The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Burnout Before Licensure: Why Prelicensed Therapist Exhaustion Is a Supervision Problem, Not a Time Management Problem A continuing education episode on prelicensed therapist burnout, clinical supervision, and why early career exhaustion is a systemic problem rather than a time management one. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT examine why prelicensed clinicians are entering the mental health workforce already depleted. Client acuity climbed during the pandemic and has not come back down, the least experienced clinicians are frequently assigned the most complex cases, and roughly a third of the work week goes to compliance, tracking, and billing. Add student loan debt, low paid and unpaid associate and practicum roles, and severe evaluation anxiety, and burnout arrives long before licensure. This is not a self-care episode, and Curt and Katie say so at the top: no toxic positivity, no bubble bath prescriptions. They treat prelicensee burnout as a systemic and relational problem, then look at clinical supervision as the place it can realistically be buffered. That includes the supervisor seat, where new supervisors often receive no training in how to supervise, absorb vicarious trauma from every caseload they oversee, and watch as much as 90 percent of the supervision hour get swallowed by administrative work. The back half of the episode is practical. Supervisees get transition rituals, boundary architecture, and a realistic look at managing up. Supervisors get better check-in questions, guidance on modeling vulnerability, and structural adjustments they can make in the next supervision hour. This is a continuing education podcourse. One unit of CE is available through the Modern Therapist Learning Community at moderntherapistcommunity.com. In this episode, we discuss: * Why prelicensed clinicians burn out at higher rates than their licensed colleagues * How burnout presents differently before licensure, as exhaustion, brain fog, and vicarious trauma rather than cynicism * Why treating early career exhaustion as a rite of passage is a supervisory failure * What supervisors are carrying that supervisees rarely see * Concrete strategies supervisees can use without waiting for a supervisor to change * How supervisors can build restorative space into the structure of supervision * Why note lag is a signal of clinical capacity rather than poor organization Timestamps: 00:54 - Why prelicensees arrive already exhausted 02:41 - CE objectives and the systemic frame 09:40 - The data on prelicensed burnout rates 14:26 - The competency trap 17:36 - How burnout looks different before licensure 22:32 - The supervision paradox and the 90 percent problem 29:06 - Strategies for supervisees 37:37 - Strategies for supervisors 50:31 - Case vignette: note lag as a capacity signal 1:04:58 - Key takeaways and call to action Full show notes, references, and CE information: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/
The episode reveals a structural shift away from indiscriminate adoption of AI tools toward targeted deployment based on business needs within the MSP sector. According to Uptime Global, a channel-only outsourcing provider, premature or hype-driven implementation of AI frequently results in incomplete projects and missed operational gains. The review of AI execution within MSP ticketing environments shows that sustainable value emerges when organizations align AI initiatives with clearly identified business issues, rather than searching for use cases to justify a technology already acquired. Concrete evidence from Uptime Global's experience indicates that approximately 25% of their MSP partners have deployed notable AI solutions beyond ticket triage functions in the past 18 months, according to Jason Kemsley, Chief Revenue Officer. Outcomes vary: roughly half saw ticket volume reductions of 10–25%, while the remainder experienced limited value or customer dissatisfaction tied to inadequate human involvement in support processes. Uptime's operational model uses a confidence threshold for AI-driven actions, where only outputs above 98% confidence automatically execute—mirroring human engineer accuracy rates—and anything below triggers human review. Supporting developments further highlight the shift's operational impact. Uptime Global has eliminated dedicated triage and dispatch roles due to increased AI efficiency, resulting in a role blend where “first responders” now handle both traditional triage and basic technical support tasks within set time limits . The company's pricing structure is affected by AI efficiency, creating margin pressure as contract models based on per-ticket or per-device pricing are exposed to declining ticket volume and shifting customer expectations around service value and outcomes. For MSPs and IT service providers, the operational implications center on increased pricing pressure, the erosion of certain labor-based roles, and the requirement to redesign governance and accountability models to accommodate both automated and human ticket outcomes. Vendor dependency grows as MSPs rely on AI-driven platforms to triage, allocate, and resolve tickets, increasing exposure to platform-specific risks and necessitating clear thresholds for AI confidence and human intervention. Contract structures that do not account for dynamic efficiency gains may create pricing misalignment and customer dissatisfaction over time, emphasizing the need for providers to actively manage and transparently communicate both the tradeoffs and limits of AI-enabled support.

What You'll Learn in This Episode Why executive burnout is usually a betrayal problem, not a workload problem The difference between betrayal as destruction and betrayal as revelation How high-functioning codependency and over-giving accelerate burnout in high-achievers The origin belief driving your disordered boundaries - and how to find it The six-step L.I.S.T.E.N. Method for moving through betrayal Concrete personal and professional steps to reclaim your energy and worth Burnout Isn't a Workload Problem - It's a Betrayal Problem The exhaustion that sleep doesn't touch and a vacation only reschedules isn't about your calendar. It's about a betrayal you've been staying busy enough to avoid feeling. Somebody crossed you; a partner, a mentor, a company you bled for, a parent. Instead of grieving it, you got useful. You made yourself indispensable so you'd never be discardable again. That isn't ambition. It's a survival strategy in business casual. Key insight: Burnout in leaders is rarely about doing too much. It's about doing too much for people who wouldn't do the same for you, while some part of you knew it the whole time. Betrayal Is Not Destruction - It's Revelation Genesis 50:20 gives the whole framework. Joseph tells the brothers who sold him: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." He doesn't deny the harm. He names the intent, and refuses to let their intent write the final sentence. Betrayal doesn't build the crack. It reveals the crack that was already there - in the relationship, the agreement, or the story you were told about your own worth. Underneath the Scripture is the neuroscience: your nervous system logged the betrayal as a threat and went into protection - over-function, over-give, say yes when you mean no. That pattern is high-functioning codependency, and it's the number one accelerant of burnout in high-achievers. Key Takeaways Burnout that rest won't fix is often unprocessed betrayal. Betrayal reveals a pre-existing crack; it doesn't create it. Over-functioning is a survival response, not a personality trait. Healing is internal — it never requires the other person's apology. The L.I.S.T.E.N. Method works the root belief, not just the symptom Ready to Work the Root? If you can feel the origin belief but can't quite reach it alone, that's exactly the work of the Premium Strategy Hour. One focused hour: we locate the origin, name the belief, and build the boundary you've needed for years, the one that ends the over-functioning at the root. These are deliberately limited, and only a handful open each month. When they're gone, they're gone until the next window. Claim your Premium Strategy Hour → Listen deeply. Speak boldly. Do the work.

VISIT CONCRETESCHOOL.CO TO START LEARNING TODAY.ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCASTHow can concrete be waterproofed from the inside instead of relying on a membrane attached to the surface?Seth is joined by Nick Karam, PE, Business Development Manager at Xypex, to explain how crystalline waterproofing works, where it is commonly used, and how it compares with traditional membranes and coatings. Nick explains how the chemistry reacts inside concrete, how it can help seal hairline cracks when water is present, and what contractors and engineers should consider when comparing products, testing performance, scheduling leak tests, and weighing upfront cost against long-term maintenance.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN• Why hardened concrete can still allow water to move through pores and capillaries • How crystalline waterproofing reacts with water and cement-hydration byproducts • The difference between an integral crystalline admixture and a surface membrane or liner • How crystalline products can also be applied as a slurry coating to existing concrete • Why water exposure can reactivate crystalline chemistry around a new crack • What Nick says contractors should expect during an initial leak test • Why a two-to-two-and-a-half-week healing period may need to be considered in the project schedule • Where crystalline waterproofing is commonly used, including tanks, foundations, elevator pits, tunnels, and wastewater structures • What permeability and hydrostatic-pressure tests can reveal about product performance • How loss-on-ignition testing can be used to compare the active material in crystalline products • Why Nick recommends comparing long-term maintenance and labor costs, not only the admixture cost per cubic yardCHAPTERS(00:00) Introduction, podcast support, and Concrete Logic Academy (04:20) Nick Karam's background and role at Xypex (05:43) What crystalline waterproofing actually does (07:54) How the crystalline reaction works inside concrete (09:50) Using crystalline coatings on existing concrete (11:46) How to compare crystalline waterproofing products (12:05) Permeability and hydrostatic-pressure testing (15:02) Loss-on-ignition testing and active ingredients (17:18) Where crystalline waterproofing is commonly used (18:48) Mix design, dosage, workability, and admixture compatibility (20:17) When does crystalline waterproofing become active?

If you have ADHD, there's a good chance somebody labeled you before anybody actually saw you. Maybe you were the kid making commotion, so everyone knew, and what they knew was that you were a problem. Maybe you were quiet about it, so nobody knew at all, and you disappeared to the nurse's office for your second dose wondering why none of your classmates had to. Different labels. Same miss.This one is a four-brain conversation. David and Isabelle are joined by Bobby, Isabelle's husband, and Ashley, David's childhood friend, diagnosed in fourth grade back in 1994, when almost nobody was talking about this, and definitely not about girls having it. What she says about how differently the same brain gets read depending on who's wearing it, and what David admits about the messages he grew up hearing, goes somewhere none of them planned.This episode is part of the Something Shiny Summer Replay series, where David and Isabelle are pulling some of their most powerful episodes back into the feed. If you've heard this one, it's worth hearing again. If you haven't, it might be exactly the one you need. Either way, your brain gets something to hold onto this summer.In this episode:Why boys with ADHD get caught and girls get missed, and what each one costsThe reading struggle almost nobody connects to ADHD, and why audiobooks would have been a game-changerThe familiar-music trick for focus, the one rule that makes it work, and why it does nothing for DavidDavid's anchor memory demonstration on Isabelle, live, mid-episode, and what it unlocksWhy kids who aren't white get conduct disorder labels instead of ADHD diagnosesThe Spokesmanship Award, invented by a school entirely because of Bobby-------Wait, What's That? Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:Eye Tracking Issues A real, physical piece of ADHD almost nobody talks about. Impulsivity jumps you to the wrong word or the wrong line. Attention drift has you thinking about whether the fridge is closed while you read the same sentence for the fourth time. If you've ever spent two hours on the same page, this is for you.Anchor Memory The thing David demonstrates on Isabelle in real time. She's convinced she remembers nothing from a college textbook. He asks smaller and smaller questions about what was physically on the page, and her memory opens up, all the way down to a cuneiform doodle she fell asleep staring at. Concrete details unlock what you could have sworn was gone.Response Cost Understanding the consequences of your actions later down the road. David's version: skip class because the homework isn't done, then skip again to avoid trouble for skipping, then a month is gone and the school has decided you have a behavior problem.Oppositional Defiant Disorder A clinical diagnosis marked by intentional conflict with authority, and it is not ADHD. David's distinction: an ADHD kid will fight tooth and nail for the Snickers bar, not caring who's in the way. An oppositional defiant kid fights the person because of who the person is. The episode gets into who keeps getting handed this label instead of an ADHD diagnosis, and why."I Want To Meet Richard Dreyfuss" A real concept album by Gabriel Gundacker that Bobby listened to for two months straight, about a singer wanting to meet Richard Dreyfuss.

Concrete has been shaping the world for thousands of years—but today's concrete is changing in some surprising ways.This week on All About Home Construction, we take a look at the fascinating history of concrete, from the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to the incredible Roman structures that are still standing nearly 2,000 years later. We'll talk about how Portland cement transformed construction and why reinforced concrete became one of the most important building technologies in modern history.Then we look at the future of concrete. What are fly ash and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag? How can industrial byproducts be used to reduce the amount of Portland cement in concrete? What is steel slag being used for, and how are researchers experimenting with captured CO₂ in concrete?It's a look at how we're taking one of the world's oldest building materials and finding new ways to make it stronger, smarter, and potentially more environmentally friendly.All About Home Construction — building on the past while looking toward the future.

His wife said he hadn't told her he loved her all day. He had screenshots proving he'd said it five times. He kept them to himself, and that was the whole lesson. Part three of our five-part week with Dr. Robert Glover, best-selling author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, and probably the most immediately useful one. Glover draws the line between a factual statement and an emotional statement, and makes the case that when your wife says something that seems provably unfair, the accusation was never the point. The trigger you feel is the signal. FREE THIS WEEK: We built a companion field guide for the whole series. It's the main points from every episode plus copy-and-paste prompts you can drop into ChatGPT or your journal to actually do the work. Grab it at frontrowdads.com/niceguy.

✅ The Green Impact Report Quick Take: Concrete is responsible for building nearly every community on earth—and it's also one of the biggest opportunities to reduce embodied carbon. In this episode, Kerry Sutton explains why the future isn't about finding one miracle material. It's about educating the entire industry, embracing innovation responsibly, and collaborating across every stakeholder to create resilient, lower-carbon infrastructure that lasts for generations.

You sit down with a recruit and you start talking, and halfway through you realize you sound exactly like the company website. The platform, the products, the tech stack, the comp plan, all the stuff every other leader in your market is saying too. And the recruit's eyes glaze over, because they've heard it nine times this year from nine different people who all sound the same. Here's what I want you to walk away with today, and it should change how you walk into every recruiting conversation. Between 80 and 90% of the people who join an organization join because of the leader, not the company. You are the differentiator. I'll give you four moves that make your leadership vision impossible to confuse with corporate messaging. Episode Breakdown [00:01:40] Duct Tape Tennis Shoes I grew up low income, duct tape tennis shoes. I was the poor kid at school, and I knew it. At 19 I left home and planted a flag in the ground and told myself I'd never live like that again. I went to college, hated it, and left after one semester, but I didn't give up on the dream. I started going to every conference and live event I could get to, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and I taught myself. By my mid-20s I was one of the top salespeople in a Fortune 500 company. [00:02:25] Why That Story Beats a Comp Plan When I share that in a recruiting conversation, the recruit doesn't hear a comp plan. They hear personal growth. They hear a value I didn't pick off a list because it sounded good, I lived it in shoes held together with tape. A competitor can match my comp by Friday. They can buy the same software. But not one of them can copy that story or the value it proves, because it happened to me and not to them. Lead with the company and you're handing the recruit something anyone can duplicate. Lead with you and you're handing them the one thing in this entire industry that's impossible to replicate. [00:03:05] The Premise: You Are the Product, Not the Company Four moves sit on one idea. You are the product, not the company. That's the frame underneath everything that follows. [00:03:21] Move 1: Stop Saying You're Better and Start Being Different Almost every leader you compete with is going to say some version of we're better. The second you say better, you've invited a comparison contest on comp and rate sheets, a contest you might lose. Different takes you out of the contest completely, because your exact combination of experience, beliefs, and culture can't be ranked against anybody. There's nothing to compare it to. [00:03:54] Move 2: Build Your Message From Your Own Stories Your values should come from your life, not from a values page someone in marketing wrote. A value with a story behind it is impossible to fake and impossible to copy. My family-first value isn't a word on a wall, it's the thing that got me out of bed in the worst year of my life. When a value has a story like that under it, the recruit believes it, because you're not claiming it, you're proving it. [00:04:26] Move 3: Make Every Value Concrete Enough to Repeat Here's the test. If it takes you five minutes to explain what one of your values means, it's too abstract, and the recruit won't remember it the moment they leave the room. Get each value down to one concrete sentence a recruit could write on a napkin after hearing it once. Concrete is memorable, and memorable is what walks out the door and keeps working on them. [00:04:54] Move 4: Name Your Culture So It Self-Selects Don't describe your team as a list of features, give it an identity. If you run a fully virtual selling culture that hands out an award for the most creative spot somebody shows up from for the sales meeting, say that. The right person hears it and thinks that's me, and the wrong person screens themselves out before you waste a conversation. A named culture is a filter and a magnet at the same time. [00:05:25] Why It Works If 80 to 90% of hires come because of the leader, then every minute you spend selling the corporate platform is a minute spent on the weakest lever you have, while you're sitting on the strongest one, your own story and vision, and most leaders barely touch it. And you can't be commoditized. Comp gets matched, platforms get matched, perks get matched, but your value system, your why, and your vision can't be duplicated by anybody, which means the moment you compete on those you stop being a slightly better option and become a category of one. And a lived story is believable in a way a claim never is. Anybody can say they value growth or family or hard work. Prove it with a real moment from your real life and the recruit stops evaluating a pitch and starts connecting with a person, and people join people. [00:06:25] Your Small Win Today Take one line of corporate messaging you've been leaning on in recruiting conversations and rewrite it as something only you could say. If a competitor could say the exact same sentence, it isn't differentiating you. [00:06:49] Three Bigger Moves This Week Write one of your core values as a story, beginning, struggle, and overcome, so your whole team learns to recruit on identity instead of the rate sheet. Rewrite each of your values into one concrete sentence a recruit could repeat after hearing it once, so your message lands the same whether it comes from you or anyone on your team. Then name your culture and three specific rituals inside it, so the right recruits self-select toward you and you stop burning time on the wrong ones. Key Takeaways Between 80 and 90% of people join because of the leader, not the company. You are the differentiator. Corporate messaging is the weakest tool you have. Your story, your vision, and your values are the strongest. A competitor can match your comp by Friday and buy the same software. They can't copy a story that happened to you and not to them. Stop saying you're better. Better invites a comparison contest on comp. Different takes you out of the contest completely. A value with a story under it is impossible to fake. You're not claiming it, you're proving it. If it takes five minutes to explain a value, it's too abstract. Get it down to one sentence a recruit could write on a napkin. Name your culture and it becomes a filter and a magnet at once. The right person self-selects in, the wrong one screens out.

July 8, 2026 - Wednesday Bible Class In this episode Caden walks through the life of Timothy in the New Testament, using his story as a roadmap for how families, mentors, and congregations can develop faithful, effective servants of Christ. Caden outlines four main points — Timothy's upbringing, personality, reputation, and defining traits — and draws connections between biblical examples and practical church life. The episode examines Timothy's spiritual foundation: the influence of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, his early acquaintance with Scripture (Acts 16; 2 Timothy 1:5; 3:14–15), and a recent Pew Research study about how household religious practice affects retention. The host stresses the central role of the home in training young people and offers concrete ideas for building a child's faith (attendance, family Bible study, visible example, church involvement). Mentorship is a key theme. The speaker explores Paul's investment in Timothy (Titus 2; Philippians; 1 Corinthians) and the importance of both receiving and giving mentorship. Passages such as Proverbs 1 and 1 Timothy 4 are used to encourage younger and newer Christians to accept teaching, grow in knowledge, and set a godly example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Timothy's personality — commonly understood as timid or shy — is discussed candidly. The class reviews verses that show Paul encouraging Timothy (1 Corinthians 16; 1 Timothy 4; 2 Timothy 1:6–7) and highlights how Timothy overcame fear and insecurity through obedience, faithfulness, and willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Reputation and dependability are analyzed through examples in Acts and Paul's letters. Timothy was well spoken of in Lystra and Iconium, trusted to check on churches and to teach correctly (Acts 16; Philippians 2; 1 Thessalonians; 1 Timothy). The speaker emphasizes how consistent, humble choices build a reputation that opens doors for service. Concrete traits from Timothy's life — devotion to Scripture, faithfulness, selflessness (including his willingness to be circumcised to reach Jews), and sacrificial service — are highlighted as patterns worth imitating. The lesson closes with practical takeaways for listeners: invest in children's spiritual foundations, mentor the young and new, don't let personality or fear prevent service, guard your reputation, remain devoted to study and growth, and live selflessly as Jesus taught (Matthew 16:24). The episode is carried out as an interactive teaching session with audience participation and Q&A moments; there are no external guests. Listeners can expect Scripture-based exposition, real-life examples, statistics to frame the issue, and actionable steps for families and church members who want to raise and mentor the next generation of faithful Christians.

July 12, 2026 - Vacation Bible School Day 1 - Sunday PM Bible Class In this episode Bill leads a lively class-style exploration of the complex relationship between archaeology and the Bible. Bill argues that while archaeology can sometimes corroborate biblical details, it does not "prove" Scripture—the Bible is presented as the ultimate, absolute authority. Listeners are taken through the larger debate over timelines, methodology, and the limits of physical evidence. The program contrasts the modern, roughly 200-year history of archaeology with the Bible's traditional, literal timeline of about 6,000 years, and discusses how those differing chronologies shape interpretations. The speaker highlights that archaeology often raises questions or offers multiple interpretations rather than delivering definitive answers. Concrete case studies are covered in depth: the Exodus narrative, the conquest accounts (Jericho and Ai), debates over the location of Mount Sinai, claims about Pharaoh's army at the Red Sea, and sensational finds like alleged remains of Noah's Ark. The episode flags which of these claims are widely debated or lack direct archaeological confirmation. A major portion of the talk focuses on Hezekiah's Tunnel and the Pool of Siloam: the tunnel's construction, the ancient inscription describing the stonecutters' rendezvous, and how the feature aligns with Old Testament descriptions and later New Testament references (including Jesus' healing at the Pool of Siloam). This segment is presented as a strong example of where biblical description and physical remains converge. Bill explains "burn layers"—strata of destruction in archaeological sites—and uses examples such as Shiloh and Jericho to show how sudden destruction horizons can match biblical accounts of conquest, while also stressing that later rebuilding can obscure earlier events. The theological dimension is emphasized through the story of Rahab as an example of grace appearing amid judgment. The Dead Sea Scrolls receive special attention as one of the most remarkable finds supporting the preservation and reliability of Scripture: nearly 1,000 manuscripts from Qumran, the languages they contain, and their significance for understanding Jewish belief in the Second Temple period and the textual history of the Hebrew Bible. The episode also reviews a handful of corroborating inscriptions and human remains—such as the Pilate Stone, the first-century heel bone with an embedded nail, and the Gallio inscription—illustrating archaeology's role in confirming historical persons, administrative titles, and cultural details mentioned in the New Testament. Throughout the lecture the speaker warns about overhyped or bogus claims and encourages careful, critical investigation. He references modern popular apologetics researchers and online resources (Jonathan Moore; Apologetics Press contributors Kyle and Jeremy Butt, David and Jeff Miller) and mentions plans for travel groups to Israel for those interested in seeing sites firsthand. Key takeaways: archaeology can illuminate and sometimes corroborate biblical narratives, but many discoveries are debated or ambiguous; careful scholarship and discernment are essential; and for the speaker, the archaeological record ultimately points back to the authority and reliability of Scripture. The episode closes with an encouragement to keep digging—both literally in the field and figuratively in God's Word. Duration 30:11

Gold standard PBL isn't a fun project with a poster at the end. Lisa Mireles of PBLWorks explains what a real project based learning classroom looks and sounds like — and how to teach it without falling behind on standards. Lisa Mireles, Ed.D., is Managing Director of Digital Curriculum at PBLWorks (formerly the Buck Institute for Education). She's taught bilingual students in California, led schools in Indonesia and India, served as an IB coordinator, principal, and assistant superintendent, and was named HIDOE Kaua'i Complex Educational Officer of the Year in 2018. In this episode, you'll learn: • What the Gold Standard framework actually contains — seven essential project design elements plus seven project based teaching practices — and why a great project still fails without the teaching moves • What you see and hear in a gold standard PBL classroom: a productive buzz, a project wall with the driving question and milestones, students returning to their need-to-knows, teachers coaching instead of lecturing • Concrete projects outside business and computer science: designing a community microgrid in high school science, designing a custom diamond in middle school geometry, and a second grade community heroes gallery • How PBL turns literacy into an all-day practice — reading, writing, speaking, and listening — rather than something that only happens during the literacy block • Lisa's answer to the time squeeze: coverage isn't enough, and going deeper on power standards teaches more than racing through everything • The principal move worth stealing — have teachers mark what they planned to teach, then revisit after the project to mark what they actually taught deeply. It's always about twice as much. • Where to find more than 100 free project ideas, searchable by grade and subject, that scale up or down for your students Full show notes, resources, and the complete transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e958 If this episode gave you something you can use, take a second to leave a rating or review wherever you're listening.

Longtime Phoenix-based professional strongman Jerry Pritchett (Chickasaw) isn't ready to retire just yet. For now, his focus is on his son, Bubba, who at 15 years old, recently locked out a 615-pound deadlift at a competition. Pritchett is a veteran strongman and powerlifter who was named America's Strongest Man in 2017 and was later named a World's Strongest Man finalist. Other Native strongmen who have earned professional titles like Pritchett is Harold “Iron Bear” Collins (Lumbee). Collins was a popular competitor in the 1990s who broke six Guinness World Records, one for pulling a 50,433-pound semitruck and flatbed trailer 160 feet in 44 seconds. In Canada, Colten Sloan (Whitefish Lake First Nation) is working hard to join the ranks of these strongmen. In 2021, he became the first Indigenous man in Canada to earn a pro card in the sport and has since competed around the world.

We're back as the duo today, talking through how we're upgrading my driveway “alleyway” spot with a new quarter pipe and a proper fun box so there's real speed, cleaner flow, and a safer way for our daughters to build confidence. It's part DIY skatepark build, part dad life, and part proof that local skate communities still look out for each other when someone posts a project and actually follows through.Then we zoom out to what's happening around Jacksonville. We hit revitalization, the impact of fixing a food desert with new grocery and retail options, and why the city's art and counterculture feel more welcomed lately. And yes, we go full skate nerd on the under-I-95 skatepark plans near Riverside, breaking down what the renderings show and why the “JAX” features could be an all-time landmark for Jacksonville skateboarding.After the break, it's “News With Idiots” and “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes.” We react to Steve Harwell and Smash Mouth nostalgia, wade into messy political hypocrisy, and then close with a run of wild decisions that range from darkly tragic to painfully funny. If you like unfiltered conversation, local Jacksonville talk, skate culture, and headline chaos with real opinions behind it, this one's for you.

Then, author Richard Syrett joins the Midnight Misfits to rewrite music history, exploring the mysterious loaded revolver found at Buddy Holly's fatal plane crash and the chilling theory that British intelligence waterboarded Jimi Hendrix with red wine for a massive insurance payout.

Noam Segal is a longtime research leader across Airbnb, Meta, Twitter, Zapier, Intercom, and Figma, a certified coach, AI builder, and my community research lead. Together, we run the annual Tech Worker Sentiment Survey, now in its second year and one of the largest of its kind: a quantitative study of how people in tech actually feel about their jobs, AI, burnout, and the future of their careers. This year's survey captured responses from thousands of workers across product, engineering, design, research, marketing, data, and sales, and the results are striking.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has split the tech workforce almost exactly in half—one half that's thriving, another that's shaken2. The four emotional archetypes defining tech workers right now (the Energized, the Conflicted, the Disoriented, and the Resentful)3. Why burnout has jumped an alarming 11 points in a single year4. Why nobody in tech would recommend their job to someone entering the industry today5. The #1 fear in tech right now (it's not job loss to AI)6. Why managers are the single biggest lever for employee well-being7.
