“Organizational culture doesn't come from words on the wall, but culture depends on what gets rewarded, what gets tolerated, and what gets quietly punished when nobody is watching the wall.” In this solo episode, Meg Rentschler explores why organizations often act against their stated values when under pressure. Meg defines culture through practices that are modeled and measured, offering coaches five diagnostic questions closely related to the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. She shares a client story, along with a “Say-Do Audit” tool to identify whether company values are genuinely lived or simply fiction. Join us to learn more!Show Highlights:A working definition of culture that makes senseSee the gap and close the gap. Five questions and how they match with the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership:“What happened the last time someone on this team disagreed with a decision publicly?” (This aligns with “Enable others to ask questions.”)“What's something everyone on this team knows is true, but no one says aloud?” (This exposes the “Model the way” failure.)“Regarding the last person promoted here, what behavior got them promoted?” (This is a “Challenge the process” question in disguise.)“When was the last time this team missed a deadline or made a mistake? What happened next?” (This tests the “Encourage the heart” practice.)“If a brand new employee shadowed this team for one week, what would they conclude actually matters here?” (This is an “Inspire to shared vision” check.)Client examples from Meg about innovation vs. compliance“Your highest value in organizational culture work is not as a mural painter but as a mirror.”How to use the “Say-Do Audit” of an organization's stated valuesThe key is to let the team recognize and sit with the gap before moving to action.

Mentioned in this episode:Mentor ProgramIf you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show.

The expanded playoff has allowed 20 different teams to make it to a 12-team College Football Playoff over the last 2 years but which programs are most likely to make it to their first appearance this season? Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt tackles that question as he ranks his favorite candidates including teams that made the 4-team Playoff but have yet to make it into the 12-team format like Michigan and LSU as well as programs like USC still looking to make it back to the top of the sport. He also brings in teams from the Big 12 that will have a path to the Playoff like BYU and Arizona and an ACC team that could sneak their way into a win-and-in ACC Championship Game appearance.

In this college football podcast episode, we finish our three-part preview of the ACC by turning our attention to the defending conference champions and several of the league’s most difficult teams to project. Can Duke keep finding ways to win after another major quarterback change? Does Clemson have a real plan for getting back into the College Football Playoff conversation? And can Louisville once again rebuild its offense around a new transfer quarterback without losing ground near the top of the conference? We also dig into James Franklin’s full-scale reboot at Virginia Tech, Ty’s increasingly dangerous belief in NC State, and a pivotal season for Brent Key at Georgia Tech. With new quarterbacks, rebuilt offensive lines, coordinator changes and transfer portal additions everywhere, how much confidence should we place in recognizable coaches and favorable schedules? Plus, we examine why Cal could become one of the most entertaining teams in college football, whether Syracuse can recover with Steve Angeli back under center, and what Bill O’Brien can realistically build at Boston College. Elsewhere, Dan experiments with performance-enhancing inhalers, Ty launches Bros for Brohm, the Calgorithm gains strength, and we issue another annual warning about hiring Ted Roof.

On this episode of the ROCPOD, The State of the U's Cam Underwood and The Beast recap the Canes trip to Charlotte and ACC Media Days. Let's just say they were the popular attraction. We have noticed that Mario Cristobal has been making sure to mention his change in philosophy regarding the Canes QB position. What does this mean for the future of the position? We love Mark Fletcher. Who Doesn't? Fans of other teams need to get over the jealousy of Miami's abilities in the transfer portal. If they are so bothered by how much Miami spends on NIL, maybe they should open up their own wallets. The ACC has decided they don't want another five-loss team winning the conference title. They changed the tie-breaking rules. We applaud them. Please go check out all of the great work that Cam and his staff do at State Of The U! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The guys also discuss Lionel Messi's incredible World Cup run at age 39 and how his success continues to elevate both Inter Miami and soccer's popularity in South Florida. The conversation shifts to the NBA, where the Heat officially introduced Giannis Antetokounmpo and Pat Riley fueled even more LeBron James speculation by hinting at Miami's pursuit. Joe explains why he still believes LeBron can play at an elite level, questions why some Heat fans don't want him back, and discusses Klay Thompson as another potential fit for Miami. Later, ESPN college football analyst Tom Luginbill joins the show to explain why the Hurricanes are the team to beat in the ACC, discuss the future of the College Football Playoff, conference realignment, and how Mario Cristobal has built Miami into a national contender through recruiting

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 ACC preview with conversations about eight conference teams and Notre Dame. Is this finally the year Miami turns its loaded roster into its first conference championship? How high is the ceiling for an Irish squad with College Football Playoff expectations, a Heisman candidate at quarterback, and more talent than ever? We also examine whether SMU is ready to take another step under Rhett Lashlee, whether Virginia can build on last season’s breakthrough with defense and small ball, and whether Pitt can turn another fast start into something more sustainable. Florida State enters a defining seventh season under Mike Norvell, while North Carolina begins Year 2 of the Bill Belichick experiment with Bobby Petrino running the offense. Wake Forest remains dangerous, strange and difficult to play, while Stanford begins a patient rebuild under Tavita Pritchard. Plus: The Davis Warren Commission, Mid-Atlantic Hawkeyes, quarterback passport stamps, an unexpected amount of Train trivia, HGTV renovation metaphors, and an important reminder to wash your produce.
