Podcasts about Weakening

Jim Paulsen joins Jack Forehand and Matt Zeigler on the latest Jim Paulsen Show to explore why booming AI earnings may be masking a weakening U.S. economy, and what that means for stocks, bonds, and Federal Reserve policy. Using 27 charts, he examines stalled job creation, rising oil prices, growing reliance on debt to finance AI investment, and why he expects a sharper correction in technology than in the broader S&P 500.⁠Subscribe to the Jim Paulsen Show on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Jim Paulsen Show on Apple PodcastsTopics covered:Why strong S&P 500 earnings hide a widening divide between technology, energy, and the remaining seven sectors.Why low unemployment claims may offer false comfort when job creation has stalled.Jim's job market misery index and what it suggests about the case for Fed easing.How business investment and employment have broken their historical relationship.Why weak real disposable income, low savings, and higher oil prices threaten consumer spending.How fading economic momentum could push Treasury yields lower despite renewed inflation fears.Why a shrinking wall of worry could remove an important source of support for stocks.What growth stock leadership, household purchasing power, and ISM services data reveal about market risk.How debt-funded AI spending and widening credit spreads change the risks facing technology companies.Why extreme stock outperformance versus bonds could matter for portfolio allocation.The difference between rising profits per worker and sustainable economic productivity.Why Jim expects a tech bear market but a more moderate correction in the broader S&P 500.Timestamps:00:00 Why oil, rates, and tight policy worry Jim05:43 The three-way split hiding beneath strong earnings09:58 Why low jobless claims may be misleading16:18 When business investment stops creating jobs20:48 Can consumer spending outrun real income?26:01 How the wall of worry has supported stocks31:44 Investor complacency and a shift toward growth fears36:58 The disconnect between Main Street and Wall Street41:35 AI debt financing, credit spreads, and the case for bonds47:25 Investment per worker and the yield curve's earnings warning51:52 Profit productivity versus real economic productivity58:08 Why Jim expects a tech bear market and a broader correctionLearn more about the Excess Returns podcast network:https://excessreturns.coNo information discussed in this podcast should be construed as investment advice.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Robin Armstrong – America is in a crisis of culture. Who do people say that we are? What do people think we believe in? We are a great Nation, founded on principles of faith and freedom. When we all unify around these principles, our Nation will come together, and we can launch into our next 250 years...

Today we talk gold's false start and the housing market fall as we focus on growing risks and uncertainty in the markets. The Fed takes a more hawkish stance on inflation, signaling that interest rates could stay higher for longer while offering little guidance on future policy. We cover the impact of the recent U.S.-Canada tariffs, rising Treasury yields, the $40 trillion national debt, housing-market weakness, rising foreclosures, and the potential risks facing commercial real estate and regional banks. We also examine the current going ons of gold, silver, and Bitcoin as recent gains could be a false start. As always, emphasize caution, diversification, and maintain a long-term perspective rather than reacting to short-term market moves. We discuss...  The Fed's hawkish stance on inflation is raising expectations for higher interest rates and a longer period of restrictive monetary policy. The escalating U.S.-Canada tariff dispute is creating additional economic uncertainty and increasing concerns about inflation and slower growth. Treasury yields and government debt remain major concerns as the U.S. national debt surpasses $40 trillion and interest costs continue to climb. The housing market is showing signs of weakness, including elevated inventory, declining new-home sales, rising foreclosures, and worsening affordability. Higher mortgage rates and insurance costs are making it increasingly difficult for homeowners to access liquidity from their real estate holdings. Commercial real estate faces significant refinancing risks as more than $1 trillion in debt is scheduled to mature while borrowing costs remain elevated. Weakening employment data and downward revisions to job growth suggest the labor market may be slowing more than headline figures indicate. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin have performed strongly recently, but the hosts believe investors should remain cautious about chasing the rally. Historical data shows that midterm election years have frequently experienced significant market drawdowns after August. Market timing requires making two decisions, when to sell and when to buy back, and both are difficult to get right. Global markets have produced widely different returns, reinforcing the potential benefits of looking beyond the S&P 500 for diversification. Hot money has been rotating between Bitcoin, precious metals, industrials, energy, and semiconductors throughout the year rather than staying concentrated in one asset.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/golds-false-start-847

Aug 14, 2026 – Inflation data cooled enough to ease rate-hike fears. The consumer is showing real cracks in retail sales and sentiment. AI infrastructure spending keeps accelerating, led by Nvidia's $500 billion financing push. Market breadth is broadening beyond mega-cap tech...

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.Early focus in Asia is on the yen after the currency weakened 1% on Monday, erasing about half of its recent intervention-led rally. The move is psychologically significant for traders, who remain on alert for further official support. The yen was slightly stronger in early Tuesday trading at about 159.10 per dollar. We discuss with David Savage, Bloomberg News MLIV Strategist in Hong Kong.Plus - US investment giants including Apollo Global Management Inc., Blackstone Inc., BlackRock Inc. and Brookfield Asset Management are partnering with Nvidia Corp. to invest $500 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The news came on the same day as Intel announcing a new share sale, and Anthropic striking a $9.1 billion deal with Riot Platforms. We examine the state of the global AI buildout with Grace Tam, Deputy Asia CIO at BNP Paribas Wealth Management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are some earnings surprises as we focus on a pivotal week for the markets, highlighted by major earnings reports, the Federal Reserve's latest meeting, and growing signs of market divergence beneath the surface. Microsoft and Amazon delivered strong results driven by cloud and AI-related growth, while Apple and Meta faced significant selloffs. We also examine how the Nasdaq has broken below an important trading range, making the coming weeks critical for determining whether technology stocks can resume leadership or face a deeper correction. We talk the rising long-term interest rates, signs of stagflation, weakening economic growth, elevated inflation, shrinking consumer savings, and growing concerns about market concentration as a handful of mega-cap stocks continue to mask weakness across the broader market. Investors should focus on strong fundamentals and cash-generating businesses rather than chasing popular stocks with weak growth prospects. Today we discuss...  The market-moving impact of a busy week featuring Federal Reserve decisions, major earnings reports, and heightened market volatility. How Microsoft and Amazon posted strong earnings while Apple and Meta saw sharp post-earnings declines, highlighting increasing investor selectivity. Why AI enthusiasm alone is no longer enough and why companies are being rewarded based on execution and profitability. The collapse of a highly leveraged AI-focused hedge fund and what it reveals about leverage and institutional trading on Wall Street. How rising long-term Treasury yields and a more hawkish Federal Reserve are creating additional pressure on stocks and corporate borrowing. Growing signs of stagflation as economic growth slows while inflation remains stubbornly elevated. Weakening consumer finances, including falling savings rates and the impact of persistent inflation on household budgets. How a small number of mega-cap technology stocks continue to mask weakness across the broader stock market. Increasing risks in global markets, including currency volatility, Japan's interest rate outlook, and weakness in South Korea's market. The outlook for gold, Bitcoin, bonds, and other asset classes as investors navigate an increasingly uncertain environment. Why investors should remain patient, focus on strong cash-generating businesses, and avoid chasing expensive stocks without solid underlying growth.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/earnings-surprises-839 

Could insulin resistance be affecting your bone health? In this episode, I share an interview with Dr. Brian Mowll (better known as The Diabetes Coach™), founder and medical director of SweetLife® Diabetes Health Centers, to explore the hidden connection between insulin resistance, blood sugar, and bone health.  We discuss why many people may have insulin resistance for years before receiving a diabetes diagnosis and the importance of testing deeper than standard blood sugar markers.  We go over the tests that can provide more insight, including fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, and other markers that may reveal issues earlier. We also share practical strategies to improve insulin sensitivity, including improving body composition, supporting liver health, and intermittent fasting when appropriate.  This conversation is a powerful reminder that caring for your metabolism is also an important part of caring for your bones.   "You may not necessarily think about blood sugar when you think about bone health, but there are a lot of connections." ~ Dr. Brian Mowll   In this episode: - [01:41] - How insulin resistance affects osteoporosis risk - [10:01] - Why insulin resistance is often overlooked - [12:14] - Testing insulin resistance beyond blood sugar - [16:24] - HOMA-IR and metabolic health markers - [26:48] - Supporting liver health and reducing insulin resistance - [33:11] - The biggest health lever: improving body composition - [37:47] - Fasting, nutrient-dense foods, and metabolism - [43:10] - Resources and next steps for better metabolic health   Resources - More Natural Approaches to Osteoporosis & Bone Health Summit (free for 7 days) - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-bone-health-summit  - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless - Osteoporosis Exercises to Increase Strength and Reduce Fractures - https://tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises - Dr. Mowll's guide and website - https://drmowll.lpages.co/bone-guide/    More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Discover if the economy is weakening. Consumer confidence declined modestly in July as Americans expressed greater concern about business conditions, the labor market, and the cost of living. Despite weaker sentiment, consumer spending has remained resilient, suggesting feelings and economic behavior are not perfectly aligned. Key Takeaways Consumer confidence fell to 90.8, below expectations. Views of current business conditions and the labor market weakened. Grocery prices remain a major source of inflation concern. Consumers are still planning travel, dining out, and major purchases. Soft sentiment data doesn't always predict hard economic outcomes. AI-driven productivity gains could continue supporting lower inflation and stronger long-term growth. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?

Today we have a chart for you that will completely change your view of today's stock market. In today's market, investors should remain patient during the slow summer market season as stocks continue to trade in a sideways range despite ongoing geopolitical headlines and the start of earnings season. We explore how to interpret market charts, why investor expectations often differ from reality, and why stock price reactions to earnings matter more than the earnings themselves. We also talk about the growing concerns around AI-related spending, weakening breadth beneath the major indexes, software company valuations, and the risks facing large technology companies as earnings unfold. Increasing market volatility heading into the fall, combined with elevated valuations and economic uncertainty, makes this an ideal time to step back, avoid emotional investing, and focus on long-term discipline rather than short-term market noise. We discuss...  Why the stock market has traded sideways for much of the summer and why periods of consolidation are a normal part of investing. How geopolitical events and shifting headlines can create short-term market volatility without changing long-term trends. Why long-term index investors are often better off ignoring day-to-day market movements during quiet periods. The current earnings season and why stock price reactions often matter more than whether companies beat earnings estimates. How elevated investor expectations can cause strong earnings reports to be met with falling stock prices. The recent performance of major technology companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Alphabet, and Meta. How massive AI infrastructure spending is affecting cash flow, profitability, and investor sentiment across the technology sector. Why institutional investors are becoming more cautious about software companies as AI creates uncertainty around future valuations. How AI could disrupt traditional software business models and pricing power over the next several years. Weakening market breadth and why a small group of mega-cap stocks continues to drive most index performance. Why equal-weight indexes can provide a clearer picture of overall market health than traditional market-cap-weighted indexes. Seasonal market patterns and why volatility historically tends to increase during late summer and early fall. How upcoming Federal Reserve decisions, corporate earnings, tariffs, and midterm elections could contribute to additional market uncertainty. Why rising leverage, concentrated positioning, and institutional fear of missing out could amplify future market declines.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/todays-stock-market-837

On Tuesday, Columbia Riverkeeper joined a coalition of environmental groups that sued the Trump administration over a rule change that would undo protections under the Endangered Species Act for endangered and threatened species of animals like Columbia River salmon, steelhead and northern spotted owls. Other environmental groups and tribes have also filed separate lawsuits over the rule change, including the Swinomish and Squaxin Island Tribes in Washington state and Eugene-based Cascadia Wildlands.   The rule change, which is scheduled to take effect in September, removes the regulatory definition of “harm” under the ESA that for more than 50 years has been interpreted to include harm to endangered species’ habitats. That interpretation was affirmed by the Supreme Court in a 1995 decision. U.S. Department of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a press release the rule change “restores common sense, respects private property, provides much-needed certainty for landowners and follows the statute Congress actually passed.”   Miles Johnson, legal director of Columbia Riverkeeper, joins us for more details.

Edmund Fitton-Brown notes that Russia and China view a ceasefire as beneficial for weakening U.S. influence and entrenching Iranian power. Experts argue the Islamic Republic will never negotiate away its revolutionary pillars, including its militias and nuclear shield. The deal provides a rest period for Iran to rearm for future assaults. (16)

In the latest Electoral Road Show with Chris Steyn, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman describes how Gayton MacKenzie's Patriotic Alliance (PA) is continuing to march onwards and upwards “weakening” both the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African National Congress (ANC) in the Western Cape. In the latest by-election, the PA won 53% of the vote in Malmesbury Wesbank. “This used to be the safest DA municipality in the country. And in 2024, the Patriotic Alliance burst through that wall by winning the seat off the DA.” Sussman also comments on GOOD and Rise Mzansi joining forces behind mayoral hopeful Brett Herron; the ANC's elevation of Dada Morero to intervention convener for Gauteng's troubled municipalities; the late President Nelson Mandela's grandson Mandla eyeing a mayoral chain in the Eastern Cape; and Buffalo City Mayor Princess Faku coming under fire for taking officials on overseas trips to China and Germany while the municipality is struggling financially. “Next week we have two Buffalo City by-elections…It'll be interesting to see whether this issue, this debacle, hurts the ANC because both of the seats are ANC seats.”

In this week's episode of Medicine: The Truth, hosts Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl probe the facts beneath healthcare's biggest headlines. Today's show examines the accelerating progress of generative AI, the political turmoil inside America's leading health agencies and the infectious disease threats testing the nation's public health readiness. The conversation opens with a listener question about how close generative AI is to matching clinicians. Dr. Pearl explains that the technology is advancing faster than he predicted in ChatGPT, MD, with recent research showing an OpenAI model outperforming experienced physicians on emergency room triage and management in text-based clinical cases. He cautions that medicine is more complicated than written scenarios but argues that the trajectory is clear: before today's incoming medical students finish training, generative AI tools are likely to be used in emergency rooms across the country From there, the episode turns to the resignation of former FDA commissioner and Dr. Marty Makary, a two-time Fixing Healthcare guest. Pearl describes Makary as a respected clinician and patient-safety expert who found himself caught between scientific rigor, political pressure, industry opposition and public health critics. His departure, along with other leadership upheaval at FDA, CDC, NIH and HHS, raises a larger concern about whether America's once-trusted scientific agencies can regain their independence and credibility. Here are the other major storylines from episode 107: RFK Jr. removes preventive-care leaders. Pearl criticizes the firing of two respected co-chairs of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, warning that prevention policy may be pushed away from scientific evidence. The surgeon general nomination moving toward confirmation. Nicole Safier appears more confirmable than Dr. Casey Means because her vaccine views are closer to the scientific mainstream. A hantavirus outbreak raises public health concerns. A cruise ship outbreak involving the Andes virus appears to have spread person-to-person, causing at least 13 cases, several severe illnesses and three deaths. The U.S. remains vulnerable to fast-moving outbreaks. Pearl says the slow federal response to hantavirus shows how weakened public health capacity could become dangerous if a highly lethal virus were also easily transmissible. Tick bites are rising sharply. ER visits related to tick bites have climbed well above typical levels, driven in part by warmer temperatures and the spread of deer ticks into the Midwest and South. Ebola exposes the cost of global health cuts. A new Ebola strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo has no vaccine or effective treatment, and the outbreak was recognized only after spreading for weeks. USAID and WHO cuts increase risk to Americans. Pearl argues that reducing global public health support does not put “America first” because viruses ignore national borders. Patients should be more concerned when doctors avoid AI entirely. Pearl says he would worry more about clinicians who refuse to use reliable generative AI tools than those who consult them regularly. Opioid overdose deaths are falling but remain devastating. New CDC data show overdose deaths down for the third straight year, but annual fatalities still total roughly 70,000, with overdoses remaining the leading cause of death among adults ages 18 to 44. Vaccine safety data are being suppressed. Pearl closes by describing blocked FDA and CDC research showing COVID and shingles vaccines to be safe and effective, warning that political censorship undermines trust and harms patients. Tune in for more fact-based analysis and practical perspective on the healthcare policies, technologies and trends shaping medicine today. * * * Dr. Robert Pearl is the author of “ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine” about the impact of AI on the future of medicine.

1. Power of Trump’s Endorsement Donald Trump’s political endorsements strongly influence Republican primaries. Multiple examples are cited: Indiana: Lawmakers who opposed Trump-backed redistricting lost primaries. Louisiana: Senator Bill Cassidy lost after Trump opposed him (linked to impeachment vote). Kentucky: Rep. Thomas Massie lost after Trump backed a challenger. Texas: Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton is expected to significantly shape the race. 2. Party Loyalty and Political Consequences Trump favors candidates loyal to his agenda. Politicians who consistently oppose him are portrayed as: Weakening party goals Facing electoral backlash There is an implication that internal GOP dissent is being reduced through these outcomes. 3. Impact on Senate Dynamics Short-term consequence: Some Republicans who lose or retire may become less cooperative (“pissed”), complicating votes. Long-term outlook: Trump could gain greater control over the Senate with more aligned members. 4. Potential DOJ Indictment of Raúl Castro The DOJ may indict Cuban leader Raúl Castro. Possible implications: Could mirror actions against Nicolás Maduro. May increase pressure on the Cuban regime. Broader narrative: Suggests a possible geopolitical shift in Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. 5. Cuba Situation Cuba is: Facing severe economic crisis (fuel shortages, blackouts). U.S. pressure could lead to collapse of the communist regime. Vision: A free-market, democratic Cuba with strong U.S. ties. 6. Debate on Racial Gerrymandering A Senate Judiciary hearing: Republicans argue race-based districting is unconstitutional. Democrats are criticized for defending it. Key claims made: Democrats historically supported racist policies (poll taxes, Jim Crow). Gerrymandering is portrayed as more heavily used by Democrats. Counter-dynamic: Heated exchange shows deep partisan conflict on race and representation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this explosive "60 Minutes" interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulls no punches: The war with Iran achieved major victories, but the mission isn't complete. Highly enriched uranium remains, enrichment sites must be dismantled, and Iran's terrorist proxies like Hezbollah continue threatening Israel. President Trump and Israel are working in lockstep to secure real peace through strength — not the weak Obama-Biden-style appeasement that got us here. We also cover:  First batch of the UFO files have been released.  Is Hantavirus something to be concerned about?  Is the Ukraine war coming to an end? New gold-plated Trump statue.  Netanyahu makes it clear: Weakening or toppling the Iranian regime could collapse Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis for good. This is leadership that puts security first — exactly what Americans expect from strong conservative allies. Like if you stand with Israel and strong leadership!

Sometimes one sinful desire hits a man harder than another man, or harder than a different sinful desire does. This might be due to natural tendencies in him, frequent opportunities to be tempted, or simply because Satan has a grip on the man with which to manipulate him. When this happens, even though he still knows the truth, the sinful desire darkens his mind as with a mist, and his corrupt affections and passions are thus set free to wreak havoc.

Still feeling stuck despite doing all the right things? Discover how trauma and your gut keep you stuck in stress mode—and what your body needs to heal. With Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, learn how calming dysregulation creates lasting change.When your nervous system has been under chronic stress—whether from childhood experiences or ongoing life demands—it adapts to survive. That can leave you living in a constant state of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, even when life looks “fine” on the outside.This episode uncovers a powerful truth: it's not just stress. It's the deeper connection between trauma, hormones, and gut health that can keep you stuck in a cycle of dysregulation.Why can't my body settle down?When your nervous system has been under chronic stress—whether from childhood experiences or ongoing life demands—it adapts to survive.That can leave you living in a constant state of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, even when life looks “fine” on the outside.This isn't a mindset issue. It's a body-based response.And over time, that dysregulation doesn't just affect emotions—it impacts your gut, immune system, and hormones, too.Does trauma always have to be extreme?Many people think trauma has to be extreme to count. But in reality, it often shows up in quieter ways, like:Growing up in a tense or critical homeFeeling like you had to be perfect to stay safeNot having emotional support or validationThese experiences shape how your nervous system responds to stress. You may have become high-achieving, independent, or “put together”—but underneath, your system may still feel unsafe.Why do anxiety, brain fog, and overwhelm suddenly spike during perimenopause and menopause?For many women, everything seems manageable—until it suddenly isn't.Perimenopause and menopause can act as a tipping point because hormone shifts lower your stress tolerance. That's when you might notice:Increased anxiety or irritabilitySleep disruptionsBrain fog or low moodFeeling overwhelmed by things you used to handleIt's not random. It's your body signaling that it can't compensate anymore.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools.Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it.Download it now at www.drroseann.com/newsletterWhat is the gut–brain–hormone loop?Chronic stress raises cortisol, and over time, that can disrupt your gut in significant ways:Weakening the gut lining (often called “leaky gut”)Altering healthy bacteriaIncreasing inflammationFrom there, the gut sends distress signals back to the brain, affecting mood, focus, and emotional regulation.Add hormone fluctuations into the mix, and the system becomes even more reactive. This is why healing has to address the whole body—not just symptoms.How do patterns get passed down?One of the most important takeaways? Kids don't just inherit your genes—they absorb your nervous system patterns.If you're constantly overwhelmed, reactive, or anxious, your child's system learns that as the baseline. But the opposite is also true: when you create calm, you model regulation.

In this episode, we uncover: - The Shared Fantasy: How governments induce "love bombing" to control the masses. - Reputational Warfare: What is the "P-Button" and why is it the ultimate weapon of modern narcissists? - Woke Narcissism: Why "suicidal empathy" is often just a mask for self-serving grandiosity. - The Death of Manners: How the loss of politeness is leading to a total societal collapse. - Richard also shares the harrowing story of the moment his world changed—being glassed in a club—and how that "shock of evil" led him to study the darkest corners of human psychology.

These are some hidden patterns I've noticed, especially among those who are called to lead.After dozens of recent conversations, it became clear that many are pouring into others while neglecting critical areas in their own lives. And over time, that neglect has a cost.SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINEStaying rooted in the Word of God, in His presence, and in the authority you've been given. Without consistency, we don't just drift, we begin to forget what we carry and how to stand.MINDSET AND ENVIRONMENTHow you think, what you're learning, and who you're around are shaping your outcomes daily. If your mind is not being renewed and your environment is not sharpening you, your growth can become limited.PHYSICAL STEWARDSHIPTaking care of your body so you have the strength, clarity, and capacity to carry what you've been called to do. We must give ourselves permission to rest and take care of ourselves… especially the leaders who pour into others while neglecting themselves.This is about alignment across every area of your life. What you neglect can eventually affect how you lead, how you think, and how you show up.For those who are called to lead, I look forward to speaking with you one day inside a Clarity Conversation or talking with you in my live workshop sessions.The chapter mentioned in this episode was from my book “necessary.” Audiobook and videobook available at UnlockingGreatness.comMuch love,Z.  (Zenja Glass)Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja GlassVisit https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com

Repair is often where leadership breaks down, but it is also where trust is built. In this episode, Lauren walks through why rupture is inevitable in high stress environments and how avoiding it quietly erodes culture, connection, and accountability. Rather than weakening authority, thoughtful repair work signals emotional maturity, steadiness, and self awareness, qualities that strengthen leadership over time.Through a simple, practical framework of naming the moment, owning your part, and re anchoring the expectation, this conversation reframes repair as a critical leadership skill. When done well, it lowers defensiveness, restores clarity, and allows teams to re engage without losing standards or direction.Sign up for the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseLearn about the Staff Sustainability System a proven system to reduce burnout at the rootOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:How Regulated Leaders Make Better Decisions in High-Stress SystemsLeading Through Conflict Without EscalationA Fresh Look at the Five Ives Framework in the WorkplaceBoundaries as Leadership InfrastructureClarity as a Safety CueWhen Leaders Become the StressorEpisode 2: Authority Without FearEpisode 1: What Stress Does to Decision MakingThe Pause Between Now and NextLeading From a Regulated CoreWhen Culture DysregulatesGrowth & Feedback Without FearThe Regulated Organization: What it Means to be a Regulated OrganizationOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingUniversity of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives WebsiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Is the Trump administration intentionally allowing—or even encouraging—the dollar to weaken? If true, it would represent a high-risk, high-reward economic strategy. A weaker dollar can reduce the real value of U.S. debt over time, making it easier to pay down trillions in obligations. Inflation, while painful for consumers, also erodes debt in...

Dump your tech because this sector is booming and we are going to tell you what it is! Today we talk the sharp risk-off shift across markets as recent selloffs in crypto, precious metals, and especially technology reflect excessive greed being unwound rather than a systemic collapse. This is not a buy-the-dip environment, and you shouldn't be chasing volatility-heavy assets like crypto and metals too early. We also highlight a clear rotation of liquidity away from growth and speculative assets into value-oriented, defensive sectors such as healthcare, consumer staples, industrials, utilities, energy, and select international stocks, as these boring, low-beta areas are sometimes outperforming amid tech weakness, layoffs, earnings disappointments, and rising macro uncertainty, making capital preservationn and patience more important than chasing rebounds. We discuss...  Markets are undergoing a clear risk-off rotation, with speculative assets like tech, crypto, and precious metals selling off after periods of extreme greed and overcrowded positioning. Precious metals remain in a long-term bull market but may require one to two years of consolidation before sustainably moving higher. Crypto's sharp drawdowns and volatility are described as a feature, not a flaw, but current volatility suggests it is not yet an attractive risk-reward entry. Capital is rotating into value and defensive sectors such as healthcare, consumer staples, utilities, energy, and industrials. Value stocks are outperforming growth stocks, marking a notable regime shift from the past decade's market leadership. Defensive, cash-flow-generating businesses are highlighted as portfolio stabilizers during periods of market stress. Weakening labor market data and rising layoffs are adding to macro uncertainty and undermining the soft-landing narrative. Correlations across risk assets are rising, reducing the diversification benefits of traditionally speculative assets like crypto. Market indices such as the NASDAQ are less reflective of pure tech weakness due to non-tech constituents providing offsetting support. Liquidity is described as moving like water, flowing out of stressed sectors and into areas showing relative strength. The January seasonal "risk-on" effect failed to materialize, suggesting macro forces are overpowering historical patterns. Short-term technical indicators show elevated volatility but not yet a definitive structural breakdown. Investors are encouraged to focus on where money is flowing rather than what looks cheap after a selloff.

THE STUPIDITY OF SUCCESSORS: MANUEL AND ANDRONICUS Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Manuel Komnenos favored grand gestures over systemic stability, weakening the Roman state. His successor, Andronicus, was a nihilistic sadist whose tyranny and family infighting destabilized the empire. Watts details how the refusal to punish rebellious family members created a culture of impunity that eventually led to a violent overthrow. NUMBER 101572
