We're talking to Riana Crehan for this week's episodes of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol. She last visited the podcast in late 2020 on Episode 83 (tap here to listen!) and plenty has happened since then! Riana shares stories of her time on reality show SAS Australia, her return to the Supercars broadcast team and some insights into the parts of her role that you don't see on TV, how she and Will Davison don't actually see much of each other during race weekends, and talk about their young son Dash. We also talk about the odds of her getting behind the wheel of podcast friend Richard Craill's Aussie Racing Car – although keep in mind, this episode was recorded and produced prior to the car's unfortunate accident at Wanneroo last weekend...  Find the right Castrol product for your vehicle or equipment here with the Castrol Product Finder >> https://www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/home/oil-selector.html V8 Sleuth Superstore >> https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Tony Nash is joined by Connor Crehan, Army veteran and co-host of https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/zero-blog-thirty/id1151856991 (Zero Blog Thirty). You are going to learn why you have to stand up for your convictions, especially in the age of divisive social media and cancel culture, and how “genuine curiosity” can take you places.  In the end, this episode will empower you to own your path, not compare yourself to others, and accept that you cannot control everything in life. “I realized now as I've gotten older that everybody reaches those peaks and valleys at different points in their lives.” “Sometimes you have to fight the human nature to just kinda go with the flow and stand your ground.” ----- 00:40 – Introduction 01:06 – His experience as a member of Army Black Knights Football team at the United States Military Academy, and spending his first year as a commissioned officer as a football coach 01:48 – On being an influential podcaster and mentor: “I never purport to be an expert on anything.” 03:00 – With great platform comes great responsibility 03:39 – One military lesson he continues to practice is authenticity 05:08 – “Learning isn't confined to what you can see in the classroom, or in a meeting room, it's everyday life.” 06:36 – A cinephile, he talks about his “genuine curiosity” about life and things, including movies. 08:18 – He talks about how technology has changed how people communicate with each other. “While technology has been great for society, in some ways it's killed other parts of life.” 08:18 – The movie that had the most impact on him and his Army career was https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265086/ (Black Hawk Down ) 10:35 – One thing he is currently working on is “examining an issue or topic from different vantage points,” as he recognizes that people view the world differently. 11:09 – One thing he strives to get better at: Saying his views and insights even if contrary to that of the public or his podcast co-hosts beliefs. 12:20 – He talks about the human nature to want to be liked but he says you have to stand your ground. But it is easier said than done, he admits, with the current divisive climate on social media. 13:33 – He says he does not want to “fall into the trap” of cable news channels on both ends of the political spectrum. “They follow the talk track of their news networks whether they believe it or not.” 14:13 – For him, authenticity is being true to himself, his beliefs, his values, and the institution that shaped him. 15:29 – Biggest failure: Not working hard enough during his collegiate football career. “You're not gonna see lots of stats in my name.” 17:09 – But this later on taught him resiliency, strong work ethic, and how to be a great team player. 18:01 – He opens up about crying in the locker room after losing to the Navy in his last football game, as he realized he would never get another chance to play college football. 19:15 – He says his other failures all share one thing: Him not reaching the goal and failing to reach his own expectations and standards for himself. 20:03 – Preparation is key. But you got to accept the fact that there are certain things in life you cannot control. 21:46 – On measuring yourself against others and social media projection 23:21 – “I realized now as I've gotten older that everybody reaches those peaks and valleys at different points in their lives.” 24:14 – How is he better than yesterday?

For our September SPOTLIGHT recording we invited a true expert on the topic of advancing LGBTIQ Economic Empowerment - Phil Crehan. He has a great track record in social inclusion and economic development with an LGBTIQ focus. This also brought Phil to the strategic role the World Bank is playing in improving the LGBTIQ well-being, a role that is not enough known. The World Bank Group is the premiere economic development institution in the world not only in terms of its budget, but also in terms of intellectual capital and leverage with governments. There are five parts of the World Bank Group and in this SPOTLIGHT, we focused on the World Bank itself and how this institution can be better understood by LGBTIQ organisations, business owners and people. With this we offer you the unique opportunity to leverage this institution to combat homophobia and transphobia. It is a very new agenda for the World Bank, started about 10 years ago. But now it is one of the internal policies and many of their data analytics, their programs, and their ways of mitigating the risk of exclusion, all has to address also looking at LGBTIQ inclusion. This is an important moment for the whole LGBTIQ community and as Phil said, "as a community, we have every right to engage with the World Bank whether it is in the Headquarters or country offices." And there is also something in addition from Phil we can share with you. He created an LGBTIQ civil society guide to help groups everywhere understand this public institution: https://mrifoundation.global/a-civil-society-guide-to-cracking-the-world-bank. It would not be our SPOTLIGHT if at the end we did not disclose some funny moments from our recording. This time Ludo commented on the size of Belgium and, revealed how ready he was for this recording!

In this episode we consider vital role of play, and what it does to expand a child’s creativity and resilience. Urban sociologist Tamara Mose is an Associate Professor at Brooklyn College, and author of The Playdate: Parents, Children and the New Expectations of Play (NYU Press, 2016). She tells us about the strengths and perils of playdates, and the need for children to have unstructured play. Educational consultant and teacher, Lucy Crehan, is the author of Cleverlands: The Secrets Behind the Success of the World’s Education Superpowers (Random House, 2017), an exploration of the lessons learned from the world’s top-performing education systems. Her research also highlights the importance of play in the learning process. In Finland, where math and reading scores are among the highest in the world, “they don’t start education formally until seven-years-old,” says Lucy. Instead of meeting academic targets in kindergarten or first grade, “they’re focusing on a much broader educational and social development before they start formal learning. Solutions discussed include: The need for diversity during playdates and in children’s lives, and the developmental role played by unsupervised play. The importance of high academic expectations for older children, and the creative role of play during the school year. Richard Davies and Jim Meigs are the host of the terrific podcast “How Do We Fix It?,” on which they talk to the world’s most creative thinkers about, well, how to fix things. Lots of things. Important ones. Highly recommended. You can find “How Do We Fix It” on Apple Podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Emma and Tom are joined by Sally Bethell, Senior Lecturer in PGCE Secondary PE, to discuss the five recommendations at the end of Lucy Crehan's book Cleverlands, in which the intrepid author gets on a plane to find out what lessons can be learned from five countries whose education systems are routinely held up as examples of excellent practice. The final chapter of the book distils everything Crehan learned on her travels into five principles that she feels underly excellent and equitable systems for the education of young people, and Emma, Tom and Sally have plenty to say about these - especially Tom, who is in particularly controversial mood and is now awaiting the arrival of his P45 in the post. The three regular slots - wellbeing, shoutout and something to try - get a whole new level of challenge when Emma and Tom decide to try recording them remotely: Tom's in Cardiff Met and Emma's at home with her dog, meaning that the whole thing takes place without the benefit of eye contact - and with slightly lower sound quality than we've become used to! Tom's got another good reason to go for tea with your colleagues: so you can make them your friends. Emma, meanwhile, combines the shoutout and something to try slots into a comprehensive explanation of live modelling as it applies to extended writing, and how Georgina Saunders, an English student teacher on the Teach First programme, used this to impressive effect in a lesson observation.  

[Deze aflevering is grotendeels in het Engels] Op ResearchEd Mälmo in Zweden raakte ik aan de praat met Lucy Crehan, de auteur van Cleverlands. Zij wilde niet uit de boeken en de statistieken leren waarom landen als Finland en Singapore zo goed scoren op de internationale ranglijsten maar zij wilde er ook echt gaan lesgeven, om daar alles op te snuiven. Haar lessen vatte ze samen in Cleverlands.   Met David Didau praat ik over zijn in het Nederlands te verschijnen boek 'Psychologie voor in de klas', zijn nieuwste boek 'Making kids cleverer'.    

Lucy Crehan har gjort en världen-runt-resa för att hitta svaret på vad det är som gör en skola fantastisk. Vilka aspekter bidrar till hög måluppfyllelse för elever samt trivsel. Denna gång har hon lämnat sin hemmaplan England för att hålla i en konferens i Sverige. Vi passade på att låna några minuter av hennes tid för att förstå framgångsfaktorerna som berör den sociala biten!

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-316 – Matt Crehan - Graphic Running (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4316.mp3] Link epi4316.mp3 Support my Hood-to-Coast Relay for Cancer Research - https://finishcancer2015.everydayhero.com/us/chris-russell-hood-to-coast-for-cancer-research Intro Bumper: Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, depending on where you find yourself physically located on the space-time continuum relative to the orbit, tilt and spin of this muddy rock. This is Chris your host and this is episode 4-316 of the RunRunLive podcast.   Why 4-316? Well, my current numbering scheme topology reflects the different incarnations of the RunRunLive Podcast over the last 7 years.  Some of these incarnations were due to new or failed technology, some because I just felt an inflection point creep up on me like stern, but stealthy, thief in the night.  So…this is version 4 of the podcast and the 316th official episode.  Anyhoo…the current version comes out every 2 weeks.  I try to get them out on Fridays because I know most runners have their long runs on the weekends.  I try to keep it under an hour in length so it fits into your workout.  I cover topics related to endurance sports that interest me.  I interview people related to this, and I salt in some life motivation and balance topics to assist you on your journeys. In today’s show we chat with Matt Chrehan who has produced a graphic novel around the Prefontain story.  I was interested in this because, at least for me, endurance sports is a highly emotional and impactful endeavor – but this epic-ness tends to translate poorly into communication mediums, such as film.   In the first section we’ll go into more detail on water bottles than you ever imagined could exist.  In section two I’m going to give you the race report on my first Olympic Distance triathlon – that I haven’t done yet.  It’s actually this weekend, but through the power of visualization I’m going to tell you how I win my age group.   I’ve had as great couple weeks of training since we last talked.  I feel strong.  I ran a nice 2-hour trial run in the big rain storm a couple weekends back and managed not to run into anything, hit my head OR fall down.  This past weekend was out 4th of July holiday.  I went down to my house on Cape Cod and got some excellent volume in.  Thursday I biked down to Chatham light, ran a 1.5 hour out and back on the beach and biked home.   I got a bit turned around on the ride home and the whole session ended up being close to a 2.5 hour brick.  I always get lost on the Cape because it all looks the same.  It’s like those old Flintstones cartoons where they just repeat the background scenery to save money.  The Cape has no landmarks it’s the same scrub oak and pine and cottages repeated on an infinite loop.   Saturday I did a 1 hour ocean open water swim across Pleasant Bay in Harwich.  It was low tide and I had some challenges trying to stay out of the boat moorings but not scraping my nose against the horseshoe crabs on the bottom.  Then I hopped on Fuji-San and spun out a 2 hour ride on the rail trail.  The rail trail was nuts.  Jammed with holiday traffic.  I was just trying to go for an easy spin and catch up on podcasts.  Whenever I passed a real cyclist they felt compelled to catch me and ride with me.  I guess when some old dude on a rusty old Fuji passes you on the rail trail you have to justify your roadie-credentials.   Then on Sunday I went out for a 2.5 hour long run in the heat of the day.  It was a bit rough, but good preparation for this weekend’s tri.  So, yeah, around 8 hours of endurance training over the weekend plus yardwork and I got to spend some quality time with my wife.  I patched up the small tears that have been appearing in my wetsuit as I use it more.  I have a can of that “Seal Cement” which is this viscous black goop like roofing tar.  It’s like that stuff they use up hear in the North East to fix the cracks in the roads. It works great on wet suits.  I made a bit of a mess with it, my application is not going to earn any artistic awards but functionally it does the trick.   … That sure sounds like a lot of activity as I read through it.   I get the sense that sometimes people think I’m a workaholic.  I don’t think so.  I think that moniker applies to people who are out of balance in the way they pursue their work.  They subsume all aspects of their life to the mindless pursuit of work.  Mindless because they work for the sake of work and not because that work aligns with some purpose.   Workaholics try to lose themselves in work because they are afraid.  They are afraid to confront themselves, to look in the mirror and have to see themselves.  They use work and struggle as a mask or a drug to justify not engaging in life, because it scares them.  It’s an addiction, and like any addiction it allows the addict to abdicate their free will to some other power.   I’m active.  I’m kinetic.  I don’t like idle time.  I believe there is something worthy in spending yourself fully in a noble cause. But I’m not addicted to work.  I drive my own boat and I’m accountable for the direction of that boat.  I’m ok with the chaos of the ocean and the random winds of change that buffet upon it.   That’s what I would like you to think about.  Why do you do what you do?  How does it align with your purpose?  How could you rebalance your life to find more positive stress?   I’ll tell you a secret.  The times when I am most at peace, when I sleep soundly, are those times when I’ve executed well and fully some work that makes a difference.   And for that I am grateful.  On with the show! Section one - Running Tips Water Bottle Deep Dive - http://runrunlive.com/water-bottle-deep-dive Voices of reason – the interviews Matthew J.J. Crehan - www.mattcrehancomics.com On 30th May 2015, Matt Crehan Comics will release The Art of Running: The Steve Prefontaine Story, which tells the story of the legendary American distance runner Steve Prefontaine.  The Art of Running details Prefontaine’s extraordinary life in graphic novel form for the very first time, from growing up in Coos Bay and attending the University of Oregon, to his visit to Munich for the 1972 Olympic Games, and his unfortunate and tragic death at the young age of 24.  Publication of the graphic novel was funded by a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 which raised £5,261 and helped to pay for the artwork and printing costs.  As Prefontaine always saw running as a work of art, his love of the sport is beautifully told through the graphic novel medium where the movement of running can be explored and detailed perfectly. The book will feature a foreword by British distance runner and 1974 European 5000m Champion, Brendan Foster CBE, and will be launched to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Prefontaine’s death.  When asked about The Art of Running project, Matthew said: “I wanted to show the sport of track and field as a real art form, as Prefontaine always thought of it, and give athletes a book that was something different but also inspiring.”  The Art of Running is Crehan’s first published graphic novel, his previous work included the re-launch of classic British comic character Alf Tupper: The Tough of the Track in the pages of Athletics Weekly, as well as having several short comics published by GrayHaven Comics and Ninth Art Press.

Crehan Writer / Letterer / Marketing Executive www.mattcrehancomics.com mattcrehan.1991@gmail.com (+44) 07432 688 034 Section Two – Life Lessons Massachusetts Triathlon Olympic Distance Tri Race Report  - http://runrunlive.com/massachusetts-triathlon-olympic-distance-tri-race-report Outro Ok my friends – that’s it.  Nothing left to do now except gracefully slink towards the exit an hope nobody notices that we split our pants laughing out loud at the antics from episode 4-316 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  I’ve got that triathlon this weekend.  I’m not worried about it.  Assuming I can avoid all the B-movie obstacles it should be fun.  Forecasts are calling for a hot day but even at my leisurely pace I should be back in the barn by 10:00 AM.   I have Fuji-San all cleaned up and ready to go.  I bought as new helmet and have so far avoided bashing my head on anything.   After this race I was going to ride the Hampshire 100 but my MTB buddies aren’t doing it so I may pass.  After that is the epic road trip to Hood to Coast in Portland at the end of August.  I’m still offering a size large, brand new, Team Hoyt, Addidas Jacket with a $65 price tag still on it.  The rules of the game are if you contribute $50 or more to my cause you get a chance to win the jacket!  So far your odds are very good!  Check the show notes for a picture – it’s a super nice jacket.   https://finishcancer2015.everydayhero.com/us/chris-russell-hood-to-coast-for-cancer-research … On the domestic front my garden is having up and down.  Looks like I’m going to get hundreds of pounds of potatoes form my potato box. I’ve got lots of beans.  I’ve got a great crop of berries.  I’m going to get some apples because I managed to prune and spray this year.   My tomatoes and squash aren’t doing very well, which is a disappointment.  And I’ve got a rodent problem.  Not the Chipmunks.  Not the rabbits.  I’ve got a population explosion of woodchucks.  They’ve eaten all my parsley and lettuce and even snacked on some of my cilantro.   They are quite brazen.  I’ve seen a momma and several babies hanging around the yard.  I moved my remaining parsley pot up onto my back deck and they climbed the stairs to get to it!  I decided to bring the fight to them.  Frist my wife and I had some fun throwing smoke bombs down the holes in the front lawn, which although I’m sure is quite useless, creates quite a show and makes you feel like you’re doing something.  I brought out the big trap and baited it with apples.  I’ve caught two of the young ones so far.  You may ask, “What do you do with them when you trap them?” Well, I know it’s bad karma but I was going to drown them in a water barrel.  I mean, I’m a tough guy.  I’ve watched several Al Pacino movies.   But when I tried that the trap was about 4 inches too long so instead I just gave it a nice refreshing bath as it clung to the top of the cage looking at me.   Now, as we all know, it’s illegal to transport and release wild animals.  But if said wild animal just happened to be taking a relaxing ride in the back of my truck, for, you know, purely enjoyment purposes…and the cage just happened to be open when I parked at the trail head for my mountain bike ride…and that hypothetical wild animal chose to exit the cage and the truck at that point in time…well that’s more a case of free will in action than the unlawful redistribution of gophers.  You’d think that old border collie that lives in my house might scare them off.   … Well it’s getting late and I’ve spent too much time on this today.  I’ve got to go grocery shopping and pick up my mountain bike from the repair shop.   Don’t forget to say yes to adventure and sign up for the Wapack Trail race on September 6th at the Windblown ski area in Ipswich New Hamshire and join me for some mountain running smack down fun.  http://wapack.freeservers.com/ … You remember Bruce Van Horn from a couple episodes ago?  I was listening to him recently and he did this bit about how he loves everyone.  He tells people every time they meet someone new to think in their heads “I Love You” and it will force you to have empathy in the interaction.   Well, being from the North East, we are not a very touchy-feely culture.  And the thought of telling random people “I Love You” cracked me up.   I tried this with some of my interactions during the day, and you know what?  It works for me.  It totally changes the interaction.  Not because I love anyone but the process of thinking it is just so culturally absurd it makes me laugh internally, which breaks me out of my frame, which pulls me into the interaction in a new light.   It’s the equivalent of imagining everyone you meet with bunny ears.  It breaks your frame and allows you to approach the interaction unbiased.  Give it a try.  But don’t try to hug me.  And I’ll see you out there.  Closing comments Support my Hood-to-Coast Relay for Cancer Research - https://finishcancer2015.everydayhero.com/us/chris-russell-hood-to-coast-for-cancer-research Http://www.marathonbq.com http://runrunlive.com/my-books
