Sports Social Work Is Booming: NIL, Athlete Mental Health & Careers | Dr. Matthew MooreDr. Matthew Moore joins Diversified Game to break down the rapidly growing field of sport social work and what it actually takes to build a career helping athletes beyond the scoreboard.Dr. Moore is Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Kentucky College of Social Work, co-founder of the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports, founder/editor of the Sport Social Work Journal, and a leader in sport social work education and research.We get into the questions people usually avoid: Do sports social work certificates actually help you get hired? Are relationships and real athletic experience more valuable than credentials? Should social workers pursue a PhD or DSW? Why are many PhD programs funded while DSW programs often are not? Where does AI help research, and where does it fall short?The conversation goes deeper into NIL, athlete protection, dual relationships, financial literacy, youth burnout, international athletes, recruiting in Africa, and the danger of making athletic identity a young person's entire identity. Dr. Moore explains why collegiate and community sports are seeing some of the strongest growth opportunities for social workers and why social work, psychology, psychiatry, coaching, and athletic training should work together instead of competing.We also discuss the University of Kentucky's sport social work education pathways, career networking, his sport social work textbook, and a new comprehensive sport social work handbook being developed with more than 100 international experts.GUESTDr. Matthew MooreUniversity of Kentucky College of Social WorkEmail: mattmoore@uky.eduAlliance of Social Workers in SportsSport Social Work JournalLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results.

Evolution Mining has delivered a record profit of almost $1.5 billion as soaring gold and copper prices combine with higher production and cost control to generate a surge in cash.Sean Aylmer speaks with Evolution Mining Managing Director and CEO Lawrie Conway about why the miner is returning more of that cash to shareholders rather than chasing acquisitions, the growing importance of copper, the role of automation and AI in mining, and why Conway believes Australia's gold sector still needs more consolidation.Find out more: https://fearandgreed.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW podcast, Booming. Seattle is becoming a city of singles. And that’s turned one of the world’s oldest businesses into one of the hottest new ones. App fatigue is causing more and more singles to break up with online dating. Instead of swiping, more and more people are turning to matchmakers and other ways to find love IRL. Often spending thousands of dollars in the process. Matchmaking is having a moment. Could it solve what some are calling the 'relationship recession' and help the economy as well?

Joanna and Zach discuss how American winemakers and grape growers should react to consumer preferences swinging more towards white wines and more decisively away from full-bodied red wines. While the latter have been the backbone of the domestic industry at all price levels, will changing tastes, changing foodways, and changing conditions force US producers to not just make more white wine, but make more high-end white wine?

The United States has always been full of scammers, from snake oil salesmen promising miracle cures, to stockbrokers selling Ponzi schemes. But now, swindlers and thieves have a new tool in their toolbox: AI. The FBI says cybercrimes involving AI stole nearly a billion dollars from 22,000 Americans last year. And the situation is only getting worse. On today's episode, AI has turbocharged the scam industry. So, how can we protect ourselves?

The job market is changing in unpredictable ways. Human Resources, a profession often considered optional and filled with bureaucracy, has been a target for AI disruption. Yet when you look at the numbers, HR job postings are growing faster than overall US employment. (details here.) What's happening and why this strange trend? As I discuss in this podcast, we're now seeing the Superworker effect at scale: HR teams are shifting from administrative to strategic work, now driving direct financial value. And as HR teams learn to use AI, they're now playing a huge role in organizational change, job redesign, and AI enablement. I share all the data and give you the perspective.

Sportly is handing over the feed to our friends at Burn It All Down today. Listen to our previous episode with Amira and Jessica on Heated Rivalry here.

Tom Uren and James Wilson talk about the cybercrime ecosystem shifting towards data theft extortion, stealing sensitive data and extracting ransoms from victims by threatening to leak it. For organisations whose reputation is very important to them, data leaks are a bigger threat than having their files locked up. They also discuss how the rise of AI makes it worth reinvigorating CISA's Secure by Design initiative. Show notes

It's not your imagination. Booking popular experiences in our national parks can feel impossible if you're a mere mortal. Going for a permit to backpack The Enchantments or a campsite on Diablo Lake is kind of like buying a lottery ticket these days. The reason our parks are starting to feel like the Hunger Games arena comes down to bots, artificial intelligence, and the government's top cyber security contractor. On today's episode, is there anything we humans can do to take back our public lands from the bots? GUEST: Heather Hansman, freelance writer and editor.

Woensdag trekt de eerste totale zonsverduistering sinds 1999 over West-Europa. Daardoor floreert het eclipstoerisme: van astronomische hotelprijzen tot dure vliegtuigreizen om boven de wolken te kijken. Die 2 minuten en 18 seconden complete duisternis worden zowat de duurste van de hele zomer. Waarom groeit astrotoerisme zo snel? En hoe spelen reisorganisaties daar slim op in? In deze aflevering hoor je Tijd-journalisten Stephanie De Smedt en Raphael Cockx en ook Werner Hamelinck die astroreizen organiseert voor Volkssterrenwacht Urania. Zij vertellen alles over de booming business achter de zonsverduistering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Economic anxiety has reached a fever pitch. Mortgage rates are creeping back up, there’s a war on, and companies seem more focused on investing in AI than hiring people. Many Americans are worried about their finances, but still splurging more than they’re saving, especially the youngest generations. When they don't have savings, they're taking on debt. There’s a name for this phenomenon – it's called "Doom Spending." On today's episode, Gen Z is spending like never before ... and they’re not the only ones. So what happens to the economy over the long term when so many people are spending like there’s no tomorrow? GUEST: Shikha Jain, lead partner for Simon-Kucher's consumer practice in North America.

At a time when the overall economy is sluggish, the Canadian tourism sector is bucking the trend and projected to grow by 6% in 2026.

Former CNBC and Fox Business anchor Dennis Kneale joins me to explain why Americans are losing faith in capitalism even as the stock market and GDP keep climbing. We dig into housing costs, inflation, government regulation, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and the growing disconnect between the economic numbers celebrated in Washington and the grocery bills crushing actual families. Dennis brings his relentless optimism, I bring the inconvenient questions, and somewhere along the way we determine that socialism still sucks, government is usually standing at the scene of the crime, and Americans may need to stop waiting for politicians to rescue them and start taking responsibility for building their own future.Order Dennie Kneale's new book Oregoners on Amazon: https://a.co/d/07Kz8y6YBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Send us a Positive Review!In this episode Valerie tackles a seemingly contradictory pair of claims: The LDS church is experiencing record-breaking growth! The LDS church is experiencing record-breaking defection! Is one narrative simply not true? Interestingly, the answer is no, both narratives are true. Join Val as she unpacks these seemingly contradictory claims & breaks down how these claims reflect specific kinds of data collection.  She also explores how these narratives are tracking two different demographics of people in different stages of faith and consciousness development.Valerie's hope in episodes like this is to shine a light on normative human growth & development in the context of faith and to illustrate how the churches that do not understand or believe in stages of faith development only serve populations in [important but] earlier stages of growth & pathologize those in later stages, causing ever increasing levels of family fractures and institutional defection. PS: to read more & see the data, pick up a copy of download the book Torn: Why People We Love are Leaving the Church and What We Can Learn from Them by Jeff Strong, linked HERE.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Series Setup02:45 Two Conflicting Narratives04:16 Record Baptisms Data06:17 Disaffiliation Statistics12:01 Both And Explanation14:03 Three LDS Demographics14:21 Active Core Strengths17:58 Disaffiliated Core Growth22:30 Never Fully Affiliated26:11 Stages of Faith Framework29:26 Attachment Stage Church Fit31:02 Differentiation and Homelessness41:44 Integration and Compassion44:20 Closing ReflectionsSupport the showStories of Healing: Live Event July 30th in SLCSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website

When it comes to its Xbox, Microsoft is doing a hard reset. The company is reducing its gaming division by about 20 percent. Microsoft calls it “the most significant restructuring in Xbox history.”  Most of those layoffs are spread out across the country. But what happens in gaming matters here—Seattle has so many industry jobs and studios that it’s often called the "Hollywood of video games." For the workers who live and breathe gaming, their ability to keep or find a good job feels like an impossible gauntlet. On today's episode, what's really going on with Xbox?

On this episode of Bridge the Gap, hosts Josh and Lucas sit down with Bobby Guy to unpack the massive changes happening across senior living, healthcare investing, and capital markets. Bobby shares why senior housing M&A activity is reaching record levels, how demographic shifts are reshaping the future of senior care, and why the industry desperately needs innovation aimed at the middle market, not just luxury communities.

It's a strange time: the economy and capital markets are booming, yet worker engagement is as low as it was during the pandemic. It's a strange combination of events: stock market at all time highs while affordability and trust are at all time lows. Have we over-inflated our economy or is it something more systemic. As I discuss in my latest article, some of the challenges we face have been building for many years, while others are very recent. We live in a world of growing automation, fear of job loss, yet an extraordinary world of new health, business, and creative opportunities. And young people are the most pessimistic of all. Is it just the “chaos of change” that's causing the issue? In today's podcast I explain the factors and give you, as a business or HR leader, some advice on what to do. Additional Background Affordability Is Not Just Inflation: It's Time For A Historic Shift In Wages.

Statewide, Washington needs to build 55,000 new homes per year to house new residents. The state is currently producing just 75% of that. That makes housing expensive... and it’s not just Washington state facing a long-term housing shortage. For years, Americans have been begging politicians to do something about the high cost of housing buying an adequate place to live. In late June, something happened that almost never happens in Washington, D.C.—Republicans and Democrats came together to pass a major bill aimed at unlocking the housing supply. The bill is called the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, and it just became law over the weekend. Some lawmakers are calling this bill the most consequential housing reform in decades. On today's episode, we look at what it can really deliver. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Mark Davis, CEO of Black Rock Coffee Bar, a beverage brand that has grown to around 200 locations in seven states in its 18 years. The team at Black Rock believes they have a differentiated model that will help the brand compete nationally against the likes of Dutch Bros, 7 Brew, and Scooter's. For one, Black Rock has a lobby in more than half of its locations rather than being drive thru only, but also, its investment in engaging and hospitable baristas has generated incredible loyalty to the brand while also keeping turnover extremely low. Mark joined the podcast to talk about what it takes to win in the beverage category today, which menu platforms and dayparts are likely to drive incremental growth in the future, and why going public last year was the right move for Black Rock.In this conversation, you'll find out why:Build a performance culture if you want to win with hospitality Treat your teams like their parents would want you to Service could be what separates the good from the great in beverage If you plan to go public, make sure your whole team is aligned on the goalsRegister for CREATE here: https://informaconnect.com/create/ Have feedback or ideas for Take-Away?
