The “affordability” pivot is still being assembled, a year in. House Democrats spent three days at their 2026 issues retreat searching for a positive agenda and a modern “Six for '06” equivalent—meaning more than a year into Trump's term, the proactive message was still a work in progress. Younger voters are frustrated by exactly this. Reporting notes younger Democrats are dissatisfied with “cautious leadership and ineffective messaging,” suggesting the base itself senses the absence of a substantive agenda.

Interview with Mythili Pathiyil, MBBS
Our U.S. Hardlines, Broadlines and Food Retail Analyst Simeon Gutman explains how affordability and new shopping habits are changing how Americans choose and care for their pets.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Simeon Gutman: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Simeon Gutman, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Hardlines, Broadlines and Food Retail Analyst. Today: the state of the pet economy, or as we lovingly call it, the “petriarchy.” It's Monday, June 1st, at 10am in New York.Hey Sammy, who wants to go on a walk? If you have a pet, you probably know the routine. You go in for one bag of food. Then you remember the treats, the medicine, the grooming appointment. Maybe the toy they definitely do not need. And then the vet bill you hope is not around the corner. Pets are family. But family has gotten more expensive. That's the big shift in the U.S. pet economy. The emotional bond is still powerful. About two-thirds of dog and cat owners strongly agree their pet is an important member of the family. More than one-third say they would take on debt to pay for a pet's medical expenses. Today, the growth story in the pet industry has changed. After an extraordinary post-pandemic run, it has entered a slower, more mature phase. We see growth settling around 4 percent, down from nearly 9 percent annually from 2019 to 2025. That doesn't mean the market is shrinking. We still see total U.S. pet spending rising from about [$]200 billion in 2025 to more than [$]240 billion by 2030. But the easy growth days look behind us. The industry now has to work harder for each dollar. Affordability sits at the center of this story. A pet may start as an emotional decision, but it quickly becomes a line item in the household budget. Overall pet ownership remains above pre-COVID levels, at about 67 percent, but it has slipped from the 2024 high. That pressure shows up most clearly among younger consumers for whom cost has become the top barrier. And consumers are adapting. When pet food prices rise, shoppers stock up on sale items, compare prices online and in-store, and in some cases trade down. Still, pet food remains resilient. Almost all owners plan to keep spending the same or spend more on pet food over the next six months. The bigger change is that services continue to take share from products, with veterinary care at the center. Services accounted for just over 40 percent of pet industry spending in 2025, and we see that moving higher by 2030. Food and toys still matter, but healthcare, prescriptions, diagnostics and routine care are becoming a bigger part of the wallet. That brings us to vets – who remain the most trusted source of pet care information, cited by nearly 60 percent of owners. Younger pet owners still rely on vets, but they also turn more to online sources, friends, relatives and even store personnel. About three-quarters of owners visited a vet in the past six months, but average visits fell to under two, which is down from just over two in 2024. This points to a more cautious consumer, especially around routine care. We also see a subtle shift in the kinds of pets people choose. Cat ownership has moved higher versus pre-COVID levels, while dog ownership among younger adults has pulled back from its 2024 peak. That shift is not surprising, given that cats typically come with lower overall spending than dogs. Shopping habits are changing as well. Online pet product shopping has grown a lot since 2019, but its share of wallet has leveled off at roughly one-third. The next leg of digital growth may come less from simply moving store purchases online and more from subscriptions, pharmacy, healthcare and broader pet care ecosystems. So where does that leave the pet economy? Pet owners are certainly not walking away from their animals. But they are making more practical choices, watching prices more closely, and deciding where convenience, health and value fit into the same budget. Thanks for listening.

You can't complain when a farm goes up for sale if you're not supporting the farmer. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael is back on the Zooms with her Frederick County Homesteader friends — Sam Armel (founder of Frederick County Homesteaders), Jaclyn Mommen (Laurel Grove Wine Farm and Patti's Place), and Kristin Tesdall (Five Roots Farm) — to talk about the inaugural Love Your Farmer Week, June 14th through 20th, and why this hands-on volunteer week is built around the busiest, most stressful stretch of a farmer's year. The conversation moves from the practical (how to sign up as a volunteer or a host farm, what kinds of jobs are on the docket, why mobility and age aren't barriers) into bigger territory: the late-frost destruction of vineyards and orchards, the misconceptions about crop insurance, the largest farmland transfer in American history happening right now, why the average farmer is 58–64 years old, and how regenerative agriculture is really just remembering what our grandparents already knew. IN THIS EPISODE (00:00) Why Love Your Farmer Week is hands-on, not a farm tour (01:00) The dates, the time slots, and the Google forms — built for everyone from kids to elders (02:00) Why now?

Designed to accommodate civic groups, businesses, 4-H and FFA chapters, church groups, homeschool co-ops, families, and individuals — with time slots and tasks suited to all ages and mobility levels. Five farms are signed up for year one; first-come, first-served as volunteers register. HOW TO GET INVOLVED • Volunteer — sign up via the Love Your Farmer Week page at frederickcountyhomesteaders.com (search "Love Your Farmer Week") • Host farm — local farms, homesteads, markets, and vineyards can still sign up through June 5 • Need help figuring out what your farm could offer?

During the recently held ARDA Spring Conference, I met Scott Weisz, EVP Strategic Business Operations at Marriott Vacations Worldwide, and we got into loyalty—because it doesn't work the same way in vacation ownership as it does in hotels. We talk about what actually keeps owners coming back: the booking journey, real service on-property, and experiences that match how younger travelers want to travel now.
Age bias affects people across the entire career span. For women, this bias is compounded by gender, creating what researchers call “gendered ageism,” a double bind where there is effectively no “right” age to be a professional woman. Drawing on survey data from 913 women leaders across industries including law, healthcare, higher education, and nonprofits, Harvard Business Review research reveals a consistent pattern: women face age-based bias at every stage of their careers. Definitions of “young,” “middle-aged,” and “older” vary by context, but the experiences of discrimination are strikingly similar. Older women often encounter “oldism,” where they are viewed as less relevant or valuable, in contrast to men who are seen as gaining wisdom with age. Participants reported being overlooked for advancement and having their voices dismissed. Younger women face “youngism,” including being patronized, mistaken for junior staff, or not taken seriously in leadership roles. Many experience “credibility deficits,” where their expertise is questioned, forcing them to continually prove themselves. Appearance-based scrutiny is also common, with professional accomplishments overshadowed by comments on looks. Women in midlife—traditionally thought to be in a career “sweet spot”—fare no better. They are often judged based on assumptions about family responsibilities, menopause, or perceived lack of vitality. Hiring and promotion decisions frequently favor similarly aged men, reinforcing the idea that women are either “too young” or “too old,” but rarely seen as just right. Despite these challenges, research shows that age and gender diversity benefit organizations. Diverse teams perform better, especially in complex or crisis situations, while age discrimination reduces job satisfaction and engagement. The path forward does not rely solely on institutional change but also on individual action. Key strategies include examining personal assumptions about age, building intentional intergenerational relationships, advocating for age inclusion in diversity frameworks and actively supporting other women through mentorship, sponsorship, and amplification. Ultimately, the research highlights a systemic issue: age is often used as a convenient justification to undervalue women at any stage. Recognizing and challenging these patterns is essential to creating workplaces where women are seen as credible, capable, and worthy—at every age.

The Golden age, silver-screen legend who lived to tell a tale that could have only unfolded in Hollywood , Mamie Van Doren joins Media Path for a candid conversation about a life shaped by resilience, reinvention, and remarkable twists of fate!The woman who helped define an extraordinary era of entertainment and cultural change has chronicled both her escapades and her conquered adversities in a page-turning new memoir called 'You Thought I Was Dead: My Life of Celebrities, Sex and Champagne.'Mamie traces her grit back to a hard scrabble, Depression era, South Dakota childhood where poverty and hunger were a daily reality. Determined to escape that world, she set her sights on Hollywood, with a little help from lore, intentionally placing herself at a pharmacy soda counter in the in hopes of being “discovered,” just as Lana Turner had been. She was stunning and it worked. She was also 14!What followed was a series of cinematic turning points. Including a TV role, broadcast from The famed Florentine Gardens and a close friendship with cocktail server Elizabeth Short, who horrifically became known as The Black Dahlia. Her brutal loss has affected Mamie profoundly and permanently.Mamie recounts her rapid rise through the studio system after being spotted by a Universal executive, leading to a seven-year contract and her breakout role opposite Tony Curtis (and some handsome USC football stars) in 'All American'. She shares the origin of her now-iconic name, coined by an AP reporter and inspired by First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower. Its coining helped a farm girl named Joanie Olander fully embody her new Hollywood persona.After marrying bandleader Ray Anthony and starting a family, Universal dropped her contract, only to see her quickly courted by other studios. She reflects on love, longevity, and her current 50+ year marriage to Thomas Dixon, as well as the complicated realities of navigating Hollywood at a time when powerful men often operated without accountability. In a deeply personal revelation, Mamie speaks about a terrifyingly dark encounter with Jack Webb that she kept silent for years. He was selling “law and order” when he drugged, tied up and violated Mamie. She reflects now about how much (and how little) has changed.Stories where Hollywood and history intersect are a common thread in Mamie's adventures, such as a romantic interlude with Che Guevara while filming in Buenos Aires, and a dangerous, self-funded three-month tour to the furthest outposts of the Vietnam War to entertain troops. The gravest danger she faced was an on-stage attack at an officers' club in Saigon. But her time with the troops remains an experience that shaped her perspective on freedom and sacrifice.And IMDB Roulette this week is raucous, racy and romantic, with a trip to the cutting edge of rock 'n roll!

Consumers have grown increasingly worried about inflation, and many are delaying major purchases, according to J.D. Power. That's especially true for people under 40. In a survey, J.D. Power found that only about a third in that age group believe they can cover everyday expenses. We'll dig in. But first, Spotify has long invested in podcasts and audiobooks. Now, it wants you to listen to magazine articles on the platform, too.

Justine Cross is a professional dominatrix, dungeon owner, educator, and sex worker advocate who grew up in the tri-state area where she actually received surprisingly comprehensive sex education growing up between private and public schools, something she credits with shaping how she thinks about sex, consent, and power dynamics today. In this episode we talk about how someone becomes a professional dominatrix, what actually happens inside a BDSM dungeon, and why kink spaces are often far more structured, communicative, and consent-focused than most people expect. We also get into power dynamics, submission, community, play parties, and the difference between what people imagine BDSM is and what it actually looks like in real life.

In Shakespeare's plays, he uses the word "gauntlet" a total of 6 times. In one instance, the stage directions declare that a character "throws down his gauntlet." In Hamlet, stage directions again refer to a gauntlet by saying that attendants bring "foils and gauntlets" into the scene of Act V. But do you know what you should be seeing on stage in these moments? Do you know what object Shakespeare expected the characters to be carrying for these scenes? Gauntlet sounds like a military exercise or maybe a very difficult journey through several tough obstacles, and there's a variation of this word which means exactly that—but that kind of gauntlet is for another episode. Today, we're looking at the kind of gauntlet that was actually an article of clothing—a glove, to be precise. A highly decorated ornate glove that came all the way up to the wrist of the wearer and was designed to protect the hand against wounds. To find out more about what these gloves were made from, who made them, and exactly why a character would throw one down on the ground in Shakespeare's Henry VI, we are talking with Hannah Marples, clothing historian and author of the project "Experimental Archeology: testing the wearability of a pair of gloves worn by Henry Cary in a painting by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, 1603" Hannah joins us today to help us explore the history of gauntlet gloves, and how they connect with Shakespeare and his plays.
He was born in Antioch in 522. His father, John, died in an earthquake, leaving him to be raised by his mother Martha. From his earliest childhood he lived a very ascetic life and was under special protection and guidance of St John the Baptist, who often appeared to him. He became a monk as a young man and, after a vision of the Lord, who appeared to him as a handsome youth and filled his heart to overflowing with love for Christ, he ascended onto a pillar, where he stayed for eighteen years, praying and singing psalms. He then went to the mountain called 'Wonderful', where he lived alone in a barren place for ten years; he then ascended another pillar, where he remained in extreme hardship for forty-five years. During this time he became known as a wonder-worker and visionary: the Prologue says 'The measure of his love for God was such that rare grace was given him, by the help of which he was able to heal every sort of illness, tame wild beasts and perceive the most distant regions of the earth and the hearts of men. He was taken out of the body and saw the heavens, conversed with angels, harried the demons, prophesied, spent thirty days at a time without sleep and even longer without food, receiving nourishment at the hands of angels.' He reposed at the age of 85; seventy-nine years of his life had been spent in asceticism.
From 1 Timothy 5:1-8 and Paul's instruction concerning widows, we learn that the latter half of life, both empty nesting and old age, is not merely a domestic or physical adjustment but a profound new chapter of discipleship marked by emptying. While the world treats this season as loss to be resisted, Scripture frames it as kenosis, the very pattern Jesus modeled in Philippians 2 of receiving, humbling, and being glorified. Older saints are called to receive the emptying rather than reject it, humbly placing their hope in God rather than themselves, and resisting the twin temptations of self-indulgence and bitterness that leave a soul "dead even while she lives." Instead, this season is meant to be one of filling, with grace, gratitude, and worship, leading to a godly pouring out through intercession, testimony, and spiritual mothering and fathering of the next generation. Younger saints, in turn, are charged not to assault or overlook older members but to walk alongside them with purity and compassion, as fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters. The passage finds its fullest picture on the Road to Emmaus, where the risen Jesus draws near to two emptied, disappointed disciples, walks at their pace, opens the Scriptures to reveal that emptying is the road to glory, fills their hearts at the breaking of bread, and sends them running back to pour out their testimony: the picture of every saint's second-half journey with Christ.
THE TOM DUPREE SHOW | PODCAST SHOW NOTES All-Time Highs and America’s Second Industrial Revolution The Tom Dupree Show | Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400 Episode Description Markets are hitting all-time highs in the spring of 2026, and Tom Dupree sits down with analysts Michael Dawahare and James Dupree to examine what is actually fueling the rally. The conversation goes well beyond the headlines — covering real earnings growth at AI infrastructure companies, a sweeping national push to bring critical industries back to American soil, and what the arrival of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve chairman could mean for bond markets and retirement investors. The team also takes a careful look at how to tell the difference between companies with genuine contracted revenue and those priced years into a speculative future. And in a segment that hits close to home for many Kentucky listeners, the hosts examine the structural forces reshaping the bourbon and spirits industry — from shifting generational attitudes toward alcohol to the surprising effect that GLP-1 medications are having on consumer behavior. “Markets don’t drift up — they only rise on conviction. Right now, that conviction is being written in the earnings reports and long-term contracts of the companies building America’s next industrial base.” Topics Covered Why markets are at all-time highs — and whether the earnings justify the rally AI infrastructure spending: hyperscalers committing close to one trillion dollars in 2026 Reshoring as national security strategy: six to eight industries America should stop outsourcing Separating real AI businesses from speculative plays priced years into the future Kevin Warsh as new Fed chairman: a smaller balance sheet and better price discovery in bond markets Historical midterm election pullbacks and what they may signal for the current market cycle Commodities as the most compelling derivative trade of the global reshoring movement GLP-1 drugs and generational attitudes reshaping the bourbon and spirits industry The dot-com bubble parallel: which AI companies have staying power, and which don’t How the COVID pandemic became the pivotal catalyst that accelerated reshoring across industries Key Takeaways Earnings are driving the highs, not speculation alone. Some AI infrastructure companies are reporting 500%+ year-over-year revenue growth backed by signed, long-term contracts. That is a meaningfully different foundation than the dot-com era provided. Know the difference between a business and a bet. Within the AI space, some companies hold 15-year leases and tens of billions in guaranteed revenue. Others are priced five years into an uncertain future with minimal earnings today. Understanding which type you own matters. Reshoring is a generational investment thesis. A coordinated government-and-industry effort to bring back pharmaceutical production, chip manufacturing, steel, aluminum, and energy creates real downstream opportunities in commodities, infrastructure, and labor. A smaller Fed could be good for markets. Kevin Warsh has signaled a desire to reduce the Fed’s balance sheet, which could restore honest price discovery in the bond market — a shift that ripples positively through stocks and other dollar-denominated assets. All-time highs historically lead to higher highs. New market highs on volume reflect the collective judgment of all participants. Pullbacks of 10 to 15 percent are healthy and expected, but they do not change the long-term direction for investors holding quality positions. The spirits industry faces headwinds that may not be temporary. Younger generations are beginning to treat alcohol the way prior generations came to view cigarettes. GLP-1 drug adoption is compounding that shift, with real implications for Kentucky’s economy. Commodities deserve a closer look. As countries reshore and protect the raw materials they need, global supply is tightening. Energy, metals, and materials could benefit from a sustained multi-year tailwind that many retirement portfolios are not currently positioned to capture.

Following the death of the Elder in 367 BCE, Dion invited Plato back to tutor the immature Dionysius the Younger. James Romm explains that Dion hoped Plato could transform the new ruler into an enlightened, constitutional monarch rather than a tyrant. Despite Plato's efforts to reform the court's lifestyle, the regime remained characterized by 90-day drinking parties and excessive wealth. The relationship soured when Dionysius intercepted a letter Dion sent to Carthaginian diplomats, viewing it as betrayal. Consequently, Dion was banished, and Plato was held under house arrest until being rescued by the philosopher-leader Archytas. (3/8)1245 THE ACADEMY
As Syracuse collapsed into disorder, the mother city of Corinth sent Timoleon with a small hired army to intervene. James Romm notes that to the surprise of many, Dionysius the Younger abdicated voluntarily in exchange for a peaceful retirement in Corinth. He lived his remaining years in impoverishment, reportedly working as a music teacher and priest. His downfall became the source of the proverb "Dionysius is in Corinth," signifying that even the most powerful ruler can be brought low. Dionysius claimed his ability to endure exile proved he had actually learned from Plato's teachings. (6/8)SYRACUSE

What happens when a doctor starts questioning the very system he was trained in? In this eye-opening and deeply important conversation, Darin Olien sits down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon to unpack the exploding GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon, the collapse of foundational health principles, and the dangerous trend of masking chronic disease instead of addressing root causes. Together, they dive into protein myths, obesity culture, pharmaceutical incentives, body positivity, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and the growing "Wild West" of weight-loss injections like semaglutide and Mounjaro. But this conversation goes much deeper than weight loss. Dr. Reardon reveals his revolutionary focus on "deprescribing" medications—helping patients safely come off statins, blood pressure medications, psychiatric drugs, and GLP-1 injections by restoring the body's innate healing systems. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal sovereignty, metabolic health, medical integrity, and why the human body may be far more intelligent than modern medicine gives it credit for. What You'll Learn Why the current protein obsession may be misunderstood How the body recycles amino acids and adapts to exercise The hidden problems with ultra-high protein consumption Why GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and Mounjaro are raising serious concerns The cultural shift from body positivity to weight-loss injections The pharmaceutical industry's incentives around obesity medications Why most people using GLP-1 drugs are not changing their lifestyle habits The side effects associated with semaglutide and related drugs How chronic disease is often treated symptomatically instead of at the root cause Why Dr. Reardon focuses on "deprescribing" medications The importance of metabolic health and foundational lifestyle medicine How modern medicine often ignores why symptoms are

body is not broken: it is adaptive, intelligent, and constantly responding to the environment it's placed in. Modern medicine often suppresses symptoms without asking why they exist in the first place. Real healing begins when we stop chasing shortcuts, start addressing root causes, and create the conditions for the body to do what it was designed to do all along: heal, regulate, and thrive."
The Generosity Crisis — with Mike Parejko & Benjamin PrijatelMost People Don't… But YOU Do! | Episode #228 recorded live at the Blood Centers of America Annual Conference, Universal City | Released: May 2026What happens when 97% of the country opts out of an act that takes 40 minutes and saves three lives? Two blood center CEOs name the real shortage — and it isn't blood. It's generosity.Recorded live at the Blood Centers of America annual conference in Universal City, Bart sits down with Mike Parejko (CEO, ImpactLife) and Benjamin Prijatel (CEO, Shepeard Community Blood Center, Augusta, GA) to unpack what most people don't know about the blood supply that quietly props up American healthcare. Only 3% of the population donates blood — and just 1% of that 3% provides the type-specific products needed for pre-hospital trauma transfusions. May, Mike notes, is the kickoff of “trauma season.”Beyond the numbers, the conversation lands on something larger: what Mike calls “the generosity crisis.” More money is coming from fewer people. Devices distract us from the people in front of us. Younger donors are disappearing. But the path back is simple, and the guests offer the language and stories to walk it — Benjamin's “force the choice,” Mike's “you don't have to, you get to,” and the story of an executive assistant who is alive today because strangers showed up. This episode turns a topic most people avoid into one they want to talk about at the dinner table.Most people don't think about blood until they need it.Most people don't write five handwritten thank-you notes a week to strangers.Most people don't reframe obligation as privilege.Mike and Benjamin do — and that's why the system holds.The generosity crisis is real. Only 3% of Americans donate blood, and the post-pandemic reset has shrunk that pool further. “More money from fewer people” is the trend across nonprofits — blood is no exception.Trauma season starts in May. Warmer weather brings more accidents, more pre-hospital transfusions, and more demand for type-specific products that only 1% of donors can provide.“Force the choice.” Benjamin spent eight years asking others to donate before he was eligible himself. The day the rules changed, he removed “choice” from the equation. Most action problems are really permission problems.“You don't have to — you get to.” Mike's reframe to his college-aged kids becomes a tool any leader can borrow tonight: same task, same effort, completely different identity.The path matters more than the pitch. Donatingblood.org. 40 minutes. No appointment. Walk in, walk out. People don't refuse because they're selfish — they refuse because no one ever asked, and no one ever showed them the path.“There's a little bit of what I would call a generosity crisis that we're facing.”— Mike Parejko | [00:08:00]“It wasn't a choice. I had to do it. If people who are listening didn't think it was a choice, they could do it, too.”— Benjamin Prijatel | [00:39:00]“You don't have to do that — you get to do that.

In this episode, Ted Oakley, founder and managing partner of Oxbow Advisors with 49 years in the business, returns to discuss the stark disconnect between Wall Street momentum and the collapsing consumer, revealing credit card and auto loan delinquencies are now at Great Financial Crisis levels while the economy has shifted from K-shaped to "i-shaped" with only a tiny dot at the top. He explains his letter "The Gambler" addresses how younger investors have abandoned real investing for a betting culture of sports gambling, one-day options, and Bitcoin, while most advisors no longer know when to "hold 'em or fold 'em." Ted maintains 50% cash in short-term treasuries, predicts inflation will hit 4.25% in May rising to 4.75% by fall with financial repression as the only way out of the debt trap, and reveals energy is his largest position up 35% year-to-date despite being only 3% of the S&P (it was 33% in 1980). He expects energy to rip like gold and silver did last year since nobody owns it yet, outlines his "well to the end" strategy covering producers to pipelines to rigs, confirms we're in early innings of a commodity super cycle, and warns speculation will continue pushing until a recession breaks the momentum. Ted draws parallels to 1999 when shorts got killed for nine more months, sees no recession on the horizon yet to break the fever, and cautions that baby boomers age 65+ hold more stock than ever in history making them the worst positioned he's ever seen for the eventual wealth transfer.Links:Oxbow Advisors: https://oxbowadvisors.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OxbowAdvisorsX: https://x.com/Oxbow_AdvisorsBook: https://www.amazon.com/Second-Generation-Wealth-What-Want/dp/1966629168Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction - Ted Oakley returns, founder of Oxbow Advisors0:56 Two different things - Wall Street vs. the economy1:42 Consumer keeps falling apart - Credit card delinquencies at GFC levels2:24 K-shaped economy becoming more like an "i-shaped" economy3:32 "The Gambler" letter - Younger investors just betting, not investing4:02 Betting culture - Sports betting, one-day options, Bitcoin5:21 Know when to hold them, know when to fold them5:39 Cash position at 50% in short-term treasuries6:41 Long bond move - Topped 5.19% on 30-year6:57 Late 70s/early 80s parallel - Inflation went from 5% to 18%7:49 Are bond vigilantes coming back?7:54 Bond market eventually rules everything8:21 Expectation of more inflation ahead8:27 May CPI could come in at 4.25% or higher, 4.5-4.75% by fall9:30 Financial repression is the only way out10:36 Can't see how Fed cuts rates at all11:09 Asset holders benefited from inflation but that changes in linear inflation12:18 Energy is largest position - Up 35% vs. S&P's 20%13:11 Big tech stocks barely up from November/December levels13:41 Semiconductors probably at high for next 5 years14:34 Energy dramatically underweight in portfolios - Only 3% of S&P15:03 1980: Energy was 33% of S&P15:54 Energy names - Well to the end strategy16:53 Producers, midstream, rigs - The whole package17:34 Where we are in commodity cycle - Early innings18:38 Commodity positions - Rio Tinto, Vale, uranium, antimony, critical minerals19:18 Oil price and energy thesis20:16 AutoZone warning on motor oil shortages coming20:54 Precious metals positioning today21:54 Gold could go to $4,000 or $3,800 - Shake out momentum players23:12 1999 parallel - Momentum could continue 9 more months24:19 No recession on horizon - Need that to break momentum25:14 Speculative nature pushes until recession breaks it25:51 Second Generation Wealth - Massive wealth transfer concerns26:31 Baby boomers 65+ have most stock in assets ever in history27:22 Closing thoughts

Natalie Cilurzo joins Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell on Brew Ha Ha, to tell us about Russian River Brewing News and upcoming events. Her last time on the show was with Pliny the Younger back on March 18. Natalie has brought three beers to taste, including Vinnie Cilurzo’s first signature beer, Blind Pig. Herlinda and Natalie were at the Craft Beer Convention in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. The industry is contracting. Schlitz beer is closing, in Milwaukee. They have been there for 120 years. Somebody might acquire that brand. Unreasonable Hospitality One of the speakers they heard was Will Guidara. He talked about his book called Unreasonable Hospitality. Natalie is a fan and describes his advice for companies and people in any industry related to hospitality. He used to own 11 Madison Park, a Michelin 3-star restaurant. His approach is to do things for guests that are unexpected. For example, he sent his staff outside to get a hot dog from a street vendor, so he could serve it to his guests at his Michelin restaurant. He overheard their wish and did this to surprise them. ••••Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.•••• That made Natalie and Vinnie think a lot about the experience that people get from their annual Pliny the Younger release. Natalie remembers a young family there last year and the mom was pregnant, so Natalie gave her a RRBC onesie. The next year, they were back with the baby, wearing the onesie. The little details and personal touches are what make a customer’s experience special memorable. “It’s not just the beer, it’s the experience,” says Herlinda. The first beer they taste today is called Stivo. It’s a Keller Pils that they have made in collaboration with Firestone Walker for about 20 years, although this is the first year that RRBC is actually producing it. It has a dry hoppy flavor, but not like an IPA, what they call German hoppy, not as strong. A Really Fun Busy Summer at Russian River Brewing Natalie grew up around cars and racing, and when they built the location in Windor with a big parking lot, she thought it would be a great place for a car show. So, they are doing that and there are 4 of them on the calendar this summer. One of the cars on display is an original Volkswagen van, owned by the third generation of the family. There will be lots of cars, a chopper sometimes shows up, a fire engine and an old Highway Patrol car too. The NHRA top fuel drag races are coming to Sonoma Raceway and they will display the cars on Wednesday, July 15, before the race, Anton Brown’s top fuel dragster will be on display.

For the 46th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Georgina Adam, editor-at-large of The Art Newspaper, about her new book NextGen Collectors and the Art Market, published by Lund Humphries in association with Sotheby's Institute of Art.Adam argues that the generational shift now underway is different from those that came before it—not just in scale, but in kind. Younger collectors grew up online, which has reshaped how they discover and evaluate art, who influences their taste, and what they're willing to buy. Their conversation covers the collapse of traditional connoisseurship, the geographic expansion of the collector base into China, India, and the Middle East, and whether galleries, auction houses, and museums are adapting fast enough to a generation that collects very differently from the one before it.ABOUT THE AUTHORGeorgina Adam is the former Art Market editor of The Art Newspaper, where she is now editor-at-large.

If you've ever been nervous, resistant or even are currently dating a man younger than you, this one is for you. I share the full story of how I met Kaleb, the fears and expectations I had to surrender, and all the ways I truly believe God guided our relationship from the beginning. From prophetic words and dreams to wrestling with fear of what people would think, this episode is all about trusting God's plan over your own checklist. I also talk about practical things to look for when dating someone younger, why character matters more than status, and how God completely changed my perspective on love, marriage, and expectations. If you're single, dating, confused, or waiting on God in this season, I really hope this episode encourages you to trust that His plans are always better than ours.
Tom and Don explore whether artificial intelligence is truly ready to replace financial advisors, sparked by a recent Wall Street Journal experiment using ChatGPT to build a long-term investment portfolio. They break down the AI-generated recommendations, highlighting both the surprisingly sensible use of low-cost index funds and the concerning inconsistencies, recency bias, and lack of academic factor tilts. Along the way, they discuss whether AI gives investors what they need or simply what they want, the future of fiduciary advice, and why human judgment still matters. Listener questions cover retirement planning basics, the foreign tax credit on international ETFs, cash “bucket” strategies in retirement, and why banks paying 0.01% on savings accounts still somehow get away with it.0:05 AI threatens financial advice jobs and why Don is oddly relieved to be old1:15 Product placement, affiliate marketing, and favorite AI assistants2:06 Wall Street Journal test of ChatGPT as a financial advisor3:24 AI portfolio recommendations: 80/20 allocation breakdown5:13 Concerns about cash, REITs, and taxable account inefficiencies6:16 Lack of value and small-cap tilts in AI-generated portfolios7:10 Same prompt produces different AI portfolio recommendations8:44 MIT professor says AI investing isn't “ready for prime time”9:50 AI personalization and the danger of confirmation bias11:09 Why AI is at least favoring low-cost indexing over active management12:14 How listeners can submit questions to the show12:51 Listener question: What actually goes into a financial plan?14:27 Retirement income planning basics and fixed income sources15:17 Using portfolios, home equity, and withdrawal strategies in retirement16:03 Estate planning, insurance, healthcare, and lifestyle considerations17:01 Why purpose and meaning matter in retirement planning19:17 Younger generations avoiding phone calls20:02 Foreign tax credits with VXUS, VT, AVGE, and AVGV22:33 How little foreign tax credits usually matter in practice23:36 Apple fandom, Cupertino, and Don's dead Apple TV dilemma25:35 Listener question about cash buckets and retirement withdrawals26:14 How much “safe money” retirees should keep available27:19 Why excessive cash drags long-term portfolio performance29:13 Bank savings accounts paying 0.01% APY31:17 Free fiduciary advisor meetings through TalkingRealMoney.com32:33 Tom's advancing age and the race to catch Stacking BenjaminsQuestions?

Younger workers typically feel more optimistic about the job market than older ones, but a new Gallup poll found that only 43% of Americans aged 15 to 34 thought that last year was a good time to find a job. That's compared to 64% of those above the age of 55. The optimism of young workers has dropped by 27 points since 2023, potentially signaling the influence of AI. Plus: a breakdown of the costs, both human and financial, of Nebraska's Medicaid eligibility rollout and a look into the impact of rising gas prices on inflation.
