Emile “The Cat” Francis was a Vice President and General Manager for the Blues during the franchise’s most turbulent period in the late 1970’s and early 80’s. This after a mostly minor-league playing career as a goaltender.

Welcome to **Like a Rock**, hosted by Connor CheckettsIn this episode, Connor sits down with his grandfather, **Dave Checketts** — one of the most influential sports executives of his generation and a man whose career has intersected with some of the biggest moments, teams, and names in American sports.From becoming the youngest chief executive in NBA history as President and General Manager of the Utah Jazz, to leading Madison Square Garden and overseeing the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, Dave built a remarkable career in professional sports. He later returned home to Utah and founded Real Salt Lake, helping bring Major League Soccer to the state and eventually seeing the club capture the 2009 MLS Cup.But this conversation goes beyond sports.In 1998, while leading Madison Square Garden, Dave helped bring President Gordon B. Hinckley to the world's most famous arena, where more than 20,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered — the largest gathering of Saints in New York City to that point.Years later, Dave and his wife Deb stepped away from the world of professional sports and business to serve as mission leaders in the England London Mission.Through decades of leadership, success, pressure, and change, Dave has remained anchored by two things: **his faith and his family.**And for Connor, this conversation is especially personal — because Dave Checketts isn't just his guest. He's his grandpa.This is **Like a Rock**.Subscribe for more conversations about faith, family, leadership, and the experiences that shape who we become.join us for a weekly revival!your hosts, david butler & stephan taeger

In this episode, Turner Construction's Drew Kerr, Vice President and General Manager of xPL Offsite, explains how xPL is redefining construction through offsite manufacturing and deep supply chain integration, starting with data centers and expanding into sectors like semiconductors, healthcare, and industrial facilities. He contrasts traditional, fragmented construction with xPL's unified model that centralizes manufacturing, supply chain, and field installation to handle unprecedented demand and labor shortages. Using a rapid 30MW data center deployment as a case study, Drew shows how close coordination, prefabrication, and early procurement decisions enabled timelines that would be impossible under conventional methods. He also discusses the limits of true “manufacturing” in construction today, xPL's use of automation and robotics, and why he believes modularization will become the dominant way we build in the next century. Highlights from their conversation include: Drew's Background at Turner and Personal Story (0:54) What xPL Offsite Does and Why It Was Created (2:02) How Exponential Party Logistics Reimagines Construction Supply Chains (4:15) Industrial Renaissance, Data Centers, and Physical Economy Bottlenecks (7:25) Why Offsite Construction Is Not Yet True Manufacturing (8:23) Case Study: 30MW “Emergency” Data Center Deployment (10:36) How Integrated Teams Beat Traditional Construction Timelines (11:06) Labor Shortage, Skilled Trades, and Bringing Work to Workers (13:25) Role of Automation, Robotics, and Smart Factory Concepts (15:50) Expanding Beyond Data Centers Into Healthcare, Sports, and Industrial (19:38) Future of Construction and Shift to Modularized Building Models (21:51) Global Modularization Vision for Turner and ACS (24:10) Closing Thoughts and Episode Wrap-Up (25:29) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Rahul Sood has run the application security business at Harness for almost a year. He describes application security as one of the core pillars of the company, part of a vision of building a DevSecOps platform. A year ago Harness publicly announced that security accounted for a quarter of its revenue. Sood says the figure is now considerably higher. The company did not start there. Founder Jyoti Bansal thought about Harness for a decade before founding it, Sood says, after seeing the problem inside one of the largest banks. Harness launched as a DevOps platform, then merged with an API security company Bansal had also funded. The result is a platform that treats security as part of the developer workflow rather than a bolt-on, and covers it from code all the way to runtime. What changes when security lives inside the developer workflow? Developers stop leaving their own tools to chase findings. Harness aggregates results across scanners, deduplicates them, and puts remediation, assignment, and exemption requests in one place. Security teams get the other half of the picture through a policy engine that shows which policies fire on every build, which ones break a build, and where a developer asked for an exception, with a full audit trail behind it. Where is the bottleneck now that AI writes the code? It moved downstream. Sood says nearly every development team is generating more code with AI, while the volume actually reaching users has not risen at the same rate. By his estimate coding is 20 to 30 percent of the software development life cycle, and the remaining 70 to 80 percent happens after the code is written. That includes agents. Harness has extended the platform to support the Agent DLC, with native capabilities for AI evaluation and prompt testing alongside security coverage for agents from code to runtime. Sood points to two differences. The span from code to runtime covers agents while they are built and while they run, and skill scanning and prompt scanning were added to the same scanner already looking for code vulnerabilities rather than shipped as another tool to buy. The operational payoff shows up in release cadence. Sood describes a tier one US bank that maintained 150 separate policies and convened a team to confirm each one had been met before it could launch its banking app. Automating that review removed the meeting, and the bank now runs multiple launches within weeks. With 80 to 90 percent of software now assembled from third-party packages, libraries, and open source components, the same policy engine can block any build that pulls in a package which is end of life or malicious.

He played his college basketball at Penn State University and was drafted in the 2nd Round (35th overall) by the Washington Wizards in 1999.On this episode Mike & Calvin discuss his innovative new venture, Standard Front Office, which aims to revolutionize college basketball operations by offering a comprehensive evaluation platform for collegiate players. This service assists programs in navigating the increasingly complex landscape of college athletics, particularly with the rise of the transfer portal and the incorporation of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) considerations. Throughout our dialogue, Booth elaborates on the challenges faced by college coaches today, including the overwhelming task of roster construction amidst a talent pool that boasts over 700 players capable of contributing to elite teams. His experiences as a player and executive provide invaluable context as he discusses the need for a more structured approach to scouting and player evaluation, emphasizing the importance of fit within team dynamics rather than merely acquiring talent based on star power. In exploring the evolution of college basketball, Booth articulates the opportunities and challenges presented by the current recruiting environment. He reflects on the substantial changes that have occurred since his playing days, noting that the influx of financial considerations has altered the motivations of both players and coaches alike. The discussion highlights the imperative for programs to adapt and evolve in order to maintain competitiveness, particularly as they grapple with the financial implications of attracting top talent.

For twenty-five years we sent the struggling kid to the back of the room with headphones on. Todd Brekhus of Renaissance explains why that model broke personalized learning, and how teacher-facing AI hands the room back to you. Todd Brekhus is Chief Product Officer at Renaissance, General Manager of Nearpod, a former English teacher and technology director, and the creator of the myON literacy platform. We recorded this conversation at ISTE 2026. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why "personalized learning" quietly pushed teachers out of the loop, and what changes when you say "personalized teaching and learning" instead - How to pull last year's skill-level data and plan two paths before tomorrow's lesson - Why back-of-the-room intervention stigmatizes kids, and how to differentiate inside the core lesson - The case for a formative check every six to eight minutes without leaving your slides - Why Renaissance deliberately chose not to build student-facing AI, and what productive struggle has to do with it This episode is sponsored by Renaissance.

In a hyper-connected world filled with constant noise, notifications, and performance, we often travel just to capture the photo rather than live the moment. But what happens when true luxury isn't about being seen—it's about the privilege of disappearing? In this profound episode, Chris Schembra sits down with Nicolas Peluffo, CEO of Awasi Lodges. With over two decades of experience across hospitality, real estate, and finance, Nicolas explores how Awasi's carbon-neutral, Relais & Châteaux lodges in South America—from Patagonia and the Atacama Desert to Iguazú and Santa Catarina—provide the setting for guests to disconnect, surrender control, and reconnect with intrinsic human awe.  Together, they discuss why time and space are the ultimate modern luxuries, how unscripted nature lowers cortisol and restores genius-level creativity, why hiring for attitude over aptitude is the secret to true hospitality, and how surrendering to the present moment unlocks our deepest clarity.   10 Memorable Quotes "You come to experience something unique, right? To be in awe. And that's the reason that makes you get there." — Nicolas Peluffo "A normal hospitality company says, 'We're your home away from home.' The way we approach it is: this is your best friend's home." — Nicolas Peluffo "We're hit by way too many distractions—noise, people, email, text... that makes it increasingly difficult for anyone to be human." — Nicolas Peluffo "We all need that connection with nature. We all need that disconnection from the noise and the things that are unimportant." — Nicolas Peluffo "We're not built to be in a seat, on a sofa, definitely not in a shopping mall." — Nicolas Peluffo "When looking for attitude versus aptitude, attitude always prevails. It's very difficult to teach someone to smile, but it's pretty easy to teach someone to use Excel." — Nicolas Peluffo "Smile, not because you were told to smile. Smile because this is what you were meant to do." — Nicolas Peluffo "Hospitality is unlike any other customer experience. I don't think any other business has the same level of vulnerability and surrender both ways." — Nicolas Peluffo "Surrendering for me is letting go of all those constraints that the world told us—that we need to be better, faster, cheaper." — Nicolas Peluffo "Forcing things into existence is not the best way of going about things... Flow happens when you surrender." — Nicolas Peluffo   10 Key Takeaways The Privilege of Disappearing: In an overstimulated society, true well-being comes from reaching places where you can become unreachable and step away from constant noise. Hyper-Customized Hospitality: Exceptional experiences are built around individual human pacing ("your pace, your space") with dedicated guides and private vehicles rather than rigid group itineraries. Space for Cognitive Genius: Slowing down in nature allows the brain to process internal insights, creating the mental space needed for breakthrough creativity and innovation. The Neurobiology of Awe: Immersing oneself in vast natural landscapes reduces cortisol, lowers inflammation, and shifts focus away from big egos toward prosocial connection. Unstaged and Unscripted Moments: Authentic human experiences cannot be transactional or manufactured; they flourish in unscripted interactions with nature and local cultures. Hiring for Heart and Energy: True hospitality cannot be scripted; organizations must hire people with an innate inclination to serve, prioritize attitude over skills, and cultivate genuine presence. The Power of the Smile: Emotional energy is transmitted instantly—even through a phone call—making authentic warmth and positive energy essential for meaningful human connection. The Vulnerability of Hospitality: Creating transformative experiences requires mutual trust and vulnerability between host and guest as people share meals, stories, and life moments. Surrender Before Power: Letting go of the need to control every outcome opens up flow, presence, and deeper alignment both in leadership and in personal life. Living Intrinsically vs. Extrinsically: Shifting from external validation (like social media approval) to intrinsic presence transforms a brief transaction into a lifelong memory.   About Our Guest Nicolas Peluffo is the Chief Executive Officer of Awasi Lodges, a collection of carbon-neutral luxury lodges and Relais & Châteaux member set in South America's most remote corners—including the Atacama Desert, Torres del Paine, Iguazú, and Santa Catarina. Bringing over 23 years of experience across hospitality, real estate, finance, and technology, Nicolas previously served as Founder and CEO of TRVLR and spent nearly seven years at Awasi's Santa Catarina property (formerly Ponta dos Ganchos) rising to General Manager. He served as President and Co-Founder of the Brazilian Luxury Travel Association (BLTA) and sat on the Board of Directors of Relais & Châteaux as Delegate for South America. A graduate of Harvard Business School's OPM program with certifications from Cornell University, Nicolas resides in Santa Barbara, California, leading Awasi's conviction that time and space are the greatest of privileges.

Email support@mapitforward.org to learn more.Episode DescriptionThis is Part 4 of a five-part series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward examining what happened between Benecke Coffee in Germany and coffee cooperatives in Peru pursuing claims for coffee they say remains unpaid.In Part 3, the cooperatives explained how delayed payments became an insolvency issue and how they entered the German creditor process.Now the question becomes: what happens when an international coffee trader becomes insolvent, and the businesses waiting to be paid are cooperatives thousands of kilometres away?Podcast host Lee Safar is joined again by Emerson Carrasco, General Manager of Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative; Anabel Barrientos, General Manager of Ubiriki Valley Cooperative; and Óscar Inocente, a lawyer working with the affected Peruvian cooperatives. Ana Maria Donneys from Café Primitivo joins as translator.Óscar Inocente discusses the cooperatives' attempts to obtain clearer information from the insolvency administration and pursue retention-of-title claims over coffee they say remained unpaid.The episode also clarifies that Sucafina did not purchase Benecke Coffee. According to information provided directly to Map It Forward, Sucafina acquired Rehm-related assets from the insolvency estate.Anabel then explains how the unpaid amounts have affected Ubiriki Valley Cooperative. She says planned producer payments, training, inputs and other activities were disrupted, while available financing was reduced by roughly half.She says this reduced the cooperative's ability to contract coffee from around 90 containers to roughly 45.Emerson also raises a key unresolved question around one Sanchirio shipment. He says the administration stated that the coffee had been sold on 26 September 2025, while the cooperative's shipping trace shows the container arriving in Hamburg on 10 October.The cooperative is seeking documentation to understand when the coffee was actually sold and how it is being treated inside the insolvency.In Part 5, we ask what the wider coffee industry should learn from the case.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

(13:07) How the majority of conventional probiotic strains amplify the inflammatory responses in the immune system. (15:02) Why a single stressor first thing in the morning can keep you in an anxious state throughout the day. (20:33) The benefits of bacterial spores. (21:20)  Why most microbes in the environment will not function as probiotics. (22:55) How spores create lasting change in your gut terrain. (24:48) Where the spores come from.

MoMA welcomes three million people to its Midtown campus in a good year. But the beloved cultural institution now has the power to reach multiples of that through a hoodie, a Lego set, and a chicken-shaped cutting board. General Manager of Retail, Jesse Goldstine, joins the show to explain how MoMA inverted the museum retail model, how every product in the store thoughtfully ties back to MoMA's art, and where the design institution draws the line between rolling out AI partnerships while protecting human craft.  Until the AI Overlords Say Otherwise Key takeaways: Museums historically have defaulted to funneling visitors through the gift shop last. MoMA inverted the formula, shifting the museum's point-of-entry to retail channels.  Cutting SKUs in SoHo raised productivity per SKU and clarified brand identity. Licensing starts and ends with one question: why MoMA? Discovery and gifting resist automation in ways basic replenishment does not. [00:24:04] Jesse: "The DNA of our business is rooted in decisions made by humans in our curatorial department…I will continue to defer to them and put my faith in them until our AI overlords tell me that I need to behave differently." [00:26:43] Jesse: "There's something really special about our brand that... will sort of inoculate it against some sort of automated sock repurchase every six months."

In this episode of Mining Minds, we sit down with the leadership team behind South32 Hermosa in Southern Arizona: Andy Thompson, Vice President of Project Delivery; Aaron Lamb, Project Director; Miguel Lamadrid, General Manager of Operations; and Joe Dase, Construction & Execution. The team takes us inside the realities of building a major underground mining project on an exceptionally tight footprint—from shaft sinking, concentrator construction, dewatering and water treatment to the project's "Bluetooth laydowns," an 11-day continuous headframe pour, and the logistics required to keep construction moving safely and efficiently. The conversation goes beyond construction to explore the culture and long-term vision behind Hermosa: developing a local Santa Cruz County workforce, building a regional mining supply chain, supporting critical mineral production, and integrating autonomous equipment, remote operations, real-time data and AI into the mine of the future. At the center of it all is a clear leadership commitment: build the project without fatalities or life-changing injuries, create lasting opportunities for the community, and prove that advanced technology works best when it empowers the people doing the work. The best mining stories are never just about the project. They're about the people building it.   Chapters: 00:00 South32 Hermosa: Building a Major Mine on a "Postage Stamp" 06:30 Inside the Hermosa Project: Shafts, Concentrator & Construction Progress 08:30 "Bluetooth Laydowns" — Solving Hermosa's Massive Logistics Challenge 10:30 Building the Right Team, Culture & Trust from Day One 15:00 The 11-Day Continuous Headframe Pour vs. Arizona Monsoon Season 17:00 50% Complete: Leadership, Humility & Executing a World-Class Project 21:00 Water Treatment, Dewatering & Investing in the Local Community 25:00 Critical Minerals: Zinc, Silver, Lead, Manganese, Copper & U.S. Security 39:30 The Future of Mining: Autonomous Equipment, Remote Operations & AI 49:00 No Fatalities, No Life-Changing Injuries — The Legacy Hermosa Wants to Build
