Wilf cited Adofo-Mensah's body of work that included a poor draft record and last year's quarterback room, as well as this "critical" offseason that includes eight draft picks (plus any compensatory selections). Will this clear a path for Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores to have even more influence in personnel decisions?

Leadership Is a System With Jarred Patterson, COO — New South Restaurant Group Most restaurant owners think leadership is a personality trait. Something you're born with.Something you either “have” or you don't. That belief is exactly why so many restaurants stay stuck. In Episode 181 of The Restaurant Coach Podcast, I sit down with Jarred Patterson, COO of New South Restaurant Group, to break that myth wide open. Because leadership isn't luck.It isn't charisma.And it definitely isn't title-based. Leadership is a system. And when that system is built correctly, it changes everything. From General Manager to COO — Built, Not Promoted Jarred didn't come into New South Restaurant Group as an executive. He started as a General Manager at one location. What changed wasn't opportunity.What changed was identity, structure, and execution. Through the implementation of the TRC Method, Jarred didn't just “move up.”He grew into the role of enterprise leader. This episode walks through how: Leadership standards were clarified and enforced Culture stopped being a slogan and became a daily operating system Accountability replaced chaos Managers were developed instead of babysat And how that shift produced the most profitable year in company history Not by working harder.But by building leaders who could think, decide, and execute without constant oversight. Culture Isn't a Vibe — It's a Framework One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: Culture doesn't improve because you talk about it.It improves because you design it. Jarred shares how New South moved away from reactive management and into intentional leadership development, where: Expectations were clear Standards were non-negotiable Leaders were trained to lead people, not just run shifts And results were tracked, reviewed, and reinforced When leadership became systemized, culture followed.When culture aligned, profit followed. Why Most Restaurants Never Make This Leap Most operators stay trapped at the location level because: They confuse effort with effectiveness They promote based on tenure instead of capability They rely on “gut feel” instead of frameworks They never install leadership systems that scale This episode exposes why those habits quietly cap growth—and what happens when you finally replace them with structure. What You'll Learn in This Episode In Episode 181, we break down: Why leadership is not a personality trait—but a repeatable system How Jarred transitioned from GM thinking to enterprise leadership The role the TRC Method played in transforming culture across multiple locations How leadership development directly drove record profitability What restaurant owners must stop doing if they want leaders who can actually lead This Episode Is For You If… Your restaurant depends too heavily on you You have managers but not leaders Culture feels inconsistent or fragile Profitability improves only when you personally intervene You want to scale without losing your soul—or your sanity Final Thoughts If leadership were just talent, Jarred's story wouldn't be repeatable. But it is. Because leadership isn't magic.It's method. And when you build the system, the results take care of themselves. Ready to Build Leadership That Runs Without You? If this episode made one thing clear, it's this: You don't need to work harder.You need a system.

Operators of aging F-class units face a narrowing window to plan for rotor life extensions as supply chains tighten and demand surges. The late 1990s and early 2000s marked a frenetic period in American power generation. Deregulation opened the floodgates for independent power producers racing to bring quick-build gas turbine plants online. GE's 7FA and 7EA units became go‑to resources for this expansion, with the manufacturer more than tripling its annual heavy‑duty gas turbine production capacity to meet surging demand. Now, a quarter-century later, those turbines are approaching critical end-of-life thresholds—just as an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven surge in electricity demand is pushing them harder than ever. Industry experts warn that operators who fail to plan for rotor life extensions could find themselves in serious trouble. “If you're not thinking two to three years down the road on your rotor, then you're already behind, because that's how long it's going to take to manufacture those wheels,” Jason Wheeler, General Manager of Gas Turbine Rotor Repairs at MD&A, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. A Perfect Storm of Constraints The urgency stems from a confluence of factors that have compressed the window for action. The 7FA fleet, which was deployed en masse during what industry veterans call “the bubble,” is now reaching the hour and cycle limits that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) established for critical rotor components. At the same time, the power generation sector is experiencing a demand renaissance driven by data center construction and electrification. Dave Fernandes, MD&A's Gas Turbine Program Manager, experienced the original boom firsthand as a GE field engineer specializing in 7F and 9F units from 1996 to 2001. He sees important differences between then and now. “There seems to be a lot more concrete reasons and a much stronger foundation for this current bubble than the previous one that took place two and a half decades ago,” Fernandes said. “There are a lot of things that are all stacking up at the same time that put more of an emphasis on getting out in front of extending the life of your current assets now, probably more than ever.” Supply chains have become particularly challenging. The specialized superalloy forgings required for turbine wheels are produced by a limited number of facilities worldwide, and those forging houses are simultaneously serving aerospace, military, and new power generation equipment markets. “You're going to be competing with those new unit sales across various industries in an attempt to get in line with what is perceived from some angles as higher priorities,” Fernandes explained. “That further complicates the scenario that the customer base is facing when they're trying to extend the rotor life of their existing assets.”

In episode 326 of the Glass and Out Podcast we sit down with the President, General Manager, and Head Coach of the WHL's Penticton Vees, Fred Harbinson. Now in his 19th year with the team, Harbinson has the Vees on track for a historic season as the Western Hockey League's newest franchise in its first season after departing the BCHL. In late January of 2026, Penticton sat 2nd in the Western Conference, were riding an 11 game win streak, and recently cracked the CHL's top 10 ranking, landing at number 9. With 26 games left to play in the regular season, the Vees are only 10 wins away from breaking the win record for an expansion team, set by the Everett Silvertips in 2014. With Penticton, Harbinson built one of the most storied franchises at the Jr A level in Canada, leading the Vees to multiple championships, including six Fred Page Cup titles, a Western Canada Cup, a Doyle Cup, and an RBC Cup National Championship. He has recorded over 700 career wins in the BCHL and has been honored multiple times with the Joe Tennant Memorial Trophy as BCHL Coach of the Year. He also holds the distinction of the most playoff series victories in league history. Listen as he shares the championship mentality that has resulted in expansion success, putting an emphasis on the defensive side of the game, and why selling development is about providing your players with a layer of tools.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Chris Lawson of TechnicianFind tackles a critical disconnect in the automotive repair industry: shop owners say they want a General Manager to run their business, but are only willing to hire a “babysitter.” The conversation explores what it truly takes to build real management—centered on financial transparency, clearly defined roles, and intentional recruitment. The Transparency Trap At the heart of the issue is a tension between a shop owner's desire to step away from daily operations and their fear of sharing financial information. Many owners want a manager who will “own the results,” yet refuse to share the “scoreboard” — gross profit, payroll, and compensation data — out of fear the employee will leave to open a competing shop. Lawson challenges this assumption. In reality, when employees see the true costs, risks, and pressures of ownership, many realize they prefer the stability of employment rather than pursuing ownership themselves. Defining the Roles The Owner:Responsible for vision, long-term direction, financial risk, and high-level strategic decisions.The Manager:Owns daily execution, workflow, SOPs, and tactical accountability.The Requirement:To move from “babysitter” to true manager, the individual must be trained to read and understand P&L statements so their daily decisions align with the company's financial reality. Attracting Talent vs. Hunting Unicorns Rather than passively hoping to “find” a superstar manager, Lawson argues shops must actively attract them through preparation and culture. Preparation:It starts with a detailed job description outlining specific responsibilities, outcomes, and authority.Always Be Recruiting:Don't wait until it's “raining” to fix the roof. Build a bench and maintain passive recruiting year-round.Social Media as a Window:Prospective hires—and often their spouses—observe a shop's culture long before applying. Posts that highlight team wins, birthdays, training, and certifications signal a healthy, supportive environment. Actionable Advice Lawson closes with a practical checklist for owners ready to upgrade from a babysitter to a true manager: Create a detailed job descriptionAddress personal insecurities around...

For many app teams, ads are treated as a necessary tradeoff — something you accept in exchange for revenue. But ad quality isn't just an ad ops issue. It directly shapes user experience, retention, and how people perceive your app. In this episode, we're sharing an App Talks interview where David Murphy speaks with Alex Yerukhimovich, General Manager at AppHarbr. Alex breaks down what ad quality really means in practice, why the problem is getting worse, and how bad ads can quietly undermine performance — through shorter sessions, higher churn, and even one-star reviews that impact store visibility. From disruptive ad behaviour to scams and deceptive creatives, this conversation is a practical look at why publishers need more transparency and more control over what gets served inside their apps. Today's topics include: Ad quality defined: why users see ads as part of the app experience — and blame publishers for what they see The three major categories of “bad ads”: inappropriate content, disruptive behavior, and malvertising scams Why ad quality is becoming a bigger problem outside gaming, especially for apps built on long-term retention How bad ads damage monetization and growth: shorter sessions, uninstalls, churn, and one-star reviews that affect store visibility What publishers can do about it: transparency, proactive enforcement, and real-time control instead of relying on ad networks to fix issues Links and Resources: Alex Yerukhimovich on LinkedIn Appharbr website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Alex Yerukhimovich “Users associate any bad experience within the app with the app itself.” “If the ads in your app are bad for your users, your app is bad.” “Ad quality in the industry deteriorates… it's getting worse and it requires active approach to solve it.” Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

Play the games. Open the gates. This is a thoughtful conversation about joy as strategy, community as responsibility, and why a ballpark can be more than a place to watch a game.

Meet your customer where they want to shop. On the latest episode of the Omnichannel Marketer, I had the pleasure of talking with Sarah McNamara, Executive Vice President & General Manager at Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care and Naturally Serious Skin.Sarah is a beauty industry veteran, having worked at Unilever, L'Oreal, and grew her own beauty brand, Miracle Skin Transformer to $35M in revenue before selling it.‍Now she oversees Peter Thomas Roth.‍Peter Thomas Roth started in a doctor's office, but is now a retail powerhouse. It was one of the first brands to launch with Sephora when it came to the US market, and also is present in Sephora locations around the world. Other key channels for Peter Thomas Roth are Ulta Beauty, Amazon, and QVC. Sarah's philosophy is that you need to be where the customer is. ‍That is highly dependent on demographics. ‍PTR is a legacy brand that historically skews to an older demographic.‍So retail and QVC are big channels for them. ‍Each channel has a unique offering for the demographic that frequents it. ‍And the spread in Ulta is very different from Sephora. ‍She loves department stores herself, but sees it as a shrinking business. ‍Beauty is constantly evolving and experiencing unprecedented digital change. ‍As Sarah says, “You snooze, you lose.” ‍To that end, PTR also has a DTC presence and is active on social media to cater to some Gen X, Z, and even Alpha customers. ‍Her team is actively tinkering with Tiktok shops. ‍She was also relatively early to Amazon, compared to Clinique, another legacy brand that only launched on Amazon a few weeks ago.‍Sarah views the DTC site as a window into the brand and is in midst of an exciting website revamp going live in August. ‍The PTR website serves loyalists, but she also realizes that every channel has its loyalists. “Some people really just want to buy on Amazon. Others only at Sephora.”‍At the end of the day, Sarah shares that good marketing is about “understanding where your customers are and making it easy for them to buy in those channels.”‍Thanks Sarah for sharing your experience and insights.

Carl and Mike continue with more Falcons talk as they react to the team announcing they completed an interview with Texans' assistant GM, James Liipfert for their GM role.

Every reign comes to an end. After months of speculation, Lucasfilm has announced that Kathleen Kennedy will step down as President. Kathy has been President of Lucasfilm since the Disney acquisition of the company in 2012. Despite a fandom that at many times were hostile towards her, Kathy led Lucasfilm into a bright new era of Star Wars which saw so many animated shows, comics, books, live action series, and films which has expanded the mythos and helped the Galaxy reach a plethora of new fans.In her "Exit Interview" with Deadline, Kathy discusses her storied career and discuss what has happened with many cancelled projects like Steve Soderbergh and Adam Driver's The Hunt For Ben Solo, James Mangold and Beau Willimon's Dawn of The Jedi and beyond.As Kathy returns to producing (including the upcoming The Mandalorian And Grogu, and Starfighter), we salute her incredible career and wish her all the best in her future projects.While one reign ends, another begins. Kathy steps down and (as rumored) Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan rise. Dave will serve as President and Chief Creative Officer and Lynwen will serve as Co-President. Everyone knows about Dave's role within Lucasfilm as apprentice to George Lucas, but Lynwen's role within Lucasfilm has been equally as impressive. Lynwen has been at Lucasfilm since 1999, beginning her tenure at Industrial Light & Magic where she become its leader in 2009. She was General Manager of Lucasfilm in 2015 and President & General Manager of Lucasfilm Business in 2024. Her leadership has been recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Visual Effects Society and the honor of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.With this new leadership, questions and concerns arise about what we can expect from what we've called colloquially "Phase 3" of Star Wars. Join us as we celebrate Kathy's career, toast to Dave and Lynwen's new roles, and speculate about what might be in store for Star Wars future!• • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

Luxury shows up in the small moments, not the marble — and that idea sits at the core of this episode of #NoVacancyNews. I spent time with Christophe Baraton, General Manager of Shutters on the Beach, to talk about what hospitality looks like when you lead from the property level instead of a spreadsheet. Christophe runs a 30-year-old beachfront hotel with deep roots in its local community, long-tenured team members, and guests who return because they feel known. We talk about leadership during crisis, how Shutters became a refuge for locals during the Los Angeles fires, and why anticipation—not opulence—defines modern #luxury.
