Flipping Summer madness!!! Yeah it feels like this holiday has gone on for months already. We took in a bit of Cornwall and caught up with the UK family. Cornwall was a very wise choice as it has a microclimate that allowed a little escape from the insanity that London heatwave. You know what? I did a pretty good job of disappearing completely albeit without a full phone detox. I feel that might be needed soon. Someone threw out a stat that we only have 300 months of free time in our lives. Best not to spend all of that on the phone. Im such a sad addict at this point it's not funny. Anyhow that's beside the point. Back in the bubble of the music space, I made a little computer only setup in my space to see if I can't use it to focus on a different kind of making and perhaps even the FINISHING? Lets see. I go on about that a lot in the intro so I'll not linger on that now. Needless to say I wish you all fulfillment and success however that looks to you. This episode is with the excellent Nicholas Semrad. He's aheady had many a musical life. You may have seen him playing alongside Cory Henry, Lauryn Hill or Mark Guiliana. You may know him as a patch maker for Sequential or Yamaha. Perhaps you know him for his film and TV work. He's highly accomplished and a touring beast. Currently he's slathering on the make up on a 6 month Empire of the Sun gig. He's a total beast and yet a wonderfully humble and chill individual. Ive had micro hangs with him before on the road but never a long form one on one until now. So it's a treat to have the chance. Give it up for for Mr Semrad!!!

As summer begins to wind down, it's easy to feel the pressure to squeeze in one more trip, one more adventure, or one more item on your bucket list.But what if the most meaningful moments of your summer have nothing to do with checking another box?In this episode, I'm sharing five simple invitations to help you finish the season with more joy, more peace, and more intention.We'll talk about: Doing one thing you've been excited about Giving yourself permission to truly rest Finishing one task that's been weighing on you Letting go of one source of stress Creating one memory you'll carry into the next seasonBecause maybe the best way to end summer isn't by doing more...It's by slowing down enough to enjoy what's still here.

Julie grew up in a sports-obsessed family, her dad a longtime Broad Street runner, her brother a former D1 lacrosse player turned distance runner. She played soccer growing up, but sports also came with real anxiety for her, and by college she thought that part of her life was over. It wasn't until her senior year of college that she started easing back into running, and she found herself thinking if her dad and brother could run a marathon, she could too.Philly had already sold out by the time she looked into it, so Julie signed up through a Parkinson's fundraising team inspired by her grandfather and started an 18 week training block while in her second year of medical school. Race day started strong, but somewhere around the halfway point, Julie hit a wall she wasn't expecting, and was forced to make a decision many of us make in a marathon: Do I keep going? Follow along with Julie:Instagram: @juliemsatterthwaite TikTok: @jms3400 Follow along with the show:

NCG Golf Podcast host Steve Carroll is back at Royal Birkdale, and is joined by Matt Chivers in the media centre at The Open, and there has been quite the action in round two. The men's major scoring record has been equalled twice, and there was rangefinder rules confusion amongst all of that.   Steve has also been out on the 18th hole to analyse what makes it so incredible. Bob MacIntyre didn't speak glowingly about it, but Matt Wallace said it's the best finishing hole on The Open Rota. Steve and Matt get into this, plus a whole lot more on day two of The Open.

I can start and even build momentum, but real success comes from finishing what I begin. When the excitement fades and the work becomes routine, I stay disciplined and keep going under pressure. I don't let the process stop before the finish because that's where the real results happen. Finishing what I start is what breaks the cycle and moves me forward. Show Notes: [05:21]#1 People lose interest once the excitement is gone. [12:34]#2 People do not define what finish means. [20:43]#3 There is no consequence for incomplete work. [24:43] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment.

On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Dr. Tayler Onion—host of the Hang Time podcast, professor at UMSL, former Division I volleyball player, and advocate for women in sports—to discuss one of the fastest-growing movements in athletics today.Tayler shares her journey from growing up on a small farm in rural Illinois to competing at the University of Illinois, earning her doctorate studying women in sports leadership, and launching Hang Time, a podcast dedicated to telling the stories of women who are changing the sports industry. She reflects on the unexpected story behind becoming the Outback Bowl's famous "Bloomin' Onion" mascot, how that experience inspired her first podcast, and why she ultimately rebranded to focus exclusively on women's sports.The conversation explores the incredible rise of women's athletics, the lasting impact of Title IX, why representation in coaching and leadership matters, and how media coverage, fandom, and athlete-driven storytelling are creating opportunities that didn't exist just a few years ago. Tayler also shares her vision for building a stronger community for women working in sports throughout St. Louis, the lessons she's learned as both an athlete and educator, and why she believes the city is ready for even more investment in women's professional sports.From unforgettable championship moments to the future of sports media, this episode is an inspiring conversation about leadership, community, and the people helping shape the next generation of sports.They discuss: - Growing up on a farm in Industry, Illinois, and playing volleyball at the University of Illinois - Winning the "Be the Bloom" contest and becoming the Bloom and Onion mascot at the 2019 Outback Bowl - Launching the Bloom Pod during the pandemic and its focus on everyday people with big ideas - Finishing a doctorate on women's self-perception of power in sports leadership during Title IX's 50th anniversary - The decision to rebrand and relaunch as Hangtime, focused solely on women in sports - Interviewing ESPNW founder Laura Gentile and what it took to build a media category from scratch - The Deloitte projection of $3 billion in women's sports revenue for 2026 - Why traditional brands still don't know how to market to women's sports fans - Growing up without girls' sports and finding a North Star in local player Sam Quiggle - The 1999 U.S. Women's World Cup and Brandi Chastain as formative childhood moments - Reaching the national championship match with Illinois volleyball in 2011 - Teaching in UMSL's Sports Management program and getting students into the Super Bowl, Final Four, and NFL Draft - Hangtime's first in-person event at Urban Chestnut and the upcoming membership launch on August 1st - Bringing more pro women's sports — WNBA, NWSL, PWHL — to St. LouisSupport the show

Last year, the Gallup organization released the results of their latest American Values Index. Respondents were given a list of twenty-three values and were asked to choose all of those values that were important to them. Finishing at the top of the list were family, with forty nine percent placing that as most important, and Freedom, with thirty-percent placing that at number one. Rounding out the top ten in this order following family and freedom, were health, integrity, faith, trustworthiness, happiness, respect, kindness, and knowledge. It's encouraging to see these results. The key, however, to bearing fruit from these values is that we choose to prioritize and functionally live out the values we say that we hold. As Christians, we know the family is a creational institution, established by God, as one male and one female enter into a covenantal marriage, then bearing the fruit of children. Parents, spend time with your kids, and diligently nurture them in the faith.

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Severed from Christ, Mormon God, Finishing Cyril's Confession Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2026 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 7/9/2026 Length: 61 min.

Episode Description What happens in the dark hours before sunrise on day two, when your body starts asking what exactly you are doing out here?   Justin Smith teaches high school in Santa Cruz, California, where his classroom is a working  bike shop. By day he runs a Career Tech Ed program through Project Bike Tech, teaching teenagers to fix bikes, build resumes, and solve real problems with their own hands. On his own time, he is an ultra-endurance athlete who has finished the 2,700-mile Tour Divide from Banff, Canada to the Mexico border in 16 days straight, raced the Fiji Eco-Challenge with Team Curl, competed at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, and returned three times to a 60-hour swimrun across the Swedish archipelago.   In this conversation, Justin takes Josh inside the pain cave and the mental game of multi-day  racing: the dark hours before sunrise on day two, the difference between the front country and the back country, and why the body only truly comes alive on the second night. He explains how a psychology degree and Outward Bound canoe trips led to a life built around adventure, why he and his wife once lived in a tiny house they built on television, and how putting himself in hard situations makes him a better dad, husband, and teacher.   They also talk about the people. From trail angels on the Pacific Crest Trail to a septic-truck  driver in Southern California, Justin keeps returning to the connections that outlast the miles. Most of all, this is a story about a simple idea he repeats to his students and his daughter: a ship is safe in its harbor, but that is not what ships were built for, and the more you do hard things, the more you realize hard things are worth doing.   Episode Highlights • 00:00 Meet Justin Smith: high school teacher by day, ultra-endurance adventurer on his own time • 02:00 The bike shop classroom and the Project Bike Tech program in Santa Cruz • 08:00 Building a tiny house on the TV show Tiny House Nation • 14:00 The permission slip to not conform, and choosing the hard path on purpose • 16:00 Comfort is what gets sold to us, but hard things are what move the needle • 19:00 Meeting Roy Malone at the 2019 Fiji Eco-Challenge with Team Curl • 20:00 The One Water swimrun across the Swedish archipelago, attempted three times • 26:00 The Stagecoach 400 and sleeping on McDonald's cardboard with no sleeping bag • 31:00 Courtney Dauwalter's pain cave, and learning to redecorate it instead of fighting it • 38:00 Finishing the 2,700-mile Tour Divide in 16 days, from Banff to the Mexico border • 43:00 The Pacific Crest Trail, meeting his wife, and hiking through grief in 2009 • 55:00 Orienteering, gut instinct, and trusting intuition when the map runs out • 01:04:00 A ship is safe in its harbor, but that is not what ships are built for • 01:12:00 The mantra: if you can't get out of it, get into it, and find a way About Justin Smith Justin Smith is a high school Career Tech Ed teacher in Santa Cruz, California, where he leads a bike shop program through Project Bike Tech, and a lifelong endurance athlete and adventurer. A former NCAA swimmer, he has finished the Tour Divide, raced the Fiji Eco-Challenge and multiple expedition-style adventure races, competed at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, and thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail.

Rather than asking how AI can help produce more books faster, he explores how AI can unlock entirely new ways for audiences to experience stories through interactive apps, games, codices, workbooks, and other formats that previously required large development teams.That leads into a larger discussion about permission.Neither traditional publishing nor modern technology determines what creators are “allowed” to make anymore. The only real limitations are imagination, willingness to experiment, and understanding the business realities behind each creative decision.The episode also explores one of the most important concepts for building a sustainable creative career:Every creative goal is built from dozens of smaller skills.Whether someone wants to become a podcaster, novelist, filmmaker, or entrepreneur, success isn't about mastering one discipline. It's about gradually stacking complementary skills until seemingly unrelated experiences suddenly converge years later into a career that feels inevitable in hindsight.Throughout the conversation, Lee explains how she coaches authors by breaking seemingly impossible goals into measurable component skills, while Russell emphasizes that many creators fail simply because they confuse different goals, like “finishing a book” versus “writing the perfect book.”The discussion continues into branding, genre, audience expectations, marketing strategy, commercial fiction versus literary fiction, and why understanding your actual goals matters far more than copying someone else's career.By the end, the conversation becomes less about books and more about designing an entire creative life around what genuinely energizes you instead of chasing someone else's definition of success.Topics Covered:* ADHD, body doubling, and productivity through co-working* Live TikTok writing sprints* Building creative momentum through accountability* Why the AI debate has become less interesting than AI's unexplored possibilities* Using AI to create interactive fiction experiences* Games, apps, codices, and alternative storytelling formats* Moving beyond simply writing more books* Escaping the “book-a-month” mindset* Delivering a consistent brand promise* Lessons from Colleen Hoover and her readership* Brand consistency versus creative freedom* Why audiences buy feelings, not formats* Permissionless creativity in the modern publishing world* Teaching yourself instead of waiting for gatekeepers* Everything changes, but nothing is wasted creatively* How unrelated skills compound over time* Why every creative pursuit strengthens future work* The hidden skill tree behind creative careers* Breaking large goals into measurable subskills* Diagnosing bottlenecks in an author's business* Identifying obvious versus non-obvious constraints* Marketing, branding, writing, and sales as separate skills* Goal clarity versus perfectionism* Finishing a book versus endlessly rewriting it* Coaching authors through creative paralysis* Living in the energy of the solution instead of the problem* Chapter-by-chapter developmental editing* Making stories “hookier” without sacrificing quality* Scene goals and narrative momentum* Book marketing bootcamps and implementation coaching* The five marketing levers:* Cover* Description* Audience* Ad creative* Ad copy* Improving conversion instead of increasing production* Hiring coaches to solve specific problems* Defining what “good” actually means* Literary fiction versus commercial fiction* Hook-driven storytelling* Character goals as reader engagement* Matching writing style to audience expectations* Understanding market size versus artistic goals* Commercial realities of genre fiction* Fantasy, romance, literary fiction, YA, and niche genres* Building businesses around niche audiences* Total addressable market* Choosing creative constraints intentionally* Dense fiction versus highly consumable fiction* Writing beautiful prose without sacrificing readability* Generating traffic versus improving conversion* Lessons from James Clear and Atomic Habits* Creating highly shareable nonfiction* The difference between broad-market products and niche products* Serving a small but passionate audience* Designing a creative life around personal values* Investing versus relying solely on book income* Aligning business models with lifestyle goals* Accepting tradeoffs instead of chasing impossible comparisons* Building a career that fits your definition of success This is a public episode.

TJ Johnson and Gerald Glassford bring the video game topics to task as the Fourth of July weekend rolls in. Tune in as the guys discuss the behemoth known as Grand Theft Auto 6, as the mass hysteria over the decade's biggest game begins in earnest, with pre-orders being made available for the upcoming November hit. They also discuss the continued problems with XBOX as the cloud of studio closures is now hovering heavily over Microsoft's gaming brand. PlayStation has its own issues; it discusses massive layoffs for Destiny/Marathon developer Bungie. They discuss Valve's Steam Machine and whether this home gaming device is truly needed, especially at the price point being asked (even before eBay). Finishing off the conversation is a talk on the recent EVO 2026 and how the push for E-Sports into a larger discussion earlier in the decade never crossed into mass public acceptance.

Finishing off our consensus rankings with players 19-24 in PPR leagues! Adam starts the show with some water cooler stats (4:22) including Trey McBride TDs, Kenneth Walker rec/game, & Saquon Barkley's elite seasons. After some news and notes (18:12), the FFT crew jumps into the rankings with Chiefs teammates Rashee Rice & Kenneth Walker (20:30). Will Walker improve the KC run game and how does that impact Rice in 2026? We compare Saquon Barkley to Derrick Henry (32:12), is there value in each experienced RB in round 2? Later, the guys talk Nico Collins (39:38) and how he is underrated among fantasy managers. The show finishes up with Brock Bowers & Trey McBride (52:12). We talk the right time to select a TE in your 2026 drafts, and if McBride can replicate his dominant 2025 season.Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcastsWatch FFT on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SUBSCRIBE to FFT Dynasty on Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW FFT Dynasty on Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/2aHlmMJw1m8FareKybdNfG?si=8487e2f9611b4438&nd=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Bill Roggio highlights that the ceasefire is a return to the status quo from February. He argues that the military was restrained from finishing the job and doubts the Iranian people's willingness to overthrow the regime. Meanwhile, Hezbollah remains active in southern Lebanon. (2)1903
