Today's guest is Martin Bingisser. Martin is the founder of HMMR Media, one of the most trusted independent voices in throws and track & field education. A former competitive hammer thrower, Martin blends firsthand experience with deep historical and technical insight to analyze training methods, athlete development, and coaching culture. Through articles, videos, and interviews, his work bridges elite practice and practical coaching, earning him respect from coaches and performance professionals around the world. In a world of rapid-information delivery and short attention spans, the wisdom of master coaches is becoming increasingly rare. Martin has spent substantial time with two legends in the coaching world, Anatoliy Bondarchuk and Vern Gambetta. Spending time discussing the work of the past, and wisdom through the present is a critical practice in forming an effective coaching viewpoint. On today's episode I chat with Martin in a wide-ranging conversation in coaching lessons on efficiency, adaptability, and performing under pressure (two throws, no warmups, huge crowds). We transition into Bondarchuk's training philosophy: exercise classification, consistency, “strength” as sport-specific force production, and why weight-room PRs can distract from performance. The episode closes with motor-learning insights on rhythm, holistic cues, and how Vern Gambetta's “general” work complements specificity.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:00 – Martin's background and training lens 7:05 – Why eccentric strength matters 15:40 – Isometric intent and force expression 24:30 – Tendons, stiffness, and elastic qualities 33:50 – Managing fatigue in strength training 42:15 – Applying eccentric and isometric work 51:20 – Athlete readiness and daily adjustment 1:00:10 – Long term development and durability Actionable Takeaways 7:05 – Eccentric strength underpins many performance qualities Martin explains that eccentric capacity sets the foundation for braking, deceleration, and re acceleration. Stronger eccentric abilities allow athletes to tolerate higher forces with less breakdown. Use controlled eccentric work to improve robustness without chasing constant intensity. 15:40 – Isometrics depend on intent, not just position Holding a position is not enough to drive adaptation. Martin emphasizes producing force into the immovable position to create meaningful stimulus. Cue effort and intent during isometrics instead of passively holding time. 24:30 – Tendon stiffness supports speed and efficiency Tendons transmit force, they do not just store it. Training should respect gradual loading to avoid disrupting tendon health. Elastic qualities improve when stiffness and timing are trained together. 33:50 – Fatigue management shapes training quality Not all fatigue is productive. Martin highlights watching bar speed, coordination, and effort quality to guide decisions. End sets when movement quality degrades rather than chasing prescribed numbers. 42:15 – Match training tools to the desired adaptation Eccentrics, isometrics, and dynamics all serve different purposes. Martin stresses selecting methods based on the adaptation you want, not trends. Blend methods thoughtfully instead of stacking stressors blindly. 51:20 – Daily readiness should influence loading Athletes do not arrive the same every day. Use simple readiness cues like bar speed and coordination to adjust training. Flexibility in programming helps preserve long term progress. 1:00:10 – Durability is built over time, not rushed Long term development requires patience and consistency. Martin reinforces gradual progression to protect connective tissue. not short term peaks. Quotes from Martin Bingisser “Eccentric strength is what allows athletes to absorb and redirect force safely.” “An isometric only works if there is intent behind it.” “Tendons are not passive structures, they are active contributors to performance.” “Fatigue is not the enemy, but unmanaged fatigue is.” “You have to choose training tools based on what you want to adapt.” “Readiness is not about feelings, it is about what you observe.” “Durability comes from respecting time and progression.” About Martin Bingisser Martin Bingisser is the founder of HMMR Media, one of the most respected independent platforms covering throws, strength training, and track & field performance.

Consciousness is spoken of in many different ways and contexts. Usually when we speak of consciousness, we know the meaning that's being conveyed. But what exactly is consciousness?It's both a philosophical and scientific question at the same time. In this episode, Thom cuts through the philosophy to give us a pragmatic answer to the question. It's an answer that lets us get on with the business of being conscious with ever-increasing capacity. Episode Highlights00:45 Consciousness is That Which Makes Existence Relevant 04:15 Is-ness, Am-ness, I-ness, My-ness 07:38 Repertoires of Consciousness 11:24 Everything is a Response to Observation 14:57 Maximizing Capability 19:49 Q: Where was the one thing before it became many? 20:04 A: Everywhereness Inside of It 23:36 Once Upon a Time 26:26 The Variety that Creates Storyline 29:17 Lesha Avidya: The Faint Remains of Ignorance 32:09 A Blend of Ignorance and Consciousness 34:42 Q - Is more consciousness better? 35:13 A: The Animal Kingdom is More Violent Than the Human Kingdom 37:32 Content vs Context 42:15 The Ability of EnlightenmentYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Hj3SxekBMOMUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

When the new year rolls around, many people are quick to set goals and make resolutions. Unfortunately, this is often a distraction from the deeper work that we all have to do. There's usually something that we're hiding behind, something that we don't want to look at, because we know that work will be hard… really hard. We'd rather focus on the shiny external work, rather than excavating the thing that's really keeping us stuck. But what if life forces us to look at it? Isn't it better to choose to do the work before it brings us to our knees? As we journey further into 2026, consider uncovering the thing that's really holding you back. Hold it up to the mirror and bravely start excavating. You're up to the task. What am I reading?The Burning Library by Gilly Macmillanhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063422919Crafting the Wheel of the Year by Claire Gelder & Deb Bowen https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781800922372https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Good Girls by Josie Edwards What's for dinner?Green Goddess Salad SandwichIngredients:Whole grain or sourdough breadFresh greens: spinach, arugula, and/or romaine lettuceCucumbersAvocadoTomatoDressing:Fresh herbs: parsley, basil, and/or dill Greek yogurt or mayo Salt and pepperInstructions: Choose thick hearty bread.

#ELOsoFumarTakes – #351stTake It's that time of year again… my Top Ten Cigars of 2025 are about to be revealed.       WELCOME BACK! HAPPY NEW YEAR! The night is here! The time is right! It's time for the #ELOsoFumarTakes Top 10 Cigars of 2025! Once again, the legendary George Brightman joins us for the Top 10 Countdown for the ages! I've sent George my top ten cigars for him to sample and taste test blind. He gives an honest breakdown alongside my own assessments. Enjoy! Criteria: It's vitola based. I had to have smoked the cigar for the first time in the last year and a half.* It must not suck. No limited edition cigars (i.e. TAA, shop exclusive) are eligible. A previous number 1 cigar winner (blend-specific, i.e. 2017 Winner Espinosa Habano) cannot be on this year's Top 10 or repeat as winner.* A company cannot have more than 1 cigar on the Top 10, however, may be considered for honorable mention.* THE BIG ONE: frequency of smoke. Basically, I had to have the means AND opportunity AND did, in fact, smoke the cigar frequently.   Just to review, here is last year's list: Top 10 Cigars of 2024: Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu Blue No. 1 Toro Grande BLK WKS Killer Bee Robusto Room101 Johnny Tobacconaut Robusto (2023 Edition) Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Robusto Gordo Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Umbagog Bronzeback Plascencia Cosecha 149 Azacualpa Powstanie Connecticut Belicoso La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut Corona Micallef Blue Robusto Ferio Tego Summa Torpedo       Top 10 Cigars of 2025 (this year): 1) Kristoff Veinte Twentieth Anniversary Toro (Timestamp: 02:49:37) The Veinte Cigar follows the recipe template of incorporating tobacco from many regions.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show,  Ross sits down with Wil Reynolds—founder of Seer Interactive and an icon in the world of search—to explore how to play the long game in marketing, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Will doesn't hold back as he shares tactical insights into how AI is reshaping content creation, search, and discovery. From real-world applications of tools like PhantomBuster and Claude Code to personal philosophies about content, agency building, and mindset, this episode is loaded with actionable wisdom and candid perspective. Wil also opens up about what he'd do if he had to start over from scratch, the dangers of imposter syndrome, and how to use AI to interview subject matter experts in a scalable way. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Respect the Audience's Attention - Share only what you genuinely believe will teach someone something. - Use a simple gut-check: “Would I want to see this in my feed?” - Don't post to post—post to educate and create real value. 2. “Real Stuff” Builds Trust - The most resonant content is often the painful, honest, behind-the-scenes truth. - Being raw and human builds long-term sentiment—and turns strangers into future clients. - The posts that work are raw: mistakes, broken processes, real lessons. 3. Distribution Beats “Perfect Content Process” - Over-engineered content processes don't matter if nobody distributes the output. - Optimize for conversation + sharing, then adapt it for search after you know it hits. 4. Use Data + AI to Run Experiments (and Get Leverage) - Tools like PhantomBuster + Claude/Claude Code can turn LinkedIn into a research + lead engine. - Track who engages (titles, industries), then use that insight for outreach and pipeline planning. - Blend paid + organic data to spot waste/opportunity (e.g., language intent mismatches, “people also ask” signals). - The goal isn't replacing people — it's pulling real knowledge out of them faster. 5. Future-Proofing Means Adaptability - The real edge is staying unsatisfied with the status quo and constantly testing new approaches. - Leaders should make it safe to “break things” while learning—innovation is messy by nature. - Wil's focus isn't predicting 10 years out—it's preparing people now for automation shifts through skills, reps, and experimentation.

For the first time in Barrel-Aged December history, we have a whole show of gin barrel-aged beers - and we'll tell you why that's something of a rarity. With an all-star lineup of breweries, nothing here is a letdown - but there are still plenty of flavor surprises to be had. Also, we're drawing up some jukebox strategies given unforeseen circumstances; we're ready to bring back the horse blanket; and we're letting the gin make us more poetic. And then there's the introduction of GinBot 3000, the worst character we've ever created.  Beers Reviewed Afterthought Brewing - Bière de Pieces #50 (Blend of saisons aged in neutral oak and gin barrels) is/was brewing - Tree Tipper Aged in Gin Barrels [2024] (Saison w/ spruce tips & honey aged in gin barrels) Third Space Brewing - Gin Barrel-Aged Cranberry Gose Werk Force Brewing Company - Gin Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Vultures (Saison aged in gin barrels) Supermoon Beer Company - Gin Barrel Sensitive King (Belgian-style Tripel aged in gin barrels)

Do you ever spend time reminiscing?We seem to think back a lot from our current empty next vantage point.  It can be great to recall some of those funny moments in our history.  And it's meaningful when we recount the tough seasons we've endured together as well.As we head into the holidays, we thought it would be fun to pull an interview with our kids out of the archives.

Heyrarlo performs next Thursday from 7 till 10:30pm at Berlin in Minneapolis. Trumpeter DeCarlo and bassist Mickey from the group met with Phil Nusbaum to talk about the group. When the group formed, it played private events. Then, it got a residency in a club. Mickey said that was a turning point for Heyarlo.

At the Abilities Expo 2025 in Chicago, we enjoy the bustling noise of a community built on independence, resourcefulness, and zero tolerance for pity. With Katy Roberts as our guide, we explore how this decades-strong event turns accessibility from a checkbox into a living, breathing experience where disabled people don't blend in—they lead.Katy Roberts walks us through what makes the Expo different: hundreds of vendors you can actually touch and test, adaptive sports and mobility demos that invite participation, and a layout designed around dignity. We trace the event's roots back to 1979 and its growth across seven cities, then dig into the mindset shift that happens when disability is the majority in the room. That shift unlocks confidence, connection, and a practical swagger that says help is welcome but condescension isn't. Along the way, we challenge the tired narrative that a disability event is “sad” and show why it's a celebration of agency and problem-solving.Katy shares how her background in exhibitions, her UK perspective on the Disability Act, and her mom's MS inform the small details that matter—clear signage, rest spaces, trained staff, and access that goes beyond legal minimums. We talk about ADA compliance as a starting point, not a finish line, and why better design grows markets and reduces friction for everyone. You'll hear about standout guests—from a traveler who's visited 53 countries to a Boston Marathon bombing survivor—whose stories center curiosity, resilience, and community, not clichés.If you're near LA, New York, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, or Dallas, check abilities.com for dates and resources, including product demos you can watch from home. If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a boost, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show. Your voice helps this community stay loud.

'Tis the season, so brew up a hot cup of holiday blend, fix yourself a plate of speculoos, and have a listen! This episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast is sponsored by Breville, Ceado, Pacific Barista Series, La Marzocco, Ghirardelli, and DONA.

Story Transcript:Nl: De kou van de Amsterdamse winter omarmde de stad, maar binnen in de koffiebranderij was het warm en gezellig.En: The cold of the Amsterdamse winter embraced the city, yet inside the coffee roastery, it was warm and cozy.Nl: De geur van vers gebrande koffiebonen vulde de lucht, en de twinkelende kerstlichtjes zorgden voor een feestelijke sfeer.En: The smell of freshly roasted coffee beans filled the air, and the twinkling Christmas lights created a festive atmosphere.Nl: Sven, een stille, nadenkende barista, stond achter de toonbank en bekeek de klanten die naar binnen slenterden.En: Sven, a quiet, thoughtful barista, stood behind the counter observing the customers who drifted in.Nl: Zijn ogen bleven hangen op Elke, een vaste klant met een liefde voor boeken en een warme glimlach die zelfs de koudste dag kon opfleuren.En: His eyes lingered on Elke, a regular customer with a love for books and a warm smile that could brighten even the coldest day.Nl: Elke kwam vaak langs voor een kopje koffie en bracht dan haar laatste literaire ontdekking mee.En: Elke often dropped by for a cup of coffee while bringing along her latest literary discovery.Nl: Sven wist dat ze van boeken en koffie hield, maar verder kende hij haar niet goed genoeg om een perfect cadeau te vinden.En: Sven knew she loved books and coffee, but beyond that, he didn't know her well enough to find a perfect gift.Nl: Hij wilde haar iets geven dat zijn gevoelens zou overbrengen, maar hij had geen idee wat.En: He wanted to give her something that would convey his feelings, but he had no idea what that might be.Nl: En de tijd drong, want de branderij zou vroeg sluiten voor de kerst.En: And time was running out because the roastery would close early for Christmas.Nl: Sven nam een besluit.En: Sven made a decision.Nl: Hij draaide zich om naar Elke toen ze aan haar cappuccino nipt.En: He turned to Elke as she sipped her cappuccino.Nl: "Heb je al plannen voor de vakantie?"En: "Do you have any plans for the holidays?"Nl: vroeg hij, zijn stem iets zachter dan normaal.En: he asked, his voice slightly softer than usual.Nl: Elke keek op, verrast door zijn plotselinge interesse.En: Elke looked up, surprised by his sudden interest.Nl: "Ik ga naar een boeklezing," antwoordde ze, haar ogen glanzend.En: "I'm going to a book reading," she replied, her eyes gleaming.Nl: "En jij?"En: "And you?"Nl: Sven glimlachte nerveus.En: Sven smiled nervously.Nl: "Ik ben eigenlijk meer benieuwd naar waar jij van houdt," gaf hij toe, blozend.En: "I'm actually more curious about what you love," he admitted, blushing.Nl: Elke lachte en vertelde hem over haar favoriete boeken en personages.En: Elke laughed and told him about her favorite books and characters.Nl: Het was een gesprek dat langer duurde dan Sven had verwacht, maar het gaf hem precies de inspiratie die hij nodig had.En: It was a conversation that lasted longer than Sven expected, but it gave him exactly the inspiration he needed.Nl: Nadat Elke was vertrokken, werkte Sven snel aan een speciaal cadeautje.En: After Elke had left, Sven quickly worked on a special gift.Nl: Hij selecteerde zorgvuldig een mix van koffiebonen en verpakte deze mooi.En: He carefully selected a blend of coffee beans and wrapped them nicely.Nl: Op de verpakking schreef hij de naam van een geliefd verhaalpersonage, dat ze tijdens hun gesprek had genoemd.En: On the packaging, he wrote the name of a beloved story character she had mentioned during their conversation.Nl: Vlak voordat de branderij sloot, kwam Elke nog één keer langs.En: Just before the roastery closed, Elke came by one last time.Nl: Sven stak het pakketje naar haar uit.En: Sven handed her the package.Nl: "Voor jou."En: "For you."Nl: Elke opende het verrassend pakketje en lachte breed.En: Elke opened the surprise package and beamed.Nl: "Dit is geweldig!"En: "This is wonderful!"Nl: zei ze.En: she said.Nl: "Dank je, Sven."En: "Thank you, Sven."Nl: Ze keek hem aan, haar blik open en vriendelijk.En: She looked at him, her gaze open and friendly.Nl: "Wil je met me mee naar de boeklezing deze kerst?"En: "Would you like to join me for the book reading this Christmas?"Nl: stelde Elke voor.En: Elke suggested.Nl: Sven knikte, blij met de uitnodiging en het vooruitzicht haar beter te leren kennen.En: Sven nodded, happy with the invitation and the prospect of getting to know her better.Nl: Sven voelde zich opgelucht en gelukkig.En: Sven felt relieved and happy.Nl: Hij had de stap genomen om eerlijk te zijn over zijn gevoelens, en het had geresulteerd in een onverwachte uitnodiging.En: He had taken the step to be honest about his feelings, and it resulted in an unexpected invitation.Nl: Hij had niet alleen vertrouwen in zichzelf gewonnen, maar ook in de kracht van directe communicatie.En: He had gained not only confidence in himself but also in the power of direct communication.Nl: Terwijl ze de branderij afsloten, snowde het zachtjes buiten, en Sven wist dat dit een kerst was die hij niet snel zou vergeten.En: As they closed the roastery, it snowed gently outside, and Sven knew this was a Christmas he wouldn't soon forget.

Restoring a 250-year-old farmhouse isn't just a renovation project. It's a blueprint for modern marketing.That's the lesson from Jean-Christophe Pitié, Chief Marketing and Chief Partner Officer at Contentsquare, who's spent the last five years bringing new life to a centuries-old home outside Paris. In this episode, we break down the marketing lessons hidden in his restoration journey.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from blending heritage with innovation, finding creativity in constraints, and designing connected experiences where every touchpoint matters.About our guest, Jean-Christophe PitiéWith 20+ years of experience in international marketing and partner engagement, Jean-Christophe is committed to supporting companies of all sizes in their digital transformation. Passionate about technology and retail, he spent two decades at Microsoft, where he had the opportunity to contribute to the cloud transformation and to launch Microsoft 365 as well as leading Microsoft Stores. Today, as Chief Marketing and Partnerships Officer at Contentsquare, Jean-Christophe's main mission is to drive customer demand in markets around the world, continue to grow our rich partner ecosystem, and bring holistic customer experience insights to more teams worldwide.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the restoration of a French farmhouse:Honor your legacy while modernizing for today. Great brands, like great houses, balance tradition and innovation. Jean-Christophe explains, “I had architects who came initially, and they wanted to put glass everywhere, tear down some big stone walls, and I'm like, guys, this house has had oak beams for 250 years. I'm not gonna tear them down. I'm gonna keep them.” In B2B, the same logic applies. Your legacy, your history, and your customer trust are part of your brand's foundation. Don't tear them down for the sake of what's trendy. Blend your legacy with fresh, modern layers such as new tech, new storytelling, and new energy, without losing what made your brand distinct. That balance between the old and the new is what gives it lasting beauty and credibility.Constraints fuel creativity. Jean-Christophe says, “Sometimes the best projects come when… you have a constraint… either a location constraint or timing or budget, you get very creative to work around the constraints.” His farmhouse's three-foot-thick stone walls forced him to rethink how to add modern features, and that challenge sparked originality. In B2B, the same holds true. Limited budget? Shrinking timelines? Regulatory hurdles? These are the sparks for inventive ideas. Don't let your constraints kill creativity; let them focus it.Every touchpoint shapes the experience. When restoring a house, you have to look at the whole picture; every room, material, and detail needs to connect. Jean-Christophe shared, “It's a bit like your marketing strategy. You need to connect across channels… every touchpoint matters.” Just like a home's design must flow seamlessly from one room to the next, so should your brand experience, across your website, content, product, and sales. Inconsistent moments break trust. When every touchpoint feels connected and intentional, you turn friction into flow, and customers into believers.Quote“History is part of who we are, human beings… It's beautiful… It's like a brand. When you think about brand, you want something that's unique, differentiated, [and] people can relate to, which is so beautiful.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jean-Christophe Pitié, Chief Marketing and Chief Partner Officer at Contentsquare[01:04] Jean-Christophe's French Farmhouse Restoration Project[04:38] Balancing Tradition and Innovation in Restoration Projects[13:56] Creative Solutions and Constraints in Restoration[21:30] Importance of Legacy[26:51] B2B Marketing Lessons from Restoring a French Farmhouse[38:30] Innovations at Content Square[43:33] Advice for CMOs on Investing in Brand[45:45] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jean-Christophe on LinkedInLearn more about ContentsquareAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this wide-ranging and eye-opening conversation, Ginny sits down with Debra Williams, a health and wellness advocate, mom, and creator of Mind Body Blend “healthy advocacy” apparel. Debra shares her journey from working in a children's hospital wellness center to questioning why true preventative care like nutrition, toxins, time outside, and lifestyle, rarely shows up in mainstream medical conversations. She and Ginny talk candidly about asking hard questions around childhood health, their own experiences with vaccine injury, and what it means to make genuinely informed decisions in a system that often discourages dissent and critical thinking. From there, the conversation widens to the larger forces shaping childhood today: the normalization of AI and GPS that quietly erode our memory and attention, the peer pressure around smartphones and social media, and the way online culture is collapsing “middle childhood” into grown-up beauty standards and consumerism. Debra shares how her family is choosing a more low-tech, play-filled path, including starting local low-tech and holistic parenting groups, moving toward homeschooling, and helping her 10-year-old daughter stay a kid a little longer, still riding bikes, playing with stuffed animals, and creating instead of scrolling. If you've ever felt uneasy about screens, school, or the speed at which childhood seems to be disappearing, this episode will leave you both challenged and deeply encouraged to build real-life community and protect a simpler, more human way of growing up.
