Podcasts about catchers

This week Chris sits down with Jonathan Glick, founder of Incucap and one of the most active fund placement agents in the country. Over his career he's helped place more than $10 billion into real estate funds, and he says raising one has never been harder than it is right now. There are 600 to 1,000 funds chasing a shrinking pool of capital, real estate has lost a decade of ground to private credit, private equity and everything else, and most managers now spend two years raising a single fund. So his advice to almost everyone who calls wanting to start one is simple. Don't. They talk about who he'd actually back out of the 300-plus managers he meets a year, why he says most funds run in the red until their third or fourth one, and how the whole business has slid into a fee game, which changes the incentives dramatically. They get into where he thinks we are in the 18-year real estate cycle, why he believes vacancy is temporary and basis is forever, and the case that the next few years are the best time in over a decade to leave a big firm and build your own platform.

What does a true, unshakeable transformation look like? In this episode, Brother Mike breaks down the dramatic calling and conversion of Simon Peter on the Sea of Galilee. Simon wasn’t just a struggling fisherman; he was part of a highly successful, prosperous fishing conglomerate alongside Andrew, James, and John. Yet, one supernatural encounter changed everything. Through a deep look at the Greek context, Brother Mike explains how Simon moved from seeing Jesus as a mere commander or boss (epistates) to recognizing Him as Lord after witnessing a staggering, boat-sinking miracle. Discover the four-step "perfect method of conversion" modeled by Christ: preach the word, demonstrate the word, open the heart to the Holy Spirit, and fall down broken in true repentance. Brother Mike pulls no punches as he challenges modern "easy come, easy go" evangelical methods, explaining why a repentance-based conversion is the only cure for a backslidden heart. Tune in to find out why miracles are meant to draw you closer to God, and how He always provides for what you leave behind. Scripture & Highlights Mentioned in This Episode The Miraculous Catch: Simon obeys the spoken word (rhema) of Jesus despite a night of empty nets, leading to a historic, boat-sinking haul (Luke 5:1-7). A Broken Repentance: Simon falls at Jesus' knees, hit with the conviction of the Holy Spirit, crying, "Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord" (Luke 5:8-9). Catchers of Men: Jesus eases Simon's fear and calls the partners to a higher ministry, prompting them to forsake all and follow Him (Luke 5:10-11). The Purpose of Signs: Understanding why miracles are given to draw unbelievers near, echoing Paul’s reminder on spiritual signs (1 Corinthians 14:22). Draw Nigh to God: Responding to the conviction of the Spirit to experience a legitimate spiritual rebirth (James 4:8).

Are you an amateur catcher looking to take your game to the professional level? In this episode of the Back Pick Podcast, we sit down with Mariners catching coach Chase Woollenweber to break down the science of elite catching. From mastering the one-knee setup to training for chaos behind the plate, this conversation is a masterclass in modern catching development. Chase shares his journey from division two baseball to coaching in the Mariners organization. He emphasizes the importance of building trust with players and simplifying complex concepts, especially when working with athletes who speak different languages. We dive deep into why catchers shouldn't just be placed on a knee but must be taught how to move and react from that position effectively to avoid the common mistakes seen in amateur ball. A major focus of this discussion is the idea of training for chaos rather than repeatable solutions. Chase explains how he uses specialized tools like the Traject, e-hack machines, and Marv balls to create unpredictable environments that force catchers to adjust in real-time. We also explore the fine details of glove speed, timing, and how to keep strikes as strikes by adopting a pro-level mindset similar to stars like Patrick Bailey. Finally, we touch on the mechanics of blocking and throwing. Chase explains why accuracy is king and how to use trial and error to find the most effective stance for your individual body type. Whether you are a player, coach, or parent, these insights into professional-level training will change the way you look at the position.

A missed field goal saved a man's life?! We break down the unbelievable story involving Younghoe Koo and how one of the worst kicks you'll ever see turned into something way bigger than football. But that's just one piece of a completely unhinged week in sports: • The NCAA is expanding March Madness to 76 teams because apparently we needed more • The NBA playoffs are both overcrowded and somehow still entertaining • The Boston Red Sox hit full panic mode and clean house after a brutal start • Canada's Stanley Cup drought? Yeah… it's probably sticking around • A guy who's never played football gets drafted • A $5M NIL quarterback lands in gambling rehab • Catchers might already be gaming the ABS system • Trevor Bauer's “no-hitter”…we've got some thoughts Plus: Kentucky Derby debates, naming racehorses, Indy 500 vs Waste Management Open vs Derby, beer reviews, and a completely unnecessary cheese discussion. It's chaotic, it's dumb, and it's exactly what sports should be.

Grant discusses how catchers may have the biggest advantage when challenging calls, given their direct view of the strike zone.

Today, we are dropping another episode in our "chats" series, specifically on the Founder side, - hearing from those scaling the companies themselves.In this episode, we are talking with Vadim Dedov, CEO at Catchers. Vadim is going to walk us through what problem he wanted to solve with Catchers, and how his product development journey took him through architectural decisions, product optimization, team building and more.QuestionsBefore we talk about Catchers, I'd love to understand you a bit better.What experiences or responsibilities earlier in your life shaped how you think about work, systems, and accountability today?What problem were you dealing with before Catchers existed? Not as a product idea yet, but as a real operational pain you kept running into.At what point did you realise this couldn't be solved with people, spreadsheets, or manual coordination anymore and that technology was the only way forward?How did Catchers actually start taking shape as a product? What was the very first version you built, and what did “good enough” mean in a business where mistakes affect people's income and compliance?How long did it take to get to something usable, and what constraints defined your MVP?Looking back, what were the most important trade-offs you made early on?Things you consciously postponed or simplified, knowing they might come back later.Let's zoom in on the product itself. What is the core product insight behind Catchers — the thing you believe differentiates it from a typical HR or staffing platform?How did your thinking about architecture evolve as scale increased? Was there a moment when you had to stop moving fast and redesign parts of the system properly?How did you approach building your core team around such a complex, operations-heavy product? What qualities mattered most in the people you trusted with this system?Can you share a decision that didn't go as planned and how you and your team dealt with the consequences?When you step back and look at what you've built today, what are you most proud of not in terms of features, but in terms of reliability, impact, or how the system holds under pressure?As you look ahead, how do automation and AI change the way you think about workforce platforms — and what advice would you give to someone building infrastructure-heavy products today?SponsorsUnblockedBraingrid.ai.TECH DomainsMezmoLinkshttps://catchersjob.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/vadim-dedov-060b8935a/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week we're bringing you a story from our friends at History This Week, a podcast from the History Channel.April 3, 1951. A man who escaped slavery is grabbed off the streets of Boston and thrown into a carriage. He fights back, shouting to the crowd, but it doesn't matter. Under a new federal law, even the North isn't safe.The Fugitive Slave Act has turned cities like Boston into hunting grounds. Freedom seekers are being captured, and ordinary citizens are being forced to help.But across the North, resistance is growing. In Pennsylvania, a man named William Parker is building a network to fight back. When slave catchers come to his door, that resistance explodes into violence.How did one law push the country dramatically closer to war? And what happens when the people targeted by this law refuse to surrender? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
