On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is joined by Tarun Sharma (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tksharmalaw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) to tackle some of the biggest stories in college sports, professional, and broadcasting.The duo kicks off with the Big Ten's proposed $2.4 billion private equity deal with UC Investments. They break down how the deal would work, why Michigan and USC's boards are unanimously opposed, and whether locking in media rights through 2046 is dangerously short-sighted given how dramatically college sports has evolved over the past decade.Next, they dive into the Tyler Skaggs wrongful death trial that just began in California. The Angels face $118 million in damages as the family argues negligent retention after communications director Eric Kay—who was convicted of supplying the drugs that killed Skaggs—was kept on staff despite red flags. Could this set precedent for team liability across all professional sports?The guys then unpack Mark Sanchez's wild situation from the past couple of weeks: from Fox Sports analyst to felony assault charges after a 3 a.m. alley altercation in Indianapolis. They discuss the bizarre details, the destroyed broadcasting career, and whether there's any path back for the former quarterback.Dan and Tarun also react to James Franklin's $49 million Penn State buyout after the team collapsed from 3-0 to 3-3, debate whether Matt Rule is really a viable replacement, and discuss the mitigation clause that could reduce the payout. Plus, they touch on Bill Belichick's brutal start at UNC and whether his contract protections will even matter if the losses continue.Finally, they explore the Utah Mammoth trademark battle with Mammoth Hockey Bags, comparing it to the Cleveland Guardians roller derby saga and discussing the SEO argument happening in real time.What to Watch For: Dan highly recommends Amazon Prime's "Evolution of the Black Quarterback" documentary featuring Michael Vick, and shares fascinating stories about Doug Williams, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, and how the position slowly integrated. Tarun suggests Netflix's "Katrina: Hell and High Water" for those interested and who may know about Katrina, but not the aftermath.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

“It started out by doing a kind of a white paper that we called Imperatives for Quality Cancer Care. Ellen Stovall, our CEO [of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship] at the time, gave this report to Dr. Richard Klausner, who was the head of National Cancer Institute at the time. He called Ellen immediately and said, ‘Why are we not doing something about this?' Within one year, we had the Office of Cancer Survivorship at NCI,” ONS member Susan Leigh, BSN, RN, told ONS member Ruth Van Gerpen, MS, RN-BC, APRN-CNS, AOCNS®, PMGT-BC, member of the ONS 50th anniversary committee, during a conversation about her involvement in cancer survivorship advocacy. Van Gerpen also spoke with ONS members Deborah Mayer, PhD, RN, AOCN®, FAAN, and Timiya S. Nolan, PhD, APRN-CNP, ANP-BC, about the history and future of cancer survivorship.

Highlights From This Episode Leigh: “Another way that [National Coalition of Cancer Survivorship] got very involved with looking at how we keep this information coming and how we really share care with our outside physicians is the development of survivorship care plans. And then we also hoped that we would see more survivorship clinics by now. But between trying to get people to develop care plans and clinics, it's been like pulling teeth. It has been very difficult. And a lot of this struggle to get this going has been, first of all, there isn't enough money to do this. There isn't enough time for immediate staff to take these on, and we just don't have enough staff as it is now. And survivorship is not a moneymaker, so it's just something that has to be done kind of on the side.” TS 11:54 Mayer: “When I became ONS president in the '80s—I was the fourth ONS president—we were given a cancer grant to do something with our presidency. And that was when I really wanted to bring attention to rehabilitation as a means to address cancer survivorship issues because we had a very ‘treat 'em and street 'em' attitude. We gave you your treatment, and we sent you home, and you had to figure out the rest. And there wasn't a lot of knowledge or support to help you put your life back together again afterwards. And so in that process, it was an interdisciplinary group of professionals that tried to come up with what was an appropriate position statement because ONS was just starting to do position statements. And so we developed a first position statement on cancer rehabilitation to address survivorship issues in like 1987 to '89.” TS 17:15 Mayer: “When I went back to school for my PhD, I did my dissertation on health behaviors of cancer survivors and realizing the huge gap in the care that they were getting for anything other than their cancer. We were still focused on their tumor and on treating their tumor. But we were missing the picture that if the cancer didn't kill them, their heart disease would, and they would develop diabetes and other things. … But as people started living longer and longer, we were missing all these other chronic illnesses that would contribute to their quality of life and overall lifespan. So my dissertation put me on a different path, and I think the second part of my career was really focusing on instead of just relieving suffering and the quality of life issues, really looking at cancer care delivery and how we could do a better job of doing the team of teams that people needed to have their issues addressed.” TS 19:34 Nolan: “I ended up having my first permanent role on a hematology-oncology unit at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. And there, I literally saw patients who were fighting for their lives. And despite the severity of their illness, they wanted more than just survival. They wanted to have meaning. They wanted to have dignity. They wanted to have impact with the time that they had left, whatever it was. And so those experiences planted a seed in me. And that seed was that cancer care must extend beyond treatment and we need to embrace, really, quality of life.” TS 23:31 Leigh: “I was not the researcher. I was not the major writer. I was not the identifier of a lot of the risk factors. But I spread the seed. I took all that information from different sources and shared that with all of the audiences that I spoke to. So I was called a seed spreader, kind of the Johnny Appleseed of oncology nursing at that particular time. And then once we saw academia step in and say, ‘We need to get good data about what's going on here,' … then my stories and stories from survivors started decreasing and the presentations were given more from the academic standpoint.” TS 34:41 Nolan: “I really believe in community, academic, government, and industry approaches to survivorship as well. We can no longer operate in silos. We really need to learn how to walk across the aisle, build bridges as we can so that we can do this work together because we know that communities bring lived wisdom and context. And academicians bring the research and the ability to create the evidence. The government brings policy and public health infrastructure, and certainly industry brings innovation and scalability. But also in this new paradigm that we find ourselves in, the industry may also bring the dollars to be able to help us to do even more work.” TS 43:45

In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we explore one of the most common questions Reiki practitioners and students ask: How is Holy Fire® Reiki different from traditional Usui Reiki?Both are forms of Reiki — a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing — but they represent different expressions of the same universal life force energy. This short reflection explains the distinctions while honoring both traditions as equally valuable and transformative.Key Insights:Symbols and Consciousness: Traditional Usui Reiki uses three Level II symbols and one Master symbol to focus healing energy. Holy Fire® Reiki introduces additional symbols unique to its system, designed to activate higher levels of consciousness.Attunements and Placements: Traditional Usui Reiki involves attunements passed through the teacher. Holy Fire® Reiki replaces these with placements and ignitions—direct transmissions from Source energy itself—creating a deeply personal and direct connection with Reiki.Vibrational Evolution: As human consciousness evolves toward a more heart-centered vibration, Holy Fire® Reiki represents this shift. It channels a higher frequency of healing energy aligned with the expanding awareness of unity and compassion.Ever-Evolving Reiki: Usui taught that Reiki is ever-developing, a living energy that grows as we do. Holy Fire® Reiki embodies this principle, inviting us to continue raising our vibration and bringing more light into our healing practice and the world.This episode reminds us that Reiki, whether traditional Usui or Holy Fire®, is a path of evolution, connection, and love. Each system offers its own doorway into higher awareness and deeper peace.The 5 Minutes of Peace podcast is created by The Peace Room in Boise, Idaho.Learn more about Reiki classes, sessions, and events at www.ThePeaceRoom.love.

A website's success is determined not just by how it looks, but "how it operates."Foundational SEO: Images and Site Speed• Website Speed: A fast-loading website is paramount for user experience across all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).• Image Compression: Before uploading, all images should be compressed using a tool like compressor.io. Large image files significantly slow down page load times. ◦ An example was given: 50 products, each with 5 variations and a 5MB image size, quickly compounds into a massive data load that cripples site speed (5MB x 5 variations x 50 products).• Image File Naming: File names must be descriptive and keyword-rich. A file named red-cotton-socks.jpg provides algorithmic context, whereas photo-123.jpeg has "no context... no value... no search traffic."• Alternative Text (Alt Text): SEO-optimized alt text is crucial. It describes the image for screen readers (improving accessibility) and for search engines, providing additional contextual relevance for keywords.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Content as a Cornerstone of AttractionThe primary method for optimizing a site and attracting visitors is to create high-value content.• The Visitor Journey: The goal is to convert visitors into readers, then into "clickers," and finally into "action takers."• Pre-Purchase Content Strategy: For a startup or a new product launch (e.g., a membership program), the strategy should focus on building infrastructure and anticipation. ◦ Create content that educates the audience on the program before it launches. ◦ Examples include offering a quiz, a survey, a checklist, or an onboarding guide in exchange for an email signup.• Multi-Format Content: A powerful strategy involves creating content in multiple formats. ◦ Record a podcast discussing a topic, then transcribe it into a full blog post. ◦ This provides two links and two formats (audio and text) on the same topic, doubling the online footprint. Over two and a half months, this can result in 20 distinct pieces of information online.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Evolution of Search: From Ranking to Brand MentionsThe traditional concept of "ranking" on Google is becoming outdated.• Google recently removed pagination parameters (the num=100 parameter), making it harder to appear on subsequent search pages and limiting how AI servers scrape data.• The new paradigm is to focus on earning brand mentions on AI platforms like ChatGPT.• This is achieved by providing comprehensive, evidence-backed content in multiple formats (text, audio, video). A competitor with a blog, podcast, and video on a topic will have a significant advantage over one with just a blog.Tune in for more of these search engine marketing insights and start monetizing your Shopify SEO or WordPress SEO efforts today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it really mean when GPT-5 “thinks”? In this conversation, OpenAI's VP of Research Jerry Tworek explains how modern reasoning models work in practice—why pretraining and reinforcement learning (RL/RLHF) are both essential, what that on-screen “thinking” actually does, and when extra test-time compute helps (or doesn't). We trace the evolution from O1 (a tech demo good at puzzles) to O3 (the tool-use shift) to GPT-5 (Jerry calls it “03.1-ish”), and talk through verifiers, reward design, and the real trade-offs behind “auto” reasoning modes.We also go inside OpenAI: how research is organized, why collaboration is unusually transparent, and how the company ships fast without losing rigor. Jerry shares the backstory on competitive-programming results like ICPC, what they signal (and what they don't), and where agents and tool use are genuinely useful today. Finally, we zoom out: could pretraining + RL be the path to AGI? This is the MAD Podcast —AI for the 99%. If you're curious about how these systems actually work (without needing a PhD), this episode is your map to the current AI frontier.OpenAIWebsite - https://openai.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/OpenAIJerry TworekLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-tworek-b5b9aa56X/Twitter - https://x.com/millionintFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro(01:01) What Reasoning Actually Means in AI(02:32) Chain of Thought: Models Thinking in Words(05:25) How Models Decide Thinking Time(07:24) Evolution from O1 to O3 to GPT-5(11:00) Before OpenAI: Growing up in Poland, Dropping out of School, Trading(20:32) Working on Robotics and Rubik's Cube Solving(23:02) A Day in the Life: Talking to Researchers(24:06) How Research Priorities Are Determined(26:53) Collaboration vs IP Protection at OpenAI(29:32) Shipping Fast While Doing Deep Research(31:52) Using OpenAI's Own Tools Daily(32:43) Pre-Training Plus RL: The Modern AI Stack(35:10) Reinforcement Learning 101: Training Dogs(40:17) The Evolution of Deep Reinforcement Learning(42:09) When GPT-4 Seemed Underwhelming at First(45:39) How RLHF Made GPT-4 Actually Useful(48:02) Unsupervised vs Supervised Learning(49:59) GRPO and How DeepSeek Accelerated US Research(53:05) What It Takes to Scale Reinforcement Learning(55:36) Agentic AI and Long-Horizon Thinking(59:19) Alignment as an RL Problem(1:01:11) Winning ICPC World Finals Without Specific Training(1:05:53) Applying RL Beyond Math and Coding(1:09:15) The Path from Here to AGI(1:12:23) Pure RL vs Language Models

Today I'm chatting with Founder of Guides for Brides and Beyond Weddings Alison Hargreaves. Having spent over 30 years in the wedding industry she started to think about how she could give back. Our industry is vastly under regulated and Alison could see the need for businesses to show couples they could be trusted. This week she officially hosted the launch of the UK Wedding Association, a not for profit organisation designed to bring the industry together. Today I am diving deep into what the association is all about and why I think you should get involved.Join the UK Wedding Association here.Time Stamps:00:00 - The Importance of Lifelong Learning in Business06:34 - The Evolution of the Wedding Industry11:44 - The Importance of Trust in the Wedding Industry14:55 - Building a Collaborative Industry Standard26:22 - Joining the Association: A Step-by-Step Guide34:13 - Understanding Membership Fees and Industry Support42:05 - The Role of Associations in the Business CommunityMentioned in this episode:TikTok Pro is back - will you join us?This November myself and Simona will be back with round 2 of TikTok Pro!

Current approaches to Zeer Trust implementation can leave gaps in security. Today, we sat down with Akamai's Mike Colson to discuss the concept of combining Identity Credential Access Management with Least Permissive Trust. Setting the stage, Mike Colson details some of the challenges in the varying kinds of Zero Trust that are being applied in the Federal Government. The standard way of implementing ICM can result in assigning more resources than necessary, leading to permission creep and inflexible permission. Over provisioning: The amount of data being created is almost impossible to manage. A person may be given access to a data set they are not permitted to see. A “just in time” permission structure would help avoid that situation. Stale:  Just because a person has access to a data set on a Tuesday does not mean he has access on a Wednesday. People can leave the workforce, be reassigned, or change roles. Access must be constantly updated. Static:  Ron Popiel made the phrase, “Set it and forget it,” memorable. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to a permission structure that may limit access to key data. This may be considered under-provisioning, potentially leading to time delays in obtaining key information. Colson took the listeners through several iterations of access control, including Role-Based Access Control and Attribute-Based Access Control. On top of these old favorites, Colson discussed what may be called Context-Based Access Control, or what he calls Least Permissive Trust. Least permissive trust is a concept Colson outlined, which uses user behavior, device health, and contextual factors to grant permission dynamically. The conclusion is simple:  not all Zero Trust is created equal.

Trends and buzzwords come and go, but the real changes in treasury have come as a result of steady evolution. Drawing on years of dialogue with clients across the globe, Dick Oskam, ING's Global Head of Transaction Services Sales, reflects on treasury's transformation – from fragmented systems to real-time cash management – driven by technology, regulation, and resilience. 

Greg and Tim continue evaluating clips from The Diary of a CEO, discussing the need for meaning to inform purpose, whether evolution can explain our sense of meaning, whether subjective experience can be evidential, atheist Alex O'Connor's advice for finding meaning, and more.   Topics: Meaning comes first, then purpose flows from meaning. (00:00) It's not just a matter of finding “something” to give you purpose. (07:00) Is purpose found in working on a task you believe will fulfill you when you finish? (15:00) Can our sense of meaning be explained by evolution? (22:00) Is technology destroying our sense of meaning by exposing us to competing understandings of the world that show us our beliefs are merely subjective? (31:00) Can the subjective sense of meaning a person feels be evidence for the truth of his view? (37:00) Atheist Alex O'Connor's advice for someone who wants to stir up feelings of meaning in his life. (46:00) What's the purpose of religion?

In a universe of non-living space and matter, life is incredibly rare. And in order to stay alive, humans and other organisms have to overcome a myriad of engineering challenges. Just how is this done? And more to the point, is an evolutionary process capable of producing the solutions to these many challenges? On today's episode, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with Dr. Howard Glicksman, co-author with engineer Steve Laufmann of the new book Your Amazing Body. The book explores some of your body's greatest marvels, including how your hearing and vision work, how you coordinate your movements, and — perhaps the greatest miracle of them all — how you developed from a single cell at conception. In Part 2, Dr. Glicksman dives into some examples of the countless challenges life must overcome. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

Nearly 1 in 3 American adults admit they're still afraid of the dark — and surprisingly, men report that fear more often than women. In this fascinating and surprisingly relatable episode, the hosts explore why that fear exists and why it might actually be a good thing. From ancient survival instincts and the primal role of men as protectors to modern security habits and archaeological evidence of early human danger, this episode dives into the biology, anthropology, and psychology of why the dark still unnerves us. Featuring listener texts, real science, and a dash of humor, it's a journey from cave fires to motion-sensor lights — and what the darkness says about who we are.

From election results that don't match voter sentiment to fears of the dark that reveal our primal survival instincts, this episode dives into the forces shaping modern America. We unpack alleged census manipulation that could have stolen up to 25 congressional seats, explore the upcoming Supreme Court race-based redistricting case, and reveal how distorted districts affect budgets, taxation, and representation. Then, we pivot to human nature, examining why men report greater fear of the dark, the evolutionary roots of this instinct, and archaeological evidence showing the dangers our ancestors faced. Finally, we highlight emerging threats to personal freedom, including digital IDs, facial recognition, and the erosion of anonymity in America and abroad.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking discoveries that reshape our understanding of Mars, the Moon, and the Milky Way Galaxy.Ancient Oceans on Mars: Geological Evidence RevealedA new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters presents compelling geological evidence that Mars' Northern Hemisphere was once home to a vast ocean. Lead author Chris from the University of Arkansas discusses how comparisons between river rocks on Earth and Martian sediment reveal ancient river deltas and backwater zones, suggesting that liquid water flowed on the Red Planet, increasing the possibility of past life. This episode delves into the processes of sedimentation and erosion that shaped Mars' landscape, providing insights into its watery past.The Moon's South Pole-Aitken Basin: Unveiling Impact MysteriesA fresh analysis of the Moon's largest impact crater, the South Pole-Aitken Basin, sheds light on its formation and the Moon's geological history. Researchers have discovered that this massive crater's shape indicates an impact from the north, challenging previous assumptions. As the Artemis missions prepare to land near this basin, they will have the opportunity to study material excavated from the lunar interior, potentially unlocking secrets about the Moon's evolution and the asymmetries in its crust.Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope: Mapping the Milky WayNASA's upcoming Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope is set to revolutionise our understanding of the Milky Way's interstellar medium. This mission will map around 20 billion stars, using infrared light to penetrate the dust clouds obscuring our view. Chief investigator Catherine Zucker explains how this data will refine our models of star formation and the galaxy's structure, while also addressing the ongoing mysteries of galactic spiral patterns and their role in star birth.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesGeophysical Research Lettershttps://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/19448007Naturehttps://www.nature.com/natureNASA Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescopehttps://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Ancient Oceans on Mars: Geological Evidence RevealedThe Moon's South Pole-Aitken Basin: Unveiling Impact MysteriesNancy Chris Roman Space Telescope: Mapping the Milky Way(00:00) Evidence of ancient oceans on Mars(10:15) New insights into the Moon's largest impact crater(19:30) The upcoming Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope mission(27:00) Science Robert: Heatwaves and their impact on global mortality

Send us a textThe genetic & developmental changes behind bipedalism & human anatomy.Wide release date: October 15, 2025.Episode Summary: Dr. Terence Capellini talks about the evolution of bipedalism in humans, exploring when and why it emerged, the anatomical changes required, and the genetic mechanisms behind these adaptations. They discuss how environmental shifts, like shrinking forests, drove the need for upright walking, the gradual skeletal changes in the pelvis and limbs, and how these changes may have facilitated larger brain sizes. Capellini highlights the complexity of evolutionary processes, emphasizing the role of multiple genetic changes in regulatory regions rather than single genes.About the guest: Terence Capellini, PhD is a professor and chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on developmental genetics and human evolution.Discussion Points:Bipedalism likely became common ~3.5 million years ago with Australopithecus afarensis, with earlier hominins like Ardipithecus showing mosaic traits.Environmental changes, such as shrinking forests and expanding grasslands, created selective pressures favoring bipedal locomotion.The human pelvis evolved to be shorter, wider, and curved, with muscles like the gluteus medius shifting to stabilize upright walking.Genetic changes in non-coding regulatory regions, not protein-coding genes, drive the developmental shifts in pelvic growth, with hundreds of small-effect changes involved.Bipedalism may have widened the birth canal, potentially enabling the evolution of larger brains in later hominins like Homo erectus.Humans have more slow-twitch muscle fibers than chimpanzees, supporting endurance activities like long-distance running, possibly linked to energetic trade-offs with brain growth.Shoulder and arm adaptations for throwing and tool use evolved more gradually, becoming prominent ~2 million years ago with Homo erectus.Reference paper:Study: The evolution of hominin bipedalism in two stepsRelated content:M&M 171: Comparative Brain Evolution: Mammals, Primates & Humans | Robert Barton*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Send us a textThe loudest thing we brought home from Shed Week wasn't a new tool—it was a clearer mission. After a week packed with the Shed Sale Summit, NSRA meetings, and an expo floor buzzing with real conversations, we unpack what actually moves the needle: the human element of selling, cleaner workflows from quote to delivery, and a community willing to ask hard questions about bias, standards, and growth.We walk through standout moments—Rob Ball's high‑energy kick‑off, sharp insights from Connor Dalen and Joe Ignace, and a panel that tackled RTO, finance, and dealer realities without flinching. We talk openly about NSRA's evolving role and why this industry's willingness to collaborate—even among competitors—might be its greatest strength. Then we get personal: receiving an award while staying grounded, the tension between humility and visibility, and how new media forces creators to define fair play, partnerships, and where the line is between influence and integrity.Here's the shift: moving from endless one‑off calls to a defined consulting model that actually serves operators. We introduce GrowthOps—fractional C‑suite support for founder‑led companies that have hit their ceiling—and map out what changes next for the show. Expect more structure, clearer boundaries, and new voices stepping behind the mic, all while keeping the same promise: practical insights that help builders, dealers, haulers, and RTO teams win.

High school teacher of 27 years, Carrie Daily of Ohio speaks of her spiritual journey and how it has altered her teaching style and relationships with students. We then go into cell phones/technology and teens in the classroom. In the state of Ohio, a huge shift in phone policy guidelines has occurred which starts statewide Jan 1, 2026. Carrie's school has already started implementing -- they chose to put phones away throughout the school day. Other states in 2025 who implement an all-out ban/restriction of cell phones during school hours, there are 18 states including GA, TN, AL, TX. There are 19 states with no phone policies. Carrie gets down and dirty on the massive suicides her school experienced, big tech, social media, data collection, the anxious generation, fear, rewiring, the robotic glaze of the students, AI, teacher burnout and more.

We had so much fun with this episode (probably because it was a break from potty training)! The main topic was a study that found a correlation between energy availability and performance across a season in collegiate runners. It was a powerful, objective look about what happens when the body is underfueled. You know it's a good study when it makes us add 2 more eggs to the post-podcast frying pan (10 eggs total).And this was truly one of our most joyous episodes ever! Other topics: how potty training and coaching are similar, a follow-up on uphill treadmill workouts, the theory of “just say no to rhabdo” runs, training plans, a study on the kindness v. rudeness of AI prompts, drama at the Kona Women's Ironman Champs, poles and microspikes at Western States, the Chicago Marathon and fueling, Suunto sues Garmin, how to think about long-term growth, taking in gels, taper theory, psychology of fast finishes, and a question on business growth.What happens when our nutrition is largely based on eggs and Leo's chicken nuggets? THEY BE CLUCKINnnnn.May we all be cringe until the day we die,-David and Megan Click "Claim Your Sponsorship" for $40 free credit at The Feed here: thefeed.com/swapGet Protein Vafels: https://thefeed.com/products/vafels-with-protein?variant=41648267067455    Buy Janji's amazing gear: https://janji.com/ (code "SWAP")For training plans, weekly bonus podcasts, articles, and videos: patreon.com/swap Article on Z2 Uphill Treadmill training theory: https://www.patreon.com/posts/z2-uphill-theory-129560209

It goes straight to the energetic blueprint that's coded in your DNA. This energetic blueprint happened at your birth, as subatomic particles moved through your body and imprinted your DNA. It's the map that's going to lead you back to the most authentic version of you." — Emma Dunwoody "We think we know who we're meant to be and what we're meant to do and we really don't. We can't see that big picture. When you start living more in alignment with your Human Design, you learn to tap into the body, and you're constantly told in every moment what is right for you and what isn't." — Emma Dunwoody "Our purpose is bigger than the job that we do. Our purpose is our energy. Our greatest purpose is just to be our most authentic self, because then we are fulfilling the puzzle piece we need to fulfill to move to this new world." — Emma Dunwoody
