The gap between being great in college and thriving as a pro is smaller than a square of grass, and that's exactly where Tommy McCabe lives. We sit down with the Oakland Roots midfielder to unpack how a backyard obsession, a London childhood, and the Jersey hotbed launched a journey through youth national teams, Notre Dame, MLS, and the USL Championship. Tommy brings calm clarity to a noisy landscape: the right path isn't a league acronym, it's the daily training environment that pushes you while helping you belong.We dive into the core pro separators, awareness, scanning, and first touch, and why the game gets tighter and faster with every level. Tommy explains how to keep the ball and structure under pressure, how to master the basics without boredom, and why decision-making starts with seeing the right picture before the ball arrives. From there, we talk culture: the best clubs build environment, connection, and belonging. He shares candid insights on roster turnover, improving USL contracts, and the delicate balance between opportunity and stability that shapes a season and a career.Curious about MLS vs USL differences, player lifestyle, and what promotion and relegation could mean for the American game? Tommy offers a measured view rooted in player welfare and professional standards while still embracing the excitement of higher stakes. We also look ahead to Oakland's potential on and off the field, training at the former Raiders facility, and turning a historic stadium into a fortress. If you care about player development, coaching, and what truly makes a professional, this conversation will sharpen your lens.If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share it with a teammate or coach, and leave a review to help more people find the show. What's the one habit you think separates a pro from the rest?

In this conversation, Chris Trottie (Trottie Golf) pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to walk away from corporate security, bet on yourself, and build a data-driven golf brand from scratch—all while being a present dad, husband, and serious player.  We dig into identity, pressure, energy management, and how to use data and equipment the right way to actually lower your scores instead of just chasing new gear. In this episode, you'll learn: How Chris reinvented himself from tour rep to global brand—and the identity he had to let go of. Why he spent five years quietly preparing his "rope bridge" before finally making the jump. How to use data to build unshakable confidence in your game and your business decisions. The overlooked power of time to think—and why surfing and golf became his "boardroom." How to set realistic expectations on the course using dispersion, not fantasy. Why your clubs should evolve as your handicap drops—and when to get re-fit. How to structure your days, guard your energy, and use "treats" and trips as ROI, not guilt. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Data is the antidote to doubt in both golf and business; when the numbers prove it works, you stop negotiating with your fear. If your equipment isn't evolving as your game improves, your clubs become a bottleneck, not a competitive advantage. Most golfers don't struggle with talent—they struggle with expectations that don't match their actual dispersion and ability. Time isn't your most valuable currency—high-quality energy is, and every late night, drink, or distraction taxes your upside. You can't go far alone; building a trusted team around your strengths multiplies your impact while you stay in your zone of genius. Strategic self-rewards—cars, trips, retreats, club memberships—aren't indulgences, they're symbols and fuel that keep you chasing the next level. Key Quotes: "I realized the only way I was going to unlock my full potential was to back myself—and at some point, not jumping became the bigger risk." "None of the businesses I'm involved in work without me; once I accepted that, every negotiation and decision became a lot clearer." "If your expectations are higher than what the data says you're capable of, you're signing up for constant disappointment and terrible decisions on the course." "I spent five years building a rope bridge into a concrete bridge—by the time I stepped on it, I'd have been an idiot not to go." "You can work three weeks insanely hard and not see a nickel, then have five quiet days and everything hits—that's the reality of betting on yourself." "If you want your name to mean something in this game, you have to risk more than the person who's happy staying on the paved road." "Most people dream of success; the few who actually get it are the ones who wake up, protect their energy, and work hard at it every single day."

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Margaret Cali, a Fertility and Mindset Coach and founder of Cali Coaching. Margaret shares her deeply personal fertility journey, which began at age 25 and included miscarriage, PCOS, medication complications, emotional burnout, and years of feeling lost and disconnected from herself. After stepping away from the relentless cycle of trying to conceive and focusing on healing her nervous system, mindset, and emotional wellbeing, Margaret went on to conceive successfully through IVF at age 40. Her story is a powerful reminder that fertility is not just a medical journey, it is an emotional, mental, and whole-body experience. In this conversation, we explore what burnout during fertility really looks like, why emotional support is so often missing from fertility care, and how rebuilding your inner world can transform not only your fertility journey, but your life. Margaret also shares the tools that helped her heal and introduces her RISE Method, an emotional readiness approach designed to support women at every stage of trying to conceive. Key Takeaways:  Fertility struggles affect the nervous system, identity, and emotional wellbeing, not just the body Burnout can block your ability to receive, restore, and reconnect with yourself Emotional healing is not time wasted, it is foundational to fertility and long-term wellbeing Small, consistent shifts create powerful transformation over time You don't have to carry the emotional weight of fertility alone Guest Bio:  Margaret Cali (@margaretcali.au) is a Fertility and Mindset Coach and founder of Cali Coaching. After a decade-long fertility journey marked by miscarriages, PCOS, medication complications, and profound emotional burnout, Margaret spent five years rebuilding her inner world. That transformation later paved the way for her successful IVF journey at age 40. Drawing from her lived experience, 30 years in education, and her commitment to filling the emotional gap in fertility care, Margaret developed The RISE Method, an emotional readiness approach that helps women reconnect with themselves, strengthen their resilience, and navigate fertility challenges with clarity and calm. Her work is grounded in the philosophy that guided her own healing: to embrace the process, transform with purpose, and empower your future. This guiding belief is one she now shares with women who feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected during their fertility journey. Margaret now supports women at every stage of trying to conceive, helping them feel emotionally prepared, deeply understood, and anchored in hope.

In this conversation, Wade discusses the essential financial goals of retirement, encapsulated in the concept of the four L's: longevity, lifestyle, legacy, and liquidity. He emphasizes the importance of assessing financial preparedness through the funded ratio, which compares assets to liabilities. The discussion also covers safe withdrawal rates, suggesting a rate of 4.5% based on the funded ratio approach. Finally, Wade highlights the significance of implementing variable spending strategies to enhance retirement enjoyment and financial security.   Takeaways The four L's of retirement are longevity, lifestyle, legacy, and liquidity. Longevity refers to essential expenses that must be covered regardless of lifespan. Lifestyle expenses are discretionary and enhance quality of life in retirement. Legacy goals involve what one wishes to leave for the next generation. Liquidity is crucial for managing unexpected expenses in retirement. The funded ratio helps assess financial preparedness for retirement. A funded ratio of 100% or higher indicates being on track for retirement. The safe withdrawal rate based on the funded ratio is 4.5%. Variable spending strategies can allow for higher initial withdrawal rates. The funded ratio approach provides more confidence in spending during retirement.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley is joined by Atticus Practice Advisor Daniel Struna for a candid conversation about one of the most consequential decisions a law firm owner can make: whether to merge practices. Drawing on years of experience advising law firm owners, along with Steve's own history with failed mergers, they identify exactly where law firm consolidations go wrong. The problem is rarely legal talent or goodwill. Too often, lawyers merge based on mutual respect or personal chemistry without pressure-testing whether their visions and financial realities actually align. Steve and Daniel walk through the fault lines that undermine mergers early. They explore what happens when partners skip hard conversations about the future of the firm and personal life goals, and why avoiding early financial clarity around compensation structure, origination, and profit splits can lead to frustration later. They also draw a clear distinction between a true merger and what many firms mistakenly create instead: roommates sharing space while everything else remains separate.

Remember when I said I'd quit social media for 30 days in Episode 298? Well, I did it! Kind of. Honestly, the 15-minute limit didn't really work, I kept adding "just 15 more minutes."

In this episode, I share a raw, unfiltered experience from a recent round at Tampa Palms that became an unexpected masterclass on self-talk. What started as a casual round with a random pairing turned into a front-row seat to just how destructive, exhausting, and performance-killing negative inner dialogue can be—especially when it's spoken out loud. We break down why your self-talk is the most influential coach you'll ever have, how negative inner dialogue tightens your body, shortens your patience, and drains your energy, and why swinging from harsh self-criticism straight into "toxic positivity" doesn't work.  This conversation goes beyond surface-level affirmations and into belief systems, destructive mindset programs, and the real cost of living inside a hostile mind. In this episode, you'll learn: Why negative self-talk acts like a terrible caddy that sabotages performance under pressure How self-talk directly impacts your body, decisions, focus, and energy levels The difference between productive neutrality and toxic positivity Why harsh self-criticism feels familiar—but isn't sustainable How core beliefs about worthiness and capability shape your inner dialogue Why inability to receive praise is a major red flag worth exploring How to begin rewiring your self-talk without forcing fake confidence If you've ever felt mentally exhausted, stuck, or frustrated despite knowing what to do, this episode will help you build awareness, reclaim control of your inner dialogue, and start playing—and living—from a calmer, more grounded, more powerful place.

"Most people don't quit because they're incapable—they quit because it's exhausting living inside a hostile mind." "Positive self-talk isn't about lying to yourself; it's about turning the volume down on fear." "You double bogey holes before you tee off with the way you speak to yourself." "Toxic positivity creates friction because it doesn't match what you actually believe." "You don't ignore negative self-talk—you react to it unless you train otherwise."

Bushy Tail: The Curious Squirrel by Florence P Bullis https://www.amazon.com/Bushy-Tail-Squirrel-Florence-Bullis/dp/B0B3VTTDWW Bushy Tail The Curious Squirrel By: Florence P. Bullis The camp may be home for several squirrels, but only one called Bushy Tail, shows up regularly and he is into everything. Bushy Tail, a lively, energetic, inquisitive creature of the forest, reclaims the campground as his permanent residence. Nothing is beyond his ability to investigate and report back to Chatter, his mate. The campers all appear to have fun, especially with a character like Bushy Tail around. If there are more squirrels than these two, the others are too shy to be seen in the campsite at the same time as Bushy. A young couple with two small boys are quite challenged to live for six weeks in a conestoga-like, fold-down camper trailer. The campground is located in Florida with a shower and restroom building close to the site. A natural pool is provided for recreation, and Bushy Tail’s antics entertain at least this one camper family. Florence P. Bullis combines a little fiction with a bit of non-fiction in poetic form, from a squirrel’s point of view with humor and excitement, filling the experience with treasured memories worth sharing back home and with future campers. About the Author When her own children had grown and produced children of their own, Florence P. Bullis began gathering the journals of her memories to share with the next generation. Her hope is that in the lives of this electronically connected culture, the joy of experiencing nature is not lost. Florence is now a retired LPN and an author of 5 other books: Including Vision of Two Ships, an auto-biography and Welcome Holy Spirit, a 50 day devotional. From her kitchen window, she often checks on the lively black and brown squirrels, wild turkeys, groundhogs and an occasional deer that appear in her backyard. More episodes of Bushy Tail may be pending.

The Gospel According to Job 1 Welcome to Gospel Rant! The book of job has unnerved, frightened and confused Christians for millennia. I wonder, maybe, just maybe, if we get the core message? You just may be surprised. We’ll talk about it. Welcome to Gospel Rant Podcast and DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. I am your host, Dr. Bill Senyard. We are free wherever you get good podcasts. Of course on YouTube as well, so please subscribe as always. One of the fastest ways you can help us grow it by leaving your comments below, thank you sincerely for that. Also thanks for making Gospel Rant podcast one of the top 10% podcasts in the world. We hope that it helps to regularly hear about God’s love that loves the unlovable, unloved, unlovely, unworthy and unlikely, and that’s all of us on any given day if we were just a little bit honest. Here's a couple of teasers that you may find interesting—and maybe never heard before. So many of us think that Job is about the dangers of challenging and questioning God. And when you do, you need to repent very quickly. While that’s a clean morality message, it is not the message of Job. Job never officially repents—that is he does not use the Hebrew word for repent. Instead, he says, “I revoke (??) and I find comfort in ashes and dust.” Interesting and not what is usually taught. Second, God said at the end (Job 42:7) that Job had spoken what is right. So what did Job have to repent of? Maybe, in spite of what we’ve all been told, the book isn’t about ‘repentance.’ Curious. Third, Chapter 28 appears to have been shoved right into the middle of one of Job’s long tirades, but it does not appear to belong there. What’s going on? Curious? Welcome to our program. And now, it’s your turn…

Have you ever noticed how much mental energy you spend wondering if you're doing this parenting thing "right"? Maybe you replay conversations in your head, second-guess a boundary you set, or feel that pressure to do just a little more…just in case. That pressure doesn't come from being overly critical or demanding — it comes from caring deeply. And from the belief that if you can just find the right way to handle things, you'll finally be able to relax. Today, I'm continuing the Mindset Traps of Parenting Teens and the Empty Nest series with a focus on perfectionism. In this episode, we're going to talk about how the search for the “right” way fuels anxiety, erodes self-trust, and keeps you carrying more than you need to. And we'll explore what it actually looks like to decide what's enough — without waiting for your kid or your life to be different first. This episode will change how you think about effort, responsibility, and what it really means to let go in this stage of motherhood.

Hours earned caring for one family's children can be used with any family in the co-op, building trust and flexibility without cash.Why is childcare so challenging for families today?High costs, limited availability, misaligned schedules, and the emotional toll on young children make conventional childcare inaccessible or unsustainable for many families.How does the Village Roots Childcare Co-op embody permaculture?The co-op applies permaculture ethics and principles like slow and small solutions, stacking functions, feedback loops, and people care to meet real childcare and community needs.How can permaculture help parents—especially mothers—avoid burnout?By reframing priorities through concepts like zones of time and energy, permaculture helps parents let go of nonessential commitments and focus on connection during demanding life seasons.What's the value of front-yard food gardens?Front-yard gardens invite conversation, sharing, and relationship-building with neighbors, turning food production into a social connector.How can someone start a similar co-op in their community?Start small, set a geographic boundary, clearly communicate expectations, onboard families personally, and use existing guides and templates to reduce friction.Why is community-building increasingly important?As larger systems become more fragile, hyper-local, trust-based networks like co-ops, time banks, and tool libraries help meet needs when institutions fall short.Episode HighlightsPermaculture as a life framework, not just a land design toolApplying permaculture ethics to childcare and family systemsDesigning a babysitting co-op using time instead of moneyFront-yard gardens as hubs for neighborhood connectionReframing permaculture zones around time, energy, and life...
