Ep. 83 - Chief Daniel Comeaux, the 31st Chief of Police of the Dallas Police Department joins me to look back at his first year in the role – his initiatives, his accomplishments as well as his goals for the future. Chief came to the job with 35 years in law enforcement, six with Houston PD starting in 1991 where he spent much of his time in narcotics; and 28 with the DEA which he joined in 1997.As I say in the episode, I think Chief of Police is a tough job, no matter what department, no matter what city. And the first year in that position has to be the most demanding – fraught with scrutiny, challenges and potential pitfalls – especially when you come in as an outsider to the department and to the city and on top of that, when you're coming to it after 28 years on the Federal side.In this interview, you will hear just how well Chief Comeaux has navigated these waters. He has drawn on all of his experience to define his role, strengthen the department, reduce crime and successfully recruit. He has done it judiciously with keen insight, thoughtful decisions, and I would add, humor. We talk about what shaped him and his leadership style over the years. We discuss what drew him to law enforcement, and some memorable stories from patrol in Houston including the people he remembers and all those fights and foot chases. We cover his time with DEA and talk about the case he is most proud of; the challenges of working hundreds of miles of the Mexican border while in both Tucson and Houston; and his work navigating every drug epidemic over those 28 years, from crack to ecstasy, meth, opioids and now fentanyl.Thank you, Chief for a great interview and for taking the time. And thanks DPD Officer Joe King head of DPD's wellness unit and host of the podcast ATO Bridging the Divide for connecting me with Chief and allowing me to share Chief's story with my audience.

The barista course became unexpected collateral damage in the debate over NCEA, almost a synonym for easily acquired credits. But at Lynfield College in Auckland's Mt Roskill, Year 13 students Jayden, Ben, Cheyanne and Tristen say barista skills are a practical way to get hospo work while they make their way through apprenticeships or university.

Most people watch the Olympics and see the result. Chari Hawkins lived two and a half decades of work to get there, and almost didn't make it. I sit down with US Olympian and world-class heptathlete Chari Hawkins for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually takes to build mental toughness from scratch, compete at the highest level with a broken heart, and figure out who you are when the sport is no longer the whole answer.This is not a highlight reel conversation. Chari is honest about the panic attacks, the identity crises, the years of therapy, the breakdowns under a tent at track meets, and the visualization breakthrough that got her to the 2024 Paris Olympics. She's also sharp, curious, and deeply thoughtful about what sport teaches you about life, not the other way around. If you've ever had to do hard things while scared, this one is for you.What we explore:Why tying your identity to a single role, athlete, title, achievement, sets you up for a crisis the moment it ends.How Chari used a three-word visualization framework to silence the fear before the race that got her to Paris.Why mental toughness is not a personality trait, and what the actual work of building it looks like under pressure.What not winning a World Championship medal gave her that a podium finish never could have.How competition-day nutrition, breathwork, and sleep tools function as a performance system, and what happens when you get them wrong.Chapter:00:00 Intro01:35 Why Competing Can Disconnect You From Yourself10:56 Why She Chose the Heptathlon16:49 How to Learn New Skills Faster Than Everyone Else21:31 Sports Psychology Tools That Actually Work36:28 How to Support Someone After Failure49:25 The “See, Feel, Trust” Performance Technique01:00:10 Parenting, Discipline, and Mental Strength01:12:41 Peak Performance and Age in the Olympics01:24:05 Bouncing Back After a Devastating Moment01:34:46 What Losing Teaches You That Winning Can't01:36:54 What Athletes Eat on Competition Day01:47:08 Balancing Training, Recovery, and Performance01:51:05 A 30-Day Plan to Build Mental Strength02:00:22 Sprint Training Mindset and Workouts02:11:17 Overcoming Injury Fear and Recovery02:17:33 Sleep, Travel, and Mental Recovery Tools02:28:46 Future Goals and Final Lessons About Chari HawkinsChari Hawkins is a US Olympic heptathlete who competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics. One of the most mentally transparent athletes in track and field, she has spent over 20 years competing at the world-class level across seven events, from the 100 hurdles to the 800m, and has become as well known for her openness about the mental side of sport as she has for her performance. She is based in Utah and trains alongside her husband CJ, who serves as both her training partner and one of her closest sources of perspective.Connect with Chari HawkinsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_charihawkins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@_charihawkins TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_charihawkins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChariTrack X: https://x.com/_charihawkins Produced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
"The biggest mistake most business owners make is they don't even know who they want to target. If you can hone in exactly on your avatar, you're going to get way better results out of your marketing."Most entrepreneurs stumble because they don't understand who their ideal client really is — and they hire talent or craft messaging that's too broad to convert. Allan Khazak, founder and CEO of Vroom Media, shares how laser-targeting your niche can unlock predictable leads, boost growth, and turn scaling from chaos into clarity. He reveals the mindset shifts that transformed his marketing agency from a fledgling startup into a powerhouse in lead generation for financial advisors, real estate, and e-commerce. Whether you're just starting out or scaling an agency, Alan's insights are essential for anyone looking to turn ‘more clients' into ‘the right clients'.As You Listen: 0:00 - 3:55 Introduction and Background6:05 - 7:59 The Importance of Niching Down14:24 - 16:18 Hiring Challenges and Lessons11:38 - 13:32 Marketing Strategies and Channels16:58 - 17:53 Future Goals and Business Growth "Initially, you will be bad at hiring and you need to understand that, but it's like a muscle.

Life isn't about perfect programming or elite-level training. It's about building a sustainable approach that allows you to improve, stay consistent, and actually enjoy the process. We also highlight the role of fun, challenge, and camaraderie—because for most people, that's the missing piece. Training doesn't have to feel like a chore. When done right, it becomes something you look forward to. If you've been thinking about signing up for an event, or just want to train in a way that builds both strength and endurance without sacrificing your lifestyle, this episode will give you the perspective you need. Because the goal isn't just to finish the race— it's to build a lifestyle you can sustain long after it's over.

Poducer | The Podcast for Producers Jerry sits down with Ben Moskow (The Real Ones) to talk about independent media, podcasting, and the evolving creator economy. The conversation covers Ben's background in media, how The Real Ones started, the rise of Substack and newsletters, and what it takes to build sustainable independent platforms in an increasingly crowded media landscape. Ben Moskow Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ben.m/ Real Ones https://realonesshow.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@UC0pWzldmto6M2HTOYv8S6eg https://www.tiktok.com/@realonesshow Ben shares how The Real Ones grew out of a desire to document artists early in their careers and create space for deeper conversations outside the traditional press cycle. Jerry and Ben discuss the role independent media can play in music scenes, especially when smaller platforms highlight emerging artists and communities that larger outlets often overlook. The conversation also dives into the evolution of podcasting itself. What started as a grassroots medium where anyone could start a show has become a far more competitive space, particularly as celebrities and major public figures have entered the format. Jerry and Ben explore how that shift has changed the way audiences discover and engage with shows. They also discuss the broader creator ecosystem, including platforms like Substack and the growing interest in building direct relationships with audiences through newsletters and independent media channels. Toward the end, the conversation turns to the realities of sustaining independent projects today, from audience attention to the economics of building a platform that can last.

Open Tech Talks : Technology worth Talking| Blogging |Lifestyle
Over the last couple of years, most of my conversations around AI have been about capability. How fast models are improving. How agents are becoming more autonomous. How enterprises can adopt GenAI safely. How teams can redesign workflows around intelligence. But this week, I found myself thinking about something deeper. Not what AI can do. But what does AI cost? And I don't just mean money. I mean energy. I mean infrastructure. I mean the hidden assumptions underneath the current AI boom. Because when we talk about the future of AI, most people immediately jump to models, chips, data centers, agents, and software stacks. But as someone who works closely with organizations trying to operationalize AI in the real world, I keep coming back to a harder question: What happens when the current compute model itself becomes the bottleneck? This is not a question most teams are asking yet. But it is a question serious builders should start paying attention to. This week, while reviewing different enterprise AI patterns and thinking through long-term architecture choices, I realized that much of the current AI conversation still happens within the assumptions of silicon, scale, and software abstraction. But what if the next major shift is not a better model? What if it is a different computing substrate altogether? That's exactly why today's conversation is important. Because this episode is not about another AI app. It is not about another wrapper. It is not about another productivity layer. It is about something much more fundamental: What might come after silicon, and how should we think about it today?

How can patients receive more consistent interventional radiology care amid a national shortage of IR physicians? That question led Dr. Rick Daniels to develop a new outpatient practice model centered on recruiting independent IRs to provide long-term, fractional coverage for groups in need. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast hosted by Dr. Aaron Fritts, Dr. Daniels outlines the thinking behind this approach and how it aims to expand access to IR services in outpatient settings. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation examines the evolving landscape of IR practice, including the challenges associated with transitioning between practice settings and building sustainable outpatient service lines. Dr. Daniels walks through the development of his model, with particular attention to identifying and supporting outpatient embolization opportunities. The discussion also explores the consortium-style structure for independent IRs, emphasizing long-term alignment, professional autonomy, and scalability at a national level. Operational considerations such as technology partnerships, documentation workflows, and targeted marketing strategies offer a practical look at what it takes to make this model work. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:49 - Evolution of an Independent IR Practice05:30 - Challenges and Opportunities in Outpatient IR09:58 - Building Service Lines and Marketing Strategies18:34 - Forming a National IR Group25:21 - Balancing Business and Healthcare25:37 - Evaluating and Correcting Site Performance28:16 - Expanding Geographical Reach30:45 - Recruitment and Retention Challenges38:07 - The Importance of Tech-Doc Teams42:35 - Future Goals and Recruitment Efforts45:58 - Conclusion

Madison Liechty joins the Free Outside Podcast and we keep the promise of no hard questions for about five seconds. We talk about her very normal Montana childhood (no horses to school, sorry), how one turkey trot convinced her friend Makena Morley to start coaching her toward big marathon goals, and why the trail world, where you can eat bacon mid-race, ended up being a better fit.Follow Madison on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madison_liechtyThen it gets unexpectedly real.

Recorded live at CiderCon, this episode brings listeners into a rare, in-depth conversation about Chile's living cider tradition—one shaped by more than 450 years of apple fermentation, deep regional biodiversity, and community-based agriculture. Moderated by Eli Shanks, this panel features cider makers, cooperative leaders, and academics from southern Chile who explore how apples arrived, adapted, and endured across Araucanía, Los Ríos, and the Chiloé archipelago. Rather than a "new" cider movement, Chile offers something far rarer: a cider culture that never disappeared. At the heart of the discussion is Chicha—the traditional name for fermented apple beverages in Chile—and the cultural weight that language carries. Panelists unpack how Chicha and cider share the same roots, why heritage orchards matter, and what's at stake as aging farmers, development pressure, and climate change threaten seed-grown apple diversity. Listeners will also hear about: Heritage apple orchards over 100 years old, many grown from seed The role of women as primary stewards of orchards and biodiversity Native fermentation vessels made from Raulí and other Chilean woods Cooperative cider making on the island of Chiloé The challenges of valuing cider beyond "cheap, rural" perceptions The future of Chilean cider on the global stage, including education, competitions, and potential export This episode offers an essential perspective for anyone interested in cider as culture—not trend—and in how place, people, and history shape what ends up in the glass. Panelists & Contributors Eli Shanks – Co-founder, Punta de Fierro Fine Cider; Head Cider Maker, Western Cider Gicella – President, Cooperative Chilwe (Chiloé) René Galindo – Third-generation cider maker, Araucanía Carlos Flores – Co-founder, Punta de Fierro Fine Cider; Orchardist, Valdivia Fabián Lara – Cider & beer consultant; INDAP (Chilean Ministry of Agriculture) José Antonio Aldea – Professor and fermentation educator Key Themes Chilean cider and Chicha traditions Heritage apple orchards and seed-grown ecotypes Women's roles in orchard preservation Cooperative models and island agriculture Native materials and spontaneous fermentation Preserving cider culture in a changing landscape Timestamps ⏱️ Detailed timestamps are listed above to help you jump to specific topics, speakers, and cider discussions. 00:00 Introduction to Chicha and Cider 00:26 News Out and About Ciderville 00:43 Episode Overview: Chilean Cider Panel 03:30 Upcoming Events and Announcements 07:42 Introduction to the Chilean Panel 10:44 Chilean Cider Regions and History 16:11 Traditional Cider Making in Chile 18:11 Modern Chilean Cider and Future Prospects 20:16 Cider Tasting and Panel Discussion 29:32 Consumer Perception of Cider in Chile 30:07 Challenges and Efforts in Differentiation 30:34 Traditional and New World Ciders 31:13 Exciting Apple Varieties and Characteristics 32:19 Naming and Regional Varieties 35:40 Incorporating Local Fruits into Cider 38:09 Historical Context and Apple Lineages 41:47 Fire Blight and Disease Resistance 42:57 Modern vs. Traditional Cider Making 44:15 Collaborations with Winemakers 47:12 Preserving Heritage Apple Orchards 52:10 Forming a Cooperative in Chiloé 54:53 Market Development and Sales Strategies 57:03 Generational Gaps and Preservation Efforts 59:08 Future Goals and International Connections Support Cider Chat® If you value independent, long-form conversations that preserve cider history and amplify global voices, consider supporting Cider Chat® on Patreon.

There's a lot of noise in the investing world, but building wealth doesn't have to become a second job. In this episode, I share how to invest simply, consistently, and with your family's future in mind, without stress or constant decision-making. In today's episode, I sit down with Blake Edwards from Georgia, who has built an $865,000 net worth by age 31. Blake breaks down how intentional income growth, living below their means, and staying aligned as a couple helped accelerate their wealth. He also shares a transparent look at his family's assets, approach to generosity, and what generational wealth really means to him beyond the numbers. I wrap up with a Money Quiz, testing my son Calvin on Stranger Things revenue, compound interest, and the gap between race prizes and investment returns. If you want real-life inspiration and practical proof that calm, consistent investing works, even with a busy family and W-2 jobs, this episode will encourage you to stay the course and keep moving forward.
