You ever feel like you're just... behind? Like everyone else got the manual, and you're stuck re-reading chapter one?Maybe it's in your business. Your bank account. Your body. Your relationship status. Your career, your fertility, your family, your life.That gnawing feeling of “I should be further along by now.”I know it intimately. Which is why I recorded this new episode from the coziest corner of my house — hoodie on, Ugg boots zipped, tea in hand — and I let it rip.Inside this episode of The Mind School Podcast, I dive deep into:✨ Why “I'm not where I should be” is the most common lie we all buy into ✨ The arrival fallacy (aka why you never feel “done” even when you “get there”) ✨ How outdated social timelines are secretly running your decisions ✨ A fiery reframe that will give you your power (and peace) back ✨ Why falling behind might actually mean… you're right on timeThis is one of those pour-your-heart-out episodes. If you've ever cried on your birthday because you thought you'd be somewhere else by now, listen to this. If you've ever compared your path to your friends' highlight reel and felt like a total failure, listen to this. If you're tired of being told to trust the timing, but you kinda don't, this one's for you.

¿Miras los mercados y sientes que has entrado en un universo paralelo? Por un lado, lees titulares sobre una economía al borde del abismo. Por otro, ves al S&P 500 coqueteando con máximos históricos como si nada. Te hablan de guerras comerciales, pero las acciones tecnológicas parecen vivir en una fiesta eterna. Es agotador. Es confuso. Y la mayoría de lo que lees es simplemente ruido diseñado para captar tu atención, no para darte claridad. Este episodio es el antídoto. Hemos hecho el trabajo sucio. Hemos analizado cientos de informes, noticias y datos para destilar la verdad incómoda de lo que realmente está pasando. No te vamos a decir qué pensar. Te vamos a dar las herramientas para que pienses por ti mismo. Dentro de este episodio, descubrirás: - La historia secreta de la guerra arancelaria de Trump. Olvida la política. Te contamos cómo un puñado de ventas de bonos del Tesoro forzó la mano de la Casa Blanca y cambió el rumbo de la economía global. - Por qué los "Siete Magníficos" han muerto. Y por qué ahora todo depende de "Los Tres Jinetes del Apocalipsis Tecnológico". Analizamos sin piedad la secta de la IA, las valoraciones de NVIDIA y la pregunta que nadie se atreve a hacer en voz alta: ¿estamos ante la mayor burbuja de la historia? - El culebrón Musk-Trump-Tesla. Amenazas de deportación, promesas rotas, ventas en caída libre y una acción que sigue desafiando la lógica. Te desglosamos el drama que esconde el verdadero riesgo (y la oportunidad) de la compañía. - Un paseo por el "cementerio de los caídos". Te mostramos las empresas que la euforia ha dejado atrás (desde los fabricantes de botas UGG hasta el sector solar) y la lección brutalmente honesta que su caída nos enseña a todos. - Los rincones más extraños del mercado. De cómo una estrella de Cantopop dispara las acciones de casinos a las ¿presuntas estafas? cripto que hasta la propia OpenAI tiene que salir a desmentir. Aquí es donde se esconde el verdadero pulso del riesgo. - La única pregunta que importa ahora: ¿Puede la euforia de la IA ganar la batalla a la realidad económica? Desglosamos los argumentos que decidirán el futuro de tu cartera. Este no es otro podcast de noticias financieras. Es una autopsia del presente. Una clase magistral sobre cómo conectar los puntos que otros no ven. Vamos a separar la señal del ruido, con análisis afilado y el sentido del humor necesario para no perder la cabeza en el intento. Pulsa play. Tu cordura financiera te lo agradecerá.

Brian Smith is the Founder of UGG, the globally recognized sheepskin boots brand. Originally from Australia, he transitioned from a career in accounting to entrepreneurship after studying at the UCLA School of Management. Brian launched UGG Imports in 1978 with minimal capital and a bold vision to introduce sheepskin boots to the American market. Over the course of two decades, he built the brand into a cultural icon renowned for its comfort and quality — before eventually selling it to Deckers Outdoor Corporation. In this episode… Every entrepreneur dreams of turning their idea into a household name, but few consider the financial hurdles and missteps that can threaten even the most promising ventures. What do you do when your product starts to gain traction, but the business is financially drowning? Brian Smith, the founder of a now-iconic footwear brand, shared hard-won lessons on breaking into a resistant market. Drawing from his experience as a surfer and former accountant, Brian explained how deeply understanding your target audience and reflecting on their aspirations can transform marketing outcomes. His breakthrough came when he stopped using professional models and instead featured young surfers in authentic settings. He also cautioned against the dangers of “profitless prosperity,” where rapid sales growth outpaces financial planning, and stressed the importance of sound financial literacy and timing when scaling a product-based business. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Brian Smith, Founder of UGG, to discuss how he created an iconic footwear brand. Brian reveals how surf culture shaped UGG's early marketing, why selling a fast-growing business was necessary, and how he's mentoring modern entrepreneurs today. Listeners will learn about Brian's innovative marketing strategies and the critical role of resilience in business success.

Anders just completed an unprecedented 21 year run at Deckers Brands, one of the most dynamic and powerful companies in the world of footwear - and consumer brands broadly speaking. Over the course of that time, he grew from an entry level Marketing Coordinator to his most recent post as the VP and Global GM of the Teva Footwear brand. Throughout his tenure at Deckers he was a central contributor and leader during 2 separate eras of astronomical growth and organizational transformation. Between 2002 and 2011, UGG grew from $36m to just short of $1bn, and his small team built one of the most enduring and essential brands in the history of the industry. In his next capacity as Director of Strategy Development, they acquired a very small but compelling running brand called HOKA, and built a broad and insightful consumer strategy for the brand that enabled to mass adoption that we see today.

Deckers (DECK) becomes the latest example of Wall Street's emphasis on guidance. UGG and Hoka's parent company stumbled back near its 52-week low after sharing soft guidance over tariff uncertainty. Diane King Hall adds that analysts turning bearish hasn't done any favors for Deckers. Ross Stores (ROST) experienced a similar story, citing short-term pressures on guidance. Diane later turns to a winner despite today's tariff-induced sell-off: Intuit (INTU).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Likefolio's Landon Swan previews Deckers Outdoor (DECK) earnings and shares his consumer sentiment data. He thinks consumers are moving away from “established brands” like Nike (NKE), and sees significant strength and loyalty in its Hoka and UGG brands. He particularly likes how both brands are expanding into different categories, such as hiking for Hoka. However, his concerns are around competition, especially from On Holdings (ONON).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

This episode explores the critical role of tryptophan, an aromatic amino acid, in forming tubulin—the key protein building microtubules, which act as cellular "train tracks" for structure and movement. We delve into how microtubules drive mitosis, the process of cell division essential for growth and repair, and discuss tryptophan's unique biochemical significance, including its single codon (UGG) and contributions to DNA methylation.We connect these cellular mechanisms to Autism, examining how microtubule disruptions may affect neuron proliferation and migration during prenatal development, potentially leading to sensory processing issues and altered connectivity. The episode highlights the intricate dance of cells in neural tube formation and emphasizes the need for deeper research into these upstream processes to uncover Autism's developmental roots.YT video of tryptophan and microtubules https://youtu.be/AY6GmS_AePk?si=K_ZTy5RjLGkm1hGdInner Cell Life video https://youtu.be/RrS2uROUjK4?si=DCHs927yteOZ00dWSee Stuart Hameroff, Martin Picard, Michael Levin, Jack Kruseuse "autism" for $25 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/RYAN03139use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $25 discount04:22 tryptophan, aromatic amino acid, microtubules, mitosis; human biology, autism04:44 tryptophan, UGG codon, methionine, SAM, MTHFR, folate, DNA methylation; upstream biology, RNA, DNA06:04 microtubules, train tracks, mitosis, cell division, spindle, DNA separation; skin repair06:55 tryptophan, tubulin, microtubules, mitosis, intracellular transport, cell shape; Autism research, upstream processes9:25 Chroma Light Devices- Lights Designed for Humans, use "autism" for 10% discount12:27 tryptophan fluorescence, mitosis, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis; microtubules, chromosome movement, cell division, tissue repair15:58 mitosis, neural tube, embryonic development, neuron proliferation, migration; Autism, brain size, connectivity20:33 sensory processing, hyperconnectivity, synaptic pruning, microtubules; Autism, sensory sensitivities, cortical connections25:06 excitation-inhibition imbalance, microtubules, environmental toxins, light exposure, fertilization, blastocyst; Autism, prenatal development, cell polarity31:09 microtubules, neural tube, gastrulation, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm; Autism, cell migration,37:18 outro, reviewsX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Brian Smith is the founder of UGG, the world-renowned brand known for their boots and other footwear. Having left his corporate career in Australia in the 1970s for sunny California, Brian was inspired by the local surf scene. Brian came up with the idea of UGG after noticing that local surfers didn't wear sheepskin boots like Australians did after cold morning surf sessions. The early days of UGG consisted of door-to-door sales, pop-up shops, and simple word of mouth marketing. Things quickly snowballed and within a decade, Hollywood figures took notice and started wearing UGG brand products for the entire world to see. Having partnered with Deckers Brands in 1995, Brian has taken UGG from a small brand sold from the back of his van into a billion dollar brand that is known the world over.

We're talking about this after some footage surfaced of a man being banned from the gym for wearing Ugg boots. Chrissie can't even stand the thought of going to a gym, let alone being banned from one. Also, Chrissie seems to have made a bit of a listing error on her Depop page.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
