In this jam-packed episode, Conor takes the reins as host and is joined by Adrian and Joe to chat about what they've been playing, some solo deep-dives, party chaos, and emerging favourites. Joe's Long Weekend of Mayhem Joe dives into his recent experience playing Blood on the Clocktower over a long weekend with friends. Expect stories of bluffing, betrayal, and late-night accusations as he shares how this social deduction classic went down with his group—and whether any friendships survived the chaos! Conor Compiles... and Compiles Again Conor has been putting in serious time with Compile, getting in multiple plays of this clever and compact card game. He shares his thoughts on how it holds up after repeated plays, where it shines, and whether it's earned a permanent spot in his rotation. Adrian Goes Solo with The Anarchy Adrian has been digging deep into The Anarchy, especially in solo mode. He breaks down how the game works, what makes it stand out mechanically, and why it's kept him coming back to the table. If you're a solo gamer or a fan of crunchy historical themes, this one's for you. Plus, the team riffs on gameplay highlights, player dynamics, and what's exciting them in the hobby right now.   To vote for us for Best Podcast in the BGG Golden Geek Awards, go here: https://boardgamegeek.com/geekawards/boardgame   Check out our Eventbrite page for all of our upcoming Game Days: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/board-game-bbq-32833304483 SPONSORS Our podcast is proudly sponsored by Advent Games and More Than Meeples.

What does it mean to be feminine? What does it mean to be masculine? More importantly, what does it look like to be connected with our divine masculine and feminine? These polarities are present in all of us; sometimes we display balanced energy and other times we are completely out of whack. In order to address an unbalanced energy, we must first know what balance looks like. Sacred masculine energy looks nothing like the toxic masculinity we've come to recognize in patriarchal society. Similarly, sacred feminine energy is in direct opposition to the clinging, desperate energy we see in the unbalanced feminine. As we wander through the woods on this misty afternoon, get in touch with the energy within you, it's time to meet the sacred! What am I reading?The Lanterns of Lost Memories by Sanaka HiigariThe Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins  What's playing on repeat?Say it Ain't So by WeezerWhat's for dinner? Southwest Black bean and Sweet Potato Bowl Ingredients:2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed1 cup cooked quinoa1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)1 red bell pepper, diced1 avocado, diced1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved½ cup red onion, finely chopped¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped1 tsp olive oil for roastingSalt and pepper to tasteDressing Ingredients3 tbsp olive oil2 tbsp lime juice1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp smoked paprika½ tsp garlic powder½ tsp chili powder1 tsp maple syrup (optional for sweetness)Salt and pepper to tasteInstructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Giorgio Andonian is the Managing Director at FOCUS Investment Banking, where he specializes in mergers and acquisitions within the Consumer and Automotive Aftermarket industries. He joined FOCUS in 2019, bringing over 15 years of operational experience, including his role as Vice President of a regional tire chain in Southern California, where he oversaw sales, marketing, finance, and human resources, ultimately preparing the business for a successful exit to a private equity platform. Giorgio holds a MBA with an emphasis in finance from Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management and maintains several professional licenses, including Series 79, Series 82, Series 63, and a California Real Estate License. In this episode… The tire and auto repair industry is experiencing a wave of consolidation as shop owners consider mergers, acquisitions, and succession planning. What steps should business owners take to maximize the value of their business, whether they plan to sell or grow? According to Giorgio Andonian, Managing Director at FOCUS Investment Banking, preparation is key to achieving the best outcome. Business owners should start by evaluating their financial structure, understanding fair market rent, and optimizing operations well before considering a sale. Giorgio emphasizes that having a clear succession plan, even if an immediate sale isn't in the works, can significantly impact long-term profitability and stability. Additionally, for those looking to expand rather than exit, securing the right capital and investment partners can help fuel growth while maintaining control over their business. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge chats with Giorgio about market trends in the tire industry, how to prepare for an acquisition, and the role of private equity in fueling business growth. They also discuss why many shop owners overlook key financial details, such as fair market rent, and how proper planning can prevent costly mistakes. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:  [01:52] Giorgio Andonian discusses his background in the tire industry and his role at FOCUS Investment Banking [04:13] The value of having a second set of eyes on a business for operational improvements [05:52] The importance of exit strategies and succession planning for tire shop owners [07:27] How FOCUS helps business owners prepare for a sale years in advance [17:00] Key factors buyers evaluate in a tire shop, including cleanliness and efficiency [17:41] The most-overlooked factor in selling a business: fair market rent [19:20] Buyer preference in purchasing both the business and the real estate or just one [20:22] How long-term lease agreements with national tenants can increase property value Resources mentioned in this episode: Giorgio Andonian on LinkedIn  FOCUS Investment Banking  Les Schwab Tires Mike Edge on LinkedIn Tread Partners Quotable Moments:  "Preparation is key; start planning your exit strategy years in advance to maximize your business's value." "Understanding your corporate structure, like C Corp versus S Corp, can significantly impact the taxes you pay upon selling." "Charging yourself fair market rent is crucial; many owners overlook this, affecting their business valuation." "It's not just about the sale price; the right buyer ensures your company's legacy and employees are in good hands." "Our industry experience allows us to identify operational improvements that can enhance profitability before a sale." Action Steps:  Assess your financials: Conduct a thorough evaluation of your tire shop's financial performance, including profit margins and detailed financial statements, to present an attractive profile to potential buyers. Enhance curb appeal: Improve your shop's exterior by cleaning surfaces, updating signage and lighting, and organizing display areas to create a positive first impression. Streamline operations: Optimize inventory management and invest in employee training to increase efficiency and customer satisfaction, making your business more appealing to buyers. Gather legal documents: Compile all necessary legal paperwork, such as business licenses, tax filings, employee contracts, and insurance policies, to ensure compliance and facilitate a smooth transaction.  Set a realistic price: Determine a fair market value for your tire shop based on thorough market analysis to attract serious buyers and facilitate a successful sale.

On commence avec l'inauguration du 61eme salon de l'agriculture par le président de la république Emmanuel Macron ce samedi

Whether we admit it, like it, or believe it, we're in a relationship with AI.That's the first of many powerful reflections made by Sara Vienna, Metalab's Chief Design Officer, in her must-read manifesto about how design and product must evolve. Unlike the design leaders who speculate about AI's impact, Sara and her world-class team are years ahead. They are designing disruptive AI product experiences and leveraging AI to elevate their workflows. Sara's episode is one of the most important conversations we've had about the future of design and products.Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple PodcastsShe believes that AI will change how we work and what we build. Those who embrace the potential of AI will succeed in the oncoming disruption. But most importantly, the future of product+AI will be in making five mindset shifts:They're fundamentally principles for humanizing experiences. The hope is that AI will finally bridge the divide so products can deliver the value we've always wished was possible in the most humanized way possible. But there will be challenges in accomplishing this:* Most product orgs are built around the concept of delivery, not design excellence* Unlocking user data: Getting access to valuable data and knowing how to use it in a meaningful way are still more fantasy than reality* In every direction we turn, trust is being diluted* Design as we know it will need to be reborn to adapt to move from creating pixel-perfect interfaces to ones that adapt and spawn based on user interactionsAgain, I highly recommend listening to the entire episode.Thanks for reading Design of AI: Strategies & insights for product teams! This post is public so feel free to share it.Envisioning the future of design & productIf we extrapolate on Sara Vienna's vision of how design should change, a couple of core reality checks come to mind:* Today, we can't even conceptualize what products will be able to do tomorrow. Just like new AI tools are being released faster than we can read about them, more teams than ever are competing to deliver the use case & interaction model that will redefine a category. It's a race to an undefined & moving finish line.* The underlying models may be the heartbeat of future products, but design will always be the brain. Products plug into whichever model suits them best at a particular moment, usually based on cost and accuracy. But just like each of our minds brings a different lived reality and way of using knowledge, the models are less important than the strategy that's been designed into the product.* Fewer designers and product managers will yield immense power. AI automation platforms —like Make and Loveable— can effectively replicate more than half of products today. This percentage will grow until such a point that any product will soon be able to be cloned, undermining its competitive advantage. The designers and product managers working on the future of design will have the funding that enables them to compete in a global race that they're likely to lose because they don't know what competition they're actually facing. The rest of us will be working to keep the lights on.Big question: How should we be using AI, today?Photoshop celebrated its 35th birthday today and is a perfect reminder of how disruptive platforms eventually become part of the boring vocabulary of the everyday.GenAI platforms, like ChatGPT, are in their infancy. Everything seems equal parts novel and confusing. We're still unsure how to use this superintelligence, only that we should be using it. Photoshop's rise was similar: a platform that opened up so many possibilities but whose ultimate impact wasn't felt until it redefined the designer role many years later. What's happening today is that employees are smuggling AI into work and this makes sense given the recent McKinsey report that finds that leaders are slow to adopt because of risks and a lack of vision.Our research finds the biggest barrier to scaling is not employees—who are ready—but leaders, who are not steering fast enough.Anthropic, the maker of Claude, published their Economic Index report and found that AI use is most prevalent in computer & mathematical occupations. Their AI model is mainly used for programming and administrative tasks.What the data also show is that design and creative tasks aren't core use cases, yet. And rightfully so, large language models best serve requests about processing content and code, not pixels and ideas. A report about how generative AI is used in journalism showcases this by highlighting that even the creative tasks are largely operational ones, like resizing images and animating.This data highlights the divide in how leading organizations, like Metalab and Superside, leverage AI compared to the everyday user. While the average person uses Midjourney to generate stock art, leading designers automatically generate localized creative based on design systems and content guidelines.The reality is that product teams have three core workstreams:* Operations: Planning, organizing, editing, describing (e.g. Notion)* Creativity: Ideating, revising, collecting, analyzing (e.g. Cove)* Productivity: Deciding, planning, organizing, explaining (e.g. ChatGPT)Every designer, product manager, writer, producer, and researcher completes tasks in these three workstreams. And every one of you should be taking the time to break down your typical workflows into discrete activities so that you can explore what AI solutions can either augment or automate non-critical tasks.An example of this is how Kyle Soucy is using AI to streamline person and journey map creation. This type of knowledge work is considered sacred by traditionalists but as you can see in her article, she's broken down her workflow to find effortful tasks to be augmented/automated. We can question AI's accuracy all we want. We can challenge if models were trained ethically. And we can debate what percentage of your job may benefit from using AI. What will not change is the undeniable truth that the intelligence and capabilities of these models and tools will only improve. The sooner we embrace that truth, the better positioned we are to control our own fates. For example, a recent study evaluated AI vs. human-generated therapy responses from 13 expert therapists (clinical psychologists, counseling psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and a psychiatrist). The report found (questionable) data to indicate that users couldn't tell if a human or an AI made the responses. The AI also outperformed human therapists on empathy, professionalism, and cultural competence.We'll soon reach a point where generative AI can output designs that are indiscernibly human or automated. In this near-term reality, the role of designers must evolve or be replaced.A recommended action plan for how you should be using AI today:* Plan projects and workstreams using templates, resources, and added context* Communicate ideas and insights better by using AI to iterate and expand* Question the rationale, assumptions, and factors that impact the project goal* Compile inspiration, ideas, and information that will broaden your thinking* Analyze larger data sets and more sources than you could have before* Challenge your concepts by making variants and exploring new directions * Create more deliverables by automating localization, multiple formats, and generating content based on systemsIf you enjoy this content, please make sure to listen to the Design of AI podcast on Spotify and Apple.

In many modern LLM applications, such as retrieval augmented generation, prompts have become programs themselves. In these settings, prompt programs are repeatedly called with different user queries or data instances. A big practical challenge is optimizing such prompt programs. Recent work has mostly focused on either simple prompt programs or assumed that the general structure of a prompt program is fixed. We introduce SAMMO, a framework to perform symbolic prompt program search for compile-time optimizations of prompt programs. SAMMO represents prompt programs on a symbolic level which allows for a rich set of transformations that can be searched over during optimization. We show that SAMMO generalizes previous methods and improves the performance of complex prompts on (1) instruction tuning, (2) RAG pipeline tuning, and (3) prompt compression, across several different LLMs. We make all code available open-source at https://github.com/microsoft/sammo . 2024: Tobias Schnabel, Jennifer Neville https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.02319v2

This Podcast Is Episode 592, And It's About Tips For Working With Banks And Lenders In the Construction Industry If your company is experiencing rapid growth, you might find yourself navigating a good news/bad news situation: while your sales figures climb, managing cash flow becomes increasingly complex, pushing you to seek additional financing to meet the rising demand. Consider this scenario: A couple wanting to sell their house expresses interest in your remodeling service, presenting an exciting opportunity that could significantly elevate your construction business. However, they have a requirement: they want the job done in three weeks. Now, you're caught in a challenging position. Declining could mean missing out on a lucrative partnership, yet agreeing could strain your cash reserves. You're not alone in this struggle; many businesses face similar hurdles when scaling operations or entering new partnerships, especially when balancing cash flow and the cost of fulfilling the project on time. To build a stronger case when approaching your financial institution for support, it's essential to understand how bankers think and what they look for in terms of business viability. A solid business plan is just the beginning; you must clearly outline your financial needs and establish a robust strategy highlighting your project's viability. Here are some practical tips to help you prepare for that crucial conversation—and improve your chances of a successful outcome. Understanding your financial institution Understanding how financial institutions—such as national banks, regional banks, credit unions, and other lenders—operate is essential for enhancing your borrowing potential. Here are some fundamental operating principles to consider: 1. The difference between being bankable and lendable. Every entity with financial records is bankable: you can open a business account, deposit revenues, and pay bills. However, to be deemed lendable, you generally need at least three years of financial statements and tangible assets, inventory, or accounts receivable to serve as collateral. A minimum risk rating is also required. Understanding your company's financial performance is crucial before approaching your banker for additional funding. 2. How financial institutions evaluate creditworthiness. The approach that financial institutions take to assess creditworthiness is constantly changing. Evaluating a business often involves several decision-makers, so bankers may use a behavioral-based model to determine your credit score. This score typically merges performance metrics from businesses within your industry and assesses your business's history with the current financial institution, which includes factors such as borrowing and repayment patterns, cash cycles, and customer payment terms. 3. Banks often don't value foreign assets. Many banks need help assigning value to overseas assets, including foreign accounts receivable. The reason for this caution is straightforward: if repayment issues arise, banks face challenges in recovering losses when collateral assets are internationally situated. This situation can lead to reduced financing possibilities and limit the size and number of contracts your business can manage simultaneously. 4. Competition for loan dollars When you seek financing from your bank, remember that you are competing with other businesses for the same loan funds. Therefore, it's vital that you present your case clearly and persuasively. The following section outlines the essential elements you need to include. 5. Time constraints of account managers Your financial institution's account manager likely balances a diverse portfolio of clients, each with distinct needs and business backgrounds. To ensure a successful meeting, providing a concise business plan and well-presented financial statements will significantly enhance your chances of a favorable outcome. Essential documents to take to your lender With an understanding of how banks operate, it's time to prepare your documentation and refine your pitch. 1. Define your request Clarifying your financial request is crucial. Take the time to outline precisely what you need from your financial institution. Whether it's bridging the gap between supplier payments and customer receipts or funds to secure materials for a significant contract, presenting your pain points will aid your account manager in determining the appropriate financing solution—a loan or line of credit. Keep in mind that loans provide a limited credit amount that must be repaid in full, while lines of credit offer revolving access, allowing for continuous borrowing within a predetermined limit. 2. Compile financial statements Financial institutions generally favor established companies with a history of economic stability. Aim to have at least three years of financial statements ready to demonstrate your business's viability. If your business is newer or has unusual financial trends, be prepared to share future projections that reflect your anticipated growth. For younger businesses, pursuing financing for specific transactions can enhance your credibility. 3. Evaluate your collateral For small business lines of credit, banks typically require $2 in collateral for every $1 financed. Understand what collateral you can offer, including capital assets, inventory, or accounts receivable. Capital assets consist of real estate and equipment, which banks may be reluctant to accept due to liquidation challenges. Inventory - this can be used at a discounted valuation, depending on its quality and turnover rate. Accounts Receivable: Domestic receivables with short payment terms may be accepted, while international receivables are often unsupported. 4. Perfect your pitch With your understanding of the bank's considerations, ensure your pitch stands out. Develop a well-prepared presentation that balances enthusiasm for your construction business with sound financial planning. Your banker will appreciate your passion, but they'll also seek reassurance that you have a strategic plan. Be ready to discuss the reasons behind your working capital need and the unique aspects of your business that set you apart. Additionally, if you aim to enter a new market, prepare to articulate the associated risks and benefits and your long-term vision for growth. 5. Mitigate your bank's risk To improve your chances of securing working capital, demonstrate to your bank that you understand and can mitigate their risks. They will need confidence in their ability to recover funds if repayment becomes an issue. Following these guidelines will enhance your approach to securing financing from your financial institution, ultimately positioning your business for sustainable growth and success. In Summary What can you expect from us? Banks typically require several documents from a construction business to approve a loan. These may include: 1. Profit and Loss Statement - overviews the business's profitability. 2. Balance Sheet - shows the company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time. 3. Business Plan - details the construction company's operations, market analysis, and financial projections. 4. Tax Returns - typically, banks ask for the business's tax returns for the past few years. 5. Projected Cash Flow - provides insight into the company's ability to repay the loan. 6. Business Licenses and Permits - banks may also request documentation showing that the business operates legally. We can help you with these standard requirements when you become a client, but remember that specific documentation needed can vary based on the bank and the loan type. It's always best to check with the lending institution to ensure all required documents are provided. As always, I'm just a phone call away for a no-charge business consultation.

Welcome to Episode 90 of The Last Standee Podcast! How are you, fellas? Refreshed from vacations? Tired from their lack thereof? Meh, as usual? (seriously, let's set the bar a bit higher than "meh") GenCon has come and gone, "closing" 2024 as far as releases that will be honestly reviewed for this year will go. Essen SPIEL is behind the corner, and a new year's worth of new releases is elbowing its way in (I mean, we'll have Unmatched Ninja Turtles!), but let's do things properly. This Standee Catch-up brings a bit of news from later this August along with tidbits from our gaming lives, and after that it's Alessio talking about Compile from GTG, a surprisingly very good 1v1 card game presented at GenCon out of the blue. Next comes Audrey with her impressions about Dune: Imperium, the mix of deckbuilding and worker placement you didn't know you needed in your life. Finally, to follow up with the AI-contingent theme, there's Cara with Hive (I know, right?) and Warhammer 40000: Combat Patrol.

Don't Start Touching Things…First VIS-U-AL-IZATION  Start with the end in mind. We do this in our paid work, but now we need to do it for our meaty project. I know it's so exciting when you have all your supplies. But to be most effective, I want you to have a meaningful start. When you are done, come Labor Day, how does it look? AND how does it function? Will it effectively support you during the upcoming most productive weeks out of the year? Teacher When you think about going to school, how do you envision the Teacher Friday Workbox® effectively helping you with your administrative tasks? Compile the paper and slash pockets you need to make it a reality. Maybe set up a table in the corner of a room as your project station for the summer. Communicate with your family and remind them about planned neglect. Organizing Your Paper The first few steps are very much like starting the Teacher Friday Workbox®. And you get to start once you have time blocked out on your calendar. How much paper will you go through at time? Starting a Sunday Basket®? Consider the Paper Organizing Retreat or hire a professional paper organizer to help. And then plan it on your calendar. Organizing Your Health Journey When spaces are modified to support goals, goals are more likely achieved. Again visualize how the kitchen will best support your new goals. If it's losing weight, visualize how you want it to look. I know I'm looking forward to a half full refrigerator and replacing some items I will hand down to Abby and getting some new ones I have my eye on. Personal Development/Personal Spaces Reflect! This is time you are setting aside to reflect on who you are and what you want. I strongly encourage you to attend Embrace. I'd start there because you may find you want to do something different than before Embrace. This is also a time to think about your wants. It's not like “I deserve this.” No, maybe you have wanted something and everyone else has their needs met…go ahead and dream. And if it's in the budget, get it! What do you want your life to look like? Getting Your Kids Organized Dream with your kiddos how their rooms could look. Consider your budget and make a plan. I noticed I did this about every three years. Your kids have grown and are now different people. Make sure you know how you will do it because once you tell them they will want to start tomorrow! Organizing Your Family & Communal Spaces Just visualize functionality. I remember this lady who had a perfect home and when a magazine came to take pictures, they replaced some of her decor! It was in that moment that I realized even perfect isn't perfect. These are communal spaces and they will not stay organized long at all. This is the first floor of a two story home. Plan it out on your calendar when you will do each room and in what order.  Focus Since this is your summer long project, I want you thinking about it all the time. On the way to the grocery store you may have a great idea come to you; write it down. And the next time you get 5 minutes or 3 hours, you can implement that idea!

How do you find a fee-only financial advisor who's the right fit for you? I've outlined a detailed process that you can use to not create a list, research your list, and interview and hire the perfect fit for you. I'll cover it all in this episode.  This is Part 3 of a seven-part series about financial planners to celebrate the release of my first book, “Fiduciary: How to Find, Hire, and Establish a Trusted Partnership with a Fee-Only Advisor.”  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [1:00] What we covered in last week's episode (Part 2) [4:05] Step #1: Compile a list of financial advisors [9:46] Step #2: Research the list you've compiled [15:00] Step #3: Interview your final list of advisors  [23:33] What we're covering in Part 4 of this series Step #1: Compile a list of financial advisors To compile a list of fee-only financial advisors, you need to ask yourself some important questions:  Do you want to work with a local advisor that you can meet with in person? Are you willing to work with someone over Zoom or the phone? Is there a specific specialty that you're seeking? Do you need help with retirement planning, college planning, or business planning? Many advisors specialize in narrow niches (mine is retirement planning for people over 50).  Unfortunately, there isn't one website you check out to find all of the fee-only financial advisors in the United States. However, one of the resources I like to use is the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards website. This is the governing body through which people obtain their CFP certification.  The only downside of the CFP board is that they allow both fiduciary and non-fiduciary advisors to become members. It's difficult to act as a fiduciary if you're a broker or carrying an insurance license. If you do work with a CFP, I always recommend working with one that's fee-only.  You can use any of the sites in the resources below—filtered by location and specialty—to compile a list of potential options.  Step #2: Research the list you've compiled Start by heading to a financial planner's website and poking around a little. If they state that they're a fee-only financial advisor, confirm that. What do they offer? Do they offer financial planning only? Or do they only offer ongoing advice and investment management?  Research their background by using BrokerCheck. You don't want to find them there. Instead, you'd hope to see that they were previously registered (but no longer are).  Head to Investment Adviser Public Disclosure to see if they're a Registered Investment Advisor. They can be registered as brokers and insurance agents as well as an IAR.  Look up the specific firm and find their “ADV.” The ADV is a disclosure document that every RIA has to file. This is an easy way to find out if they're a broker, an insurance agent, or if they have any other conflicts of interest.  Look up the individual financial advisor. Download the report to look at their work history and any disclosures or complaints that they've had.  Once you've done this, it's time to vet your top choices. Head over to my website for the full list of 10 questions that you must ask every potential advisor.  Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel “Fiduciary: How to Find, Hire, and Establish a Trusted Partnership with a Fee-Only Advisor,”  The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors The XY Planning Network The Fee-Only Network Garrett Planning Network CFP Board BrokerCheck  Investment Adviser Public Disclosure  The Fiduciary Pledge  Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about compiling an ebook. A lot of podcasters do this once they’ve hit a critical mass with their episodes. You end up with a lot of wisdom and knowledge in that big bank of content. So, what threads or narratives could you pull out and build an ebook around? An example of this might be a recurring question you ask every guest, and now you have 50 different answers. Or, maybe you’ve noticed a pattern in how each guest battled through adversity to become successful in their field. If you do themed and structured seasons, then your book chapters are pretty much laid out for you. Use your scripts, transcripts, and shownotes to build a first draft, polish it up, then you can use it whatever way you like. Some choose to give it away for visibility or as a lead magnet. Others prefer to stick it up for sale on Amazon or their own e-commerce store. Either way, ebooks are one of the best ways to repurpose your content and create extra value for your audience. Thanks for listening to Pocket-Sized Podcasting. And, if you’re enjoying the show, please do leave us a rating and review on your listening app of choice. We really would appreciate it.

A disservice to the discourse Mitigating the Risk vs. Solving it Strider's 4 pieces to the puzzle Arm injuries … will it travel to the back page My favorite topic - Velocity Harder throwing has contributed to injuries: The average four-seam fastball velocity was a record 94.2 mph last season, up from 91.8 mph in 2008, according to MLB Statcast data. Parents buy youth players weighted balls and track them with radar guns, 2008, velocity tracked by PITCH fw/x - camera-based, measured closer to the plate The Athletic The Wind Up Levi Weaver and Ken Rosental How Mason Miller started throwing 100 Last week, we told you about Mason Miller, the A's closer who is throwing harder than anyone else in baseball. Today, Stephen Nesbitt has the story detailing how Miller went from throwing sub-90 mph in college to routinely hitting triple digits. It turns out, Miller had Type 1 diabetes. Miller has gained 65 pounds of muscle, and double digits on his fastball. When we wrote last week, he had six of the 10 fastest pitches this year. He now has eight of the top 10, with Ryan Helsley of the Cardinals (sixth place, 102.4 mph) and Justin Martinez of the D-Backs and Nate Pearson of the Blue Jays (tied for 10th, 102.3) the only interlopers into Miller's domain. 102. - 103 96 = 97 My other favorite subject - Tommy John recovery Since returning from a second TJ, Nathan Eovaldi is 41-27 and became a two-time All-Star, Daniel Hudson has made 420 appearances over a decade and Chris Capuano pitched in 192 games over seven seasons. “You tell them that this is unfortunate, but this is your MRI," he explained. “This is probably why it happened — meaning you threw outside the envelope of your tissue quality — but we have a procedure that can repair your ligament and reconstruct it, kind of a belt/suspenders way that once it heals, the likelihood of you going back to pitching at the same level or above is 95%. Book of Joe will not mention Fleisig's name - will refer to as a prominent bio machnanics expert “We really improved the mechanics or biomechanics of many pitchers from major leagues down to little leagues,” says Glenn Fleisig, the research director at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham who is also an adviser to MLB and an established leader in pitching biomechanics. “Improving the mechanics means getting more velocity and maximizing your force of using your whole body, but that has come with a price,” Fleisig says. “The weak links are the ligaments and tendons. They have ligaments and tendons holding their joints together, like the Tommy John ligament in the elbow and their rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. Pirates Paul Skenes unleashes 100 mph heat 34 times during unreal night on mound The Pirates aren't in a rush to bring Paul Skenes up to the big leagues, but the Pittsburgh prospect is making a case to be up there sooner rather than later. Skenes threw 3 ⅓ innings scoreless on Thursday night for Triple-A Indianapolis in an outing where he reached at least 100 mph on 34 of the 43 four-seam fastballs he threw Skenes, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft and MLB Pipeline's No. 3 overall prospect, averaged 100.5 mph on his fastball Thursday. “With Paul, we've been very intentional about how we're building his volume coming into the season with a goal of really accomplishing two things,” Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said recently during an interview with The Fan,. “The goal is to try to get him to an appropriate total volume for 2024 coming off last year, when he pitched a full college season and then just a little bit of pro ball. “We don't want to go from zero to 100 right away. Paul's so important to us long term, so we want to be really thoughtful about that.” 4 days rest To manager Derek Shelton, it didn't matter that Jones had thrown just 59 pitches, a staggering 50 for strikes. The Pirates had determined in advance that Jones would pitch only five innings, because he was working on four days' rest for the first time. It starts with good intentions. That's the point that should quiet the howling, if only a little, about the way teams handle young pitchers. Think about it: Who has more incentive to keep pitchers healthy than the teams that depend on them? The problem is that nobody knows how to do it. “I wish I could say there is a perfect formula for it — there is not,” said Ben Cherington, the Pittsburgh Pirates' general manager. “At least, we don't have it. We're just trying to be as thoughtful as we can.” Cherington, who has spent more than 25 years in baseball, offered a nuanced explanation for how we got here. “There's a bit of a paradox, because on one hand — not just as an industry, but the whole pitching ecosystem, which includes amateur baseball — I truly believe pitching people and pitchers themselves understand much more about how to move on the mound to be able to protect the body and be efficient,” Cherington said. “And we have, obviously, much more precise ways of measuring right now than we did when I was a farm director and, honestly, we were just sort of guessing. Around the Horn Judge because of the size of his talent, contract, track record and, well, size draws the most attention for the offensive downturn. He has two hits in his last 20 at-bats with 12 strikeouts — though one of those hits was a winning single in Toronto. So when he struck out in the ninth against Jason Adam when one Judge-ian blast could have sent 47,629 home happy, he was booed by a segment of the crowd. Nestor Cortes, admitted not liking the reception considering all that Judge has done for the organization. Judge said, “I have heard worse and would probably be doing the same [booing] in that situation.” Judge said he feels great and that there are no physical maladies. He said there is not a singular reason for his slow start, noting both mechanical and pitch recognition issues, but mainly saying that he knows he will not be given a lot of pitches to do damage against based on his reputation and he must seize those moments — and so far has failed. He cited the long season and not being worried. About himself or the offense in total. The Athletic: David O'Brein Spencer Strider He also addressed the growing controversy surrounding what some have termed an epidemic of MLB pitching injuries. “There's so many things that go into it. It's such a complex situation, …seeing people talk and implying that they somehow are in a position to know why injuries are happening. Strider is correct, many pieces of the injury puzzle, but they're not all the same size. Complex to solve does not necessarily mean complex to understand. “Yeah, there's just so many people in any topic, in any field, that are probably speaking out of their depth,” Strider said. “You know, we want to solve this problem. Will never solve, goal is to mitigate, Do they understand? “I's a long (discussion),” he said of what is contributing to increased pitching injuries. “Of course, the pitch clock. The condition of the balls. The banning of substances to gain grip. The effective shrinking of the strike zone. All those things are playing a factor in injuries. Guys are bigger, faster and stronger than they've ever been. I mean, you can't take that away. Not mentioned “How you throw the baseball.” Bigger Faster Stronger is the go to phrase, but we're not speaking of Lineman/Linebackers. “The environment of the game should be such that guys are able to compete at their highest ability and stay healthy, or have a chance to.” “It's gonna be a while before I start throwing or anything, but I'll trust the rehab process,” Strider said. . Complex to solve depends upon one's ability to assess, distill, implement 1. Compile the issues which the experts believe impact arm health 2. Rank them according to their severity/ impact 3. Decide what MLB can realistically impact and what they can not 4. Decide which issues can be addressed short term, which ones long term 3. Develop a strategy and time line for each and implement accordingly 5. Get the experts in one room - all speak to the issue through their own narrow lens. 6. Needs to be an individual who can widen the collective lens Around the Horn Boone and Torres After Stanton's home run, he watched Torres keep the rally alive with a 101.9 mph ground-ball single up the middle. Torres had struck out swinging in all three of his at-bats before the hit, and he came into the game hitting just .206 and after making a crucial error in Tuesday's loss. “Offensively, I don't worry about Gleyber,” Boone said. … he's just too talented of a hitter to be held down.” .243 / .259 / .257 / .273 .724 / 6.97 / .761 / .800 It's an ultr-marathon Yankees' offense slipping back to ugly 2023 ways despite Juan Soto's torrid start Instead, the overall offense is too in the Venn diagram with last season — a .237/.332/.378 slash line vs. a 2023 of .227/.304/.397. Judge camouflaged many offensive sins in 2022 with his historic 62 homers and the eight weeks he missed in the heart of last season after injuring his right big toe fully exposed a lineup that was overreliant on one star. Judge because of the size of his talent, contract, track record and, well, size draws the most attention for the offensive downturn. He has two hits in his last 20 at-bats with 12 strikeouts — though one of those hits was a winning single in Toronto. So when he struck out in the ninth against Jason Adam when one Judge-ian blast could have sent 47,629 home happy, he was booed by a segment of the crowd.
