Podcasts about Sweet spot

John Chang breaks down the latest economic and market signals after a week of meetings in New York City. He explains how the temporary government funding deal both alleviates short-term pressures and extends broader uncertainty—impacting GDP, consumer spending, and investor sentiment. John also unpacks capital flows, interest-rate volatility tied to upcoming Federal Reserve changes, and why debt availability is improving even as risk factors persist. He contrasts Sun Belt oversupply with strong performance in low-construction markets, and ultimately argues that today's elevated cap rates and stable debt costs may represent a rare “sweet spot” for long-term investors.

Today we had the very exciting opportunity to host Håkan Agnevall, President and CEO of Wärtsilä. Håkan assumed the role of CEO in February 2021 and most recently served as President of Volvo Buses and a member of the Volvo Group Management. In his career, he has held senior management positions with ABB and Bombardier in power systems, robotics, and industrial automation. He has extensive international experience, having worked and lived in the U.S., Canada, Thailand, Brazil, Switzerland and Sweden. Wärtsilä is a global leader in technologies and solutions for the maritime and energy markets. In its Energy business, they offer flexible engine power plants, integrated energy-storage and optimization technologies, and services for the whole lifecycle of their installations. Its Marine portfolio includes engines, propulsion systems and hybrid technologies, integrated powertrain solutions, plus upgrades and lifecycle solutions for vessels. We were thrilled to hear Håkan's perspectives on the evolving energy, marine, and power landscapes. We covered a lot of territory in our conversation, starting with the decarbonization journey in global shipping, how the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) net-zero-by-2050 framework is reshaping vessel design and fueling strategies, and the growing importance of fuel flexibility and efficiency in an increasingly complex regulatory environment as the IMO's carbon-pricing decision delay risks a patchwork of regional rules across the EU, China, and beyond. Håkan walks us through examples of multi-fuel flexibility, how those choices influence vessel architecture, and how shipowners are adapting to the EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime rules, which could roughly double fuel costs by 2030. We discuss Wärtsilä's energy and power business, which provides baseload and balancing power solutions across the U.S. and globally, how data centers are driving off-grid generation, and how Wärtsilä's modular reciprocating engines offer speed-to-market advantages through fast ramp rates, redundancy, and minimal water needs. We explore Wärtsilä's lifecycle service model, the company's global culture and Finnish heritage, their emphasis on innovation, Wärtsilä's Sustainable Technology Hub in Vaasa, where thousands of customers visit each month, and much more. It was a fascinating look at the intersection of shipping, power, and technology, and we can't thank Håkan enough for sharing his time and insights. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by highlighting that this week was full of notable events. The first was the imminent reopening of the U.S. government, which will finally allow for the release of key economic data that could influence the early-December FOMC rate decision and lead to heightened bond market volatility. Next, he discussed the COP 30 Conference currently underway in Brazil, noting its key theme of “getting back on track with Paris levels.” He also pointed out Chevron's Investor Day taking place this Wednesday and shared his takeaways from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) Conference that he attended over the past few days, where two major themes were “affordability” and “speed to market.” Lastly, he noted this week marks the somber 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior, a tragic event in U.S. maritime history. Jeff Tillery also joined and added his thoughts throughout the discussion. We look forward to staying in touch with Håkan and as always, thank you for your support and friendship!

In this episode, we unpack the Tucker Kraft ACL news to zoom out on what “typical” return timelines really look like, even for pros with round-the-clock resources. We walk through why nine months remains a common benchmark across elite sport, then break down new research suggesting earlier returns can be safe when strict, objective criteria are met. You'll hear what those criteria look like in a world-class, highly supervised setting, plus the key limitations that matter for real-world athletes like those of you reading this and listening to this episode. We close with practical takeaways: why biology, physical preparedness, individualized guidance and programming, and objective testing, not calendar dates, should drive your green light back to performance.https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2025/11/03/packers-tucker-kraft-return-recovery-torn-acl-injury/87071490007/https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/9/667Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

In this session recorded at a recent Buffini & Company event, Brian Buffini discusses the importance of knowing your “sweet spot” when it comes to your business — that place where your genuine interests, skills, and opportunities intersect. He notes that this is not set in stone but can and often does change depending on the “season life” of life” you are in. Brian also shares powerful strategies on how to circle back to your authentic self so that no matter what season you are in, you'll be able to bring value, expertise and joy to not only your clients, but also to your own life. YOU WILL LEARN: How to define and lean into your sweet spot, even when the seasons of your life change. Why knowing and honoring your own unique gifts — instead of trying to be someone you're not — will help you create a business filled with passion and joy that lasts. Why new technology, especially AI, will enhance, but never replace, the value that you bring to your clients. NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “The magic happens when you find the sweet spot—where your genuine interests, skills and opportunities intersect.” — Brian Buffini “When we get busy and busier, we stop doing the very thing that we're best at.” — Brian Buffini “Our sweet spot is who we are, but we also have different seasons in life. What used to fire you up may not fire you up anymore.” — Brian Buffini “All I will tell you is AI technology is going to speed the real estate business up, not slow it down. And it'll intensify the referrals, not weaken it. Because in the world we're living in today, we're in more need of somebody to trust, not less.” — Brian Buffini "Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts.” — Brian Buffini itsagoodlife.com Hosted on Acast.
