This month on Minnesota Night Skies, it's a quiet month as we wait for spring to finally arrive, but there are a few things to look out for. Aurora season continues over most of Minnesota! Mars aligns with Gemini's bright start Castor and Pollux on April 10. Look for the smallest full moon of the year, the so-called micro-moon on April 12.  Don't believe it?  Bob has tips to assemble photographic proof. Also April 12, there's a close conjunction with Spica in Virgo. Look for the peak of the annual Lyrid meteor shower April 22. Venus has flipped over to the morning sky after it passed between the Earth and sun. We'll have a nice conjunction of Venus, Saturn and the crescent moon on April 25 very low at dawn.   And watch Jupiter and Mars move to the east at a good clip this month as they orbit the sun.   Plus, for the first time ever, Bob reads poetry!   Next month on Minnesota Night Skies, another meteor shower to look forward to, plus more pleasant weather (we hope) to encourage folks to spend the night out under the stars.   Astro Bob is podcasting!

MM#397-- The Game That Transformed Basketball: How Magic and Bird Launched a Cultural Phenomenon

Theory 2 Action Podcast

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageBasketball changed forever on March 26, 1979. What might have been just another NCAA championship game instead became the launching pad that transformed college basketball into the cultural phenomenon we now know as March Madness. Seth Davis' masterful book "When March Went Mad" chronicles this pivotal moment when Magic Johnson's Michigan State Spartans faced Larry Bird's undefeated Indiana State Sycamores.The magic of this matchup wasn't just about the basketball. It was about contrasting personalities that captured America's imagination—Magic with his megawatt smile and flashy play style versus Bird's stoic demeanor and precision shooting from "another zip code." Their presence on college basketball's biggest stage drew an astounding 35.1 million viewers and a 24.1 Nielsen rating, still the highest-rated basketball game ever broadcast, outperforming even Michael Jordan's most-watched NBA Finals game.What makes Davis' storytelling particularly captivating is how he goes beyond the box score to reveal the human drama. Through interviews with over 150 people connected to the game, we're transported behind the scenes to production meetings where NBC executives made the pivotal decision to focus on star power: "Nobody cares about Bob King. What about Magic and Bird?" That decision set the template for how basketball would be marketed for decades to come. (see below about Bob King and his good health outcome)While Michigan State won 75-64, the true victor was college basketball itself. This single game lit the fuse that would explode into the tournament obsession we know today, complete with office pools, bracket challenges, and buzzer-beater moments that unite fans across America each March. Whether you're a longtime basketball junkie or just curious about how cultural phenomena take shape, this book reveals how forty minutes of basketball forever changed American sports.Key Points from the Episode:• Basketball junkie David Kaiser shares personal memories of falling in love with March Madness as a child• The 1979 championship game drew an unprecedented 24.1 Nielsen rating with 35.1 million viewers• NBC executives made the crucial decision to focus coverage on Magic and Bird rather than other storylines• Behind-the-scenes look at how television production decisions shaped basketball broadcasting• Michigan State won 75-64, but the real winner was college basketball itself• No basketball game since—college or pro—has matched the ratings of this cultural touchstone• The decade following this game (1979-1989) represents the golden age of college basketballKeep fighting the good fight and enjoy the madness of March!Other resources: Side note on Bob King stepping down as head coach which may result in questions, here is my research"After leaving his coaching role, King continued as Athletic Director until 1980, after which he largely withdrew from public roles in athletics, likely due to his health. King passed away in 2004 at age 81, he is remembered for his basketball legacy at Indiana State and the University of New Mexico."Want to leave a review?

Those with advanced skills are often adept at recognizing the right moments to close a deal, understanding client needs, and building strong relationships that lead to successful outcomes. On the other hand, individuals lacking these skills may struggle to effectively navigate the closing process, resulting in missed opportunities and stalled deals.

On today's episode, we discuss how a lack of closing across your entire organization could be detrimental to your company's success.Bob King is an award-winning author, filmmaker, and sales expert, renowned for his exceptional achievements in the industry, including multiple "Sales Star of the Year" honors. With a proven track record across retail, in-home, and B2B sales, Bob consults with sales professionals to infuse One-Call Magic into pitches, revive slumping teams, and transform total strangers into loyal customers—often within the first meeting. Key Discussion Points:Closing is a Universal Skill: The concept of closing extends beyond sales teams to encompass all aspects of life and business. Whether it's getting your kids to clean their room or influencing organizational change, everyone needs to master the art of closing. This involves building trust, being persuasive, and understanding that closing is about facilitating a decision that benefits all parties involved.Trust and Genuine Connection are Foundational: To be effective in closing, it's essential to build trust and establish a genuine connection with the people you're dealing with. This requires a sincere interest in their needs, challenges, and experiences. Belief in Your Product or Proposal is Crucial: To successfully close a deal or persuade others, you must have unwavering belief in what you're selling or proposing. This belief should be authentic and rooted in the conviction that what you're offering is truly the best solution for the other party. Address Objections with Empathy: Rather than ignoring objections or the reluctance to make a decision, engage with them sincerely. Addressing their concerns builds intimacy and trust, which can lead to a successful close. Effective Communication Requires Silence: One of the most crucial moments to be silent is after presenting a price or asking for a deal. Silence allows the other party to process information and respond, which can often result in a positive outcome.Leaders Need to Inspire and Empower: Leaders, like CEOs, often have a strong belief in their company and its value, which makes them effective closers. To extend this ability to their teams, leaders must share their passion and experience in a relatable way, allowing team members to adopt these beliefs as their own. Top Takeaways for the Audience:A successful organization relies on its sales team's ability to close deals, not just generate interest, as skilled closers are essential for converting leads into customers.Effective leadership involves guiding others to adopt your agenda willingly, similar to closing a sale, by understanding and addressing their needs.Developing your sales team through training and resources is crucial for improving their ability to close deals, leading to happier customers and business success.How to Connect with Bob:Website: https://www.joyofclosing.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-king-7a37951/

Peter Alsop's SONGS TO CHEW

    Today's 'Song To Chew', SANDWICHES, was written by Bob King.  One of the subjects that kids love to sing about is food!!  We'll 'chew on' ideas about kids and food and the interconnectedness of all the human things we do in our lives.  There's 'enjoyment' and 'sharing'.  There's 'mooching', which is trying to get something that someone else has, but not wanting to 'share' what we have.  'Mooching' is like a 'one way street' where everything on the road is coming in our direction, and real 'sharing' is like a two-way street where traffic goes in both directions.  We find 'anger', 'resentment', and 'bartering' in this song too, and we explore 'expectations' and 'boundary setting'.  Little songs like this can be powerful 'teaching tools' that can create great "A-ha!" moments of clarity for us.  We have to we pay attention and be willing to 'tease it out' and 'chew on it' in order to benefit from these little bits of wisdom. I'm Peter Alsop.  I'll be back soon with another ‘Song to Chew'.  Bye for now! ~ Listen & subscribe to my Songs To Chew = anywhere you get podcasts, or https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peter-alsop-s-songs-to-chew/id1446179156 ~ CAMPING WITH DADS = https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Dads-Peter-Alsop/dp/B08CS871QW/ref=sr_1_1 ~ www.FaceBook.com/WeLikePeterAlsop ~ www.Youtube.com/peteralsop  = videos ~ www.Patreon.com/peteralsop  = be one of my patrons and support my music! ~ www.peteralsop.com/music  = CDs or downloads
