What does it actually take to build a girls' running program from three athletes to a full roster, and what does it cost the coach who gets it there?

Federal subcontracting opportunities on SBA's SubNet are one of the most underused tools in govcon, and most small businesses walk right past them. In this episode, Zack Golden breaks down a systematic, research-first approach to identifying large primes with subcontracting plans, getting in front of the right people, and positioning your business as the dependable boots-on-the-ground partner primes actually need. What you'll learn in this episode: How to use SBA's SubNet and the Directory of Federal Government Prime Contractors to identify large primes that are required by contract to subcontract to small businesses Why deep research — including task order history, contracting officer contacts, and project manager outreach — separates vendors who get work from those who just get forwarded to a supplier portal The exact line Eric borrowed from Ryan Atencio that consistently opens doors with large primes: "We answer the phone and we always give quotes" How IDIQ and MAC vehicles in construction can become your leverage point to position your company as a regional subcontractor for primes operating outside their core geography Why registering on a prime's supplier portal before your first meeting is non-negotiable and how skipping this step ends conversations before they start EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Mindy AI intro and Federal Help Center community welcome 0:53 - How to use SBA SubNet to find subcontracting opportunities 2:22 - Filtering SubNet by state, keyword, and industry type 2:52 - Directory of federal prime contractors with subcontracting plans explained 4:21 - Deep research strategy for targeting specific prime contractor projects 5:19 - How to reach project managers and what to say when you do 6:18 - How GE Hitachi became a real client through persistence and quotes 6:48 - Why large primes have mandatory small business subcontracting requirements 7:18 - Supplier portals and why registering before meetings is essential 8:44 - Using expiring contracts and NAICS codes to find targeted opportunities 10:12 - IDIQ and MAC vehicles as leverage for regional subcontracting in construction 12:34 - How to approach prime contractor project managers with subcontracting proposals Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

What if we stopped treating sport like entertainment and started treating it like healthcare? That's the question at the center of this conversation with Mary Cain: professional middle-distance runner, Stanford medical student, and New York Times Bestselling author of the new memoir This Is Not About Running.

"Once I started doing more core work...prescribed to me by a pelvic floor DPT, and what everyone says you should be doing after pregnancy...I was feeling pain," shares Lane 9 Coach Becky Anthony, head coach and owner of Taylored Training Run.  Becky shares her story with a rare injury, osteitis pubis, which she was diagnosed with around three months postpartum. She was working with a physical therapist (DPT) on a return to run program, and had tried to check the boxes before getting back to the sport. But something felt wrong, and painful. And it took a little while to get an accurate diagnosis, and even longer before she was able to run again.  No two postpartum experiences are the same, even for one person. Becky shares this in hopes of helping the next parent build their care team—starting with nutrition, working with a DPT and a coach, etc.—and reminding parents to advocate for themselves, and their care.  Connect with Becky through the Lane 9 Directory, at Lane9project.org/directory. Follow her coaching online at @tayloredtrainingrun, on Instagram. Find a sports dietitian, DPT, and other healthcare providers who know how to support you, the athlete and (maybe also) the parent, by going to Lane9project.org/directory.

Our recap episodes, which offer a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time, have reached 1797 - a year in which Napoleon Bonaparte continues to confound western Europe amidst the continuing churning turmoil of French revolutionary politics. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers an extraordinary 12 months, in which the young Bonaparte helps wrap up victory against the Austrians before continuing his victories on the green felt battlefields of the negotiating table. He's getting a taste for power - but what will the Directory back home make of this? The politics of Paris have moved on to a mounting crisis in which a swing to the right prompts a coup by those in power, crucially backed by the army. Meanwhile there are seismic changes in north Italy, with the end of the 1,000-year republic of Venice and a humiliation for the Pope. And there are two massive victories for the British at sea, against the Spanish at Cape St Vincent and the Dutch at Camperdown... Another staggering year.

"The [symtpoms] of under-fueling, and REDs, make it a lot harder to meet your [calorie] needs," shares dietitian KC Stockmon. "It's kind of this vicious cycle."  We're here to talk about how many calories an athlete actually needs to be eating, WHY it's important to eat enough, and the symptoms of under-fueling. The problem is, under-fueling is so common in athletics that athletes are quick to dismiss their symptoms as just "part of training". When actually, if the body has the energy—aka calories—that it needs to function well *and* recover from your training sessions, you might feel great. You just don't know what you don't know.  That's why we're here, in Lane 9, with reminders to eat enough, fuel before during and after training sessions, and connect with sport-specialized healthcare providers when you need to!

In the fourth 15-minute section of our movie screenplay we move towards the midpoint, the critical moment where accumulating consequences for our hero Napoleon Bonaparte make him realise his military successes represent a false hope. He's going to have to rethink - and we need to set out in this section of the film why that's the case. In episode four of our screenwriting escapade we continue to forge ahead in our mission of crafting a top-notch screenplay treatment about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Alex Stevenson is joined by James Topham (who knows a thing or two about screenwriting) and Ben Deery (who knows a thing or two about acting) to put the movie world to rights. Having analysed the pitfalls and frustrations of Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 in the first season the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly, this time round the team have to come up with the magic themselves.As our resident bot NAIpoleon Bot-aparte puts it:Introduction and Project Title DiscussionAlex Stevenson reflects on the complexities of both the project's title and their ongoing efforts to tackle the Napoleon movie's midpoint (00:00:09).Screenwriting Structure and the "Midpoint"James Topham explains the significance of the midpoint in screenwriting, emphasizing the protagonist's realization that their initial insight was a false hope, necessitating a new approach (00:02:16).Napoleon's Myth and PowerBen and Alex Stevenson discuss how Napoleon leaned into myth-making for power, and debate when in his real-life story this strategy likely fails or must be re-evaluated (00:03:47).Limits of Power and FrustrationAlex Stevenson suggests that Napoleon's frustration comes from being undermined by political rivals (the Directory, especially Barras), despite his military successes (00:04:37).Internal vs. External ConflictJames Topham highlights the internal conflict between Napoleon's public myth and his private insecurities, amplified by his relationship with Josephine (00:05:39).Humorous Interlude: The Pug IncidentThe hosts share an anecdote from a Napoleon biography about Josephine's pug being killed, debating its potential inclusion in the screenplay for dramatic or comedic effect (00:08:47).Montage of Military Success and Growing AmbitionA recap of part of the screenplay treatment: Napoleon's rapid victories in Italy, the spread of his legend, and his increasing enjoyment of administrative power (00:10:25).Love Triangle and Character ComplexityThe group discusses Josephine's ambiguous love life, including her affair with Lieutenant Charles. They recognize its importance for the evolving love triangle and consider how this complexity impacts Napoleon's character and the script (00:21:06).The Real Midpoint: Power Struggles and SetbacksAlex Stevenson proposes that the midpoint pivots on Napoleon's frustration with being constrained by the Directory, underscored by a potential “resignation scene” where he realizes his myth is not sufficient for true power (00:27:03).Foreshadowing Future Conflict and DirectionThe episode ends with the group teasing Napoleon's next move, possibly the Egyptian campaign, and reiterating the need to heighten personal and political conflict—while ending on a comedic note debating pears and apples (00:39:23).

Grant Veldhuis (software engineer at Thatch, former Ribbon Health) and Misha Nasrollahzadeh (co-founder and CEO of Joyce Health, formerly Castlight Health and Ribbon Health) have both spent significant stretches of their careers trying to solve this. They walk through what they've learned, where they've hit walls, and what they'd do differently. What we cover - A working definition of Provider Directory: provider identity, location, specialty, phone number, and network status. Everything else: subspecialty inference, cost data, scheduling, is a layer on top. Don't get it twisted - Then you layer things on top of that working definition: NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System) gives you specialty. Claims data lets you infer subspecialty. CPT codes have to be translated into human language before care navigation is actually possible. Scheduling (Zocdoc's territory) is hideously complex and you don't want that smoke - Ways to constrain the problem (and *maybe* justify building in-house): Castlight maintained separate employer-by-employer directories built from claims data. Grant built a localized directory for the University of Michigan's 60,000-person campus. Both found success through scope restriction. Nationwide coverage is usually the enemy of accuracy. - Be suspicious: Someone is going to tell you their data is 99% accurate. Maybe a vendor. Maybe an internal team lead. You need to dig into what that number actually means. One payer's head of provider directory once defended that figure but his definition was *whether or not the fields were populated*. Not whether the phone number actually worked or whether the address was still a functioning practice (The address turned out to be a car wash) - Sharing is NOT caring: why CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) exists but payers don't have a great incentive to improve the underlying data, even when it benefits everyone. - Oblique, non-obvious signals for keeping data fresh: referral coordinators at a value-based primary care group were the best signal Ribbon ever found, because they were calling offices every day and had direct incentive to log corrections. Published research papers are another: "they just published with this institution, so they must still be affiliated." - Network effects and why they're hard: small care navigation companies can be required to contribute edits in exchange for data access. National payers paying orders of magnitude more cannot be asked the same thing. - Build vs. buy, the age-old question: default to buying unless your use case is genuinely outside what vendors have mapped. ACA (Affordable Care Act) individual market plans are one example where standard data quality may not hold. University of Michigan campus resources are another.

" I also learned the hard way. I did pay the price for several years. I had a lot of injuries, and I was in the stress fracture cycle for seven years. And that was a wake-up call. It really showed me you're not invincible and, and you're gonna have to really learn how to do this differently," shares longtime Lane 9 supporter and community member, Amy Sams.  Amy reached out to Lane 9 last Fall seeking support from a dietitian in our Directory, finally ready to fueling adequately as she approached the California Internation Marathon in December (2025), with the goal to break 2:50 for the first time. And, a little spoiler: She did it!  Amy has spent decades navigating her history with an eating disorder, struggling with fueling and rest, and multiple bone stress injuries. She has run 25 marathons, but now feels like she's really tapping into her potential. Meanwhile, she reminds herself, she's "allowed to be a work in progress."

Our recap episodes, which offer a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time, has reached 1796 - a year in which the rockstar general Napoleon Bonaparte writes his own script. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers 12 months in which the course of the French Revolutionary Wars is altered by the achievements of a 20-something. Bonaparte somehow manages to turn a secondary theatre into the main event through an astonishingly dynamic approach to campaigning. The consequences are momentous for the weak, dependent Directory government in Paris; for the Papal States' political control of central Italy, not to mention the end of the Republic of Venice. And at the same time we see movement in Ireland where the French have one or two ideas, more revolt in the Vendee and the end of Catherine the Great, leaving us asking the question - what next for Russia...

What happens when determination, talent, and resilience collide against all odds? In this inspiring Big Blend Radio episode, we explore the powerful documentary "96 Pounds of Dynamite" with director Loren Goldfarb, following the extraordinary journey of Chad “Shorty” McDaniel, a competitive pool player living with brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta). The film captures Chad's path from small-town Mississippi pool halls to high-level amateur competition, while also sharing the personal struggles, discrimination, and life-changing decisions he faces along the way. Through humor, grit, and authenticity, Chad challenges assumptions about disability and reminds us of the importance of dignity, focus, and self-belief. The conversation also dives into the art of documentary filmmaking, the role films can play in building compassion and awareness, and how Chad's story continues to inspire audiences nationwide. "96 Pounds of Dynamite" won the Audience Choice Award at the 2026 Vero Beach Film Festival and features executive producer Jeanette Lee, also known as “The Black Widow.” The film releases May 11, 2026 on Amazon and Apple TV.

How secure is your Active Directory infrastructure? While at Zero Trust World in Orlando, Richard chatted with Spencer Alessi about his work helping companies secure Active Directory, making it more difficult for black hats to exploit it for lateral moves during a breach attempt. Spencer talks about the increasing speed of these exploits, making it much harder to block them after the fact, so it's best to make AD too difficult to target.

In the first 15 minutes of Act 2 of our putative Napoleon movie, we get into "the promise of the premise"—delivering the kind of content audiences expect from a Napoleon film: military campaigns, political maneuveures, personal intrigue... as well as some further development of the love story with Josephine and Napoleon's antagonist Paul Barras; and, above all, the idea of mythmaking as a key theme. In episode four of our screenwriting escapade we continue to forge ahead in our mission of crafting a top-notch screenplay treatment about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Alex Stevenson is joined by James Topham (who knows a thing or two about screenwriting) and Ben Deery (who knows a thing or two about acting) to put the movie world to rights. Having analysed the pitfalls and frustrations of Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 in the first season the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly, this time round the team have to come up with the magic themselves.As our resident AI bot N-AI-poleon Bot-aparte puts it:1. Three-Act Structure and Threshold CrossingThe end of Act 1 is discussed as a pivotal moment when the protagonist, Napoleon, consciously begins constructing his own myth (00:19:41), a literal and figurative threshold crossing (00:19:55).Detailed walk-through of Act 1 scenes, including:Substituting Josephine for Desiree in the narrative (00:02:39).Key action sequences at Vendemiare and the bridges of Lodi/Arcola (00:03:39, 00:15:14), with discussion on historical accuracy versus dramatic conflation (00:16:10, 00:17:43).Introduction of supporting characters and ensemble around Napoleon (00:06:01), focusing on ambitious opportunists rather than loyalists.Exploration of the dynamics between Napoleon, Josephine, and Barras, including scenes blending political manipulation and sexual intrigue (00:08:24, 00:09:31).The concept that "the story and reality are separate things" is thematically highlighted (00:05:05), with the motif of Napoleon recognizing and starting to orchestrate his public image (00:19:01, 00:19:51).Visual iconography is suggested (e.g., Napoleon with the bicorne hat, the famous bridge painting) to support the myth-making theme (00:19:50, 00:20:24).James Topham and Alex Stevenson discuss "the promise of the premise"—delivering the kind of content audiences expect from a Napoleon film: campaigns, political maneuvers, personal intrigue (00:22:44), reminiscent of "fun and games" sections seen in classic screenplay structures.Suggestions about Act 2 include focusing on:Napoleon's rapid military successes in Italy (00:25:30),His dual role as both general and proto-ruler, highlighting the confluence of military, political, and personal exploits (00:26:32),The beginnings of conflict between Napoleon and the Directory/Barras, including themes of looting, propaganda, and evolving power (00:28:11, 00:29:38).The love triangle between Napoleon, Josephine, and Barras is positioned as a B-story, serving both as counterpoint and commentary on Napoleon's personal limitations and vulnerabilities despite public success (00:34:12, 00:35:25).James Topham notes this B-story should provide the "kernel of a realization" that the main character's myth-making may not resolve deeper internal needs (00:35:00).Strong emphasis on the importance of an active antagonist. Barras is not simply reactive but is shown making tactical moves to rein in Napoleon through proxies and political maneuvers (00:42:09, 00:44:00).Barras's motivations are clarified: survival, controlling or harnessing Napoleon's force, and concern for the stability of the Directory (00:39:09, 00:45:08).Discussion of tonal variation, humor, and the inclusion of sex and farce elements (e.g., the pug scene) to balance dramatic and comedic moments (00:10:26, 00:12:17).Plan for the next episode focuses on Act 2's midpoint—the major reversal where Napoleon must confront the limitations of his current approach (00:49:14).

Overview of the editing process Self-editing How to find and work with a professional editor. My list is at www.TheCreativePenn.com/editors Beta readers, specialist readers, and sensitivity readers When is the book finished? These chapters are excerpted from How to Write a Novel: From Idea to Book by Joanna Penn, available direct or on all the usual stores. Overview of the editing process “Books aren't written. They're rewritten.” —Michael Crichton Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a classic of English literature. I studied it at school and the scene at Stonehenge still haunts me. Hardy's Jude the Obscure influenced my decision to go to university in Oxford, a city Hardy called Christminster. His novels are still held in great esteem, which is why it's so wonderful to see his hand-edited pages in the British Library in London, displayed in the Treasures collection. You can visit them in person or view them online. Thomas Hardy's edited manuscript of ‘Tess of the D'Urbevilles, one of England's greatest writers While his handwriting is a scrawl, it's evident from the pages just how much editing Hardy did on this version of the manuscript. There are lines struck through, whole paragraphs crossed out, arrows moving sections around, words and sentences rewritten, and comments in the margins. Even the title is changed from A Daughter of the D'Urbervilles to Tess of the D'Urbervilles as we know it today. Those edited pages gave me hope when I saw them for the first time as a new fiction author. Not that I thought I could write a classic of English literature, but that I could learn to edit my way to a better story. There are several stages in the editing process, which I'll outline here and then expand on in subsequent chapters. As you progress in your craft, you won't need every stage every time, so assess with each book what kind of editing you need along the way. Self-editing The self-editing stage is your chance to improve your manuscript before anyone else sees it. For some authors, this stage might mean rewriting the entire draft. For others, it involves restructuring, adding or deleting scenes, doing line edits, and more. Developmental or structural edit An editor reads your manuscript and gives feedback on specific aspects, character, plot, story structure, and anything else pertinent to improving the novel. It is sometimes described as a manuscript critique. You will receive a report, usually ten to fifteen pages, with notes on your novel, which you can then use in another round of self-editing. While this is not always necessary, it can be a valuable step and something I appreciated particularly for my first novel when I had so much to learn. Copyediting and line editing This is the classic ‘red pen' edit where you can expect comments and changes all over your manuscript. This edit focuses on anything that enhances the writing quality, including word choice and phrasing issues, as well as grammar, and more. Some editors split this edit into two, and there are differences between what this edit is called between countries. For some editors, a copyedit includes only attention to grammar and correctness, while a line edit focuses on improving and elevating sentences. Be clear about your expectations and that of your editor upfront. You will usually receive an MS Word document with Track Changes on as well as a style guide or style sheet and other notes, which you can then use to make revisions during another self-edit. This is the most expensive part of the process, as editors usually charge per 1,000 words based on the type of edit you want. If you need to cut your story down by 20K, then do it before you send your manuscript for a line edit! Beta readers, specialist readers, and/or sensitivity readers Some authors use different types of readers as part of their editing process. Beta readers are often part of the author's community and are certainly fans of the genre. They read to help the author pick up any issues pre-publication. Specialist readers are those with knowledge about a topic included in the story. For example, a vulcanologist read specific chapters of Risen Gods to check that the details about volcanic eruptions were correct. Sensitivity readers check for stereotypes, biases, problematic language, and other diversity issues. You will usually receive comments or an email with page numbers or chapter numbers, or sometimes an MS Word document with Track Changes, which you then use to make revisions. Many readers provide services for the love of helping their favorite author with a novel and a mention in the acknowledgments, but there are some paid services for specialist and sensitivity readers. Proofreading Proofreading is the final check of the manuscript pre-publication for any typos or issues that might have been introduced in the editorial process. For print books, this can include a review of the print proof with formatting. You should only fix the last tiny changes at this point. Don't make any major changes this close to publication or you may introduce entirely new errors. Do you need an editor if you intend to get an agent and a traditional publisher? You will go through an editorial process with your agent and publisher. But if you want the best chance of getting to that stage in the first place, it might also be worth working with an editor before you submit your manuscript to an agent. Look for an editor who will help you with your query letter and synopsis as part of their edit. Self-editing I love this part of the process! My self-edit is where I wrangle the chaos of the first draft into something worth reading. I have my block of marble and now I can shape it into my sculpture. The mindset shift from writer to editor, from author to reader In the idea, planning, discovery, and first-draft writing phase, it's all about you, the writer. You turn the ideas in your head into words that you understand, characters that come alive for you, and a plot that you're engaged with. In that first rush of creativity, you can banish critical voice and ignore any nagging doubts. But now you need to switch heads. That's how I prefer to think about it, but you might consider it as changing hats or changing jobs. Anything to help you move from the creative, anything goes, first-draft writer to the more critical editor. There is one overriding consideration in this shift. As Jeffery Deaver says, “The reader is god.” With the editing process, you need to turn your story from something you understand into something a reader will enjoy. Writing is telepathy. It connects minds across time and space. You are reading these words and the meaning flows from my brain into your brain — but only if I craft the book well enough. The same is true of your novel. Yes, of course, you want to double down on your creative choices and make sure you achieve everything you want to with your story. But you also need to keep the reader in mind as you edit because the book is ultimately for them. Will your story have the desired effect on the reader? What might help improve their experience? How can you make sure that they are not bored or confused or jolted out of the story? What will make them read on and, at the end, close the novel with a sigh of satisfaction? My self-editing process At the end of the first draft, I print out my manuscript with two pages to each A4 page, so it looks more like a book. I put it in a folder and leave it to rest. You need fresh eyes for your edit and this ‘resting' gives you some emotional distance. In On Writing, Stephen King suggests leaving a manuscript to rest for at least six weeks. While that is a great idea if you have the time, most authors work to deadline, whether externally set or their own timetable. Many authors — including me — are also impatient! I love this first self-edit, and as I'm still crafting the story as a discovery writer, I usually rest the manuscript for a week or two. I schedule blocks of time for editing in my Google calendar and (when not in pandemic times) I go to a café when it opens first thing in the morning. I put on my BOSE noise-cancelling headphones and edit by hand with a black ballpoint pen from page one to the end. I usually manage ten to twenty pages per editing session of a couple of hours each, but it will depend on the amount of restructuring I need to do. I scribble notes in the margins, draw arrows to move paragraphs around, write extra material on the back of pages, or add where I need to write more later. I change words, rewrite and delete lines, and pick up any issues around lack of sensory detail, character problems, and more. You can see an example of a page below: Some pages end up a mass of black; others are relatively clean. But in this first hand edit, no page goes untouched as I hone my manuscript into something closer to my creative goal. You can edit on a computer or a tablet, or whatever else works for you, but at least change the font or the spacing, or something to make it a different experience to reading the first draft. Most writers have a tendency to either overwrite or underwrite, and so will either need to cut words or add words at this stage. I'm in the latter camp so I usually have to add scenes or deepen characters or theme at this point. Once I have hand-edited the whole manuscript end-to-end, I make the changes in my Scrivener project. I change the color of the flags along the way and, as ever, I back up the session. I also use ProWritingAid at the sentence level to fix up things I missed, because we all miss things! When all the changes have been made, I print the complete manuscript again, and read end-to-end and edit as before. This time, it's usually a lot cleaner and there may only be a few things to fix in each chapter. Once I'm finished, I'll update the Scrivener project once more and then decide whether it needs a third pass. Mostly, two full end-to-end hand edits are enough for me these days, but sometimes I'll do a third or go through specific chapters one more time. This messy editing process is fun for me and it's hugely satisfying to see my story come to life. What to focus on in the self-edit Some authors will go through the manuscript multiple times, focusing on different elements with each pass using the aspects covered in Part 3 and Part 4. For example, they'll do an edit based on character and dialogue, followed by another pass for plot, then theme, and so on. Personally, I try to keep the reader in mind and focus on the story as a coherent whole. That's just how my mind works. I jump from fixing a plot issue to deepening a character to adding foreshadowing and so on as I read and edit. I'm confident that my editor will find a lot of the smaller things that I might miss, so I concentrate on trying to achieve my creative vision with the story. You will find your own way of figuring out your process. It's much better to jump in and have a go at editing rather than trying to work out the best way before you have something to work through. Lost the plot? Try reverse outlining If you're a discovery writer like me and you're struggling with the edit and you feel you have lost the plot (which definitely happens sometimes!) then consider a reverse outline as part of your editorial process. Go through the manuscript and write a few lines per scene. Include character, plot points, conflict, setting, open questions and hooks, and any other notes. This will help you step back and hopefully see the entire story from a high level. Then you can dive back into rewriting each chapter. Read the book out loud or use a text-to-speech reader to do it for you Many authors read their book aloud end-to-end, which is a helpful step once you've been through any major rewrites. There are also plenty of text-to-speech tools that can help, for example, Natural Reader or Speechify, and some are built into devices or applications. MS Word includes a Read Aloud tool in the Review tab. This will also help you edit for audio as you'll hear issues you can't see on the page. Editing for audio Audiobooks are a huge growth market and many readers will listen to your book rather than read it, so it's a good idea to consider editing with audio in mind at this stage. Here are some tips. Watch out for repeated sounds. The editorial process will usually catch repeated written words, but similar sounding words can hit the same audio note in narration. You might not notice them in the text, as they are spelled differently. The words ‘you,' ‘blue,' ‘tattoo,' and ‘interview' all start and end with different letters. They look different on the page, but they strike the same audio note when read aloud. In the same way, repetition can work if you have a point to make, but sometimes it jars the listener if it is overused. A classic recommendation for writing dialogue is to use ‘said' with a character name rather than other words like ‘uttered' or ‘pronounced.' This is because ‘said' disappears for the reader on the written page. But with audio, the repetition of a word is highly noticeable, and repeated sounds can dominate a passage. Rewrite with synonyms for ‘said,' or use action to make it clear who the speaker is without resorting to dialogue tags, as described in chapter 3.5. Contractions — or the lack of them — can also become more obvious in audio. “I am not going to the park,” might be spoken as “I'm not going to the park.” When we type dialogue, it is often more formal than the way someone speaks, so check if you can contract it in your edit. Accents can be an issue with fiction narration. There are plenty of narrators who do a ‘straight read,' but if there are accents within dialogue, make it clear where the character comes from. Make sure the narrator knows about the accent choice upfront, otherwise you might not like it in the finished audio. Remember my friend whose novel had an Irish character narrated like a comedy leprechaun instead of the soft lilt she had in mind? Don't confuse the reader. If you have a lot of characters appearing in a chapter and no clear character tags, you might lose the listener in the detail. When reading on paper or a screen, your reader can quickly flick back and see that George was the butler and Angus was the dog, but that's harder to do when listening to an audiobook. Make sure it's clear who is who. You may have to remind listeners occasionally by adding character tags. For example, ‘Angus ran alongside the canal' could become ‘Angus, the golden cocker spaniel, ran alongside the canal.' For more on audiobooks, check out my book, Audio for Authors: Audiobooks, Podcasting and Voice Technologies. How many drafts do you need? The word ‘draft' means different things to different authors. Some only apply this term to a complete rewrite end-to-end, while others will shift paragraphs around, change some lines, add a new scene, and call that a new draft. Nora Roberts said in a blog post on her writing craft, I work on a three-draft method. This works for me. It's not the right way/wrong way. There is no right or wrong for a process that works for any individual writer. Anyone who claims there is only one way, or that's the wrong way, is a stupid, arrogant bullshitter. That's my considered opinion. I love Nora's no-nonsense approach and she is right that there is no single correct process. You have to find your own. But beware of comparing what you call a draft to what another writer calls a draft. It may be something completely different. Use editing software Once I've finished my hand edits and updated the Scrivener project, I use ProWritingAid on the manuscript. It integrates with Scrivener, so I open my project and go through each chapter. ProWritingAid picks up passive voice, repetitive words, commas and typos, suggests rephrasing, and even picks up culturally problematic language. Yes, these are the type of things that an editor will pick up, but I want to hand over a manuscript that is as clean as possible so my editor can focus on other issues. I don't make all the suggested changes, but it certainly helps improve my writing, and I learn as I go through. You can even create your own style guide so you spell things the same way throughout. This is also a good chance to check typos according to the version of English you want to use (or any other language). I'm English and based in the UK, but when I published my first novel, I received complaints about typos from my readers, who were mainly in the USA. These were not typos, they were just British spelling! I decided to use US English in my books because US readers complain about UK spelling, but non-US readers will rarely complain about US spelling because they are used to it. You can set ProWritingAid to the type of English you want to use, and if you specify this later, your editor can pick up on word usage rather than typos, for example, using the term ‘flashlight' instead of ‘torch.' You can find ProWritingAid at: www.TheCreativePenn.com/prowritingaid You can find my tutorial on how to use ProWritingAid at: www.TheCreativePenn.com/prowritingaidtutorial When is your self-edit finished? You will be utterly sick of your manuscript by the end of the self-editing process. You have read your words so many times you can't see them clearly anymore. You are so over the whole thing that you want to forget the book altogether. If you don't feel this way, you probably haven't self-edited enough! When you really feel you can't do any more, it's time to work with a professional editor. If you are putting off the end of self-editing, then remember that nothing is ever perfect. You can edit forever if you keep obsessing over changes and going over and over the same material. If your self-edit goes on too long, consider whether perfectionism is holding you back. Set a completion date and hold yourself to it. How to find and work with a professional editor If you want your book to be the best it can be, then working with a professional editor is the next step. An editor's job is to take your manuscript and help you improve it through structural changes and story development, line edits, suggestions for new material or sentence refinement, and so much more. Different kinds of editors can help you in different ways from constructing the overarching story to eliminating the final typo. In my experience, good professional editors are well worth the investment as they help improve your book and your craft, especially in the initial stages of your writing journey. They have read so many early-stage manuscripts that they understand the most common problems and know how to help you fix them. Some experienced authors only use proofreaders for their novels, but personally, I still work with a professional editor on every book and I learn something every time. I am a super-fan of editors! How to find a professional editor Consolidation in the traditional publishing industry over the last decade has resulted in many more editors working as freelancers, so authors have a wealth of professionals available for hire in every genre. You can find lists of approved editors through author organizations. The Alliance of Independent Authors has a list of Partner Members, many of whom are editors. You can also use author marketplace Reedsy. Many editors use content marketing to find clients — for example, blogging about editing tips, writing books on editing, or appearing on podcasts. I have had lots of editors on The Creative Penn Podcast over the years, so you can listen and see if they resonate with you. Most authors credit their editors and proofreaders in the acknowledgments of their books, and many authors happily share recommendations on social media in various author communities. If you enjoy a certain novel, it might be worth reaching out to that editor, as you know they are a specialist in the genre. Check out my list of editors at: www.TheCreativePenn.com/editors How to assess whether an editor is right for you I frequently get emails from writers asking me to recommend an editor for their book. But finding an editor is like dating. You have to do it for yourself, and it's likely that you will try a few before you find your perfect match. You may also change editors over your writing life as your craft develops and your needs shift, and that's completely normal too. Make sure the editor has experience in and enjoys your genre. You don't want a literary historical fiction editor working on your YA paranormal romance or your hard sci-fi adventure. Ensure that the editor has testimonials from happy clients, and check directly with a named author if you have doubts. Some editors will offer a sample edit for one chapter. This helps both parties decide whether working together is appropriate. The editor can assess what level your manuscript is at, and you can decide whether their editorial style is right for you. How to work with an editor When you engage an editor, you will receive a contract with a timeline and a price for the work. You agree to deliver the manuscript on a particular date and will usually pay a deposit, especially if this is the first time you're working together. The editor agrees to deliver the edits back on a certain date and also to keep your manuscript in confidence. You can avoid issues later by communicating expectations up front, so if you have questions about the editing process, ask before you sign a contract. Many editors are booked months in advance, so once you know your schedule, contact them early and book a slot. Update them if your timings change. Most allow minor slippage, but since editors plan their work around contractual dates, it's important to be timely with delivery. As a discovery writer, I only book my editor when I am sure of my dates. Submit your manuscript and, once the edit is complete, you will receive whatever has been agreed. That might be a structural report, line edit, or proofread manuscript, along with a style sheet. It's usually in the form of an MS Word document by email. Some editors may offer a call to discuss, but I have never spoken to an editor as part of my process. It has never been necessary. It's all about the words on the page. If you want a call and it is not specified, then include it in the contract up front along with anything else you're concerned about. I consider my editors to be an important part of my team. They help me turn my manuscripts into books that readers love, and I rely on them as part of my business. This is a two-way relationship, and you need to behave as professionally as the editor should. If you find an editor you love working with, pay them quickly and respect their time, and you will hopefully have a long-term business relationship that benefits you both. How does it feel to go through an edit? It's probably going to hurt, especially in the beginning, when your craft is in its early stages. You need fresh eyes on your work, especially at the beginning of your author career. You need feedback to improve. When I received notes back on my structural edit for my first novel, I didn't open the email for ten days. I was so scared of what it would say because my novel meant so much to me, and yet I knew it had problems. Of course it did, it was my first novel! So I let the email sit in my inbox until I was ready to face it, and like many things, the fear was worse than the actual event. Even many years and many books later, I still don't open emails from my editor until I am mentally ready to face criticism. Because that's what it feels like. It is not the editor's job to pat you on the back and say, ‘Well done, this is perfect.' Their job is to help you make it the best book it can be. They are experts and have honed their advice over many manuscripts, so they can spot an issue a mile off. When you receive that email from your editor, particularly if it's your first book, make sure you are well rested and in a positive frame of mind. Set aside a good amount of time and read through the comments and the manuscript as a whole. If you have an emotional reaction, do not email back immediately! Let the feedback sit with you for a few days, and you will find it easier to see what might need to change. Once you're ready, go through the manuscript and work through each change. Don't just click Accept All on the Track Changes version for a line edit. This takes time, but it's well worth it because you will learn with every step and you'll be able to spot your common issues in the future, and hopefully fix them next time. You also need to examine every suggestion to see if you want to make the change. Do you need to make every change that an editor suggests? No, you don't. You are the author, so your creative vision is the most important thing. But try to get some distance and assess whether the change truly serves the book, or if you're just having an emotional response. Remember what Jeffery Deaver said: “The reader is god.” Consider each editorial suggestion on its own merit. Does it help take the story in the direction you want it to? Will it improve the reader's experience? What if my editor wants me to change everything? Perhaps they are not the right editor for you. The editor should not fundamentally change your story or alter your creative vision. Their job is to help you shape your manuscript into a better version of itself, and retain your voice and ideas while at the same time improving it for the reader. This is a skillful balancing act, which is why experienced editors are so highly sought after. How long will the editing process take? This will depend on the type of writer you are in terms of the first draft. If you outline in great detail and spend time up front making the first draft the best it can be, then editing might take less time than for a discovery writer who only figures out the book after the first draft. The more books you've written, the more you understand how to shape a novel, the more you can write a clean draft, so editing speeds up. That doesn't mean it gets easier to write a book, but it does mean you know how to find and fix issues. It will also depend on the length of the book. A 50,000-word romance with one protagonist will be a faster edit than a 150,000-word sprawling fantasy with multiple point-of-view characters. It will also depend on your experience, so don't compare your editing time to someone who has written a lot of books. Give editing the time it needs. You want your book to be the best it can be. But also remember Parkinson's Law, which I discussed in chapter 4.7 on writing the first draft: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” This law also applies to editing. Set your deadline and schedule your editing time accordingly. Don't book a professional editor until you've been through at least your self-editing process, as it may take longer than you think. How much does an editor cost? This will depend on the type of edit, your genre and word count, how experienced you are as a writer, and how much experience the editor has. Editors usually quote a range on their website and you can also email and ask for a more detailed quote based on your manuscript length and sample. Every dollar I have spent on editing has been worth it as an investment in my writing craft and the quality of my finished novels. Although my requirements are different now, I continue to use editors and proofreaders for all my books. The more eyes on your novel before publication, the better it will be on launch. What if you have a tight budget? When I started out as a writer, I had a day job and I saved up for the editorial process. It was an investment in my craft and a possible future creative career. If you already have or intend to set up a business as a writer, then you can offset the cost of editors against any profits. But when you're starting out, you can't necessarily see that far ahead. If you're on a tight budget, then find or set up a writer's group with others in your genre and work through one another's manuscripts. You might also have other skills you can barter for editing services, but remember that bartering is subject to tax in many jurisdictions, so don't assume that it is ‘free.' What if my editor steals my ideas or my manuscript? This is a common concern of new writers who think that editors might run away with their book and make millions with their idea. But don't worry, editors are professionals. They work within a contractual framework that protects both parties. So make sure you are happy with the contract before you sign it. If you are really worried, you can register your copyright before you send the manuscript to anyone else. While it is not legally necessary to register copyright — it exists the moment the work is created — there are registration companies in every country that can provide peace of mind. Just search for ‘copyright registration' within your territory. Will I need different editors when I'm further along in my writing journey? Yes, as your craft and experience improves, you will likely work with different editors. You might also choose to use a new editor for a different genre, or work with recommended professionals to take your craft to the next level. Resources: • My list of recommended editors: www.TheCreativePenn.com/editors • Alliance of Independent Authors — www.TheCreativePenn.com/alliance • The following editing associations offer directories and job posting services: The Editorial Freelancers Association (US), the Chartered Institute for Editing and Proofreading (UK), the Institute for Professional Editors (Australia and New Zealand), and Editors Canada. Beta readers, specialist readers, and sensitivity readers Professional editors approach your manuscript with a critical eye based on their knowledge of language, story structure, and genre. But sometimes, it's a good idea to gain perspective from readers who are not experts on sentence structure or grammar, but comment on the story itself, and their experience of reading it as a whole. Beta readers Beta readers are a trusted group of people who evaluate your book from a reader's perspective before publication. The term comes from the software industry, where early versions are tested in beta before being released to the public. While there are some paid beta reader services, many authors find people from their existing readership, or from among genre fans in the writing community. Authors usually thank their beta readers in their acknowledgments. Specialist readers Specialist readers are experts on a particular topic who read with their expertise in mind. This might be a police officer who checks a crime novel, or a physicist who reads for a science-fiction author. Sensitivity readers Sensitivity readers check for cultural and diversity issues, lack of or clichéd representation, and insensitive, inauthentic, or uninformed language, characters, or situations. This type of feedback can help an author before publication, and can be particularly useful if you are tackling more controversial topics. It can also be valuable when reviewing older manuscripts if you want to republish a new edition, as gendered language has changed, as well as the need for representation, diversity, and inclusivity. While some criticize sensitivity reading as a step toward censorship, most authors want to make their books the best they can be, and ensure the reader experience is excellent, whatever the genre. Being a fiction writer is also about empathy — with our characters and with our readers — so improving our ability to write about diverse characters is important. However, authors cannot be experts on what it's like to experience every race or religion, every body type or disability or mental health issue, or understand every country or culture. Feedback from different kinds of readers can help us write better stories, and it is the author's choice whether to implement suggestions in the final manuscript. Do you need all of these types of readers? No. You don't need any of them, or you can choose to use some of them for different books, depending on the need. It's up to you (and your agent or publisher if you choose to go that route). At what stage in the editorial process should you use these types of readers? The book should be as close to the final version as possible. These people are reading with fresh eyes; if they read again later, they can never approach the story with such an open mind. Most authors will send the manuscript to a select group of readers after the main editorial revisions, but before the proofread. Some authors with more developed careers even use their team of beta readers instead of editors at different stages of the process. What should you provide to readers? Provide the manuscript in the format the reader prefers. This could be an MS Word document or PDF. Many established authors use Bookfunnel, which allows you to create a version that can be read on any reading device or phone. Specialist readers and sensitivity readers have their specific expertise, but for more general beta readers, you need to provide some direction as to what you expect. For example: Did you skip over anything? Did anything bore you? Was anything confusing? Did you have to reread any parts? What did you like? Was there anything you hated or objected to or had a problem with? How long should you give them to read? Allow at least two weeks for readers to assess and provide feedback. Be clear on the timeline when you send them the book.. Do you need to make all the changes they suggest? No, and if you try to, you will end up straying from your creative goal, messing up your author voice, and likely pleasing no one! Keep your number of early readers small and specific to what you want to achieve. Assess each comment and suggestion on its own merit and decide whether or not to make the change. Be confident in your creative vision and beware writing by committee, which becomes a problem if you ask too many people for feedback. Only you can decide what you want for your novel. Resources: • The Reedsy marketplace includes different kinds of editors, beta readers, and sensitivity readers — www.TheCreativePenn.com/reedsy • Directory of sensitivity readers — www.writingdiversely.com/directory • Editors of Color — editorsofcolor.com When is the book finished? “I have not yet found words to truly convey the intensity of this remembered rapture—that moment of exquisite joy when necessary words come together and the work is complete, finished, ready to be read.” —bell hooks,Remembered Rapture You can edit a book forever if you want to. Every time you read it, you will find things to change. Every time you hire another editor, they will find more. If you work with beta readers, they will also offer opinions. Your novel will never be finished — until you decide it is. Nothing is ever perfect. Even if you hire three separate editors and use multiple proofreaders, you will still find a typo or an error in the published novel. Pick up any bestselling book from a traditional publisher, and you will still find an issue somewhere. It happens to everyone. Look at any prize-winning or bestselling book on Amazon and check the reviews. The more popular the book, the more issues people will find with it. There will never be a novel that satisfies everyone, and that's fine. Of course, you must make sure your book is the best it can be, but set boundaries for yourself so you do eventually finish. Have you self-edited your manuscript? Have you worked with a professional editor, or at least worked through the manuscript with other writers to improve it? Have you used editing tools and/or a proofreader? Have you set a deadline to move into the publishing process so you are not editing forever? If you have been through this rigorous editorial process and you still feel the itch to edit again, be honest with yourself. Is another round of changes really going to make a substantial difference to this book? Would it be better to work on the next novel instead of constantly reworking this one? Are you struggling with fear of judgment, fear of failure, procrastination, or other mindset issues that you need to work on instead of editing? Check out my book The Successful Author Mindset if you think this might be the case. Strive for excellence, do your best, and then release your book out into the world. “Set a limit on revisions, set a limit on drafts, set a time limit… The book will never be perfect.” —Kristine Kathryn Rusch, The Pursuit of Perfection and How it Harms Writers These chapters are excerpted from How to Write a Novel: From Idea to Book by Joanna Penn, available direct or on all the usual stores.

In Episode 175, Spencer and Tyler break down NetTools — a free, self-contained Active Directory management and troubleshooting tool that's become a go-to for their internal penetration testing engagements.They start with the backstory: years of relying on AD Explorer from Microsoft Sysinternals, and the growing need to evade EDR detections. At one point, that meant manually obfuscating binaries with a hex editor. NetTools eliminates that friction entirely — no installation, no dependencies, no signatures to fight.Topics covered include:Why NetTools replaced AD Explorer and how EDR pressure forced the shiftGroup Policy enumeration, including how to spot dangerous GPO permissions like authenticated users with write access to server OUsLDAP Search & Browser for querying AD, identifying risky data (like passwords in descriptions), and exploring object relationshipsAssigned Trustees & Permissions Reporter for fast, visual identification of misconfigurationsHow to run NetTools from non-domain-joined machines using saved credential profilesPassword checker functionality for targeted validation without spraying the environmentFor pentesters, it's a faster way to get visibility into AD risk. For IT admins, it's a practical way to audit and harden your environment.NetTools combines the functionality of multiple tools into one portable utility. Learn more at nettools.net.

Auxilion, the leading Irish digital services provider, has announced a €1.5m investment in the expansion of its Advisory Services practice, accelerating its market growth strategy. Following increased regulatory complexity, demand for Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) expertise has driven interest in cloud-based, automated solutions for Irish businesses, fuelling Auxilion's investment. With heightened market demand, the company is forecasting customer revenues to increase by €5m in 2026. This growth will be driven by a strengthened digital services portfolio, with the practice offering in-depth strategic guidance covering digital readiness, strategic project portfolio management, GRC expertise, in addition to IT service operations and resilience. To facilitate the growing needs of the practice, Auxilion will build out its associates model hiring an additional 12 people by the end of 2027. Eleanor Dempsey, who was recently appointed Director of Advisory Services, will lead the growing practice. Underpinned by high-quality technical expertise, the expanding Advisory Services practice will enable clients to accelerate digital initiatives, strengthen operational resilience, boost compliance and achieve measurable business outcomes. The expansion supports Auxilion's three-year strategy*, which includes a €10 million investment to evolve and enhance the company's digital services offering, broader business capabilities, and digital technology portfolio. In the past twelve months, the company has recruited over 30 new employees to bolster its commercial operations, leadership team and digital capabilities. Eleanor Dempsey, Directory of Advisory Services, Auxilion, said "Investing in our advisory practice reflects our commitment to helping clients achieve digital readiness while effectively managing risk and compliance.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 19, is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the legal father of Jesus (nutritor Domini).Teresa of Ávila wrote, "To other saints our Lord has given power to help in one sort of need, but this glorious saint, as I know by experience, helps us in every need."In 1870, Pius IX declared Joseph to be the patron and protector of the universal family of the Church. He is the patron of the dying because Jesus and Mary were at his deathbed. He is also the patron of fathers, of carpenters, and of social justice. Many religious orders and communities are placed under his patronage.Saint John Paul II said, "In his self-gift to Mary and Jesus, Joseph fully shares in authentic human fatherhood and the mission of a father in the family."The Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy says, "His mission in God's plan of salvation was to legally insert Jesus Christ into the line of David, from whom, according to the prophets, the Messiah would be born, and to act as his father and guardian."Joseph was the "silent" person, a righteous man who faithfully fulfilled his mission of protecting and guarding God's greatest treasures upon earth, Jesus and Mary.He was an ordinary manual laborer, although descended from the royal house of David.No words of his are recorded in the Gospels. Most of our information about St. Joseph comes from the opening two chapters of St. Matthew's Gospel.At present, there are two major feasts in his honor. On March 19, when we acknowledge his suffering as part of the work of redemption, and on May 1, we honor him as the patron of workmen.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

How do you find insecure permissions in Active Directory before they turn into attack paths?In this episode, we take a practical look at how to identify insecure Active Directory permissions using ADeleg, a free security tool trusted by penetration testers.Misconfigured delegation and overly permissive access rights are a common source of risk in Active Directory environments. These gaps can create hidden attack paths—but many teams don't know where to look or how to interpret what they're seeing.In this episode, we cover:How to identify insecure permissions in Active DirectoryWhat to look for in high-risk users and groups like Domain Users, Everyone, and Authenticated UsersHow these misconfigurations translate into real-world attack pathsHow to use ADeleg to analyze delegated permissions and uncover hidden riskWe also include a reference to ADeleginator, a related tool that can help automate parts of this process using PowerShell. While this episode focuses on hands-on analysis with ADeleg, ADeleginator is a useful companion for scaling this work.Tools referenced:ADeleg: https://github.com/mtth-bfft/adelegBlog: https://offsec.blog/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberthreatpovTwitter: https://x.com/cyberthreatpovFollow Spencer on social ⬇Spencer's Links: https://spenceralessi.comWork with Us: https://securit360.com | Find vulnerabilities that matter, learn about how we do internal pentesting here.

We have a unique episode that we recommend you both listen to and watch. That is because we sit down with Jamie Pak, Senior Accreditation Manager at the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics to learn how to navigate the ACEND Accredited Dietetics Program Directory. This directory is the one stop shop for navigating accredited dietetics program. However, we understand how daunting and confusing it can be knowing where to start. Pak, who was instrumental in its current design, demonstrates the most effective ways to use it based on your starting point. We discuss certain "case studies" of what types of students would use it for finding what programs (i.e. second career, freshman in college, community college, etc.).

"Over the years, clients have shown me that recovery begins in spaces where they feel safe enough to tell the truth." It's Eating Disorder Awareness Week and this year's theme is "Every Body Belongs". We wrote a little something about that on our newsletter, and shared here as well. We appreciated how eating disorder dietitian Marci Evans wrote the quote above in her newsletter this week, and have seen the same play out, here in Lane 9. We shared our stories, and it opened the door for other athletes to see what they could do the same, whether that's with us, or with someone they feel safe talking to. We hope to continue to nurture this space where your stories, and any and every body, are welcomed and held.  We're also here to help you take the next step toward eating disorder care, if you want/need it, with our Directory of Women's Health & Sport Clinicians. These are are clinicians vetted by Lane 9's team, and uniquely trained to support athletes with eating disorders and disordered eating.

We talk worship with pastors Aaron De Boer and Dr. Sean Morris with special attention to liturgy and practicalities that promote reverence and awe with Westminster's Directory for Worship as our guide.  Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNxWFYs8QZk A portion of the text: Of the Assembling of the Congregation, and their Behaviour in the Publick Worship of God WHEN the congregation is to meet for publick worship, the people (having before prepared their hearts thereunto) ought all to come and join therein; not absenting themselves from the publick ordinance through negligence, or upon pretence of private meetings. Let all enter the assembly, not irreverently, but in a grave and seemly manner, taking their seats or places without adoration, or bowing themselves towards one place or other. The congregation being assembled, the minister, after solemn calling on them to the worshipping of the great name of God, is to begin with prayer. "In all reverence and humility acknowledging the incomprehensible greatness and majesty of the Lord, (in whose presence they do then in a special manner appear,) and their own vileness and unworthiness to approach so near him, with their utter inability of themselves to so great a work; and humbly beseeching him for pardon, assistance, and acceptance, in the whole service then to be performed; and for a blessing on that particular portion of his word then to be read: And all in the name and mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ." The publick worship being begun, the people are wholly to attend upon it, forbearing to read any thing, except what the minister is then reading or citing; and abstaining much more from all private whisperings, conferences, salutations, or doing reverence to any person present, or coming in; as also from all gazing, sleeping, and other indecent behaviour, which may disturb the minister or people, or hinder themselves or others in the service of God. If any, through necessity, be hindered from being present at the beginning, they ought not, when they come into the congregation, to betake themselves to their private devotions, but reverently to compose themselves to join with the assembly in that ordinance of God which is then in hand.

What would happen if one family committed to exclusively supporting black-owned businesses for an entire year? Meet Maggie Anderson, CEO and co-founder of The Empowerment Experiment Foundation, who turned that bold question into reality in 2009.

Through her activism, speaking, and leadership, she challenges communities to recognize economic empowerment as a pathway to equity—revealing the obstacles, opportunities, and transformative power of intentional spending within underserved communities.   Episode Highlights: 03:01 Maggie Anderson's Roots: Liberty City, Immigrant Parents, and a Call to Activism 03:47 Mentors & Milestones: John Lewis, Barack Obama, and Corporate Leadership 06:18 The Anniversary Dinner That Sparked the Empowerment Experiment 10:07 From One Month to One Year: Making the Experiment Public & Credible 14:37 Finding Essentials, Building a Directory, and Getting Resourceful 17:01 Community Pushback, Missing Infrastructure, and Businesses Closing 19:25 A Mother's Blessing, Finishing the Year, and Closing Reflections Show Links:  Maggie Anderson's Website and Contact Information

I sit down with Frey Chu to go deep on how to use Claude Code to build AI-coded directories, specifically how to tackle the hardest part: getting valuable data. Frey walks us through three real-world directory examples (a funeral home directory, a senior living directory, and GasBuddy), we play a game guessing their traffic and monetization, and then he does a full live walkthrough of the seven-step process he used to build a luxury restroom trailer directory in four days for under $250. I also ask him about the future of directories in a world where LLMs are changing how people search.

Every successful directory helps people save time, save money, or make money — and price transparency is a massive, underserved opportunity across boring niches. Frey built a fully enriched luxury restroom trailer directory in four days for under $250, a process that would have taken 2,000+ hours of manual work. Monetization depends on the niche: lead generation, vertical SaaS, agency services, ads, debit cards, affiliate, and marketplace models all work. Directories remain strong in an AI search world because users browsing a directory are in the decision-making phase, especially in high-stakes niches like health, legal, finance, and senior living. Building a directory is one of the best playgrounds to learn Claude Code, SEO, and lead generation — even if the first one is just a learning exercise.

You're using Active Directory Certificate Services - but is it configured securely? Richard talks to Ron Arestia about his work with organizations implementing their own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with ADCS. Ron explains how poorly configured ADCS enables lateral attacks within an organization once an initial breach occurs, allowing black hats to move throughout your network. A well-designed PKI system has tiers of protection, with the top level completely disconnected from the network. Or do you really need your own PKI system? The conversation digs into the various scenarios, including third-party options.

"The first time [younger female athletes] work with a barbell or trap bar or something, you can see it. They're like, 'this is bada**, this is awesome," shares physical therapist and ultra-endurance athlete, Hannah DePaul, on this episode about building bone density and weight lifting for female athletes (from highschool and up!).  Hannah DePaul is a former D1 Swimmer, who held multiple records at the University of Michigan, and has gone on to run ultra-marathons. She's currently training for The Huron 100, a point-to-point independent event based outside of Ann Arbor, MI. We have a few scholarship spots to give to Lane 9 athltes, for The Huron 50 or 100 mile distances! If this is something you're interested in, please reach out to us via Lane9Project @ gmail dot com.  Tune into this episode to hear Hannah bust some myths about strength training for high school female athletes, share how she addresses the WHOLE athlete not just the injury, how she screens for REDs and underfueling as a physical therapist (DPT), and how to actually incorporate strength training into your weekly routine even if your preferred form of movement is running, cycling, or swimming.  Hannah DePaul DPT is part of the Lane 9 Directory. You can find her and her clinic via Lane9project.org/directory or going to hannahdepaulpt.com If you're looking for sports nutriton, mental health, or injury support for your next training cycle, and/or a coach informed in REDs and women's health, go to our Lane 9 Women's Sport and Health Directory at lane9project.org/directory.  Follow Lane 9 on IG @Lane9Project, and contact us anytime via Lane9project.org

HEADLINE: The Empire Style: Colonial Influence and the End of Sumptuary Laws GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: During the Directory, Teresia and Rose dominated Parisian society, where Rose eventually captivated a young Napoleon Bonaparte. Higonnet explains that their signature "chemise" dress was a fusion of Teresia's prison shift and the simple white muslins Rose knew from the Caribbean, inspired by the dress of women of color in Martinique. This style, while mimicking Neoclassicism, relied on colonial Indian cottons. The revolution's abolition of guilds and sumptuary laws allowed these women to dismantle centuries of class-based dress codes, shocking observers with an aesthetic of "expensive undress" that defied traditional European modesty.1805 JOSEPHINE
