ParentingAces - The Junior Tennis and College Tennis Podcast
Welcome to Season 14 Episode 23 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week's episode with JY Aubone was shot live at the brand new Intennse Arena in Atlanta right before opening weekend of this exciting new way to play tennis.JY is working with Intennse to help manage the players as well as to do the live broadcasting via Twitch. In this week's episode, he explains how Intennse works, how it fits into a junior player's overall developmental pathway, and the opportunities it holds for recently graduated college players.I had the opportunity to watch Intennse live during its opening weekend, both the qualies matches for a spot on the Challenge team as well as the pro and junior matches. What a blast! This is tennis like you've never seen before: played on a clock, one serve, co-ed teams with coaching and substitutions, with teams playing singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. If you missed my Instagram posts over the weekend, you can find them at https://instagram.com/ParentingAces.To be clear, Intennse is NOT looking to replace traditional tennis or tennis tournaments. Rather, it is acting as a bridge for junior players who want to play college tennis so they can gain experience playing on a team and under pressure as well as for those players looking to play professionally but aren't quite ready - either developmentally or financially - to start a pro career. On the junior side, Intennse matches do count for UTR and WTN and, if a junior player wants to play qualies for a spot on that week's Challenger team, they have the opportunity to earn in excess of $1500 if their Challenger team beats the pro team that week. On the pro side, players receive a guaranteed salary plus prize money if their team wins a match. Intennse is allowing players to better manage their travel and competition schedule while receiving salary and benefits, a far cry from the current ATP/WTA tours.For more information on Intennse, visit the website at https://www.intennse.com/home and be sure to follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/intennsetennis, TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@intennsetennis, and Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566418503744.You can always reach out to JY directly via email at jy@forthesport.com.As always, I am available for one-to-one consults to work with you as you find your way through the college recruiting process. You can purchase and book online through our website at https://parentingaces.com/shop/category/consult-with-lisa-stone/.If you're so inclined, please share this – and all our episodes! – with your fellow tennis players, parents, and coaches. You can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or via your favorite podcast app. Please be sure to check out our logo'd merch as well as our a la carte personal consultations in our online shop.CREDITSIntro & Outro Music: Morgan Stone aka STØNEAudio & Video Editing: Lisa Stone

Articles and features from the the Community Challenger, a weekly newspaper in Buffalo, NY
Challenger Energy Group CEO Eytan Uliel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to reflect on what he described as a transformational year for the company in 2024, a turning point following several challenging periods. The key driver behind this shift was the signing of a farm-in agreement with energy major Chevron for Challenger's Uruguayan offshore assets, a move that has fundamentally reshaped the company's trajectory. Uliel explained the Chevron deal not only provided a financial lifeline, fully funding Challenger's Area OFF-1 exploration program, but also served as a strong validation of the company's technical efforts and strategic vision. With the work program now financed, Challenger Energy finds itself in the rare position of a junior oil company with no immediate need to raise capital, providing much-needed stability and flexibility as it continues to advance its portfolio. The Chevron partnership has also increased visibility and investor interest, particularly from North America, prompting Challenger to pursue an OTC listing to make its shares more accessible to U.S. investors. Looking ahead, Uliel outlined key milestones across the company's Uruguayan portfolio. For Area OFF-1, Chevron is preparing to launch a 3D seismic acquisition campaign once government permitting is finalized, marking a critical step in de-risking and further developing the asset. Meanwhile, Challenger is completing technical evaluations of Area OFF-3, with the goal of securing a second farm-in partner by the end of the year. In parallel with its Uruguay-focused strategy, Challenger Energy is making progress on exiting its legacy operations in Trinidad and continues to explore potential outcomes for its Bahamian assets. These moves are part of a deliberate effort to streamline operations and concentrate resources on its most promising and now fully funded assets in Uruguay. #proactiveinvestors #challengerenergygroupplc #aim #ceg #otcqb #bhspf #ChevronDeal #UruguayOil #OilAndGas #EnergyInvestment #FarmInAgreement #3DSeismic #ExplorationDrilling #NorthAmericaInvestors #OTCListing #TrinidadExit #BahamianAssets #ProactiveInvestors
On this week's episode, Modern Retail's senior reporters Gabriela Barkho and Melissa Daniels discuss two major topics shaking up the retail world. First, they dive into Labubu dolls, which suddenly seem to be everywhere. They explore how the viral phenomenon started and why it is driving big-ticket resale purchases. Then, they dive into recent news around the state of employment in the retail industry, as almost 11,500 retail jobs were cut in May, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Then (13:30), this week's featured segment brings together three expert furniture executives to discuss how a historic housing slump is affecting the sector. Daniels leads a discussion featuring Nicole Chaloux-Pinette, head of category management and business development at Perigold; Jiake Liu, co-founder of direct-to-consumer outdoor furniture brand Outer; and Lee Mayer, co-founder and CEO of Havenly Brands. Mortgage rates are at 6.89%, and the National Association of Retailers says April saw month-over-month transaction losses in all U.S. regions. This is a major headwind for furniture companies that typically rely on new home sales to help drive business. While the panelists all run very different businesses, they shared similar strategies around how to serve existing customers, create acquisition opportunities, and invest in opportunities that will lead to growth.

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero La semana grande de AutoFM ya está aquí y tiene nombre propio: las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Durante todo el fin de semana emitiremos la carrera en directo, 24 horas “non-stop”, pero repartidas en cuatro streamings consecutivos para que YouTube no nos borre el trabajo. Antonio Vaquerizo, Fernando Rivas, José Lagunar, Javi Quilón, Álex Moya y nuestro corresponsal en Buenos Aires, Diego Durruty, se turnarán delante del micro —corbata roja incluida en el turno de madrugada— para que no te pierdas ni un fotograma de la prueba más mítica del deporte del automóvil. El objetivo no es “narrar” una carrera, sino vivirla contigo: comentar la acción en pista, desgranar la estrategia, repasar la historia y conectar en directo con invitados de lujo del paddock y de la industria. Le Mans es mucho más que un día de competición: el ambiente arranca el domingo previo con el “Test Day”, continúa con los entrenamientos libres, la clasificación a tres rondas (Q1, Q2 y la nueva Hyperpole) y culmina con la Driver Parade del viernes —una auténtica cabalgata en la que los pilotos desfilan por Le Mans en deportivos de cada marca mientras reparten merchandising—. Mientras grabábamos la tertulia, Álex y Javi seguían en tiempo real esa Hyperpole que ha dejado fuera a dos Ferrari oficiales (51 y 83) y ha metido al #50 de Miguel Molina en la lucha por la pole. Ferrari llega como vigente ganador y líder intratable del WEC, pero el Balance of Performance puede frenar su dominio y abrir la puerta a Toyota, Porsche, Cadillac, BMW, Alpine o Lexus, todos separados por décimas. El plantel de pilotos es de otra galaxia: Mick Schumacher, Jenson Button, Sébastien Buemi, Kamui Kobayashi, Kevin Magnussen, Robert Kubica o Valentino Rossi se unen a los cinco españoles (Molina, Rivera, Fluxá, Juncadella y Rueda) y a los dos argentinos —José María “Pechito” López y Nicolás Varrone— que Diego seguirá de cerca desde la cabina nocturna (04:00–09:00 CET). Porque en Le Mans se corre a fondo de noche y de día: 4.000 km a ritmo de calificación, cambios de clima repentinos, coches de seguridad, averías de última hora y aquel recuerdo imborrable de Toyota parándose a seis minutos del final en 2016. Como reza el viejo dicho: Le Mans no se gana; Le Mans decide si te deja ganar. Habrá tiempo para la historia y las anécdotas: del duelo Ford-Ferrari de 1966 (hoy película de culto) al Mazda rotativo de 1991, los Mercedes voladores de 1999 o la resurrección de Ferrari medio siglo después, en 2023. Comentaremos también la tecnología que nació aquí y hoy llevas en tu coche: luces LED, frenos de carbono-cerámica, híbridos, diésel de competición… El sábado por la noche, además, Diego traerá su exclusiva Dakar: el bicampeón en motos Kevin Benavides cuelga el casco y debutará en coches, previsiblemente en la categoría Challenger 2026, como paso previo a un T1+. Un movimiento que, quién sabe, podría cruzar su camino con el futuro de Carlos Sainz si el madrileño se retira y Ford amplía programa. Todo ello sin perder nuestro sello: humor (la “polémica” corbata de José en 2024 tendrá réplica), complicidad con la audiencia y participación de la comunidad AutoFM en el chat. Así que prepara café para la noche, ajusta el reloj… y acompáñanos. Si nunca has visto Le Mans, ganarás todas las charlas de cuñados; si ya eres fan, vivirás la carrera como si estuvieras en el box. Del primer segundo al último, AutoFM te lleva la magia de la Sarthe a casa. Antonio R. Vaquerizo José Lagunar Javi Quilón Álex Moya de Super Motor On Line Diego Durruty especialista motorsport de Automundo.com

Boxing: Japan's Teraji to Face US Challenger in Flyweight Title Defense in July
Pat Winer's journey through the towing industry reveals a career marked by innovation, service, and an unwavering commitment to community. From his humble beginnings in the paint department at Challenger Wrecker Manufacturer in the early 1980s, Pat shares the fascinating evolution of his career alongside the technological advancements that have shaped modern towing.Working under industry pioneer Bill Bottoms at Challenger, Pat witnessed firsthand how manufacturing excellence and thoughtful design could transform an industry. He describes the state-of-the-art facilities where an overhead chain-link system moved parts between stations – a testament to the ingenuity that has always driven the best in the business. As the wheel lift revolution took hold in the mid-80s, Pat found himself at the epicenter of change, watching as demand for add-on wheel lifts grew so intense that "guys were waiting in line to get them."Perhaps most compelling is Pat's creation of Tow Trucks for Tots in 2007, an initiative born from a simple yet profound desire to transform the somber processions of tow trucks at industry funerals into something joyful and community-focused. What started as a local parade has grown into an annual tradition that has broken Guinness World Records, delivered toys to children affected by economic hardship and natural disasters, and even inspired similar events internationally. The friendly competition with the French Towing Association, who now hold the record with 491 trucks, only serves to benefit more children in need.Today, as District Sales Manager for Landau Corporation, Pat continues to champion innovation with new trailer designs featuring 10-foot-1 spread axles and expandable capabilities reaching 61 feet. His humility shines through when discussing his Hall of Fame induction, crediting his entire team for the success of Tow Trucks for Tots.For those interested in learning more or touring the Landau factory, Pat welcomes contact at pat.winer@landoll.com or 630-878-9837. Join us for this inspiring conversation that demonstrates how dedication to craft, community, and continuous improvement can create a lasting legacy in the towing industry.

Sun Valley, the Big Groom, the Monster at the End of The Road (or at least way off the interstate)? Didn't you make All The Points? Pretty and remote and excellent. Why are we back here already when there are so many mountains left to slot onto the podcast? Fair questions, easy answer: because American lift-served skiing is in the midst of a financial and structural renaissance driven by the advent of the multimountain ski pass. A network of megamountains that 15 years ago had been growing creaky and cranky under aging lift networks has, in the past five years, flung new machines up the mountain with the slaphappy glee of a minor league hockey mascot wielding a T-shirt cannon. And this investment, while widespread, has been disproportionately concentrated on a handful of resorts aiming to headline the next generation of self-important holiday Instagram posts: Deer Valley, Big Sky, Steamboat, Snowbasin, and Sun Valley (among others). It's going to be worth checking in on these places every few years as they rapidly evolve into different versions of themselves.And Sun Valley is changing fast. When I hosted Sonntag on the podcast in 2022, Sun Valley had just left Epic for Ikon/Mountain Collective and announced its massive Broadway-Flying Squirrel installation, a combined 14,982 linear feet of high-speed machinery that included a replacement of North America's tallest chairlift. A new Seattle Ridge sixer followed, and the World Cup spectacle followed that. Meanwhile, Sun Valley had settled into its new pass coalitions and teased more megalifts and improvements to the village. Last December, the resort's longtime owner, Carol Holding, passed away at age 95. Whatever the ramifications of all that will be, the trajectory and fate of Sun Valley over the next decade is going to set (as much or more than it traces), the arc of the remaining large independents in our consolidating ski world.What we talked aboutThe passing and legacy of longtime owner Carol Holding and her late husband Earl – “she was involved with the business right up until the very end”; how the Holdings modernized the Sun Valley ski areas; long-term prospects for Sun Valley and Snowbasin independence following Mrs. Holding's passing; bringing World Cup Downhill races back to Sun Valley; what it took to prep Bald Mountain for the events; the risks of hosting a World Cup; finish line vibes; the potential for a World Cup return and when and how that could happen; the impact of the Challenger and Flying Squirrel lift upgrades; potential upgrades for the Frenchman's, River Run, Lookout Express, and Christmas lifts; yes Sun Valley has glades; the impact of the Seattle Ridge chairlift upgrade; why actual lift capacity for Sun Valley's legacy high-speed quads doesn't match spec; explaining Sun Valley's infrastructure upgrade surge; why Mayday and Lookout will likely remain fixed-grip machines; the charm of Dollar Mountain; considering Dollar lift upgrades; what happened to the Silver Dollar carpet; why Sun Valley is likely sticking with Ikon and Mountain Collective long-term after trying both those coalitions and Epic; whether Sun Valley could join Ikon Base now that Alterra ditched Ikon Base Plus; RFID coming at last; whether we could still see a gondola connection between Sun Valley Village and Dollar and Bald mountains; and why Sun Valley isn't focused on slopeside development at Bald Mountain.Why now was a good time for this interviewSince I more or less covered interview timing above, let me instead pull out a bit about Sun Valley's megapass participation that ended up being timely by accident. We recorded this conversation in April, well before Vail Resorts named Rob Katz its CEO for a second time, likely resetting what had become a lopsided (in Alterra's favor) Epic-versus-Ikon battle. Here's what Sonntag had to say on the pod in 2022, when Sun Valley had just wrapped its three-year Epic Pass run and was preparing for its first season on Ikon:… our three-year run with Epic was really, really good. And it brought guests to Sun Valley who have never been here before. I mean, I think we really proved out the value of these multi-resort passes and these partner passes. People aspire to go other places, and when their pass allows them to do that, that sometimes is the impetus. That's all they need to make that decision to do it. So as successful as that was, we looked at Ikon and thought, well, here's an opportunity to introduce ourselves to a whole new group of guests. And why would we not take advantage of that? We're hoping to convert, obviously, a few of these folks to be Sun Valley regulars. And so now we have the opportunity to do that again with Ikon.When I asked Sonntag during that conversation whether he would consider returning to Epic at some point, he said that “I'm focused on doing a great job of being a great partner with Ikon right now,” and that, “I'm not ready to go there yet.”With three winters of Ikon and Mountain Collective membership stacked, Sonntag spoke definitively this time (emphasis mine):We are very very happy with how everything has gone. We feel like we have great partners with both Ikon, which is, you know, partnering with a company, but they're partners in every sense of the word in terms of how they approach the partnership, and we feel like we have a voice. We have access to data. We can really do right by our customers and our business at the same time.Should we read that as an Epic diss on Broomfield? Perhaps, though saying you like pizza doesn't also mean you don't like tacos. But Sonntag was unambiguous when I asked whether Sun Valley was #TeamIkon long-term: “I would see us staying the course,” he said.For those inclined to further read into this, Sonntag arrived at Sun Valley after a long career at Vail Resorts, which included several years as president/COO-equivalent of Heavenly and Whistler. And while Sun Valley is part of a larger company that also includes Snowbasin, meaning Sonntag is not the sole decision-maker, it is interesting that an executive who spent so much of his career with a first-hand look inside the Epic Pass would now lead a mountain that stands firmly with the opposition.What I got wrongI mischaracterized the comments Sonntag had made on Epic and Ikon when we spoke in 2022, making it sound as though he had suggested that Sun Valley would try both passes and then decide between them. But it was me who asked him whether he would decide between the two after an Ikon trial, and he had declined to answer the question, saying, as noted above, that he wasn't “ready to go there yet.”Why you should ski Sun ValleyIf I was smarter I'd make some sort of heatmap showing where skier visits are clustered across America. Unfortunately I'm dumb, and even more unfortunately, ski areas began treating skier visit numbers with the secrecy of nuclear launch codes about a decade ago, so an accurate map would be difficult to draw up even if I knew how.However, I can offer a limited historical view into the crowding advantages that Sun Valley offers in comparison to its easier-to-access peer resorts. Check out Sun Valley's average annual skier visits from 2005 to 2011, compared to similarly sized Breckenridge and Keystone, and smaller Beaver Creek:Here's how those four ski areas compare in size and average skier visits per acre:Of course, 2011 was a long time ago and multi-mountain passes have dramatically reworked visitation patterns. Breck, Keystone, and Beaver Creek, all owned by Vail during the above timeframe, joined Epic Pass in 2008, while Sun Valley would stand on its own until landing on Mountain Collective in 2015, then Epic in 2019, then back to MC and Ikon in 2022. Airline service to Sun Valley has improved greatly in the past 15 years, which could also have ramped up the resort's skier visits.Still, anecdote and experience suggest that these general visitation ratios remain similar to the present day. Beaver Creek remains a bit of a hidey-hole by Colorado standards, but Breck and Keystone, planted right off America's busiest ski corridor in America's busiest ski state, are among the most obvious GPS inputs for the Epic Pass masses. No one has to try that hard to get to Summit County. To get to Sun Valley, you still have to work (and spend), a bit more.So that's the pitch, I guess, in addition to all the established Sun Valley bullet points: excellent grooming and outrageous views and an efficient and fast lift network. By staying off the Ikon Base Pass, not to mention Interstates 70 and 80, Sun Valley has managed to achieve oxymoron status: the big, modern U.S. ski resort that feels mostly empty most of the time. It's this and Taos and Telluride and a few others tossed into the far corners of the Rockies, places that at once feel of the moment and stand slightly outside of time.Podcast NotesOn Sun Valley/Pete 1.0Sonntag first joined me on the pod back in 2022:On Carol HoldingLongtime Sun Valley owner Carol Holding passed away on Dec. 23, 2024. Boise Dev recalled a bit of the family legacy around Sun Valley:“One day, I spotted Earl and Carol dining on the patio and asked him again,” Webb told Bossick. “And Carol turned to him and said, ‘Earl, you've been saying you're going to do that for years. If you don't build a new lodge, I'm going to divorce you.' That's what she said!”The lodge opened in 2004, dubbed Carol's Dollar Mountain Lodge.In a 2000 interview with the Salt Lake Tribune, Carol made it clear that she was as much a part of the business as Earl, whose name caught most of the headlines.“I either became part of his business or lived alone,” she said.The pair often bought distressed or undervalued assets and invested to upgrade them. She told the Tribune that paying attention to the dollars in those early years made a big difference.“I still have the first dollar bill that anyone gave me as a tip,” she said.Once they bought Sun Valley, Robert and Carol wasted no time.Wally Huffman, the resort's GM, got a call to the area above the Ram Restaurant. Someone was stuffing mattresses out the window, and they were landing with a thud on the kitchen loading dock below. Huffman called Janss – the person who had owned the resort – and asked what to do.“I think you should do whatever Mr. Holding tells you to do.”Robert and Carol had purchased the property, and upgrades were well underway. They didn't know how to ski. But they did know hospitality.“Why would anyone who didn't know how to ski buy a ski resort? That wasn't why we bought it—to come here to ski,” Carol said. “We bought it to run as a business.”Earl Holding's 2013 New York Times obituary included background on the couple's purchase of Sun Valley:A year later, Carol Holding, who was her husband's frequent business partner, showed him a newspaper article about the potential sale of Sun Valley. He bought the resort, which had fallen into disrepair since its glory years as a getaway for Ernest Hemingway and others, after he and his wife spent a day there skiing. They had never skied before.Davy Ratchford, President of sister resort Snowbasin, told a great story about Carol Holding on the podcast back in 2023 [31:20]:Mrs. Holding is an amazing woman and is sharp. She knows everything that's going on at the resorts. She used to work here, right? She'd flip burgers and she'd sell things from the retail store. I mean she's an original, right? Like she is absolutely amazing and she knows everything about it. And I was hired and I remember being in our lodge and I had all the employees there and she was introducing me, and it was an amazing experience. I remember I was kneeling down next to her chair and I said, “You know, Mrs. Holding, thank you for the opportunity.” And she grabs both your hands and she holds them in tight to her, and that's how she talks to you. It's this amazing moment. And I said, “I just want to make sure I'm doing exactly what you want me to do for you and Earl's legacy of Snowbasin.” I know how much they love it, right? Since 1984. And I said, “Can I just ask your advice?” And this is exactly what she said to me, word for word, she said, “Be nice and hire nice people.” And every employee orientation since then, I've said that: “Our job is to be nice and to hire nice people.”Listen to the rest here:On Sun Valley's evolutionWhen the Holdings showed up in 1977, Sun Valley, like most contemporary ski areas, was a massive tangle of double and triple chairs:The resort upgraded rapidly, installing seven high-speed quads between 1988 and 1994: Unfortunately, the ski area chose Yan, whose bungling founder's shortcuts transformed the machines into deathtraps, as its detachable partner. The ski area heavily retrofit all seven machines in partnership with Doppelmayr in 1995. Sun Valley has so far replaced three of the seven Yans: the Seattle Ridge sixer replaced the detach quad of the same name last year and the Broadway sixer and Flying Squirrel quad replaced the Broadway and Greyhawk quads in 2023, on a new alignment:Sonntag outlines which of the remaining four Yan-Doppelmayr hybrids will be next on the pod.I've summarized the Yan drama several times, most recently in the article accompanying my podcast conversation with Mammoth COO Eric Clark earlier this year:On World Cup resultsWhile we talk in general about the motivation behind hosting the World Cup, what it took to prep the mountain, and the energy of the event itself, we don't get a lot into the specifics of the events themselves. Here are all the official stats.

If you've ever found yourself caught in a messy business conflict, feeling stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed, this episode is for you. I created this session to walk you through a 3-step system that helps you process conflict from a grounded, conscious place, not from emotional reactivity or fear.

Una explosión en el cielo que congeló al mundo. El Challenger no solo fue una tragedia: fue el inicio de una sospecha que aún orbita. ¿Vivieron realmente sus tripulantes? ¿O solo es otra distorsión dentro de una realidad que apenas entendemos? Hablamos de teorías inquietantes, pero también del autoestima del venezolano, la influencia silenciosa de la agenda estadounidense, y esa pregunta imposible de ignorar: ¿vivimos en una simulación? Además, el universo simbólico de Chespirito y el juicio contra P. Diddy, donde fama, poder y decadencia se cruzan en un relato digno de ficción… o de nuestra época.

Y'all, I'm still catching my breath from one of the most electric weeks in women's rodeo history. In this episode of In The LOOP, I sat down with Sammy Jo Smith and Lindsay Rosser-Sumpter to break down everything that went down at the 2025 Women's Rodeo World Championships—and let me tell you, it was one for the books.AT&T Stadium was absolutely booming. From start to finish, it felt like the entire sport of women's rodeo leveled up. We saw Limited, Challenger, and Pro athletes compete side-by-side on the biggest stage, and it was clear—we're not just “in the loop”… we're leading it.Charmaine Holdren gave me goosebumps in the barrel race, nearly winning it all as a Limited athlete. Ashton Pratts and Tammy Lewis teaming up and taking the win was such a powerful moment—one that reminded me just how much legacy and future can exist in the same arena.We also got real about what it takes behind the scenes to bring an event like this to life. From months of Zoom calls and logistics to working with amazing partners like PBR, WCRA, and Cowboy Channel, this was the biggest and best WRWC yet.And we're already charging into 2026. More events. More opportunities. Double points. Bigger payouts. Our partnership with NBHA is creating new doors for barrel racers. Chris Neal Productions is bringing in more chances for breakaway ropers, and the Kimes Ranch Million Dollar Breakaway is changing the game completely.If you're a cowgirl dreaming of a bigger platform, or you're someone who believes in the power of this sport—we've got a place for you.

Drawing from history, behavioral science, and personal stories, Adrian offers a compelling redefinition of what it means to succeed. From his humble academic beginnings to building international ventures, Adrian brings a unique perspective on resilience, motivation, and identity.

When a baseball connects perfectly with the bat and sails over the fence, there's a special feeling that stays with you forever. That magical moment—one that Clearwater Little League board member Amanda Cole hopes every child experiences—sits at the heart of our latest conversation about youth sports, community building, and creating future leaders.Fresh off our successful fundraiser that raised $3,500 for the league, Amanda reveals what makes Clearwater Little League special beyond the typical base hits and strikeouts. With over 360 players each season, their programs extend far beyond traditional baseball, including six Challengers teams that provide children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to experience America's pastime. Every fall, they host the statewide Challenger jamboree, welcoming teams from across Florida for a weekend celebration of inclusive baseball.Behind the pristine fields and impressive facilities lies a volunteer-driven organization tackling significant challenges. Hurricane damage last season forced the closure of five fields, while annual expenses—including a surprising $10,000 just for baseballs—require continuous fundraising efforts. Yet through careful stewardship, registration fees remain remarkably affordable ($35 for T-Ball), ensuring financial barriers don't prevent participation. The league provides equipment for newcomers and creates a supportive environment where players can develop confidence while building relationships with caring adults.Amanda's vision for the future includes doubling their softball program and increasing female representation in coaching and umpiring roles. However, with seven fields already booked from afternoon until night throughout the season, community support through sponsorships (ranging from $600 to $25,000) and volunteering has never been more crucial to their continued growth.Whether you're looking to register a player, volunteer your time, or support youth development through sponsorship, visit clearwaterlittleleague.com today to discover how you can help build brave, honest leaders who care about their community both on and off the diamond.
For our Wednesday politics episode, former Judge Pat Dugan visits City Cast Philly to make his case for why District Attorney Larry Krasner, a two-term incumbent, doesn't deserve to be reelected. Dugan notes that despite a recent drop in the murder rate, the number of homicides in the city is far too high and is directly attributable to Krasner's policies. Dugan also says that while Krasner is held up as a “progressive prosecutor,” certain city diversion programs – which provide resources instead of jail time for some low-level offenders – have floundered under Krasner. And he blasts Krasner's approach to retail theft. Krasner was on City Cast Philly last Wednesday, April 30, so check out that episode. The Democratic primary election for district attorney is May 20.

Send us a textKen welcomes Washington political commentator, speechwriter, and author Peter Wehner. Pete is a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a senior fellow at the Trinity Forum. He is well known for his prolific contribution to the intersection of politics, public policy, and faith. Early on, he identified as a conservative, a Republican, and an Evangelical. From 2011, when Donald Trump campaigned to challenge the legitimacy of the Obama Presidency, suggesting that he was born in Kenya and not the U.S.A., Wehner has called out the danger of a Trump presidency. Pete has been a stalwart in opposing Donald Trump and in the process, he no longer identifies as a Republican or an Evangelical. He remains a traditional conservative. However, he has offered a powerful and sustained critique of evangelical support for Donald Trump and a Republican Party that has become subservient to the newly elected President. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson played a key role in that transition. Ken and Pete have a lively discussion over his early years as a new Christian, his college career, the influence of his scientist father, his move to Washington, Reagan's speech after the Challenger disaster, George Bush's 9/11 speech (Pete was in the White House that fateful day), and finally Donald Trump's complete take-over of the Republican Party and his return to the White House for a second term.

In this episode, Eric sits down with Åsa Borg, the Chief Marketing & Commercial Operations Officer at Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand that's challenging the automotive industry. Since launching in 2017, Polestar has rapidly expanded to 27 markets globally with their lineup of electric vehicles. Åsa brings her wealth of experience from 20 years at Volvo Cars to this challenger brand, offering unique insights on the difference between marketing for an established brand versus building one from scratch.One of the key takeaways from this conversation is how Polestar approached sustainability—making it core to their brand identity rather than just a marketing message. Åsa shares that transparency is a fundamental value for Polestar, especially in an industry that has historically hidden its environmental impact. We also dive into their decision to bring creative and media capabilities in-house, which has allowed for greater consistency, speed, and control over their brand expression across all 27 markets. Another fascinating aspect of our discussion explores how AI is being integrated into their marketing operations, from improving translation to maintaining brand tonality across markets. If you're interested in automotive marketing, sustainability branding, or building in-house creative capabilities, this episode is packed with valuable insights!Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/fSEW2Vl2Sf8
