As the holiday shopping season approaches, retailers are competing for attention and ad dollars earlier than ever. Seema Shah shares her take on the trends shaping the retail landscape. She notes that while Black Friday used to mark the start of the holiday shopping season, it's now been pulled forward to October, with Amazon (AMZN) leading the charge with its Prime Days. Shah also points out that despite a pullback in advertising spending by some retailers, big-box stores like Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT) continue to dominate the ad space, making it increasingly difficult for smaller, mid-size businesses to break through the noise.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

UP Early with Babz Rawls-Ivy: Alder Jeanette Morrison "Q House Fall Ball" by WNHH Community Radio
You might have seen it online - social media influencers sharing their morning routines before work. Some start as early as 4 or 5 AM, turning those hours into their personal 5-to-9 before the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Michelle Obama, Bob Iger, and Apple CEO Tim Cook all claim to be up between 4 and 5 AM. There's a “5 AM club”, inspired by the habits of very successful people. But does waking up that early actually make us better at work? And there's even a whole industry of how to optimise your morning routine with supplements, journals and beauty products. In some cases, ice baths.Against his better judgement, Business Daily's Matt Lines signed himself up to a week of 4 AM starts and met those for whom this is a way of life. If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Matt Lines(Image: Matt Lines braving an ice bath as part of his research)

Today's "Morning Motivation" compilation is a powerful reminder that success doesn't always feel like success in the moment. It feels like stress. Like silence. Like crawling through the mud with no finish line in sight. But those feelings aren't signs you're lost, they're proof you're growing. In this episode, Eddie Pinero speaks to the power of persistence, the beauty of starting before you feel ready, and the importance of showing up when it's hardest. Wake up. Pick your head up. Take the next step. The life you want is built in moments like this.

“We will carve our place into time and space.” —Wild Things, Alessia Cara It's powerful outcry, a protest and empowerment song by Alessia, as sister/co-host Kerry loves music that's unapologetic - Things are heating up during July's Disability Pride Month (DPM). This week on Outlook we're continuing the Pride talk on another mixed bag with brother/co-host Brian's baseball adventures, reading image descriptions of the stadium, and then Kerry shares about her memories of seeing the Toronto Bluejay's Sky Dome (roof open and sky exposed or closed). Accessibility - how he and BF Barry asked at Guest Services for accessible ways to follow the game and a giant company like Rogers doing very little even with all their resources. Advocacy - summer being a time people love to attend festivals and a recent CBC London Morning segment speaking with an accessibility consultant in a wheelchair about how to make something like London's Sunfest more inclusive. And equality - describing the colours of the Disability Pride Flag as July's DPM continues. While Kerry and guide dog Oyster recently had a girl's day, watching Friends, sleeping on the couch, and going out in the back yard for which Kerry is writing an essay about in a July writing class: Oyster's Secret Garden, Brian and Barry had a good time out socialising in London and spending a lot of time on patios and at local spots across town. He shares about transportation issues and talking with Uber drivers, and. Kerry shares, while describing the need for colours and vivid imagery on a flag like that of DPM along with the grief she's now receiving peer support for when she misses seeing the colours she has always loved and once could make out. When Kerry was in Ireland and went forest bathing, she was encouraged to take her power back and she finds that works better through song lyrics than through cursing. It's a summer of Pride, a lifetime of advocacy, and demanding equality along the way with cross-community support so be one of the Wild Ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5vUBQBykJ4

Ryan Singer is one of the earliest employees and the former Head of Strategy at 37signals (the makers of Basecamp), where he spent nearly two decades refining a product development approach that helped the company build super-successful products with small teams. Based on these lessons, he wrote "Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters," and Ryan now works with companies of all sizes to them them escape the cycle of endless sprints, missed deadlines, and dragging projects.What you'll learn:1. Why traditional Agile and Scrum methods often lead teams into endless cycles of work without meaningful shipping milestones.2. The “appetite-driven” approach to product development where teams set fixed timeboxes (usually six weeks maximum) and vary the scope instead of expanding timelines.3. The exact process for running effective “shaping” sessions that collaboratively define projects before committing resources.4. Why most teams struggle with too little detail in their planning, not too much.5. Why a 30-to-50-person team size is the critical breaking point when growing startups need to adopt more structured processes.6. Practical techniques for bridging the engineering-design divide by bringing technical and product perspectives together earlier in the process.7. The powerful “breadboarding” and “fat marker sketching” techniques that help teams align on solutions without getting lost in high-fidelity details.8. The clear warning signs that your current development process is failing before it's too late to change course.9. Proven strategies to implement Shape Up methods, whether you're working in a startup or enterprise environment.10. A step-by-step approach to transitioning from Scrum to Shape Up by piloting the methodology with a single team before broader implementation.11. Why the PM role shifts upstream in Shape Up, focusing more on problem definition than project management.12.
