The True Cost of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on Family BusinessIn this episode of Fearless Family Business, Adam critically examines a recent piece of legislation—referred to as Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill'—that entails multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, program cuts, and spending increases. Adam argues that while some may benefit financially in the short term, the bill has dire long-term implications for family businesses and society as a whole. Key points include the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis through increased immigration enforcement, the enlargement of the federal deficit, and the widening wealth gap. Adam advocates for investment in education, healthcare, and inclusion as essential pathways for sustainable economic prosperity and value creation. The episode underscores the need for family businesses to focus on innovation and long-term legacy rather than short-term gains.00:00 Introduction: The Big Beautiful Bill00:19 Why I Oppose the Bill01:46 Overview of the Legislation03:51 Impact on Social Programs and Defense Spending06:44 Humanitarian Crisis and Immigration Enforcement10:35 Deficit and Fiscal Responsibility22:06 Wealth Gap and Value Creation26:38 Conclusion: A Call to Action for Family Businesses

We all know that with the rise of technology, our kids are growing up in a vastly different world than we did. Regardless of your house rules on phones and screen time, it's likely that every kid will be exposed to social media in some way, which has a worrisome amount of power over their view of themselves and the world.  Dino Ambrosi, founder of Project Reboot, is on a mission to help the next generation build a better relationship with technology, in order to reclaim time and regain focus. He explains exactly how much of our precious lives are being traded away for screen time. While it's not necessarily realistic to ban screens altogether (for ourselves or our kids), it is crucial that we teach our kids how to use technology with intention, because how we spend our time shapes who we become.

Example: hiring without proper training systems.Delaying problems punish you for procrastinating. Example: avoiding necessary price increases.Mounting problems are fueled by the increasing momentum of repeated errors. Example: dumping more members into a gym with a broken pricing model.Chris also gets brutally honest about his own expensive mistakes as a gym owner, and he calculates the real cost of inaction and poor systems so you can see how errors affect P&L statements.Tune in for the full breakdown and then take action before profit-killing mistakes put you on the path to bankruptcy.LinksGym Owners UnitedBook a Call  0:01 - Intro1:39 - Compounding problems7:59 - Delaying problems11:43 - Mounting problems14:58 - What's the cost of change?

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereJay Butler doesn't just understand troubled operations. He's worked through them at every level. From the production lines of Nissan and Mercedes-Benz and now as a consultant for distressed plants, he has seen what causes operations to fall apart. And the biggest problems don't come from the floor. They come from leadership.Jay starts by sharing how poor leadership decisions create ripple effects that reach all the way to the floor. Holiday shifts that never end. Supervisors are stretched too thin. People burned out from six- and seven-day workweeks, year after year.Operational pressure doesn't just hit the floor; it follows people home. When that pressure builds up for long enough, performance drops, and culture breaks. Jay doesn't blame the people doing the work; he points the finger at the decisions being made at the top.But Jay doesn't frame this as a call for soft leadership. In fact, he's clear: being a good leader means setting expectations, being consistent, and holding people accountable. What doesn't work is enforcing rules that no one follows or only applying them when convenient.You can't expect consistent performance if you don't hold people accountable—or worse, if leadership doesn't model the behavior themselves.Jay recalls workers raising grandkids, struggling to keep up, and barely making it through the week. Leaders might not think that's their responsibility, but Jay argues otherwise. If your policies at work make someone's home life harder, you're responsible for that too.They also revisit accountability, but in a different light. Jan mentions a recent interview with Brad Ring at Webasto, who swapped the word "accountability" for "promise." It's a simple change, but it changes everything. "I promise to get this done" hits differently than "you'll be held accountable."They also talk about tariffs. Jay explains how one political post or policy change can throw an entire manufacturing plan off course. He's seen companies scrap full strategies mid-meeting because of a headline. That level of volatility demands preparation. You can't move production in a week, especially in automotive, but you can plan.This episode is a reminder that the weight of leadership isn't just about decisions. It's about owning your impact. As Jay puts it, you influence more than just metrics—you influence whether someone gets to go home proud or completely drained. That's where operational transformation begins. Not with new systems. Not with floor-level changes. But with better leadership.Themes discussed in this episode:How poor leadership creates burnout and operational breakdowns in manufacturingWhy holding employees accountable without clear standards creates chaos and mistrustWhy operational breakdowns often stem from leadership gaps, not workforce performanceHow Gen Z workers are reshaping expectations for culture in manufacturing plantsHow inconsistent enforcement of rules weakens trust and team accountabilityWhy companies must address culture and accountability before fixing production issuesWhat leaders must do to prepare for tariff changes and global trade uncertaintyFeatured guest: Jay ButlerWhat he does: Jay is the VP of Client Development at Seraph, where he leads management and leadership training, quality improvement, strategic planning, and product...

While free sessions can be an effective way to attract new clients, there's always an opportunity cost involved—for both the customer and the business owner. We discuss the various costs, including time, emotional investment, and potential risks, as well as the long-term financial implications of how you choose to spend your available hours. From the customer's perspective to the business owner's side, the episode explores why free offers are indeed not free and urges thoughtful decision-making about the real costs behind seemingly free propositions. 00:00 The Illusion of Free: An Introduction 00:41 The Hidden Costs of Free Trials 01:00 Opportunity Costs for Clients 01:50 Owner's Perspective: The Cost of Time 03:41 Long-Term Investments vs. Immediate Gratification 04:25 Conclusion: Evaluating the True Cost

**The Wake and Bake Show | "Workplace Pressure Cooker: Is Corporate America Breaking Us?"**On this powerful episode of The Wake and Bake Show, Q. Lewis, Monk Money, and Angry Man fire up more than just good vibes — they spark a critical conversation about the mental toll of today's workforce. From the soul-squeezing grip of corporate stress to the silent warning signs that employees are about to snap, we dive headfirst into the pressure cooker that too many folks are stuck in.We also unpack the tragic and unsettling incident that occurred in Eastpointe, Michigan — where a McDonald's employee was arrested for allegedly unaliving her manager. What drives a workplace to this point? What could've been done? And most importantly — how do we protect our mental health before we hit that edge?

In this episode, we're joined by Nathan Taylor, VP of Sales & Business Development at SureCost, to unpack the real impact of “convenience” in pharmacy purchasing—and why relying solely on a single vendor could be costing your pharmacy more than you realize.

Nathan shares how SureCost empowers pharmacies to regain control with real-time data, contract compliance tools, and integrated vendor comparisons—all within a unified purchasing platform.

You may pay $7 more on your clothing, but are you the only one who really pays more? Or does someone else pay as well?Inspiration for this was the movie: The True Cost (on peacock). This is a small analysis on my part!Original title was: Fast Fashion's Feasability For Our Fellows. Thoughts?I made this podcast for the NYTimes Podcast Challenge, and since I didn't win I get to redistribute it here! (That is part of the reason why I'm speaking faster than usual).

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? Steven Sloman contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism or prioritizing one's sacred values. He argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues. As a result, we oversimplify, grow disgusted and angry, and act in ways that contribute to social polarization. Drawing on historical and current examples of the two decision-making strategies in action, Sloman provides a thorough overview of the psychology of decision making, including work on judgment, conscious and unconscious decision-making processes, the roles of emotion, and even an analysis of habit and addiction. Steven Sloman has taught at Brown University since 1992. He is the author of Causal Models and a coauthor of The Knowledge Illusion (with Phil Fernbach). His new book is The Cost of Conviction: How Our Deepest Values Lead Us Astray.

Edition No188 | 14-07-2025 - Russia's demographic reckoning is going to be brutal—this is a story too urgent to ignore. We'll explore how Putin's catastrophic war, fully enabled by the Russian people, authoritarian secrecy, and a collapsing birth rate are intersecting to redefine the Russian state—and cast a grim shadow over its future. The Russian empire is an historical anachronism, which may not survive in its current form. Let's dive in.----------Thumbnail art by Mykhailo Skop (NEIVANMADE):Please support Ukrainian Culture and Artists by buying NEIVANMADE works of art:https://neivanmade.com/https://www.instagram.com/neivanmade/?hl=enhttps://x.com/neivanmadehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/neivanmade/https://www.facebook.com/Neivanmade/https://www.ukraineablaze.art/en/artists/neivanmade/https://uk.pinterest.com/neivanmade/----------DESCRIPTION:Russia's Looming Demographic Crisis and The Human Cost of WarIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we explore the unfolding demographic crisis in Russia, exacerbated by the ongoing war initiated by Putin. We discuss the effects of Russia's collapsing birth rates, high military casualties, and how the regime's secrecy is hiding the full scale of the human toll. We delve into the country's demographic data blackout since March 2025, estimating over 250,000 deaths and nearly 1 million casualties. The episode highlights the economic and social ramifications of Russia's shrinking and aging population, the exodus of young people, and how the government's policies are leading to a potential social and economic collapse. We also touch on the geopolitical implications, the regime's use of fear to maintain control, and the stark human cost of Putin's war on Ukraine.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Support Acknowledgment00:59 The Urgency of Russia's Demographic Crisis01:32 Data Blackout and Its Implications03:08 Estimating the True Cost of War05:40 The Birth Rate Collapse09:47 The Impact on Russia's Future12:49 Conclusion: A Grim Future for Russia----------LINKS: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/07/07/rosstat-stops-publishing-monthly-population-data-amid-war-deaths-demographic-crisis-a89696 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/russia-faces-population-wipe-out-as-bleak-new-data-hints-at-ticking-time-bomb/ar-AA1IdRNZ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-08/russia-locks-up-demographic-data-with-war-in-ukraine-in-its-fourth-year https://www.kyivpost.com/post/56084 https://unn.ua/en/news/russia-is-hiding-population-data-due-to-a-drop-in-the-birth-rate-to-a-200-year-low https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/wartorn-russia-facing-time-bomb-35523693 ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

When BT found his dream restoration vehicle, a 1978 Jeep CJ-7, he had no idea just how much time, effort, and money it would cost him. But with his eyes focused squarely on the end goal, he kept moving forward, even when it was uncomfortable and difficult. Recorded live in his garage, he explains how the physical reality of counting the costs of this project directly mirrors the spiritual principle of what it takes to follow Jesus.  For the month of July, we're reliving Brian's 3-year Jeep restoration project, as chronicled on his YouTube show Garage Bible Study. With over 30 episodes dedicated to restoring his 1978 Jeep CJ-7, BT draws a straight line from physical work to spiritual principles. Track along with the entire project on YouTube, here.

In today's episode, I sit down with operational growth strategist and author Jack Jackson to talk about the high cost of inaction. Jack shares the origin story behind his book Reaction to Inaction, sparked by a moment of silence that cost a company $20 million and one passionate leader their drive. We get into what real empowerment looks like inside an organization, why janitors should be trusted just as much as executives, and how structure can create more freedom, not less. Jack breaks down the framework for building organizations where everyone has a voice, a role in innovation, and the confidence to act with purpose.

What if everything you've been told about saving for retirement is wrong? In today's explosive episode, we sit down with Chris Miles, the man they call the "Anti-Financial Advisor," who achieved financial freedom and retired at just 28 years old. He's here to share his journey and challenge the financial establishment.Challenging Conventional Wisdom: Chris gets right to the point, exposing what he sees as the critical flaws in mainstream financial planning. He argues that the blind faith in 401(k)s and the stock market is a flawed strategy. In our conversation, we explore why the promised returns often fall short and how these plans can lock you into a "money prison," limiting your access and control. We discuss the vital importance of shifting your mindset from slowly accumulating funds to rapidly accelerating your wealth through cash flow. The Real Secret: Cash Flow is King: So, how did Chris break free? He explains his transition from financial advisor to dominant real estate investor. The secret, he says, isn't about hoarding wealth—it's about generating consistent, predictable cash flow. This is the engine that drives true financial independence, and he lays out the principles for how you can build it.

John Anderson and journalist Chris Uhlmann confront Australia's energy crisis, revealing the stark costs of renewable energy. Despite claims of affordability, electricity prices have soared 70% in a decade, tied to a rise in renewables. South Australia's costly grid and Spain's blackout expose renewables' instability, a risk worsened by Australia's isolation. The discussion questions why leaders dodge honest talks on costs, leaving citizens vulnerable to an unreliable energy future.Nuclear energy emerges as a stable, zero-emission solution, yet Australia resists while others embrace it. Pursuing net-zero on just 1% of global emissions threatens industries like agriculture and manufacturing, with subsidies masking costs that hit the poor hardest. As trust in leadership erodes, John and Chris call for a hopeful, rational approach—urging young Australians to question narratives, embrace nuclear, and preserve the nation's energy superpower status to secure a prosperous, stable future.Chris Uhlmann is a Walkley Award winning Australian journalist and news commentator. His career in the media spans over 35 years in radio, print and television. His latest documentary is The Real Cost of Net Zero: The shocking truth of the renewable energy push
