Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Paul in Washington thinks we are taking the Texans lightly. Derrick Stingley Jr. is an elite corner and will likely be matched up against DK Metcalf.

At the end of 2025, Australian property investors were hearing two very different stories.   On the one hand, we've seen strong price growth across most capital cities; rents were still painfully high for tenants, and auction clearance rates were holding up surprisingly well.   On the other hand, we were being warned about rising unemployment, sticky inflation, higher building costs, and plenty of noise about what could go wrong in 2026.   So what's really happening beneath the headlines? And more importantly, what does it mean for investors, home buyers and property markets next year?   Today, I'm joined by Dr Andrew Wilson to unpack his annual review of our housing markets for 2025 and his forecasts for 2026.   Andrew doesn't deal in hype. He deals in data, long-term trends, and the realities of how our housing markets actually work.   If you want clarity instead of clickbait, and perspective instead of panic, you'll want to stay with us.   Takeaways    ·         2025 saw strong property price growth despite economic challenges. ·         Interest rates and economic factors significantly influence housing markets. ·         Building approvals for units increased, but house approvals faced challenges. ·         Rental market showing signs of growth with low vacancies. ·         Auction clearance rates are a positive indicator for future prices. ·         House prices in major cities saw significant increases in 2025. ·         Economic growth and job market stability support housing demand. ·         Rising building costs may constrain new housing supply. ·         2026 is expected to continue the trend of property price growth. ·         Affordability remains a concern, but lending practices ensure market stability.     Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

Patrick fields concerns about reverence, inclusion, and the struggles of Catholics navigating community shifts, challenging rigid mindsets while affirming the heart of Church tradition. Listeners share their anxieties, stories, and hopes; Patrick responds with candor, practical insight, and encouragement to remain faithful amid uncertainty. Audio: TSA has apparently known for years that Somalis were flying with suitcases of cash from Minnesota, overseas. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Thanks to John Soloman host of “Just the News, No Noise” - https://x.com/i/trending/2008966344377557114 (02:01) Mike (email) – Is it okay to dress casually when I go to Mass or Adoration? (03:28) Email - Am I being too rigid in my negative assessment of a situation where a monastery is offering the Eucharist to those who they know are not Catholic? (06:24) Derek - I am learning more about the Catholic Church through OCIA. I rely heavily on data and have been reading your book “Surprised by Truth”. Do you have any advice? (13:43) Deacons were not permitted to touch the consecrated host or even to act as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, absent a grave cause – (23:54) Dennis - We are losing attendance to Church. It scares me. I think we need to be devoted to the Eucharist. (29:52) Ed - I agree with you Patrick about the consecration and that a lay person shouldn't distribute Communion. At my Church, you have one priest consecrating the Eucharist and other priests distributing. Does your rule apply to them? (39:17) Stephanie - I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and mostly everyone is appropriately dressed for Mass. Not everyone has the wherewithal to buy a suit and I needed to talk to my husband about this. For those who can't afford nice clothes, they always seem to be presentable and in clean clothes. (43:22)

As a new year begins, clarity doesn't always come from adding more goals or commitments—it often comes from deciding what you're finally done carrying. In this episode, I'm sharing a candid, lighthearted reflection on the things I'm choosing not to do in 2026, shaped by lessons learned last year and a desire to move forward with more peace, intention, and confidence. This is an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider what you might be ready to release as you step into the year ahead. xoxo, Chelsi Jo . . . . . Something special is coming next week that builds on this exact theme—why some things finally stick, why others never do, and what it looks like to create systems that actually support your life and business long-term. Stay close.

Let's talk Venezuela - The idea that the US is just going to come in an turn everything rosy is dumb - overly simplistic thesis --- Sets up a bad global potential for overthrowing governments - where does it stop - The idea that US companies are going to go in there and drill and US is going to reimburse for costs? --- The country is allied with Russia and China - not US (at this time) - This is reminiscent of when we opened the doors to Cuba - we opened it up and no one benefited. Maybe this time will be different. - BUT Venezuela owns the largest proven oil reserves in the world, holding approximately 303 billion barrels as of the end of 2024, which is nearly 18–19% of global reserves.

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!To get the transcript and live access register at https://launch.zivli.com/cravings-resetToday we talked about something really important—why cravings get stronger during stressful seasons and why trying harder, being more disciplined, or “getting back on track” usually doesn't fix it.This isn't a motivation problem.And it's definitely not a character flaw.Cravings are often driven by stress circuits in the emotional brain that are formed and fire automatically. Once those circuits are activated, logic, plans, and good intentions don't stand a fair chance.That's why:“Just say no” doesn't workWhite-knuckling through cravings usually backfiresFood feels harder to manage when you're stressedInside today's training, you'll learn:What's actually happening in your brain and body when cravings hitCommon stressors you may not recognize Why stress makes sugar and comfort foods feel irresistibleHow calming the nervous system is the first step toward feeling back in control againNo food rules.No tracking.No pressure to be perfect.Just understanding—and a new perspective. If you haven't watched yet, start there.If you did attend live, the replay is a great one to revisit.

As 2025 comes to a close, we're taking an honest look back at Cruising in 2025: What We Got Right, What Surprised Us, What Missed the Mark at the year in cruising—what we got right, what genuinely surprised us, and what didn't quite live up to the hype. In this Unplugged episode, we talk through the trends we accurately predicted, the changes we didn't see coming, and the cruise lines that quietly over-delivered when no one was looking. We also dig into the ideas that sounded great on paper but fell short in real life, and how our own cruising habits, expectations, and mindset shifted over the past year.  We wrap things up by looking ahead to 2026—what we're excited about, what we're cautiously optimistic about, and what we're hoping cruise lines continue to get right. No hot takes for the sake of hot takes—just thoughtful reflection from a year at sea and where we see cruising heading next.

Christian thought he was ready for retirement. He just didn't realize how heavy the weight had been until he finally set it down.After more than 30 years in a high-stress, always-on role at a global chemical company, Christian retired and discovered something he didn't expect: the stress didn't disappear all at once. It slowly melted away, like taking off a 30-pound jacket he didn't even realize he'd been wearing. In this episode of Retirement Reality, Christian shares what the first 18 months of retirement have really felt like, both different and deeply liberating. He opens up about realizing work had become optional years before he actually left, navigating the mental shift from “always on” to fully unplugged, and why retirement gave him permission to finally live healthier and slower.But the heart of this conversation isn't spreadsheets or withdrawal strategies. It's about priorities. Christian reflects on watching his father delay retirement, losing his mother too soon, and making a conscious decision not to repeat that pattern. For him, retirement became less about maximizing wealth and more about maximizing time with his wife — cooking together, spending unstructured days side by side, and building a life rooted in presence instead of pressure.If you're financially prepared but emotionally unsure, Christian's story offers a steady, honest look at what actually happens after you step away, and why the freedom on the other side often feels lighter than you imagined.-Christian is not a client of Root Financial Partners, LLC and received no compensation for participating in this video.
