At 82, Cherie Gruenfeld is still racing IRONMAN. She's a 14-time world champion and is considered a GOAT of the sport. Wildly, she didn't even start running until 42 or triathlon until 48. Her lesson after four decades of training: if you want to preserve strength, power, and muscle as you age, you can't keep training the way you did when you were younger. We talk about what Cherie does differently now and, the mindset behind performing into your 80s More about Cherie: https://cheriegruenfeld.com/. She also founded Exceeding Expectations, which uses triathlon, mentoring, and education to help at-risk kids build a different future.

Steelers QB coach Tom Arth has been very complimentary of Will Howard so far throughout OTAs. The Steelers continue to try and convince people that Howard is going to be a very good quarterback. If they actually believed this, why would they spend a third-round pick on Drew Allar? Poni thinks that the Will Howard stuff sounds like Kenny Pickett rhetoric.

Steelers QB coach Tom Arth has been very complimentary of Will Howard so far throughout OTAs. The Steelers continue to try and convince people that Howard is going to be a very good quarterback. If they actually believed this, why would they spend a third-round pick on Drew Allar? Poni thinks that the Will Howard stuff sounds like Kenny Pickett rhetoric. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi thinks that the Steelers are just trying to give Will Howard a ton of confidence with the way they constantly talk him up with any chance they get. Aditi also thinks that bringing Aaron Rodgers back was a bad idea and the Pirates should have just let Will Howard start. She also thinks that the Steelers' approach with Drew Allar isn't exactly ridiculous. Donny Football Debrief – Aaron Rodgers donated to the US Women's Olympic flag football team.

In this episode, I return to our Oslo studio to welcome back a very special guest: Stephanie, our Espresso Bar Manager, who has been an essential part of Tim Wendelboe for 15 years. As the person responsible for training our baristas and overseeing the daily operations of the espressobar, Stephanie is the heartbeat of our retail experience. We discuss the impact of being ranked 2nd in the world on the 2026 "The Worlds 100 Best Coffee Shops" list, a recognition that has brought a surge of tourists and high expectations to our 50-square-meter space. Stephanie explains her philosophy on hospitality. While she always strives to make every coffee an exceptional one, her main goal is to make every guest feel seen and comfortable, as if they are entering her "living room". Looking ahead, Stephanie and I discuss the challenge of maintaining our quality while managing long lines and trying to live up to our guests expectations. For us, success isn't about opening more locations, it is about perfecting the one we have and ensuring that every cup remains a true reflection of the farm it came from.   Music by my uncle Jens Wendelboe.

At some point, exceeding expectations stops being impressive… and starts being expected.It becomes your thing. What you're known for.And more often than not… what quietly keeps you in place.Because your work is strong. Your standards are high.

*Recorded on January 8, 2026* The Boston Celtics were supposed to take a step back this season — but instead, they've shocked the NBA. On this episode of Hoopsology, we're joined by Sean Grande, the legendary play-by-play voice of the Boston Celtics, for a deep dive into one of the most surprising seasons in recent Celtics history. Sean breaks down: Why he underestimated this Celtics team How Jaylen Brown has elevated into elite territory Joe Mazzulla's coaching impact and adaptability The truth about Boston winning without Jayson Tatum What Celtics fans should realistically expect in the second half of the season How the NBA's media landscape, load management, and streaming future are changing the league Whether Boston should buy or stay patient at the trade deadline We also explore bigger NBA topics, including: Are fans being priced out of the NBA experience? Is load management hurting the league long-term? Why young players are more NBA-ready than ever The growing power of the Western Conference contenders This conversation goes beyond box scores and standings — it's about context, expectations, and perspective from someone who's seen decades of NBA basketball up close.

Ridgeline Minerals said new assay results from its Selena Project in Nevada exceeded expectations, further confirming the strength of the Chinchilla sulfide CRD discovery.In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, Michael McCrae is joined by Chad Peters, President and CEO of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX-V: RDG), to break down the latest results and what they mean for the broader system at Selena.Chad walks through why the company is highlighting discovery hole SE25-053, which returned multiple stacked sulfide horizons with strong zinc-silver-lead-gold grades, including a newly reported lower sulfide zone beneath the original discovery interval. The results reinforce the interpretation of a large, vertically extensive carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) system, rather than a single isolated intercept.The discussion covers how these new assays change Ridgeline's geological understanding of Chinchilla, how they fit with geophysics and alteration seen across the project, and why the presence of stacked mineralized horizons is critical for scale potential. Chad also outlines next steps for drilling, ongoing work under the South32 earn-in, and what investors should be watching for as follow-up holes are completed.

In this episode of The Freedom Writers Podcast, Erin Gruwell sits down with original Freedom Writer Sharaud Moore—the student whose experience of bullying in Room 203 ultimately sparked the movement that would become Freedom Writers. Growing up in Long Beach surrounded by gang violence and hampered by the low expectations placed on young African American men, Sharaud learned early how to protect himself and those he loved. In this deeply personal conversation, he reflects on the moments that shaped him, the mentors who stayed, and how those experiences led him to become a devoted father, award-winning educator, and decorated coach. Sharaud's story is a powerful reminder that mentorship isn't about saving kids, but about showing up with the consistency they need to exceed the limits the world set for them.

In this week's coaching conversation, Mount St Mary's head coach Donny Lind joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on exceeding expectations.Donny Lind just completed his first season as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Mount St. Mary's University. In his debut season (2024-2025), Lind orchestrated a remarkable turnaround for the Mountaineers. Picked 11th out of 13 teams in the MAAC preseason poll, Lind guided the team to a 23-13 overall record and a 12-8 mark in conference play, finishing tied for fourth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.The season was highlighted by a run through the MAAC Tournament, where the Mountaineers secured victories over Marist, Merrimack, and ultimately Iona in the championship game. This MAAC Tournament title marked the university's first championship in any sport since becoming a full MAAC member and earned them an automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Tournament.In the NCAA Tournament, the #16-seeded Mountaineers achieved the program's third-ever NCAA Tournament win with an 83-72 First Four victory over #16 seed American. Their inspiring tournament journey concluded in the First Round against #1 seed Duke.Donny Lind's impressive first year at the helm has garnered him recognition as a finalist for the Joe B. Hall Award, which honors the top first-time head coach in Division I college basketball. The team's 23 wins represent the highest win total for the program as a Division I institution and the most wins in a season for Mount St. Mary's since the 1986-87 season. Notably, his First Four victory also gave him the most wins for a first-year head coach in the Mount's history, surpassing the legendary Jim Phelan's first-year record.Before taking the head coaching position at Mount St. Mary's, Lind built a strong foundation as an assistant coach at several programs:VCU (Video Coordinator, 2010-2013): Lind began his post-graduate career at VCU, contributing through film analysis, analytics, and assisting with player development under Shaka Smart.Mount St. Mary's (Assistant Coach, 2013-2016): In his first stint at Mount St. Mary's, Lind served as the recruiting coordinator and helped assemble what is considered the winningest class in school history. The team won the NEC Tournament and reached the NCAA Tournament during his time. The Mountaineers consistently led the NEC in key offensive categories during his tenure.Radford University (Assistant Coach, 2016-2021): Working under Mike Jones, Lind was part of a staff that led Radford to back-to-back Big South regular-season titles (2018-19, 2019-20) and the 2017-18 Big South Tournament title, resulting in the program's first NCAA Tournament win in the First Four. He was recognized as a Top 50 Impactful Low Major Coach in Division I.UNC Greensboro (Assistant Coach, 2021-2024): Lind continued his successful assistant coaching career at UNC Greensboro, again under Mike Jones. The Spartans earned a #2 seed in the SoCon during his tenure.Donny Lind's return to Mount St. Mary's has already proven to be a significant success, marked by a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament victory in his very first season as a head coach. His ability to connect with players and implement an effective coaching strategy has clearly resonated with the team, setting a promising trajectory for the program's future.

How can you consistently delight your customers while also providing exceptional value? In business, relationships are everything. Companies prioritizing customer delight set themselves apart, creating lasting impressions and strong customer loyalty.  Stay tuned as Eric shares practical insights and examples to help you surprise, delight, and elevate your customer interactions. The Power of Small, Thoughtful Gestures The answer to delighting customers lies in making personal yet meaningful connections. A memorable experience might come from a simple, thoughtful action. For instance, Eric recalls how a small gesture when traveling– a message about his favorite TV show being available in his hotel room, left him with a lasting impression, proving that even a small effort can make customers feel special. Identifying and Improving TouchPoints To truly delight customers, you need to analyze every interaction with them. Mapping out the touch points throughout the entire customer journey allows you to gain insight into potential areas of improvement. By asking, "What could I have done differently?" business owners can uncover opportunities to surprise their customers, enhance their experiences, and exceed their expectations. Surprising Customers with the Unexpected Routine gestures, like sending a Christmas card, might be well-intentioned but fail to stand out. To make a lasting impression, surprise your customers with something unexpected, like recognizing a personal milestone or commemorating a specific event in their company. That can make a big difference, as those thoughtful touches demonstrate your attention to detail and show your customers that you value them.   Leveraging Expertise for Strategic Value Customer delight also comes from using your expertise to provide additional value. By aligning your services with your customers' goals and strategies, you can shift from being a service provider to becoming their strategic partner.  Customers will appreciate your proactive approach and genuine desire to support their success, and that will strengthen their relationship and build trust. Tough Love and Assertive Support Sometimes, you need to be assertive to help your customers. Offering honest feedback and sharing your expertise, even when that feels difficult, shows that you have their best interests at heart. Taking the initiative to speak up when necessary, even if it means pointing out potential issues, demonstrates your commitment and reliability, which can deepen their trust and improve future outcomes.
