Men's Basketball vs Howard and Saint Louis Starts at 0:51 This is part one of a part two podcast! Which Robbie Avila nickname was your favorite? Of the last ten times Michigan has made the tournament they've been in the Sweet Sixteen nine. Were Beilein teams built better for the tournament than for the Big Ten? Howard shot 48% from three, the only reason they were able to get to 80 points. What Wisconsin nonsense is this? Michigan shoots 84% from two, one of those misses was from Oscar Goodman. Roddy Gayle was uninspiring in the Big Ten Tournament but returned to his March form. Moving on to Saint Louis, they're a dangerous offensive team but there was no way they were going to be able to check Michigan. Somehow Saint Louis was the #1 field goal efficiency defense in the country, it's a good sign that Michigan shot 1.35 PPP. Avila fell for Mara's fake pass. Since they started counting blocks Michigan is the first team to have all starters score 10+ points and have a block. The Mara we're seeing now is night and day from what we saw at the beginning of the season. Could you convince him to come back another year? What was up with that non-flagrant foul that ended up being a foul on Burnett? Technically it was a cylinder foul. High Point isn't a real school, you should only schedule real schools.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Spring Football Bits Starts at 34:37 There are finally enough bits coming out of the spring! Ron Bellamy is back as director of player personnel, which makes all the sense in the world. Apparently Whittingham wanted to come back to Utah but he wouldn't have as much control over decision making so he left. What exactly happened here? We thought he was retiring but clearly he didn't. Manuel Beigel moved to offensive line, this is concerning because there are plenty of offensive lineman and this team needs defensive tackles. In more positive news, Savion Hiter is already running with the ones. His built is like Jabrill Peppers. The defense will "resemble the 2023 defense" in terms of style, according to Jay Hill. It will depend what they can get out of Zeke Berry and Rod Moore. Injured guys are still injured. Receiver depth is Marsh, Ffrench, Moa, and Buchanon. Defensive tackle tea leaves are... uhhh... concerning? You need four decent defensive tackles, they currently have three and there's no guarantee that any of them are good. Maybe that's why Hiter is getting so many yards in practice. The NDSU linebacker captain needs to simmer for a bit, he just got here. If one of the best offensive line coaches in the country is excited then we're excited. If Babalola actually starts he'll be an All-American. Sounds like they're kicking Link inside?  3. Hot Takes and Hockey Tournament Starts at 1:02:51 Takes hotter than Howard for the last 10 minutes of the first half. Michigan gets the #1 overall seed in hockey, their reward is a game against Bentley in Albany. They also won the Big Ten Tournament after a 7-3 win over Ohio State. They get medals but not stoats. Playing a team with tournament lives on the line was really good practice. They were so excited to win a banner. Did you know Gonzaga used to have a hockey team. Bentley is 23rd in NPI which is better than their conference usually does. Doesn't look like a team that will threaten Michigan but anything crazy can happen in this tournament. The matchup is there against Penn State but the vibes are annoying since Michigan has already played them five times (and lost once). Will the building have 12 people in it? Minnesota-Duluth had a really good nonconference run but fell off towards the end of the season. They swept Minnesota which doesn't mean much this year. Congratulations Western Michigan, you are a #1 seed and you probably get to play Denver at altitude if you win your first game. The committee doesn't want schools to have home games but then they either give schools "home" games or play in empty rinks. This game should be at Yost and it would be nuts, Michigan deserves the home advantage that they earned. If Wisconsin gets goaltending they're a top four team, if not they'll lose in the first round.  MUSIC: "Hard Dreaming Man"—Drugdealer "Honey Drip"—Long Island Railroad, Smushie and Ryan Gebhard “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Juan and Mary in Brooklyn are 49 and 48 with $2.2 million saved. Can Juan afford to retire early, or just walk away if he gets fired? And if they get divorced, yikes - but does the math still work? That's today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 573. But first, "Reuben Sailing Shoes" is 68, single, retired, and has $1.6 million saved, but he's never had a budget in his life.

The Tourney Draw, Midwest Region Preview Starts at 0:51 Overall a fine draw for the 3rd one-seed, with several teams that did not want Michigan as their one-seed. Alabama as a four-seed is a fine draw. They have some big wins because they can shoot their way to a W in any game, but they're also a tempo team that gave up 40%+ ORebs to the three teams they faced with major bigs. The 5-seed is Texas Tech which lost star center JT Toppin but shot their way to a win over ISU without him. We think they're a good upset pick in a 5-12 with Akron but we are impressed with the Just-a-Shooterness of Donovan Atwell. The 8-9 are Georgia and Saint Louis. We want Georgia, another tempo team that's a year away from its maximum and has a center who just makes buckets and blocks shots, versus Saint Louis which is where Robbie Avila went; they're five-out, #1 in the country in average 2PT distance, but opponents also get to the rim (Avila is no defender). On the other side is 2-seed Iowa State, which doesn't block shots but they turn you over and sniper Milan Momcilovic can shoot over guards—a team with three bigs might be their kryptonite (see: 79-70 vs Cincy). Joshua Jefferson is a Danny Wolf (28 assist, 17 TO) PF. 3-seed Virginia has a couple of ogres they rotate at center that might prove tough, and their own Yax-like in Thijs De Ridder, who's not from New Jersey. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Purdue Starts at 33:39 Takes hotter than Brian when they refused to call a 5th foul on Oscar Cluff the fifth time. You're not insane; it was a ref show, and a clownish end to DJ Carstensen's career. But that only explains why Purdue won—they played Michigan evenly because Michigan had their worst defensive performance, unable to stop the PnR two-man game between Smith and TKR. M's offense is off the hook for the 1st half since Purdue was just fouling and getting away with it, but what's their excuse for not having any plans for a stretch in the 2nd half when Purdue pulled ahead? Hoping against hope that May has been saving all of his real sets for the Tournament. Brian's giving up on Gayle and his Knoblockian adventures at the rim. 3. Men's Basketball vs Wisconsin and Ohio State Starts at 1:01:40 Wisconsin goes 7/23 from two but 16/38 from three once they've given up on Boyd and Blackwell drives that worked for them in the first meeting. Their twos were earned—pushed back and forced to shoot over Mara. Only the Aussie going nuts from three got this competitive again, but we were still dismayed over Michigan's offense. They had a Mara advantage they only ran in the 2nd half, and didn't really give him help off of that. Tschetter minutes are not working. The OSU game was annoying for all the little reasons, but the big one is something from the whole Tourney, which was Morez Johnson not playing up to his standard. He got the first two series and second was a fallaway jumper. He's a bit limited when backing up people have found. Bruce Thornton was limited by length but his eyes lit up whenever he got Cadeau, who seemed to be tiring late, but Michigan is a TO machine without him. Maybe they're saving Yax usage for the Dance. 4. Hockey vs Penn State and Tournament Lookahead Starts at 1:22:35 They're now locked into the 1st overall seed with Ohio State knocking MSU out of the tournament, and North Dakota losing, which means YAY we don't have to play Denver in a Denver Regional (stupidest playoff format ever). Michigan-NoDak-MSU-WMU will be the 1-seeds, in that order, and Michigan will draw the worst the #16, IE the Atlantic Hockey champion (Bentley most likely?) and the worst #2 seed (Duluth? Cornell? Penn State?) in, likely, Albany. Penn State hockey is James Franklin Penn State football: can beat anybody except the big bads in their conference. Not afraid of facing them again after a thoroughly dominant semifinal. Good to see a snipe from Hage, and what Moldenauer has become.

The Nick Bosa contract restructure is a huge move for the San Francisco 49ers, freeing $17.1M in 2026 cap space after converting $21.4M into a signing bonus. But what does it mean for the future of the roster?In this video, we break down whether the move locks Bosa into San Francisco long-term and if the extra cap space could open the door for his brother, Joey Bosa, to join the 49ers. Would Joey make sense as a situational pass rusher heading into his age-31 season?We also analyze the remaining edge rusher options in free agency, including Haason Reddick, Derek Barnett, Anfernee Jennings, and Leonard Floyd, and whether the 49ers should sign a veteran or target an edge rusher in the 2026 NFL Draft.Plus, the 49ers made a quiet special teams upgrade by signing punter Corliss Waitman to replace Thomas Morstead — and the numbers show why this move could matter more than people think.Topics covered:Nick Bosa contract restructure explainedIs Joey Bosa a realistic 49ers signing?Best remaining edge rushers in free agencyShould the 49ers draft an EDGE at pick 27?Corliss Waitman vs Thomas Morstead stats comparisonSubscribe for the latest 49ers news, rumors, free agency updates, and NFL Draft coverage.

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, is thrilled to be in conversation with our city's new Sustainability Director! In January, Jake Medley was named as the new Executive Director of the Louisville Mayor's Office of Sustainability (OS). Learn more about the Office of Sustainability and access tons of great resources at https://louisvilleky.gov/government/office-sustainability Jake first joined the OS in February 2024 and has been driving efforts to expand its programs. He filled in as interim director back in September, and has kept busy: • Reorganizing the office budget and allocating funding for a new energy efficiency & weatherization program for Louisville residents to be deployed this year. • Helping deliver a record $11.5M in green economic development in 2025 between the Solarize, Cool Roof, and EPAD programs. • Helping secure residential solar net metering protections for Louisville ratepayers, including over 300 Solarize participants.

Jones Park, 744 S 23rd St. OS, Parks Alliance of Louisville, and partners are bringing back this Louisville Earth Month kickoff event. This community festival will feature free local burritos on compostable diningware, music, performances, art, sustainability activities, a park tour, green business displays, and local resources - all in celebration of our planet. Learn more at https://bit.ly/EarthFest2026 Currently, Jake is helping launch the Louisville Green Bank - the first of its kind in Louisville. The Mayor's Sustainability Office houses a collection of programs that serve as the foundation of the budding Louisville Green Bank: * The Solarize Louisville Program provides a 12-18% discount on residential and small commercial solar panel installations. The program is in its 5th year of operation and has produced over 300 projects. Solarize Louisville had a record year in 2025, likely due to the sunset of residential clean energy tax credits. Credits are still available, however, to commercial projects so long as they are in service by the end of 2027, so the program will be catering outreach to non-profits interested going solar. * The Cool Roof rebate program is an initiative in which Louisville is a national leader. Cool Roof products reflect sunlight and keep properties cooler, requiring less work from AC systems in warm weather. Since 2017, Metro has delivered over 400 Cool Roof projects to residents, non-profits, and businesses covering a total of 1.4M sq ft of Louisville roof top. Louisville Metro has deployed over $800K in rebates and every dollar returns an estimated $5-6 in avoided energy costs over the lifetime of a cool roof. * EPAD – The Energy Project Assessment District is a property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing tool that structures sustainability upgrades for commercial projects in end of year property tax bills. We had two EPAD projects downtown last year totaling $7.5 million worth of energy upgrades (Derby City Lofts and Zen NuLu). Metro is working through a grant process now that will unveil the Green Bank in an official manner while setting us up for additional phase of funding. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

Kyler Murray is in Minnesota today meeting with the Vikings, but before that, Murray met virtually with ‘multiple QB-needy' teams, including the Steelers. Steelers reporters are quickly putting the kibosh on the team signing Murray even if it's for the veteran minimum. Why are people so disgusted with the thought of Murray playing QB for the Steelers? Is Murray an option for more than 2026? The guys couldn't remember if there was this much backlash when the Steelers showed interest in Russell Wilson. A former Steelers QB3 just signed a deal worth $4M and Murray can be had for $1.3M.

Kyler Murray is in Minnesota today meeting with the Vikings, but before that, Murray met virtually with ‘multiple QB-needy' teams, including the Steelers. Steelers reporters are quickly putting the kibosh on the team signing Murray even if it's for the veteran minimum. Why are people so disgusted with the thought of Murray playing QB for the Steelers? Is Murray an option for more than 2026? The guys couldn't remember if there was this much backlash when the Steelers showed interest in Russell Wilson. A former Steelers QB3 just signed a deal worth $4M and Murray can be had for $1.3M. Are Steelers fans still strongly against Kyler Murray being the team's QB? Cardinals fan called in to tell us he's happy to see Murray go. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray doesn't think the Steelers were all that close to making a move for Malik Willis. Ray is unaware of the Steelers virtually meeting with Kyler Murray before he went to meet in-person with Minnesota. Is Aaron Rodgers really the best out there after showing what he can and can't do in his first season in Pittsburgh? Ray isn't buying into Kirk Cousins being a real option. Ray thinks the Steelers could even give Rodgers a raise if he comes back in 2026. Michael Pittman Jr. was Ray's choice of ‘best move' made by the Steelers so far in the new league year. Ray isn't ruling out a Calvin Austin return if he agrees to a deal for under $5M/year. Ray believes the next notable WR move is made in the draft. There was a report the other night that the Steelers signed Brock Hoffman to fill a void on the interior of the offensive line, but it was quickly scrubbed and there has been nothing since. Spencer Anderson is the leader in the clubhouse to be left guard, but Ray said there will be competition brought in via free agency or the draft. Ray will be at a dinner later with Mike Tomlin in attendance.

The sale usually dies the moment the prospect feels like you are trying to sell them. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Anthony Vizzari, VP of Growth at 7th Level, to break down why the best closers do not rely on pressure, fake rapport, or recycled scripts. Anthony shares how thousands of calls trained him to spot buyer patterns instantly and how identity shapes performance long before skill ever shows up on the call.They also get into early event failures, what changed when they stopped overtraining audiences, why amateurs stay trapped in the prospect's story, and what it really takes to reach sales mastery over time. If you want to sell with more certainty, read buyers faster, and stop triggering resistance before the conversation even gets going, this episode is for you.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction(00:47) Early 7th Level Event Mistakes and Overtraining Buyers(03:01) What Changed When They Simplified the Offer(07:08) How Anthony First Found Jeremy Miner(09:18) Why Jeremy Started 7th Level(15:47) Sales Culture in Australia vs America(18:57) Why Prospects Shut Down When They Feel Sold(25:34) Buyer Environment, Identity, and Sales Psychology(29:33) Pattern Recognition and What Real Sales Reps See(35:49) Why You Never Outperform The Way You See YourselfGot a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?

Men's Basketball vs Michigan State Starts at 0:51 Michigan is the best team in the Big Ten since the 1977 Indiana team. You can't say they didn't earn it, they had to win at Breslin, Carver, and Illinois. They would still win the Big Ten outright if you only counted the games that Michigan won by double digits. It was Yaxel's deep shooting that propelled Michigan when they weren't shooting well. Michigan felt mortal with Tschetter at the four but MSU didn't exactly take advantage of that time. There were a lot of 1-on-1 opportunities, Michigan only had 12 assists. 1.27 PPP is crazy against Michigan State. Where does Yaxel Lendeborg rank all time amongst all Michigan players? They had a reel prepared for when Fears would kick someone in the jingle jangles, and it did happen. Credit Dusty for keeping the team calm when things start to go wrong. How is Fears allowed to keep playing the way he does? Congrats to Nebraska for getting the #2 seed.  2. Men's Basketball vs Iowa Starts at 32:06 A very slow game and a very annoying win. Their thing is fouling you constantly and hoping the refs don't call it. They fired Fran and we hate Iowa basketball now. Michigan finally gets some calls in the second half and turns the ball over a lot. Bennett Stirtz's 4-14 from three feels optimistic for him given the shot quality. There was a "sink or swim" moment when Cadeau had to sit out and it wasn't great. Cadeau played 30 minutes but in an important tournament setting he'll probably play more than that. Roddy Gayle has some at-the-rim difficulties that have lasted most of the conference season. Fran McCaffery was a beautiful Big Ten coach and now he's in the Ivy League. 3. Hot Takes and Spring Ball - Offense Starts at 54:05 How excited is everyone for this spring practice? What will Bryce's role as a runner be? JJ didn't run much but in the championship season there were only 4-5 games where he would have needed to. Maybe Bryce looks a little better throwing downfield now that he has actual receivers. JJ Buchanan might have a Colston Loveland level catch radius. There was a moment of silence for Max Bredeson but we truncate silence on this podcast so you didn't hear it. What's the tight end depth going to look like? Evan Link to guard? We're expecting a big third year swing for Blake Frazier.  4. Spring Ball - Defense Starts at 1:22:09 Any sort of news about John Henry Daley being able to play would be high on the list. And Rod Moore. Also hoping to hear good things about Palepale and Cam Brandt. The North Dakota State linebacker (Nathaniel Staehling) transfer could be really good, he was a captain and these scenarios often work out nicely. Ideally he's the 3rd linebacker because that means some other guys popped off. How much much better will everyone look with better coaching? Unfortunately we won't be able to see if rotation on defense gets better in the Spring Game. Could Shamari Earls overtake Jyaire Hill? New kickers but kicking in April seems different than in the Fall. Looking forward to punting drills. Taylor Tatum for punt return?    MUSIC: "Any Major Dude"—Steely Dan "Believe"—My Morning Jacket "Broken Chair"—Luna “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra   

Step into Episode 202 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Dan Bogert, 10-year Government Affairs veteran at the Arizona Restaurant Association, to pull back the curtain on the policy battles, legislative wins, and behind-the-scenes advocacy that protect Arizona's restaurant industry every single day. From a viral "Free the Scoop" ice cream bill to negotiating directly with the governor's office twice a week through a global pandemic, Dan brings the kind of candid insider knowledge that rarely makes the news but directly shapes how every operator runs their business.The conversation covers a sweeping decade of high-stakes moments: COVID shutdowns, the $4M outdoor dining program, the messy road to getting alcohol-to-go codified into law, now finally simplified as a clean permit as of January 1, 2026, plus the ongoing fight against dram shop liability and the Torres Supreme Court ruling that changed the game. Dan also flags what operators should be watching right now in 2026: the mainstream rise of generic GLP-1 drugs quietly suppressing restaurant traffic, a new Tempe drink-spiking ordinance, and Arizona's shifting labor regulation landscape. They close with a genuine breakdown of why an ARA membership — starting at $495/year — can be one of the most valuable investments a restaurant owner makes, giving operators a strong voice at the Capitol and access to the advocacy that helps protect and shape Arizona's restaurant industry. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round that reveals Dan was a competitive swimmer who'd choose dishwasher if he ever crossed over to restaurant life.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:04) Intro: Episode 202, Meet Dan Bogert & the Arizona Rain(2:04 - 3:35) Dan's Background: Tempe Native, Wildland Firefighter & Federal Reserve(3:35 - 6:38) Landing at the ARA, Lobbying Life & the Learning Curve(6:38 - 10:38) First Big Win: The Ice Cream Bill & "Free the Scoop"(10:38 - 14:32) COVID-19: Shutdowns, Reopening Guidance & the $4M Outdoor Dining Program(14:32 - 18:40) Alcohol To-Go: AZ To Go Week, Executive Orders & the 2021 Legislative Fix(18:40 - 21:25) What Is an Executive Order?

A reveal can thrill or sting, but it always tells the truth. We opened with lighthearted stories, then shared a milestone that took our breath away: our church family pledged 2.4M over two years. That number isn't a headline to frame; it's a compass. Every dollar represents a person within reach who needs hope, healing, and a living encounter with Jesus. It also exposed something deeper—our commitment to pray, fast, and follow wherever God leads, even when it interrupts our comfort.From there we moved into the core of our message: living unashamed of the gospel. Paul's words in Romans 1:16 are more than a slogan. They remind us that the gospel is God's power to save, restore, and realign lives. We contrasted crowd-pleasing religion with cross-shaped discipleship, told real stories of fasting that reshaped desires, and pressed into repentance that actually repairs relationships. Not the vague kind, but the kind that picks up the phone, names the wound, and chooses a new way forward. We asked what it looks like to carry a daily cross in a loud culture—courage without cruelty, clarity without pride, and public faith without performative hype.As we looked ahead, we talked about why this moment is a starting line. Buildings and budgets are tools, not trophies. The mission is people—our neighbors, co-workers, and families who have yet to meet Jesus. If this is truly His work, it's unstoppable; our role is radical surrender. Imagine hundreds of us fasting weekly, praying at set times, confessing quickly, and inviting boldly. Imagine the ripple in our county as ordinary obedience adds up. That's the future we see, and we're stepping into it together.If this resonates, join us.

Guest post by Iaros Belkin, Founder of Belkin Marketing A deep tech founder spent $180,000 on traditional marketing in 2024. PR agency, LinkedIn ads, conference sponsorships. Result? 287 inbound leads, zero institutional investors secured. Top tips for Tech Founders Then he attended three private events over six months. Two invitation-only Davos gatherings, one Tulum music festival. Cost: $35,000. Result? Twelve family office conversations, three term sheets, one became his Series B lead at $2.4M. For deals measured in millions the closure is likely to happen on a different level. In the places that you'd least expect. The Event Ecosystems Most Founders Never Think About Davos Week remains the concentrated capital access point, but not how most think. Forget the official Forum. Real conversations happen at private dinners hosted by family offices at chalets all over the mountain. Guest lists of 12-20-30, organized around specific themes. UnDavos Summit, founded by Mark Turrell, is another good example. Now in its 15th year with 1,500+ delegates, it combines public sessions with invitation-only investor roundtables. Unlike official WEF requiring institutional sponsorship, UnDavos selects based on achievement. A robotics founder attended UnDavos 2025 and three private dinners. Within the week: met 8 family office principals, secured 2 term sheet discussions, landed Fortune 500 pilot customer intro. Investment: $12K. Outcome: Series B discussions with 2 Swiss funds, $8M pipeline. Then there's the Tulum-Ibiza music circuit. Nobody really thinks of it as a deliberate networking infrastructure. But it has the same international high-level crowd you could meet in Davos. Not party tourism — think tech entrepreneurs, family office principals who love to party. And chill with entertainment magnates, music industry executives and artists with tens of millions of social followers. VIP or backstage access to major performances functions as a curated business environment. A tech founder secured backstage at a Black Coffee performance in Ibiza. Met a family office principal, two music executives, another Web3 founder. Follow-up over 6 months: $3M investment plus strategic partnership. Investment: $5K. How to Actually Get The Access WEF's Official Technology Pioneers status is the fastest pathway for companies without existing networks. Requires Series A+ and breakthrough innovation. If selected: 2-year engagement, automatic Davos invitation. The most institutional and predictable way of solving the access issue would be membership organizations. For example, Belkin Marketing Club offers a subscription-based solution to private and VVIP gatherings across multiple events ecosystems worldwide while Backstage.global provides verified backstage access to major music concerts and festivals. Some strategic advisors can also facilitate introductions to private dinners and invitation-only gatherings. Advisor vets founder readiness, makes introduction to host, founder builds relationship independently. The Numbers Look Good Traditional marketing ($150K-500K annually) reaches middle management and junior analysts. Strategic event presence ($30K-80K annually) provides direct access to 10-30 C-suite partners and institutional allocators with actual decision authority. Conversion rates run 2-5x higher. Institutional investors don't decide based on pitch decks. They invest in people. These highly saturated days at private gatherings show how executives handle stress, treat service staff, whether they listen or only talk. Whether we approve or not, trillions in capital operate through networks that don't respond to cold outreach. For founders seeking institutional funding, ignoring these networks means accepting structural disadvantages.

Travis Chappell breaks down the limits of traditional personal finance advice in a solo episode, explaining why cutting expenses alone won't build real wealth—you need to aggressively increase your income to outpace inflation, unexpected life costs, and the dream of true financial freedom. On this episode we talk about: Why budgeting and saving hit a ceiling at zero expenses, but earning more income is unlimited and the real path to wealth. Life's endless surprises (roofs, transmissions, family emergencies, kids' activities) demand far more money than any budget predicts. Inflation's silent killer effect: $1.2M in 30 years from $100/month investing could spend like just $250K-$450K after real-world price doubling. The Rule of 72: S&P doubles every ~7 years at 10% returns, but 3% inflation doubles prices every 24 years (or faster in reality). Side hustles that scale (Uber, flipping, landscaping) + skill-building for 5X income jumps to hit your "freedom number" faster. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Double the nest egg you think you need—live off just 4-5% annually to preserve principal against inflation and longevity.2.  $200/month grows to ~$400K nominal in 30 years (10% returns), but inflation-adjusted it's ~$150K; bump to $1,200/month for $2.4M.3.  Acquire monetizable skills, knowledge, and relationships—recessions can't touch them, but they'll 5X your income trajectory. Notable Quotes "You will always need more money than you think you're going to need. Life has a way of demanding more from you than you expect." "The most delta you could ever create would be $80K a year... the only thing left is your ability to go earn more income." "Inflation is going to quietly murder your comfort, your nest egg." "If you extract the meaning from your life... eliminating work from your life is a fast path to dying sooner." "The only path to creating exponential increases in your earned income is through skills that you do not currently have."

What makes a small business attractive to buyers? In this episode, Bill Gallagher sits down with Phil Risher, founder of Flash Consulting, to unpack how service businesses can grow quickly and become attractive acquisition targets. Phil shares how he helped scale a home service company from $2.7M to $5M and sell it within two years by focusing on marketing systems, data, and repeatable customer acquisition. They explore why recurring revenue, strong margins, and systems that remove the owner from operations dramatically increase company value(05:47) You Don't Need a $10M Business to Sell*Many founders believe they must reach $10M in revenue before selling.*But smaller companies can still sell for strong valuations.*Bill shares an example of a company under $4M in revenue selling for around $21M.(18:20) Why Most Service Businesses Lose Leads*Many companies lose potential customers simply because they fail to follow up.*If someone fills out a form or calls but doesn't answer the first callback, the lead often disappears.*A simple system of texts, emails, and follow-up outreach dramatically improves conversion rates.(33:03) The “Key Person Risk” That Kills Business Sales*One of the biggest obstacles to selling a company is owner dependence.*If the owner is the primary salesperson or operator, buyers see risk.*Building a professional sales team and documented processes increases valuation.(36:50) Systems Turn a Job Into a Sellable Company*A business becomes valuable when it runs on systems instead of the founder.*Marketing, sales intake, follow-up, and operations must be documented.*When the owner steps back and the company still grows, buyers become interested.Thanks to Phil Risher for being on the show!Connect with Phil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philrisherLearn more about his work: https://phlashconsulting.com/about-phlash-consulting/Bill Gallagher, Scaling Coach and host of the Scaling Up Business podcast, is an international business coach who works with C-Suite leaders to achieve breakthrough growth.Join Bill in the Growth Navigator Coaching Program: https://ScalingCoach.com/workshopBill on LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/BillGallBill on YouTube: https://www.YouTube.com/@BillGallagherScalingCoachVisit https://ScalingUp.com to learn more about Verne Harnish, our team of Scaling Up Coaches, and the Scaling Up Performance Platform, which includes coaching, learning, software, and summit.

Most people fail their fitness goals for the same reason they fail in business. They chase massive results instead of mastering the small inputs that actually compound. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Greg O Gallagher, founder of KinoBody and one of the leading voices in lifestyle driven fitness. Greg explains why most people are not actually training, why progressive overload beats extreme workout plans, and how stacking small wins builds confidence, discipline, and real results. If you want a movie star physique, stronger mindset, and a system that actually works, this conversation will change how you approach fitness and success.Got a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?

Men's Basketball vs Illinois Starts at 0:51 Hail to the Big Ten champions... before March! Dusty in year two has won at Mackey, Breslin, and whatever Illinois' arena is nicknamed. This was supposed to be a scary game and it wasn't even close, the players loved the energy. The major bummer is that LJ Cason is out for the year with an ACL injury. Can Yaxel check a top five draft point guard? Yes. No turnovers for Cadeau! But he probably has to go from 26 minutes per game to 35 and needs to be much more careful about foul trouble now. It just felt like Illinois had to work so hard to get anything in the second half and they weren't used to that. Illinois played their much better defender for only 10 minutes. Shot volume was similar for both teams but Michigan was able to win from 2-point shots. 2. Men's Basketball vs Minnesota Starts at 25:20 Minnesota comes in with basically no basketball team, they're down on their luck. But they played zone better than a lot of teams on Michigan's schedule. In the first half Michigan had trouble getting to the rim so they kicked it out for open threes. Parts of it felt bad. This game felt like playing Maryland the week before Ohio State. Niko Medved did a great job with what he had, Brian is still high on him. Early in the season Iowa seemed like it would be a really tough game, now Iowa is tailspinning a little bit. Iowa's defense is improved from Fran but not in a way that will stop Michigan. Michigan is still probably a #1 seed if they lose out. They should raise the banner in Michigan State's face at pre-game.  3. Hot Takes and Hockey vs Minnesota Starts at 43:34 Takes hotter than Morez Johnson sitting in front of that crowd and being like "I don't care, I'm gonna be the Kenpom MVP in a 20 point win spiritually because I'm Morez Johnson and nothing phases me at all!" Michigan splits against Minnesota, which almost didn't matter until Michigan State only got two points against Ohio State. This team is a little too Jekyll & Hyde. Starting the Thursday game 1-9 in shots isn't great. Powerplays used to be more whizz-bang and they've been lacking lately. Michigan's defense is like Nebraska running the triple option - they always need to have a 5'2" puck wizard defenseman. MSU's coach tried to chase down an official on the ice which is a silly thing to attempt. Michigan is up two points in the standings but Michigan State has two more games. Time for another year of complaining about the NCAA hockey tournament format. 4. Stickball and Gimmicky Top Five Starts at 1:15:10 Baseball - good Softball - not good Gimmicky Top Five Things You'd Change in the Winter Olympics. Normal guy Olympics. Mountaineering should include getting a kid into ski gear. We don't talk about ski injuries. Winter beach volleyball?    MUSIC: "Don't Fight It"—Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry "Better Way"—Motenko "Take My Heart"—The Teskey Brothers “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Money Follows Speed: How Wendy (& Sean) Turned 34 Seller Contacts Into a New Absentee Owner Listing AND $1.1M Off Market Deal!Watch the full video replay: https://youtu.be/JkkiKtjJBCwIn this episode, the host shares a win from Wendy, a Listing Sprint participant who previously joined the inaugural Deal Sprint and followed a three-step blueprint: find a deal to use as bait, use it to reach out to buyers, and make offers on the bait or on other transactions for those buyers. Wendy reached out to 34 sellers while also attending Closers Cafe and was sourcing for a $1.4M buyer she had obtained through social posting or a networking group. From those 34, one response led to a neighbor planning to move, resulting in a call with the seller and a showing set for a likely $1.1M property. Wendy also contacted a prior client—a cash buyer with a duplex—leading Sean to meet him quickly and secure a listing expected to be signed for $350K, with the seller also mentioning openness to offers on a $3M home. The host emphasizes the mindset “money follows speed and time kills all deals,” encouraging immediate action when someone is ready to move. Additional context explains Wendy's approach of using a specific reason to reach out—off-market properties she and Sean had available—resulting in “no match, but landed the listing,” plus a $400K buyer consult scheduled around Easter. The episode reinforces that Lead Deck, the Deal Sprint, and the Listing Sprint are designed to drive activity so agents spend more time matching existing relationships and less time cold prospecting, with a reminder that business ebbs and flows may require returning to cold outreach. The host previews a potential next-month sprint focused on building a pipeline of senior owners to help members quickly rebuild an empty pipeline through a proven plan and strong implementation.The MOST POWERFUL Motivated Seller & Cash Buyer Software!

Men's Basketball vs Purdue Starts at 0:51 The Duke game was annoying and non-impactful so let's start with Purdue. Purdue comes out to a 5-0 start, Michigan then goes on a 42-17 run. Mackey exploded no matter what, even when Michigan was up 16. Matt Painter is a dude who respects ball. Mara foreshadowed the Duke game by getting into foul trouble, but that wasn't until the 2nd half, otherwise he had a great 1st half. The other subplot of this game was they shot 57% from three, and almost all of them were good shots. Trey Kauffmann-Renn went off for Purdue, historically May has let him go defensively though. Michigan is doing a great job of making the non-contestable guys contestable. What was funnier, the Fletcher Loyer heat-check airball or Cadeau getting to the free throw line and not knowing what to do?  2. Men's Basketball vs Duke Starts at 22:55 A very frustrating game. Mara picks up three first half fouls, the first two of which were not fouls. Playing three bigs in the second half felt like an impulse. Will Tschetter has been a faithful companion for this program but this wasn't the game for him. Duke went on their end of first half run when Michigan had their small lineup out there. Dusty is usually very calm but he was on the verge of eruption. The official in this game notoriously call more calls than anyone else and didn't give us a proper Michigan Duke game. You can just give the coach an iPad to decide if you want to challenge calls?? Does Mara need a little more self-confidence? His body language is telling. Michigan didn't get a lot out of guard play. Their quality of looks in this game were nowhere near their looks in the Purdue game. They got out of balance with their lineup changes and shot 24% from three but still only lost by five to Duke so this really isn't that concerning. What was that travel call? LJ Cason is definitely a contested shot guy. Michigan's biggest win over the weekend was UCLA over Illinois. The Minnesota game is for a share of the title, two Big Ten wins means an outright title. Brian still can't believe how good Keaton Wagler is.  3. Hot Takes and Hockey vs Wisconsin Starts at 55:40 Takes hotter than yours truly after Mara's second foul against Duke. Michigan gets a split out of Wisconsin which ends any hope of catching Michigan State in the Big Ten standings. Wisconsin played their backup goalie and Michigan didn't do enough to threaten him. Kason Muscutt got his first goal. BTN+ has announcers that don't even know Michigan's roster. Michigan could get to 51 points after next week which would win the Big Ten in most years. They have a 99.6% chance of being a #1 seed, they would need to win the Big Ten Tournament to get the #1 overall. #2 overall could get Saint Thomas?  4. Potpourri Starts at 1:24:57 Hughe's got it better than us? Michigan shouldn't claim Jack Hughes. Great performances from Michigan hockey players in the Olympics and the gold medal game. Michigan doesn't have these guys on this team (Michigan State doesn't either, though). Canada was sad and then got handed a stuffed stoat. If you haven't seen the figure skating exhibition gala, you should. Michigan has a new general manager. Sean Magee sent Savion Hiter the wrong dollar amount for his NIL?? The new GM is Dave Peloquin who used to work at Notre Dame. Michigan baseball got another ranked win over Louisville. The vibes for Michigan softball aren't good right now. They're like Nebraska football.  MUSIC: "UFOs"—Phoenix and Alan Braxe "Evil Twin"—Cut Worms "Dug"—Dream Sitch, Michael Nau, Floating Action “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra   

Atomic Eagle offers a compelling entry into the uranium bull market, backed by a proven team from Matador Capital—the original architects behind Boss Energy's success and Lotus Resources' recent mine restart. Through a strategic RTO of GovEx Uranium, they've acquired the advanced Muntanga project in mining-friendly Zambia: a 47.4M lb resource at 344 ppm U3O8, with a feasibility study showing robust economics at $90/lb uranium. But the current investment thesis is not that of a mine build story. Atomic Eagle's focus is on aggressive exploration to double resources via a current 50,000m drill program, targeting a 40-100M lb upside which conceptually could see a mega-mine producing 4-5M lbs/year through low-cost heap leaching (90%+ recovery with low acid consumption). Well-funded with ~A$20M cash, Atomic is undervalued when compared, on an enterprise value to pounds-in-the-ground basis, to ASX peers like Deep Yellow and Bannerman. Near-term catalysts: Resource upgrade (early March), feasibility re-release, and exploration drill results. Bonus optionality: Potential recovery of the world-class Madaouela asset in Niger (120M lbs at >1,300 ppm), if current talks with the Niger government are fruitful. In this MSE episode, listen to Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins explain the company's full investment thesis. https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF 00:00 Intro 00:34 Meet Atomic Eagle: ASX RTO of GoviEx & Who's Behind It 01:28 Matador's Uranium Track Record: Boss Energy to Lotus Restart Success 03:12 Why the GoviEx Deal Happened: ASX Valuation Comps & Timing 04:31 US OTCQB Listing: Tapping North American Uranium Investors 06:05 Friedland Connections & Geopolitics: US/China/Russia in Africa 08:26 The Muntanga Project Breakdown: Resource, Tenure & 2025 FS Context 10:08 Growth Strategy: New Drilling, Resource Upgrade & 4–5M lb/yr Heap Leach Concept 12:32 Funding & 2025 Drill Plan: 50,000m Program and Priority Targets 14:15 Zambia Advantage: Mining-Friendly Jurisdiction, Infrastructure & Export Route 17:12 The Niger Asset: Expropriation, Arbitration & Potential Upside 19:27 Near-Term Catalysts + Technical Upsides: Recovery, Acid Use, Permitting 21:42 Wrap-Up, Tickers, and Sponsor Coverage Ahead Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Alabama Athletics is bringing in $147 million in operating revenue and spending $82 million—yet the Tide still feels behind in NIL compared to programs like Texas, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, and Texas Tech. In this episode, we break down the numbers, the priorities, and why some fans believe Greg Byrne must make tough decisions before Alabama loses its edge in college football. We dig into where the money comes from—ticket sales ($42M), contributions ($53M), media rights ($28M), postseason ($13M)—and where it goes—head coach ($11M), assistants ($14M+), support staff ($7M), facilities ($7.5M), game expenses ($7.5M+), recruiting ($4M+). Then we get into the biggest debate: Title IX in a new era of NIL and potential revenue-sharing, including the idea of Alabama having $20.5 million to “play with” under a new model. The conversation gets heated when we look at the losses across non-revenue sports—women's basketball (nearly -$5M), gymnastics (-$2M+), baseball (-$4.4M+), plus eye-opening spending gaps like women's rowing and women's track & field. One side argues these sports must become more financially responsible; the other side warns the real issue is simple: if Alabama won't spend at a championship NIL level, Bama risks falling behind. One host puts a number on it: to truly compete with the top spenders, Alabama may need $50M roster-level investment—or the Tide won't be able to retain elite talent and keep winning titles. Do you think Alabama is spending enough to win championships in the NIL era? Drop your take in the comments.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Selling feels hard when you think your job is to convince people. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Myron Golden, sales expert, business coach, and stage speaker known for helping entrepreneurs produce multi million dollar results, to talk about why persuasion and convincing are not the same thing. Myron shares how he went 18 months without making a single sale before learning how identity, belief systems, and service change everything in the sales process.

Dear Humans, Today on The God Show, we watched the interview Trump and CBS didn't want you to see. CBS blocked Colbert from airing his James Talarico interview, so Colbert posted it online instead. And it immediately backfired. Here's the part that matters. The clips from the "FCC-censored" Tallarico interview started pulling views like a runaway train: YouTube 1.3M, Instagram 1.6M, TikTok 2.4M, Twitter 5.1M. For context, Colbert's show averages 2.3 million viewers on linear TV. What a bunch of morons! They tried to shrink the message and accidentally turned it into a megaphone. We also covered: The DOJ/Epstein material you're being told to "move on" from, and why that demand is the tell Fox trying to sanitize Epstein as a harmless "party guy" and why that's the moral bottom of the barrel Blessings & Smites, including Bruce Springsteen, Jesse Jackson, and a long list of people who deserve none of our patience They can throttle the feed, they can threaten the networks, they can demand we "move on," but they can't make us forget what we've learned, and they can't stop us from telling the truth out loud. Love, God

Men's Basketball vs UCLA Starts at 0:51 Brian gets three minutes to talk about Mick Cronin, he hopes he never gets fired from UCLA. He's like a jolly caricature of Izzo. He's Sideshow Bob stepping on the rakes. Michigan would be up by 10 in the first half and it would feel like they should be up 20. Tschetter's really improved as a defender but this game wasn't for him. UCLA was turning the ball over a ton, Michigan didn't have any until the end of the first half. This was a responsible game from Cadeau, some of his turnovers have been boneheaded. He's at around the same turnover rate as last year. LJ Cason is becoming a reliably effective playmaker. Mick Cronin might not have forgotten how to coach defense but he might've forgotten to scout Xavier Booker. If they play a bad game that means only winning by 10.  2. Men's Basketball vs Northwestern Starts at 28:10 Similar situation in this game where Michigan played a dominant second half. The difference is they were down 16 points. Kenpom still had them at about 30% chance to win even down 16 in the second half! Michigan missed so many bunnies in this one. They started running NBA sets in their second half rally and that works because they have the size for it. The big story of this game was LJ Cason. Cadeau wasn't doing anything so Dusty put in Cason who stepped up. Who's the most random guy you've ever been thankful for in a game? Probably Kam Chatman. Michigan is rotating nine guys and the ninth guy was the MVP in this game. The six game stretch to finish the regular season features Michigan State as the second easiest game. Alex isn't scared of Purdue. Duke looms.  3. Hot Takes and Hockey vs Penn State Starts at 55:44 Takes hotter than the genius that came up with the two-man luge. Special guest, Seth daughter's Mira. Michigan takes 5 out of 6 points against Penn State, this was their first overtime that they didn't win this year. Michigan made it hard on themselves in the Friday game, Ivankovic sort of deflected a goal into their own net. These officials were fine because they degraded the game of hockey but they weren't as bad as some other guys! Penn State split their goalies but the better goalie gave Michigan a couple easy ones. Michigan has first round picks but the only one that has the sauce is Jayden Perron. You look at men's basketball and you think they could win a national championship. You look at hockey and you don't see it. Wisconsin has faded enough to not make the tournament but their forecheck also seemed like Michigan's kryptonite. If you want to win the conference you need six points against Wisconsin. You might need to win out. Michigan is still 96% to be a 1 seed.  4. Potpourri Starts at 1:38:22 Michigan replaces defensive tackle coach Lou Esposito with Larry Black out of Vanderbilt. He checks the recruiting boxes. He helped get Vanderbilt to respectable on defense which even Jesse Minter couldn't do. His resume is really good and still isn't as good a resume as the rest of the staff (complimentary). Women's basketball fell behind big to UCLA and got it to within one score. They're so close to the elite teams. Stickball! As of this recording baseball is 2-0 against good programs. USC and UCLA baseball hate being in the Big Ten. Softball is 7-2 overall, Alex was down after the Florida game. If you have six pitchers on the roster you have no pitchers. Brian has only watched curling. Olympic skiing discourse. Sweden pulled their goalie while up 5-2 to get the goal differential (did not get it).  MUSIC: "Idol"—Mind Enterprises "YUHDONTSTOP"—De La Soul "Brand New City"—Snocaps “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra   

Don't miss this special 3-year anniversary of 'Catching Up to FI' as Bill marks the moment by doing something he's been helping everyone else do for years: officially 'coming out' as financially independent (FI)! It is hard to believe that the show has been around for 3 years, 196 episodes, 20k Facebook Community members, 1.4M audio downloads and 300k views on YouTube. Is this real?   Today we celebrate Bill's journey from Episode #1: 'A Boat Named Yolo', to officially reaching FI, but feels more like the 'The Fog of FI'. During this interview, Jackie gets Bill to open up and vulnerably share details of his wake-up call at 50: burned out, sued, house-poor after a disastrous renovation and de-risking at the bottom of the Great Recession, and still living paycheck to paycheck despite a 'rich doctor' income. He walks through discovering FI via blogs and books, taking a full year to reclaim his money from private bankers and whole life policies (he's naming names!). Bill's real superpower was boosting his savings rate up to ~40% in his early 50s using Mr. Money Mustache's 'shockingly simple math' to accept a 10 to 15-year timeline.   Fast-forward to 60 and a retirement-readiness check with a flat-fee, advice-only planner: after three years of expense tracking in Monarch Money, a comprehensive plan, and stress-testing with risk-parity portfolios, Bill gets the verdict every late starter dreams of, 'you could retire tomorrow'— and feels weirdly flat. We also dig into the emotional side: the identity crisis of possibly leaving medicine, using newfound leverage to negotiate work on his own terms, the choice to glide out over several years instead of cliff-retiring, and the shift from building wealth to giving with warm hands, mentoring younger docs, and helping his adult sons lay foundations he never had.   We close with Bill's hard-earned advice:  ➡️ Reverse-engineer your life from your tombstone ➡️ Focus on health span as fiercely as net worth ➡️ Stop over-identifying with your job or your number ➡️ Remember that for late starters, the real win is feeling less alone while you build a life you won't regret.   ====================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS:   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

Men's Basketball vs Penn State and Ohio State Starts at 0:51 Usually there's a segment for each basketball but that would just be silly. Michigan annihilates a short-handed Penn State team featuring two thunderous Mark Davis Kiwi dunks and a season high from Nimari Burnett. Is there anything else to say about this game? Michigan only had eight turnovers against Ohio State. Oddly they missed a lot of bunnies. Michigan is rounding into the elite offensive and defensive rebounding team we were hoping they would be. Nice to see Yaxel get to the rim, he doesn't do it enough. Another nice game from Trey McKenney. The balance of this team is insane. We're looking forward to what Mick Cronin says after Aday Mara stuffs him in a locker. A few more easy games before a brutal close to the season. Michigan State did Michigan a solid by beating Illinois.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hockey vs Michigan State Starts at 25:16 Game one was one of the best college hockey games we've ever seen. Old Yost was dark and full of discontented engineers who just learned to swear. It was absolute hell for opponents and it's just not that anymore in most games. Friday night felt like Old Yost. Michigan played great when they had their backs against the wall but you can't just rally from down 4-0. Michigan could be the second best team in the country and still just not be as good as State. Michigan's 4th string goalie looks just like Ivankovic and confused Dave in the press box. Why was Ivankovic suddenly ready on Saturday? Yost got HOT in the third period on Friday because of the missed calls. Michigan can still absolutely win a regular season title. Biggest concern in the NCAA tournament is also Michigan State, but the college hockey playoffs are weird. Has the modern era of college football reached hockey?  3. Hot Takes and Offensive Recruiting Class With Steve Lorenz Starts at 53:24 Takes hotter than Brian's face watching Seth come up with something that's hot. Usually we would do this on signing day but now nobody can remember when that is. Salesi Moa signed and enrolled at Utah and still ended up at Michigan. Brady Smigiel is one of your QBs but he's coming in injured, which probably effected his recruiting stock. He's a classic pocket guy, but Whittingham likes mobile QBs. QB Tommy Carr has Tate Forcier comparisons. Savion Hiter comes in as the most talented running back in this class, as well as the last few classes. What do you think Fred Jackson would call him? Jonathan Brown comes in as a generic three star RB but there's not much being said compared to Hiter. We'll count Salesi Moa in this class, he could play receiver and safety. He might actually be able to contribute in year one. WR Travis Johnson is just outside the top 100 but was very adamant about sticking to Michigan even after everything went down. WR Jaylen Pile also didn't waver but so far seems like just a guy, but with more scholarships available sure, bring him in. TE Mason Bonner comes in from Denver, might take a little time to develop. Should be athletic enough down the road. OT Malakai Lee comes in from Honolulu and might be the most excited about the coaching change. Comparisons to Mike Onwenu. Marky Walbridge is a late riser and offensive lineman late risers are often encouraging. Adrian Hamilton projects to center and centers don't rank highly usually. Tommy Fraumann is big enough to not care about rankings, born right after the 2008 Michigan Utah in which Kyle Whittingham beat Michigan.  4. Defensive Recruiting Class Starts at 1:45:41 Carter Meadows is a five star defensive end we're all excited about. He's not allowed to enroll early so he'll probably be a year two star. DE McHale Blade is one of the coolest names in this cycle. He has all the athletic traits, could be the sleeper of the defensive side. DE Tariq Boney is your Josh Uche, just let him go after the QB. Alister Vallejo looks like Mason Graham on the field and the kid from the Sandlot in his profile. DT Titan Davis is a Kris Jenkins guy, could be an anchor DE but will more likely fill in DT needs. Linebacker is where the excitement falls off. Nobody is anywhere near four star status. CB Jamarion Vincent is a developmental guy, expect him in year three. He was previously playing QB. CB Ernest Nunley is a former Cal commit and will probably be a safety. S Jordan Deck could me a sleeper, boring safety. Overall not a big fan of the back seven but it is the transfer portal era. It could be okay but it's sketchy.   MUSIC: "Bazooka"—Miami XO "Baby Steps"—Olivia Dean "Phish Pepsi"—Wednesday “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra
