Shahayra Majumder and Jonathan Chizever - Hydrate IV Bar Madison, WI On Focusing on What Really Matters: "They're passionate about their health, which is your only wealth at the end of the day." What good is money if you're spending your time hurting and not able to enjoy this great gift of life that we have all been given? Health is arguably the most important thing to focus on, to make sure you can do the things you want to do. Whether that is growing a business or enjoying time with friends. Shahayra and Jonathan set out to help boost the health of the midwest by starting a Hydrate IV Bar franchise in Madison, Wisconsin. Through our candid conversation you will learn what is a IV bar, why do people get IV drips and how they started this business in the IV drip world. Learn how they identified a gap in the Midwest's wellness market, navigated the highly regulated and rapidly evolving IV bar industry, and brought a community-focused approach to health and hydration. Are you curious about how IV therapy went from hospital wards to vibrant wellness lounges? Or what it takes to build a franchise rooted in both science and local values? This conversation will open your eyes to the business challenges, customer stories, and passion that drive this growing trend. Shahayra and Jonathan share some great insights into franchise selection, the science behind vitamin infusions, building a winning team, and the power of connection within a unique new “third space” for health-minded people. Listen as they explain the power of IV drips and how they can help you in your health and life journey. Enjoy!

He's not perfect in running marathons, but he's walking around without his hunch in his cane. I check in with his wife the next day, like, hey, how's he doing? And she's like, I couldn't believe it. I woke up and I walk out and he was up before me, which is rare. And he's sitting in his chair in the living room, giant smile plastered across his face. And. And it's like, what's going on? And then I see him get out of the chair, stand up with no cane, no hunch, and he's like, I feel better than I felt in a long time because of something that we all.

So, Sahara, Jonathan, how are you guys doing today? Jonathan Chizever [00:01:06]: Wonderful. Excited to be here. James Kademan [00:01:08]: Yeah. Shahayra Majumder [00:01:08]: Woot, woot. James Kademan [00:01:09]: Let's talk about Hydrate IV bar. I don't know what in the world an IV bar is, and I bet a lot of people don't either. So let's just start with what is an IV bar? Jonathan Chizever [00:01:18]: Happy to tell them you want to go or want me to go? Shahayra Majumder [00:01:20]: Um, yeah, I'll kick it off if you want to add in, if there's anything that I miss. But have you ever had an IV before? James Kademan [00:01:28]: I had. Yes. I had a saline IV thing when I had a. A gut thing, a stress gut thing Shahayra Majumder [00:01:35]: way back when, probably in the hospital. James Kademan [00:01:37]: Yeah. Yeah. Not a fan. Shahayra Majumder [00:01:39]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:41]: Not a fan of being in the hospital. Shahayra Majumder [00:01:42]: Yeah, right. Yeah, I. A lot of people are used to thinking about IVs being something that you get in the hospital or at urgent care in an emerg situation. But an IV bar actually takes those services outside of an emergency situation and lets you be a little more proactive about rapidly rehydrating your body. James Kademan [00:02:04]: All right. Shahayra Majumder [00:02:05]: For your different health and wellness goals. There's lots that we can do with supplementing things that you might be deficient in or if you're just feeling certain ailments that could be improved with additional vitamin supplements, meditation, or hydration. That's usually why people come to an IV bar. For me, it's been more of a proactive thing. I realized as I started doing IVs on a regular basis, I felt more energy. I was getting sick less. I didn't really let anything get me down as much. Like during cold and flu season. Shahayra Majumder [00:02:49]: Yeah. Anything that you would add to that, Jonathan Chizever [00:02:52]: I think that sums it up. Great. Yeah. James Kademan [00:02:54]: All right. How do you get in the IV bar business? Shahayra Majumder [00:02:58]: You take that one. Jonathan Chizever [00:03:01]: So we both, in our travels, neither of us are from Madison. I've been here 10 years. Sahara's been here seven. And we've both, in our travels and living other places, seen this as a more established concept in other places. And, you know, in the Midwest, whether it's fashion trends or wellness modalities, we're generally the last to get just about everything. And so here we are. And so, you know, IVs have saved us in numerous occasions from feeling bad, and really, until we got in the business, didn't yet understand how much it can make you feel good in a consistent and proactive sense. But we just saw this as a market that makes so much sense for it, because, you know, what people traditionally associate it with is hangovers, at least in the selective sense, which it is phenomenal for, I've heard, at least. Jonathan Chizever [00:03:54]: But. But beyond that, you know, like, the founder of our brand, she got into this. She was a Broncos cheerleader, and she noticed all the guys in the team are doing these IVs routinely, all the time. And that was part of her origin story of getting into this. And so athletes love it, and athletes have been ahead of the curve and, you know, taking advantage of this. So for athletics and drinking Madison, we have a lot of bubbles, and turns out. James Kademan [00:04:24]: Yeah, yeah. Jonathan Chizever [00:04:25]: So. And then beyond that, we also have a very vibrant wellness scene. You know, we have a population that likes to take care of themselves. And, I mean, in so many ways, it made sense, but it was something that we saw being severely underserved. So it wasn't like we wanted to start a business. And we're like, what business do we do? It was like we noticed that there was a gap in the availability of these types of services in a place that it makes so much sense to have them. And the rest kind of naturally came from there. James Kademan [00:04:55]: Right on. So did you hunt down a franchise, or did you get introduced to the franchise? And you're like, yes, that's what we want. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:03]: Little column A, little column B. I did interview, like, every franchise under the sun doing IV stuff. James Kademan [00:05:09]: All in the IV stuff. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:10]: Yes. James Kademan [00:05:11]: Okay, how many are we talking here? Shahayra Majumder [00:05:12]: Oh, my God. I think I Started talking to folks in September of 2024, and then we signed our franchise agreement February of 25. So, yeah, I mean, that gives you a little gauge. It took me months and months of. James Kademan [00:05:27]: So just talking like, I don't know how many franchise I've seen. Are we talking five? We talking 50? Jonathan Chizever [00:05:32]: Oh, no, I'd say a dozen and a half maybe. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:35]: Yeah, maybe closer to like the 20 or 30. Jonathan Chizever [00:05:37]: Wow. Shahayra Majumder [00:05:39]: Yeah, franchise franchises. And there are a few that dominate the market. There are a few that are bigger. But what's interesting is this industry, it's very highly regulated, but the regulations are different state to state. So if you know a little bit about franchising, you know that franchises have to be registered in every single state. And some states are harder to get registered in. And so I talked to a lot of the folks that I was able to get their franchisees on the phone and get honest opinions about the kind of support they're receiving, how the market has received them. I particularly talk to folks in the Midwest or familiar with the Midwest because, you know, the market in the Midwest is not going to be what it is in, you know, Nashville, Tennessee, for example, where you're getting a lot more tourism and. James Kademan [00:06:38]: Yeah, sober me up. Sober me up. ...

The first issue of Imbibe Magazine hit store shelves twenty years ago in 2006. It was a fascinating time to be a drinks magazine because drinks – and magazines – have changed A LOT since then. Paul Clarke, Imbibe's Editor in Chief sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the last twenty years in the drinks publication's history: from its Y2K roots to the heady days of the cocktail revolution in the 2010s to the bad situations we've all had to make the best of in 2020 and beyond. Paul gets into what has and hasn't changed, what modern drinkers want in a cocktail program, and how it's always important to make sure you're serving your readers… and your listeners first.PLUS, Greg went to Canada and guess what's in full swing up there?

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Sao Paolo, Brazil Welcome back to the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. The FAQ is: Leslie asked, "After my injury/ operation, I'm concerned about travel. Can you tell me how hard it is to resume my former Step (1-5) for Travel? How should I set my expectations for future travel after I am healed? Answer: The step for your next travel may be different than your last trip. For example, you may have been on an African safari, and that was a Step 5. Now you have had a broken bone, or you have had surgery, and you are wondering how to get back out there on your next adventure. You may need to re-group, drop down a step or two, and figure out your confidence again. You can always go on an overnight trip to a nearby city and start with Step 1 travel once again. There may be some things you missed or never saw that you've been meaning to visit, and now would be a good time to do so. I am not a medical doctor, so follow your doctor's advice on travel. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge in Sao Paulo If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into health and wellness, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips and ways to improve your fun while solo, including areas like Sao Paolo, Brazil. You can find the series at the link in the description. See Book A for addressing this concern. Look for Part C, which is coming soon. Find it on the website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is São Paulo, Brazil. São Paulo is the capital of Brazil and home to 22M people, a Step 5 destination. São Paulo is worth seeing for women who like culture, neighborhoods, museums, and food, but it is not the easiest first-choice city in South America for a solo woman over 50. It can feel gray, crowded, and tiring. The traffic is real. The scale is real. The safety concerns are real. But if you stay in the right area, move with intention, and do not try to conquer the whole city, you can have a rich two-day visit that feels strong, smart, and independent. I booked a cheap place on a travel website in São Paolo near the airport. Please listen to my mistakes at the end to understand why not to do that. If you just arrived, you may want to take the metro into town. Get a 24-hour pass for about $.-5 Or just buy individual tickets. Metro here is free for people over 60, so just show your passport upon arrival at the station. I have a story at the end about that also. If you are planning to go, here is a 2-day itinerary, along with a few of my comments. Day 1: Start with the easier parts of the city Morning: Avenida Paulista and MASP area Begin on Avenida Paulista because it is one of the city's best-known and most practical starting points for a solo visitor. It is central, busy, and lined with museums, cafes, shops, and hotels. MASP is one of the city's landmark museums and a strong anchor stop, rather than just wandering without a plan. São Paulo's official visitor materials also highlight Paulista as one of the city's defining areas. Midday: Long lunch instead of overpacking the day Do not try to "do São Paulo" in one sweep. Build in a proper lunch near Paulista or Jardins. This city can wear you out. Traffic, sidewalks, noise, and decision fatigue are real. Afternoon: Parque Ibirapuera Head to Ibirapuera Park for a calmer second half of the day. Official city materials list it among the major attractions, and it is a better late-afternoon choice than pushing deeper into more chaotic areas when your energy is lower. Evening: Dinner close to your hotel This is where I would be critical. São Paulo is not the city where I would tell a solo woman to "go out and see what happens" at night. Have dinner in a well-reviewed area near where you are staying, and use a car service back if needed. Day 2: Morning: Liberdade Liberdade is one of São Paulo's signature neighborhoods and gives you a different side of the city. Go in the morning, when you are fresh, and the area feels more manageable. It is photogenic and culturally distinct. It felt like an asian-like atmosphere for me. I felt the Japanese and other asian cultural influences, which made it different than other parts of the city. What to watch out for: Do not confuse "interesting" with "relaxing." Some parts can feel crowded, messy, and overstimulating. Keep valuables out of sight and do not stand around consulting your phone at the curb. Lunch: Stay put, then move intentionally Have lunch there or in a nearby planned stop. Avoid zigzagging across the city without a clear reason. In São Paulo, too much transit can waste time and cause more hassle. Afternoon option A: Municipal Market, if you like food stops The Mercado Municipal is iconic and worth considering for a focused visit, not an all-day outing. Go, sample, look around, then leave. Afternoon option B: Easier finish in Jardins or back to Paulista If you want a smoother second day, return to a more polished area such as Jardins or the Paulista zone. This is the better choice if you are tired, jet-lagged, or feeling cautious. Evening: End early I would lean toward Paulista/Jardins rather than picking a cheaper stay in a less convenient area. That is not because those neighborhoods are risk-free. They are not. It is because being in a more established, service-rich area usually makes solo travel simpler and lowers friction. São Paulo can be rewarding, but it is not a city to treat casually. Official advisories warn about crime, including street crime, and São Paulo's own Metro provides a dedicated safety reporting channel, which tells you something important: security is an active issue, not an afterthought. "São Paulo is not the city to improvise, but it is a city that rewards a solo woman who travels with judgment." This is not the kind of destination I would describe as easy. It is not relaxed. It is not as charming as some other cities in Brazil. And it is definitely not a place where I would suggest that a solo woman just show up and wander around without a plan. But here is the honest part. Interesting does not always mean comfortable. Some areas can feel crowded and overstimulating. So go early, stay alert, and do not stand on a sidewalk corner looking down at your phone like a lost tourist. São Paulo can be rewarding, but it is not casual travel. You need to pay attention. I would not wear flashy jewelry. I would not hold my phone out while walking. I would not arrive in a brand-new neighborhood after dark. And I would not assume that a place is fine just because it looks busy. Busy does not always mean safe. Another point for women over 50: choose your hotel area carefully. I would spend a bit more to stay in a better-located neighborhood rather than save money and make every outing harder. In a city like São Paulo, convenience is not a luxury. It is part of your safety strategy. São Paulo is better for the traveler who can say, "I do not need this city to entertain me every minute. I just want to experience it intelligently." If you go, keep your schedule realistic, stay alert, and let the city come to you in pieces. You do not need to conquer São Paulo. You just need to experience the right parts of it with confidence. I was able to store my luggage at the airport for the day for about $10. Worth it, so I did not have to carry it all day. The storage is in Terminal 2: Arrivals. Turn left. Luggage storage- "Guarda-Volumes", near parking garage entrance at far end of terminal. There is an express train from Luz to the city every 2 hours. It's called. "GRU Airport train " Or CPTM. Take the free GRU SHUTTLE BUS. See show notes for many details. Espresso aeroporto, 60 mins long was the ride. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Museum_of_Art https://artsandculture.google.com/story/RAURhHm2wnzb1g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jardim_da_Luz https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g303631-d311969-Reviews-Pinacoteca_do_Estado_de_Sao_Paulo-Sao_Paulo_State_of_Sao_Paulo.html When I first arrived in Luz, I got off at Luz station. Beautiful building. Ornate. The Portuguese Language Center was located there, too, in the Parque de Luz. The police were guarding, but felt safe. Beautiful trees and a fresh smell after the rain. Walked to the Pina Art Museum. Lots of school groups. Modern. Plus some traditional: films, sculptures, paintings, 3d designs. Walked over a bridge to a long street still close to Luz. Walked about a mile. Stores and parking garages mostly. Optical, toys, and industrial products. Found Church of San Bento. Praying for them and others in this beautiful building. No video allowed. —————— My three Sao Paolo missteps: Spilling yogurt all over me early in the morning. Table, clothes, floor, everywhere. What a mess. Be more careful around yogurt containers. In the San Bento metro station, the Woman at the counter would not give me free subway access. She sent me to the ticket booth to buy a ticket. I showed my passport there, and she said, Go back there. So I did. I told her my age. Finally, she smiled and let me pass. Maybe I looked too young for the free transport. Booking a room near the airport that was not in a good neighborhood. Lots of reasons not to walk at night. Bars on the doors and windows here.

I didn't think it was possible but Trump's Golden Age is making the NBA great again. It's true. And on Wednesday night, they are calling a shot by a player from Jefferson City, Missouri the most iconic shot in NY Knicks history. Taylor Swift went wild and a whole lot of people are feeling included by this league again. In the middle of the bombing in Iran, their leaders called Trump on the phone and asked him to stop. He told them to sign a deal or he's going to bomb them every day going forward. Will this do it? Who knows? Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is the star of the congressional baseball game as the GOP crushes the Dems... again. But it's the uniforms the democrats wore that are the real story. KC has released a list of bars that will be open 23 hours a day for the World Cup. Zac Brown is proud to sing the anthem at UFC 250 Sunday night. Patrick Mahomes gets a new contract that sets all kinds of records. The Royals blow one against the Rangers on Pride night and Seth Lugo is injured. And Charles Barkley is our Final Final again.
A bill signed by Gov. Maura Healey will allow bars in Massachusetts to serve alcohol until 3 a.m. through July 31. The measure is intended to support the greater Boston economy by capitalizing on increased tourism associated with the FIFA World Cup and Tall Ships events. Do you believe an additional hour of bar service will significantly boost the economy?

What can you choose to create as a business? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action Simone Milasas talks building a business with choices, questions, contribution, possibilities and chaos. Your business doesn't have to be stressful and you don't have to be overwhelmed. If you have the mindset that you are stressed, overwhelmed or in burnout, you are the one creating that. There is a different choice available. Let's build a business done different! Questions And Tools: "What awareness did I gain from this?" "What relaxation can I be with my business (project/idea) today?" "Is this relevant?" "What can I be today?" "All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory." "I'm having this. I'm choosing this. No matter what it takes, no matter what it looks like." "Show me business what you would like to be." Tools: Business isn't guaranteed to be successful. You've got to be ready to pivot. You can't control a business; you need to navigate it. Stop focusing in on your business and start relaxing. Are you trying to prove your worth rather than know your worth? Sit and just BE with your business What choice can you make today? Where is your energy required? Is your energy required today? Chaos creates. Havoc is a destructive energy. When you are willing to be out of control, you will have chaos. Pull energy into your business. Have so much joy in everything you choose. Engage. Create a flow. Business is not about being harsh; it's about creating that invitation. Allow your business to show you what else is possible. Get your Bars run. If you are experiencing 'overwhelm' momentarily change what you are doing. What are you making relevant that is not relevant? If you were going to live for the next 100 years/300 years/500 years, what would you choose? Does it matter what you get done today? Include your body in your business; include your body in everything you choose. You have to ask for it. Don't be invested in the outcome Let the business show you what next. You don't need money, you choose money. What reason and justification are you using to not just start? Don't delay. Start. You've got to be willing to choose it. Everywhere you haven't allowed yourself to relax with your business, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion?

Step into Episode 215 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Scott and Josh, co-founders of Craft Culture Draft Solutions, to pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked profit leaks in the bar and restaurant business — your draft beer system. From foamy pours and dirty lines to bad CO2 pressure and undertrained bartenders, these two Arizona-based draft pros break down exactly why money is literally going down your drain, and what you can do about it right now.Founded on April 1st, 2022, Craft Culture was born out of a shared passion for doing this work the right way — with 25+ years of industry experience behind Scott and 10 years of hands-on install and service work behind Josh. Together they bring a rare mix of technical expertise, hospitality roots, and genuine service-first mentality to a niche most bar owners barely think about. The conversation covers the science of temperature and CO2, the danger of a walk-in cooler flooded with gas (yes, it nearly happened to Scott), keg yields that should hit 95% but often drop to 50%, and what a red-yellow-green system health report can do for your beverage program. Delo also gets the scoop on their current big push: free draft system health checks for bars and restaurants across Arizona — and why they're giving it away.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:17) Delo's Intro, Batching Episodes & Why In-Person Always Wins(2:17 - 6:12) Scott's Origin Story: Hensley, Micromatic, Austin, and Starting Craft Culture(6:12 - 8:00) Josh's Background: Navy, Trucking, Logistics & Becoming a Draft Nerd(8:00 - 12:00) The Real Cost of Foam: Temperature, CO2, and Keg Yield Math(12:00 - 14:20) Line Cleaning, Off Flavors, and Bartender Training That Saves Profit(14:20 - 18:05) The YouTube Channel, Free Phone Calls, and Owning Your Beverage Program(18:05 - 21:30) Wine, Cocktails & Coffee on Tap: Why 304 Stainless Steel Matters(21:30 - 26:15) How to Find Craft Culture: The Guild, Distributors, Breweries & Word of Mouth(26:15 - 32:00) Free Draft System Health Checks: What's Included and Why It Matters(32:00 - 36:40) Non-Negotiables, Family Time, Sleep, and Running a Business with Heart(36:40 - 43:00) Rapid Fire: Cows, 80s vs. 90s, Aliens, Beans, and Build the Bar Right(43:00 - 45:15) Best Local Installs, Formation Brewing, Red House Cask System & Kansas City Airport
College sports has become a runaway freight train in recent years. Money and greed (as always) have emerged as the primary villains. Everyone involved wants more. Several years ago, the NCAA began to allow student-athletes to transfer schools as often as the average student. Prior to that, athletes were required to sit-out one full year after transferring schools. It was supposed to encourage college athletes to think hard prior to making the decision to transfer. Colleges also claimed that this was done to give the student-athletes enough time to acclimate themselves to the academic rigors of their new college environment. R-i-g-h-t! Today’s new NCAA Transfer Portal is becoming busier by the year Upwards of 50% of some sport’s athletes are putting their names in the Transfer Portal. They are in search of more money and playing time elsewhere. These athletes want the right to transfer as easily as all other college students. The processing of transferring by athletes seems to take place at blazing speed, though. An average college student has to prepare an application, supply academic performance (grades) along with a mountain of paperwork prior to being admitted as a transfer student at most major universities. The process usually takes several months. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how (and why) these “ASAP” Transfer Portal college athletes get their paperwork processed by their new universities within just a matter of days or weeks? Then there’s the new wheel of fortune game called Name, Image, and Likeness The federal courts have allowed college athletes to be compensated based on their theoretical NIL value. The original concept of NIL sounded downright noble. Our theoretical college football player simply wanted to have a little spending money to be able go out and enjoy an occasional burger and shake down at Arnold’s. Within years, the compensation being offered to athletes for their (cough) NIL rights has exploded. Some players are receiving offers of hundreds of thousands of dollars from top college football, basketball, baseball, and even softball programs. The athletic conferences say they don’t like this, either. However, they spend much of their time renegotiating television and media contracts to generate even more cash to pad their own pockets. That’s why the College Football Playoffs have risen from two teams to four to 12 today. The conferences are battling with each other today trying to expand the football playoffs from 12 to 24 teams. Why? More television money, of course. The athletic conferences, schools, administrators, coaches, players, and, of course, the media companies are focused on more and more money for college athletics. The former systems are broken. No one is showing much in the way of self restraint or leadership in attempting to resolve growing problems. Who is going to help control this mess? Did someone say “Congress?” Of course! Let’s ask America’s legislative body to intervene since the college sports community cannot seem to regulate its fast-growing greed. We know that the 435 House and 100 Senate members rarely agree on anything. Well, they do seem to find enough votes (usually after midnight) in late December to raise their own pay. They won’t object when a motion for a multi-week recess is raised, either. Heaven forbid if any member of the House or Senate dares to propose a vote concerning (gasp!) term limits. So, why should anyone believe that the US Congress will be able to regulate college sports? Over the past year, the US House of Representatives has tried and recently failed. A bill entitled the “Student Compensation through Rights and Endorsements” Act was floated. The “SCORE” Act slithered its way through the halls of Congress at snail-like speed. The House of Representatives couldn’t even muster enough support to force a full floor vote on the measure a few weeks ago. That bill is now officially dead. But never fear! The US Senate wants to “Protect” college sports! Move over, House of Representatives! A bipartisan bill drafted by Senators Ted Cruz of Texas (R) and Maria Cantwell of Washington (D) finally emerged this past week. It is now being contemplated by the extremely deliberative (slow moving) body called the US Senate. This bill is called the “Protect College Sports Act of 2026.” You can read it by clicking here. The 111-page document was introduced in the Senate on Wednesday, June 3. Former University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban and several other heavyweights of college sports testified before the Senate in support of the measure. The President is also in favor of the proposal. Advocates believe there is a chance that it could pass by August 1, 2026. That is less than 60 days after it was introduced to the Senate. Personally, I think there is a higher probability of seeing Charlie Brown finally kick that football that Lucy is holding this fall! Let’s review several of the primary portions of the Protect College Sports Act of 2026: Name, Image, and Likeness – The agreement would serve to put NIL under federal jurisdiction. That is needed, because many states have already implemented a variety of different enforcement provisions and loopholes. The proposed federal legislation would require NIL agents for athletes to be registered with the government and cap their fees at 5%. Athletes must disclose their NIL compensation above $600 per year. Medical coverage for athletes – Colleges would be required to pay for out-of-pocket medical costs for athletes for five years following the athlete’s final competition for the school. Transfers – Each athlete would receive one transfer without losing athletic eligibility. Subsequent transfers may be considered in the event of coaching changes, discontinued sports at a school, and for graduate students. Academics – The legislation requires athletes to complete their eligibility within five years beginning with the earlier of (a) high school graduation or (b) turning age 19. Exemptions would exist for military service, religious missions, etc. Coaching changes – The Senate proposal would prohibit college head coaches from leaving their school prior to the end of the season to coach, recruit for, or otherwise take over at a different FBS (large division) program. Yes, this is now being called the Lane Kiffin provision. Local television for football and basketball teams – There must be at least one free local television broadcast outlet televising football and basketball games for major universities within their local market. Anti-trust protection television rights for schools and conferences – This would afford college athletics to function in the same way in which the NFL, NBA, and other national professional sports leagues operate. However, at least 75% of the current FBS schools must sign-off on this provision for it to become effective. Bars major athletic conferences ($1 billion or more in annual revenues) from merging or acquiring each other – The Senate legislation wants to preserve and promote regional rivalries and stop major universities from changing athletic conference affiliations. College football season must end by January 8 – This provision is intended to allow for a smoother transition for students (and transfers) prior to the start of the spring semester. What I like: Restricting athletic transfers to only one time is a winner. This will keep players and the coaches from shopping around so much. Instead, there should be increased focus on player development (and, perhaps, academics). The proposed provision for medical coverage for athletes continuing for five years following their college participation seems like a solid idea. The schools earn revenue from athletic competitions. They should be required to provide catastrophic insurance coverage for athletes who are injured while playing for the school. A hard cap on five years of college eligibility is also very smart. There is a significant physical and mental difference between an 18-year old football player coming out of high school and a 24-year old who may have been granted a sixth year of eligibility. The football season ending by January 8 is a definite winner! Cut the regular season to 11 games if you need more time for the playoffs. (Yes, I realize that won’t happen) Local “free” television coverage for local teams sounds good. This is what the NFL does during Monday Night Football games on ESPN. The local market’s ABC affiliate generally provides coverage for viewers who are not ESPN subscribers. When considering this provision for college football, would all Louisiana cities not named Baton Rouge also be considered “local” for LSU football games? Taxpayers in other Louisiana cities would also like to watch LSU (the state’s flagship public university) football games on their local TV station. Expect a battle over this issue. I’m not so sure about… Many people are asking why we haven’t dropped the entire NIL charade and consider the players to be paid employees of the university. The primary authors of the Senate legislation intentionally omitted this issue. That’s because the recent House legislation dared to address this thorny issue. Arguments on the subject caused the entire bill to go down in flames. Perhaps the Supreme Court will eventually decide the matter. Another roadblock will be in getting 75% of the current 136 member FBS (major college) group of football schools to agree on the anti-trust protection issues. The Big Ten Conference and SEC (much like the House and Senate) can’t seem to agree on just about anything in recent years. With regard to college coaches leaving for other schools, shouldn’t there also be a provision that coaches cannot be fired prior to the end of the team’s season, too? I think the minimum NIL amount for reporting purposes should be raised from $600 per year to $1,200. That would be only $100/month for an athlete. Spend more time reviewing the larger NIL transactions. Finally, I believe that most rational adults would prefer not having the federal government getting involved in issues such as this. Can you imagine the resulting circus of governmental regulatory requirements and exorbitant administrative costs to implement this bill if signed into law? The Senate deliberation of the proposed Save College Sports Act of 2026 might serve as a much needed wake-up call right now. The major athletic conferences should voluntarily come together ASAP to address and implement several of this bill’s best provisions. They could end the push for unwanted federal oversight and regulation by simply taking this matter into their own hands. Hey, Big Ten and SEC! It’s time to lead and end your petty turf wars before the Senate addresses these problems for you. Time to get to work!

Reisen Reisen - Der Podcast mit Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz
Viel Natur, entspannte Lebensart, Kulinarik - wo leben die glücklichsten Menschen der Welt? In Skandinavien. Und genau deshalb feiern Tamina Kallert, Jochen und Michi in dieser Miniserie den hohen Norden mit all seiner Weite, Stille, Musik und diesem besonderen Lebensgefühl, für das die Schweden sogar ein eigenes Wort haben: Lagom. Gerade recht. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger.Tamina war im Sommer mit einem kleinen Bulli durch Småland unterwegs und hat ihren Geburtstag mitten im Mittsommerfest gefeiert. Mit Blumenkranz, Erdbeerkuchen und singenden Fremden auf dem Dorfplatz. Michi hat sich in Stockholm verliebt. Nicht in die Sehenswürdigkeiten, sondern in das Lebensgefühl von Södermalm, wo die Menschen im Sommer auf breiten Boulevards sitzen, als hätte die Zeit aufgehört zu zählen. Jochen hat sein rotes Holzhaus am See gefunden und überprüft lieber nochmal auf Google Maps, ob wirklich niemand in der Nähe wohnt.Dazu gibt es eine Überraschung aus dem Untergrund: die längste Kunstgalerie der Welt führt nicht durch ein Museum, sondern durch die Stockholmer U-Bahn. Und ins ABBA-Museum geht man auch dann, wenn man kein Fan ist. Versprochen.–Bei „Bella Skandinavia" reisen Deutschlands bekannteste Urlaubs-Expertin Tamina Kallert (u. a. „WDR Wunderschön") sowie Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz von „Reisen Reisen – der Podcast" durch den magischen Norden Europas.Diese Folge entstand mit freundlicher Unterstützung der Deutschen Bahn: www.bahn.de / Inspirationen Reisen (u.a.

Fueled by a love for iconic throwbacks and today's most talked-about moments, these two besties serve up unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and a deep appreciation for the drama that keeps entertainment interesting. From Y2K nostalgia to red carpet chaos, award show upsets to reality TV scandals, nothing is off-limits. Whether they're revisiting the cultural staples that defined an era or breaking down the latest internet-breaking headlines, expect hot takes, deep dives, and plenty of side-eye. If your playlist lives somewhere between classic R&B and current chart-toppers, if you still quote your favorite 2000s movies on the daily, and if you love a little (or a lot of) flair with your pop culture commentary—this is the podcast you've been waiting for. Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.
James Oliver is the founder of Atlas, a protein bar companywhose products are sourced from real ingredients. As an undergraduate student at Tufts University, James was filled with curiosity. That curiosity extended beyond the classroom and set him on a path to learn all he could about nutrition. Throughthat journey, he recognized that the product he desired to fuel his body didn't exist. Rather than accepting the status quo, James set out to change the industry and in turn, founded Atlas. Scaled using a unique funding strategy, today Atlas has sold millions of bars.In this episode, James discusses:How his curiosity paved the path to creating aproduct that didn't exist;How Atlas scaled from 100 bars sold tomillions sold;The unique funding method he used to build thecompany;What he wishes he would've known before becominga founder; and Why considering the worst-case scenario canactually be a positive business building strategy.Get the Ruling Sports Newsletter: https://rulingsports.com/newsletter/Follow Ruling SportsInstagram: www.Instagram.com/RulingSportsTwitter: www.Twitter.com/RulingSportsFacebook: www.Facebook.com/RulingSportsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/RulingSportsTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@RulingSports

What does a rising Armenian rapper with a story of redemption have in common with a Belgian-Armenian artist bringing a fresh global sound to Armenian music? One artist turned pain into purpose. Another is blending Armenian heritage with a modern international sound. In this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan welcomes two rising artists from opposite sides of the world. Jake Balmain opens up about overcoming a troubled past, 2nd chances, and channeling life's challenges into music. Meanwhile, Monika Ani joins us from Belgium to discuss her unique blend of deep house, pop, R&B, and Armenian influences, along with her mission to introduce Armenian culture to a new generation of listeners around the globe. From faith and second chances to creativity, identity, and the future of Armenian music, this episode delivers two inspiring stories from artists determined to leave their mark.
Lesbian bars aren't just nightlife, they're evolving spaces of community and chosen family, and they have a special place in Jessi Hempel's heart. On this bonus episode, Jessi sits down with one of Hello Monday's own producers, Rachel Karp, to talk about her new book The Lesbian Bar Chronicles: The Living History and Hopeful Future of America's Dyke Dives and Sapphic Spaces. Rachel's journey started as a passion project: a documentary podcast in which the Cruising podcast team went on a road trip to visit every lesbian bar in the US. Their goal was to tell the history of lesbian bars and stories of the people who go to them. Now, those stories– and the lessons we can learn from them about how to create real-life community spaces–are in a book. In this episode: Why Rachel and the Cruising podcast team went on their road trip Why lesbian bars have endured, even as culture, technology, and rights have shifted What makes physical spaces of belonging different from digital communities The role of leadership in shaping inclusive, values-driven spaces What “chosen family” looks like in practice, and why it matters What anyone (queer or not) can learn from lesbian bars Follow Jessi Hempel and Rachel Karp on LinkedIn.
