Podcasts about uncertain world

A Fixed Heart in an Uncertain World - Psalm 57:7 The sermon centers on the steadfastness found in Psalm 57:7, emphasizing that a fixed heart, rooted in faith and unwavering trust in God, provides stability amidst life's uncertainties. Drawing parallels to David's experience of persecution, the message highlights the importance of anchoring one's convictions in Scripture, resisting worldly influences, and expressing faith through consistent worship and testimony. Ultimately, a fixed heart, cultivated through grace and a commitment to God's truth, brings peace, strengthens the church, and reflects a life devoted to glorifying the Savior.

Hebrews 11:1-3

Anne Walsh, Chief Investment Officer of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, joins Macro Markets for a look back at the first half of 2025 and shares her outlook on the economy, rates, fiscal policy, monetary policy, and relative value. As we head into the second half of the year, the best approach to navigating the noise of market volatility is to stay focused on the long-term signals, which are positive for active fixed-income management. Follow this link to the March 2025 commentary by Walsh referenced in this episode, titled “Don't Let Policy Volatility Overshadow Market Opportunity.” Related Content:Stay Focused on Macro Themes During Tricky Investment Environment Anne Walsh, CIO of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, joins Fox Business to discuss Fed policy, rate cuts, and current investment opportunities Watch Now Solving the Core Fixed-Income Conundrum An active, diversified, multisector approach to meeting the total return objectives of core fixed-income management without taking undue risk.

Listen to Macro MarketsInvesting involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility. Private debt investments are generally considered illiquid and not quoted on any exchange; thus they are difficult to value. The process of valuing investments for which reliable market quotations are not available is based on inherent uncertainties and may not be accurate.

From the EU to NATO, the Prime Minister is focused on two defence fronts this week. A new partnership with the European Union could overhaul our approach to military purchases at a time the Carney government is looking to end our reliance on the US. At the same time Canada and other NATO countries are facing pressure from the US to massively increase our defence spending by more than doubling our goal from 2% of GDP to 5%. Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Canada's former Chief of Defence Staff about the federal government changing the approach to our armed forces, whether we can hit the new target, and if the United States will continue on in the military alliance.We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

"It ain't about how hard you get hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa Supply chain professionals know how to take a hit. In most cases, they are strong enough to get back up time and time again. How quickly they are back on their feet each time is an indication of resilience, an essential quality that can be improved through reflection, examination, and analysis. In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Sunder Balakrishnan. Sunder is the Director of Supply Chain Analytics for LatentView Analytics, where he specializes in consumer products, retail, technology, and industrial automotive. His background includes roles focused on process and data, all with the end goal of solving some of the biggest challenges facing companies today. Sunder takes on both the idea of resilience and the effort to make our supply chains more so: Where the majority of disruptions take place in supply chains today The level of visibility most companies have into their multi-tier supply chain at the beginning of their resilience journey How to focus on getting back up faster, putting processes and systems in place to offer supply chain teams a much-needed boost Links: Sunder Balakrishnan on LinkedIn

Join us as Pastor Mike continues our sermon series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a sermon entitled "Living with Certainty in an Uncertain World" from Ecclesiastes 11:1-8.

There is yet more uncertainty in the US economy. US President Trump appealed the ruling that their trade taxes were illegal. While this is decided, the taxes stay. There are thus three layers of uncertainty. Will the taxes survive? If they are illegal, will US companies and consumers get refunds? And are trade taxes today actually being collected? There is also uncertainty around how US companies will react to this uncertainty, especially with pricing.

Today's topic is at the heart of the Quiet Builder philosophy. The question is, “How do we design a business that supports our lives, not swallows it?” This becomes increasingly important as the world grows more uncertain and our responsibilities grow daily. This episode is for anyone building a business that fits into real life, and not the other way around.You'll Learn:My pandemic story of stepping back and reassessing my business3 anchors for building a life-first business in an uncertain world:Design for margin, not maximum.Clarity comes from creating margin, not hustling.Designing for margin is how we stay well enough to serve others.Build products that don't require your constant presence.Design for asymmetry, where value isn't tied to one-to-one time.A life-first business scales impact, not just hours.Plan around what you can't plan for.Your business should be designed to absorb disruption, not collapse under it.Strategies that work for me are “Walden months,” a hard growth ceiling on STC, and allowing maximum flexibility to travel when loved ones need extra help.

In this episode, we're tackling one of the biggest questions in the future of work:

How is our fear of uncertainty holding us back? Could an acceptance and willingness to embrace the unknown unlock new potential and innovation?  Margaret Heffernan is a professor of Practice at the University of Bath, an entrepreneur, and a mentor to CEOs. Her books include Willful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril, Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future, and most recently Embracing Uncertainty: How writers, musicians and artists thrive in an unpredictable world.Margaret and Greg discuss the importance of embracing uncertainty in business and life, the value of creative thinking, and the pitfalls of over-reliance on predictability and data models.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why dissent is the secret engine of creativity and better ideas34:46: Our obsession with efficiency means that we may prioritize management over productivity, and critical to productivity is diversity, debate, dissent, because this is how bad ideas get turned into good ideas. I mean, as a CEO I could waltz into work one day with an idea, which I thought was fantastic. And the great gift I was given were  a lot of employees who would think, "Oh God, here she comes back with another terrible idea," and say, "Well, I don't know. What if we did it like this? So what if we did it like that?...[35:31] But at the end of a very long process, you end up with something which started with my bad idea and gradually got a lot better because of everybody else's input, and turns out to be marvelous at the end. But that dissent is absolutely fundamental to the creative process.What's the relationship between being a noticer and being creative?39:11:  It's impossible to be creative without being a noticer, for a start. And I think that the great value of being observant and thinking about what you see is it keeps you much more in touch with what's going on in the world.The danger of mental models and the power of an open mind45:55: The danger of mental models is that they will attract confirming evidence and marginalize, or disguise disconfirming data. And so, the antidotes to that are certainly about having enough time to be in different places with different people who think differently. Having a sufficiently open mind to be prepared to notice this confirmation. Having an open mind prepared to change one's mind. And having, I guess, a way of thinking that tends more towards skepticism.Why embracing uncertainty means loosening up, not tightening down57:32:  Engineers talk a lot about tight and loose. I think much that has gone wrong in organizational life is a function of being too tight. And it sounds very counterintuitive because it is counterintuitive, but uncertainty requires that we loosen up in order to be able to respond more flexibly. And I think you are exactly right that pertains as much to us as individuals, as it does to the largest corporations in the world.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Gerd GigerenzerRichard S.

Economic commentators often look at consumer spending as a barometer for confidence and outlook - how good or bad financially do individuals and families think the broader economy is, and how profitable it will be for them? The same can perhaps be said for companies and hiring managers. How confident are they that they will be able to keep people employed in uncertain times, and what skills are they most eager to invest their scarce dollars in? In this week's Art of Supply interview, Kelly Barner speaks with Christine Corson, Managing Director of Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Engineering Recruitment at DSJ Global. She is focused on manufacturing labor at the management level in a way that allows her to form her own opinion of industry outlook, confidence, and planning horizon.

What We Discuss: Humans crave certainty, which can lead us to look for patterns that aren't there and make poor decisions. Being completely certain about something often indicates a problem in our thinking. Podcasting and media have evolved significantly, with success now requiring authenticity and strong relationships rather than just technical skills.
