A caller named Nick challenges the show's pro-Sanders lean head-on, arguing Deshaun Watson is clearly the Browns' best quarterback right now and that benching a $41 million veteran for an unproven rookie makes no football sense, sparking a heated back-and-forth over whether "best player plays" should override contract size, history, or long-term upside. Ken counters that Watson's baggage and inconsistency matter more than a practice stat line, while producer Tone confirms even NFL coaches chart throws differently than fans online. The segment also swings back to LeBron James, with Ken joking he'd claim the earth is flat if it meant landing Kyrie Irving and getting LeBron back, while still insisting — again — that he won't match his 2014-level excitement if LeBron returns. It closes with a lighter tangent involving a whistle, a youth-football lion hat, and old "punch palace" scrimmage stories.
Cam Justice joins Ken and Tone to analyze the high-stakes quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. They discuss the pressure on the Browns' roster, the impact of the transfer portal on college football, and concerns regarding the team's pass rush depth. 01:55 - Ohio State's Grueling Schedule 05:45 - Transfer Portal Player Movement 09:05 - Paying College Athletes Model 14:51 - Cam Justice Interview Begins 19:10 - Watson Versus Sanders Debate 23:45 - Character Development And Growth 27:35 - Browns Pass Rush Concerns 34:05 - Browns Future QB Plans

Piše Muanis Sinanović, bere Igor Velše. Tone Perčič je pisatelj, ki se ga literarna zgodovina in bralstvo spominjata predvsem po romanu Izganjalec hudiča, ki je leta 1995 prejel nagrado kresnik in v slovensko literarno krajino posegel kot presenetljiv postmodernistični rez. Presenetljiv tudi zato, ker je bil Perčič takrat, kakor je še danes, v literarnih krogih skrivnostna, nepoznana osebnost. Leta 1998 je izginil z leposlovnega prizorišča in leta 2000 izdal še monografijo o prostozidarstvu. Roman Dežela je njegova prva knjiga po četrt stoletja. Vsi omenjeni podatki vzpostavljajo draž in suspenz pričakovanja. Če bi morali vsebino romana Dežela zajeti v en sam stavek kot zapis na platnici, bi lahko zapisali nekaj takega: to je mešanica Kafke, Lyncha in Atomik Harmonika. Zveni banalno, a je lahko ustrezna popotnica. Ne glede na to, da je vzporednice s Kafko avtor kritiziral že v enem redkih intervjujev, v davnem obdobju, ko je prejel nagrado kresnik. A tej referenci se ne moremo ogniti. Glavni lik romana, inženir Hundek, je namreč zapleten v klobčič zahtev, ki si jih ni sam izbral in katerih uresničitev se mu strukturno izmika oziroma je kar nemogoča. Vnaprej je obsojen na poraz in sodbo. Po intenzivnem prepričevanju treh odposlancev Dežele, ki ga na videz prijazno, v resnici pa vsiljivo in manipulativno mamijo v njegovi deželi Kenek, se odpravi v omenjeno Deželo, kjer mora zgraditi most. Izkaže se, da je to poskušal že nekdo pred njim, a se je projekt sfižil. Ali pa v resnici ni nihče tega poskušal in je šlo za nekaj drugega? Resničnost se nam stalno izmika, vsak občutek trdnih tal pod bralskimi nogami je zgolj kratkotrajen. V tem se odraža lynchevski element. Režiser je znal logiko sanj v filmu izvrstno upodobiti in to uspeva tudi Perčiču v romanu. Absurdnosti, anahronizmi in jezikovne premestitve se vrstijo, smisel celotnega dogajanja, pa se ves čas izmika. Priče smo nenehnim sanjskim rezom, ki preprečujejo uresničenje pričakovanja in ga prelagajo v prihodnost, to uresničenje pa se nam iz poglavja v poglavje zdi bolj nedosegljivo. Sanjskost sveta se odraža tudi v nedomačni mešanici zloveščega in sproščenega, humornega in grozljivega; kolikor bolj je nekaj grozljivo in zlovešče, bolj je sproščeno in humorno ter obratno. Pola sta neločljivo soodvisna. Potem pa so tu seveda še sanje v sanjah … V romaneskni simboliki bi morda lahko iskali tudi sledi avtorjevega interesa za prostozidarstvo. Hundek se znajde v nekakšnem skrivnem društvu, ne da bi sam to hotel in ne da bi mu lahko ušel. Tudi gradnja mostu bi lahko aludirala na simbole tega gibanja. Po drugi strani bi lahko šlo tudi za alegorijo tranzicijske Slovenije, slovenske družbe kot skrivnega društva, utemeljenega na mimikriji, z absurdnimi gradbenimi projekti in tajkunskimi podvigi, z delitvijo na podeželje in mesto, na zdravo kmečko pamet in norost. S srednjeevropsko vnaprejšnjo obsojenostjo posameznika na podreditev kolektivu po poti pasivne agresije. V tem je element, ki ga povezujemo z imenom Atomik Harmonik. Vendar nobeno branje ne sme biti redukcionistično. Roman vselej sledi lastni notranji logiki razvoja, za katerega je značilno stalno spodmikanje smisla. V tem se sooči tudi z nekaterimi problemi. Ker se razrešitev strukturno odlaga, se lahko vleče tudi tekst, ki hodi po tanki liniji med duhovitostjo in duhovičenjem – od duhovitosti pa je, kot smo omenili, odvisen tudi učinek groze. Pojavlja se vprašanje, ali se bo zgodba ohranila na robu med ambivalentnimi sanjami in bralsko nočno moro, med dražljivim uhajanjem smisla in razpadom v nihilistični kaos. Kljub občasnemu nihanju se Dežela vendarle obdrži na nogah pri svojem zahtevnem romanesknem projektu. Branje za tiste, ki jih poleg trendovske književnosti, primerne za populariziranje na družbenih omrežjih, zanimajo tudi nagajivi zdrsi v nezavedno trendov, za katere je potrebnega tudi nekaj prefinjenega občutka za anahronizme.

Welcome back to Living Your Truth with Tavares.I'm your host, Tavares Garrett, and this is Season 11, BONUS Episode. Today's conversation is about one-word KEHLANI.WE CELEBRATE YOU KEHLANI!!!Kehlani Ashley Parrish was born on April 24, 1995, in Oakland, California. They were adopted and raised by their aunt when their mother, who had a drug addiction, served time in jail. Kehlani's father, who also had a drug addiction, died when they were a toddler. During their teenage years, they attended the Oakland School for the Arts, where they initially practiced dance, particularly ballet and modern dance.Early in her life, Kehlani aspired to train as a dancer at the Juilliard School, but they had a knee injury in junior high, which led them to turn their attention towards singing. While living with their aunt, Kehlani was exposed almost exclusively to R&B and neo soul artists, such as Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, whom today they describe as some of their early musical influences. When they were 14, Kehlani was recruited to join a local pop cover band, PopLyfe.Kehlani's singing career effectively began when they started out as a member and lead vocalist for the group called PopLyfe. The band's music was produced by former Tony! Toni! Tone! member D'Wayne Wiggins. Within two years, the group performed throughout the Bay Area and other cities. In 2011, they auditioned for the sixth season of America's Got Talent, and eventually finished in fourth place. During their final appearance, judge Piers Morgan told Kehlani, "You've got real talent, but I don't think you need the group."Kehlani is a vegan. They have spoken about their past experiences being a survivor of sexual assault and rape.Kehlani has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and bipolar disorder. In an interview with Power 106, Kehlani discusses their attempted suicide was due to the negative media response as well as their first major heartbreak. They state that their album was therapeutic through their difficult time. During their recovery, they got a tattoo that says "perdida y encontrada" which in English translates to "lost and found".Today we're going to explore the album KEHLANI, and why so many people love it, what it says about personal responsibility, and how accountability can become one of the greatest forms of freedom you'll ever experience.

Engineers make stuff that gets a job done. Paying extra money to make it prettier usually just doesn't make sense. But every now and then you run into an engineer with a vision that marries great aesthetics with top-tier engineering and figures out how to make it all make better financial sense than a plain, cheap job.

If you have been paying attention in this life, there are many people who are full of shit. The greatest masters have figured it out, too. Back in the 60s and 70s, they figured out that if you slow down the sound of a song, you can program people. It's a real thing........look it up. We've seen politicians do it...... "I did not have sexual relations with that woman...." (You did the voice, didn't you?) My favorite is from Pastor Joe O out of Houston......"My daddy left this big ole church to all of us.....he was such a generous man..." It happens with sales people, digital marketers, and influencers. They're flashing their wares and using their voices to do it. Remember this as you're passively listening to people speak or sing. What goes in, comes out...... The question is, what are they putting in? You'll know if it's good by what's coming out of you. Are you moved to do great things and take action? Are you simply getting that dopamine hit from buying something? Stuck in a rut of negativity and can't get out? It may be influenced by what you're listening to..... Tread carefully, and treat your mind like a vault.......only let things in that you can bank on. Everything else is just the tone of bullshit.

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby! This month I'm joined by Ciera, a.k.a. RagePandaPajamas around the internet! Ciera is a media theory enthusiast who loves to look at and review TTRPG actual plays through a critical academic lens, as well as an author on the blog The Fandomentals, a theater & live production designer, and designer of the GM-less game Leave A Message After the Tone! We don't get anywhere as deep as we could have into this topic, but the idea of looking into the evolving landscape of actual play performances in all of their forms from audio to video to written, with various intentions and goals to achieve different experiences was such an interesting talk. We discuss a lot about what it means to put your game out there in the world for an audience and how you don't need to strive to be like the bigger productions or do something entirely new to find your niche, but you do need to commit to learning and improving your craft. Some of the books Ciera mentions are: Radio Drama & other essays on audio dramas by Tim Crook The Fantasy Role-Playing Game: A New Performing Art by Daniel Mackay Watch Us Roll: Essays on Actual Play by Shelly Jones et al. (the upcoming): Playing Stories: Reimagining Genres, Ownership, and Authenticity in the Performance of Actual Play by Emily C. Friedman ----more---- Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!

What stops talented leaders from truly hearing honest feedback? This episode tackles that question head-on, drawing from both leading research and lived experience. While most articles, books, and workshops focus on how to give feedback, this discussion targets how to receive it. I explore why so many feedback conversations break down and how leaders can do better.Core themes include the impact of our gut reactions to critical feedback, how quickly we discount advice based on source or style, and why challenges to our identity produce the fiercest resistance. Listeners will be guided through practical, evidence-informed strategies to become better feedback recipients, creating environments where candid conversations thrive.This episode offers a refreshing, evidence-based approach for anyone committed to their own growth and eager to lead with greater effectiveness and humility.What You'll Learn- The roots of our genuine hesitation surrounding feedback conversations.- How our reactions can prevent or derail future feedback.- Although not all feedback will be delivered perfectly, you can still find value.- Don't let your relationship with the feedback-giver cloud your judgment- Feedback stings most when it challenges our identity.

What she noticed in those early industry conversations wasn't the passion for hospitality she'd expected. It was burnout, worn almost as a badge of honour. People competing over who'd taken the most 3am calls. She found that troubling, and it drove the approach she'd go on to build at Zzzing, a fast-growing property management company based in Malta. Three and a half years later, Zzzing has grown from 50 properties to 650, and their AI agent Zoe handles 90% of all guest communications across the portfolio. But what makes this conversation interesting isn't the scale or the technology. It's the philosophy behind it: that tech should be silent, and hospitality should be loud. That AI doesn't replace the human side of this business, rather it gives people more time and energy to deliver it. Sab and I talked about her TRT framework for designing AI policies, the seven guest moments that anchor everything Zzzing does, how they handled team resistance to AI adoption, and what she'd say to property managers still watching from the sidelines. Key Takeaways Tech should be silent, hospitality should be loud. The goal of AI in guest communication isn't to replace the host's voice. It's there to deliver that voice consistently, at any hour, across every conversation. AI amplifies what you already have in place. If your policies aren't documented, AI won't fix that. It will amplify the mess. Getting your foundations right before deploying AI isn't a delay,it's the work. Sab's TRT framework makes policy design accessible. Trigger (what initiates this communication), Reaction (how you would genuinely respond), Tone (the warmth, the friendliness, the examples), and Guardrails (when does the AI stop and hand to a human). The seven guest moments give you a map. Discovery, booking, arrival, access, during-stay, checkout, and come-back. Everything you need from AI slots into one of those seven buckets. Humanising the AI agent internally matters as much as externally. Naming Zoe and giving her a clear job description helped Zzzing's team understand where the AI started and stopped, which reduced resistance significantly. Test your own policies. Don't experiment on real guests. Make a test booking and run your AI through every scenario every few days. You are in the driver's seat and AI isn't taking over. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode, Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Reyna walk into the heart of Stage 2 EFT and ask a hard question: How do you get the most out of YOU when every path forward involves pain? Drawing on stories from haunted houses, combat medicine, and oncology surgery, they unpack what it means to be the stronger, wiser other—not as a top-down expert, but as a steady, emotionally present guide when clients' eyes are begging, “Please don't make me go there.” You'll hear how to: Stay confident and regulated in deep Stage 2 work Use your own limbic system, intensity, and presence in service of healing Avoid “over-validating” clients out of depth Become relentless but attuned when working with shame, trauma, and withdrawer re-engagement Here are the top 10 points from the episode in bullet format, tailored for therapists: Therapist consistency is heroic work Therapists, like elite athletes or Navy SEALs, show up and train relentlessly—session after session—often without recognition, but this consistency is what makes deep Stage 2 work possible. You are the “stronger, wiser other” in Stage 2 Borrowing from Bowlby, the therapist's role is to be a grounded, slightly leading presence—not hierarchical, but a steady guide who believes in the clients' capacity to go deeper. Clients need your confidence more than your explanations In Stage 2, detailed EFT mapping is less helpful than a calm, “I know where we're going; we can do this together” energy. Tone matters: gentle, invitational, and regulated—not pushy or detached. Every real option involves pain—but not the same kind of pain If you back away when clients say “don't make me do this,” you protect them now but leave unregulated pain to hurt them later. If you stay with them in the fear and shame, you create constructive, healing pain that opens the door to new patterns. Self-coaching: what do YOU need to hear in the chair? Therapists need internal scripts/mantras (e.g., “No one gets left behind on the battlefield”). Drawing on mentors, attachment figures, faith, or personal values can help you stay present when you want to retreat. Use your own limbic system—and the partner's—to share the load Strategic use of “we” (“We'll go there together,” “We can face this”) helps clients feel they're not alone. The therapist can consciously bring their own emotional presence and the partner's caregiving energy to bear on the hardest moments. Relentless, attuned fighting for the client Ryan names his intensity and even competitiveness as assets: he refuses to let the cycle “win.” Clients often experience this as, “You fought for us more than we fought for ourselves,” which becomes contagious and regulating—as long as it stays tethered to alliance and repair. Validation and celebration must be timed and dosed well Over-validating or celebrating too soon can pull clients out of depth, like doing a cold plunge right after a hard muscle-building workout. Validation should support staying with the core emotion, not remove the heat from the room prematurely. Withdrawer re-engagement is “drip by drip” work Ryan uses the oncologic surgery metaphor: you don't want to close up while leaving “half the tumor” (unworked shame, trauma, negative self-views) inside. Stage 2 requires repetition and reps—going back into the “torture chamber” scenes multiple times so the body learns, “I don't have to do this alone anymore.” Homework: study your A-game and your use of self Notice what you do when you're at your best: your presence, nonverbals, timing, intensity, or way of breathing/pausing. Ask: How am I regulating me? How am I using me as the tool? Then intentionally amplify those strengths and clarify what needs adjustment (e.g., less rescuing, more tolerating pain, smarter use of validation). We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress. We're also excited to be part of the team behind Success in Vulnerability (SV)—your premier online education platform.

Aymeric Poizot, Global Head of Investor Development at Fitch Ratings, is joined by Chief Economist Brian Coulton to examine what Kevin Warsh's arrival as Fed Chair means for monetary policy and markets.They explore Warsh's more hawkish tone, his focus on Fed communications and balance sheet reduction, and his push to restore credibility on inflation. The conversation also breaks down the latest rate decision and what falling oil prices and persistent inflation could mean for the odds of a hike later this year and the impact on Treasury yields and credit markets.
You can have the perfect words. The script can be tight, and it still falls flat, because people hear the hesitation. They feel the doubt underneath your voice, and they react to your tone long before they process a single word you say. Here's what I want you to walk away with today. People respond to how you say it before they respond to what you say, and certainty in your delivery isn't a personality trait you were born with. It's something you build. I'll give you a five-move framework I call Certainty Is Built, Not Faked. Episode Breakdown [00:01:22] The Definition That Explains Everything: Recruiting Is a Transference of Energy For a long time I thought the magic was in the words, in finding the perfect line. Then I started paying attention to what was happening on my calls, and people weren't responding to the words at all. They were responding to whatever sat underneath them. When I was certain, certainty transferred. When I was unsure, that came through too, no matter how clean the script was. Two leaders can read the identical words off the identical page, and one fills the room with energy while the other drains it. The script was never the difference. What was getting transferred underneath it was. [00:02:14] Move 1: Start With Belief Certainty in your tone runs downstream of certainty in your conviction. A leader without a clear, exciting vision has nothing to transfer, and the voice always tells the truth the words are trying to hide. So before you touch delivery, settle your own belief. Are you sure about where you're taking people? Are you sure this is a great place to land? If the answer wobbles, that's the first thing to fix, because no amount of vocal technique covers a leader who isn't sure. [00:02:54] Move 2: Anchor to the Future Everything that excites you lives out in front of you, the growth, the milestone, the thing you're building. So before every call this week, name one specific future outcome that lights you up and open the call carrying it. Start flat and the whole call runs flat. Start anchored to something that moves you and the energy is real, and real energy is the thing that transfers. [00:03:21] Move 3: Slow Your Pace Down Certainty sounds slow and grounded. Hesitation rushes, and it scrambles to fill every silence. So leave some space. Stop talking just to plug the gap, because the person who's comfortable with a beat of silence is the one who sounds in control. Pace is one of the loudest certainty signals you have, and almost nobody manages it on purpose. [00:03:48] Move 4: Fix the Room People feel your energy through whatever channel you're on, and the channel eats some of it on the way. On a virtual meeting especially, the ordinary everyday version of you drains the room, because the screen flattens everything by default. So you add the energy back on purpose. Raise it a notch, use your hands, sort out your lighting and your audio before the call ever starts. That isn't vanity, it's clearing the obstacles between your certainty and the other person feeling it. Treat the camera like a recruiting stage instead of a casual call. [00:04:30] Move 5: Pursue With Certainty The way you chase tells people everything about your belief. Here's a number that should stop you cold. A company left more than 3,000 voicemails and got about 12 callbacks, and not one of them was a fit. A voicemail mostly says please call me back, and that's a low-status, uncertain move. Certainty dials, then redials within the hour, then dials again before the day is out, without ever leaving the needy message. How you pursue is part of your tone too. [00:05:05] Why It Works Human beings process tone before content. We're wired to read the emotional signal first, to decide is this person safe and is this person sure, before we ever weigh the information itself. So your tone arrives first and frames everything that comes after it. Certainty and doubt are both contagious, which is the whole idea behind transference, and it's the reason your inner state matters more than your script. And anchoring to the future works because that excitement isn't manufactured, it's real, and real emotion carries in a way performed emotion never will. You're not learning to fake confidence. You're learning to connect to something true and let it ride through your voice. [00:05:52] Your Small Win Tonight Before your next call, write down the one thing about your business that has you fired up this week, then say your opening line out loud over and over until it sounds as sure as you feel about that one thing. That's the win for tonight, getting your voice to match your belief in the first 30 seconds. [00:06:15] Three Bigger Moves This Week Record yourself on a real call or a role play and just listen, for hesitation, for pace, for energy, because you can't fix a tone you've never heard, and once you can hear it you can coach it in everyone around you. Fix your virtual setup, the lighting, the audio, the energy you bring to the screen, because when you model that, your whole team's calls start landing better. Then kill the voicemail habit and replace it with dialing and redialing, which protects your team's time and shows them what it looks like to pursue without begging. Key Takeaways People respond to how you say it before they respond to what you say. Certainty isn't a trait you were born with, it's built. Recruiting is a transference of energy and passion. The script was never the difference, what gets transferred underneath it is. Certainty in your tone runs downstream of certainty in your conviction. The voice always tells the truth the words are trying to hide. Certainty sounds slow and grounded. The person comfortable with a beat of silence is the one who sounds in control. The screen flattens your energy by default, so on video you add it back on purpose. Treat the camera like a recruiting stage. How you pursue is part of your tone. Certainty dials and redials, it doesn't leave the needy voicemail (3,000 voicemails, 12 callbacks, zero fits). You're not learning to fake confidence. You're learning to connect to something true and let it ride through your voice. If you want help getting your delivery to match your belief, reach out.

Your emotional detachment might be quietly wounding the people you love most. In PART 2 of our Father's Day LOOK-BACK, Jeff resurfaces five more conversations that hit different the second time around. ✅ Why your kids can feel when you've checked out emotionally ✅ How to stop pointing your kids to yourself as the source of life ✅ The dad who never raised his voice and what it did to his son ✅ What "unhurried presence" actually looks like in everyday moments ✅ The hard truth about emotional regulation every dad needs to hear SUMMARY In Part 2 of this Father's Day look-back series, Jeff Zaugg resurfaces five more powerful conversations from the past dad year, featuring Jeremy Pryor, Ted Cunningham, Pastor Tim Timberlake, Mac Lake, and Seth Dahl. The clips cover a dad's superpower of emotional detachment and how it can quietly wound the people he loves most, the faulty input-output theory of parenting and why God is the only true source of life, the transformative power of tone and speaking to the king in your child instead of the fool, the gift of unhurried presence and what it looks like to truly savor your kids, and the hard truth that a man who can't regulate his emotions forces his family to do it for him. This episode is a flyover packed with activation, challenge, and the kind of dad wisdom that sticks. KEY QUOTES "My kids can actually feel that. Like, if something were to happen to me, I think dad would be the least affected." — Jeremy Pryor, Ep. 415 "My source is Jesus, not you." — Ted Cunningham, Ep. 417 "In us we have both a fool and a king. The one that you address is the one that will respond." — Pastor Tim Timberlake, Ep. 424 "A posture of unhurried presence. So often we are present with our kids, but we're not present with our kids." — Mac Lake, Ep. 435 "A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." — Seth Dahl, Ep. 429 TAKEAWAYS Your emotional detachment is a superpower that can become a weapon. Dads are wired to disconnect under pressure, and that's often a gift. But when that same skill gets used to keep your family at arm's length, your kids feel it. The question isn't how attached you feel. It's whether they feel attached to you. You were never meant to be the source. Pouring into your kids so they pour back into you is a trap. Your job, according to Deuteronomy 6, is to point them every single day to the only true source of life. Fire yourself. Fire your kids. God in heaven is the source. Tone is one of the greatest gifts a dad can give. Pastor Tim Timberlake's father never raised his voice, never disciplined from anger or frustration, and the love in his tone did the convicting. Your size, your volume, your first response, those things mark your kids. Speak to the king in them, not the fool. Unhurried presence is a posture, not a schedule. Mac Lake leaves adult conversations to throw a football for 60 minutes if that's what his grandkids want. The shift is simple but hard: let your kids be the thing that matters most in the moment, not an interruption to what actually matters. Emotional self-control is a fruit your family gets to eat. When you're getting triggered by your six-year-old, you're not parenting. You're asking them to regulate you. The Holy Spirit wants to grow self-control in you so your family is nourished by it. Your heart is upstream to everything in your home.

Chris Whalen is back for The Wrap after his fishing trip in Maine, where he caught a 21-inch smallmouth bass! He's very positive on Kevin Warsh's "less is more" approach at the Fed—no forward guidance, likely removing the dot plot, and refocusing on letting the numbers speak for themselves rather than trying to control expectations through communication. Whalen argues the bond market has already delivered a rate hike on its own, and if he were Warsh, he'd wait and see how the Iran peace deal holds before making more moves, given that war inflation is transitory and external to Fed policy. He reveals the definition of inflation will likely be narrowed to minimize rate hikes and avoid tanking the economy, and he's watching a massive rebalancing from equities to bonds at record allocation levels. Whalen sold most of his AI stocks and locked in serious gains, but he's holding SpaceX as a long-term play given Elon's monopolies on space launch and global internet. He warns the AI bubble is going south with Mike Saylor and Bitcoin spiraling, sees gold and silver as a great entry point after being beaten down, and is adding to positions. He explains silver's manufacturing and technology demand while copper faces supply constraints. On Iran, Whalen argues the MOU doesn't solve underlying inflation drivers—diesel, fertilizer, energy ripple through the economy—so double-digit inflation is locked in with no Fed rate cuts coming.

Welcome back to our Summer Fat Loss Series, where I'm helping you get into the best shape this summer without giving up your social life or favorite foods. The final episode of this series is all about what you should actually be eating to lose fat and tone up. There's so much nutrition advice online telling women to focus on specific foods, supplements, hacks, and trends. But if you're not focusing on the things that actually drive fat loss and body recomposition, you likely won't see the results you're looking for. That's why in today's episode, I'm breaking down the three most important nutrition principles every woman should focus on if she wants to lose fat, build lean muscle, and transform her body this summer. We'll talk about the biggest mistake I see women make when trying to eat healthier, the nutrition targets that actually matter most, and how to simplify your approach so you can stop overthinking every food choice. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what to prioritize in your diet to support fat loss and body recomposition this summer. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a simpler, more realistic approach to eating that helps you get results without feeling restricted, overwhelmed, or obsessed with food.
