Our guest on this week's episode is Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics. Schenker is one of the world's leading economists and he shares his insights into what happened in 2024 with the U.S. economy as well as predictions for 2025. Our discussion includes the economic outlook for supply chains and the material handling industry in particular, inflation, consumer prices, interest rates, employment, and looming tariffs One of the top themes we covered in the past year was the labor pool, and specifically how employers in the logistics sector have struggled to find either qualified employees for increasingly technical positions, or simple enough at all for even entry level positions for things like warehouse work and truck driving. This week a report was released that identified five workplace trends that are coming up in the new year, and methods for how employers can best adapt.With peak shipping season behind us, it's time to move on to peak returns season. We are now in the thick of it when it comes to reverse logistics, as retailers and e-commerce fulfillment companies deal with all those post-holiday gifts coming back. We preview a January story in DC Velocity that reveals that many retailers are rethinking their approaches when it comes to managing their returns processes. Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Jesus epitomizes Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. All of these things have been realized through him by his birth, life, death, and resurrection.Jesus is the fulfillment of promises made to Abraham. Jesus is the fulfillment of Jacob's final words to his son Judah. Jesus fulfills the promise from God, through Nathan that Messiah would come from David's line.Not only is Christ the fulfillment of old testament promise, but he is the introduction of a new promise. Jesus was the greatest sign God had to offer and the needed proof for those who struggle with faith.

In this holiday episode we celebrate the season with humor, heartfelt memories, and a touch of glamour. Pol' reflects on his December 27th birthday overshadowed by Christmas and growing up celebrating Armenian Christmas on January 6th. He shares nostalgic tales of leaving cookies and vodka for Santa and navigating cultural shifts after moving to the U.S. Patrik recounts his German-inspired traditions, including his mother's elaborate holiday decorations, like ornaments suspended from the ceiling, and upside down Christmas tress while Pol' reveals his memorable Bulgari-themed Christmas tree. The *Runway Rundown* segment adds festive flair as they critique celebrity holiday fashion: Beyoncé and Blue Ivy stun in matching gold, though Blue Ivy's mature look sparks debate. Grace VanderWaal earns praise for her chic transformation. Heidi Klum's pearl-white gown misses the mark, drawing playful jabs. Jordyn Woods dazzles in sequins and fur, while Chloë Sevigny's lace dress gets labeled a fashion fail. The conversation weaves personal anecdotes with humor, exploring traditions like Armenian feasts, German holiday treats, and the creative ways families adapt customs across generations. The episode ends with gratitude to listeners, a teaser for Pol's celebrity coffee readings, and heartfelt holiday wishes.

Text UsThe guys discuss a little bit about Christmas, the reason in Jesus, some general talk of Christmas traditions and if they are good or bad and why. For the believer, Christmas is different than to the unbeliever. What are you celebrating this Christmas? is a question Dan & Josh look at in this week's episode.
In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce talk about the emotional highs and lows that surround the holidays. At a time when people feel compelled to be joyful, the holidays can also be a profoundly sad time. Today, we explore the power of expressing both the negative and positive emotions on any given situation or topic. We use the context of the holidays but it applies to most life circumstances and especially to the workplace. Today's episode was intended to express the positivity and joy of the season. Instead, Bob ‘n Joyce expose both the magic and hurt of the holidays. It was a cathartic conversation that was just what we both needed. We think you will too, so: Come on in. Grab a holiday snack. Welcome!

This week on the podcast, I'm re-playing an episode from a few years ago on holiday shopping and what might might really be going on when we feel this pressure to do and have more. I address many of the same themes of intention, managing expectations, scarcity, and self-worth. As you walk down the aisles of Target or throw more things into your Amazon cart over these next few weeks, I want to encourage you to pause and dig a little deeper into what might be going on in your own world so you can better understand ourselves. The goal being to help shift our perspectives a bit so we can consciously choose to opt out of the overwhelm that comes with this time of year. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

Tomorrow is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year and what we think of as the official start of the holiday shopping season. The National Retail Federation expects over 183 million people to shop between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And by the end of the season, consumers are expected to spend a record $902 per person on gifts, food and decorations. Plus, are U.S. Treasurys still “risk-free” investments? A new paper makes the case that U.S. government debt is riskier than many people think.

Rose Walsh is a home renovator who insists on being present anytime there's a showing of one of her properties. She's interested in a cottage in Ireland and puts in an offer to a man named Sean—though her approach is unnecessarily spicy.When she arrives in Ireland, Sean recognizes her on the street and tries to talk to her, but she's immediately wary—like STRANGER DANGER. She later shows up at the cottage, only to be shocked when she discovers that Sean is the same guy from the city. She declares that she's going to flip the house, but he argues that house flipping is the worst thing to ever happen to homes. She insists, "Just show me the house."To her dismay, the house is an absolute disaster—she's been house-fished. Sean tells her she should have read the fine print, and she's left feeling discouraged.Things take an unexpected turn when she discovers that Sean essentially runs the town—he's everything from the fire marshal to the local real estate agent. Although Rose is dead set against selling the house, the townspeople are eager for her to do so. Sean offers to help make the situation right.As Rose works on fixing up the house, Sean spends as much time with her as possible. They go out drinking, stay up all night, and somehow manage to form fully functioning sentences—so, things are going pretty well. They eventually agree that what the house really needs, more than a functioning roof or repairs, is a Christmas tree.Rose finally gets the house ready for a showing, and a couple expresses interest. When they ask why she's selling, she admits, "I don't know. Maybe I want to stay after all."In a wild twist, a woman—who turns out to be a famous pop star who's recently shaved her head—arrives in the town, hiding from the public eye.Rose struggles with whether or not she should sell the house, even after receiving an offer. Sean keeps urging her to make a decision, not only because the buyers are pushing for an answer, but because he's also super into her. During a romantic picnic, they almost kiss, but Rose says she needs more time.On the day of the cold plunge, Rose arrives and tells Sean she's found a home—not with the cottage, but with him. He tells her that they don't have to stay in Ireland; he'd go anywhere with her.They head to the water for the cold plunge, share a kiss, and run into the sea together.
