Why? Why are you successful at everything you do? Why did you purchase that expensive product? Why did you react to the situation like that? As Larry recaps his last episodes we take a look at the driving force behind all action and reaction. We understand the driving force of Bobby Lieb from episode 57 & the reason why he has experienced great success at everything he does. We uncover the science behind why you buy that product you don't really need through learning about advertising from Admanity in Episode 58. And hear about an upcoming guest who has reached success through the simplicity of never bringing preconceived notions into problem solving.

What do a plane crash survivor and a plastic surgeon have in common? As Larry recaps his latest episodes with Dave Sanderson, the Hudson River plane crash survivor and Dr. Maffi, plastic surgeon; the common threads of life, perception & judgment reveal their importance to any life situation. For better or worse our lives are shaped by the perceptions we have and often times those perceptions are based on judgments we have made or that have been taught to us. How would our perception change if we released those judgments? Listen to the full episode and find out!

This week I break down the six foundations of fat loss with personal trainer and podcast host Larry Doyle. Larry has some great simple tips to boost your fat loss and improve your mood, energy and sex life too! According to Larry food isn’t as important as you might think. It’s all about sleep, stress management, digestion, exercise, and mental wellbeing. Only when you have looked at all those things is it time to examine your food intake. Larry is all about sustainable progress and making small changes: ‘The World Health Organisation recommend 150-300 minutes per week of exercise, of ANY exercise that involves getting your hearth-rate up for a sustained period, it doesn’t need to be heavy or hard training.’ We also talk about the importance of proper digestion. As Larry says ‘poop right, feel great. It’s important to have a good environment and remember to chew sufficiently and avoid eating while you are stressed.’ For more episodes, tips and advice from the show just go to: www.independent.ie/podcasts/the-re…health-podcast/ And you can get in touch - I’m @KarlHenryPT on Instagram and Twitter and realhealth@independent.ie.

Emon Motamedi is the Founder of Florian, a community of alumni helping new students pay for school without loans and provide them with personalized mentoring to help them get ahead in their careers. Florian does more than provide student-friendly funding for tuition, they have a network of experts rooting for their students. Emon explains a bit more about what Florian does and how they're different from other competitors in the space. Key Takeaways Why did Emon leave Reddit to start his company, Florian? Emon shares what Florian does and how it helps students pay for school without going into massive debt. Florian is different compared to other student loan providers because they are tied to the outcome of the student. How much future earnings does an alumnus pay to Florian investors? So many students end up graduating from university and they don’t even know how to interview for a job. Florian closes that gap by providing critical mentoring skills to help students succeed after school. How does Emon vet the students and know that they will work towards graduating with their intended degree they’re helping sponsor? If a student wants to get out of this agreement, how can they do that? What kinds of loans is Florian competing against in this space? These students have a head start to get into a great career and improve their career earnings for the long haul. As Larry’s a parent of college-aged students, he sees a direct need for this kind of service. The sky’s the limit on the types of career paths these students can choose from. Emon has a community of over 200 volunteers helping mentor students. As Florian continues to grow, Emon is really excited about the future of the career development arm within his company and finding unique ways to improve this process to better help the students.

What happens when the pandemic ends? Naturally, there’s an inevitable rush and expectation to go back to business as usual. But, surprise! So much of a successful channel partner’s go-to-market strategy doesn’t always immediately revert back to pre-COVID times. As Larry and many others are surmising, COVID did not create a change or even spark new transformation. Rather, the pandemic and the world’s various responses have just accelerated what was already happening.  What kind of environment does this evolution of channelnomics really create?  How does it impact partners’ selling motion, marketing motion, and revenue generation? Join us for another eye-opening conversation on what happens when partners realize that while the “new” reality may still be new, the wheels have been in motion well before COVID and buyers are better off for it.

Welcome to episode number 90 of the Content Strategy Insights podcast. I'm really happy today to have with us Sabine Ocker. Sabine is an enterprise information architect. She's currently working at Comtech, a consulting firm. Welcome, Sabine. Tell the folks a little bit more about what you do there at Comtech and what an enterprise information architect does. Sabine: Well, hello, Larry and thank you very much for the invitation to appear here on this prestigious podcast. And hello podcast listeners out there. As Larry mentioned, my name is Sabine Ocker and I'm a longtime enterprise information architect. And the way that I think about that is that usually that means that I might be centered in an engineering organization or in an information development organization. But the work that I do especially around taxonomies and metadatas, really does extend into the tool realm. Having the business drivers of metadata be manifested in the authoring environment and then also be surfaced and exposed and being processable by the delivery platform and the tools and being sort of that facilitator that writes the requireme...

Larry Burns advises organizations on the future of mobility, logistics, manufacturing, energy and innovation.  His current clients include Waymo, Goodyear and Kitson & Partners.  Larry served as General Motors Corporate Vice President of Research & Development and Planning from 1998-2009. Between 2010 and 2016, Larry was Professor of Engineering Practice at the University of Michigan, Director of the Program for Sustainable Mobility at Columbia University, and an advisor to several major companies. Larry is the author of Autonomy: The Quest to Build The Driverless Car—And How It Will Reshape Our World (with Christopher Shulgan and published by Ecco / HarperCollins on August 28, 2018). Inside the Episode: (05:02): Larry starts us off with a brief history of his upbringing and how it influenced his passion for travel.  (12:44): We begin our discussion on autonomous technologies and how Larry began his career as a contributor to these technological advancements.  (14:40): As Vice President of Research and Development for General Motors, Larry was met with a life changing question by GM’s CEO. As Larry explains, this question influenced Larry’s philosophical outlook on what it meant to develop and manufacture an automobile and contributed to new developments around electric vehicle design. (20:40): What do YOU hate about travel?! Long lines, expensive airfare, overpriced hotels, and the time you spend moving between destinations?? Well, autonomous technology appears to be the solutions to those problems. In the not too distant future, the annoying aspects of travel will likely become more enjoyable as our cars turn into autonomous hotels on wheels and humans start to opt for their autonomous transport vessels over expensive crowded airplanes and public transit. (35:25): Is it better to have autonomously driven vehicles instead of manually driven cars?  39:50: How will autonomous tech decrease the financial burden of owning a car? Similar to your Netflix subscription and how the Uber app operates, you may be ordering an autonomous travel vehicle in the very near future. So, while you’re sitting back letting the car drive itself, maybe think about what you can do with all that extra cash!  50:00: When will autonomous vehicles be an everyday reality?

Ex Prisoner Larry Lawton and his ex Prison Guard reunite and discuss their days together on opposite sides in Federal Prison FCI Jesup and what re-entry was like.. As Larry says, he was a good guard who treated prisoners fairly. He later served time for smuggling contraband to earn money to pay medical bills. Something the Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn't like.

In this Episode of Biz Pointz TV, host Larry Kortkamp interviews Corey Kirkendoll, with 5K Technical Services. Larry points out that Corey is an MSP. Corey explains that MSP stands for Managed Service Provider, which means that his company provides everything needed for full IT infrastructure. This includes keeping everything running, from the phones to technological security and everything that is technology based. As Larry states, businesses need a professional to help with technology rather than trying to do it themselves in order to save money. 5K Technical Services helps businesses not compromise on their technology efforts due to budget constraints. They provide a quality service for a reasonable rate. Building relationships with customers is of utmost importance. He says that by understanding where the client wants to go with their business and getting to know the employees, they develop a partnership with them. This allows 5K Technical Services to understand the client’s system and be proactive about handling IT maintenance. One way they partner with their clients is by doing a quarterly virtual CIO meeting to discuss the upcoming needs of the company’s IT infrastructure such as patches, user training, moving assistance, etc. This is the large difference between management of a business’s IT needs and someone who does point-in-time fixes and only comes in to troubleshoot an IT issue.Have a comprehensive plan for onboarding clients’ new employees, including phone, computer, and email address set up. The same concept applies when an employee leaves the organization, which is offboarding. They also want to make sure that the clients’ employees are properly trained and that the business is properly protected.From a cyber security standpoint, Corey says they make sure they have a business continuity plan in place and have proper security access protocols. They also implement a simple password policy: create a simple phrase and change out a few of the characters. This helps the user remember the password while also creating smart passwords. Corey says that nothing is 100%, but putting these things in place is risk averse. He ensures that security is their number one thing.Corey can be reached www.5ktech.com or by phone at 469-656-3159.To work with The Kortkamp Group, find guest, advertising, or sponsor information, contact 972-824-8001, or go to KortkampGroup.com.Production and programming information for the OBBM Network can be found by calling 214-714-0495.

There are few people who have thought more about pandemics than epidemiologist Larry Brilliant. He worked with the World Health Organization to eradicate smallpox. He’s fought polio and blindness in India. And, in his 2006 TED Prize talk, he warned the audience that a pandemic was coming “within your children or your grandchildren's lifetime.”He was right. What he couldn’t predict, though, was how mismanaged our response would be – and how quickly we’d set aside the lessons we learned defeating smallpox.

Larry Hobbs is an Italian American who grew up in North Carolina. He is an Army Veteran who considers himself a late bloomer, coming to the practice of yoga after turning 50. We walk through Larry's chaotic childhood — his mother doesn't speak English and he doesn't speak Italian, a tour in Vietnam, (his discovery that he didn't have PTSD from the war, he had it from home), and his practice of martial arts. After his discovery of Ashtanga Yoga he learned from many senior teachers, notably the legendary Annie Pace, and ultimately found himself in Mysore, India, the bedrock of Ashtanga yoga, in 2008. Now, nearing 70, Larry has learned about how to maintain his practice through a spinal surgery, a hip replacement, and has adjusted his practice to accommodate an aging body. You'll love listening to Harmony, Russell and Larry colloquially reminisce their memories from Mysore and about some of the idiosyncratic Senior Ashtanga teachers they've met along the way. As Larry was just in Mysore earlier this year, you will hear about his impressions of the New Sharath Yoga Shala and the younger community that continues to flourish there.

Edge computing's benefits to data security, latency and bandwidth are making possible a host of new use cases across a swathe of industries. WWT's new research, conducted with Analysys Mason, reveals the scale of the Edge opportunity by highlighting 30 use cases expected to deliver significant revenues and that really is just the tip of the iceberg. Making these use cases a reality is the topic of the final podcast in our series on Edge computing for telecoms service providers, created by WWT in partnership with Telecoms.com. In this episode, Telecoms.com editor Scott Bicheno is joined by WWT's EMEA Chief Technologist for Service Providers Daniel Valle and Intel’s Senior Solution Architect Larry Horner. Their conversation gets into the nitty-gritty, exploring what enterprises are already doing with Edge, taking in examples such as high-resolution cameras in industrial QA and data security in remote healthcare. They discuss what makes Edge so well suited to these applications, and why telcos are essential to their success. As Larry says, no-one's data gets to the cloud without going through service providers. But the opportunity is much greater than that. This discussion highlights why telcos should look to move from offering connectivity to providing use cases and outcomes, and how the right partnerships can help them turn the complex ecosystem of Edge hardware, software and connectivity into enterprise-ready platforms and solutions.

Larry welcomes back Neil Mezzella as the two talk carpenter ants, termite swarms, and rats in paradise, plus Larry has a couple of tips for the pest control owners. As Larry wonders aloud about the new legal realities for guys running a business, for instance what happens when you send a guy into a home to do a job and the guy comes down with the Rona? Meanwhile, Neil theorizes about the motivations of the mayors, governors and other officials who just kinda seem to be thinking about something other than saving lives. No lockdown can hold back the Ex-exterminator Comedian Larry Izzo from bringing the show and these guys are always great together.

Larry “The Legend” Ferlazzo joins us today to discuss the impact that distance learning has had on the nation’s 4.9 million English Language Learners. The prolific blog writer, author of 12 books including the ELL Teacher’s Toolbox, and current high school teacher Larry Ferlazzo helps us unpack the challenges educators face in meeting the needs of English Language Learners right now, and how schools can best support students under these less than ideal circumstances. As Larry’s work has also appeared in publications like the NY Times and Education Week, we also discuss Larry’s journey from community organizer to the classroom and the importance of educator voice in policy debates and public discourse around education. Plus, a major metropolitan school district adopts the “Give them all A’s” policy! ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** SEMINAR: - Serving ELLs with Larry Ferlazzo (9:46) - Larry Ferlazzo on Edublog.org: https://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/about/ - Classroom Q&A with Larry Ferlazzo on Education Week: http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/ - Find Larry’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Larry-Ferlazzo/e/B0028OK9ZW - Instructional Strategies for the ELL Teacher Toolbox (Ed Week video): https://video.edweek.org/detail/videos/teaching-and-learning/video/5773984531001/instructional-strategies-for-an-%E2%80%98ell-teacher-s-toolbox%E2%80%99?autoStart=true&cmp=cpc-goog-ew-dynamic+ads&ccid=dynamic+ads&ccag=english+language+learners+dynamic&cckw=&cccv=dynamic+ad&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl7n6-s6E6QIVHx-tBh2X5AGJEAAYASAAEgIoY_D_BwE Get MORE All of the Above: Website - https://aotashow.com/ Podcast via Apple Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-of-the-above-podcast/id1339198232 Podcast via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4NO3FENVr96JJTU4ZjdnCm Podcast via Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/aotashow Podcast via Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/all-of-the-above-show/all-of-the-above?refid=stpr Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/AOTAshow/

My favorite part of this podcast episode is that it is everything I expected it to be, and I had set the standard very, very high.. Larry Walkmeeyer is the Lead Pastor of Light and Life Christian Fellowship in Long Beach, CA. Larry is also author of one of my favorite books of 2020, The Mobilization Flywheel. The heart of this episode with Larry is centered around multiplication, disciple-making, leading people to be on mission for the kingdom. Notice we didn't say "on mission for the church", but "for the kingom." It's interesting how those two get confused sometimes. As Larry and I dig into the conversation, hopefully you'll begin to see that "normal" as we knew it February 2020 is gone, and that's okay, cause I believe God has something better in store for His bride.

A few weeks ago, there was a fascinating piece about the controversial NFL receiver Antonio Brown. Of course, anything about Antonio Brown is fascinating—his behavior in the last several months has cost him something like $40M in guaranteed money and taken the best wide receiver in the game out of the game, possibly forever. But what’s worth taking note of in this piece, for any dad or stepdad, are two seemingly inconsequential remarks by Larry Moss, Brown’s stepfather. Brown and his brothers, Desmond and Eddie, would often try to intervene in arguments between their mom, Adrianne Moss, and Larry—arguments Larry attributes to trying to parent Antonio.Larry Moss, Brown's stepfather, says Brown started staying out late and sneaking off with cars around the age of 14, with a "no respect" attitude that contributed to his leaving the Miami Gardens home. As Larry remembers it, he and Brown's mother even lived in separate homes at times because of friction between him and Brown.Imagine that. 17 years later this guy is still pointing the finger at a child for the troubles in his marriage. And he’s so shameless about it, he’s willing to put it on the record to ESPN. This is not what dads do—even if they do have difficult children, even if they are stressed and overwhelmed by being a father or stepfather. We have to follow Marcus Aurelius’ advice always: “Blame yourself or no one.” Your spouse is not the problem. Your job is not the problem. The economy is not why you’re stressed. It’s not the weather. The fact that the house is a mess is not your kid’s fault. The fact that their grades are slipping is not their fault. That’s not why your marriage is struggling. You’re the problem. Your systems are the problem. Your parenting is the problem. Focus on that. It’s the only thing you control. It’s your job to take the blame. It’s your job to help fix it.

As Larry celebrates his birthday, we have decided to release a special review of a game Larry has been bouncing around in his head for awhile. How does "Limbo" hold up almost a decade later, and how scary did we find it? Listen and find out!!

When I first started this podcast four and a half years ago, there was an immediate onslaught of suggestions for shows I should do and guests that I should have on. One suggestion which I got always stuck in my mind. I was told get “Larry from Yelp” and that was all they would say except that “Everybody knows Larry.” Except apparently me. Time passed, and eventually I met the legendary “Larry from Yelp” who is none other than local celebrity Larry McClements, it seems, “Everybody knows him.” Larry McClements has been a resident of Santa Clarita since 1985. He graduated from Hart High. He is known as part of the Santa Clarita foodies and is a big fan of cooking his own meals. As Larry describes it: “One day I discovered farmers’ markets and my mind was immediately blown.” Larry became a fanatic for connecting directly with farmers and having access to produce at high quality. He is now the current manager of the Newhall Farmers’ Market which happens on Saturday mornings at the Old Town Newhall Library parking lot. Larry has set a mission for himself to find only the best products for his market. Now, I am anything but a foodie. I put on The Food Network when I want to find something to put me to sleep. So honestly, I was skeptical about how much Larry and could talk about a farmers’ market, but hey, if I can do an entire show about bread with Scott Ervin, why not? I was truly surprised by how interested about food I became while talking to Larry. His passion for the subject is infectious and I walked away bound and determined to only buy at farmers’ markets in the future.

God is dead, Nietzsche once famously declared. Well Vin has something to say about that. And that something is "nuh uh!". Now free from Prae's simulation, the party needs some bones reset and muscles fixed, but not to worry, Larry's no stranger when dealing with a dead body. Oh, they're not dead? Well that changes up the usuals for the night. Larry's pub is front and center this episode, and his band, bunkbeds, ballpits, and drinks are all very cool and noble. In fact, the usuals from him tonight are so good it'll lead you to (Human Dragon) Jesus. Or maybe Big Heph. As Larry once famously declared, God is mead.

The cavnessHR Culture Podcast – A talk with Larry Naylor – President/COO of Naylor 2 Enterprise, LLC (N2E) – SDVOSB https://www.cavnessHR.com Larry's Social Media!! Website: https://www.naylor2enterprise.com/ Larry's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ldnaylor/ Larry's Resources!! For anyone that reaches out to us. Let us know that they're looking for an opportunity to receive some awesome transformational leadership initiatives in their organization. If they contact us and let us know that they heard this in relation to this podcast, we are going to provide discounts to them for that. Daniella Larry is the President and Chief Operations Officer for Naylor 2 Enterprise. N2E is a Veteran and Minority-owned small business that provides corporate training, development and administrative management consulting services to U.S. and international organizations. At N2E, he's responsible for the conduct and business operations of global transformative leadership and consulting service initiatives. Earlier in his career, Larry gained extensive leadership experience while serving 20 years as a commissioned officer in the army, where you retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. He spent 13 years with L three Technologies, Inc, a $10 billion company where he was the Director of Training and operations for global trade and master trainer. Responsible for providing leadership training to 38,000 employee infrastructure. So Larry is like super leadership guy. He's probably the most qualified leadership guy we've had on our podcast so far. He's got a bachelor's, Master's, all kinds of training certificates, most recently got a coaching certification from Georgetown, I believe. Larry is very active in several different organizations, including the Society for Human Resource Management, Association of United States Army, and the Society for International Affairs. So Larry, can you tell us something that you are working on these days? That is super exciting? Larry Absolutely Daniella, I would have to say several things are going on right now. But what most exciting is to be able to work specifically for a law enforcement agency. We are working to put together a leadership program. What that program does is it's transforming the department. To see that happening right in front of your eyes, where people from the sheriff down to the sergeant are realizing that there is a better way to do things and to watch them self transform. To recognize that wait a minute, I am. I am I'm different. Because I see myself now I'm, this is amazing. It's exciting, not barring the fact that leadership when you look at the essence of leadership, and when you sit people down and talk to them about the importance of it, and how you can see the lights come on.  Daniella It's so interesting that you mentioned law enforcement, and people tend to think of law enforcement teams, military teams, as some of these very high-speed organizations as Oh, they're just great teams, right? They're great teams, they have great leaders, they don't need to work on it. But you're saying that they do need to work on and they are working on it, which is great. Larry Absolutely. I think most organizations realize once someone comes in, and there's a moment of silence, and it allows them to reflect on who they think they are, as opposed to who and what they should be. They do realize that we probably could do some changing here. Especially in law enforcement organizations. Maybe we should think about looking at another way of doing things, approaching people talking to people and things like that. I think the military is doing that and, of course, I'm a few years removed now. But I'm hearing out there in the winds that the winds of change are starting to blow where the old school military of because I said so is changing now to be more encompassing of the group. Bottom line the mission still needs to happen. But just because you ask others, instead of just telling them and commanding them. Once you ask them, they will probably follow you with the same zeal, purpose and commitment. Because they feel like you love them enough to ask them their opinion and allow them to do it. So I think that's where we're headed. Daniella It's interesting, the bottom line is the mission still needs to happen in any corporation, right. But a strong culture and a strong team is going to get you to your mission so much faster. I think what the modern sort of leadership is starting to learn, and it's starting to realize. think in the military for the longest time in the in sort of the special disciplines, we already knew that. Right? So in intelligence, which is what I did, we knew that I can order how much can I order my guy to analyze and give me the best information? Not much, right? If he's not motivated to do it he can order a bare minimum of outcomes. But you can inspire kind of a lot more and if you let the experts live in their expertise like they will give you so much more information than you even want. Larry Yeah, that's true. That is true. Daniella Okay, so Larry, you became an Officer in the Army, the year before I was born. You retired a few years before I commissioned. Which means for the listeners that even though Larry and I are comrades in arms, we both served in pretty different militaries. As Larry kind of already alluded to. So Larry, as we heard, is now basically a leadership expert. He was telling me about some of the changes that he's noticed in the definition and practice of leadership over the years. Can you tell us a little bit more about that, whether that was your time in the military or your time in the corporate sector. Larry So as you said, Daniella, I started out in 86 and my first assignment was in Germany. That's the whole Cold War era. I'm a 23 year old kid out of college. I was taught and bred to do what needs to be done, salute the flag, make it happen. I grew up through that time, from the wall, the Cold War, the wall coming down, and then through Gulf War One, and into 911 and deploying into Afghanistan, 101st, in 911. So I think my career spans a lot of different things in there. A lot in a short amount of time. In that 20 years, we went from cold war all the way to post 911.  Larry So what I've what I learned as I continue to mature in the military, I grew up in an environment where you just do what you're told to do. You don't necessarily question, you just execute. You do that, well, you succeed. Then you go to the next level, and you expect everybody under you to do the same thing and they execute and it just works. I will say, when I moved from Afghanistan, coming into the Department of State, I spent about five years there at State Department, I had just left Afghanistan, and I flew back to the United States. There I was, and the environment was different. The language was different and the actions were different.  Larry I struggled because I didn't understand that there was a transformation that was taking place from the military side to coming to the United States Department of State. The leadership styles were different and then from there, I went to corporate America. The leadership styles were absolutely different. I would say that I kind of lived through that to state government, local government, excuse me to federal government, and then to defense contracting. I realized that leadership is distinctly different in each one of those areas. But ultimately, today, after I had an opportunity to teach leadership, to, as you said, a 38,000 employee organization. I live leadership and probably didn't even realize how much you learn and gleaned out of being a military person over the years being thrust into it. Today, after understanding and believing that this is my calling, now. I do see that there are different ways to lead. I have started to look at the transformational leader. Larry If you can't love me, you can't lead me. Now, most people would say, I don't believe in that touchy feely part of things. Just do what I say, well, love has a big meaning. Love means, do you love me enough to whereas the leader, would you sacrifice yourself for me. Would the leader sacrifice themselves, so others may gain versus sacrificing others so that they gain? That's one of the things that I think is really important. As we get into this new type of leadership, we start to realize that you can't lead the way you used to. We're in an organization, we're in a time where four generations are together, and therefore generations worth of fault. There are all kinds of diversity things that are going on now. That same square hold leadership is probably not going to fit in today's round hole. So I have started to realize that a lot of changes that are taking place in leadership, and we're at the cusp of this transformational leadership shift. It is great to be there and I have a lot to offer. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting in front of even more people and explaining to them and getting them to realize that there is an another more effective way lead people to the things that you want them to accomplish. Daniella Now it's interesting, Larry, that you said people find talking about love and leadership to be touchy feely. Most people would probably categorize military leadership as not touchy feely. But the first thing we learn as leaders in the military is that leaders eat last. The whole concept of that is exactly what you said, you through eating last are signaling. I am willing to not eat if there's not enough food, which means, you know, going way way back to homo sapien fighting for food. I am willing to die for you are in modern day 2019, signaling to these people. I'm willing to die for you. Will you let me lead you? That's a very hardcore, not touchy feely concept.  Larry It's funny, you should say that Daniella, I use that term a lot. When I'm teaching leadership, leaders eat last. For some people, it's like what I have to eat first because I need to have nourishment to be able to lead the people. it is a sign of sacrifice, a sign of devotion to your people. So grasp that leaders eat last. So good, good point. Daniella I think probably for all of us, you mentioned being a 23 year old kid right out of the Academy, right or out of ROTC? Larry Out of ROTC, that's correct. Daniella I had a similar experience 22 year old kid out of a commissioning program and you are obsessed with being the best. You think you need to outperform everyone else? How long do you think it took you to realize that being a leader was not about you, but was about your team? Larry It's funny that you should ask that question because there is a paradigm in there. Back, in those days, there was the zero defect army. I mean, you have to be near perfect, or you walk on water, and you just get wet to the ankle. I mean, you had to be that person. So what it caused is this, do not mess with me, don't touch me, because I got to be perfect. So micromanagement was a huge thing. All kinds of things came into play that caused people to be that way. Now, that's one end of the pendulum. The other end was that people started to realize in that era, what it caused was people's inability to feel like they could make a mistake. Or feel like they can allow their people to do things and use their own intuitive nature and ideas. It created this environment where you just felt like you couldn't do anything other than got to be perfect. It's got to be spot on. It causes you to grow up in an environment and a culture where you struggle with making a mistake.  Daniella You're speaking to my heart because there's so much danger in the zero defect environment. By the way, it's still a zero defect environment for women in the military, and a lot of other industries, of course. But I am very glad to hear that these great leaders like you and leadership trainers are thinking about this. Larry We're teaching a law enforcement organization here in a few days, called women in leadership. I am starting to realize even more as a black man. I used to feel like I've got to do 110%, just to be equal with everybody else. Now I'm thinking about what it must feel like sometimes and in a workplace environment, as a woman. Who is intelligent, who is absolutely capable of doing even more than many others. I wonder if they have that same feeling that I have that I really can't explain and articulate. Daniella I think I can articulate it. So when you are a member, this of course my personal belief. When you are a member of a minority group, of which women are still considered one. You represent that entire group in a way that a member of the majority doesn't. So, for example, when you Larry, as a man in the military, messed up. Did something wrong made a mistake, you were Larry, the soldier making a mistake. When I mess up and make a mistake, this is why women shouldn't be in the military. Right? So Daniella Young had to carry the weight of representing all females on her shoulder in the military because we're such a minority there. You probably had this experience as a black man in corporate America or somewhere else that you represent all African American people in all of your actions. That is far too heavy of a burden for any of us to carry. Larry Also with that, because it is true, where you feel like you are representing as a leader. You're representing the greater organization or people. So everything you do is going to maybe impress others that are watching to have a perception of everybody that's like you that. So it causes you to feel like you have to ensure that you present yourself the best at all times. Which comes back to part of that theme that works within you as as a leader where you feel that has to be the case, and you're constantly making sure you push yourself to do that. Because you're you're representing something much bigger than you. Daniella I'd be interested to get your opinion on this. When you allow people to see holes that you have or places where you're not perfect? Well, other people might have skills in those areas that are on your team that have a specific skill in that area that you wouldn't have known about. Larry There are five principles that I kind of adhere to, when I'm doing training. Empathy, esteem, support, share, and involve. Most of the time, leaders will give someone responsibility to do something. But because there's zero defect mentality, or they feel like it can't be done, as well as if I if we're not doing it. They tend to remove the responsibility to the individual. Because Okay, if they turn in a 50% solution, you're like, okay, I'll tell you what, I'll work on it from here. Most of your subordinates realize that's what you do. So they only do half anyway, because you know, you're going to take it and do it.  Larry But if you can figure out a way to involve your people, to where they take that as their own, and they actually feel great doing it. That's what makes the difference. A lot of times, leaders do not realize that you cannot function. These people are the wind beneath your wings. They are the literal air that you breathe. So if you do not empower them, and give them and involve them in the opportunities to do great things, without removing the responsibility, allow them to do it. If it's not done to exactly what your standard is, based on your perception of what right looks like, it's okay. As long as it's ethical and legal, moral and safe. Because what's going to happen, it's going to snowball, it's going to pay bigger dividends down the road.  Daniella Larry, we're gonna have to wrap up soon. Unfortunately, I know. We could go forever. We'll have to have you back on in the future. Larry I would love it. Thank you. Daniella So Larry, are you providing a gift or a discount for listeners today? Larry Yes, I am. As a matter of fact, I would love to, for anyone that reaches out to us. Let us know that they're looking for an opportunity to receive some awesome transformational leadership initiatives in their organization. If they contact us, and let us know that they heard this in relation to this podcast, we are going to provide discounts to them for that.

Daniella Perfect and all of the links and how to get in contact with Larry will be on our show notes, which are found www.cavnessHRblog.com. Okay, Larry, 20 seconds, what's one piece of advice for our listeners? Larry One piece of advice for our listeners. Leading is an art form. Leadership is a gift, but the ability to portray that so that your people will follow is where the magic actually happens. So I would empower all of the leaders who are out there, and it goes back to the beginning of what I said. Leadership Is loving your people, sacrificing yourself so that others may gain. Then in the end, you will realize that was what you were set out to do from the very beginning. Leaders lead from the front and leaders eat last.  Daniella Larry, thank you for so much for sharing so much value on our show today. Can't wait to have you back on and thank you to all of our listeners Remember to be great every day. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As Larry describes himself: Throughout, I was always a curriculum developer, increasingly became teacher mentor/trainer, teaching for deeper understanding, making learning visible. I was always a teacher activist/community organizer for social and restorative justice, for race, class and gender equity. I believed it was critical to introduce students to understand deeply the concepts of historiography. I taught that the electoral franchise is our American birthright . My main text was Howard Zinn's "Peoples History of the United States."

Larry Winget is a 6 time New York Times / Wall Street Journal best selling author, business speaker, and a friend of mine. He and I discuss what business people get right and wrong and give you tips on keeping your ship righted. If you’re just beginning your entrepreneurial journey, Larry has some excellent advice for you (hint: it involves defining what a business is and firmly understanding what problem you are in the business of solving). As Larry says, “your business profitability will be in direct proportion to the problem you solve.” Lots of great wisdom in this episode!

They’ve only been business partners since January 2017. When they’re not on the road, usually in two different cities, their homes are about 1,200 miles apart. Yet, Joe Gilliland and Larry Lemons have a knack for finishing each other’s sentences. They share a vision of a somewhat disruptive, more comprehensive approach to sports management. They call their company Anth3m because they and their affiliated firms give voice and management to the longer term of-the-field and off-the-course interests of rising stars such as golfer Austin Cook, and Oakland Raiders tight end, Jared Cook. Too many Cooks? Not in the case of Joe Gilliland, Larry Lemmons, and Anth3m, which is based in Miami Beach.   Key Takeaways: [:18] Ray Hoffman describes Anth3m sports management company and introduces Joe Gilliland and Larry Lemons. [1:15] Joe and Larry explain why Anth3m is based in Miami Beach. Athletes love the beach. It’s easy to get an athlete to come to visit Miami Beach for a meeting or an event. [1:25] Joe and Larry are basically on the road all the time, visiting athletes. They have partners spread out across the country to meet any athlete’s needs at any given time. Larry is in Miami Beach every other month, while Joe is there as little as he can be. [1:56] There are two full-time employees in Anth3m headquarters in Miami Beach. Larry and Joe are primarily on the road meeting people. [2:09] Joe lives in Dallas, Texas. Larry lives in Cleveland, Ohio. [2:20] Joe and Larry always have something new and exciting happening daily. They think outside the box and they want their company to find new and innovative ways to strategically align with their clients and partners. [3:08] Larry explains how he was doing business development for about six years with a couple of athletes. His business partner was his first client. As Larry was developing the model of Anth3m, he knew it was important to find someone who had actual management experience. [3:40] Larry was looking for someone who could bring traditional aspects of management to his athletes in a non-traditional situation. His partners introduced him to Joe. Larry laid out the vision for him and he just got it. They’ve been going ever since. [4:08] Larry has an economics background with JP Morgan Private before branching off on his own. Joe started at UBS and moved to UBS Private Wealth. At the same time, he founded a digital media company in the golf space, with two friends from college. It grew into something far bigger than they had anticipated. [4:43] Joe gives the shortened version of his career. He and his friends created a YouTube video that got 30K views. That led to a second video that got 100K views and it continued. They started getting contracts in the mail to monetize the video and build the platform. [5:09] Joe looked over the contracts and they filed an LLC, looking to make a little bit of money. Golf Digest wanted to do a full series. Callaway Golf called. That led Joe to full-time management representation as well as business development for athletes and consulting on behalf of digital content marketing strategies. [5:49] Larry and Joe were both willing to take on mitigated risk. You have to have an entrepreneurial spirit to launch a business. That was what drew Larry to Joe. They had both built a business from the ground up. [6:08] Larry says you need to understand what it means to go into the trenches and build something that certain people may see as taboo or different. They were taking on an industry that had set ways. You need people who will understand the vision and the struggles you have to go through to get where you want to be. [6:41] Joe illustrates the biggest difference between sports management today and the past by contrasting Michael Jordan, who was untouchable, with Lebron James, who is fully accessible. You feel like you have a personal relationship with him, day in and day out, from everything he’s been putting together. [7:29] The industry has been focused on sponsoring an athlete and getting them as much money as they can in return for as little value as possible. At the end of the day, the sponsorship doesn’t provide value to the company that you work with. [8:07] There is limited space available during the athlete’s performance. You have to find a way to create engagement opportunities for the brand. Today, you need to have a story about the brand’s association with the player and you need to tell the story by way of digital content, social media strategy, and public relations for audience engagement. [8:50] Athletes are not experts on marketing. They don’t understand that on Instagram and Twitter, they are shaping how people see them. Anth3m helps athletes make that communication intentional by matching an athlete’s message with a brand that aligns with their values and products they legitimately use. [10:05] Anth3m is telling authentic stories — the athletes don’t mind doing it and the brands get more out of it. They’re creating lasting, organic partnerships. [10:29] Joe points out that Anth3m is not an agency. They don’t handle player sports contracts or team-related businesses. A lot of times, they align strategically with agencies to help support the players in these other areas. Anth3m is unique in the style of relationship they have within the business development sector. [10:58] Anth3m is partnered with an actual public relations company, with a digital media and social media company, and a strong content creation company called Ideas United. They are partnered with a franchise and business development company, Apex. That is not common in the sports management industry. [11:44] Anth3m’s goal is to help their clients, the athletes, develop their own personal anthem. A lot of athletes have unknown talents they want to use and passions to pursue. The average NFL career is three years. It’s a job, not a career. Anth3m wants athletes, after a long career, to have their sport remembered as a footnote to their lives. [12:51] Anth3m’s goal is not to get athletes to the top but to guide them down into the next phase of their career, as well. It’s a full journey. The athlete is their own personal business. They hire Anth3m, to be the ‘CEO’ of their company. When they retire from their sport, they’ll be ready to step into a role in their business. [13:53] Larry says it’s come a little faster than anticipated. The firm was two years old in January. Both Larry and Joe have been working with athletes for a number of years. [14:25] Joe brings up a client case study, Brice Butler, who has proven himself to be a very capable receiver. What makes him a fit for Anth3m’s model is who he is as a business professional. He is into fashion. Last year at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, he was voted as one of the top eight best-dressed athletes at the shows. [16:12] Joe was heavily focused on golf before he met Larry. Larry loved the model Joe had put together of building brands and platforms for the athletes away from their sport. Larry said, “Let’s do it for the NFL.” It took Joe time to become fully aware of how the NFL works. Now they are branching into the NBA. [17:21] Larry had just taken the dive into golf and wanted to learn from Joe. Both Joe and Larry had some learning to do about the NFL space as a whole. Relationships with individuals have helped them pick it up quicker. Bringing on NBA athletes will be different from either golf or the NFL. [18:30] It was a surprise to Larry what the learning curve for Joe was in the NFL space. It took Joe some time to catch up to Larry. Larry and Joe talk about when you can call an NFL player vs. a golfer. Golfer Austin Cook will pick up the phone every time Joe calls. If Joe called an NFL player four times a day, they wouldn’t answer for a month. [19:57] Ray recently saw a 1960s video of Palmer, Niklaus, and Player on the Perry Como Show, playing an edited round of golf. These were agent Mark McCormack’s big three. Joe believes that Arnold Palmer made sports marketing cool. Mark McCormack was revolutionary. He wrote What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School. [21:09] The lessons Mark McCormack learned in the 1960s are still applicable today. Joe talks about the thousands of dollars Arnold Palmer won playing golf in contrast to the millions of dollars athletes make today. Arnold Palmer became a multi-millionaire through marketing his story and brand. [22:31] Larry talks about how Anth3m works to understand the important parts of an athlete’s business off the field and turn that into something that fulfills their hopes and dreams. [23:03] Ray notes the Barclays Center in Brooklyn was sold out for a couple of days recently for video gamers. Larry and Joe have considered taking on video gamers. Their aligned strategic partners understand sports but don’t have active backgrounds in sports. Anth3m didn’t want their clients to be put into a box that their sport dictates. [24:08] There are a number of things Anth3m has on the table, with which they are looking forward to testing their model. E-gaming happens to be one of them. Joe has a couple of friends who have moved into the representation of e-gamers full time. [24:37] Joe feels that the driving force of Anth3m’s success is going to be in creating opportunities for athletes to invest more toward their future career and business after their sport. One way they inspire that opportunity is through their relationship with Apex for business development work. [25:27] Joe and Larry are in New York the week of this interview to meet with Jared Cook of the Oakland Raiders, and a partner in a high-fashion men’s apparel line. Jared came up with the idea of starting his own line. Larry helped him pick the right strategy, designers and partners, took over as CEO of the company and has developed it. [26:21] Larry thinks that what needs to change in the representation field is the idea that agents, financial advisors, or managers have direct control over an athlete. Athletes should hire the specialists they need to help them for specific jobs. A financial advisor should not give legal advice. Everybody should do their specific job. [29:14] Joe says they are talking now with a company that has a phenomenal indoor play concept about bringing in a unique ambassador specific to the business and developing a relationship with that group, owning a piece of it, and doing appearances and events that will draw people and grow the business. [30:33] Jared Cook is a unique individual. That is what Anth3m is looking for. Anth3m can help all athletes build their anthem, unique to the individual athletes. [31:19] Joe suggests Anth3m should become the first sports management group to step in and own a franchise of some sort — it may be an Ultimate Frisbee franchise! [31:42] Larry says they are excited and happy that people are starting to take notice and ask questions about how Anth3m is doing what they do. That’s the dream. [32:09] Larry Lemons and Joe Gilliland, of Anth3m.

Show Summary: (Full Transcript Below) A new Hockey program has just started right here in the Hockey State. The program is the Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey Program. Open to individuals who happen to be Blind or Visually Impaired.  Lonny Evans joined Jeff Thompson in the Blind Abilities studio to talk about the Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey program, how it came about and describe the adaptive sport to our listeners. Lonny talks about the spirit and the volunteers participating, and the overall joy the sport of Hockey is bringing to so many individuals. With Canada leading the way and more teams out East in the States, we are excited about the Minnesota Wild getting behind and supporting an inclusive program. A program that gives individuals with vision loss an opportunity to challenge themselves and to participate in the popular sport of hockey. You can find out more about Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey on the web at www.MNSpecialHockey.organd read below about the Hendrickson Foundation and the mission statement they stand by. From the MNSpecialHockeyweb site: Blind hockey, which is the newest discipline of disabled hockey, is the same exhilarating, fast-paced sport of hockey with minimal rule adaptations to make the game accessible for players who are all legally blind. The most significant modification is that the sport features an adapted puck that makes noise, an is bigger and slower than a traditional puck. “Minnesota Disabled Hockey is proud to offer our newest program, Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey, to our list of programs for people of all abilities in the State of Hockey,” said Minnesota Hockey Disabled Hockey Director Antonia Gillen.  “This program will create opportunities for people with visual impairments to play hockey and expands the network of hockey programs for people in Minnesota with varying disabilities. We are so grateful for the continued support of the Minnesota Wild and their assistance in reaching another group of individuals who would otherwise not have the chance to play the sport we all enjoy.” From the About page of the Hendrickson Foundation: How Did It All Start? In 2011, Founder Larry Hendrickson was in contact with USA Hockey and they asked for help with growing disabled hockey in Minnesota…to help provide the opportunity to play hockey to those in wheelchairs, with a loss of limb, with intellectual disabilities, or who were injured serving our country. In short, Larry realized that Hockey Changes Lives for everyone who has the opportunity to play and everyone, including individuals with disabilities, deserve the opportunity to play. As Larry likes to tell it, “These people zero in not on what is different about them but what is the same. With time, they’ve forgotten they are different. After I met the people, how their lives were affected, it’s one of the greatest joys of my life.” Naturally the Hendrickson Foundationwas formed shortly after in partnership with Minnesota Hockey and USA Hockey. The mission: grow the game of  hockey in Minnesota by being inclusive to individuals with mental and physical disabilities . Contact: Thank you for listening!

Full Transcript: Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey Is Here! A Conversation with Lonny Evans Jeff Thompson: Over to Goldsworthy, he shoots, he scores. Ah yes, the great sounds of Minnesota hockey, and there's a brand new hockey program in town. It's the Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey Program. With me today is Lonny Evans. He's going to talk about the Blind Hockey Program, how you can get involved, and he's going to tell us a little bit more about this brand new initiative for the Minnesota Wild. Jeff Thompson: And, a big thank you for the Hendrickson Foundation for being a contributor of and supporter of Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey. The Hendrickson's mission is, grow the game of hockey in Minnesota by being inclusive to individuals with mental and physical disabilities. Jeff Thompson: Now, let's talk some hockey with Lonny Evans. Jeff Thompson: Welcome to Blind Abilities. I'm Jeff Thompson. I'm at State Services for the Blind, here in Minnesota in the Saint Paul area, and I'm with Lonny Evans. He's representing the Minnesota Wild with the Minnesota Wild's Blind Hockey. How you doing Lonny? Lonny Evans: Doing very well, thanks Jeff. How are you? Jeff Thompson: I'm doing good, thank you. This is exciting. When I first heard about this ... Well, I heard about Blind Hockey out east, and there's a few teams that are doing an interview with Liz Bottner, and she's a goalie out there. She said, "Well, maybe you should start getting it in Minnesota," and low and behold all of a sudden I saw on the news, all of a sudden there was an announcement of, "Minnesota Wild introducing Blind Hockey to Minnesota area." Lonny Evans: Yeah, it is real exciting. Recently, a couple of the coaches and myself went out to Pittsburgh, and we were able to interact with folks and observe a Blind Hockey Summit. As you referenced, there are several teams out of the East Coast area, and of course Canada's been doing it for a long time, but no real representation here in Minnesota. The idea that the state of hockey doesn't have Blind Hockey, there's some really good folks in that organization, Minnesota Hockey and elsewhere that decided, "You know what? We need to do something about it." So, we had our kickoff a couple weeks ago. Jeff Thompson: Oh wow. Was a good turnout? Lonny Evans: Yeah, we had probably just under 20 players come out, and then we also had great representation. We had Orono High School, had some of their boys and girls players come out. We had some volunteers as teachers, they had their students on the ice, and so it was really a neat mix of people coming together, and we had a wonderful first time on the ice together. Jeff Thompson: Such a great opportunity for everybody to learn. You got the people who are blind out there probably breaking through a barrier that they ... an expectation that they never thought they would have the opportunity to do, and other people learning that what possibilities people with a visual impairment can do. Lonny Evans: Yeah, I agree. I think the idea of attacking the barriers that either we put up ourselves and/or that others put on us is really important. So, the hockey is a great end-all, but I believe that in the end it will prove to be more than hockey, that it can be a real springboard for other things in life, social, just you know confidence. Enjoying the sport as a way to do all that thing is I think just a really neat combination. Jeff Thompson: Yeah, I agree. I think it's a great vehicle for breaking down those limited expectations that society puts upon people with a disability. This is just another way of sure enjoyment for ... I used to play, myself, so I was like ... I was thinking to myself, "Now hockey ..." Let's just switch this over to ... This is what went through my head, "How do you play? What are the rules? Are they the same? Is the puck the same? Is the sticks?" Can you explain it to us? Lonny Evans: Sure. Yeah, no those are great questions, and I think those are probably questions that most people have. There are very few modifications, on the higher end of play I would say. One of the modifications is that the net is at 3 feet versus 4 feet high. All of the players have up to 10% vision or less, so the players can have up to 10% vision and still qualify to skate with Blind Hockey. Some have zero vision and then somewhere in between there, and that's going to somewhat dictate plays. Well so, the forwards can have up to 10% vision whereas goalies have zero vision. Lonny Evans: Another modification is, that there needs to be at least one pass in the offensive zone. So, you couldn't skate from behind your net, bring it all the way up, and shoot on the goalie. Once you cross that blue line you have to make at least one pass. Lonny Evans: Another distinction is, the puck is quite a bit bigger. It's metal, and there are BBs inside that generate noise as it's moving and being hit and shot, and that type of thing. It doesn't make noise the entire path, so sometimes it's really difficult for players to pick up on that. I do believe, from what I hear, that they are continuing to work on a puck to make sure that the sound is being produced throughout the time it's being used. But in general, there aren't a lot of modifications. Jeff Thompson: I suppose that pass really helps the goalie, because if someone comes in, they might just be able to determine that someone's coming down the left side, but once you pass it, that sound of someone catching the pass gives the goalie a good chance of bearing down on the location. Lonny Evans: Yes, absolutely. If you were to stand behind a net and watch a goalie, you can see them absolutely reacting to that sound, but then there's that difficulty of when the sound isn't coming. You can imagine how difficult that is. So, the goalies have a really tough position, and it's amazing to see what goalies, with some experience can do, and it's really fun to see them make that save. Whether a goalie, defense, or forward, I have great admiration for the skaters. Lonny Evans: That's not because I came into it with low expectations or wanting to dumb it down, but I just know from my own experiences that if I were to have some kind of an issue with my hearing or sight, that that would really change it for me. So I guess, not starting at a point of low expectations, but my admiration for people has really taken off as I've been able to get out there and experience it with people. Jeff Thompson: Now, this isn't just for people who have played hockey before and who want a second chance at it or get out there. This is for people who are visually impaired that want to experience hockey, skating, and so they're coming in at all levels. Lonny Evans: Yeah, they really are coming in at different levels and experiences and different ages. So right now having one team, we run the gamut from younger elementary kids to folks that are probably in their 50s, and everybody in between. Some who've skated in the past, maybe before they lost their vision. Others, who a couple of weeks ago was their very first time on the ice. Jeff Thompson: Oh wow. That's where, like you mentioned, the students from the high schools and stuff coming out and volunteering and offering some help, that's where they get an opportunity to give assistance, and learn from them too. Lonny Evans: Yeah, I think the opportunities for awareness are great on both sides of that equation, and I thought the bonding that took place between or amongst everybody was amazing. I think that's going to continue to be a real highlight of what we do, especially early on. Lonny Evans: One of the neat things that I've experienced is, seeing kids who came in and maybe relied on two volunteers, one on either side as they leaned heavily into a stick to keep their balance, two, three practices later are now skating one their own, and the body language just tells you the confidence as well as the big smile on the face. Lonny Evans: So, I think over time the idea of having a lot of volunteers, but phasing out the numbers will take place as people gain confidence and experience, and they don't have other people doing it for them. They are skating, they are doing it for themselves. I like to think of the other volunteers and coaches, we're partnering with each other to do this. Lonny Evans: A fun experience for me in another kind of great equalizer was, I skated up to one of our newer skaters a few weeks ago, and I asked her if there's anything I could do. Is there anything that she would want to do to help out, and she said, "Well, could you grab the jersey on my left side?" So I agreed, and I skated over, and I grabbed a handful of jersey. She said, "Coach Lonny, that's my right side." So, we can always learn from others, and certainly that's the case for me. But, it was a great time, just another big smile. We're out here having fun on the ice and at that time, what could have been better? Jeff Thompson: Lonny, when you first heard about this and the Wild getting involved, how did that happen? Lonny Evans: Sure, my first invitation to get involved with Blind Hockey came a few months ago. I had been working late one night, stopped in at a store, and checked an email message. It was from a friend of mine from Minnesota Hockey, Toni Gillen, and she asked me if I was still interested in getting back into hockey. I said, "Absolutely," and her message was, "Well, that's wonderful, because I want you to be part of helping us start Blind Hockey in Minnesota." Lonny Evans: It really struck a chord with me, because I had worked with Toni, working with other folks with disabilities through the years, and loved all of it. But, this was also really personal to me, as my grandfather had lost his vision when I was younger. I was able to do a lot of things with my grandfather, actually he wanted to go fishing, and I would be the one who as a middle schooler, would take the boat out and we'd go fishing. I would take him to different events for folks who happened to be blind, and a bunch of things like that through the years. So, it was just very personal for me on that level, as well as knowing the impact that hockey can have on folks. I couldn't wait to jump on board. Jeff Thompson: And you have, if you may, have another personal story about someone with a disability that started playing hockey as well. Lonny Evans: Yes, absolutely. Our daughter Elena was adopted from Russia. She went from the hospital to the orphanage due to a birth condition where both of her legs were not weight bearing. So after we heard about Elena and pursued her, she came home at three and a half. A couple months after she arrived here in the US, she had both feet amputated at Shriners Hospital, healed up that summer, and then took her first steps as an almost four year old the day after 9-11. It was about two years later that she was the only girl on here all boys Might hockey team out in Minnetonka, and Elena started skating and that just kind of took off for her, her love for hockey. She's flourished on and off the ice since then. Jeff Thompson: Yeah, surrounding someone with high expectations, role models, her brothers and stuff like that, probably helped a lot. Lonny Evans: Absolutely. She would have therapy regularly at Shriners Hospital, but I think probably some of the most impactful therapy for her was trying to keep up with her brothers who were just a couple months younger or a year and a half older. That really was a normalizing type of experience for her. It absolutely ramped up the expectations. It absolutely ramped up the level of confidence that she can do things. She was very motivated, and so all that really helped her out. Lonny Evans: Even for example when she was playing hockey, the idea that she had to carry her own hockey bag made her part of what was going on, and she wasn't treated with kid gloves, but had the same expectations as everybody else. I think we've been able to apply that in a lot of different areas. There's no doubt that she's been able to do some wonderful things, but we're not surprised by that. We expected that for her and from her, and wanted that for her. Jeff Thompson: And, that's a great success story in itself, and it's continuing. Just like this hockey opportunity, Blind Hockey from the Minnesota Wild being an opportunity to people to show up, get going on something, and break down those barriers as we first started out by talking about. The barriers that we think are in front of us or people think are in front of them, and that's where all those low expectations come. Jeff Thompson: So, I think it's a great opportunity for people to get involved in it, whether you're a volunteer or whether you're putting on the skates. May have been awhile since you put them on, but it's an opportunity to actually get to know people, communicate, share ideas, and probably develop friendships in the long run too, networks. Lonny Evans: Yeah, absolutely. I think the benefits or the fruit of skating for the Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey Program, is already happening. We're seeing some really neat things take place right now, but I'm confident that that'll continue on and probably in ways that we can't even anticipate as an organization or individually. The feedback has been really positive. I think people are really grateful for this opportunity. It's just really fun to hear the excitement that kids and adults and parents and guardians have for this whole thing. As if any of us needed any other motivation, to see those smiles and to hear the excitement about doing this is just amazing. I think we're just scratching the surface here. Jeff Thompson: Well this is a great opportunity. Lonny, can you tell people who are interested in this or who want to learn more about Minnesota Wild Blind Hockey, where they can go to find more information? Lonny Evans: Yes, if you go to mnspecialhockey.org, there is a link to Blind Hockey specifically, and you can sign up as a skater, as an individual volunteer, or as a volunteer team. Jeff Thompson: And that would be like the high school players that came and joined in? Lonny Evans: Yes, yep. Absolutely. So, we have got some high school kids. We've got a Bantam team coming soon. I've got some friends who skate in the Adult Hockey Association who have signed up as a team. So, we want to encourage entire teams to come out, but also would love to have individual skaters come and join us on the ice. Jeff Thompson: Well Lonny, I want to thank you and the Minnesota Wild for creating this opportunity for everybody. I think it's a great thing, especially here in Minnesota. Remember, a miracle on ice, right? Lonny Evans: Yes. I have to tell you, when we were out in Pittsburgh, people heard we were coming. So, I think there's a real sense of family, so people knew we were coming representing Minnesota, and were welcoming us. We were also getting a lot of, "What took you so long," or "It's about time," and "State of Minnesota, state of hockey, what took so long?" So, there was some great teasing that way, but we talked about expectations as far as skaters and individuals and people with a disability or no disability. So I think it's kind of funny, but also I think it's kind of telling that there is an expectation that Minnesota would be doing something like this. Lonny Evans: So, I can't say enough about the Minnesota Wild and they are just so supportive, and are putting so much behind this. I think it says a lot about the organization, about the people there, and their buy-in, and their desire to see people of all abilities be able to participate at some level in the wonderful game of hockey. Jeff Thompson: Well, there's no time like the present, right? Lonny Evans: Absolutely, we'd love to get more folks out there. So, I thank you for the opportunity to spread the word, and thank you for the way that you are helping us to promote this and get the word out. Jeff Thompson: Thanks Lonny. We'll put the link in the show notes too, so if you click down below you'll be able to get right to that website and volunteer, join. If there's anybody that you know who is visually impaired that you think this would be something that they would enjoy, let them know. So share it out there folks. Lonny Evans: Perfect.

Most CEOs don't clean bathrooms, report to entry-level employees, or stop by stores just to chat with customers. Then again, Larry Sutton isn't most CEOs. Larry has turned RNR Tire Express into the fastest-growing tire franchise in the country with a humble and self-deprecating attitude. Larry doesn't see himself as the head of the company; in fact, he's actually turned the entire structure upside down. RNR uses an inverted version of the traditional pyramid hierarchy system. Larry reports to other executives, who report to regional managers, who then report to store managers and employees. As Larry says, the people who are doing the actual work are often the ones who have the best answers; if he wants to find out what kind of trucks to buy, he's going to ask the manager who works with trucks all day instead of an executive who is removed from the actual work. It's all in an effort to create a serve spirit instead of a service spirit. The CEO reports to everyone else because it is his job to serve them. That culture trickles down to customers, who can see a difference. A serving attitude permeates RNR in how employees are treated. Larry believes that employees won't be willing to serve customers fully until they are served and valued. That comes from working with them as a person instead of just an employee. Managers and executives help employees develop life skills so they can be the best husbands, wives, fathers, sons, neighbors, etc. they can be. RNR is a company full of changed lives in the business of changing lives. Focusing on employees and changing their lives spreads to customers and helps the company change their lives, as well. Larry follows the Yes CEO mentality and has a goal to say yes more often than he says no. When an employee or franchise owner has an idea for something new, Larry almost always lets them try it, even if he doesn't think it will work. The idea will either be a great success or serve as a learning experience for the employee and teach them more than if Larry had just shot the idea down in the first place. As long as it doesn't hurt the brand, employees are free to try a lot of different things to create unique solutions to help customers. Serving is at the heart of everything RNR Tire Express does. The goal is not to provide service, but to serve people. Multiple times a year RNR hosts events for employees and their families to connect and share the culture of the company. It costs a lot of money to put on events and offer rewards, but Larry believes it is worth it to serve employees. In an effort to build the culture of service, Larry has even turned down potential franchises who just didn't fit the RNR culture. Another way Larry stands out from the typical CEO is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. He knows his employees and can connect with them on a personal and self-deprecating level. When he stops by the stores, he often checks to see if the bathrooms are clean. If they aren't, he quietly grabs a mop and gets to work. Larry also isn't afraid to get feedback. It all comes back to the attitude of humility. He realizes that getting tires isn't a pleasant experience for most people, so he welcomes new ideas of how to improve the experience. As Larry visits RNR franchises, he talks to customers in the waiting rooms about what could make their experiences better. When one customer suggested free Uber rides, four franchises started testing the idea. Other franchises are trying free pickup and delivery and mobile tire installation, and all franchises offer free refreshments and charging stations. Larry truly believes that investing in customer experience pays off by creating an environment where people want to work and customers want to do business. His unique approach is working—RNR Tire Express has grown to a $130 million business since it started franchising in 2003. Thinking outside the box and serving with humility can make a big difference for companies across all industries, and it starts at the top.

Ah, Clark Griswold; the preeminent example of a father and husband with the best of intentions, but reaction challenged when it comes to dealing with life’s hurdles and controlling his temper. Of course he wants the best for his family: from great vacations to Wally World to finding the biggest Christmas tree. Unfortunately, on his quest to be the “perfect father”, he tends to respond in anger and frustration when things don’t go the way he plans. Sound typical? Ok, so maybe Griswold is a bit extreme (or maybe not), but you have more than likely had a moment or two when frustration has gotten the best of you. Larry and Shawn provide 5 easy ways to keep your anger and frustration at bay. Your Temper and the "Perfect Father Myth" Before we go any further, let’s dispel the “perfect father” myth; there is no perfect father, doesn’t exist. We’re human, have emotions and sometimes, those emotions get the better of us and that’s okay. As Larry says, “great fathers have bad moments”, it’s what you do in those moments that build your character and provide a positive example for those around you, specifically your children. Controlling our Temper Means Knowing our Triggers So, what’s a guy to do when it seems like the world is pushing all of your buttons? Know your triggers. Maybe it’s repeating yourself to get your kids to pick up after themselves or you’ve just come home from a full day of work and you are barraged with requests to help with homework and the kids. Whatever your triggers, identify them so that you can do what you need to do to prepare yourself ahead of time and following these 5 ideas might just help diffuse your response: Temper Tip #1:  Breathe Be able to take a breath. Not just that little hyperventilating breath, either. This breath needs to be a nice, long, drawn breath, enough to calm you and bring you back to a state of peace. It should allow you to reset yourself and prepare you to deal with the situation at hand in a rational manner. Temper Tip #2:  Walk Away Walk away. In the heat of the moment, our adrenaline may make us want to stay in the situation and argue. But cooler heads do prevail, walking away when we feel our blood boiling will keep us from saying things we may later regret. Not only that, walking away gives us a chance to get perspective on the situation. Adrenaline only muddies the waters. Temper Tip #3:  Stay Active Stay active. If there’s one concept that is driven home on a regular basis on the GDP, it’s the benefits of exercise and overall health. In the case of anger and frustration, physical activity can also help us to channel this aggression into something more positive. So, there’s really a dual benefit: your anger remains at bay and you stay fit! Temper Tip #4:  Surround Yourself with the RIGHT People Surround yourself with positive, supportive people. Enough said. You need a sounding board that has been through similar experiences and can give you either advice or a simple listening ear. Temper Tip #5:  When you do Lose your Cool, Apologize Finally, when you do lose your cool, apologize. Even if it goes against everything you feel like doing, an apology goes a long way in repairing a bridge that may be a little singed. Apologies disarm people and pave the way to build a relationship into a stronger force. Forget about Perfection Forget the “perfect father” myth. Let it remain just that: a myth. We are human, prone to the same emotions of all other humans; it’s what we do with those emotions that make us who we truly are.

After her presentation at Black Hat 2013, Allison is back in studio and will do a tech segment titled "Denying Service to DDOS Protection Services" Are you not keeping your firmware up to date? Any chance that you're setting yourself up to be hit by the HP Integrated Lights-Out authentication bypass? If you're not going to be diligent about updating firmware and must have these things on the internet, then as Paul says, firewall the hell out of it and keep it away from the rest of your network. Using a new scanning interface from Paul and Jack's employer, Tenable, you're able to see if your desktop software is out of date. Everyone's browser seemed to need updates and as we learned with some help from Carlos, you even need to update your pooty (PuTTY). One of the many good lessons that can be gained from watching Security Weekly is "Don't screw with people's kids." Let's go one step further and say it's probably in poor form to call some random stranger's two year old a "slut". Larry and Paul tell us about a story where one of those baby monitor camera systems was "hacked" because it was on the internet and using the default (ie. no password) password. So someone was able to log in to the camera and shout expletives through the speakers, at the sleeping child and eventually at the parents. Ok, first as Jack already mentioned, don't screw with people's kids. Second, as Larry mentioned, why put this thing on the internet? Third, if you are going to put it on the internet, make it easier or more obvious that a default password needs to be changed. Or finally, as Jack mentions, it might be a little harder to support, but go with a handful of default passwords and put a sticker on the system to let people know what it is. That's a whole lot better than no password when this thing goes on the internet. Leave it to Expert Steve to start a fire right in the Security Weekly studios. Rob Graham over at Erratasec gives a nice behind-the-scenes account of the Blaster worm as it was already 10 years ago that the outbreak first happened. Rob talks about how he found out about the possibility, was soundly mocked even in his own company about the upcoming outbreak and even how he launched his own bloodless coup in his company. He simply told the CEO that a major problem was coming, that he knew how to fix it and he was taking over immediately. In spite of much preparation for a big fight, the CEO simply said "ok" and Rob was off and running. While it only took his in-house developers to create an exploit for the vulnerability, it took much longer than expected for it to be seen in the wild. It was eventually first seen on August 11, 2003. And Rob was vindicated. So the Transcend SD WiFi Card is completely vulnerable to all kinds of bad things. The tiny little card runs Linux and even has netcat installed! There's a web server on there where you can upload more fun scripts that let you do all kinds of things you shouldn't be able to. Things like see the user's password in the web page source code or remote file includes. But to leave netcat installed and leave open the ability to get a shell on an SD card? As Larry asks "The smaller the device, the less attention that is paid to security??" While out at Black Hat, Allison got to play with the Hot Plug. No no, in spite of the name this is not some kind of sex toy. Instead, it's a great device that allows you to remove the power plug from a wall socket but still leave the device powered on. According to Allison, it's a male-to-male plug where you just slightly remove the plug from the socket, connect the Hot Plug and then remove the plug from the socket. There are more discussions and articles but finally, Paul brought up this Dark Reading article by Maxim Weinstein called The More Things Change. This article goes into how many millions of malware variants we've seen through the years, but in the end, all of these hacks require at least one of three things: "exploiting a vulnerability, compromising user credentials, and/or tricking the user." The real question is how we fix these? Ok, one more. There's an add-on to the Leap Motion device where you can simply use hand (or other) gestures to log in to your Windows machine. Oh so many ways that we could log in... There are all these stories and more this week on the Security Weekly Drunken Security News!

Ethan Robish is a researcher with Black Hills Information Security and is here to give us some of the background on a suite of tools for the Offensive Countermeasures class - Active Defense Harbinger Distribution. The Active Defense Harbinger Distribution (ADHD) is a Linux distro based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It comes with many tools aimed at active defense preinstalled and configured. The purpose of this distribution is to aid defenders by giving them tools to "strike back" at the bad guys. A lean week in episode 319's Drunken security news, but at least the house was full with PDC staff. With Paul, Larry, Allison and Jack in-studio and John and Carlos via Skype to fill us in on all the fun. But first, make sure to not miss the other two segments from episode 319. First was 451 Research's Wendy Nather to talk with the team, and then Ethan Robish and John Strand came on to talk about a brand new distribution. If you like distributions like Samurai, Backtrack and others, you might be interested in this one. Titled ADHD (Active Defense Harbinger Distribution) this has been three years in the making and takes on offensive security with many of the tools you love. As for the stories of the week, Paul started off with a couple quick hits, including a joke about the Federal Reserve hack and bugs in hospital embedded devices. Then follow along as Jack goes a long way to make a joke about prime numbers, after one of the largest only-divisible-by-one-and-itselfs was discovered. The first story they dig into is one that Larry brought along, about SSL/TLS being broken. After some explanation on the Oracle padding issue and the use of the same key, John and Larry bring up Wright's Law (to be discussed in episode 320 on Tuesday). Larry wonders, who is working on fixing SSL and if there is someone with a fix today, it could take five years until it is fully implemented. Do you need anything more than six seconds? Apparently if you use Vine for Twitter, that's all you'll need. It's a new video sharing service, but all you get is six seconds of video. And what happens on Vine stays on Vine, right? Umm, no. What would you do if you were Adobe's CISO? Take the staff out to lunch? Quit? Or actually get things cleaned up. I guess at least they're not Sony. Congratulations to Allison who is Gold GCIA certified after her paper on digital watermarking to help prevent leaks. You can read the entire thing in the SANS Reading Room. Lastly, Larry drops an "I told you so" with regard to Universal Plug and Play (uPnP). As Larry wrote, now there is a single Packet UDP exploit for it, for almost every device - of which there are millions of devices connected to the internet based on HD Moore's scanning. Oh and if your company is looking for their next great employee (or if you get a referral bonus) contact Larry with the opportunity.

  Recorded at the Reg's Place (San Antonio, TX) on April 5, 2012. This week, we brought in our good friend Jay Whitecotton in for a home recording in our continued efforts to "grip the format". And here we go: With The Hunger Games making a big splash, Jess takes time to pimp the US release of Japanese cult favorite Battle Royale in this weeks "Yeah, Imma Look Into Dat!". Then we reveal who'd kill first in a game of death...or any game for that matter. "Wah, why are they remaking *blank*? They're just going to ruin it and buttfuck my childhood!" Really? Are they that bad or have they been rehashing shit longer than you think? Word on the street is that Russia is developing a "zombie gun", a gun that turns people into zombies. Somehow, this leads into talks of the future of pornography (which is robots watching humans have sex) and how the Richest Man in the World gets off. Fascinating. In Larry's "Dad's Corner(ed)", we mow over the phenomenon of "bullying". Is this something that society needs to work together to dissipate or are we just creating a soft world full of soft people? Personal experiences are shared and Regan reveals he hates Star Trek literature. Club Comics vs. Alternative Comics. As Larry puts it so well, "[They're] the same, just doing different things." Eh. We think there's more to it than that. Let us know what you think, folks. Any improvements, suggestions? Comment, yo!
