Sales activity is the lifeblood of your career. But for too many salespeople, it's the very thing holding them back. You're generating a ton of activity, your calendar is packed, your inbox is overflowing, and by the end of the day, you're drained.  But your numbers aren't moving. You're not gaining ground; you're just driving in circles. As Ron Karr, author of Velocity Mindset, says, the difference between amateurs and top performers isn't how fast they move, but whether they're moving with a clear, defined direction. The problem isn't laziness. It's that you're mistaking motion for momentum. And that's why you feel stuck. The Problem: Sales Activity Without Purpose Most salespeople today are trapped in a cycle of sales activity that leads nowhere. Instead of pursuing long-term, meaningful outcomes, they chase short-term wins: a quick meeting booked, a proposal sent, a Request for Proposal (RFP) answered. But those wins don't move the needle. They pull you onto a field controlled by competitors. You're responding to bids, filling out forms, and competing on price. That's not selling—it's order-taking. And order-taking will keep you broke no matter how much activity you pile on. The Real Cost of “Busyness” Busyness isn't just about wasted time. It's about emotional avoidance. The reason you bury yourself in low-value sales activity is that it feels safe. These tasks create the illusion of productivity while shielding you from what you're really afraid of: rejection. Instead of calling the prospect who's gone cold, you refresh your CRM. Rather then reaching out to the big account you've been circling, you tidy your inbox. Instead of pushing into a tough conversation, you polish the proposal one more time. You're not lazy. You're working hard. But effort without purpose is like a car spinning its wheels in the mud. Lots of noise, lots of energy, but no forward motion.  The Solution: High-Leverage Sales Activity Not all sales activity is created equal. Some actions produce a 10x return. Others are pure waste. Top performers know the difference—and ruthlessly prioritize the former. Here are three high-leverage sales activities that separate pros from amateurs: Proactive Prospecting Your sales pipeline is the fuel tank for your career. If it's empty, you're not going anywhere. Prospecting isn't a side task you do when you have extra time. It is the job. That means making outbound calls, sending personalized emails, and using LinkedIn to connect with people who aren't already in your orbit. Stop waiting for the phone to ring. Go make it ring. Meaningful Conversations Once you get a prospect's attention, the goal isn't to rattle off product features. It's to have a value-driven conversation. That means asking discovery questions that uncover their goals, their pain points, and their motivations. It means showing up as an expert and positioning yourself as a trusted advisor, not another vendor. When you consistently create conversations that center around the customer's needs, you become indispensable. Prospects should feel like they'd be foolish not to work with you. The Power of “No” Not every opportunity deserves your time. Amateurs say yes to every opportunity and demo request. Top performers say no. Qualify hard; disqualify fast. The hours you spend chasing a dead deal are hours you could invest in finding a stronger one. Being busy with the wrong opportunities makes you broke. Saying no to the wrong leads frees you up to say yes to the right ones. Your Action Plan To Go From “Just Busy” To Productive Breaking the cycle of wasted sales activity requires intention and discipline. Here's how to start: Step 1: The Activity Audit For one week, track everything you do—calls, emails, meetings, busywork. At the end of the week, review your log and ask: Which of these activities directly moved a deal forward or created new pipeline? Most of what you thought was productive won't make the cu...

Champion olympique en 2018, huit fois champion du monde, 142 podiums en Coupe du monde, dont 99 victoires, Mikaël Kingsbury est sans contredit l’un des meilleurs skieurs à bosses de l’histoire. Alors qu’il vient d’être nommé chevalier de l’Ordre national du Québec, Kingsbury a aussi dans sa mire les JO 2026 de Milan-Cortina. Mais à quoi ressemble sa préparation par les temps qui courent, surtout l’été… Invité aux Amateurs de Sports mercredi soir, Kingsbury nous décrit à quoi ressemblent ses journées durant la saison estivale et nous glisse même un mot sur son autre métier, celui de papa! Justine B Simard, retenez ce nom. À 9 ans, cette jeune phénomène possède déjà 11 médailles aux finales mondiales de la World Ninja League. En carrière, Justine B a déjà remporté 50 médailles d’or dans plusieurs compétitions! «J’ai défoncé les catégories», dit-elle, en riant. Ses parents, Dominic et Annie-Pierre, soulignent aussi l’apport positif de sa pratique sportive sur ses rendements académiques. Son rêve : participer au Jeux Olympiques en tant que Ninja! Pour sauter d’une carrière de 15 mètres, 20 mètres, il faut du courage. Beaucoup de courage. Deux jeunes, Paul Caillé et Michael Foisy, ont fondé la page Cliff Jumping Qc, sur laquelle ils publient des vidéos d’eux et de leurs abonnés, sautant d’un peu partout au Québec. De passage en studio, Caillé et Foisy, qui se sont d’ailleurs rencontrés sur le bord d’une falaise, nous expliquent l’histoire derrière leur passion commune. Ils soulignent la dangerosité qui entoure les sauts en hauteur, qui faut de la peur pour réaliser ces derniers, car ceux-ci amènent beaucoup de rigueur. Avec leurs abonnés, ils interdisent d’ailleurs la consommation d’alcool pendant leurs journées dans leurs spots! MBOKO! MBOKO! MBOKO! Après s’être fait malmener en première manche, qu’elle a perdu 6-1, Mboko a renversé la vapeur et a remporté les deux dernières. Elle a même effacé une balle de match pour forcer le bris d’égalité. Zachariel Cossette-Leblanc, journaliste au Réseau Cogeco présent sur place, rapporte avoir vécu un moment de sport absolument inoubliable. Il souligne que Mboko connaissait déjà un excellent tournoi, mais ce soir, ce fut autre chose. Il s’agit de la plus jeune canadienne à se qualifier en finale de l’Omnium Banque Nationale. La dernière canadienne (et la seule, d’ailleurs) à s’être rendu en finale : Bianca Andreescu, en 2019, et elle avait même soulevé le fameux trophée à la fin de la rencontre… 1- Mikaël Kingsbury 2- Justine B Simard 3- Paul Caillé et Michael Foisy 4- Zachariel Cossette-Leblanc Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Étienne Boulay est véritablement un touche-à-tout. Il est copropriétaire d’un club de hockey en France, il a lancé les breuvages sans alcool Atypique en 2010 et possède même une entreprise de sac urbain avec le Groupe Bugatti! Invité aux Amateurs de Sports mardi soir, Boulay s’ouvre sur sa nouvelle carrière, après celle de footballeur professionnel. Il nous parle de l’importance de la famille dans sa vie, du sport féminin qui est en plein essor et de son amour pour la vie d’entrepreneur! «C’est la VickyMania à Montréal», souligne Hugues Léger, directeur général de Tennis Montréal, avec excitation sur nos ondes aujourd’hui. Léger revient sur les deux dernières victoires de Victoria Mboko lors de l’Omnium Banque Nationale, à Montréal. Selon lui, son talent est illimité et le potentiel top-10 est clairement présent. Il affirme, par ailleurs, que le match de demain face à Elena Rybakina sera tout un test (encore une fois) pour la jeune joueuse. Il s’agit tout de même d’une ancienne gagnante d’un tournoi du grand chelem. Léger nous confirme aussi qu’avec ses bonnes performances dans la métropole, Mboko fera partie du tableau principal au US OPEN. Qu’est-ce qui différencie un joueur de hockey élite d’un joueur de hockey récréatif? La mise en forme, oui. La préparation sur glace, oui. Deux excellentes réponses, mais nous pourrions en nommer une troisième, et non la moindre : la préparation mentale. Louis Bédard, coach mental de performance, est de passage en studio pour venir décortiquer le tout. Il se décrit d’ailleurs comme une personne ressource, que les joueurs peuvent appeler à toutes les heures de la journée. Il nous explique aussi que, selon lui, un des problèmes du hockey québécois dans les rangs mineures, c’est le conditionnement aux statistiques. Il rapporte que les jeunes se concentrent beaucoup trop sur leur récolte de points. Bédard rapporte qu’il souhaite former de solides joueurs, mais souhaite surtout les rendre solides dans la vie de tous les jours! Nous savions leurs chances plutôt minces, et c'est maintenant confirmé, le parcours du CF Montréal en Coupe des Ligues est maintenant terminé. Le club de Marco Donadel s’est incliné mardi soir 2 à 1, alors que le club mexicain Puebla FC était de passage au Stade Saputo. Wandrille Lefèvre, ancien joueur et expert soccer au Réseau Cogeco, était sur place et décortique avec nous la défaite du CFM. Il glisse aussi un mot sur la situation quelque peu difficile que vit (ou qu’a vécu) l’ancien joueur du CF Montréal, Ismael Koné. 1- Étienne Boulay 2- Hugues Léger 3- Louis Bédard 4- Wandrille Lefèvre Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Alors que la plus grande foule de l’année était rassemblée au Stade Percival-Molson pour le rendez-vous Alouettes-Roughriders, Montréal s’est véritablement fait piler. Aucun touché, limités à deux placements, les moineaux n’ont jamais été dedans. Déclassés dans toutes les sphères du jeu. Il faut dire que les hommes de Jason Maas n’affrontaient pas des deux de pique, Saskatchewan étant la meilleure équipe de la LCF. Bruno Heppell, spécialiste football au Réseau Cogeco, souligne qu’il serait capable d’excuser la défaite, mais n'excuse pas la façon. Heppell estime que les Alouettes se sont fait surprendre et que la prise de conscience sera importante et primordiale! Qu’ont en commun Porter Martone, Cole Reschny, Roger McQueen? Ils ont tous les trois décidé d’amener leurs talents chez nos voisins du nord, en NCAA, et donc de quitter la LCH. Nicola Riopel, ancien gardien de hockey, membre fondateur et président de l'agence de joueurs Propulsion, explique que cela enlève beaucoup de pression pour les agents de prendre une décision (trop ?) rapidement. Chez Propulsion, 24 des joueurs que Riopel gère jouent présentement en Europe. Riopel souligne que depuis quelques années, il trouve que le chemin pour aller en Europe est plus difficile que jamais, en raison du rajeunissement des ligues. À seulement 18 ans, Summer McIntosh est en train de réécrire les livres d'histoires. Ses performances impressionnantes et sa confiance inébranlable font d'elle une athlète hors norme. Lors des derniers mondiaux à Singapour, elle a remporté cinq médailles, dont quatre d’or. Elle est passée à un cheveu d’égaliser le record de cinq médailles d’or à un mondial, réalisé par Michael Phelps en 2007 à Melbourne. Simon Drouin, journaliste à La Presse, souligne son incroyable moteur, mais explique que McIntosh, étant super jeune, a encore énormément d’objectifs à atteindre. De plus, Drouin vient glisser un mot sur les excellentes courses d’Audrey Leduc lors des derniers championnats canadien d’athlétisme. Il souligne son bon état d’esprit lors de l’épreuve du 100m, elle qui est restée détendue tout au long de la course. Avec les récents succès des Blue Jays, l’engouement entourant la seule équipe de baseball canadienne dans la MLB est plus présent que jamais. Et donc, les Amateurs de Sports se devaient d’organiser une table ronde, spéciale Blue Jays! Nos deux invités : Jeremy Filosa et son compatriote, Gavino de Falco, les deux co-animent «Le podcast des Blue Jays».

It's a huge week in golf! The Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, marks the final stop before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with the top 70 players advancing after Sunday. Over on the women's side, the last major of the year—the AIG Women's Open—is underway at Royal Porthcawl. Henni Zuel from Sky Sports joins us shortly to break down the biggest storylines. We also flashback to rising stars: Augusta native Hamilton Coleman, who impressed at the 2022 Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals with a 232.6-yard drive, and 17-year-old Mia Hammond, who made history by winning the Greater Toledo Classic on the Epson Tour as an amateur—the eighth amateur ever to win on the tour!

La jeune joueuse de tennis, Leylah Fernandez, âgée de 22 ans, a vécu un début d’année 2025 en montagnes russes. Des hauts et des bas. Invité de dernière minute aux Amateurs de Sports, son entraîneur et père, Jorge Fernandez, est venu commenter la situation de sa fille, révélant un grave problème familial, mais souligne que Leylah ne s’est jamais plaint et a continué de persévérer. Elle a continué à se battre durant la maladie de sa sœur. Il met aussi la table pour l’Omnium BN de sa fille, qui vient d’ailleurs de remporter son premier titre, à Washington. La finale de la 14e édition de l’Euro féminin avait lieu le 27 juillet dernier, alors que les championnes en titre, les Anglaises, ont réussi le doublé, en battant les Espagnoles, favorites du tournoi. Claudine Douville, descriptrice des matchs de soccer à RDS, affirme que c’est un scénario digne d’Hollywood, alors que l’Angleterre est revenue de l’arrière plus d’une fois dans cet Euro. Douville se demande même combien de vies les Lionesses avaient ! Elle souligne aussi le très bon travail de l'entraîneuse de l’équipe anglaise Sarina Wiegman, qui vient de remporter son troisième Euro consécutif! La retraite attendra pour Eugénie Bouchard, alors que la canadienne a remporté son match de premier tour de son dernier tournoi en carrière, l’Omnium BN de Montréal, face à la colombienne, Emiliana Arango. Dans un Stade IGA survolté, Bouchard a réussi à vaincre son adversaire en trois manches. Hugues Léger, directeur général de Tennis Montréal, était sur place et affirme être très content que la fête puisse continuer pour Genie! Il est aussi revenu sur le problème familial qu’a connu la famille Fernandez dans les derniers mois et explique que cela met peut-être en perspective les derniers mois difficiles de Leylah. La 59e finale des Jeux du Québec s’est mise en branle le 25 juillet dernier et se déroulera jusqu’au 2 août prochain. Daphné Malboeuf, chroniqueuse Sports & Culture au Réseau Cogeco, est à Trois-Rivières pour couvrir l’évènement, envoyé sur place par RDS. Elle nous explique que les JDQ sont véritablement le rêve d’une vie pour les jeunes athlètes québécois. Malboeuf a d’ailleurs représenté sa région lors de l’édition de 2009, alors qu’elle faisait partie de l’équipe de ringuette! Malboeuf dénonce le fléau de la super-spécialisation des athlètes, mais aussi nous avoue qu’elle sent comme une vraie soccer mom présentement à Trois-Rivières!

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I came across a series of strident posts about the injustice associated with a non-amateur service using the 70cm band. Complete with links to discussions, spectrum plots, angst and even incoherent outrage, all related to the notion that whomever "allowed" this user to transmit on this band was clearly incompetent. Except, that this is probably not the case, or the full story. So, what's going on and why are people incensed? This all started at least six years ago. Since then AST SpaceMobile has deployed seven low Earth orbit satellites and used the 70cm band to communicate with them. Although in the trial phase, there's plans for an additional 243 satellites, and there's at least one other company playing in the same space, Atmos Space Cargo. The outcry from amateurs is around the commercial use of "their" 70cm amateur band. It's an emotional statement, but what is the reality? Before I dig in, let's set some terms. Radio frequencies are globally coordinated because electromagnetism doesn't care about sovereign borders. This coordination is conducted at the United Nations by a body called the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union. Within that body, amateur radio gets a seat at the table from an organisation called the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. For the purposes of the ITU, the world is divided into three, Region 1, or essentially Europe, Russia and Africa, Region 2, the Americas and Greenland, and Region 3, the rest of the world. There's more to it, for example, Antarctica is split across all three, but for the moment, that really doesn't matter. Of interest is that the band plan, the agreements that outline which frequencies are set aside for what service, might be defined differently across each of those three regions. To add complexity, each country can be granted exceptions. I don't know the exact mechanics of how this is achieved, but I can guarantee that there's lots of haggling and foot stomping, diplomatically of course. If you're curious how I come to that observation, just look at the absurd list of exceptions associated with each band plan allocation. Further complexity is added by the fact that not all allocations occupy the same frequency range. For example, in Region 1, the 2m band for Amateurs exists between 144 and 146 MHz, in Region 2 and 3 it's between 144 and 148 MHz. Within an allocation there is the concept of shared and exclusive priorities. These determine who "wins" if two stations with a different service are transmitting on the same frequency. Essentially, a secondary user may not interfere with a primary user and a tertiary user may not interfere with either a secondary or a primary user and so on. A primary user can pretty much do what they want, as long as they stay within the allocation and don't interfere with other primary users. As a result, the order in which services are listed, matters. An exclusive allocation doesn't have to be shared at all. Between regions these service priorities might not be the same. For example, in Region 1 between 430 and 432 MHz is allocated to Amateurs and Radio Location, but in Region 2 and 3 it's between Radio Location and Amateurs. So an amateur using that frequency whilst in Region 1 would be a primary user, but in Region 2 or 3 they wouldn't. As an added wrinkle, for example in Australia, that slice is "primarily for the purposes of defence and national security", even though Radio Location is the primary service and Amateurs the secondary one. As a bonus, amateurs in Australia have access to 420.8 to 421.2 MHz as a secondary service, even though the ITU designates this as Fixed, then Mobile, except Aeronautical Mobile, and then Radio Location. Although amateurs are a secondary service, they come after the Department of Defence who are the primary users for those frequencies in Australia. Between 420 and 430 MHz, and from 440 to 450 MHz in several countries, Australia included, the Amateur Service is explicitly designated as a secondary service even though the band plan doesn't actually show this. If you're confused, you're in good company, since this tapestry of regulation isn't as straightforward as the "70cm band is an amateur band", in fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's not an amateur band at all, except perhaps in Region 1 between 430 and 440 MHz where Amateur is designated as the non-exclusive primary service. Back to the blow up. AST was at one time authorised to use 430 to 440 MHz for trial purposes by a regulator in Region 2, the FCC, the United States Federal Communications Commission. I suspect that at the time, the Blue Walker 1 nano satellite was experimental and the approval made sense. You can argue that whomever initially allowed this made a mistake, but, reality is whatever the regulator says it is, unless someone at the ITU objects. It appears that the FCC has since been attempting to make AST comply, instead with billions of dollars at stake, AST continues to apply for more spectrum, which they apparently originally filed with the ITU through the Papua New Guinea administration. It's unclear if the FCC has since capitulated. There is evidence that the new commercial AST satellites are transmitting outside of their authorisation, euphemistically described as "IARU Uncoordinated". Ask yourself, how is it possible, or even allowable, that a regulator permits use of radio spectrum outside its borders and what penalties and remedies exist? The ground stations using these disputed frequencies are all outside the USA. One of the five ground stations is in my own city, Perth in Western Australia. I haven't noticed any discussion on this topic within my local community, even though this has been brewing for years. It does raise a bigger question. How is the band plan enforced? I mean, the 40m band is pretty much unusable in VK6 between sunset and midnight thanks to the fishing fleet of our northern neighbours, it's been like that for as long as I've been an amateur and I expect no change during my lifetime. How is this satellite fleet operating on the 70cm band any different? That said, I cannot help but wonder, will the originally authorised 50 kHz signal every eight seconds, not for phone calls to space, and only for 24 hours after launch or in the unlikely event of an emergency, for Telemetry, Tracking and Command, actually cause issues, or will it be an opportunity for radio amateurs to learn how to deal with interference? Speaking of interference and considering the allocated services, who is interfering with whom here and what priorities and remedies exist? Recently I talked about promotion, and the lack thereof, across our community. This is an example of promotion, and despite the uproar this week, a very poor example at that. Searching for "AST SpaceMobile", the oldest post I could find was on the German AMSAT, or Amateur Satellite forums back in September 2022 by Peter DB2OS who has been very active on this matter. His original post was in English, but went on to discuss the issue in German. I only found it after specifically looking for the names of the organisation involved. Peter's posts supplied links to many of the documents I consulted. Despite having links to specific pages, I found no search results for "AST SpaceMobile" on the websites for the regulators in the US, UK, Germany or Australia, and none on the ARRL, RSGB or DARC. The WIA produced two glowing news reports around the beginning of 2023 about this wonderful new mobile phone service. No mention of the 70cm band. The only active discussions appear to be the German and UK AMSAT forums, that and all the glowing investor posts. In other words. This is the equivalent of publishing the information at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri, 50 years before the event and hoping for a good outcome. As a potential path forward, in January 2023 the German regulator forced AST to shut off 70cm operations whilst it was within radio visibility of Germany. I don't know if that's still in effect, or how and if it's being enforced. It appears that AST has been lobbying for the use of this spectrum for a long time, not just the 340 page submission made last month. For example, NASA made its first response to this satellite constellation in October 2020. It appears that the WIA responded four years later, but I have yet to see it, and this week the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs, the ARRL, and RSGB added theirs. The IARU issued a statement this week too. The fact that we're still arguing about it over half a decade later is a good indication that how we're responding as a global community is clearly ineffectual. Perhaps that is what we should be arguing stridently about. So, where do you stand on this? Should something be done about this, and if-so, what, and more importantly, how? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

John Niven is a Scottish author and screenwriter known for his darkly comic, satirical novels. Born in Ayrshire in 1966, he studied English Literature at the University of Glasgow before spending a decade in the music industry. This experience inspired his breakout novel, Kill Your Friends (2008), a biting satire of the late-1990s music business. The book earned widespread acclaim for its brutal honesty and sharp wit, and was later adapted into a film for which Niven co-wrote the screenplay. His other works include The Amateurs, The Second Coming, Straight White Male, and O Brother, showcasing his distinctive blend of humour, cynicism, and moral insight. In addition to novels, Niven has written for film and journalism, often exploring themes of fame, failure, and modern hypocrisy. Known for his outspoken political views, Niven remains a provocative and influential voice in contemporary British literature and culture.

Part 1 It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han Summary"It's Not Summer Without You" is the second book in Jenny Han's "Summer" series, which follows the life of Isabel “Belly” Conklin as she navigates her complicated feelings for her longtime crush, Jeremiah Fisher, and his brother, Conrad.The story picks up after the events of the first book. Belly has spent a summer in the past at the beach house belonging to the Fishers, but this time it's different. The summer is overshadowed by the sudden passing of Belly's mother, as well as the deepening emotional turmoil between Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. At the beginning of the book, Belly feels lost without her mother and struggles with her grief. She has been harboring feelings for Conrad, who has pushed her away, leaving her heartbroken. As the narrative progresses, we see Belly trying to deal with her conflicted emotions and her relationships with both brothers. Jeremiah, who represents friendship and comfort, tends to be more openly affectionate and supportive, while Conrad embodies a more complicated, brooding persona that causes Belly more pain due to his emotional distance. The setting of the beach house serves as a backdrop for Belly's journey of self-discovery and healing. The annual summer traditions are disrupted by the struggles the characters face, but they also provide moments of nostalgia and bittersweet memories as Belly reflects on her childhood and her relationships.As the story unfolds, Belly learns important lessons about love, loss, and the importance of moving forward in life. The book examines themes of family, friendship, and growing up, while Belly ultimately has to choose between the safety and friendship that Jeremiah offers and the intense but complicated love she shares with Conrad. Overall, "It's Not Summer Without You" is a heartfelt exploration of the challenges that accompany growing up, the pain of loss, and the complexity of teenage romance, setting the stage for the concluding book in the series.Part 2 It's Not Summer Without You AuthorJenny Han is an American author and the co-author of the popular young adult series "To All the Boys I've Loved Before."

The Busy Beaver Challenge, an open online collaboration, started in 2022 to finally solve a major problem in theoretical computer science. Over time, the online community grew to include more than 20 contributors from around the world, most of them without traditional academic credentials. In July 2024, the group announced that they finally solved the puzzle, bringing a conclusion to over 40 years of effort. On this week's episode of The Quanta Podcast, computer science staff writer Ben Brubaker explains the tantalizing Busy Beaver puzzle, which he covered in depth last year, in “With Fifth Busy Beaver, Researchers Approach Computation's Limits.” Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the minds behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche take a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable—but—essential parts of being a developer: developer feedback. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, they revisit their past topics and uncover new insights on how feedback, communication, and mindset shape stronger, more collaborative developers. AI's Perspective: Developer Feedback as a Growth Tool Rob kicks off the episode by sharing how they asked ChatGPT to structure a show around developer feedback. The AI delivered a simple but powerful reminder: Feedback isn't criticism. It's a tool for growth. Key Takeaway: “Professionals seek feedback. Amateurs avoid it.” By reframing feedback as data rather than a personal critique, developers can use it to refine their skills, just as they would when debugging their code. Rob emphasizes that real-time, in-person code reviews often reveal more than written comments. They provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, cross-training, and discovering undocumented project details. Creating a Safe Space for Developer Feedback Michael reminds listeners that developer feedback works best in a safe and collaborative environment. Taking a breath before reacting allows you to absorb feedback objectively. Pro Tip: Treat feedback as input to improve — not a personal attack. However, Michael cautions against over-relying on constant feedback. While it's essential for growth, too much can erode confidence. Effective developers seek feedback purposefully and filter out noise. Code Reviews: The Most Overlooked Feedback Tool Both hosts stress the value of regular code reviews as an essential form of developer feedback: They catch errors early Enforce coding standards Reduce duplication and dead code Provide cross-training for the team Michael's Advice: “If your code changes are too big to review efficiently, your process needs adjusting.” Regular, focused code reviews keep teams aligned, enhance code quality, and enable developers to learn from one another. Beyond Code: Communicating with Non-Developers Rob reminds us that actual growth comes not just from technical feedback but from communicating effectively with non-developers. Whether it's labeling input fields clearly or translating technical issues for business stakeholders, every interaction shapes project success. Developer Feedback in Action: Understanding your users' language makes your product better — and prevents avoidable frustration. How to Process Developer Feedback Without Ego The hardest part of handling developer feedback? Managing your emotions. Rob and Michael outline how to stay grounded: Don't react — review, digest, reflect Ask clarifying questions without defensiveness Look for patterns across multiple feedback sources By approaching feedback with curiosity rather than ego, developers grow faster and foster stronger teams. Final Thoughts: Winning Through Listening Rob closes with timeless advice: “The person who talks the least in a meeting often wins.” Listening more — to peers, customers, and users — leads to better feedback, fewer misunderstandings, and stronger products. Developer Feedback may be uncomfortable, but it remains one of the fastest, most effective ways to grow as a developer. Combined with AI tools, code reviews, and intentional communication, feedback turns everyday frustrations into long-term success.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are four seasoned infantry task force seniors. LTC Andy Smith is the TF Senior for Task Force 2 (IN BN) with ten rotations as an Observer – Coach – Trainer and six rotations as a rotational training unit. LTC Matt Bandi is the TF Senior for Task Force 3 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and four rotations as RTU. LTC(P) Timothy Price is the TF Senior for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) with twenty-one rotations as an OCT and seven rotations as RTU. And LTC Chuck Wall is the TF Senior for Task Force 1 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and five rotations as RTU. This episode of The Crucible centers on the raw, uncompromising realities of infantry warfighting in the LSCO environment, drawing directly from firsthand observations at JRTC. The discussion highlights how success on the modern battlefield is built on a foundation of small-unit fundamentals—movement, marksmanship, reporting, and rehearsals. Leaders emphasize that doctrinal clarity and simplicity at the squad and platoon level remain decisive, especially under pressure from drone surveillance, EW interference, and contested logistics. Units that survive and win are those that maintain discipline in their fieldcraft: they camouflage well, rehearse everything, and operate with a combat mindset that anticipates disruption rather than being surprised by it.   The conversation also underscores the importance of deliberate leadership placement, effective use of terrain, and clarity in commander's intent. Fieldcraft isn't just about staying hidden—it's about moving smart, planning for degraded comms, and sustaining yourself under fire. Leaders describe how critical it is for junior NCOs and officers to own their piece of the battlefield, from shaping local security zones to enforcing LOGSTAT discipline. The episode drives home that modernization won't compensate for a lack of tactical proficiency—and that high-tech tools like sUAS, ATAK, or digital fires architecture only matter if teams have mastered the analog skills to shoot, maneuver, communicate, and survive under stress.   Remember, Professionals train for the fight—they rehearse under pressure, refine fundamentals, and prepare for the worst-case scenario. Amateurs train until they get it right; professionals train until they can't get it wrong. In LSCO, that difference means survival.   Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Legitimacy of Test Matches early on2. Fast Bowling Quartet3. Decline in Spin bowling4. Overperformance of Captains while they are Captains5. Resilience of Test Playing Nations to play after long gaps6. Role of Amateurs and Professionals in Cricket's long history7. Moral Victories8. Lovely references on Aesthetics of batting in the book9.

Boire du vin comme un pro : les 5 erreurs que je vois tout le temps (même chez les amateurs passionnés) J'observe souvent les mêmes erreurs. Elles semblent anodines… mais elles peuvent transformer un bon vin en expérience frustrante. Voici celles que je rencontre le plus souvent : - Servir à mauvaise température : un vin trop froid ou trop chaud = cela joue sur l'expression aromatique et la texture en bouche - Remplir le verre à ras bord : moins d'oxygénation, moins d'arômes - Aller trop vite : la dégustation demande du temps, de l'attention - Négliger le contexte : lumière, bruit, posture… tout compte - Conserver le vin trop longtemps ouvert : oxydation et altération rapide Ce sont des détails… mais ce sont eux qui font la différence. Si vous formez, servez ou dégustez du vin régulièrement, gardez ces repères en tête. Et partagez-les autour de vous ! Pour une analyse détaillée (et les solutions à chaque erreur), ma vidéo complète est en ligne ici et sur ma chaine: Boire du vin comme un pro : les 5 erreurs à éviter Et vous, quelle erreur voyez-vous le plus souvent autour de vous ? Ou celle que vous avez vous-même longtemps faite sans vous en rendre compte ?

Send us a textJason Yee has extensive work experience in various industries involving health, fitness, and performance. Jason founded Train 2.0 in February 2017, an incredible hockey teaching platform that I have arguably benefitted from.Growing up in a small town in British Columbia, Canada, Jason was determined to make it to the NHL. When he wasn't scouted at the age of 18, frustration turned into determination, and then into an obsession with finding a better way to learn and develop as a hockey player. That obsession led Jason to study kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, where he graduated near the top of his class for his thesis on player selections and the process of making a hockey team. He later put his training and research to the test by playing professional hockey in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).Jason is also the founder of his newest project, Arrow Supplements, who produce a Magnesium Bisglycinate supplement, which is the most absorbable, most researched, and most recommended magnesium. Arrow Supplement's mission is to cut through the noise of the supplement industry with honesty and simplicity.Find Jason at-https://train2point0.com/https://www.arrowsupplements.com/https://www.grantme.ca/Find Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

One of the world's most storied newsrooms is opening its doors to anyone with an opinion and a laptop. B.C. now stands for Building infrastruCture. (Okay, that was a stretch, but you get the gist.) 

Andy and Brendan are in high spirits for this "Victory Wednesday" recording focused on the Canadian Open. The two discuss the results from "Golf's Longest Day" of U.S. Open qualifying. Amateurs lit some sites up, Cam Young advanced in a playoff, and Zac Blair found his way in at Springfield yet again. There's some LinkedIn chatter after "dental coach" Matt Vogt advanced to Oakmont from the Walla Walla, Washington site. Andy and Brendan ponder whether big-name players that failed to qualify at east-coast events should have flown out to the west coast to play different competition. The two then move to the RBC Canadian Open, where Luke Clanton will debut as a pro and Rory McIlroy re-emerged after his interesting week at Quail Hollow. Andy and Brendan discuss Rory's pre-tournament press conference and his comments about his driver failing testing at the PGA and the ensuing decision to not speak with the media after any tournament round. PJ pops in to preview the American Family Insurance Championship, a Champs Tour team event, before Brendan gives his "Event of the Week" to this week's DP World Tour stop in Amsterdam. In news, the Fireballs have a new signing and Scottie Scheffler is officially headed to Bethpage!

La journaliste Véronique Mortaigne publie « Brésils, Éloge de la déraison », une traversée ébouriffante d'un pays et d'un peuple, habile à s'extraire du chaos. (Rediffusion) « Qu'est-ce que le Brésil ? ». Une amie me répond, sans hésitation : « La plage ». Elle n'a pas tort. Jamais ennuyeuse, la plage au Brésil est un lieu unique.

Le Brésil a été béni des dieux. De plein de dieux, noirs, blonds, catholiques, le tout fusionné avec les orishas, les divinités vaudoues, et agrémenté de la cosmologie indigène.

Un mélange de charme, de sensualité, de pouvoir d'attraction, de capacité à créer des situations bordéliques et enchantées.
