A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, And sure, they definitely can be. But understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, day after day. It's like banking with PNC Bank.

1:07It might seem boring to save, plan, and make calculated decisions with your bank. But keeping your money boring is what helps you live a more happily fulfilled life. PNC Bank, brilliantly boring since 1865. Brilliantly Boring Since 1865 is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. PNC Bank, National Association Member, FDIC. We have to talk about Apple. The rumors of its decline have been greatly overrated. Today, when the market was down, Apple hit a 52-week high. It is back on track,$283. so Apple quietly is having a stellar year again and is quietly moving up the mountain risk off and for the record I never took it out of two times Red Panda yes or no never took it out I just said Tim Cook should be replaced they said you were doing Apple wrong but I never left him.

2:21I never left. And then they reported that he's going to leave. And today, Apple's head of AI steps down. So two things can be true at the same time. If you listen, I can make you money. So, but the bigger theme for right now, I put this in Telegram for Stock Club before we started. Risk is off and Microsoft, Apple, and Google are going to act like a safety haven, like a bond because no one wants our American debt anymore. So the projected return for Apple over the next four years is supposed to be 25 to 33%. That would effectively replace the bond market. So the big money is going to flow to places where it can get a return and not have to worry about a 25 or 60 % decline.

3:09And in markets like this, I think they're going to do a hell of a lot better. But do they still need to fix their AI strategy? For sure. I think when we had this conversation it was kind of one of those things I remember I was like yeah I think we're looking at this maybe they're looking at this a little bit differently than how we were seeing it in the sense of everybody's rushing out to see what the product is what the product is and their thing was kind of let's sit back and see what happens and let's trust the regional approach that they said that they were going to take with going into India trying to get China sales for the first time they now pass their number one back in China the iPhone 17 beat all their sale projections and there seems to be an uptick for 2026 and then quietly nobody was like talking about this they they're in talks to to you know use intel which which what we saw intel 10 and so that ai strategy should be interesting right like you said the the head of ai stepped down but if we watch how google rolled out their approach to ai i feel like something similar is happening here right where it was like it was gpu gpu gpu we were like what's cool going what if mind control is real if you could control the behavior of anybody around you what kind of life would you have can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car when you look at your car you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you i gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused can you get someone to join your cult NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.

4:41NLP, aka Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all? NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
