Today's guest is Antti Ilmanen, Global Co-head of the Portfolio Solutions Group at AQR Capital Management.

Do you ever feel like your landscaping business is on fire and you're just running around putting out flames? If you're tired of being a reactive firefighter and want to get in control, this episode is your blueprint.   Scott sits down with Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organization, to tackle the chaos that burns out so many business owners.

You'll also learn a simple, AI-powered way to start delegating tasks, break free from the "no one can do it as well as me" mindset, and finally build a business that doesn't depend on you to do everything.   Welcome to The Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast w/ Scott Molchan, a show for business owners who want to stop spinning their wheels and build a profitable company without the burnout.   Connect with Skye Waterson: Website: unconventionalorganization.com Instagram: @unconventionalorganization (Message her for the free AI chatbots mentioned in the episode!)

"Just buy the index." It's the simple advice that built your wealth and got you to the finish line. But here's what often gets overlooked: The strategy that got you to retirement won't necessarily keep you there. When you switch from saving to spending, the math changes. Suddenly, relying on a "simple" S&P 500 strategy exposes you to risks that didn't matter when you had a paycheck. In this episode, we cover: ▶ The Simplicity Trap: Why "decision fatigue" lures smart retirees into risky, overly concentrated portfolios. ▶ S&P 500 Reality Check: Why the "safe" default option is actually dangerous for your retirement income.  ▶ The "Flatline" Defense: How to build a retirement portfolio that protects your purchasing power during downturns.  ▶ Beyond Investing: How to align your investments, taxes, and legacy for true peace of mind. If you are approaching retirement and wondering if your "set it and forget it" strategy is enough to last a lifetime this episode is for you. ***

From a 0.9 GPA in rural Utah to the faculty of Harvard, Todd Rose's life is a testament to the idea that the "standard path" is a myth. In this return appearance on Infinite Loops, Todd opens up about the gritty, unvarnished reality of his origin story—a journey that includes ten minimum wage jobs, a stint administering enemas for a living, and the life-changing intervention of a department secretary named Marilyn Diamond. We dive deep into the "Dark Horse" mindset and why the pursuit of fulfillment, rather than the pursuit of excellence, is actually the most reliable driver of success. We also bond over our mutual disdain for Frederick Taylor, explore the devastating impact of "average-based" thinking on human potential, and discuss why dignity is the bedrock of a free society—illustrated by a heartbreaking personal encounter with a jar of chunky peanut butter. If you've ever felt like a square peg in a round hole, or if you're looking for a roadmap to navigate the coming cultural shifts in the age of AI, this conversation is essential listening. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior deliver a sharp, energetic breakdown of the day's biggest stories with their signature mix of humor, heat, and hard truths. They kick off by exposing congressional self-dealing after the House rushes to repeal a shady $500,000 Senate perk, setting off a fiery debate about accountability, FOIA loopholes, and why Congress protects itself faster than it protects the American people. The guys dive into the explosive indictment of Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, unraveling a $5 million FEMA scam tied to campaign laundering and what it reveals about ActBlue-style funding networks. They dismantle a disturbing Democratic video urging the military to defy a future Trump presidency, analyze Trump's blistering response, and debate the deeper implications for chain of command and national security. From drug-smuggling networks and Cuba-to-Tampa trafficking busts to the strategic timing of the Epstein files release, and why Trump may have just sprung the biggest political trap of the decade, this episode moves fast, hits hard, and connects the dots the mainstream won't touch. Hosted by CannCon and Alpha Warrior.

The Yankees offseason is off to a fiery start as Trent Grisham accepts the $22 million Qualifying Offer, a move Sal Licata sees as the "domino" leading to a disastrous offseason. Sal fears the Yankees are "banking on rolling this back" with a largely unchanged roster, relying solely on Gerrit Cole's return and growth from underperforming young players like Volpe and Dominguez. BT & Sal debate whether the $22 million for a defensive specialist who had an outlier offensive year will "dissuade" the Yankees from going "all in" on high-impact upgrades like Cody Bellinger or Steven Kwan. Callers join the fray, calling Cashman out for getting "caught with his pants down" and questioning the Yankees' continued reliance on unproven prospects rather than making aggressive moves to finally win a World Series.

High leverage in derivatives markets (funding rates flipped negative) created a cascade: one sell triggered stops, pulling prices lower and wiping out more positions. Weekend and low-volume trading exacerbated the drop—daily spot volume fell to $2 billion (vs. $50 billion peaks in 2021), making BTC vulnerable to amplified moves. A CME futures gap at $92K was filled, adding technical fuel. Sentiment gauges like the Fear & Greed Index hit "extreme fear" (score: 18), spurring retail panic. Notably, on-chain data reveals no major spot selling—exchanges hold fewer BTC now than at the peak—suggesting this is a "synthetic" flush via derivatives, not fundamental dumping.

Ed Lawrence joins James Smith for a brutally honest conversation about the problem with making money online, the illusion of quick success and the hidden grind behind overnight wins. From starting 12 years ago with terrible videos to generating $300,000 from a single YouTube upload, Ed reveals how the "make money online" promise is sold as easy… but requires years of eating shit instead. They discuss the reality of building a business, the trap of chasing views over revenue, the burnout of ad-dependent income and why most people give up right before the breakthrough. Ed opens up about parasites nearly killing his business, the obsession required to succeed and learning to build a sustainable income through content, tracking and understanding what actually converts rather than what goes viral.

In this episode, I'm exposing the Authenticity Trap for you.  The Authenticity Trap is the mixed messages women get about “being themselves.” We're told authenticity is the key to trust, confidence, and influence, yet many of us were conditioned to 1) think we need to lead like men if we want to make it to the top to serve, and 2) constantly abandon our own needs and wants to center and care for those around us. That means when we try to show up authentically, we often bump up against years of social conditioning that taught us to prioritize likability over authenticity. The authenticity trap is what happens when the call to “be yourself” collides with systems and expectations that were never designed to make room for your full, real self. In this episode, I unpack why so many women struggle with authenticity in leadership.  It's not because we lack confidence or clarity, but because we've learned to perform leadership instead of embodying it in a way that is true to who we are. We've been rewarded for being agreeable, accommodating, and endlessly capable, even when that performance costs us energy, boundaries, and joy. The result of the Authenticity Trap is burnout, disconnection, and missed opportunities to share your best self with the world.  Of course, I'm not going to leave you hanging without an action plan.  We will dig into simple ways to begin reclaiming your authenticity as a daily leadership practice. We'll talk about getting clear on your values and boundaries, noticing when you're performing versus connecting, and experimenting with small, brave acts of honesty and self-expression. My hope is that you walk away knowing that authenticity isn't a luxury or a buzzword.  It's a muscle that, when strengthened, allows you to tap into who you truly are when you disconnect from all the noise around you. When you strengthen this muscle and step out of the Authenticity Trap, you not only lead with more joy, ease, and impact — you also give everyone around you permission to do the same.

In this episode, I'm unpacking the sneaky ways comfort can keep your business stuck at "good enough." I talk about the places in my own business where things are working but only because they're comfortable. I also share the questions I'm asking myself as I look at the new year and decide where it's time to go pro, uplevel my resources, and stop coasting on what's familiar. If you've been feeling that quiet nudge that you're capable of more but your actions aren't fully matching that vision, this conversation is going to give you the clarity and fire to finally break out of the comfort trap.

This episode dives into the emotional tug-of-war that happens when people tell you to “just be grateful” but your heart still feels heavy. I share how to honor your gratitude without minimizing your hurt, and why it's important to give both feelings space to exist. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

In today's Daily Trudge, we're shining a light on one of the sneakiest threats to long-term sobriety: Big Shotism — the idea that I've got this now, I'm different, or the rules don't apply to me anymore. The Big Book warns us that when ego takes over, sanity slips out the back door. Big Shotism isn't loud — it's subtle. It shows up as: • Thinking you're “too good” for the basics • Giving advice instead of taking direction • Forgetting where you came from • Confusing spiritual progress with spiritual superiority The antidote? Humility. Service. God-dependence. When we stay right-sized, teachable, and grounded, we stay safe. When we drift into Big Shot territory, we drift away from the very things that keep us sober. Today, we break down what Big Shotism looks like, how quickly it can creep in, and how to stay connected to the principles that actually work.

Have you ever seen A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies? It's an epic documentary whose title says it all: a legendary director tells his life story while sharing ideas about the history of cinema. Kind of a two-for-one. I highly recommend it. Anyway, that's what I'm going to do with this series, except instead of movies I'll be talking about drugs. I don't think my drug experiences are particularly unique, but I do have a lot of drug experiences, and I think I've got some insights to offer that extend beyond memoir; that is, I'm going to attempt to connect my own highs and lows with the broader history and politics of the past couple decades. So, in this first episode, I share some stories and thoughts about the world of pills: uppers, downers and, um, in-betweeners. I hope you enjoy...and stay tuned for more adventures in intoxication.

Silent assassins, primordial evils and horrors that defy imagination – the Doctor's universe has never been more terrifying. 1. Sea Smoke by Jonathan Sims - A First Doctor and Dodo adventure The First Doctor and Dodo arrive on the Scottish isle of Ulfsay during the height of the 19th-century boom in kelp burning. They quickly realise something is wrong as the smoke from the latest batch of 'kelp' begins to cause horrific transformations on the island. 2. Party Favours by Georgia Cook - A Kate Stewart and Osgood adventure All Bev wants to do is host her yearly Halloween party and heal her fractured relationship with her girlfriend, Annika. Unfortunately, her reclusive upstairs neighbours have been invited to the festivities, and all they want to do is feast. 3.

The hardest part of confronting targeted violence is seeing the storm form before it breaks. We sit down with Dr. Pedro Julnes, MD, a psychiatrist who is an expert in lone actor violence. During this discussion with our hosts, he traces how personal grievance hardens into ideology, why extreme overvalued beliefs aren't delusions, and what real world cues tell us when risk is rising. Along the way, we compare lone actor violence with psychotic aggression, crimes of passion, and predatory harm, then focus on the behavioral signatures that cut across politics and subcultures.  Dr. Julnes presents the indicators of this type of violent behavior: distal warning signs versus proximal indicators. Distal signs include grievance that becomes central to identity, ideological framing, failure of sexual pair bonding, and a shift toward simplistic, absolute thinking. Proximal signs look like a suicide risk pathway: research, planning, preparation, capability testing, leakage, and rapid functional decline. Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) provides a useful structure here, but the clinical mindset is familiar—act on behavior, anchor to specifics, and escalate safety when planning appears.  This conversation is practical, not abstract. We cover alliance-building with patients brought in under duress. We outline concrete steps clinicians can take. We also address the systems gap: many cases live in the gray zone of “no crime, no psychosis.” Hospitals, schools, and courts need coordinated threat assessment processes; the VA's model shows it can be done.  If you want a grounded guide to spotting fixation, understanding internet-fueled contagion, and acting ethically when ideology meets behavior, this conversation delivers clarity without sensationalism.

In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions explore whether owning rental properties is a smart move during retirement. They discuss the pros — such as steady income, appreciation, and diversification — along with the cons that retirees often overlook, including taxes, maintenance headaches, liquidity issues, and tenant risk. Jim and Casey share real-life stories from clients who've both succeeded and struggled with investment properties, and they examine alternatives like REITs and other passive income options that offer exposure to real estate without the stress of being a landlord. If you've ever wondered whether real estate belongs in your retirement plan, this conversation offers a balanced look at the opportunities and pitfalls — so you can make decisions that align with your goals, not just the headlines. http://retirewithmartin.com/ ← Learn about working with us www.planwellretirehappy.com Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Introduction: Is real estate the right move in retirement? 02:06 – The appeal of rental income for retirees 04:25 – The realities of being a landlord 06:40 – Taxes, repairs, and cash flow surprises 08:58 – When rental properties become more work than reward 11:10 – Client story: managing multiple rental homes 13:18 – Evaluating the opportunity cost of real estate ownership 15:06 – REITs and other alternatives to direct property management 17:45 – How to know if real estate fits your retirement plan 20:12 – Final thoughts and key takeaways Disclaimer Opinions expressed herein are solely those of Martin Wealth Solutions, unless otherwise specifically cited.

If I only had you for five minutes, what would I want you to know?  That is the very premise behind our QUICK TIPS episodes.  Chrissy's story starts with a familiar tune - the pressure to be the "good girl" in a strict religious household. Sound familiar? Many of us grow up thinking we need to fit into a specific mold to be worthy of love and acceptance. But here's the kicker: I grew up with a specific theology called Calvinist theology, where they teach you that you are bad, you are sinful, you are wicked and evil, and that you can't trust yourself, that the only good thing in you is Jesus. This belief system left Chrissy feeling disconnected from her true self, constantly striving for approval and battling with the fear of being "bad." It's a struggle many of us can relate to, whether we grew up in a religious household or not.

Mike Fox of the Cato Institute joins Josh to discuss the trial of Kilmer Abrego Garcia and how the Trump administration's attempted use of a plea bargain—and Garcia's refusal to accept it—has put not only the administration's mistake in his case but also the entire plea bargaining process in the spotlight. Using the Garcia case as one example, Josh and Mike explore how prosecutors wield plea bargains. They examine the manipulative and heavy-handed tactics that convince the majority of defendants to surrender their right to a trial by a jury of their peers.   Mike's article in Reason: https://reason.com/2025/10/09/whats-really-at-stake-in-the-kilmar-abrego-garcia-case/   Follow Mike's work at the Cato Institute, and on X: https://www.cato.org/people/mike-fox https://x.com/foxmike90?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg

In this eye-opening episode, we debunk one of the biggest myths in language learning: that simply moving to an English-speaking country will automatically make you fluent. Many people believe immersion is a magic solution, but the reality is far more complex.We explore why passive immersion often fails and reveal the four critical steps that transform ineffective exposure into powerful language acquisition:Active Engagement Protocol: Learn how to convert passive exposure into deliberate practice through daily challenges, forced output situations, and contextual learning missions that make every interaction count.Strategic Interaction Design: Discover how to engineer learning situations at the optimal difficulty level—staying in the productive "learning zone" where growth happens fastest through progressive skill-building and real-world missions.Feedback Loop Creation: Understand why most immersion fails due to lack of corrections, and learn five powerful methods to get the feedback you need to prevent fossilization and accelerate your progress.Intentional Comprehensible Input: Master the art of curating English content at the perfect difficulty level (the 80/20 rule) that matches your goals and interests for maximum learning efficiency.Whether you're planning to move abroad, already living in an English-speaking country, or just want to maximize your English learning effectiveness, this episode provides actionable strategies to avoid the immersion trap and achieve real fluency.Key Takeaway: Immersion alone doesn't create fluency—strategic, active engagement with feedback and intentional input does. Transform your environment from background noise into a powerful learning laboratory.If you want to sign up for the free English email newsletter, go to https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/newsletter

In today's episode, I reveal the one critical catalyst holding BTC back from its next major move. Until this key signal flips, every rally risks becoming a massive bull trap. 

We all intuitively know that hypocrisy is a bad thing. But what if it isn't a flaw, but a feature? But maybe the real problem isn't hypocrisy, it's how we think about it.Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm talking to Dr Michael Hallsworth, a leading behavioural scientist and the author of The Hypocrisy Trap. We explore a topic that's instantly recognisable but not often properly understood. Hypocrisy is something we're quick to spot in others, slow to acknowledge in ourselves, and often design around as if it were avoidable or inherently wrong. What Michael reveals — through personal stories, behavioural experiments, and a careful unpacking of what hypocrisy really means — is that our judgments of hypocrisy say more about us than about the people we're criticising. In fact, hypocrisy isn't just common; it's structurally baked into how we navigate competing priorities, conflicting values and real-world trade-offs. And sometimes, paradoxically, a little hypocrisy might even be useful.That makes it incredibly relevant to human risk. In compliance, ethics, and organisational culture, we tend to assume people should act consistently with what they believe, and we often penalise them when they don't. But as Michael explains, this assumption can lead us to build systems that are brittle, punitive or out of touch with how people actually behave. This conversation challenges that frame and offers a more human — and more effective — way of thinking about inconsistency, trust and moral judgment.Guest Biography - Michael HallsworthDr Michael Hallsworth is Chief Behavioural Scientist at the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), where he applies behavioural science to policy, organisational design and real‑world behavioural change. He describes himself as someone “helping people apply behavioural science to real‑world problems” and is the author of The Hypocrisy Trap: How Changing What We Criticise Can Improve Our Lives.At BIT, Michael has led numerous projects spanning government and private sector domains, bridging rigorous academic research with operational behavioural insight. His work is characterised by practical translation of behavioural science and an upfront acknowledgement of human complexity — the grey zones rather than the simple binaries.His new book brings this lens to the topic of hypocrisy, exploring how our judgments of double standards shape behaviour, institutions and trust in counter‑intuitive ways.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] Intro and framing of hypocrisy as a human behavioural risk[00:01:00] Why hypocrisy runs deeper than just “saying one thing and doing another”[00:02:00] Discussion of how organisations treat moral consistency — and the limitations of that approach[00:03:00] Michael's background, BIT and the genesis of his book[00:04:00] Defining hypocrisy: the three‑part structure[00:06:00] The two‑fold meaning: false image vs double standards[00:07:00] Michael's personal story with his daughter + the context of “PartyGate”[00:09:00] Historical roots: Freud's view on civilisation and hypocrisy[00:11:00] Why hypocrisy is a social judgement rather than purely behavioural[00:13:00] When calling out hypocrisy becomes counterproductive in change efforts[00:15:00] Real‑world examples: politics, business, everyday life[00:17:00] The phenomenon of ‘do‑gooder derogation' and why consistent people make us uneasy[00:20:00] Hypocrisy as a strategic accusation in social media and organisational life[00:22:00] The behavioural science of induced hypocrisy and what it tells us about change[00:25:00] Honest vs. relatable hypocrisy: shifting the narrative[00:28:00] Michael outlines three categories for navigating hypocrisy[00:30:00] His reflections on writing the book and the surprises he uncovered[00:34:00] Balancing moral integrity with public perception and stakeholder expectations[00:36:00] Hypocrisy in corporate ESG: the tension between expectation and action[00:39:00] Managing contradictions among stakeholders: the inevitable trade‑offs[00:41:00] Experiment results: private hypocrisy and moral judge[00:44:00] The paradox: why we prefer people who are ‘inconsistent but principled' over ‘consistent and bland'[00:46:00] Authenticity vs inauthentic leadership — and the hypocrisy dimension[00:48:00] Is this a practical manual for “how to do hypocrisy well”?[00:51:00] Final reflections: hypocrisy isn't always about morality—sometimes it's about signalling, trust and change[00:54:00] Michael's hope for what the book can achieve and closing thoughts[00:57:00] Wrap‑up, thanks and behavioural nudge for the listenerLinksMichael's website - https://www.michaelhallsworth.com/The Hypocrisy Trap  – https://www.thehypocrisytrap.com/Behavioural Insights Team - https://www.bi.team/Michael's IT profile – https://www.bi.team/people/michael-hallsworth/'Partygate' explainer - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59952395

Host Todd introduces his new book, The Stability Trap, and shares a sneak peek episode created with an AI-generated interview. The episode explores why organizations that appear safe can still experience accidents and how success itself can erode safety capacity. The discussion outlines the core ideas: safety as the presence of capacity, the three R's (redefine safety, reframe the worker, relearn investigation), and a five-stage practical blueprint for leaders, safety professionals, frontline workers, supervisors, and system integration. Short and practical, the episode is a teaser for the book and invites listeners to reflect on whether their organizations maintain the resilience, confidence, and systems needed to recover when things go wrong.
