Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss parliamentary petition e-7142, which seeks to mandate three-day work-from-home arrangements for federal public servants and all federally regulated industries. They argue that this represents excessive government intervention in employer-employee relations and could create significant market distortions. They also explore how such policies might exacerbate existing advantages enjoyed by public sector workers, potentially causing brain drain from the private sector and undermining Canada's productivity.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Video EditorElia Gross - Sound EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsAdrian Wyld/ The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

The need to hold everything together is exactly what's blocking your next level of wealth. You might think that control equals safety... but it actually just creates a "constriction" that keeps unexpected money flows at bay. Instead of squeezing so tightly, press play to release the grip of hypervigilance and become an energetic match for the abundance that WANTS to find you. Because when you trade the "hustle for certainty" for a deep trust in your own capability, your money doesn't just grow - it multiplies. Let's shift your energy from constriction to total flow to create the life you truly desire

Send us Fan MailThis week on Jaded HR, we dive into an HR nightmare that somehow checks every single box of what NOT to do.A pregnant employee. A doctor's note. A simple work-from-home request.And a company that said… “nah, come into the office.”What happened next? A $22 million lawsuit that has HR professionals, employment lawyers, and workplace experts all asking the same question: what were they thinking?We break down the now-viral case involving Total Quality Logistics and unpack the real-world implications around:Pregnancy accommodations in the workplaceRemote work policies vs. medical necessityHR compliance, FMLA, and legal riskHow rigid company culture can backfire (spectacularly)Along the way, we also get into:Why “HR is here to protect the company” isn't always the slam dunk people think it isThe dangers of blindly following policy without using actual human judgmentAnd yes… somehow TikTok HR advice catches a stray (as it should)If you're in Human Resources, leadership, or just enjoy a good corporate cautionary tale, this episode is equal parts insight, frustration, and “you've got to be kidding me.”Because sometimes protecting the company… means not handing someone a $22M reason to sue you.
Subscribe to LMSU's Patreon for the political commentary BoCo pod you didn't know you needed in your life! Politics junkies? Guilty as charged! Nothing was going to keep your intrepid hosts from grabbing the popcorn and settling in to watch the SA election this past weekend. Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to hear what we make of the Malinauskas empire and an orange wave. -- The world is still cray cray and your intrepid hosts are here to bear witness to what Fatih Birol has called a fuel crisis worse in its impact than the two 70s oil crises combined. CRIKEY was that a wake-up call for us Aussies who hadn't yet seen electricity or gas prices spike, but started using public transport and buying more EVs as fuel prices hit $3/L. Where to next you ask? Who knows what batshit crazy moves the orange man will make, but the more uncertainty over where its all going creates delay in supply chains readjusting to the new reality. And could we finally see the imposition of a gas export tax that actually collects revenue? WILD TIMES. Our main course While Dr Birol - longtime IEA maestro - was on Australian shores, he was spruiking their hot-off-the-press report ‘Sheltering from Oil Shocks: measures to reduce impacts on households and businesses' which promotes a menu of ten options to cut oil consumption through demand side measures. What's on the IEA wishlist? Public transport! Carpooling! Slowing down on highways! More efficient truck driving! Don't fly for work! Change to electric cooking! And some doozies that maybe won't go down well in some quarters (yep, the ol' WORK FROM HOME idea). This is a striking bit of comms from the IEA. Absolutely right to focus on the here and now, but the longer term actions like ramping up EVs, electrification and reducing reliance on fossil fuels altogether appeared in a modest epilogue. It had your intrepid hosts wondering if the US threat to the IEA to drop that crazy net zero stuff is having an impact. Time will most surely tell! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: a Fraunhofer Institute study of data from 1 million European cars, indicating PHEVs use 3x the fuel they are estimated to using regulatory tests. The reasons: drivers don't plug them in that much; and the cars tend to run their fossil engines during electric mode more often than regulators assumed. Frankie's One More Thing is: the formal establishment of Muskovic's Methane Musings with the exciting development that NSW EPA have just announced they WILL IN FACT regulate methane emissions from coal mining. Luke's One More Thing is: a shameless plug for the Energy Efficiency Council's annual conference, coming up in Sydney on May 27-28 at which some guy who apparently does another energy podcast, (Michael Liebreich?) will in fact appear in all three dimensions and corporeal form in Sydney at this conference. If you've heard of him, I guess you better go check it out. And that's it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head to letmesumup.net to support us on Patreon, procure merch, find back episodes, and leave us a voicemail!
This may be an unpopular opinion, but the "American Dream" was never designed for a modern Money Making Mom. Most ambitious women are exhausting themselves trying to jump through hoops that don't even exist to try to live up to some impossible standard. But it's never too late to rewrite the script. We're breaking down WHY we've been conditioned to pile provider roles on top of housewife expectations... and how shifting your internal lens can finally make your external reality feel as good as it looks. No more chasing the "highlight reel." Just reverse engineering a life that actually aligns with your highest self. PS. Let's define what 'having it all" looks and feels like for you

As global tensions and conflict in the Middle East threaten the flow of oil into Australia, the warning signs are flashing. While we aren't out of fuel yet, regional towns are already seeing shortages, prices at the bowser are climbing, and supply is at risk of running low. So, how much do we really have left, and why is our 'just-in-time' delivery system so vulnerable to international shocks? Today, we're joined by the NRMA's Peter Khoury to explain where our fuel actually comes from and how many days of reserves we have left. Plus, consumer behaviour expert Dr Paul Harrison joins us to discuss the psychology of panic buying and how this shortage will eventually hit your grocery bill and your commute.

Send a textWhat if the difference between a stalled dream and a thriving investing business was 92 door knocks and the courage to keep going? We open the playbook on real estate's real tradeoffs—time freedom, income control, and generational wealth—balanced against the very human hurdles of self-motivation, information overload, and patience for the first win.I walk you through the exact path from fired night-shift waitress to 2,000+ deals and even buying a small town. We start with the early days: living inside rehabs to cut costs, learning every tool at Home Depot, mapping foreclosures by hand, and using hard money to move fast. Then we break down the shift that changed everything—wholesaling—and how stacking predictable assignment fees can fund rehabs and rentals without the feast-or-famine cycle. You'll hear how a simple toolkit—Excel, a calendar, and a call list—beats fancy CRMs when the real job is talking to sellers, solving problems, and getting contracts signed.We also get honest about the cons. Staying self-driven when it rains or when your bank account looks comfy is a real test. Education can help or hurt—choose one mentor, one process, and go deep instead of chasing every new system. Busywork is a trap; measurable action is the cure. Setbacks at the closing table will happen; build buffers and backups so a busted deal doesn't break your stride. And yes, the first check might take months. That's not failure—that's the ramp. Once it clicks, you'll forecast income by deal count, not wishful thinking.If you want a roadmap to work for yourself, control your hours, and build assets your kids and grandkids can steward, this conversation is your starting line. Tap play, take notes, and then take action. If it helped, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share this with someone who needs a push to knock on door number 92.

They're different mediums! Let books be books and movies be movies. I want to see more movies that were written to be MOVIES and tailored to that medium, written to take advantage of all the cool things you can do onscreen. Same for books: I want more authors to take advantage of the cool things you can do in a book that you CAN'T do onscreen. I've read books that felt like they secretly wanted to be screenplays. Play to the strengths of your medium! No more crossing the streams! A Joke & A fact with Nova.
