This is the Progress Powering Tomorrow. Alright, we're here in Phoenix, a CP, clean power, uh, 2025. So I'm, uh. Sitting with Antoine Larvol from, he's a CTO from Windar. Yep. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Uh, we've been, uh, happy enough to get actually to sit inside your booth where it's nice and qui. Quiet and isn't it nice? Yeah. We got glass behind the camera here and people are walking by, walking by, walking by. Um, so this morning, uh, we, we talked yesterday a little bit about what wind photonics does. Yep. Of course, from our, uh, some of our other friends around the world. We've heard about some, some campaigns you've done in the United States, which have been. Really successful. So yeah, congrat good. Congratulations there. Yeah, thank you. Um, and, and as, as a lot of things in the wind industry, Windar, photonics based in Denmark.  Antoine Larvol: Yeah.  Joel Saxum: So you guys, uh, bring it, bring in that Danish [00:01:00]technology. We're here, of course, bringing it to the US market at a CP, the American Clean Power Show. So welcome to the States. Thank you. Um, it's a short one, but a  Antoine Larvol: good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,  Joel Saxum: exactly. So, so I want to talk a little bit about what Windar photonics and, and it is a LIDAR based sensor, correct?  Antoine Larvol: Yes. Right. So. We do continuous wave base, uh, lidar. Yep. Uh, main product is a two beam version mm-hmm. Where you shoot, uh, at 80 meters in front of the turbine. Mm-hmm. And you basically alternate from one beam to the other. And measure wind speed and direction upfront, the, the turbine among others.  Joel Saxum: Right. So we're talking about, uh, if you, if you're in the wind industry, you've ever seen these lidar units that are put actually, you're the cell mounted, correct? Yes. Okay. Yeah. So, and, and, uh, we're looking more on the optimization, retrofit monitoring side of things. Yeah,  Antoine Larvol: exactly. So we've never been a resource assessment company. Yeah. Or we don't look at power curve verification and stuff like that. We really [00:02:00] focus on. Retrofitting those, existing turbines. And then add value to In terms of information to, the customer, Yeah. With the mon monitoring side of things. Yeah. And, from day one, that's been the goal of Windar Making something cheap, robust. That can just stay there and measure with good availability, wind speed, and direction coming to your turbine.  Joel Saxum: I love it. so we wanna squeeze as much as we can outta these turbines. And you guys are increasing AEP that's, the name of the game. Yeah. Right.  Increasing AEP below rated. and then above rated you decrease loads. Increase uptime. and we basically do that by going on the line of the wind direction. that you then feed to the turbine controller and then we can actually adjust the, yaw position of the turbine according to our information. So I want to talk a little bit, we, we chatted a little bit offline about the, technology behind it, right? Yep. And people in the wind industry, if you're around the wind industry around resourcing or you're around optimization, you've heard [00:03:00] lidar. Yep. You know what I mean? And,

In this episode, Alex starts with a recap, going over the events that have occurred between Iran, Israel, and the United States over the last days. He talks about the so-called “ceasefire” and whether it will hold. He also talks about recent, preliminary, reports that show that the strikes may not have destroyed enough enriched uranium. Trump has told his base that the strikes were successful and Alex worries that Trump will now ignore intelligence that says the contrary. Could this change the course of the war and lead to unexpected consequences?

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, part two of our Sophomore Slump series. Boy, that’s a mouthful. Katie Robbert – 00:07 We love alliteration. Christopher S. Penn – 00:09 Yahoo. Last week we talked about what the sophomore slump is, what it looks like, and some of the reasons for it—why people are not getting value out of AI and the challenges. This week, Katie, the sophomore slump, you hear a lot in the music industry? Someone has a hit album and then their sophomore album, it didn’t go. So they have to figure out what’s next. When you think about companies trying to get value out of AI and they’ve hit this sophomore slump, they had early easy wins and then the easy wins evaporated, and they see all the stuff on LinkedIn and wherever else, like, “Oh, look, I made a million dollars in 28 minutes with generative AI.” And they’re, “What are we doing wrong?” Christopher S. Penn – 00:54 How do you advise somebody on ways to think about getting out of their sophomore slump? What’s their next big hit? Katie Robbert – 01:03 So the first thing I do is let’s take a step back and see what happened. A lot of times when someone hits that sophomore slump and that second version of, “I was really successful the first time, why can’t I repeat it?” it’s because they didn’t evolve. They’re, “I’m going to do exactly what I did the first time.” But your audience is, “I saw that already. I want something new, I want something different.” Not the exact same thing you gave me a year ago. That’s not what I’m interested in paying for and paying attention to. Katie Robbert – 01:36 So you start to lose that authority, that trust, because it’s why the term one hit wonder exists—you have a one hit wonder, you have a sophomore slump. You have all of these terms, all to say, in order for people to stay interested, you have to stay interesting. And by that, you need to evolve, you need to change. But not just, “I know today I’m going to color my hair purple.” Okay, cool. But did anybody ask for that? Did anybody say, “That’s what I want from you, Katie? I want purple hair, not different authoritative content on how to integrate AI into my business.” That means I’m getting it wrong because I didn’t check in with my customer base. Katie Robbert – 02:22 I didn’t check in with my audience to say, “Okay, two years ago we produced some blog posts using AI.” And you thought that was great. What do you need today? And I think that’s where I would start: let’s take a step back. What was our original goal? Hopefully you use the 5Ps, but if you didn’t, let’s go ahead and start using them. For those who don’t know, 5Ps are: purpose—what’s the question you’re trying to answer? What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? People—who is involved in this, both internally and externally? Especially here, you want to understand what your customers want, not just what you think you need or what you think they need. Process—how are you doing this in a repeatable, scalable way? Katie Robbert – 03:07 Platform—what tools are you using, but also how are you disseminating? And then performance—how are you measuring success? Did you answer the question? Did you solve the problem? So two years later, a lot of companies are saying, “I’m stalled out.” “I wanted to optimize, I wanted to innovate, I wanted to get adoption.” And none of those things are happening. “I got maybe a little bit of optimization, I got a little bit of adoption and no innovation.” So the first thing I would do is step back, run them through the 5P exercise, and try to figure out what were you trying to do originally? Why did you bring AI into your organization? One of the things Ginny Dietrich said is that using AI isn’t the goal and people start to misframe it as, “Well,” Katie Robbert – 04:01 “We wanted to use AI because everyone else is doing it.” We saw this question, Chris, in, I think, the CMI Slack group a couple weeks ago, where someone was saying, “My CEO is, ‘We gotta use AI.’ That’s the goal.” And it’s, “But that’s not a goal.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:18 Yeah, that’s saying, “We’re gonna use blenders. It’s all blenders.” And you’re, “But we’re a sushi shop.” Katie Robbert – 04:24 But why? And people should be asking, “Why do you need to use a blender? Why do you need to use AI? What is it you’re trying to do?” And I think that when we talk about the sophomore slump, that’s the part that people get stuck on: they can’t tell you why they still. Two years later—two years ago, it was perfectly acceptable to start using AI because it was shiny, it was new, everybody was trying it, they were experimenting. But as you said in part one of this podcast series, people are still stuck in using what should be the R&D version of AI. So therefore, the outputs they’re getting are still experimental, are still very buggy, still need a lot of work, fine-tuning, because they’re using the test bed version as their production version. Katie Robbert – 05:19 And so that’s where people are getting stuck because they can’t clearly define why they should be using generative AI. Christopher S. Penn – 05:29 One of the markers of AI maturity is how many—you can call them agents if you want—pieces of software have you created that have AI built into it but don’t require you to be piloting it? So if you were copying and pasting all day, every day, inside and outside of ChatGPT or the tool of your choice, and you’re the copy-paste monkey, you’re basically still stuck in 2023. Yes, your prompts hopefully have gotten better, but you are still doing the manual work as opposed to saying, “I’m going to go check on my marketing strategy and see what’s in my inbox this week from my various AI tool stack.” Christopher S. Penn – 06:13 And it has gone out on its own and downloaded your Google Analytics data, it has produced a report, and it has landed that report in your inbox. So we demoed a few weeks ago on the Trust Insights live stream, which you can catch at Trust Insights YouTube, about taking a sales playbook, taking CRM data, and having it create a next best action report. I don’t copy-paste that. I set, say, “Go,” and the report kind of falls out onto my hard drive like, “Oh, great, now I can share this with the team and they can at least look at it and go, ‘These are the things we need to do.'” But that’s taking AI out of experimental mode, copy-paste, human mode, and moving it into production where the system is what’s working. Christopher S. Penn – 07:03 One of the things we talk about a lot in our workshops and our keynotes is these AI tools are like the engine. You still need the rest of the car. And part of maturity of getting out of the sophomore slump is to stop sitting on the engine all day wondering why you’re not going down the street and say, “Perhaps we should put this in the car.” Katie Robbert – 07:23 Well, and so, you mentioned the AI, how far people are in their AI maturity and what they’ve built. What about people who maybe don’t feel like they have the chops to build something, but they’re using their existing software within their stack that has AI built in? Do you think that falls under the AI maturity? As in, they’re at least using some. Something. Christopher S. Penn – 07:48 They’re at least using something. But—and I’m going to be obnoxious here—you can ask AI to build the software for you. If you are good at requirements gathering, if you are good at planning, if you’re good at asking great questions and you can copy-paste basic development commands, the machines can do all the typing. They can write Python or JavaScript or the language of your choice for whatever works in your company’s tech stack. There is not as much of an excuse anymore for even a non-coder to be creating code. You can commission a deep research report and say, “What are the best practices for writing Python code?” And you could literally, that could be the prompt, and it will spit back, “Here’s the 48-page document.” Christopher S. Penn – 08:34 And you say, “I’ve got a knowledge block now of how to do this.” I put that in a Google document and that can go to my tool and say, “I want to write some Python code like this.” Here’s some best practices. Help me write the requirements—ask me one question at a time until you have enough information for a good requirements document. And it will do that. And you’ll spend 45 minutes talking with it, having a conversation, nothing technical, and you end up with a requirements document. You say, “Can you give me a file-by-file plan of how to make this?” And it will say, “Yes, here’s your plan.” 28 pages later, then you go to a tool like Jules from Google. Say, “Here’s the plan, can you make this?” Christopher S. Penn – 09:13 And it will say, “Sure, I can make this.” And it goes and types, and 45 minutes later it says, “I’ve done your thing.” And that will get you 95% of the way there. So if you want to start getting out of the sophomore slump, start thinking about how can we build the car, how can we start connecting this stuff that we know works because you’ve been doing in ChatGPT for two years now. You’ve been copy-pasting every day, week, month for two years now. It works. I hope it works. But the question that should come to mind is, “How do I build the rest of the car around so I can stop copy-pasting all the time?” Katie Robbert – 09:50 So I’m going to see you’re obnoxious and raise you a condescending and say, “Chris, you skipped over the 5P framework, which is exactly what you should have been using before you even jump into the technology.” So you did what everybody does wrong and you went technology first. And so, you said, “If you’re good at requirements gathering, if you’re good at this, what if you’re not good at those things?” Not everyone is good at clearly articulating what it is they want to do or why they want to do it, or who it’s for. Those are all things that really need to be thought through, which you can do with generative AI before you start building the thing. So you did what every obnoxious software developer does and go straight to, “I’m going to start coding something.” Katie Robbert – 10:40 So I’m going to tell you to slow your roll and go through the 5Ps. And first of all, what is it? What is it you’re trying to do? So use the 5P framework as your high-level requirements gathering to start before you start putting things in, before you start doing the deep research, use the 5Ps and then give that to the deep research tool. Give that to your generative AI tool to build requirements. Give that along with whatever you’ve created to your development tool. So what is it you’re trying to build? Who is it for? How are they going to use it? How are you going to use it? How are you going to maintain it? Because these systems can build code for you, but they’re not going to maintain it unless you have a plan for how it’s going to be maintained. Katie Robbert – 11:30 It’s not going to be, “Guess what, there’s a new version of AI. I’m going to auto-update myself,” unless you build that into part of the process. So you’re obnoxious, I’m condescending. Together we make Trust Insights. Congratulations. Christopher S. Penn – 11:48 But you’re completely correct in that the two halves of these things—doing the 5Ps, then doing your requirements, then thinking through what is it we’re going to do and then implementing it—is how you get out of the sophomore slump. Because the sophomore slump fundamentally is: my second album didn’t go so well. I’ve gotta hit it out of the park again with the third album. I’ve gotta remain relevant so that I’m not, whatever, what was the hit? That’s the only thing that anyone remembers from that band. At least I think. Katie Robbert – 12:22 I’m going to let you keep going with this example. I think it’s entertaining. Christopher S. Penn – 12:27 So your third album has to be, to your point, something that is impactful. It doesn’t necessarily have to be new, but it has to be impactful. You have to be able to demonstrate bigger, better, faster or cheaper. So here’s how we’ve gotten to bigger, better, faster, cheaper, and those two things—the 5Ps and then following the software development life cycle—even if you’re not the one making the software. Because in a lot of ways, it’s no different than outsourcing, which people have been doing for 30 years now for software, to say, “I’m going to outsource this to a developer.” Yeah, instead of the developer being in Bangalore, the developer is now a generative AI tool. You still have to go through those processes. Christopher S. Penn – 13:07 You still have to do the requirements gathering, you still have to know what good QA looks like, but the turnaround cycle is much faster and it’s a heck of a lot cheaper. And so if you want to figure out your next greatest hit, use these processes and then build something. It doesn’t have to be a big thing; build something and start trying out the capabilities of these tools. At a workshop I did a couple weeks ago, we took a podcast that a prospective client was on, and a requirements document, and a deep research document. And I said, “For your pitch to try and win this business, let’s turn it to a video game.” And it was this ridiculous side-scrolling shooter style video game that played right in a browser. Christopher S. Penn – 14:03 But everyone in the room’s, “I didn’t know AI could do that. I didn’t know AI could make me a video game for the pitch.” So you would give this to the stakeholder and the stakeholder would be, “Huh, well that’s kind of cool.” And there was a little button that says, “For the client, boost.” It is a video game bonus boost. That said they were a marketing agency, and so ad marketing, it made the game better. That capability, everyone saw it and went, “I didn’t know we could do that. That is so cool. That is different. That is not the same album as, ‘Oh, here’s yet another blog post client that we’ve made for you.'” Katie Robbert – 14:47 The other thing that needs to be addressed is what have I been doing for the past two years? And so it’s a very human part of the process, but you need to do what’s called in software development, a post-mortem. You need to take a step back and go, “What did we do? What did we accomplish? What do we want to keep? What worked well, what didn’t work?” Because, Chris, you and I are talking about solutions of how do you get to the next best thing. But you also have to acknowledge that for two years you’ve been spending time, resources, dollars, audience, their attention span on these things that you’ve been creating. So that has to be part of how you get out of this slump. Katie Robbert – 15:32 So if you said, “We’ve been able to optimize some stuff,” great, what have you optimized? How is it working? Have you measured how much optimization you’ve gotten and therefore, what do you have left over to then innovate with? How much adoption have you gotten? Are people still resistant because you haven’t communicated that this is a thing that’s going to happen and this is the direction of the company or it’s, “Use it, we don’t really care.” And so that post-mortem has to be part of how you get out of this slump. If you’re, since we’ve been talking about music, if you’re a recording artist and you come out with your second album and it bombs, the record company’s probably going to want to know what happened. Katie Robbert – 16:15 They’re not going to be, “Go ahead and start on the third album. We’re going to give you a few million dollars to go ahead and start recording.” They’re going to want to do a deep-dive analysis of what went wrong because these things cost money. We haven’t talked about the investment. And it’s going to look different for everyone, for every company, and the type of investment is going to be different. But there is an investment, whether it’s physical dollars or resource time or whatever—technical debt, whatever it is—those things have to be acknowledged. And they have to be acknowledged of what you’ve spent the past two years and how you’re going to move forward. Katie Robbert – 16:55 I know the quote is totally incorrect, but it’s the Einstein quote of, “You keep doing the same thing over and it’s the definition of insanity,” which I believe is not actually something he said or what the quote is. But for all intents and purposes, for the purpose of this podcast, that’s what it is. And if you’re not taking a step back to see what you’ve done, then you’re going to move forward, making the same mistakes and doing the same things and sinking the same costs. And you’re not really going to be moving. You’ll feel you’re moving forward, but you’re not really doing that, innovating and optimizing, because you haven’t acknowledged what you did for the past two years. Christopher S. Penn – 17:39 I think that’s a great way of putting it. I think it’s exactly the way to put it. Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. That’s not entirely true, but it is for this discussion. It is. And part of that, then you have to root-cause analysis. Why are we still doing the same thing? Is it because we don’t have the knowledge? Is it because we don’t have a reason to do it? Is it because we don’t have the right people to do it? Is it because we don’t know how to do it? Do we have the wrong tools? Do we not make any changes because we haven’t been measuring anything? So we don’t know if things are better or not? All five of those questions are literally the 5Ps brought to life. Christopher S. Penn – 18:18 And so if you want to get out of the sophomore slump, ask each of those questions: what is the blocking obstacle to that? For example, one of the things that has been on my list to do forever is write a generative AI integration to check my email for me and start responding to emails automatically. Katie Robbert – 18:40 Yikes. Christopher S. Penn – 18:43 But that example—the purpose of the performance—is very clear. I want to save time and I want to be more responsive in my emails or more obnoxious. One of the two, I want to write a version for text messages that automatically put someone into text messaging limbo as they’re talking to my AI assistant that is completely unhelpful so that they stop. So people who I don’t want texts from just give up after a while and go, “Please never text this person again.” Clear purpose. Katie Robbert – 19:16 Block that person. Christopher S. Penn – 19:18 Well, it’s for all the spammy text messages that I get, I want a machine to waste their time on purpose. But there’s a clear purpose and clear performance. And so all this to say for getting out of the sophomore slump, you’ve got to have this stuff written out and written down and do the post-mortem, or even better, do a pre-mortem. Have generative AI say, “Here’s what we’re going to do.” And generative AI, “Tell me what could go wrong,” and do a pre-mortem before you, “It seems following the 5P framework, you haven’t really thought through what your purpose is.” Or following the 5P framework, you clearly don’t have the skills. Christopher S. Penn – 20:03 One of the things that you can and should do is grab the Trust Insights AI Ready Marketing Strategy kit, which by the way, is useful for more than marketing and take the PDF download from that, put it into your generative AI chat, and say, “I want to come up with this plan, run through the TRIPS framework or the 5Ps—whatever from this kit—and say, ‘Help me do a pre-mortem so that I can figure out what’s going to go wrong in advance.'” Katie Robbert – 20:30 I wholeheartedly agree with that. But also, don’t skip the post-mortem because people want to know what have we been spinning our wheels on for two years? Because there may be some good in there that you didn’t measure correctly the first time or you didn’t think through to say, “We have been creating a lot of extra blog posts. Let’s see if that’s boosted the traffic to our website,” or, “We have been able to serve more clients. Let’s look at what that is in revenue dollars.” Katie Robbert – 21:01 There is some good that people have been doing, but I think because of misaligned expectations and assumptions of what generative AI could and should do. But also then coupled with the lack of understanding of where generative AI is today, we’re all sitting here going, “Am I any better off?” I don’t know. I mean, I have a Katie AI version of me. But so what? So I need to dig deeper and say, “What have I done with it? What have I been able to accomplish with it?” And if the answer is nothing great, then that’s a data point that you can work from versus if the answer is, “I’ve been able to come up with a whole AI toolkit and I’ve been able to expedite writing the newsletter and I’ve been able to do XYZ.” Okay, great, then that’s a benefit and I’m maybe not as far behind as I thought I was. Christopher S. Penn – 21:53 Yep. And the last thing I would say for getting out of the sophomore slump is to have some way of keeping up with what is happening in AI. Join the Analytics for Marketers Slack Group. Subscribe to the Trust Insights newsletter. Hang out with us on our live streams. Join other Slack communities and other Discord communities. Read the big tech blogs from the big tech companies, particularly the research blogs, because that’s where the most cutting-edge stuff is going to happen that will help explain things. For example, there’s a paper recently that talked about how humans perceive language versus how language models perceive it. And the big takeaway there was that language models do a lot of compression. They’re compression engines. Christopher S. Penn – 22:38 So they will take the words auto and automobile and car and conveyance and compress it all down to the word car. And when it spits out results, it will use the word car because it’s the most logical, highest probability term to use. But if you are saying as part of your style, “the doctor’s conveyance,” and the model compresses down to “the doctor’s car,” that takes away your writing style. So this paper tells us, “I need to be very specific in my writing style instructions if I want to capture any.” Because the tool itself is going to capture performance compression on it. So knowing how these technologies work, not everyone on your team has to do that. Christopher S. Penn – 23:17 But one person on your team probably should have more curiosity and have time allocated to at least understanding what’s possible today and where things are going so that you don’t stay stuck in 2023. Katie Robbert – 23:35 There also needs to be a communication plan, and perhaps the person who has the time to be curious isn’t necessarily the best communicator or educator. That’s fine. You need to be aware of that. You need to acknowledge it and figure out what does that look like then if this person is spending their time learning these tools? How do we then transfer that knowledge to everybody else? That needs to be part of the high-level, “Why are we doing this in the first place? Who needs to be involved? How are we going to do this? What tools?” It’s almost I’m repeating the 5Ps again. Because I am. Katie Robbert – 24:13 And you really need to think through, if Chris on my team is the one who’s going to really understand where we’re going with AI, how do we then get that information from Chris back to the rest of the team in a way that they can take action on it? That needs to be part of this overall. Now we’re getting out of the slump, we’re going to move forward. It’s not enough for someone to say, “I’m going to take the lead.” They need to take the lead and also be able to educate. And sometimes that’s going to take more than that one person. Christopher S. Penn – 24:43 It will take more than that one person. Because I can tell you for sure, even for ourselves, we struggle with that sometimes because I will have something, “Katie, did you see this whole new paper on infinite-retry and an infinite context window?” And you’re, “No, sure did not.” But being able to communicate, as you say, “tell me when I should care,” is a really important thing that needs to be built into your process. Katie Robbert – 25:14 Yep. So all to say this, the sophomore slump is real, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your AI journey. Christopher S. Penn – 25:25 Exactly. If anything, it’s a great time to pause, reevaluate, and then say, “What are we going to do for our next hit album?” If you’d like to share what your next hit album is going to be, pop on by our free Slack—go to Trust Insights.AI/analyticsformarketers—where you and over 4200 other marketers are asking and answering each other’s questions every single day about analytics, data science, and AI.

On Saturday night at 7:50 pm ET, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. had entered the war against Iran when he posted: “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” In the minutes after this historic announcement we assembled six of the top experts on this issue: Haviv Rettig Gur, Michael Doran, Mark Dubowitz, Amit Segal, Eli Lake, and Matt Continetti. We discussed it all: what we actually know about the strikes; what it means for Iran's nuclear capabilities, how Iran might respond; why Trump struck now; what this means for the Middle East; and what Trump's national address signalled to the American public, to Israel, and most importantly to Iran. We'll note we recorded this Saturday night starting at 8:30 pm ET as a Free Press live event, and we will be hosting more in days to come.

As athletes, we all know what pre-race anxiety feels like. The difference between elite athletes and those still finding their stride isn't that they don't experience nervousness—they feel it just as much as we do. But they've learned to frame it differently. Coach Steve Magness says it best: "Elite athletes don't feel less anxiety before competition. They feel the same tight chest, sweaty palms, racing heart, and butterflies that the rest of us do. The difference? They've trained themselves to interpret those sensations differently." This shift—from seeing nervousness as a threat to seeing it as a challenge—is where the magic happens. Research shows that high performers don't experience less stress—they just frame it better. Rather than trying to eliminate that anxious feeling, they embrace it, knowing it's a sign that they're ready to rise. Nerves aren't the enemy. In fact, they're your body's way of saying, “You care. Something meaningful is about to happen.” So, instead of running from it, lean into it. Understand that those nerves are helping you prepare, keeping you sharp, and sharpening your focus. They're not a sign of weakness—they're a sign of strength. We can often think that nervousness means something is wrong or that we're not prepared enough. But the reality is, it means you do care. It means your mind and body are ready for the challenge ahead. The goal isn't to eliminate the nerves, it's to work with them. See them as fuel, not fear. Feel them, acknowledge them, and let them guide you forward. When you feel those pre-race jitters, remind yourself: You're about to do something meaningful. Action item: Next time those race-day nerves hit, don't push them away. Instead, breathe into them. Let them be the signal that you're ready for the challenge. Harness that energy to fuel your focus, and remember, those butterflies are pushing you toward greatness. Ready to learn how to channel that energy?  Clear the Mechanism and Rise Above Nervousness before a race can feel overwhelming. But how do you take that energy and channel it into focus instead of letting it distract you? The answer lies in a simple but powerful mindset technique from For the Love of the Game, where Kevin Costner's character, a seasoned pitcher, uses the phrase “Clear the mechanism.” This technique isn't just for baseball—it's something every triathlete can use. When the nerves start to flood your mind, and you feel like you're about to be overwhelmed by the noise, distractions, and pressure, the key is to clear the mechanism. When you clear the mechanism, you're intentionally blocking out everything that isn't directly related to the task at hand. It's like hitting the reset button, shifting your focus from the fear and doubt to the one thing you can control: your next move. Whether it's your swim stroke, your pedal cadence, or your run stride, you zoom in on that one thing and let everything else fade away. Coach Steve Magness reminds us that nerves aren't the enemy—they're a sign that you care, that your body is getting ready. But we can use those nerves to fuel us, not flood us. And just like the pitcher who needs to block out the crowd, the score, and the noise, as a triathlete, you can clear out the mental clutter and focus on what's in front of you. Here's how to apply it: When the nerves hit, take a deep breath, and clear the mechanism. Shut down the distractions, the what-ifs, and the self-doubt. Focus on your next step—the one thing you can control right now. Maybe it's your breath, your form, or the rhythm of your movement. Acknowledge the nerves, then let them guide you forward, not pull you under. By clearing your mental space, you give yourself permission to focus on the task, to be fully present, and to perform at your best. It's not about eliminating the nerves; it's about making them work for you instead of against you.     Action item: Before your next race or workout, practice clearing the mechanism. When you feel overwhelmed, mentally shut out everything except for the next task at hand. Clear the mechanism, focus on your breath, and take control of the moment. You've trained for this. Let the nerves fuel your focus and guide you to greatness.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Strength Recovery Week Training - Strength Strength training is a crucial yet often overlooked component of triathlon preparation. Exercises like reverse lunges, single-leg deadlifts, and quadruped band kickbacks help build unilateral strength and stability, which are essential for efficient running and injury prevention. Core-focused movements such as plank reaches, V-ups, and half-kneeling rotations enhance balance, posture, and power transfer across all three disciplines. Functional exercises like burpees and cross-pull lawnmowers improve overall athleticism, coordination, and cardiovascular resilience. Together, these movements not only boost muscular endurance and joint integrity but also help triathletes maintain form under fatigue, reduce injury risk, and ultimately perform more consistently across swim, bike, and run segments.   Rotate 1-3x through the following exercises doing 10-20 repetitions or 30 to 60 sec efforts of each.   Reverse Lunge Single Leg Deadlifts Half-Kneeling Rotation Plank Reaches Cross Pulls Lawnmower Burpees V Ups One leg Quadruped Band Kickbacks     Fun Segment: Trail Fail or Win!   It's time for Trail Fail or Trail Win! — the game where we throw out some wild off-road triathlon scenarios, and Rich and I decide: was this a total disaster… or a sneaky success in disguise? Some of these could be race-ending nightmares—or just epic stories waiting to happen. Let's find out!   Scenario 1: The Wild Animal Detour Mid-race, a deer darts across the trail and you crash while trying to avoid it. You roll into the bushes, get back on your feet, and still finish 3rd in your age group—leaves and twigs in your helmet included.   Scenario 2: The Wrong-Turn Bonus Miles You miss a poorly marked turn on the trail run, add nearly 1.5 miles to your race, and come in well over your expected time. But… you didn't quit and still finished smiling.     Scenario 3: The Creek Shoe Sacrifice You nail the bike leg and enter the run feeling great… until you sink into a muddy creek crossing and one of your shoes stays behind. You finish the run with one barefoot foot.     Scenario 4: Transition Tent Tantrum Your gear bag somehow ends up in someone else's spot. You panic, yell a few expletives, throw your hands up—and then remember your gear is on the other side of the rack. You recover… barely.     Scenario 5: The Mid-Race Snack Catastrophe You reach for your trail mix on the bike—your new homemade “clean fuel”—and spill it all over your top tube. The rest of the ride, you're being followed by bees. You still PR the course! So whether you're dodging wildlife, losing shoes in creeks, or baiting bees with your snacks, remember—off-road triathlon isn't just a race. It's an adventure. Keep sending us your crazy scenarios, or better yet—live them. And we'll see you next time on Trail Fail or Win!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

Alfred Ezman is back on the show and as our Orlando Magic expert, he puts in his two cents on the Desmond Bane deal and if a wave of NBA trades is coming this summer. Plus, with Orlando now set with its core going forward, did the Lakers just lose out on one of the teams they could have worked out a deal with that would have improved the LA roster?

Welcome back to the Konfidence in the Klutch Podcast with Donald Nelson.  Wishing a Happy Father's Day and Congratulations to my Daughter Bella on her High School graduation (2:20). Konfidence in the Klutch's Deezus gives his Konfident Service Announcement: Reckless Driving (4:00).   Deezus talks politics as usual with thoughts on Iran vs Israel.  Can I come to your house and tell you what you can't have? (8:50).  Deezus then shares his NBA news and playoff thoughts.  Teams tell the Knicks no on talking to their coaches, and the Knicks focus on Brown and Jenkins.  The Grizzlies trade Bane to the Magic for players and four first-round picks.  Kd states that his preferred destinations are where he would sign an extension.  Breakdown of the Finals games three through five (13:30). Deezus then shares his WNBA news with Reese and Charles, who are right in their stances.  CC, Mabrey, Sheldon, and Cunningham were all right in their stances.  I love the physicality; it's part of the game.  The podcast was recorded at 12:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.  Host: Donald Nelson Producer/Engineer: Donald Nelson Music by: Konfidence in the Klutch Productions Subscribe, Stream, or Download:

With the trade of Desmond Bane to Orlando over the weekend, the guys from the LFB ask if this opens the door (or closes) the opportunity for NBA teams (including the Lakers) to make all-in moves sooner rather than later. Tune in as the guys contemplate if the Lakers might be more (or less) inclined to move their biggest trade assets in Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves, after seeing the haul Memphis got in their transaction with the Magic. Plus, we recap Game Five of the NBA Finals and share thoughts on whether there's a clear favorite or if the series looks to close out in a seven-game slugfest. Does the Bane to Orlando trade speed up the timeline on a major move for the Lakers?

The NBA world got caught off guard on Sunday because the first trade of the summer DID NOT involve Kevin Durant. Tune in as the guys discuss the deal made between Orlando and Memphis that sent Desmond Bane, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, and five first-rounders (If you include a pick swap) to new locations. With this big of a trade starting things off before the NBA Finals have even completed, does this mean the Lakers may be dealing as well? Plus, we preview Game Five of the NBA Finals and predict who may have more control over the series after Monday. The wheeling and dealing in the NBA has already begun. Could the Lakers be making trades, too?

In May 2025 the European gymnastics championships took place in the city of Leipzig in Germany. A week prior to the event, I was asked to be part of the BBC broadcasting team covering the European championships from media house in Salford Manchester. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to sit down and watch the apparatus finals live in the studio and then catch up with the earlier events that had taken place throughout the week. In this episode I cover all the big moments from the competition including the team qualification, all around final, mixed team event and individual apparatus finals. The British men have already been back in action following their team gold medal out in Germany at the British team championships. Congratulations to all of the gymnasts that represented their National teams at the European championships it was a real pleasure to watch all of the performances. And this is my story. 

Josh and Gerald share thoughts on the success of the live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon and if this means more people are heading back to the movie theaters. The guys also talk about some of the June video game announcements, and which ones have us looking forward to with great excitement. They also discuss the recent releases of MindsEye, Splitgate 2, and Dune: Awakening, and how one has avoided controversy, one hasn't, and which game just wasn't ready to be debuted. All this, and will the upcoming Harry Potter series on HBO be able to find an audience? The guys are back as they talk the weekend box office, video games, and more on this Father's Day Edition of the Pop Culture Cosmos!Gear up with your favorite Pop Culture Cosmos shirts and gifts in our TeePublic store at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/pop-culture-cosmos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Questions for us?

First up, we plunged headlong into our unofficial Horror Olympics, pitting the recycled slasher spectacle Halloween H2O against the gore-fuelled insanity of Terrifier. Los, my co-host and fellow horror heathen, came in hot with his predictable picks: masked maniacs, jump scares on demand, and “classic” kills that he swears “stand the test of time.” Meanwhile, I defended my unorthodox torchbearers—Disturbia, that suburban teenage thriller where Shia LaBeouf proves you don't need a chainsaw to feel hunted, and Ready or Not, the wildly inventive house-of-cards satire where wedding night turns into lawn-chair carnage. I laid out my argument that clever setup and character-driven tension beat thirty seconds of gratuitous forehead-stabbing any day, and Los grudgingly admitted that yeah, maybe I'm onto something—though he reserves the right to scream “that's so 2004” in my face.Apple's WWDC: When “Liquid Glass” Means “Blinded by the Future”Next, we jumped into Apple's annual pep rally—WWDC 2025—where they unveiled “liquid glass” as if we all suddenly cranked our devices through Drano and into a Black Mirror episode. I recapped the parade of translucent iPhones and speculated that next year we'll be holding our MacBook Air by firelight, because who needs a screen when you can have “milky clarity”? We tore into how Siri is still a glorified paperweight despite promises of AI wizardry, and why the average consumer probably won't care until iOS 26 auto-transforms their phone into a sentient sidekick that orders pizza for them. Los and I marveled at Vision Pro's new “polar vortex mode,” which literally chills your eyeballs to deliver immersion—but at the cost of your retinas. Moral of the story: Apple might soon merge hardware and hallucination, but they still can't figure out why we ask Siri to set alarms and it replies “Good luck with that.”TikTok Ban Scare Round… Whatever This IsIn political theater news, yet another TikTok ban scare is slated for June 19th—cue the gnashing of teeth and frantic downloader guides. I explained why this one's more PR stunt than policy: no executive order on the horizon, just another Washington soundbite designed to keep us distracted while they debate farm subsidies and military spending. Rumor has it Elon Musk weighed in—between tweets about Dogecoin dips—but I assure you, the app empire isn't crumbling (yet). So don't uninstall: keep those 15-second dance routines and cat lip-syncs flowing.TikTok's Jay Renshaw: The “Chit” Series That Actually ChitsSpeaking of TikTok, I fell down the rabbit hole of Jay Renshaw's “Chit” series—videos titled things like “Golf Chit,” “Wedding Chit,” and my personal favorite, “Corporate Chit.” This guy somehow distills every cringe corporate ritual into sub-30-second vignettes that feel like airport bathroom graffiti come to life. I shared my top picks and why, if you need a crash course in humanity's most bizarre habits, this is your masterclass. Warning: you may start narrating your own life with dramatic “Chit” captions—totally normal.Wedding DJ Confessional: When Photographers Duel with CaffeineIn a rare “real life” detour, I recounted my latest gig—spinning tracks at a wedding reception where the photographer, fresh from a bout of over-caffeination, chugged three cans of Hard Mountain Dew thinking it was Sprite. I described the ensuing dad-dance chaos as his shutter finger trembled like a seismic sensor. The bride and groom thought it was performance art. I thought it was a liability. Congratulations to Deb and Kev for capturing every jittery shot of Uncle Bob's twerking meltdown.Joe Exotic for President? Biden's Surprising Pardon PitchOn the political front, we dove into Joe Biden's off-the-cuff suggestion to free Joe Exotic—and no, I'm not making this up for clicks. ..

The guys are back as they get your weekend started with a recap of NBA Finals Game Four and where the series stands heading back to Oklahoma City.
