Solomon Wilcots, analyst for SiriusXM NFL Radio, joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason. Wilcots breaks down the New England Patriots' Super Bowl loss, why one game shouldn't define Drake Maye or Will Campbell, and what Mike Vrabel's leadership means moving forward. He dives into the league's coaching trends, explaining why defensive-minded head coaches may be poised for a resurgence and why being a true “leader of men” still matters most in today's NFL. The discussion also tackles quarterback economics and whether teams should rethink how they hand out massive extensions. From C.J. Stroud's future in Houston to Joe Burrow's long-term outlook in Cincinnati, Wilcots explains why patience and tiered pay structures could reshape roster building. Plus, he weighs in on Maxx Crosby's future with the Raiders, the dynamic between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown in Philadelphia, and what the Bills and Chiefs must fix to stay in the championship hunt. #nfl #maxxcrosby #joeburrow #bengals Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stephanie Fortunato, speaks with Conrado Uribe about the power of networks to break cycles of isolation – and to make “collective imagination” a practical force in how cities evolve. Moving from Medellín to Barcelona to a Latin America-wide network of cultural districts, Conrado reflects on collaboration, governance, and why the real foundations of a district are its people, not its buildings.External references:Conexiones Creativas: Conrado's organisation, designing and delivering projects to strengthen cultural and creative ecosystems. Plataforma de Distritos Creativos y Culturales: The network platform Conrado describes, supporting exchanges across creative districts in the Americas and Europe. Campus Colombias: The convening format Conrado references as a catalyst moment in the organisation's early years. Museo de Antioquia: Museum at the centre of Conrado's Medellín experience and a key cultural anchor in the city. MDE – Encuentro Internacional de Arte de Medellín: The four-year international art encounter organised by Museo de Antioquia, referenced in the episode's Medellín context. LOOP Barcelona: The moving-image platform and festival Conrado mentions as a formative collaboration-led model. Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: The “humans succeed through collaboration” framing Conrado references via Harari's work. “Scenius, or Communal Genius” (Wired): A widely cited explainer of Brian Eno's idea of “scenius” that Conrado invokes (collective creativity over lone genius). About our guest:Conrado Uribe Pereira, is a curator and cultural strategist, and Content Director at Conexiones Creativas, the Colombia-founded platform behind a growing network of creative and cultural districts across Latin America and parts of Southern Europe. In the episode, he traces how his work in Medellín (including at the Museo de Antioquia) and later in Barcelona shaped his conviction that districts succeed when they invest first in talent (“software”), then governance (“artware”), and only then in infrastructure. +

The New England Patriots' Super Bowl defeat was a disappointment for fans, but the team's return to the national stage also served as a reminder of the role the Greater Boston Area played in the country's founding.

Every Big Law attorney eventually faces a defining moment—whether they talk about it openly or keep it quietly tucked away. It's the point where the partner track feels closer than ever, yet somehow less appealing. Titles loom. Expectations shift. Compensation math stays murky. And the question becomes unavoidable: Is this really what success looks like?In this episode of Inventive Journey, host Devin Miller sits down with attorney Matthew Fornaro to explore that exact crossroads. Matthew shares his candid journey from Big Law associate to firm owner, unpacking the realities most attorneys don't learn until they're already deep inside the system.The conversation pulls back the curtain on partnership economics—how bonuses are calculated, why firm-wide performance can outweigh individual results, and how “making partner” often comes with strings attached that aren't discussed in recruiting brochures. Matthew explains why the prestige of Big Law doesn't always translate into autonomy, clarity, or control.From there, the discussion shifts to what happens when attorneys choose the exit ramp. Starting a firm doesn't mean instant freedom—it means responsibility. Revenue resets to zero. Systems disappear. You become the attorney, marketer, operations manager, and strategist all at once. Matthew walks through what those early years actually look like, including lean periods, uncomfortable learning curves, and the slow process of building momentum.A major theme of the episode is the business education gap in law. Law school teaches legal analysis, not client acquisition or firm management. Matthew shares how targeted entrepreneurship programs and hands-on experience helped him close that gap, turning trial-and-error into systems and sustainability.Technology also plays a key role in modern firm ownership. Matthew discusses how tools—especially when used responsibly—can dramatically reduce overhead, improve efficiency, and allow solo and small firm attorneys to compete without recreating Big Law infrastructure. He's also clear about the limits: AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgment, and careless use can do real damage.This episode isn't anti–Big Law. It's pro–intentional decision-making. Some attorneys thrive on the partner track. Others realize that ownership, flexibility, and equity matter more than titles. The real risk isn't choosing one path over the other—it's drifting into a future by default.If you're an attorney questioning the long-term tradeoffs of partnership, curious about firm ownership, or simply trying to define success on your own terms, this conversation offers an honest, grounded perspective from someone who's lived both sides.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

This episode of Cruise News examines a fascinating split-screen moment in the cruise industry, where major ports are moving in completely opposite directions. The Port of Los Angeles has selected Pacific Cruise Terminals to build a next-generation outer harbor terminal designed for the biggest ships afloat, complete with shore power and a waterfront destination experience. The port set records in 2025 with 241 cruise calls and 1.6 million passengers.Meanwhile, the Port of New Orleans continues its remarkable consistency, topping 1 million cruise passenger movements for the ninth consecutive year. The city's unique position as the only US home port supporting both ocean and river cruises gives it a distinctive edge.On the other side of the Atlantic, Amsterdam is weighing a dramatic proposal to ban ocean-going cruise ships entirely by 2035. City officials have calculated that eliminating ships is actually cheaper than relocating the terminal, while improving livability. The episode explores what this growing European pushback means for the future of city-center cruising.

In this episode of Torsion Talk, Ryan Lucia breaks down a timely article by Joseph Roberts (AQUED) titled “At a Crossroad Again: Navigating the Transitions Shaping the Garage Door Industry.” Ryan walks through the three core pillars of the article and adds his own real-world perspective from the dealer side, including what he agrees with, what he challenges, and what he believes is coming next for the garage door business.Ryan opens with quick industry updates, including a behind-the-scenes look at his new studio build, early signals that steel pricing may rise due to supply and demand pressures, and what he's seeing in marketing performance as clicks continue to shift in an AI-driven search landscape. He also shares plans for Markinuity and GDU at the IDA Expo, including a booth presence, potential live podcast recording, giveaways, and a private event.From there, Ryan dives into the first pillar: market segmentation and specialization. He discusses the push toward residential-only or commercial-only strategies, why he doesn't fully agree that doing both automatically makes you a generalist, and how seasonality and revenue stability can make multi-segment operations smarter when structured correctly. He also explains why he split his commercial and residential websites, how Google rewards specialization, and what it takes to market effectively to B2C homeowners versus B2B commercial buyers.The second pillar is where Ryan goes deepest: the growing tension in dealer and vendor relationships. He addresses consolidation at the manufacturer level, the shifting OEM-dealer dynamic, and why dealers must stop accepting one-sided arrangements. Ryan talks candidly about sales rep performance in the industry, the real costs dealers absorb when manufacturers miss on quality control, shipping, or accuracy, and why multi-manufacturer sourcing can protect a business. He gives credit where it's due by highlighting manufacturers he believes are doing things well, while also calling out common operational breakdowns that create expensive dealer-side problems.Finally, Ryan ties in the third pillar: ownership changes and exit strategy. He explains why succession, private equity, and acquisition timelines should influence marketing decisions, budgets, and business strategy. Ryan closes with a blunt but optimistic view of where the industry is headed, why the “purge” and consolidation are real, and what focused dealers must do now to compete, execute, and win in the next 5–10 years.Find Ryan at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://garagedooru.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aaronoverheaddoors.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://markinuity.com/⁠Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://sommer-usa.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surewinder - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surewinder.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stealth Hardware - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quietmydoor.com/⁠

Friend of Crossroads Rickey Bolden shares about the beauty of a new thing.

The toughest crossroads you'll face as a leader isn't a strategic decision—it's the moment you discover something you didn't know and must choose between defending yourself or taking a transformational step. In this episode, we explore that vulnerable space between "I didn't know" and "Now I do!" where humility battles pride and one small step separates knowledge from wisdom.Drawing from Scripture and real leadership experience, we examine why 83% of leaders say people development is crucial yet only 5% actually do anything about it, how the Holy Spirit guides us into transformational truth through that still, small voice, and why your role as a leader isn't more important than anyone else's—you're simply one part of the body of Christ working in interdependence.If you've ever stood at that crossroads wondering whether to defend what you've always done or take that transformational step, this episode is for you.Read or Download the Full Article Host: Rodney CoxEmail us at information@ministryinsights.comTweet us at @Insights_IntlFollow us on LinkedInFollow us on FacebookThe podcast is a production of Ministry Insights.

With Microsoft shares down more than 15% year-to-date, Michelle zeros in on a debate that couldn't be timelier for investors. Microsoft splits Wall Street - one broker waves the red flag, another doubles down on AI-driven upside. Who’s right? Microsoft is at the heart of a sharp broker divide, with Melius Research downgrading the stock over free cash flow pressures while D.A. Davidson turns bullish on the AI ecosystem surrounding OpenAI. We unpack why one camp is worried about subscription growth and capital intensity, while the other sees long-term operating leverage from AI adoption. From the US to Japan, markets also react to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election win - and Warren Buffett’s winning Japan strategy. Our UP or DOWN segment checks in on Montage Technology, Novo Nordisk, NatWest, and Oracle amid volatile global trading.

Inspired by Richard Wagner's idea of the total artwork, European modernist artists began to pursue multimedia projects that mixed colors, sounds, and shapes. Dr. Polina Dimova's At the Crossroads of the Senses: The Synaesthetic Metaphor Across the Arts in European Modernism (Penn State UP, 2024) traces this new sensory experience of synaesthesia—the physiological or figurative blending of senses—as a modernist phenomenon from its scientific description in the late nineteenth century to its prevalence in the early twentieth. Structured around twenty theses on synaesthesia, this book explores the integral relationship between modernist art, science, and technology, tracing not only how modernist artists perceptually internalized and absorbed technology and its effects but also how they appropriated it to achieve their own aesthetic, metaphysical, and social goals. Through case studies of prominent multimodal artists—Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Richard Strauss, Aleksandr Scriabin, Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka, Andrei Bely, and Rainer Maria Rilke—At the Crossroads of the Senses reveals the color-forms and color-sounds that, for these artists, laid the foundations of the world and served as the catalyst for the flourishing exchanges among the arts at the fin de siècle. Rooted in archival research in Russia, Germany, France, and the Czech Republic, At the Crossroads of the Senses taps overlooked scientific sources to offer a fresh perspective on European modernism. Sensory studies scholars, literary critics, and art and music historians alike will welcome its many contributions, not least among them a refreshing advocacy for a kind of sensuous reading practice. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
