Jesse once caught a white mouse in the bar and, rather than kill it, let it go underneath the wooden deck at the place across the street. He stands by this. Also: rank choice voting, the Heavy Metal magazine Trump-wall cartoon from the 90s, a nephew's gas station hallucination situation, and Gen Z apparently being the first generation to score lower than the one before it.

Welcome to LIFTS, where we explore the future of fitness, wellness, and human performance. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Mark Hartnett-Morgan (ATHX Games), Nicolas Denby (GymSync), Emily Leroux (DEKA International), and George Crook (HYROX Training Zones) to explore one of the most significant trends reshaping the fitness industry today: the rise of competition fitness. What started as a niche category has rapidly evolved into a global movement. HYROX events are selling out around the world, DEKA continues to expand internationally, and more operators are beginning to rethink how they design facilities, build communities, and engage members through performance-driven experiences. This conversation explores whether competition fitness is simply another industry trend or a fundamental shift in consumer behaviour that will permanently influence the future of gyms, fitness clubs, and training facilities. The panel examines how competition-based formats are creating new opportunities for operators to drive member acquisition, improve retention, strengthen community, and provide members with measurable goals beyond traditional fitness programming. The discussion also dives into the evolution of fitness events, the growth of dedicated competition training spaces, and the increasing role that challenges, races, and performance experiences play in motivating members to stay engaged over the long term. The guests share insights from ATHX, DEKA, HYROX, and GymSync, discussing how operators can successfully integrate competition fitness into their businesses without losing sight of the broader member experience. For fitness operators, gym owners, investors, coaches, and industry leaders, this episode offers valuable insight into one of the fastest-growing movements in the fitness industry and what it could mean for the future of gym design, programming, and member engagement. In this episode, we cover: Why competition fitness is growing so rapidly The HYROX effect and its impact on gyms worldwide Whether competition fitness is a fad or a long-term movement How events drive member acquisition and retention Why operators may need a competition fitness strategy The future of training zones, fitness tourism, and performance communities

In episode 2 of the 3% Shift series, Chris and Mark go deeper than the identity gap they named in episode 1, into what happens when the most powerful technology ever built quietly trains itself to mirror your insecurities back at you. The higher up the org chart you sit, the faster the loop accelerates. AI doesn't just hand you an echo chamber. It hands the C-suite a long, slow, well-funded death propped up by an assistant that always says yes.

This week we're taking a break from InSights and Take the Stage to bring you a replay of Lunch with Haley, hosted by Brad Smith (Chief Strategy Officer, Haley Marketing).

About the Guest Brad Smith is the Chief Strategy Officer at Haley Marketing and a Certified Inbound Marketing professional who has helped hundreds of staffing and recruiting firms implement effective digital marketing strategies. He specializes in translating emerging marketing trends and technologies into practical growth strategies for staffing organizations. Key Takeaways Consistency creates opportunities that luck cannot.

Most teams can identify friction in their customer experience. The challenge is convincing leadership to invest in fixing it. Digital leaders from Walmart, FanDuel, US Bank, and American Eagle have all faced that challenge. In this encore episode, hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino revisit key lessons on elevating frictionless experiences to the C-suite and reveal what separates ideas that get funded from those that don't.Vijay Jayaraman from Walmart explains how teams use peak events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday to quantify the impact of customer experience issues before they become major business problems. Shawn Sheely from US Bank shares how his team reframed accessibility from a compliance requirement into a billion-dollar market opportunity, helping reduce onboarding costs by 70%.Catherine Gignac from American Eagle offers a powerful perspective on designers as connectors, bringing together the work of dozens of stakeholders into a single customer experience.Scott Smith from FanDuel challenges a common assumption: stop obsessing over competitors. Your customers chose your brand for a reason. Instead of copying what others are doing, focus on understanding why your customers engage with you and what keeps them coming back.You'll also hear practical insights on measuring friction, defining the "spine" of an experience, interpreting customer behavior data, and translating customer pain points into business outcomes that executives care about.Key Actionable Takeaways:Quantify friction using peak seasonal periods to justify investment - A problem affecting 10,000 Walmart users today could impact millions on Black Friday; use known high-traffic events to correlate current issues with future revenue impact and demonstrate why fixing seemingly trivial problems matters nowReframe compliance as market opportunity not checkbox - US Bank saw accessibility as a billion-dollar market rather than legal requirement, reduced onboarding costs 70%, and opened entirely new customer channels by simplifying experiences for assistive technology usersPrioritize customer voice over competitive benchmarking - Your customers chose you because your brand resonates with them specifically; copying competitor journeys misses the point because their customers are fundamentally different people with different needs and preferencesWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/ Download the Five Step Site Speed Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookDom Costa's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/dominickcosta  Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chuck-moxley Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(03:18) Quantifying friction(06:20) Vijay peak periods(11:10) Black Friday first impressions(15:15) Scott traffic conversions(20:40) Sean accessibility market(27:00) Compliance reframe(31:25) Team alignment(38:00) Katherine designers as builders(43:40) Voice of customer(45:25) Customer vs competitor focus(53:15) Vijay customer first(57:00) Katherine friction tools(01:01:20) Data interpretation(01:03:31) Conclusion

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk with author, former professional runner for the Nike Oregon Project and current Irish national runner, and Stanford medical student Mary Cain about her memoir: This is Not About Running. We ask her about her youth, growing up in an abusive athletics system, training for Alberto Salazar as a high schooler. We also talk about her work with Atalanta NYC and The Athlete's Survivors' Assist, her growth and the many hats she wears as a survivor, leader, mentor, student and professional runner. She speaks on what she wishes for young runners today, the challenges we face and where the conversation should be going to enact concrete change.About the BookIn THIS IS NOT ABOUT RUNNING Cain shares her whole story, offering never-before told details and perspective to shed light on the normalized abuse in sports, and advocating for a better future for athletes. Cain is fearless in her storytelling. She has a passion for writing and each short chapter of the book recounts a vignette in present tense, bringing the reader alongside her. She gains speed, notches wins, and excels in school—and encounters cruelty and abuse starting early on and becoming deeper and darker throughout her time running for Nike. The memoir is aptly organized into 5 gripping parts of Mary Cain's young life and they are titled Talent, Rookie, Competitor, Professional and Champion.This episode and book comes with trigger warnings on disordered eating, body shaming, sexual harassment, abuse, self-harm, mental health episodes and suicidal ideation.About Mary CainMary Cain is a medical student at Stanford University School of Medicine. After sharing her story with the world in a 2019 New York Times op-ed, Cain has dedicated her career to driving change in sport, with an emphasis on athlete well-being and gender equity. She is the founder of Atalanta NYC, a nonprofit that employs professional female runners to serve as mentors for young girls, and serves on the board of The Athlete Survivors' Assist (formerly known as The Army of Survivors), a nonprofit that brings awareness, accountability, and transparency to sexual violence against athletes at all levels. She is also a runner. Cain had a record-breaking professional running career that included becoming the 2014 World Junior Champion in the 3000m and a 2013 World Championships finalist in the 1500m.Link for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOK Discount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

https://teachhoops.com/ What does it actually take to build a basketball program that stands the test of time? In this foundational episode, we pull back the curtain on the core philosophies that have driven our gym for over two decades. We step directly into the "Truth Room" to challenge the conventional wisdom of modern coaching and address the subtle "culture leaks" that can sink a season before the first snowflake hits the ground. We discuss why true coaching isn't about being the loudest voice in the gym or running a scripted "joystick" offense. Instead, it's about establishing an unyielding Standard of Tolerance, maximizing your practice Rep Density, and building a self-policing locker room of Level 4 Competitors who are compelled to hunt excellence when nobody is watching. If your players are constantly looking at the sideline for your approval before they make a pass or take a shot, you haven't built a team—you've built a group of compliant robots. The Trap: It is seductive to try and control every single variable from the bench. But when the crowd gets loud or a tough rival hits you with a 10-0 run, a coach-fed team will malfunction. The Socratic Shift: To build real Decision IQ, we have to stop giving our players all the answers. We must use our voice as a precise signal rather than constant background noise, asking the questions that force them to read the floor and solve the puzzle in real-time. Every tactical choice we make—whether we are executing a disciplined Princeton Offense, running a wide-open Dribble Drive, or shifting into a trapping zone defense—must be anchored in data, not emotional guesswork. Our primary offensive goal on every single possession is to maximize our Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): The Paint Touch Mandate: The analytics don't lie. When the ball touches the paint via a deep post feed or a downhill drive, the defensive shell is forced to collapse. This transforms a highly contested, rushed shot into a high-probability, inside-out rhythm 3. You can tell the true character of a program by looking at what they celebrate. In a championship culture, an unselfish extra pass or a violent, high-hands deflection on defense is treated with the exact same enthusiasm as a breakaway dunk. Building Resilience Equity: Winning tight games in March isn't a byproduct of a magical baseline out-of-bounds play. It is the mathematical result of the "Resilience Equity" your kids built during a grueling Tuesday practice in January, choosing to embrace the muck and grind together. Coach's Note: "A transactional coach focuses entirely on what they can extract from a kid for four quarters on Friday night. A transformational coach focuses on the standard they can instill in that kid for the next thirty years of their life. Hold the line, protect the vision, and let the scoreboard take care of itself."

This week, world renown bluegrass and old-time music virtuosos and educators Tony Trischka & Bruce Molsky recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park's annual Arkansas Old-time Fiddle & Banjo Championships. Also, performances from the 2025 contest champions, fiddler Gwyneth Davis of Petit Jean Mountain, AR and banjoist Erik Brashers of Eureka Springs, AR. Each year, the Ozark Folk Center State Park hosts the Arkansas Old-time Fiddle & Banjo Championships. Competitors ranging in age from eight to eighty come from all over to test their skills and possibly be crowned a champion. World class musicians are brought in judge these contests and also perform on the Folk Center's evening concert. At the 2025 contest we were honored to have as our judges and performers, Tony Trischka & Bruce Molsky. Tony Trischka was born in Syracuse, NY and raised in a home filled with music. There were broadway scores and a sweeping range of classical music, from Stravinsky to Beethoven. The wide-open American vistas of Aaron Copland had an especially potent spiritual and visceral impact on him, as did the folk music his left-leaning father held dear. The Almanac Singers, the solo work of its founding members Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and Lead Belly's children's lp were in constant rotation. Trischka fell in love with the banjo by way of the Kingston Trio's 1959 recording of “M.T.A.,” and was able to experience the New York-centered folk revival by trekking to the Newport Folk Festival in the early to mid-'60s. He moved to the city in the early '70s and hit the ground running, settling in among a peer group of extraordinary musicians who saw American roots music as a thriving, living language that could be expanded and combined with other influences and sensibilities. - https://www.tonytrischka.com/bio Grammy-nominated, described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Bruce Molsky transports audiences to another time and place, with his authentic and personal interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook and other musical traditions from around the globe. Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce's banjo, guitar and his distinctive, powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes a concert hall feel like an intimate front porch gathering.  Bruce's take on tradition has landed him in collaborations with some of the world's most highly respected players from roots to rock. https://brucemolsky.com/bio In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1985 archival recording of a notable contest fiddler from the past, Alison Krauss, performing the traditional tune “Gardenia Waltz,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins discusses the etymology of the name Ozark.

The team discusses Dr. Jim Loehr's legacy as a trailblazer in performance psychology, tennis mental toughness, and character development through sport. From there we dive into the differences between fragile and resilient confidence, and what makes a player resilient, confident and an excellent competitor.

BJJ works… until it doesn't.In this episode, I sit down with Jena Bishop, a BJJ World Champion, elite grappler, and now professional MMA fighter, to talk about the brutal truth of taking world-class Jiu-Jitsu into the cage.Jena has beaten some of the biggest names in grappling, including Mackenzie Dern, Angelica Galvão, Luiza Monteiro, and Gabi McComb. But after transitioning into MMA, she learned something most Jiu-Jitsu athletes don't want to hear:Your sport Jiu-Jitsu game might not survive punches, wrestling, scrambles, and people who refuse to play guard.We talk about why guard pulling doesn't translate, why being on top matters more than ever, why some elite grappling styles fail in MMA, how striking changes every position, and what BJJ athletes need to fix before stepping into a cage.Jena also opens up about burnout, fight week anxiety, weight cuts, PFL, the current state of women's safety in Jiu-Jitsu, and why the culture of hero-worship in BJJ has created serious problems.This is one of the most honest conversations we've had on the show.Get my free competition training ebook, The Competitor's Journey:simplifyingjiujitsu.com/compSponsored by Datsusara:Use code ISUCK at dsgear.comFree BJJ Mental Models course:bjjmentalmodels.com/isuckWhat You'll LearnWhy elite BJJ doesn't automatically work in MMAWhy pulling guard is usually a terrible idea in a fightHow punches change guard, back control, leg locks, and top pressureWhy Jena stopped training mostly in the giThe biggest mistake Jiu-Jitsu athletes make when transitioning to MMAHow fight camp, burnout, weight cutting, and mindset really workWhy Jena believes BJJ culture needs to stop protecting the wrong people0:00 Intro0:50 Jena's biggest BJJ wins1:53 Why Jena switched to MMA4:36 Getting punched changes everything6:11 Finding her first MMA fight9:14 Training BJJ vs training MMA11:41 Why guard pulling fails in MMA14:35 Bad BJJ habits for fighting15:35 Why half guard works in MMA18:11 Why top position matters most18:49 MMA rounds vs BJJ matches21:00 Preparing for opponents24:10 Jena's fighting style25:26 How Jena handles fight nerves29:44 Burnout and fight camp33:40 Weight cut karaoke37:35 Post-weigh-in ritual39:00 Cutting weight for MMA42:23 Fight week routine45:34 Jena's MMA goals48:27 Should MMA fighters train gi?54:22 BJJ habits that don't translate56:19 Why elite grapplers struggle in MMA58:04 Wrestling exposes BJJ athletes1:00:25 BJJ culture problems1:05:20 Protecting women and kids in BJJ1:09:57 Leaving toxic gyms1:13:03 Annoying BJJ gym characters1:14:43 Jena's next PFL fight

The hotels winning today aren't just raising rates—they're using smarter systems, better data, and more strategic decision-making to improve profitability, guest experience, and long-term performance.Cody breaks down: Why ADR can be misleading  What modern revenue management software actually does  The biggest mistakes operators still make  And how independent hotels can compete without massive corporate revenue teams 

https://teachhoops.com/ The biggest mistake we make in high school basketball is letting the team hold a popularity contest in November to elect "captains." More often than not, you end up with the leading scorer or the friendliest senior wearing the title, regardless of whether they have the stomach to enforce your program's standards when you aren't in the room. True Team Leaders aren't elected; they are forged through shared adversity in the "muck and grind" of the off-season. They aren't just the players who speak the loudest; they are the Level 4 Competitors whose daily habits compel the rest of the roster to elevate their game. An effective leader must operate across three distinct spheres of influence. If they only master one, their leadership is incomplete: Lead Self (The Foundation): Before a player can echo your defensive calls, they must own their own execution. They are the first in the sprint, their body language is flawless, and they demonstrate elite Next Play Speed after their own mistakes. Lead Peers (The Bridge): They have the relational capital to pull a struggling teammate aside and deliver a hard truth without causing a fracture in the locker room. They are active Energy Givers. Lead the Culture (The Shield): They protect the program's vision. When a Level 1 "Energy Taker" starts complaining about minutes on the bus ride home, the team leader cuts the counter-narrative down before it can root. Instead of naming two traditional captains and alienating the rest of your upperclassmen, consider implementing a Leadership Council. The Blueprint: Select a representative from each class (Senior, Junior, Sophomore) to meet with the coaching staff weekly. The Benefit: This architecture ensures that the "Standard" is being communicated at every layer of your program. It also provides a clear pathway for younger players to develop their vocal muscles early in their high school careers. It is unfair to demand that your players hold each other accountable if you haven't given them the tools or the vocabulary to do so. In the "Truth Room" (your film study and debrief sessions), train your leaders to use objective data rather than emotional criticism. The Strategy: Teach them to challenge their teammates using the metrics that impact winning, like defensive rotations, deflections, or a drop in the team's live-scrimmage effective field goal percentage ($eFG%$). The Formula: When a leader says, "We need you to pass up that early 3 because our team's $eFG%$ drops by $15%$ when we don't get a paint touch," it shifts the conversation from a personal attack to a tactical standard. Coach's Note: "A quiet locker room after a bad practice is a coach-led team. A loud, corrective locker room where the players are fixing the execution before you even walk through the door—that is a player-led program destined to cut down nets."

What if the biggest problem in digital advertising isn't whether ads are working… but whether anyone seeing them is actually human? Insider Interviews host E.B. Moss talks with Jay Benach, GM of Media Security at Human, about bots, fake traffic, AI crawlers, ad fraud, and the increasingly blurry line between human behavior and automated activity online. Human, formerly known as "Bot or Not" then "White Ops" (which explains a lot of what they do) helps brands distinguish between real people, useful bots, and malicious automation impacting their business. Benach explains how the company evolved from identifying fraudulent browser sessions to helping marketers understand a much more complicated ecosystem of humans, AI agents, shopping bots, scrapers, and crawlers. The conversation explores why “viewable” doesn't necessarily mean “human,” how bots were engineered to satisfy traditional ad measurement standards, and why marketers now face a new challenge: determining not just whether traffic is automated, but who sent it and what it's trying to accomplish. Benach also discusses: • Sniping bots that manipulate shopping cart and retargeting data • Competitor-driven click activity that drains paid search budgets • The explosion of LLM crawlers feeding AI systems • Why some bots may actually represent valuable purchase intent • How advertising inside LLM conversations could reshape digital marketing As Benach explains, the question is no longer simply “Is this a bot?” It's “Who sent it, and what does it want?” If you're a marketer, learn how to answer that question in this episode, captured at #Possible2026.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we break down what it really takes to build a brand that competitors can't ignore. Most entrepreneurs think branding is about having the cleanest logo, the best website, or the flashiest content. But real branding goes much deeper than that. A powerful brand is built on trust, consistency, reputation, and results. Paul explains why competitors can copy your offer, your pricing, and even your marketing style, but they can't copy your story, your discipline, your customer experience, or the trust you've built over time. When your brand becomes known for delivering results, people stop comparing you to everyone else. They start seeing you as the standard. In this episode, you'll learn: Why trust is the real foundation of a powerful brand How consistency builds authority in your market Why competitors can copy your offer but never your reputation How every customer interaction either builds or breaks your name Why the strongest brands never stop improving The brands that make competitors nervous are not the ones chasing attention. They are the ones that show up every day, deliver real value, and build a reputation that speaks louder than any ad ever could. Your reputation is your greatest marketing asset. Protect it. Build it. And become the brand everyone else is trying to catch. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Back when we were in a small flex space unit in Gahanna… there were a handful of people helping build what CrossFit Grandview would become.Phil Tassi was one of them. Joining us back in January of 2010 fresh off Ohio State Crew, Phil became part of our affiliate teams from 2010–2012, 2014, helped contribute to two Games teams, and spent nearly a decade as one of the constants in the gym. Competitor, supporter, social regular — just someone who was always around and helped shape the culture.Life eventually pulled him west to Los Angeles with his wife Chavilah, and more recently overseas to London, England. After almost 8 years away from CrossFit, Phil has stepped back into an affiliate and started training again.This episode is less about scores and placements and more about time.How people change.How fitness changes.How priorities shift.And why some places somehow still feel like home years later.If you trained at CFGV in the early days, this one will hit different.

Is your Jiu-Jitsu gameplan actually helping you win… or are you just collecting random techniques?In this episode, I sit down with Beatrice Jin( ⁨@berimbozo⁩ ), black belt competitor, coach, and one of the funniest creators in Jiu-Jitsu, to talk about how to build a real competition game instead of just “getting better at everything.”Beatrice breaks down why specificity matters, how she rebuilt her own game after tough losses, why most technique content misses the point, and how competitors should think about grips, guards, training rounds, and strategy if they actually want to improve.We also talk about guard pulling, drilling, women's open mats, funny Jiu-Jitsu content, competing at black belt, and why your gameplan might suck.What you'll learn:- Why “training everything” can hold you back- How to build a specific A-game for competition- Why your grips matter more than your moves- How Beatrice structures competition training- Why guard pulling might be the smartest strategy- When drilling helps — and when it's a waste of time- How to stop training randomly and start training with intentTry this in training:Pick one primary guard, one secondary guard, and one grip sequence you want to force. Start rounds from there.

Law firms sell experience — but for decades, harnessing and operationalizing that experience has been a largely manual, chaotic process. In this episode, recorded live at the Legal Marketing Association annual conference in New Orleans, host Bob Ambrogi sits down with Jason Noble, president and chief of product strategy at Ikaun, to talk about how his company is changing that. Ikaun is a managed service and technology platform that helps law firms streamline the proposal and RFP response process — from capturing and organizing matter experience data to using AI to assemble and draft competitive pitches. Jason explains how the platform works, how the arrival of generative AI transformed what was previously possible, and why Ikaun positions itself as a managed service rather than a self-serve SaaS tool. Jason and Bob also get into the bigger picture of how law firms are responding to AI-driven changes in the competitive landscape, whether the billable hour can survive in an AI-augmented world, and whether the RFP process itself will look the same in the years ahead — or whether we're moving toward a future where agents are submitting and responding to proposals with minimal human involvement.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

I asked the internet for their hottest BJJ takes… and honestly, this was a mistake.In this episode of The I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show, Josh, Bryce, and Brian react to listener-submitted BJJ hot takes that range from painfully true to completely unhinged. We talk about injured training partners who still roll like it's ADCC finals, why “let's roll light” basically means nothing, whether you should wash your belt, why middle-aged blue belts might have the biggest target in the gym, and whether submission-only rulesets are actually ruining grappling.If you've ever had a teammate say “I'm injured, let's go light” and then immediately try to kill you… this episode is for you.Call the Hot Takes HotlineGot a BJJ hot take?Call 951-HOT-TAKE and leave us your worst, funniest, or most controversial jiu-jitsu opinion.We may roast you.We may agree with you.We may accidentally start a gym war.Get Josh's free competition prep ebook, The Competitor's Journey, at simplifyingjiujitsu.comGet Rob Biernacki's free Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles course from BJJ Mental Models at bjjmentalmodels.com/suckCheck out Datsusara hemp gear and use promo code ISUCK at dsgear.com for 10% off.
