This is exactly what he'd warned his government about a year ago.
26:44
If the United States doesn't do something and Greece goes communist, then we're going to see what is in effect domino theory.
28:53
The vision of America at the head of one world, everyone working together, was gone, replaced by a vision of America as the head of the free world, fighting against a great evil, a great threat, communism.
29:12
People like Kennan, these were the founders of what I would call two worlds.
29:18
So within a few years after Bretton Woods, you have a very, very different model of world order, almost a complete repudiation of all these years of one world efforts.
3:02
What do you know about him? What'd you think about the pick and what are your thoughts?
3:05
Yeah, I think all of us have, uh, made fun of John horse draft picks, uh, over the course of our careers, uh, you know, whether on podcasts or, uh, wherever but this was one where they announced brain birds i was like oh wow this is a really good pick i think i put that in the the group chat that we had going during the uh during the festivities last night um you know this this draft was just really deep with guards and it was just depending on which one was going to fall there was a fall to the bucks at number 10 there was that big run of guards right after five um so it was just whoever's going to fall but For this particular Bucs team, I think this is like brain birds.
3:47
This is a guy who could play right away.
3:48
I think he could play next season.
3:50
He's strong enough as opposed to the other Bucs draft pick that we can talk about later.
3:56
But brain birds is like a good two-way guard.
4:00
As a guy who watches a lot of both college basketball and pro basketball, like the difference in talent is stark.

9:55
and amen maybe is more of a development guy so again that makes sense to me but also i think there's a pretty big volume of risk here
11:26
Mm-hmm.
11:27
So I'd rather handle this other uncomfortable emotion instead.
11:31
So I'm substituting one thing for another.
11:33
Dr. Andy Galpin here.
11:34
As a listener of the show, you've probably heard us talking about the Arete program, which we're all incredibly proud of.
11:40
It's the culmination of everything Dan Garner and I have learned over more than two decades of working with some of the world's most elite performers, award-winning athletes, billionaires, musicians, executives, and frankly, anyone who just wanted to be at their absolute best.
11:54
Arete is not a normal coaching program.

7 MINS LATER

18:55
Well, so if someone is, is worried about embarrassment or whatever it is, like, um, what are, like, the most common things you see that lead to self-sabotage, and how do you help people work through those?
7:05
So that involved them cutting their prices from Japan-
7:09
To some extent.
7:10
I mean, the, the reaction of suppliers in different countries and different industries was very different depending on their situation, depending on how much competition they faced, depending on the ability of the US importer to shop for alternative suppliers.
7:29
But as we go through time, the marketplace started to form a judgment of just how permanent and just how high these tariffs would be.
7:41
Once the tariff regimes were kind of bedded in, were the major US retailers swallowing the costs for fear of upsetting their customers?
7:52
They were, and they also believed that over time, these tariffs might come down either through these bilateral deals that the Trump administration was negotiating or through ex-- specific exemptions.
8:08
And of course, a lot of big firms in the United States were lobbying for exemptions.
8:14
Having said this, after it became clear that there would be significant in-- tariffs in place and that they would be applying globally, you started to see more pass-through of the cost to consumers.
