The women in insurance cancer crusade, or WICC, is more than an insurance based charity, it is a purpose to change how we address cancer and support the fight against it. We had the pleasure to sit down with the current co-chairs and past chair to talk about it's origins, the stigma of cancer, and how it grew to be the most important charitable initiative in the insurance industry.In this episode:Why the importance 'women' in the history of WICC mattersThe journey of support for those with cancer in the insurance industry and beyondHow the organization became a national brand What the value is for donations and how contributions are managed so effectivelyHow the milestone of 30 years is just a startMarilyn, Garth and Amanda share their beliefs, passion and vision for WICC and how it makes an impact far beyond the insurance industry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this (Re-Release) episode Eric interviewed Garth Neufeld from Cascadia College in Bothell, WA. For Garth growing up in Canada, music and church were key; he also discusses parental inspirations including the first band name. Music, education, and international travel are important themes early and often. His entreprenurial spirit thrives from work ethic, bands, graduate school through to TIP-NW & www.sharedspaceforall.org.

A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "69 Come Sticks" (#894) Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show) Sponsors / Ad Reads Bart the Realtor / The Bart Marek Team: Opened with a host doing a "cool dude" character, then Bart called in. He said Central Florida real estate is having a rough, locked-up year because 30-year rates are near 7.25%. Cash buyers have the edge, and homes that have sat for a month or more have room to negotiate. His team is also doing a lot of estate, job-loss, and divorce sales. barttherealtor.com has cell numbers for Bart Marek and Crystal Vann. Bart has been a gold star sponsor for nearly 15 years. Seaz Nuts 2027 Tom & Dan Cruise: On the MSC Seashore out of Port Canaveral, with stops in Nassau and Ocean Cay. Interior staterooms start at $1,200 for two and include Wi-Fi, in-room breakfast, and a premium drink package (15 drinks a day). There will be a live broadcast and the Mediocre Idol karaoke contest. Deposits at tomanddancruise2027.com. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com): Studio sponsor, also named as a cruise sponsor. Trail of Terror "Sweet 16": At Peghorn Nature Preserve in St. Cloud, six dates only. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, via the zombie girl link on TomandDan.com. Supported by Experience Kissimmee and Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital. Modern Plumbing Industries (modernpi.com): Mention Tom & Dan for 10% off. The read included a listener story about a sewer backup coming up a shower drain. They cover all Central Florida counties, residential and industrial, including cast iron pipe relining. My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com): A quick drop-in plug during the Method Man TRT joke. Cruise sponsors: justcallmoe.com, Empire Spot Fireworks, Celery City Craft, Villain Coffee / Villain Roasters. Segment Rundown Cold open: cool dude character. The Bart ad read was framed around a revived "cool dude" character that Bart likes. Afterward the hosts argued over how to sign off after a sponsor read. Cruise update: $20 bump. Dan debuted a new "Yachty" sound effect. The first block of balcony cabins sold out, and Tony from Ahoy Cruises got a second block at $20 more, which he was angry about for the listeners' sake. Inside cabins are still at the original price, but another block could cost more. Deposits are fully refundable until a couple of months before sailing. The hosts mocked anyone who cancels. Falcons and Garth tonight. Tom was still wound up after the Falcons game, where a rough first quarter gave way to a strong performance. Moe DeWitt invited the crew, Ross included, to the Garth Brooks show at the Kia Center that night. They joked about how many people dropped out before Tom and Dan got invited, and guessed Buzz Stecker would skip it. Crystal had been playing Garth's greatest hits on Amazon Music (the audio quality got panned), and a host's daughter caught him in "Garth mode." Favorites included "Callin' Baton Rouge" and "Friends in Low Places." Billionaire musicians quiz. A report that Garth considered selling his catalog, valued around $2 billion, led into a guessing game about the six billionaire musicians. The crew landed Jay-Z, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. Rihanna got an asterisk because most of her money comes from her cosmetics line. Ross also floated "A billion is a lot" as a T-shirt. Chris Gaines deep dive. Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole: Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog. The album was meant to set up a movie called The Lamb, a thriller about a fan trying to prove Gaines was murdered. The character was written as a sex addict, and Garth would have needed an Australian accent. The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit. The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad. The hosts compared the idea to Borat and to found-footage horror. A host remembered seeing a found-footage film at the Enzian with its UCF filmmakers and believing it was real. Caller Cara: nanny stories. Cara was a nanny for a top makeup artist who worked with Garth, Faith Hill, Reba and others. She said Garth's team went along with the Gaines look because nobody told him no. She lived on the artist's property in her early 20s and fried okra and chicken at Faith Hill's Southern-style baby shower. The artist's husband played in Barbara Mandrell's band. The hosts brought up Tom's childhood nanny again. They also recalled the Gaines album ending up in bargain bins once record stores over-ordered. Garth, music rights, and yes-men. Garth fought used-CD stores in 1995, resisted iTunes, and launched his own download service, GhostTunes, later absorbed into Amazon Music. The hosts roasted his naming choices: GhostTunes, The Lamb, a fake Gaines album called "Fornicopia," and his production company Red Strokes. Tom created the "Castleberry Garth" bit about rich stars who won't take notes from employees. Claims from a 2013 lawsuit by an ex-business partner: Garth supposedly passed on Twister (the Helen Hunt role) and Saving Private Ryan to avoid sharing the spotlight. His Padres spring training stint was for charity (a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs), not a real tryout. Dan admitted arguing with Claude about it before conceding. Pre-internet news coverage made stunts like this confusing. Caller Charles: concert parking. BDM Charles was taking his wife to the Garth show for their 23rd anniversary and asked for parking tips. The hosts first gave joke advice: tip a random guy in a construction vest to valet your car. Then came real tips about the Kia Center lots and a gate most people don't know about. Dan's partner Andrea has a secret back-alley parking route. The crew planned crispy tavern-style pizza downtown and Uber rides home. Ross's Uber nightmare. After Wu-Tang Clan at the MidFlorida amphitheater in Tampa, Ross and his wife could see their Hard Rock hotel balcony but had I-4 in the way. Rideshare signs led them nowhere, and the app's pickup point was a slab of concrete in an empty fairgrounds field. The driver stayed in a different lot and stopped answering, while black SUVs kept offering rides. They ended up walking toward a distant Hampton Inn. Chat and hosts piled on about Uber's decline (rider-rating filtering, cancellations) and a Waymo that got stuck in traffic. Break: ska block. The Family Business Limited's "Still a Jamaican" (new album out today) and the Barstool Preachers' "Want to Know" (pick of the week), followed by the Trail of Terror read. Oviedo e-bike arrest. A News 6 clip covered an 11-year-old in Oviedo who got a written arrest for riding a Sur-Ron-style electric dirt bike near Sweetwater Park. He bought it with $900 from selling squirrel picnic tables. The charges were an unregistered vehicle, no insurance, no motorcycle endorsement, and no eye protection. His father called it an overreach, and the boy will miss school for court. Tom recalled his brother getting a written arrest for riding a dirt bike on the street. Officer interview: e-bike law. A BDM police officer (name unclear in the transcript) called in: The crackdown follows a wave of crashes and kids getting hurt, plus newer statutes that classify e-bikes. With working pedals it's a bicycle. With the pedals removed it's a motor vehicle. Fake pedals may get riders by some officers. Enforcement is at the officer's discretion: a civil infraction with a misdemeanor consequence. Registering a Sur-Ron takes blinkers, lights, and a plate. Dan's old scooter has only an antique tag. Stand-up scooters are speed-regulated, and OneWheels are unregulated. You can get a DUI on anything motorized. Adults can be charged for letting an unlicensed minor drive. Traffic court has a hearing officer, not prosecutors. Seminole County is stricter than Orange. Afterward the hosts wondered how their Miami friend Turkey Leg, who rides one, would react. Wu-Tang concert recap. Ross described the night: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony opened with medleys, including an Eazy-E tribute and a Biggie and Tupac tribute. RZA gave a spoken history of the group, then the set ran through 36 Chambers material and solo spots for Method Man, Ghostface, Raekwon, Cappadonna, and a Mobb Deep member. Method Man showed off his physique and hair, which set up the TRT joke. There was a memorial tribute to late rappers. The reveal: ODB's parts were performed by his son, Young Dirty Bastard. His mother tried to steer him away from music, and RZA didn't cast him in the American Saga series. The hosts traded ODB stories and tried, unsuccessfully, to play a TRL clip. Seacrest and aging. A host's parents cut cable and now use an antenna for NFL games, which means catching Ryan Seacrest on Wheel of Fortune. The crew discussed Seacrest's changed face, weight loss versus cosmetic work, and his frosted tips at his age. Vanna White came up too. Tom said he's getting gray streaks and would dye his hair, which got jokes about jet-black "magician hair." Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Nathan Fielder's secretive Holmes documentary screened at a festival with breathless reviews but no specifics. It's rated R for graphic nudity. The leading theory was that it includes a childbirth video. The crew expected a three-hour absurdist art piece and joked about betting on its reception on Kalshi. They noted a trailer scene where her husband takes the whisk from her while she's making eggs. Ross's theory: the story turns to Holmes cheating on him. That led to a tangent on Italian brainrot videos, Skibidi Toilet being over, "6-7," and how much Fortnite has changed. Break: pop punk block. Rivals' "Adrenaline Rush," the Modern PI read, and Cartel. "Mother of the Year" video. In a viral Giants broadcast clip, a mom juggles a baby, a carrier, and stacks of food and drinks back to her seat while her husband sits idle, and the announcers roast him. Tom defended the dad, saying partners who don't ask for help end up making the other person look bad. The others ribbed him for how he phrased it. Dan described Andrea handing off their daughter at Magic and Orlando City games so she could take a break. Ross offered a gentler defense, citing $25 concert beers and sending his wife to the beer tent. Dan shared Andrea's backhanded compliment that she's glad he drinks less, but "even this one scares me." Dripstick product. Ross got a targeted ad after Monday's cruise talk about tampons. The product is Awkward Essentials' Dripstick, a post-sex sponge applicator. The hosts read the instructions, then argued at length about hygiene and peeing after sex. Dan explained his cleanup routine, and Tom compared it to cleaning a paint sprayer or a beer line. The product's FAQ recommends peeing afterward anyway. The punchline was a "69 for $69" deal, which gave the episode its title, plus a joke return address on the "discreet packaging." Caller Toad King. Last call of the day: a crude one-liner about the post-sex topic, with nothing substantive. Tom's crazy fact: snakebites. The US averages about 5 snakebite deaths a year, and Tom asked the crew to guess India's number. The answer is about 58,000, mostly rural. The crew discussed the colonial snake-bounty story (often called an urban legend), India's "big four" venomous snakes, the Monsters of God documentary, and a story about someone stealing a nearly extinct tortoise breeding population. Plugs and wrap. Ross plugged The Orlando Talk Show and the Moe Comedy Jam. The cruise price increase got a reminder, and they announced Villain Roasters' new location with a possible Tom & Dan chicken-and-waffle item and a meetup.

In this episode Garth interviews Theodore Burnes from the University of Southern California Rossier in Los Angeles, CA. Theo is a California-licensed clinical psychologist and licensed professional clinical counselor who teaches in a master's program, maintains a small Los Angeles private practice, and has worked with LGBTQ-spectrum youth since 2004. They discuss evolving language around sexual orientation and gender, why fixed categories can feel outdated or non-inclusive for many young people, and the current challenges youth face finding supportive spaces. He emphasizes educators' responsibility to create safe classrooms for introspection and difficult conversations, suggesting instructors start small by integrating sexuality and gender content across topics like development. He describes writing his textbook Human Sexuality: A Well-Being Approach, a seven-year project intended to be more culturally inclusive, and highlights instructor guides, teaching notes, and Sage Vantage videos and activities. Theo shares a portfolio-based assignment involving experiential learning and reflects on how clinical skills inform facilitative teaching, along with his involvement in APA divisions, including Division 44.

Hi, welcome back everyone to Everymum the podcast, I'm Aisling Keenan. Today's guest is Dr Garth Graham, a doctor and public health expert who is the Global Head of Health at YouTube, where he leads the platform's work around health information, wellbeing and making sure people can find credible, useful information online. He's also a dad of four, which is particularly relevant to today's conversation because we're talking about one of the biggest challenges facing parents right now: how do we raise healthy, happy children in a world where screens and the internet are simply part of everyday life? We talked about the rise of health influencers and the problem of misinformation online, including what happens when a health myth or conspiracy suddenly takes off, and how YouTube responds. We got into the responsibility that comes with running a platform used by billions of people, particularly when it comes to children and teenagers, and where that responsibility ends and the responsibility of parents begins. But we also brought it right back to family life. Garth talked about the rules he has around technology in his own home, whether his children challenge them, and whether being a dad has actually changed the way he thinks about children, technology and wellbeing professionally. We talked about parental hypocrisy… because how can we tell our children to get off their screens when we're permanently attached to ours?, and the enormous amount of guilt parents can feel around screen time, particularly when a screen is sometimes the only thing standing between you and getting dinner made or having five minutes of peace. And we got into what healthy screen use actually looks like, whether all screen time is equal, and perhaps most importantly, whether instead of simply trying to ban things, we should be teaching our children how to navigate the digital world for themselves. It's a really practical conversation about screens, safety, parenting, technology and finding a version of “good enough” that actually works in real family life. Here's my chat with Dr Graham, I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
SummaryThere is a version of kindness that gets mistaken for softness. Joanna Povall spent this conversation dismantling it.As Principal of Wales International School in Abu Dhabi and author of Kind Leadership, Joanna has built her framework, CHASE, around a claim that runs against the grain of most leadership advice: that communication, honesty, accountability, self esteem, and ego management are not the gentle parts of leading a school. They are the demanding parts. Garth and I talked with her about the difference between being kind and being nice, why the hardest conversations are often the kindest ones, and what it actually takes to keep your ego out of the way of your people.What stayed with us was her honesty about failure. Joanna does not treat vulnerability as a leadership technique. She treats it as the price of admission for trust. That distinction matters, especially for leaders who have learned to perform confidence rather than build it.This is a conversation for anyone who has ever wondered whether being kind and being taken seriously can coexist. Joanna makes the case, convincingly, that they have to.Chapters00:00 introduction to kind leadership and guest Joanna Povall04:08 Garth and Jason introduce the season and the theme of beyond believe05:01 the inspiration behind the book Kind Leadership06:24 Joanna's personal journey and her motivation for writing it08:52 the difference between kindness and niceness in leadership09:48 having difficult conversations without losing the kindness11:17 addressing the misconception that kindness means weakness12:44 the CHASE framework, communication, honesty, accountability, self esteem, ego14:43 how the framework evolved and the role shame and ego play in leadership16:42 advice for new leaders on starting with kindness and self awareness19:38 the value of vulnerability and sharing your own failures22:55 Ted Lasso as a working model of kind leadership24:20 why kind leadership is so often underestimated25:58 where to find Joanna's work and closing thoughtsKey TakeawaysKind is not nice. Joanna draws a clear line between the two. Niceness avoids conflict. Kindness walks toward it, with honesty and care, because the people on the other side of a hard conversation deserve the truth delivered well.Ego is the quiet saboteur. The CHASE framework treats ego management as its own discipline, not an afterthought. Leaders who keep it in check make room for their teams to succeed without needing credit for it.Vulnerability builds the trust that authority cannot. Admitting mistakes openly, Joanna argues, does more for a school's culture than any policy or mission statement. It shows people that the standard being asked of them is one the leader holds for herself first.Quotes"He has zero ego and is humble in success.""Ted Lasso embodies the CHASE framework perfectly.""People underestimate kind leadership because of its lack of ego."Find Kind Leadership: Leading Schools with Empathy, Honesty and Impact wherever books are sold, and follow Joanna Povall's work through Wales International School and the COBIS network.
Author AW Hammond returns to the podcast just before his latest novel Penitent is released to discuss one of his favourite movies Se7en starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow and THAT guy. Hammo has also brought along Garth Jones to chat about this film, their first encounters, the impact it had back in the day, how it has grown since and more. Hammo even wrote an essay for his Substack about how his favourite character has changed since he first saw the film in 1995.

Send us Fan MailOn September 11, 2026—the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001—Garth Brooks performed at Chicago's Allstate Arena. During the concert, he paused the celebration to acknowledge the significance of the day and shared something Deb hadn't remembered: Garth was in New York City on September 11, 2001.In this episode, Deb talks about Garth's memories of that day, including seeing tanks on the streets of New York and turning on the radio only to hear his own song, “We Shall Be Free.” Garth explained that from that moment forward, the song meant something different to him.Deb explores how that can happen for us as fans, too. The recording doesn't change—but sometimes our experiences completely change what we hear in a song.She also looks at three songs Garth performed during the Chicago concert and the message they take on when considered together:
A country song debuts at number one and the writer's first reaction is, “How is that possible?” That's where we start with our good buddy Billy Montana as we return to Nashville for round two and unpack the story behind “More Than a Memory” the Garth Brooks comeback single that became the first-ever #1 debut in Billboard country chart history.We talk through what the rollout looked like from the inside: the built-up anticipation at country radio, major market stations hammering the record, and the strange feeling of celebrating a chart moment that Billy still wants to know is “legit.” Billy shares what Garth said at the number one party, why the song then had to “prove” itself with real listeners, and how it dropped and climbed in a way that still kept it in the top ten.
SUMMARYIn this episode, Garth and Jason sit with the themes of kind leadership, trust, and mental health in education. Drawing on insights from Joanna Povall's book, Kind Leadership: Leading Schools with Empathy, Honesty and Impact, the conversation moves from communication and honesty through to ego and humility, with a preview of upcoming conferences and speakers worth watching this season.KEYWORDSleadership, kindness, mental health, education, trust, communication, self awareness, conflict, organizational cultureKEY TOPICS- The concept of chasing kindness in leadership- Strategies for building trust and trustworthiness- The role of communication and honesty in leadership- Managing ego and humility for effective leadership- The importance of mental health and well being in schools- The structure and insights of Joanna Povall's book, Kind Leadership: Leading Schools with Empathy, Honesty and Impact- The concept of warm conflict and its application in leadership teams- Epic fails and lessons in leadership humilitySOUND BITES"Trust is not easy to gain, but very easy to lose.""Admitting when you're wrong builds trust.""Being clear is to be kind."CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to Season Four and Beyond Believe Theme04:47 Why Beyond Believe Matters in Leadership06:06 Upcoming Conferences and Key Speakers08:30 Joanna Povall's Book: Leading Schools with Empathy09:16 Chasing Kindness Framework: Communication to Ego11:14 Building Trust Through Honest Communication13:24 Reflection and Accountability in Leadership16:00 Epic Fails and Learning Moments17:18 Kindness as a Leadership Strength19:10 Closing Remarks and Next Steps
Join us for our weekly discussion of America's favorite black rifle: The AR-15! This week Dooley's dusting off the long range rifles and trying to remember which end the bullet comes out of after a summer of neglect. Joe's back from the Area 3 USPSA match with stories, scores, and the usual post-match analysis that somehow always involves what he should have done differently. And Garth… well, Garth is being Garth. Will Dooley actually get those rifles dialed in before the next season starts? Did Joe leave any steel standing? How many times will Garth interrupt with something completely unrelated? All this and more on this week's episode of the AR-15 Podcast.

Joey admitted he accidentally mixed medications again and warned everyone that if he said anything weird on the show, he was blaming the medicine. Nancy shared that her family has moved into their son's room during their home renovation. The move uncovered a stockpile of hidden snacks, drinks, and food stashed all over Ben's room. The show talked about drive-thru accuracy, with Chick-fil-A ranking near the top and Taco Bell near the bottom. Joey also shared a story about a Sonic employee offering to "smell" drinks to figure out which one was diet. Monday Morning Wake-Up Call with 9-year-old Carter Joey realized he's a little codependent after getting excited about introducing his kids to Cocoa Wheats, only to have one son change his mind about liking it the very next day. Hot Tea: Nashville's airport is moving closer to being renamed after Dolly Parton. Judge Judy is retiring from her courtroom show. Officials say the nationwide Cyclospora lettuce outbreak is finally over. The Tennessee Valley Fair inspired another round of "Wheel of Fair Workers," with Joey and Nancy pretending to be turkey leg salespeople, pig race announcers, funhouse workers, and demolition derby hosts. Fat Bear Week is almost here, leading listeners to share names for neighborhood animals, including George Clooney the raccoon, Chonky the groundhog, and Martin the mallard. Lucky 7 for $50 to the Diner at Twisters. Joey spent part of the morning doing an over-the-top Garth Brooks impression while reading tour quotes and imagining how Garth would announce a Knoxville concert. Nancy completed her barrel racing redemption at the rodeo, ran the correct pattern, avoided knocking over barrels, and got emotional seeing how proud her family was afterward. Karly admitted she hates rodeos, especially the calf roping events, while Joey's boys were mostly entertained by watching the animals. The show wrapped up talking about the demolished O'Charley's in Turkey Creek and how much that area of Knoxville continues to change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Monday Morning Wake-Up Call with 9-year-old Carter Joey realized he's a little codependent after getting excited about introducing his kids to Cocoa Wheats, only to have one son change his mind about liking it the very next day. Hot Tea: Nashville's airport is moving closer to being renamed after Dolly Parton. Judge Judy is retiring from her courtroom show. Officials say the nationwide Cyclospora lettuce outbreak is finally over. The Tennessee Valley Fair inspired another round of "Wheel of Fair Workers," with Joey and Nancy pretending to be turkey leg salespeople, pig race announcers, funhouse workers, and demolition derby hosts. Fat Bear Week is almost here, leading listeners to share names for neighborhood animals, including George Clooney the raccoon, Chonky the groundhog, and Martin the mallard. Lucky 7 for $50 to the Diner at Twisters. Joey spent part of the morning doing an over-the-top Garth Brooks impression while reading tour quotes and imagining how Garth would announce a Knoxville concert. Nancy completed her barrel racing redemption at the rodeo, ran the correct pattern, avoided knocking over barrels, and got emotional seeing how proud her family was afterward. Karly admitted she hates rodeos, especially the calf roping events, while Joey's boys were mostly entertained by watching the animals. The show wrapped up talking about the demolished O'Charley's in Turkey Creek and how much that area of Knoxville continues to change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Troubled LIV Golf finally filed its long-awaited Chapter 11 bankruptcy paperwork on Tuesday in a New Jersey court. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy attempts to restructure the company’s debts but also allows the entity to continue operations. Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings usually signal the white flag of financial surrender. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) spent upwards of $6 billion to sign PGA golf stars and then bankroll dozens of worldwide golf events over the past five years. Saudi’s PIF finally decided to turn-off the money-printing machine operated by LIV Golf at the end of August. This upstart golf league is now desperately shaking the financial bushes in search of new sources of financing. They want to re-launch the golf league in 2027 as LIV Golf 2.0. After the Saudi PIF announced it was pulling the financial plug in late August, LIV Golf appointed some new executives to its board. Their resumes are filled with corporate restructuring experience. They truly have their work cut out for them. Eugene Davis is one of the new leaders. He is CEO of privately-held Pirinate Consulting Group which specializes in corporate turnarounds. LIV Golf named the 71-year old Davis as its Chairman of the Independent Directors Committee a few months ago. You will find his name listed all over this week’s LIV Golf Chapter 11 filing. Davis said in April, 2026, “LIV Golf…has built a global league with passionate fans, world-class talent, and demonstrated commercial momentum.” His new management team is intent on launching LIV 2.0 in 2027. Maybe. In order to begin LIV 2.0, “Classic” LIV Golf has a lot of debtors to settle-up with Tuesday’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing (click here to read the actual document) listed LIV Golf’s assets of “more than $100 million but less than $500 million.” Liabilities showed “more than $500 million but less than $1 billion” due its creditors. Let’s take the worst case. Assume LIV Golf has $100 million in assets but nearly $1 billion in liabilities. That means that creditors might receive (perhaps) 10 cents on the dollar in value. That value won’t necessarily be in cash, either. Some creditors may receive a proportionate share of the ownership in a newly emerging golf entity. Nearly half of the top 30 creditors owed the most money by LIV Golf are, indeed, the golfers. All seven of the top names on the IOU list are LIV golfers: Jon Rahm – $7.5 million Bryson DeChambeau – $5.8 million Dustin Johnson – $5.5 million Cam Smith – $4.8 million Adrian Meronk – $4.4 million Tyrell Hatton – $3.4 million Bubba Watson – $3.3 million Other golfers owed big money by “Classic” LIV are: Abraham Ancer (9) – $2.7 million Ben An (10) – $1.8 million Brooks Koepka (12) – $1.7 million Caleb Surratt (17) – $1.3 million Joaquin Niemann (18) – $1.3 million Lucas Herbert (24) – $1 million Tom McKibbin (27) – $1 million These IOU’s for these 14 golfers appeared under the heading “Player Participation Agreement.” LIV Golf signed most of its pro golfers from either the PGA Tour or the DP (European) Tour. Their individual contracts are quite private. The “Player Participation Agreement” likely requires each LIV golfer to tee it up in each of LIV Golf’s events during the season. Brooks Keopka (#12 on the IOU list at $1.7 mm) negotiated an exit from LIV Golf after the 2025 golf season and returned to the PGA Tour in 2026. Perhaps Koepka’s exit agreement from LIV Golf may have included some form of deferred compensation which was to be paid in 2026 or a future year. For Jon Rahm (who signed with LIV Golf for $300 million) and Bryson DeChambeau ($125 million), the remaining money owed to each of them in this bankruptcy filing (though significant) is a relatively small percentage of their original packages. Not all golfers signed by LIV Golf became filthy rich For some like Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin ($1 million due), that amount owned by LIV Golf is a significant percentage of his estimated $5 million contract. McKibbin told reporters recently that he remains under his LIV Golf contract “for a few more years.” Tom McKibbin and several other LIV golfers have begun participating on the DP World Tour this fall while waiting on LIV Golf’s restructuring. He (and several other LIV golfers including former World #1 ranked Jon Rahm) will be forced to make a decision soon. The DP World Tour announced that it will not allow LIV Golf players to play on both tours beginning in 2027. Golfers must choose one league and stick with it for the entire season. LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing may nudge some players like Tom McKibbin to cut their losses and return to the lower-paying but more financially secure DP World Tour in 2027. Where was Phil Mickelson’s name in this filing? The list of top 30 creditors in LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing did not mention Phil Mickelson. He became LIV’s first big name star to bolt from the PGA Tour and join LIV Golf in 2022. His contract with the new golf league was reportedly worth $200 million. Lefty participated on the LIV Golf Tour for the league’s first four seasons ending in 2025. Phil Mickelson’s contractual obligations to LIV Golf may have ended at that time. He did not play in LIV Golf events during 2026 due to an ongoing medical issue involving a close family member. Welcome to the LIV Golf bankruptcy filing, Louisiana! Another notable party owed a significant amount of money is the State of Louisiana (#20 at $1.22 million). LIV Golf was originally slated to play a golf tournament beginning June 25 at the newly renovated City Park golf course in New Orleans. A local television station reported that City Park had received $2 million in state government funding to upgrade its golf course and facilities ahead of the proposed LIV Golf event. Another $1 million was reportedly advanced to LIV Golf by the state as part of the deal. The New Orleans LIV Golf event was postponed in late April with no reasons given. There had been speculation that LIV Golf was attempting to reschedule the tournament for this fall. After Tuesday’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, there is a zero percent chance that LIV Golf will be hosting an event in New Orleans this fall. What else was contained in the LIV Golf Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing? Tuesday’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing told a lot about LIV Golf’s financial pickle. I was surprised to see that the Saudi PIF was willing to loan nearly $50 million to LIV Golf (as Debtor in Possession). That money should be used to help LIV Golf stay afloat for a few more months as the entity tries to acquire and implement new sources of funding. According to bankruptcy rules, the “Debtor in Possession” is expected to be paid back first. There were an amazing 56 different LIV Golf corporate entities listed on the bankruptcy filing. Those names included seven which began with the term “LIV Golf” (such as LIV Golf Inc., Holdings, Ltd., Investments, and Events). Another group of eight entities began with the golf term “Wedge” (clever, eh?). Then there were 13 different consecutively-numbered entities such as “FAIRWAY TM BLOCKER 1, LLC”. Another 13 LIV entities used consecutively-numbered names such as “FAIRWAY TM INTERMEDIATE 1, LLC” on the bankruptcy filing. Speaking of the number 13, LIV Golf conducted exactly 13 tournaments in 2026. Does each tournament have its own separate corporate entities to account for tournament revenues and expenses? LIV Golf’s corporate structure made me wonder if they had planned for a possible future financial failure (bankruptcy) from the very beginning. What’s next for LIV Golf? Tuesday’s LIV Golf bankruptcy filing also contained information confirming the identity of at least one new source of future funding. Private equity company BC Partners is willing to invest up to $300 million if LIV Golf 2.0 gets off the ground in 2027. Keep in mind that the Saudi Public Investment Fund lost about $1 billion per year with LIV Golf. LIV 2.0 will need to drastically cut its tournament payouts and other operating expenses by more than 50% for the new investor(s) to have a chance of becoming successful. LIV Golf’s ever-optimistic CEO Scott O’Neil wrote on Tuesday, “The next phase of LIV Golf will be built around a sustainable business model and deeper alignment between the players and the League, with team golf at its core.” His press release mentioned LIV 2.0 would expand to 75 players next year and introduce a cut line during each event. Expect to hear the same on-course thumping music blaring again in 2027, too. Party on, Garth! The CEO is proud that LIV Golf’s average audience is about 20 years younger than the PGA Tour’s Medicare-aged viewers. LIV Golf deserves credit for admitting children under 12 years of age free of charge into its golf tournaments. Scott O’Neil is paid handsomely to speak lovingly about his golf product. File this away The truth remains that LIV’s worldwide golf events played across vastly different time zones makes for a very difficult television sell to US-based advertisers. LIV Golf’s lack of a consistent weekly TV starting time and weekly TV channel in the US (yes, I’m talking to you, FOX Sports) makes it hard to imagine how this league will earn enough revenue to turn the financial corner. As mentioned in a previous post, keep your eye on top LIV golfer Jon Rahm this fall. If he bolts to play in the DP World Tour in 2027, a massive exodus of top LIV Golf talent will follow. LIV “lives” – at least for now! The post LIV Golf Files Chapter 11 – The End or the Next Chapter? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.
In this episode Garth interviewed Kendra Thomas from Hope College in Holland, MI. Kendra discusses her applied developmental and educational psychology research in under-resourced public schools in Brazil and with the iThemba Projects nonprofit in South Africa. She explains the challenges of collecting valid cross-cultural data, emphasizing short, context-appropriate measures built with practitioners and designed to provide immediate value (e.g., school safety, home-visit frequency, HIV misconceptions). She discusses defining and measuring "hope" across contexts, including building measures simultaneously in English, Zulu, and Portuguese, and notes how imported measures can fail (e.g., social responsibility reading as compliance). Kendra also describes becoming Kathleen Berger's textbook co-author via chapter reviews, managing time with leave and reduced load, and teaching a "developmental imagination" through five maxims. She shares her Brazil-to-U.S. educational path and teaching-focused career trajectory. [Note. Portions of the show notes were generated by Descript AI.]
SummaryWe have spent three seasons building this podcast around a simple bet: that a sitcom about a losing football club could teach us something true about leading schools. Season Four asks a harder question than the ones we started with. Not whether to believe. What to do once belief is not enough on its own.That is the idea behind Beyond Believe, and it framed everything Garth and I talked about in this launch episode. We opened by looking back at how the podcast itself has evolved, then turned to what sustainable leadership actually requires day to day. Garth walked through his own practices, including the listening tours he uses to keep his read on an organization honest rather than assumed. We introduced Rocket Fuel and the visionary integrator model as a lens for balancing big picture thinking with the follow through that makes it real.We also previewed the mental health summit coming to Banff, including the keynote speakers and themes we are most looking forward to, because sustaining leadership is not just a strategy question. It is a personal one too.From there we went back to Ted Lasso itself, tracing how Season Four handles women in sports and empowerment, and what it shows us about mentoring relationships and knowing when someone is ready to lead without you. We closed on a question worth sitting with: should an organization adapt to the people already in it, or expect those people to adapt to it? Ted's answer, and ours, is that he moves slowly toward his team. He does not wait for them to come to him.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Season 4 of Ted Lasso and Leadership Themes03:50 Hosts Discuss the Evolution of the Podcast and New Season Focus05:12 Theme of Beyond Believe: Moving from Belief to Strategy and Culture06:01 Building Sustainable Leadership Practices in Education07:00 Garth Shares His Practices for Sustainability and Listening Tours09:00 Introduction to Rocket Fuel and Visionary Integration Leadership10:33 Upcoming Mental Health Summit in Banff and Key Speakers12:50 Highlights of Keynote Speakers and Topics at the Summit18:56 Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso: Women in Sports and Empowerment20:47 Mentoring Relationships and Recognizing Readiness to Lead23:55 Adapting Leadership to Team and Organizational Needs26:56 Ted Lasso's Social Dynamics and Leadership Insights27:59 Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Season HighlightsKey TakeawaysBeyond Believe marks a shift for the podcast and for the season, moving from the case for believing in something to the harder work of building strategy and culture around that belief.Sustainable leadership is a practice, not a personality trait. Listening tours, in particular, keep a leader's understanding of their organization grounded in what people are actually experiencing rather than what a leader assumes.The visionary integrator model, drawn from Rocket Fuel, offers a useful way to think about pairing big picture leadership with the operational discipline needed to carry it out.Mentoring is not just about developing someone. It is about recognizing the moment they are ready to lead without you, and having the humility to let them.Adaptability cuts both ways. The real question for any leader is whether the organization should adapt to the people in it or expect those people to adapt to it, and Ted Lasso comes down clearly on the side of moving toward your team.Mental health is not separate from leadership sustainability. It is a foundation for it, which is part of why the upcoming Banff summit matters to this work.Sound Bites"Leadership is about recognizing when your mentee is ready to go on their own.""Should our organization adapt to us or to them?""Ted slowly moves towards his team, not expecting them to come to him."Keep Leading the Lasso Way.

Everyone's seen the demos. but we wanted to know whats under the shell. So Scott, Shaun and Garth sat down with Glidance founder Amos Miller and went straight into the tech stack — cameras, cost maps, three motors, the lot. What comes out is a much better story than "AI mobility device". It's a story about deliberately NOT using AI where thirty years of boring, reliable robotics already works, and saving the clever stuff for the one problem it's actually good at.

It's been far too long since one of our favorite guests, Garth Nix, has visited us on Coode Street, but with the forthcoming publication of his adult science fiction novel, Massif, it's a great opportunity to catch up with one of the world's leading fantasists. We talk about the different challenges of writing SF or fantasy, how his own military experience informs some key parts of the novel, and how he came up with an entire mountain range flying off into space, nine foot tall hamster-like aliens whose drumming can be dangerous, and a far-future space crew limited to technologies like typewriters and shotguns. We also touch upon Garth's ongoing work, such as The Left-Handed Booksellers of London series, and, as always, what books and authors he's been reading.

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker investigate a mysterious T's Coffee Talk mug, which leads into Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, country music fandom, celebrity marriage rumors, and a very funny misunderstanding about which public divorce they are actually discussing. JJ also makes the case for Garth Brooks as one of the great live entertainers, from affordable ticket prices and stadium shows to "Friends in Low Places," Chris Gaines, and memorable Saturday Night Live sketches. The second half of the conversation focuses on the public split between Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky, why fans project onto famous couples, and how divorce changes friend groups, social dynamics, and people's views of marriage. JJ and Tucker also talk about dating apps, dating scams, coffee dates, fake Garth Brooks love songs, and the possibility of Tucker's last first date.

Denise Garth: The Frontier Insurer, One Year In Denise Garth returns to Scouting for Growth one year after the Frontier Firm idea began to move from a strategic aspiration into insurer operating models, technology roadmaps, and boardroom priorities. As Chief Strategy Officer at Majesco, Denise offers a sharper test for the Frontier Insurer: Is the organization simply using AI? Is it redesigning selected processes around AI? Or is it rebuilding the enterprise around intelligence, connecting its data, core platforms, people, partners, and decisions? Only the third represents genuine transformation. The uncomfortable truth is that most carriers now have AI enthusiasm, pilots, and isolated productivity gains. Far fewer have the intelligent core, embedded governance, and human-agent operating model required to scale them. Majesco's research captures the disconnect: 82% of insurance leaders believe AI will define the industry's future, yet only 14% have integrated it into their operations. Sabine and Denise explore what has changed over the past twelve months, why intelligent orchestration now matters more than another point solution, and how insurers can move from experimentation towards a genuinely redefined operating model. The conversation is for insurance CEOs, COOs, CROs, CDOs, transformation leaders, and technology founders navigating the move from AI experimentation to an intelligent, governable operating model. KEY TAKEAWAYS One year on, I see the conversation around AI in insurance moving from “What is this technology?” to a much more consequential question: “What does this mean for the business?” The 82%-14% gap tells us that the challenge is no longer access to technology. It is leadership. Most insurers are experimenting, but experimentation alone will not create a Frontier Insurer. The real opportunity is to rethink the business around the outcomes we want to create for customers, employees, and shareholders. I also believe we need to stop thinking about AI as something we bolt onto existing workflows. The Frontier Insurer embeds intelligence into its core, connects high-quality, accessible data with workflows and agents, and builds governance and auditability into its architecture. This changes what people actually do. Claims professionals can move from repetitive adjustment towards risk reduction and customer empathy; underwriters can become more focused on portfolio management and judgment; and employees can spend more time on knowledge-based work rather than manual processing. The biggest shift, however, is towards orchestration. I am increasingly convinced that the winners will not be the insurers with the most AI pilots or the biggest AI budgets. They will be the organizations that can bring together intelligence, governance, and core systems into a coherent operating model, while building trust along the way. Becoming a Frontier Insurer means being bold enough to rethink organizational structures, jobs, processes, technology partnerships, and ultimately the economics of insurance. The question is no longer whether AI will change insurance. It is whether leaders are prepared to redesign their businesses around it. BEST MOMENTS “Every insurer in 2026 will tell you that they are doing AI. Ask your harder question. Who has rebuilt the business or operating model around it?” – Sabine VanderLinden [00:16] “The gap isn't a technology story. It is a leadership story.” – Sabine VanderLinden [00:16] “It isn't about cutting people. It's about elevating them.” – Denise Garth [14:49] “It is about a rip and replace of business capabilities and the operating model.” – Denise Garth [43:34] “Somebody else is going to jump ahead of you because they're going to look at it from an orchestration standpoint and rethink.” – Denise Garth [38:19] “Redefined their operating model and embraced AI in a way that accelerated that redefinition of the operating model.” – Denise Garth [95:10] ABOUT THE GUEST Denise Garth is Chief Strategy Officer at Majesco, where she leads strategy, marketing, industry relations, and innovation in support of the company's client-centric vision. She works closely with insurers, technology partners and the wider industry ecosystem to identify emerging shifts and translate them into practical priorities for property and casualty, life, annuity and benefits organizations. An internationally recognized insurance and InsurTech thinker, Denise focuses on the forces reshaping the industry—from AI, data, and intelligent core platforms to new operating models, changing customer expectations, and ecosystem-based growth. Her work challenges insurers to move beyond incremental modernization and build organizations capable of learning, adapting, and delivering value continuously. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures. She leads venture-client labs that help Fortune 500 companies adopt and scale cutting-edge technologies from global tech ventures. A builder of accelerators, investor, and co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, Sabine is known for asking the uncomfortable questions—about AI governance, risk, and trust.

Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson gave Corey Kent advice that helped change the direction of his life. In this episode of God's Country, Corey joins The Brothers Hunt to tell those stories—and opens up about getting fired with a new baby at home, leaving Nashville, building a life in Texas, and redefining what success really means. Corey shares how he handed Garth Brooks a burned CD containing the only three songs he had written, why he confidently claimed they were ready for country radio, and the life-changing message Garth later sent him. He also remembers singing with Willie Nelson as a teenager and receiving the advice that first sent him to Nashville.

Garth Returns, Werewolf Cults & the Myth of FenrirGarth is back. He killed a cow. And he got hit by a car. We have questions.Sharp Teeth reunites the boys with everybody's favorite lanky hunter, who has been MIA for six months and has some explaining to do. Turns out Garth got bit on a hunt, fell in love with a born werewolf named Bess, and joined a peaceful werewolf congregation run by a very sincere reverend with a very suspicious wife. Berly and LA are charmed by Garth and Bess, deeply skeptical of the stepmother from the jump, and mildly concerned about Sam Winchester's brain after yet another knock to the head.Meanwhile, Dean and Sam are technically working together but driving separate cars and absolutely not talking about their feelings. Progress.The lore this week covers Fenrir, the Norse wolf so catastrophically large and dangerous that the gods had to trick him into being chained up using a magical ribbon and one god's hand as a bargaining chip. He is currently down there waiting. Drop a comment with your theories, and if you're enjoying the show, a review helps other fans find their way to the bunker. See you next week.

LZ interviews Jennie Garth on his podcast, discussing her book “I Choose Me,” its conversational tone, and themes of embracing emotions, acknowledging automatic negative thoughts, setting boundaries, and prioritizing time after loss and grief. They talk about Garth's upbringing in Illinois, her parents' influence as educators who modeled helping others, self-reliance, and women's empowerment, and how these lessons shaped her purpose. Garth shares memories of her father's death in 2008, missing his passing by moments, and reflects on the gifts her parents gave her. She recounts being cast on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” the intensity and global fame that left her feeling she missed a decade of personal development, and her bond with Luke Perry, including what he taught her about giving people what they need. They touch on co-parenting and healing conversations with ex-husband Peter, QVC work, and close friendship moments, ending with Garth's statement: “I am beautiful because I love deeply.”Menu: 00:00 Pre Show Chaos01:24 Outfit Compliments02:32 Book Sets The Tone06:35 Be Emotionful Excerpt08:39 Negative Thoughts Tools10:34 Aging Time Boundaries12:44 Family Roots Midwest14:15 Loss And Lessons17:44 Parents Gifts Values21:11 One Word Seeker23:27 Messy Middle Wisdom26:29 Crush Confessions28:30 Dance Modeling Origins30:50 Headshots And Identity31:58 Dad Sees the Dance32:50 Finding a Future33:51 Landing 9021036:22 First Days on Set37:44 Fame Bubble and Lost Years41:42 Luke Perry True Love48:59 Cast Bonds and Missing Links50:40 Desert Island and Ear Sniffs55:36 Kelly Meets Jennie01:00:25 Divorce Healing with Peter01:04:32 Hustle and Rapid Fire01:06:59 Closing Beautiful Because
