Today's guest is Bill Smart. Bill is a sport scientist and physical preparation coach specializing in elite fight-sports performance. As the founder of Smarter Performance and the Strength & Conditioning lead for the CORE MMA team, Bill integrates cutting-edge evidence with real-world high-performance systems to enable combat athletes to show up on fight day in optimal physiological condition. Much of the conversation in sports performance hinges on speed and power development, or conditioning, as a stand-alone conversation. Sport itself is dynamic and combines elements of speed, strength, and endurance in a dynamic space. Training should follow the same considerations to be truly alive and effective. In the episode, Bill shares his journey from cycling and rowing to combat sports. He discusses how long isometric holds develop both physical and mental resilience, and their implementation in his programming. The conversation dives into muscle-oxygen dynamics, integrating ISOs with conditioning, and how testing shapes his approach. Bill also explores flywheel eccentrics, fascicle-length development, and why sprinting is a key element for maintaining elastic power in elite fighters.

Watch athletes move in multiple contexts before prescribing anything. Look for how they transition between patterns, not only the end positions. Use video less for judgment and more for curiosity. What is the athlete trying to do? 11:35 – Identifying limiting factors Athletes plateau when coaches overemphasize one metric or capacity while ignoring the real constraint. Look beyond the weight room; technical or psychological factors often drive plateaus. Use minimal testing data to narrow focus rather than justify complexity. Sometimes the limiting factor is overcoaching. Let athletes fail and self-correct. 20:42 – Strength that transfers Transfer happens when strength work complements, not competes with, the sport's rhythm and intent. Prioritize strength that preserves elasticity and timing rather than just force output. Rotate exercises often enough to keep athletes adaptive, but not so often that they lose rhythm. Load movement patterns, not just muscles. Treat every lift as coordination under resistance. 30:01 – Variability and play in training Bill describes play as a teaching tool that restores creativity and problem-solving in athletes. Use small games, uneven surfaces, or timing constraints to build adaptable movers. Variability should be purposeful. Expand coordination bandwidth without losing technical intent. Schedule “uncoached” time in sessions where athletes explore movement freely. 40:36 – Coaching communication and connection Great coaching depends on trust and empathy before information transfer. Deliver feedback as collaboration,

When Waymo robotaxis first rolled out onto San Francisco streets in 2021, people were skeptical. But less than five years later, Waymos are popular – a new poll finds local support at 67% –  though still polarizing. A San Francisco Supervisor is advocating to allow counties to decide whether they are allowed on their roads. As Waymo extends their service this week to San Jose and Bay Area highways, we'll talk with those for and against Waymo expansion. And we'll look at the future of autonomous vehicles as new competition looks to enter the market.

Matt leads the marketplace at right side up. Matt has over 12 years of selling experience. He's launched and sold multiple personal brands, all starting from a retail arbitrage budget. Four years ago, he started an agency right Side up to help high growth CPG brands focus on dominating the marketplace. They've been able to scale many brands from 0 to 3 million in monthly sales. Welcome to the podcast, Matt.Matt 00:00:29  Thanks for having me. Josh, how are you doing?Josh 00:00:31  Doing great. What are some of the key things that you, you advise or recommend when launching a brand new product on Amazon that are working today? Because, as you know, a lot of those black hat tactics, you know, have come and gone. you also have the, you know, the rebates that everybody was doing, and now it's kind of leveled the playing field a little bit more. Tell me what you're doing that's been working for you guys.Matt 00:00:55  Yeah. So first off, I think that the biggest thing is making sure you have a big enough budget to launch your products.Matt 00:01:02  like the days of 5 to $10,000 budgets to launch products are just gone in my eyes, at least in the spaces that I work in. so we usually overestimate our budgets by like 20 to 30% of what we actually think it would be just to make sure that we're in a good place in case it doesn't go the way that we want it to. but outside of that, we're looking for a couple of major things. one is we want to see continued growth in the category. Amazon's making that way easier now with like the search query reports, the product Opportunity Explorer. There's so many internal tools that they're giving you access to now that you can really easily find that. And then the other big thing that we're looking for is categories that you've got maybe like 3 or 4 power players in. And by power players they aren't really doing that much. They're still kind of growing, but they're ahead of like the other 20 items there. really it just kind of is showing us that, hey, there's enough sales to go around.Matt 00:02:01  If these four people can all kind of be around the same and customers really don't care which one they're choosing right now, they're just basically picking whichever ones at the top from what we can see. So yeah, we used to go into very heavy like categories where you would just, I mean, like launches would be half 1 million to $1 million. Wow. and if you could make them work. Yeah. The payback is amazing because of the volume that some of those categories do. But if you lose, like, it absolutely sucks. so for sure, what we're looking at like 50 to $75,000, to launch a product right now and the supplement space that we're kind of going after, and we've seen it, it's kind of the sweet spot for everything. so if we do find a product and we think it's going to cost more than that to actually launch it, we'll hold off for a bit and see if we can find some other ones that are within our kind of thresholds.Josh 00:02:53  That makes sense.Josh 00:02:54  So how do you estimate, you know, that budget, right. What's the difference between a half 1 million to $1 million product launch budget versus something that's 50 to $75,000? And how do you estimate that?Matt 00:03:07  Yeah. So the the biggest thing is ads. I mean, we've really in the last like three months, all of our launches have been almost exclusively on Amazon through Amazon Ads. so we're pulling averages of cost per clicks through the advertising API and really just looking at, okay, what is the conversion rate of the top products? If we wanted to spend to get that conversion rate on that keyword, like what would it cost us per day and working that backwards? the other big thing that I don't know anyone else that's kind of touched on this, but what we what we've been doing here recently is we have a seller account where we'll create the product beforehand. It's not the product that we're actually going to sell. We'll put some items as merchant fulfilled, and then we'll just have ourselves by the products.Matt 00:03:54  So that way we get all the search query report data for that product before we actually launch it.Josh 00:03:58  Oh, that's that's fascinating. So you do that in a separate account then? Is that what you're saying?Matt 00:04:03  We've been doing it in the same account, just like a different brand name. and throw up a listing merchant fulfilled and do a couple buys through it, and then you get all that data.Josh 00:04:14  Intere...

Open conversations about gender and identity are more pervasive than ever. Policies impacting gender identity and transgender youth dominate the headlines and ballots. How can parents really guide our kids through big questions about who they are and who others are, with openness instead of fear?Jeanette Jennings, president and cofounder of the Trans Kids Purple Rainbow Foundation — and mom to trans activist Jazz Jennings — shares how her family learned to listen, adapt, and lead with love as Jazz discovered her identity. Later, developmental and clinical psychologist Dr. Diane Ehrensaft helps parents understand what gender is (and isn't), why it matters, and how to start these conversations at home. Key takeaways for parents:Every child has a gender story. As parents, it's our job to listen to their story.Talk openly about gender to build empathy and confidence for everyone.Establish as a family what support and allyship looks like for you.Expand our own understandings of sex, gender, gender expression, and sexuality to have conversations about it. Being tolerant is not the same as being welcome.⏱️ Timestamps:Follow Jeanette Jennings on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanette_jennings_Follow Dr. Diane Ehrensaft on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ucsfchildrens/New episodes every Tuesday:YouTube: https://swap.fm/l/P8iCjNFnIWI7kTmU0vmkApple: https://swap.fm/l/kCnCRNdWkpuYYbyzyE77Spotify: https://swap.fm/l/SOQe4gSHh3vVIwPGFDetOr wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall unpack one of the most practical frameworks for growing a coaching practice — drawn from Acts 1:8 and the idea of starting in "Jerusalem" (the people who already know, like, and trust you) before moving outward to "Judea," "Samaria," and "the ends of the earth." Through stories, examples, and coaching wisdom, they explore why so many coaches try to start in Samaria — with websites and strangers — instead of the relationships that already surround them. The conversation blends biblical insight with business strategy, helping listeners reframe how they think about client development and confidence building. Key Highlights The "Jerusalem–Judea–Samaria–Ends of the Earth" model provides a spiritual and strategic roadmap for building a coaching practice. Many new coaches mistakenly try to market to strangers (Samaria) instead of starting with those who already know and trust them (Jerusalem). Confidence grows naturally when you start with low-hanging fruit — people ready and willing to engage — rather than high-hanging, resistant prospects. A handful of "champions" in your life want you to succeed and are eager to open doors, but you have to be willing to ask for help. Building a network takes time and humility — and knowing where you're starting is essential to making sustainable progress. Takeaways Start in your Jerusalem. Focus first on people who already know, like, and trust you. These are the relationships most ready to bear fruit. Ask for help. Don't rob your champions of the blessing of supporting you. They want to help — and connecting you is often their joy. Build confidence through success. Each small win strengthens your confidence and credibility, preparing you for larger opportunities. Be clear and courageous. Tell people you're getting started and invite them to partner with you — at least one will likely say yes. Expand outward intentionally. As your network and experience grow, let your influence move naturally from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria, rather than leaping ahead.

When life pushes back, most people retreat -but a few get stronger. The difference isn't the weight; it's how you lift it.

Ever feel like you're working harder than ever but not actually getting closer to freedom? Most entrepreneurs chase revenue, not realizing they're building a business that traps them instead of freeing them. So, how do you create a business that gives you freedom, fortune, and fulfillment without burning out? The answer lies in building a business moat.In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive into a game-changing framework I learned from Cody Sanchez, a New York Times bestselling author, CEO of Contrarian Thinking, and serial entrepreneur who's on a mission to help one million people achieve financial freedom through business ownership. Cody is known for buying “boring” businesses—laundromats, car washes, service companies and turning them into cash-flowing machines. Her secret? The M.O.A.T. Strategy, a simple yet powerful system to protect your business, your time, and your peace.Here's the gist: M.O.A.T. stands for Margin, Operations, Advantage, and Total Addressable Market. It's all about creating a competitive barrier around your business so that competitors stay out, cash keeps flowing in, and you build a fortress of freedom. Let's unpack a few powerful takeaways that you can apply right now.Margin matters most.If your business isn't profitable, it's fragile. Cody's rule of thumb is to buy or build businesses that cash flow on day one. So, audit your margins—are you charging enough for your time and talent? Sometimes the simplest solution is raising your prices.Systematize or suffer.Your business should run without you. That's the true test of freedom. Start documenting tasks you've done more than three times, then delegate them. Freedom lives in frameworks, my friend—if it's repeatable, automate or outsource it.Identify your unfair advantage.Your edge might be your brand, your relationships, your humor, or your community. Double down on what makes you you. Competitors can copy your strategy, but they can't replicate your soul.Know your market size.If you're playing too small, you're capping your growth. Expand your total addressable market—how many people can your product or service actually help? Think bigger.Do a quarterly M.O.A.T. audit.Rate yourself 1–10 in each of the four areas: Margin, Operations, Advantage, and Market. Find your lowest score and make that your next focus. It's a simple way to plug holes before your business springs a leak.This episode is all about working happier and smarter, not harder. Whether you're running a $100K business or a $100M empire, the MOAT strategy helps you protect your profits, your peace, and your purpose.If you're ready to build your own fortress of freedom, tune in to the full episode and start happy hustlin' your way toward that life of balance, passion, and positive impact.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Chad Sylvester to break down what it takes to level up. We dig into his recent trip to Idaho—a hunt that didn't exactly go as planned but came loaded with lessons that stick. We talk about when to double down on what you do best and when to push past your comfort zone to grow as a hunter. From understanding terrain-specific deer behavior to balancing specialization with adaptability, this one's all about the mental side of the game—how you think, adjust, and evolve season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 464 Mastering your whitetail hunt requires a diverse toolkit and adaptable mindset. Specialization builds confidence but can narrow your perspective. Chad's Idaho hunt delivered hard-earned lessons and real-world insights. Micro-terrain and historical data hold the keys to consistent deer encounters. Familiarity bias can stall growth—explore new ground and learn from it. Listening to what the hunt tells you is often more valuable than any plan.

The Trump administration has launched one of the biggest leadership shake-ups in U.S. immigration history — replacing half of the top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials with Border Patrol veterans. Reports say frustration inside the White House over slow deportation numbers — and a push to integrate more militarized Border Patrol tactics into ICE's operations. Critics warn it's a step toward a nationalized deportation force. Independent media has never been more important.

It captivates you, and captures your heart as the buzz shifts up to your imagination.Think back to a time where you met someone and felt an instant connection.Or found yourself drawn to a place you've never been, yet it feels like home?There might be more to these moments than coincidence.Today, I want to explore a concept that completely reframes how we understand reality: the idea that all versions of you—past, present, and future—are happening simultaneously, right now.Parallel lives are fricken' mind boggling.I finally cracked the code of a real - tangible example of how to find resolve in this mystical truth.Have you ever met someone and felt an instant, inexplicable connection?Or found yourself drawn to a place you've never been, yet it feels like home?There might be more to these moments than coincidence.Let's jump in and explore a concept that completely reframes how we understand reality:The idea that all versions of you—past, present, and future—are happening simultaneously, right now.Everything exists at once.Time isn't a river flowing from past to future. It's more like a vast ocean where every possibility exists simultaneously across different frequencies. You're simply tuned into one station—this life, this moment—but countless other versions are playing alongside it.Think about it like this: You're a radio receiver focused on one frequency, but you have the ability to tune into other stations. Those “past lives” you've heard about? They're not behind you. Those “future possibilities” you dream of? They're not ahead of you. They're all happening now, in parallel dimensions of experience.The people in your life are mirrors.Everyone you encounter—from your closest family to the stranger who smiled at you this morning—reflects a parallel version of yourself. They're autonomous beings living their own experiences, yes, but what you see in them mirrors the vibrations you're putting out.This is why certain people trigger you while others inspire you. They're showing you aspects of yourself you either resist or embrace.Your difficult colleague? They might be reflecting your own inner critic. That friend who always seems so peaceful? They're showing you your own capacity for serenity.But it goes deeper than this reality.Beyond the people in your current life exist infinite alternate versions of your world.What if you had taken that job in another city?What if you had said yes instead of no to that opportunity?Those realities exist now, complete with their own versions of you exploring different paths.And even beyond Earth-like experiences, parts of you exist in other dimensions, other worlds, as different types of beings entirely.All connected.All you.All now.Here's what this means for your daily life:When you feel drawn to something—a place, an idea, a person—trust it.You might be picking up information from a parallel self who has something valuable to share.When synchronicities appear, pay attention.They're often downloads from other versions of you who've already walked similar paths.When you meet someone who feels familiar, honor that recognition.They might be reflecting a parallel self you're ready to integrate.

When it comes to sex, we often think about safety and pleasure as being at odds with one another. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In this episode, we’re talking about some new Kinsey Institute research looking at people’s experiences with Lorals for Protection, a product designed to offer both protection and pleasure during oral sex. I am joined by Dr. Cynthia Graham, a senior scientist at the Kinsey Institute. She is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Sex Research and conducts research on a number of important sexual health topics. Some of the specific areas we explore in this show include: Why do discussions about safer sex almost always leave oral sex out of the equation? Oral sex is often thought of as a low- or no-risk activity, but is that really the case? How come dental dams never really caught on? How does Lorals offer something different compared to other barrier methods? How can we help people to maximize both pleasure and safety during sexual activity? The Kinsey Institute is where the world turns to understand sex and relationships. Now, you can help continue its expert-led research. This month, the Match Group is offering an incredible 2:1 match for all gifts to the Kinsey Institute Research Fund.
