What kinds of changes are you seeing from Gen Z and Millennial leaders? Workforce demographics are shifting these days, as more and more Baby Boomers retire, opening up higher-level management and leadership positions that Millennials and Gen Zers are rushing to fill. This wave of next-gen leaders is bringing a tide of change, ditching old ideas of professionalism and proving that bold and authentic is the new standard.Amanda Litman literally wrote the guidebook for this new and decidedly different generation of leaders. “When We're in Charge” explores why the old ways are fading out and the fresh approach to authenticity, professionalism, and clear communication is going to revolutionize the workplace. In fact, it's already started.Amanda is teaching a new generation of leaders to redefine leadership on their terms:How to be an authentic leader while supporting your career goals;The many ways the look, feel, and sound of leadership has changed;How what you wear to work impacts your leadership (spoiler: it's not what you think);What the older generation of leaders can take away from the incoming cohort.Related Links:When We're in Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to Leadership - https://www.amandalitman.com/when-were-in-chargeLearn more about Amanda's work - https://www.amandalitman.com/Connect with Amanda on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandalitman/Connect with Amanda on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/amandalitm/The Wall Street Journal, The Gen Xers Who Waited Their Turn to Be CEO Are Getting Passed Over - https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/gen-x-business-leadership-executives-d74ca6adAn Election Redesign To Restore Trust In Us Democracy - Tianna Epps-Johnson TedTalk - https://www.ted.com/talks/tiana_epps_johnson_an_election_redesign_to_restore_trust_in_us_democracyEpisode 466, How Gen X Navigates Career Change - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode466Episode 516, The Power Pause: Rebranding the Stay-at-Home Mom - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode516LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

The headlines on the Wall Street Journal have been marvelling at the lack of inflationary pressure as a result of tariffs. The latest CPI announcement had the annualized rate at 2.7% against the backdrop of a weakening labor market. This is converging on the Fed's 2% target for inflation. We are looking at inflation because the Fed's interest rate policy is linked to balancing both price stability and maximizing employment. If inflation is too high, they raise rates in order to suppress demand. If unemployment is too high they lower rates to stimulate investment. Of course we know it is not just the rates which affect the economy, it's access to credit which is infinitely more important. We know that tariffs have been making headlines for most of this year. Tariffs have been in effect on a wide range of goods for many countries since April 1. There have been several delays to the implementation of tariffs which were designed to incentivize new trade deals with the US. Some of these have concluded and others like Canada and China are still in process. Last Friday the Producer Price Index was published and it showed that prices increase 0.9% for the month of July. That's a huge jump in a month. Is this all the result of tariffs? No. The services component of the PPI rose 1.1% and the goods component rose 0.7%. Tariffs are not the whole story. When I consider that companies need to maintain profitability, there are several ways they can do this. For example, retailers might hold the line on prices for goods that have tariffs attached to them. But I think the cost pressure from tariffs and the incentive to bring manufacturing to the US will have two effects.Any new manufacturing in the US will take time to implement. In the meantime, companies will have to find other ways to cut costs. If and when they do eventually bring new manufacturing to the US, it will be very highly automated to minimize the impact of higher wages in the US. With the advent of AI, manufacturers will be looking for ways to eliminate other positions in the company and reduce headcount to improve operating margins. The drive to save costs will accelerate the adoption of AI in companies and speed up the elimination of jobs. Strangely, this will have the opposite effect that the White House is hoping for. So if inflation ticks up as a result of tariffs, can the Fed do anything about it? The answer is a resounding NO. Raising interest rates won't make the tariffs go away. Increasing costs for businesses won't cause demand to fall enough to suppress prices. So the Fed would be rendered completely impotent to bring price stability from an artificial imposition of tariffs causing prices to increase. You see these economic models assume normal economic behaviour. But if the model doesn't explain the real situation on the ground, then at a certain point you have to abandon the computer simulation and look out the window to see what's happening.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

The pursuit of wealth is considered an essential function of human nature, and greed is an unspoken civic virtue. Many of us revere billionaires and Wall Street rain-makers, then complain about “the system” being rigged, and wonder why the country doesn't seem to work for the little guy anymore. Some blame the Deep State for income inequality and corruption, and others blame capitalism, but the truth is that these issues have much deeper roots: our devotion to money is a manmade invention that has transformed over thousands of years to replace religion as the foundation of our society, and it is tearing civilization apart. In The Almightier, journalist Paul Vigna uncovers the forgotten history of money, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today's secular world, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. Through engaging anecdotes, original research, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has no power apart from the power we give it. Paul Vigna is an author, journalist, editor and speaker, with a particular focus on capital markets and cryptocurrencies. He is the author of Guts: The Anatomy of The Walking Dead and coauthor of The Age of Cryptocurrency and The Truth Machine. For 25 years, he was a reporter and editor for Dow Jones Newswires and the Wall Street Journal, pioneering coverage of the cryptocurrency sector. He has appeared on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox, and PBS.

Bill Gates has consistently framed his association with Jeffrey Epstein as a “huge mistake,” claiming he naively believed the convicted sex offender could help advance global health philanthropy—an aspiration that never materialized. In interviews with The Wall Street Journal, Gates described his behavior as “foolish,” emphasized that he had no personal or business relationship with Epstein, and cut off contact by 2014. He lamented granting Epstein credibility by being seen with him, calling it one of the worst judgment calls of his life.Yet critics remain unconvinced. The repeated denial of substance—despite documented visits to Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, including one with his wife—smacks of damage control, not candor. The aftermath of the revelation played a key role in his divorce, and even public figures like Elon Musk have ridiculed Gates's moral credibility, saying he wouldn't trust him to babysit his own children. Gates's repeated invocation of “mistake” now feels like a defensive script designed to deflect deeper scrutiny rather than a genuine reckoningto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New photo shows Bill Gates posing with Epstein accuser years after his 2008 conviction: report (nypost.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Gates has consistently framed his association with Jeffrey Epstein as a “huge mistake,” claiming he naively believed the convicted sex offender could help advance global health philanthropy—an aspiration that never materialized. In interviews with The Wall Street Journal, Gates described his behavior as “foolish,” emphasized that he had no personal or business relationship with Epstein, and cut off contact by 2014. He lamented granting Epstein credibility by being seen with him, calling it one of the worst judgment calls of his life.Yet critics remain unconvinced. The repeated denial of substance—despite documented visits to Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, including one with his wife—smacks of damage control, not candor. The aftermath of the revelation played a key role in his divorce, and even public figures like Elon Musk have ridiculed Gates's moral credibility, saying he wouldn't trust him to babysit his own children. Gates's repeated invocation of “mistake” now feels like a defensive script designed to deflect deeper scrutiny rather than a genuine reckoningto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New photo shows Bill Gates posing with Epstein accuser years after his 2008 conviction: report (nypost.com)
