Christian Munafo surveys the IPO market, saying the pro-business policies people expected from the Trump administration this year have not materialized. However, there are still notable IPOs this year, including Coreweave (CRWV), Voyager (VOYG), Chime (CHYM), and more. Still, he notes that even though, for example, Chime opened higher than its IPO price, it still falls under its private value after its last round of fundraising. Overall, he expects more high-profile listings and M&A activity but warns that companies will stay private for longer than usual.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What happens when you achieve everything society calls "success" but still feel empty inside? Dr. Sharon Spano walks us through this profound paradox that affects countless high-achieving leaders.Drawing from her extensive experience as a consultant with a PhD in human organizational systems, Dr. Spano reveals the hidden patterns that create what she calls "the emptiness of success." We explore how accomplished professionals with million-dollar homes and impressive careers often reach out for help when they realize material success hasn't delivered the fulfillment they expected.Dr. Spano shares powerful insights about the "hidden loyalties" we carry from our family histories that unconsciously shape our relationship with success. Through moving client stories, she demonstrates how seemingly innocent parental advice like "you have to work very hard in America or you'll be left behind" can create lifelong patterns of never feeling enough despite extraordinary achievements.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Dr. Spano opens up about raising and eventually losing her disabled son, and how this profound experience shaped her capacity for empathy and understanding in her work with leaders. This heartfelt discussion illuminates how our greatest challenges often become the foundation for our most meaningful contributions.For leaders feeling trapped in the hustle culture, Dr. Spano offers practical wisdom for moving toward harmony: recognize work will never be completely done, identify your top priorities each day, and practice being fully present wherever you are. Her approach integrates professional growth with character development, creating what she calls "the other side of potential."Take the first step toward breaking free from empty success by visiting SharonSpano.com/uncommon-leader to access her Leader's Edge assessment and discover where you stand in the stages of human development.Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

What's the single most powerful force behind sustainable transformation in leadership and life? According to leadership expert Dave Campbell, it's consistency. In this deeply personal conversation, Dave reveals how he achieved the best physical shape of his life at age 55 through unwavering daily disciplines that transformed not just his body, but his leadership impact. His journey illuminates the critical connection between personal wellbeing and leadership effectiveness—"You have to take care of yourself, because your presence, your ability to show up, is absolutely critical."Dave unpacks his "mind, body, soul" framework for holistic growth, explaining how carefully curating your daily inputs fundamentally shapes your leadership outputs. He challenges listeners with the confronting truth that "you get what you are, not what you want," prompting deeper reflection on the alignment between aspirations and current reality.The conversation explores how identity shifts create lasting behavioral change, why environment is stronger than willpower, and the game-changing principle of "consistency before intensity" for anyone struggling to begin their transformation journey. Rather than aiming for dramatic overnight change, Dave advocates starting with small daily wins that compound over time.Whether you're looking to elevate your leadership influence or transform any aspect of your life, this episode offers practical wisdom for sustainable growth. Start your journey today by choosing one small daily habit that aligns with your vision, committing to consistency, and watching as small wins compound into remarkable transformation.Connect with David on LinkedInThanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

Christian business leaders need to measure beyond traditional key performance indicators by adopting Kingdom Performance Indicators (KPIs) that track eternal impact. These new metrics reveal why we're doing business and who we're truly impacting beyond immediate stakeholders.• Traditional KPIs measure financial and operational performance but fall short of measuring kingdom impact• The shopping cart story illustrates how small acts of stewardship reflect our approach to business and leadership• Kingdom Performance Indicators might include charitable impact, volunteer hours, or testimonials from affected lives• Define your "why" with eternal significance—understand your purpose beyond providing products or generating profit• Implement the 3H framework: Heart (demonstrating love), Home (cultivating culture), Hands (using resources to serve)• Intentionally measure kingdom impact with SMART goals and regular assessment• True success transcends the bottom line and creates a legacy of positive impactGo and grow champions.Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

In today's podcast, Stuart Wemyss and I discuss the complexities of managing underperforming property investments, and how to decide when and if you should sell your property .  We explore everything from the emotional traps that can cloud our judgment to strategic considerations like tax implications and portfolio rebalancing.  Takeaways  Investing is a long-term journey, often taking decades to develop financial independence.  The quality of your asset is crucial for long-term returns.  Benchmarking performance relative to market conditions is essential.  Market cycles can significantly affect property values.  Recognising a poor investment is a brave but necessary step   Emotional decisions can cloud your judgment  Patience is key; sometimes waiting is the best strategy.  Tax implications should be considered when selling assets.  Holistic financial advice can optimise investment strategies.  Replacement assets can provide a strategic way to manage underperforming investments.  If you find yourself digging a hole, stop.  Sometimes the right thing to do is nothing.  Chapters  01:06 Understanding Underperforming Investments  10:42 The Importance of Patience in Investing  20:19 Evaluating Investment Decisions and Timing  28:09 Holistic Investment Strategies and Seeking Advice  28:14 Introduction to Wealth Retreat 2025  29:44 The Importance of Quick Decision Making in Property Investment  31:26 The Long Journey to Wealth  32:51 Building a Legacy of Wealth  33:38 Understanding Market Trends and Analysis    Links and Resources:       Michael Yardney  Stuart Wemyss – Prosolution Private Clients     Stuart's Book – Rules of the Lending Game & Investopoly     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us     Join us at Wealth Retreat - Australia's Premier Wealth Retreat for Elite Investors and Business People www.WealthRetreat.com.au      Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future. 

Rich Sanders brings a remarkably unique perspective to the Uncommon Leader Podcast as both a pastor and successful entrepreneur. With his powerful motto—"The more we make, the more we give"—Sanders tackles the perceived tension between Christian values and business success, offering a refreshing framework that celebrates both hard work and generous giving as expressions of faith.Throughout our conversation, Sanders draws from his experience as a military veteran, business owner, and spiritual leader to illuminate how capitalism and Christianity can not only coexist but thrive together when properly aligned. He introduces the concept of "philanthropic capitalism" but takes it deeper, arguing that without genuine love for others, corporate giving risks becoming just another marketing strategy.One of the most memorable moments comes when Sanders shares a profound encounter with a homeless man who, despite having nothing by conventional standards, demonstrated extraordinary spiritual wealth through his complete trust in God's provision. This story challenges listeners to reconsider what true abundance really means in both business and life.For Christian business leaders navigating workplace dynamics, Sanders offers practical wisdom on leading by example rather than overt evangelism. "People will know you by your love," he explains, suggesting that authentic faith naturally shines through our actions, decisions, and treatment of others without requiring explicit religious language.Sanders also introduces his nonprofit initiative, Koinonia Mission, created to help Christians serve their communities outside traditional church frameworks. This project reflects his commitment to making faith-based service accessible to everyone, regardless of their relationship with organized religion.Whether you're a business professional seeking to integrate your faith more authentically in your work or simply curious about the intersection of spiritual and financial success, this conversation offers thoughtful insights on building a purposeful career that honors both profit and people. How might your business decisions change if you approached them through the lens of "the more we make, the more we give"?Connect with Rick: https://christiancapitalist.life/Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

Trust forms the foundation of leadership, functioning like a bank account where we make deposits through positive actions and withdrawals through negative behaviors.• Trust requires doing what you say, saying what you do, and being authentically human in all interactions• It often takes "99 attaboys to make up for one aw crap moment" in leadership• When trust is broken, asking for forgiveness isn't enough—behavior change is essential• Apologizing without changing behavior is like "patching a bucket while still running water into it"• The Platinum Rule suggests treating others how they want to be treated, not just how you want to be treated• Building trust requires consistent deposits that accumulate interest over timeShare this episode with someone who needs to hear it and leave a five-star review to help more uncommon leaders discover this message.

In this fascinating conversation, Marcus reveals how his near-business failure during the 2008 recession led him to discover powerful principles of trust-building that transformed his pool company into an industry leader and launched his career as a sought-after speaker and author.At the heart of Marcus's philosophy are what he calls the "four pillars of a known and trusted brand" - be willing to say what others won't say, show what others won't show, sell how others won't sell, and be more human than the competition. Through compelling examples like Yale Appliance publishing which brands require the most service calls and his own company's radical transparency about pricing, Marcus demonstrates how vulnerability creates trust at scale.The pride cycle emerges as a fascinating thread throughout our conversation - how pain leads to innovation, innovation leads to success, success breeds comfort, comfort kills innovation, and the cycle repeats. Breaking this cycle requires constant self-auditing and a willingness to disrupt your own business before someone else does it for you.With AI transforming entire industries seemingly overnight, Marcus delivers perhaps his most provocative challenge: businesses cannot allow personal opinions about technology to interfere with smart business decisions. Those creating a culture of AI experimentation today will appear superhuman to competitors tomorrow, offering better services at previously impossible prices.Whether you're looking to become the most trusted voice in your industry, break free from the pride cycle, or simply build a more resilient business in uncertain times, this episode offers practical wisdom you can implement immediately. As Marcus so powerfully states: "It's dumb not to dumb it down" - the goal isn't to sound smart, but to be understood.Connect with Marcus:WebsiteEndless Customers BookThanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

While what Juan Soto has said isn't the stuff Mets fans would want to hear, Sal believes that the biggest issue for Soto right now is the fact he is underperforming.

You asked, so I'm answering girl—how the hell do we fuel properly for sprinting? There's a lot of noise out there. Some say “sprints are short, so you don't need much.” But if you've ever sprinted properly—I mean real, all-out, full-body-on-fire kind of sprinting—you'll know that's not true. In this EP, I break down the exact science behind the three energy systems your body uses when sprinting (yes, three—not just one), and then I walk you through how I actually fuel for sprint sessions. I'm talking about real strategy—not theory—what I eat, when I eat it, and why. I'll show you how fuelling well can make the difference between power and burnout. Between flying and flailing. If you're training for performance (or aesthetics), this is a game-changer. Key Takeaways: What energy systems power sprinting (ATP-PCr, glycolytic, and aerobic) Why creatine and carbohydrates are essential for short, explosive efforts What to eat before, during, and after a sprint session for peak performance The difference between fuelling for general training vs sprint-specific sessions How under-fuelling kills your power output and stalls your progress A step-by-step breakdown of my own pre-, intra-, and post-sprint fuelling strategy Why most women aren't actually sprinting hard enough to need advanced fuelling—but how to work up to it How to personalise your sprint fuelling plan based on your intensity, duration, and recovery needs Quotes: “Trying to sprint without fuel is like pushing the gas pedal with an empty tank—it splutters and stalls. That's your body under-fueled.” “It's not just about pre-workout meals. How you fuel across the day—and week—builds your power, not just your plate.” “You don't earn power with discipline. You earn it with precision—and food is part of that precision.” “Most women aren't sprinting hard enough to need intra-workout fuel. But if you are? A couple of dates and some EAAs might just change the game.” “Science is great—but experience is better. I've spent the last year testing this on my own body. Here's what works.” Studies, Research & Protocols Mentioned Smith-Ryan, A.E., Fukuda, D.H., Stout, J.R., et al. (2021). "Creatine Supplementation in Women's Health: A Lifespan Perspective."

In this episode of World's Greatest Boss, Jackie Koch chats about one of the most common and challenging issues in leadership: handling underperforming employees. As a boss, it's tempting to make subtle changes—like cutting hours, posting a new job, or quietly giving tasks to other team members—hoping the problem will resolve itself. Spoiler: It doesn't work.Jackie breaks down the four biggest mistakes managers make when dealing with performance issues and provides practical advice for handling these situations the right way. You'll learn why direct and honest communication is crucial, how to avoid sending mixed messages, and why leading with transparency fosters a culture of trust. Plus, Jackie shares how to document conversations to protect your business while also being fair and kind.What You'll Hear in This Episode:[1:00] The problem with cutting hours or changing schedules to encourage employees to quit.[6:45] Why posting a higher-level job and letting current employees apply is unfair and ineffective.[12:10] How subtly taking away responsibilities can lead to confusion and resentment.[18:30] The danger of ignoring underperformers in the hope they'll leave on their own.[25:00] Bonus mistake: Stopping engagement with an underperformer instead of addressing the problem.Key Takeaways:Don't Change Schedules or Hours: Hoping employees will quit on their own when you change their shifts or workload only creates confusion and frustration, not improvement.Avoid Posting the Job and Letting Employees Reapply: It's unfair and sends a message that you've already written them off. Instead, clearly communicate expectations and offer support.Stop Quietly Reassigning Tasks: Taking responsibilities away without explanation demotivates both the under performer and the rest of the team.Don't Ignore the Problem: Avoidance only leads to bigger issues later. Have honest, consistent conversations, and document everything.Leadership Is Practice: Mistakes happen—what matters is learning from them and being transparent in your leadership journey.Connect with Jackie:Follow Jackie on LinkedIn: Jackie Koch on LinkedInVisit the website: People PrinciplesEnjoying the podcast?

What if everything you thought you knew about personal change was wrong? Michael Lopez, author of the Amazon bestselling book "Change: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Transform Your Brain, Body and Behavior," shatters conventional wisdom with science-backed insights that revolutionize how we approach transformation.Drawing from his diverse background as a consultant, intelligence officer, athlete, and youth coach, Lopez reveals why most change efforts fail despite our best intentions. The problem isn't lack of motivation—it's that we're working against our brain's natural mechanisms rather than with them.The conversation explores fascinating neuroscience concepts in accessible terms. Lopez explains that after age 25, our brains stop creating new neurons but can repurpose existing neural pathways—like deer creating trails through a forest by walking the same paths repeatedly. This means successful change requires not just adding new behaviors but consciously identifying what we'll give up to create space.Most surprising is Lopez's perspective on stress. While chronic stress harms us, intentionally exposing ourselves to short-term, managed discomfort actually strengthens our anterior cingulate cortex—the brain region responsible for doing hard things. This explains why athletes often demonstrate exceptional mental toughness and why challenging ourselves regularly builds our capacity for change.Whether you're a leader guiding organizational transformation, an athlete pushing performance boundaries, or simply someone wanting to break stubborn habits, Lopez offers practical strategies that work with your brain's natural processes. His approach isn't about willpower or motivation tricks—it's about understanding the biological foundations of change and leveraging them for lasting transformation.Ready to develop change as a lifelong skill? This episode illuminates the path forward with the profound question: "Who might you be on the other side of what you're afraid of?"Connect with Michael:Personal WebsiteBookLinkedInThanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

How do you transform losing teams into champions? What makes an uncommon leader? Coach Jim Johnson discovered the answers to these questions through both devastating failure and extraordinary success during his 30-year basketball coaching career.The journey begins with humility. After being fired from his first coaching position following 17 consecutive losses, Johnson realized he had much to learn about leadership. This humbling experience became the catalyst for developing seven leadership keys that ultimately produced 428 victories and transformed multiple basketball programs.At the heart of Johnson's leadership philosophy lies the understanding that great leadership starts with self-leadership. "Who's the first person you need to lead? Yourself," Johnson explains. This means clarifying your personal mission and core values before attempting to lead others. From there, building trust becomes foundational—aligning words with actions, telling the truth (even when difficult), and providing specific, meaningful recognition.The conversation takes an extraordinary turn when Johnson shares what he calls "the greatest night I ever had in coaching." The J-Mac story—where team manager Jason McElwain, a student with autism, scored 20 points including six three-pointers in the final four minutes of his first and only game—transcends basketball. What made this moment truly special wasn't just J-Mac's performance, but how the team deliberately chose to "shine the light" on their manager, exemplifying the "we over me" mentality Johnson had cultivated.Throughout his leadership journey, Johnson discovered the power of vulnerability and becoming what he calls the "chief question asker" rather than simply providing answers. By shifting from dictating to listening, he empowered players to take ownership and exceed their perceived limitations.Whether you're leading a business team, coaching athletes, or simply striving to become a better version of yourself, Coach Johnson's principles offer a roadmap for authentic, transformative leadership. His message—respect all people—serves as both a guiding value and a challenge to leaders everywhere.Learn More About Coach Jim Johnson: Visit his website at coachjimjohnson.com for more information on his leadership programs and speaking engagements.Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

What if the comfortable goals you've been setting are actually holding you back from your greatest achievements? In this inaugural episode of The After Show, I challenge the conventional wisdom of SMART goal-setting by proposing a powerful shift: replacing "Realistic" with "Hard" to create SMAHT goals (Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Hard (or Heaven must help!), Time-based).When we set merely realistic goals, we stay in our comfort zones. But hard goals—those that make us squirm a little in our seats, that require new skills and outside help—these are the goals that transform us and the world around us. Consider Jesus commissioning his disciples to reach "all nations," not just a few—an impossibly hard goal at the time, yet one that changed history.I share my own struggle with perfectionism in launching this very podcast, waiting too long for everything to be "just right" before pushing record. As Chris Tucker's character in Rush Hour might say, sometimes you just need to "push the damn button" and get started. Hard goals require us to overcome these mental barriers and move forward despite imperfection.The path to achieving hard goals isn't mysterious. Write them down (increasing your chances of success by 80%), create a scorecard to track progress, and share your goals with someone who'll hold you accountable. I'm applying these principles to my own ambitious goal of reaching one million podcast downloads by the decade's end—not for personal glory, but because of the impact those million connections could create.Ready to choose your hard? As the poem says, "Life will never be easy. It will always be hard, but we can choose our hard." What impossible goal will you set today?Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

Susan Campbell never imagined she'd become an entrepreneur in her fifties, but when inspiration struck just weeks before her daughter's wedding, she couldn't ignore it. That divine spark led to South 23rd and the Porch Pop – an innovative solution transforming ordinary plastic plant pots into stylish decorative accents.Watching her father pursue a patent for his can crusher invention years ago planted entrepreneurial seeds that would bloom decades later. Though he never secured that patent, the experience taught Susan valuable lessons about persistence and innovation that she's applied to her own business journey.Susan's story resonates with anyone who's ever felt it might be "too late" to pursue a dream. When she won recognition through Vanity Fair's grant program associated with comedian Leanne Morgan's "Just Getting Started" tour, it validated what she already knew deep down – age is irrelevant when pursuing your passion.The Porch Pop itself was born from a common frustration many homeowners face. Susan loves seasonal plants but hated the unattractive plastic pots they came in. After an incident where guests were coming and her husband questioned the "ugly pots," resulting in beautiful flowers being hidden away, she knew there had to be a better solution.Without manufacturing experience, Susan faced countless unknowns, yet refused to let this stop her. Her approach was refreshingly simple: make calls, ask questions, follow leads, and take small steps forward consistently. "Do it scared," she advises, acknowledging that courage isn't the absence of fear but taking action despite it.Throughout her journey, faith has been Susan's foundation. She credits God with providing both the initial idea and the strength to overcome obstacles. This spiritual dimension, combined with her natural positive energy, has sustained her through the challenges of building a business from scratch.Susan's advice for aspiring entrepreneurs? "Trust your intuition" and "just get started." Don't fall victim to analysis paralysis – take that first step, however small, and keep moving forward. Your age, experience level, or background doesn't matter nearly as much as your willingness to begin.Ready to transform your home's ordinary spaces into something extraordinary?
