Today on the SwimSwam podcast is a man who doesn't just run a program—he builds an ecosystem. We're joined by Bill Dorenkott, Ohio State's Director of Swimming and Diving. Bill's teams have quietly—and not so quietly—become one of the most consistent and innovative forces in collegiate swimming. We're talking about a program that, in summer 2025 alone, qualified 16 athletes for U.S. Nationals, notched 24 second swims, and put 4 athletes on U.S. National Teams. Charlie Clarke's heading to Worlds in open water. Matthew Klinge, Mila Nikanorov, and Daniel Baltes? Off to represent at the World University Games. And let's not forget—Daniel Baltes had never even swum a long course meet before coming to Columbus. But this conversation isn't just about results. It's about how they're doing it. Bill shares his “gradually, gradually, then suddenly” philosophy, how Columbus has become a magnet for young talent, and how their burgeoning pro and post-grad group is positioning Ohio State as a key player on the road to LA 2028.

Welcome to ADHD-ish, the podcast for ambitious entrepreneurs whose brains work a little differently. I'm your host, Diann Wingert, and today we're kicking off “The Momentum Series,” a deep-dive into what I like to call the “unholy trinity” of ADHD business struggles: starting, stopping, and switching gears.Ever find yourself stuck in a never-ending planning phase, or maybe leaping headfirst into a project before you're actually ready? You're not alone—it's what I call the ADHD starting paradox, and it's a challenge so many of us face. In this episode, we'll break down why we get trapped in either over-planning or impulsively diving in, and explore the real fear that's driving both: “What if I can't keep this up?”I'll introduce you to my messy start method—a practical, low-pressure approach that ditches perfection and procrastination for real results. You'll learn the 2% + 20% formula for action and discover foolproof systems that don't depend on your mood. Plus, I'll walk you through concrete steps, emergency protocols for when you're stuck, and real-world examples to get you moving—whether your challenge is launching a course, starting a podcast, or finally reaching out to those dream clients.By the end of this episode, you'll have practical strategies to overcome your biggest starting hurdles, and set yourself up for momentum that actually sticks. So if you're ready to get your ass in gear, let's jump in!Episode Overview — What to Expect:The Two ADHD Starting Problems:Analysis paralysis: Getting stuck in endless planning and researchCannonball starting: Diving in impulsively without enough prepWhy Both Approaches Set Us Up For Failure:Perfectionism and over-planning create pressure and stall actionImpulsivity leads to chaos, burnout, and stopping problemsThe Real Root: Sustainability FearWhy ADHD entrepreneurs fear they can't keep things going—and why this fear is rational (but surmountable!)The Messy Start Method:Diann's proven “2% + 20%” formula to get unstuckHow to combine just-enough planning with tiny, immediate actionThe Five-Minute Blind Spot Check:Five quick questions to avoid overthinking or reckless startingMood-Independent Starting Systems:How to set up external cues and “pathetically small” first stepsUsing the two-minute rule for unstoppable momentumBuilt-in Course Correction:How to schedule check-ins and adjust your approach without self-judgment Emergency protocols for when you're frozen or tempted to leap in blindly

What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundation? In this soul-searching episode, Jesse Cope challenges listeners to examine their daily priorities and whether they truly align with their professed faith."Have you made time for God today? Have you made time for Jesus Christ? Have you made time for your spouse?" These aren't just rhetorical questions, but a mirror held up to our collective conscience. As Christians, we claim God is our top priority, yet our schedules often tell a different story. Cope thoughtfully explores how prayer shouldn't be a checkbox item but an ongoing conversation throughout our day—whether we're working a fence line, teaching in a classroom, or serving in the military.The discussion on marriage strikes a particularly resonant chord. Using the powerful analogy of a bank account, Cope points out that we would naturally pay more attention to an account with $50 million than one with mere pocket change. Shouldn't we then invest more attention in our marriages with each passing year, not less? He challenges the notion that the "honeymoon period" should end, arguing instead that the same level of attentiveness should characterize the entire relationship.Diving into historical wisdom, Cope examines why our founders deliberately established a republic rather than a democracy. With quotes from James Madison, John Adams, and Fisher Ames (who wrote the First Amendment's Establishment Clause), he demonstrates how pure democracy inevitably leads to mob rule and self-destruction. These warnings seem eerily prophetic when considering today's social unrest and political turbulence.The episode culminates with a fascinating look at the "committees of correspondence" established before the American Revolution—networks that enabled colonies to coordinate their response to British tyranny. Cope makes a compelling case that Christians and conservatives need similar networks today to effectively stand against cultural and governmental overreach. When faithful communities work in concert rather than isolation, their impact is exponentially greater.Share this episode with someone who needs a spiritual wake-up call, and join us in reclaiming America's soul through the timeless values that once made our nation great.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What does it take to spend more of your time creating real impact...That's the central question we're exploring in our Journey Management Playbook series.In the last episode, we did something pretty amazing: we took a pile of raw data and, with a click of a button, watched AI generate a structured journey map in a matter of minutes.I'll admit even though I was a bit skeptical to start with, this felt pretty magical.But the truth is that this first draft is just the beginning.As you have hopefully seen, an AI-generated journey gives you an incredible head start, but it's not yet something you should bet your business on. So, how do you move from this first draft to a decision-making tool you can truly trust? How do you make it yours?That's exactly where we're going in Episode 4. This is the essential next step.Once again, Tingting and I roll up our sleeves and show you the practical, step-by-step process of:Prioritizing what to tackle first, so you don't get overwhelmed.Verifying AI-generated insights to build confidence.Enriching the journey using properties to add depth.Using filters to focus on what matters most.As you'll see, we're now entering the areas where the power of modern AI-driven journey management truly comes alive. There's still a lot of work for us to do, but AI allows us to focus our time on the areas where we can add the most value.Just like in the previous episodes, we're diving deep inside TheyDo with a lot of screen sharing. If you're listening to the podcast version, I highly recommend having the accompanying slides handy to follow along visually. You can find them in the show notes.Take care,~ Marc--- [ 1.

In this episode, Lexi and Sean dive into two shark-themed movies: 'Shark Night 3D' and 'Bait 3D'. They discuss the bizarre yet intriguing elements of 'Shark Night 3D', including its eclectic cast, unexpected plot turns, and a strange post-credit rap video by the cast. They thoroughly dissect the movie's absurd moments and its place among shark movies. The conversation then shifts to 'Bait 3D', where the hosts discuss the unique premise of a tsunami trapping people in a grocery store with sharks.

What does "Joyful Non-Compliance" look like in today's world? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts explore how faith intersects with politics, justice, and cultural challenges. Diving into Romans 12 and 13, they discuss the biblical posture of joyful, peaceful non-compliance, emphasizing the church's role in society as a force of love, justice, and truth. From the complexities of navigating immigration issues to the tension between idolatry and injustice in government, this conversation unpacks what it means to live out cruciformity—a life shaped by the cross—in a chaotic world. Key insights include the distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, the theological implications of governance, and how Christians can embody a faithful, socially engaged presence amidst cultural turmoil.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Larry Connor is an entrepreneur, non-profit activist investor, and adventurist. In business, he is best known for founding The Connor Group, a real estate investment firm, and growing it from $0 to $5 billion in assets. Outside of work, Larry lives an adventurous life. Within a 12 month period Larry did something that had never been done before. He completed 3 dives to the deepest part of the ocean (the Mariana Trench) AND traveled to the International Space Station as an astronaut. In addition to that, Larry is a private pilot and was part of a Le Mans racing team that has won championships. “At The Connor Group, we don't have, and never will have, a mission statement. We have culture. When you have the latter, the former is not necessary.” The culture is built on 5 core values, on which we don't compromise: Do the right thing People count Live the Circle of Success Think long-term, not short-term Relentless pursuit of excellence “We exist, quite simply, to be the best.” “We don't hire for experience. We don't hire for knowledge. We don't care where you went to school. We hire for personality traits. Especially in leadership roles. You have to have the big 6. You have to have all 6. They are: 1. Be able to motivate and inspire others. 2. Self-accountability and ability to hold others accountable in an honest, direct manner. 3. Organizational multi-tasking. The speed of the game is fast. 4. Cultural fit. 5. Grit. Doing the thing that others say are impossible. 6. Work orientation. If you want to come in at 8:30, take a 90-minute lunch, and leave at 4:30, The Connor Group is not for you. “People never outperform their own self-image. So aim high!” “Mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people.” “By definition, if you want to be exceptional, you have to be different. If you're like everybody else, you're going to end up like everybody else.” In 2008, Larry said, “We simply decided we weren't going to participate in the global recession.” 3 P's - People, Plan, Process People's performances are measured through daily, weekly, and monthly IAMs (Individual Accountability Meetings). Clear expectations and clear management. When I asked him about becoming a billionaire, Larry immediately jumped to the impact he's having on others. “There are far more important standards than money. How well have you treated your associates? Have you made them better people? How much have you done to help other people? Have you made a difference?” All of that is available to all of us regardless of us being a billionaire or not. The company headquarters are next door to a hangar that houses a working model of the “Wright B Flyer” - The Wright Brothers' first production airplane.
