Drummer and composer Marcus Gilmore looks to the creative openness of his drum elders – like his grandfather, Roy Haynes, the late tabla master Zakir Hussain, or renaissance man and drummer Milford Graves - and underscores the drum set as melodic instrument – exploiting all of the potential of the components – bending notes, playing with the natural vibrations, or augmenting his set up with Sunhouse Sensory Percussion. (With thanks to Modern Drummer Magazine's June 2019 issue.) He joins us in-studio to amaze and delight with his percussive sorcery. (From the Archvies, 2019).  – Caryn HavlikSet list: 1. Silhouwav 2.

The conversation continues on Discourse, for our Science of Sport Supporters. Join now with a small monthly pledge for access to the best sports science discussion community aroundIn the Spotlight this week, we revisit a recurring theme to explore whether a paper claiming no advantage for males who identify as women has any validity, and we cover some news from the world of sport and health.17:31 Our main focus is on a systematic review, published last week, claiming that evidence suggests no physical differences and thus no sporting advantages in trans identified males. We explain why the paper is misleading, and how the authors and journal ignored very obvious flaws in the research to arrive at their concussion.1:31 We also discuss an interview given by Imane Khelif in which the Algerian boxer confirms what was already widely known about male advantage, as well as some surprising details about suppressing testosterone, and defiance and denial about male advantage.36:44 In sports action, Femke Bol made an 800m debut indoors - we discuss the performance and what it tells us of her ceiling.43:20 Serena Williams is making a return, but appeared in a Superbowl halftime advertisement to promote ozempic for weight loss, which triggered a wave of criticism and fear about the displacement of exercise, diet and responsibillty for weight loss.

Security doesn't fail because you missed a tool, it fails because “secure today” tricks you into relaxing tomorrow. This episode exposes why the real fight isn't compliance… it's whether your defenses hold up once attackers hit you with machine-speed pressure. Ron sits down with Sonali Shah, CEO of Cobalt, to talk about how human-led, AI-powered penetration testing is evolving into full-spectrum offensive security. Sonali shares how Cobalt can start a test in 24 hours, push findings directly into Slack/Teams and Jira, and use learnings from 5,000+ pentests a year to continuously sharpen what gets caught. The big takeaway: automation finds the easy stuff as humans find the business-logic traps and attack chains that actually break companies.

In today's episode, I welcomed Russ Robertson, Brewery Operations Director at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, North Carolina.

Smucker, and finally his return to the craft beer world at Highland. Russ shared stories of career pivots, the evolution of brewing operations, and how innovation and family have remained at the center of his professional life. Russ Robertson brings deep expertise, having started his career at Miller and working his way up through production and packaging in several states. With stops in Milwaukee and Maryland, Russ amassed years of large-scale brewing and operations experience.

Leadership advisor and author Greg Morley joins me to unpack what it actually takes to rebound from setbacks—and why resilience isn't an individual trait as much as a relational one.Most conversations about adversity focus on grit, mindset, or personal toughness. This episode doesn't. Greg and I explore what happens after layoffs, career pivots, health crises, and identity shifts—and why the people who rally fastest are rarely the ones who go it alone.Drawing from over 30 years in global HR leadership, and from interviews conducted for his upcoming book Rally, Greg shares lessons from individuals who endured job loss, serious illness, organizational upheaval, and even genocide. The common thread isn't bravado. It's perspective, learning velocity, and community depth.We discuss why layoffs feel existential, how high burn rates trap professionals in fragile career paths, and why optionality comes from lowering fixed costs—both financial and psychological. We also examine the hidden tension between success and validation, and why redefining what “winning” means is often the first step toward rebuilding.This isn't a conversation about avoiding setbacks. It's about designing a life resilient enough to absorb them.The lesson isn't endurance for its own sake.It's adaptability, self-reflection, and tending the relationships that hold when titles fall away.TL;DR* Resilience is less about toughness and more about future orientation* Recovery speed determines long-term trajectory* Community acts as long-term insurance against career shocks* High fixed costs limit professional flexibility* Continuous learning expands rebound opportunities* Validation through status or possessions creates fragile identity* Simplicity increases adaptability* Listening across differences builds durable relationshipsMemorable Lines* “Rally isn't about pretending nothing happened—it's about moving forward with what you learned.”* “Your network is a long-term investment, not a short-term transaction.”* “Lower the bar you have to step over, and the world opens up.”* “You can't control the shock—but you can control the response.”* “Resilience lives in community, not isolation.”GuestGreg Morley — Leadership advisor, former global HR executive, and authorAuthor of Bond: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion and Connection and the forthcoming Rally, focused on resilience, recovery, and leadership through adversity.

#308 Most gym owners don't lose clients because something is obviously broken. They lose them because nothing is intentionally getting better. In this conversation, Devin Gage shares how his thinking around community, leadership, and retention has evolved as his business has grown. Even after hitting major revenue milestones, Devin realized that success doesn't remove problems, it simply reveals new ones. We talk about why people don't give up on identity, how unintentional client journeys quietly hurt retention, and why constant improvement needs to apply everywhere including team meetings and leadership communication. This episode is a deep dive into building belonging by design, not by accident. What You'll Learn Why retention is often an identity problem, not a programming problem How cognitive dissonance shows up in client behavior and churn Why client journeys and retention systems should never be accidental The four layers of belonging and where most gyms stop too early How social events, referrals, and engagement create "social stakes" Why Devin still faced leadership challenges after crossing $1M in revenue How objective scorecards remove emotion from accountability Why Devin gathers 360-degree feedback from his team How constant improvement applies to leadership, meetings, and culture Key Concepts Discussed Belonging as a retention strategy Identity and client commitment Leadership development at every stage Objective accountability and scorecards Capacity, growth thresholds, and team readiness Continuous improvement in systems and people Who This Episode Is For Gym owners thinking deeply about retention Leaders who want stronger teams, not just more revenue Owners who've grown but still feel friction internally Anyone who wants to build a business that actually lasts Check out this free tool Devin is providing to our listeners to audit and improve your client retention.  Check out Devin's podcast here.

This episode covers: • Longevity Influence In The Epstein Files A new DOJ document release tied to the Epstein investigation pulled physician and longevity influencer Peter Attia into the spotlight, after reports showed he appeared in the files more than 1,800 times and CBS News pulled a planned rebroadcast of its 60 Minutes profile. Dave breaks down why this story matters beyond headlines: longevity relies heavily on trust, authority, and influence, and when those foundations are shaken it exposes how fragile centralized expertise can be. He explains how biohackers can protect themselves by diversifying information sources, understanding mechanisms instead of personalities, and building health strategies that don't collapse when one voice disappears. • Source: https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/cbs-news-pulls-peter-attia-60-minutes-segment-epstein-1236650930/ • Age-Reversal Gene Therapy Enters Human Trials Life Biosciences received FDA authorization to begin the first U.S. human trial of a partial epigenetic reprogramming gene therapy in the eye, using three Yamanaka factors to restore function in damaged retinal cells. Dave explains why eyes are the ideal first testing ground, what partial reprogramming actually means, and why this marks a shift from longevity theory into real clinical testing. He also clarifies what success would and would not mean for whole-body rejuvenation, and how to separate legitimate gene-therapy advances from consumer products that only claim to affect biological age. • Source: https://fortune.com/2026/01/30/billionaires-longevity-aging-fda-human-clinical-trial-life-biosciences/ • Continuous Ketone Monitoring Moves Toward Reality Wearable continuous ketone monitoring is advancing beyond finger-stick meters, with companies adapting the same model that made continuous glucose monitors mainstream. Dave explains why this is a major upgrade for metabolic flexibility, keto diets, fasting, and diabetes risk management. He breaks down how real-time ketone data can reveal patterns missed by spot checks, and why biohackers should think ahead about data ownership, integration, and how ketone signals interact with glucose, sleep, stress, and training. • Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-market-blood-ketone-meters-140900796.html • Injectable, Wireless Brain Implants Without Surgery Researchers are developing nano-scale, wireless brain implants capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier without open surgery, opening the door to a new class of neural interfaces. Dave connects this research to other circuit-level interventions like sound and light stimulation, explaining the broader shift from targeting molecules to tuning brain networks. He also addresses the ethical risks, including consent, privacy, and neuro-surveillance, and why biohackers should track this space early rather than after it becomes normalized. • Source: https://longevity.technology/unlocked/longevity-news-roundup-week-5-2026/ • Generic GLP-1 Drugs Could Reshape Global Metabolic Health India's Sun Pharma is preparing to launch a generic semaglutide-style injectable as patent protections expire, signaling a major price drop and access expansion for GLP-1 drugs. Dave explains why this could transform obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease management worldwide, while also highlighting the risks of muscle loss and metabolic weakness if these drugs are used without proper training and nutrition. He shares how biohackers should think about stacking GLP-1s intelligently, with resistance training, protein intake, and long-term maintenance strategies. • Source: https://longevity.technology/unlocked/longevity-news-roundup-week-5-2026/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research.

The first biography of the revolutionary political prisoner who laid the foundation for contemporary abolitionist struggles and Black anarchism. A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre (AK Press, 2025) is a political biography of one of the most important revolutionary figures of the twentieth century in the United States. Martin Sostre (1923–2015) was a Black Puerto Rican from East Harlem who became a politicized prisoner and jailhouse lawyer, winning cases in the early 1960s that helped secure the constitutional rights of incarcerated people. He opened one of the country's first radical Black bookstores and was scapegoated and framed by police and the FBI following the Buffalo rebellion of 1967. He was sentenced by an all-white jury to thirty-one to forty-one years. Throughout his nine-year imprisonment, Sostre transformed himself and the revolutionary movements he was a part of, eventually identifying as a revolutionary anarchist and laying the foundation for contemporary Black anarchism. During that time, he engaged in principled resistance to strip frisks for which he was beaten eleven times, raising awareness about the routinized sexual assault of imprisoned people. The decade-long Free Martin Sostre movement was one of the greatest and most improbable defense campaign victories of the Black Power era, alongside those to liberate Angela Davis and Huey Newton. Although Sostre receded from public view after his release in 1976, he lived another four decades of committed struggle as a tenant organizer and youth mentor in New York and New Jersey. Throughout his long life, Martin Sostre was a jailhouse lawyer, revolutionary bookseller, yogi, mentor and teacher, anti-rape organizer, housing justice activist, and original political thinker. The variety of strategies he used and terrains on which he struggled emphasize the necessity and possibility of multi-faceted and continuous struggle against all forms of oppression in pursuit of an egalitarian society founded on the principles of “maximum human freedom, spirituality, and love.” Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

In this episode of Personal Mastery Training, Alvin dives into a powerful lesson about the words we use and the standards we set for ourselves. A simple phrase—"for my age"—can unconsciously limit what you believe is possible. Instead, Alvin challenges us to raise the bar and refuse the bare minimum, no matter our age.   Key Highlights: Language shapes your reality: Words have a subconscious impact. Saying things like "I'm doing well for my age" can subtly reinforce mediocrity. Refuse to accept the average: Alvin emphasizes not comparing yourself to what's typical for your age, profession, or circumstance. Set your own standards. Standards over validation: Fitness, health, and personal growth should be about meeting your own expectations, not pleasing others. Mindset matters: Wherever you excel, it's likely because you stopped accepting "average" as a benchmark. Change starts with a decision: Deciding you've had enough of "for my age" thinking can instantly reset your mindset. Keep elevating your game: Turn ceilings into floors, then push beyond them. Continuous growth is possible at any stage of life.   Don't settle for the excuse of age or circumstance. Pay attention to your language, challenge the limits you've unconsciously accepted, and keep raising your standards. As Alvin reminds us: relentless effort and high standards aren't just for the young—they're for anyone committed to their personal mastery.
