Thin in (back) in en als je niet mee doet, ben je niet belangrijk... Wie een beetje heeft opgelet, heeft de nieuwe Netflix hit serie: 'Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model' gezien. Een modern kijkje achter de schermen van de gelijknamige serie die begin 2000 de levens van miljoenen jonge meiden overnam. Zij zagen op TV dat ongeacht je huidskleur, gewicht en achtergrond, iedereen de mogelijkheid had model te worden. Dachten zij... In de werkelijkheid liet de serie zien hoe vreselijk meisjes werden behandeld. Van fat-shaming tot het normaliseren van eetstoornissen tot seksueel misbruik dat werd opgenomen en uitgebuit zodat de hele wereld het kon zien. Het ultieme doel was om met een mooie foto voor je portfolio en een modellencontract naar huis te gaan, maar ‘Glits and Glamour' was ver te zoeken. In deze aflevering bespreken we de invloed die de serie op ons heeft gehad, hoe we misschien zijn opgegroeid met de ideologie dat ‘slank zijn' in is en hoe het streven naar inclusie 23 jaar geleden – toen de serie werd uitgezonden – terug te zien is in de huidige samenleving. Was het een weerspiegeling van die tijd of waren mensen echt zo slecht? Find out...

This is a new sermon series titled “Strange Encounters of the Divine Kind” from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. The Scripture is 1 Kings 19:1-18 Elijah runs to Mount Horeb 19 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, how he had killed all Baal's prophets with the sword. 2 Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah with this message: “May the gods do whatever they want to me if by this time tomorrow I haven't made your life like the life of one of them.” 3 Elijah was terrified. He got up and ran for his life. He arrived at Beer-sheba in Judah and left his assistant there. 4 He himself went farther on into the desert a day's journey. He finally sat down under a solitary broom bush. He longed for his own death: “It's more than enough, Lord! Take my life because I'm no better than my ancestors.” 5 He lay down and slept under the solitary broom bush. Then suddenly a messenger tapped him and said to him, “Get up! Eat something!” 6 Elijah opened his eyes and saw flatbread baked on glowing coals and a jar of water right by his head. He ate and drank, and then went back to sleep. 7 The Lord's messenger returned a second time and tapped him. “Get up!” the messenger said. “Eat something, because you have a difficult road ahead of you.” 8 Elijah got up, ate and drank, and went refreshed by that food for forty days and nights until he arrived at Horeb, God's mountain. 9 There he went into a cave and spent the night. The Lord's word came to him and said, “Why are you here, Elijah?” 10 Elijah replied, “I've been very passionate for the Lord God of heavenly forces because the Israelites have abandoned your covenant. They have torn down your altars, and they have murdered your prophets with the sword. I'm the only one left, and now they want to take my life too!” 11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand at the mountain before the Lord. The Lord is passing by.” A very strong wind tore through the mountains and broke apart the stones before the Lord. But the Lord wasn't in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord wasn't in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord wasn't in the fire. After the fire, there was a sound. Thin. Quiet. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his coat. He went out and stood at the cave's entrance. A voice came to him and said, “Why are you here, Elijah?” 14 He said, “I've been very passionate for the Lord God of heavenly forces because the Israelites have abandoned your covenant. They have torn down your altars, and they have murdered your prophets with the sword. I'm the only one left, and now they want to take my life too.” 15 The Lord said to him, “Go back through the desert to Damascus and anoint Hazael as king of Aram. 16 Also anoint Jehu, Nimshi's son, as king of Israel; and anoint Elisha from Abel-meholah, Shaphat's son, to succeed you as prophet. 17 Whoever escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill. Whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. 18 But I have preserved those who remain in Israel, totaling seven thousand—all those whose knees haven't bowed down to Baal and whose mouths haven't kissed him.”

Ben and Andrew discuss the global memory shortage and answer a listener's question: how did this happen? Topics include: What memory chips have in common with logic chips, why Intel left the memory market in the 1980s, how the international shipping market explains today's shortage, how major players will address the problem going forward, possibly with some help from the Chinese. From there: A look at the “thin” future of AI computing as memory and performance takes precedent, AI computing that will still be done on device, and Apple's AI strategy. At the end: Responses to Shopify concerns in the AI era, a question about the future of brands as AI finishes what digital advertising started, Shopify preferencing its own AI tools, and a looming test of Apple's commitment to the Vision Pro.

What if hope isn't something you wait for… but something you train for?In this powerful episode, Victoria invites Christian women into a completely different way of thinking about hope. Not as a fleeting emotion. Not as wishful optimism. But as a spiritual discipline that requires attention, intention, and daily care.Because here's the truth: you can love God deeply and still feel depleted. You can have faith and still wrestle with discouragement. And that doesn't mean you're failing — it means there's an area of your inner garden that needs tending.In this conversation (Part 3 of the Tending the Inner Garden of Your Mind series), Victoria walks you through a simple but transformative pathway:First, recognize where hope has withered in your life — without shame.Second, replant truth in that very place using Scripture.Third, practice hope through small, faithful, daily acts that build emotional and spiritual resilience.You'll discover why awareness is the first step to renewal, how repetition literally wires belief into your brain, and why rhythm — not reaction — is what helps hope grow strong and sustainable.This episode is deeply practical, biblically grounded, and emotionally honest. You'll walk away with tangible steps to strengthen your thought life, reorient your focus, and cultivate a hope that lasts — even when circumstances don't change overnight.If you've been feeling discouraged, anxious, or quietly worn down… this one is for you.Join the INSIDERS' SECRETS group for behind-the-scenes takeaways with Victoria as she writes the new Sacred Thinking devotional.

Life rarely comes together the way we expect. Having hope in that confusion can feel messy, fragile, and unfinished—and that's exactly where it becomes real. In this conversation, Kirby Kelly shares the unfolding of her life and what impacted her learning to have confident hope. A hope that is not wishful, but proven and secure. We get honest about faith in hard seasons, healing that takes time, and what it looks like to keep showing up when hope feels thin. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agencies aren't fragile because of bad systems but because everything runs through the founder. One unexpected hit and the whole thing wobbles. Today's featured guest shares the real-world test no agency owner ever wants: a hemorrhagic stroke that took him out overnight. What happened next is the part every agency owner needs to hear. Because his business didn't collapse. It kept moving, clients stayed, deals closed, and trust carried the weight. If your agency can't function without you, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar. Brian Franks is the founder of Where Eagles Dare, a premium branding and storytelling agency working with major retail brands like American Eagle and Five Below. He spent 20+ years rising to VP of Creative at American Eagle before launching his agency over a decade ago. In this episode, we'll discuss: Getting comfortable with a hard question How Brian built a resilient agency Why your network is the real asset Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

If you disappeared for 30 days (hospital, burnout, family emergency), would your agency come back stronger, the same… or on fire? Most agency owners don't like that question. Because deep down, they already know the answer. This is a question every agency owner should ask, especially if you're doing $1M–$10M, stuck in fulfillment, carrying everything in your head, and telling yourself, "I'll fix the systems later." Brian didn't plan to test his agency this way. In February 2024, he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and ended up in the ICU for a brain drain. It took weeks of recovery. No warning. And his agency didn't collapse. Here's why that matters. Brian Didn't Build a "Big" Agency. He Built a Resilient One. Brian spent 20 years at American Eagle, rising from graphic designer to VP of Creative. He worked with massive agencies and saw the billings. He also saw the waste and understood what actually mattered. So when he launched Where Eagles Dare, he didn't chase headcount or ego. He sought to build: A small, senior team A premium positioning Deep relationships, not vendor contracts An agency designed around his strengths That's the part most founders miss. They scale complexity instead of clarity. The Lie Agency Owners Believe A lot of agency owners think freedom comes after scale. More clients → more people → more systems → someday freedom. In reality, that path usually leads to: Team chaos Thin margins Constant Slack pings And a founder who can't unplug without guilt Brian flipped that by staying scrappy, limiting active clients, staying close to the work that mattered, and delegating the rest to people he trusted for years. So when life punched him in the face, the agency stepped up. Your Network Is the Real Asset When Brian went down, his network took over. A former American Eagle CMO stepped in to help lead. His wife helped close a major Five Below deal. Longstanding client relationships stayed solid There was no panic, mass client churn, or revenue freefall. That doesn't happen by accident. That happens when you: Play the long game Treat relationships like equity Build trust before you need it Most agencies don't fail because of bad marketing. They fail because everything depends on the founder. The Question You Can't Ignore If you were gone for a month, would your agency be worse, the same, or better? If the answer scares you, good. Because it means you're still early enough to fix it. The Real Goal Isn't Scale. It's Control Brian's story isn't about hustle or heroics. It's about building an agency that: Pays you well Respects your health Doesn't collapse without you Still excites you creatively That's the real win. And if you're tired of being the bottleneck, you're stuck in fulfillment, referrals are your only growth plan, or you're not paying yourself what you should… Then it's time to rebuild. Not bigger, but smarter. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

With US markets closed for Presidents' Day and much of Asia shut for Lunar New Year, trading was thin yesterday and overnight, yet European equities still managed to edge higher. Swiss GDP data showed a slight rebound in Q4, although overall growth for 2025 remained below the historical average. Geopolitical developments also shaped sentiment, as investors digested the outcomes of the Munich Security Conference. Meanwhile, talks between Ukraine and Russia, as well as between Iran and the US, are taking place in Geneva today — highlighting how global politics continues to steer markets and keeping oil and gold firmly in the spotlight. On today's show, we were also joined by Manuel Villegas from Next Generation for an update on the crypto world, which has had a tough start to the new year.(00:00) - Introduction: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (00:31) - Markets wrap-up: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content (06:29) - Digital Assets: Manuel Villegas, Next Generation Research (10:44) - Closing remarks: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content £Would you like to support this show?

The Deadly Price of Being Thin: GLP-1s, Wegovy & the Weight Loss Trap Why are people literally dying to be thin? In this eye-opening episode of The Karel Cast, we dive deep into the dangers behind the newest weight-loss craze—GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic. While they promise miracle results, these injections are linked to serious side effects, including hundreds of deaths. From the dark history of Fen-Phen and Dexatrim to today's injectable solutions, we expose the medical risks, the psychological toll, and the false hope sold to millions who simply want to lose 30 or 40 pounds. Is being thin worth risking your pancreas, gallbladder—or your life? PLUS: It's time to talk about E-scooters, E-bikes, and other mobility devices that are flooding public spaces and hospitals. Who's regulating them? And what can we do about the growing risks?

The cost of perfection left me perfectly exhausted. Be thin, but not too thin. Be confident but not overly confident. Be successful, but not too successful. If you're with me and you experience the pressure to be perfect, this is a perfect paradox—and it is time to dump the impossible standards that are destroying your mental health and that are so tied to eating disorders. In this episode, I'm diving into the relentless pressure to be perfect and how it's literally rewiring your brain to keep you stuck. Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or you've been on this path for years, perfectionism might feel like both an old friend and your biggest obstacle. And when you couple perfectionism with the pressure from culture and society to be Instagram-ready? The output you receive is simply exhaustion. You're exhausted, sis. And trying to live up to these impossible standards. But today, we're going to dissect this. We're going to look at what science says about breaking free. Because you don't just have to take my word for it—research shows your brain can actually change. In this episode, you'll discover: The impossible standards we're all trying to live up to (and why they're literally impossible) The shocking statistics: 68% of individuals with eating disorders display clinically significant perfectionism Why perfectionism often appears YEARS before any eating disorder behaviors The deep roots of perfectionism: family dynamics, trauma, social media (users who spend 3+ hours/day are 60% more likely to develop body image issues) The neuroscience: How perfectionists have heightened activity in the brain's "error detection center" How altered serotonin and dopamine systems make it harder for perfectionists to feel "good enough" or satisfied The vicious cycle: threat detection → anxiety → perfectionist behaviors → temporary relief → reinforced neural pathways The HOPE: How mindfulness, self-compassion, and exposure to imperfection can actually change your brain Why true recovery happens when you stop trying to do it perfectly and start doing it honestly A powerful devotional insight: "God won't bless who you pretend to be" The truth: Your worth isn't measured by impossible standards—it's measured by your courage to show up If you're tired of being tired, if you're exhausted from trying to be "perfect," if you feel stuck in the perfect paradox—this episode will give you both the science and the hope you need to break free. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

Alex is a qualified International Mountain Leader, Polar Guide, and a professional Photographer based in St. Moritz, Switzerland. From scaling the world's highest peaks to leading expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica, she thrives where the wild meets the extreme. Her passion for high-altitude exploration took her on a relentless quest; climbing the highest mountain on every continent, culminating on the summit of Mt. Everest in 2018. She became the first ever Hungarian to climb the Seven Summits. This journey ignited her mission to guide others through the raw beauty of the mountains and beyond. In the winter, she guides private snowshoe and fat bike around St. Moritz; in the summer, she leads exhilarating hiking and mountain biking adventures across the Alps. Between her Alps seasons, she's found working in the Polar regions (Antarctica: guide, zodiac driver, lecturer and lead crevasse rescue guide. Arctic: guide, zodiac driver, lecturer and polar bear guard) Her expertise extends far beyond Europe, guiding bespoke expeditions across the globe. An endurance athlete at heart, Alex is always chasing the next adventure—whether Polar ski crossing, racing mountain bikes, or pushing limits in the mountains. As a professional photographer and drone pilot, she uses her lens to capture the world's most remote landscapes, advocate for environmental conservation, and document the stories of the Polar regions. Her work is deeply inspired by mountains, polar history, pioneering female explorers, and the delicate balance of nature. In her recent book: Beyond the Seven Summits: Finding Strength Where the Air is Thin, Alex shares her experiences of climbing these mountains, and she also explores the journey that shaped who she is today: all the highs and lows. I hope to bring these peaks closer to readers by including short historical notes alongside each climb and sharing everything she learned along the way. The book is also rich in photographs, helping to bring both the stories and these beautiful mountains vividly to life.

Many business owners assume the only way to improve the bottom line is to sell more, but this conversation flips that belief on its head. Drawing from real client stories, they reveal how growing revenue can actually shrink profits when pricing and expenses aren't managed intentionally. The heart of the episode centers on pricing—specifically why most entrepreneurs underprice their products and services. Robert walks through the most common pricing mistakes (cost-plus pricing, competitor-based pricing, and penetration pricing) and explains why none of them account for true value. Using everyday examples and a powerful auction story, they unpack the psychology of pricing and show how price communicates value, trust, and credibility to your customers. Finally, they connect profitability to what matters most at home. When margins are thin, stress goes up, hours increase, and marriage pays the price. Healthy profit margins create margin in life—allowing business owners to reinvest, reclaim time, and reduce pressure on the family. The episode ends with a simple, practical assignment to calculate whether your business is hitting the 15% net profit benchmark—and how small pricing adjustments can create immediate relief. Key Takeaways More sales don't guarantee more profit Revenue can increase while profit margins shrink if pricing and expenses aren't managed intentionally. Your price sends a psychological signal Pricing communicates value and credibility. Underpricing often creates skepticism—not loyalty. The most common pricing strategies are flawed Cost-plus, competitor-based, and penetration pricing ignore the true value you deliver. 15% net profit is the minimum target After paying yourself and all expenses, your business should retain at least 15% of revenue as net profit. Raising prices is the fastest way to grow profit Price increases go straight to the bottom line without adding marketing costs, staff, or hours. Underpricing creates stress at home Thin margins force longer hours and constant hustle—stealing time, energy, and peace from your marriage. Small price increases can have massive impact A 5–10% average price increase can be enough to restore healthy margins.

Three Chinese manufacturers ranked among world's top 20 by sales for 1st time三家企业首度跻身全球销售额前二十In a milestone for China's semiconductor industry, three Chinese equipment manufacturers have ranked among the world's top 20 by sales for the first time in 2025, according to data from Japanese research firm Global Net.日本研究机构Global Net最新数据显示，中国半导体产业在2025年迎来里程碑式突破：首次有三家中国设备制造商凭借销售额跻身全球前二十强。This marks an increase from just one company in the pre-stricter United States-government-restriction era of 2022, underscoring China's accelerated progress in bolstering the domestic supply chain.这标志着自2022年美国实施更严格出口管制前仅有一家企业上榜以来，中国在强化本土供应链方面正加速取得进展。The progress is an outcome of Chinese companies' hard work and big investment in beefing up technological prowess, but a gap still exists in core equipment such as lithography machines, and more efforts are needed to achieve breakthroughs, experts said.业内专家指出，这一进步源于中国企业持续投入研发、努力提升技术实力，但在光刻机等核心设备领域仍存在差距，需持续发力以实现关键突破。The sales ranking reveals a climb for Naura Technology Group, which jumped from eighth place in 2022 to fifth in 2025. It now only trails global giants ASML, Applied Materials, Lam Research and Tokyo Electron.排名显示，北方华创科技集团股份有限公司从2022年的第八位跃升至2025年的第五位，目前仅次于全球巨头阿斯麦、应用材料、泛林集团和东京电子。Founded in 2001, Naura has not yet disclosed its annual revenue for 2025, and Global Net based the ranking partially on estimated data. Financial services provider Suntime compiled forecasts from multiple securities companies to estimate Naura's revenue to stand between 46.8 and 52 billion yuan ($6.74 billion-$7.49 billion) in 2025.北方华创成立于2001年，尚未披露2025年全年营收，Global Net的排名部分依据预估数据。金融服务商赛美特综合多家券商预测，估计其2025年营收将在468亿至520亿元人民币（约合67.4亿至74.9亿美元）之间。New to the list at 13th place is Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc China, or AMEC, whose etching equipment comes close to the cutting edge.中微半导体设备股份有限公司（简称“中微公司”）首次上榜即位列第十三位，其刻蚀设备已接近行业先进水平。In chipmaking, etching is the key process of selectively removing unwanted material layers from a silicon wafer to engrave precise 3D patterns, circuits and transistor structures.在芯片制造中，刻蚀是通过选择性去除硅晶圆上不需要的材料层，以精确雕刻三维图案、电路和晶体管结构的关键工艺。Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment, which specializes in lithography machines that "print" circuit patterns onto silicon wafers, secured the 20th position. While acknowledging generational gaps with market leader ASML, the Shanghai-based company's presence highlights China's domestic capability in this most critical and challenging segment.专门从事将电路图案"印制"到硅晶圆上的光刻机业务的上海微电子装备股份有限公司位列第二十位。尽管承认与市场领导者阿斯麦存在代际差距，但这家上海企业的上榜凸显了中国在这一最关键且最具挑战性环节的本土化能力。Expanding the list to the top 30 would include two more Chinese firms — ACM Research and Hwatsing Technology.若将榜单扩大至前三十名，还将包括盛美半导体和华海清科两家中国公司。This collective ascent is widely viewed as a direct response to US-led export controls on advanced semiconductor technologies, which catalyzed China's drive for greater self-sufficiency in chipmaking tools.这一集体跃升被广泛视为对以美国为首的先进半导体技术出口管制的直接回应，这些限制推动了中国在芯片制造工具领域追求更高的自给率。Roger Sheng, vice-president of research at US market research company Gartner, said: "It's fair to say that Chinese companies' technological gap with international industry leaders is continuously narrowing. This progress has provided strong support for domestic chip manufacturers in their technological upgrades and production expansion efforts, even amid restrictions on access to US technology and equipment."美国市场研究公司高德纳副总裁盛陵海表示："可以公平地说，中国企业与国际行业领导者的技术差距正在不断缩小。即使在美国技术和设备获取受限的情况下，这一进展也为国内芯片制造商的技术升级和产能扩张提供了有力支撑。"The manufacturing of advanced chips involves over 1,000 process steps, each requiring specialized equipment. Chinese suppliers can now cover equipment for almost every stage, including deposition, etching and cleaning. This burgeoning ecosystem includes a wave of emerging startups, experts said.先进芯片制造涉及超千道工艺步骤，每一步都需要专用设备。专家称，中国供应商现已能提供包括沉积、刻蚀、清洗等几乎各环节的设备，蓬勃发展的产业生态中还包括一批新兴初创企业。Yin Zhiyao, chairman and general manager of AMEC, said at a meeting in May 2025 that the company's product portfolios include 30 percent of all the integrated circuit equipment categories, and it aims to collaborate with partners to offer 60 percent of all high-end IC equipment categories over the next five to 10 years.中微公司董事长兼总经理尹志尧在2025年5月的一次会议上表示，公司的产品组合已覆盖集成电路设备类别的30%，目标是在未来五到十年内与合作伙伴共同提供60%的高端集成电路设备类别。Yin said that AMEC would soon complete the development of more than 20 types of thin-film equipment that are subject to international export restrictions to China, and the company aims to finish the development of nearly 40 thin film equipment by 2029.他透露，中微即将完成20余种受国际对华出口限制的薄膜设备开发，并计划在2029年前完成近40种薄膜设备开发。Thin film equipment in chipmaking refers to specialized machinery used to deposit atomic-level layers of conductive, insulating or semiconducting materials onto silicon wafers.在芯片制造中，薄膜设备指用于在硅晶圆上沉积原子级导电、绝缘或半导体材料层的专用机械。China's massive domestic market, now the world's largest for chipmaking equipment, also provides a powerful launchpad. The global semiconductor industry association SEMI, which has more than 3,000 member companies, estimated that worldwide sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment would reach $133 billion in 2025, surpassing the previous record of $104.3 billion in 2024 and setting an all-time high.中国庞大的本土市场——现已成为全球最大的芯片制造设备市场——也为产业发展提供了强劲动力。拥有超过3000家会员企业的全球半导体行业协会SEMI估计，2025年全球半导体制造设备销售额将达到1330亿美元，超越2024年创下的1043亿美元纪录，再创历史新高。lithography machines /lɪˈθɒɡrəfi məˈʃiːnz/光刻机etching equipment /ˈetʃɪŋ ɪˈkwɪpmənt/刻蚀设备cutting edge /ˈkʌtɪŋ edʒ/尖端/前沿silicon wafer /ˈsɪlɪkən ˈweɪfə/硅晶圆integrated circuit /ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪd ˈsɜːkɪt/集成电路thin-film equipment /θɪn fɪlm ɪˈkwɪpmənt/薄膜设备conductive /kənˈdʌktɪv/导电的insulating /ˈɪnsəleɪtɪŋ/绝缘的

Jennifer Welch of the hit podcast ‘I've Had It' joins Joanna Coles as the news cycle spins completely out of control—from Don Lemon's arrest and what Welch calls a chilling test case for silencing independent journalists, to the sudden flood of Epstein files, DOJ lawfare, and Trump's deep, decades-long vendetta against the press. Welch dissects the masculinity myth at the heart of MAGA, the submissive strongman worship that props it up, and the evangelical culture that looks away from abuse while preaching moral authority. Along the way, Welch connects grift, grievance, and repression into a single operating system powering Trumpism—and asks the question hanging over all of it: If this is Trump's authoritarian testing phase, what comes next when the guardrails finally give?

A large part of the cases of people detained — at times unlawfully — by federal immigration officers has played out in the courts. MPR News has reported that the federal government has quickly moved detainees to other states. That's made it difficult for families and attorneys to locate them. And judges from across the Midwest are coming in to help keep up with a constant stream of challenges to those detentions. MPR News host Kelly Gordon spoke to Gloria Contreras Edin, an immigration lawyer based in St. Paul, about those challenges.

Automotive supply chains are no longer being reshaped by crisis. They are being reshaped by clarity, and clarity is forcing hard choices.In this episode of the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast, Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts are joined by Paul Eichenberg, Chief Strategist and author of The Road Ahead: Five Key Predictions for the Global Automotive Industry in 2026, for a blunt, reality-check conversation about what lies ahead for suppliers.The industry has moved past the chaos of shortages and disruptions, but that does not mean conditions are improving. Flat volumes. Thin launch schedules. Policy volatility. Long-standing assumptions that once protected supplier business models no longer apply.Paul makes the case that 2026 is not about recovery. It is about reckoning. Growth will not lift all boats. Outgrowth will be selective. Capital allocation, portfolio focus, and strategic intent will determine who wins and who fades.This conversation challenges automotive leaders to confront the most dangerous assumption still in play: that the industry is operating under the same rules it always has. The leaders who succeed in 2026 will be decisive, intentional, and willing to make hard bets instead of spreading resources thin.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy flat volumes expose weak supplier strategiesThe end of “a rising tide lifts all boats” thinkingWhat outgrowth really means in a 0–1% marketCapital allocation as the ultimate strategy leverWhy the next decade is the hybrid decadePortfolio focus vs being all things to all customersWhy clarity, not comfort, defines 2026 leadershipFeatured GuestName: Paul EichenbergTitle: Chief Strategist, Automotive IndustryAbout: Paul is a seasoned automotive strategist and industry advisor with decades of experience supporting OEMs and suppliers through major market transitions.

Bracketologist Jerry Palm breaks down where SLU Billikens basketball stands at 21–1, the impact of a weak strength of schedule, and why there is little margin for error without an A-10 title. He also looks at Illinois' seeding outlook, Missouri's uphill at-large case, projected NCAA Tournament matchups in St. Louis, and how mid-majors stack up against power conferences in the current NIL and money driven landscape.

The experts discussed whether it is more costly to have thin or fat cows going into the calving season. Thin cows are generally more costly because they are at high risk of having calving issues. Determining when to be aggressive with supplementation is important when addressing thin cows. The team also answered a listener’s question regarding weak calves. They discussed the factors that could be causing the calves to be weak. The key takeaway is that weak calves are associated with long or difficult births, weather stress, and poor nutrition. Better monitoring of heifers and calving progress can prevent many issues. 2:35 Thin vs Fat Cows 19:53 Weak Calves For more on BCI Cattle Chat, follow us on X at @ksubci, Facebook, and Instagram at @ksubci.

File on 4 Investigates whether the risks associated with the popular hair loss drug Finasteride are understood, after a 2024 review by UK drug safety regulator the MHRA prompted by a lack of awareness of the drug's side-effects. Finasteride's most common side effects are reduced libido and erectile dysfunction, affecting more than one in a hundred patients. Some people also report low mood and suicidal thoughts. As Johnny I'Anson discovers some hair loss clinics are failing to adequately warn customers at the consultation stage of the sexual side effects assocated with Finasteride.The drug, which is highly effective at halting hair loss, is only available by private prescription for hair loss purposes. But File on 4 Investigates discovers influencer accounts on the social media site TikTok promoting finasteride, also offering discounts for Finasteride with Manual, a popular UK men's health company. A lawyer expert told us that the videos we found constituted advertising. As a prescription-only medicine, it's illegal to advertise finasteride to the public like this. This programme flagged the videos to TikTok, and they have since been removed. The company has also banned three of the accounts promoting the drug, saying they breached its rules. Manual said it was not involved in the making of the influencers' videos.Presenter: Johnny I'Anson Producer: Rob Byrne Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Production Co-ordinator: Tim Fernley Editor: Tara McDermottDetails of organisations offering help and support with mental health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley brings back financial behaviorist and pricing strategist Jacquette Timmons to tackle the question that makes even experienced attorneys hesitate: "What should I charge?" When your firm is busy, but margins feel thin, pricing often isn't "wrong," it's inconsistent because the logic underneath it is unclear. You're working hard, saying yes to work, and staying booked, but the income doesn't match the effort. Jacquette challenges the common advice to "charge what you're worth" and explains why tying fees to your identity creates stress, guilt, and second-guessing. Instead, she reframes pricing as a business decision: you are not your offer, and your fees should reflect the value and outcomes your services create not your personal worth. She also introduces a practical way to diagnose what's really happening in your firm: treat your services like an offer portfolio. When you look at each service as an asset, you can see which offers truly function as profit centers, which drain time and energy, and whether your marketing dollars are pushing the work that's least profitable. If you want law firm pricing that supports profit, future capacity and a sustainable life, this episode offers a clear, human-centered reset. In this episode, you will hear: Why "charge what you're worth" undermines pricing confidence Separating personal identity from business offers Viewing services as a portfolio instead of a menu Average revenue per case vs actual profit per case How pricing decisions shape marketing spend and client mix The financial, personal, and emotional layers of every pricing conversation Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

Rubicon - Charles Barkley looks fantastic with the weightless

Over the next few weeks, I'm gonna be sharing my new book with you—start to finish. The whole thing. It's called Bigfoot Country. All told, it's around eight hours of narration. So, I'll be putting it out in multiple episodes. And honestly... I've been sitting on this for a long time. I'm excited—and a little nervous—to finally put it out there. But before we jump in, I wanna take a minute. Just you and me.What you're about to hear is loosely based on my life. Some of it happened exactly the way I tell it. No embellishment, no polish. Other parts are rooted in real experiences—real people, real moments, real emotions—but maybe stretched a bit, or reimagined, to help the story breathe. And then there are parts where… well, you get to decide what you believe.I also wanna be upfront about something. Early on, you might find yourself wondering where this is all headed. There's a lot of groundwork—family, childhood, personal history. Just know this: it's going somewhere. This book is about Bigfoot. That's the destination. I promise. Just trust me long enough to get there. At its heart, this is a story about my earliest experiences with the strange and unexplained. It starts with something that happened to me when I was twelve years old—an encounter with what I believe was a Sasquatch. That moment stayed with me. It shaped a lot of who I became. And for years, I struggled with how—or even if—I should ever tell that story. Because how do you talk about something the world insists isn't real? How do you open yourself up like that, knowing people are gonna judge you, doubt you, or dismiss you entirely?But these stories have always mattered to me. This book has always mattered. And at some point, I realized I was done keeping it all tucked away. Here's the thing, though—I didn't just write about Bigfoot. I wrote about me. All of me. My childhood. My parents. My failures. My struggles. And yeah… Dani.I know that part isn't gonna sit well with everyone. I get that. Some folks are gonna have opinions, and that's their right. But for me, leaving any of that out would've been dishonest. I can't ask you to trust me with these experiences and then hide pieces of who I am. I can't tell my story without including the person who stood beside me through the hardest parts of it. That's just not how I live, and it's not how this book was written.Believe me, I thought about sanding down the rough edges. Making it cleaner. Safer. Easier to swallow. Cutting out the parts that might make people uncomfortable. But I couldn't do it. I've spent too much of my life holding back, and I'm done with that.So this is me. This is my story. All of it. Some of what you'll hear happened exactly as I describe it. Some of it is how I imagine things might have gone—if the timing had been different, if I'd pushed harder, if the world worked the way I think it sometimes should.And one last thing before we start—this is Book One. There's more coming. A lot more. This is just the beginning. I hope you enjoy Bigfoot Country... as much as I did writing it. Part One is called The Hollow, and it begins in September of 1984. I was eleven years old, just a few months shy of twelve, and my family had just moved to a place called Lyerly, Georgia. Population next to nothing. No stoplight. One gas station. The kind of town where everybody knew everybody's business before you even finished doing it. We moved into an old house at the end of a dirt road—a house that looked like something had crawled there to die. White paint gone gray. Porch sagging in the middle. Eighty acres of woods stretching out behind it like a wall. My father, Jerry Patterson, was a drinker. A man whose silence usually meant a storm was building. My mother, Jean, was small but fierce in the ways that mattered—even if she couldn't fix the things that were broken in our family. She stayed. She always stayed. The woods became my escape. I spent those early weeks mapping the land, building forts out of fallen branches and rotting tarps, disappearing into the trees whenever the tension at home got too thick. I learned every trail, every landmark, every corner of that property. All except one. There was a section way back at the far edge, where our land butted up against the national forest, that I couldn't bring myself to enter. Every time I got close, something pushed me back. A wrongness I couldn't name. A feeling like walking into a cold spot in a warm room.One day in late October, I decided I'd had enough of being scared. I was almost twelve years old. Too old for this. So I grabbed my BB gun and headed out to prove to myself there was nothing back there worth fearing. I was wrong. What I found was a clearing with a depression in the ground where something big had been bedding down. The smell hit me first—wet dog mixed with a dumpster behind a butcher shop. And then the sounds. Heavy footsteps. Bipedal. Something walking on two legs that weighed more than any man. Huffing. Growling. Sounds that rose and fell in patterns that almost seemed like language. It charged at me through the underbrush, stopped maybe twenty feet away, and just... breathed. Watched. Decided. It let me go.I ran home faster than I'd ever run in my life. And I never told a soul.But that wasn't the only strangeness that followed us to that house. At night, I started hearing voices in the walls—whispery, indistinct, speaking in languages I couldn't understand. A dark figure began appearing at the foot of my bed, a void shaped like a man, watching me while I lay frozen and unable to scream. Scratching moved through the walls like something was circling me. Three heavy knocks shook my bedroom door one night, and when I opened it, no one was there—but downstairs, a fire was burning in a fireplace we never used, in a chimney my father said was blocked.Something was in that house. Something that had been there before us and didn't want us there. And then, in January, everything changed. My mother got sick. Skin Cancer. The doctors gave her six months, maybe a year. And my father—the man who was supposed to hold us together—disappeared. Shacked up with some woman in another town, drowning himself in pills and booze while his wife was dying and his son was alone. I ended up staying with my best friend Brad Henderson's family. They took me in without question, gave me a bed and a place at their table. And every weekend, someone drove me to Atlanta so I could watch my mother fade away in a hospital room. She lost her hair. Lost her weight. Lost everything except her will to fight.Against all odds, she won. Almost a year to the day after her diagnosis, the doctors told us her cancer was in remission. She came home for Christmas, weighing maybe eighty pounds, wrapped in a scarf my friend's mother had knitted for her. And the first thing she did was look at my father's empty chair and say the words I'd been waiting to hear my whole life. We're leaving. But leaving wasn't simple. My father showed up one last time, took my mother's pain medication right out of the medicine cabinet, and vanished. He started selling those pills around town—the same town that had taken up a collection to help us, the same community that had rallied around my dying mother while he was nowhere to be found People got angry. The wrong kind of people. One night in January, I woke up to the sound of voices and vehicles in the yard. I looked out my window and saw twenty figures in white robes standing around a burning cross. The Klan had come to our house. Not because of us—because of him. Because of the shame he'd brought on his family in a place that took such things seriously.We left Lyerly two weeks later. My mother divorced my father, took back her maiden name, and we started over in a tiny apartment in Summerville. Two bedrooms. Thin walls. Stained carpet. But it was ours. And it was safe. I got a job at Dairy Queen. Went to school. Helped my mother however I could. The nightmares followed me—the dark figure, the dreams of something chasing me through endless woods—but I buried it all. Pushed it down. Told myself it didn't matter anymore.But I never forgot what I heard in those woods. Never forgot that huffing, that growling, those footsteps too heavy to be human. I knew it was real. I knew it was out there. And someday, I was going to find it again.But first, I had to grow up. First, I had to survive. That's Part One of Bigfoot Country.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
