In this episode, I sit down with former Canadian National Team setter and Olympian Brett Walsh (@Brettjwalsh) to break down the key skills that separate good setters from great ones. We dive into setter footwork, hand positioning, jump setting, and the importance of transferring energy efficiently through the body. Brett also shares his thoughts on developing decision-making, reading the game, creating offensive advantages, and helping setters become more than just ball distributors. Topics in this episode include:  One-foot vs. two-foot setter footwork Hand positioning and ball contact Jump setting mechanics Setter decision-making  Training the setter position  Vision and reading the game How setters can dictate the flow of a match rather than simply set the ball  Check out his setter academy on IG @precisionvolleyballacademy Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com  Click here to join my workshop - volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB

Arsenal arrive at match 37 knowing only a win will do. Two points clear, two games left, one goal behind on goal difference — the context is everything. Gavin, Elliot, and Justin open by unpacking a lineup that raises as many questions as it answers. Havertz up top, Eze and Ødegaard in midfield together, Cristhian Mosquera at right back — it's a selection with ambition baked in, but the balance debate starts immediately.The first half is where the episode lives longest. Arsenal are dominant, chances arrive, and the hosts walk through a sequence of missed opportunities and near-misses that paint a picture of a side that should have been out of sight. Then comes the moment that defines the conversation around officiating — a foul on Saka that every player on the pitch apparently recognises, waved away, and left alone by VAR. The hosts don't let it go quickly, and nor should they.The goal, when it comes, is a set piece. Saka's delivery, Havertz rising, and a celebration that starts before the ball lands. A moment of clarity in an episode full of tension.The second half shifts the texture of the review. A Havertz challenge on Lesley Ugochukwu dominates the discussion — studs down, no force, the ref waves it on, VAR stays silent. The hosts are divided on whether fortune or officiating is the bigger factor, and the broader conversation about how referees and VAR interact becomes one of the episode's most structured debates. Two significant calls in one game, both wrong — the mechanics of why get a full airing.Burnley's physical approach and the referee's willingness to allow it runs as a thread throughout, culminating in a wider reckoning with refereeing consistency and the narrative pundits and commentators build around it.After the match is wrapped, the hosts pull back. The stats versus feelings disconnect — a dominant display that felt like a stress test — opens a broader conversation about what this Arsenal side has become, and why each win in the run-in feels harder than it should. From playing to the level of the opposition, to the gradual erosion of freedom in Arsenal's play across three seasons, to whether this is now Arteta's Premier League — the second half of the episode carries real weight.It ends on Palace. One game. Everything still to play for.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Match Review Setup & Title Race Context(01:01) - Lineup Debate: Brave or Unbalanced?(03:39) - Arsenal's Strong Opening & Early Chances(05:55) - The Penalty That Wasn't(09:17) - 1-0 | Havertz Heads Arsenal In Front(10:35) - Half-Time Reflections & First Half Dominance(12:13) - Second Half Chances & Frustrations(13:25) - Havertz Red Card Escape(15:07) - Refereeing Standards & VAR Consistency Debate(22:47) - Burnley Physicality & Game Management(24:14) - A Win, Mosquera's Footwork & Hincapié's Moon(26:10) - Match Stats & Arsenal Control Analysis(27:28) - Pressure, Palace & Title Race Tension(28:35) - Do Arsenal Play To The Level Of The Opposition?(30:29) - The Freedom That's Gradually Gone(34:11) - Is This Arteta's Premier League?(37:39) - Will Arteta Ever Receive Full Credit?(38:45) - Fan Culture & the Emirates Transformation(41:05) - Wenger Era vs Arteta Era Supporter Culture(43:38) - Arteta's Cultural Impact On Arsenal(47:03) - Come On Bournemouth(49:41) - One Game From Glory, Two From History(50:18) - Outro

Um nome que é sinônimo de automobilismo para o Brasil está perto da Fórmula 1. Em poucos anos, mais um Fittipaldi pode estar no grid da categoria. Emmo é o mais jovem piloto da família Fittipaldi, que há décadas se confunde com a história do esporte a motor. Ele é filho de Emerson Fittipaldi, bicampeão mundial de Fórmula 1 (1972/74), duas vezes vencedor das 500 Milhas de Indianápolis (1989/93) e campeão da Indy (1989). Marcio Arruda, da RFI em Paris Aos 19 anos, Emerson Fittipaldi Jr, conhecido como Emmo, acabou de estrear na Fórmula 2, último degrau antes da Fórmula 1. Depois de passar pela Fórmula 4 italiana, pela Regional Europeia, que também é chamada de Freca, e pela Eurocup-3, Emmo contou em entrevista exclusiva à RFI o motivo de ter pulado a Fórmula 3 e ido direto para a Fórmula 2, que é o caminho mais comum entre os pilotos. “A gente teve uma oportunidade muito boa na equipe AIX Racing de poder dar esse pulo grande para a Fórmula 2. A gente sabe que a F2 é um mundo muito pequeno, com apenas 22 carros. Então, não é sempre que você tem um assento para guiar", explicou. Por isso, ele não deixou escapar essa primeira oportunidade que teve e trabalhou muito para estar preparado para esse "grande passo". "Eu fui de um carro com 280 cv (de potência do motor) para quase 700 cv. Então, é muita diferença. De uma categoria para outra, é um grande pulo”, comenta. A temporada 2026 da Fórmula 2 começou na Austrália, no começo do mês passado. Emmo avaliou sua estreia na nova categoria. “A minha corrida em Melbourne foi a minha estreia na Fórmula 2 e também a minha primeira corrida em fim de semana de Fórmula 1. Então, é sempre uma oportunidade legal de estar na mesma pista, horas antes da Fórmula 1", lembrou. Segundo ele, essa foi uma oportunidade de ficar mais perto do sonho, que é a F1. "Minha estreia foi muito positiva porque a gente conseguiu tudo que precisava fazer, da questão de aprendizado até a adaptação ao regulamento da Fórmula 2. Acredito que a cada corrida a gente vai dar passos para a frente e ir melhorando cada vez mais”, disse. Guerra impõe alterações no calendário O piloto brasileiro iria voltar ao cockpit agora em abril, mas a Fórmula 2 cancelou as corridas do Bahrein e da Arábia Saudita por causa da Guerra do Irã. O cancelamento encurtou o calendário e aumentou a distância para a próxima etapa, que agora será em Mônaco, no primeiro fim de semana de junho. Até lá, nada de descanso e foco total no trabalho. “Vai ter um break bem grande entre Melbourne e Mônaco. Sempre entre as corridas, eu faço um trabalho físico e também no simulador. Hoje em dia, existe o simulador e a gente pode andar muito para conhecer as pistas. Aí eu fico andando, andando… até conseguir melhorar o meu tempo. E isso vai me ensinando que não há limite; sempre posso melhorar com o treino”, acredita o jovem piloto. Tendo bons resultados na Fórmula 2, que é o Enem da Fórmula 1, o piloto de 19 anos prevê que em pouco tempo chegará na categoria onde o pai é bicampeão. “Em dois anos, no máximo, teremos algumas notícias. É preciso andar bastante na Fórmula 2 e mostrar que tenho potencial para entrar na Fórmula 1", antecipa. Ele relembra que a família Fittipaldi é uma das maiores no automobilismo. Na Fórmula 1, é até agora "a família que teve mais pilotos", garante. "Se chegarmos a ter cinco (pilotos), aí eu acho que ninguém vai alcançar a nossa família. Ela vai ser, para sempre, a maior família da história da Fórmula 1. Então, eu acho que é fantástico se eu puder alcançar esse meu sonho. O importante, agora, é focar e dar o meu melhor para que, um dia, eu possa estar na F1. Aí eu estarei muito contente”, prevê. Os Fittipaldi sonham em 'fazer a quina' Se realizar o sonho de guiar na F1, Emmo se tornará o quinto Fittipaldi a competir na categoria. Como se diz no esporte, a família vai fazer a quina - fazendo referência ao jogo de loteria. Os quatro que passaram pela F1 são seu pai Emerson, que pilotou para as equipes Lotus, McLaren e Copersucar/Fittipaldi de 1970 a 1980, seu tio Wilsinho, que guiou para Brabham e Copersucar/Fittipaldi entre 1972 e 1975, seu primo Christian, que foi piloto da Minardi e da Footwork de 1992 a 1994, e seu sobrinho Pietro, que competiu pela Haas em dois Grandes Prêmios em 2020. Leia tambémEmerson Fittipaldi é homenageado em circuito francês que já recebeu a Fórmula 1 Com DNA da velocidade, Emmo revelou o assunto que é sempre conversado em família. “É sempre muito divertido estar com meus familiares. Não tem nenhum lugar que a gente esteja que a gente não fale sobre F1. Com Christian, Enzo e Pietro, o assunto sempre é corrida”, revelou. Para chegar à Fórmula 1, Emmo Fittipaldi sabe que o caminho é longo e difícil, principalmente para quem carrega um sobrenome de peso. “É um nome icônico na Fórmula 1 e, por isso, é óbvio que vem com pressão. As pessoas olham um pouquinho mais para mim do que para outros, mas no final das contas, na hora da corrida, não penso na diferença do nome. Eu estou lá para dar o meu melhor”, afirmou. Ídolo em casa O filho de Emerson Fittipaldi revelou quem é seu ídolo nas pistas. “Meu pai é minha maior inspiração e é por causa dele que estou correndo. Quando eu era pequenino, vi fotos e vídeos dele e sempre quis fazer o esporte que ele fez. Foi meu pai quem me mostrou o esporte pela primeira vez quando eu tinha 7 anos. Quero chegar aonde ele chegou na carreira. Ele brinca comigo que talvez eu possa ser melhor do que ele, mas primeiro eu preciso chegar na F1. Depois a gente conversa se vou ser melhor ou não”, revelou Emmo. “Ele é um pai que está sempre me ajudando e me ensinando porque ele tem muita experiência não só de corrida, mas de vida. É incrível ter um pai como ele”, completou. Nascido em 2007 na Flórida, Estados Unidos, o piloto escolheu a bandeira do Brasil para competir nas pistas. E isso não faz dele menos brasileiro do que o pai Emerson ou os tricampeões de F1 Ayrton Senna (1988/90/91) e Nelson Piquet (1981/83/87). Campeão da Fórmula E, Nelsinho Piquet, assim como Max Wilson, que é campeão da Stock Car, nasceram na Alemanha e carregam com orgulho a bandeira brasileira nas pistas. Outro exemplo é Hermano da Silva Ramos, o Nano, que é o piloto mais velho do mundo que já acelerou na Fórmula 1. Nano nasceu há 100 anos na França e competiu nos anos 50 da F1 com a bandeira do Brasil. Leia tambémHermano da Silva Ramos, piloto mais velho da história da F1, chega aos 100 anos Sonhando com uma Fórmula 1 bem diferente daquela de Hermano, Emmo disputa a atual temporada da F2 com o compatriota Rafael Câmara, que é piloto da academia da Ferrari. Atualmente, o filho do Emerson não está na melhor equipe da categoria, mas o jovem acredita que está no caminho certo. “Para 2026, a equipe e eu queremos aprender bastante. Quero evoluir em todos os procedimentos que a gente tem de fazer num fim de semana de corrida. Tenho certeza de que a competição contra pilotos excelentes vai melhorar muito a minha pilotagem. A minha meta para esse ano é aprender, trabalhar muito com a equipe e evoluir ao máximo”, afirmou Emmo Fittipaldi.

https://teachhoops.com/ How Do You Turn the "Quiet Months" Into a Championship Foundation? Off-season practice planning requires a total "Mental Pivot" from the tactical complexity of the winter to the Individual Technical Loading of the spring and summer. During the season, you coach the "Team"; in the off-season, you coach the "Athlete." The goal isn't to install a secondary break or a new zone offense; it is to expand the "Skill Ceiling" of every player on your roster. If your off-season practices look like your January practices, you are failing to develop the "tools" your players will need when the games actually matter. A great off-season plan is broken into three distinct phases: Technical Foundation (April-May), Physical/Skill Loading (June-July), and Competitive Integration (August). The core of every off-season session must be "Rep Density." Because you aren't preparing for a game on Friday, you can afford to spend 45 minutes on a single skill, like "Finishing with the Non-Dominant Hand" or "Footwork on the Wing." Utilize a "Station-Based Approach" even with small groups. This keeps the heart rate up and ensures that players aren't standing around watching teammates. The objective is to move from "Blocked Practice" (shooting 50 identical shots) to "Variable Practice" as quickly as possible. By changing the angles, distances, and speeds, you force the brain to "solve" the problem rather than just memorize a motion, leading to skills that actually transfer to a chaotic game environment. Finally, your off-season must include "Small-Sided Games (SSGs) with Constraints." While individual skill work is vital, it is useless if a player doesn't know when to use the skill. 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 games are the "Lab" where awareness is built. For example, run a 3-on-3 "No Dribble" game to force better cutting and passing, or a "Baseline Trap Only" game to work on composure under pressure. By the time the pre-season begins in the fall, your players shouldn't just be "in shape"—they should be "Game-Ready" with a expanded toolkit and a higher basketball IQ. Remember, championships are won in March, but they are built in the empty gyms of July.

Poducer | The Podcast for Producers Jerry sits down with Loqum to talk about club music, cultural identity, and finding your sound within a globalized music landscape. The conversation covers Loqum's roots in Turkey, his journey into Chicago's dance music scene, and how genres like footwork, juke, and jungle continue to evolve today. Loqum Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_loqum/ Linktree https://linktr.ee/loqum Loqum shares how his background shaped his approach to music, from classical training to playing in metal bands, and eventually discovering electronic production and DJing. Jerry and Loqum dive into how Chicago's dance music culture influenced his sound, and why the city continues to play such a major role in shaping global club music. The conversation also explores the deeper context behind genres like footwork and juke. Beyond just patterns and sounds, they talk about the culture, history, and communities that define these styles, and why understanding that matters more than ever in an era of fast content and instant access. They also get into topics like gatekeeping vs accessibility, the impact of the internet on music discovery, and how oversaturation is changing the way artists build careers. Loqum shares his perspective on respecting the origins of genres while still pushing things forward creatively. Toward the end, they talk about live performance, DJing for dancers vs listeners, and the importance of real-world experiences in a time where so much of music exists online. The episode closes with reflections on community, collaboration, and what it means to truly contribute to a scene.

Will AI kill your job?What happens to your job as AI gets smarter and companies keep laying people off even while profits rise? Will you still have a job? Will the job you have change beyond recognition?Scary questions, no?In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Nikki Barua, co-founder of Footwork and longtime founder, executive, and resiliency expert, to unpack what work really looks like in the age of AI.Layoffs are no longer just about economic downturns. Companies are growing, innovating, and still cutting staff, often because AI is enabling more output with less capacity. So what does that mean for you?Nikki argues the future doesn't belong to those who simply “learn AI tools,” but to agentic humans: people who lead with uniquely human strengths and use AI to amplify their impact. This conversation explores:• Why today's layoffs are different from past cycles• How AI is compressing jobs before creating new ones• What it means to move from doing work to directing outcomes• Why identity, curiosity, and agency matter more than certifications• How to rethink workflows instead of chasing shiny AI tools• The FLIP framework: Focus, Leverage, Influence, and PowerThis episode isn't about fear. It's about reinvention. If you're wondering how to stay relevant, valuable, and resilient as AI reshapes work, this is the place to start.GuestNikki BaruaCo-founder, Footwork(Reinventing organizations with agentic AI)

In this episode, Michael O'Neal (Long Beach, CA) and Mircea “MEER-cha” Morariu (Boca Raton, FL) are finally back together after a long break from podcasting and from regular pickleball play. This week, the guys dive deep into one of the most overlooked—and most transformative—concepts in pickleball improvement: Whether you're a 3.0 trying to climb or a 4.5 tuning the edges of your game, how you approach your recreational games determines how quickly you level up. Michael and Mircea break down: Mircea shares his linebacker-footwork story and why athletic transfer is often the missing link for adult players. Pick one skill per game: e.g., inside-out forehand speed-ups, defense, or drops only Work on recognizing paddle angles and predicting opponents' shots Identify “safe spots” vs. “danger zones” on each opponent How to collaborate with a partner—even in rec play with strangers You can still grow—even if you're stuck in chaos-ball games with bangers or beginners. Mircea explains how to turn those games into valuable defensive reps or tactical experiments. Lobs, ripping at beginners, avoiding the better player, poaching every ball—Michael and Mircea break down the “read the room” factor and why winning a rec game should never come at the expense of being a good human. Michael explains how simplifying your drops and eliminating spin can help you get your rhythm back fast. Every rec game is a training opportunity—if you decide it is. Footwork is the foundation. Fix it and you gain an entire level. Communicate with your partner. Even one word—drive, drop, middle—changes the whole point. Make them hit. Trust your defense. Stop trying to hit perfect drops. And above all… don't be a jerk. Thanks to everyone who reached out wondering where we've been. It means everything to know the show is part of your weekly pickleball journey. If you enjoy the pod, please leave a quick rating or review on Apple Podcasts—it helps more players find the show. See you on the courts. Until next time, have yourselves a wonderful day. ⭐ Intentional Rec Play

Detroit Lions Podcast: OT Draft Fits for the Lions November Draft Lens From the Detroit Lions Podcast It is late November and the Detroit Lions conversation already includes the NFL Draft. Playoff expectations sit high, but roster building never sleeps. The focus here is offensive tackle. Four names came up. Three look like fits for Detroit. One does not. Two earned deep dives, and both would impact the trenches in different ways. The Lions value athletic thresholds, positional movement skills, and verified testing. Measurements matter. So does tape that shows recovery, spatial control, and finish. Day 1 versus Day 2 will hinge on those numbers. Early Day 2 is a sweet spot if the board and need align. Brad Holmes has shown a willingness to maneuver when a specific player matches the profile. Caleb Tiernan's Decker-Style Fit at Left Tackle Caleb Tiernan of Northwestern checks boxes that tie directly to Taylor Decker's role. He is a left tackle with real experience and Detroit roots at Country Day. He carries a big frame at six foot seven and 329 pounds. The size looks honest. The game reflects it. Tiernan is not the smoothest mover, but he is coordinated and functional. He gets into space, engages, and finishes. He uses his length well and fires his hands with improving placement. If he loses early, he knows how to recover. That ability shows on film and matters on Sundays. The profile reads leader with grit and snarl. The style echoes Decker's steady control more than twitchy flash. On consensus boards he sits near 62. On a sharper internal board he ranks 39. That places him squarely in the second round. For the Detroit Lions, that screams early Day 2 consideration. It might be earlier than their natural slot, which invites the familiar question about moving up. Athletic testing will be important. He is the least athletic of the discussed quartet, but not a bad athlete. If the numbers clear Detroit's benchmarks, the fit stays strong. Blake Miller's Surge and a Right Tackle Contrast Blake Miller of Clemson brings a different energy. A four-year starter at right tackle with a small taste of left tackle, he is an ascending talent. The tape this season is the best he has played. Footwork pops. Hips and shoulders sync. He keeps his feet alive and wins in space. He seals corners. He down blocks with force. The athletic profile is real and functional in the open field. Miller's arc shifted from a summer fifth or sixth round projection to a top-20 grade on that same internal board. Consensus has him near 65. The weight is the pivot. He was listed at 295 in spring. He is pushing 300 now. If he hits 305 to 310 by the combine, first round is on the table. The style differs from Penei Sewell. Miller is more speed and space than pure power. That contrast can work in Detroit's ecosystem. Two tackles. Two lanes to upgrade depth and plan succession. As the Detroit Lions press forward, the offensive line remains the identity. The draft will offer answers at left tackle and right tackle. The board already hints at where to look. #DetroitLions #Lions #DetroitLionsPodcast #CalebTiernan #BlakeMiller #TaylorDecker #PeneiSewell #LeftTackle #RightTackle #EarlyDay2 #FirstRoundOnTheTable #AthleticThresholds #PositionalMovementSkills Learn more about your ad choices.

Breaking Down JJ McCarthy's Performance: Issues, Solutions, and Future Potential—In this episode of The Real Forno Show, host Tyler Forness provides a detailed analysis of Minnesota Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy's current performance issues. Despite having a record of two wins and three losses as a starter, McCarthy is struggling with consistency, especially in-game as opposed to practice. Forness discusses McCarthy's mechanical problems, such as footwork and pocket movement, and suggests running no-huddle tempo offense as a short-term solution to build McCarthy's confidence and consistency. The episode emphasizes the importance of level-headed, data-driven analysis over hot takes, and engages in detailed discussion about potential ways to help McCarthy develop into a franchise quarterback.

How are they free, you ask, because he sees what you're trying to do. Then he goes to the franchise, the parent company, and he says, pay me, and I'll help these guys succeed doing your franchise. Pretty brilliant. I was like, wow, that's amazing.Lesley Logan 0:20  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:59  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the supporting convo I had with Jon Ostenson in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now, go back and listen to that one, and then come back and join us, or listen to this one, and then you can decide if you want to listen that one. I think it's great. Jon has a book. It's really wonderful. It's a very niche topic. It's a nerdy topic. It's one I wanted to have because I don't think entrepreneurs, I'm like, making your own idea is for everybody, but I do think everybody deserves to have the wealth and agency that they want to have in this world and make what they want to make. So I'm excited about it. Brad Crowell 1:30  Well, I thought I really liked, I really liked the conversation. I was very I mean, especially for me, because I am very entrepreneurial, but I appreciated the back and forth. So, yeah, I, I think that it was very revealing. Lesley Logan 1:51  Are you saying it was a great interview? Did I do a good job? Brad Crowell 1:51  I'm saying it was a great interview. Not only that, but I think the information that he's sharing is shocking. He's super smart dude, and I thought, I thought it was very revealing for someone who might be hoping, wishing they could own a business. This was very empowering, because it, it created hope I think. So, yeah, great. Lesley Logan 2:17  I well, you'll, you guys, stay tuned. You'll hear what we're talking about in a second. Today is September 11th, 2025 and it's Patriot Day, which gives us all time to reflect on the devastating terror attacks that took 3000 lives. We commemorate those who we lost, and give thanks to the brave responders who put their lives on the line. Take a moment today to consider what we stand for as a nation, how we can work together to make the world a better place for all. It's a hard day. Brad Crowell 2:39  Yeah, I mean.Lesley Logan 2:40  Especially with 20, with 25 years to reflect on what fucking lies we're told afterwards, and then how we treat the first responders and how fucking hard it was to get their medical bills paid because they're dying from cancer right now. Like.Brad Crowell 2:56  Yeah, it's like, it's like a story that keeps repeating itself where something devastating happens that is wrong and tragic. People die and then motherfuckers in office take advantage of the public's emotional state, and they use it to go do some wrong shit. Lesley Logan 3:18  Go, so seriously, go watch the movie Vice. I happen to be really lucky to be teaching Christian Bale's wife at the time that he was filming that. And so it was a really interesting time, because, like, he was becoming Dick Cheney, which, like, it is a, I mean, of course, he won an, I think he won a bunch of awards for that. And he literally thanked Satan for the inspiration. Brad Crowell 3:41  Yes, he did. Lesley Logan 3:37  And I remember, I remember my client. I remember my client was, my client was just like, I fucking told him not to do that, or something like that. And so anyways, but go watch it, because it, while it's not historical, it is pretty fucking accurate about like, how rich Cheney and these bitches got after doing what they did and using, using the heartbreak, and what people fought with patriotism to go make these fucking wars, and then we did a bunch of bullshit, and then we ruined places. And it just pisses me off, because. Brad Crowell 4:04  Over, over, lies. Lesley Logan 4:09  Lies and so. And also, if you don't believe in September 11th being what it was like, I don't know why you're here, but like, I, I just really.Brad Crowell 4:18  Well, it was, I mean, it was a terrorist attack, no question. But what we did after it, how the public was manipulated, to then go to war for 20 years after, based on literal lies, you know.Lesley Logan 4:30  Yeah, it's, I it's hard because, like, okay, reflecting on what we consider as a nation today, I think, as an I think the people running our nation today reflect something I would never want to be a patriot of.Brad Crowell 4:42  Yeah, and that that's, that's the thing that really frustrates me as a person who, when you read the definition of patriot, I want to be that. That is absolutely, I mean, I consider myself a patriot. But also there's this, there's this frustrating association with angry white men, usually, who don't give a shit about people. And there's so much fear of others associated with it. And there's this ego that's associated with it that.Lesley Logan 5:17  It's, it's so it's so fragile. What they're like, they're thinking is so they are. They're such fragile people. Because they're just like, they're the way that they think, that they're showing strength. And we're like, protesting, they're like, like, making sure that we see the middle finger, and like, just like, and it's like, I have never driven in my entire life, of driving past something, we're talking about this with the protest where I disagree. Brad Crowell 5:39  We used to live by protests all the time, where we lived in L.A., we're literally next to the federal building, so it was like, every weekend, forever.Lesley Logan 5:45  Every weekend, it was like, who's protesting today? And like, there were times I was like, oh, I wonder why. It made me get curious as to, like, what is going on here. It was very fascinating. And it was like, what the fuck like, but I never was like, here's my middle finger to you. It's like, just, you know, move along. Move right along. The fact that you have to make sure I see your face in your lifted stupid truck while you flip me off, it makes you and that makes you feel good. You're like, yeah, I did it to them. I did it like, we were in Idaho, and there was a big ass sign in this guy's house. I was walking by the lake, and it was like, make liberals cry again, and it's like, oh, you think I'm crying. I'm pissed off. Like the tears of the tears are of what we are losing, of course, but like, no, I'm pissed off. James Baldwin, I want to, I want to make sure everyone hears this quote, because I think it's really beautiful, and I think it's this is what being a patriot is. I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. And I think that, like, this country has so many shortcomings, and no country is perfect. Like, I was listening to Sophia Bush on a podcast recently, and she's like, like, I'm not gonna move because, like, I love this place. I'm gonna fight for her. And so, like, if you moved and whatever, like, I have no judgments for that, but if you're here, like, you have to fight, because we're losing rights. We're losing rights. And it really pisses me off, because in the time of my mother being an adult and married woman, she could not get a credit card until, like, the 80s, right? Like, like, I if you're listening to this and you're just like, la, la, la, I just want to hear about how to be till I see it. Ladies, you are going to lose your ability to have your own bank account. You're gonna lose your ability to have your own vote. And if you think it's not going to happen because, oh, it's not going to happen. It's they want it to happen. And the right people are in power. And I'm tired of being told that Project 2025 is bullshit. It is happening right now. Lesley Logan 5:46  They're more than 50% of the way through completing Project 2025.Lesley Logan 5:48  In the time we're recording this, seven months. Brad Crowell 7:40  Yeah, seven months. And, I mean, you know, if you go through and you actually read the things that are in that platform, they they do want to make single family voting, which is literally taking away the white the rights of women, because they would consider the man the head of the household. Lesley Logan 8:02  And if you think, oh, I'm not married yeah your brother get to vote for you. I don't have a brother, your uncle get to vote for you. Like they will find a man if and when this type of life existed, they would find someone in the government to become your vote. You don't get there's no getting out of this. You don't get one.Brad Crowell 8:17  Yeah, and, and, and the people in power are Tweeting about that stuff, literally right now, right like they're they're putting it out there. They're trying to normalize the idea so that when they go and try to do it, it doesn't seem like it's as big of a deal as it actually fucking is. Lesley Logan 8:32  So you know what I think patriotism is right now, babe, it is, find a protest. I know you're busy. I know you have fucked tons, going on. We are, too. Find one. Go for an hour. Go yell. Go meet friends. Go meet people who are different than you. It's, these protests people, some people are fighting for their their gay marriages to still exist. Some people are fighting further to not be war. Some people are fighting for God. Some people are fighting to like for the Epstein list. I don't care what gets you out there, but like you think that this, that what they're gonna do is not gonna affect your life, it is. It is. Brad Crowell 8:55  Yeah, go, go check out individual, indivisible.org, for a local, you know, event, or how you can get involved near you. So, you know, we're gonna move on, and we're gonna actually. Lesley Logan 9:11  Well, people like this, Brad, we've been told, hi, Vicky.Brad Crowell 9:14  I think it's so important y'all and and it's like this, I know that we this isn't a podcast about politics, but it is. Lesley Logan 9:22  But also, but also. Brad Crowell 9:23  Being it until you see it is a pod, it is about like politics, and it is a part of every single element of our life, even if you have the perfect life, quote, unquote, it's because of politics that you are able to live the way that you live. And what's happening right now is such fast, dramatic change in our countries. Like, historically, there's so much change happening so quickly there, that when we wake up, you know, in even six months from now, it's going to be like, there we are at the brink of things. Lesley Logan 9:53  I don't even know how we're going to make it to the midterms. That's my fear. That's my fear, and I put it out right now, but I will just say, even if you're like, less. I just want a homestead. I want to be like tradwife. The fact that you get to choose that is because of politics. So that is fine if that's what you want to choose to do. But do not think that everybody wants to do that and that that should be the choice for everybody. So I think that like that is why we have to get involved. And if you are a woman, you are political. Your existence in any room is political has been and if you really want to get fired up, go read the book, She Caused A Riot. Go look at history. Like fucking Socrates, his teacher was a woman. Did you know that? The reason you don't know that is because politics, they didn't want you to know that there was leaders in this world.Brad Crowell 10:39  Politics and religion. Lesley Logan 10:39  Fuck that. Anyways. Brad Crowell 10:39  Frustrating. Lesley Logan 10:39  I'm pissed off, but we're currently in the U.K. We're in the U.K. and then when we get home, well, we're home for a couple of weeks, and we gotta see my best friends and come visit, and then we're gonna go to Chicagoland for Pilates On Tour with Balanced Body. I'm doing the Joe's Gyms there. That's in Burr Ridge. If there's any spots left, you should snag one, because it's super, super fun, and we have a huge party coming with all of our agency eLevate OPC members, then we're gonna be in Cambodia. That's also in October. You can still join like you can join last minute. Guess what? Flight planes will sell a seat as long as there is one. So you can get the fuck out of town and retreat a little bit and be in a different world and get some empathy for what it's like to live in different places.Brad Crowell 11:21  Yeah, and experience a different culture and see that not everybody.Lesley Logan 11:24  If you are worried. Sorry, I cut you off. If you're worried about being an American in a different country, let me tell you, they see what's happening right now, and they are, in Cambodia, they are sad for us. They are scared for us. They know that they know where we're headed, and they're sad for us.Brad Crowell 11:25  Yeah, I was just gonna say with our experience recently about trying to cross borders and getting stuck and turned around and not being able to, it wasn't the it wasn't the attendees of the events that we were not able to attend who were angry with us. It was the border guard who was, you know, unfortunately, misinformed and, you know, and angry. And he's angry because the border guards of our country were turning away people for no reason. So he could just, that's the only power he had, was to turn away, you know, Americans for no reason. And we just kind of got caught up in that. So there's a lot of, there is a lot of frustration, but it's not from the people, right, in this country, it's like, you know? So, so I would say, you know, yeah, it did feel a little bit stressful to you know, as we were approaching, once we got there and started talking to them, it became clear that that there was just silly reasons being turned away but, but even in that, like the you know, the guy wasn't like, he wasn't an asshole about it. So, but I it was really frustrating. If you're worried about something like that, when you come to a place like Cambodia, you apply for your visa ahead of time. You will know before you arrive if they're going to turn you around, because you'll have the right paperwork.Lesley Logan 13:06  And also you're we're all going as tourists. The Canadian thing, we were going into work. Brad Crowell 13:11  That's true. Lesley Logan 13:11  And that was it, we'll have to do a whole episode on it, because it's a longer, longer conversation. That being said, you go to. Brad Crowell 13:18  But as a tourist, they want a tourist. They want that because. Lesley Logan 13:21  That's how they're that's literally how their country survives. Brad Crowell 13:24  Yep, it's how well, it's how the city that we're going to, that's how the economy there survives, from tourism. So, you know, and they are very aware of that, so. Lesley Logan 13:32  Yes, they want us there. They're so welcoming, they're so kind, and you can see what it's like to be living in a different part of this world. I think that's so important. I think one of the biggest reasons why people in this, in the U.S., are so fucking scared of people of a different color is because they've never, they've never gone and seen how they live. Yeah, you know, go get worldly. You will have more empathy, crowsnestretreats.com. After we leave Cambodia, we're going to be in Singapore. We're going to teach at a beautiful studio there, and then we're gonna see the Botanical Gardens. And then we're home. We're home for the whole month of November. Oh my God, no, Brad, I'm not going camping anywhere. We're home for the whole month of November. Brad Crowell 14:10  But my parents are coming. We're gonna go camp. Lesley Logan 14:12  No, we're, that is not why they're coming to visit us. Help make an, help you with the roof or something. And then October, we're gonna be on our winter tour. And if you want to make sure you hear about that first, go to opc.me/events, opc.me/events, because our people on our waitlist will get the access to the tickets first. And the winter tour does have cities that sell out in 24 hours. Okay, we have to get to our interview, but we do have an audience question. So Brad, go for it.Brad Crowell 14:37  Yes. Okay. DMK asks on Instagram, hey Lesley, my footwork question is this, what cue or cues do you like to use during footwork? I'm sorry, if footwork students, very confused. They made a mistake on the word here.Lesley Logan 14:42  What cues do you like to use, if during footwork, students are using it like a leg press? Brad Crowell 14:56  Oh, sorry. Okay. Lesley Logan 14:57  Yeah, thank you. Brad Crowell 14:59  Well, I just read that wrong. That's all.Lesley Logan 15:00  It's okay, it's all good. So.Brad Crowell 15:04  First off, we're clearly talking about. Lesley Logan 15:06  Footwork on the Reformer. Yeah. DMK, this, I hate cues.Brad Crowell 15:13  Well, hold on, let's explain what the problem is. What is the problem that she's experiencing with her class? Lesley Logan 15:17  The problem that she's probably seen is they're, they're, they're pushing out and in, like, it's a leg press machine, like, it's like a leg machine, and they're making it only a leg exercise versus a full body exercise, right? And then the other thing is that they're not using all the muscles of their legs, because they're just, like, shoving their knees straight. And they're probably pausing at the top, which is what you do on a leg press machine. And then kind of, hopefully, on a leg press machine, you're resisting. But a lot of people just kind of, like, close the the weights, or just like, kind of float in or ride the springs in. So here's the deal, DMK, my teacher, Jay Grimes, and the teachers I studied with him, talked a lot about how Joe didn't really correct during footwork. You use footwork to tell you what's kind of going on in the person's body. So I also happen to like three or four springs on for footwork. So some people think that, like heavy springs means they're gonna use it like a leg press machine, but ideally you want those heavy springs to warm the body up. Two lightest springs can actually affect someone's lower back, if they have a tight lower back, or they're not getting the connection, and the warm up for what's to come. So I do like three to four springs. That being said, what you can do for those people who want to make it a leg press machine, take all the springs off, go down to one light spring and see what happens. They're going to fly off. And you're like, yeah, you actually have to push into the foot bar the whole time, even as you come in. So I love a one spring, because it kind of helps teach the actual movement, and then load the springs up. If you take my fast workshop, I think you can get it on our OPC website. You'll see how I explain how to use especially with arches and heels to do that. The other thing I would say is ask them, if they are opening the front of the hips or opening the back of the knees. What is their intention? Meaning, the, when you focus on opening the knee joint, you're a leg press machine. When you focus on opening the front of the hips, you're making this move from your center. I am looking, I actually don't care people's knees go straight. I'm looking at, can they move their thigh away from their center and open the front of their hips and then pull that back in. So I'm kind of looking at that, but if they don't do those things, the footwork is just really telling me how they're actually moving. And I have to pick other exercises to assist. So other ways to help them understand that's not like press machine would be doing leg springs. Single leg springs, both leg springs, footwork on the Tower is gonna be really helpful, because that's a whole different plane. And so like, find different exercises that get your point across. Ask them what they're feeling and then take them back to the Reformer and say, find that feeling here.Lesley Logan 17:39  Great. Love it. That's the best cue you could do. Lesley Logan 17:50  There you go. Brad Crowell 17:50  I love it. Great question, DMK. Lesley Logan 17:52  Thanks, DMK. Brad Crowell 17:52  If you have a question, just text us. 310-905-5534, 310-905-5534 or you can actually send your question in through, beitpod.com/questions, beitpod.com/questions.Lesley Logan 18:07  That's where you can also send your wins in, too. I want your wins, people. Brad Crowell 18:14  We want your wins. Let's do it. All right. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're actually going to talk about Jon Ostenson next. Lesley Logan 18:20  Finally. Brad Crowell 18:22  All right, let's talk about Jon Ostenson. An expert in franchising and based out of Atlanta, Georgia, Jon Ostenson left his W2 job eight years ago, after years in the corporate world, to become president of Shelf Genie, a large franchise system where he says he fell in love with the franchise model, which he explained amazingly and in detail during the interview. So if you didn't get a chance to listen to that, I would, I would very much encourage you to go listen to it. It was super informative. He is, Jon, is now the founder of FranBridge Consulting and author of the bestselling book, Non-Food Franchising, which, Lesley, I know you read, I've seen it on our table out there. Jon helps clients find suitable franchise opportunities from over 600 different brands outside of the fast food industry. His mission is to guide individuals who want to own a business but may feel risk-averse or lack a, quote unquote, genius idea connecting with them with proven scalable franchise model, and here's the, models, and here's the crazy thing, this is where I was like, oh my God, this guy's brilliant, his services to you are free. How are they free, you ask, because he sees what you're trying to do then he goes to the franchise, the parent company, and he says, pay me, and I'll help these guys succeed doing your franchise. Yeah, pretty brilliant. I was like, wow, that's amazing. So.Lesley Logan 19:44  I love it. I love it so much because it's, like, it's completely risk-averse for you, like, and the reason I thought this, I really wanted to dig in with this guy, because I don't even understand how you get into a franchise, and. Brad Crowell 19:58  Well, it makes me want to get into franchises. Lesley Logan 20:00  I know. And we just met someone who's like, all he does is all these different franchises and and so I just like it because, like, first of all, we talked a lot about how you could, like, work and have a franchise. Like, it's like, there's like, there's all these different ways you can do it. So, anyways.Brad Crowell 20:16  Yeah, he said a lot of franchisors, the people on the franchise, still might have a day job, because. Lesley Logan 20:21  Yeah. Aren't they a franchisee? Brad Crowell 20:24  Oh, sorry, franchisee. You're, you're right. The franchisor is the parent company. The franchisee is the person who's, who's like, purchase one of the locations or whatever. So the franchisee as if you could still be working your normal life and have a franchise, obviously, then it's about the team that you put in place to make sure that they can run it without you having to be there. But, but this guy was talking about having franchises all over the country, so he's clearly not in them operating them. Lesley Logan 20:51  Yeah. But also. No. And so you can be an owner-operator. He has, he, like, his book has got a lot of this stuff in it, if you want to, like, dig in even more and then chat with him, but like, here's what I. Brad Crowell 20:51  And by the way, we're not just talking about Pilates franchises. Lesley Logan 21:02  No, he is, like, there's so many, there's some out there. And also, like, I personally, I personally don't want to grab someone else's Pilates franchises, because, the way I like to teach, I probably would want to make my own, but maybe I want to get one that's in the like, maybe that's like a red light sauna space or something that goes along with what I do, that's like in the thing that I am interested in, in life, like I'm already. Brad Crowell 21:23  Or salt path, float, float, yeah, floating, yeah.Lesley Logan 21:27  By the way, there is a float place that I'm sure, is a franchise in Nashville that I'm like, how the fuck do we get it out here in our neighborhood? Because I'm tired of driving 30 minutes to go fucking float, I'm pissed off by the time I get back. Anyways, we just need, I don't know, a few thousands of dollars, and then we can do it, babe. I think, here's where our next adventure is. Brad Crowell 21:45  (inaudible) crazy is you said that, like, a lot of people, will start a franchise with maybe, you know, $50,000 to $100,000 down, and the rest of it is actually from a an SBA loan, because the SBA and the banks believe in the franchise model so much that they are willing to effectively front the rest of the startup capital. And I was like, wow, I never thought about that. That's amazing. Because, and like, you know, $50,000 is still a shitload of money. I understand that. But it also isn't a million dollars, right? Lesley Logan 22:18  And also, like, anyone who wants to start to make legitimate money, you have to stop thinking that $50,000 is a lot of money, start thinking it's possible, that you can get it, that there's a way, because I remember thinking that, oh, my God, it's so much money. And let me tell you the long as you think 50,000 is so much money you're gonna have, it's gonna feel so far away when you start to think like, of course I still have to find $50,000 you, go listen to that podcast we have with the guy with the question marks, I forget his name, anyways, go and find it, but let's just talk about things I loved that he said. Okay, let me get into my notes. He said, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself. And I love this, because so many of the people I meet, they're like, so lucky that you and Brad, like, are married and like, you work together. And our biggest response is, like, not everyone should do what we do. So if you want to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself, instead of working with your partner, why don't you get a partner? And it can be a franchise like, I think that's really cool.Brad Crowell 23:09  And different franchisors offer different support, and that's one of the conversations that that you could have with a person like Jon, where you might be like, hey, I am innately a marketer, but I'm terrible at operations, right? Then he, he might say, okay, well, this franchise, you know, whatever, they can help. Or, or conversely, I hate marketing. I'm really, that's not my jam. I need a franchise that will create the content for me that I can just use to put out there. So they're different, like, corporate offices will do different things for the business to support the franchisee and but, but, but as a as a layman, how am I supposed to know? But Jon gets to see hundreds of franchises. Lesley Logan 23:53  I think that's what's so cool. Is like, if you know your strengths, then you can talk to Jon and figure out, like, what are the different franchises that I'm interested in that are, like, in an area I want to be in, and then, okay, of those, which one matches my strengths and my weaknesses? Because you don't want to have something that's like, great at marketing and you're great at marketing, but like, has the systems are not there for the operations, like things like that, but also the franchiser does a lot for you. And remember, it's a proven business model, so like, it's already figured like, it's already thrown ideas at the wall, figured out what works, and then you just get to rinse and repeat that. And I really, I really like that for people who want to create their own schedule, create their own impact, be part of the community, but are risk-averse, you know? And by the way, I get it, we just.Lesley Logan 24:39  I'm risk-averse, too. Lesley Logan 24:39  Oh my god, you really are. Brad Crowell 24:41  But in a measurable way. But it's like, I wouldn't want to go, just go throw money away and hope, hope that something works. Imagine being able to follow a systematic approach where they figured out all the kinks in the business. Like, like the business that Lesley and I run that we've created, it has taken us a lot longer to get to where we are today. It's literally 10 years now, 10 years of running this business, yeah, 10 years of trying to figure things out, making mistakes, doing all this stuff, when with a franchise model, there are so many less mistakes to make, because hypothetically, they've already made the mistakes for you and figured it out and put together the playbook that you can simply follow the plan, the process, right? I really loved when he talked about business ownership is really hard. It takes a lot of work. And, yeah, that's that's very true, too. And he said, if it was easy, everyone would be a business owner, and what he what so, so, of all the pros that we've been talking about with a franchise model, it still does take a lot of work, and it's it takes focus and and the biggest thing he mentioned was the people who fail don't follow the plan, right? And Jon goes, calls up the franchise corporate office and goes, yo, what happened here? What's going on? And the franchisor said, you know, would say to Jon, well, look, we did everything we could to support this person, but they didn't listen. They just didn't fucking listen, you know. And that doesn't mean that, like, there won't still be challenges, because every single location is different, every market is different, every opportunity. And what I mean that, I mean different franchise model is different, you know. So it still will take work, but you don't have to do it alone, you know. And that that's amazing, you know. So, so anyway, he doesn't sugarcoat franchises but he said it's a lot easier and a lot more predictable. Lesley Logan 26:40  His book, actually, like, talks about, like, like, kind of like, if it's for you, you know, and this is where like, it, for us to follow the rules, right, with you, you have to know, okay, we're gonna do this thing with this company. We're gonna follow their rules, which means I'm gonna hire someone to go follow their rules, because I am unemployable, so I will probably fuck him up, but you have to know that about yourself, you know. Such a cool dude. He also was like, because I told him I have an idea, I still have an idea that I might want to, like happen and make, and franchise and he's like, just give me a call. Run it by me. And I'm like, amazing. I just love how generous people can be. Brad Crowell 27:18  Yeah, yeah. Well, stick around, we're going to talk about how generous Jon is with his Be It Action Items, in just a minute. Brad Crowell 27:25  All right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Jon Ostenson? He said he really encourages people who are interested in franchising or the concept of franchising, to just simply explore, that there's no downside, there's no cost to learn about how it works, what it is, is it even plausible for me? Is this something that I could do while still doing my life? He said it's super free to work with them, which we already talked about at the very beginning of this convo here. FranBridge consulting, his company helps clients navigate and find top available opportunities among over 600 different non-food franchise brands and. Lesley Logan 28:08  We love that. I do not want to deal with food. Brad Crowell 28:10  Well, he's he's not, he's not opposed to food, but it also, apparently, just adds a whole lot more variables in there. Lesley Logan 28:16  I used to work at a coffee shop, and it was small business-owned, and I'm going to tell you right now, it is,.Brad Crowell 28:21  Well, that's different than a franchise, because a franchise is a system, so small business-owned might make things just complicated because they're making shit up.Lesley Logan 28:28  Food, food, there's, like, the things you have to do to prevent rats.Brad Crowell 28:32  Right, there's just a lot more variables when it comes to food. There's also a lot of more licensing and a lot more, like red tape with like, local state government stuff, you know. So anyway, he explained that what I already mentioned is that, how does he get paid? He gets paid by the franchise business, the corporate, right? He, you're not necessarily paying him directly. So, I mean, it seems like an absolute win-win.Lesley Logan 28:57  Just worth having the conversation like there's no, there's no harm in it, you know. Brad Crowell 29:00  Yeah. What about you? Lesley Logan 29:01  So I love that he said, activity breeds activity. Yes. It's like a body in motion, stays in motion. Yesterday, we just got into town, you know, at midnight on Friday night. I guess it's Saturday morning. Anyways, our friend, my she saw me at the gym, and she's like, you're like, the most consistent creature. And I'm like, I don't if I was to not be consistent, like, like, if I used travel as an excuse, I would never be consistent. So activity breeds activity. A body motion stays in motion. Explain, it's the idea he saw play out in his career and life, that whenever he gets off the sidelines he starts moving to Option A or B. That's that, then that's when option C comes out of left field. He says, good things happen when you're in motion. And it's so true. Like, it's so true. You know, even we got sidelined with the fucking Canada thing, we pivoted and kept going. And, like, because we did that, other things happened, that the dominoes kept going. And like, these other opportunities came around. And I think, like. Brad Crowell 29:53  Yeah, we met a whole studio we never would have met. Lesley Logan 29:55  We totally did. Could be a pop-up someday. But at any rate, like, you know, you, you'd be surprised what happens. Too often, we get we get sidelined, and we're like, I'm gonna sit over here. Keep going, take another step. And if you hear, as you hear in the podcast, it says action is the antidote to fear.
