In this episode of The Deal, Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly talk about two big records: Alex Ovechkin topping Wayne Gretzky’s legendary scoring record in the NHL, and Geno Auriemma’s 12th NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship win as coach at the University of Connecticut.

Berman tells the hosts why the NWSL decided to get rid of the draft, how she’s making the most of her media rights deal with Amazon, ESPN, CBS, and Scripps ION, and whether she thinks expansion teams are getting too expensive too fast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the latest episode The Mind Shift Podcast with Erwin and Aaron McManus, we dive into a wide range of topics that explore the intricate tapestry of personal struggles, leadership, and the pursuit of happiness. Let's break down the key discussions and insights from this episode. Overcoming Personal and Professional Obstacles Our conversation opens with a personal share about my recent journey through reconstructive eye surgery. The experience was not just a medical process but an enlightening encounter with a skilled surgeon whose expertise and care made a significant impact. My son, Aaron, and I discussed the broader implications of being open about such personal struggles, emphasizing how vulnerability is a powerful trait in leadership. The Intersection of Sports and Society A lively discussion about sports brought to the surface the controversial calls in the Iowa vs. South Carolina games. We reflected on the character and class act displayed by the South Carolina women's basketball team. The conversation transitioned into how sports arenas have moved from being colorblind spaces to zones where societal tensions are more visible, a shift that calls for deeper dialogue and understanding. Leadership Lessons from the Court The heart of our episode focused on the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship game between South Carolina and Iowa. We highlighted the perseverance and trust within the team, which were pivotal to their success. Coach Dawn Staley's leadership and ability to communicate effectively with her players were key themes, emphasizing that setbacks do not define our seasons but rather how we respond to them does. Beyond Goal Setting: Happiness and Identity We often discuss setting goals as a pathway to success, but in this episode, we dug deeper into the importance of enjoying the journey. It's vital to balance ambition with well-being and personal growth, recognizing that while goals are important, they should not overshadow our happiness or self-discovery. Rediscovering Masculinity and Personal Growth In a particularly introspective segment, I shared thoughts on the cultural biases against traditional notions of masculinity, which have left many men searching for identity and purpose. Reflecting on my own life and writings, including themes from my book, we discussed how men can rediscover their primal nature through strength, discipline, and protecting others. Building Community and Mentorship As we wrapped up, the focus shifted to the upcoming Arena conference and the power of mentorship. The Arena provides a platform for personal growth and spiritual development, creating a unique environment that fosters learning and community. We also explored how to use existing relationships, like my connection with John Gordon, to enrich our community's experience and offer more targeted, impactful mentorship opportunities. --
