The “One Big Beautiful Bill” was just signed into law - and it's going to have a real impact on your business and your taxes. In this episode, I'm walking you through what's actually in the bill, clearing up common misconceptions I've seen online, and sharing the changes you need to know as a business owner.We'll talk about updated rules around bonus depreciation, the standard deduction, tax credits on tips, and child-related tax incentives - plus what's going away (hint: EV tax credits).

As Fr. Mark-Mary mentioned, the friars will be taking a meaningful break to embrace the rest and the joy of the Jubilee Year. While they are away, please enjoy listening (or re-listening) to this previously released episode, and join us in continuing to pray for Fr. Mark-Mary, Fr. Innocent, Fr. Angelus, and Fr. PT as they follow God's will and heed the call of the Jubilee. The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous donors, including recurring monthly donations of any amount. Thinking about helping out? You can give at https://spiritjuice.org/supportpoco. Thank you! --- Grace is in the present; there is no grace in the past or in the future. The challenge, though, is that we're all professional escape artists. We can get antsy and we don't know how to be present, which means we don't know how to receive God's grace. We've got to give up the hope of a better past—it has happened and there's nothing we can do about it. We also have to stop living in a fantasy future that doesn't exist—there's no grace there, either. Jesus is Lord of our lives; the past, the present, the future. Trust him, and allow yourself to embrace today and all the grace he is waiting to give you here.

Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it's 2025 and somehow this wasn't already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what's deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it's a Cold War cosplay. And don't worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let's go.

Hey Jeepers, it's time for another epic Jeep Talk Show flagship episode!

It's Deion Sanders and Colorado vs. Fran Brown and Syracuse in the final KOTN Showdown of the offseason. Who would you rather be in 2025 -- the Buffs or the Orange? But first on this Kings of the North episode, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis check in on some talk from Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark at the conference's media days. He touted the Big 12's returning production at quarterback -- could it be the best QB league in the P4? And could the SEC be the worst? Yormark also claimed the Big 12 will be the deepest league in the nation. Doug and Bill investigate that claim as well. There's a little more Big 12 news, and then the show wraps with Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

Together, they unpack how top HVAC companies are training technicians to think critically, communicate clearly, and take pride in doing it right the first time.From morning strategy huddles to jobsite checklists—and from restaurant recruits to field leaders—this episode is full of insights on what it takes to build a technical team that doesn't just follow instructions, but that owns the outcome."ON AIR is a Lennox Learning Solutions Production.

I'm gonna crawl under my desk, have a good fiver, and then get to work." "They're up before the pigs and cows get here, and they're awake when the beer tent closes.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, we dive into a surprising topic: the potential dangers of relying too heavily on ChatGPT and other AI tools—especially when it comes to nutrition, fitness, and critical thinking. AI can be helpful, no doubt. But when it replaces real thought, personalization, and context, it can actually set people back. We break down where things go wrong—particularly in the nutrition space—and how blindly trusting AI advice can lead to confusion, misinformation, and poor results.

In C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan tells Lucy, “Things never happen the same way twice.” It's a good reminder that life brings changes. They're unavoidable, but how we choose to meet them is up to us. Sharon Epps joins us today with sage advice about preparing for life's transitions.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Lessons from NarniaC.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia holds a surprising amount of wisdom for real life. In one poignant scene, Aslan comforts Lucy Pevensie about the changes she and her siblings are facing. “Things never happen the same way twice,” Aslan tells her. Change is constant, and each new season requires fresh wisdom. Even when we're no longer in school, the rhythms of August to May still shape our lives and planning.When Life Goes Into Transition, Money Goes Into MotionFinancial author Mitch Anthony says it best: “Money goes into motion when life goes into transition.” Whether you're sending a child off to college, caring for aging parents, or planning a move, each change brings financial decisions with it. Here are five strategies to help us steward these moments well:1. Pray for WisdomEvery new season needs fresh wisdom. You can learn the hard way through pain or the better way through prayer. Proverbs 3:6 reminds us: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”2. Seek Godly CounselLearn from those who've been there. If you're sending your first child to college, ask parents of graduates what they'd do differently. Their experience can save you time, money, and stress.3. Plan the Financial Details of the TransitionWith college, for example, have you clarified who will cover living expenses? Will your child work part-time? Will you offer a monthly stipend? Define expectations now to avoid confusion later.4. Prepare for the UnexpectedThings rarely go according to plan. What if your child runs out of money mid-semester? Do you have an emergency fund? Thinking through these “what ifs” now builds resilience.5. Communicate Ahead of TimeGood communication brings clarity and accountability. Whether you're dealing with a child, a spouse, or a realtor, the earlier you clarify financial expectations, the smoother the transition will be.These five practices are simple but powerful. They'll help you stay grounded through every kind of life change. And remember, God doesn't just care about what we go through—He cares about how we go through it. Let's walk into our next season with prayerful wisdom, godly counsel, and faithful stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm new to investing and want to understand the basics of the stock market, as well as how to avoid scams.I'm considering buying precious metals to pass on to my children and grandchildren. What's the best way for them to sell or redeem them in the future?If I give to animal charities, does that count as tithing?

Linear thinking squanders $500 billion annually. The revelation? Ecosystemic collaboration across value chains unlocks it.Textile innovators shatter assumptions—strategic design choices create immediate circular economics. Dr. Rawaa Ammar, Chief Sustainability & Impact Officer at Resortecs, reveals a counterintuitive reality: While companies optimize in isolation, the industry collectively discards $500 billion in materials (equivalent to one garbage truck of textiles every second). Ecosystemic design captures 85-90% through active disassembly—but only when entire value chains collaborate.Unexpected Paradigm Shifts:→ Value Chain Orchestration: Success requires collaboration across entire ecosystems (brands, collectors, recyclers)—silos prevent circular economics → Scale Inversion: Siloed, manual processes hit scaling walls—you can't "hire more workers" for circular economics → Critical Materials Redefinition: Cotton becomes strategically critical when supply chains break (Suez Canal delays cost billions) → Policy Innovation Engine: EU's 16 textile regulations generate ecosystemic collaboration and profit centersEconomic Reality: → 100 billion garments produced annually,

One of the fastest growing opportunities for advisors who are committed to growing their business is the acquisition of retiring advisors' businesses. In the 1980's and 1990's thousands of advisors started new businesses, and these are all now coming of age with advisors who are eager to sell. There are few opportunities more motivating to a growth-oriented advisor than the chance to add hundreds of new clients to their practice funded by a declining pay-out over 4-5 years. Unfortunately, there is more to acquiring a practice and benefiting from the acquisition than many advisors assume. In this deep-dive Ken looks at the challenges of acquiring a business that is actually worth buying, and provides guidance on asking the kinds of questions early in the process that reveal the quality of the business that is being offered – and the ability of the advisor who is offering it to partner well over the time it will take to transition the clients into the new practice.

Thinking, Fast and Slow Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Daniel Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives--and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?
