Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around Tahhad Pettiford's decision to return to Auburn for his sophomore season. That wasn't the only thing discussed today; there were other ancillary points made: • What about the new Serbian, Filip Jovic? What can he do? • Auburn now has 11 players on scholarship. B-Matt loves the array. • Caleb previews a big weekend for football recruiting. • Why has LB/DE Jaquez Wilker become so important? • Will Auburn keep the Baltimore pipeline cranking? • Baseball earned a VERY high national seed in the NCAA Tournament! • B-Matt previews what should be a fun weekend at Plainsman Park. • Shoutouts. The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Florence, suburban Charlotte, Chapel Hill and Las Vegas.

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down the Chapel Hill Regional, hosted by North Carolina. The Tar Heels had a tremendous résumé and are loaded with stars, with starting pitcher Jake Knapp, catcher Luke Stevenson, first baseman Hunter Stokely, 1B, North Carolina, pitcher Jason DeCaro, outfielder Kane Kepley, second baseman Jackson Van De Brake and reliever Walker McDuffie all making one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's first three all-league teams. The Tar Heels posted an outstanding 3.46 ERA, hit 73 home runs and stole 83 bases and look to be one of the most complete teams in the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma, with ace and soon-to-be MLB first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon, can beat anyone when he's on the mound. The Sooners are athletic and can run and defend with catcher Easton Carmichael, center fielder Jason Walk and third baseman Jaxon Willis among the lineup standouts. Can the Sooners get enough pitching from starters Malachi Witherspoon and Cade Crossland--who are talented, but inconsistent--to win the regional? Nebraska won the Big 10 tournament pitching in spacious Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, thanks to a monumental championship-game effort from right-hander Tyler Horn. It's not a team laden with standouts--reliever Luke Broderick was the only Cornhusker on the first three All-Big Ten team--but Case Sanderson leads a quality offense that likes to put the ball in play. Fourth-seeded Holy Cross took a game in its series at Auburn earlier in the year. Jimmy King (20 steals), Gianni Royer (24) and CJ Ergrie (35) are good at reaching base (a team mark of .407) and running, and durable ace Danny Macchiarola gives the Crusaders a chance to win when he pitches.

Monty, Nick, and Micah are back with your ACC Regional preview! First we react to how the ACC did not get favorable bids, and how some teams were left out. Will the Louisville arms sustain the tough lineups in Nashville? Can Miami find that red hot team against going into Hattiesburg? Florida State's pitching going the distance in Tallahassee. UNC's lineup going to be too much for other teams in the Chapel Hill Regional. Can NC State find the longball to escape the Auburn regional? Are the Buzz Boys ready to prove everyone down in Oxford? Is Duke in the most wide open Regional in Athens? Does Clemson have enough pitching if the lose one in their Regional? Which Wake Forest are we going to get in Knoxville? Monty will be in Clemson, Nick will be in Chapel Hill, and Micah will make a trip to Hattiesburg and Oxford!

This week the fellas get ready for post season play!Easton Carmichael joins the show for the 4th and possibly last time in his Sooner Career. We are joined by Ethan McCormick (@ezmc37) of NRG Media to talk about the match up with Nebraska. Boomer Sooner!

We all know the disappointment the regular season was for Nebraska, landing them the 8-seed in the B1G Tournament. Well, thanks to a dropped 3rd out in game 1 vs. Michigan State, the Huskers took down Oregon on Friday night, and then took care of Penn State on Saturday, before shutting out UCLA, 5-0, to win the tourney on Sunday Ty Horn was sensational, going 8 complete shutout innings on Sunday to earn the win, but the offense was hot early and defense did what it needed to get it done. Nebraska plays Oklahoma on Friday in Chapel Hill (NC), and guess who missed the tourney completely….preseason No. 1 Texas A&M and Iowa, who led the B1G the majority of the season Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this enlightening "snack episode," host Miranda Dorta turns the mic around to interview Tracy Cherpeski about the critical connection between leadership approaches and healthcare practice success. Tracy reveals how healthcare providers often exhibit confidence in clinical settings but struggle with business leadership, sharing practical insights on adapting leadership styles while maintaining authenticity. She introduces the concept of "changing hats" to help practitioners mentally transition between clinical and leadership roles, and emphasizes that micromanagement isn't always negative when applied strategically. Tracy's most impactful leadership tip? The power of the pause—what she calls "WAIT" (Why Am I Talking?)—allowing leaders to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively.  Episode Highlights:  The pattern Tracy observed in healthcare providers: confidence in clinical delegation but timidity in business leadership  How practitioners can transfer clinical skills to leadership while knowing which habits to "surgically remove"  The cognitive trick of "changing hats" to help the brain switch between clinical and leadership mindsets  Why micromanagement isn't always negative and when it might be necessary  The most powerful leadership adjustment: learning to pause before reacting  Memorable Quotes:  "Sometimes their business model is to hope for the best."  "Leadership doesn't mean knowing everything. It doesn't mean being in command or control of every single thing."  "Micromanagement - it's not a four-letter word, but it sounds like it could be."  "If you take your hands off, not abdicate your responsibility for success, but take your hands off and let them do their work, they will rise to the occasion."  "We call it WAIT. It's an acronym. Why Am I Talking?"  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International.

Charisma is a word we hear all the time, but what does it really mean? Why are some leaders able to draw people in, while others push us away? I've been fascinated by this for years, wondering why we're drawn to certain people, what makes us follow, and how charisma shapes our lives in ways we don't always notice. In a culture where stories and leaders are constantly competing for our attention, understanding charisma feels more urgent than ever. That's why I'm excited to talk with Molly Worthen. Molly is a historian and journalist whose new book, Spellbound, digs deep into the history of charisma in America. She traces how charisma has played out from the era of the Puritans and prophets, through conquerors, agitators, and experts, all the way to today's age of gurus and influencers. Each era reveals something about what we long for—and what we risk—when we put our trust in charismatic leaders. In this episode, we explore what charisma actually is, how it both unites and divides, and how these waves of charismatic movements have shaped our culture and our faith. We'll talk about the stories that draw us in, the identities we build, and how to stay grounded as followers of Jesus when everything around us feels like it's shifting. If you're trying to figure out who to trust, how to stay rooted, or just want to make sense of all the noise, this conversation is for you.Molly Worthen is a professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a freelance journalist. She teaches courses on North American religion and politics, global Christianity, and the history of ideas. She writes on these themes for The New York Times and has contributed to The New Yorker, Slate, The American Prospect, Foreign Policy, and other publications. She has also created video and audio courses on the history of Christianity and the history of charismatic leadership for the Great Courses and Audible.

In this kickoff live session for our new class on the Holy Spirit, I'm joined by Grace Ji-Sun Kim—author of the Homebrewed Christianity Guide to the Holy Spirit (and about 24 other spirit-focused books by her count!). We dive into some fascinating early questions about the nature of the spirit: Is it a person, principle, or energy? Grace reminds us that confusion is actually a good starting place, since certainty is where problems arise. We explore how her unique background—growing up Korean Presbyterian but exposed to Baptist, Pentecostal, and many other traditions—gave her a perspective that transcends denominational boundaries. Grace shares incredible stories about her unexpected adventure in Rome during the papal conclave (including jumping barriers to chase Pope Leo XIV!), reflecting on how the Spirit moves in ways that challenge patriarchal structures while still working within them. We discuss embodied spirituality, vibrations as divine creation, and how studying the Spirit has transformed Grace's own prayer life. Whether you're Presbyterian, Pentecostal, or somewhere in between, join us as we journey through this four-part exploration of the Holy Spirit leading up to Pentecost! And if you're in North Carolina, come see us live at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Chapel Hill at 7pm on June 8th!

Happy Tuesday! Beamer and Austin Ward open the show tonight with the reports of Power Conferences work on contract to bind schools to new enforcement rules, with strict punishments and what it would do to College Football. The guys breakdown the Fan Poll from today on which National Championship team at Ohio State is the best this century which creates a big debate.

Tuesday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, the Eagles reward Nick Sirianni with an extension despite many thinking he’s unfit as a head coach. Belichick brings optimism to Chapel Hill but people are still hung up on his personal life. And same goes for Ryan Clark vs RG3.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian and journalist Molly Worthen explores the mysterious and potent force of charisma, and its power to shape American identity, culture, politics, and religion. She explains how storytelling, transcendence, and authority are used by America's most charismatic leaders. Drawing on her new book Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump, Worthen shares how charismatic authority reveals deep human desires for meaning, agency, and transcendence. The conversation explores themes of vulnerability, spiritual hunger, religious disaffiliation, and the evolving nature of belief and belonging in modern society. Worthen unpacks the often-overlooked distinction between charisma and charm or celebrity, examining the role of storytelling in cultivating authority and devotion. She also shares how researching this subject intersected with her own spiritual journey, culminating in her recent conversion to Christianity. Key Moments Molly Worthen discusses her latest book, *Spellbound.* Charisma: a relational, story-driven phenomenon, not mere charm or celebrity Our religious impulse persists despite declining traditional affiliation Worthen's personal spiritual journey: from intellectual agnosticism to Christian faith while writing the book Donald Trump's narrative charisma and religious-political appeal examined in depth Human longing for transcendence and meaning as the root of charismatic power Episode Highlights “Evangelism is just telling people what happened to you.” “The heart of charisma is the leader's ability to tell a story… that does a better job at explaining the chaos and the suffering.” “We want the comfort of knowing that some force larger than us is ultimately in charge—and yet we also seek agency.” “I came to realize I was writing a book that was fundamentally about spiritual hunger—and that I myself had that hunger too.” “Authenticity as a personal style has no necessary relationship with honesty.” “We kid ourselves if we think more sources solve the mystery of charisma—reality is an asymptote we never perfectly reach.” About Molly Worthen Molly Worthen is Associate Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in North American religion, politics, global Christianity, and the history of ideas. She is a contributing writer for The New York Times and author of several books, including Apostles of Reason and The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost. Her most recent book is Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump. Show Notes Authority—who should we listen to? Internal battles within American evangelicalism The definition of charisma and its distinction from charm, celebrity, and power Charisma: “ the allure in a leader that gives him or her the power to move a crowd that is premised on a relationship. … you need two parties at least. It's not solely a quality of fluorescence that shines out from the individual without other people to interact with it.” The leader's ability to tell a story that explains the audience's experience of life Paradoxical quality: we want our decision to make a difference in our fate, but we also want some being or force larger than us to make it all okay. “ It's not just about looking at the one who is the special anointed one, but it's that somehow through that person, I too, or we too, see ourselves more clearly.” Special revelation and stories of experiencing God in particular ways “Capturing the ineffable” Role of charismatic leaders in American religious and political life Impact of Joseph Smith, Anne Hutchinson, JFK, and Adlai Stevenson Why institutional religion no longer captures spiritual impulse for many Americans Storytelling as the essence of charismatic authority Evolution of American individualism and the cult of authenticity How mass media, trauma, and cultural crises shape charismatic influence Coming to terms with the limits of your “source base”—”Reality is an asymptote.” “It's that sort of transcendent storytelling ability that is the heart of charisma.” Mormonism and the charisma of Joseph Smith Leaders like JFK and Adlai Stevenson offered different models of modern charisma “So much of my book is really about the fortunes of established institutions in American culture because charismatic figures always define themselves vis-a-vis institutions.” Routinizing charisma (cf. Max Weber) “The gap or the consistency between what our subjects are, are thinking and intending consciously and what they actually do.” Intuition vs analysis—steeping in cultural milieu and operating out of personal life experiences The Puritan heretic, Anne Hutchinson “Very few humans are out and out cynics.” Charismatic figures aren't always attractive or eloquent—they resonate through meaning-making “ The religious impulse is finding a place to land other than organized religion.” Protestant roots of American consciousness tied to authority and self-discovery Humanist psychology and positive thinking “The age of the gurus” Charisma and Contemporary Politics: Donald Trump Trump's story of victimhood, self-made success, and defiance of institutions as a charismatic myth Trump's stream-of-consciousness style perceived as authenticity by many followers. “For example, his rambling stream of consciousness, speaking style that actually is a core, is core to his appeal, I think for many Trump supporters because it comes across as a kind of authenticity—as a willingness to tell it how it is and speak off the top of his head. And authenticity as a personal style has no necessary relationship with honesty in terms of correspondence to, you know, empirically verifiable facts.” The alignment between his narrative and the prosperity gospel ”While Donald Trump is no one's idea of an Orthodox Christian, he grew up in Norman Vincent Peale's Church in New York City, Marble Collegiate Church, hearing the Prosperity Gospel, the gospel of positive thinking.” ”I think Trump has a, has a really acute spiritual instinct for. That picture of reality one in which we can really reshape reality with our minds.” Early support from independent charismatic church networks shaped his rise. Importance of positive thinking theology (e.g., Norman Vincent Peale) in his spiritual instincts. “I suppose I was about two thirds of the way through the rough draft of this book when I was rudely interrupted by the Holy Spirit. I have always studied Christianity as a very sympathetic and, frankly, envious outsider and never was entirely happy with my agnostic fence sitting, but also wasn't actively looking to resolve my metaphysical questions.” “ I've always had this conviction that humans are fundamentally religious creatures and they have this impulse to connect to a transcendent source of meaning to worship.” “I came to realize that I was writing a book that was fundamentally about spiritual hunger and how humans cope with it. But that I myself had had that hunger as well—that I'm not immune to that feature of the human dilemma.” “We want to be pulled into something transcendent, where we are more fully ourselves.” Praying for a mystical experience—at least being “strangely warmed” ”God had already done something to my desires—I was walking in the direction of Jesus already.” “ I always see every kind of historical problem as somehow having to do with contesting visions of human nature.” “There's this silly misconception that Christianity is intellectually stultifying—that to become a orthodox, traditional Christian is to shut off all kinds of questions and accept a black and white way of thinking. And that has not been my experience.” Research project on miracles “ Evangelism is just telling people what happened to you.” Conversion was driven by rigorous academic inquiry into the resurrection and New Testament Experience echoed themes in the book: story, vulnerability, and being seen Her analysis: “God had already done something to my desires before the arguments convinced me.” Post-conversion excitement about theological study, healing, and miracles Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the strange and playful hauntings of The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Built in 1924 and located on the University of North Carolina's campus, this historic hotel has long been linked to the spirit of Dr. William Jacocks—a physician who loved the inn so much, he may have never truly left. From phantom door locks to mischievous laughter in the halls, we'll explore the real history and the eerie events that have kept this place buzzing with ghostly rumors.   Tony pulls back the curtain to examine psychological explanations for the chilling events, looking at how old architecture, the power of suggestion, and a little bit of imagination might be at play. But with decades of consistent reports from guests and staff alike, the question remains: Is the Carolina Inn merely historic, or truly haunted?

In this episode, Tracy explores how independent healthcare practice owners can leverage small wellness initiatives as powerful demonstrations of leadership. Against the backdrop of unprecedented challenges in healthcare—from high turnover to political pressures—she reveals how intentional wellness practices create disproportionate returns for small practices. Unlike large healthcare systems, small practices have a "leadership proximity advantage" that makes even modest wellness initiatives more effective. Tracy shares practical, low-cost approaches that strengthen team culture, improve retention, and ultimately create more sustainable practices. The episode highlights how leadership presence, rather than elaborate programs, is the true foundation of practice wellbeing.  Episode Highlights:  Why small practices have a distinct advantage in implementing effective wellness initiatives  A simple 20-minute weekly wellness activity that costs nothing but delivers remarkable results  Five mindset practices that integrate wellness into everyday leadership  How to measure the ROI of wellness initiatives through reduced absenteeism and improved engagement  The critical connection between a leader's own sustainable energy and team wellness  Memorable Quotes:  "Culture isn't a workshop we attend. It's about the example we set."  "The most successful practice owners know that wellness isn't about implementing a program—it's about investing in your most valuable asset: your people."  "Small, consistent wellness actions may seem insignificant compared to the daily operations of your practice, but they can completely redirect your practice culture."  "The practices that consistently outperform, even in challenging times, aren't necessarily the ones with the most resources—they're the ones led by owners who understand that how they show up matters more than what they say."  "You can't pour from an empty cup. The foundation of any successful team wellness initiative is your own sustainable energy as a leader."  Free Resource Mentioned: Download the Energy Audit workbook at PracticeSuccess.co/resources  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

The great Anthony Schlegel joins us at 7:00! Unfortunately, Ohio State's season opener against Texas is set for a noon kickoff - maybe...the Knicks beat the Celtics again...how short will the Belichick era be in Chapel Hill?

Coming off a tough 0-3 week, NC State baseball responded with wins at UNCW and UNC-Chapel Hill to move back into the Top 15. The men's basketball team didn't add a transfer for the first time in a while, but could something big be on the horizon with PJ Haggerty? Cory Smith and James Curle will discuss those topics, the “rainout” Sunday in Chapel Hill, football adding two new transfers and the announcement of NC State at Notre Dame as a streaming-only game. Watch or listen to the latest weekly podcast from Amedeo's to get all of that and more!

The pastors' wives are honored to have Beth Allison Barr on the podcast to chat about her new book: Becoming the Pastor's Wife: How Marriage Replaced Ordination as a Woman's Path to Ministry. Beth has a PhD, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is James Vardaman Endowed Chair of History at BaylorUniversity in Waco, Texas, where she specializes in medieval history, women's history, and church history. She is the author of the USA Today bestseller The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth. Barr lives in Texas with her husband, a Baptist pastor, and their two children.In our conversation today, Beth shares the “deep cost” that came with the rise of the pastor's wife role—especially the way it limited women's opportunities to lead in their own right; how her background in medieval and women's history has shaped the way she sees the role of pastors' wives in today's evangelical church; and gives encouragement for the pastors' wives feeling stuck or silenced—who love the church but are struggling to find their place and voice in it. This conversation is educated, insightful, and full of grace for those who may disagree. Follow Along with Beth: https://www.instagram.com/bethallisonbarr/Purchase Beth's Book: Becoming the Pastor's WifeTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

DateMay 11, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we confront the deep human longing to be seen and explore how Jesus transforms our understanding of belonging. When biological families fall short or relationships fracture, Christ offers a radical alternative: a chosen family built not on bloodlines but on the courage to show up with vulnerability and love. Through locked doors and doubt, Jesus demonstrates that true peace comes not from avoiding pain, but from meeting each other in our woundedness.ReferencesScripture: John 20:19–31 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Dr. Satterlee is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Director of the Screening Live Cancer Explants Program and Core Facility at Eshelman Innovation — an academic institute focused on translating groundbreaking ideas into real solutions for patients.Since beginning his PhD in 2011 as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, Dr. Satterlee has spent over 14 years developing new cancer therapies and better, more predictive models to test those therapies. Through this work, he's seen firsthand the limitations of traditional cancer models — from the artificiality of in vitro assays, to the high cost of animal studies, and the overwhelming lack of standardization across the field.This work is deeply personal for him. At 20 years old, he was diagnosed with a rare, heterogeneous brain tumor. With no clear consensus among his doctors, it was ultimately up to him — the patient — to choose between standard-of-care whole brain radiation or a newer chemotherapy option with promising early data. It was in that moment that he knew: there had to be a better way to help providers and patients make informed treatment decisions. And today, he's building that tool.In 2016, Dr. Satterlee began developing a unique drug screening platform alongside an interdisciplinary team of scientists and clinicians, including pediatric neuro-oncologist Dr. David Kram. Their system allows for real-time testing of patient tumor tissue — taken straight from the operating room to the lab. It's already being used to help identify more effective therapies, minimize reliance on animal models, guide clinical trial enrollment, and inform real-time treatment decisions for patients with brain tumors, as well as other cancers like ovarian and lung.find out more @ https://slice.unc.edu/You can also get involved with the Gold Ribbon Kids Cancer Foundation or the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation through fundraising, volunteering, promoting awareness, or contributing to pediatric cancer research.

Trouble in Chapel Hill wit Bill and Jordon

What are the broader implications of specialized bankruptcy courts on the U.S. legal system? How are bankruptcies being used and misused by debtors and creditors today?Melissa B. Jacoby is a professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She's also the author of the book Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More Unequal.Greg and Melissa discuss the complexities of the U.S. bankruptcy code, highlighting its impact on both individuals and corporations. Their conversation digs into the unintended and often unfair consequences of bankruptcy laws, especially concerning personal bankruptcy versus corporate restructuring. Melissa and Greg also touch on the racial disparities in bankruptcy cases, the influence of the consumer credit industry, and the role of non-bankrupt players like the Sacklers in liability discharge.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The cost of going bankrupt in America09:35: You have to pay not to pay in America to go bankrupt. It is the kind of social insurance that requires an outlay of funds, and the bankruptcy system can't print money. It doesn't do job retraining. So the one thing it does is cancel debt, but you have to pay for that.How bankruptcy reflects broader inequality16:14: It's important to see how bankruptcy is in conversation with a lot of other laws and policies that create inequities outside of bankruptcy. And then, when they're brought into bankruptcy, bankruptcy piles on. The role of civil litigation in bankruptcy24:27: There are areas of law that depend not as much on upfront regulation but on ex-post exploration of alleged wrongs, that the civil litigation process is not merely to reward a remedy like some people think, although again, sometimes that is what people want. It is to switch the power dynamics in the control that an injured person gets to ask someone else questions, gets to shape the process. And that doesn't mean they're going to prevail. It is possible that instead of getting 3 cents on the dollar, there will be zero. But that's not really the point here. The point here, you're losing a lot of other objectives that the law outside of bankruptcy is supposed to fill. And it becomes very easy once one spends a lot of time in the bankruptcy system. Everything is about money.Bankruptcy can cancel debts but we've made it too hard to use08:34: The thing that bankruptcy can do the best, or is the most equipped to do relative to other laws, is to cancel debts. So, what is going on with the consumer credit industry in its many, many years of lobbying to make the bankruptcy system more complicated and more expensive for average families to use? It doesn't seem to have been that the bankruptcy system operates more smoothly and efficiently, because, if anything, the 2005 amendments had the opposite effect.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Elizabeth WarrenChapter 9Chapter 11Chapter 13Corporate PersonhoodSackler FamilyRegulatory Takings in the United StatesDouglas Baird PodcastUnited States Bankruptcy CourtGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at UNC School of LawMBJacoby.orgLinkedIn ProfileSocial Profile on XHer Work:Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More UnequalGoogle Scholar Page

Sam Moore’s path into sport science is defined by taking risks and chasing meaningful questions. After a devastating knee injury as a collegiate athlete, Moore not only returned to compete, but she also discovered her calling in strength and conditioning. She recounts her coaching, sport science, and hybrid roles prior to leaving a full-time position to pursue her PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Moore describes sport science as problem-solving and drawing evidence across disciplines to drive innovation. She discusses her research on female athlete availability in elite settings, including nuances like body composition, recovery, and high speed exposure in training. Moore advises young professionals to remain open-minded, pitch their ideal position if it does not exist, and go “all in”— knowing one decision does not define forever. Whether you are a coach or researcher, this episode delivers real-world insights on navigating your career with courage and curiosity. Connect with Sam on Instagram: @sammoorestrong and Twitter/X: @SamMooreStrong | Find Eric on Instagram: @ericmcmahoncscs and LinkedIn: @ericmcmahoncscs  Show Notes“One of the biggest pieces of advice that I feel like was helpful for me in my career was that you can-- if you're good enough at something, somebody will pay you to do it. So, there might not be a job out there that is what you want to do with the description that you want. That's OK. You can go in, and you can sell it.” 18:53 “I think it was my mom that told me whatever choice you make is the right one because it's the one you made, and you don't have to do something forever. You can work a job for one year or for six months, right? […] I think that was really helpful for me to make a switch to that kind of mindset when it comes to my career rather than thinking I had to have it all planned out for the next 10 years at every point and every move.” 24:00 “In terms of any advice for the coaching world […] just being really curious and being transparent about it, I think is really important. And that's what's going to help drive us along.” 39:16

In this candid, unscripted "snack episode," Tracy is interviewed by Miranda, our Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International and the Thriving Practice Community. Tracy shares her practical planning process for helping healthcare practice owners transform their ideas into achievable quarterly goals. She explains how to plan effectively even during uncertainty and maintain enthusiasm while building a practice vision despite challenges.  Key Takeaways:  Tracy's planning process starts with clarity - connecting the what, why, and how of your goals  Emotional connection to goals makes it easier to put in the necessary effort  Beginning with clarity increases speed rather than haste  Break down long-term goals by working backward - from 12 months to 9, 6, 3 months, then to weekly and daily tasks  Breaking goals into smaller chunks prevents feeling overwhelmed  Celebrate daily accomplishments with a "ta-da list" to maintain positive energy and momentum  Look for subtle wins: improved feelings, better sleep, increased energy at work  Lack of patience is a major challenge for healthcare entrepreneurs who want solutions immediately  The importance of "slowing down to speed up" - surrendering to the process brings clarity  Finding your practice's unique edge goes beyond clinical expertise to what makes you stand out in a competitive market  Notable Quotes:  "When we're emotionally connected to a goal, then it's easier for us...to put in the effort and the labor that's required to make something come to fruition."  "Clarity actually helps us increase speed rather than like haste."  "Sometimes when we have big goals, it can feel so overwhelming that we don't even start."  "My coach who trained me taught me about the ta-da list at the end of each day, which is...don't diminish progress."  "When we use this beautiful tool called surrender and we trust the process, that slowing down brings us that clarity that helps us then move forward with more speed."  "What makes you stand out so that you don't feel like it's about competition...Seth Godin calls it Purple Cow. Right? Like, what is it about your practice that makes you unique? And it can't just be your clinical expertise. It's not enough."  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International.

Lewis has returned from some shows performed at his Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Is it part nostalgia trip, or perhaps more an acid flashback. But while Lewis had all the intentions about talking about performing at his college but he got distracted by the news of the week where people are going to have to tighten their belts as both dolls and pencils are going to become sparse as there's a chance AI is picking the new Pope? That doesn't seem odd, right? Oh and now there's news of an expensive military parade, which we hear is a cost-cutting measure. Alright, what's going on?
