Sydney, Drew, and Peter are back to talk all things junior hockey with a Minnesotan flavor. On deck this week is some chatter about the junior hockey/recruiting ramifications of the Brett Larson hire by the University of Minnesota, a very anti-AI rant about the NAHL's recent statement regarding sanctioned junior leagues and eligibility, and Sydney's utterly ridiculous preferred hot dog topping. Hope you enjoy.
In this episode, Derek (@CreaseAndAssist), Steve (@brandsteve), and Theresa (@MNSOTA24) start the show with the sad news of the sudden passing of Jessi Pierce and her three children in a tragic house fire. Her absence in the hockey world will definitely be felt. Next, they discuss the twin firings of the University of Minnesota Men's Hockey Head Coach, Bob Motzko and Women's Head Coach, Brad Frost. Both rolls have already been filled by Brett Larson for the men and Greg "Boom" May for the women. These hirings will hopefully bring some excitement and improvement to both programs. We also discuss the Minnesota Wild's recent struggles against non-playoff teams and what that might mean as the regular season is about to end and playoffs begin. If you would like to join the conversation, contact us at X/Twitter or Blue Sky and tag it #CreasePodcast and we'll include it in our next show.

In this episode, David Wollen is joined by Brett Larson to explore the need for discernment in the age of AI.
This conversation was originally released in February of 2025. We're replaying this episode because Cognex sits right at the intersection of AI and robotics. As the market focuses more on physical AI and automation in 2026, machine vision is becoming an increasingly important part of that story. Today we are breaking down Cognex, the leader in machine vision. Cognex builds the cameras, sensors, and software that allow factories and logistics systems to see. Their technology inspects products, detects defects, reads barcodes, and guides robots across manufacturing lines and warehouses around the world. Cognex is not your typical recurring revenue story. It is a cyclical industrial business that has grown by repeatedly finding new “S-curves” in automation. From early semiconductor inspection to modern logistics systems and AI-driven vision, the company has spent decades expanding the applications of machine vision across industries. Our guest today is Brett Larson from NZS Capital. Brett walks us through the history of machine vision, Cognex's unique culture and founder story, and the company's position inside the broader automation ecosystem. We also discuss how Cognex sells into factories, the competitive dynamics with companies like Keyence, and why new technologies like deep learning could unlock the next wave of growth.

Today on Ascend, we discuss Plato, education, the role of the teacher, eros, beauty, and much more drawing from the dialogues First Alcibiades and the Meno. Returning to the podcast, we have Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Frank Grabowski, Dr. Brett Larson, and Thomas Lackey.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Visit our LIBRARY OF WRITTEN GUIDES to help you read the great books. What does it mean to teach like Plato? In this rich, wide-ranging conversation the panel explores lessons on education drawn from Plato's First Alcibiades and Meno. The central idea: the true teacher is not an information-dispenser or job-trainer, but a lover of the soul who serves as a living mirror in which the student comes to “know himself” and is drawn toward virtue, happiness, and ultimate beauty.Summary:The conversation revolved around a single, radiant idea: for Plato, the true teacher is not a dispenser of information or a trainer for the marketplace, but a lover of the soul. In First Alcibiades, Socrates positions himself as the living mirror in which the young, ambitious Alcibiades can finally see himself clearly and be drawn toward genuine happiness through virtue. Education is therefore deeply personal, erotic (in the classical sense of an ardent desire for not only pleasure but also nobility and wisdom), and irreducibly communal; self-knowledge is never solitary navel-gazing but requires another soul whose loving gaze reflects one's own. The panel repeatedly contrasted this rich, teleological vision—where education aims at universal happiness, orders the whole person toward truth, goodness, and beauty, and ultimately points to God as the final mirror—with the thin, “unerotic” reality of modern schooling, which often reduces teachers to talking search engines and students to economic cogs in a materialist machine.A second major thread was the haunting, unresolved tension of the Meno: teaching demands both an able and willing teacher and an able and willing student. Virtue can be cultivated, but it cannot be forcibly downloaded; the student must respond, cooperate, and allow his desires to be re-ordered toward what is truly lovable. This led to broader reflections on beauty, rhetoric, place, and hierarchy: truth is beautiful and therefore insists on being loved; philosophy without rhetoric is impotent, rhetoric without philosophy becomes tyrannical; ugly buildings and disembodied logic deform the soul; natural hierarchy is not abolished by grace but perfected and placed in service of the common good. Throughout, the panel returned to the conviction that genuine education is slow, embodied, relational, and oriented toward the transcendent—an ascent that begins with a teacher who truly sees and loves the soul before him.Key words: Plato, First Alcibiades, Meno, classical education, teacher as lover of the soul, know thyself, virtue, happiness, eudaimonia, beauty, transcendentals, eros, mirror of the soul, rhetoric, philosophy, modern education critique, materialism, teleology, Socratic method, student-teacher relationship, hierarchy, imago Dei, Christian Platonism, and Great Books.This conversation was recorded April 2025.
