STORY 2: Georgia Gwinnett College Students Show Off Their NASA MINDS with rovers project Georgia Gwinnett College students designed DORA (Dynamic Objective Reaching Autonomous Rovers), a lunar rover system capable of autonomously mapping the moon’s surface. Funded by NASA MINDS, the project earned second place nationally and won Best Poster at the Georgia Academy of Science Conference. The team of five students, mentored by GGC professors, gained hands-on experience in robotics, engineering, and project management. Inspired by *Dora the Explorer*, the lead rover, DORA, works with two smaller rovers, Boots 1 and 2. The project not only showcased their skills but also opened doors for internships and potential careers with NASA. STORY 3: Corps of Engineers OKed to hire more rangers for Lake Lanier The Army Corps of Engineers has received hiring freeze exemptions, allowing them to hire six new park rangers for Lake Lanier, part of 10 full-time and six part-time ranger positions approved in Georgia. This will help address staffing shortages that led to temporary park and boat ramp closures. Public and political pushback reduced the initial 21 closures to nine. While the new hires will improve operations, Corps officials warn reopening parks will take time due to hiring and training processes. State Rep. David Clark has proposed legislation for Georgia to take over Lake Lanier parks to ensure consistent access. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, host David Clark sits down with Tim Samway, founder of Scarcity Partners and former managing director of Hyperion Asset Management, to explore one of the most compelling trends in asset management—GP staking (General Partner staking). What if, instead of being on the paying end of fund management fees, you could invest in the fund managers themselves? That's exactly what GP staking enables—and it's gaining serious momentum in Australia. Tim breaks down: * What GP staking is and why it's more than just private equity for funds * Why returns from GP staking (targeting 20%+ p.a.) can outperform traditional funds * The structural shift toward private markets and the rise of endowment-style investing * The red flags and green lights in assessing fund managers as businesses * Why private market exposure is still underrepresented in most Australian portfolios—and what's changing Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how to access the "better side" of the fee equation and what makes the economics of fund management so attractive when scaled properly.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, David Clark speaks with David Gribble, the newly appointed CEO of Alceon, one of Australia's leading multi-strategy private capital firms. Against a backdrop of heightened market volatility and growing media scrutiny of private credit, David Gribble shares his perspective on the evolving role of private markets and how Alceon is positioning itself through this cycle. The conversation explores Gribble's unique journey from engineering and investment banking to leading Alceon, and why the firm's deep bench of local expertise, asset-backed focus, and collaborative investment approach offers clients confidence during periods of uncertainty. We also dive into how Alceon balances opportunity and risk across real estate credit, private equity, and structured credit—and why disclosure and proactive transparency are central to maintaining investor trust in the private markets space.

David Clark welcomes back Andrew Lockhart, Managing Partner of Metrics Credit Partners — one of Australia's largest private lenders and a major force shaping the future of private credit. With private credit markets booming — and critics warning of bubbles and risks — David and Andrew explore why private credit can play a critical role in a high-net-worth portfolio when approached with discipline and scale. They dive deep into the key metrics that investors should evaluate in private credit, including loss rates, diversification, liquidity management, and risk-adjusted returns. Andrew explains why Metrics' institutional-grade processes, governance standards, and proactive credit management position it at the centre of Australia's private credit growth story — and why careful manager selection has never been more important. With insights into Metrics' $23 billion portfolio, how private credit compares to traditional bank lending, and how Metrics navigates the evolving regulatory landscape, this episode is essential listening for investors seeking income, stability, and diversification in today's uncertain markets. Get a behind-the-scenes look at why Metrics is thriving amid industry scrutiny.

When you frame a case around negligence, you'll likely get a modest verdict or none at all. But when you reframe it as a story of betrayal, the jury's desire for retribution can dramatically increase your award—a strategy that helped Daniel Rodriguez secure a $35 million Iowa verdict, the state's largest motor vehicle crash verdict in history. In conversation with host Dan Ambrose, Daniel shares his approach to long-form opening statements using chapter-based storytelling, his techniques for building rapport with witnesses, and his powerful case-framing methods learned from David Clark. Countering conventional wisdom that openings should be brief, Daniel reveals why his openings run 75 to 120 minutes and how this structure transforms outcomes.

Laurence shares his journey from institutional fund management to purpose-driven investing, shedding light on how families can move beyond ad-hoc charitable donations to structured, impactful philanthropy that endures for generations.

Whether you're a family considering philanthropy for the first time, or looking to start the conversation, this episode will give you practical insights into how to create lasting social and financial value.

In this message, David Clark shares 3 aspects of connection with God from Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬-‭14‬.  We know that navigating life in college can be hard, so here's the main thing to know: Challenge is a place where you meet your best friends, grow in navigating the challenges of life, and explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

Hwæt a Movie returns with Beowulf: Prince of the Geats! Given how hard this one is to find, we'd be surprised if any of you have seen it. Released in March 2007, shortly after SYFY's Grendel and ahead of Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf, this Scott Wegener-directed indie film dives into the epic tale with a unique take on the hero and his legendary battles. And while the film's limited budget and production constraints might be apparent, its dedication to the original text shines through. Making the film more charming and admirable is the fact that the production team and actors all worked for free on this passion project. All proceeds from the sale of the DVDs for Beowulf: Prince of the Geats went to aid both the American and Norwegian Cancer Societies. Get a sense of the film by watching the trailer here. The film stars both Jayshan Jackson and Damon Lynch III as the younger and older Beowulf. Wegener's decision to depict Beowulf as the son of an adventuring African fisherman offers some interesting possibilities and an approach to the character that we haven't seen yet. It's also one of the few film adaptations to follow Beowulf home to Geatland after his time in Denmark. As always, our episode includes an exhaustive summary of the film, a Q&A discussion, and our final ratings. How do these versions of Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's Mother stack up against those we've seen before? And how does this quirky, low-budget film score on its fidelity to the source material and its overall entertainment value? As the length of the episode might suggest, we've got a lot to say about this one. This was a delightful film to unpack, and we hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as we enjoyed discussing it.

Jesus called His followers to a life of purpose, power, and action. In this series, we'll journey through Christ's Great Commission, exploring how each of us is invited to take part in the mission He entrusted to His Church. From our closest circles to the farthest nations, Jesus commands us to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach—all by His authority and through His power. The world needs the light and hope of Jesus. This is more than a message series—it's a call to take up the mission that Jesus left for us. Will you say “yes” to His invitation? Will you step out in faith, in boldness, and in love? The Gospel is worth sharing, and it's on us to make it known. This series will help equip us to do so. In this series opener, David shares foundational perspectives to have as you set out to be a lifelong disciple maker. We know that navigating life in college can be hard, so here's the main thing to know: Challenge is a place where you meet your best friends, grow in navigating the challenges of life, and explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

Let's discuss the role of homework (or other effort pieces of learning) in an Alternatively Graded course in more depth. In this episode, Sharona and Boz look at a recent research study about the inclusion or exclusion of a "homeworK' grade in the grading architecture of a high school geometry class and the impact it had on student completion of homework as well as their final grades. We distinguish between "product", "progress", and "process" grades and discuss their potential roles in different types of courses.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

In this episode, Joe Zeccola joins Sharona and Bosley to discuss the interplay between discrete skills and more "holistic" skills, primarily in the discipline of writing. Utilizing some questions asked by Dr. Emily Pitts Donahoe in a recent blog post about Rhetorical Analysis, Joe, Sharona and Bosley explore the balance between assessing discrete individual skills and assessing more holistic processes and how that might play into the design of an alternatively graded course.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

In addition to the We Are Superman Podcast, it is my humble privilege to honor David Clark's legacy to direct the American Heroes Run that he began in 2010.  This year, we had the largest number of runners since I began hosting it, and quite a few had outstanding performances.  We will be highlighting some of these stories in episodes over the new few weeks, but here is a recap of the entire two days of racing from 5K to 100 miles, from 15 to 85 years old, in Longmont, Colorado.Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman Podcast

In this riveting episode of the Spybrary Spy Podcast, guest host David Clark is joined by author and investigative journalist Tim Tate to dissect his latest espionage non-fiction book To Catch A Spy which examines the enigmatic and controversial history surrounding Roger Hollis, the former MI5 Director General, Margaret Thatcher, Peter Wright and the explosive Spycatcher affair! 'Researched like an intelligence officer, argued like a barrister, and as engaging and intriguing as a Le Carré, Tate presents a critical and compelling analysis which makes for both a fascinating and disturbing portrayal of how a government treated truth, justice, and public accountability with disdain.' Simon Ball, International Association For Intelligence Education European Chapter   What do you think? Was Hollis maligned or was he indeed a Soviet spy? Share your opinion with other spy history enthusiasts in our Spybrary Community.
