Leadership Academy helps develop emerging leaders
The Leadership Academy West Central Indiana program is looking for community members who want to take their professional development to the next level.
'Our community is growing and thriving, and our leaders in the community are looking for emerging leaders that are ready to take the next steps in their career,' said Brennan Randolph, President of Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods College.

The program was developed by the West Central Indiana Partnership, which is an initiative of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce.
Josh Alsip, Vice President of Engagement for the partnership, said this program is for the cream of the crop in the community.
'So, we are really looking for a lot of those premier emerging leaders in West Central Indiana, because the people we're around, again, whether it's in business, non-profit and municipalities, are going to be our peers as we are here now and in the future,' said Alsip.
The program will include a robust curriculum that focuses on communication, productive conflict, effective teamwork and critical thinking.
'These are skills that are very important. Whether someone is a leader inside a local business, a manufacturer, or whether they are a leader in a non-profit out there in the community. So, through these five learning pillars that we have identified, we will build out the entire curriculum throughout the year,' said Alsip.
Program members will also be able to earn Master of Leadership Development degree credit hours from Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods College.

'We need to be developing our future leaders, and this program will help to do that. And at the same time, be earning graduate credit hours that they can take into one of our graduate programs,' said Randolph.
Alsip said this program aims to keep these potential leaders in the West Central Indiana Area.
'We don't want these people who are extremely talented, who can play a vital role in their communities going elsewhere. We want to give them that opportunity here in West Central Indiana,' said Alsip.
Applications for the program are now open and will be open until May 15. Professionals, educators, entrepreneurs and anyone with a passion for leadership are encouraged to apply.

BofA Sees Execution Strength in Colgate (CL), Modestly Trims Price Target to $98
Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) is one of the best defensive stocks to invest in according to analysts. On August 4, Bank of America Securities analyst Peter Galbo reiterated a Buy rating on Colgate-Palmolive, while lowering the price target from $105 to $98. His revised target follows the company's Q2 results, which broadly met expectations and reflected signs of operational strength. Organic sales came in line with expectations as they rose by 1.8% in the quarter, while gross margins improved and advertising costs declined, resulting in stronger-than-expected earnings. Adjusted EPS came in ahead of both Bank of America and street estimates, indicating improved cost control and execution. A supermarket aisle filled with Household and Personal Care Products. Galbo also pointed to Colgate's new three-year productivity initiative as a positive development. The program aims to streamline the supply chain and support long-term strategic priorities. While full-year EPS guidance remains unchanged, the company now expects low single-digit net sales growth and sees reduced currency-related pressure compared to earlier forecasts. Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) sells household and personal products and boasts many well-known brands in oral care, personal care, home care, and pet nutrition. While we acknowledge the potential of CL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Montreal woman is worried about husband's gambling addiction — now he owes $1.1M. Ramsey Show hosts said to do this ASAP
It's common for spouses to combine finances — but sometimes, even when you keep your money separate, one partner's bad habits can impact the other's financial future. Such is the case for Sarah from Montreal, Quebec, who called into The Ramsey Show two weeks after learning that her husband has a gambling addiction. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Robert Kiyosaki warns of a 'Greater Depression' coming to the US — with millions of Americans going poor. But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'. How to get in now Despite having been together for 11 years, Sarah only recently discovered that her husband has racked up $1.1 million in debt over the past decade. Now, she's taken over his finances and wants to help him tackle his debts. "He had like maybe $1,000 left in his bank account and everything was maxed, so he needed help," said Sarah. The problem? She has no idea where to start. A tricky financial situation Sarah has long wanted to combine her finances with her husband, but he has always pushed back on the idea. On top of dealing with a gambling addiction that he had kept a secret, his debts have also made him fall behind on his taxes. Sarah's husband likely wanted to keep his finances separate so that he didn't drag her down into his mess, but as Sarah explained to hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw, her husband's actions have impacted them both. For one thing, the Canadian couple had plans to buy a home in Florida when Sarah thought they were doing well financially. Sarah herself has been saving well and thought her husband was doing the same. This gambling news came as a major blow, especially since it caught her off guard. "I was, like, totally, totally shocked," Sarah shared on the show. Now, the one saving grace is that Sarah's husband earns a high income from his business, which earns an annual revenue of about $1.3 million. And while that's not all profit, Sarah says her husband earns about $100,000 a month and they pay taxes on those earnings. However, he owes over $1 million, broken down as follows: $64,000 in back taxes from 2024 $550,000 in provisional taxes for the upcoming year (a requirement in Canada for high earners) $438,000 in a mortgage line of credit, or home equity line of credit (HELOC) $125,000 in a personal line of credit Sarah said that she and her husband are in couples therapy, while the two also see their own therapists individually. For Sarah, she hopes her therapy will help her cope with what's happened, while her husband's therapy will hopefully address his gambling addiction. Meanwhile, Kamel and Warshaw had advice for Sarah. Kamel told Sarah that she should take away her husband's remaining credit card and freeze his credit so that he can't take out another loan and spend more money on gambling. Warshaw, meanwhile, gave Sarah advice on how to tackle all of her husband's debt, which starts with paying off the taxes. "Do the old ones first, and then once you've cleared those, then start doing the prep for the next year," said Warshaw. Next, Warshaw recommended tackling the personal line of credit. "Do it in order like the debt snowball — personal loans first, smallest to largest," said Warshaw. After that, Warshaw suggested paying off the HELOC. Hopefully, if Sarah's husband continues to earn a good income and they stick to this plan, the two of them can dig their way out of this financial hole. Stay in the know.

Gambling addictions are on the rise Ever since the Supreme Court took steps to legalize sports betting, there's been an uptick in that activity, along with people seeking help with gambling addictions, according to a recent study by the University of California San Diego Qualcomm Institute and School of Medicine. The study's data found that internet searches for help with gambling addictions rose 23% on a national scale since 2018. Meanwhile, states that two million U.S. adults meet the criteria for a severe gambling addiction, while four to six million have a mild or moderate gambling addiction. Recent data from Gaming America also found that 10% of men 30 and under show signs of a gambling problem, compared to 3% of the general population. Part of the increase may be due to the growing popularity and availability of online sportsbooks, which have made it easier for people to bet on sports. But either way, a gambling addiction can be a costly problem to have. The National Council on Problem Gambling says the annual social cost of problematic gambling is an astounding $14 billion. According to the average man with a gambling addiction has anywhere from $55,000 to $90,000 of debt. Women with gambling addictions, meanwhile, have an average debt of $15,000. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, you can click here to find resources in your state. You don't want a gambling addiction to wreck your finances, relationships or your life as a whole, so it's critical that you do what you can to get ahead of it. Meanwhile, if you're already in debt due to a gambling problem, it pays to get help dealing with the financial end of things. You may want to consider consulting a financial advisor or a debt relief company for assistance. In some extreme cases, filing for bankruptcy might also be an option.

BofA on why European defense spending is unlikely to be so quick and easy
European defense spending looks set to move out of a years-long slumber as rising geopolitical pressures force the bloc to rethink its defense budget. But Bank of America Securities economists warn that boosting budgets to meet new NATO targets will not be 'quick and easy' for most EU countries. 'A ramp-up in defence spending is unlikely to be so quick and easy,' BofA economists said in a recent note, highlighting simulations showing that raising core defense spending to NATO-agreed targets of 3.5% of GDP would likely clash with the economic reality of stretched public finances, especially in major southern European nations. BofA's simulations show that 'pushing core defense budgets to 3.5% by 2028 could increase government debt ratios between 2.4% and 4.1% above baseline levels' across these countries and others including Portugal and Greece. Meeting the 5% threshold presents even greater challenges, with 'concerning debt sustainability implications, especially for Spain/Italy.' France and Italy are still 'under the EU's Excessive Deficit Procedure,' while Spain's fiscal balances are 'vulnerable given limited progress on fiscal consolidation.' Activation of defence funding instruments such as the National Escape Clause (NEC) and the Security Action for Europe (SAFE), two measures launched under the European Commission's ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030, has yet to translate into large-scale budget increases among key players. France, Italy, and Spain have not fully activated NEC, while Greece and Portugal have modestly utilized these measures. The complexity of this political and economic balancing act implies that a significant ramp-up in defense spending is unlikely to be quick or easy.'Ultimately, some heavy lifting at the EU level will be needed to help ease the burden.
