What if the guy who literally wrote the book on asset allocation told you your biggest risk isn't the market…it's the person in your bathroom mirror?

Expo West 2026 made one thing clear: food and beverage brands are racing to add function, but the ones that nail flavor have the best chance of winning. The hosts break down the show's biggest trends, from protein-packed everything to standout brands in candy, beverages, frozen treats, and snacks, while sharing the products and ideas that reinforced a simple truth: in modern CPG, taste still comes first. Show notes: 0:23: Barking Dogs. Plenty Of Protein. Where's The Fiber? Blurring Lines. Sweet (Date) Treats. – The hosts are wiped but loquacious as they break down the biggest themes and trends from Expo West. They highlight the surge of protein across nearly every category – from popcorn, chips, and pretzels to beverages and ice cream – and debate whether some applications make sense today or may become more relevant in the future. Ray emphasizes that taste remains the ultimate test, spotlighting standout brands such as high-protein ice cream maker Protein Pints. The team also notes that added fiber was surprisingly less visible at the show and wonders whether it faces a bigger consumer education hurdle than protein. They examine emerging beverages like spiked prebiotic or probiotic sodas and question their long-term appeal. Beyond functional products, they highlight innovative brands discovered around the show, including crispy jerky chips, soy-based high-protein yogurt, sea moss lemonade, non-alcoholic cocktail alternatives, a modern MSG brand, and date-based candies positioned as better-for-you sweets.

Episode OverviewThis fly fishing podcast episode delivers a timely late-winter transition report from Southwest Virginia, covering the critical window when musky season winds down and pre-spawn smallmouth bass fishing kicks into gear. Host Marvin Cash reconnects with guide Matt Reilly of Matt Reilly Fly Fishing — a USCG-licensed captain and specialist in smallmouth, musky and other predatory game fish in the New River system — for a frank assessment of where conditions stand and what anglers should be targeting over the next several weeks. Recent snowmelt pushed water temperatures down, but a sustained stretch of warm days (highs in the 60s and 70s with some approaching 80°F) has temperatures climbing back through the mid-to-upper 40s, signaling that pre-spawn smallmouth are beginning to stage out of their winter holding water. Matt also previews his spring striper run program, opening dates on his guiding calendar, and his expanded mountain trout program through associated guides in southwest Virginia — a fishery he argues is underutilized by visiting anglers drawn instead to the Smokies or Virginia's tailwaters. For serious anglers planning a spring trip or looking to understand how temperature history shapes fish location in early season, this report is essential listening.Key TakeawaysHow water temperature history — not just current readings — dictates where pre-spawn smallmouth will be holding after warm early-season spikes followed by cold snaps.When to start streamer fishing for pre-spawn smallmouth: once morning temps consistently hit 50°F, a mid-column baitfish presentation becomes reliable; mid-to-upper 40s can work with slow retrieves and long pauses.Why fishing smallmouth through the winter gives you a positional advantage in early spring, since you can track fish as they move from deep winter holds to staging edges.How to locate early pre-spawn fish: upper ends of winter pools, lower ends and tail-outs, spreading throughout the river once temps push past 50°F.When to book spring guide dates proactively rather than waiting for newsletter announcements — late-notice cancellations open dates that never get widely publicized.Why the southwest Virginia mountain trout fishery is an overlooked destination for visiting fly anglers focused on the Smokies or regional tailwaters.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode is technique-focused on early pre-spawn smallmouth streamer presentations. Matt details the adjustment between cold-water (mid-40s) and warming-water (upper 40s into 50s) approaches: in colder conditions he recommends a slower mid-column retrieve with extended pauses and suspension, explicitly advising against immediately defaulting to dumbbell-eyed patterns bouncing on the bottom. Once morning temps reach 50°F, he transitions confidently to a standard baitfish-profile streamer fished mid-column. The conversation also touches briefly on the striper run, which typically runs mid-April through mid-May and requires constant monitoring given how quickly fish can move through.Locations & SpeciesThe primary fishery discussed is the New River in southwest Virginia, with contextual references to the broader regional mountain trout waters of the same area. Target species include pre-spawn smallmouth bass (the dominant focus), musky (wrapping up the season with a couple of remaining guide trips), striped bass (spring run, mid-April to mid-May) and wild mountain trout in the higher-elevation tributaries and streams of the Mount Rogers area. Conditions at time of recording reflect post-snowmelt recovery, with water temps north of 40°F in most stretches and some reaching the upper 40s — the threshold Matt identifies as the beginning of productive pre-spawn streamer fishing. The episode also notes the absence of any cicada brood emergences in 2026 (the only such year in the next 13), which Matt acknowledges will simplify the spring guiding calendar compared to recent years.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do water temperatures affect pre-spawn smallmouth location on the New River?In the mid-to-upper 40s, smallmouth are staging at the edges of their winter holding areas — look for them at the upper ends and tail-outs of winter pools. Once temps push past 50°F, fish spread throughout the river and become more actively feeding. Temperature history matters significantly: if fish have already experienced 52–53°F water during an early warm spell, they may have already moved even if a cold snap has pulled temps back down to the mid-40s.What streamer presentation works best for pre-spawn smallmouth in cold water?In the mid-40s, Matt favors a slow mid-column presentation with long pauses and extended suspension rather than bottom-bouncing dumbbell patterns or active retrieves. At 50°F and above, a standard baitfish-profile streamer fished mid-column is his go-to — at that temperature threshold he has enough confidence in the bite to commit fully to that style unless conditions clearly dictate otherwise.When does the striper run typically happen in southwest and south central Virginia and how predictable is it?Matt's striper program generally runs from mid-April through mid-May, but stripers can appear one day and be gone the next, making it a "wait and see" fishery that requires staying closely tuned to conditions. He monitors fish presence actively and adjusts guide bookings accordingly, making early contact with him the best way to position for a slot during the run.Why is the southwest Virginia mountain trout fishery underutilized by visiting anglers?Most visiting anglers traveling to the mid-Atlantic and Southern Appalachian region default to Tennessee's tailwaters or the Smoky Mountains, and don't end up in southwest Virginia even though the wild trout fishing there can be exceptional from late February through summer. Matt notes he's fielded consistent demand for these trips and has recently channeled that interest to associated guides who specialize in the mountain program — guides he describes as more skilled at it than himself.How should anglers approach booking with a guide like Matt Reilly given limited availability?Matt recommends direct outreach rather than waiting for newsletter announcements of open dates — by the time a cancellation makes it into a newsletter blast, competition for the slot is higher. Spring and summer prime-time top-water smallmouth dates tend to book first; fall dates (especially early October) are typically the last to fill and often have more flexibility.Related ContentS8, Ep 2 – January Fishing Forecast: Weather Patterns and Musky Tips with Matt ReillyS7, Ep 19 – Weathering the Winds: March Fishing Insights and Pre-Spawn Strategies with Matt ReillyS7, Ep 99 – Winter's Approach: Matt Reilly's Tips for Catching Musky in Low WaterS6, Ep 33 – Southwest Virginia Fishing Report with Matt Reilly (Pre-Spawn Smallmouth)S7, Ep 1 – Winter Fly Tying and Pre-Spawn Tips with Matt ReillyConnect with Our GuestFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the...

Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 246 – Reclaiming Purpose, we talk about what to do when you feel like you've lost your purpose on the mission, after the mission, or even as a missionary mama. If you're currently serving and struggling with anxiety, rejection, comparison, or discouragement, or if you're a returned missionary feeling directionless and wondering what's next, this episode is for you. I share why purpose is not something assigned externally through a calling, leadership role, or title—but something you intentionally create. When life feels hard, when you're on the "struggle bus," or when your lower caveman brain tells you something has gone wrong, you are not broken. Highs and lows are part of the plan. In this episode, we explore how to reclaim purpose by shifting from "this is happening to me" to "this is happening for me." I teach how to reframe rejection, conflict with companions, anxiety, post-mission transition struggles, and unmet expectations into resilience, growth, compassion, and future leadership capacity. We talk about consecrating our afflictions for our gain (2 Nephi 2:2), giving meaning to difficult experiences, and choosing empowering purpose instead of victim energy. Through stories like David and Goliath, Romans 8:28, and real coaching examples, I show you how your struggles can become preparation—not proof that you're failing. You may not control what happens on your mission or after it, but you do get to choose the meaning you assign to it. Ask yourself: What is happening? What purpose am I currently giving it? What purpose would I like to give it instead? When you intentionally reclaim your purpose, even anxiety, rejection, loneliness, or transition seasons can become fuel for growth, momentum, and becoming more like Christ—because that is the ultimate work and glory. Episode 246 – Reclaiming Purpose reminds you that purpose isn't discovered… it's created. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Is sugar actually addictive? Do you need to detox from it?   In this episode, the science behind “sugar addiction” is examined through a clinical and evidence-based lens. Addiction has a specific definition in medicine, and it carries serious criteria. Sugar does not meet those standards.   This episode explores how addiction is defined, why sugar is not classified as a substance use disorder, what research really says about sugar and the brain, and why restriction often backfires. It also clarifies what detox actually means and why the body does not need a sugar cleanse.   If you have ever felt confused, guilty, or fearful about sugar, this conversation will provide clarity and context.   Part of the ongoing carbohydrate series.   Read More: “Detoxing” From Sugar and the Idea of Sugar Addiction Learn more or contact me: ShelleyRael.com Schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory call today to discover how I can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

The Root Cause of Emotional Eating In Sobriety There's something we don't talk about enough. You quit drinking. You do the work. You go to meetings. You build a life you're proud of. And then… You find yourself standing in the kitchen at 9pm. Again. Maybe it's sugar. Maybe it's "just a little snack." Maybe it's eating in secret. Maybe it's feeling out of control around food in a way that feels eerily familiar. A lot of people in recovery don't want to admit this part. But it's common. Very common. In this week's conversation with Ali Shapiro, we unpacked something that changed the way I think about food struggles — especially for sober people. She said something powerful: "You don't love food so much. You're trying to feel safe." Because if addiction is avoidance of pain… then food can absolutely become the next strategy. Not because you're weak. Not because you lack discipline. Not because you're broken. But because your nervous system still wants relief. It's Not About Food. It's About Belonging. Here's the framework that stopped me in my tracks. Ali asks her clients two questions: Think of a positive food memory. Think of a painful food moment. Then she looks for one thing. Belonging. When food memories feel warm and good, there's usually connection. Celebration. Safety. When food feels chaotic or secretive, there's usually isolation. Shame. Disconnection. It's not about calories. It's about whether you feel like you matter. That's a different conversation entirely.     Why We Switch Addictions In recovery, we often say, "It's not the alcohol." The alcohol was the symptom. The deeper driver was emotional regulation, belonging, identity, safety. So when alcohol leaves… The system looks for another solution. Food is legal. Food is celebrated. Food is socially rewarded. And our culture makes overeating normal — especially during stress or the holidays. So if you're sober and struggling with food? You're not failing. Your nervous system is trying to solve a problem.     The Question That Changes Everything Ali offered one simple question that reframes the whole struggle: "Why does this make sense?" Instead of: "What's wrong with me?" Try: Why does this make sense? Why does it make sense that after a stressful day, I want sugar? Why does it make sense that when I feel unseen, I want to eat? Why does it make sense that when I feel alone, I crave something soothing? That question moves you from shame to compassion. And compassion is where change actually begins.     Practical Action Steps Here are 5 ways to start applying this immediately: 1. Run the Food Memory Exercise Journal two columns: A positive food memory. A difficult food moment. Ask: Where was belonging present? Where was it missing? 2. Ask "Why Does This Make Sense?" Every time you feel out of control around food this week, pause and ask that question. No fixing. No rules. Just curiosity. 3. Delay the Behavior by 5 Minutes Not to restrict — but to observe. What am I feeling right now? Lonely? Overstimulated? Unappreciated? 4. Expand Your Definition of Fun If you've tied indulgence to being "the fun one," ask: What else feels fun to me now? Rest? Deep conversation? Leaving early? Going to bed proud? 5. Create One Small Belonging Ritual Call someone. Go to a meeting. Text a friend. Sit on the porch instead of isolating. Food is often replacing connection. Replace it back.     Resources Ali Shapiro's assessment + programs:

Kevin Wolf, CEO and Co-founder of Wind Harvest, has been working to make this vision a reality. His team has developed vertical axis wind turbines that harvest turbulent winds near the ground, a resource previously considered unusable.The idea isn't new; vertical axis turbines have been attempted for decades but failed to overcome engineering challenges. “The turbulent wind has stopped all other technologies from being able to make use of it,” Kevin explained. “It took a long time, a lot of money, and a lot of prototyping of full-scale prototypes…to finally have this product ready for the market.”The key innovation is a patented hinge system that solves a critical weakness of vertical axis turbines—mechanical stress on the blades. “Vertical axis turbines have failed for decades,” Kevin said. “The problem is they rotate 15 million times a year…every rotation, there's a pull with a blade like an airplane wing and a push as it comes around the other side. That connection point breaks…[but] if you put a hinge, all that micro movement is taken up in the hinge.”The potential impact of Wind Harvest's turbines is enormous. By placing them on existing wind farms, they can double the energy output per acre in ideal locations without requiring new infrastructure or land. “We can double the wind farm energy output with our turbines,” Kevin emphasized. He noted that this approach also avoids the costs and environmental impacts of developing new wind farms. “It's a much faster way of developing new wind farms…as opposed to taking raw land, new habitat, and converting that into a wind farm.”Wind Harvest is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. This effort allows small investors to support clean energy innovation. Kevin explained the unique challenge of funding such groundbreaking work: “There is a lot of doubt at the level of the venture capitalists…they want us to finish the third-party certification.” In the meantime, crowdfunding has allowed Wind Harvest to bridge the gap and move closer to commercialization.You can find more about their campaign on StartEngine (Top 15 in amount raised on StartEngine.) and be part of an investment opportunity to drive clean energy forward.tl;dr:Kevin Wolf's vertical axis wind turbines harvest turbulent winds near the ground, doubling wind farm efficiency.Wind Harvest's patented hinge system solves a key flaw in traditional vertical axis turbines.Deploying these turbines on existing wind farms reduces costs, accelerates permitting, and avoids new land use.Kevin attributes his success to persistence, flexibility, and consensus-building skills honed over decades.Wind Harvest is raising capital via crowdfunding to finalize certification and commercialize their turbines.How to Develop Persistence and Flexibility As a SuperpowerKevin attributes his success to persistence and flexibility. “I do not like to not have something succeed,” he shared, adding, “I've learned over time that big things take a long time to do.” His training as a river guide and evolutionary ecologist shaped his ability to adapt. “You learn to take new data, change your mind, adjust your hypothesis,” he explained. By pairing this adaptability with relentless persistence, Kevin has overcome significant obstacles in his career.Kevin shared a story from his days at Wolfen Associates, where he helped the city of Sausalito reach consensus on a fire department expansion. After the city's initial proposal failed, Kevin facilitated community meetings, allowing dissenting voices to be heard and their concerns addressed. By incorporating feedback and revising the proposal, the city council gained overwhelming public support in a re-vote. This experience highlights Kevin's ability to persist through challenges while remaining flexible to new perspectives.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Embrace persistence by committing to long-term goals, even when progress feels slow.Stay flexible by adapting to new data and revising plans when necessary.Practice active listening to fully understand others' perspectives.Help others clarify their thoughts by rephrasing and restating their concerns.By following Kevin's example and advice, you can make persistence and flexibility a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Joseph M Lenard, author of the book The Book of Kennedy. Joseph Martin Lenard is a former IT (Information Technology) guy now turned American author, blogger, cancer survivor, podcaster, political activist, speaker, social media influencer, spokesperson / affiliate for American Hartford Gold IRA group, and vlogger known for writing and publishing the #1 Amazon bestseller historical fiction thriller Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You. He also released in December 2022 a book called How To Write A Book And Get It Published: Hints, Tips & Techniques, to help writers fulfil their dream of becoming an internationally published author, and his third Internationally available fare dropped August 2023 titled ChristiTutionalist TM Politics as a companion (written piece) to his ChristiTutionalist TM Politics podcast of same name began airing in June 2023. In 2025 release of 6th International book "The Book Of Kennedy" (his first available in Hard-Cover, as well as Audio-Book, eBook, Softcopy) hit in August of 2025.   In my book review, I stated The Book of Kennedy is YA novelette. The book follows Kennedy, a young woman who is transitioning from one relationship to another. Written without any dialogue, the reader is put into Kennedy's head as she contemplates relationships, life, faith, hope, and kindness.   Joseph uses scriptures, song lyrics, and movie/book quotes to help the reader understand Kennedy's journey forward as she reflects on her past relationship and the new one.   Joseph states upfront that he is not trying to be Dickens, and that he uses today's way of speaking to write. Although I understand his reasoning, I often found it difficult to read, wanting to stop and correct the errors along the way or change fragments into full sentences. Nonetheless, the lessons learned are very valuable. Plus, he gives a long list of additional resources for those who want to learn more about the philosophy being mulled in Kennedy's head.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Joseph M Lenard Website: http://JosephMLenard.us FB: @Martin.Edward.Kieler IG: jlenarddetroit LinkedIn: Joseph M Lenard   Purchase The Book of Kennedy on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3NKLEFp Ebook: https://amzn.to/3ZCf379   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

“In this age of AI and, you knew I was going to go here at some point, so how can an artist differentiate themselves now that AI can basically create music with the push of a button? Like, it's hard. It was hard before, and now we have this to worry about. I think you touched on it maybe indirectly earlier in the connection, the spirit of creating and being a human. I think it is the dopest superpower that we have, and I do believe that everyone has it. It's just, you know, what level it's in, but just because it's not, like, music or visual art or dance or something doesn't mean you're not creative.” – Jastin ArtisThis episode is the second half of my conversation with artist, producer, and creative sound leader and founder of A&R in Your Pocket Jastin Artis, as we talk about what musicians need to know when they're starting out as professionals, whether record deals still matter in the digital music scene, and how AI, from digital assistants to licensed voice cloning, is reshaping the industry.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – Navigating the Fine PrintWe start the second half of our conversation with a focus on some of the lingo of the music industry, such as PRO, short for performance rights organization, payments. “That's how you get paid royalties on the back end,” Jastin explains. “You might hear that phrase, right? For when your stuff is played on these different avenues and, you know, obviously streaming.” We talk about split sheets and how payments are divided in a group, and the importance of figuring things out ahead of time. “It's easy if it's just you, which I know most of us are often doing, right?” he says. “But you have your producer, maybe you have another songwriter, that's three people. You wanna make sure you have your equally splits or whatever share… you guys agree to. Do not do that after the song is out.”(13:13) - Creativity in the Age of AIThe conversation shifts to building the foundation for musical success early and the challenge of starting out in the industry. “There's people obviously we've seen in music that are A-list artists because they did have the team,” he tells us. “But if you talk to them in the beginning, they didn't know what they were doing. They felt like they could figure it out, and they did.” He shares how AI has changed his workflow and approach to music, and his confidence that the human touch isn't going away anytime soon. “We still have to just believe in, like, the human aspect of what we do,” Jastin says. “That can't ever go away. I don't care, regardless of what is happening now, what could happen. It just, and maybe that's just my belief, that's just where I'm gonna keep my eyes on the prize.”(28:55) - Human Connections in MusicOur discussion comes to a close as Jastin tells us how listeners can get in touch and what he's working on right now, including a leadership coaching program. “It's a 12-week program that's centered around being sync-ready,” he explains. “Like, that's a big thing that I'm leading with, and we'll continue now that I've seen how it works. And, I know I'm still learning too, but man, I'm getting paid for beats that I made in, like, 2006.” He also shares his latest musical successes, including his upcoming album. “There will be new music coming,” he says. “Probably not by the end of [2025], but… I'm working on my thirteenth album. That's kind of like, wow, I can't even believe I'm saying that.”Episode SummaryJasten shares his insights on forming a strong musical career foundation.Our discussion on how AI and the digital music scene has affected musicians.Jasten's thoughts on the necessity of human creativity amidst AI growth.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

While agrifood innovation often celebrates bold founders and breakthrough technologies, what happens when the incentives of corporates, startups and investors don't quite align? In this live recording from evokeAG in Melbourne, Sarah Nolet is joined by Brad Fruth, Director of Innovation at Beck's Hybrids, and Frank Wooten, CEO of ArkeaBio and co-founder of Vence (acquired by Merck Animal Health). Together, they explore the “sweet spot” of agtech innovation, i.e. the balance between what customers and corporations want, while recognizing the constraints that innovators and investors face. Brad shares how Beck's Hybrids, the largest family-owned retail seed company in the US, approaches innovation: rather than having a corporate venture arm, they focus on being internal problem-solvers and trusted matchmakers between startups. Meanwhile, Frank Wooten speaks candidly about the realities of raising venture capital in agriculture; where billion-dollar exits are rare, timelines are long, and alignment with customers matters more than valuation headlines. Sarah, Brad, and Frank discuss: Why “free pilots” can devalue agtech products before they've proven themselves. How corporations can support innovation without becoming distracted by it. The risks founders face when fundraising incentives distort execution priorities. The surprising advantages of Australian agriculture, from customer density to experimentation culture.

Dex Randall explains how chronic stress keeps the body in survival mode through ongoing cortisol activation, damaging brain function, health, and longevity even when you feel “fine” today. He contrasts normal stress (fight/flight followed by reset) with chronic stress (no reset). Over the long term, stress dysregulates the nervous system, increases inflammation, accelerates aging, and is linked to diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression,  and neurodegeneration. He outlines strategies to re-regulate the nervous system at work (boundaries, priorities, stopping after hours) and at home (morning daylight, movement, eating early, delaying caffeine, slow breathing, social connection, “no emotional escape,” and vagus-nerve box breathing.)Ask Dex AI Coach "How can I recover from fight-or-flight?" at https://app.coachvox.ai/share/DexRandallSubscribe for more leadership and burnout recovery insights →  https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7393784577229709312Refs#1 https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/61405/20260303/hidden-impact-stress-what-stress-science-reveals-about-cortisol-effects-mental-health-biology.htm#2 https://thriveworks.com/help-with/feelings-emotions/dysregulated-nervous-system/#3 https://www.brainzmagazine.com/post/workplace-stress-impact-on-your-nervous-system#4 https://www.healthline.com/health/telomeres#significance#5 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the-human-brain-may-contain-as-much-as-a-spoons-worth-of-microplastics-new-research-suggests-180985995/Send a text----------------------------------- Resources:Leadership without Burnout https://go.dexrandall.com/leadershipDex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

On Tuesday, March 3, Brian Szytel reports a volatile session where the Dow opened down about 850 points, fell as much as 1,200, and recovered to close down about 400, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down about 1% and moving more in unison; the 10-year yield rose only 1 bp after being up over 6 bps earlier. Markets reacted to fears around a near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which briefly lifted oil over 9% before closing up 2.8%, and to U.S. assurances of tanker insurance/protection that eased inflation expectations; TIPS breakevens jumped about 20 bps. He notes LNG is cut off to most Middle East countries and export transportation is down 20%, with U.S. gas about 40% cheaper than Europe/Asia. He previews key week data (ADP, PMI/ISM services, Beige Book, claims, productivity, and the employment report) and answers an AI question: U.S. power upgrades are “when, not if” despite regulatory delays and natural-gas advantages, while China faces chip export controls; U.S.–China AI partnership is unlikely due to national security concerns. 00:00 Market Selloff Recap 00:36 Strait Tensions and Oil Spike 02:03 Energy Supply Disruptions 02:27 War Headlines and Market Context 03:16 Inflation Breakevens and TIPS 03:32 Staying Calm in Volatility 04:12 Week Ahead Economic Data 04:52 Ask TBG AI and Energy 05:24 US Power Buildout Outlook 06:33 China Chips and DeepSeek Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

If you are afraid to change your art style because you might lose collectors, this episode will set you free. After 22 years as a professional artist, I have evolved through more styles than I can count. From sassy word paintings to farm animals to mixed media to abstract expressionism, every shift came with fear. What if they leave? What if I lose momentum? What if I ruin my brand? Here is the truth. Changing your style is not betrayal. Staying stuck is. When artists cling to a style just because it sells, they start to resent their work. Curiosity fades. Experimentation stops. The creative fire dims. And eventually, the business plateaus, too. In this episode, I share how to evolve your art style without losing your audience and why your voice matters more than your visual language. You will learn: Why your style is not your identity. How to bring collectors along in the process The one mindset shift that keeps your brand from going stagnant Collectors are not just buying your art. They are buying your courage, your voice, and your evolution. If you're feeling the itch to experiment, this is your permission slip. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

In this episode of the Tyler Tech Podcast, Christine Vayda, business administrator for the Epping School District in Epping, New Hampshire, shares how a focus on efficiency has helped the district modernize operations across finance, HR, payroll, and onboarding.Drawing on experience from multiple school districts, Christine discusses the challenges of manual, paper-based processes and why they are no longer sustainable for today's business offices. She walks through how Epping has used connected systems and automation to reduce data entry, improve accuracy and transparency, and streamline everyday workflows — even with a small team wearing many hats.The conversation highlights practical examples of modernization in action, including automated approval workflows, centralized budget tracking and reporting, and self-service tools that give employees real-time access to pay information, contracts, and leave requests. Christine also emphasizes the importance of training and communication in driving adoption, and how helping staff understand the purpose behind change builds trust and long-term buy-in.This episode offers a grounded, real-world perspective on how school districts of any size can rethink long-standing processes, reduce administrative burden, and create more efficient operations that better support staff, leadership, and the community.This episode also spotlights Tyler Connect 2026, where innovation and collaboration take center stage.

As technologies like agentic AI advance, concerns about safety, misuse, and unpredictability grow. In today's episode, Gregory Magarshak, Founder and CEO of Intercoin, shared how he is working to address these challenges through his latest startup, SafeBot, and his broader mission to empower communities with responsible technology.Gregory explained, “We want our AI to be predictable. We want to engineer proper systems…SafeBot is exactly that: a sandbox where agents can build tools that are safe and auditable.” His focus on creating AI systems with built-in safeguards ensures that even the most advanced AI operates within controlled parameters. This vision prioritizes building trust and accountability, addressing real-world dangers like deepfakes or malicious bots.Gregory's experience in the Web3 space informs his approach to AI. He sees parallels between the early days of blockchain and today's evolving AI landscape. “People take the low-hanging fruit that gives them profits…but we could build serious, grown-up technology that's decentralized and safe,” he said. His work with SafeBot, launched just two months ago, aims to create the infrastructure for safe AI tools that are also decentralized, transparent, and aligned with ethical principles.Beyond AI, Gregory's company Intercoin is helping communities and organizations build blockchain-powered tools for collaboration, funding, and governance. From local community coins to global initiatives, he envisions blockchain as a way to create fairer and more transparent systems. Gregory shared that Intercoin is working on projects ranging from community currencies to tokenized crowdfunding efforts, even exploring opportunities to support national economies like Liberia with blockchain tools.Gregory's work isn't just about technology—it's about empowering people. By creating decentralized, secure platforms, he's helping individuals and communities regain control over their digital lives. Whether through AI or blockchain, his mission is clear: build systems that are not only innovative but also safe, ethical, and human-centered.If Intercoin or SafeBot is raising funds via regulated crowdfunding, don't miss the chance to support these transformative projects.tl;dr:Gregory Magarshak shared insights on making AI safer through transparent, sandboxed systems like SafeBot.He explained how Intercoin builds blockchain-powered tools for communities, focusing on decentralization and trust.Gregory discussed parallels between AI and Web3, emphasizing the need for mature, ethical innovation.He shared examples of using technology like Apple's app clips to empower community engagement securely.Gregory's vision centers on empowering individuals and communities with tools that prioritize safety and transparency.How to Develop Assembling Innovation As a SuperpowerGregory's superpower lies in his ability to combine existing technologies in innovative ways to create scalable, impactful solutions. He described it as having the confidence to connect the dots between different technologies and see the path to solve complex challenges. Reflecting on his approach, Gregory explained, “I have a knack for assembling the components in very innovative ways…Once I see the path, a lot of the steps can be done.”Gregory shared an example of rolling out a “groups app” designed to help communities securely organize and engage. An aha moment occurred when he leveraged Apple's little-known “app clip” technology, which allows users to load a lightweight app instantly without downloading it. By combining this feature with secure blockchain and encryption tools, Gregory created a seamless, safe way for communities to connect. This approach exemplifies how he uses his ability to integrate technologies to solve real-world problems.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Seek inspiration from existing tools: Explore ways to use underutilized technologies, like Apple's app clips.Think modularly: Focus on combining technologies rather than reinventing foundational layers.Identify the “path through”: Train yourself to see how A connects to B and beyond.Prioritize safety and ethics: Build systems that are secure and transparent by design.Leverage open standards: Use interoperable and standardized tools to create scalable, reliable solutions.By following Gregory's example and advice, you can make assembling innovation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
