Podcasts about Big Three

The Lakers continue their struggle with prosperity as their 19-point lead evaporated but still managed to hold on to a 110-106 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The guys from lakerholics.com return to talk about why the team can't keep a big lead, and why the Big Three performed as advertised to pull the game out.

There was nothing inspiring about Sunday's 110-106 win for the Lakers over the Pistons at Staples Center. After a dominant third quarter (no, seriously), it looked like L.A. might finally get themselves the type of easy win that would make it possible to have a little fun, and at least feel for a minute or two like they're a legitimately good team. To get a little swagger and build some momentum. Nope. A 19-point advantage was whittled away, and the Lakers had to hold off Detroit down the stretch. So that's the downside. The upside? They won, and given how the season has gone to this point, that's about all you can ask for. It was a good night for the Big Three, with Anthony Davis dominating early (13 first quarter points), Russell Westbrook (25/6/9 w/ only three turnovers) playing well throughout and LeBron James (33/5/9) doing LeBron things. After, they talked about building blocks and small goals as they try to right the ship. Whether the patience and calm is performative or not - really, what's the other option? - it's clear the Lakers as a group know there is a tremendous amount of work to be done. To that end, more changes in the rotation are coming. Vogel indicated that they plan to lean more into small ball, particularly in the second units, which means that for the time being fans are likely to see DeAndre Jordan or Dwight Howard on any given night, but likely not both. That's good! And while you can debate which guy is better or when he should play, some of that is just not all that important. On the other hand, Avery Bradley still looks like he's going to absorb a decent chunk of playing time, night to night. That's a little harder to defend. On to Sacramento! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: A win's a win's a win's a win, right? SEGMENT 2: What do the Lakers think of themselves? And is LeBron, who aggrivated that ab/groin thing on Sunday, really as "good to go" as he claims? SEGMENT 3: The rotation may change, again. What to expect, and will it help?

Over the holiday season here, we're running some of our favorite episodes from years past. This one is with Mike Schneider, who actually has taken another role since this show was recorded. Other than that, the information that Mike shares during this episode from 2020 is all good. So, let's do this thing. Disclaimer before we get started here: This show is probably a 300-level class in pharmaceutical/PBM relations. If you are tuning in for the first time and you aren't pretty familiar with the role of PBMs, I would go back and listen to, say, episode 241 with Vinay Patel or episode 166 with Tim Thomas from Crystal Clear Rx. OK, now that that's out of the way, if you're still with me, this episode is like a ride on a roller coaster. I talk with Mike Schneider. And we get into, you know, kinda deeply, the what and the why behind the “Big Three” traditional PBMs deciding that now might be a fantastic time to set up GPOs. PBMs are pharmacy benefit managers—there's three huge ones. GPO stands for group purchasing organization. Traditionally, these GPOs have purchased drugs and supplies for hospitals and other providers at, according to their marketing materials, volume discounts. So, the unfolding story here, in a nutshell, is that ESI (Express Scripts) set up a GPO called Ascent in Switzerland. Optum has had an Ireland operation going in full swing for a while. And now we have CVS Caremark setting up a GPO called Zinc. These GPOs are not like normal GPOs working with hospitals, but instead, these GPOs are the entity which is now going to negotiate with pharma companies. In the past, it was the PBM that was negotiating with the pharma company to get rebates. Now it's this GPO entity. “But wait,” you may say. “Wasn't there an executive order the other day requiring PBMs to, for example, pass through all of the rebates that they're collecting to patients?” Indeed, there was. And that rule doesn't say anything about GPOs having to do the same, especially GPOs in, let's just say, Switzerland. It's a tangled web we weave. You can learn more by connecting with Mike on LinkedIn.  Mike Schneider is an experienced healthcare executive with over 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical manufacturer, pharmacy benefit manager, and payer side of healthcare. He previously spent 9 years at CVS Caremark, where he was a director of industry relations with responsibility for trade strategy development, rebate negotiations, and contract execution for CVS Caremark's own Medicare Part D plans and that of its clients. He held a similar position at Universal American (UA) before it was acquired by CVS Health, where he also negotiated UA's commercial business. Mike has held various sales and market access roles with pharmaceutical manufacturers with increasing responsibility. Before entering healthcare, Mike began his career as a researcher at the Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati, where he worked on hair care product formulation development focusing on the key markets of China and Japan, and then moved on to work in drug development. Mike holds a BS degree from the University of Illinois and an MBA from the University of Akron. 02:48 What does a GPO add to a PBM? 05:23 Rebates vs driving more revenue. 10:39 PBMs vs safe harbors. 12:25 The net impact on the commercial side. 14:07 PBMs vs pharmaceutical manufacturers. 14:54 How the “Big Three” PBMs compete with each other, and how employers would choose between them. 15:56 What the net-net is here. 18:06 How PBMs are shifting their models. 20:42 How GPOs may be making things even less transparent. 21:31 “The PBM world as a whole is not very transparent.” 25:00 “One of the biggest beneficiaries of this whole rebate [system] is the government.” 25:46 “The question is, ‘Who's paying those costs?'” 26:02 EP216 with Chris Sloan.27:00 A better way to move money from Pharma to employers and plan sponsors. 28:04 “Put your money where your mouth is.” You can learn more by connecting with Mike on LinkedIn.  Check out our newest #healthcarepodcast with Mike Schneider as he discusses #PBMs and #GPOs. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #healthcarefinance #pharma What does a GPO add to a PBM?

It's the weekend! Thanks for celebrating it with the crew from BFW! Rumble Williams took the lead this week by welcoming himself back to black movies (01:00) which got us talking about King Richard (02:00) and if we have ever strayed from black cinema (12:00). Next, Aldo let us know What Burned His Boudin this week including having to pause shows (21:00), making slides for work (27:00) and folks who are too good or too bad at pool (31:00). We took some time to send our condolences and debrief our thoughts on Young Dolph's murder and if you should leave the city you're from (37:00). We followed this by discussing Kyle Rittenhouse (57:00) and DaBaby putting out his baby mama (1:04:00). The podcast was concluded with our Big Three bar games (1:14:00).

The Lakers played a big, nationally televised game on Wednesday in Milwaukee. And, in keeping with a too frequent theme this year, they lost. But this time, Lakers fans can feel a lot better despite the L, because the quality of play was higher than what we've seen to this point. For starters, Russell Westbrook played arguably his best game as a Laker, continuing to ease into a comfort zone of pretty good shot selection, strong attacks on the rim and more tolerable turnover numbers. Will that translate into a great partnership with the rest of the Big Three, when LeBron returns? Dunno. But it's a start. And the defense, after a rough first half, clamped down in the second, a nice change of pace for a team that has routinely wet the bed in third quarters. Meanwhile, Talen Horton-Tucker scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, his third straight quality effort since returning to the Lakers lineup. And according to Frank Vogel, THT may have played his way into the starting lineup, even after LeBron returns. Is that the right move? Finally, Staples Center is getting a new name. Once Christmas rolls around, we're all looking at something called Crypto.com Arena. Will the Lakers play better in an arena than a center? Are people freaking out a little too much over this, despite the fact that Crypto.com Arena doesn't exactly roll off the tongue? Yes, it sounds kinda dumb, but when you think about it, so does "Staples Center." The difference is Staples has become such an irrelevant brand, people don't think of it as a brand anymore. Just an arena name. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Naruto. One Piece. Dragonball. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when The Big Three kept shounen anime fans together in harmony. But all of that changed when Nickelodeon attacked. Avatar: The Last Airbender mastered all the elements: A collection of juvenile misfits forming a found-family, a journey of growth and self-discovery across the globe, and a mischievous but lovable boy saving the world with the power of friendship and cool ninja powers. AND, this was all being created by a Western studio. Only Avatar: The Last Airbender could save the world from the ruthless otaku claiming Western animation was not real anime. But when the world needed Avatar: The Last Airbender the most, it vanished. Thirteen years have passed, and the boys at Debate This! have re-discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender. And although the world and its characters are great, it still has a lot to learn before it's ready to save a sub-standard premium streaming service. But we believe Avatar: The Last Airbender can save the world.

Through 14 games, the 2021-22 season for the Lakers had been a struggle, filled with injuries, frustration and inconsistency. But there had been at least some signs, here and there, that things might be improving. Anthony Davis has been pretty excellent throughout. Russell Westbrook has been growing incrementally better, some intermittent Westbrookian hiccups notwithstanding. LeBron James should be returning soon. So with all that, the Lakers took the floor Monday against the Chicago Bulls in something of a test game, as they head out Tuesday to start their first real road trip of the season. They failed. Badly. Chicago outplayed L.A. in every meaningful facet, reminding everyone that this Lakers group is a very long way from true title contention. How they navigate the path towards that elite level remains to be seen, but it'll be one with a lot more tension and speculation than anything they've seen over the last two seasons. Monday's game reinforced how dependent the team is on having the Big Three intact, and particularly the dependence on LeBron James. The supporting cast showed its limitations (though Talen Horton-Tucker finished with 28 points and six rebounds). And we're all left asking just how good this group can reasonably be expected to be, particularly on defense. At least until they get healthy. And with any team with this kind of profile, star power and expectations, a slow start is going to focus attention on the head coach. How much of this - whether looking just at Monday's loss or the season as a whole - is on Frank Vogel? How much is on Rob Pelinka? How much is on circumstance and bad luck? More fans are having that conversation, and the natives are getting restless. Without question, the first 15 games have turned the fate of the head coach into a talking point in ways it hasn't been since Vogel was hired. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: What went wrong vs. Chicago. The Bulls had a great plan for Davis. What was the counter? SEGMENT 2: Should we still be surprised when the team doesn't defend well, especially when LeBron is out? Is the bigger problem the offense? SEGMENT 3: The conversations about Frank Vogel's future have started. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Per usual, the fellas from Best Friend Weekend understood the assignment! Rumble Williams got things started by recapping Birthday Season (01:00) which quickly turned to us discuss what type of birthday person each of us are (02:00). Next, Aldo let us know What Burned His Boudin this week including birthday phone calls (12:00), touching up school pictures (20:00), boys who don't respect driving etiquette (25:00), spit daddy COVID tests (29:00) and coaches who do coaching shit wrong (33:00). A couple of stories we chose to discuss where the Daily Iberian's slanderous political cartoon about Grambling State University (50:00) and Jada continuing to not protect Will Smith in these streets (1:00:00). After giving our Big Three birthday gifts (1:12:00), we talked about some interesting NFL stories to close out the episode (1:23:00).

Trying to figure out just where the Lakers stand these days on either side of the ball isn't easy. Not only is the Lakers rotation in tatters thanks to a rash of early season injuries, but the schedule itself hasn't helped. The Lakers have had a run of recent success (relatively speaking) against the Rockets, for example, who are terrible. Shutting them down on Sunday, then again in the second half Tuesday, did nice things for LA's defensive rankings, but did it mean much? The same applies to the lineups deployed by Frank Vogel, who after Tuesday's win said he plans to go back, at least some, to a "two big" starting lineup, with Anthony Davis at center. Will he keep it that way all year, even when the roster is at full strength, or will the time the Lakers have missed gaining continuity force Vogel to mix and match more than he indicated he'd like during the preseason? And since Davis is playing more center now, even with the presence of DeAndre Jordan in the starting lineup for most of LA's games, than ever during his time with the Lakers, does it matter who starts? More important could be structural issues facing the team. They've been lousy on the offensive and defensive glass this season, no matter the alignments. Is that going to improve? Did we overestimate the impact Russell Westbrook would have, particularly given the other changes made to the roster this offseason? What numbers are positive for the Lakers right now? Start with where Westbrook is getting the bulk of his shots. Finally, Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reports on a summertime meeting between Damian Lillard, LeBron and Davis. How close was Dame to being the third member of LA's Big Three? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: As the lineup turns! Vogel indicates he's gonna use two bigs... but is he also gonna do a lot of other stuff in that starting lineup? Will necessity become the mother of invention? SEGMENT 2: Can the Lakers get better on the glass? What numbers are encouraging from early in the season, despite uneven play? SEGMENT 3: What if Lillard became a Laker? What does it say about him that he took the meeting, but ultimately wasn't inclined to leave Portland? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

So on the one hand, the Lakers got huge, mega-star performances from their three mega-stars. They won on Tuesday, running their record to a more tidy 5-3 after a very shaky start (in the win/loss column, at least). Russell Westbrook continues to look much more comfortable playing with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, seeming to settle into an attacking rhythm and turning the ball over a lot less (four or fewer in four of his last five games). On the other hand... The Lakers surrendered 70 (70!!!) points to the HOUSTON ROCKETS in the first half of Tuesday's win. The same Rockets who entered the game as the league's 28th most efficient offensive team. Or, put another way, the 3rd most inefficient. They were nearly victimized by two late side-out-of-bounds plays that left Houston a half second or so from going to the line with a chance to tie the game. The Rockets suck, and the Lakers only won by two. So there's that. Bottom line, the Lakers continue to drive their fans crazy, benefitting only local cardiologists and other dispensers of heart care. It's going to be a bumpy ride, people. And what will it look like as players get back off the injury list and onto the court? Is Malik Monk feeling some footsteps, whether from Austin Reaves or the impending return of Wayne Ellington and Kendrick Nunn (not to mention Talen Horton-Tucker)? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers win, and the Big Three is dominant. Let's talk about why... SEGMENT 2: LeBron says Westbrook is starting to "fit out," meaning he's playing like Russell Westbrook should play. Not trying to be someone he's not because others think that's what happens for the Lakers to thrive. What was the evidence on Tuesday? Is he turning a corner? SEGMENT 3: Austin Reaves is earning playing time, while Malik Monk seems to be bleeding it. Is it possible Monk is pressing because he knows those already-shrinking minutes could disappear once the roster is healthy? Is he attacking the time he's getting the right way?

The Wolves' Big Three came up big at various moments, and their defensive rebounding was much better with Jarred Vanderbilt in the starting lineup. 11:00: Former Twins pitcher Glen Perkins joins the show to talk about his old teammate Eddie Rosario and all the success he is having in the playoffs. It's a great perspective not only about what makes Rosario great but also about why the Twins weren't necessarily wrong to let him go. 23:00: Minnesota United lost precious ground in the MLS playoff race when it lost 2-1 in Vancouver on Wednesday, after which head coach Adrian Heath had pointed comments about the team's defense. With just two games left in the season, the Loons are on the outside looking in.

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) (Locked On Rockets) & Matt Moore (@HPbasketball) (The Action Network, Locked On Nuggets) discuss Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets against the meat grinder that is the Miami Heat, falling 106-93, the Timberwolves Big Three facing the Holiday and Lopez-less Milwaukee Bucks, Dame Time third quarter in Grizzlies-Blazers, Lakers collapses in OKC, NBA Stock Market and more. Has Russ earned the right to act the way he did at the end of Lakers-Thunder? Are the Celtics in REAL trouble? Is Karl-Anthony Towns an early season, dark horse MVP candidate?

NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:30 p.m. Toronto Maple Leafs at Chicago Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m. NHL – Blackhawks GM resigns, team fined after sexual assault probe An independent review has found that the Chicago Blackhawks mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the team's Stanley Cup run in 2010. Stan Bowman resigned as the Blackhawks' general manager and president of hockey operations in the wake of the report by a law firm hired by the team. The NHL fined the team $2 million for “the organization's inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response.” The former Blackhawks video coach was alleged to have sexually assaulted two players, with the front office knowing and doing nothing. Bowman also stepped down from his position as GM of the U.S. men's hockey team at the Winter Olympics. NHL – Blackhawks captain Toews enters NHL's COVID-19 protocol The Chicago Blackhawks put captain Jonathan Toews and Henrik Borgstrom in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, giving the winless team five players on the list. Toews and Borgstrom missed practice after they joined fellow forwards Patrick Kane and Jujhar Khaira and defenseman Riley Stillman in the protocol. Assistant coaches Marc Crawford and Tomas Mitell are away from the team for the same reason. The use of the COVID-19 list doesn't necessarily mean any of the players or coaches tested positive. They could have been deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive. The team was 100% vaccinated at the start of training camp. MLB – Major League Baseball – 2021 World Series – Best of 7 Last Night Atlanta Braves 6, Houston Astros 2                                          (ATL leads 1-0) Braves 6, Astros 2 – Soler, Braves overcome Morton injury, top Astros in Game 1 Making his first start since testing positive for COVID-19, Jorge Soler became the first player to begin a World Series with a home run and the Atlanta Braves, despite the loss of pitcher Charlie Morton to a broken leg, hushed the Houston Astros 6-2 in Game 1. Boosted by a strong bullpen effort, a two-run homer by Adam Duvall and a late sacrifice fly from Freddie Freeman, the Braves coasted in their first Series appearance since Chipper Jones and the Big Three aces ascended in 1999. Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and the Astros mostly looked lost at the plate. This is their third World Series in five seasons — and first since their illegal sign-stealing scheme was revealed. Tonight Atlanta Braves at Houston Astros, 8:09 p.m.                               (ATL leads 1-0) MLB – Manfred remains optimistic on labor; pitch clock encouraging Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred exchanged a handshake with players' union head Tony Clark on the field before the World Series opener and expressed optimism about reaching an agreement before the current deal expires Dec. 1 but did not detail any progress in talks that appear headed to a lockout. There is no evidence of progress toward an agreement, and many management officials and player agents have said they are prepared for a lockout if there is no deal when the current agreement expires. Clark said talks have been ongoing and he's “looking to take advantage of as many days as the schedule permits throughout the course of the next five-plus weeks or so to continue that dialogue.” MLB – Braves bullpen another long winning night in World Series G1 The relievers keep coming through for the Atlanta Braves. Left-hander A.J. Minter threw a career-high 43 pitches before three other relievers finished off Atlanta's 6-2 win over the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the World Series. Minter had to enter in the third after starter Charlie Morton departed with a broken right leg. Minter got the victory and was followed by Luke Jackson, Tyler Matzek and Will Smith. That is the same order of finish for the clinching games...

Ryan talks about "The Big Three" sales strategies that enabled a company with only four sales representatives to achieve a staggering $30 million in revenue in just six years, without the aid of marketing! KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a lot more in terms of details when it comes to successfully closing an enterprise sale. However, the core foundations of sales remain the same. The 5x5x5 methodology involves looking at the deals you pushed over the line that brought in the biggest revenue, the deals you were able to close in the shortest amount of time, and also the deals in which you suffered the biggest losses. Big decisions in small or big companies are based on results, certainty of outcome, time and work. There are three core sales operating systems that every company needs in order to see exponential growth: 1 - The Whale Scale - customer deal value 2 - Expansion Scale - customer lifetime value 3 - Referral Scale - leveraging the foundations of Whale Scale and Expansion - harvest new customer acquisitions from both. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm going to share some secret sauce today' 'Founders are a combination of a mythical creature, a rock star and a superhero' 'This allows you to scale up fast!' 'How do we continue to acquire customers, while also escalating the deal size' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Scale Up Show - https://omny.fm/shows/the-scale-up-show ABOUT THE SHOW How do you grow like a VC backed company without taking on investors?

Tuesday's preseason loss to Warriors didn't just present the first look at the Lakers' Big Three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. It raised the question of who should start alongside that trio of All-Stars. Granted, Frank Vogel's hands are a bit tied at the moment, given all the players who are shelved with injuries. But could Kent Bazemore and Carmelo Anthony, the two filling out Tuesday's lineup, fit the bill moving forward? Bazemore feels like a lock by now, but Melo? More debatable. So the Kamenetzkys do just that. What are the pros and cons of the future Hall of Famer vs. Wayne Ellington, Kendrick Nunn or other looks? Whatever the rotation chosen, how much fun will the Lakers actually be to watch? ESPN's Zach Lowe offered up some thoughts in a recent column, and the Kamenetzkys react to his assessment. Finally, undrafted two-way player Austin Reaves has been turning heads of late with some unexpectedly un-rookie play. Is he a viable option once games actually count? Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: What's the best starting lineup for the Lakers, and does it include Melo? SEGMENT 2: On a pure "fun" scale, how enjoyable will the Lakers be?

Do you have a spouse or loved one who has dementia? Hearing them say “I love you” or share a memory is something that every caregiver hopes for. And in those rare instances, it truly gives a renewed sense of purpose in life. Unfortunately, often, after being diagnosed with dementia, patients are prescribed drugs that, in some cases, cause depression or suppress who they are. But what if there was a way to reduce the medications and boost the mental well-being of the person with dementia and the spouse or caregiver? Interestingly enough, evidence shows that art plays a role in improving neural health. Art therapy is being taught as an alternative approach to dementia cases, providing an opportunity for patients to boost their mood and change their behavior without diminishing their quality of life. In this episode, Kirsten sits down with the incredible Angel Duncan. Angel is a mental health, art therapist, and research clinician specializing in therapeutic program developments for people with mental health, developmental, intellectual, cognitive, and memory disorders. Angel has an extensive background in counseling psychology, life development, and Alzheimer's disease phase 1b, 2, and 3 clinical research trials. She works globally with leading organizations on brain health initiatives and is a widely published author and speaker. During their discussion, Kirsten and Angel dive into the science behind art therapy, explaining how and why it works. Duncan also shares countless examples of patients who practice art therapy demonstrating the behavioral changes and how they reconnect with their spouses again or learn to engage with their caregivers. If dementia or mental health issues have impacted your life or the life of someone you know, this episode is for you. Tune in now for more on the benefits of art therapy and why Angel Duncan has spent her career advocating for this life-changing form of treatment. Big Three from Episode #074: Research shows that by engaging in art, which taps into certain regions of the brain, those with dementia are also getting neural activation and productivity. Ultimately, this leads to a shift in mood and behavior. Art Therapy is found to be helpful for all forms of dementia and, really, all types of mental health issues. Just because someone has dementia or another cognitive issue, doesn't mean their creativity goes away. Case studies and research demonstrate exactly how art therapy brings those with dementia out of their box, helping them reconnect with the outside world. Time-stamped Show Notes: 3:08 Long-term memory is returning for dementia patients through the process of Art Therapy. Listen now to hear Angel Duncan share the benefits of staying artistically creative for those suffering from neurological diseases.  5:43 Studies prove that art truly does work for people who have dementia. Start listening now for more on how art is helping neurological disease.  8:05 Relationships between caregivers, whether family or professional, and dementia-infected patients are becoming nurtured with empathy because of art therapy.  10:13 More often than not, psychotropic drugs are the go-to fix for dementia patients, causing diminished behavior. Angel answers how art could be used as an alternative to psychotropic drugs.  14:21 Angel Duncan has advocated for art therapy for almost 20 years. Listen to her journey and the life-changing work that has come from working with like-minded physicians.  17:43 Press play here to learn what different creative mediums are included in art therapy treatments. 21:11 Ask Kirsten Segment: Kirsten answers an email from Maria in Danville looking for advice on how to encourage her mother, who has dementia, to do an estate plan. If you have a question that you'd like to have answered by Kirsten, send an email to info@absolutetrustcounsel.com. 23:56 Listen to how Angel helped co-create Art in Mind for dementia patients at the Yale Art Gallery.  28:08 Angel Duncan's Art Therapy Workshop is not just for dementia patients but also for spouses and caregivers. Listen in as Angel shares stories and feedback from those who have participated in the workshop. 30:06 Interested in learning more about art therapy?

At long last, the Lakers' Big Three finally played a game together! Even with the caveat of it being the first non-practice run, and that half of the rotation was missing (no exaggeration), LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook playing together is by definition a "thing." As such, there were takeaways from Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors at Staples Center. The Kamenetzky Brothers break down what looked good with the trio, and what was less encouraging. Plus, it was another good showing from Davis, who seems seriously determined to bounce back from a subpar season. In the meantime, there is a predictable (if silly) urge by the media to get a more concrete idea of how long it will take for this team to truly jell. But as Westbrook candidly (and honestly) acknowledged, nobody truly knows the answer, and throwing out arbitrary markers is pointless. As he also noted, the answer isn't likely "opening night," and that's legitimately fine. All the veterans from Westbrook to LeBron to Carmelo Anthony have reinforced the idea of this season as a process that requires patience, communication and the ability to speak frankly to each other. Assuming that accountability is there, everyone appears confident that the larger and smaller details will eventually work themselves out. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Thoughts on how the big three looked together, and their collective effect on the offense. SEGMENT 2: More signs that Davis really, really wants to reestablish himself as a truly elite superstar. SEGMENT 3: The importance of process. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Try Melbourne, Australia, with Josh Lloyd, the host of Locked on NBA and Locked on NBA Fantasy, They broke down the Lakers on both sides of the ball, along with how things could shake out with so many new faces.

Mary Barra is a pioneer in the male-dominate auto industry and one of the world's most respected and influential CEOs in the world. As Chair and Chief Executive Officer at General Motors, Mary became the first female leader of a “Big Three” automaker in 2014. In this episode, she sits down to discuss leadership with Mary Erdoes, Head of Asset & Wealth Management at J.P. Morgan and share some insightful advice for aspiring leaders.   Focus on the job you're doing As someone who worked her way up at GM from an hourly job that helped her pay college tuition, Mary offers one piece of career advice to talented and ambitious employees: Focus on doing the job you have well. “Do the job you're doing today like you're going to do it for the rest of your life, because that means you're going to invest in it, you're going to make it better, and you're going to drive efficiencies,” she says. “If you're doing your job today and you're more focused on your next job, it's not going to work out well.” In Mary's experience, when you're invested in your job, your leaders notice your commitment, and that's what leads to new opportunities. For Mary, new opportunities at GM included being named vice president of Global Manufacturing Engineering in 2008, before being tapped a year later to be vice president of Global Human Resources. Trusting and empowering the most vital resource One of Mary's first big moves as head of HR was to abolish the firm's multi-page dress code and introduce a “dress appropriately” policy. Explaining that her real motivation was to recognize and empower employee's own instincts. Mary says, “When you think about it, you're trusting these people to do a great job every day to design a vehicle, or to service a customer,” she notes. “And you can't trust them to know what they should wear?”  She recalls one incident where a manager came to her asking her to re-implement the old dress code because his employees were now wearing jeans to work and he didn't think that was appropriate since they sometimes had to meet with clients. Mary suggested he talk to his team about the issue rather than establishing a mandate. “He called me back two weeks later and he said, it was great. We all decided that we can wear jeans, but we'll have a pair of khakis or dress pants available. So if there's that rare time where we have to meet with someone, we will look appropriate for the meeting.” Recognizing what women bring to the table Mary also shares tips for aspiring female leaders, drawn from her experiences. First she highlights the importance of women understanding that they bring a lot to the table. “I know we're all different, but in general, I think we approach things more collaboratively, we recognize people, we include,” she notes. And those traits are invaluable in terms of being able to engage other people and get the best outcomes—especially in cross-functional teams and situations. Mary also has words of wisdom about the perennial work-life balancing act, stressing that when women take ownership of their own balance and identify what's most important to them, they have the best results. “Your manager or your leader can't work life balance for you, because they don't know what's important to you,” she says. Once they've identified what's important to their own work-life balance, she advises women to give themselves permission to state their needs. She recalls a time when she watched the clock keep rolling after a meeting was supposed to end at 5:15 pm. She had to be home to relieve her childcare-giver so they could make it to an evening class. “Finally, I think I let another five minutes go and I just said to my boss, ‘I really need to leave.' And he's like, ‘Oh my gosh, go,'” she recalls. “From that point on, if it was toward that end of the day, he'd be like, ‘Do you need to leave?' And he didn't say, ‘You can leave. We're going to keep going.' He ended the meeting.”  Mary says one thing she learned is that most managers will do that—once they understand what you need to be effective at work, they want to make it happen. “No one gets it perfectly,” she says of work-life balance. But the important thing is advocating for yourself at work so you can meet the needs of your family. In the end, Mary wants her family to know she did what was necessary to meet her obligations to them: “I was dedicated and I cared and it was important.” 

The Lakers got on a plane to Phoenix Tuesday for their second preseason game. This one will feature Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony - "the two Anthony's," as Frank Vogel called them - but not LeBron James or Russell Westbrook. And while Vogel didn't give any indication of how he's leaning when it comes to a starting lineup to open the year, he did respond to one of the big questions kicked around on Tuesday's show: Could he mix and match around the Big Three, based on matchups? In short, no. And he explained. From there, it's the annual GM survey, where the league's big execs weigh in on the most important questions surrounding players and teams heading into the 2021-22 season. What stuck out? How about some intense respect for the quality LeBron still brings at age 37, entering his 19th season. And the flip side? Davis was conspicuously absent from many categories where he appeared an offseason ago. What does it say about what's at stake for Davis this season, and what might be motivating him? Finally, Pau Gasol announced his retirement Tuesday, capping off a brilliant, Hall of Fame career. Incredible player, incredible human. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Frank Vogel says he wants consistency in his lineups, and NBA GM's pick the Nets to win it all (over the Lakers, who are the consensus runner-up). SEGMENT 2: What do the results of the GM survey say about LeBron, in year 19? What about Davis? Why isn't he given more love in these results? SEGMENT 3: Looking back at the career of Pau Gasol, and the experience of covering him while he was a Laker. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

After Sunday's loss, Lakers fans registered plenty of opinions about who performed well, and who didn't. Talen Horton-Tucker, who had an uneven game for sure, saw some criticism. One comment from a viewer on the Locked On Lakers YouTube page was particularly irritated by THT's performance: "THT does NOT make his teammates better, he makes them less effective. Both Monk and Nunn are better, and both played better with THT off the floor. Sure, he made a decent play here and there, but he still plays more like a rookie than a guy making $30M," wrote "Larry G." And while it might be an overreaction to one preseason game where the team's best players basically sat out, it does drive how much more people expect out of Horton-Tucker this season. The coaches, for sure, and certainly fans. But what's a reasonable amount of improvement that can be expected? He is, after all, still only 20, and THT has still never been an everyday member of a championship level rotation. Ideally, someone like Horton-Tucker seizes a big role, maybe even a starting gig, with strong performance in training camp. But if it doesn't happen, and other guys don't quite provide the 2-way play the Lakers want, could Frank Vogel perhaps mix and match lineup combinations around the Big Three all year? Finally, the Ben Simmons saga has echoes of a moment where nobody was quite sure Kobe Bryant would show up for training camp. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The days of being fun found money for THT are over. Fair or not, he's expected to play a big role, and play it well, especially now that he's been paid handsomely. SEGMENT 2: What is a fair amount of improvement to reasonably expect from him? The new contract doesn't suddenly add three or four years of experience to his resume. Plus, could Vogel shift his starting lineup around throughout the year, based on matchups? SEGMENT 3: The Ben Simmons drama has some similarities to the days when nobody was quite sure that Kobe Bryant would show up to training camp... but some critical differences as well. What if Kobe made his trade demands in the "player empowerment" era? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

This show has spent a lot of time breaking down the 2021-22 Lakers down to the fine details. It's what goes on around here! But sometimes it's helpful to step back and see how the rest of the world sees the team. And with that, Locked On Lakers welcomes Adam Mares, host of the Locked on Nuggets and Locked On NBA podcasts to give his thoughts on L.A.'s big moves, what he sees as strengths and potential weaknesses of the Big Three-led purple and gold. Good news for Lakers fans, the former definitely outweigh the latter. From there, Mares answers a big question from Thursday's show: How smart is it for the Lakers - or any team, really - that thinks it might see the Nets in the Finals to sacrifice a little defense to make sure there's greater offensive firepower available, given how potent the Nets offense ought to be? From there, it's a quick look at his Nuggets, who (in theory) could be one of the bigger challengers to the Lakers in the conference, especially if Jamal Murray comes back in time to regain good form ahead of the postseason. And if not the Nuggets, what other teams should Lakers fans fear? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with Guest Adam Mares! SEGMENT 1: "Enough about what we think about the Lakers, what do you think about the Lakers?" SEGMENT 2: Are the Lakers smart to load up on O, even if it sacrifices a little D, if the endgame is a Finals matchup against Brooklyn? Are people focusing too little on the good stuff Westbrook can bring? SEGMENT 3: How good are the Nuggets?Who else around the West should be considered a contender? Does Adam think the Mavericks and Warriors are legitimate contenders? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
