Ric Trout, EdD, RHU, REBC, LPRT reposted thisRic Trout, EdD, RHU, REBC, LPRT reposted thisWho Leads Global LNG Trade in 2025? Global LNG trade reached 578.5 bcm in 2025, with a relatively concentrated group of countries dominating both supply and demand. On the export side, the United States strengthened its position as the world's largest LNG exporter: 🇺🇸 US - 147.0 bcm 🇶🇦 Qatar - 111.0 bcm 🇦🇺 Australia - 104.8 bcm Together, these three countries supplied around 63% of global LNG exports. The import side tells a different story, with demand heavily concentrated in Asia: 🇨🇳 China - 90.8 bcm 🇯🇵 Japan - 88.5 bcm 🇰🇷 South Korea - 63.1 bcm China narrowly overtook Japan as the world's largest LNG importer, while the three largest Asian buyers together accounted for around 42% of global LNG trade. Another striking feature is the gap between the leaders. The US exported more LNG than China or Japan individually imported, highlighting how rapidly US liquefaction capacity has reshaped the global gas market. As LNG infrastructure continues to expand, the geography of global gas trade is becoming increasingly maritime, flexible and interconnected.

Ric Trout, EdD, RHU, REBC, LPRT reposted thisRic Trout, EdD, RHU, REBC, LPRT reposted thisWhen asked about potentially paying eight billion dollars in taxes over five years, Jensen Huang’s response was incredibly refreshing. He stated that being able to afford such a massive tax bill is a distinct privilege. Rather than looking for ways to avoid these contributions, he is not afraid of paying taxes and views it as a clear sign of success. He even mentioned that nothing would give him more joy than paying even more in taxes because it simply means he is making more money. His approach to his team is equally remarkable. He is famous for wanting to pay his employees as much as he possibly can, directly contrasting the common practice of paying people as little as possible to get the work done. We need more leaders who do not just chase profits but actively view their wealth as a tool to uplift their entire ecosystem. A leader who prioritizes maximizing employee compensation while proudly supporting the government infrastructure sets a standard we should all strive to emulate. This is the kind of grounded leadership that transforms companies into monumental success stories while maintaining a deep sense of social responsibility. Video Credit: CBS News

This year, I joined the team from Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA) and HUNDREDS of community volunteers from across the city and parish to spruce up the campus at my alma mater Northside High School. It’s an opportunity to bring the community together, promote beautification projects and litter abatement and build a culture and laser focus among our kids of forever enhancing our own Quality of Place! Talk about FUN!!! Thanks to Love Our Schools and Parish Proud for organizing many groups of community volunteers! 🌳💐🌞

Business Bankers - Stop selling products your clients don’t actually need. Every time you do, you lose trust. And once trust is gone—you’ve lost the deal before it even starts. Too many Relationship Bankers fall into the trap of pitching generic solutions, instead of aligning with what the customer cares about. That’s where misalignment happens—you’re solving the wrong problem, or worse, not solving any problem at all! The truth is, top-performing bankers don’t just talk about their bank’s services. They position themselves as trusted problem-solvers, aligning their solutions with the client’s real pain points. Here’s the shift: 👉 Stop pushing what’s easy to sell. 👉 Start listening for what’s really keeping your clients awake. 👉 Then frame your solution around the customer’s business pain—not your product list. This is exactly what we break down in our free eBook: “How Top Business Bankers Exceed KPIs, While Working Less Hours.” If you’re serious about hitting targets without burning out, the next step is to use the Gold Banker Success System—a proven, repeatable roadmap created by bankers who’ve been exactly where you are. Join us inside the Gold Banker FINBA Membership via our website today, and start working smarter, not harder.

Most investors sell a property… pay the taxes… and start over. Smart investors trade up. In this episode of Deeds, Deals & Dirt, we sat down with Todd Merritt to break down 1031 Exchanges. It is one of the most powerful tools in real estate for building wealth without Uncle Sam taking the first cut. If you’re in real estate or investing in property, this one’s worth the listen. https://lnkd.in/eKdyMRNu

One unchecked box can trigger an IRS notice. ACA reporting errors rarely come from complex strategy mistakes. They come from simple review gaps. One of the most common issues we see lives on Form 1094-C, and it’s easy to miss when teams are moving fast or juggling too many manual steps. The problem isn’t intent. It’s when the paperwork doesn’t clearly reflect what actually happened during the year. And when the IRS sees uncertainty, it responds with questions or penalties. Catching small issues early protects your time, money, and risk profile later. #BenefitsCompliance #ACAReporting #RiskManagement #BenefitsComplianceSolutions
