Chris Russell lays out his top priority for the Washington Commanders this offseason, identifying Jaelan Phillips as his number one target with the star edge rusher set to hit free agency. He also discusses other high-impact options the Commanders could pursue to upgrade their pass rush, including Maxx Crosby, Trey Hendrickson, and Bradley Chubb. Russell stresses that this is the moment for the organization, and general manager Adam Peters, to be aggressive rather than conservative, arguing that playing it safe, as they have in recent offseasons, won't be enough to take the Commanders to the next level.
Most entrepreneurs try to scale by working harder. John Pennington scaled by changing the structure.In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars sits down with John Pennington — a 14-time entrepreneur who built a fund platform that snowballed into $28B in assets under management, 1,000 employees across 33 states, and a New York Stock Exchange listing.They break down what actually makes growth “unstoppable”: why a fund structure scales when most businesses stall and how to recruit people who are smarter than you by offering ownership instead of a paycheck. John also explains the real mechanics of raising capital — from high-net-worth investors to institutions — and why you must become “institution-ready” before they take you seriously.Subscribe, share it with the operator who keeps trying to do it all, and press play.About John Pennington: John Pennington is a serial entrepreneur and fund builder who has started 14 businesses and learned the hard way why most companies struggle to scale. His breakthrough came through building a general partnership / limited partnership fund platform across multiple asset classes — from real estate lending to multifamily, senior living, office, and industrial — ultimately helping grow a firm to $28B AUM and a public listing. He's known for pairing structure with elite talent, using equity to attract high-level partners, and playing the long game to raise institutional capital.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world. Over the course of his 30-year career as an entrepreneur, Brad has become the CEO of 9+ companies and is the owner of the multimillion-dollar franchise ActionCOACH®. As a husband and father of five, Brad is equally as passionate about his family as he is about business. That's why, Brad is a strong advocate for building a business that works without you – so you can spend more time doing what really matters to you. Over the years of starting, scaling and selling many businesses, Brad has earned his fair share of scars. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy road. But if you can learn from those who have gone before you, it becomes a lot easier than going at it alone.

Startups and corporates need each other. But most partnerships fall apart. In this episode, Ian Bergman talks with Noga Tal about what actually makes these relationships work. They break down why thinking big early is not hype, it is planning. How founders can back up a bold vision with data and steps. Why corporate bureaucracy kills momentum. How to align on the real why, set shared metrics, and define an exit plan that protects the relationship. They also dig into emerging markets, what AI changes, why AI creates more noise than ever, and how to keep the human element alive while moving fast.Topics & Timestamps

This week on Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the key takeaways from a new George R.R. Martin profile that gives a clearer picture of where Westeros could be headed next. The biggest headline is Aegon the Conqueror's story, which is being discussed as either a massive “Dune-like” theatrical feature or an HBO series, with budget and scale being the deciding factor.We also touch on how A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Dunk and Egg) is being positioned as a more budget-friendly Westeros show with a smaller scope but strong character work, plus an update on how a Sea Snake/Valyrian-era project reportedly shifted from live action to animation. Finally, we revisit the scrapped Jon Snow sequel idea and why it may be getting another pass, even as Martin remains focused on finishing The Winds of Winter.00:00 Aegon's Conquest in discussion, movie vs HBO series00:17 Why budget is the real deciding factor and why it might belong on a big screen00:25 Dunk and Egg plans, future novellas, and early excitement for the cast00:31 The Jon Snow sequel that got shelved for being too dark00:43 Why post-Thrones sequels are tricky while the books are unfinished00:56 Sea Snake/Valyrian project shift to animation, the push for cheaper Westeros stories01:11 Why Dunk and Egg works as a lighter, smaller, dialogue-driven show01:34 Personal takeaway on Winds of Winter pressure, plus recommending the profile01:40 Wrap-upAegon's Conquest is being kicked around as either a theatrical-scale film or an HBO series, with budget driving the decision.The Conquest story feels built for spectacle, especially if they want battles that really land visually.Dunk and Egg is being framed as a smart scope reset: character-first, cheaper to produce, and still very “Westeros.”Martin wants to write more Dunk and Egg stories, beyond the three existing novellas.The Jon Snow sequel idea reportedly stalled because the tone was too bleak, but the concept may be resurfacing in some form.Another Westeros project tied to the Sea Snake/Valyrian side of the world reportedly moved from live action to animation to control costs.The profile reframes the Winds of Winter conversation with a more human lens, especially around how fans talk about time and pressure.“Either way, the budget is really what it comes down to.” “It was a nice little reset in my mind to not be so harsh on him.” “Make sure you guys check it out.” If you enjoyed this quick Westeros update, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a rating and review, and share the episode using #GeekFreaksHeadlines.All news discussed on the show is sourced through GeekFreaks Podcast dot com.Twitter: @geekfreakspodInstagram: @geekfreakspodcastThreads: @geekfreakspodcastFacebook: Geek Freaks PodcastPatreon: GeekFreaksPodcastGot a theory about Aegon's Conquest, Dunk and Egg, or where Westeros goes next?

The conversation also explores how tokens accrue value and whether there will be a new M&A trend that'll reshape the industry as we know it. Plus: don't miss what they have to say about NFTs, financial nihilism, and whether we'll see all-time highs for bitcoin in 2026.

How do you make sure your capital actually works for you—and doesn't just sit idle or worse, lose value? This episode takes a realistic look at opportunity cost, comparing the potential of real estate against dividend-paying stocks, fixed deposits, and other asset classes. It challenges the assumption that property always performs, and instead asks: when does it truly outperform? Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers explores whether a $500,000 paper margin gain is still achievable in the current market, and what strategies can make it possible. He breaks down common traps like stagnating assets, explains the impact of lease decay, and shares how quadrant-based property selection can change your long-term results. Through examples like penthouse plays and timing your asset exits, this is a strategic guide to deploying capital with intention. If you're rethinking where to invest in 2025 or comparing real estate to other vehicles, this discussion offers grounded, practical insight. 00:00 Hook (Opportunity Cost of Investing) 00:17 Intro 00:35 $500K Quantum paper margin gain 01:59 Main Title = "Is $500K still possible?" 02:06 4 Classes of Prosperity Investing 07:17 4 Types of properties 08:44 Imagine your property Stagnates 11:00 Strategy 1: Go Big or Go Home 23:58 Invested for Buyers - Rio vista 3+Study penthouse 27:03 Strategy 2: Go Stronger but be Careful of the Exit Quantum 33:47 Sneak Peek of Episode 28 33:58 Outro
As we wrap up 2025 and start dreaming about our goals for the New Year, this week's guest, ultracyclist Paula Ralph, has one simple message: Just go for it. We often wait until we're 100% ready—which usually means we never start. But whether you succeed or fall short, you'll be better for having tried. Paula knows this firsthand. She set out to break a world record riding solo from Cape Town, South Africa to Nordkapp, Norway. Sponsors pulled out. Mechanical issues piled up. She got heat stroke…and hit by a truck. Safety concerns forced reroutes. The record slipped away. But she didn't stop. She kept going—ultimately riding 12,290 km across 17 countries in 126 days. And what she gained was far bigger than a record: proof that she's stronger than she ever imagined, and a reminder of what midlife women can do when we dare to go big.Paula Ralph is a solo endurance cyclist who rode unsupported from Cape Town to Nordkapp, Norway — a 12,290 km journey across 17 countries in just 126 days. What began as a world record attempt quickly turned into a raw test of resilience. Navigating relentless challenges, both on and off the bike, Paula had to let go of the record and hold on to something more powerful — the will to keep going.

In this episode of the Guns Podcast U.S., hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington tackle the age-old question facing new shooters and gift-givers: What is the best first gun to buy? They challenge the common misconception that smaller, lightweight firearms are easier for beginners to handle, explaining why a larger frame often leads to a better learning experience and less recoil intimidation. The duo also dives into the "Call of Duty" effect, discussing how video games give a false sense of competency regarding firearms handling, mechanics, and physics. Through personal anecdotes involving family members and friends, Roy and Brent illustrate the stark contrast between virtual shooting and the real-world skills required to operate a firearm safely. Finally, with the holiday season in mind, the hosts discuss the ethics and logistics of gifting firearms. They offer practical advice on why surprising someone with a gun might not be the best idea and suggest alternative gifts like training or accessories that empower the new shooter to make their own informed decisions. Key Takeaways - Small, lightweight guns often have sharper recoil and are harder for beginners to control than medium or large-frame firearms. - Avoid buying a firearm as a surprise gift unless you know exactly what the recipient wants; consider gift cards or training instead. - Video game experience does not translate to real-world shooting skills or safety knowledge. - A 4-inch K-frame revolver is often cited as an ideal learning tool due to its simplicity and manageable recoil. - Complex semi-autos with external safeties can be overwhelming for a novice compared to the simplicity of a revolver. - Gifting a gun to a child or novice implies a long-term commitment to mentoring them in safety and maintenance. - Start beginners with basic tools and simple firearms before moving on to expensive, complex 'tactical' gear. - Have a topic idea or a guest you'd like to see in a future episode?

Bucco Brew hit the ground running live from the MLB Winter Meetings, and this episode had everything Pirates fans could ask for: real buzz, real rumors, and yes, a real offer on the table for Kyle Schwarber. DiNardo and Jim broke down the energy in Orlando, from late-night networking to waking up to a flurry of Pirates news. The guys revisited the Jhostynxon Garcia trade with a more level head after sleeping on it, debated his upside, and dug into the waiver claim of former top prospect Marco Luciano. Then came the headline topic: Pittsburgh reportedly offering Schwarber four years and around $100 million, an unprecedented swing that could redefine the franchise's direction. They also touched on the Ketel Marte chatter, Barry Bonds' Hall of Fame snub, and what might unfold as the Winter Meetings heat up. It's a loaded week, and this episode sets the tone perfectly.

BT & Sal are demanding that the Yankees finally go on a "big offseason" spending spree and become aggressive in their pursuit of a championship. They debate the necessity of re-signing Cody Bellinger (arguing that losing him makes the team worse) and whether the team has the "appetite" for a massive, multi-year contract for a star like Alex Bregman (predicted to cost about $173M). The hosts also slam the organization for its glut of positional players (DHs, limited defenders) and insist that to make room for necessary additions, Cashman "has to trade" at least one young, high-potential player like Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones. They conclude that with the clocks ticking on Judge and Cole, the Yankees can no longer afford to be held back by smaller contracts or cheap team-building strategies.
BT & Sal demand aggression from David Stearns, urging the Mets to stop playing a waiting game and "call the bluff" with a massive offer to lock up Pete Alonso. They debate if Stearns' "prudent" style fits the Cohen-era pressure. The guys explode over the rumor that Pirates ace Paul Skenes wants to be a Yankee, arguing New York must give up Clarke Schlittler and "whatever it takes" to acquire the generational arm. On the gridiron, they dissect the Giants' coaching chaos under Mike Kafka and slam Jets coach Aaron Glenn for his "prick" and "petty" media feuds over injury questions. Finally, the show features two star interviews: UFC middleweight Bo Nickal discusses his career and mentality, prompting BT to "hammer the bet," and legendary comedian Jay Leno shares unfiltered takes on the Conan O'Brien drama and his famous prank war with David Letterman. The segment concludes with Three Random Questions (3RQ): Is it odd to have feelings for a plant or non-living thing? What's your favorite soup? Where would you rank Sauce Gardner amongst other sauces?
BT & Sal dive into the high-stakes GM meetings, demanding the Mets' front office stop their "penny stock" ways and "Go BIG" to close the gap with the Dodgers. They debate an all-star offseason wishlist—Bellinger, Bregman, Alonso—and whether the Yankees should trade Cam Schlittler for Paul Skenes now. The temperature spikes as they slam Jets coach Aaron Glenn for his petty and unnecessary feud with the media, calling out his "prick" behavior for deflecting injury questions and questioning his overall "Parcells-lite" strategy. Finally, UFC Middleweight Bo Nickal joins the studio ahead of his main prelim event at UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden. Nickal discusses overcoming his first career loss, the mentality of a fighter, and why MMA is a more complete sport than boxing. Tierney gets so sold on Nickal's confidence that he vows to "hammer the odds" on his fight!
