With David Smoak & Paul Catalina, John Talty breaks down the evolving role of General Managers in college football and how it's reshaping the sport in 2025. From Oklahoma's bold hire of Jim Nagy to Michigan's analytics-driven approach with Sean Magee, Talty explains how GMs are now handling roster management, NIL contracts, revenue sharing, and recruiting operations. He also compares different models across the country—some GMs are tightly tied to head coaches, while others act more independently like NFL executives.

Episode Summary: The RPGBOT crew cracks open Dungeon Delves, the newest D&D 5E adventure anthology packed full of dragons, dungeons, and just enough whimsy to leave your party questioning reality. From solo player escapades to pastry-themed peril, the hosts review each of the anthology's adventures, exploring what works, what doesn't, and what got eaten by a Bag of Devouring. Spoiler alert: It's not just gear. Along the way, they celebrate user-friendly design, lament undercooked storylines, and argue over which dragon deserves to headline the next Broadway musical.

Hoard magic items are flavorful, fun, and make players feel very important. Art and layout are top-tier. Even the dragons look like they moisturize. Death at Sunset and The Will of Orcus are clear standouts—fun, well-paced, and full of dragon drama. A Copper for a Song and Sandstone City left the crew hungry for more danger and depth (and less polite puzzle-solving). Good adventure design balances meaningful player choices with challenge.

With the trade deadline mere tens of hours away (is that a thing?) David Brown and Andy discuss the risks of showcasing players you are trying to trade in the final games before the deadline, the costs of trading for rental players, trying to win and sell at the same time, and the varied personalities of GMs and how that affects trades. They also discuss Jed Hoyer's new contract, the chicken and egg of sports betting scandals and the passing of Cubs icon Ryne Sandberg.

Knowledge skills: because sometimes knowing what's in the dungeon is more important than knowing how to kill it. In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew breaks down the often-overlooked but mechanically vital Knowledge skills in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. The gang explores how these skills function in the game, how they've changed over editions, and why your party's lore nerd is secretly carrying your campaign. They explore how Knowledge checks can enrich worldbuilding, deepen immersion, and add mechanical weight to player choices. Whether you're identifying a creature, recalling ancient lore, or flexing your Arcana at a smug wizard, the right knowledge at the right time can mean the difference between survival and a total party kill. The episode also dives into how different systems handle knowledge, including Pathfinder 1e's granular Knowledge skills, D&D 5e's streamlined Intelligence-based skills, and how GMs can reward players for investing in information-gathering instead of just smiting things with swords or spells. Key Takeaways: Knowledge skills are essential for both roleplay depth and mechanical advantage. They can be undervalued by players but are a powerful tool when supported by the GM. Systems vary widely in how they handle knowledge – make sure to know what's available to you. GMs should reward curiosity and learning with story reveals, tactical insight, and world connection. Players who invest in knowledge can shift the direction of the story, avoid deadly fights, and impress powerful NPCs. Lore-focused characters add richness and versatility to any party—especially in exploration-heavy campaigns.

Let's Talk Politics and Factions. The outstanding Aaron Harvey and super-fan Will Parker join Jim and Michael to dive deep into the intrigue, ideology, and interstellar influence that shape the Star Trek universe.

Cliff and Joe recap recent off-season moves by the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, and Suns. Are these GMs executing master plans or total scams?

Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.    We'll kick off with some quick hits before diving into rebuilds and trade chatter: New Goalie Coach Michael Leighton joins the staff—an interesting choice given he's often remembered for yielding Patrick Kane's Stanley Cup–winning goal back in 2010. Roster Moves • Mason Appleton is inking his deal to bring depth up front. • Elmer Söderblom re-signs, keeping that heavy shot and energy in Detroit's lineup. Do NHL Rebuilds Actually Work? Top Takeaways (From Paul Pidutti / Adjusted Hockey) Rebuild timelines are long Modern rebuilds average 8.5 years from bottom‑10 finishes to back‑to‑back playoff berths—meaning a team rarely snaps its tailspin in under a decade Daily Faceoff. Most rebuilds succeed…eventually Half of the 20 rebuilds studied yielded at least one Stanley Cup, and nearly all produced sustained contenders—even if they took closer to 10 years to peak Daily Faceoff. Patience is the price of admission GMs often endure losing to buy time, and fans have grown more accustomed to multi‑year rebuilds—yet the expectation clock starts to tick loudest once you're in Year Nine or Ten. Why We're At a Crossroads Steve Yzerman's rebuild in Detroit is now entering its 10th season without a playoff return—well past the league's 8–9‑year norm—and the “we're almost there” narrative is wearing thin. It's time for Yzerman to shift from accumulation to execution and deliver tangible results. Trade Targets to Push Us Over the Edge Let's play matchmaker for Steve Y's quest to turbocharge the lineup: Erik Karlsson – Elite puck‑moving defenseman to ignite breakout play. Jordan Kyrou – Speed and scoring touch on the wing. Rickard Rakell – Versatile two‑way winger with playoff pedigree. Yegor Chinakhov – Powerful prospect drawing fresh interest on the trade block. Tune in as we debate who makes the most sense, what price Yzerman might pay, and how each move could finally end Detroit's rebuild blues.   JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun!

We head back to the phones on the Titans and who will get the blame this season if things don't go well?  What do we make of the front office structure when it comes to the hirings and firings of GMs and coaches?  How much patience should there be with Callahan as they address the roster?  We take more phones and wrap up the show with some of Brian Callahan's press conference.

What does it truly take to grow a restaurant concept from a single unit to a multi-location brand? In this episode, we're joined by Garrett Mills, Partner at Uncommon Brands, for a deep dive into the world of restaurant growth and investment. Garrett shares his unique journey and unpacks the key financial and qualitative factors his firm evaluates when partnering with emerging brands. From the importance of a strong employee culture to the challenges of letting go of control, this conversation is packed with actionable advice for any operator looking to scale their business and build a lasting brand.Key TakeawaysThe Financial Trifecta: When evaluating a business, focus on three key ratios: sales-to-investment, store-level margin, and cash-on-cash returns. Achieving strength in at least two of these areas is crucial for attracting investment and ensuring sustainable growth. Embrace the GM-Driven Model: To scale effectively, founders must transition from being hands-on in every detail to empowering their general managers. This requires building trust and creating systems that allow unit-level leaders to take ownership of their stores. Culture Drives Experience: Your employees are the ones driving the guest experience. Investing in a strong employee culture is fundamental to creating a restaurant experience that keeps customers returning. Technology Should Inform Decisions: The most valuable technology partners provide clear information that helps you make better, faster decisions, especially around food and labor costs. The goal is to get GMs out of the back office and onto the floor with guests and staff. Growth Isn't Easy: The path to scaling a restaurant is a grind. Surround yourself with experienced advisors and be prepared to overcome significant challenges along the way. ResourcesUncommon BrandsUncommon Brands on LinkedIn7shiftsSend us a text

Whether you're building a dungeon, brewing an encounter, or generating the perfect trap to ruin your players' plans, DungeonFlow has you covered. Sign up today and make map prep faster than a bard's pickup line. In this final episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast's How to Play Daggerheart series, the crew takes a heartfelt and hilarious look back at everything they've learned about Darrington Press's narrative-forward RPG system. From character creation to combat chaos, hope and fear mechanics, and the quirky little swamp village where their adventure took root, the team unpacks what makes Daggerheart such a compelling system—especially for first-time players, roleplay enthusiasts, and GMs who love big feelings with their big swords. The discussion touches on the system's player-friendly mechanics, open storytelling potential, and how Daggerheart reimagines fantasy tropes through a lens of collaboration, emotion, and crunchy (but not too crunchy) dice pools. They reflect on the actual play, their favorite moments, and the ways the system encourages creativity without overwhelming newcomers. If you've ever wanted a system that feels like a stage play one minute and a chaotic improv show the next, this one's for you. Daggerheart (affiliate link) Critical Role - Age of Umbra Content from RPGBOT.net Daggerheart Review Key Takeaways: Daggerheart is ideal for first-time TTRPG players thanks to its narrative-driven, rules-light approach and clearly structured character creation. The game's Hope and Fear dice mechanic adds emotional stakes and cinematic tension to every roll, encouraging players to think about character motivation and drama. Combat is fluid, cinematic, and intentionally collaborative, with mechanics that reward creativity and teamwork rather than pure damage output. The system uses Domain and Experience cards to shape both mechanical choices and character arcs—an innovative twist on traditional leveling systems. Character creation is flexible but approachable, giving players space to express creativity without the paralysis of overwhelming options. The system excels in storytelling-focused play, making it ideal for players who want to lean into emotional arcs, moral complexity, or soap opera-level plot twists. The actual play portion of the series showed how much potential there is for improvisation, character development, and table-wide chaos (the good kind). Daggerheart's tone is welcoming, inclusive, and imaginative—making it an excellent gateway for younger players, theater kids, recovering rules lawyers, and anyone who wants to feel something at the table.

Brandon Tierney dives headfirst into the high-stakes world of the MLB trade deadline, focusing on the New York Yankees and New York Mets. With both teams showing flashes of brilliance but also significant flaws, Tierney argues that the 2025 season hinges entirely on the moves made by GMs Brian Cashman and David Stearns. He'll break down the critical needs for each squad, the pressure cooker these GMs face in the demanding New York market, and whether either team has the guts to make the necessary, game-changing trades to become true World Series contenders. It's a fiery debate on the future of New York baseball, where inaction could mean utter disaster.

David Lemke DnD Adventure Club RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes DnD Adventure Club w/David Lemke – RPGBOT.News S3E58 RPGBOT.Podcast Bonus Episode – The Wild Beyond the Witchlight Topics Covered How running D&D for kids differs from traditional adult tables The benefits of TTRPGs for child development and social growth Building age-appropriate adventures with clear stakes and structure Using repetition and scaffolding for younger players' comprehension Managing attention spans and behavior without losing the fun Tips for introducing mechanics gradually over time Player safety, parental involvement, and appropriate content Teaching narrative agency and consequences in a kid-friendly way Group management in mixed-age or mixed-skill settings Customizing rulesets to better fit young players' needs Dealing with disruptive players and setting table expectations Tools, props, and miniatures that help children stay engaged Encouraging creativity without overwhelming new players Favorite stories and learning moments from David's past games Key Questions Answered How do you start a new D&D group for kids who've never played before? What kinds of monsters, settings, and themes work best for young adventurers? What house rules or simplifications can help keep the game moving smoothly? What are the educational benefits of playing D&D as a child? Key Takeaways Structure and Consistency Are Crucial Children thrive with predictable session formats, recurring NPCs, and simple mechanics introduced in layers. Fun Comes First Prioritize engagement and joy. Mechanics can wait—story, agency, and laughter are more important than perfect rules compliance. Rules Can Be Training Wheels Simplified rulesets or modified stat blocks help children feel empowered without cognitive overload. Session Length Matters Games for younger players are typically best kept to 60–90 minutes, with physical movement or breaks built in. Age-Appropriate Themes Tone down horror, violence, and complex moral ambiguity. Focus on problem-solving, teamwork, and simple, heroic stakes. Incorporate Physicality Props, dice towers, maps, and miniatures provide tactile feedback and keep attention focused. Safety Tools Aren't Just for Adults Use check-ins, “stop” mechanics, and clear expectations for behavior to build a safe, inclusive table. Behavior = Feedback Disruptive behavior is often a sign that the pacing or content needs adjusting, not that the child is “bad at D&D.” Parental Involvement Helps Keeping parents informed and engaged (or even including them at the table) helps build trust and supports continuity. Roleplay Builds Life Skills Improv, empathy, decision-making, and consequence are all transferable life lessons baked into the game.

Title: From Burnout to Balance: The Holistic Health Framework for Business Leaders with Justin Roethlingshoefer Summary: In this episode, Seth Bradley interviews performance and holistic health expert Justin Roethlingshoefer, who shares his journey from overweight and obsessed with data as a child to becoming a thought leader in elite athletics and executive performance. Justin reveals that while most people approach health through a "body up" lens, obsessing over diets, workouts, and gadgets, true health and healing come from the opposite direction. He advocates for a "top-down" method where spiritual identity and emotional clarity are foundational, which then naturally align the mind and body for sustainable, lasting change. Justin explains how high achievers, even billionaires and franchise owners, often remain unfulfilled and unhealthy because they treat symptoms rather than root causes. His company, Own It, integrates data-driven physical health with deep mental, emotional, and spiritual coaching to create real transformation. True health, he argues, is only possible when all areas of life are aligned — and while results may take time, the impact is profound and permanent. Links to watch and subscribe:   Bullet Point Highlights: Body-up health solutions are backwards. Real, lasting transformation starts with spiritual identity and mindset before physical optimization. Holistic integration is required. Mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health must be aligned for true healing and performance. Success ≠ health or fulfillment. High-performing entrepreneurs and executives often suffer because they chase outcomes, not alignment. Transformation takes patience. Sustainable results require commitment to small, integrated steps, not quick fixes or shortcuts. The solution is full integration, not fragmentation. Own It's model addresses all aspects of health in one place to create life-changing outcomes. Transcript: Seth Bradley (00:02.062) What's up, builders?

If you're ready to raise more capital, close bigger deals, build a better you, and create true financial freedom, you're in the right place. Let's go. Man, excited to have you on the show. Let's just jump right in, Tell the listeners a little bit about your background and take it back as far as you like. Justin Roethlingshoefer So man, how long's the show? I think the big thing, to be honest with you, anytime I kind of get asked about my background, my background shaped me. My background kind of brought me through to what it is that we're doing now. And I kind of speak in terms of anointings and callings and what it is that was stamped on us from a young age. And for me, it was health. I knew that. When I leaned into that as a young boy at 12, 13 years old, I was a fat kid. was the one that I was just made fun of. But I also had this deep desire to know and understand my body at a level that didn't make sense to a lot of people. And there was, I still remember I did this study at the University of Alberta, born and raised in Canada, and was a very athletic kid, but was just overweight. And I did this study. And they were looking at how kids and based on their habits and behaviors, whether you could actually be fat and fit. And so they brought me in and we did all these tests and all these studies and my VO2 max was at the 99 percentile. My muscle mass was at the 99 percentile. My time spent watching TV, playing video games, all these other things was at the 99th percentile of not doing those things. But yet I had a BMI that was obese. I had a body fat percentage, I think of 34%, something in these areas. And I still remember the article that came out, it was the front page of the paper, because it was a really groundbreaking study in Canada, and it said, and fit, question mark, with a picture of me. and I was on the bike and it really just started, like it messed with my mind. And obviously only continued the teasing, continued all these things. But I was the kid that wore a heart rate monitor to bed, wore a heart rate monitor all day long, had a pulse oximeter that I would look at three, four times a day. When I was reading, when everyone else was reading comic books, I was reading medical journals. And this was something that I was just fully enthralled with. Well, That experience threw me the other direction and from about 14 to 18 became severely anorexic. Had a really hard ability to see myself well and just love who I was and I had a major body composition issue and that propelled me down into the United States. I still happen to be a very good athlete. I came to the United States on a hockey scholarship. Did two undergraduate degrees one in exercise science another nutrition went got my master's degree in exercise physiology concentration and sport performance Went and got my massage therapy license went and got my postgraduate doctoral studies in heart rate variability sleep and recovery science and that propelled me into the National Hockey League I started to really understand the body in a way that not many people did and realizing that health is Holistic health is integrated health is mental physical spiritual and emotional conditions or states of the human being and they all have to be aligned and if there's any type of Disintegration between those four you will not be healed you will not be healthy and you will not realize what I call true health and so I took that philosophy of using data technology and Information to help heal the entire person to the NHL and all of a sudden we started to see injury rates drop, we saw recovery times drop, we saw sickness rates drop, we saw performances increase, we saw energy increase, and the owners, the GMs are coming to saying, what are you doing? Like, I don't understand this. You're bringing a philosophy that is very weird to us, we don't understand it, but yet we see the fruits of it at the end of the day, what's happening? That, over the course of eight years, caused me to become a thought leader and really take... some stages in some unique ways in professional sports and change the culture and the dynamic of how we approached performance. But going from Washington to Anaheim, I had one of the ownership team members of the capitals come and say, hey, I need to meet with you when you come out. And I'd seen this person and as they walked through the door, I was like, my gosh, I'd seen them six months previous. And as they walked through, was like, you've aged 30 years in five, six months. Like what's going on? He's like, I don't know. I don't feel well. Like I'm not sleeping. I'm stressed. I feel like I've got no control of my body and I don't understand what's happening. Can you help me? And the back of my mind, I was like, this guy's a billionaire. He's just making copious amounts of money. He's a businessman. I work with athletes. But then all of a sudden I realized, no, this isn't an athlete problem. This is a human problem. And I put him through the same philosophy. We did testing. We looked at heart rate variability. We started to track information. We started to have conversations that were very philosophical in nature, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally aligned, starting to go through a lot of these identities that he had that he wasn't able to shake. And all of a sudden, eight months later, the guy looks like he's 35 years old and He's 80. And that was the turning point for me to be like, hey, I can no longer just stay in the national hockey. Like I have to walk away and be able to impact the health of the world because like I said, this is not just a athlete problem. This is a human problem. And the more that we can empower people, the more that we can help them understand their bodies and understand how to heal. The definition of integrated is the exact same definition of heal. To make one, to make wholeness, to create oneness. And that's what we have to do mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally if we truly want to heal. You just can't be a muscle head on the outside and be sick internally and think that you're healthy. On the other side, you can't just not go to the gym and go to the therapist all day and be so aligned and do meditation and just know your purpose and be preaching from the stages. there's still disintegration. We need to make sure it's holistic, all-encompassing and integrated to realize that deep healing. And that's what we've been doing for hundreds of thousands of people who are business owners and business leaders, entrepreneurs for the last two and a half, three years. So it's been, that's kind of been that journey in what looks like about six and a half minutes. Seth Bradley That's incredible, man. There's so much to unpack in six and a half minutes there. Man, I don't even know where to start. I mean, it sounds like you've had this almost an obsession with data and reading that data from your body before everybody had a Fitbit, right? Justin Roethlingshoefer Oh, for sure. A Fitbit or some sort of watch, right? And you were doing this before that kind of hit the stage because it just interests. So like on that note, they're like definitely doing it before it was cool. But like quick story, when I was 12 years old, I asked my parents for a heart rate monitor for Christmas. And you have to realize this is back in 1998. So the heart rate monitors were not like they are now. You can't get them for 100 bucks. You can't get a wearable device that's cheap and easy. I think that the heart monitor then cost like $1,600. And they're like, why do you need a heart monitor? Like, are you sick? Is there something wrong? I was like, no, I'm just interested. Well, they're like, we're not buying one of these things. And I said, no, like, pool your money that you give me for Christmas, my birthday, and pool grandma and grandpa's money and pool like aunt and uncle's. Put it all together and that's all I want. You can just never get me a gift for the next year, not till next Christmas. So that's what they did. And that was literally how I got my first piece. And I've just been obsessed with it ever since of really being able to just provide information. Because I think understanding, knowledge is one thing, understanding is something completely different. And we need to be able to dissociate between information and understanding and help cross that bridge so that you can be empowered to take action in your own health. Seth Bradley Yeah. Yeah, that's incredible. Your parents kind of made that sacrifice to make it happen for you. I don't know if you would have been a little bit set back because they didn't provide that for you at that time, but it kind of catapulted you on this journey. You know, do you think that, you know, reading that data is maybe the first step in kind of working towards analyzing that holistic approach? Or where do you kind of see all this beginning? Justin Roethlingshoefer First step is, that's to be honest with you, that's the world's approach. The world's approach I say is a body up approach. So it's, there's four entities of health, right? Mental, physical, spiritual, emotional. And I attach each one of those to a different entity. So physical, your body. Emotional, your heart. Mental, your mind. And spirit, your spiritual component. And the world's approach is to take a bottom up body first approach. You need to get the wearable device. You need to start tracking all this stuff. You need to look at everything under the sun. You need to go get your DNA tested. You need to go get your blood tested. You need to go and do the cold plunge, the sauna, the red light, the intermittent fasting, the high intensity interval training. You have to do all the things because you have to get the six pack. You have to lose 20 pounds. You have to do whatever it might be. It's the body up approach. Well, that body up approach creates a poisoning of the heart, poisoning of the emotions, it brings on anxiety, it brings on fear, it brings on this feeling of overwhelm. All things that I experienced as a child, which is why I continue to pair them through, I was fearful of becoming fat again, thus I took things to an extreme. I was fearful of... not being able to have the energy to do what I wanted, thus I was acting out of certain things and I would have to go do my workouts and it would bring up massive anxiety because it was just so much and I was overwhelmed by it all. That poisoning of the heart creates a separation of the mind, thus I'm not good enough, I'm not strong enough, I'm never gonna get there, I'm not consistent enough, I'm not worthy of all these things. And that separation of the mind creates a cloudiness in our spirit, a cloudiness of who we are and what we identify with. I identified as a fat kid. I identified as the anorexic sick kid, the weird kid. That's what stuck with me and that's why I was never fully healthy even though at 20 years old to now at 36, I don't look any different. I've still got the six pack. I've still got the muscles. I still can lift a house. I still feel really strong. But it's not until about two, maybe even three years ago that I was holistically healthy, that I loved who I was, that I was really rooted. What we have to do is we have to take a top-down approach. We have to really create oneness in our spirit first. Who are we? Why are we here? What's our calling? What's our identity? What is that true desire that we're wanting to live for? Once we have that, we have a sense of oneness of our mind. We are worth it. We are good enough. We're exactly where we need to be. We're in a journey that's exciting. Thus that eliminates and creates a purification of our heart and eliminates the anxieties, eliminates the fears and puts us into a state of enthusiasm, energy, mental clarity, empowerment to go and step forward into these things powerfully, which then we're able to create consistency, sustainability and longevity of our body through our habits, behaviors and lifestyles that are now something we look forward to. And so coming back to your comment is the first thing we have to do is not get the wearable device, is not do the thing. The first thing we have to do is get our self right spiritually, which comes back to identifying who we are. Who do we identify as? What are we? What is our goal, our mission, our purpose? Because once we align that, once we get clear on that, everything else starts to fall into place. Seth Bradley Got it, got it. Yeah, and it's like that body up approach. It's easier to sell. The culture that we live in, it's just easier to sell products. It's easier to get people thinking they need to look a certain way. It's just that sales kind of approach, but it's backwards. You've got to get yourself right spiritually, mentally before the more the body type of physical things can even matter to you internally. Justin Roethlingshoefer I think, yes, I think you're right, but even as you start to look at that, why do you think we're more unhealthy now than ever? We are living in a place where there's more mental illness in our society than ever before. There's more anxiety than ever before. There's more depression than ever before. We're actually sicker physically than ever before. Diabetes is on the rise. Alzheimer's is on the rise. Alzheimer's is just type three diabetes. That's all it is. An inability to control blood sugar. We have an obesity epidemic rising. We have now 52% of Americans that are obese, not overweight, obese. And so it's not more information. It's not getting more of these things. It's not go do this, gym, go and do this thing. There is 77% of people who lose weight and get healthy, gain back the weight they lost. Why? Because it was done in an unsustainable way. They had a hole that they were searching to fill that didn't align along the way. And once they accomplished the certain outcome, it didn't make them feel any different. And so it comes back to this component of integrating everything together. And when I built Own It, that was the big thing I was focused on. Do you have to have an exercise routine? You're darn right you do. Do you have to have a new way of eating? You're darn right you do. Do you want to be able to supplement the right way? You sure do. Do you want to make sure you're sleeping well and have a recovery routine? You're darn right that's important. But you also have to have... the person who's gonna help you with self care, the person who's gonna get your mind right, the person who's gonna get your heart right, the people who are going to help you align in this way, which is why we've got everything in one place and everything had to be integrated. You can't be trying to put your own wheel together because when you put your own wheel together, you miss out. And so I wanted to create a space where somebody could walk in and everything is there. You're gonna come in, you're gonna have your team, your team that wraps their arms around you. You're gonna get your DNA testing, you're gonna get your cellular blood testing, you're gonna get your custom supplementation, you're gonna get your workout plan, you're gonna get your wearable piece of technology so that your health coaches and your functional medicine docs and your RDs can track everything and help you and guide you and put these things in place for you in a slow, iterative way so that over 12 months, you don't even recognize the habits you were in before. But on the same breath, you're gonna be working mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on identifying who you are and how do you get over this gap so we can create a bridge so that you do come in this state of oneness and you step into everything powerfully. And so as a business owner, as an executive, as a business leader, you have become transformed, not conformed to what we're telling you in the world. Seth Bradley Got it. So it truly is holistic, right? It's not let's start one thing two three four. It's all at once small steps to lead to a major change. Justin Roethlingshoefer 100%. And I think the reason that people aren't willing to have patience with it, they're not willing to be developed. Everybody wants to arrive. Everybody wants to get to the end result. But nobody's willing to take the trip. Nobody's willing to have great story. So we had a client who started, this guy owns 17 different franchises and he came to us about three months ago. Four weeks into his process, he called and goes, I'm unhappy, I'm not seeing changes. I've been in this for four weeks and I've just been adding some different habits. I'm looking at my wearable devices. I've just got my testing done. Nothing's changing yet. I said to him — and let's call this guy Chris — I said, Chris... We don't even have your full testing results back yet. We've only really started to implement a lot of these lifestyle changes and routines about three and a half weeks ago. We've only been able to get two really deep in-depth calls to get you realigned. We've only just started to add some of these things in. And you kind of talk him off a ledge, talk him off a ledge. He comes back, continues to be consistent. And just last week... He's been with us, like I said, for about three and a half months. Just last week, he sends us a screenshot. His quality of sleep used to be at about 37%. So REM and deep sleep totals over total time of sleep time. His quality sleep was always about 37%. He just passed 50%. His HRV, which is an intrinsic measure of how your body's adapting to stress and strain... was his average was about 24. Just for a little bit of context, your goal is to always see a trend line upwards. His trend line was always downwards. He has an average HRV now of 54. His respiration rate, meaning how many breaths per minute he's taking throughout the course of the day is dropping, meaning he's becoming more efficient. His blood glucose levels, because we've now tested twice, are half of what they were before. He was at a pre-diabetic level previously. His anxiety in terms of just talking is half of what it was and he's down 16 pounds. Seth Bradley Got it, got it. Yeah, and it's like that body up approach. It's easier to sell. The culture that we live in, it's just easier to sell products. It's easier to get people thinking they need to look a certain way. It's just that sales kind of approach, but it's backwards. You've got to get yourself right spiritually, mentally before the more the body type of physical things can even matter to you internally. Justin Roethlingshoefer I think, yes, I think you're right, but even as you start to look at that, why do you think we're more unhealthy now than ever?

You're gonna get your DNA testing, you're gonna get your cellular blood testing, you're gonna get your custom supplementation, you're gonna get your workout plan, you're gonna get your wearable piece of technology so that your health coaches and your functional medicine docs and your RDs can track everything and help you and guide you and put these things in place for you in a slow, iterative way so that over 12 months, you don't even recognize the habits you were in before. But on the same breath, you're gonna be working mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on identifying who you are and how do you get over this gap so we can create a bridge so that you do come in this state of oneness and you step into everything powerfully. And so as a business owner, as an executive, as a business leader, you have become transformed, not conformed to what we're telling you in the world. Seth Bradley Got it. So it truly is holistic, right? It's not let's start one thing two three four. It's all at once small steps to lead to a major change. Justin Roethlingshoefer 100%. And I think the reason that people aren't willing to have patience with it, they're not willing to be developed. Everybody wants to arrive. Everybody wants to get to the end result. But nobody's willing to take the trip. Nobody's willing to have great story. So we had a client who started, this guy owns 17 different franchises and he came to us about three months ago. Four weeks into his process, he called and goes, I'm unhappy, I'm not seeing changes. I've been in this for four weeks and I've just been adding some different habits. I'm looking at my wearable devices. I've just got my testing done. Nothing's changing yet. I said to him — and let's call this guy Chris — I said, Chris... We don't even have your full testing results back yet. We've only really started to implement a lot of these lifestyle changes and routines about three and a half weeks ago. We've only been able to get two really deep in-depth calls to get you realigned. We've only just started to add some of these things in. And you kind of talk him off a ledge, talk him off a ledge. He comes back, continues to be consistent. And just last week... He's been with us, like I said, for about three and a half months. Just last week, he sends us a screenshot. His quality of sleep used to be at about 37%. So REM and deep sleep totals over total time of sleep time. His quality sleep was always about 37%. He just passed 50%. His HRV, which is an intrinsic measure of how your body's adapting to stress and strain... was his average was about 24. Just for a little bit of context, your goal is to always see a trend line upwards. His trend line was always downwards. He has an average HRV now of 54. His respiration rate, meaning how many breaths per minute he's taking throughout the course of the day is dropping, meaning he's becoming more efficient. His blood glucose levels, because we've now tested twice, are half of what they were before. He was at a pre-diabetic level previously. His anxiety in terms of just talking is half of what it was and he's down 16 pounds.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1094: Today we celebrate the industry's next generation with Automotive News' 40 Under 40,  explore why used EVs are the hottest deal on the lot, and dig into Tesla's underwhelming Grok rollout.It's time to recognize the rising stars shaping the future of the retail automotive business. Automotive News has released its 14th annual “Retail 40 Under 40” list, spotlighting the next generation of dealership leadership.This year's honorees include GMs, dealer principals, CFOs, and department heads making real moves in their stores and communities.Dealerships represented range from large groups like Hendrick and Lithia to family-run independents.Standouts include Stephanie Frink, president of Hennessy Auto Cos., and Jake Sodikoff, dual-store dealer principal and president of Steven Nissan and Kia.The list highlights broad roles—from finance and marketing to fixed ops—showing leadership can come from any department.“These honorees are driving change, growth, and innovation in one of the most competitive industries in the world,” said Automotive News in its announcement.In a cooling EV market, used electric vehicles are emerging as the best deal on the lot—thanks to deep discounts and looming tax credit expirations.Used EV sales hit a record 100,000+ units in Q2, buoyed by steep price drops of nearly 32% in 2024.Buyers like Christopher Andrzejczak scored vehicles for less than half their original sticker prices.Used EVs depreciate faster than gas cars due to concerns about battery life and tech obsolescence.Demand is surging ahead of the $4,000 used EV tax credit's scheduled end in September.Eli Cook and his wife, preparing to move from Missouri to California, bought a used 2020 Tesla Model 3 for $15,000 in cash to avoid high Bay Area gas prices and missing out on the soon-to-expire tax credit. “It really seems like we're buying the dip for used EVs right now,” Cook said.Tesla's latest software update (2025.26) includes the long-awaited arrival of Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot. But before you get too excited…Grok currently doesn't do much inside the car.Grok is only available in U.S. vehicles with AMD infotainment chips—basically, Teslas made after mid-2021.It's in beta and can't issue voice commands or interact with vehicle systems yet.Right now, it's just like having Grok on your phone… but on your car's touchscreen.Other software tweaks include syncing ambient lighting to music, personalized audio presets, and enhanced Dashcam Viewer tools.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:10 Paul and Kyle are attending the 4th Annual Beaver Toyota and Mazda Golf Tournament2:20 The Automotive News 40 Under 40 List4:28 Used EVs are the Best Deal Right Now6:37 What Grok Currently Does In The Tesla AIJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
