Tilbage er kun en sanger med en computerfil - og måske et par dansere.Derfor var det forfriskende at møde danske Ki! på årets Roskilde Festival. Bandet er et one-man band.

Wang shares the evolution of his LinkedIn presence, from posting blog links in 2016 to becoming an early participant in LinkedIn's Creator Program and Accelerator. With over 18,000 followers and millions of video views, he explains how short-form, vertical video has become his secret weapon for visibility and engagement. While Wang utilizes AI tools to aid in brainstorming and structuring posts, he cautions against relying too heavily on them, emphasizing the need to infuse personal voice and storytelling to avoid generic content. He emphasizes the importance of consistency, storytelling, and humanizing content, often filming candid 60-second tips in real-life settings, such as track meets or beach vacations. Throughout the conversation, Wang underscores the opportunity LinkedIn presents for advisors: fewer than 1% of users post weekly, creating a powerful opening for those who do. His advice to peers is clear: be yourself, show up consistently, and let your content do the connecting. Learn more about Andy Wang and Runnymede Capital Management at Runnymede.com

We're excited to bring you a special cross-over episode from our friends at the 'Think Fast, Talk Smart' podcast. Host Matt Abrahams joined us and recorded this live session at the Stanford Seed Transformation Network Summit in Cape Town, exploring the authentic communication strategies that every entrepreneur needs to master.Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three Stanford Graduate School of Business professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever feel like your toy or game idea is too niche or catch yourself wondering if you've really got what it takes to break into the industry? Maybe you've been sitting on a killer concept, or you're already knee-deep in prototypes and second guesses.In this episode of Making It in the Toy Industry, I'm chatting with TCA alum and current Accelerator student Manish Punani, who proves that with the right guidance and a whole lot of passion, even the most unexpected game themes can find their place in the market. Manish shares his journey from working in merchandising to launching Cricket or Nothing, a suspense-filled, strategy card game that turns the classic sport of cricket into a brainy, poker-like duel. You'll hear why he walked away from his first concept and instead went all in on cricket. We talk about what it really takes to prepare for a Kickstarter campaign and how you can start laying the groundwork now. You'll also hear why tapping into passionate cultural communities is a genius launch, and how TCA coaching helped Manish see both his idea and his audience in a brand new light.This episode gives you a glimpse of what it really looks like to build a game from the ground up while learning, pivoting, and connecting with the right people along the way.If you want to be a part of Toy Creators Academy and get the opportunity to join the Accelerator as a graduate, visit toycreatorsacademy.com today.Listen for these Important Moments![00:06:08] - Find out why Manish scrapped his original game concept and how trusting feedback can lead to a better product fit.[00:11:11] - Discover how this game turns cricket into a mind-game-packed, poker-style showdown that grabs attention even from non-cricket fans.[00:09:19] - Hear how Manish realized licensing wasn't the only option and why launching it himself became the smarter move.[00:20:19] - Learn why marketing to fans who already love your theme (like cricket) is the fastest way to build a loyal audience.[00:27:06] - Get practical tips on how to use low-cost ads and landing pages to grow a ready-to-buy audience for your launch.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!Support the showPopular Masterclass!

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Dr. Jacob Goodin - https://www.drjacobgoodin.com/cscs-acceleratorEver feel overwhelmed by energy systems, wondering why your clients need to know about ATP or glycolysis? Dr. Jacob Goodin cuts through the complexity to reveal how bioenergetics knowledge transforms your coaching from guesswork to precision-guided results.The conversation begins with a clear breakdown of our three energy systems: the phosphagen system (lightning-fast but brief), glycolytic system (moderate speed and capacity), and oxidative system (slow but virtually unlimited). Dr. Goodin explains how these systems work in concert—not isolation—to fuel everything from explosive jumps to marathon runs. What makes this discussion particularly valuable is how he translates complex physiology into practical coaching insights.Perhaps most eye-opening is the myth-busting around the "fat burning zone." While lower-intensity exercise does use a higher percentage of fat for fuel, Goodin clarifies why this approach isn't optimal for fat loss: "The most time efficient way to lose fat is to build muscle and do higher intensity exercise." This single insight could transform how you approach conditioning for weight management clients.The podcast delivers golden nuggets about programming structure, explaining why putting cardio at the beginning of a workout compromises force production and hypertrophy gains. We learn why power and skill work should come first, strength second, accessory movements third, and conditioning last—a sequence backed by physiology rather than tradition.What separates this conversation from typical fitness content is its balance between science and application. Goodin doesn't just explain what happens in the Krebs cycle; he shows how understanding these processes helps you design better work-to-rest ratios, choose appropriate modalities for different clients, and create training sessions that satisfy clients while delivering results.ReaWant to ask us a question?

With 25 years of experience rising through the ranks—from applicator to the top seat—Nick shares a raw, honest look at leadership, culture, and the role of faith and humility in his journey. This episode is packed with wisdom on creating high-trust organizations, empowering local leadership, navigating talent challenges, and leveraging technology in modern agribusiness.Key Takeaways:Leading with Core ValuesNick defines intentional leadership as living true to your values—trust, integrity, honoring your name, and doing what you say you'll do. These values guide both his personal and professional life.Culture Is Local and People-FirstCVA emphasizes enabling local leaders to make meaningful decisions. With a massive geographic footprint, the company empowers location managers with hiring, operations, and P&L ownership—building trust and adaptability into the culture.Transparent Leadership Drives LoyaltyNick shares how transparency and regular, honest conversations with employees have become a critical differentiator for CVA in talent retention—especially in rural communities.From Failure to FeedbackNick opens up about strategy missteps and how CVA's culture gave him the confidence to take risks, fail, and grow. He stresses the importance of owning failures and using them to build better systems.Technology as an Accelerator, Not a ReplacementRather than replacing people, Nick sees AI and automation as tools that shift job duties and elevate human potential. Leaders who embrace tech will outperform in tomorrow's agribusiness landscape.Sharpen Your AxeNick closes with a powerful reminder that leaders must pause to recharge—whether it's reading scripture, spending time with family, or simply stepping back to gain perspective. “Sharpen your axe” to keep leading with excellence.Notable Quotes:"You enter this world with your name, and you leave with your legacy. That's what matters." – Nicholas McCarthy "Culture isn't a poster on the wall—it's how people show up to work every day." – Mark Jewell "50% of your competition is eliminated by effort alone. Just showing up makes you stand out." – Nicholas McCarthy "Don't be afraid to fail. But when you do, own it, and use it to build something better." – Nicholas McCarthy "When I go home to eat lunch, I sharpen my axe." – Nicholas McCarthyAction Steps:Revisit your core values and ask: Am I living and leading by them daily?Schedule bi-weekly 1:1s with your team to foster real, human connection.Identify one job function that could be enhanced or streamlined with technology.Take 30 minutes this week to “sharpen your axe”—read, reflect, or recharge.Share this episode with a teammate who needs encouragement on their leadership path.Listen If You Are:A leader navigating organizational change or successionA rural-based business struggling with talent attraction and retentionCurious about AI's role in agribusinessLooking for a practical example of value-driven leadershipA fan of leadership rooted in humility, family, and faith

The James Sarcoma Program continues to grow, with the recent opening of the multidisciplinary Sarcoma Clinic, new and cutting-edge clinical trials and a project in Ecuador to train doctors to treat sarcoma patients. “The entire continuum of cancer care is improving and that's why it's important to have a multi-disciplinary team and clinic, so patients have access to all these advances,” said Joel Mayerson, MD, director of the James Sarcoma Program. Mayerson described the recent advances made by the Sarcoma Program. A renowned sarcoma surgeon, in recent years Mayerson has been utilizing 3D printing to create replacement “bones” for sarcoma patients. “We can take scans and create [with the 3D printer] ‘bones' the exact size of what we remove.” In a new clinical trial “we've found that if we give immunotherapy concurrently with radiation therapy it helps the radiation works better,” Mayerson said, adding “we have the first proton radiation center in Ohio and that allows us to hone the beam to a smaller area and damages less tissue.” Mayerson and the sarcoma team have been collaborating with the world-class veterinarians at Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center to create a probe that allows surgeons to see, in real time during surgery, the difference between normal tissue and tumorous tissue. Seeing the difference enables surgeons to remove less normal tissue, which leads to better function and quality of life for patients. “We used pilot data funded by Steps for Sarcoma to apply for and receive an Ohio State President's Accelerator grant,” Mayerson said. Steps for Sarcoma is the annual fundraising walk; the next Steps will be held September 21. After operating on a patient from Ecuador, Mayerson and the sarcoma team “were asked to help build the program there,” he said. An Ecuadorian surgeon spent a year at the James working with Mayerson and his team, additional physicians will be trained and “our sarcoma tumor board helps guide them in treating their sarcoma patients … This has been one of the most satisfying things I've done in my career, to know that we're impacting patients a couple thousand miles away.”

What if you could take the most chaotic thing in your life and turn it into something that actually creates peace in your home? This month in the Family Teams Accelerator, we're talking about how to use this one unexpected tool usually found in the most boring parts of a business, to turn chaos into clarity at home. That tool? Standar Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is how you train your kids to do what you want them to do. It's how you lead them into actually rising to the level of high expectations. It's how you take the chaos and uncertainty out of teaching them how to behave and how to perform the tasks you want them to perform. And it's way simpler than you think (otherwise there's no way we'd do it!). In this episode Jeremy sits down with Blake and Chandler Smith, next month's community coaches inside the Accelerator, to give you a taste of what's to come.
