today: Three checkpoints we're watching for as the U.S. government shutdown continues. It's Wednesday, October 8th at 10:30am in New York. The federal government shutdown in the United States has crossed the one week mark. But if you're watching the markets, you might be surprised at how calm everything seems. Stocks are steady. Bond yields haven't moved much, and volatility's low. It's more or less the scenario my colleague Ariana and I had talked about in anticipation of the impasse in Washington. We'd noted the potential for uncertainty for investors and market reaction depending on how long the shutdown would last. So that raises a big question: what, if anything, about this government shutdown could shake investor confidence and start moving markets? The question is worth considering. Prediction markets now suggest the most likely outcome is that the government shutdown will not end for at least another week. And as we've seen in past shutdowns, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to matter. That's because risks to the economic outlook start to accumulate, and investors eventually have to start pricing in a weaker growth outlook. There's a few checkpoints we're watching for – for when investors might start feeling this way. First, the missed paycheck for furloughed federal workers. The first instance of this comes in a few days. Less pay naturally means less spending. Studies suggest that spending among affected workers can drop by two to four percent during a shutdown. That's not huge for GDP at first; but it's a sign the shutdown is having effects beyond Washington, DC. Second, this time might be different because of potential layoffs. The administration has hinted that agencies could move to permanently cut staff — something we haven't seen before. Unions have already said they'd challenge that in court. But if those actions start, or even if legal uncertainty grows around them, it could raise the economic stakes. Third, we're watching for real disruptions to economic activity resulting from the shutdown. The last shutdown ended when air traffic in New York was curtailed due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. We're already seeing substantial air traffic delays across the country. More substantial delays or ground halts obviously impede economic activity related to travel. And if such actions don't coincide with signals from DC of progress in negotiating a bill to reopen the government, investors' concern could grow. So here's the bottom line: markets may be right to stay calm — for now. But the longer this shutdown lasts, the more likely one of these pressure points pushes investors to rethink their optimism. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review and tell your friends about the podcast. We want everyone to listen.

We explore why toddlers hit, bite, and grab at playdates and how to respond without shame or panic. Did you know - these behaviors are VERY common stage in the early years of development?! Research shows that these behaviors are actually very common in early childhood. Studies find that between 26% and 70% of toddlers show some form of physical aggression — hitting, biting, pushing, or scratching — depending on how it's measured.  And in real-life parent reports, around 50–60% of children ages 1-3 hit or lash out at least occasionally when frustrated.So first off.. not need to think you are failing or raising a psychopath. When your child hits, spits, or scratches at a playdate, it can feel mortifying — but these moments are actually powerful teaching opportunities. In this episode, I'll share 3 Playdate Reset Tips, including:How to remember what really matters, How to teach your child the new behaviors in a way that will finally STICK.How to get the end results of more FUN and EASY playdates, without any amount of panic.Don't forget, we'd be honored to have you share this episode with a friend.

Trauma is not a single moment. It is an ongoing dialogue between your brain, body, and environment. In this conversation, Dr. Mbemba Jabbi explains how neuroplasticity and affective neuroscience help us understand protective patterns like hypervigilance, shutdown, and dissociation. We explore the roles of the insula, amygdala, and cingulate networks in sensing threat, shaping emotions, and connecting brain states with bodily signals such as heart, gut, and breath. Dr. Jabbi also discusses research that associates early childhood trauma, including sexual trauma, with higher inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, while emphasizing that biology interacts with environment and change is possible. You will hear how sensory training, co-regulation, psychotherapy, and supportive practices may help repattern responses over time. This is a grounded, science-informed look at why survival strategies make sense in context and how compassionate, skills-based work can support nervous system health. If you or your clients live with complex developmental trauma, this episode offers language, frameworks, and first steps that respect lived experience and prioritize safety.   Timestamps: 0:00 Protective patterning and repeating environments 1:00 Meet Dr. Jabbi and her research lens 7:10 Brain circuits in emotion and stress 13:20 Insula, interoception, and body-brain links 18:00 Survival values and environmental context 26:00 Adaptive suppression vs. underdevelopment 40:00 Inflammation and childhood trauma (C-reactive protein) 49:00 Treatment implications and tracking biomarkers 56:00 Fast and slow fear pathways, behavior outputs 59:50 Key takeaways for practitioners and individuals 1:02:00 Repatterning for joy and post-traumatic growth 1:03:30 Where to practice the tools in the community Key Takeaways: Emotions are functional survival signals that reflect whole-body states. The insula, amygdala, and cingulate form networks that integrate sensory input with bodily responses. Protective outputs like numbness or shutdown are learned adaptations that supported safety. Studies associate early childhood trauma with elevated inflammation markers, while outcomes are shaped by environment and support. Neuroplasticity means skills, relationships, and practice can help repattern responses over time.

Where do we find absolute truth? We find truth in the Bible.  What God says is true, and it is true absolutely.  There is no wavering in God's truth.  Truth does not change according to polling data or by decisions handed down by Congress or the Supreme Court.  Why?  It is God's truth.  Truth is what God says.Main Points:1. We don't usually think of a belt as a piece of armor, but the belt was important because the breastplate was tied into it.  The belt even held the sword and the helmet when they were not in use.  It was the first piece of armor that was installed.2. The Apostle Paul gives us this image:  we should tie up all the loose things in our lives with the belt of God's truth.  If we are going to stand when attacked, we must have a firm grip on spiritual truth.3. Studies conducted by the Barna organization showed that only 22% of Americans believe in absolute truth.  It is no wonder so many people lose more spiritual battles than they win.  It's no wonder they get tripped up in Satan's schemes.Today's Scripture Verses:Ephesians 6:14 - “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.”John 18:37b-38 - "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”  “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. John 8:32 - “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Episode 81 A fire, a flawed science, and a state that still hasn't learned. In 1991, Cameron Todd Willingham was convicted of setting the house fire that killed his three young children. Despite a mountain of later evidence debunking the “arson indicators” used against him, Texas executed Willingham in 2004—long after leading fire scientists warned that the case rested on junk science. Two decades later, Texas is preparing to repeat history. On October 16th, the state is scheduled to execute Robert Roberson, a man condemned under similarly discredited forensic theories and medical misunderstandings that doomed Willingham. The very science that convicted him has since been proven false, yet the machinery of “justice” continues to grind forward. In this first installment of our Texas Justice series, we revisit the Willingham case: How old-school fire investigation methods created a template for wrongful arson convictions The experts who tried to stop an execution built on myth The political forces that refused to listen—and what that refusal means for Robert Roberson today Help Stop Robert Roberson's Execution!!!

Hillary Seiler joins us today to discuss the finances of athletes and NFL players. She shares her journey from personal financial struggles in college to building a career helping athletes, students, and employees improve their financial wellness. She shares how supporting friends who went pro in the NFL led her into creating financial literacy programs for professional teams, eventually expanding into universities and corporate America. She talks the lack of financial education for athletes, the misconceptions around their earnings, and the systems now in place to protect players from going broke.  We discuss... Hillary is a financial education coach who began working with pro athletes and later expanded to universities and corporate America. She was inspired by her own financial struggles during her mother's illness, which gave her perspective on money management. The NFL now mandates financial education sessions for rookies and younger players to prevent bankruptcy and poor financial decisions. Many athletes face misconceptions about their earnings, with most NFL players earning far less than the public assumes. Financial downfall is often tied to lack of education, poor money management, divorce, and being targeted for bad investments. Hillary teaches athletes to evaluate deals by requiring full business plans and consulting financial advisors before investing. Support systems and career planning are critical to helping athletes adjust to life after sports and avoid identity loss. Studies show Olympic silver medalists often stay motivated while gold medalists can struggle with depression and identity loss after reaching the pinnacle. Professional athletes and military veterans face similar challenges when retiring, often losing their sense of purpose. There has been debate about requiring athletes to save in pensions or annuities, but concerns remain about limiting free will. The NFL and NBA encourage saving with strong 401k matching programs, but players cannot access funds until age 45. The Pro Athlete Community (PAC) helps retired athletes manage money and avoid financial pitfalls. Despite education programs, some athletes still make costly mistakes or fall for scams, learning lessons the hard way.

Whether it's for the sake of comfort or maintaining good hygiene, many of us opt for taking a shower on a daily basis. Studies have shown it's the most popular shower frequency. Some swear by the virtues of a refreshing morning shower while others like theirs in the evening when winding down and getting ready for bed. But in actual fact, our bodies are pretty adept at self-cleaning. For instance, dead skin cells shed completely naturally! If you're someone who showers more than once a day, you may be stripping away too much sebum, which is a crucial component of the skin's protective barrier. Daily showers also stop us smelling bad, right? Is there a downside to washing too often? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Whole body vibration (WBV) therapy uses a vibration plate to trigger rapid muscle contractions, enhancing muscle activation, coordination, and circulation in a short, low-impact session Studies show WBV helps reduce total and visceral fat, though results are modest and most effective when paired with healthy eating and regular exercise Research highlights additional benefits, including improved bone density, muscle strength, balance, cognitive function, and reduced chronic pain in certain populations Not all vibration plates are the same — movement patterns, frequencies, and amplitudes vary, with devices like the Power Plate offering advanced tri-planar vibration technology WBV is generally safe for healthy adults but should be avoided without medical clearance in cases of pregnancy, recent surgery, cardiovascular issues, or severe osteoporosis

She began to share her sordid story: she was at the end of a complicated and frustrating life and felt hopeless.

We're back from summer and let's keep this season going!  Today we focus on Chapter 6, The Perils of Reform: 1920-1945, from Benjamin Park's book: American Zion.  Many threads connect the topics, but the contest between the modernity of the early part of the 20th century and resistance to change mark the struggle for the LDS church at this time.  Join us!

I sit down with Dr Yvonne Bombard, scientist focusing on improving access to genetic testing for personalized medicine, at Unity Health in Toronto, as well as being founder and CEO of The Genetics Advisor.  Dr Bombard is a problem solver at heart, always looking for ways to clear access for others.  Genetics Advisor, which has been around for many years, is meant to augment and/or support genetic counseling.  People using the tool have significantly high levels of knowledge, even compared with clinician driven sessions.  Studies also show it saves provider consult time by having the patients being empowered and part of the process in the journey.  We also get into the subject of ethnicity and ancestral background and relevance for interpretation, even touching on newborn screening and communicating with non-human species.

Today, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about DNA Methylation.  Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline. We are living for a shorter time and according to the World Health Organization, even though we have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, the average age for developing a serious illness is 63.1 years old. That means that we spend the last 16.2 years of our life ill. Aging is driven by DNA methylation, a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off. We use DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to measure biological age. DNA methylation changes as we age, to our detriment, and it's not just a surrogate marker of aging. DNA methylation appears to drive aging itself.  Foods that could lower your biological age: Liver [or liver capsules] Eggs Mushrooms [shitake or enoki] Leafy greens Pumpkin seeds Blueberries Turmeric Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Bio: Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in clinical research on DNA methylation using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her virtual and in-person Functional Medicine clinic.  She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing an 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that will help you live better and longer.  In her quest for personalized health care for all, she leads clients through her Younger You Program and has as a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths, and Healing Tonics.  Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine [IFM] and is an IFM Certified Practitioner.  She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. In this episode: How cancer hijacks our epigenetics. [4:25] Dr. Fitzgerald defines methylation and explains how it differs from DNA methylation. [9:05]  Foods that are important to improve methylation. [15:45] Foods that seem to direct epigenetic traffic. [17:39] Lifestyle pieces that could favorably influence DNA methylation in addition to the diet. [19:33] Foods that could lower your biological age. [25:46] Studies show that people who drink coffee live longer. [27:44] How to exercise to help prevent aging. [30:32] Foods to avoid that could be pro-aging. [33:13] Supplements that are recommended for anti-aging. [40:10] A backdoor approach for those who do not tolerate supplements well.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the technology services landscape, with leading reports from IDC, Gartner, and new offerings from ServiceNow pointing to a future where managing AI sprawl becomes as critical as delivering AI capabilities themselves. High-performing channel partners are leaning into AI specialization, driving measurable outcomes for customers and fueling double-digit growth despite market pressures. At the same time, ServiceNow's “AI Experience” platform aims to consolidate fragmented AI tools, offering a unified interface that can streamline operations and reduce complexity. The broader market, according to Gartner, is accelerating rapidly, with spending on generative AI projected to surpass traditional software in the coming years—meaning providers who fail to deliver outcomes risk being left behind.Yet the rise of AI isn't all progress. Studies from Stanford, European labor groups, and cybersecurity organizations reveal a governance crisis brewing in workplaces. Workers are reporting a surge of “workslop”—AI-generated content that looks like productivity but creates no value—costing companies billions. Algorithmic management is eroding worker autonomy, while surveillance and data risks undermine trust in employers. To compound the problem, employees are increasingly feeding sensitive data into AI systems without adequate training, raising new security vulnerabilities. These trends highlight the urgent need for policies, training, and governance frameworks to ensure AI adds value instead of chaos.The disruption is also spilling into specific industries. In translation, human professionals are already being displaced as AI-driven tools gain adoption. WhatsApp's newly built-in translation capability demonstrates how “good enough” AI can be enough for most users, sidelining human expertise except in fields requiring deep cultural or contextual understanding. The translation sector serves as an early warning sign: as AI grows more capable, other professions—including legal research, finance, and customer support—face similar pressures. The lesson for providers is to help clients identify where AI is appropriate and where human oversight remains essential.Meanwhile, major vendors are steadily encroaching into IT services, redrawing the lines of what MSPs can offer. Acronis is embedding patch management into its backup suite, Slack is introducing AI-powered ticket deflection, GoTo and Nexthink are fusing support and analytics, and IBM is shifting developer tooling to its hosted cloud. Each move chips away at traditional MSP offerings, putting pressure on providers to adapt. The opportunity lies in integration and governance—helping customers unify fragmented tools, ensure compliance, and deliver outcomes that vendors alone cannot. For MSPs, the message is clear: evolve toward higher-value services, or risk being sidelined by the very vendors you once partnered with.Four things to know today00:00 From Growth to Governance: IDC, Gartner, and ServiceNow Show Where AI Is Headed for Partners and Customers05:07 AI at Work: “Workslop,” Surveillance, and Data Leaks Signal Rising Governance Crisis08:42 From WhatsApp to Workflows: AI Translation Disruption Signals Broader Job Shifts Ahead11:33 Vendors Expand Into IT Services: Acronis, Slack, IBM, and GoTo Redraw the MSP Value Line This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Welcome back to the Homeward podcast.  I am honored to share today's conversation with the incredibly wise + paradigm-shifting David Bedrick.  David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame. Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption. Today's conversation serves as its own masterclass in unshaming. You'll hear David help me tease out my own inner critic and walk us through the unshaming process to find the flower (the gift) in our pain.  I can't wait for you to listen.  Links Mentioned:  Order The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7 Learn more on David's website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/  Follow him over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/    Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

Mable has struggled with insecurity her entire life. Her earliest memories involve her parents' consistent displeasure with her, valuing her outward appearance in social contexts over her well-being. This fear-driven parenting model shaped Mable's need to prove herself and escape the feelings of inadequacy instilled by her parents. After you toss in Adamic shame, it was a crippling double-whammy.

Send us a textWhy Campus-Wide Book Studies Might Backfire (And What to Do Instead)In this candid episode, educator and author Grace Stevens shares an unconventional perspective: why mandating her own book for campus-wide studies might do more harm than good. She explores the psychology behind teacher resistance to mandatory professional development, the difference between gifts and assignments, and offers practical alternatives that respect teacher autonomy while genuinely supporting wellbeing and reducing burnout.Key Points

What is the ongoing relevance of Baltic Studies? As the new academic year gets underway, we speak with three scholars in the field about what it means to study the Baltic region today. What challenges is the field facing, and what might the future look like? What does the broadening of Baltic Studies beyond the three Baltic states mean for the field? Jörg Hackmann, the current president of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, joins, along with Epp Annus and Karsten Brüggemann, leading researchers who bring post-colonial and historical perspectives to the table.Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Teaser:I've been having a lot of conversations with APs and other leaders recently and one of the common themes is how overwhelming the work is right now and how hard it can be to invest in self-care. Mara and I discussed some self-care strategies a couple weeks ago in episode 271. One thing we did not talk about is how to unplug from the day so your time away form work is… well, time away from work. We are going to get technical and discuss specific strategies and habits you can adopt to increase the likelihood that you can leave your work behind. There are a couple caveats to this: For many of you, there are job responsibilities you have in the evening (subs and buses) – and we will look at how to work from home in the healthiest way possible next week. The other caveat is these techniques are helpful but they are not a panacea. We'll touch a bit more on that as we dive into the show.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

(wish her well at mara@frederickbuskey.com or marabuskeyllc@gmail.com)Key Points Part 1Let's not sugar coat things – it's hard right nowThings probably aren't going to get much better in the near futureBurnout is an organizational problem (See also Helen Kelly in episodes 141 and 182)That said, there are things we can do to make it “suck less.”Today: transition home, next week: how to protect home time when you must work from homeOpening with encouragement to do 5mc (it is about reclaiming purpose and being able to say, today, I moved my school forward)Simple and fastGets you critical insightsBuilds relationshipsBuilds teacher capacitySponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction. But what does that actually look like? Look no further than IXL, the ultimate online learning and teaching platform for K to 12. IXL gives you meaningful insights that drive real progress, and research can prove it. Studies across 45 states show that schools who use IXL outperform other schools on state tests. Educators who use IXL love that they can easily see how their school is performing in real-time to make better instructional decisions. And IXL doesn't stop at just data. IXL also brings an entire ecosystem of resources for your teachers, with a complete curriculum, personalized learning plans, and so much more. It's no wonder that IXL is used in 95 of the top 100 school districts. Ready to join them? Visit http://ixl.com/assistant to get started.Key Points Part 2Begin with these three reflective questions:If burnout is an organizational problem, what's the problem?Imagine 10-20 years into the future. If you keep working the way you are now, and your self-care habits remain the same, what word(s) pop into your head?If you were out for three months, what would happen at work?A leading cause of fatigue and burnout is the inability to leave your work at work. If you want to be successful - as a leader and a person/family member/friend - you must figure out how to leave your work behind. Yes, this is easier said than done (speaking from experience) but we can develop some practices to help.Key components:Concluding the work dayTransitioning to homeEntering home modeConcluding the work dayReflect on the day, including identifying:Regrets and missed opportunitiesWins and celebrationsIf there is a serious issue that will be difficult to let go of, journal about it and do as much processing as you can. When you close the journal, close your mind. Also, do your journaling in a personal notebook you take home with you, not on a work-owned computer. When the issue intrudes on your thoughts at home, acknowledge and let it go.Identify the three most important priorities for the next day and time block them on your calendar.Transitioning to homeBe intentional about what you do with the trip home.You can use this as reflection time or professional learning (podcasts), but that undermines your transition. It is better to listen to professional podcasts on the way to work (that's why we release at 6 am instead of 3 pm) and listen to music or something that grounds you in your non-professional life on your way home.Entering Home ModeAs soon as you get home, change into casual non-work clothesCreate a specific routine to signal yourself that you are home, such as:Spend time checking in with a loved one (including pets)Imbibe your favorite food or beverage and do something relaxingExercise (consider stopping at a park to walk on your way home – even for five minutes. One step – literally- better than nothing; drive straight to the gym, do not pass Go, do not collect $200

In this episode of Your Dream Business, I talk about why case studies and testimonials are more than just nice extras — they're essential for building trust and showing what my business can really do. I share my TRUST method — Tell the problem, Roadblock, Uncover what they did, Show the results, Transformation, to help you gather rich, meaningful stories from your clients, not just vague praise. These are the stories that make your work feel real and show potential clients what's possible. I also urge you not to save case studies and testimonials for the end of a project only. I believe they should be woven into every part of your marketing: on your website, in emails, social media, sales pages—everywhere you communicate. By using them regularly, you demonstrate impact consistently, deepen trust, and turn past successes into powerful tools that help attract new business. Key Takeaways 1. Case Studies & Testimonials Build TrustUsing authentic stories of problems → solutions → results helps prospects see what's possible, and builds credibility more effectively than generic claims. 2. TRUST Method for Collecting Testimonials A framework you can follow to get richer, more persuasive testimonials: Tell the problem — What issue was the client facing before? Roadblock — What was stopping them from solving that problem? Uncover what they did — What actions did they take? What intervention / your service / product? Show the results — What measurable change happened? Transformation — How did life/business change for them more broadly beyond the numbers? 3. Use Case Studies Throughout the Marketing Process Don't wait until after a launch or at the end of a project—incorporate stories early (in prospecting, content, emails, etc.). Show incremental wins, before‑and‑after, behind‑the‑scenes: people connect to journey, not just destination. 4. Frequent Sharing is Key Regularly share testimonials & case studies on social media, website, email. Amplifies evidence of success over time—prospects see real proof, consistency, not just occasional highlights. 5. Be Proactive in Asking for Testimonials Make it part of your process: after milestones, at the end of services, or even in the middle when there's already visible progress. Ask clients in a way that prompts for detail: by using the TRUST structure, you get richer content. Practical Examples & Applications Integrate stories into email sequences and sales pages—not just “here's what people said at the end,” but early proof points. Use video or quotes with metrics (e.g. percent increase, time saved) to make results tangible.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores how deeply alcohol can become tied to our identity. Phrases like “wine mom,” “party girl,” or “craft beer enthusiast” may sound harmless, but they often reinforce the idea that drinking is part of who we are rather than something we do. Molly explains how self-schemas shape our beliefs, why identity disruption can feel unsettling when you change your drinking, and how to navigate the friction that comes with rewriting your personal story.You will learn about the psychology behind identity labels, the concept of status quo bias, and four evidence-based tools to help you separate fact from story, soothe the discomfort of change, and begin building a future identity that reflects your values.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why cultural labels around drinking can feel like part of your personalityHow self-schemas and alcohol expectancies reinforce drinking habitsWhy change can feel like loss and how to view it as growthThe role of status quo bias in resisting identity changeFour practical strategies to shift your identity and reclaim who you are without alcoholResources Mentioned:Studies on alcohol-related self-concept in Addictive Behaviors and the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs2015 article on identity disruption in the Journal of Substance Use and MisuseSunnyside app (recommended tool for tracking and building new drinking habits)Want to sign up for More Sober October?  Click here.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode overviewIn this special episode, hosts and Co-Chief Investment Strategists Kevin Headland and Macan Nia welcome Nathan William Thooft, Chief Investment Officer for Multi Assets and Equities at Manulife Investments. Nate shares his global perspective on markets, asset allocation, and the evolving investment landscape, with insights tailored for Canadian investors.---Key topics & insights1. U.S. economic outlook: resilience amid uncertainty· No imminent recession expected—Nate explains that while recent U.S. labor market data has softened, it's not likely a signal for an imminent recession. The U.S. economy's balance between manufacturing and services helps offset sector-specific weaknesses.· Policy uncertainty—Earlier legislative and tariff changes have caused “paralysis” in company decision-making, but clarity is expected to improve economic data in coming months.· New paradigm—The severity of future U.S. recessions may be more muted due to the economy's diversification.2. Inflation & tariffs: what's really happening?· Tariff impact delayed—Studies show tariffs typically take up to a year to affect inflation. Many imports are exempt, and companies are absorbing costs, leading to lower-than-expected inflationary effects.· Substitution effect—Companies are shifting imports to countries with lower tariffs, further dampening inflation pressures.  3. Regional equity markets: Europe & Asia· Europe's outperformance—European equities have surprised with strong returns in 2025. Nate attributes this to a sentiment shift away from the U.S. amid geopolitical uncertainty, but sees it as opportunistic rather than a long-term trend.· Active vs. passive management—Active management is especially valuable in regions like Europe and Asia, where opportunities are less covered.· China's mixed signals—Despite strong equity performance and policy support, China's fundamentals (consumer spending, industrial production) remain weak. Nate is cautiously optimistic, citing potential in technology and AI, and improving sentiment.4. Asset allocation: equities vs. fixed income· Modest equity overweight—Manulife portfolios remain overweight equities, reflecting solid fundamentals despite stretched valuations.· Fixed income caution—Less conviction in long-duration fixed income due to changing yield curve dynamics and rising term premiums.· Diversification beyond 60/40—Nate advocates for broader diversification, including alternative assets, to manage risk.5. Private Assets & Alternatives· Democratization of privates—The trend toward making private assets (infrastructure, private credit, real estate) accessible to retail investors is accelerating, as seen in recent industry partnerships.· Role in portfolios—Private assets offer diversification and potential downside protection, especially when traditional fixed income may be less effective.6. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in asset management· Efficiency & speed—AI is transforming research, data analysis, and commentary writing, but won't replace portfolio managers who bring creativity and intellectual capital.· Research revolution—AI enables analysis of vast data sets, improving productivity and decision-making.  7. Cryptocurrency: a legitimate asset class?· Growing acceptance—Nate views crypto as a legitimate asset class, though volatility and regulatory uncertainty mean exposures should remain modest and client-specific.· Regulatory trends—As demand grows, policy is likely to become more accommodating.8. Career advice for aspiring portfolio managers· Decisiveness—Don't wait for perfect information—make decisions with 60–80% of the data to avoid missing opportunities.· Passion & objectivity—Be passionate about investing, but unemotional in decision-making. The ability to cut losses and remain objective is crucial for success.---Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors· Stay diversified—Consider global opportunities and alternatives beyond traditional stocks and bonds.· Monitor policy impacts—Watch for delayed effects from tariffs and monetary policy.· Embrace active management—Especially in regions with less coverage and more inefficiencies.· Explore private assets—As access expands, these can enhance portfolio resilience.· Leverage technology—AI will increasingly support research and efficiency, but human insight remains essential.---Links & Resources · Listen to the episode: Investments Unplugged Podcast · Learn more about Manulife Investments: Manulife IM Canada---Share & SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.---For informational purposes only.

Bad leadership doesn't just hurt engagement. It can literally hurt people. Studies show that working under a poor leader is one of the leading causes of stress, contributing to health issues like cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, great leaders don't just make work enjoyable. They shape culture, values, and even society itself. In today's Leadership Spark, I explore why leadership matters more than ever and what it will take to be a leader in the future. I share insights from my extensive research, including interviews with 140 CEOs from some of the world's biggest organizations and a global LinkedIn study with nearly 14,000 employees. Together, these conversations reveal how leadership is being redefined in the face of AI, globalization, and the changing expectations of employees, and why every leader needs to rethink their role as a lighthouse for the future. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
