Episode: In this episode, Kyle sits down for a chat with David deSilva about his two new volumes, Archaeology and the Ministry of Paul: A Visual Guide and Archaeology and the World of Jesus: A Visual Guide (Baker Academic, 2025). The two chat about the importance of material culture for understanding the New Testament, discerning between good church traditions and "other" church traditions, and whether or not it is important to get one's historical details right as a part of one's theology. Kyle also recounts his unique baptism experience, and David gushes about the Via Dolorosa.

Last week, we talked about why strategic prioritisation matters and how it creates your unfair competitive advantage. We looked at how the spray-and-pray approach is costing you 5 times as much to acquire clients, resulting in 52% lower marketing ROI and 40% higher client churn. More importantly, we discussed how strategic prioritisation transforms your business: marketing spend decreases whilst results increase, you grow 30% faster, and you build sustainable competitive advantages that can’t be easily replicated. So now the question becomes: where exactly should you focus your limited resources for maximum impact as you plan for late 2025 and into 2026? Today, I’m going to walk you through the critical areas that research shows demand attention. Let’s dive in. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Identify your true business driver by analysing conversion data—discover which activities actually close deals versus those that just create awareness (one agency increased conversions 40% using this method) Niche specialisation delivers 300% higher profitability than generalist approaches, with specialist agencies filling roles 2.3x faster and commanding 20-30% premium fees Client retention strategies that boost profitability by 25-95% with just a 5% improvement, including proactive communication frameworks and multi-stakeholder engagement tactics The Lead Generation Triad framework for building predictable sales pipelines using current connections, content marketing, and systematic cold outreach 2026 recruitment marketing priorities, including AI-driven solutions (81% of agencies investing), social sourcing strategies, and authentic employer branding approaches Technology stack essentials that reduce time-to-fill by 60% and help agencies close 40% more deals through integrated CRM-ATS systems Identify Your Key Business Drivers Before you dive into any of these priority areas, there’s one critical step that far too many recruitment business owners skip: identifying your key business driver by reviewing actual conversion data. Here’s what I mean. I was speaking with an MD recently who was convinced that their time should be split equally across all their marketing activities. They were doing a bit of LinkedIn, a bit of email, some cold calling, and attending the occasional networking event. But when we sat down and analysed where their converted clients came from over the last two years, you know, the ones who signed terms and generated revenue, we discovered something fascinating. Their LinkedIn content was absolutely working. It was creating awareness, generating engagement, and booking initial meetings. But here’s the thing: those LinkedIn connections only converted into actual clients when they transitioned to messaging, face-to-face meetings, or structured follow-up calls. The pattern was clear: LinkedIn opened the door and built credibility, but it was the in-person meeting or the strategic phone conversation that closed the deal. Without that crucial next step, the LinkedIn engagement rarely converted to revenue. This revelation completely changed their strategic priorities. They didn’t stop posting on LinkedIn; it was a vital awareness tool. But they realised their true business driver was the face-to-face meeting. So, they restructured everything around getting more of those meetings and making them count. They used LinkedIn to create awareness and credibility, then systematically moved prospects toward booking virtual coffee meetings or office visits. The result? A 40% increase in client conversions over the next quarter. So, before you commit to any strategy for 2026, I want you to do this simple exercise: Look at your converted clients over the last two years. Trace back through the entire journey. What created the initial awareness? What built the credibility? And critically, what was the final touchpoint that actually converted them into a client? Was it a face-to-face meeting after connecting on LinkedIn? A follow-up call after they downloaded your content. A presentation at their office that you arranged through email outreach. Whatever that conversion moment was, that’s your key business driver. Everything else is supporting that driver. Once you’ve identified this, you can build your entire priority framework around creating more of those conversion moments, whilst using your other channels strategically to feed that pipeline. Market Positioning and Niche Specialisation One of the most fundamental strategic decisions you face is whether to operate as a generalist or specialist agency. The evidence overwhelmingly favours niche specialisation for agencies seeking competitive advantage. Listen to these numbers: • Niche recruitment agencies fill roles 2.3 times faster than generalists because they know the industry inside and out. • They earn 3.2 times more referrals due to the trust and credibility that comes with deep industry expertise. • They command 20 to 30% higher fees thanks to demonstrated specialisation. • They achieve 89% client retention rates, far above the 62% average for generalists. • And they see a 300% boost in revenue and profitability compared to generalist counterparts. The qualification rates tell the story: niche recruiters achieve 20-25% qualification rates, compared to just 5-8% for generalists. With 72% of hiring managers struggling to fill specialised roles, niche agencies are uniquely positioned to meet this challenge. Client Relationship Management and Retention Though new client acquisition often dominates business development discussions, client retention represents one of the most profitable priorities. Here’s a stat that should make you sit up: increasing client retention by just 5% can boost profitability by 25-95%. Let me share some priority actions: Exceptional service delivery: The temps and contractors you place are your frontline ambassadors, but this principle applies equally to permanent placements. The care you show the people you’ve placed directly impacts on your client relationships. Research indicates that highly engaged placements are 59% more productive and 87% less likely to experience premature departure. When you invest in looking after the candidates you’ve placed, checking in regularly, and ensuring they’re settled and supported, this directly impacts client perception and repeat business. Your client views you as someone who prioritises the long-term success of placements, not just someone who fills roles and then disappears. Proactive communication: The best partnerships are built on regular, strategic conversations, not just transactional job orders. Quarterly hiring roadmap sessions keep you close to client businesses, even when they’re not actively hiring, transforming you from a vendor to a strategic partner. Value-added services: Agencies providing strategic insights into workforce management achieve 33% higher revenue growth than those focused solely on transactional recruitment. Sharing data-driven insights, market trends, and salary benchmarks positions your agency as indispensable. Multi-stakeholder engagement: Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to identify key decision-makers beyond your primary contact. Companies increasingly want relationships at the strategic level where budget allocation decisions are made, not just where job orders are placed. Business Development and Lead Generation A robust, predictable sales pipeline separates recruitment companies that thrive from those that merely survive. We teach the Lead Generation Triad, which provides a framework for balanced business development: Current Connections: Your existing network of clients, candidates, and industry contacts represents your most valuable lead source. Regular re-engagement of your database through targeted campaigns can generate hundreds of downloads and follow-up opportunities. Content as a Convincer: Strategic content marketing establishes your agency as a trusted industry resource. Recruitment agencies with active blogs generate 126% more leads than those without consistent content publication. Cold Outreach: Whilst uncomfortable for many, systematic cold outreach, when done consistently across multiple channels (phone, direct messages, texts, video messages, emails), revolutionises business development over the long term. The key is integration: all three components working together create momentum across short, medium, and long-term horizons. Recruitment Marketing and Employer Branding As we look towards 2026, recruitment marketing capabilities have become essential competitive differentiators. Successful companies are prioritising: • Media diversification: Reducing dependency on just LinkedIn posts by using images, polls and videos on multiple platforms. • Employee advocacy programmes: Leveraging authentic employee-generated content to showcase company culture. • Candidate quality focus: Moving beyond volume metrics to emphasise quality of placements and long-term retention. If you haven’t listed/watched Sandra’s post on candidate care click here. • Content marketing: 45% of agencies plan to use content generation as a main tool for candidate and client attraction. • Social sourcing: 75% of agencies plan to utilise social sourcing strategies for candidate attraction. The shift is clear: recruitment marketing in 2025 and beyond requires authenticity, strategic channel selection, and consistent value delivery. Technology Investment and Automation An integrated tech stack that powers both growth and operational efficiency is potentially transformative for recruitment agencies in 2026. By the end of 2024, 81% of agencies were investing in AI-driven recruitment solutions, and 67% of recruiters believed that increased AI usage would be a top trend in 2025. Strategic technology priorities include: Integrated CRM and ATS systems: Disjointed systems cause inefficiencies, outdated data, slower sourcing, and missed opportunities. Research indicates that automation can reduce time to fill a position by up to 60%, whilst integrated ATS-CRM solutions help agencies close 40% more deals than those using standalone systems. Workflow automation: Automation eliminates manual, repetitive tasks, from candidate engagement workflows to AI-driven CV formatting and chatbot-powered lead capture. This enables recruiters to focus on high-value activities, such as building relationships and nurturing talent pipelines. The key insight: technology investment should drive efficiency and enhance human capabilities, not replace the relationship-building that remains central to recruitment success. Performance Measurement and KPIs Strategic prioritisation requires measurement. You can’t manage what you don’t measure, as they say. Essential recruitment KPIs include: • Financial metrics: Cost per hire, revenue per recruiter, gross profit margin. • Efficiency metrics: Time to fill, time to hire, candidate pipeline health. • Quality metrics: Quality of hire, first-year attrition, offer acceptance rate. • Relationship metrics: Candidate satisfaction, hiring manager satisfaction, client retention rates. • Activity metrics: Conversion rates by acquisition channel, source of hire effectiveness, and recruiter performance dashboards. The most successful agencies use applicant tracking systems and recruitment CRMs to automate tracking, pull reports, and monitor pipeline health. Here’s the key: define your objectives first, then identify the questions metrics will help answer, and finally determine which KPIs to track. Avoid tracking metrics simply because you can. Every KPI should inform strategic decisions. Putting It All Into Action Your Strategic Planning Process For broader strategic planning, follow these essential steps: 1. Conduct a Year-End Review: Reflect on what worked and what didn’t in 2024 to 2025. Assess financial performance, operational efficiency, and alignment with your broader vision. 2. Define Clear Goals: Avoid vague aspirations. Instead of “grow revenue,” set specific outcomes, such as “increase contract placements by 25% in Q1 2026” or “expand into healthcare recruitment niche by June 2026.” 3. Prioritise ruthlessly: Focus on just a handful of well-defined goals. Prioritisation isn’t about deciding which goals are most important; it’s about understanding what needs to be done now to enable progress later. 4. Build a Detailed Roadmap: Break down each goal into smaller steps or milestones. Assign clear responsibilities and set realistic timelines. Connect long-term objectives to everyday actions. 5. Establish Measurement Systems: Define success metrics for each priority. Ensure you have tools and processes in place to track progress. 6. Create a Decision-Making Framework: Use your strategic priorities as a filter. When new opportunities arise, ask: “Does this align with our strategic priorities?” If not, the answer should be no. Avoiding the Common Pitfalls Strategic implementation fails when companies: • Try to do too much at once, spreading resources too thin. • Set goals without clear measurement criteria. • Fail to communicate strategy throughout the organisation. • Don’t review and adjust plans regularly based on results. • Allow short-term pressures to override strategic priorities constantly. The most successful companies view strategic planning as an ongoing process, rather than a one-time exercise. They hold regular review sessions, celebrate progress, and adjust course when evidence indicates change is needed. Wrapping Up: Your Competitive Advantage Starts Here So, as you plan for 2026, the choice is clear. You can continue with scattered “spray and pray” activities that feel productive but deliver mediocre results. Or you can embrace strategic prioritisation that focuses your limited resources on high-impact areas. The evidence is compelling. Companies that set real priorities and execute with discipline consistently outperform those that don’t, whether measured by revenue growth, client retention, placement quality, or recruiter productivity. They’re not just busier; they’re more effective, more profitable, and more resilient when market conditions change. Strategic prioritisation transforms recruitment businesses from reactive order-takers into proactive strategic partners. It allows smaller agencies to compete with larger competitors by dominating specific niches rather than being mediocre generalists. It creates sustainable competitive advantages that can’t be easily replicated. Warren Buffett wisely observed: “The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.” For recruitment business owners, success in 2026 begins with having the courage to say no to scattered activities and yes to strategic focus. The question isn’t whether you can afford to prioritise strategically. It’s whether you can afford not to.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk weekend betting action and much more. The guys also discuss the MNF game. The Week 13 Weekend Rewind show opens with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers reacting to a wild Sunday night game where Denver beat Washington 27–26 in overtime despite constant swings, flags, and late chaos. They credit Marcus Mariota for filling in effectively, though rookie Jaden Daniels is expected back next week. Both agree Washington's two-point try was obvious given their season situation. They note Denver stays atop the AFC West at 10–2 while the Commanders fall despite fighting hard. Mackenzie expects fatigue effects next week because both teams played high-volume offensive snaps. Survivor carnage dominates the middle of the show: Thanksgiving wiped out over 850 entries as every underdog won (Packers over Lions, Cowboys over Chiefs, Bengals over Ravens, Bears over Eagles). They discuss hedging strategy, noting a six-way tie in the Grandissimo contest paid each over $1M. By Sunday only 45 entries remained with one more pending Monday night. Biggest downgrades: Vikings after J.J. McCarthy's disastrous 4-INT outing amid confusion over concussion protocol; Chiefs fall from 5.5-point favorites to 3.5 vs Houston as the market finally stops giving them elite benefit of the doubt; Rams downgraded after losing outright as double-digit favorites to Carolina; Lions downgraded partly due to Goff's slide and Amon-Ra St. Brown's injury. Upgrades: Cowboys after back-to-back wins over Eagles and Chiefs; Jets with Tyrod Taylor playing efficiently and running for the winning TD; Bears dominating the Eagles on the ground and maybe becoming legitimate NFC North contenders; Bengals with Burrow healthy again; Texans improving behind CJ Stroud, rookie receivers, and a defense that continues to outperform expectations. They analyze division markets: AFC South tight among Colts, Jaguars, Texans; NFC East still Eagles-favored but Cowboys lurking; NFC North wide open with Chicago rising. They move to Monday Night Football: Patriots (10–2) vs Giants (2–10). Drake May is surging in MVP odds, and New England has won nine straight with strong defense and Travion Henderson emerging as their lead back. The Giants are better ATS than straight up on the road but struggle to finish games. Munaf likes Henderson's rushing yards over given New York's awful run defense (6.2 YPC allowed, 219 given to Gibbs last week). Mackenzie prefers Drake May under 245.5 passing yards, predicting Vrabel leans on the run. They mention Jackson Dart returning for New York and expect high pass attempts if they fall behind. They wrap with NBA chatter: whether the Thunder can break the 73-win record; Mackenzie predicts around 70–12. They close discussing the 49ers' strong defensive form, Purdy's connection with Kittle, and optimism for San Francisco's division race before signing off with promo codes and reminders for upcoming pods.

Belonging at work is one of those things everyone claims to care about… right up until someone shows up as their full self and suddenly it's “not professional!” I hate the idea that someone has to assimilate to belong, so Erica Lydell and I pull the curtain all the way back on masking, identity, neurodiversity, and why belonging is less warm fuzzy feeling and more daily emotional CrossFit.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk college football betting for week 14. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith open with intensity after motivational commands highlight football's core themes of physicality, hustle, and leaving no doubt. Warner introduces the final-weekend discussion focused on four major games and best bets, noting unstable internet before asking Smith for last-week takeaways. Smith explains their split best bets, Michigan pulling away from Maryland, Georgia Tech's momentum fading, and Missouri–Oklahoma unfolding exactly as handicapped. With top teams unchanged and coaching moves beginning, he sees minimal surprises. Warner commits to unders and transitions to Texas vs Texas A&M, asking whether Texas can reach the playoff. Smith says Texas needs significant help due to ranking position. Warner praises Texas's rivalry history but questions A&M's legitimacy; Smith sees A&M as strong but just below true title contenders, citing defense, run game, receivers, and inconsistent QB play while noting a major road win. Discussion shifts to the betting line: A&M -2. Smith expects the line to stay between -2 and -2.5, noting Sarkisian's 2–8 ATS record as a dog and emphasizing Texas's need to run with Wisner and Baxter while exploiting A&M's vulnerable secondary. Warner doubts Texas's offensive line but finds it hard to resist Texas as a home dog. They move to Auburn vs Alabama, where Alabama is -6. Smith stresses Alabama must win but has struggled historically in such spots. He highlights Auburn QB Deuce Knight's 239 passing yards, 162 rushing yards, and six touchdowns versus Mercer while cautioning about competition level. Alabama's 8–3 ATS record, rivalry history, and Auburn's weak ATS numbers shape his expectation of a 7–10 point Alabama win. Warner questions why the line isn't higher; Smith cites rivalry volatility and uncertainty surrounding Knight. Warner then transitions to Ohio State vs Michigan, with Ohio State -10. Smith outlines playoff implications: Ohio State is effectively secure; Michigan must win. He details Ohio State injuries, including Jeremiah Smith likely under 50 percent, and emphasizes Michigan's physicality, home field, and improved health at running back. Michigan, he argues, can stay within the number by forcing Ohio State to run. Warner agrees the line feels inflated and sees classic value in a motivated home underdog. Next is Vanderbilt vs Tennessee, with Vandy +2.5. Smith calls it one of Vanderbilt's biggest games ever, noting no bad losses, quality wins, Tennessee's inconsistency, and Diego Pavia's strong recent play. Tennessee's vulnerable secondary and potential for explosive scoring lead him to prefer the over 66 and to lean Tennessee if betting but to wait on the line movement. Warner questions whether Vanderbilt's performance is inflating perception; Smith argues the line reflects Tennessee's flaws more than Vanderbilt's rise. For best bets, Smith selects Washington as a home dog due to Oregon's injuries and Washington's balanced offense and defensive pressure, projecting a close score. Warner takes Michigan +10 for value, motivation, and home-field strength, closing the show with humor and gratitude. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL betting for Thanksgiving Day games. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji preview the Thanksgiving NFL slate and associated fantasy dilemmas, highlighting how Week 13's early schedule compresses preparation for managers chasing final playoff berths. They open with Packers-Lions, noting Detroit's strong ATS history at home under Dan Campbell and the matchup's volatility, with questions surrounding Josh Jacobs' health and Sam LaPorta's absence. Munaf favors the game total over 48.5 and projects Jared Goff to shoulder more offensive load, while Rod echoes concern about Detroit's run-game efficiency versus Green Bay's stout rush defense. Prop discussions lean under on Jameer Gibbs rushing, over on Jameson Williams receiving, and cautious optimism for Jordan Love's pass-catchers. Moving to Chiefs-Cowboys, both hosts frame the matchup as a clash of two widely polarizing franchises, debating Dallas' impressive comeback and second-half defensive shutout against Philadelphia versus Kansas City's regression in one-score games. Munaf backs Dallas +3.5 and expects a pass-heavy Kansas City approach, highlighting Patrick Mahomes' yardage upside and Rashee Rice's emergence, while Rod argues that the Cowboys' shifting receiver hierarchy—George Pickens ascending while CeeDee Lamb shows uncharacteristic miscues—creates fantasy uncertainty. They explore prop angles including Kareem Hunt rushing overs, noting his rising usage and recent efficiency. For the nightcap, Bengals-Ravens, they question Cincinnati's decision to rush Joe Burrow back but still prefer Bengals +7 given Baltimore's weak ATS record as a home favorite and historically close division games. They forecast a potential shootout, recommending Joe Burrow passing overs, Derrick Henry rushing overs based on Cincinnati's vulnerable run defense, and Chase Brown unders on rushing but overs on receiving. In fantasy flex debates, they compare David Montgomery vs. Romeo Doubs, Emmanuel Wilson's viability if Jacobs sits, Mike Gesicki as a T-Higgins-replacement option, and the perpetual headache of choosing a Chiefs wideout, with Xavier Worthy a viable pivot given Rashee Rice's injury status. They close by reminding listeners to enjoy football without abandoning bankroll discipline, emphasizing that Thanksgiving should remain a day of food, family, and measured wagering rather than reckless betting.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contests for week 13. The hosts break down Week 13 NFL contests with Survivor strategy and ATS picks, starting with a recap of Week 12 where 39 Survivor entries were eliminated, mostly on the Raiders, leaving 900 entries worth about $20.8k each in Circa and all six Grandissimo entries still alive worth $1.15M each. Mackenzie gives his pick: Broncos −6 vs Washington, citing Denver's defense, Washington's weak home field, Mariota likely starting, and the strength of road favorites off a bye. Munaf agrees, noting Denver's scoring consistency and Washington's defensive issues. Dave cautions that if Daniels plays he'd lean Washington but otherwise sides with Denver. Dave's pick is Cowboys over Chiefs on Thanksgiving, arguing KC is not fully right, Dallas proved something with their comeback, and Mahomes' team may not handle adversity as well as past years. Mackenzie likes Dallas with the points and cites a 6–25 trend for non-home Thursday teams off Sunday OT. Munaf praises Dallas' defensive second half vs Philly and KC's regression in close games. Munaf's pick is Rams −10.5 at Carolina, expecting a two-TD win based on Carolina's poor performances vs winning teams, Rams' offensive rhythm, Stafford's MVP-level play, and LAR's defense generating turnovers. Dave and Mack agree Carolina is weak and McVay is trustworthy as a road favorite. They then discuss Bengals vs Ravens: Burrow returns, Higgins out, Ravens inconsistent, Bengals defense weak, possible Derrick Henry heavy game, and lean Bengals +7 or under. Survivor strategy: Circa splits Thanksgiving as 13A and Sunday as 13B; big favorites include Ravens, Eagles, Rams, Jags, Seahawks, Chargers. Dave prefers Eagles as safest pick; Munaf agrees. Mack and Dan's live Survivor entries are using Eagles for 13A and Chargers for 13B but Mack is nervous about both sides. They warn against Jacksonville due to Tennessee's recent covers and Cam Ward improving. They close with holiday notes, thanking listeners, emphasizing family time, and joking about tryptophan and naps. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Learn about emergency preparedness in youth sports, focusing on cardiac safety, the Project Adam initiative, and the status of the "Heartsafe" program with Tom Woods. Q: What is the 10-second version of focusing on cardiac emergency preparedness? A: Review statistics on sudden death in young athletes. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death. Target the most likely areas where incidents occur and prioritize time and equipment-sensitive responses. Q: How did the Damar Hamlin incident negatively impact perceptions of youth sports safety? A: Some may falsely believe youth athletes are inherently safe because a highly prepared incident was effectively managed in the NFL. However, youth settings lack the extensive resources and numerous providers available in professional sports. This incident highlights the need to increase effective response capabilities and empower more individuals to provide care. Q: Is youth sports a bigger industry or does it bring in more money? A: When including grassroots sports, the financial investment in youth sports is substantial. It is crucial to make reasonable investments in equipment, procedures, and policies that maximize safety and efficient use of time to ensure overall safety. Q: Do club sports typically have athletic trainers (ATs) or automated external defibrillators (AEDs)? A: This is a critical point; clubs should invest more in youth safety. Efforts like Bob Marley's network aim to bring ATs to these settings. More needs to be done beyond large tournaments, extending to daily operations, especially given that larger clubs may have many teams practicing simultaneously. Q: What steps are needed for club sports to align on safety protocols? A: Project Adam and recent legislation offer programs specifically designed to make youth sports cardiac safe. These initiatives provide a framework for clubs to enhance their emergency preparedness. Q: What are the specifics of Project Adam? A: Our school became involved with Project Adam after recognizing areas needing attention in our setting. It offers a systematic approach to achieving cardiac safety. Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) is an affiliate site for Project Adam, providing numerous resources. Q: Why might Project Adam not be widely known? A: The exact reason is unclear. However, presentations like this provide an opportunity to spread the message. Discussions with directors at TCH and Cook Children's indicate that some areas, like Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), are more involved. We need to disseminate this information, especially with increased requirements for cardiac responsiveness. Q: How do schools or districts achieve "Heartsafe" program status? A: Achieving "Heartsafe" status involves a step-by-step process through Project Adam. Organizations register, complete a checklist, and consult with directors and affiliate contacts for questions. Upon completion, they receive "Heartsafe school/program/district" designation. Q: Is the "Heartsafe" program similar to SafeSport and currently in process? A: Yes, it is similar to SafeSport and is an ongoing process. Q: What legislative action is impacting emergency preparedness? A: House bills have been passed and are expected to take effect on September 1st, following the governor's signature. This legislation aims to enhance cardiac responsiveness.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for Week 12. The guys also preview Thanksgiving Day football games. RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers break down the NFL Week 12 results, focusing on phony finals, line moves, quarterback value, and upcoming Thanksgiving games. They note several games where the winner failed to cover despite controlling yards and efficiency, including the Patriots over the Bengals, where New England dominated yards per play but failed in multiple goal-line stands. They discuss the evolving market perception of the Patriots, schedule strength adjustments, and how priors reduce by late season. They review the Burrow injury line movement and how the market prices uncertainty, concluding the Bengals' performance showed the impact of disappointment when a QB ruled “possible” ultimately sits. They examine Seattle–Tennessee, emphasizing how big favorites coast late and how punt-return TDs distort stats, along with Cleveland–Las Vegas, highlighting Chip Kelly's firing and expected offensive regression under new coordinator Greg Olson. They debate Sanders' surprisingly explosive plays for the Browns and how film people upgraded him despite Fezzik's skepticism. They analyze defensive player of the year odds, Miles Garrett's sack trajectory, and how props handle fractional sacks. Detroit–Giants and Jacksonville–Cardinals illustrate end-game analytics, field-goal vs fourth-down decisions, and how many outcomes hinge on coaches avoiding going up six. They revisit Dallas–Philly, discussing the Eagles' tendency toward half-game lulls, Dallas' big-play advantage, and midseason defense regression. They consider Atlanta's underrated strength after beating New Orleans and how overreactions to one bad QB performance distort markets. They break down Minnesota's QB crisis, O'Connell's ability to scheme around backups, and the incoming third-stringer Brosmer, speculating he may be an upgrade over McCarthy. They highlight the Rams' surge behind Stafford's MVP-level play, improved running game, and elite pass rush, contrasting with Tampa's limitations. Late games include Baltimore–Cincinnati with Burrow returning on a short week but missing Higgins, leading to under considerations. Thanksgiving picks: Fezzik's best bet is Green Bay–Detroit under due to slow pace, strong defenses, and divisional familiarity; RJ's best bet is Dallas +3.5 vs Kansas City, citing the brutal Sunday-to-Thursday overtime trend (6–25 ATS) for road teams and KC's emotional drain after a long OT game; they also like Cincinnati team-total under 21.5.

In this episode, Kortney Harmon and Chris Hesson join Benjamin Mena on The Elite Recruiter Podcast to examine how AI agents are reshaping the recruiting workflow and challenging the traditional KPIs many teams still rely on. They explore why sourcing is shifting, why volume-based activity metrics no longer reflect real performance, and how automation is redefining the recruiter's day-to-day responsibilities.Kortney and Chris break down how AI agents now support sourcing, research, data cleanup, enrichment, and workflow execution—returning hours each week while exposing the widening disconnect between legacy activity tracking and modern recruiter impact. They also discuss how measuring calls, emails, and task volume can unintentionally penalize recruiters who leverage automation effectively, and why leaders must adopt outcome-based metrics grounded in influence, advisory work, and relationship-building. The conversation highlights how living resumes, real-time data enrichment, and agent-driven workflows inside the ATS can unlock value long buried in existing databases.Listen in to explore how automation changes the work—and how humans elevate the results.________________Follow Benjamin Mena LinkedIn: LinkedIn: BenjaminBenjamin Mena with Select Source Solutions: hereThe Elite Recruiter Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theeliterecruiter/Follow Crelate on LinkedIn: CrelateWant to learn more about Crelate?

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action for Week 12 and preview MNF 49ers at Panthers. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NFL Week 12, starting with the Rams' dominant win over the Buccaneers and the early 21-0 surge built by Matthew Stafford, whose MVP odds jumped as Baker Mayfield exited with a shoulder injury; they note the Rams' rise as Super Bowl favorites and discuss how New England's coaching and Drake May's progress have shifted expectations, while the Buccaneers' divisional outlook hinges on Mayfield's MRI; Survivor results showed minimal carnage with most players advancing but big picks resting on the 49ers Monday night; downgrades hit the Raiders after firing OC Chip Kelly, the Vikings after J.J. McCarthy struggles, and the Saints after more offensive issues, while Mack criticizes Minnesota's QB choice by comparing McCarthy's historically poor EPA to JaMarcus Russell; upgrades include a major market move on the Bengals with Joe Burrow's expected return despite their lost season, plus rising confidence in the Texans behind an elite defense and the Colts' solid metrics; the Cardinals get a slight bump while Tampa projects a bigger drop when Mayfield's injury is priced in; they preview 49ers-Panthers, discussing San Francisco's healthier offense with Purdy, McCaffrey, Kittle, and Pearsall, noting defensive injuries but expecting the Niners to roll against a Panthers team with inflated results and limited passing production from Bryce Young, though Carolina's Ted McMillan stands out as a key weapon; they outline prop angles including Young's passing overs and Kittle's receiving overs, and evaluate paths for a Panthers upset that mostly require an offensive explosion against a depleted SF defense; they also highlight Rico Dowdle's emergence, Young's likely high attempts, and the Niners' efficiency edge; the hosts touch on Dallas' comeback over Philadelphia, concerns about the Eagles' struggling run game, Hurts' limitations on third down, and why Munaf prefers the Rams over the Eagles in the NFC; they close with best bets—Mack taking Cowboys +3.5 on Thanksgiving due to the Chiefs' overtime-to-short-week ATS trend, Munaf laying 49ers -7.5 on Monday night expecting turnovers and a comfortable SF win, and Mack calling an exact 42-20 Niners score—then wrap with notes on Survivor hopes, Thanksgiving content, and a beard-themed sign-off.

Okay, friends…this episode is pure fun (okay, a little usual chaos too) in the best way, because I sat down with my actual direct report, Madison Montgomery, who confessed ON AIR that she has never listened to my podcast. And honestly? Fair. We talk generational gaps (including the infamous “generational shits” typo I will never emotionally recover from) and the magical Venn diagram that forms when an HR Millennial and a Gen Z truther try to get work done together. It's lowkey unhinged, but I hope some of you have this much fun with your own direct reports!

This week, I sit down with Sarah Doody to talk about why so many designers feel stuck, and why it has nothing to do with talent. We explore how designers can apply their own UX process to their careers, create clarity through “compass statements,” and build a roadmap that actually leads somewhere.What would happen if you stopped treating your portfolio like the product—and started treating yourself like the product?This week, I'm joined by UX researcher, product designer, and career strategist Sarah Doody to unpack a hard truth: most designers aren't broken; they're just not applying their own process to their careers. After years of helping teams build the right products, Sarah noticed the same patterns designers use at work rarely show up in their job search. That gap is exactly what inspired her to start Career Strategy Lab.In our conversation, we dig into the symptoms of “identity fog,” why so many designers struggle to articulate their own value, and how the industry's obsession with FANG feeds unrealistic expectations. Sarah breaks down her “Product of You” framework—designing yourself, marketing yourself, and selling yourself—and shows how a single compass statement can influence everything from what projects you showcase to which jobs you apply for.We also talk about experimentation, metrics, tailoring your materials, and the surprising reasons why designers waste months tweaking their portfolios without improving their outcomes. If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or unsure how to stand out in a crowded market, this episode will give you the clarity and the next steps you've been missing.Give it a listen. You might walk away with a completely new way to think about your career.Topics:• 01:57 – Feeling Stuck in Your UX Career• 03:28 – Understanding Career Identity Fog• 06:00 – The Importance of an Elevator Pitch• 09:57 – Applying UX Processes to Your Career• 23:24 – Experimentation and Metrics in Job Search• 26:39 – Tailoring Your Resume and Portfolio• 34:02 – The Role of ATS and AI in Job Applications• 37:47 – Rethinking Success Beyond FANG Companies• 39:40 – Golden Handcuffs: The Reality of Working at FANG• 41:17 – Creating a Life Roadmap Before a Career Roadmap• 43:39 – Defining Your Perfect Day and Career Goals• 45:17 – The Importance of Total Compensation Packages• 46:57 – Effective Job Search Strategies and Networking• 48:47 – Documenting Your Work and Portfolio Tips• 53:56 – The Value of Paid Career CoachingHelpful Links:• Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn• The Career Strategy Lab• The Career Strategy Podcast—Thanks for listening!
