Podcasts about Uncertain

Wars. Disasters. Politics. Cultural instability. When the world feels unpredictable, it's easy to feel anxious, distracted, or spiritually unprepared. In Week 39 of our yearlong journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Kevin walks through Mark 13, where Jesus speaks directly into this tension. While no one knows the timing of His return, Jesus makes one thing clear: we don't have to live in fear. We are called to stay awake, stay ready, and stay on mission. This message invites us to examine how we're living today. Are we drifting into distraction? Are we spiritually asleep? Or are we alert, anchored, and actively participating in what God is doing in the world? When the future feels unclear, Jesus gives us clarity on how to live right now. Tune in, take notes, and lean in as we consider what it means to live faithfully in uncertain times. – – – – – – For more info and resources on this series, visit crosspoint.tv/mark.

Yet Your Word meets me gently with the promise that even in the valley, even in the tightening of circumstances, I am never abandoned. Across Brazil, Portugal, the United States, India, and Chile, many whisper this same quiet prayer tonight: Senhor, guia-me em cada passo. You draw near to every one, steadying the mind and calming the weight of fear. You walk beside us, not from a distance, but with deep compassion that restores the soul. You reveal Yourself as the Good Shepherd, the One who knows every turn, every shadow, every unseen pressure. You guide carefully, You protect faithfully, and You hold each heart with tenderness. Jesus, remind me that valleys do not define me; Your presence does. Let Your peace settle over the places where anxiety tries to rise. Let Your guidance shape each decision, each breath. When loneliness presses close, let Your nearness become my quiet strength. When uncertainty stirs, let Your voice lead me gently forward. Tonight, Senhor Jesus, dá-me paz no caminho difícil. As nations rest, as others begin their day, Your love spans every hour and every time zone. You carry the weary, reassure the worried, and lift those who feel unseen. Help me trust the steady rhythm of Your leading. Let this journey become a place where courage grows, where hope takes root, and where Your presence becomes the light guiding me into tomorrow.

This powerful message invites us into the raw, honest space where faith and doubt coexist. Through the story in Mark 9:14-29, we encounter a desperate father who brings his suffering son to Jesus with words that resonate deeply: 'If you can do anything, have compassion on us.' What makes this encounter so compelling is the father's vulnerability—he doesn't pretend to have perfect faith. Instead, he offers one of Scripture's most honest prayers: 'I believe; help my unbelief.' This message challenges us to reconsider how Jesus responds to our uncertainties. Rather than rebuking or shaming the doubting father, Jesus meets him with compassion and heals his son immediately. No religious hoops to jump through, no faith test to pass first—just grace. The father's name isn't given in Scripture, and perhaps that's intentional. He could be any of us. We all wrestle with doubt at different points in our spiritual journey. The beautiful truth here is that doubt isn't the opposite of faith—it's actually evidence of a growing, honest faith. Jesus can handle our questions, our uncertainties, our 'if you can' moments. This passage reminds us that faith isn't about achieving perfect certainty; it's about bringing our whole selves—doubts included—into relationship with a God who loves us exactly as we are.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningJoshua 1:5 — Jesus, Stand With Me When the Night Feels Uncertain Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brazil • United States • India • Portugal • South Africa Joshua 1:5 (NIV): “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Matthew 28:20 (NIV): “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” In these quiet night hours, when the world feels still and tomorrow feels uncertain, Your presence, Jesus, becomes the strength our hearts search for. We hold the ancient promise spoken in Joshua 1:5, a declaration that You remain with Your people through every season, every moment of hesitation, every hour shadowed by concern. As the night stretches on and thoughts try to rise, You speak reassurance: You will never leave. You will never forsake. You stand beside us now, offering steadiness for weary minds and peace for unsettled hearts. Jesus, You remind us that even when circumstances shift, Your nearness does not. You draw close to those who whisper prayers in the dark, You calm the soul that feels overwhelmed, and You bring a quiet strength that settles the inward places. Just as You walked with Your followers and promised Your lasting presence, we receive that same assurance tonight, believing that Your peace enters the spaces where worry has tried to live. Across nations and languages, in Portuguese-speaking homes saying “Tu estás comigo,” in Indian families praying softly, in those across America needing hope for tomorrow, Your promise stands unchanged. Jesus, steady the one lying awake. Lift the one who feels anxious about what the next day may bring. Let Your companionship be their courage and let Your peace guard their thoughts as they rest. No darkness is stronger than Your presence, and no uncertainty is greater than Your faithful love. Tonight we trust You, Jesus. Walk with us. Watch over us. Renew us with quiet confidence.

Brian Miller (Coach Approach Ministries) sits down with Brent Sleasman (Winebrenner Seminary) to unpack a hard reality: important kingdom-focused organizations are disappearing—not because the mission isn't needed, but because leaders fail to see the bigger picture and adapt to a changed world. They explore how "little-kingdom thinking," nostalgia-driven decision-making, and fear of loss keep leaders stuck. The conversation lands on two mindset shifts—moving from deconstruction to construction, and from craving certainty to practicing curiosity—plus a practical lifeline: partnership and collaboration before it's too late. Big ideas & key takeaways 1) "Important organizations" can fail while the Kingdom doesn't Brent defines "important" as organizations advancing Jesus' kingdom mission—raising up and equipping workers. Some fail by closing completely; others "survive" by being absorbed and losing autonomy and original mission. 2) The "bigger perspective" starts with Kingdom clarity Brent's core framework: One King One Kingdom One Kingdom mission When organizations obsess over their own mission/brand distinctiveness and neglect the larger kingdom mission, they drift into "my little kingdom" thinking—and conflict with reality eventually wins. 3) Nonprofits get a weird superpower: they can ignore financial reality longer Because they're not serving shareholders or chasing profit, they can keep doing what "worked for my grandparents"… right up until the day they can't pay staff. 4) Leaders are loss-averse, so change feels like dying Brent names the psychology: we overweight what we might lose versus what we might gain. So even small workflow changes (a new system, new dashboard, a meeting rhythm) can get treated like a spiritual crisis. 5) Two mindset shifts for a VUCA world Brent's two shifts: Deconstruction → Construction (Jeremiah language: don't only tear down/uproot; also build and plant.) Certainty → Curiosity/comfort with uncertainty (the world is volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous—so "certainty" as a leadership strategy is basically a fossil.) 6) The practical rescue move: partnership Brent's blunt claim: organizations that failed had ready partners available, but didn't take the humility step early enough. If you think no partner exists, his response is essentially: test that—then admit you're wrong. 7) Before you "shut it down well," try one more creative loop He points to tools/resources (Business Model Canvas, The Startup Way, books/podcasts) to spark fresh thinking before leaders get enchanted with the shutdown process. Standout quotes (clean and punchy) "There's one king, one kingdom, one kingdom mission." "People would rather the church close than change the color of the carpet." "Nobody likes the person at a party that's constantly pointing out everything wrong." "You're going to feel worse about what you lose than what you gain—until you do it." "There were ready partners." Light outline (great for show notes) 00:00–01:35 Setup: "Human-to-human connection will matter more" + the bigger claim: orgs failing due to lack of perspective 01:36–04:31 What "important" means; what "failure" means (closure vs. absorption) 04:32–09:30 Bigger perspective = Kingdom-first clarity (Matthew 28; "one king…") 09:31–15:06 Why orgs get stuck: nostalgia, purity mindset, resistance to change, delayed financial consequences 15:07–20:07 Helping leaders embody mission; fear/loss aversion; journeying together 20:08–26:18 Mindset shifts: constructive thinking + comfort with uncertainty; VUCA 26:19–32:17 Direct advice: partnership/collaboration + use tools/resources to spur creativity; closing encouragement + CAM CTA Practical application prompts (for leaders listening) Where are we protecting our identity more than we're advancing the Kingdom mission? What's one change we keep calling "impossible" that is actually just "uncomfortable"? Who are the "ready partners" we've avoided because partnership would require humility? What decision are we delaying until "certainty" arrives (spoiler: it's not arriving)? What are we building and planting right now—not just critiquing? Links / resources mentioned (no links given in audio) Michael Porter, Competitive Advantage Business Model Canvas Eric Ries, The Startup Way VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) Scriptural references/inferences: Matthew 28 (Great Commission), "harvest is plentiful/workers few," Jeremiah (tear down/uproot vs build/plant), "gates of hell shall not prevail"

We often think change will make sense once we get to the other side, but what if the real work of change is learning how to stay present in the uncertainty itself? Today, Jay sits down with cognitive scientist and author Dr. Maya Shankar to explore why unexpected change feels so threatening, and why losing what we thought our life would look like can feel like losing ourselves. From a career-ending injury early in her life to deeply personal losses later on, Maya reflects on how life’s unexpected turns can quietly reshape how we see ourselves, our worth, and our place in the world. Maya explains that one of the biggest mistakes we make during change is tying our self-worth to roles, titles, or outcomes. When those fall away, it can feel deeply destabilizing. Instead, she invites us to root our identity in something more stable: our “why.” The deeper reasons behind what we love—connection, service, growth, creativity. When we stay connected to those, we can move through change without losing ourselves. Jay reflects on how often we seek external validation and why redefining success during loss is essential for resilience. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Handle Change You Didn’t Choose How to Anchor Your Self-Worth Beyond External Success How to Find Your “Why” When Life Falls Apart How to Rebuild Yourself After a Dream Ends How to Grow into the Person Change Is Shaping You To Be If you’re going through a season of change right now, remember this: you’re not broken for struggling with it. Change is meant to shake us, to slow us down, and to make us question who we are beyond our titles, plans, and expectations.

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we examine corporate scenario planning and why it has become a core capability for finance teams operating in volatile and uncertain environments. As interest rates, input costs, and demand conditions shift faster than traditional planning cycles can absorb, single-point forecasts increasingly fail to support effective decision-making.This episode explains how scenario planning differs from conventional forecasting. Rather than producing one “most likely” outcome, scenario planning evaluates multiple plausible futures and translates those outcomes into concrete financial and operational decisions. When used properly, it allows finance teams to anticipate pressure points in liquidity, covenants, margins, and capital allocation before those risks materialize.In this episode, we cover:The difference between forecasting and true scenario planningWhy precision can be a trap in volatile marketsHow base, upside, and downside scenarios should be used as active decision toolsHow sensitivity analysis identifies the variables that actually drive riskWhy liquidity and covenant breaches matter more than missing a forecastHow companies like Microsoft use scenarios to dynamically reallocate capitalHow Procter & Gamble manages cost volatility and pricing pressureHow Delta used scenario planning to survive the collapse in air travelWhy Amazon slowed its expansion after modeling demand normalizationWhat Peloton's failure shows about ignoring downside scenarios during boom periodsThis episode also shows how scenario planning shifts the role of finance teams. Instead of acting as scorekeepers who explain variances after the fact, finance becomes a strategic navigation function that highlights where the business breaks, where flexibility exists, and where decisive action is required.This episode is designed for:Corporate finance professionalsFP&A teams responsible for forecasting and planningFinance leaders involved in capital allocation and risk managementAnyone responsible for making decisions under uncertainty

I share three practical tools to spiritually connect with God and get in tune with the Holy Spirit. I pray this blesses you!

The “Clean Slate” That Changes Your Decisions Every January, Bruce and I have this running joke: as a society, we collectively decide that January 1 magically flips a switch—life will be calmer, more organized, more intentional. Bruce thinks it's strange. (He's not wrong.)I love it. I love a clean slate. A fresh start. A targeted window that says, “This is the beginning.” https://www.youtube.com/live/_cgm7sJ6SDc And here's why that matters for your money: when you feel like you have a beginning, you're more willing to think differently. You stop drifting on autopilot and start asking better questions—especially the one Bruce kept coming back to in our conversation: Why do you do what you do financially? That one question is the doorway to confidence. Not “confidence that you'll always be right,” but confidence that you're making the best decision with the information you have—while staying flexible enough to adjust when new information shows up. That's the heart of this post: the financial strategy for families in 2026 isn't a single product or prediction. It's a way of thinking—a framework—that helps you build control, cash flow, and peace of mind in uncertain markets. The “Clean Slate” That Changes Your DecisionsWhat You'll Gain from This Financial Strategy for Families in 2026Financial strategy for families starts with one skill: thinking about your thinkingWhat fundamentally changed—and why “uncertain markets” feel louder than ever1) Information moves instantly—and it affects how you use your money2) The 24-hour news cycle magnifies fear—and shrinks your time horizon3) AI disruption adds both opportunity and anxiety4) Cryptocurrency continues to create both opportunity and harm5) Debt levels are enormous—and debt quietly reduces control of capitalWhy the typical accumulation model fails families in uncertain marketsSequence of returns risk: why averages don't protect your retirementFinancial strategy for families in uncertain markets: control of capital is the core principleCash flow planning and the liquidity strategy every family needs in 2026 and beyondHow to build liquidity for market volatilityDebt management strategy: why debt steals optionality for familiesWhy families need professional guidance more than ever in 2026Optionality: how to create a family wealth plan that lasts generationsYour most valuable asset isn't your portfolio—it's your family's capacityThe Financial Strategy Every Family Needs in 2026 and BeyondListen to the Full Episode on Financial Strategy for Families in 2026 and BeyondFAQ: Financial Strategy for Families in 2026 and BeyondWhat is the best financial strategy for families?How do you build liquidity for market volatility?How much cash reserve should a family keep in 2026 and beyond?What's the difference between cash flow and net worth for families?How can families protect wealth from volatility without going to all cash?How does debt reduce control of capital?How can AI impact jobs and investing decisions in 2026 and beyond?What does “control of capital” mean in personal finance? What You'll Gain from This Financial Strategy for Families in 2026 If you've felt the financial landscape shifting—tax uncertainty, persistent inflation, volatile markets, conflicting advice, AI disruption, crypto hype, growing debt, and nonstop headlines—you're not imagining it. The pace of change is faster. But here's the good news: you don't need a crystal ball to win financially in 2026. You need a system grounded in principles that hold up in any environment. In this article, we'll walk you through a financial framework for uncertain markets that's built on: control of capital cash flow planning liquidity strategy (liquidity buffer) optionality (having choices even when the “rules” change) decision-making confidence under uncertainty multi-generational planning that prepares your family for the future you can't predict And we'll also show you why the typical accumulation-based model leaves many families exposed—especially when volatility and sequence of returns risk collide. Financial strategy for families starts with one skill: thinking about your thinking Bruce said something that I think every family needs right now: Think about your thinking. Most people don't actually have a money strategy. They have inherited assumptions. They're doing what coworkers do. What parents did. What the internet said. What the “guru” recommended. What the algorithm fed them. In 2026, the families who thrive won't be the best guessers. They'll be the best designers. And the first step in design is awareness: Why am I saving this way? Why am I investing this way? Why am I in debt? Why does this feel “safe” to me? What am I assuming about the next 10–20 years? This isn't about obsessing. It's about choosing on purpose—so you can move forward with confidence, not second-guessing. What fundamentally changed—and why “uncertain markets” feel louder than ever When we talked about what's changed heading into 2026, Bruce laid out the big forces that are shaping the environment families are making decisions inside of: 1) Information moves instantly—and it affects how you use your money The world feels smaller because it is smaller. A person in the Caribbean can follow the same investing narrative as someone in Texas. Advice travels fast. That can be helpful. It can also be harmful—because it creates noise, urgency, and “trend pressure.” If you're constantly being told the newest move, the newest hack, the newest asset class… your financial decisions can become reactive instead of strategic. 2) The 24-hour news cycle magnifies fear—and shrinks your time horizon Here's a hard truth: fear makes people short-term. When headlines feel nonstop, people assume they need to do something right now. But families build wealth through disciplined, long-range thinking—especially when markets are volatile. 3) AI disruption adds both opportunity and anxiety AI is not the first major innovation wave (we've seen this with cars, the internet, tech booms). But it's moving faster. Some companies will soar. Some will crash. Some industries will be disrupted. New industries will emerge. That uncertainty pushes people toward emotional decision-making. 4) Cryptocurrency continues to create both opportunity and harm Crypto is still sorting itself out. Some parts thrive, others die. Governments are still deciding how they'll regulate and respond. That uncertainty can create both speculation and fear—and those are not the foundations of a stable family wealth plan. 5) Debt levels are enormous—and debt quietly reduces control of capital Debt is more than a number. It changes who controls your future cash flow. Bruce said it plainly: when you're in debt, you're not controlling capital—capital is flowing away from you. And when you combine high debt with volatility, it can create pressure-cooker decision-making. Why the typical accumulation model fails families in uncertain markets Most modern financial planning is built on a familiar script: Work and accumulate assets Grow net worth Retire Live on portfolio growth without touching principal That model depends on one assumption: that your assets will grow smoothly enough, at the right time, to support your lifestyle. But in uncertain markets, families don't just face market risk. They face timing risk. Sequence of returns risk: why averages don't protect your retirement Bruce explained this in a way that cuts through the noise: averages don't matter if timing is wrong. Two portfolios can have the same “average return” over 20 years—but if one experiences losses early (when you're withdrawing income), the outcome can be dramatically worse. That's why “the market averages 10%” is not a strategy. It's a soundbite. A real strategy considers: when you need income how much liquidity you have what happens if markets drop early whether your plan depends on selling assets in a down year If your plan requires everything to go “mostly right” in the early years of retirement, you don't have a plan—you have a hope. Financial strategy for families in uncertain markets: control of capital is the core principle When we stripped the conversation down to the essentials, we kept coming back to one word: Control. Control doesn't mean you can control the market. It means you can control your position. And your position is what determines your options. When you control capital, you have money you can access and direct: for emergencies for opportunity for strategic investing for business pivots for family needs for tax planning decisions for downturns without panic This is why we talk so much about control of capital. It's not a buzzword. It's a survival advantage—and a growth advantage. Cash flow planning and the liquidity strategy every family needs in 2026 and beyond Let's make this practical. When volatility increases, you need a plan that doesn't force you to liquidate investments at the wrong time. That requires a liquidity buffer. How to build liquidity for market volatility Liquidity isn't just “cash in a checking account.” Liquidity is access. It's the ability to move without penalties, delays, or begging for approval. A strong liquidity strategy (liquidity buffer) does two things: It keeps you stable in crisis It keeps you ready in opportunity Bruce said it perfectly: opportunities find cash. And here's the funny thing—when you have liquidity, you start noticing opportunities you would've missed before. We talked about the “Beetle effect” (your brain notices what it's primed to notice). When you have capital available, your radar changes. You see deals, investments, partnerships,

WORLDWIDE ANXIETY:Do you find yourself wondering what is going to happen next?You are not the only person who has that question echoing in their mind. Billions of people are feeling this way around the world.Instability creates anxiety and uncertainty causes worry.That's why the price of gold has been shooting upwards like a bottle rocket on the Fourth of July.The stock exchange is a short-term barometer of American investor confidence.The price of gold is a long-term barometer of the entire world's confidence in the future.Gold was $265 an ounce in the year 2000.It had climbed to $1,185 an ounce by 2013 as people all over the world began to bicker at ever higher levels of intensity.Driven by concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of gold exceeded $2,000 an ounce for the first time in history on August 4, 2020.Gold climbed to more than $3,000 an ounce on March 14, 2025 as the world grew anxious about “trade war tensions” according to Business Insider.Just seven months later – on October 8, 2025 – gold exceeded $4,000 an ounce. Reuters said the reason was “geopolitical and economic uncertainty.”That was less than 4 months ago.At the time of this writing – Wednesday, January 28, 2026 – gold is at $5,565.40 per ounce.Did you realize that the price of gold has climbed from $3000/ounce to $5,565/ounce in less than 11 months?Instability creates anxiety and uncertainty causes worry.The price of gold rises as the world gets nervous and consumer confidence falls.Uncertain about the future, people are becoming increasingly hesitant to spend money.LOCAL OPPORTUNITY:When their sales volume falls below last year's sales volume, the first reaction of most business owners is to blame the marketing team. Their second reaction is to reduce their advertising, lay off some people, and hunker down.This creates an amazing opportunity for courageous business owners to grow their market share. Your ads stand out when your competitors go silent.Selling is a transfer of confidence. When the customer doesn't have confidence that today is the right day, or that your price is the right price, or that your company is the right company to trust, your only option is to transfer your confidence to them.When you have successfully transferred your confidence to your customer, they will know that today is the right day, your price is the right price, and your company is the company to trust.But this takes1. a convincing message2. rock-solid courage3. staying power.Do you have the financial staying power to win droves of new customers when margins are shrinking? More importantly, do you have the emotional staying power?I believe that 2026 will be a year of anxiety and opportunity. You can duck and cover, or you can reach upward and rise.You cannot change your circumstances, but you can change your actions.Will you shrink, or will you rise?Roy H. WilliamsHere's a Little Tidbit of News for You: the wizard has been handsomely paid to appear in a new movie about the global economy and his book “Pendulum” that he wrote in 2012. That movie will be shown in movie theaters across America, but only to private audiences. Roy said to the producer,“The Pendulum of western society does NOT predict the economy. It predicts ONLY that society will fracture and social violence will escalate for a period of ten years as we approach the zenith of a ‘WE', which happened in 2023. Then it will slowly subside for the next ten years....

In this episode, we reflect on how to stay steady when the world feels uncertain.As fear rises through financial stress, global tension, and constant change, bhakti wisdom offers another response - not panic or withdrawal, but grounding. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, we explore how inner steadiness helps us respond with clarity, show up for our service, and be a calm presence for others.A gentle invitation to ask:When uncertainty rises, do I shut down - or do I show up?Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

A Perfect Run — With CracksPerfect in Europe, Uncertain at the Back — What Arsenal Must Fix Before LeedsArsenal close out the Champions League League Phase with a perfect record — eight wins from eight — but the performance against Kairat raises uncomfortable questions beneath the surface.Gav and Jus break down a night that should have felt routine, but instead reinforced growing concerns around defensive concentration, individual errors, and Arsenal's recent inability to protect leads. Despite controlling the game, creating heavily, and topping the group in style, the conversation quickly turns to why clean sheets have disappeared and why “control” — once Arsenal's defining strength — is starting to erode.There's analysis of Kai Havertz's return, Viktor Gyökeres' night in front of goal, Gabriel Jesus' ongoing role in the squad, and the balance between occupying defenders versus offering genuine attacking threat. The discussion also looks at Martin Ødegaard's form, the noise surrounding his place in the side, and whether changes in midfield would actually solve the bigger issues at play.Attention then shifts to what comes next. With Leeds United up next in the league, the hosts examine why this fixture could act as another reset point — much like it has in previous seasons — and what Arsenal must rediscover if they're to re-establish their defensive authority and momentum in the title race.There's also the weekly Who Am I? game, a look ahead to key Premier League fixtures elsewhere, and Jus' latest Six Pack, ranking the best seasons by newly promoted teams in Premier League history.A perfect European run. Plenty of goals. But with standards slipping at the back, the bigger test may still lie ahead.

What does it mean to remain faithful when life feels uncertain?   Adrienne Gold Davis sits down with Momentum's Founding Director, Lori Palatnik, for a thoughtful conversation about Emunah, not as blind belief, but as lived faithfulness rooted in responsibility, courage, and presence.   Drawing on Jewish wisdom, leadership experience, and personal reflection, Lori shares how Emunah shows up in real life: in moments of doubt, in leadership decisions, and in the quiet daily choices Jewish women make for their families and communities.   The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois.

AI data centers are driving rapid demand growth, exposing the limits of traditional electricity forecasting and planning. --- Electricity demand in the United States is rising fast, fueled in large part by the rapid expansion of AI data centers. Grid operators have repeatedly revised their demand forecasts upward as they try to anticipate how much new power these facilities, along with other emerging loads such as advanced manufacturing and crypto mining, will require. In January, however, something unexpected happened. PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest grid operator, lowered its demand growth outlook, just weeks after a capacity auction driven by expectations of booming demand produced record high prices. Estimating how much electricity new data centers and other large loads will actually add to the grid is difficult, and the uncertainty cuts both ways. Overestimating demand can leave consumers paying for grid infrastructure that never gets fully used. Underestimating it can threaten reliability. All of this is playing out as the rapid buildout of data centers is increasingly framed as a question of economic competitiveness and national security. On the podcast, Shana Ramirez and Arne Olson of Energy and Environmental Economics argue that while improving forecast accuracy remains important, uncertainty itself needs to play a more central role in how the grid is planned and governed. In a recent E3 paper, they lay out why demand forecasts will remain imperfect, and why grid rules and planning processes should be designed to work across a range of possible outcomes rather than relying on a single view of the future. Ramirez and Olson discuss the reliability and cost challenges this uncertainty creates and describe governance approaches that could help the power system remain reliable and affordable as new loads come online. Shana Ramirez is director, asset valuation and markets at E3. Arne Olson is a senior partner at E3.

Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates are having what appears to be a messy divorce. It seems the Pirates are avoiding the McCutchen talk. McCutchen took to social media to talk about how frustrated he is with the Pirates. If he's not coming back the Pirates deserve to tell him. The Penguins won again in Vancouver and Ben Kindel scored two goals. Dan Muse has gotten the most out of this roster and has good depth scoring.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Art Rooney II thinks the Steelers have been in contention over the years. He said there is frustration but he would rather be in contention. Joe thinks that Art is under the delusion that he is contending. Bill Cowher and Willie Colon are very happy about the hire! Andrew McCutchen wants to come back but the Pirates don't see they want to commit to Cutch again.
