Bullshit conversations aren't a waste of time — they're a reset. In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about why joking around, small talk, and meaningless conversations actually play a critical role in mental health, stress relief, and human connection. Whether it's banter after a hard workout, laughing with coworkers, chatting with strangers, or messing around with your partner, these moments help us detach from pressure long enough to keep moving forward. I also break down the stark difference between blue collar and white collar work culture: Blue collar coworkers may be brutally honest to your face, but they're loyal, supportive, and willing to teach you how to succeed. White collar coworkers often communicate politely and professionally, yet hide blame, resentment, and competition behind fake smiles and corporate language. This episode blends humour, hard truths, and lived experience to explore authenticity, connection, and why honesty — even when it's uncomfortable — matters more than polished words. If you've ever questioned workplace culture, fake positivity, or the role of humour in surviving life's stress, this conversation will hit home. If you liked the show, help it grow!

K-Shaped Economy: AI Threatens White-Collar Employment — Chris Riegel — Riegel reports that Black Fridayretail activity generated high shopper traffic, though aggregate spending totals remain unclear pending complete data aggregation. Riegel warns of intensifying "K-shaped economy" dynamics wherein artificial intelligence systematically threatens white-collar professional employment and wage stability traditionally shielded from automation. Riegelhighlights China's deepening economic crisis, including manufacturing downturns, declining industrial utilization, and desperate but ineffective economic pivot toward Russian markets and domestic pharmaceutical production substitution. 1910 JACKSONVILLE
Peter Atwater, one of the leading voices on confidence-driven behavior in markets and society, joins Lance Roberts to share how certainty, control, and herd mentality shape every major trend investors face today. Lance and Peter discuss The Confidence Map, why people behave differently when they're in the "comfort zone" versus the "stress center," and how these shifts explain the rise of speculative investing, the bifurcated K-shaped economy, and the growing disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street. Atwater explores how consumer confidence is driving AI enthusiasm, why the workplace has split between white-collar and blue-collar realities since Covid, and what it will take to move the U.S. back to a non-K-shaped economy. We also dive into Maslow's hierarchy, the collapse of social trust, and what happens when possibility starts to feel like threat. For investors, Atwater lays out what assets are "ice cold or lukewarm," why scrutiny and confidence move in opposite directions, and what to own when today's hot spots finally cool off. We also examine ETFs, gamified trading, the tragedy of benchmarking, and how declining confidence reshapes moral behavior in the markets. 0:00 - INTRO 0:18 - Who is Peter Atwater? 1:10 - Understanding the Behavior of the Herd 2:32 - More Certainty & Control 3:48 - The Confidence Map - The Box Chart - Comfort Zone vs Stress Center 7:03 - Consumer Confidence Metrics & the AI Space 9:24 - The Bifurcated Economy & The K-Shape; White Collar vs Blue Collar Workers During Covid 12:12 - Getting back to a non-K Economy - Looking at the cumulative impact on the economy Maslow's Hierarchy of Need - we need to start at the bottom, make those at the top more aware of what's happening around them 16:48 - What policy should be implemented to accomplish this?

In this message, Pastor Eric Nelson exposes the danger of white-collar sin—the subtle, socially accepted, image-driven behaviors that quietly corrode the soul. Drawing from Jesus' warning about whitewashed tombs in Matthew 23, he reveals how outward polish can hide inner decay, and why only God can truly wash us white from the inside out. Discover the freedom that comes not from performing for approval, but from embracing the grace that heals, restores, and makes us whole.

Last month, Amazon announced it was slashing its white collar workforce by 10%, cutting 14,000 jobs.

AI is tearing through corporate America — and this time, it's coming for white-collar jobs. Tens of thousands of office workers are being laid off as automation and efficiency pressures reshape how companies operate. Amazon's latest restructuring shows that the era of middle management may be ending, while new data reveals why strong employee experience is the single biggest factor keeping talent from walking out the door. Meanwhile, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon doubles down on the return to office, arguing that mentorship and innovation depend on proximity. Yet, as companies slash management layers to cut costs, research from HR Dive warns productivity and culture are taking a hit. And in the background, a new hiring trend is emerging — one where skills matter more than age, giving older workers a second act in the modern workplace. Across these stories, a clear signal emerges: the future of work is being rebuilt in real time — flatter, faster, and more human than before.

Before social media, there were forums. Before viral TikToks, there were inside jokes on message boards. The Last Mixtape tells the story of White Collar Rhymes (WCR) — nine rappers from across the world who bonded online in the early 2000s, creating beats, rhymes, and community long before “internet rap” was a thing.20 years later, these strangers turned collaborators finally came together to record in person, balancing day jobs with a lifelong passion for hip-hop. Director David Birdsall takes us behind the scenes of this unforgettable story of creativity, friendship, and chasing the dream.
Police themed stuff is a popular genre! It's full of tropes and stylised aspects and generally very different from the reality, both from the actual police perspective and the perspective of those that deal with them, and I think I prefer it that way because the reality is usually pretty sad and ugly for all involved. So today we're talking about police theme things, set in the present, past, and future! One of the tropes we covered is the savant cop. It's a character that's based on Sherlock homes, they're not always officially police, in fact like him they're often private detectives or “consultants” is the popular thing these days. Sherlock Holmes was basically just a super genius but these days it's fashionable to make the expertise pathological, even stuff that's based directly ON Sherlock. They often NEED to be neurodivergent, from Monk, to High Potential, to Patience, The Finder, Bones etc, Though not always, like The Mentalist and White Collar. Then there's Law and order (and it's spin-offs). This highly venerable show made its mark by doing what most cop shows never do: showing what happens AFTER an investigation. You actually always got too see the trial. Other shows sometimes did that but for Law and Order it was solidly part of the format and that was pretty cool. It's not realistic because everything happens way too fast and orderly but it was good to see anyway. My fave manga/Anime cop themed stuff is Dominion Tank Police and Ghost in the Shell. They cover things from the police perspective and they're amazing. They envisage how police would work in a future world, one with tanks that can tackle even the most severe aspects of crime in an exaggerated and comical way, and one that has expertise hacking and taking a more black-ops, specialised military approach to their work. Patlabor is like Tank Police in that they use heavy vehicles but in their case it's mecha instead of tanks and the approach isn't comical. There are good sci-fi approaches in Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5, and even Galaxy Rangers. Stuff set in the past is fun too, we have the Sherif of Nottingham in Robinhood as a very bad fellow, there's The Name of The Rose and Cadfael with actual monks acting as investigative policemen during the time of the crusades, then Tombstone and a host of other cowboy shows and movies that cover all aspects of the law in the late 19th century American West. Rush was one of my faves, it was about a policeman in Australia during the gold Rush in the mid 19th century, that was a very unique view and a great theme song! Almost as good as the theme song for the original 1970s version of Van Der Valk, a British show about a Dutch police investigator in the Netherlands. I would say my faves are Miami Vice due to the style, The Mentalist due to the cleverness of the main character without resorting to supernatural or neurodivergent abilities as well as having a woman in charge of the team and the way they generally had a non-adversarial relationship with their captain, Dominion Tank Police, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, and The Bill- but only the early seasons of it before it turned into a ridiculous soap opera- It began as a very procedural cop show showing every aspect of policing from the most minor crimes to more serious stuff in a very realistic way without flashy fights and car chases or constant gristly murders, nothing else did that. So what are your faves? Do you like copshows? Would you prefer them to be more realistic? Do you like the fantasy/historical/Sci-Fi stuff or do you prefer them to be set in the present day? Another best-off from Gunwallace and this week it's - Grey Sky Blue Moon - I'm tempted to write a bad early 80s rap for this, but I won't torture people that way. This tune is remarkably 1980s in style: rap, dance style music, exactly like you'd get from a big budget movie from 1984 or ‘85. Think Beverly Hills Cop or Police Academy. It's perfect! It's a great match for the crazy light night hi-jinks that the girls of Grey Sky Blue Moon get up too! Originally Quackcast 462 4th January 2020 - the start of Covid!

For partnership inquiries, please reach out to info@newmoneynate.com Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer experimental. It is already reshaping the professional world and having a clear impact on how people get hired, how teams are structured, and how white collar careers begin. In sectors like finance, consulting, law, and tech, companies are moving quickly to cut costs and increase efficiency by rethinking how work is done and by whom. In 2025, the job market is under pressure. Roles that were once common early in a career are disappearing. Others are being restructured or absorbed into fewer, more demanding positions. The effects are especially visible in office based, knowledge driven careers where AI tools are replacing entire categories of tasks. This video explores how white collar jobs and work are changing in real time. From the disappearance of entry level positions to the slow rewiring of how people progress in their careers, the labor market is shifting beneath our feet. Research, writing, analysis, and reporting - which used to form the foundation of many white collar career paths - are now being handled by machines. The career ladder that once defined modern work is becoming less reliable, and companies are rethinking what kinds of roles they even need. You will hear about the types of jobs most at risk, the industries leading the shift, and the generational divide in who is being affected. For younger professionals and Gen Z, the entry points are narrowing. For more experienced employees, expectations are evolving quickly. Fewer people are doing more work, and the tools they are using are changing what it means to be good at your job and your career. If you are trying to make sense of where the economy is going, how automation is changing the job market, how white collar work is changing, or what the future of white collar careers might look like, this video offers a grounded, data driven look at what is really happening. With research from Stanford, MIT, OpenAI, and the International Monetary Fund among others, we break down how AI is impacting hiring, the job market, career advancement, and the structure of modern careers, and what that means for anyone trying to navigate it.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14 - The disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?" He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost." Memorial of Saint Jane Frances de Chantal, Religious Saint Jane, pray for us!
