Diaz Aguilar grew up in Compton California raised by a single mother who struggled with addiction — and when the streets filled the gap the Vice Lords became his family. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares how a trip to Chicago pulled him into the Vice Lords, how a trip to Mississippi ended with a manslaughter charge for something he says he did not do, and what losing at trial and being sentenced to 20 years in Mississippi's most brutal maximum security prison actually felt like for a Vice Lord from Compton who knew he was innocent. He opens up about the prison politics inside Mississippi's worst facility, what life as a Vice Lord inside those walls actually required of him, and what 22 years of wrongful incarceration really does to a person before they find a way to keep going. _____________________________________________ #wrongfulconviction #TrueCrime #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Diaz Aguilar:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diaz_santiago_55?igsh=MTZvMWkxM2U4MDB6dA== _____________________________________________ Buy his book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZYDGM5J?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_apan_dp_Y0MGDT0AZRAAQKJ14QC9&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_apan_dp_Y0MGDT0AZRAAQKJ14QC9&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_apan_dp_Y0MGDT0AZRAAQKJ14QC9&bestFormat=true&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaccY68BMUhqLOhGfqVyG5b0jFGHckUvPBwgIetA_Sm_iCFscImzCEQEJWavmA_aem_mhRhsWedJChoBH70P-GvTA&utm_content=link_in_bio&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ig ____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Diaz Aguilar's Story 00:18 Growing Up in Compton 01:41 Mother's Addiction & Early Hardships 03:59 Friendships & Finding Family 05:04 Reflections on Mother-Son Relationship 07:36 Childhood Trouble & Gang Influence 09:01 Neighborhood Gangs and Associations 10:03 Joining the Vice Lords 13:13 Gang Symbolism & Identity 14:55 Dreams, Aspirations, and Early Outlook 16:18 School Life and Influential Teacher 17:52 Writing Inspiration & Starting a Book 21:02 Adoption, Family Changes & Moving to Mississippi 25:31 Troubled Adoption and Feeling Isolated 28:44 Mississippi: New Beginnings and Trouble 31:31 The Incident: Manslaughter Charge 38:12 Court, Trial, and Sentencing 43:03 Life in Mississippi State Penitentiary 50:12 Gang Dynamics and Prison Politics 01:00:19 Economics of Prison: Protection and Extortion 01:08:45 Adapting and Surviving in Prison 01:13:15 Solitary Confinement and Mental Health 01:17:51 Struggles for Justice & Maintaining Innocence 01:23:00 Life After Release: Reentry Challenges 01:24:47 Relationships, Intimacy & PTSD  01:26:34 Making Peace and Coping with Trauma 01:33:32 Thoughts on Gang Life Now 01:34:12 Wisdom Gained: Reflections on Life 01:35:50 Life Today: Work, Books & New Beginnings 01:38:40 Closing Thoughts & Farewell _____________________________________________  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Welcome to HALO Talks, where we take deep dives into the minds behind the most dynamic brands in the health, active lifestyle, and outdoors space. In this episode, we're joined by Tony Scrimale, CEO of CR Fitness and a true industry operator whose path took him from upstate New York to the heart of Florida's gym scene. Starting as a young gym enthusiast, Tony's grass-roots experience paved the way for an entrepreneurial ride . . . moving from walking the floor early on, to eventually leading a powerhouse Crunch franchise group with over 100 locations. Tony opens up about the value of hands-on leadership, the importance of ownership mentality at every level, and what it takes to scale through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We'll hear his candid thoughts on private equity partnerships, building resilient teams, and staying true to your brand identity in the face of rapid evolution. Plus, Tony shares his excitement about tackling hyper-competitive markets like Phoenix, rebranding Crunch for the next era, and why surrounding yourself with sharp, experienced minds is his secret weapon for success. If you're passionate about scaling operations, navigating deal flows, learning what's involved when private equity jumps in, and more, this one is a must-listen.  When it comes to brand identity versus just pure imitation, Scrimale says, "Just because everybody else has something doesn't mean that we have to have it too. What does Crunch identify themselves at? We don't have to have everything, but the stuff that we do have, I wanna be great at!" Key themes discussed Ownership mentality and hands-on leadership Transition from athlete to fitness entrepreneur Relationship-driven vs. volume-based gym models Scaling through private equity and acquisitions Importance of team and infrastructure in growth Staying true to brand identity and focus Adapting to evolving industry and new markets A Few Key Takeaways 1. Ownership Mentality at Every Level: Tony emphasized the importance of developing an "ownership mentality" regardless of your title or role. He highlighted that truly successful operators treat every inch of the business as their responsibility, from picking up trash in the parking lot to ensuring excellence in customer service. This mindset is essential not only for operational excellence but also for anyone aspiring to run or own a facility one day 09:43. 2. Scaling with Private Equity-Plan, Don't Just Grow: The conversation touched on the nuanced impact of bringing in private equity. While access to capital accelerates growth and reduces personal financial risk, Tony pointed out that maintaining a healthy balance between rapid expansion and operational capability is critical. He advised not to sacrifice infrastructure or culture for the sake of speed, warning against reckless acquisitions that don't align with the company's strengths or market strategy 17:46, 18:08. 3. Stick to Your Brand Identity & Don't Chase Every Trend: Scrimale explained how the temptation to mimic competitors or pursue every new trend can dilute a company's purpose and effectiveness. He stressed the importance of knowing what your brand stands for and investing in being the best at core competencies, rather than trying to be all things to all people, 22:33. 4. The Evolution of Health Clubs: From Personal to HVLP 3.0: Reflecting on industry changes, Tony described a shift from high-touch, relationship-driven gyms to high-volume, low-price models (HVLP), and now towards hybrid models with enhanced amenities. Success in a competitive environment, especially with sophisticated brands like Crunch, depends on the team's ability to quickly establish trust and differentiate through both service and offerings despite significantly less member interaction time 13:01, 15:06. 5. Choosing the Right Brand and Partners Fuels Growth: Tony highlighted how alignment between personal passion and brand identity fuels authentic leadership and better business performance. He also underscored the importance of selecting equity partners who support, rather than stifle, the vision and culture, citing positive experiences with North Castle and Sixth Street, who empower the management team rather than impose dramatic change 28:42. For B2B executives and investors in the HALO sector, Tony's journey underscores the value of ground-up experience, maintaining focus in the face of rapid growth, and the critical role of both internal culture and external partners in scaling success.  Resources: Tony Scrimale: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-scrimale-54a44941  Crunch: https://www.crunch.com  Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: https://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: https://www.higherdose.com

Trust me, squatting by the lamppost while your dog sniffs every blade of grass is a sight to behold!But this episode isn't just about my doggie workouts; we're diving deep into how to adapt to change in our lives.I'll share three golden nuggets: First, let's shift our mindset and embrace that change is just part of the ride. Second, we'll explore how to creatively leverage our time and resources – can your housework double as a workout?Spoiler: yes! And third, we'll tap into that magical gift of intuition. Sometimes, it's our gut that knows best, especially when logic starts leading us in circles.So, whether you're in the midst of a life transition or just trying to figure out how to fit in a workout, join me for a fun-filled chat on how to keep choosing happiness amidst the chaos!Chapters:00:05 - Starting a New Fitness Journey02:50 - Adapting to Change: Strategies for Resilience06:18 - Incorporating Exercise into Daily Life09:11 - The Role of Intuition in Navigating Change12:19 - Embracing Intuition and CreativityTakeaways:Adapting to change is essential, and often requires us to shift our mindset and focus on what we can control, rather than resisting change.Combining tasks creatively can save time and boost motivation, like exercising while walking the dog – multitasking for the win!Using our intuition can be a powerful guide when facing uncertainty, allowing us to make quicker, more effective decisions.Recognising the gifts of our unconscious mind can open up new paths and opportunities, especially in times of rapid change and uncertainty.When faced with challenges, it's a good idea to ask ourselves: what can we learn from this situation, rather than dwelling on what we've lost?Flexibility and creativity in problem-solving can lead to unexpected solutions, so let's embrace the chaos and find the fun in adapting!Podcast Details and LinksHeather MastersCopyright 2026 Heather MastersIf you are enjoying the podcast and would like to donate you can do so here: (Thank you in advance)Support this Podcastwww.choosinghappypodcast.comSubscribe & ReviewNew episodes drop every week.

How should Christians study the Bible? Does Scripture itself teach us how it should be read? In this episode of The Biblical Mind, Dru Johnson is joined by Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer, distinguished professor of Old Testament for Cairn Theological Seminary at Cairn University, to discuss his new book, Connected: How Scripture Guides the Study of Scripture. Together they explore why the Bible should be interpreted on its own terms rather than through modern assumptions, and how the biblical authors model faithful reading of Scripture itself.The conversation begins with the challenges of teaching today's college students, biblical literacy, and how classroom practices have changed over the past three decades. From there, Schnittjer explains why the Bible's literary artistry, historical context, and overarching narrative are essential for understanding God's revelation. Rather than treating Scripture as isolated verses, he argues that the Bible presents one unified story centered on God's covenant relationship with humanity through Jesus Christ.Along the way, Dru and Gary discuss intertextuality, the importance of reading biblical books within their historical setting, why ancient treaties help illuminate covenant language, and even why Nehemiah might be "the first American" in the Bible. This episode offers practical wisdom for pastors, students, and everyday readers who want to read the Bible more faithfully and discover how Scripture itself teaches us to study Scripture.Order Dr. Schnittjer's new book, Connected: How Scripture Guides the Study of Scripture: https://bhacademic.bhpublishinggroup.com/product/connectedSee more from Dr. Schnittjer at his Substack: https://CarpentersStudent.comContact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

Strong sales conversations are built long before the pitch begins. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Glenn Poulos explore practical strategies for building trust, strengthening customer relationships, and creating memorable buying experiences in both in-person and virtual sales environments.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Glenn Poulos discuss: Relationship-driven approaches to professional selling Adapting traditional sales practices for virtual environments Communication techniques that strengthen customer trust Career decisions, entrepreneurship, and business growth Lessons learned from decades of sales and leadership experience   Key Takeaways: Listening carefully, remembering people, and learning about their environment creates stronger trust than leading with product features. Instead of covering everything you offer, identify the customer's primary problem and build your presentation around solving it. Whether meeting in person or virtually, thoughtful preparation, genuine rapport, and attention to detail leave a stronger impression than a polished sales pitch. Working for strong, market-leading organizations can create greater career growth and reduce the effort spent defending your value. Recognizing what you do well, letting go of poor-fit pursuits, and building on your strengths leads to greater confidence and effectiveness.   "You only have one life to live, so you should always work for the best possible company.” — Glenn Poulos   About Glenn Poulos: Glenn Poulos is a three-time entrepreneur and seasoned strategist leading ProgUSA, a long-standing power industry supplier focused on equipment and tools supporting today's grid and tomorrow's data center power needs.

A Fan-Favorite Rebroadcast: This episode is a rebroadcast of one of our fan-favorite conversations — originally released as Episode 661. We're bringing it back because the strategies Alex Piech shares are just as relevant today as they were then. In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with Alex Piech, a top-producing agent with EXP Realty in the highly competitive Dallas-Fort Worth market, for a wide-ranging conversation on what it actually takes to build consistent, predictable business in real estate right now. Alex breaks down his four core lead sources, why "the best marketer wins, not the best real estate agent," and the two metrics every agent should be tracking to turn their year around. Key Topics Covered: Mindset & Consistency — Why real estate rewards delayed gratification, and how to stay the course through 100 conversations before judging a lead source. - What's Working Now — Alex's top four lead sources: YouTube content, geographic farming, expireds, and Google PPC — and why doubling down beats chasing shiny objects. - Dominating a Geographic Farm — The multi-touch system behind Alex's neighborhood dominance: email opt-ins, quarterly market updates, postcards, and genuine community presence. - The Fake Agent Study — A real marketing experiment where a fictitious agent captured 82% top-of-mind market share in a neighborhood using nothing but consistent postcards. - Adapting to the Market — Why agents pricing off old comps are getting burned by rate swings, and how the agents thriving right now are the ones who've adjusted their approach. - The Two Metrics That Matter — Why conversations and appointments are the only numbers that really move the needle, and how to reverse-engineer your year from them. - Targeting Motivated Sellers — How to work expireds, relocation buyers, and absentee owners using the Frank Kern hook formula and a "have to move" mindset. - Creative Open House Strategy — The $700 taco truck play that turns one listing into a neighborhood-wide buzz event.

Jeannette sits down with Tricia Handley-Hughes, Managing Director of InteleTravel UK, Ireland, and UAE, to explore her four-decade career spanning retail, aviation, and home-working.  Tricia shares candid leadership lessons on the power of clear communication, the importance of personal branding for home-based entrepreneurs, and how to stay grounded when navigating public scrutiny and industry disruption. She also offers an insider look into InteleTravel's hybrid, community-focused business model and explains why embracing new technology and fresh talent is essential for the future of travel. You'll Learn Why: Communication is the single most consistent foundation of effective leadership across every industry and role. Building a personal brand requires staying humble, accepting yourself, and grounding your pitch in key business values. Overcoming public scrutiny and industry pushback requires facing challenges head-on and letting your results do the talking. Adapting to changing work cultures—including the rise of side hustles and flexible, part-time models—is essential for long-term growth. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

Have you ever considered what the bigger risk is? Adapting the wrong AI tool or waiting too long to get started?     Since predictive, generative, and agentic AI continue to alter how organizations operate, understanding how these different technologies complement one another is of utmost importance. This conversation revolves around the measurable impact of AI, while addressing concerns from making advanced analytics accessible to nonprofits of all sizes to using AI for smarter fundraising decisions. Join us and learn why incomplete or messy data shouldn't stop you from using AI, how predictive AI uncovers opportunities, and why treating AI as a strategic capability rather than another tool can help organizations to enhance efficiency, increase revenue, and stay at the very top of an increasingly AI-driven world.    Our guest today is Judah Phillips, the Chief AI and Product Officer at Market Holdings LLC and the General Manager and co-founder of Squark AI, a no-code platform for predictive analytics, forecasting, and decision intelligence. Beyond his professional role, Judah founded the Boston Generative AI Meetup, one of the world's largest in-person AI communities, and Boston AI Week, a citywide AI festival. He is also the author of multiple books related to analytics, e-commerce, and AI. His work specializes in bridging AI strategy, commercialization, governance, investment, and community building to accelerate AI adoption.    In this conversation, Nathan and Judah mainly discuss the developing relationship between predictive, generative, and agentic AI and how it affects the fundraising landscape, also what the future holds for AI and why it's important to build AI capabilities early on.   HIGHLIGHTS [01:23] Introduction and background to Judah Phillips.   [06:48] Judah's journey on the development of Squark AI.   [20:46] Making sophisticated capabilities accessible to everyone, not just building models.   [25:52] Using predictive AI to solve real fundraising challenges.  [38:37] The future convergence of predictive AI, generative AI, and agentic AI.  [45:00] The importance of adopting an AI mindset before the technology moves too far ahead.

Danielle Vandehei is a world-schooling sailor mum who, with her husband and son, spent the last four years building a life around sailing, exploration and learning through experience.Danielle shares how a breaking point on land — a demanding job, a young child, and a longing for more intentional time together — pushed the family to sell their home, their farm animals, and nearly everything they owned to learn to sail from scratch. She's honest about the messy, non-linear reality behind that decision: budget overruns, a house that took a year to sell, a stint in a minivan through Mexico, and plenty of "we're not in alignment yet, that's okay" moments along the way.How does education actually works aboard their boat — starting not with a curriculum, but with deschooling themselves as parents first. Danielle explains how her son learns numbers through fishing, reading through his fish identification book, and social confidence through navigating world-school hubs full of kids of every age and language.Danielle has created Water World Micro Expeditions, the family's new venture inviting other families aboard to experience sailing, marine life, and reconnection with nature in San Blas, Panama — plus where their vision is headed next.Key TakeawaysDeschool the parent first. Before a child can learn differently, the adult often has to unlearn their own assumptions about what "proper" education looks like.Follow the interest, not the age bracket. Danielle's son learns to read through a fish identification book and does mental math through abacus — because those are his interests, not a set curriculum.Learning is 0 to 99, not 5 to 18. There's no finish line — removing the pressure of a deadline changes how both kids and adults relate to learning.Nothing about this life was linear. Selling a 40-acre property took eight months; the house took a year to sell; they went from camper to minivan to boat and back again. Alignment came in its own time.Resilience is the standout FIRE value here — the willingness to stay in motion through setbacks (a blown transmission, a slow house sale) rather than let fear shut the plan down.Social confidence grows through real exposure, not curriculum: Danielle's son now approaches kids and adults of any age or language unprompted, something she attributes directly to years of varied, real-world interaction.Community over content. Water World Micro Expeditions isn't about replicating school on a boat — it's about giving families a lived experience of sailing, marine life, and reconnecting with themselves and each other.Chapters:00:02 - Introduction to World Schooling04:15 - Transition to a New Way of Living09:51 - Transitioning to a New Lifestyle16:38 - Deschooling and Adapting to New Learning Environments27:47 - Nurturing Well-Being in Education34:22 - Connecting with Nature and Learning through Experience37:50 - Building a Vision for Water Worldhttps://waterworldmicroexpeditions.com/Facebook Danielle Marie VandeheiIG- Legacy_throughmotherhood

It is available on Audible, Spotify, LibriVox, Audiobooks.com, and library apps like Libby! You can hear “Chapter 1: Unexpectedness in Big and Little Ideas” in this podcast episode. Talented Swedish author Fredrik Backman reached out to me after reading my book. Once I get his permission, I will share some snippets from our email correspondence—spoiler alert: it's glowing! Mr. Backman is the brilliant mind behind beloved works like My Friends, A Man Called Ove, Beartown, Us Against You, The Winners, Anxious People, and others. Chapter One begins in this way. “We often think of self-growth as being something we initiate, but what if unexpected experiences are what actually shape us? From those unexpected experiences, we extract the lessons for self-growth that reshape our lives.” Our growth often comes wrapped in the cloak of inconvenience, appearing as grief, curiosity, or unexpected questions we never thought to ask. Let's embrace the beautiful messiness of becoming and allow this audiobook to inspire and nurture your big and little ideas along the way. So turn up the volume and enjoy my audiobook!

Therefore, developing relational literacy—the understanding of and ability to practice healthy ways of relating—is essential for personal, social, and ecological transformation.” —Melanie Joy, Ph.D. Psychologist, Author, Theorist, Educator When WeMentor… your life becomes more meaningful!!! Redefine how you lead while redesigning your business. Dual Innovation Leadership WORKS.  Visionary Mentor Nancy Meyer, MA Business and Life Mentor | Podcaster | Author | Mindfulness Yogi and Meditation Integrator I integrate mindfulness yoga into everything because breathing, meditation, and movement are essential as you change your life and how you lead.  I have a compassionate, collaborative approach that reinforces resilience and maintains accountable conversations supporting your evolution. Bottom Line: My top priority is your transformation and creating a meaningful life through business ownership. You will learn new skills, practice, evolve, innovate, expand marketing efforts, and prosper financially. We start with your desire to develop as a leader. To give you more background, I founded WeMentor, inc. in 1992 to promote Dual Innovation Leadership, the ability to evolve how you lead as you redesign your business model. To grow our businesses, we must lead differently when our perspective shifts. The thousands of brave leaders I have mentored succeeded by taking charge of how they evolved and learned how to respond to the unpredictable nature of business ownership by innovating on purpose (asserting self-leadership).  When your perspective shifts, your intuition nudges you into a growth process so you can learn how to lead differently. As you practice new ways of leading, you notice ways to change your business. It is like remodeling.  We start with a plan when we embark on a remodeling project. When we implement the plan, obstacles challenge us to adjust our mindset, gather further information, and brainstorm other options. Adapting the plan to fit our new reality is part of every remodeling project. Budgets always need adjusting, and we need to update our approach to complete the innovation. What I love about renovating our businesses is that new ideas emerge, and the project usually has an even better result. We feel changed through the process and have learned many details about remodeling that we can apply in our next project.

You can also binge and listen to prior podcast conversations. Another thing to know about Dual Innovation Leadership is that you can rebound and recover from trauma, distractions, destructive habits, thoughtlessness, confusion, pointlessness, helplessness, overwork, stress, and suffering as you transform how you lead. Integrating our experiences is exhilarating as we evolve how we lead and redesign our lifework. Take the opportunity to change.

Ohio State has the best wide receiver in college football—but does it have a proven No. 2?Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr wrap up their positional concerns series by examining the three biggest questions facing the Buckeyes' wide receiver room heading into the 2026 season.Jeremiah Smith is the unquestioned star, but Ohio State must determine who will emerge behind him. Can Brandon Inniss finally take the next step? Will UTSA transfer Devin McCuin or LSU transfer Kyle Parker become dependable options? And could one of the talented freshmen force his way into the rotation?Tony and Tom also discuss Ohio State's expected move toward a quicker passing game, the importance of producing more yards after the catch, and whether the Buckeyes have enough proven playmakers to replace Carnell Tate.They also explore what a successful freshman season should realistically look like—and why relying on a freshman can be either a warning sign or a sign that the player is simply too talented to keep off the field.Are these concerns significant enough to limit Ohio State's offense, or will the Buckeyes find their answers early in the season?

Episode OverviewWhat happens to smallmouth bass fishing in Southwest Virginia when a big summer rain event hits after weeks of low, clear water? On this Southwest Virginia Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with guide and writer Matt Reilly of Matt Reilly Fly Fishing for a real-time look at a region caught mid-storm, with rain hammering areas south of Radford and across northeast Tennessee while the New River itself stays comparatively unaffected. Matt breaks down why the coming days of rising, cooling, discolored water will actually put feeding smallmouth on more aggressive behavior than the low, clear conditions anglers had been dealing with, and why a passive, finesse-driven bug approach that worked so well in low water gives way to power fishing with bigger, darker profiles once the water comes up. He walks through the underlying logic: cooler water lowers a smallmouth's metabolic cost of chasing prey, rising flows create a predatory veil that lets fish hunt more boldly, and the same early-morning-versus-midday light and temperature gradient that governs a single summer day also governs the multi-day arc after a storm. Matt also answers a listener question about what conditions put smallmouth in a genuine feeding mood during the dog days of summer. The conversation closes with a look ahead to the fall calendar, as Matt discusses booking musky trips for the final weeks of the season and striped bass dates for next year, and points listeners to his monthly newsletter as the fastest way to hear about last-minute cancellations and openings.Key TakeawaysHow to read a rising, cooling and discoloring river as an opportunity rather than a setback for smallmouth fishing.Why finesse bug presentations dominate in low, clear, hot water while power fishing with streamers takes over once flows rise and temperatures drop.When to target slack water, eddies and bank cover with large, dark profiles during high, dirty water conditions.Why the same light-and-temperature gradient that drives fish activity within a single summer day also plays out across the days following a storm.How to stay ahead of last-minute musky and striper trip openings by subscribing directly to a guide's newsletter.Techniques & Gear CoveredMatt contrasts two core approaches for Southwest Virginia smallmouth: a passive, finesse-oriented topwater bug presentation suited to low, clear, high-pressure summer conditions, and a power-fishing approach built around larger profiles, darker colors, and faster retrieves once rain raises water levels and drops temperatures. He emphasizes targeting protected water, including slack water holes, eddies, and bank cover, when rivers run high and stained, since these areas concentrate fish that are less willing to fight heavy current. The conversation also touches on the same early-morning topwater and baitfish-imitating streamer window that opens before direct sun and rising temperatures push fish back into a more conservative feeding pattern later in the day.Locations & SpeciesThis report centers on the rivers of Southwest Virginia, including the New River and the broader drainages around Radford, Narrows and Pearisburg, with Matt tracking an active storm system moving through the region alongside spillover effects from flooding further north in West Virginia. Smallmouth bass are the primary target discussed, with the conversation focused on how a shift from low, clear, hot conditions to high, cool, discolored flows changes both fish behavior and angler strategy heading into the heart of summer. Matt also flags the approaching transition into fall, when Southwest Virginia's musky season picks up, along with striped bass dates he's already booking for the following year.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy does rising, cooler, dirtier water often improve smallmouth fishing instead of hurting it?Cooler water lowers the energy cost of chasing prey, so smallmouth can afford to move around and feed more aggressively than they do in low, clear, hot conditions. Rising, stained water also gives fish a kind of predatory veil that lets them hunt more boldly instead of feeding cautiously to avoid predators themselves.How should anglers adjust their approach right after a big rain event hits a smallmouth river?Matt's first move is to get below the freshest, most turbid water or find a stretch of river the storm has not fully reached yet. In the days that follow, the priority shifts to identifying the most promising combination of temperature, clarity and flow, since conditions can vary drastically from one stretch of river to the next after a storm.When should anglers use finesse bug fishing versus power fishing with streamers for smallmouth?Finesse bug presentations work best in low, clear, hot water, where fish feed conservatively and a subtle approach out-produces aggressive retrieves. Once water levels rise and temperatures drop, anglers should shift to fishing bigger, faster, and with darker colors in protected water like eddies and bank cover, since fish become willing to chase and expend more energy.What conditions put Southwest Virginia smallmouth into an active summer feeding mood?Beyond the day-to-day storm cycle, the same gradient shows up within a single day: lower light and cooler water temperatures in the early morning trigger windows of aggressive topwater and streamer activity, which then wanes as the sun climbs and the water warms through midday.When does musky season start in Southwest Virginia, and how can anglers get last-minute trip openings?Matt's musky season picks up on the tail end of smallmouth season, with October representing some of the last open dates before the fall push. Because cancellations and last-minute openings move fast, Matt recommends subscribing directly to his newsletter at mattreillyflyfishing.com, since that is where schedule changes get posted first.Related ContentS8, Ep 46 - Low Water, Big Bugs: Matt Reilly's Southwest Virginia Fishing UpdateS7, Ep 19 - Weathering the Winds: March Fishing Insights and Pre-Spawn Strategies with Matt ReillyS6, Ep 112 - Smallmouth Transitions and Musky Prep: Matt Reilly's Southwest VA UpdateS8, Ep 52 - Hot Days and Night Bites: Brian Shumaker's Guide to Pennsylvania Smallmouth FishingConnect with Our GuestFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Emily Cook hoped for a low-intervention birth. But after managing high blood pressure throughout her pregnancy, her plans changed when she was diagnosed with preeclampsia late in her third trimester.   In this episode, Emily shares how the EBB Childbirth Class helped her prepare to navigate an unexpected induction, magnesium therapy, and an epidural while still advocating for the birth experience she wanted. She talks about asking questions, requesting a lower-dose epidural so she could remain mobile, advocating for wireless fetal monitoring and hands-and-knees pushing, and finding confidence in making informed decisions even when things didn't go as planned.   Emily also reflects on the emotional realities of postpartum, from recovering after preeclampsia and establishing breastfeeding to navigating grief after the unexpected loss of her grandmother just weeks after giving birth. Her story is a reminder that birth is only one part of the transition to parenthood, and that caring for the birthing parent is just as important as caring for the baby.   (02:04) How Emily Found EBB (04:29) Her Original Birth Plan and Adapting to Preeclampsia (07:36) Advocating for Individualized Care During Labor (09:22) High Blood Pressure, Triage, and Preeclampsia Diagnosis (15:03) Induction Begins (20:08) Magnesium Drip and Feeling "Tethered" During Labor (25:57) Comfort Measures and Movement (29:07) Pushing on Hands and Knees and Meeting Her Baby (35:57) Postpartum Recovery and Continued Monitoring (40:47) Recovering from Preeclampsia (42:06) Grief and Postpartum (49:06) Emily's Advice for Expecting Parents   Resources Learn more about the EBB Childbirth Class: evidencebasedbirth.com/parentclasses/ EBB 391 – Electronic Fetal Monitoring Advocacy Tips with Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, OB/GYN and Author of The Birth Book EBB 349 – An L & D Nurse's Advice for Advocating in the Birth Room with Trish Ware the Labor Nurse Mama Evidence on: Pitocin® During the Third Stage of Labor   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

How is artificial intelligence changing basketball coaching, player development, scouting, broadcasting, and performance analysis? In Episode 466 of The Gametime Guru Podcast, host Shane Larson sits down with Davyeon Ross, Co-Founder and CEO of ShotTracker, for a fascinating conversation about the intersection of basketball, technology, entrepreneurship, real-time analytics, and artificial intelligence. ShotTracker is helping change the way basketball programs understand what is happening on the court. By combining player and ball tracking, shot data, live statistics, synchronized video, advanced analytics, and AI-powered insights, the platform gives coaches and athletes a deeper look at performance than a traditional box score can provide. But Davyeon's story began long before ShotTracker. Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, Davyeon initially played soccer before discovering basketball as a teenager. Despite getting a relatively late start in the sport, his size, athleticism, footwork, shooting ability, and work ethic helped him earn a full college basketball scholarship in Kansas. After completing a successful college career, Davyeon had opportunities to play professional basketball overseas. Instead, he made the difficult decision to pursue a career in software engineering—a choice that would eventually allow him to combine his passion for sports with his expertise in technology. That combination ultimately led to the creation of ShotTracker. In this episode, Davyeon explains how the original idea began with a simple basketball problem: players and coaches were spending hours manually recording shots and performance data with pen and paper. He and his co-founder saw an opportunity to make that process more efficient, accurate, and valuable. Today, ShotTracker provides basketball technology that can automatically track shots, player movement, practice performance, scrimmage statistics, live game data, and video. Davyeon breaks down how the platform's different products help coaches evaluate players, review possessions, analyze opponents, validate the eye test, and make more informed decisions. In this conversation, Shane and Davyeon discuss: Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago Making the transition from soccer to basketball Moving to the United States at 17 years old Earning a full college basketball scholarship Adapting to a new country, culture, and level of competition Choosing software engineering over professional basketball The immigration and career factors that influenced that decision How Davyeon combined his love of sports and technology The original problem that inspired ShotTracker How ShotTracker measures shots, player movement, and team performance How basketball statistics can be synchronized with video How artificial intelligence can make film study and scouting more efficient Why analytics should support a coach's instincts rather than replace them How data can help quantify what coaches see during games and practices Why traditional coaches can still benefit from modern basketball technology Davyeon's friendship and mentorship relationship with former NBA Commissioner David Stern What Davyeon learned from David Stern about leadership and innovation Why great innovators are able to "see around corners" The future of AI, automation, and basketball analytics How technology could allow coaches to spend less time behind keyboards and more time developing players Davyeon also shares an important perspective for coaches who may be hesitant to embrace new technology. Tracking performance is not a new concept. Coaches have measured shots, possessions, lineups, and player development for decades. ShotTracker simply uses modern technology to make that process faster, easier, and more scalable. The conversation also explores how artificial intelligence could shape the future of basketball broadcasts and fan engagement. As data, video, and automation become more connected, fans may receive increasingly personalized ways to watch, understand, and interact with the game. Whether you are a basketball coach, player, parent, athletic director, scout, entrepreneur, technology professional, or sports fan, this episode offers an inside look at how AI and real-time analytics are helping shape the future of basketball.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  Building high-performance teams, especially in dynamic industries, can be one of the biggest challenges a leader faces.  Sometimes passionate founders or senior leaders can go from passionate advocate to authoritarian autocrat.  Left unchecked, this can lead to organizations underperforming in the long term and missed opportunities.  So where is the balance?   In this episode, Kim speaks with Liz Wiseman, the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers.  Liz and Kim explore the pitfalls of authoritarian leadership, the power of multipliers, and how leaders can foster environments where everyone does the best work of their lives and builds the best relationships of their careers. Liz does point out that there are certain, limited instances where a top down, “command and control” approach is the right choice (for example, during an acute crisis), but these instances should be rare and targeted.  They also discuss practical strategies for managing diminishing leaders and creating impact regardless of leadership style. They also talk about the importance of understanding power dynamics in leadership.   Guest Background: Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to top organizations worldwide. She wrote the New York Times bestsellers Multipliers, The Multiplier Effect, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Rookie Smarts and Impact Players.
