No player has worn the Queensland jersey more times than Cameron Smith. Across 42 State of Origin appearances, Smith became the ultimate competitor, captain and match-winner, helping lead the Maroons through one of the most dominant eras in rugby league history. But when asked to choose his favourite Origin, Smith doesn't go back to the beginning. He picks 2017. It was a series that seemed destined for New South Wales after a crushing Game One victory in Brisbane against a Queensland side missing Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk and Johnathan Thurston. Then came Thurston's unforgettable sideline conversion in Sydney despite a shattered shoulder. And finally, a decider in Brisbane that would become Smith's last ever game for Queensland. In this episode of Stories of Origin, Cameron Smith relives the highs, the pressure, the leadership challenges and the moments that made the 2017 series his most memorable Origin campaign. From adversity to triumph, this is the story of one of Queensland's greatest ever victories, told by the man who led it. Thanks to TABSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week we're joined by Beau Neilson to hear all about MyGigPass. MyGigPass is an awesome new initiative aimed at getting more young people seeing live music. The initiative works by offering a platform where venues and artists can offer up free or discounted tickets to shows to 18-25 year olds that have signed up. MyGigPass has been put together by the Live Music Venues Alliance with support from the NSW Government; and in its early months is seeing strong adoption from both venues and punters. We (mainly Cam, actually. Eamonn had internet issues) dive into the nuts and bolts of MyGigPass and also explore Beau Neilson's journey, including the many important roles she now holds within NSW and Australian music.Thanks for listening!

As we continue our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, host Frances Johnson sits down with Cameron Smith, Founder & CEO of Kindling Snacks, and Co-Founder of Kodiak Cakes. Cameron is also a graduate of the David Eccles School of Business with a BS in Business Administration.Cameron talks to Frances about his time at Kodiak Cakes, where he served as president (2019–2023) and helped expand the product line into multiple protein-forward and frozen categories. Cameron shares how it was college's structure that later helped him research, learn, and become well-rounded across business functions, and how he joined early-stage Kodiak without a clear long-term plan, but drawn by the people and the chance to work broadly. Cameron explains the balance between intuition and data, highlighting the successful launch of the protein “Power Cakes” at Target, and discusses building brand affinity beyond functional benefits. He also describes founding Kindling Snacks in May 2024, a better-for-you pretzel brand, and how they meet challenges like tariffs, finding space in stores and on shelves, and the importance of hunger, execution, and real effort.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Taking actions creates your own opportunity[27:05] What was so interesting is the organization that I was a part of at Kodiak with Joel allowed me to do that, allowed me to express those entrepreneurial feelings and mindsets in an already established business that I didn't have to start it, but I was able to disrupt it and innovate. And I think so many times people wait for... They wait for things to happen for them, and they wait for opportunities. And the reality is opportunities do happen for some people, but you have to make it happen.How curiosity fuels disruption[29:40] If you want to be disruptive, you've got to think like someone who is disruptive. The other night, we were driving home, this was so funny, we were driving home as a family, and it was raining, and my 9-year-old daughter, she just starts saying, "You know, Dad," because the windshield wipers were going, "Dad, I know this would cost a lot of money, but they should put, like, a roof over the road so that you don't have to, you know, essentially, like, use your windshield wipers." And is it practical? No. Could you do that across all of America? You couldn't do that, but what's happening is she's seeing the world in possibilities. I read something that our curiosity peaks at age, like, six, like three to five, three to six, which is so unfortunate that as we get older, we stop being curious. We stop having these ideas of, "What if you could put a ceiling above the road?" And, like, she's just thinking these ideas. And then so, like, we need to encourage that, encourage that in people on our teams, encourage that with people that we're around and our families, that curiosity, that observation. And I mean, imagine if you go with your family and you're just, you sit in a Starbucks, and you say, "Okay, what's inefficient about what they're doing? What could they do better? What would you do differently?" And you start to create these mindsets of, "How could we think differently? How could we disrupt?" And it just, like, that's how other things start to happen. Deliberate strategy vs Emergent strategy[21:04] Our deliberate strategy was whole grain pancake mixes, add water only. The emergent strategy was protein pancake mixes, and it started to grow. And so the data told us, "Hey, there was a market for this." So we started to launch new flavors, and it continued to grow to the point that today, as you look at Kodiak as a brand, most places that Kodiak goes into, there's protein in because that's what the brand has become known for. But that was an emergent strategy. That was not our deliberate strategy. And so I think part of that learning is you need to have a deliberate strategy, and you need to pay attention to the emergent strategies. And sometimes your emergent strategy can become your deliberate strategy, but you also don't want to just chase after emergent strategies because that's what some businesses do, and they never see. A strategy that's working because they're looking for the next thing that's going to emerge for a lot of different reasons.Show Links:Kindling Snacks | About UsCameron Smith | LinkedIn ProfileDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

Cooper Cronk is one of rugby league's most cerebral players and a four-time premiership winner who transformed from a modest rugby union schoolboy into one of the game's greatest halfbacks.In this conversation, Cronk reveals the mental frameworks that drove his success, from Craig Bellamy's obsession with fundamentals at Melbourne Storm to his legendary 2018 grand final performance with a broken scapula. He discusses the coffee test that Bellamy uses for recruitment, how the spine positions require high football IQ, and why great players have time others don't. Cronk also opens up about his worst career moment in the 2016 grand final and how it taught him the lesson that secured his next three premierships.• Craig Bellamy's leadership philosophy and the coffee test for recruitment• Playing the 2018 grand final with a broken shoulder blade• The 2016 grand final disaster that changed his entire approach• Why Melbourne Storm's spine trio dominated for over a decade • Cameron Smith's unparalleled football intelligence• The fundamentals that separate elite performers from the rest• His transition into financial services and property investmentJoin my exclusive Mentored+ community: https://mentored.com.au/become-a-member/Subscribe to the Mentored newsletter here: https://mentored.com.au/newsletterSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We've got a couple of interesting sets of numbers for you in this one.In this episode of the Music News, we kick things off with a look at the surge in popularity of heavy music in recent years. Attached to this data is the assertion that the state of the world is driving people back to the mosh. Correlation or causation? Moving from spike to slump, we then explore where Australia landed in the latest Global Music Report from the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry (IFPI). This year's report saw the Aussie market slide further down global rankings; and our modest year-on-year growth makes for uncomfortable reading. We round things off with an age old Homebrewed cloud-yell: Grand Final entertainment. In a win for Australian music, Gomeroi rapper Kobie Dee has been announced as the The A League Men's Grand Final entertainment. This follows the AFL's announcement that Kylie Minogue will perform at the biggest game of their season. We dive into why this is important and where other codes have been letting us down.

Uh-oh! LIV Golf lost its financial life preserver this week. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) is pulling the Saudi P-LUG on LIV Golf at the conclusion of this season in late August. Meanwhile, PGA Tour players and cheerleaders like Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee are doing the expected “I told you so” round of high fives late this week. LIV Golf announced a restructuring plan Thursday “to support a transition from a foundational launch phase to a diversified, multi-partnered investment model”. Let me offer a simpler translation. The Saudi money tree has dried up. They are desperately seeking very wealthy people or cash-rich companies needing a billion-dollar annual tax loss. Oddly, no one has confirmed (or denied) whether the Saudi Public Investment Fund has officially parted ways with funding LIV Golf. The league’s Sugar Daddy cannot be happy with losing an estimated $5 billion over five golf seasons beginning in 2022. Thursday’s announcement by LIV Golf included the addition of an independent board led by a couple of investment bankers. Good luck finding those new pigeons, gents! New Orleans’ first-ever LIV Golf event was expected to be played in late June. Whose bad idea was that? Not to worry. This week, we learned that the New Orleans LIV tournament has been “postponed” (perhaps) until this fall. Louisiana’s state tourism group will receive a refund of more than $1 million already paid to LIV Golf to come to town. However, the state’s taxpayers have already invested $2 million in making needed improvements to bring the former City Park layout (now renamed Bayou Oaks) into condition for a pro golf tournament. At least Crescent City golfers will be able to enjoy the brand new driving range and other course improvements which have been made. What are the chances that LIV Golf finds new backers and survives into next year? Despite all of that flowery rhetoric, LIV Golf’s current business model simply doesn’t work. The league initially paid more than $1 billion in signing bonuses to major golf champions such as Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith, and Bubba Watson. Other top names signed for less than $100 million each. Brooks Keopka and Patrick Reed have recently left LIV Golf. They both joined LIV Golf during its first year in 2022 and played through 2025. The two major champions negotiated their own exit plans over the winter. Koepka then cut a deal with the PGA Tour to return this spring. Patrick Reed was required to wait until the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup concludes in late August before he returns to the tour. LIV Golf’s biggest success has come in a few foreign countries starved to see some of the top professional golf stars. Tour events in Australia and South Africa were sold-out this spring with more than 100,000 fans during their LIV Golf tournaments. LIV Golf’s worldwide events are also quite expensive to transport people, equipment, and facilities to different countries every two weeks. The league has played about half of its tournament schedule in the US. Those events have generally failed to attract significant crowds or revenue. LIV Golf pays its golfers a total prize money worth $30 million at each event in 2026. If a US event draws a total of 40,000 fans at (let’s say) $50 average ticket prices, that generates only $2 million in ticket revenue. The math doesn’t work. LIV Golf’s television package with FOX Sports (which has been covered in a few previous posts) does not provide the league any significant revenue, either. Playing in foreign countries brings major challenges for television. Time zone differences have caused a few events to fall during the overnight hours back in the US. It would require take a drastic reduction in LIV Golf’s tournament purses (back down into the $3-$5 million range) to give the league any chance of treading water financially. Such a payday reduction would likely cause top LIV Golf names like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau to leave once their contracts expire. DeChambeau’s LIV agreement is set to expire at the end of this summer. What type of investor wants to spend their money on such a risky business venture with its top attractions leaving? Not many – if any. Then again, the PGA Tour’s own financial picture isn’t all that great, either The PGA Tour has always remained closely guarded when it comes to its own financial affairs. Some at PGA headquarters may want to pop some champagne bottles upon hearing of LIV Golf’s likely demise. In reality, the PGA Tour’s accountant should counsel them to put the bubbly back into the bar – at least for now. Did you know that the PGA Tour abruptly (and very quietly) ended two long-time events staged in Hawaii? The PGA Tour has held at least one annual golf tournament in Hawaii since 1965. Honolulu has played host to the Sony Open in Oahu for 51 years. Another tournament called the Sentry (Insurance) Open was added in Maui beginning in 1999. It featured the winners of each of the prior year’s PGA golf tournaments along with other leading money winners. Attendance at both events has never been particularly strong. However, January’s television coverage of golf being played in the warm sunshine of Hawaii had been great in attracting home TV audiences and the title golf sponsors. The PGA Tour just said “Aloha” to these long-time events beginning next year Cancellation of these two long-running PGA men’s golf events in Hawaii next year are not the only departures from the PGA Tour after 2026, either. Farmer’s Insurance ended its long-time sponsorship of the PGA event in San Diego earlier this spring. The insurance provider had been the title sponsor at Torrey Pines in San Diego for the past 17 years. Other long-time PGA Tour sponsors such as Genesis (Los Angeles), Charles Schwab (Fort Worth) and Wyndham Hotels (Greensboro) face renewal decisions in 2026. Primary PGA Tour sponsors are becoming increasingly skeptical about making significant multi-year financial commitments at increasing costs. The average PGA Tour title sponsorship now costs nearly $15 million per year with a multi-year commitment required from the sponsor. These title companies expect more than just goodwill when forking-out a significant percentage of their annual advertising budget to sponsor a one week pro golf tournament. Why are PGA title sponsorships priced so high today? Let’s go back a few decades. Phil Mickelson first teed-up on the PGA Tour in the summer of 1992. He’s now 55 and was one of the first PGA Tour golfers signed by LIV Golf in 2022. Tiger Woods has, for practical purposes, retired from the PGA Tour. He turned 50 last December and now qualifies to play on the PGA Champions (Senior) Tour. There was a dramatic increase for PGA tournament payouts during Tiger and Phil’s careers. Fans of both golfers helped to generate a renewed interest in the game over the past 30 years. The total prize pool for ALL PGA Tour events in 1994 was $57 million. By 2024, the men’s golf tournament payouts had increased almost tenfold to $551 million. Unfortunately, both Phil Mickelson and the oft-injured and recently out-of-sight Tiger Woods are no longer factors in recent years. The competition from LIV Golf beginning in 2022 absolutely contributed to the PGA Tour maintaining and boosting its tournament payouts. It was done to prevent other major PGA stars from jumping over to the new LIV Golf league. Guess who has been footing the bill for those huge increases in tournament payouts? Tournament title sponsors, of course! A golf tournament’s title sponsor generally covers all of the costs associated with bringing a PGA Tour event to each community. The money goes to pay for operational costs on the ground plus that rising amount of tournament prize money being paid to the players. That good ol’ economic concept of the elasticity of demand is in effect right now. The loss of PGA Tour long-time tournament title sponsors has resulted in a reduction in the number of annual events. Many PGA weekly tournaments feature a rather watered-down field with few of the top 50 players bothering to show up. Some may not like the golf course. Others are taking time to prepare for future events or spend the week with their families. Tournament title sponsors, though, are left with a field with few “name” golfers. That leads to lower local attendance and reduced national television exposure for the title sponsor of that particular golf tournament. Today’s top PGA Tour fan favorites include Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. A little renewed competition from young major champion golfers like LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith would definitely boost interest at some of the PGA Tour’s most neglected tournament stops. The PGA Tour’s most recent media rights deals with CBS and NBC/Golf Channel provides annual revenue of $700 million through the year 2030. It would be a smart business decision for the PGA Tour to add the primary stars of LIV Golf into the mix long before the next round of TV rights negotiations. The PGA Tour shouldn’t gloat about LIV Golf’s financial failure A $3 billion life preserver was provided to the PGA Tour in early 2024 from private equity partner Strategic Sports Group. That cash infusion has kept the long-term golf league in respectable financial shape. Half of the $3 billion was utilized to create a new long-term bonus incentive program for the golfers. Current PGA stars earn a portion of their bonus money based on their annual performance. Importantly, they are required to remain a PGA member in order to collect that money in the future. The other half of the $3 billion from Strategic Sports Group was slated for “PGA Tour business.” What exactly does that mean? Is it being used to cover tournament losses? What about the cost of funding former PGA players’ retirement accounts? Nobody knows for sure. Phil Mickelson had deep suspicions about how the PGA Tour was being managed. That is one reason why Lefty jumped to LIV Golf in 2022. He claimed that the PGA Tour had been unfair to its players by retaining the exclusive rights to sell and market highlights of individual golfers to social media sites without compensation going back to the players. An increasing lack of trust between top PGA Tour management and several key players came to a head once LIV Golf came knocking in 2022. How can the PGA Tour patch things up with LIV golfers if that league folds soon? Yes, I do have a few ideas. Come back next time for Part 2. Let’s work out a plan so that golf fans emerge as the winners! The post Hey, PGA Tour! Most fans WANT LIV Golfers Back! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Sean Sullivan opens the show discussing escalating tensions in the Middle East and debates over U.S. military action and congressional war powers with guest Cameron Smith. Later, 1819 News reporter Erica Thomas joins the program to talk about Alabama political stories, including a proposal for Republicans to participate in the Selma bridge commemoration and a young candidate running for the state legislature. In the final hour, Mobile County Probate Judge Mark Erwin answers listener questions about voting procedures, polling locations, voter registration status, and what Mobile County voters should know ahead of the upcoming elections.
Over the years, Cameron Smith has used comedy, music and film as ways to process life and connect with people in a real, unpolished way. His latest project, The Loneliest Boy on Earth, came out of that impulse — part experiment, part personal confession, and part attempt to make sense of love and identity in the modern world. He has learned that vulnerability, when shared honestly, can be both healing and entertaining (also provocative and dangerous).Across all mediums — whether film, music, or live conversation — my work is about pushing boundaries, experimenting with form, and ultimately creating something that is both meaningful and entertaining.This was a spirited convo covering what artists should do, loneliness, taking risks and so much more. Don't miss it!!This episode, like all episodes of If This Is True, brings forth what drives creatives to do what they do.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.
