    Recorded live at the NRF Big Show in the Narvar podcast studio, Michael LeBlanc sits down with Rachel J. Calhoun, Global Leader, Retail, Consumer Goods & Travel at Kyndryl, for a fast-paced and insight-rich conversation on the future of retail technology, AI integration, and enterprise transformation.Rachel shares Kyndryl's evolution since spinning off from IBM, moving beyond managed infrastructure into advisory, consulting, AI integration, and mission-critical systems modernization. With over 80,000 employees globally and deep roots in retail, airlines, and banking, Kyndryl is helping retailers close what Rachel calls the “adaptation gap” — the widening divide between consumer expectations and retailers' ability to integrate emerging technologies into legacy systems.A central theme of the episode is the shift from project-based IT transformation to an always-on, agile operating model. Rachel explains that retailers can no longer treat digital modernization as a three-year refresh cycle. Instead, AI, data integration, and real-time systems must evolve continuously to drive customer experience, dynamic pricing, retail media growth, inventory optimization, and supply chain resilience.The conversation dives deep into AI's real-world impact. While some economists question AI-driven productivity gains, Rachel points to measurable improvements: reduced stockouts, improved inventory visibility, faster commerce re-platforming, and agentic AI use cases moving from pilot to production. She emphasizes that the real unlock isn't just technology — it's organizational change management. Retailers must integrate people, process, and platform simultaneously to see ROI.Michael and Rachel also discuss RFID adoption, visual AI in grocery and loss prevention, 5G infrastructure constraints across store fleets, and the growing board-level urgency around AI investment prioritization. Rachel outlines Kyndryl's “show versus tell” consulting model, where forward-deployed engineers demonstrate live code modernization and AI activation in real time, shifting commercial models toward shared-value, outcome-based engagements.The episode concludes with Rachel's bold outlook on AI in retail. On a scale of 1–10, she ranks her optimism at a 9, citing firsthand evidence of agentic commerce, conversational commerce, and real-time system integration driving tangible business outcomes.For Canadian retailers navigating market disruption, store fleet transitions, and accelerating digital expectations, this episode offers both strategic clarity and operational guidance. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career.

    Nach der letzten Sendung mit Stefan Waldhauser kamen viele Aktienwünsche aus den Kommentaren – und bei einigen haben bei Tobias Kramer sofort die Alarmglocken geläutet: Vieles wirkt einfach überteuert? Gleichzeitig ist „teuer“ ein Begriff, der zwei Ebenen hat: Unternehmenswert (Marktkapitalisierung bzw. Enterprise Value) und Bewertung der Aktie (Multiples wie KGV). In dieser Folge wird deshalb nicht „gefühlt“, sondern systematisch gefiltert: Ausgehend von Unternehmen mit mehr als 200 Mrd. US-Dollar Marktkapitalisierung wird bewusst nach hohen Bewertungen gesucht – mit einem klaren Kriterium: KGV > 40 - auf zwei verschiedenen Zeitebenen. Ergebnis: zehn Aktien, die diese Hürden erfüllen – mit einer Tabelle, die die wichtigsten Kennzahlen auf einen Blick zusammenführt (u.a. Trendindikator über die 200-Tage-Linie, Debt/EBITDA, Price/Sales, erwartetes Umsatz- und Gewinnwachstum sowie eine 3-Jahres-Perspektive auf das KGV. Der wertvollste teure Aktie, Tesla, wird genutzt, um die Logik der Tabelle zu erklären – inklusive der Frage, wie stark bei manchen Unternehmen heute bereits Zukunftsversprechen im Kurs eingepreist sind (z.B. neue Märkte wie autonomes Fahren oder humanoide Roboter). Danach folgt der Überblick über alle zehn Werte, die so wohl noch nie zusammengestellt wurden. Mit dabei sind unter anderem auch ASML, Palantir, Intel, Lam Research, GE Vernova und GE Aerospace. Drei Unternehmen werden anschließend ausführlicher eingeordnet: - Hermès als Luxus-Ausnahme mit starker Marke und Preissetzungsmacht – bei gleichzeitig begrenzter „Luft“ für weitere Multiple-Expansion. - Costco als extrem beliebtes Mitgliedschaftsmodell mit hoher Kundentreue und der Spagat zwischen Qualität, Execution und Multiple. - Walmart als zwar größte Vertriebsmaschine der Welt, bei der sich aber und die Bewertungsfrage aufdrängt, denn wieso notiert ein Lebensmittelhändler mit einem derartig hohen KGV? Am Ende steht wie immer die Einladung: Welche Auswertungen wären als Nächstes spannend (z.B. andere Marktkapitalisierungs-Schwellen oder Filterkombinationen) – und welche Aktien sollen in künftigen Folgen genauer auf den Prüfstand? Aktienmarkt, Marktanalyse, Börsenüberblick: Die 10 teuersten Aktien der Welt per Filter (Marktkapitalisierung, KGV, Forward-KGV) – Bewertung, Risiko-Management, Sektortrends und Echtgeld-Depot-Einordnung.

    Greg Foran is back where I suspect he belongs, and likes. The former Air New Zealand boss, if you have missed it, is off to Kroger, which is America's second biggest grocer behind Walmart. I have never met a New Zealander who has worked in America that belongs in America more. It was evident from the first time I met him that he was American. You can spot them in their shirts and ties. They are conservative and yet impeccably pressed. He looked like he had starched himself getting out of bed each morning. The last time he was in here, his farewell interview, we talked off air about where now. He didn't say specifically, but I knew it was America. The bit he never explained, probably because he either couldn't for commercial reasons, or couldn't because he hadn't quite worked it out for himself, was what the hell he was ever doing back in New Zealand. I asked him any number of times in a sort of non-direct way, what on earth was it about a small airline at the bottom of the world that would drag you out of Walmart to come and run it? Possibly given he wasn't running Walmart, it was a job in which he was running something so his CV would show a Kroger in years to come that he was ready to be boss. At Walmart he lived in Arkansas and flew in private jets. In New Zealand he kept having to explain why the Wellington to Taupo plane never took off. The Covid thing must have been the nightmare from hell and it wasn't his fault. But even without it and the myriad of problems he faced, including the inexplicable cluster around engines that no airline anywhere seems to have encountered the way Air New Zealand has, you always got the impression he was either here for a short time, or it had all been a patriotic mistake driven by a laudable desire to return to home base and make some sort of contribution. But I can tell you this, of all the Air New Zealand CEO's I have known - business legend Ralph Norris, marketing genius Rob Fyfe, Prime Minister Chris Luxon and Greg Foran - no one looked less at home and more bewildered than Greg. Some people loved him because he was often at the airport checking their backs in, so work ethic was never the issue. The issue was Air New Zealand wasn't American. I bet you he has never been happier, or more relieved. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Will Nitze went from selling Linsanity T-shirts in his college dorm to building IQ Bar into a $125 million brain food empire—with just a team of ten people. No bloated headcount. No burning through VC cash. Just ruthless focus on unit economics and a contrarian approach to funding that let him scale aggressively while maintaining control. In this interview, the founder and CEO of IQ Bar breaks down how he turned a $73,000 Kickstarter into one of the fastest-growing CPG brands in America, why he believes bootstrapping is the worst thing you can do in food and beverage, and the exact moment—five years in—when he knew this could be a massive company. From cracking Costco and Whole Foods to reinventing the business over ten times, this episode is a masterclass in hyper-lean growth, retail strategy, and building a company like a knife fight. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why bootstrapping is the worst thing you can do in CPG • Will's contrarian fundraising strategy: raising less money, more often to maintain control • How he raised just under $10 million while still controlling the company • The exact moment, five years in, when he knew IQ Bar could be a big company • Why IQ Bar has reinvented its fundamental identity over ten times • How to navigate the cash conversion cycle while scaling physical products • Why retail is the "final boss" for CPG brands, even in the e-commerce era • The strategic shift from DTC to cracking Costco, Whole Foods, Walmart, and Target • Why consumers are less loyal every year and how more touchpoints solve that • How building a personal brand creates a network of category experts By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to scale a physical product business without burning cash, maintain control while raising capital strategically, and build the operational discipline required to survive in one of the toughest industries in the world. If you're building a CPG brand, navigating fundraising decisions, or trying to crack retail while staying lean, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about growth, control, and category-defining execution.

    In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we examine economies of scale, why growth strengthens some businesses while destroying value for others, and how cost structure ultimately determines whether scale becomes an advantage or a liability.Economies of scale are often treated as a vague benefit of getting bigger, but this episode breaks the concept down to its financial mechanics. We focus on fixed cost leverage, variable cost intensity, and operational leverage to explain why companies like Walmart, Amazon, and Costco become more efficient as they grow, while others struggle despite rapid revenue expansion.Using real-world examples, we show how scale changes unit economics, pricing power, margin resilience, and capital allocation decisions. We also explore the limits of scale and why growth alone does not guarantee profitability when variable costs dominate the business model.In this episode, we cover:What economies of scale actually mean in financial termsHow fixed costs and variable costs shape margin expansionWhy fixed cost leverage lowers unit costs as volume increasesHow purchasing power and logistics scale reinforce competitive advantageWhy Amazon accepted years of losses to build scale-driven efficiencyHow Costco uses scale to support a membership-based profit modelWhy Blue Apron's cost structure prevented profitable scalingThe role of operational leverage in amplifying upside and downside riskHow finance teams evaluate breakeven volumes and capacity utilizationWhy scale must reduce costs faster than complexity increases themThis episode also explains how finance leaders use these concepts in practice. Decisions around investing ahead of demand, expanding capacity, pricing aggressively, or slowing growth all depend on whether scale is improving unit economics or simply increasing exposure.This episode is designed for:Corporate finance professionalsFP&A and strategic finance teamsInvestors and analysts evaluating business modelsLeaders making capital allocation and growth decisions

    The Mind Architect, Peter Crone, is here for a life-changing conversation about how to unlock the subconscious beliefs holding you back and reclaim peace and presence in your life. Peter breaks down why we spiral in negative thoughts, why your brain is always bracing for a bad future that hasn't even happened yet, and how to stop endlessly “fixing” your problems and start dissolving them instead. He shares simple, grounding tools to calm anxiety, get out of worst-case-scenario mode, and be more present with the people and life right in front of you. The episode wraps with a real-time one-on-one session where Peter helps Vic uncover a subconscious belief or “lie” that's been quietly holding her back, giving you a front-row seat to the work that creates real, lasting change.

Guidance for 2026 was upbeat (~61% revenue growth). Shares rallied sharply initially (~7–11% post-earnings), but gave back some gains amid broader tech volatility (e.g., down ~11–22% in parts of the week from peaks). - AMD: Reported mid-week, beating EPS (~$1.53 vs. lower expectations) with solid data center growth (~39%). However, Q1 guidance disappointed relative to high expectations in the AI chip space. Shares sank dramatically — down ~15–17% the next day, with some reports noting up to 20%+ drops at points, contributing to broader chip sector pressure. - Alphabet (GOOGL/GOOG): Reported beating on revenue (~$113.8B) and EPS (~$2.82), with strong core performance. But capex guidance for 2026 ($175–$185B, roughly double prior levels) sparked AI spending worries. Shares dipped post-earnings (down ~0.5–5% initially, flat to lower the next day, with some volatility pulling it below key moving averages). - Amazon (AMZN): Reported after hours on February 5, with mixed results — EPS ~$1.95 (narrow miss vs. ~$1.97 expected), but solid overall. The big negative was a surprise $200B capex forecast for 2026 (well above expectations), tied to AI/cloud buildout. Shares plunged sharply — down ~7–10% in after-hours/extended trading, with Friday moves around -5–8% in some sessions. Recent Tech CAPEX announcements - Amazon (AMZN) — Guided to approximately $200 billion in capex for 2026 (a massive jump from ~$125–131 billion in 2025, with ~80% likely AI-related per analyst commentary). This was the largest single-company figure and a major surprise, contributing heavily to the week's "wild" reactions. - Alphabet (GOOGL/GOOG) — Guided to $175–185 billion in capex for 2026 (roughly double the $91 billion spent in 2025, far above analyst expectations of ~$115–119 billion). Emphasis was on AI compute capacity, servers, data centers, and networking to meet demand for Gemini and cloud services. - Meta Platforms (META) — Guidance from late January (but heavily discussed last week): $115–135 billion for 2026 (up significantly from ~$70–72 billion in 2025, potentially an ~87% increase). - Microsoft (MSFT) — No new full explicit 2026 guidance in early February (fiscal year runs July–June), but recent quarterly run-rate and analyst projections put it around $97–145 billion (with some sources citing ~$105 billion or higher based on Q2 spending trends and signals of continued growth from prior levels of ~$88 billion in FY2025). ------!!!!Combined 2026 capex projected at $635–665 billion (low/high ends) or up to $650–700 billion in some reports — a ~60–74% increase from their collective ~$381 billion in 2025. Market Reaction from all of this.... - Markets were a bit spooked on the Anthropic announcement earlier in the week - software sold off and set a sour mood - Microsoft dumped pretty hard as the amount of spend was higher than anticipated, especially with some slower growth in Azure. - Amazon took a beating on the increased spend they anticipate *(extra by $50B) - BUT: Friday markets rallied as there was realization that the $200B spend by Amazon would seep into the economy and fuel infrastructure spending along with chips, tech etc. Other Earnings of Interest -  Reddit reported fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday in which the social media company beat on the top and bottom lines. - The company said it expects first-quarter sales to come in the range of $595 million to $605 million, which is higher than Wall Street expectations of $577 million. - Reddit also announced a $1 billion share repurchase program. - Reddit gets about $250 million a year from OpenAi and Google to have your data for training their LLMs While we are on the subject - Friday, DJIA hit 50,000 - first time ever! - Up 1,200 point of which approx 350 was from caterpillar and 280 was from Goldman Sachs Hats off to WalMart - Walmart Inc. shares pushed its market capitalization past $1 trillion on Tuesday for the first time ever| - Big transformation over the pst year - Walmart has maintained its appeal to households looking for value, its online offerings are drawing new, wealthier shoppers seeking convenience. Google Bond Offering - Issuing several tranches of bonds, denominated in Stirling - one as long as 100 years - Would you buy that? - The Google parent is set to raise $20 billion from a US dollar bond offering on Monday — more than the $15 billion initially expected — and is also pitching investors on what would be its first ever offerings in Switzerland and the UK. - The latter would include a rare sale of 100-year bonds, the first time a tech company has tried such an offering since the dotcom frenzy of the late 1990s Fat Profits in Dietville - Really interesting sequence of events happening... - Hims launches compounded pill at prices as low as $49 per month - Analysts cite questions on efficacy, legality of pill - Hims' move shifts focus from Novo's strong Wegovy pill launch - Broader obesity market whipsawed as pricing pressure rises THEN.. - Hims and Hers Health shares dive 14% after hours on Friday (Down 25% on Monday) - FDA cites concerns over quality, safety, federal law - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday it would take action against telehealth provider Hims & Hers, for its $49 weight-loss pill, including restricting access to the drug's ingredients and referring the company to the Department of Justice for potential violations of federal law. AND.... - Eli Lilly last Wednesday posted fourth-quarter earnings and revenue and 2026 guidance that blew past estimates, as demand for its blockbuster weight loss drug Zepbound and diabetes treatment Mounjaro soars. - The pharmaceutical giant anticipates its 2026 revenue will come in between $80 billion and $83 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $77.62 billion, according to LSEG. - Meanwhile, NOVO had a really bad outlook that took the shares down 13% after the report. Japan Markets Soar - Japanese stocks jumped to a record high Monday, leading gains in the region after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi won a landmark election victory. - The ruling Liberal Democratic Party captured a two-thirds supermajority in the 465-seat lower house, public broadcaster NHK reported. - Japan's Nikkei 225 jumped past 57,000 for the first time before paring gains to close 3.9% higher at 56,363.94, while the Topix also notched a record high, closing at 3,783.94, up 2.3%. Employment Report? - Government shutdown is forcing them to postpone again (Which is dumb) - Number due this Wednesday - Maybe because of this:U.S. employers announced 108,435 layoffs for the month, up 118% from the same period a year ago and 205% from December 2025. The total marked the highest for any January since 2009. - At the same time, companies announced just 5,306 new hires, also the lowest January since 2009, which is when Challenger, Gray & Christmas began tracking such data. - Also, job openings fell sharply in December to 6.54 million, to their lowest since September 2020. - Available jobs are down by more than 900,000 just since October. - NO! Ai and advancements in tech have noting to do with this! NO NO NO M&A - Texas Instruments Inc. has reached an agreement to buy Silicon Laboratories Inc. for about $7.5 billion, deepening its exposure to several markets for chips. - Silicon Labs investors will receive $231 in cash for each share of the company's common stock and the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027. - The transaction still needs to win approval by investors in Silicon Labs and shares of Silicon Labs surged by 51% to $206.48 after the announcement. Inflation - This helps - PepsiCo (PEP.O), opens new tab will cut prices on core brands such as Lay's and Doritos by up to 15% following a consumer backlash against several previous price hikes, the snacks and beverage maker said on Tuesday after it topped fourth-quarter results. Miran - Moving - Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran is leaving his post as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, CNBC has confirmed. - He joined the CEA in January 2025, but had been on leave from that post since last September when he filled the unexpired term of former Fed Governor Adriana Kugler.- He reamins on Fed board No Biggie???? - There are some astonishing cased being reported of Bad AI in the operating room - JNJ's TruDi Navigation System - Since AI was added to the device, the FDA has received unconfirmed reports of at least 100 malfunctions and adverse events. - At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports. Most allegedly involved errors in which the TruDi Navigation System misinformed surgeons about the location of their instruments while they were using them inside patients' heads during operations. - Cerebrospinal fluid reportedly leaked from one patient's nose. In another reported case, a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient's skull. In two other cases, patients each allegedly suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured. Cuba - The main airport has putt out a bulletin that they are out of Jet Fuel - Blackouts and lack of other fuels are creating big problems - No airlines have stopped running at this point, but many will as they cannot refuel - This is a bigger problem for cargo planes (supplies) that may not be able to risk flying to Cuba as they will not be able to get out.

    While the world's athletes compete for Winter Olympic Gold, Walmart has secured a podium finish of its own – becoming the first retailer to skate past the $1 trillion market cap milestone. But is this value retail rally a high-speed slalom to success or a slippery slope? In this episode of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla unpack why US consumers might be ditching big brands for private labels and dollar stores. Closer to home in South Africa, they discuss why shrinking into prosperity can work for apparel, but not for grocery. Moe explores how Walmart has entrenched itself as a dominant US retailer through a relentless focus on fulfilment and logistics. With the chain in its infancy in South Africa (having just opened their third store), Walmart faces a fierce battle for the notoriously price-sensitive South African consumer's wallet.  While Shoprite builds a world-class omnichannel empire, powered by an army of Sixty60 scooters, Pick n Pay finds itself in dire straits. The market is valuing its core business at less than zero once you strip out its pure-play discounter, Boxer. Is there a chance for Woolworths and SPAR to claw back some market share here? Can Walmart make a dent? Today's Topics: How Walmart garnered ‘Big Tech'-esque success (and why Moe is so optimistic) Why Shoprite is no longer just a grocer, but a fulfilment engine that competitors struggle to replicate. Why Boxer was up 11% this past year while PnP continues to struggle, and what this says about grocery scale economics. Why SPAR's franchise model is struggling to compete with the centralised power of omnichannel retail. A look at why the US's Dollar Tree and Dollar General are flying high while high-street discretionary spend is hitting a wall.

DEAR WLS Question from Dependable Don Hey bob what's it going to take to get a couple Gideon optics in ace vr….. I know your listening make it happen and the fans will try to stop Aaron from doing a over the pants handy Question from Duke of Crude from Texas Duke of Crude: Why is 28 gauge becoming more popular than 16 gauge? I ve been dabbling into shotguns recently and have noticed a large amount of 28 gauge availability even at places like Walmart. Notes: Savage is now Jar Jar binks with his stupid ass avatars he uses on the show to match some of the stupid ass comments he says. Also this being written in January, will Aaron go through more jobs, relationships, or vehicles in 2026? Question from Anonymous Coward from Florida Hi. Could y'all explain the legal process of building an sbr at home? I asked a local shop about doing the paperwork through them just to make it simple and their $200 fee, while probably reasonable, kind of put a damper on my excitement for free tax stamps. I know I need to get fingerprints and pictures done and engrave my address on the gun. What are my best options for accomplishing those things myself? Question from Anonymous Coward from Nebraska Dear wls. I have a bolt action 6.5 creedmoor pistol if I SBR it and for whatever reason want to unsbr it what would I have to do? Question from Anonymous Coward from NC Question for the cast from RealDeal Episode 644 got me thinking about printing suppressors. What if a company sold you a mounting device, either direct thread or QD, that is made of a material that can handle the heat. Then that company will sell along with it a STL file that allows you a certain number of prints or unlimited prints of the actual baffles/can. It would thread onto the mount that is on your gun and you could print an unlimited number of replacement “cans”. Just a thought that popped in. Also the only serialized part would be the mount. So you can just throw away the printed portion and slap on a new one. Let me know your thoughts. #textwhiledriving #agency171 #wls Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from CT From Jaqin Ta'Sox: Question: Can you choose the order that the episodes are loaded into podcasts or is my app screwing with me?

    Send a textEver feel like love gets drowned out by noise—babies crying, stacked Saturdays, and decisions that never end? We've been there lately, so we opened the mics with our wives and the twins to talk about the messy, funny, very real art of choosing quality over quantity. From counting “date nights” that look like Walmart runs to sneaking in a car-ride debrief after a high school musical, we explored how tiny pockets of presence can do more for a relationship than a rare, elaborate plan.We compared notes on what actually recharges us—one of us wants the beach and sun every time, another wants a quiet solo shopping trip with a coffee, and someone else just needs to sit at home and watch YouTube without being rushed through every aisle. When schedules are packed with basketball, church events, and moving boxes, those differences can look like conflict, but they can also be the map to real rest. We worked through practical ways to meet in the middle: enlist grandparents, keep a running list of one-hour date ideas, and treat even a grocery run like a chance to listen, laugh, and reset.Planning travel brought its own debates—Boston baseball vs Orlando theme parks, long lines vs budget limits, and how to include the kids without losing our minds. We also swapped recommendations for what to watch and listen to when the couch is as far as you can go: The Rookie, Vampire Diaries rewatch, true crime docuseries, and worship collabs that remix the classics. Along the way there's playful trash talk, a Dr. Mario rivalry, and a dad joke finale that no one asked for but everyone will remember.If you're juggling newborns, chasing teens, or just navigating two calendars that never agree, this conversation is your permission slip to think smaller and love deeper.

    For 11 years, I didn't have a real menstrual cycle.I was on hormonal birth control from my teenage years into adulthood, and while it did exactly what it was supposed to do, it also meant I wasn't ovulating, wasn't having a normal menstrual cycle, and wasn't exactly aware of how deeply hormones shape my energy, creativity, mood, libido, and even my confidence.In this episode, I'm expanding on a recent newsletter I shared and walking you through what I learned when my natural cycle finally came back. I break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle, what's actually happening hormonally for me in each phase, and how those shifts show up for me physically, emotionally, and creatively in my work. I also share how tracking my cycle changed the way I plan my life and manage my energy, and also stopped me from spiraling every month when motivation or confidence dip.This is not an anti–birth control episode. The pill is an incredible tool for so many people, and everyone's bodies and needs are different. This is simply my personal experience of reconnecting with my cycle and the unexpected sense of trust, peace, and empowerment that came from finally understanding my body's rhythms.If you've ever felt like you're “bad at routines,” inconsistent, unmotivated out of nowhere, or confused by sudden shifts in how you feel, you're not broken. You're cyclical.

They came to be known as "The Family", a loosely connected network suspected of abduction, abuse, and murder. Five young men, some barely teenagers, were killed in ways so brutal and calculated that the city still remembers them in horror.

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with Dr. Ari Brown - board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 series - for The 411 on TODDLER DISCIPLINE. And just like last time, she comes in with the calm, practical answers we all need when our toddlers are… doing the most. We start with the big foundational question: what “discipline” actually means (spoiler: it's teaching NOT punishment) and when it realistically begins. Dr. Ari breaks down the cues that your toddler is ready to be “taught”, why pushback is developmentally normal, and how consistency matters way more than finding the “perfect” consequence. Then we get into the “IS IT NORMAL?!” greatest hits: biting, hitting, head-banging, and public tantrums - what's actually going on in their brains, what to do in the moment, and the #1 thing parents should avoid (even though it's everyone's instinct). We also talk self-regulation, why toddlers borrow our nervous systems, and the biggest mistake parents make when they start trying to “discipline” for the first time: expecting instant results. We also dig into the classic strategies people always debate - time-outs, spanking, and the “if you don't do X, we're taking away Y” approach - and Dr. Ari explains what works, what doesn't, and why consequences need to be logical to actually teach anything.  PLUS: how behavior can shift with a new sibling (who do you think wrote this question in?!??!), how to avoid the good cop/bad cop dynamic, and rapid-fire audience Qs on meal refusal, toddler resistance (“no” to everything), teaching safety without fear, and why kids go through parent-preference phases.
