Brendan! is calling for a Victory Friday for the city (or town?) of Cleveland following Andrew Bailey's win at the U.S. Mid-Am! BP is joined by PJ for a brief intro to this Friday show covering the Mid-Am final, early PGA Tour action in Utah, and Pete Crow-Armstrong's struggles in a two-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs. Brendan then brings on Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal for a look at the "Business Season" of professional golf. The two discuss a variety of topics including what's next for the PGA Tour's media rights deals, the continued search for sponsors for Championship and Challenger series events, and whether FedEx is really gone for good following the 2027 season. Josh also hits on the recent wave of executive departures from the LPGA and the league's struggles to build a television audience. We'll return on Monday with a full recap of a loaded week of Silly Season golf (and probably Sunday's Jets at Bears matchup). Get yourself suited up for those final rounds of the year.

Challenger safety, not IQ, is the real ceiling on your team's decisions.Dr. Tim Clark and Junior explain why your team thinks only as well as it's allowed to disagree, and why that matters more now that AI is involved. Critical thinking is being outsourced faster than it's being replaced, producing fluent answers nobody can defend because nobody pushed back. Falling execution costs mean bad decisions compound into real consequences faster than ever, blurring the line between reversible and irreversible calls. Drawing on research showing 37% of failed decisions trace back to teams grabbing the first ready-made idea instead of surfacing alternatives, Tim and Junior make the case that smarter individuals aren't the fix. What matters is an environment where private opinions become public ones. They close with the practical leadership mechanism: model dissent, reward the people who offer it, and routinely ask, "How are we misframing this?"

Following the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle disasters, the government had to rethink space exploration. In 2006, NASA launched the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, allocating $500 million to encourage American entrepreneurs to develop cost-effective cargo and crew transport for the ISS. Today, private enterprises like SpaceX, Starlink, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab are ubiquitous. Yet none of this progress would be possible without substantial government assistance.Joining us is Casey Dreier, Chief of Space Policy at The Planetary Society and one of the world's foremost experts on NASA's budget and the political economy of space exploration. His data-driven analysis has been cited by The New York Times, POLITICO, The Washington Post, and NPR, and in 2025 he received a SpaceNews Icon Award for his work. Casey joins us to unpack what the data actually shows about the tradeoffs of commercial spaceflight — and what's at stake if the government cedes too much control.The government gets a bad rap. But the roads under your feet, the forecast on your phone, and the letter in your mailbox are all government too. Hosted by Professors Greg Jackson and Lindsey Cormack, Government That Doesn't Suck is a seriously researched, fact-driven podcast examining the dreams, machinery, and real-world impact behind American government, one episode at a time.

Something is coming, and I am not ready. That thought shows up at the gas pump, in the war headlines, and in the backseat question about whether robots are taking over. In this episode of The Thought Vault, I go straight into the rabbit hole I have been in for three years now. Oil, the Strait of Hormuz, recession forecasts that contradict each other, AI layoff numbers that say two opposite things at once, super intelligence, and whether my kids will even learn to drive.Then I take all of it to Scripture. Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun. Jesus, asked about the end of the world, opens with a warning about deception and a command not to be alarmed. And Joseph, handed seven years of warning, does not build a bunker.This is a Sanctified and Skeptical episode. Faith at the foundation. Curiosity about everything else.In this episode* What the data actually says about oil, gas, recession odds, and AI layoffs, and why the people paid to know do not agree* How economic numbers get weighted, and why two unemployment rates can both be “true”* Why the Luddites in 1811, Keynes in 1930, and an automation memo to the President in 1964 all sound like this morning* C.S. Lewis on living in an atomic age, and the line about frightened sheep* The two commands Jesus gives in one breath in Matthew 24* The Headline Test, three questions for any alarming story* Joseph in Genesis 41, and why preparation became generosity instead of a bunker* Three practical responses for a season you cannot predictTimestamps* 00:00 Something Is Coming* 00:43 Pharaoh's Troubling Dream* 01:34 Welcome to Thought Vault* 02:47 Bubble vs Bunker* 05:11 War, Oil, and Prices* 06:33 Recession Signals and Confusion* 08:03 AI, Jobs, and Data Fog* 11:03 Kids, College, and Driving* 14:23 Nothing New Under the Sun* 18:56 Jesus: Stay Alert, Don't Panic* 20:22 The Headline Test* 22:58 Joseph Stores for Famine* 24:57 Cast Bread, Keep Sowing* 26:43 Three Practical Responses* 28:35 Final Charge: Plant AnywayThe Headline TestThree questions to ask before an alarming headline gets into your nervous system:* What does this source want me to feel, and who benefits if I feel it?* If this is completely true, what would I actually do differently this week? If the answer is nothing, put it down.* What has God already said about this?Three practical responses* Test what you take in. Put a fence around the news. Pick a time, pick your sources, and stop letting the feed pick them for you.* Store in the good years. Time, energy, relationships, skills, money. Steward it the way Joseph did, steadily, before you need it.* Keep planting. Have the conversation. Start the project. Give generously. A seed planted in an uncertain year is still a seed.Scripture referenced* Genesis 41:8, 41:16, 41:57 (Pharaoh's dream and Joseph's storehouse)* Ecclesiastes 1:9 (nothing new under the sun)* Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 (cast your bread upon the waters, sow in the morning)* Isaiah 46:9-10 (declaring the end from the beginning)* Matthew 24:4-6 (see that no one leads you astray, see that you are not alarmed)* Romans 12:2 (the renewing of your mind)Subscribe free. This week's Bold Life article goes after the inside version of this, the loop in your own head that keeps you watching instead of planting. It is free to read, and subscribing is where this conversation keeps going between episodes.The Book Club is back, and it is for paid subscribers. Starting Monday, October 5, we are reading Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund together in the private community. It is a book about the heart of Christ toward people who are still in process.

Le 6 avril 1984, la navette spatiale Challenger décolle pour la mission STS-41C. À son bord se trouvent cinq astronautes, plusieurs expériences scientifiques… et environ 3 300 abeilles. Leur présence n'a rien d'une fantaisie : les chercheurs veulent répondre à une question étonnante. Les abeilles sont-elles capables de construire leurs célèbres alvéoles en l'absence de pesanteur ?L'expérience est née dans le cadre d'un programme éducatif de la NASA. Elle avait été proposée par un étudiant américain, Dan Poskevich, et portait officiellement sur la comparaison des rayons construits par des abeilles sur Terre et dans l'espace.Pourquoi cette question intéressait-elle les scientifiques ?Sur Terre, les abeilles construisent des rayons composés de cellules hexagonales extrêmement régulières. Mais la gravité fournit en permanence une direction : le haut et le bas. On pouvait donc se demander si les abeilles utilisaient cette information pour s'orienter et donner à leur construction sa forme caractéristique.Les insectes furent enfermés dans un module spécialement conçu, installé dans la partie habitable de Challenger. Une reine se trouvait avec les ouvrières, tandis qu'une colonie comparable restait sur Terre afin de servir de groupe témoin.Les premiers instants furent quelque peu chaotiques. En apesanteur, les abeilles ne pouvaient évidemment plus voler de la même manière : sans poids, leur façon de contrôler leurs déplacements était profondément perturbée.Mais elles s'adaptèrent remarquablement vite.Au cours de la mission, qui dura près de sept jours, les abeilles commencèrent à construire un rayon. Et à la surprise des chercheurs, celui-ci ressemblait largement à un rayon normal. Selon le rapport de l'expérience, elles produisirent environ 30 pouces carrés de rayon, soit près de 200 cm², et la reine pondit 35 œufs.Les astronautes constatèrent également que les abeilles avaient progressivement appris à se déplacer dans l'environnement en apesanteur. Elles pouvaient marcher, flotter et même se déplacer en vol dans le module.Cette expérience révélait donc quelque chose de fascinant : la capacité des abeilles à construire des structures régulières ne dépend pas entièrement de la gravité. Une grande partie de leur comportement repose sur des mécanismes biologiques innés et sur d'autres repères sensoriels.L'expérience avait aussi un intérêt plus général. Si l'humanité devait un jour vivre durablement dans l'espace, il faudrait comprendre comment les animaux, les plantes et les écosystèmes réagissent à la microgravité.En 1984, 3 300 petites passagères de Challenger contribuaient déjà à répondre à cette immense question.

The discussion traces how bonus structures, unrealistic targets, and "green" dashboards (99.4% on-time closure, later revealed as closer to 60%) pushed the lie from front-line workers up through management, with middle managers who once flagged the problem later normalizing it once promoted. As David Provan puts it, quoting the paper: "If you put workers in a position where it's very difficult, if not impossible, to meet the target, then organizations cannot be surprised if this results in gaming." The episode closes with five practical takeaways for auditing your own organization's incentive structures.Discussion Points:(00:00) The paper – a case of collective lying(05:06) Pge and the dial before you dig background(08:16) The whistleblower and 110 million dollars in fines(12:44) Four types of lies and why organizations breed lying(24:19) The gas leak bonus scandal(28:09) When 99 percent on time hides the real number(33:59) How middle managers become senior managers and keep lying(40:34) You cannot blame workers for impossible targets(47:15) Practical takeaways for safety leadersLike and follow, send us your comments and suggestions for future show topics!

In this podcast, Ricardo explains the normalization of deviance: repeated small failures that, because they cause no immediate consequences, become accepted as normal. Drawing on Diane Vaughan's studies of the Challenger disaster, he shows how delays, skipped tests, recurring risks, and postponed meetings can make problems invisible. To avoid this trap, he recommends examining trends instead of isolated events, establishing rules before pressure arises, and documenting exceptions with an owner and an end date. He also stresses the importance of protecting people who challenge improper practices and listening to outsiders or newcomers, who can notice deviations the team has normalized. Ricardo invites listeners to review their status report and ask when a problem became considered normal within the project team. Listen to the podcast to learn more!
Fresh out of the studio, Jon Russell from Asia Tech Review and executive director at Ellerton & Co., returns to trace how Chinese AI crossed from technological challenger into a commercial industry and a geopolitical export model. He unpacks the first public earnings from Z.ai and MiniMax, where revenue growth above 300% still cannot explain the valuations, and why cutthroat domestic competition makes international expansion existential for Chinese labs. Bernard and Jon examine the hidden on-premises market, the sovereignty stacks forming in Europe and Asia, why the copying narrative around distillation collapses under scrutiny, and China's remaining bottleneck in lithography. Jon closes on what he calls the dome: an AI ecosystem now self-sufficient from technology through to capital."The really impressive thing isn't just that China's building its own tech stack. It's that—it's so integrated. Companies are going public, they're raising money. It's entirely self-sufficient from the technology to the financing side too, right? So I think that's the really crazy bit for me. It's not like they have to build these companies and at some point they have to go public in America, right? They can do this all now in China and Hong Kong. But that's the ultimate thing, right? Capital is what these companies need, and if they can also get that from China too, then that completes the system. So it's almost like a dome has now got on top, right? Everything's in there." - Jon RussellProfile: Jon Russell from Asia Tech Review and executive director at Ellerton & Co LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmarussell/Newsletter: https://www.asiatechreview.com/Episode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Jon Russell[01:30] Introduction: Jon Russell[04:00] Chinese CEOs step onto the stage themselves [06:30] Has China AI crossed from challenger to industry?

Neste podcast Ricardo explica a normalização do desvio: pequenas falhas repetidas que, por não causarem consequências imediatas, passam a ser aceitas como normais. Inspirado nos estudos de Diane Vaughan sobre o acidente do Challenger, ele mostra como atrasos, testes ignorados, riscos recorrentes e reuniões adiadas podem tornar problemas invisíveis nos projetos. Para evitar essa armadilha, recomenda-se observar tendências e não apenas ocorrências isoladas; definir regras antes que surjam pressões; e registrar exceções com responsável e prazo. Também destaca a importância de proteger quem questiona práticas inadequadas e ouvir pessoas externas ou recém-chegadas, capazes de perceber desvios já naturalizados pela equipe. Ricardo propõe revisar o último relatório de status e perguntar quando uma situação incorreta passou a ser considerada normal pela equipe. Escute o podcast para saber mais!
El anuncio de la solución de uno de los siete Problemas del Milenio empleando la IA, ha revolucionado el campo de las matemáticas. Open AI consiguió en 88 horas lo que no han logrado los matemáticos en más de doscientos años. Y se abre un debate sobre atribución de ideas, la formación de los jóvenes matemáticos, el acceso a estas herramientas o la posible competencia entre las empresas tecnológicas y la universidad. La solución de las ecuaciones de Navier Stokes ha sido posible gracias a las investigaciones previas de Diego Córdoba (ICMAT) y Luis Martínez Zoroa (CUNEF Universidad), que hoy nos acompañan en el estudio. Con Carolina Royo e Isidoro Laguna –investigadora y responsable de comunicación del Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino, hemos conocido un estudio internacional que reconstruye los orígenes y la evolución de la viticultura en la península ibérica a partir del análisis de semillas arqueológicas y ADN de 3.000 años de antigüedad. Jesús Pérez Gil nos ha hablado de cómo los biofísicos le han echado imaginación para crear un “origami biológico” que, en lugar de papel, emplea ADN para crear figuritas del tamaño y forma deseados con aplicaciones en nanotecnología. Con José Manuel Torralba hemos recordado los accidentes de los transbordadores Challenger y Columbia y como la NASA cambió los protocolos de seguridad para dar más importancia a la opinión de los ingenieros en el desarrollo de las misiones y programas espaciales. María Jesús Álvarez nos ha informado del hallazgo en Teruel del primer diplodocus encontrado fuera de Norteamérica. Los fósiles proceden del yacimiento turolense de El Castellar y fueron analizados por un equipo de paleontólogos de la Fundación Teruel-Dinópolis.

This week we will be talking with Carl McNair, brother of the late Dr. Ronald McNair, NASA astronaut and Lake City, South Carolina, native. Ron McNair's story is told in the four-part series, Once Upon a Time in Space, currently streaming on PBS and ETV Passport.Ron McNair's story is singular: he grew up in a segregated South Carolina and went on to earn a PHD in physics. With the beginning of space shuttle program, NASA chose 35 applicants from a pool of over 10,000 astronaut candidates. In 1984 he became the second African American in space. Though he lost his life in the Challenger disaster in 1986, his story continues to inspire generations of young South Carolinians who want to reach for the stars.

The status quo isn't just holding steady, it's fighting back with new tools. Jen Allen Knuth, sales strategist and former Challenger executive, joins Mark Hunter for a revealing dive into why "build versus buy" decisions are now derailing deals across industries. Jen pulls back the curtain on the hidden pressures modern executives feel and warns sellers about the rising threat of in-house alternatives powered by AI. Together, they probe what's broken in current prospecting tactics and debate the real dangers of relying on intent signals that leave reps stuck in endless bidding wars. Today's episode challenges sales leaders to rethink how they create value, nurture genuine relationships, and break free from the noisy, product-first approach.
Bombardier and global aerospace manufacturing, air traffic controller criticism of the FAA, boom refueling for RAF tankers, airport gate access for people without tickets, restricting beverage service after pushback, and an OzDesk report. Aviation News Trump's Call for Bombardier Ban Draws Opposition In a social media post, the President threatened to ban Bombardier's business jet sales in the United States. Canadian aerospace manufacturer Bombardier Aviation is a subsidiary of Bombardier Inc. and produces the Challenger 3500 and 650, and the Global 5500, 6500, and 8000. The company reportedly delivered 157 aircraft in 2025 and is expecting the same in 2026. Global 6500, courtesy Bombardier. Bombardier performs final assembly in Canada. Wings are manufactured in Red Oak, Texas, and flight control components come from the Los Angeles/Van Nuys, California area. A newer component-manufacturing plant is located in Moorpark, California. Wichita, Kansas, is Bombardier’s U.S. headquarters and houses Bombardier’s flight test center plus a large service and Bombardier Defense operation. Bombardier says they currently employ 3,500 people in the U.S., spread across more than 20 states. They are currently actively recruiting to fill 500 open U.S. positions. According to Bombardier, the company has engineering, supply chain, defense, and support roles in states including Arizona, Florida, Connecticut, Illinois, Delaware, Washington, D.C., and New Jersey. The company recently said it has about 2,800 U.S. suppliers across 47 states and $2.5B in annual American purchasing. See also: A U.S. ban on Bombardier sales could ‘massively' disrupt American aerospace Air traffic controllers turn on FAA chief as tensions boil over In August, the Washington Examiner published an interview with FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford titled, Trump administration races to overhaul America's air traffic control system by 2028. After the article was published, more than 400 air traffic controllers “have privately reached out to the publication… and warned that the nation's aviation system has reached a breaking point.” Controllers said the FAA was being treated “like a corporate balance sheet by trying to squeeze out every ounce of productivity from controllers.” Congress previously approved and funded a compensation package, but Bedford admitted that the FAA is withholding a 2.8% retroactive raise. See also: FAA leaves air traffic controller raises in limbo amid mounting strain on system. UK Government Commits To Boom Refueling For RAF Tankers Aerial refueling is performed by one of two methods: flying-boom (used by the U.S. Air Force) and probe-and-drogue (used by the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and many allied air forces). The future Tempest combat jet being developed under the Global Combat Air Program (GCAP) initiative is planned to be a flying-boom aircraft. The U.K. tankers use probe-and-drogue refueling, but Defense Minister Luke Pollard said the RAF's existing aerial refueling capability will eventually be complemented by a boom system. TSA brings back gate access for some people without plane tickets 25 years after 9/11 As a consequence of the 9/11 attacks, those without tickets have been unable to pass through security checkpoints. However, at some airports, under the program called “Gateside by TSA PreCheck” the TSA is allowing eligible TSA PreCheck® members without tickets to pass through security and enter gate areas. The program is free and TSA PreCheck members and those with Known Traveler Numbers (KTNs) are eligible. Children are eligible to visit but must be entered on their parent/guardian's reservation. The program is currently available at 13 airports and will roll out to more airports in the coming months. Apply at the Gateside by TSA PreCheck webpage.

Drink Up: Delta Crews Will Collect Pre-Departure Drinks Earlier, In “FAA-Driven” Change Delta sent a memo to flight attendants explaining that effective September 1, 2026, “Flight attendants will be required to collect all Delta-provided service items, including both disposable and non-disposable service items, before pushback. This FAA-driven change applies across the industry and requires airlines to collect and stow service items before pushback. On flights that offer pre-departure beverages in disposable serviceware, customers may have less time with their beverages before collection, so consider opportunities to begin service earlier in the boarding process when possible.” This requirement has been in place since 1992, with FAR 121.577 (a) stating: “No certificate holder may move an airplane on the surface, take off, or land when any food, beverage, or tableware furnished by the certificate holder is located at any passenger seat.” Ben Schlappig writes, “The thing is, there was no enforcement mechanism in place, and there was also an exception for disposable service items. That has finally changed as of 2026…” Delta's Regional Airline Says Passengers Must Put Complimentary Water Bottles in Their Carry-Ons Because Then It Belongs to Them Endeavor Air, a Delta-owned regional subsidiary, wants to follow the requirement to collect service items before pushback. To comply with the rule for complimentary water bottles, Endeavor says passengers must place the bottles in carry-on bags for taxi and takeoff, rather than in the seatback pocket. That shifts responsibility from the airline to the passenger. Australia News Desk Grant, Steve, and Brian deliver local aviation news from Australia. Find Grant and Steve at Plane Crazy Down Under.

Building Culture the NASA Way: 4 Leadership Lessons | Brady PyleHow do you build and sustain a high-performing culture when the stakes are literally life and death?In this episode of Leading with Curiosity, Nate Leslie sits down with Brady Pyle, author of "Building Culture the NASA Way," to explore what 30 years inside one of the world's most iconic agencies taught him about leadership, culture, and human potential.Brady is the former Chief HR and Inclusion Officer at NASA and current Chief HR & Inclusion Officer at Space Center Houston. He breaks down the exact principles that helped transform NASA's employee engagement from under 70% to an astounding 85%.The conversation explores how leaders can avoid the trap of the "hero leader" and instead build a genuine shared vision with their teams. Brady shares how NASA learned critical lessons from moments like the Challenger and Columbia accidents, shifted from organizational arrogance to continuous benchmarking, and navigated the transition from technical expert to coach-leader by asking powerful questions rather than simply providing answers.In this episode, you'll discover:• The NASA Leadership Framework: Navigate, Assess & Adapt, Strengthen Leadership, and Activate Inclusion & Innovation• How pivotal historical moments defined NASA's decision-making culture• The Mirror Principle: Understanding your personal core values vs. organizational values• Moving past the "Not Invented Here" mindset through intentional external benchmarking• Why technical leaders often stunt team growth and how asking questions empowers teams• The hidden safety and innovation risks of hybrid and remote work environments• Succession development: Growing the full talent pool rather than picking a select fewWhether you're leading a small team or managing an enterprise workforce, these aerospace-tested principles will help you build trust, accountability, and sustainable performance.What is the biggest challenge your organization faces when building team culture: creating a shared vision or transitioning managers into coaches? Share your perspective in the comments.

Il est 11h38, ce 28 janvier 1986. Après plusieurs départs différés, la navette Challenger du vol 51-L décolle enfin du Centre Spatial Kennedy de Floride. A bord de la navette, sept astronautes, deux femmes et cinq hommes. Suite à une défaillance technique, la navette spatiale explose en plein vol. A peine 73 secondes après son décollage. Il n'y a évidemment aucun survivant à bord. L'effroi est mondial. Parmi les sept astronautes victimes de l'explosion, il y a un certain Ronald Mc Nair. Vous allez l'entendre, Ronald est une personnalité hors du commun. Astrophysicien de génie, musicien virtuose, instructeur de karaté de haut niveau, docteur en physique mondialement célèbre pour ses recherches à propos des lasers, Ronald Mc Nair n'avait que 35 ans lors de son second vol spatial. Un vol qui s'est soldé par la désintégration totale de la navette Challenger...

At this point, there may be no finding our way out of the rabbit trail...Welcome to The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory Ranking | Volume 3.Same rules.Same scale.Even stranger questions.1 : Not in a million years.5: Absolutely. I'd bet my life on it.And somehow, three volumes in, Tyler still has conspiracy theories left.A LOT of them.This time, we're jumping from Hollywood mysteries to paranormal hotspots, secret societies, strange monuments, suspicious disasters, underground bunkers, dead celebrities who may not be quite as dead as we've been told...and whatever exactly is going on underneath the Denver International Airport.Was there more to Marilyn Monroe's death than the official story?What is actually happening at Skinwalker Ranch?Is everything we know about the Challenger disaster exactly as it seems?How much influence have the Freemasons really had throughout history?Why does the Denver Airport inspire so many bizarre theories?And seriously...What is the deal with that giant blue horse?Yes.We're talking about Blucifer.And because apparently we haven't learned anything from the first two volumes, we also wade into one of the great celebrity mysteries of all time:Could Elvis Presley still be alive?Some of these theories have been around for decades. Others are so strange that simply explaining them raises even more questions.And a few have just enough weird details surrounding them to make you stop and think:Wait... what?That's the whole point of this series.We're not here to tell you what to believe.We're here to take the strange claims, the suspicious coincidences, the unexplained details, the internet rabbit trails, and the stories that refuse to die...and put a number on them.Sometimes Woody and Tyler are completely aligned.Sometimes they could not be further apart.And sometimes a theory that sounds absolutely ridiculous at the beginning somehow becomes a little harder to laugh off by the end.That is dangerous territory.And we love it.So join us as we rank another batch of conspiracy theories involving Marilyn Monroe, Skinwalker Ranch, the Challenger space shuttle, Freemasons, Denver International Airport, Blucifer, Elvis Presley, and plenty more we're deliberately not spoiling here.Because if there's one thing we've learned after three volumes, it's this:The deeper you go...the more rabbit trails you find.Grab your headphones.Keep an open mind.Rank along with us.And once again ask the question that keeps getting us into trouble:Okay... but what if?The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory Ranking | Volume 3Be Rad.

Sometimes the best way to close more deals isn't by adding new people to your pipeline (though that's always a good thing.) Instead, the best thing is to address the issues that make a deal fail before they fail.In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, I joined the CEO of Challenger, Andee Harris, to get her take on failed deals and how to address those issues directly with our prospects.Challenger is a sales training company:The Challenger Sale by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson explains many of the principles Challenger uses in their training.Early sellers might be timid, which usually leads to a failure to recognize when a deal isn't moving in the right direction.In Andee's experience, continuous feedback is a great way to course-correct throughout the sales process to tailor the experience and selling strategy to the specific prospect.Passive selling isn't the best form of selling for either party. Taking control of the purchase and helping the buyer buy the product is your job.Three ways to notify deals before they go south:Integrate an avenue for continuous feedback. If a buyer likes you as a sales rep, they'll want to share methods to improve their experience.Realize that one size doesn't fit all. What works for one client might not work for another.Constantly be learning. Be curious, and look to understand and be self-aware of your strengths and weaknesses.Andee's final takeaway? Understand that we're in a complex selling environment. Multiple factors influence the selling process, but it isn't impossible to create wins and do phenomenally well.

In Episode 204 of the Facts versus Feelings Podcast, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, dig into why "everything's running hot" across the US economy. The hosts unpack the August jobs report, including a much stronger than expected 162,000 jobs created, upward revisions to prior months, a tick higher in labor force participation, and a steady 4.1% unemployment rate now sitting below 4.5% for a record 59 straight months. They also dive into which sectors are hiring, the truth behind tech layoff headlines, and why the Challenger job cuts data may be overstating labor market weakness.Later in the episode, the team covers scorching-hot ISM manufacturing and services data, surging commodity prices (copper, oil, diesel, gasoline), and what it all means for the Fed's rate decision next week, with markets pricing in real odds of a hike rather than a cut. They also touch on Lululemon's earnings miss, the AI-driven software rally, and pause to reflect on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.[Key Takeaways]August payrolls came in at 162,000, blowing past expectations, with prior months revised higher, a rare reversal after a long stretch of downward revisions.The unemployment rate held at 4.1%, marking 59 consecutive months below 4.5%, a record in the data series going back to the 1940s, while labor force participation ticked up for the first time in 11 months.Job growth over the past three months has been led by cyclical, higher-paying sectors, healthcare, professional/business services, construction, and manufacturing, accounting for the vast majority of gains.ISM manufacturing and services indices both showed activity and prices running hot, with services prices hitting their highest level since August 2022, reinforcing the "running hot" theme in growth and inflation.With nominal GDP growth strong and inflation elevated near 3%, markets are pricing in real odds of a Fed rate hike rather than a cut at the upcoming meeting, a sharp shift from where sentiment stood just weeks ago.Jump to:0:00 - Welcome And Running Hot Theme1:45 - Why Jobs Data Looks Underrated8:00 - Payroll Revisions And Trend Changes14:45 - Participation Rate And Unemployment Reality20:30 - Sector Jobs Tech Weakness And AI26:30 - Layoffs Data Myths Versus Scale32:45 - Fed Odds And Running It Hot41:00 - ISM Signals Prices And Commodities48:45 - Stocks Versus Yields And Market Positioning55:20 - 9/11 Memories And Lasting Impact59:10 - Wrap Up Livestream And DisclosuresConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Next year's Tour Championship will be much different. In today's episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg continue to discuss the roll out of the format changes for the upcoming Tour season.
