Mark talks about honoring Goodyear's pioneering legacy — like the iconic Goodyear Blimp, now celebrating 100 years — while recognizing that past success can breed conservatism if left unchecked.At the core of all this change is a new way of thinking about partnerships. Mark discusses the shift from traditional supplier hierarchies to real, transparent collaborations — where information is shared, problems are solved together, and the success of one depends on the success of all.Beyond strategy, Mark shows what leadership looks like at a human level. From walking factory floors to learn how tires are made firsthand to personally rallying 68,000 associates around a simple, bold vision — to be number one in tires and service — he demonstrates that leadership today isn't about commanding from the top. It's about committing yourself fully to the people you serve.Mark shares glimpses of life outside the boardroom—from hiking with his Labradors in Akron's Metro Parks to binge-watching White Lotus to plotting a summer trip across Europe to see Robbie Williams live.These moments aren't distractions from leadership; they're reminders that authenticity—showing up fully human—is part of what makes great leadership real.Themes discussed in this episode:Why legacy companies must unlearn traditional business practices to survive industry disruptionHow EV tire technology and connected mobility are reshaping Goodyear's product strategyRevitalizing a legacy automotive brand: How Goodyear is transforming after 125 yearsBuilding supplier collaboration models for the future of the automotive supply chainMaking accountability and measurable KPIs the foundation of leadership transformationEmbedding innovation across all departments, not just R&D, to stay competitiveWhy reconnecting leadership with shop floor operations drives meaningful cultural changeHow Goodyear is rallying 68,000 global employees around a bold new vision for growthFeatured guest: Mark StewartWhat he does: Mark is the Chief Executive Officer and President of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, joining the company and its Board of Directors in January 2024. Previously, he held leadership roles at Stellantis, Amazon, and ZF TRW Automotive, overseeing global operations, EV transformations, and advanced technological innovations. Known for championing diversity and economic equality, Mark has been recognized with awards such as the COO of the Year by the...

After 45 years with the company, 42 of which in motorsports and 26 in NASCAR, Goodyear's Greg Stucker is calling it a career. Goodyear Tire & Rubber's Director of Racing joins Davey Segal ahead of his retirement (5:55) to discuss how he got involved in motorsports with Goodyear after graduating from Vanderbilt, learning racing on the fly with little prior knowledge and getting thrown into the fire from short tracks to IndyCar. Stucker also dives into some major takeaways from 2024, including the use of wet weather tires and potential future use of them on intermediates, option tires and how soft of a compound they can actually make, what happened at spring Bristol (if they even know, still) and the differences in concrete vs. asphalt as it pertains to tire wear and temperature. He also reminisces about the good and bad days on the job, including the 2008 Brickyard 400 and why that wound up changing things for the better with their processes, tire wars in the 1990s, the famous Goodyear Blimp, gold car and the meaningful styory behind his patented aviators at the track.

Join us on this week's episode where we sit down with Bill "The Weatherguy" Korbell, a man who's forecasted everything from monsoons in Thailand to the less-than-perfect day for a presidential flight. Starting off his career in the sweltering heat of 1960s Thailand with the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing, Bill was the go-to meteorologist briefing for Operation Bolo, which aimed to outsmart the nimble NV MiG 21s that were giving our bombers a hard time. But as winds do, they shifted unexpectedly, and a last-minute change in orders rerouted Bill's life straight to Washington D.C. There, among his high-flying duties, he briefed missions for none other than Air Force One. Ever wondered how a small slip-up in weather forecasting could lead to an unforgettable podcast title? You'll chuckle as Bill explains the mishap that inspired this week's episode title: "It's a Lot Like Yesterday." Post-Air Force, Bill didn't just hang up his barometer. No, he soared into the world of radio and TV, where he managed to snag a ride in the Goodyear Blimp, Air Force One and flew with the Blue Angels—talk about a career high! Now, grab your aviator glasses and tune in. Bill's about to share some sky-high tales and invaluable insights on aviation weather that might just save your next flight from being a washout. Buckle up—it's going to be a thrilling ride with Bill, where every cloud has a silver lining!

This week, on the 142nd edition of the Black Lincoln Collective Podcast, the unexpected becomes the norm, and the norm is anything but ordinary. We take you on a whirlwind of adventures that span from the mysterious to the downright hilarious. Witness the spectacle of the Aurora Borealis from the southern states, only to be outshone by the unexpected appearance of the Goodyear Blimp. Join the crew as they recount their attempts to chase the elusive northern lights, leading to a comedy of errors that involves midnight drives, a lost shoe's return from the ocean's depths, and the inevitable clash between celestial phenomena and inflatable advertising. But that's just the beginning. Fred shares his beach escapades during an ill-timed Bike Week, and the crew debates the controversial ruling of tacos and burritos as sandwiches. In a turn of events, the BLC podcast uncovers the decline of the infamous Yakuza, now resorting to Pokémon card heists, and mourns the loss of South Carolina's famed UFO Welcome Center. #BLCpodcast #Episode142 #NorthernLights #BlimpLove #BeachFollies #SandwichDebate #YakuzaPokemon #UFOLossListen at: https://blc.world/Tweet the Show: https://twitter.com/blcworldFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/Check us out on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/Support the Show:https://www.patreon.com/blcworld 00:00:00 - Welcome to the Black Lincoln Collective podcast.00:00:53 - Welcome to the 142nd edition 00:04:59 - Aurora Borealis, more like Bore-ora Snor-ealis00:13:15 - Fred and his beach life00:17:31 - Were jellyfish named after jelly or was jelly named after fish00:20:15 - Allan says he slept through Tuesday's tornado warnings00:21:36 - We watched the movie that's taking the world by storm00:23:11 - The movie is about Kellogg's versus post versus the pop tart00:26:40 -  I watched the movie this afternoon and it wasn't great00:31:02 - Black Lincoln Collective podcast returns with a little something different this month00:33:12 - Fred: Garfield is the cartoon cat that will never die00:35:35 - Fred: What's wrong with kids having weird names?

February 14: This week marks the anniversary of an accident. Not a normal accident. A blimp accident.

Today's guest is the Mega Magic star himself, Franz Harary. Franz Harary's groundbreaking illusion designs have changed the entire scope of modern magic, and his spectacular brand of grand illusion has been dubbed, “Mega Magic” by the international press.  His magic is on really a large scale, and includes such feats as vanishing the Taj Mahal, moving Hawaii's Diamond Head volcano two miles out to sea, teleporting people from Japan to Los Angeles, making the Goodyear Blimp turn invisible, and even making the NASA Space Shuttle Explorer disappear! He's been featured on many television shows like World's Greatest Magic and Masters of Illusion, and has also appeared in other television specials airing in Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, and India, among others.  Franz Haray has also designed illusions for many well-known musical artists, like N*SYNC, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Usher, Reba McEntire and Missy Elliott, among many others. This was another one of my childhood heroes growing up, and I'm so honored to have had the chance to speak with him. To learn more about Franz Harary, visit his website at franzharary.com.

Florida State has been noticeably outspoken this college football offseason about their happiness (or lack thereof) with the state of the ACC, the conference in which they play. After a summer of seismic shifts to the college football landscape, most notably with the Pac-12 seemingly disintegrating before our eyes, attention has shifted to FSU to see if they'd be the next major university to seek greener pastures, presumably in the Big Ten or SEC.Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde kick off today's podcast on this very subject. With the August 15th deadline to announce an intention to leave for the 2024 season now in the rear view mirror, will FSU make an announcement before next August with their hearts set on a 2025 exit? Is the Big Ten or SEC the most logical suitor, or would FSU go independent for a few years to see how the dust settles before making a new commitment.In more conference realignment news, Ross provides an update on where the College Football Playoff might take their format now that the Pac-12 will likely no longer be considered a Power Five conference. Could the upcoming format shift to six conference winners plus 6 at-large bids be scrapped in favor of a 'five plus seven' arrangement, or will the CFP opt to just take the 12 highest ranked teams? Ross explains the internal politics of where both options stand right now.In the world of entertainment, the guys react to the latest Netflix documentary, Untold: Johnny Football, about former Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel & chat about the new drama regarding former Ole Miss tackle Michael Oher, whose story was famously adapted into the Sandra Bullock film, The Blindside.Closing out the podcast, the crew chats about Peyton Manning's latest gig, school-branded alcohol, Eggo-flavored liqueur & an update from the Goodyear Blimp.0:30 - FSU looking to leave ACC in 2025?14:55 - Another CFP format change?30:35 - Johnny Manziel documentary44:50 - Michael Oher "Blindside" drama53:15 - Professor Peyton Manning55:30 - Alcohol & blimp newsFollow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Over the weekend, news broke that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh would likely not be suspended for the first four games of the 2023 college football season, after initially agreeing to the punishment a few weeks prior. Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde dive into the NCAA's internal politics that resulted in this news and the organization's stunning "not a cheeseburger" comments that sent this story from semi-reasonable to absurd.What's clear in all of this is that it will take so long to adjudicate, that Harbaugh may once again return to the NFL in early 2024, right when a full penalty would be issued, letting him coach this season in its entirety and get away scot-free.In other news, the ACC's attempt to acquire Stanford, Cal-Berkley & SMU has reportedly hit a major snag. ACC stalwarts Florida State, Clemson, NC State & North Carolina are allegedly not in favor of the three new entrants and any deal seems unlikely. The guys talk about what it means for the ACC, the four dissenting schools & the suddenly very lonely Stanford.In less than two weeks, we have actual college football action. The crew conducts a draft to pick their favorite six games in the opening week of the season.Closing out the show, a brief entry into the People's Court where the important question is asked: is the Goodyear Blimp spying on SEC schools on behalf of Ohio State?0:00 - Jim Harbaugh's 4-game suspension likely on hold33:05 - ACC's attempt to bring in SMU, Cal, Stanford likely DOA47:25 - Week 0/Week 1 Games draft57:45 - People's Court: Spy BlimpsFollow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's podcast breaks down two main topics: the details (and hypocrisy) behind the NFL's recent sports gambling suspensions and the fascinating economics behind the Goodyear Blimp. Enjoy!

Up, up and away! This week Mike goes for a ride on the Goodyear Blimp to learn all about how they operate and then some.    

You're wearing everybody out with your bullshit, Bro. And you're not even aware of it, which makes it doubly frustrating for anyone who sees through your facade. The way you peacock in da club, flossin' big blings with this month's overpriced designer logo plastered on the front of your hoodie, effectively transforms you into a walking Goodyear Blimp.  There goes your credit score again. Because you spent a month's rent on your outfit while you're two months behind on your water bill, which befuddles those of us who wonder if you're playing to a real crowd, or an imaginary one. Not like ghosts or an apparition, but a make-believe media who's flashing lights are a reminder to keep your chin raised along your fictional red-carpet strut. This is your move—to tease any casual onlookers into a double take--a deceptive trick to test their memory. Did they see you on a reality television show? No, it was at this club for the past sixteen Saturday nights in a row. This is your dominion, where your popularity stock fluctuates depending on the frequency that you are seen.  In the Ikea bathroom mirror of your aunt's condo two blocks from where you dropped out of high school, you've practiced the hero pose countless times before moving closer and tweezing an eyebrow hair. Or popping a zit. This is where you prepare for your discovery, ready for the world when that big time celeb scout recognizes the potential that can't be denied.  They might ask you, “What is your talent?” To which you respond, “I can do just about anything.” “Can you be specific?”  You're thinking.  “Glad we had this talk.” Where did your parents go wrong?  By teaching you to stay away from weed. They said it makes you stupid.

A couple of weeks ago, I was looking through some photographs, and I came across some pictures I took of the Goodyear Blimp, anchored in Carson, California, right next to the freeway. Those pictures got me thinking. What must it have been like to fly in the big dirigibles of the 1930s, those gigantic, hydrogen-filled airships that were sometimes called flying ocean liners? People took long trips on those things—and not a few people. By the time the Hindenburg met its fiery end in New Jersey, more than 3,500 people had made commercial flights aboard the Hindenburg or its sister ship, the Graf Zeppelin; in fact, when the Hindenburg burned, it was in its second season of transatlantic flight. In this episode, we talk about life aboard these behemoths, as John Geoghegan refers to them in his book about these massive airships, When Giants Ruled the Sky. John Geoghegan agreed to join me on this program, as did Alexander Rose, whose book, Empires of the Sky: Zeppelins, Airplanes, and Two Men's Epic Duel to Rule the World, tells the story of the battle between zeppelins and airplanes in the early days of commercial flight.

So, the government really did bug Edda's bikini bottoms. And her response to that is to dangle her recently removed bikini from a window to confuse the agents of the Creepy National Furtiveness Agency (you know, the CNFA). Somehow, Edda knows to lower the bikini bottom down to the open window (she knows it's open somehow?) where two children are talking about inflatable office buildings. As if "inflatable office building" is a toy that children can buy and/or would be interested in for some reason. The children talking about "blowing up" these inflatable buildings convinces the CNFA that actual buildings are being exploded. So they arrest Amos & Edda (hooray!) only to let them go immediately (boo!). They explain that they overheard the plot on Edda's bugged bikini bottom. Edda, wearing a dress, explains that she is not in fact wearing her bikini bottom under her dress. Because that is something that needs to be clarified. Edda talking about not wearing her bikini bottom convinces the CNFA agents that she's likely not wearing underwear, I guess. So it short circuits their brains, because that's what women talking about undergarments does to men ALWAYS. Edda & Amos leave the short-circuited agents in their apartment and go to dinner. And at dinner, Edda tells Amos she's not wearing her bikini bottom and that short-circuits him too. Because men are incapable of hearing about undergarments without being paralyzed. Fun stuff!

There’s something almost romantic about airships. The image of a giant, floating aircraft feels both nostalgic and futuristic. In the early 20th century, airships were on the leading edge of aviation; today, they mostly live on in the domain of steampunk art and speculative fiction. But a number of companies are betting they can bring airships out of the history books and into modern real-world applications like cargo transport and military uses. This hour, the past and future of airships, both real and imagined. GUESTS: Nick Allman: Chief operating officer of Hybrid Air Vehicles Jeanne Marie Laskas: A journalist and the author of eight books; in 2016 she published “Helium Dreams” in The New Yorker Ken Liu: A futurist and author of speculative fiction, including The Dandelion Dynasty, an epic fantasy series featuring airships The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.
