Success can quietly convince us that we got here on our own. But everything we have—our influence, opportunities, abilities, even our next breath—is ultimately a gift from God. In Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar discovers what happens when we make ourselves the center of the story—and the grace of a God who is willing to humble us in order to restore us.

Live from Philadelphia on NATA Radio Row! We are joined by Dr. Ricker Adkins, Assistant Professor and Clinical Education Coordinator at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Adkins shares his wealth of experience transitioning from Division I collegiate athletics to shaping the next generation of athletic trainers in academia. We dive into the current state of MSAT clinical education, preceptor development, and how to bridge the gap between classroom theory and sideline reality. A huge thank you to our official NATA Radio Row sponsor, Pivot by TenCate (@pivot_by_tencate), for supplying our mobile studio setup!

Where do you draw the line?In a world where values are constantly shifting, how do you know what's simply a preference, what's a matter of conscience, and what's truly non-negotiable?In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced a choice that could cost them everything. Their faith wasn't built on God guaranteeing the outcome they wanted. They knew God could save them—but even if He didn't, they had already decided who they would worship.This week, Pastor Mike walks through a practical framework for making difficult moral decisions, standing firm without becoming hostile, and trusting God even when obedience comes with a cost.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a violent cargo-theft case that underscores the escalating danger of rail corridor crime in Southern California. After gunfire erupted from a moving BNSF freight train during a confrontation with suspected burglars, authorities arrested five men on charges ranging from attempted murder to cargo theft and conspiracy. The arrests came after task force members discovered equipment used to burglarize rail cars, highlighting how armed theft crews endanger railway employees while disrupting freight moving through critical corridors. Next, we explore how consolidation is reshaping the finished vehicle sector as Overland Park–based Acertus officially acquires Auburn, Massachusetts–based Fisher Shipping, expanding its carrier network and relationships with original equipment manufacturers and dealers. Fisher Shipping will continue to operate under its existing banner while gaining access to Acertus' expansive platform with enhanced fraud prevention and real-time shipment visibility. The deal follows another massive acquisition this week in which Proficient Auto Logistics agreed to acquire Hansen & Adkins for one hundred thirty million dollars, creating a combined entity expected to haul over four million vehicles annually. Finally, we break down how ocean carrier Maersk is betting that vertical integration from port to doorstep is the key to winning the last-mile battle in e-commerce logistics. According to Maersk executives, last-mile delivery is no longer just a cost center—it's a data intelligence engine that reveals upstream issues like inventory allocation, product development, and order response times. Rather than building its own delivery fleet, Maersk manages a pool of carriers on customers' behalf through a multi-carrier model with single API integration, creating one consistent customer experience that connects every link from vessels crossing the ocean to final doorstep delivery.

The Bad Boy Barristers have returned to debate the biggest topics of the past few weeks as Jack tries to keep the peace on #LexSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kellie Adkins did her homework — including a close look at the IAYT's 990s — and she brings the receipts. In this conversation with Rebecca, they get into the financial reality behind the C-IAYT credential: what yoga therapists are actually earning (around $10K a year, against the cost of a yoga therapy degree), why significant numbers of credentialed yoga therapists are choosing not to renew, and what the IAYT's own financial losses over recent years say about the organization's trajectory. They also talk about the structural problem at the root of all of it — an industry that trained far more people than it ever built jobs for, and the obligation legacy professionals have to charge enough that entry-level yoga therapy can actually be a livable wage. Kellie also brings something genuinely useful to the conversation: a working accountability model built around DEIA, lineage, and codes of conduct with real removal processes — and hire.yoga, her platform designed to connect yoga therapists with actual employment opportunities. Plus a conversation about AI tools and how yoga professionals can use them well.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterThe Back RoomInside Yoga MagazineLeave me a message on Speakpipe.Kellie Adkins' Website

In this episode, we kick things off with a massive consolidation move reshaping the finished vehicle logistics market. Jacksonville-based Proficient Auto Logistics announced a one hundred thirty million dollar agreement to acquire California-based Hansen & Adkins, a deal that will push the combined company's market share to roughly 25 percent of the new car hauling market. The acquisition will more than double Proficient's fleet to over seven hundred twenty-five company-owned units and add four hundred million dollars in annual revenue, with the deal expected to close in mid-August as the auto haul industry faces rising regulatory pressures and tightening capacity. Next, we explore a brewing battle in the parcel sector where a Senate bill aimed at solving Zip code confusion is triggering fierce pushback from postal leadership. The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee endorsed legislation requiring the U.S. Postal Service to designate unique Zip codes for eighty-three communities, but Postmaster General David Steiner is warning that the mandate would cause irreparable harm to both the organization and its customers. Steiner claims implementation would cost well over eight hundred million dollars, completely erasing last quarter's hard-fought performance gains for an agency that has lost nearly fifteen billion dollars over the past twenty-one months. Finally, we break down strong second-quarter results from one of the nation's largest freight railroads as BNSF Railway reported pre-tax earnings rising nearly fourteen percent on higher volume and revenue. Parent company Berkshire Hathaway disclosed that BNSF's earnings climbed to two point zero six billion dollars as revenue increased fourteen point six percent to six point five six billion, driven by a six and a half percent volume surge and higher revenue per unit. Consumer products traffic grew nine point three percent thanks to increased West Coast imports and tightening truck capacity, while agricultural and energy shipments jumped eleven and a half percent, though the railroad's operating ratio deteriorated slightly as fuel costs surged sixty-eight percent year over year.

How do you follow Jesus in a world that doesn't share your values—without compromising your convictions or becoming angry at everyone around you?Daniel lived in a culture that tried to reshape his identity, beliefs, and future. But while Babylon could control where he lived, it couldn't control who he became.In week one of Stand Alone, we discover what it looks like to live with conviction and character—to know where you stand, extend grace to the people around you, and trust that God is already at work.

This week we are joined by the Sports Field Manager at Vanderbilt University, Adam Adkins!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I sit down with Adam Adkins, the Sports Field Manager at Vanderbilt University and a guy I have known for 30 years. Adam and a team of five or six are responsible for nearly every varsity athletic surface on campus, roughly 24 acres with 11 and a half of that natural turf, and the standard never moves no matter what the weather does. We get into how my own dad taught a five foot twelve year old left hander to pitch, the summer Adam grew from five foot four to six foot two, the wake up call of an SEC locker room, and the phone call that talked him into an Augusta National internship he was ready to turn down. Plus what he looks for on a resume, why most people stop evolving the day school ends, the morning someone sprayed weedkiller on greens worth millions, and why you will never outlive your own self image.Key Points:- Trust the process only works once you have stacked enough wins that you would be a fool not to.- Somebody has to see it in you first, and then have the patience to stay with you.- Consistency is the whole job. The weather changes, the surface does not.- Culture starts at recruiting. Hire like minded people and it stops being a job.- You can plan for a year and something will still go wrong, so hire for how people adapt.- Personal development stops being automatic the day you leave school. After that it is a choice.- A degree without a way to apply it is a skill you cannot monetize.- Getting out of your comfort zone is how you find out what you actually love.- The more you learn, the faster you admit somebody else knows more than you.- Attention to detail can be explained to you, but you do not understand it until it is yours to own.About our guest:Adam Adkins is the Sports Field Manager at Vanderbilt University, where he and his team look after nearly every varsity athletic surface on campus, roughly 24 acres of playing surface with 11 and a half acres of natural turf. Raised in middle Tennessee, he learned to pitch as a five foot twelve year old left hander under Mickey Hiter, Travis Copley and Lin Pilgrim, grew from five foot four to six foot two the summer before his junior year, and capped his high school career with a state championship before heading to the University of Tennessee, where he pitched and studied turf grass management.An internship at Augusta National that he nearly declined pulled him toward golf, and he spent 14 years as a golf course superintendent across middle Tennessee, starting at Vanderbilt Legends out of college. He returned to the sports side at Vanderbilt roughly two years ago. He credits Hall of Fame superintendent Joe Kennedy with giving him his start, and says being around coaches like Tim Corbin and Clark Lea is the part of the job he would never trade.Follow and contact:Instagram: @Adkins31Subscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Tate speaks with Franklin Admirals head football coach Josh Atkins following a successful scrimmage against Riverdale to kick off August. Coach Atkins highlights early offensive execution—specifically praise for the offensive line, a converted fourth-down 40-plus yard touchdown run by quarterback Ryder Greg, and the return of broad receiver/tight end Bronx Brusscato—while acknowledging defensive communication growth against Riverdale's speedy receivers. The discussion emphasizes the team's strong running back tandem of Joseph "JoJo" Penaya and sophomore Corey Cook, as well as unique team bonding, such as an ongoing tradition with kicker Henry Ruth, who earns a ketchup sandwich for every touchback. Looking ahead to next week's scrimmage against Rockvale and their season opener against LaVerne in 20 days, Coach Atkins stresses sharpening execution and focusing on incremental improvements to build a complete, disciplined squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bakri Postpartum Balloon was described and first used clinically in 1999 by Dr. Younes N. Bakri (Georgia, USA). It is intended to treat postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). In the United States, it received its first major FDA clearance (via 510(k) for commercial marketing) on April 17, 2002. Manufacturer guidelines for the Bakri (Cook Medical) state that the balloon may be left indwelling for a maximum of 24 hours, but the determination of removal time is left to the clinician once “bleeding is controlled and the patient is stable.” However, the optimal duration of intrauterine balloon tamponade placement remains unclear. One retrospective cohort study from AJOG (Einerson et al) of 274 women found no significant difference in PPH outcomes when intrauterine balloon tamponade was left in place for 2–12 hours, compared with more than 12 hours. However, only 30 women had the intrauterine balloon tamponade placement for 10 hours or less. And remember, this was not a prospective trial looking at a minimum of 2 hours, 2 hours was just the lower margin of the “short duration” group. Now, a new RCT (with authors from Denver and Vermont) published in the July 2026 Green Journal provides new data. In this first of its kind pragmatic, randomized trial of noninferiority, a 6-hour duration of intrauterine balloon tamponade usage for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) control was compared with an 18-hour duration.

This week I welcome Barry Adkins, a speaker and advocate whose heartbreaking story has become a life-saving message for hundreds of thousands across the country.After losing his 18-year-old son Kevin to alcohol poisoning on what should have been the beginning of his adult life, Barry made it his mission to educate others about the dangers of binge drinking and the devastating consequences that can come from just one night of bad choices.In 2007, carrying Kevin's ashes in his backpack, Barry began an extraordinary 1,400-mile walk from Arizona to Montana — sharing his son's story in schools, churches, treatment centers, and communities along the way. Today, Barry joins us to talk about that life-changing knock on the door, the journey that followed, and how he turned grief into purpose, hope, and a powerful mission to help others.https://kevinslastwalk.com/https://www.amazon.com/Kevins-Last-Fathers-Final-Journey-ebook/dp/B004W0CI1I?ref_=ast_author_dp&th=1&psc=1https://millionmilechallenge.com/www.kimlenglingauthor.com#bingedrinking #alcoholpoisoning #grief #teendrinking

Most financial advisers already know they should be more active on LinkedIn. What they don't know is why what they're doing isn't working.Free LinkedIn Webinar - book here -  http://www.leadgenfs.co.uk/fpl    It's not the content. It's not the consistency. It's who they're connected to, what they're saying in messages, and whether they've ever stopped to define exactly who they're trying to reach. Get those three things wrong and LinkedIn produces nothing. Get them right and, as Louis Adkins puts it, consistent inputs get consistent outputs.In this episode of Financial Planner Life, Sam Oakes sits down with Louis Adkins, Founder of LeadGenFS, who started building his LinkedIn system at 19 during his second year of university. He was studying geography, had no marketing background, and no clients. His first break came through a friend's dad. By his third year he had a waiting list of 27 clients, built entirely from LinkedIn. He graduated and went straight into the business full time.In the last 12 months alone, LeadGenFS has worked with over 100 financial advisers, helping them generate 3 to 5 qualified appointments a week from LinkedIn. One adviser added £12 million in AUM in 12 months. Another booked 47 calls in 90 days. A third sent 20 messages, went for a shower, came back seven minutes later and had an interested reply waiting.Louis breaks down the full system in this episode.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World. Earlier this year, Jimmy Eat World unveiled the 25th anniversary tour of Bleed American — a landmark album that wrapped their sophisticated, heartfelt storytelling in giant hooks and polished production. Before their headlining run kicks off next week, the frontman stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to discuss the right way to finish a song, growing up in the '90s, and their ability to fit anywhere. “I don't know how, but we've definitely done tours where it's like nine ska bands and us or eight hardcore bands and us,” Adkins tells Madden. “Somehow we don't get chased out of the room.” ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!

"With animal welfare, we're basically waiting till the roof falls in — when the animals are at the shelter, that's the roof falling in. We have to catch them earlier." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Kitten Conference. What if the animal welfare system stopped waiting for families to walk through the shelter door — and started showing up before they ever got there? That's the question driving BJ Adkins, disabled veteran and founder of Animal Angels Foundation (AAF), a prevention-first nonprofit serving seven counties in central Alabama. After years of fostering and watching intake numbers refuse to budge, BJ decided to stop patching the system and start rebuilding its missing layer. AAF isn't a rescue organization. It's prevention infrastructure: programs designed to solve the problems that force pet surrender before surrender ever becomes an option. Those programs include SNIP, a spay/neuter assistance initiative with a $100 stipend for income-qualifying owners; The Bridge, which addresses the financial and housing barriers that most often precede surrender; Finder-to-Foster; Adoption Boost; Landlord Partnership; and Sniff and Greet. Connecting it all is the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) — a shared technology platform that replaces organizational silos with real-time coordination across shelters, rescues, vet clinics, and community partners. Three participation levels and no cost to join means even change-resistant organizations can get on board. To measure what's working, BJ is partnering with a University of Tennessee researcher to build the evidence base for prevention-first animal welfare — while already fielding calls from Colorado, Tennessee, and the Canadian SPCA. The data is being collected. The network is growing. And if BJ has anything to say about it, the roof won't have to fall in anymore.

A lot of us want change, but our habits are shaping us more than our intentions. In Week 1 of You Are What You Love, we explore how the rhythms we repeat every day are forming the people we're becoming—and how Jesus can reshape our hearts from the inside out. 

In this episode of Monday Matters, Will Parker brings together a group of school leaders from Ohio who participate in an ongoing Impact Mastermind in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, Adkins & Company, LLC, and Principal Matters, LLC. The conversation centers on how collective coaching and collaboration strengthen leadership practice and help leaders better develop others. Meet the Ohio Impact Mastermind This week’s guests (pictured above) include Kelly M. Brodzenski, Breen Slauter, Julita (Julie) Flowers, Danielle Morris, and Renee Holt. Additional members mentioned but not present include: Jared Hawk, Allison Shardell, Joe Weisend, Ken Goodrum, and Chris Brooks. I'm grateful for each of them, and I'm excited to share lessons from our regular sessions together. Let's Keep Learning as Leaders A key theme throughout the discussion is that leadership can feel isolating, but being part of a trusted community creates space for honesty, reflection, and growth. The leaders describe how regular mastermind sessions provide: A safe, non-evaluative environment to process real challenges Opportunities to learn from others' experiences and apply solutions proactively Support in navigating emotionally complex decisions, especially around staff and school culture Accountability to stay focused on professional growth and reflective practice Several leaders highlight how coaching has sharpened their ability to: Listen deeply and ask better questions rather than rushing to solutions Separate emotion from evidence when making difficult decisions Build confidence and clarity in high-stakes leadership moments The group also emphasizes the practical impact of this work. They are not just learning—they are translating these strategies back into their schools by: Using coaching questions with assistant principals and staff Creating more reflective, people-centered staff meetings Encouraging team growth beyond just data and performance metrics Modeling collaboration and continuous learning within their own organizations Another major insight is the distinction between typical school meetings (focused on data and outcomes) and mastermind conversations, which focus on the “how” of leadership—mindset, decision-making, and personal growth. Parting Words of Wisdom As the conversation concluded, each leader offered a meaningful parting word of advice for fellow school leaders, reinforcing the importance of connection, growth, confidence, and purpose in the work. Danielle Morris reminded listeners, “You are not alone—seek out community.” Julita (Julie) Flowers encouraged leaders to remain grounded in their development, sharing, “Stay committed to growth to sustain leadership success.” Breen Slauter added the importance of trusting oneself while continuing to learn, noting, “Trust your instincts while remaining open to learning.” Finally, Renee Holt brought the focus back to purpose, urging leaders to “Always reconnect to your ‘why' for leading.” Let's Wrap This Up Great leaders don't grow in isolation. They grow through intentional, collaborative learning with others who understand the work. If you're interested in learning more from these leaders, reach out through their websites listed in the introduction. If you'd like to connect about opportunities for coaching, mentoring, or Masterminds for yourself or your leaders, reach out to Will at will@williamdparker.com Until next time, thank you for doing what matters!

Send us Fan MailAnxiety has a way of convincing us that if we just plan harder and grip tighter, we will finally feel safe. Jonathan Adkins shares what happened when that strategy stopped working and he hit a low point that forced an honest admission: control is not the same as peace, and it never was. His story will resonate with a lot of Christian men who grew up around church, drifted in college, and later realized something essential was missing.Most men fight a battle no one sees—their thoughts.
