SUF CPT, SUF STM, SUF NC will help trainers build the streams of revenue, confidence and teams to become successful making over $100,000/ year.Random circuits look creative, but they usually produce one thing fast: tired clients who are not getting stronger. We break down a clean, repeatable way to design small group training programs using movement patterns and a simple circuit template (CCA) that you can run in almost any environment, from a fully equipped gym like Lifetime or Equinox to a smaller studio with limited stations. If you coach personal training and want better flow, better progressions, and fewer “what do I do next?” moments, this is your playbook.We talk through how to build full body strength sessions even when clients think they only want glutes, abs, or arms. The secret is pairing core lifts with accessories that do not steal force production from the main pattern. You will hear practical examples for groups of three where everyone shares the same squat, pull, and plank patterns, plus ways to swap variations when you do not have enough racks or pull-up bars. We also cover rotating stations, where the coaching focus goes, and how to keep accessories engaging without turning the workout into a circus.Then we get honest about a common mistake in small group fitness classes: mixing heavy lifting with early cardio. When conditioning comes first, strength output drops, loads drop, and results slow down. We explain how to place jumps and power work for fast twitch recruitment, when to save cardio for a game or a finisher, and how to make five-person circuits work without compromising performance. Finally, we zoom out to programming systems like progressive overload, simple testing on day one and day 30, and monthly templates that help clients chase PRs and stay bought in.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with a trainer friend, and leave a review with your biggest small group training challenge so we can tackle it next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

10PCT Episode #90This is an interview recorded as part of my research for Twenty Years at War - the second part of my series of coffee table books on the F-15E Strike Eagle: https://www.10percenttrue.com/product-page/tyaw-pre-orderFour F-15E veterans — “Deuce” Cooper, “Funkle” Esler, “NAILS” Ashmore and “Leroy” Domberg — reunite to discuss Operation Odyssey Dawn and the opening phase of the Libya air war in 2011. What begins as a discussion about Libya quickly becomes a broader conversation about the Strike Eagle community's transition from the highly restrictive, JTAC-driven wars in Iraq and Afghanistan back to dynamic targeting, SCAR, coalition strike operations and independent decision-making. The group recounts the rapid deployment from RAF Lakenheath, the uncertainty surrounding Libyan air defences, the first night over Benghazi, the loss of BOLAR 34, the evolution of tactics during the campaign, and the lessons that would later shape operations against ISIS and beyond. Along the way they discuss mission planning, coalition integration, the value of the two-seat cockpit, targeting pods, radar development, CCA concepts and the future of the Strike Eagle.

Three-cornered alfalfa hopper (TCAH) is the only confirmed insect vector of grapevine red blotch virus in Vitis vinifera, yet many growers first realize they have the pest only after spotting petiole girdling in the vineyard. Cindy Kron, North Coast IPM Advisor at UC ANR, shares findings from two years of weekly sweep-net monitoring at Oakville Research Station that revealed TCAH adults are present well before bud break, suggesting grapevines are not their preferred host. She explains the insect's life stages, why legumes serve as key feeding and reproductive hosts, and why detecting early instars remains a major challenge for vineyard IPM. Cindy also discusses how degree-day models may help growers better time tillage to reduce TCAH populations and limit grapevine red blotch risk.  Resources:   71: New Techniques to Detect Grapevine Leafroll Disease 131: Virus Detection in Grapevines Can a pesky treehopper be foiled because its growth is regulated by temperature?  Cindy Kron How to use a model for reduction of three-cornered alfalfa hopper in vineyards Identification of Nonhost Cover Crops of the Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hopper (Spissistilus festinus)  Use of Ground Covers to Control Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hopper, Spissistilus festinus (Hemiptera: Membracidae), and Other Suspected Vectors of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus Weather Models and Degree Days  Support the Podcast:  Make a Donation  Vineyard Team Programs:  Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship - Help students from vineyard families pursue higher education Online Courses - Earn DPR and CCA hours with expert-led sustainability trainings SIP Certified - A trusted third-party certification proving your sustainable practices with science-backed standards Sustainable Ag Expo - Join top experts at the premier winegrowing event of the year Vineyard Team Membership - Connect with a community advancing sustainable winegrowing

By Doug Green “We're a partner-first company. It is in our DNA,” says Patrick Sheehan, Vice President of Channel Development and Distribution at Intermedia. In this episode of Technology Reseller News, recorded for the CCA community, I spoke with Patrick Sheehan, Vice President of Channel Development and Distribution at Intermedia, about a new approach to helping channel partners grow recurring revenue while reducing operational complexity. Intermedia describes itself as an intelligent cloud communications provider, bringing voice, video, messaging, contact center, collaboration and related services into one seamless, AI-powered platform. Sheehan noted that Intermedia supports thousands of partners and more than 150,000 businesses, with a strong focus on helping partners look good and keeping customers happy. The central topic of the conversation was Intermedia's Co-Op Partner Model, a program designed for partners who want to retain control over customer relationships and pricing, while Intermedia handles many of the back-end operational burdens that can slow growth. For many partners, cloud communications, AI, Microsoft Teams integration, and contact center services represent significant opportunities. But traditional models can also add complexity to billing, taxation, collections, support and administration. The Co-Op model is designed to remove much of that friction. With Co-Op, partners can maintain ownership of the customer relationship while Intermedia provides the operational infrastructure behind the scenes. That allows partners to focus on selling, serving customers and expanding existing accounts into new recurring revenue streams, with the potential to earn up to 2X more in profit compared to traditional models. Sheehan also discussed where partners may be leaving money on the table. Existing customer relationships often contain opportunities for voice, collaboration, AI-enabled communications, customer experience tools and Microsoft Teams-related services. By simplifying the path to offer those services, Intermedia is encouraging partners to revisit accounts they already know well. The conversation also covered Intermedia's broader partner-first strategy, including its focus on customer service, technical support and reliability. Sheehan highlighted Intermedia's ninth consecutive J.D. Power recognition for assisted technical support, along with the company's financially backed 99.999% uptime service-level agreement. For partners that have not engaged with Intermedia recently, Sheehan's message was direct: the opportunity has changed. Cloud communications is no longer just about replacing phone systems. It is about helping customers modernize communications, improve customer experience, adopt AI-enabled tools and create more flexible ways to work. The Co-Op model gives partners another way to participate in that opportunity without having to rebuild their own operations. Learn more about becoming an Intermedia partner.

In this episode of CCA on the Air, Midwest Region Alliance Engagement Director Nichole Mann takes listeners inside Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) in Cleveland, Ohio, for a conversation that came straight out of CCA's Complete College Photo Library project. She sits down with Dr. Connie Kassor, Chair of the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Humanities Center and Mandel Scholars Academy, and Morgan Dillard, a Tri-C theater student and Mandel Scholar, to talk about what it really looks like when a program gets belonging right. Dr. Kassor breaks down how the academy's cohort model, humanities curriculum, and "Cleadership" activities build community, drive persistence, and connect students to the city they call home. Morgan offers her own powerful perspective, tracing her path from discovering the program through TRIO, to acing honors courses she never thought she'd take, to earning a spot in the Continuing Scholars program with a potential full scholarship to Cleveland State's Honors College on the horizon. Don't sleep on community colleges. Don't sleep on the humanities. This episode makes the case for both.

iotum named the only Canadian key CPaaS provider by S&P Global on its worldwide list of 25 platforms as company, Helping UCaaS Providers Punch Above Their Weight with CPaaS, AI and Branded Communications, Podcast By Doug Green “Let us worry about it. Let the product people do what we're good at, and you can service your customers.” iotum has been named by S&P Global as the only Canadian key CPaaS provider on its worldwide list of 25 platforms, a recognition that comes as the company is launching a new softphone for UCaaS resellers. In this CCA podcast, I spoke with Jason Martin, CEO of iotum, about what the recognition means, how iotum is helping UCaaS providers expand their offerings, and why CPaaS, AI and branded communications are becoming more important to the next phase of the channel. The conversation centered on a familiar challenge in the communications market: many providers began as PBX companies, moved into UCaaS, and then continued adding services as customer expectations changed. Today, customers want messaging, video, branded applications, automation and AI-enabled communications experiences. For many resellers, the question is how to deliver those capabilities without having to build everything themselves. Martin said iotum is helping providers solve that problem through CPaaS capabilities and through its role in the Crexendo and NetSapiens ecosystem. For Crexendo partners, he said iotum can provide services that allow resellers to “punch above their weight,” offering advanced capabilities under their own brand. Those capabilities include A2P messaging, video and a new softphone that is becoming popular with NetSapiens users. The model is designed to let channel partners stay focused on customer relationships, while iotum handles the product and platform work behind the scenes. That is an important distinction. In a market where customers increasingly expect integrated communications experiences, smaller providers often need access to enterprise-grade tools without taking on the cost and complexity of developing them internally. iotum's approach gives those providers a way to extend their offerings while maintaining their own brand identity. The S&P Global recognition also points to a larger trend. CPaaS is no longer simply an enterprise developer category. It is becoming a practical way for UCaaS providers, resellers and channel partners to add communications capabilities that can be branded, integrated and delivered as part of a broader customer relationship. Martin also discussed how the communications industry is being shaped by regulation, global market changes and AI. iotum operates in highly regulated environments, including the U.S., Canada and Europe, and Martin noted that providers have to think carefully about compliance, customer trust and the requirements of different markets. Looking ahead, Martin said agentic AI will be “massive,” but he framed the opportunity in practical terms. Rather than replacing human communication, he sees AI adding to what communications providers already do. For iotum, that means an API-focused future in which AI agents can use communications tools to help people connect, collaborate and get work done. That point matters for service providers. As AI becomes more embedded in communications, the opportunity will not simply be to sell another feature. The larger opportunity will be to connect AI, voice, messaging, video and customer workflows in a way that helps businesses communicate more effectively. For channel partners, the message is clear: the next phase of cloud communications will reward providers that can combine trusted customer relationships with new technical capabilities. iotum is positioning itself as one of the companies helping partners make that jump.

SHOWUP20 for 20% off Prehab Guys exercise library for training clients in pain w/ the CCA program. Shoulder pain is everywhere in fitness, and the fastest way to lose trust is to improvise “rehab” when you should be screening, referring, and coordinating care. We walk through what it looks like to stay in your lane as a personal trainer while still delivering real value for clients dealing with shoulder pain, past shoulder surgery, or limited overhead range of motion. If you want a practical playbook for training around pain without pretending to be a clinician, this conversation is built for you.We share how we think about shoulder screens, what movement checks help us decide whether training is appropriate, and why a strong relationship with a physical therapist changes everything. You'll hear a real-world handoff example of an older client with a complicated shoulder history, plus how we communicate so the client is supported instead of bounced between opinions. We also talk candidly about professionalism, pricing, and why skilled training paired with PT collaboration is worth more than generic workouts.Then we get tactical: how we use a prehab exercise library to choose smart correctives, how we assign simple homework, and how we build a shoulder-friendly circuit template that progresses from easier to harder work. We cover push-up regressions, rowing choices like bands and TRX, a more shoulder-friendly split stance overhead press, and how to swap movements quickly when something flares up. You'll leave with clearer programming principles for shoulder health, rotator cuff tolerance, scapular control, and strength training that respects pain signals.If this helped, subscribe, share it with a trainer friend, and leave a quick review so more coaches learn how to train shoulders safely.

By Doug Green “Deterministic is more black and white, and we feel that it's a much better approach, not only from a scalability and cost perspective, but also it has a lot greater efficacy.”  In this CCA podcast, I spoke with Gerry Christensen, associate founder of ICA AI, about the company's approach to AI-driven communications and the growing interest it is seeing following the MVNO show in Miami. The conversation offered a useful look at how ICA AI is positioning itself in a crowded AI market by focusing on a more structured and predictable model for communications technology. Christensen began by explaining that ICA stands for Intelligent Communications Assistant. At its core, ICA AI is a technology and infrastructure company applying AI to communications in a way that is designed to be practical, scalable, and dependable. Rather than leaning on the probabilistic models that dominate much of today's AI conversation, Christensen said the company is focused on deterministic AI. That distinction is central to ICA AI's message. Christensen described deterministic AI as more “black and white,” arguing that it provides clearer and more reliable outcomes than systems based primarily on probabilities. In his view, that creates important advantages not only in cost and scalability, but also in overall effectiveness. For communications environments, where trust and accuracy matter, that difference can be significant. The point becomes even more relevant in industry verticals where privacy and security are essential. Christensen cited areas such as financial services and healthcare, where organizations need communications technologies that can operate with a higher degree of certainty and control. In those settings, AI is not simply about automation or novelty. It must support real business processes while meeting serious operational and compliance expectations. The discussion also reflected growing market interest in ICA AI's approach. Coming out of the MVNO show in Miami, Christensen suggested that the company is seeing momentum as service providers and industry participants look for practical AI solutions that fit within real telecom infrastructure. That is an important signal in a market that is still working to separate useful, deployable AI from broader hype. What makes ICA AI's story worth watching is that it points to a different framing for AI in telecom. The opportunity is not just to make systems more automated. It is to make communications systems more trusted, more predictable, and better aligned with the requirements of industries where errors and ambiguity carry real consequences. This podcast continues an important conversation about where AI is headed in telecom and why the next phase may be defined less by flashy claims and more by dependable outcomes.

Dave Crysler unpacks why most change initiatives die on the shop floor and the sequence that makes them actually stick. Most rollouts answer one of three questions, sometimes two. Almost never all three, in the right order. Why, What, and How aren't just questions to cover in a kickoff deck. They're a non-negotiable sequence, and most leaders run them backwards. In this solo episode, Dave breaks down the failure mode he sees every week: a trained team that reverts in six weeks, a leader who assumes resistance, and a rollout that started with How and never circled back to Why. He walks through what each layer of the sequence actually requires on the floor, and what to do Monday morning if you've already rolled something out that didn't stick. What You'll Discover: • Why leaders consistently default to How and skip the first two questions, and the leadership-perspective trap underneath that pattern • What the Why actually sounds like when it's done well, including a real example from a $100M services business facing an AI-driven survival window • Why the What isn't the description of the new process, it's the answer to "what about me" from the operator's perspective • How to build the How with the people who have to live in it, instead of handing it down, anchored in a recent LinkedIn post that nailed the move • Why skipping Why turns the What into a mandate, and skipping What turns the How into a punishment • The exact admission script to use when you need to re-anchor a rollout that's already off the rails • Where this sequence fits with Clarity, Consistency, Accountability, and why CCA is the universal diagnostic but Why/What/How is the change-specific instrument If you've ever watched a well-trained team revert to the old way six weeks after launch, this is the episode. The fix isn't more training. It's running the rollout in the right order.

Enter the 8 core movement patterns and the CCA within the SUF CPT.Most training plans fall apart for one simple reason: they're built on random exercises instead of a clear movement system. We walk through the eight core movement patterns we use to coach real people and to get consistent results, whether you're training general population clients, athletes, or yourself. You'll hear how we think about vertical push and vertical pull, horizontal push and horizontal pull, unilateral work, squats, hinges, and transitional patterns so every exercise has a job and every progression is earned.We get specific on the “why” behind common lifts: which muscles drive each pattern, what joint actions matter, and where coaches usually go wrong. We talk shoulder-friendly pressing choices like the landmine press when overhead range is limited, why eccentrics are a cheat code for building pull-ups, and how too much fixed-scapula pressing can sneakily beat up shoulder health. On the lower-body side, we lay out practical progressions for step-ups, lunges, squats, and hinge work, plus the mistakes that turn a hinge into a quad-dominant pattern.We also hit two topics that every trainer needs in their toolbox: breathing mechanics and pain myths. If someone can't run well, sprinting volume has to match tissue capacity. And “deadlifts are bad for your back” misses the real issue: mechanics, progression, and exposure over time.To tie it all together, we share a simple CCA programming template that's plug-and-play for full-body training with a push emphasis or lower-body emphasis, plus how we use accessories to keep sessions fun without compromising force production. Subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a review. What movement pattern do you need to coach better next?Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

ISACA has stepped into a defining role in the CMMC ecosystem, taking over as the CMMC Assessor and Instructor Certification Organization -- the CAICO -- for the U.S. Department of War's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program. Recorded live at RSAC Conference 2026, this conversation with Todd Gagnon, the Director of the CAICO at ISACA, gets right to the heart of what that means for cybersecurity professionals, defense contractors, and anyone thinking about where their career intersects with the defense industrial base. The CMMC program exists to solve a persistent problem: too many companies doing business with the federal government had failed to properly implement required cybersecurity controls. Built around NIST 800-171's 110 security requirements, CMMC demands third-party, independent verification -- and that means a large, trained, credentialed assessor workforce. ISACA's role is to build and certify exactly that. Todd Gagnon walks through the two foundational credentials at the center of this effort: the CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) as the entry point, and the CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) as the operational core. With roughly 800 credentialed professionals in the current ecosystem against a need measured in thousands, the stakes and the urgency are clear. What makes this conversation practically useful is the range of people it speaks to. Gagnon lays out who should be thinking about a CCP -- including professionals early in their careers and organizations that want internal staff who truly understand the CMMC framework, not just outside consultants. He explains the C3PAO model, how subcontractor compliance flows through the ecosystem, and why NIST 800-171 is a strong cybersecurity foundation regardless of whether an organization ever touches a government contract. The certification pathway is open to non-ISACA members, the CCP is designed to be accessible, and the knowledge transfers well beyond the federal contracting context. ISACA is also moving ahead of the curve: with NIST having released Revision 3 of 800-171, ISACA is already developing training content for the transition -- targeting late 2025 delivery so that a wave of Revision 3-ready professionals will be in place when the Department of War makes the regulatory shift. Todd Gagnon closes with a candid ask for patience as the April 1st transition from Cyber AB to ISACA takes effect, along with a clear statement of intent: the credentials issued under ISACA's watch should stand for something.

Christensen: A Mormon Visionary, coauthored Picturing Christ: Understanding Depictions of Jesus in History and Art, and coedited Approaching the Tree: Interpreting 1 Nephi 8. She hosted the limited-series podcasts Latter-day Saint Art and Behold: Conversations on Book of Mormon Art. Jenny earned a BA in international politics from Brigham Young University (2004) and an MA in art history from Boston University (2006). She lives in Colorado with her husband and three children. C. C. A. Christensen: A Mormon Visionary (University of Illinois Press; Amazon) Related work I've published: “‘In Their Promised Canaan Stand:' Outlawry, Landscape, and Memory in C. C. A. Christensen's Mormon Panorama,” BYU Studies Quarterly 60, no. 2 (2021). Highlights about C. C. A. Christensen: 1. C. C. A. Christensen was born to a poor family in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1831. As a youth, he lived and studied at a poor house boarding school, before taking classes at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. 2. While he was an art student, the first Latter-day Saint missionaries arrived in Copenhagen. C. C. A. joined the Church in 1850. He threw himself into the work of learning the Gospel, reading the Book of Mormon, helping with Danish translations of hymns, helping his mother and brothers immigrate to Utah, and then serving a mission in Scandinavia before immigrating himself. His art training and career took a back seat to his religious commitments. 3. C. C. A. served three missions in Scandinavia. The first, in Norway, was from 1853 to 1857. He faced religious persecution and was jailed. Christensen returned from Utah to serve a second mission in Scandinavia from 1865 to 1868. He returned again to serve in Denmark from 1887 to 1889. 4. C. C. A. married Elise Haarby on the ship as they set off for Utah in 1857. They traveled across the plains as handcart pioneers. He later took a second wife, Maren Pettersen, in 1868. He had a total of 14 children, 12 of which lived to adulthood. 5. C. C. A. was the most prolific 19 th -century artist of Latter-day Saint history and scripture. He combined his European art training with Latter-day Saint beliefs and subjects. He also wrote extensively. He published poetry, essays, and letters to the editor. He helped write a history of the Scandinavian Mission. And yet, his work is not well known today. 6. The Mormon Panorama was a massive painted scroll detailing 23 scenes of early Mormon history. In the last quarter of the 19 th century, CCA and some of his family traveled around Utah cities in the winters giving presentations of the Mormon Panorama. It helped solidify the Saints' understanding of their history. 7. In 1886, Church leaders hired CCA to paint the creation room mural in the Manti Temple. It was recently restored and is still there today. 8. In 1890, C. C. A. won a contest to illustrate a Church flipchart on the life of Nephi. These 10 images were distributed by the Deseret Sunday School Union. 9. Christensen was fully dedicated to living his beliefs, often at great personal cost. The post C. C. A. Christensen with Jenny Champoux appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

Rising electricity rates across the country are adding pressure to families and businesses already dealing with inflation in other aspects of their lives. Most Americans get their power from a utility that needs to turn a profit for its investors. And people are fed up with the status quo. “Across the country, the utilities have just gotten greedy and are asking for more than they need,” says Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes.  Some communities are considering cutting out the profit motive for utilities, taking on the complicated and expensive prospect of moving to public power. But switching from an investor-owned utility to public power is an uphill battle. What are other strategies for reining in corporate greed and making electricity more affordable?
