Podcast appearances and mentions of Vince Lombardi

Sales success rarely comes from one brilliant play, one miracle client, or one giant deal. It comes from doing the basics repeatedly: prospecting, following up, meeting buyers, tracking activity, and grinding through the boring work other salespeople avoid. Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, talked about the importance of blocking and tackling in American football. The same idea applies in sales. The flashy strategy matters, but if the fundamentals are weak, everything collapses. Why do salespeople need to master the basics? Salespeople need to master the basics because revenue is built on consistent, repeatable activity, not hope. Big deals are wonderful when they land, but they rarely arrive without disciplined prospecting, follow-up, and pipeline management. In sales, the equivalent of blocking and tackling includes cold calling, referral requests, client research, CRM updates, proposal follow-up, and face-to-face buyer contact. These tasks are not glamorous. They are often boring, irritating, and repetitive. Yet in Japan, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, the salespeople who survive downturns are usually those who keep doing the fundamentals while others chase bright shiny objects. Landing the whale client sounds exciting, but years can pass while the promised revenue never appears. Do now: Measure the activity that creates revenue, not just the revenue you hope will appear. Why do talented salespeople sometimes fail? Talented salespeople sometimes fail because intelligence can tempt them to skip the grind. They believe the basics are for lesser mortals and that one clever strategy or major client will rescue the numbers. This is a dangerous mindset in B2B sales, professional services, corporate training, SaaS, consulting, and recruitment. Smart people can talk persuasively about future revenue, strategic accounts, and game-changing opportunities. The problem is simple: until the deal is signed and the money is banked, it is not revenue. Many capable salespeople have left organisations because they preferred impressive possibilities to daily execution. Talent matters, but discipline converts talent into income. Do now: Treat your sales pipeline as evidence, not imagination. If it is not moving, it is not real. How did the pandemic change sales prospecting? The pandemic made sales prospecting harder by pushing buyers out of offices and behind new barriers. Cold calling became more frustrating because receptionists, assistants, and internal gatekeepers often had less access—or less willingness—to connect sellers with decision-makers. Since COVID-19, many clients in Japan and other markets have shifted to hybrid work, remote meetings, and stricter communication filters. Calling the office may produce vague responses, blocked contact details, or a polite refusal to share an email address or phone number. This makes the traditional sales routine more difficult, especially for SMEs and service businesses that depend on new conversations. Yet the need for sales has not disappeared. Business still depends on buyers discovering better solutions, services, and ideas. Do now: Assume the old route to the buyer may be blocked. Build several routes instead. Should tobikomi eigyo make a comeback in Japan? Tobikomi eigyo, or unannounced in-person sales visits, may deserve a careful comeback when phone and email access are blocked. It is not always efficient, but it can create a buyer contact when every digital channel is failing. In Japan, 飛び込み営業 has a long history in sales culture, even though many modern sales teams consider it outdated or inefficient. Post-pandemic, that assumption may need rethinking. If the buyer is back in the office two or three days a week and competitors are not visiting, a professional drop-in can stand out. Not every building allows easy access, especially newer offices with QR codes, reception systems, and security gates. Still, where access is possible, a short visit may create enough human contact to secure a proper appointment later. Do now: Use in-person visits selectively, respectfully, and with a clear reason the buyer should care. How can salespeople respond when gatekeepers block access? Salespeople should respond to gatekeepers with calm persistence, not frustration or arrogance. The aim is to protect the brand while still showing the resilience expected of a serious sales professional. Gatekeepers often believe they are helping the boss by blocking unknown callers, visitors, and sellers. Sometimes they are. But companies also need new suppliers, better services, and fresh ideas, especially during difficult business conditions. A useful response is to acknowledge their viewpoint while reframing the behaviour as the same determined mindset they would want from their own sales team. This approach is particularly important in Japan, where professionalism, politeness, and face-saving matter. Being pushy damages trust; being resilient can earn respect. Do now: Stay polite, firm, and commercially relevant. Never let irritation become the message. What alternatives work when cold calling fails? When cold calling fails, salespeople should create buyer attention through physical mail, referrals, targeted content, and carefully designed outreach. The key is to make the buyer curious within seconds. A mailed package can bypass the phone gatekeeper because assistants may block calls but still deliver physical mail to the executive's desk. The package should not look like ordinary paperwork. A slightly lumpy, relevant, useful item can earn a brief moment of attention. However, the contents must immediately answer the buyer's pressing need. In today's overloaded business environment, attention is narrow. Whether selling training, consulting, software, financial services, or recruitment solutions, the offer must quickly show relevance, urgency, and value. Do now: Design outreach around the buyer's problem, not your product brochure. Final summary Sales is full of boring work, and that is exactly why many people avoid it. Prospecting, tracking, follow-up, gatekeeper navigation, office visits, mailed outreach, and daily discipline are not glamorous. They are the commercial basics that keep businesses alive. The salesperson waiting for the whale client may sound strategic, but the salesperson doing the blocking, tackling, tracking, and grinding is usually the one who survives. In difficult markets, especially post-pandemic Japan, the winners will be those who harden up, return to fundamentals, and keep creating real buyer conversations.

Do you do great work but struggle to consistently get referrals? In this episode, Bill Cates breaks down the exact psychology of borrowed trust and why simply doing a good job doesn't automatically make you referable. We discuss the Triangle of Trust, how to actively train your network to recognize your ideal clients, and why using 1-minute case studies is the ultimate follow-up strategy to stay top of mind. We also dive into why vague intentions produce vague results, the danger of name-dropping irrelevant big clients to win business, and why the old advice of only hire people you'd have a beer with is actually destroying your team's potential. Plus, Bill shares a legendary Vince Lombardi quote that will completely change how you manage your energy and mindset as an entrepreneur.

After playing college ball for the University of Minnesota, Dungy played three seasons in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers. Beginning his coaching career in 1980, Dungy went on to serve as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and later the Indianapolis Colts. He guided the Colts to a Super Bowl victory in 2007.Considered one of the brightest young minds in the NFL, Dungy landed his first head coaching opportunity in 1996, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tapped him to lead the club. For a franchise that had long been the league's doormat, Dungy, with his calm demeanor and ability to connect with players, was a breath of fresh air, bringing both respectability and victories to a team sorely lacking in both areas.However, despite making the Bucs a regular playoff contender, Dungy was fired after the 2001 season. Again, he was not out of work long. In January 2002, the Indianapolis Colts hired Dungy to be its next head coach.During his remarkable seven-year run with the Colts and its star quarterback, Peyton Manning, Dungy turned the franchise into a perennial Super Bowl contender. The Vince Lombardi trophy finally came Dungy's way on February 4, 2007, when the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI, 29-17, in Miami.The victory made Dungy the first African American to coach a Super Bowl–winning club. It also made him just the third person in NFL history to win a title as a player and as a head coach.Following the 2008 season, and after 31 seasons patrolling an NFL sideline, Dungy retired from coaching.Since stepping down as head coach of the Colts, Dungy has worked as an analyst for NBC's "Football Night in America." In addition, Dungy, a committed Christian, has remained active in a number of charitable causes, including Big Brothers and Big Sisters and the Prison Crusade Ministry.Recommended reading inspired by Tony Dungy:

Industrial water professionals often think about water in terms of treatment, compliance, reuse, and operational risk. John Durand brings a different but closely connected view: water as infrastructure, water as a managed resource, and water as a strategic part of energy development.  John Durand, one of the early pioneers of the water midstream sector and CEO of Magnificent Desolation, LLC, joins Trace Blackmore to explain how produced water moved from a disposal challenge to a large-scale infrastructure opportunity.  From Disposal Model to Managed Resource  John describes how the growth of horizontal drilling changed the scale of water management in the Permian Basin. A vertical well once used a fraction of the water required for today's horizontal wells, creating a need for pipelines, reuse systems, recycling strategies, and long-term infrastructure planning.  He explains that the water midstream sector emerged because the old approach—trucking water or simply sending it to disposal—could not keep pace with the volume. Today, the conversation has shifted toward produced water reuse, recycling, and the search for beneficial uses outside of oil and gas.  Produced Water, Salinity, and Future Use  John notes that produced water can carry very high salinity, sometimes many times higher than seawater. That creates treatment challenges, especially when thinking beyond oilfield reuse and toward broader industrial applications.  He also points to future opportunities for produced water in data centers, electric generation, cooling applications, and possibly other beneficial reuse pathways. The key message is clear: water once treated as waste may become an important resource if the industry continues to innovate responsibly.  Infrastructure, Trust, and Public-Private Partnerships  Beyond pipelines and treatment, John emphasizes the role of relationships. He shares examples from Midland and Odessa, where long-term water supply arrangements and wastewater treatment infrastructure created value for both communities and industry.  For water professionals, the lesson extends beyond oilfield water. Large infrastructure projects require technical expertise, capital, public trust, and long-term credibility. John's experience shows that durable solutions depend as much on trust and collaboration as they do on engineering.  Staying Curious in a Changing Industry  John closes with a practical leadership reminder: stay curious, ask better questions, and keep learning. Whether the topic is produced water, AI, energy independence, or infrastructure, he encourages professionals to dig deeper and continue expanding their understanding.  Listen to the full conversation above.

Steve Cadigan is a global talent strategist, author of "Workquake: Embracing the Aftershocks of COVID-19 to Create a Better Model of Working," and LinkedIn's founding Chief HR Officer. Steve believes the world of work is going through a "workquake" — a fundamental shift that's breaking the old employer-employee contract. At the core of it is a false premise: the idea of long-term loyalty that neither side can reliably keep. In this conversation, Steve explains why many of the world's most successful companies have surprisingly short employee tenure, why the workforce isn't disloyal but loyal to growth, and why leaders should focus less on retention and more on creating meaningful development while people are with them. For leaders navigating turnover and rapid change, this episode offers a more honest way to think about talent and what it actually takes to build teams that perform.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Steve Cadigan on Retention Is Dead: The Workquake Reshaping Talent https://bit.ly/TLP-506 Key Takeaways [03:40] Steve defines a workquake as any shift so fundamental it renders the existing architecture of work obsolete. [04:46] Steve argues that most employer-employee relationships begin on a false premise — and that dishonesty is where the breakdown starts. [06:42] Steve reframes retention: instead of demanding loyalty, commit to making the employee's time with you the most growth-oriented chapter of their career. [09:12] Steve uses Chick-fil-A as a model for honest talent strategy — celebrating alumni, not just retaining them. [17:42] Steve explains how LinkedIn turned its recruiting struggle into a competitive advantage by aligning the employee experience with the product promise. [26:26] Steve warns that over-indexing on experience and ignoring transferable talent is one of the most costly mistakes leaders make today. [30:36] Steve makes the case that learning must be designed into work itself — not treated as a perk or a line item that gets cut first. [33:53] Steve challenges leaders to ask honestly which companies today are actually building for 100 years — and why so few are. [38:14] Steve argues that AI is being misused as a cost-cutting tool when its real power is making people more capable, not replacing them. [41:13] Steve leaves leaders with one directive: stop waiting for a benchmark that doesn't exist — and be willing to become one. [42:58] And remember..."Nonetheless, the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." - Vince Lombardi. Quotable Quotes "If you want people here because they want to be here, you're running a company. If you don't, you're running a prison." "The workforce is incredibly loyal — just not to you. They're loyal to growth." "If your talent strategy is not changing as fast as the outside world, your employee relationship is near its end." "If the outside world is changing faster than the inside, the end is near." "You can't have a job today that takes someone five years to figure out." "We have so over-indexed on experience and so overlooked talent." "There is no benchmarking for this moment — you're going to have to be the benchmark." "People want to be on teams that are going somewhere."

SEASON 4 EPISODE 73: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: I have figured out what might be the weirdest most pointless delusion of Trump's second term: his claim "Vince Lombardi - I knew him." Trump was just 21, in college, and living with his parents in Queens the day the most legendary figure in football in the '60s retired as coach of The Green Bay Packers. More over, the first time he claimed he knew him was a decade ago, filled with details of witnessing Lombardi grab players by the shirt and not getting beat up because he was a winner. Where? How? He never explained. Of course he didn't. He probably saw it on television. So why does he believe he met Vince Lombardi? Because he DID meet Vince Lombardi. Only - not THAT Vince Lombardi. He met Vince Lombardi, JUNIOR, son of the legendary coach. Vince Lombardi Jr. was an executive in the United States Football League while Trump owned the New Jersey Generals of that league. Lombardi Jr. recounts meeting Trump (Trump was a jerk) in Jeff Pearlman's perfect book "Football For A Buck." By this standard, I ALSO KNEW VINCE LOMBARDI. The younger was a negotiator for the owners during the NFL Strike of 1982 that I covered for CNN. But in the 44 years since I met him I never conflated him with his father. THIS IS NOT THE LEAD STORY, it's just maddening. The lead? Trump and Hegseth and Rubio may be sending thousands of American troops into an ambush in Iran. Not that they care. The conservative publication “The Washington Post” reports Pentagon plans for thousands of Marines and other personnel conducting weeks of raids while Rubio insists it’s going so well, we’ll never need boots on the ground. But Trump and Hegseth and Rubio may be wildly exaggerating how EFFECTIVELY America has degraded Iran’s military capacities AND wildly underrating how effective Iran has been destroying American equipment – especially aircraft.The Pentagon said an AWACS – the giant command and control plane – was “damaged” while parked on an airfield in Saudi Arabia. Photos have leaked. The back half of the AWACs was blown off. Iran is successfully conducting a war designed to destroy our PLANES on the ground, and control or neutralize wherever American troops intend to land or be based. AND THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL doesn't know it is against federal law to send troops (or other "armed men") to a polling station during an election. Five years in jail for sending them, Todd Blanche. Losing eligibility for all offices or honors, Donald Trump. B-Block (36:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Bill Maher wins The Shania Twain Prize For Humor. I think I have that right. Laura Loomer takes a terrible risk invoking the term "a slap in the face" given what she's done to her own face. And who's worse? Scott Jennings (now accused by three fellow guests of faking his anti-Trump hysteria) or Abby Phillip (who lets her name be used on the grotesque CNN show where Jennings allegedly lies)? C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I mean this question literally: Whatever happened to Rudy Giuliani? Not that I miss him, not that I'm worried. It's just - he's vanished, hasn't he?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Only 2.5% of contractors finish on time and on budget. Here's what they do before the job starts. In this episode, Eric Anderton breaks down Part 1 of FMI's 2025 Project Management Study — 243 executives, 84 PMs, real contractors, real numbers. What they found isn't revolutionary. It's the same truth Vince Lombardi was teaching in 1959. Preparation before the work starts. Accountability to a consistent standard. Everyone owning their role before the first crew hits the job site. The three things separating high performers from everyone else: PM involvement in estimating, structured pre-execution planning, and field buy-in before mobilization. The one role responsible for making all three happen — or failing to — is your project executive. Three Numbers Every Owner Should Know PM involvement in estimating → margin attainment jumps from 55% to 78% Thorough pre-execution planning → profit margins hit 81% vs. 50% of the time Strong field alignment → on-time/early completion 76% vs. 58% of the time   Hosted by Eric Anderton — leadership coach, executive coach, and 20+ year veteran of the construction industry.   FMI 2025 Study: https://fmicorp.com/insights/thought-leadership/2025-project-management-study-part-1 Executive coaching for your PX — book a call: https://10minuteswitheric.youcanbook.me/ Construction Genius book: https://www.amazon.com/Construction-Genius-Effective-Hands-Leadership/dp/B0BHTRDY1T/ The Shift leadership course: https://theshift.constructiongenius.com/  

A rare, honest, no‑nonsense conversation inside the Vince Lombardi Boardroom in Lambeau Field. In this special episode, Steve sits down with Cliff Christl, the official Green Bay Packers historian and the world's foremost authority on the team's past. For Steve, Cliff is a personal hero—and this interview reflects that mix of admiration, curiosity, and deep respect. This isn't clickbait. It's not a highlight reel. It's a real conversation between two people who care deeply about the history and soul of the Green Bay Packers. Together, they explore: • Cliff's early career and how he became the definitive voice on Packers history. • The gritty, unpolished origins of the franchise. • Vince Lombardi's legacy—beyond the mythology. • The Packers' surprising and meaningful connections to Ireland and the Irish community. If you love the Packers for more than just the scoreboard—if you care about the stories, the people, and the truth—this is an interview you'll want to watch from start to finish.

Former NFL Lineman Geoff Schwartz joins the show to tell the story of how his wedding day landed on the same day as legal tampering. How he was with his groomsmen, readying to walk the aisle while making the decision to join the NY Giants. Then Geoff gives his thoughts on why having a star center and star tight end is the latest chapter in the continuing evolution of professional football. He says it's in response to the plethora of incredible pass rushers. He adds that all the talk about how hard it is on the players to move is ridiculous. You're rich. You're fine. Then Director Bryan Bishop stops by to chat the Academy Awards. His documentary, Growth, is a must watch. He says One Battle After Another is a lock, and thinks that the drop off of Hamnet is for the best. As Vince Lombardi once said, "It ain't bragging if you done it."

February 25, 2026Today's Reading: Hebrews 4:14-16Daily Lectionary: Genesis 8:13-9:17; Genesis 9:18-11:26; Mark 4:1-20“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.It could be argued that the best coaches in professional sports are the ones who've been athletes on the field. Vince Lombardi, one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time (that Super Bowl trophy is named after him), understood that playing experience helped to make him a better coach. He once said, “Coaches who can outline plays on a blackboard are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.”Can the same be said about Jesus Christ? Is He able to motivate us because He knows what it's like to be human? Is that what makes Him such a great savior... because He doesn't expect us to do anything that He hasn't done Himself?   It's certainly encouraging that Jesus knows what it's like to be human because He is an actual human being! He was conceived, grew, and developed in His mother's womb. He was born and continued to grow from childhood into adulthood, just like human beings do. Throughout His life on earth, He experienced hunger, weariness, sadness, and anger. In every respect, He knows what it's like to be human, and yet He lived His life without sin. He can sympathize with our weaknesses, but He hasn't excused them. It's not like after His 33-year stint on earth, He reported back to His Father, “You know what, that was really hard. I think the expectation You have from them is just too high. You need to lower Your standards and give them some credit for trying real hard. I barely made it. You can't expect them to do much better.” Jesus came in the flesh, not to motivate. He came in the flesh as our substitute- to take our place under God's wrath against sin. He came to cover your sin with His righteousness. If He had not done this, we could never approach His throne of grace with confidence. Instead, we would live our lives in constant fear and trepidation, wondering if we've lived our lives “good enough” to be accepted by Him. Because Christ is our Great High Priest, who has succeeded where we have fallen short and showered us with God's grace and mercy, we have great confidence and hold fast the confession of faith that's been revealed to us. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O Christ, You walked the road Our wand'ring feet must go. Stay with us through temptation's hour To fight our ancient foe. (LSB 424: 5) Rev.

It's always fascinating to listen to Bill Curry as he reminisces about his legendary career, the people and teams he played for and discusses the status of pro and college football today. Bill is a two-time Super Bowl champion who played 10 seasons in the NFL primarily with the Green Bay Packers, and the Baltimore Colts,.  He participated in Super Bowls I, III and V and played for coaches Vince Lombardi and Don Shula. As a coach himself, Bill was the head football coach at his alma mater Georgia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky, winning the 1989 Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year award. He also was the head coach at Georgia State University when the school launched its football program in 2010.

Running It Back Super Bowl XL Preview! It's Media Week 2026, and while the league builds the stage for Super Bowl XL, a coaching "Red Wedding" has left the NFL landscape looking like a chaotic game of musical chairs. In this episode, Mike Palmer and Tarlin Ray break down the fallout of the massive coaching turnover and a Super Bowl matchup defined by redemption stories and "Harvard-style" job interviews. The guys dive deep into the hiring trends of the year—from the rise of the quarterback-influenced front office to the confusing lockout of the winningest coach in history from the Hall of Fame . We're also paying homage to the 11th anniversary of the 2015 Marshawn Lynch era, reminding everyone that sometimes—"We're just here so we don't get fined" . Key Takeaways:

Nu er der blot få dage til Super Bowl 60! Patriots er tilbage i Super Bowl for 12. gang og har chancen for at vinde deres syvende Vince Lombardi-trofæ. Seahawks har været i Super Bowl tre gange tidligere og kan vinde deres trofæ nummer to og samtidig få revanche for nederlaget til Patriots i 2014. Vi tager et kig på de to hold. Hvad bragte dem til Super Bowl? Hvad taler for og imod, at de går hele vejen? Og hvad med de to head coaches, Mike McDonald og Mike Vrabel. Hvad har de egentlig at gøre godt med, og hvad er deres holds styrker og svagheder? Hvad er de afgørende nøgle-matchups? Det dykker vi ned i, ligesom vi selvfølgelig også taler MVP-awards og Hall of Fame, som Bill Belichick altså – noget overraskende og temmelig skandaløst – ikke får lov at komme ind i i første hug. Derudover taler vi blandt andet om de seneste head coach-hyringer: Bills har forfremme internt, hvor ny cheftræner er Joe Brady. Todd Monken har slået til i Cleveland og er den nye mand i spidsen for Browns. Og senest har Mike LaFleur skrevet under med Cardinals. Dermed er Raiders altså det eneste hold uden head coach – men alt tyder på, at det bliver Seahawks' offensive koordinator Klint Kubiak, der kommer til at skrive under på dén kontrakt umiddelbart efter Super Bowl. Det og meget mere! Vært: Thomas Qvortrup. Medvært: Claus Elming. NFL Showet produceres som altid i samarbejde med www.taffel.dk & www.oddset.dk fra Danske Licens Spil (18+).

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley calls believers back to the bedrock of Christian faith: doctrine rooted in the Word of God. While many come to faith through the local church, Easley argues that too few believers develop a biblical worldview strong enough to withstand cultural pressure. Salvation must be settled—anchored in Christ alone—but growth requires more than experience or emotion. It requires truth. Tracing the cultural shift from theism to humanism, modernity, and postmodern relativism, Easley explains how truth has been diluted and authority rejected. Words like tolerance, inclusion, and equality, while common in modern language, carry meanings shaped by the world—not Scripture. When believers adopt these definitions uncritically, theology quietly erodes. Easley warns that doctrinal drift rarely happens through sudden rebellion but through slow, subtle shifts—like tectonic plates beneath the surface. Using Scripture from 2 Timothy and the teaching authority of Jesus in Mark's Gospel, he reminds listeners that truth is not subjective and doctrine is not optional. Just as Vince Lombardi returned his team to the fundamentals, Easley urges Christians to return to the basics: God has spoken, His Word is authoritative, and belief must shape life. Why you believe what you believe is not merely important—it is crucial. Takeaways Salvation must be settled once for all, grounded in Christ alone with full assurance. Experience without theology leaves believers vulnerable to cultural confusion. The world's definitions of truth, tolerance, and equality are not biblical by default. Doctrinal drift happens slowly when believers stop grounding themselves in Scripture. Truth and authority belong together because God has spoken clearly in His Word. A “gentle dogmatism” rooted in Scripture is essential for faithful Christian living today. To read the bible online, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

On the eve of, what could be, the Packers/ Bears "make or break game of the 2025  season, Bears Vice President, grandson of George Halas, and Chairman of Sports Faith International Patrick McCaskey discusses the Legacy of his family's team, the Chicago Bears,  and the role of their formation of the NFL. The interview features great insight into the Bears/Packers relationship throughout the years,  as characterized by George Papa Bear Halas, his deep friendship with Vince Lombardi, and the importance of Faith in their lives.   Interview conducted by A.J. Shaw. 

From 2009- John Eisenberg, author of 'That First Season: How Vince Lombardi Took the Worst Team in the NFL and Set It on the Path to Glory." We're replaying this interview as the Packers look forward to a very significant showdown with one of their division rivals, the resurgent Chicago Bears.

Stu Levitan welcomes Cary Segall  for a conversation about his engaging new book A Talk in the Woods: Voices Along the Appalachian Trail (Back Burner Books), recounting stories of the people he met along the world's longest hiking-only trail. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the mid-1930s, the 2,197.4-mile Appalachian Trail runs through 14 states, from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. More than three million people hike segments each year; fewer than one thousand earn the designation of thru-hiker, walking the entire trail within fifty-two weeks. Cary Segall set out in 2014 to become a thru-hiker, but  soon took such enjoyment talking to his fellow hikers -- most with trail names like Deacon, Northstar, Birdman, Gearhead, Leave No Tracy, Mama Bear and the Cubs --that he took the time to interview them; every so often, he'd use the computer at a public library the trail was passing to write their stories. That slowed him down, so he only got to New York that first year; illness, injury and bad weather stymied his efforts in 2015-2017, but he finally summited in 2018. Impressive and no doubt satisfying, but nowhere near as extraordinary as what Segall, 75, accomplished on Nov. 9  – completing the Madison Marathon 26 days after a UW doctor replaced his defective aortic valve. That was on top of about 80 prior marathons in  31 states, plus a record 44 straight 20-mile Syttende Mai races. Segall began his racing and writing careers at Green Bay East High School, where he ran cross-country and was sports editor of the Hi-Light newspaper. He was also both a stringer and delivery boy for the Press Gazette, and delivered Vince Lombardi's Sunday Milwaukee Journal. Before joining the State Journal, Segall applied his UW degree in wildlife ecology as a ranger-naturalist for the National Park Service, and his UW law degree as a public interest environmental lawyer before quitting to raise his newborn son Craig, with whom he would later do much hiking.  

Join host Mike Ritland on Mike Drop Podcast for an unflinching conversation with Nick O'Kelly, a retired Green Beret turned Night Stalkers Black Hawk pilot from the elite 160th SOAR. From the high-stakes chaos of his first combat insertion—where a last-second sharp turn into a dusty, high-speed landing pushed the limits of control—to the invisible war he fought against crippling suicidal ideation that began in flight school, Nick pulls no punches. His debut book Stigma, releasing October 21st, exposes the raw truth behind mental health struggles in special operations. Nick traces his path from a strict Christian upbringing in Washington state, through SF selection and Okinawa deployments, to mastering aviation amid family pressures and a newborn son. He shares the culture shock of warrant officer training, the adrenaline of Everest Base Camp treks, and the surreal focus of flying tier-one operators under fire. Faith, perfectionism, and Vince Lombardi's pursuit of excellence weave through his story of resilience. As Covid extended his final deployment, knee surgery grounded him and forced a reckoning with anxiety, panic disorders, and systemic failures in military mental health care. Nick's journey from zombie-like survival to revival highlights the cost of silence—and the power of speaking out. Essential listening for anyone in high-performance worlds.

Send me a Text Message!In talking about his football team, the legendary coach Vince Lombardi once said, "The difference between mediocrity and greatness is the feeling these guys have for each other. If you're going to play together as a team, you've got to care for one another." In some ways, he was just echoing the words of Jesus, when Jesus said that people would know; there would be an unmistakeable recognition that we are his apprentices by the quality of our love and the size of our hearts. When they see that they will know. But let's be honest, sometimes, love hurts and relationships are hard and we get offended.When that comes we have to choose between murder or reconcilation. And I'm only half kidding. God is looking for reconcilers to be the light of the world.

Glass half full, Bill Belichick - at least now you know she's not into you for your coaching. Must be your rugged good looks. What we all already knew before last weekend even kicked off - there are only four or maybe five of those teams with an actual chance of winning the national championship. College football's great.. except for the end part, when the elites head behind the velvet ropes into the vip area and everybody else gets to fight over Poptart and Mayo bowls. What's the biggest surprise in the last half century in college football? BYU in '84, Howard Schnellenberger & Bernie Kosar beating Nebraska in the '84 Orange Bowl. And... that's it. Compare that with the NFL - where the unimaginable is the norm, and I don't just mean the Dallas Cowboys trading their best player to their rival since the days of the ice bowl. The Micah Parsons deal wasn't so much unimaginable as it was un-smart. For all our collective focus on pro football, there are still things that no one sees coming. I was thinking about how often the NFL's turned me into Vince Lombardi, asking what the hell I'm looking at. The biggest surprises of the last 60 yrs of the super bowl era are that the three best QBs of the super bowl era are a six round draft pick, a 3rd round draft pick from Pennsylvania named Montana, and a QB who was drafted behind Mitchell Trubisky. The O.G. Of improbability is of course the Jets beating the Colts in super bowl 3. Broadway Joe may have shared his bed with half the women of Manhattan, but it was unimaginable anyone from the AFL could get to first base with the Lombardi. To be accurate, the trophy wasn't named the Lombardi til 1970, after Namath had won it. But then again, if the Cowboys had survived the Ice Bowl in ‘67 then won the second super bowl, that trophy might now be called the Landry. Imagine that.

The best team in the NFL in the 60's was Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers. They won NFL Championships in 1961, 1962 & 1965 and the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967. They were littered with future Hall of Famers throughout the roster including Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Ray Nitschke, Herb Adderley, Willie Davis, Jim Ringo, Paul Horning and Willie Wood… but the leader of that team was the QB, Bart Starr who guided the team to those 5 titles in 7 years. The Hall of Fame QB was now back in Green Bay as the coach and GM trying to revitalize an organization that hadn't seen much success since Starr retired prior to the 1972 season. He didn't want to be seen as the savior and was not comfortable being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but that's right where he was on the 25th of August 1975. For Starr, his 9 years back in Green Bay as the head coach could never replicate what he had done as a player a decade earlier. And that surprised some of his former teammates who thought Starr would have tremendous success as a coach. And that included the man who snapped the ball to Starr for two seasons… The 1965 NFL Championship season as well as the win in the first Super Bowl played against the Chiefs. Bill Curry was as close to Starr as you could be as a player with Starr lining up over center for those two seasons. Now, 60 years later, Curry looks back on those years playing alongside Starr as a rookie and how the veteran quarterback welcomed him to the team and paved the way for a lifelong friendship. Curry would go on to quite an NFL career himself becoming a 2-time Pro Bowl Center with the Colts and winning not only that first SB with the Packers, but another with Baltimore in Super Bowl 5. And when his playing days were over, he worked with Starr on his staff as an offensive line coach before taking the head coaching job at Georgia Tech in 1980. After 6 years with the Rambling Wreck, he went to Bama and guided the Crimson Tide for three seasons before going to Kentucky for 7 seasons and ending his coaching career at Georgia State in 2012. Drafted in the 20th round as an undersized center out of Georgia Tech, Curry was a fish out of water in Green Bay in the summer of '65 until encounters with both Bart Starr and the captain of the defense, Willie Davis changed his life. As Curry puts it, “Unexpected, undeserved, unrewarded acts of kindness change lives.” And they changed his for sure. He talks glowingly about his time in Green Bay and how he fell in love with the community that is like no there in the country. He tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how Starr became a mentor and Wiilie Davis a man he came to respect like no other. And he talks about how forgiveness can set you free… something Coach Lombardi did for him on his death bed. Every once in a while you come across someone who instantly makes your life better. For Curry, that was Bart Starr in 1965. And 60 years later, Curry is paying that forward making an impact on the lives of people he comes in contact with… or in our case, talks with, every day. A powerful, inspirational conversation with a man who was a part of the most legendary football team ever assembled…  The 1960's Green Bay Packers. Bill Curry on the Past Our Prime podcast.

In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sit down with Dr. Philip A. Glotzbach, former President of Skidmore College, philosopher, and passionate advocate for the liberal arts, to talk about how students can get the most out of their college experience — and why it's about far more than getting a job. His latest book, Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life, is both a practical guide and a philosophical invitation to use higher education as a launchpad for a meaningful life. His message: Embrace freedom. Your college years are a time to be curious, explore ideas, build relationships, and learn to love freedom. A Life in Education and Leadership Dr. Glotzbach's journey began at the University of Notre Dame, where he discovered a love for philosophy, and continued at Yale University, where he earned his Ph.D. and fell in love with teaching. After 15 years as a philosophy professor at Denison University, he moved into administration, eventually becoming President of Skidmore College for 17 years. Throughout his career, one question has guided him: What can we do to give students the best chance at a meaningful life? The answer, for him, blends intellectual development, personal responsibility, and civic engagement — themes woven into his convocation talks to new students, which eventually became the foundation for Embrace Your Freedom. Why College Is a One-Time Opportunity to Embrace Freedom College, Dr. Glotzbach says, is a singular moment in life — “you get one shot at being an undergraduate.” It's a time for “test-driving your adult self,” exploring big questions, and deciding what kind of person you want to be, as well as what kind of world you want to help create. Too often, students see college only as a steppingstone to employment. While preparing for a career matters, narrowing your focus too early shortens the shelf life of your skills. Today's graduates will likely change not just jobs but entire careers multiple times. The broader your education, the better equipped you'll be to adapt to an unpredictable future. Watch our podcast on YouTube here: From Negative Freedom to Positive Freedom One of the book's central ideas is the shift from “negative freedom” — the absence of external constraints — to “positive freedom,” which is about deciding what you will do with that freedom. Positive freedom requires embracing structure and responsibility to pursue meaningful goals. Dr. Glotzbach compares it to training for a marathon: you give up certain freedoms (like sleeping late) in exchange for the discipline that makes your goal achievable. In college, that means setting intentional objectives — for your courses, your extracurriculars, your relationships — and committing fully to them. Begin Now — And Begin Again If there's one mantra Dr. Glotzbach wants every student to remember, it's Begin now. Your college career doesn't start “later” — it starts the moment you arrive on campus. Don't wait for the second semester or sophomore year to get serious. That doesn't mean you won't face setbacks. Everyone stumbles. The key is to begin again — to get back up, recommit, and move forward. “The most important thing is not how many times you get knocked down,” he says, quoting Vince Lombardi, “but how many times you get back up.” The Liberal Arts Advantage for Embracing Freedom As a philosopher and liberal arts leader, Dr. Glotzbach believes deeply in the value of studying broadly. Liberal arts disciplines develop critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and the ability to synthesize perspectives — skills essential for solving the “wicked problems” of our time. One of his favorite quotes, from Horace Mann, is a call to action: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” For Dr. Glotzbach, college is a privilege held by a small percentage of the global population, and with that privilege comes a responsibility to contribute to the greater good. Relationships Over Transactions Dr. Glotzbach warns against treating college as an “educational ATM,” where you deposit tuition and withdraw a diploma. That transactional mindset robs you of the deeper value of the experience. College is about relationships — with people, with ideas, and with the skills you are developing. Friendships formed during college often become lifelong connections. These relationships — your first as an independent adult — are a key part of the transformation that happens during these years. Learning in the Age of AI Today's students must also navigate the opportunities and challenges of new technologies, including AI. While AI can be a powerful tool, relying on it too heavily during your studies can short-circuit the development of critical thinking and analytical skills. Dr. Glotzbach stresses the importance of reading and thinking critically — whether the material was written by a human 200 years ago or generated by AI yesterday. Advice for Students and Parents For students: approach college as a unique opportunity for growth. Be open to new ideas, seek out mentors, engage in campus life, and treat every class, project, and relationship as a chance to find meaning. For parents: remember that your child's education is not only about employment prospects but also about becoming a thoughtful, engaged, and adaptable human being. Get the Book Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and other major booksellers, as well as through Dr. Glotzbach's website: www.philipglotzbach.com. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or simply someone who values lifelong learning, this book offers a thoughtful, inspiring, and practical guide to making the most of one of life's most important chapters.  Connect with me: Website: www.simonassociates.net Email: info@simonassociates.net Books:  Learn more about our books here: Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business Women Mean Business: Over 500 Insights from Extraordinary Leaders to Spark Your Success On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights Listen + Subscribe: Available wherever you get your podcasts—Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more.
