What happens when your entire market disappears overnight? That was the reality facing LoopUp when the pandemic transformed the way the world communicates. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Steve Flavell, co-CEO of LoopUp, to talk about how his company turned disruption into a defining moment of reinvention. LoopUp began in 2003 with a mission to make conference calls less painful. For over a decade, the company grew steadily, even going public on the London Stock Exchange in 2016. But when Teams and Zoom became household names during the pandemic, LoopUp's core business all but vanished. Faced with that challenge, Steve and his team made a bold pivot, moving into global cloud telephony for Microsoft Teams. That shift didn't just save the company, it transformed it into what Steve now calls the world's most multinational telco, providing enterprise voice services in 136 countries. Steve shares what it took to steer through that transformation, from managing fivefold surges in traffic to building a scalable global service model. He also reflects on the leadership lessons learned along the way, including the power of persistence, transparent communication, and the strength of his 22-year co-founder partnership with Michael Hughes. This is a story of resilience, clarity, and strategic courage. For any founder or business leader who's ever faced a market shock or wondered how to evolve when everything changes, Steve's journey offers an honest and inspiring roadmap for rebuilding stronger than before.

We recorded this episode across Friday afternoon and deep into the evening inside the Blue Zone at COP30. At the time of publishing, there is still no final deal. The negotiations are ongoing, positions are shifting, and the outcome remains uncertain. We know that by the time you listen, some of what we heard today may already have changed, but we decided there was value in sharing the day with you. This episode is meant as a time capsule.We wanted to bring you inside the atmosphere of a COP Friday: the outrage, the optimism, the urgency, and the sheer human effort that goes into trying to land a deal. Rather than wait for the dust to settle, we spoke to the people living this moment. City leaders. Climate diplomats. Ministers from the front lines. Seasoned negotiators who've been in this process for decades. Activists still fighting for the best possible outcome for the planet. Their perspectives were captured as they were living this day, not in hindsight.This episode captures the feeling of a COP Friday: the confusion, the determination, the fear of losing ambition, and the belief, still alive in many corners, that progress is possible if countries choose it.With thanks to those who spoke with us:⁠Eric Garcetti, former US Ambassador to India and former mayor of LA Mark Watts, CEO of C40⁠Matt Webb, Associate Director for Global Clean Power Diplomacy, E3GGustavo Pinheiro, Senior Associate, E3G⁠Irene Velez Torres, Colombian Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development and head of the Colombian delegation⁠Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Ghanian Negotiator and incoming head of Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN)Giovanni Maurice Pradipta, Foundation for Sustainability

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu and his co-host Drew dive headfirst into some of the most pressing issues shaping our future. From the volatility of today's markets and the AI boom, to the complexities of wealth, government spending, and the evolution of education, this episode is a masterclass in first-principles thinking matched with real-world urgency. You'll hear Tom Bilyeu dissect the hype and reality behind AI advancements and market bubbles, breaking down how future profits and technological bets are shaping everything from Tesla's stock price to global alliances with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Anthropic. On the education front, Drew and Tom Bilyeu debate the effectiveness of the Department of Education, why simply throwing money at societal problems doesn't work, and how AI could radically reshape how we learn—if we're willing to measure what truly matters. Of course, no episode is complete without a tough look at wealth inequality, the myth of the “billionaire quick fix,” and what it actually takes to build a lasting, thriving society. Expect strong opinions, grounded wisdom, and plenty of laughs as Tom Bilyeu and Drew challenge conventional thinking and explore what it means to thrive in an era of exponential change.

2025 has not gone according to plan.Real estate has been bandied about by headwinds of economic, policy and fundamental changes. Interest rate reductions and rising deal flow has the industry feeling better, but stability is a pipe dream these days, especially when federal data is missing and CRE research can conflict.But forget about the data, economist Peter Linneman said on this week's show — how is it really going in your apartments or your office building?He said CRE has gotten hooked on data analysis and has forgotten that what really matters are the fundamentals on the ground.And while he agrees that uncertainty is the new normal, and that's trouble for CRE, “people adjust.”He foresees a meaningful return to transactions in 2026.“There are people out there with courage, but they don't have capital. And there are others out there whose short investment horizons have made them understandably and correctly not courageous,” he said.“But when everybody else starts jumping, it'll be like the wildebeests crossing the river. They all jump in.”

With the historic government shutdown behind us, we dig back into key economic data captured over the duration of the shutdown: highlights include a modest improvement in housing activity, favorable labor market indicators despite data being somewhat stale, and mixed signals from the Federal Reserve amid uncertainty over December rate cuts. Equity markets showed heightened volatility, with strong earnings failing to sustain momentum, suggesting potential consolidation through year-end. Fixed income markets remain highly sensitive to Fed commentary, reflecting divergent views among policymakers. We also take a walk down memory lane to our 2025 predictions from last year—accurate on most calls—and preview the themes we think will impact 2026: global shifts toward nationalism, AI-driven disruption, and structural changes in financial markets. Please join us on December 3 for our last National Call of the year, when we'll dig into these topics and take questions from the audience.  Speakers: Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment Strategy George Mateyo, Chief Investment Officer Stephen Hoedt, Head of Equities Rajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income  01:53 – Current Market and Economic Updates. Housing market improvement with existing home sales. Labor market stability, with unemployment claims holding and payrolls showing growth. Federal Reserve uncertainty, as October FOMC minutes reveal mixed opinions on rate cuts. Corporate earnings reports, which were strong but met with negative market reactions   08:04 – Equity Market Volatility and Seasonal Trends. Equity markets experienced an “outside day” with sharp reversals despite strong earnings. After strong September–October rallies, November–December may see consolidation rather than a typical year-end rally   11:46 – Fed Policy and Fixed Income Market Outlook. Fixed income markets are highly sensitive to Fed signals amid data gaps from the government shutdown. Divergence among Fed members on rate cuts vs. a pause creates volatility.   15:11 – We look back at our predictions from last year for 2025 trends and assess how accurate they were, and look ahead to our predictions for 2026, which we'll cover in more depth at our upcoming December 3 webinar (registration link below).  Additional Resources Attend: Key Wealth National Call: Managing Wealth in an Age of Disruption and Change  Key Questions Subscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletter Weekly Investment Brief Follow us on LinkedIn

Ai data centers require more power than is currently made in the U.S. The technology that is being fast tracked is nuclear. Why did it take Ai data centers to bring about the rollout of a clean energy that would provide low cost electricity for America? The answer is dark. The solution of power is for the machines, not the people. America's birth rate lets us see where this is going. The current birth rate is 1.64. This is a death spiral. That means the country we know ceases to exist in two generations. The future is for the machines, the people are the slaves. #BardsFM #PrisonPlanet #WalkingWithJesus Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Welcome Back to the "I won't keep quiet" series! Career Coach, Crystal Williams, opened up by celebrating National Career Development Month with the theme "Futureproof Your Career: Accelerate through Uncertainty," and highlighted the "I Won't Keep Quiet" series, which focuses on sharing testimonies about God's goodness and aligns with the scripture Esther 4:14, noting that a period of isolation for spiritual preparation and renewal has an expiration date, requiring them to "come out from the background." Crystal Williams asserted that true transformation is required to recognize oneself as more than a conqueror, emphasizing that "no negotiating with God" exists in the call to action, offering scriptures such as Psalms 23:1 and Romans 8:37 for biblical affirmation.

Despite a dip on the Small Business Optimism Index, it's the 12-point drop on the uncertainty index and a cooling of price hike intentions that has Gene Marks pointing to a potential brighter run in the new year. Gene also shares insights on why nobody wants to become a manager and sees this as an opportunity to make improvements in training. AI keeps marching through the workplace, with 30% of firms surveyed noting that they will use the tech to replace workers in 2026. What industries are most susceptible?

Today, I want to talk about something that both humbles us and shapes us something we all resist, yet secretly long for: change. 

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Boss and AppFueledThere's a lot you can ignore in marketing, but legal compliance isn't one of them. Especially when a quiet policy change in California nearly stripped shops of their ability to track marketing ROI overnight. This episode dives into the legalities of call recording, AI evaluations, tracking numbers, and the kind of red tape that can blindside your business if you're not paying attention. Brian Walker sat down with David Boyd from Inbound at AAPEX to talk through what's happening, what's coming, and how to protect your shop without sacrificing performance.

Stay productive, confident, and proactive by using proven strategies from ShopSabre's Talkin' Shop podcast. Hosts Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters discuss real-world challenges such as supply chain issues, rising costs, and labor shortages, and show how you can turn these problems into growth opportunities through automation and smart choices. This episode explores how uncertainty is a normal part of running a shop, especially in manufacturing and CNC work. Find out why reacting emotionally can slow you down, and see how focusing on what you can control, like your attitude, effort, and important tasks, helps you build momentum. Learn the difference between just being busy and actually being productive, with tips on delegating, automating simple tasks, and tracking key performance indicators for long-term efficiency. The hosts share real examples, such as using CNC fixtures like All Star gaskets for holding small parts and improving workflows to cut waste when costs go up.

We thought deeply about the societal implications of Paw Patrol before this amazing episode! The main science discussion involved a pair of strange, counter-intuitive wrinkles of physiology. The first was the sometimes paradoxical finding of higher hemoglobin A1c in many elite athletes. The second involved a new paper addressing a connection between suppressed thyroid hormones and low energy availability. Both phenomena demonstrate how physiology is a complex system. Also, it's possible that concerning bloodwork means one thing... or the polar opposite. We have fun breaking it all down!And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: Megan's Just Say No To Rhabdo training run, David's first treadmill workout on the comeback trail, a follow-up on bowls and buckets, the winter training plan, findings jobs in running, the pardon of Michelino Sunseri, running form 101, altitude tents, structuring training weeks, prepping for Survivor, fueling winter races, what to do about elevated heart rate, and lots more.This one is full of nuance. And after you listen, you'll realize that “full of Nuance” should be in the back room and cost extra.We love you all!

[Part 3 of 5] Most perfectionists find it challenging to plan out their week when they don't know what will come up or how much energy they'll have. Whether you're working an exhausting day job, doing shift work or raising young children alongside building your business - there are certain things that can feel hard to plan around. Especially when no one has taught you how to plan properly… Some perfectionists plan their week as if everything will go smoothly, hoping for the best and then abandoning their plans when the inevitable happens. Others feel like they can't make plans at all and wing it day-by-day, praying they'll be able to find the motivation to do what matters most. But neither of these approaches work. That's why I interviewed Michelle Weeks on how to plan properly amidst uncertainty. Michelle is a PGSD Coach as well as being a life coach. Michelle and I are mothers of 6-month-old babies (Freddie and Lydia). And we're both using Power Planning to get out of our own way and get shit done in our businesses. Tune into this episode to discover all of the practical things we do to make Power Planning work for us when life is throwing constant curveballs. Doors close Friday: This is our final enrollment of the year for Perfectionists Getting Shit Done. When you sign up for PGSD, you'll get instant access to the Power Planning Course so you can start planning properly as a perfectionist right away and start 2026 with PGSD by your side.

While you would have thought investors would have rejoiced in the government reopening this week after forty-three days, the markets are still a little jittery about what's ahead in the coming months. Due to the data desert over the last several weeks, it's been hard to get a sense of where the job market is and if there is economic growth. All things that could impact the Federal Reserve's move early next month. There have been some bright spots, however, as earnings season has exceeded expectations and consumer spending remains stable. But of course, there is still a risk of another partial shutdown in January, and so many questions about the rise of artificial intelligence, Brian Jacobsen, the Chief Economist Strategist at Annex Wealth Management, joins FOX Business Taylor Riggs to discuss how investors may navigate the coming weeks, where he thinks the economy is, and where the surging artificial intelligence sector may be going.

Sometimes life throws real challenges at you. Medical issues. Loss. Uncertainty. The kind of stuff that makes anxiety feel completely justified. So how do you move forward when you're genuinely scared AND dealing with actual difficult circumstances?In this episode, we share some of the most powerful "did it anyway" stories we've ever received. From someone facing serious health challenges to a marathon runner dealing with panic attacks, these listeners show us what it really means to engage with life even when things are legitimately hard.We talk about why waiting to "fix yourself" before living your life doesn't work, how to handle the reality that feelings don't always indicate actual danger, and what it means to let both the good and difficult parts of life exist at the same time. You don't have to be fearless. But you can do what matters even while you're afraid.If you're struggling with the gap between how you feel and what you want to do with your life, this episode might help you see that moving forward is possible, even when it feels impossible.---Want to interact with Josh, Drew, and other Disordered listeners?  The Disordered app is nearing release! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our home page and get on our mailing list for more information.⁠.---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? ⁠Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.
