What does it actually look like when a collegiate athlete decides to take women's health into her own hands, and bring her whole team along with her? Kate Putman is a senior at NC State University running cross country and track for one of the most decorated programs in the country under Coach Laurie Henes. She's also a biological sciences student, a Lane 9 inaugural athlete ambassador, a steeplechase All-American, a summer research intern with REDs researcher Katie Ransberger in Munich, and — perhaps most importantly — pet-parent of Kaz, a mostly rottweiler who has attended team photo shoots and maybe even improved her race times. She's here to talk about all of it. Heather and Kate cover the journey from excruciating period pain freshman year to fueling adequately to the support around her, what she learned watching low energy availability research happen in real time in Germany, and how a culture shift around fueling on her team has looked less like a lecture and more like popsicles on a long run trail.

Olivia Amber is a professional ultrarunner, climber, and adventurer, and a North Face sponsored athlete based in Bishop, California. I met Olivia at The Rut Mountain Runs in Big Sky, where she was on a public lands panel I moderated. She was also there to talk about her biggest project to date: Norman's 13. Norman's 13 is a route, a link-up of all thirteen of the Sierra's 14,000-foot peaks. It's more than 100 miles with over 40,000 feet of climbing, much of it exposed, off-trail, fifth-class scrambling. Last September, Olivia did the whole thing in one non-stop push, finishing in about 89 hours and becoming the first woman to complete it. The North Face made a short film about that effort, also called "Norman's 13," and I'll link to it in the show notes. And earlier this summer, Olivia and her friend and fellow North Face athlete Erika Flowers set the fastest known time on Granite Peak, the highest point in Montana. Olivia grew up in a tiny village in the woods of northern Wisconsin, the daughter of two schoolteachers who spent their summers road-tripping around the country with Olivia and her older sister. She went on to become an All-American Nordic skier at Colby College, and after graduation she made the hard decision to not pursue pro skiing. Instead, she began working in the corporate word in San Francisco, where the Bay Area trail running community pulled her in and she began to make a name for herself in the world of ultrarunning. Along the way she has dealt with serious health challenges, including a diagnosis of stage four endometriosis, which she speaks about openly and honestly. In this conversation, we talk about her upbringing and her college years, and about her idea that choosing to suffer is a privilege, because she has become acquainted with the kind of suffering you don't choose. We get into how she thinks about risk and ego on technical terrain, what she looks for in a mountain adventure partner, her upcoming trip to Bhutan for the Snowman Race, and the Wallace Stegner book she has reread more than any other. As you can probably tell by now Olivia is hardcore athlete, but she's also incredibly humble, down-to-earth and funny– the exact kind of person I love talking to on the podcast. There's a link to "Norman's 13" in the show notes, and you should absolutely watch it. --- Olivia Amber "Norman's 13" film Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/olivia-amber --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, MIRASOL: Looking at the Sun, Patagonia Books, the Rye Resurgence Project for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Introducing Olivia Amber and highlighting MIRASOL 6:42 - Growing up in Wisconsin 8:40 - Congregating at the local school 11:20 - Endurance sports activated 13:39 - Finding passion in difficulty 15:30 - Olivia in high school and college 20:21 - D1 22:13 - All-American designation 25:13 - Moving away from professional skiing 27:34 - Athletics + corporate world 29:48 - San Francisco running community 32:58 - Going hard core 35:06 - Health scares 39:39 - The privilege of elective suffering 45:07 - The North Face and Norman's 13 51:26 - Not afraid 57:24 - Credit roll 59:50 - What to look for in an adventure partner 1:02:47 - Upcoming projects 1:03:56 - Book recs 1:05:37 - Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

In part one of this episode, Casey sits down with Fesi Sitake, wide receivers coach at BYU and a rare figure who has spent his entire coaching career without ever leaving Utah. Fesi's story is not just a football story; it is a study in how a person rebuilds themselves. He walks through a childhood shaped by poverty, a home with more than twenty relatives under one roof, the slow loss of his mother to a rare genetic disease, and the quiet mentors who refused to let him disappear. What emerges is a conversation about reinvention. Fesi shares how deliberate fresh starts, a transformative mission, and an All-American career at Southern Utah taught him that joy is a matter of focus, not circumstance. He and Casey explore the culture Kalani Sitake has built at BYU, why loyalty and love outlast pressure, and how leaders stay humble and hungry without letting their past define them. The result is a masterclass in resilience and self-belief. Anyone carrying a hard story who wants to turn it into fuel will find this hour unforgettable.The information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

What if one of the biggest bottlenecks in your dealership isn't lead volume at all, but having the right people in the right seats? In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams are joined by Brandon Anderson for a powerful conversation about automotive Outsource BDC, Internet Sales, recruiting, staffing, and dealership efficiency. "Respecting people and talent is crucial... Understanding their impact is a win for everyone." - Brandon Anderson Using comparisons from the world of professional sports, the conversation breaks down why dealerships should stop treating hiring like a last-minute emergency and start thinking more strategically about talent. Just like a winning team scouts, develops, and places players based on their strengths, dealerships need a smarter approach to building the people and processes responsible for handling customer opportunities. "Winners hang with winners... When I realized Sean was a winner, I wanted to be a part of that team." - Brandon Anderson The episode also explores when outsourcing makes sense, how expert BDC support can strengthen dealership performance, and why proper alignment between people, process, and expectations can have a major impact on sales and profitability. "Your time is important... Don't focus on things that aren't going to move you towards the goal line." - Sean V. Bradley If you're a Dealer Principal, GM, GSM, Internet Director, or BDC Manager trying to improve lead handling, recruiting, efficiency, and overall dealership performance, this episode gives you a fresh perspective on how to build a stronger operation without giving away the entire playbook.

All-American linebacker and Illini Inquirer football analyst J Leman joins Jeremy Werner to react to Illinois football's 31-27 loss to Duke. Leman discusses his concern level after the loss, key miscues that swung the close game, the difference between a great offensive first half and poor close and what Illinois needs to be more successful defensively.

On the bright side, Nebraska is 2-0 on the season with two very easy wins against teams from the MAC. The downside is this: with the inferior competition the Huskers have played so far, we really don't know how good this team is. On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, presented by Strategic Solutions Sanitation, Travis Justice and former Husker offensive lineman Dr. Rob Zatechka take a look back at the Bowling Green game and look ahead to Saturday's showdown with North Dakota. On paper, the numbers echo the glory days. Averaging 535 yards a game, 256 yards a game on the ground, and 53 points per game! A mobile quarterback in Anthony Colandrea who can make plays with his feet and his arm. Jamal Rule, a running back who has future All-Conference written all over him, and maybe All-American. The defense may finally be worthy of being called “The Blackshirts” again. Giving up just 28 points in two games. Bowling Green was held to just a touchdown. Is this for real, or just smoke and mirrors? How about too early to tell. Up next is North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks are one of the best teams in FCS. Sure, they may be playing down a division, but they will most likely be the best team Nebraska has played so far this year. North Dakota has a potent offense led by quarterback Jerry Kaminski. Kaminski has 11 touchdown passes in three games and is completing 77% of his passes. North Dakota averages 540 yards and 50 points per game. However, Nebraska will be the best team it has played this season. North Dakota and Nebraska last played in 2022. The Huskers won 38-17. However, the game was much closer than the final score suggests. The Huskers needed two touchdowns in the 4th quarter to make the game out of reach. Travis and Dr. Rob always have lively and somewhat thought-provoking conversations; enjoy the episode!

It's the J Leman Hour on The Drive! Illinois football legend and All-American linebacker J Leman joins Kurtis Allen and Evan Stone to break down the highly anticipated matchup between the Illinois Fighting Illini and Duke Blue Devils. J Leman provides an in-depth preview of the game, discusses the biggest storylines heading into Saturday, and reveals his keys to victory for Illinois. What must the Illini do on offense and defense to come away with a win? Which matchups could decide the game? Plus, Leman shares his perspective on Illinois football, the challenges of playing a team like Duke, and what fans should be watching for when the Illini take the field. Topics include:
Marc Vandermeer and John Harris count down the final hours to the Texans' Week 1 opener against the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium on this Thursday edition of Texans All-Access on 95.7 The Fan. The guys open with the NFL Kickoff Game, where Drew Lock came off the bench for Seattle and Drake Maye's three fourth-quarter interceptions swung the Super Bowl rematch, then dig into Maye's track record against winning teams and why so few young quarterbacks get real coaching continuity. Pro Football Hall of Fame sportswriter John McClain joins the program on the line on his way to a Gridiron Legends event. The General explains why he believes the Texans' defense could be even better than it was last season, what one early DE Will Anderson Jr. hit on QB Josh Allen could mean, and why the offensive line is the key to the run game with RB David Montgomery and RB Woody Marks in the backfield against new Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's 3-4. He shares what he expects from QB C.J. Stroud and offensive coordinator Nick Caley, goes around the league on Browns-Jaguars, Ravens-Colts and Buccaneers-Bengals, names the Cowboys and Bengals as his turnaround teams, and weighs in on where Arch Manning could land. Rookie LB Aiden Fisher then sits down in studio. The seventh-round pick and two-time All-American from national champion Indiana talks about managing the long rookie year, what LB Azeez Al-Shaair and LB Henry To'oTo'o have taught him, and why his superpower is the stuff that doesn't show up on a stopwatch. He compares DeMeco Ryans with Curt Cignetti, explains what it's like wearing Ryans' No. 59 and hearing the defensive call through the green dot, and describes playing special teams for Frank Ross, following Cignetti from James Madison to Indiana, and why preparing for Josh Allen is the part of football he loves most. The show closes with Thursday's injury report and a Houston Methodist Minutes segment with Dr. Robert Flannery on hydration and electrolytes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kate Livesay was a two sport star at Middlebury in field hockey and lacrosse, twice earning All American honors and leading her Middlebury lacrosse teams to two NCAA titles. She is one of the most decorated coaches in college lacrosse history, leading Middlebury Women's lacrosse to seven NCAA Championships (2016, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026) and Trinity Women's lacrosse to a single NCAA title. Her teams have set the program single-season wins record three times over, going a perfect 23-0 in 2023, 2024, and 2026 — a standard of excellence virtually unmatched in the modern era of the sport. Over her 18 year head coaching career had compiled a record of 322 wins and only 38 losses. Her individual honors are equally remarkable. A four-time IWLCA National Coach of the Year (2012, 2016, 2019, 2022) and seven-time NESCAC Coach of the Year, her staff has also been recognized four times as IWLCA National Coaching Staff of the Year, reflecting not just her personal vision but the culture she has built around her. The consistency of those honors across nearly two decades speaks to a program that doesn't just win championships; it sets the standard for what championship programs look like. In our conversation today, we discuss how she consistently builds championship cultures, focuses on values, connection and purpose, and intentionally manages her entire roster to keep everyone on board for such long seasons.

#277: Scott Spiezio is a two-time World Series champion and former Major League Baseball player who spent 12 seasons with the Oakland Athletics, Anaheim Angels, Seattle Mariners, and St. Louis Cardinals. He is the only father-son duo to win a World Series ring with the same organization (St. Louis Cardinals). An All-American at the University of Illinois and the school's career home run leader, Spiezio is best known for his pivotal home run in Game 6 of the 2002 World Series that helped lead the Angels to their first championship.After reaching the highest level of professional baseball, however, Spiezio's life began to unravel through alcohol addiction and substance abuse. His struggles eventually cost him his career and brought significant personal and professional consequences. Rather than hiding from that chapter of his life, Spiezio has increasingly made his story one of honesty, accountability, recovery and helping others.His new memoir, The Hardest Comeback, chronicles that journey—from childhood and baseball success to addiction, losing nearly everything, and finding a path forward to redemption. His book is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. His story is also the subject of the documentary SPIEZIO, premiering on September 10 in St. Louis as the city celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Cardinals' 2006 World Series championship and then will be streaming on Re-Discover TV.Scott is also available for public speaking and personal appearances.
