S3 E3  Après All Day | Mountain Mixer In this episode of Après All Day, Bob and Rich head to Park City—at least in spirit—for the inaugural Mountain Mixer cocktail contest. The event brings together the top ten cocktails from a month-long, undercover judging process, culminating in a high-energy showdown at Deer Valley's Silver Lake Lodge on August 21. Bob and Rich welcome Executive Director Ginger Wicks of the Park City Area Restaurant Association, plus, two finalists - Leeham Bridgham from High West Distillery and Megs Miller from The Brass Tag.  Key Topics 1. Transforming a Contest for Transparency After last year's online cocktail contest was compromised by hacking, the Park City Area Restaurant Association reinvented the format. By bringing the Mountain Mixer live, with impartial, high-profile judges and a real-time audience vote, the event now offers credibility, excitement, and a dynamic, in-person experience that supports local bars and restaurants. 2. A Culinary Community that Works Together Ginger Wicks emphasizes Park City's rare spirit of collaboration, where competing restaurants help one another by sharing staffing resources and promoting the collective dining scene. This cooperation strengthens the area's culinary reputation and helps both visitors and locals enjoy a richer variety of experiences year-round. 3. The Artistry and Performance of Mixology In Mountain Mixer, taste is only half the battle—showmanship counts too. From the storytelling behind the drink to stage presence, bartenders must connect with both judges and audience. Finalists like Leeham and Megs illustrate how creativity, seasonal inspiration, and personal flair come together to create memorable cocktails and moments.

In 1960, two brothers scraped together $900 and bought a failing pizzeria in Michigan, launching what would become a cautionary tale about sales incentive programs gone wrong. Within months, one brother traded his half of the business for a beat-up Volkswagen, leaving Tom Monaghan alone with his ambitions. By 1965, with three stores under his belt, Tom faced a naming crisis. He couldn't legally keep using the original name, DomiNick's, so an employee suggested "Domino's." The logo? Three dots, one for each store. Tom figured he'd add a new dot for every location. After opening store number five, he wisely reconsidered that plan. Because what happened next wasn't just growth—it was an explosion that would teach sales leaders everywhere a crucial lesson about the double-edged sword of powerful incentives. How One Sales Incentive Program Nearly Destroyed a Billion-Dollar Company Here's what America looked like in the early 1980s: Microwave ovens were revolutionizing kitchens, Federal Express was making overnight delivery an expectation, and Americans weren't just eating faster—they were living faster. Domino's fit perfectly into this new rhythm, but Tom Monaghan wanted more. In a move that bordered on dangerous, he made a promise so simple it would define the company for decades: "Pizza Delivered in 30 Minutes or It's Free." It wasn't just about pizza. It was about certainty. And America bought it—literally. Within a year, sales exploded. From 200 stores in 1978 to over 2,500 by 1985. Over 5,000 by 1989. Every store became a speed factory with slimmed-down menus, cookie-cutter layouts, and drivers who might as well have been sitting behind the wheel with engines already running. Competitors couldn't keep up. But here's the brutal truth about speed: you don't see the danger until it's too late. The Hidden Dangers of Performance-Based Compensation Here's what every sales leader needs to understand: Powerful sales incentives, pushed too far, create unintended consequences that can destroy company culture. This principle, that when metrics become targets, they cease to be good metrics, would prove devastatingly true for Domino's. At first, the cracks were small. A delivery driver rolling a stop sign here, a speeding ticket there. But this wasn't a system built to reward patience—it was built to reward speed at any cost. Inside Domino's stores, the pressure wasn't subtle. Drivers were expected to race the clock. If they missed the 30-minute mark, some franchises made them pay for the order out of their own pockets. The message was clear: make it fast, or make it up yourself. Rolling stops became running red lights. Neighborhood shortcuts turned into risky maneuvers through heavy traffic. What customers didn't see—and what Domino's executives refused to acknowledge—was that they'd created a ticking time bomb. Speed wasn't just a business model anymore; it had become a way of life that determined every employee's behavior, and smart sales leaders understand this connection between incentives and culture. By the late 1980s, insurance companies raised Domino's premiums by 15-20 percent. Reports surfaced of accidents tied to delivery drivers rushing to meet the 30-minute window. Then came the story that changed everything: A Domino's driver in St. Louis ran a red light, colliding with another vehicle. Inside that car was Jean Kinder, whose life was permanently changed. The jury awarded her $78 million in punitive damages. In 1993, Domino's officially ended the 30-minute guarantee in the United States. Here's what most sales leaders get wrong about incentives: they don't just shape what people do—they shape who people become. Sound familiar? It should. Because this same pattern plays out in sales organizations every single day. 5 Warning Signs Your Sales Incentives Are Backfiring Take Wells Fargo's aggressive cross-selling goals in the mid-2010s. Supervisors told bankers to open more accounts,

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I discuss Satya Nadella's bold Q4 claim that Microsoft is the #1 cloud provider, leaving rivals to fight for second place.Highlights00:12 — Microsoft laid out a very clear, unmistakable story in Q4 that it is the biggest and right now certainly the most powerful, most influential cloud provider. CEO Satya Nadella used the opportunity of these unprecedented financial results to spread the word that, “We're number one, and all of the other hyperscalers — Google, Oracle, and AWS — can fight for the number two spot.”01:06 — Q4 cloud revenue was up 27% to 46.7 billion. Full year cloud revenue was $168 billion, up 23%. One that really blows me away, its RPO for Q4 was $368 billion up 37%, so that is remaining performance,obligation, contracted business not yet recognized as revenue. Then for Azure, for the full year, $75 billion and a 39% growth rate in Q4. So pretty powerful stuff.02:04 — Nadella said, "We're the leaders in breadth of AI products and AI infrastructure." He said, "In our overall tech stack, nobody can touch us, and that's how we're able to deliver at this scale." He said, "We have more data centers than anybody else does," cutting against some claims that have been made by Oracle and others. "We are outperforming everybody else."03:16 — I thought it was interesting that, without identifying those specific companies, he referred to our competitors and that we're doing more than them. Now, I think this was a smart move by Nadella, right? Because we're not talking about some technical features — these are the technological foundations that business leaders will be betting the future of their companies on.03:55 — So, the hyperscalers with the best overall capabilities are going to be the ones that those business leaders tend to go with. I think it's a smart move by Nadella here to say, in my view, here's where we stand. We're out ahead of the others on all this. Now, I'm sure Google Cloud, Oracle, and AWS will have their own points of view on this, and I would encourage all of them to speak up.04:20 — I'm not talking about name-calling, but a very clear and well-articulated, reasoned, customer-oriented set of here's where I stand versus competitors here. I was glad to see this from Microsoft. I hope everybody does it, and later this morning on Cloud Wars, I'll have a detailed article offering the verbatim comments that Nadella made about these different subjects.

John Horn, professor of economics at Washington University's Olin Business School and former McKinsey strategist, shares a disciplined framework for understanding competitive behavior by applying game theory and structured simulations. In this episode, he explains how companies can elevate competitor analysis from basic intelligence gathering to actionable strategic insight.   Horn begins by debunking the common misconception that many competitors behave irrationally. As he puts it: “Every single time a client said the competitor is irrational, I could ask them... two, three questions which would explain... why the company was being rational in what they were doing.”   He outlines a four-step framework leaders can use to model likely competitive behavior: Observe what competitors say and do, including press releases, earnings calls, and other public data. Assess their assets, resources, and capabilities, and imagine what you'd do in their position. Identify the decision-maker and their background to infer how they think: “If you grew up as a marketer and you became a CEO, you're going to look at the world from a marketing perspective.” Make a short-term prediction, write it down, and revisit it: “It becomes a virtuous cycle of getting a better insight into how that competitor thinks.”   Horn emphasizes that many firms fall short because they stop at step one or lack mechanisms to feed deeper insights into decision-making. He also stresses the role of empathy—not sympathy—in strategy: “I do have to empathize, understand why they're making the choices they make.”   War gaming, in Horn's view, is a powerful simulation tool, not theater. “It's a chance to practice business choices in a risk-free way... and just a much more realistic discussion.”   For entrepreneurs or under-resourced teams, Horn offers a lighter-weight version called "War Gaming Lite," which enables rapid, structured thinking about competitive responses using only internal knowledge and role-playing.   He also discusses how human biases, short-term incentives, and lack of time make both your firm and your rivals more predictable than you might think: “People really are predictable... It's not rocket science—it's about being disciplined.”   Whether you're a startup founder or a Fortune 500 executive, this episode offers practical steps to improve your strategic foresight and competitive positioning, grounded in empathy, behavioral realism, and iterative prediction.   Get John's book here: https://shorturl.at/6DOyh Inside the Competitor's Mindset: How to Predict Their Next Move and Position Yourself for Success.   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

00:00 – Check Your Data FirstIf your content isn't working, don't start guessing—start with the numbers. Data reflects human behavior.00:34 – Where to Check Your InsightsReview analytics on platforms like Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and your hosting platform. But the key isn't just looking—it's interpreting.01:12 – Don't Decide in IsolationA single video or post underperforming doesn't always mean failure. Variables like title, thumbnail, hook, and intro all play a role.03:15 – The Power of a HookThe first 60–90 seconds are critical. Your intro should represent your episode's promise and capture attention quickly.04:17 – Study What WorksLook at patterns from creators in your niche. Don't copy—observe how they structure and tell stories.05:27 – Titles, Thumbnails, and Brand AuthorityHook, title, and even your name affect discoverability. Strong brand authority increases visibility and trust.06:39 – Long-Form vs. Short-Form TestingSocial media allows rapid testing; long-form (like podcasts) takes more time to gather data. Plan accordingly.08:44 – Analyze on a 90-Day WindowTrends shift. 90 days gives enough time to collect meaningful data and adjust quarterly strategies.10:00 – When You Don't Know What to Do NextGo back to your data. It's your best reference point. If interpretation is hard, get support.11:04 – A/B Testing with TubeBuddyTry different titles/thumbnails. But again, it should align with your core message and your audience's behavior.12:18 – Strategy Over SpaghettiPosting consistently is not enough. Know who you're talking to and test intentionally to refine your strategy.13:18 – Don't Get Burned Out by ExpectationsNot all content will perform. Publish, gather data, and iterate. That's how you find your sweet spot.14:32 – Competitor vs. Inspiration AnalysisUse similar creators to map out what's working—but come from a place of inspiration, not comparison.15:31 – You Might Already Have Warm LeadsStop only chasing new followers. You may already have people primed to buy—you just need the right nudge.18:10 – Different Strategies for Different LeadsNew leads vs. warm leads require different types of content. Know where your audience stands.19:20 – Platform Insights Are GoldUse Instagram and YouTube data to learn your audience's age, activity times, and location.21:01 – You Don't Need Virality to WinGoing viral feels good, but it's not the only strategy.

Should America go soft on China? According to the Toronto based foreign affairs writer Diane Francis, the United States ought to consider Xi Jinping's China a competitor, rather than a enemy. In contrast, Francis views Vladimir Putin's Russia as not just an enemy, but an existential threat to Europe, North America and free world. Putin Won't Stop, Francis' latest Substack post argues. Unless, perhaps, he's locked in a room with the redoubtable Diane Francis.1. Francis Views American "Isolationism" as Reasonable and Justified"Isolationism is reasonable, I think it is. I mean, traipsing all over the world, thinking you're the policeman and you have the answer and you pick the right side all the time and you're gonna squander the wealth and the tax dollars of your population is to me an ego trip to a certain extent." Francis sees Trump's America First approach as a logical response to failed interventions like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.2. She Distinguishes China as Competitor, Russia as Malevolent Enemy"I see Russia as an enemy, as a malevolent force that wants to recreate the Soviet Union, imprison people, ignore rights and then take over other countries and commit genocide when necessary... China, on the other hand, is not an imperial power. It's never been a conquering country... China to me is not an enemy. China is a competitor, and it can be a ruthless competitor." This forms the core of her geopolitical framework.3. Francis Sees Trump as Effective but Lacks Statesmanlike Qualities"There is some logic to what he's doing, but he's really not, in my opinion, he's not capable of really statesman-like leadership. He just isn't. He's a fish out of water. He's are a developer of slum apartment buildings in Queens. This guy looks at everything as though it was just about dollars and cents." She appreciates his tough negotiating approach while criticizing his limitations.4. She Takes Canada's Merger Threat from Trump Seriously"Absolutely. I'll just give you a quick background. In 2013, my 10th book... was Merger of the Century, Why Canada and the United States Should Become One Country, and I wasn't endorsing the merger, but I was warning Canadians that if they didn't get their acts together... America will get fed up and gobble them up." Francis views Trump's threats as realistic given Canada's economic and military dependence.5. Francis Makes Controversial Claims About Russia's Global Reach"They started the war in Sudan. And they were behind the October 7th attack of Israel... according to Ukrainian intelligence, first of all, October 7th is Putin's birthday. Secondly, the Hamas terrorists were trained in Syria on Russian bases by Russian mercenaries called the Wagner troop." She presents Russia as orchestrating conflicts worldwide, though these claims are highly disputed and lack mainstream corroboration. This is a public episode.

THE VENUE In Spring 2024, they purchased a 5-acre property in Homewood Canyon just outside Death Valley National Park and opened Base Camp Death Valley as an event venue in March 2025. The centerpiece is the Desert Rose Manor, a 6,000 sq ft, four-story colonial home featuring stunning exterior wrought ironwork by the late Raymon Larose—a legendary West Coast blacksmith whose work graces the homes of Frank Sinatra and Barbra Walters, and properties owned by Paramount, Universal, Disney Studios, MGM Grand, as well as creations for Barry Manilow, Michael Jackson, The Osmond Family, and many more. While the Manor's interior is currently undergoing a careful remodel, the exterior will be beautifully finished in time for the October 2025 event—offering a gorgeous backdrop. Guests at Base Camp Death Valley can enjoy one of Larose's remarkable creations up close—the wedding arch made from wrought iron gates originally crafted for Barbra Walters' house. Though these gates were damaged by a visitor before they could be shipped, Larose rebuilt a new set and later repaired the originals. The restored gates now serve as a striking and historic backdrop for the wedding ceremony area, offering attendees a unique glimpse into the artistry that enriches the property. Don't let the reputation of the Death Valley heat scare you away—Base Camp sits at a refreshing 3,000 feet in elevation, often 5–10 degrees cooler than Las Vegas, NV. October temperatures are ideal, and the night sky? Absolutely unreal. As a designated 100% DarkZone, Base Camp offers one of the clearest, darkest stargazing experiences on Earth. THE EVENT On October 11, 2025, they'll host the inaugural Sizzlin at Sunset Steak Cookoff, a fully SCA-sanctioned event featuring Golden Ticket opportunities for Steak and Ancillaries—making it the final qualifying event before the SCA World Championships in Fort Worth March 2026. And because ticket winners can't take home more than one Golden Ticket in a category, it's a prime opportunity for novice competitors to snag a spot. The legendary Ken Phillips, SCA Co-Founder, will serve as the SCA event rep. Competitors can camp onsite(limited spaces available) or take advantage of discounted lodging in nearby Ridgecrest, CA (just 37 miles away). Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a backyard cook ready to try your hand, the Sizzlin at Sunset Steak Cookoff is shaping up to be one of the most exciting, welcoming, and visually stunning events of the season.

In this conversation, four-time competitor and 2-time color commentator Gavin McClurg and 9-time competitor and Red Bull athlete Tom De Dorlodot discuss Tom's continued recovery journey after a serious injury over a year ago snow-kiting in Norway and his recent emotional return to flying. They reflect on both of their recent Red Bull X-Alps experiences this June, exploring the dynamics of risk management in paragliding, the influence of gear and technology on performance, and the impact of media on the public perception of risk. The conversation also touches on the camaraderie among pilots and the future of the Red Bull X-Alps, emphasizing the balance between competitiveness and safety in high-stakes flying. We discuss the complexities of paragliding competitions, particularly the Red Bull X-Alps. They explore the pressures faced by athletes, the role of the organization when it comes to safety, and the tricky balance between racing and responsibility.

This week, we're drowning in the genius of our tech overlords as Elon Musk opens his Tesla diner, complete with $17 hotdogs and a blocked apartment view, while his $9 billion Neuralink startup claims it's a "disadvantaged" business. Not to be outdone, SpaceX is mad about other people's space junk, France is criminally probing X for algorithm manipulation, and Meta is giving the EU's AI code of practice a hard pass. Amid warnings the AI bubble is worse than the dot-com implosion, we've seen Replit delete a user's database, ChatGPT hallucinate features into existence, and the FDA's own AI fake medical studies. It's no wonder psychologists are identifying "AI Psychosis" while others hope the ensuing internet slop cures our addiction. Meanwhile, a Denver couple gets indicted for a crypto scam, a Colorado pastor blames God for his failed coin, and Trump signs a stablecoin bill, so that's all fixed now. To top it off, Lyft lets you block drivers and Uber finally lets women riders match with women drivers in the US.In Media Candy, we're turning the nostalgia dial to eleven with "This Is Spinal Tap" in 4K and a look back at 1994's best movies, a time before Spotify started polluting dead artists' pages with AI-generated songs. Netflix is also using generative AI, but we're still watching "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," "Hacks," "Wednesday," "Superman," "Sunday Best," and "Bookish." For your app fix, you can browse a glorious collection of 90s Geocities backgrounds or let Amazon's new Bee AI wearable listen to your every word, your choice. At the library, we're digging into Michael Palin's "Python Years" diaries. Finally, we pour one out in our closing shout-outs for George Kooymans of Golden Earring, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Hulk Hogan, and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.

In this episode we talk about strategic financing options. There are a lot of ways to raise money for your startup, and corporate investors (strategics) can be a good option. Are they right for you? What are the pros and cons of strategic investment? We are here to help! In this episode we answer questions including:Should you raise money from a competitor?What about raising from your customers?Are government grants a good idea?All of these questions were submitted by listeners just like you. You can submit questions for us to answer on our website TheStartupHelpdesk.com or on X/Twitter @thestartuphd - we'd love to hear from you!Your hosts:Sean Byrnes: General Partner, Near Horizon www.nearhorizon.vcAsh Rust: Managing Partner, Sterling Road www.sterlingroad.comNic Meliones: CEO, Navi www.heynavi.comReminder: this is not legal advice or investment advice.Q1: Should you raise money from a competitor?Sounds risky, huh? Your instinct is probably right—this is a red flag! Conduct a principled evaluation. Recognize the opportunity while weighing strategic upside versus structural risk.Here's the key: your competitors' motivation to invest in you is likely not aligned with your needs. They are not loyal to you, thus there are other incentives guiding their interest in investing. There are potential espionage risks and conflicting incentives that can cause significant issues later, especially if your startup becomes big.The good news: you can say "no!" Competitor interest is a signal. If competitors want in, perhaps other better-suited investors will too.Q2: What about raising from your customers?Customer interest is validating, but tread carefully. Customer investors are risky. Information rights can severely hurt your negotiating position. Furthermore, if your customer-turned-investor churns, that can significantly hurt your market credibility.Delay such conversations until later in the round. If you decide to raise capital from your customers, structure the investments thoughtfully, possibly through RUVs or uncapped terms. Clearly define boundaries to help manage risks while preserving relationships.Q3: Are government grants a good idea?Grants are not fundraising red flags. In fact, securing a grant can often signal market validation. Investors love dilution-free capital. However...while dilution-free capital is attractive, beware of grants that work outside your strategic roadmap. This can become a distraction. While grants demonstrate external demand, their slow processes can divert focus from iterating on core product-market fit milestones. Grants are strategically advantageous only if they accelerate your core objectives rather than redirect them.So, ask yourself: "Does the grant move us forward on our roadmap? Or does it give us a new roadmap?"Your answer to that question gives you all the clarity you need.

In the generative AI revolution, quality data is a valuable commodity. But not all data is created equally. Sarah Guo and Elad Gil sit down with SurgeAI founder and CEO Edwin Chen to discuss the meaning and importance of quality human data. Edwin talks about why he bootstrapped Surge instead of raising venture funds, the importance of scalable oversight in producing quality data, and the work Surge is doing to standardize human evals. Plus, we get Edwin's take on what Meta's investment into Scale AI means for Surge, as well as whether or not he thinks an underdog can catch up with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other dominant industry players.

It's the time of the year when we feature some of the smart conversations that occur around the country through the Eisenhower Series College Program. This episode features Christiana Crawford, Jody Daigle, and Amanda Raney as they examine the complex relationship between the United States and China. They joined podcast editor Ron Granieri to share their different yet complementary perspectives. Christiana emphasized the military's goal is to build strength to preserve peace, Jody drew parallels to the Peloponnesian War by highlighting fear, honor, and interest as drivers of conflict, and Amanda discussed the inherent tension of competing with China while also collaborating with it in critical fields like medicine. The speakers agreed that this complex relationship, full of both cooperation and competition, must be carefully managed. I have a much deeper understanding of that threat now after my studies here at the War College… I've wrestled with it and I've decided it's not a tension that can be resolved. It has to be managed. Christiana Crawford is a colonel, an operational planner and Western Europe Foreign area officer in the U.S. Marine Corps reserve. She was commissioned in 2004 from the U.S. Naval Academy. She recently served as the lead planner for Marine Corps Force modernization efforts in the Pacific. She is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. Jody Daigle was commissioned from the U.S. Military Academy in 2002 and is a colonel that has served for 23 years in the U.S. Army Infantry and Special Forces roles, with several combat deployments to Iraq and the Southern Philippines. His Indo-Pacific focus includes military capacity building and diplomatic service at U.S. embassies in India, China, and the Philippines. He is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. Amanda Ranney is a colonel and a medical operations planner in the Washington Army National Guard. She specializes in planning medical support for combat forces and leading medical units. Most recently, she commanded a multifunctional logistics battalion. In her civilian career, she manages clinical trials developing new cancer medicines. She is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Army War College, U.S. Army, or Department of Defense.

Seema Shah with Sensor Tower gives investors insight into the latest social media and streaming trends affecting stocks. She points to Netflix's (NFLX) user base being the biggest driver for its growth, saying its 75% quarter-over-quarter retention far exceeds other streamers. Seema adds that Alphabet's (GOOGL) YouTube platform gives the Mag 7 giant an edge that most of its peers don't have.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Not all that long ago, people felt paying bills by sending a check in the mail was the best way to do it. Today, it seems like a bad idea. In fact, banks and the post office are recommending against it. Listen as I reveal why. https://www.businessinsider.com/post-office-check-fraud-mailing-be-careful-usps-scam-2023-6 There are a lot of weird but true stories out there. And this episode offers you several of them!. For instance, how one U.S. President prevented his own assassination and how Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr's unique drumming style is due to exorcisms. And, how the Los Angeles Dodgers paid someone to cosmically beam positive messages to players during games from 3000 miles away. And there's more... These stories all come from my guest Dan Schreiber. Dan hosts a podcast called There is No Such Thing As a Fish (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-such-thing-as-a-fish/id840986946) and he is author of the book The Theory of Everything Else: A Voyage Into the World of the Weird (https://amzn.to/43eruph) How the very best athletes perform at their peak can teach us all something about life and how to do our best at what we do. Here to explain this is Sally Jenkins who has been a columnist and feature writer for The Washington Post for over twenty years. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2020 and in 2021 was named the winner of the Associated Press Red Smith Award for Outstanding Contributions to Sports Journalism. She is the author of 12 books including The Right Call: What Sport Teaches Us About Work and Life (https://amzn.to/44wtc6y). If you have been to Trader Joe's, I'm sure you have noticed that the people who work there wear different colored Hawaiian shirts. Perhaps you have wondered what the different kind of Hawaiian shirts mean or why they are so friendly and why they keep ringing that bell? Listen as we peak behind the curtain at Trader Joe's. https://www.businessinsider.com/trader-joes-slang-terms-only-employees-know-2023-7?utm PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
