Podcasts about Carman

Ken Carman plays a clip of Todd Monken explaining his reasoning for starting Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders, and he and Anthony Lima break down whether that explanation actually holds up. They dig into why, if the decision really comes down to "operational" reps, Sanders isn't getting a real shot to prove it in the preseason. Carman and Lima also wrestle with the fan backlash toward Watson and lay out why they still expect Sanders to end up playing more than Watson before the season is out.

In this episode of Parker Gals, Liz Xu sits down with her former JPMorgan colleague and friend Caroline Carman, Senior Associate at Rallyday Partners, a lower middle market private equity firm based in Denver, Colorado. Caroline shares her journey from leveraged finance analyst to becoming Rallyday's first associate, building the firm's junior team from the ground up. We dive into what drew her to private equity, the transition from heads-down number crunching to providing strategic thought partnership to portco management teams, and the mentor who shaped her career along the way. Plus, why the "PE guy" stereotype isn't accurate, why she will always identify with Monica on "Friends," and the lesson Caroline wishes she'd learned earlier.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Todd Monken's postgame comments and wonder if his "full body of work" language is a sign he's already softening on benching Deshaun Watson after Saturday's meltdown. A caller pushes back that some of the boos still trace to Watson's off-field history, but Carman and Lima counter that five years of losing football, not old allegations, is what turned fans on him. The two also compare the fan reaction to Nick Chubb's beloved status in Cleveland, arguing winning, not just being a good guy, is what earns the city's love.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima float the theory that Deshaun Watson may have sabotaged his own audition on purpose, freaking out under the boos and venting frustrations he'd been sitting on for years. A caller pushes the idea that Todd Monken keeps talking himself into squeezing something out of Watson no matter what happens on the field, and Carman and Lima wonder aloud what it says about Monken's read on Shedeur Sanders if Watson gets the nod anyway. The two also dig into the $86 million cap penalty boxing the Browns in and admit even they can't fully explain Monken's continued faith in Watson.

Ken Carman shares a mistaken identity mishap from Saturday's drive home before he and Anthony Lima pivot to Shedeur Sanders, arguing his composed performance and growing command of the offense got buried under the Deshaun Watson meltdown coverage. Carman also addresses a nasty online exchange involving people close to Sanders targeting Daryl Ruiter, saying the Browns are not happy about it and that Sanders would be wise to distance himself from it. The two end up agreeing Sanders earned the starting job on Saturday, with Lima even floating the theory that Watson may have torpedoed his own chances on purpose.

Lima runs through his weekend likes, from the Guardians ripping off four straight wins to Jo Adell's historic RBI pace and Rafael Ramirez's power surge in the minors, before Carman and Lima circle back to Shedeur Sanders' sharp preseason outing against the Bears. They also debate whether third-round pick Austin Barber has already outplayed his draft slot and get sidetracked by the odd case of a Browns practice-squad player heading straight back to LSU on a booster deal.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima work through caller after caller demanding the Browns move on from Deshaun Watson, floating everything from cutting him outright to the reserve/non-football illness list, while Carman keeps circling back to the $86 million dead cap hit that ties the team's hands. Carman and Lima predict Watson won't survive as the starter past week three even if he opens the season under center, and they connect the fan fury to Nick Chubb's retirement as a reminder of what the Watson trade cost the roster. The two also dig into Watson's postgame comments about faith and regret, calling them tone deaf given his role in the team's mess.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima run a hypothetical where the Browns start 2-0 with Deshaun Watson playing average football, debating whether the home crowd would still turn on him or if winning erases the boos entirely. Carman argues it's simple, fans everywhere boo bad performances and cheer good ones, and pushes back hard on the idea that Cleveland's reaction is uniquely toxic compared to any other city's fan base. The two also revisit Watson blaming the media and fans for his picks, with Carman sarcastically taking the blame himself, before bracing for the possibility that the Browns still name Watson the starter.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima revisit Deshaun Watson's postgame comments blaming fan hostility on something "personal" rather than performance, with Carman admitting he blew his own on-air prediction that Watson wouldn't get booed. Callers pile on, with one Browns fan arguing the team has been "conditioned" to tolerate Watson and pushing for Shedeur Sanders, Taylor Green or Dylan Gabriel to take over instead. Carman and Lima wonder whether Watson's comments crossed a line and question if Monken's decision on a starter got harder overnight.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate whether Todd Monken should hand the Browns starting job to Shedeur Sanders after Deshaun Watson's disastrous preseason showing, with Carman admitting he wants Sanders in but worrying a rushed move could set the rookie up to fail. They dig into Watson's history in Cleveland, from the trade to the guaranteed money to his lack of community presence, arguing fans never had a reason to embrace him. The hosts also field angry voicemails demanding Watson be benched or cut immediately.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the fallout from a brutal Deshaun Watson preseason performance against the Bears, where fans booed and Watson called the reaction "personal." Carman rips Watson for the contract, the lack of community presence and now blaming the fanbase, while noting the Browns are financially trapped with him for at least one more year. The segment turns into a wider gut-check on the franchise's quarterback mess, contrasted with Nick Chubb's retirement a day earlier as a reminder of what fans actually respect.

Nancy Verdezoto-Feijoo spent 15 years as a reporter and editor in Ecuador before landing in Manitoba as marketing manager at IHT Group, which builds heating, cooling, and lighting systems for the swine industry. She argues the newsroom taught her the one skill industrial marketers most often skip: listen before you speak. Her buyers are technical, deeply experienced, and allergic to buzzwords, and they talk to each other, which means a single bad experience travels faster than any campaign. Nancy walks Jeff and Carman through months-long buying cycles, why proof beats claims, and why she treats marketing as a growth function rather than a support function.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dive into the growing debate over Browns training camp quarterback evaluations, questioning whether fans and media are overhyping routine completions as highlight-reel throws. The hosts argue that execution, command of the offense, and decision-making matter more than a handful of impressive passes, especially as Cleveland's quarterbacks continue adjusting to a new system. Carman maintains that Shedeur Sanders has earned the edge in the competition because Deshaun Watson has failed to clearly separate himself, while Lima pushes for more context before declaring a winner. The conversation ultimately centers on a simple question: who gives the Browns the best chance to run the offense competently right now?

Ken Carman reacts to comments made during Afternoon Drive's interview with Denzel Ward, taking issue with what he views as overly positive coverage and "feel good" expectations surrounding the team. Carman argues that his skepticism about Cleveland's outlook comes from evaluating the roster honestly, especially after the organization traded away Myles Garrett and still lacks clarity at quarterback. The hosts discuss the difference between supporting a team and providing objective analysis, while also revisiting the ongoing debate surrounding Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson. Carman maintains that Sanders deserves a chance to prove himself, but says optimism alone won't solve the Browns' biggest questions heading into the season.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Mike Sando's annual quarterback tiers, focusing on the stark disconnect between Shedeur Sanders' supporters and the way NFL coaches and executives view him. With Sanders ranked last among the 35 veteran quarterbacks evaluated, Carman argues that Cleveland represents the rookie's best possible opportunity to win a starting job and establish himself in the league. The hosts contend that the Browns' unsettled quarterback situation, combined with Deshaun Watson's struggles in camp, gives Sanders a legitimate path to playing time that may not exist elsewhere in the NFL. The conversation also touches on the realities of quarterback development, why league-wide perceptions matter, and the uncertainty surrounding the Guardians after Angel Genao's promotion raised new concerns about José Ramírez's health.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Akron Football's viral promotion that gives one season-ticket holder the chance to help script the team's opening drive against Robert Morris. While Lima views it as a creative way for a MAC program to generate buzz and engage fans, Carman argues it diminishes the work of coaches and highlights the growing challenges facing non-Power Four football programs. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about the future of the MAC, the widening gap in college football, and what smaller schools must do to stay relevant in the NIL and superconference era. What starts as a quirky promotion quickly turns into a passionate debate about respectability, survival, and the state of college football's middle class.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima continue their Browns quarterback debate, arguing that the biggest story of training camp may be Deshaun Watson's inability to clearly separate himself from Shedeur Sanders. Carman questions how a veteran quarterback with years of NFL experience can still appear uncomfortable operating the offense, while Sanders is at least showing signs of growth in a new system. The hosts discuss why experience should matter at this stage of camp and whether Watson's struggles are making the quarterback competition much closer than expected. They also take listener calls, with several fans echoing the belief that Cleveland should simply play the quarterback who earns the job, regardless of contract size or draft status.

There's an old woman at the edge of the village. She keeps to herself, lives in the shadow of the silk cotton tree, and has no husband, no children, no people anyone can name. And in the mornings, the babies three houses down wake up pale, exhausted, and marked with bruises in the soft places — where the blood runs nearest the skin.   Tonight we travel to the eastern coast of Trinidad to meet the Soucouyant: the skin-shedding fireball witch of the French Creole Caribbean, who peels off her own skin like a wet dress, folds it into a mortar, and flies through the dark as a ball of hungry fire. We'll follow a young nurse home to Mayaro in 1953 as she comes face to face with something her training can't explain — and with a village deciding, by torchlight, who to blame.   But the real story is stranger, older, and sadder than any campfire version. We trace the Soucouyant back across the Middle Passage to her West African roots in the obayifo and asiman, through her collision with the French loup-garou and the European seed-counting vampire, to her Lowcountry sister the Boo Hag — and into the three-in-the-morning terror that every culture on earth has a name for. Because underneath the fire is a question that never stops burning: is the monster the thing in the sky, or is it what a frightened community will do to the loneliest woman among them, and call it protection?   Scatter your rice. Salt your doorway. And keep your skin on.   Freaky Folklore is part of the Eeriecast Network — find every one of our shows at eeriecast.com.

In a category where production outstrips demand and the end customer cares more about how a room looks than whose logo is on the box, Mauricio Inglada makes a counterintuitive case: the brand that matters most is the one you build with your distribution channel. As VP of Sales & Marketing at Del Conca USA, he walks Jeff and Carman through winning at the channel level — earning distributor trust, removing the fears that quietly kill deals (dead inventory, builder callbacks, the homeowner's permanent regret), and competing against far larger rivals with a small but relentlessly responsive “Navy Sales” team. Along the way: why Pinterest is a secret intent engine and where AI will reshape the buying cycle.

Every coastal people on earth knows the same rule: if something takes you in the water, you swim for shore. The shore is safety. The A-mi-kuk does not care about the shore. Four long arms. No legs. A body of slick, naked hide, like an animal that was skinned and never got the message. It rises up under kayaks off the Alaskan coast and drags men down into the silt. And when you claw your way onto the mud, certain you have survived it, it keeps coming. It swims through solid ground the way it swims through the sea. Under the tundra. Under the ice. Under the floor of your house. This week, Carman goes into the folklore of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, separates the real ethnographic record from a century of cryptid encyclopedias copying each other, and tells the story of two brothers, a fishing net, and a thing that peels its victims out of their own skin. Because the A-mi-kuk was never a story about the sea. It was a story about the fact that the ground is a promise nobody ever actually made you.

A 17-year-old disappeared in Thailand after meeting an Australian man. Less than a day later her body was found inside a suitcase abandoned near railway tracks. In this episode Tim and Xanthe examine the evidence authorities allege they have against Australian man Simon Peter Carman, and how they say they tracked him through an extensive network of CCTV. Carman denies intentionally killing the teenager - Thanchanok Donhomla - claiming he acted in self-defence, and could face the death penalty if convicted under Thai law.

It’s late June 2026, and police in Pattaya, Thailand, are retracing the movements of Australian man Simon Carman through hours of CCTV footage. At first, his day appears unremarkable. He eats breakfast, runs errands and returns to his accommodation before, just after 9pm, quietly leaving through a rear exit with a large suitcase. Security cameras capture Carman riding a rented scooter into the night, the suitcase still in tow, until the footage abruptly ends. When he later reappears on camera, the suitcase is gone. Hours later, police find the body of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla inside the abandoned suitcase. Carman is arrested at the airport and charged with her murder.

When private equity owns the company, the clock is always running — and as Paul Olesh, CEO of Magneto Movement, puts it, everybody has an expiration date. Paul joins Jeff and Carman to explain how that urgency reshapes marketing inside a PE-backed platform: why a long 18-to-30-month sales cycle demands relentless funnel-building, how he holds his acquired brands together under a single Procter & Gamble–style promise, and why he insists marketing isn't truly effective until the purchase order lands. It's a candid CEO's-eye view of building a marketing machine when both time and resources are scarce.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima rip into ESPN's Vincent Goodwill for calling the NBA championship a "participation trophy" given how many different teams have won it lately, with Carman calling the comment asinine and pushing back hard on the idea that parity cheapens a title. The two dig into why the NBA gets treated so differently than football and baseball when it comes to judging stars who haven't won it all, name-checking Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Victor Wembanyama along the way. They also touch on the Cavs' surprising place in the championship conversation despite the recent fan pessimism. Then the conversation pivots hard into the Guardians' rough start to a crucial stretch, with the offense suddenly without two of its top power sources.

Ken Carman pushes back hard on the growing narrative that the James Harden trade was a bust, walking through the numbers and arguing the on-off splits clearly show Harden was a real upgrade over Darius Garland, especially defensively. He and Lima debate what "failure" even means for a team that made a deeper playoff run than anyone expected, and Carman draws a line between not winning a championship and being an outright disaster, pointing to the Knicks' OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges trades as proof narratives can flip fast. The two also touch on Daniel Jeremiah's comparison of Brendan Sorsby to Jaxson Dart before wrapping up ahead of their interview with Cavaliers CMO Chris Kaiser.

Description:If you grew up on Christian music in the '90s, there's a good chance Testify to Love wasn't just a hit song—it was the soundtrack to a season of your life. Three decades after Avalon first released the iconic anthem, Jen sits down with original Avalon member Michael Passons, longtime Avalon vocalist Melissa Greene, and country music star Ty Herndon to talk about the remarkable re-release of a song that has found new meaning for a new generation. But this isn't simply a conversation about music. It's the untold story behind one of CCM's most beloved songs. Michael shares the painful reality of losing his place in Avalon after coming out as gay. Melissa reflects on the faith journey that transformed her understanding of inclusion and belonging. Ty opens up about his own path through addiction, recovery, faith, and finally living fully and truthfully as himself. Together, they revisit the song that connected millions of listeners and explore why its message of love, acceptance, and human dignity feels more relevant now than ever. Filled with laughter, tears, hard-earned wisdom, and more than a few moments that will leave you reaching for the tissues, this conversation is a beautiful testament to friendship, healing, and the courage it takes to live loud. Whether Testify to Love has been on your playlist for thirty years or you're hearing its story for the first time, this episode is a powerful reminder that love's truest testimony is not who it excludes—but who it embraces. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I lost my community, my family, my career, all within a couple of seconds. That's a lot to process.” - Michael Passons "The people I loved and the fullness of their humanity butted up against my theological positions. I had to ask myself: Do I keep creating fences and becoming more exclusive? Or could it be that my views of God, humanity, and the world need to change?" – Melissa Greene "What I've noticed in the lives of people who have allowed themselves to evolve and change their mind is that that process pulls us toward an expansiveness that is just magical." - Jen Hatmaker “You don't live in the church, the church lives in you. You have an opportunity right now to start your own church and decide who sits at your table. No one can kick you out of your own church.” - Ty Herndon Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Avalon - https://www.avalonthegroup.com/ Carman - https://carman.org/ Stephen Curtis Chapman - https://store.stevencurtischapman.com/ Kirk Franklin - https://kirkfranklin.com/ Michael's Instagram Reel - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DY6_JF6BDyO/ Dottie Rambo - https://www.dottierambo.net/ Testify to Love - https://music.apple.com/us/song/testify-to-love-feat-melissa-greene/1893435396 Testify to Love video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7IPvr6b8s Melissa's Links: Website - https://www.melissagreene.net Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melissagreene Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melissagreeneofficial/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQpP8gHH7vew99LcQJs3Og Substack - https://melissagreene.substack.com/p/testify-to-love Michael's Links: Website - https://michaelpassons.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michaelpassons/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/michaelpassonsmusic Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@michaelpassonsmusic TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelpassonsmusic Ty's Links: Website - https://www.tyherndon.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tyherndonofficial/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tyherndonofficial Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialTyHerndon TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tyherndonofficial Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.
