In this week's episode, we reflect on Olympic moments, flexibility in training, and navigating new seasons with intention. We start with thoughts on the Olympics—from the power of confidence and sportsmanship to the external validation trap and what high-level achievement really represents. Elena shares her “3 Gs” framework for flexibility (grounding, goals, gauge), how she's embracing cross-country skiing this winter, and why focusing on process over outcome is essential. We then dive into systems for modifying workouts, including practical red/yellow/green light frameworks to reduce decision fatigue and adapt to life stress. Katie expands on intentionality in training—especially postpartum—where the purpose of workouts has shifted toward mental health, recovery, and sustainability rather than performance. We close with honest reflections on early postpartum realities as an athlete, fueling demands, sleep deprivation, and building support systems to navigate this phase.

We're kicking off a new series of discussions with CEO's of companies that are putting AI to work to tackle complex problems. Sean Kelly of Amperon joins host Eric Hanselman to dig into how they're using AI for energy grid forecasting. The combination of weather, changes in generation capacity with renewables, and now increased data center demand is making forecasting a critical requirement for grid stability, as well as energy trading. While this might have been a problem that could be tackled with spreadsheets back in the day, scope and scale of the problem has grown to a size that is outstripping traditional methods. AI-based approaches can scale, but there are challenges with managing the size of the datasets being used and the computational costs that some models demand. Effective integration of AI into complex problem solving demands not only a deep understanding of the problem space, but also innovation in sourcing data and scaling its applications. The payoff can be much faster results with greater perspective depth. But that requires investment in automation and careful engineering to get there.  More S&P Global Content: Look Forward Journal: Geopolitics of data centers Next in Tech | Ep. 209: Datacenters and Energy Markets in Europe For S&P Global Subscribers: 2026 Trends in Data, AI & Analytics Revamped US energy strategy — meeting AI-driven data center demand amid shifting geopolitics 2026 US Data Centers and Energy Report Highlights from Enlit Europe 2025: Flexibility, visibility and digital energy Credits: Host/Author: Eric Hanselman Guest: Sean Kelly, CEO, Amperon Producer/Editor: Feranmi Adeoshun Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Kyra Smith

Dhruva and I explore both sides of the debate, starting with the case for fully remote organizations. Remote work expands the talent pool beyond geography, allowing companies to access exceptional people wherever they live. It can reduce bias linked to physical presence and office politics, and it often enables deeper focus without constant interruption. Asynchronous communication can sharpen thinking, improve documentation, and create clearer decision trails. Flexibility can also preserve energy and prevent burnout, which is critical for sustaining long term elite performance.From there, we examine the counterargument. Elite performance cultures often rely on talent opportunity bridging, where proximity accelerates access to stretch roles, mentorship, and high visibility work. Informal trust networks can move faster than formal systems. Serendipity matters, and non work conversations frequently spark breakthrough ideas. When solving difficult problems, reduced lag time and rapid back and forth can compound into a meaningful advantage. Work has historically created strong social bonds as well, from industry towns to innovation hubs, where shared space reinforced shared ambition.We unpack whether elite cultures are built on flexibility and design or on density and shared presence, and what fully remote companies must do if they want to maintain exceptional standards rather than drift toward average.

What does it look like to coach teachers with humanity, curiosity, and care—especially in today's demanding educational landscape? In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay welcomes back Dr. Jacobē Bell to explore what it truly means to take a humanizing approach to instructional coaching. Drawing on her experience coaching instructional coaches across multiple contexts, Dr. Bell shares practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real coaching moments that help educators grow while protecting their wellbeing. This conversation is part of a mini-series focused on supporting instructional coaches, particularly those who step into the role without formal preparation and are learning "by fire." What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways  Humanizing Coaching Coaching is not just about instruction—it's also about emotional awareness, wellness, and meeting educators where they are. Coaches can balance accountability with care by centering teachers as co-producers of knowledge. Afrofuturism, Freedom Dreaming & Coaching Dr. Bell connects Afrofuturism to instructional coaching by imagining a future where educators experience wellness, contentment, and sustainability. A powerful vision: coaching that empowers educators without burning them out. Mindset Shifts from Teacher to Coach Moving from classroom teaching to coaching requires seeing the whole system, not just individual practice. Coaches must navigate adult belief systems, values about students, and differing perspectives—often without making everyone happy. Micro-Modeling as a Coaching Strategy Instead of modeling an entire lesson, Dr. Bell advocates for micro-modeling: Coaches model a short instructional move Teachers immediately practice it with students Coaches give real-time feedback This approach helps shift beliefs about student ability and leads to immediate, tangible growth. Surfacing Beliefs with Curiosity Strategies for navigating hard conversations: Reflecting teachers' words back to them Asking open, curiosity-driven questions Lowering defensiveness by naming uncertainty or even "blaming" your coaching Assuming best intentions opens the door to vulnerability and growth. Live Coaching with Care Live coaching can include gently interrupting or questioning moments of instruction—but only after trust and norms are established. Asking teachers how they prefer to be coached is a critical first step. Authenticity Over One-Size-Fits-All There is no single "right" way to coach. Effective coaching grows from authenticity, relationships, and listening—not rigid formulas. Sustainability & Change Management Dr. Bell shares her current learning focus on sustaining change in schools over time. Sustainable improvement requires planning for longevity from day one—not just short-term wins.

Energetika se mění směrem, na němž mohou vydělat domácnosti i firmy. Rozdíl v tom, kdy je elektřina spotřebována a kdy vyrobena, je mnohdy složité uřídit, a to i kvůli narůstajícímu podílu obnovitelných zdrojů energie, jejichž výroba je závislá především na počasí. Proto síť potřebuje tzv. flexibilitu, která ji pomáhá uvádět do rovnováhy. Lidé v praxi nechají specializovanou firmu ovládat svůj bojler a dostanou za to zaplaceno. Flexibility využívají tisíce domácností, přesto je Česko pozadu. „V distribuci chytrých měření jsme poslední v Evropě,“ říká Jan Hicl z firmy Delta Green. Agenda.

Ryan dives deep into the Packers' salary cap situation, rolling up his sleeves with Spotrac's roster tool to map out Green Bay's 2026 financial picture move by move. The results? A lot more encouraging than the clickbait headlines suggest. The episode walks through major roster decisions including the frustrating Aaron Banks situation and his absurd $25 million cap hit, the tough but necessary release of Elton Jenkins, and a creative Josh Jacobs extension that buys flexibility now while setting up an exit later. Ryan also projects contract extensions for Christian Watson ($27M/year) and Tucker Craft ($16M/year), re-signs key free agents like Quay Walker, Kingsley Enagbare, and Emmanuel Wilson, and lands the roster at a healthy $23 million in cap space. Ryan also dismantles a widely-shared Yahoo Sports article ranking the Packers 25th in cap flexibility, explaining why "simple restructure capacity" is a nearly useless metric that tells fans almost nothing about actual financial health. The bigger takeaway: the NFL's ballooning salary cap is changing free agency forever, and smart teams should invest in the draft and trades rather than overpaying in a bloated market.

"It assumes everyone has the same body but no two people are going to perform both of those movements the same way, and it's not going to load the same way." "I start the majority of people with a box squat, because the way I think about a hinge is it's different from a squat because the hips are going to be moving more along that horizontal path." "It's way more useful to think, am I moving up and down? Am I moving side to side? And then just pick exercises within what a person has available." "If someone can't produce certain rotations, and I know that you need those rotations to do this movement, you probably got to find something else to train that pattern within their constraints." "You just have to find the hinge variation that they can execute. And if they don't have much to do that, you have to create constraints."

In this Q+A episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we're tackling real-life fitness questions from busy moms and lifters trying to make progress without perfect conditions. We dive into practical macro tracking strategies for moms who don't have time to weigh every gram, how to find motivation postpartum when routines feel impossible, and simple meal ideas that make healthy eating sustainable (yes, yogurt bowls make the list). We also break down workout splits, why flexibility in your training matters more than perfection, and how small tweaks—like foot positioning on leg curls—can improve muscle activation and results. This episode is about adapting your fitness approach to your current season of life. Whether you're navigating postpartum recovery, juggling kids and career, or just trying to stay consistent without burning out, we'll help you simplify the process and focus on what actually moves the needle. As always, progress isn't built in one big moment—it's built in the small decisions you repeat consistently.

In this detailed conversation, Alex Harvey discusses his recent impressive half marathon in Japan, the skepticism around his progression, and his transparent use of Strava to share his full training. Alex breaks down his early marathon times and steady improvement through consistent training. He covers marathon challenges (fueling and getting intensity right), how business and family life fits around training, and his aspirations heading into Tokyo Marathon. He also shares why racing without a strict time goal can be valuable, plus how context-specific training has helped him progress. We also get into his preference for training alone, keeping training efficient, and his approach to diet - along with why he largely avoids strength training and cross training.

In this latest OIES podcast, from the Gas Programme, James Henderson talks to Katja Yafimava about her recent paper on the updated EU regulation covering gas storage.

In this conversation recorded at PTC Hawaii, JLL's Kristen Vosmaer and InfraPartners' George Teodorescu break down what is really separating winners from the rest in the AI data centre boom. Key takeaways: Time to first token = time to revenue. The faster a data centre goes live, the faster investors see returns - making speed a core financial metric. Power is the new battleground. Projects now live or die on energy access, with behind-the-meter generation, gas and even future nuclear options entering the mix. Capital is getting smarter - and more involved. Investors are moving from passive funding to hands-on strategic roles across the value chain. Off-site manufacturing is changing the game. Prefabrication cuts risk, labour pressure and delays, while improving cost certainty. Flexibility beats longevity. The era of 15-year static data centres is over, infrastructure must be modular, upgradeable and ready for rapid AI cycles. Partnerships are critical. No single player can deliver speed, power, funding and expertise alone. The biggest risks ahead? Monetising AI at scale, keeping up with power demand, and earning public trust as data centres become more visible - and political. Bottom line: In the AI era, success goes to those who can secure power, deploy fast, structure capital creatively, and turn infrastructure into revenue, quickly. Subscribe for more insight on the future of digital infrastructure.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram explore the prevalence and underlying causes of knee issues, from popping and noisy knees to everyday pain and osteoarthritis. The knee is not just a simple hinge, and Katy explains its anatomy using a helpful “cube” model that includes bones, ligaments, cartilage, and the meniscus. Together, they clarify the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and examine how movement patterns influence the forces and loads placed across the knee joint. Katy and Jeannette share practical strategies for changing knee loading through gait retraining, along with tools to improve muscle strength, stability, and proprioception to help protect ligaments and cartilage. They also discuss why women tend to experience more knee problems due to hormonal and biomechanical factors, and why prehab and post-surgery exercise training play a critical role in achieving better outcomes after knee surgery.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript 00:00 Introduction: The prevalence of knee issues and arthritis 02:00 Why movement and position matter for knee health 04:08 Sponsors: The Dynamic Collective 05:58 The knee as a “cube,” not just a hinge 10:58 Ligaments vs muscles: Why ligaments are seat belts, not brakes 14:20 Cartilage and the knee meniscus: Function and damage 18:00 Changing movement patterns for knee pain: Gait retraining 24:21 Noisy knees explained 26:22 Knee instability: Strength, proprioception, and hypermobility 33:07 Listener question: Why do women have more knee issues?

Send a textBuilding Financial Flexibility Beyond Retirement AccountsIn this episode of 'The Retire Early Retire Now' podcast, Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner and founder of Palm Valley Wealth Management, discusses the often-overlooked concept of financial flexibility outside retirement accounts. He explores the pitfalls that high-income earners face when all their wealth is locked up in inaccessible retirement accounts, stressing the importance of flexible funds for life's unplanned changes. Hunter delves into reasons why building financial flexibility is challenging, such as lack of incentives, emotional resistance, and the delayed validation of non-retirement savings. He introduces the three-bucket framework: spending for today, saving for retirement, and flexibility for life transitions. Practical advice is given on how to start building a flexibility bucket, including mindset shifts and gradual, consistent investment strategies. Listeners are encouraged to evaluate their financial plans to ensure a balance between long-term security and real-life optionality.00:00 Introduction to Financial Flexibility00:47 The Trap of Inaccessible Wealth01:58 Why Retirement Accounts Dominate03:34 The Importance of Financial Flexibility04:58 Challenges in Building Flexibility08:11 The Three Bucket Framework09:31 Mindset Shifts for Flexibility13:38 Self-Check and ConclusionCheck out the Palm Valley Wealth Management WebsitePalmValleywm.comCheck us out on InstagramLinkedIn FacebookListen to the Podcast Here!

Building A Boutique Events Agency As A MomA single decision can change the way you work, parent, and lead. When Sarah realized staying in a comfortable role was dimming her optimism, she chose the unknown—and co-founded The Parts Department, a boutique events agency designed for impact, not bloat. We get candid about what it really takes to build a modern experiential marketing shop, from value-first delivery to relationship-led growth and the courage required to quit without a safety net.I loved hearing how Sarah's career at Periscope and Advocate shaped her point of view on events: people love brands that love them back. That belief anchors their niche—high-touch experiential strategies that actually move the needle. We unpack their two modes of working—embedding with teams on retainer or owning projects end to end—and why a lean model beats the old habit of filling rooms with extra bodies. You'll also hear the realities of client outreach on LinkedIn, using relevance over hard sell, and why most early wins come from trust that's been earned over years.There's a deeply human thread here, too. The London chapter—navigating a foreign city with a one- and two-year-old—reshaped how Sarah thinks about fulfillment. She talks about “buckets” that need filling: work, motherhood, movement, community. Flexibility isn't a perk; it's a system. A 9:45 a.m. Friday hockey game becomes proof that work can bend around life when partners trust each other. And yes, we talk about women leading in an industry that once looked like Mad Men, and how kindness as a business practice never goes out of style.If you're building a brand, leading marketing, or figuring out your next bold move, this conversation offers practical playbooks and real encouragement.

Flexibility has a branding problem.In Episode 3 of Return to Office, Nicole North and Paula Manolakakis unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in today's workplace: flexibility.Many leaders worry that flexibility means chaos, lower standards, or loss of accountability. Employees, on the other hand, experience the opposite problem: unclear boundaries, “always on” expectations, and burnout disguised as autonomy.This episode explores how flexibility and boundaries actually work together to protect energy, motivation, and trust during return to office.We talk about:Why boundaries are essential for performance, not a barrier to itThe difference between flexibility and inconsistencyHow “always available” cultures quietly drive burnoutWhat healthy flexibility actually looks like in practiceThis conversation is for leaders who want to offer autonomy without losing accountability, and for teams trying to navigate new expectations without burning out.Because flexibility without boundaries isn't empowering, it's exhausting.

In this episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, Phillip Ramsey dives into the integral part of business success that many overlook—tracking and analyzing business numbers. Phillip opens the episode with insights into how too many entrepreneurs shy away from the seemingly mundane yet essential task of understanding their business metrics. With a background rooted in disciplined financial practices from his pharmaceutical days under mentor Mark Johnson, Phillip illustrates the power of routine number tracking.The episode sheds light on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a transformational framework for business management praised by Phillip. He shares his personal journey of utilizing this system to keep tabs on key financial metrics such as revenue and expenses. SEO keywords peppered through the discussion include "business metrics," "financial tracking," and "Entrepreneurial Operating System," underscoring their importance in pursuing a unique business path. Phillip emphasizes the value of consistent number tracking, noting its critical role in informed business decisions, especially during pivotal moments such as buying out a business partner and navigating financial rebuilding.Key Takeaways: Importance of Routine: Establishing a consistent routine for tracking financial metrics can simplify year-end processes and strategic planning. Key Metrics: Identifying and tracking essential business metrics, like revenue and expenses, help in making informed business decisions. EOS Framework: The Entrepreneurial Operating System helps businesses streamline operations by focusing on core metrics and long-term vision. Joy in the Journey: The process and daily operations of tracking and understanding numbers bring satisfaction and sustainability, beyond the end results. Flexibility and Reflection: Regularly reviewing tracked data provides insights into past challenges and triumphs, allowing for strategic realignment and growth.Notable Quotes: "At the end of the day, this has been a learned behavior for me as I look back at my whole career path." - Phillip Ramsey "The greatest part about this that Mark knew is if we continued to do it monthly and did it well, it would develop a routine." - Phillip Ramsey "The best time to plant a tree was yesterday. The second best is today." - Phillip Ramsey "Numbers tell a story if you can read them." - Phillip Ramsey

In this episode, Coach JK breaks down an internal struggle most people feel but rarely name: wanting more flexibility while resisting the structure that actually creates it.Using exercise as the main lens, JK explains why true flexibility isn't about doing everything whenever you feel like it...it's built by committing to a simple structure first, then earning the freedom to adapt, pivot, and explore without drifting.If you've been bouncing between workouts, goals, or routines and calling it “flexibility,” this episode offers a grounded reset. ----Instagram: @coachJKmcleodEmail: JK@jkmcleod.com

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, our host welcomes Dr. Andrew Wilner to discuss his extensive career in medicine, detailing his certifications in internal medicine, neurology, and epilepsy. Dr. Wilner shares his multifaceted journey, from starting as an ER doctor without formal training to becoming a professor of neurology. He delves into the evolution of the internship model and offers advice for medical students in career decision-making. Dr. Wilner also elaborates on the locum tenens lifestyle, discussing the challenges and benefits, including the necessary preparation and mindset for success. Additionally, he highlights his experiences in academic roles, private practice, and as a medical journalist. The conversation concludes with insights into Dr. Wilner's book, 'The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens,' and his podcast, 'The Art of Medicine,' featuring stories of physicians pursuing unique medical careers. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Flexibility is Essential for Locums Success: Locums work requires adaptability in every aspect - assignments can be canceled last minute, you'll work in unfamiliar systems, and conditions are often less than ideal. The ability to be flexible and resourceful is more important than clinical skills alone. Prepare Thoroughly Before Each Assignment: Arrive 2 days early to handle logistics: learn the EMR system (demand paid training), scout parking and accommodations, get credentialing done, and eliminate uncertainties. This preparation reduces stress and lets you focus on patient care when the assignment starts. Locums Prevents Burnout and Maintains Career Options: Working locums (even part-time) keeps you clinically active, resets credentialing clocks, and provides control over your schedule. Many burned-out physicians rediscover their love of medicine through locums by working on their own terms (7-9 months/year) rather than leaving clinical practice entirely. Meet Dr. Andrew Wilner: Dr. Wilner has worked locum tenens on and off since 1982 and is the author of "The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens." Dr. Wilner is Professor of Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee, and host and producer of the Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner podcast since 2020. Dr. Wilner is a PADI Divemaster and passionate underwater photographer. Connect with Dr. Andrew Wilner:

Ever notice how being underestimated can light a fire under you? Too young. Too old. Not the right look. The wrong box. It's frustrating. And it's also fuel, if you know how to use it. In this episode, I sat down with Trevor Storm, a student entrepreneur running Media Wolf Marketing while earning his finance degree at Butler University. Yes, you read that right. And no, he's not waiting for permission. We talked about what happens when clients look at you sideways and wonder if you can really do the job. Spoiler alert. That doubt can work in your favor. Here are a few moments that stuck with me. Say yes, then earn it. Trevor's mindset is simple. Say yes to the opportunity, then do the work to make that yes pay off. Not reckless, just confident enough to learn fast and own the outcome. Use what they doubt as your advantage. Youth. Flexibility. Fewer layers. Trevor reframes all of it. More time. More focus. More care. When clients are your whole world, they feel it. The magic lives in the final 5 percent. Anyone can start strong. Credibility shows up in the follow through. The details. The batteries charged. The checklist signed off. That last little bit is where trust is built. If you've ever worried that you don't look experienced enough or polished enough, this conversation is a reminder that credibility isn't about age or titles. It's about showing up, doing the work, and finishing strong. Sometimes the best way to prove them wrong is to simply do the job better than anyone expects.

Excellence isn't a personality trait or a hustle tactic. It's a way of becoming. And in a culture driven by distraction, convenience, and external validation, genuine excellence is quietly eroding. What replaces it looks productive but feels hollow, leaving many people burned out, scattered, or chasing intensity instead of depth. This week on Win Today, Brad Stulberg joins me to recover a truer vision of excellence—one rooted in biology, values, focus, and formation. We explore why rugged flexibility matters more than rigid discipline, how to curate your inputs so your attention serves what matters most, and why there are actually two different kinds of burnout. This conversation reframes excellence not as achievement alone, but as a deeply human process of becoming aligned, durable, and alive. If you're tired of pseudo-excellence, dopamine-driven ambition, or burnout disguised as growth, this episode will help you reorient toward a better path—one that connects mastery with meaning and performance with purpose. Guest Bio Brad Stulberg is an author, coach, and researcher focused on excellence, sustainable performance, and human flourishing. He has written multiple best-selling books exploring the intersection of science, philosophy, and practice, and his work is widely recognized for helping individuals and organizations pursue growth without burnout. Brad's writing and teaching challenge hustle culture while offering a grounded, humane path toward mastery, resilience, and meaningful achievement.

Dr. David Eagleman, PhD, is a neuroscientist, bestselling author and professor at Stanford University. We discuss how to leverage the science of neuroplasticity to learn new skills and information and how accurate and false memories form and are forgotten. We also discuss time perception and why it speeds up or slows down depending on our age and stress level. We cover dreaming and the meaning of visual and other dream content. And we discuss the neuroscience of cultural and political polarization and how to remedy it. This episode provides science-based knowledge and practical tools you can use to enhance learning and better understand your experience of life in the past, present and future.
