Episode 1989: Mikey Rox shares practical, hard-earned advice for building a sustainable freelance career, from treating your work like a real company to mastering taxes, automation, and specialization. With insights from experienced entrepreneurs and coaches, this guide reveals how to reduce risk, increase profitability, and position yourself for long-term success. It's a must-listen for anyone ready to turn independent work into a thriving, well-managed venture. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lenpenzo.com/blog/id49160-smart-business-tips-for-first-time-freelancers-2.html Quotes to ponder: "My freelance earnings didn't take off until I choose to specialize. In my case, I specialized as a landing page designer on the Unbounce platform. Specializing in a field that was both new and growing fast allowed me to quickly gain customers." "Maintaining your current career and easing into the freelance world lessens financial stress, since profits aren't likely to be huge in the beginning. Also consider a mentor; the website SCORE is a great place to find one." "Freelancers who ask detailed questions are the ones most likely to do the job correctly. Then again, freelancers who act like they need no guidance or help, are usually the ones who screw things up."

https://teachhoops.com/ The rise of national and regional youth basketball rankings for players as young as fourth or fifth grade is one of the most polarizing developments in the sport. On the "helpful" side, rankings can provide exposure and validation for elite talents who might otherwise be overlooked, especially those in rural areas. They can also serve as a "benchmark" for players, sparking a competitive fire to work harder. However, at the youth level, these lists are often "Projection-Based Guesswork." A player who is "ranked" at age 11 is often simply the child who hit their growth spurt early or has matured physically faster than their peers. By the time they reach high school, the "late bloomers" often catch up, rendering those early rankings irrelevant. The primary danger of early rankings is the creation of a "Fixed Mindset" and the "Arrival Fallacy." When a 12-year-old is told they are "Top 50 in the Nation," they often stop seeking the "hard coaching" that builds long-term success. They begin to play for the "highlight reel" rather than the "win," leading to the "Deterioration of Fundamentals." Instead of learning how to move without the ball or set a proper screen, they focus on isolation plays that will look good on social media. Conversely, players who aren't ranked often feel "defeated" before they've even reached puberty, leading to premature burnout and a loss of "Trust Equity" in the developmental process. As a coach or parent, you must master the "Art of the Filter." Use rankings as a "conversation starter," not a "conclusion." If a player is ranked, challenge them to prove they are the hardest worker in the gym, not just the most talented. If they aren't ranked, use it as fuel for their "underdog" mentality. Utilize TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your program's culture: are you celebrating "national status," or are you celebrating the "Zero-Talent" metrics like floor dives and box-outs? By prioritizing "Rep Density" and Skill Acquisition over "digital clout," you ensure that your athletes are building a foundation that will actually hold up when the college scouts start watching for real in 11th grade.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Michelle Tarbox, MD, for a candid discussion about the realities of leading a dermatology department and training the next generation of dermatologists. Dr Tarbox reflects on the vision she brought to her role as department chair and the principles that guide her approach to residency education. Central to that philosophy is cultivating enthusiastic, lifelong learners. While a strong grounding in foundational dermatology, including historical therapies, is essential, she emphasizes that residents must also be fluent in emerging therapies and evolving evidence. She highlights the value of conferences, podcasts, and other modern educational resources that help clinicians remain current while connecting learning to real-world practice. The conversation also explores the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. Dr Tarbox notes that AI tools are becoming increasingly accessible and may support educational development and information gathering. However, she cautions that technology should complement, not replace, clinical judgment. Both clinicians agree that medical students and residents must learn to critically evaluate AI-generated content, verify references, and take responsibility for the work they sign their names to. She shares practical strategies for mentoring trainees in this area, including careful citation review and clear expectations around responsible AI use. Finally, she reflects on the leadership lessons she has learned since becoming chair, including the importance of communication, collaborative decision-making, and balancing ambitious ideas with institutional realities. Tune into the episode to hear Dr Tarbox share insights on dermatology leadership, residency education, responsible use of emerging technologies, and the behind-the-scenes decisions that shape the training of future dermatologists.

The latest episode in our monthly PM Talks series explores a deceptively simple idea: practice. It's a word we hear constantly—in sports, work, and creative pursuits—but we rarely stop to examine what it actually means or why it matters so much. In this conversation, Patrick Rhone and I unpack the many layers of practice—from the fundamentals that shape excellence to the quiet discipline of repetition that rarely gets the spotlight. Along the way we explore identity, devotion, habits, AI, and why focusing on fewer things might actually help us do them better.Six Discussion PointsPractice is both an act of trying something and the art of doing it well—one evolves into the other over time.High performers separate themselves through relentless practice, often long after others have stopped.Fundamentals matter more than flash; mastery comes from repeatedly doing the simple things well.Habits and routines are often the result of practice, but the practice itself is what creates them.Technology—including AI—can short-circuit practice if it replaces the act of doing rather than supporting it.Devoting yourself to fewer things can deepen practice and produce higher quality results over time.Three Connection PointsPatrick Rhone — https://patrickrhone.comProductiveness updates — https://mikevardy.com/productivenessRelentless by Tim GroverPractice isn't something we graduate from. It's something we live inside of. The people who truly excel understand this—whether they're athletes, creators, entrepreneurs, or anyone simply trying to get better at what matters to them. The question isn't whether we practice. The question is what we choose to practice, and how consistently we show up to do it.

What do we do when parts of our faith feel confusing? In this message from our Fundamentals series, we explore one of the most important and sometimes misunderstood truths of Christianity—the Trinity. While the word “Trinity” isn't found in the Bible, Scripture clearly reveals that God exists as one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Rather than something to avoid because it's difficult to fully comprehend, the Trinity actually reveals something incredible about who God is. Our God is co-eternal, co-equal, and co-relational—a God who has always existed in perfect love. And out of that overflowing love, He created us and invites us into relationship with Him. In this message, we look at: • What the Trinity means and where we see it in Scripture • The difference between understanding God and fully comprehending Him • How the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit reveal the nature of God • Why God being Trinity shows that God is love • What it means for our lives to reflect that same overflowing love The God of the Bible is not distant or uninterested in our lives. He is a relational God who invites us into His love, His community, and His mission. Our prayer is that this message encourages you to go deeper in your understanding of God and inspires you to walk closer with Jesus this week.

The Bible is The Foundation of Every Foundation When the Lord Jesus Christ was tempted in the wilderness, He did not rely on emotion, miracles, or personal authority. He relied on Scripture. Three times He answered, "It is written." The Son of God anchored His response to the written Word of God. That establishes our foundation. If the Bible was sufficient for Christ in confrontation with Satan, it is sufficient for us in confrontation with doubt, culture, temptation, and unbelief. The Bible is made of *66 books, written by more than 40 authors, over approximately 1,500 years, on three continents, in multiple languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek). Yet it carries a unified message: redemption through Jesus Christ. It repeatedly authenticates its uniqueness by describing history before it occurs. ⛪ ABOUT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCHES: We believe that our Calvary Baptist Churches are a movement for all people to know God, Reaching Others, Building Lives, Honouring God and Make a Difference.

In this episode of The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI, Joel Appelbaum speaks with Dustin Carlson, president of the 831(b) Institute, about maintaining the credibility and long-term viability of Section 831(b) micro-captives. The discussion centers on Mr. Carlson's three-part series in Captive Insurance Company Reports outlining proposed reforms aimed at addressing practices that have drawn regulatory scrutiny while preserving legitimate captive insurance programs. Mr. Carlson explains how the Section 831(b) election allows small insurance companies to exclude underwriting income up to the statutory premium threshold while remaining taxable on investment gains. He outlines concerns around structures used for estate planning, investments such as life insurance or annuities inside captives, and related-party lending practices. The conversation explores practical policy proposals designed to curb abuses while reinforcing insurance fundamentals—such as proper underwriting, claims processes, and governance practices—to ensure micro-captives remain focused on risk management rather than investment or wealth transfer strategies.

https://teachhoops.com/ Summer basketball has transformed from an "off-season" of individual skill development into a high-octane, multi-game marathon. For many youth players, the summer circuit offers unparalleled exposure and competition. Playing against different styles and elite talent from across the country can accelerate a player's "Game Sense" and confidence. It forces athletes out of their comfort zones and provides a realistic benchmark of where they stand in the national or regional landscape. However, the "Helpful" side of the summer grind is only realized if the player is actually playing—not just traveling. A summer spent on a bench in a high-profile "shoe circuit" is often less beneficial than a summer spent in a local gym getting 500 game-speed shots up every morning. The "Harmful" impact of the modern summer circuit often manifests as "Burnout and Overuse." When the Game-to-Practice ratio reaches a tipping point—sometimes playing 6 games in a 48-hour window—fundamental execution suffers. We see the "Deterioration of Fundamentals" as players trade disciplined defensive stances and triple-threat positioning for "survival mode" mechanics. Physically, the lack of a true "Rest and Recovery" phase in the summer can lead to "Micro-Trauma" in young joints, setting the stage for more serious injuries during the winter season. As a coach, you must help your players and parents understand the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio ($ACWR$) to ensure they aren't redlining their bodies before they even reach high school. Ultimately, the goal of summer basketball should be "Targeted Growth." Use this time to address the "leaks" identified during the school season. If a player struggled with their "weak-hand" finishing in February, their summer focus should be 70% skill-specific training and 30% competitive play. Utilize TeachHoops member calls to audit your players' summer schedules: are they chasing "Rankings," or are they chasing "Development"? By prioritizing "Rep Density" and individual skill acquisition over a trophy in a July tournament, you ensure that your athletes return in the fall as more versatile, resilient, and high-IQ basketball players who are ready to lead a championship culture.

AI is reshaping both sides of the cybersecurity battlefield — and fast. In this episode, we break down five stories that prove it: the first Chrome zero-day of 2026 (CVE-2026-2441), a near-perfect CVSS 9.9 in Microsoft's Semantic Kernel SDK (CVE-2026-26030), a supply chain attack on AI coding assistant Cline that silently installed autonomous agents on thousands of developer machines, the first-ever Android malware using Google's Gemini AI at runtime (PromptSpy), and a Russian-speaking threat actor who used commercial AI tools to breach over 600 FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in just five weeks. Whether you're a developer, security professional, or just someone who uses a browser — this one's worth your time.

In this first installment of a three-part vineyard nutrition series, Dr. Markus Keller joins us to break down one of the most influential nutrients in vineyard management: nitrogen. We explore from the ground up.  Dr. Keller explains what nitrogen is, where it comes from in vineyard soils, and why it plays such a critical role in vine growth, fruit set, and overall vine performance. While nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere, vines rely on soil processes to convert it into plant-available forms like nitrate. Dr. Keller details how nitrogen influences vigor, canopy density, fruit set, berry size, phenolic development, and even wine quality. The episode also dives into how soil type, organic matter, temperature, moisture, and cover crops affect nitrogen availability. For growers across diverse regions, this conversation highlights why vineyard nutrition strategies must be site-specific. Whether you're managing high-vigor blocks or navigating lean soils, episode one of our three-part series equips vineyard owners and operators with foundational knowledge to make smarter nitrogen decisions. In this episode, you will hear: Nitrogen primarily comes from soil organic matter, not rock minerals Microbial activity drives nitrogen availability in vineyards Both deficiency and excess nitrogen can reduce vine balance and fruitfulness Soil moisture and temperature strongly influence nitrogen mineralization Leaf blade tissue sampling offers improved precision for nitrogen analysis Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

The Fundamentals – Week 1: The Word of God We're kicking off our brand-new series, The Fundamentals, by laying the foundation for everything we believe: the Bible is inspired by God, fully trustworthy, and the basis for our lives. In this message, we explore what it truly means for Scripture to be “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16), how the Holy Spirit inspired its authors, and why the Word of God is not just informative—but transformative. Just like athletes never outgrow the fundamentals, we never outgrow the necessity of God's Word. It anchors us in a shifting culture, corrects us in love, trains us in righteousness, and shapes us into mature followers of Jesus. This teaching challenges us to move beyond simply agreeing with the Bible to actually applying it. We are called to hear it, read it, believe it, and obey it. Because a Word-shaped church becomes a world-shaking church. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with Jesus for decades, this message will strengthen your foundation and renew your hunger for Scripture.

Febr 27, 2026 – Is the strong bull market starting to lose momentum? Financial Sense Newshour's Jim Puplava interviews market strategist Jim Welsh of Macro Tides for a technical deep dive into what's really going on under the market's surface...

Gold and silver just posted historic record highs, and Wall Street is still asleep. In this week's Schiff Gold Friday Market Wrap, Peter Schiff breaks down the biggest one-day dollar rally in gold history, silver's surge above $90 an ounce, and why recent volatility is consolidation at extreme highs — not a top.

https://teachhoops.com/ The deterioration of fundamentals in the modern game is a direct result of the "Highlight Culture" that permeates youth and high school basketball. In an era where a player's "value" is often measured by their social media mixtape rather than their defensive win shares, the incentive structure has shifted. Players are spending thousands of hours practicing "deep threes" and "flashy handles" while ignoring the "Zero-Talent" fundamentals like boxing out, proper footwork on a closeout, and the simple chest pass. As a coach, you are fighting a battle against the "Instant Gratification" of the highlight reel. To reverse this trend, you must make fundamentals "cool" again by charting them and rewarding them with playing time, proving that the most fundamental team is almost always the last one standing in March. A major contributor to this decline is the disproportionate Game-to-Practice ratio found in many AAU circuits. When athletes play four games in a weekend but only practice once a week, they never develop the "Muscle Memory" required for elite execution. They are essentially "playing through" their mistakes rather than correcting them. This leads to "Dirty Reps"—poor shooting mechanics or lazy defensive stances that become baked into their game. To combat this, your practice environment must prioritize "High-Volume Rep Density." Instead of generic drills, utilize "Constraint-Based" teaching where players cannot move to the next segment until they demonstrate a perfect jump stop or a "two-handed" rebound. By making the "boring" basics a requirement for entry into the "fun" parts of practice, you raise the floor of your program's potential. Finally, the deterioration of fundamentals is often a failure of "Coach Clarity." If you aren't correcting a "travel" on a pivot in November, you shouldn't be surprised when it costs you a game in February. Fundamentals are "leaky"—if you don't constantly plug the holes, they will drain away. Use film study to show your players the direct link between a fundamental breakdown (like a missed box-out) and the resulting opponent basket. When players see that their "individual sloppiness" has a "team cost," they develop a sense of accountability. By doubling down on the "Basics of the Game" during the mid-season January grind, you aren't being "old school"—re-establishing these habits is a strategic advantage that will allow your team to out-execute more "talented" but less disciplined opponents.
