Matthew (Matt) A. Tyner, Sr. is the author of Fast and Hard: From Addictions to Redemption.    He is a man who has reinvented himself and has invested his second chance at life with building positive relationships with those around him. Matt is best known for his work as a college baseball coach, but many know him as a walk-on baseball player from the prestigious University of Miami Baseball program that made three consecutive College World Series appearances. When all the world looked bright for Matt, it was his own demons who sabotaged all of his professional and personal opportunities.  For decades he was cross addicted to drugs and alcohol, while mired in the muck of unsavory behaviors. His painfully raw memoir chronicles the scared boy running toward the monster of addictions and finally to how he found redemption. Matt speaks to reaching the ill-fated rock bottom.  His memoir shows that if not for his reckoning with his demons, he would surely have lost his life. Fast and Hard is a dark story that ends with a man accepting the embrace of his spiritual awakening, the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and the forgiveness from his family and friends. For those longing for the life of a professional athlete, Matt shares the reality of the pitfalls and detours of a professional Minor League player. He is long past his days of playing for the franchises of the Baltimore Orioles, but his recall of those days is incredible.  That life could never compare to the present life of being clean and sober for over two decades. In his addiction free life, he has dedicated his life to serving others and provides leadership through coaching and public speaking to thousands of men and women of all ages. Matt is currently a NCAA Division I Head Baseball Coach for Towson University. He is also the owner of MLT Sports Investments, LLC and a professional motivational speaker for Tyner Effect (www.Tynereffect.com). His educational background includes undergraduate studies at the University of Miami and his bachelor's degree in Business Communications from Concordia University, Indianapolis, IN Campus. https://tynereffect.com Fast & Hard - From Addictions to Redemption: https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Hard-Matthew-Tyner-Sr/dp/B0F1C3KVVD HELP SUPPORT OUR FIGHT AGAINST ADDICTION.

While the film highlights the explosive rise of NFTs, it also shows the major risks — especially if you're late to the party. Plus, selling music albums as NFTs? Yeah... not the greatest idea.

This week on the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm catching up with Jake Hofer. If you're into getting better at hunting and managing ground the right way, this one's for you. We talk about the real work behind whitetail management, the kind that doesn't show up in a highlight reel—tree planting, fixing screw-ups, and learning to let the land teach you a few hard lessons. Jake also talks about stepping into ownership at Whitetail Master Academy, and how diving deeper into habitat work and smarter hunting strategies has changed how he approaches chasing big deer. We cover everything from balancing work, life, and whitetails, to late-season muzzleloader success, to how traditional archery will flat-out expose your weaknesses. If you want the honest version of what it takes to get better in the deer woods, it's all packed into this episode. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 438 Balance the chaos—hunting, work, and life all even out over time. Smarter hunting starts with efficient scouting and patient land management. Every property has a ceiling—success comes from knowing and working with it. Growth in the woods (and in life) is about learning, failing, and staying hungry.

[WEEKEND RECAP 04-06-25] Conservatives understand human nature better than anyone. We don't fall for the Left's utopian nonsense that all behavior should be normalized. We recognize that some actions are inherently destructive. But we also believe in the principle “hate the sin, love the sinner.” Contrast that with the Left, who pretend to be the party of tolerance while being the most judgmental, ruthless ideologues in modern history.They claim to care about humanity, yet they excuse the most depraved behaviors imaginable. They pack our prisons. They glorify criminals. They redefine violent crime as "misunderstood behavior." They make excuses for murderers, rapists, and human traffickers while attacking law-abiding citizens for merely expressing conservative views.   Psychologists call this moral disengagement—the mental gymnastics people use to justify their own hypocrisy and cruelty. It's how radical activists can scream about "justice" while excusing looting, arson, and even murder if it serves their political cause. It's why they'll defend a convicted killer as a "victim of systemic oppression" while calling a suburban dad a "Nazi" for voting Republican.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

He also digs deep into market conditions, sharing what he's seeing as the industry matures, where opportunity still lies, and why having a “moat” around your investment is more crucial than ever.If you've enjoyed this episode of the Cash Flow Positive podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!

*FAN MAIL: Text Greg your comments!Flight instructing offers some of the most rewarding flying there is. We experience the joy of fulfilling our students' dreams of flight, become better pilots ourselves in the process, and develop lifelong friendships with many of those we teach. But among hours and hours of routine teaching and flying, there are occasional hard lessons, too, most often unanticipated. And those hard lessons are generally even more eye-opening and profound for us instructors than for our students. Above all, we learn that while maintaining a relaxed cockpit learning environment, we must never become complacent. Okay, everyone, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, buckle into the pilot's seat, and prepare for takeoff on Flight Number 36, “Bowling Alley Hot Dogs.” Support the showhttps://gregbrownflyingcarpet.com/podcast/https://www.facebook.com/GregBrownFlyingCarpet/https://www.instagram.com/gregbrownflyingcarpet/

What does it really take to launch a short-term rental successfully—when things don't go as planned? In this solo episode of Cash Flow Positive, Kenny Bedwell pulls back the curtain on two recent STR setup experiences that tested his patience, budget, and systems.Kenneth shares everything he learned while launching properties in Asheville and Kentucky, including working with designers, managing contractors, and navigating delays, disasters, and unexpected design decisions. One project turned into a complete nightmare, with miscommunications, missed deadlines, and a designer who ghosted him in the middle of the process. The other? A more streamlined—but still challenging—process that highlighted the value of clear communication, strong referrals, and aligned teams.If you've ever thought about hiring a designer or project manager to help launch an STR—or wondered what pitfalls to avoid—this episode delivers a firsthand look at what not to do and what you can do instead to protect your investment and timeline.If you've enjoyed this episode of the Cash Flow Positive podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!

PREVIEW: Colleague Grant Newsham finds hard lessons in three war endings similar to potential Ukraine outcomes. More later. 1953 KOREA

We're joined today by Chef Johnny Lee, the mastermind behind Rasarumah, one of LA's hottest new restaurants serving inventive Southeast Asian food with a heavy Malaysian bent. Chef Johnny joins us to talk about the new concept, but also about what it was like to say goodbye to his deeply personal project Pearl River Deli. We talk about Hainan chicken, the struggles of learning to be a business operator when you've mostly worked the line your entire career, and what it's been like to partner with Last Word Hospitality on his new exciting venture.But first, I had the distinct pleasure of attending Taco Bell's Live Mas Live event in Brooklyn earlier this week. This is their event in the mold of Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in which they offer sneak peeks from their test kitchen and roll out the new menu items for the year ahead. I met up with Daniel Wargo AKA Forking Around in the lobby of our hotel the morning after the event to debrief. Yes, we talk about which drops we're most excited about, but we also ask ourselves what LA restaurants can learn from the Live Mas lifestyle. I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this event - not just the food, but really the ethos behind what Taco Bell does to innovate and to build a relationship with its fans. I think there's tons that even the most mom and pop of establishments can learn by taking a page out of the chalupa handbook, so to speak. Helpful links:Rasarumah https://rasarumah.com/Taco Bell Live Mas LIVE recap https://www.chowhound.com/1804512/taco-bell-new-menu-items-2025/Daniel Wargo https://www.instagram.com/forkingaround.tv/?hl=en–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

"Is it hard to do a podcast?" is one of the most common questions I get asked after people learn that I have a podcast.It's not hard to start. The HARD part is being consistent. It's doing it and then continuing  to create it once the initial sparkles and warm fuzzies wear off, and you're supposed to contact a guest, or record an intro, or talk with an editor, and you just plain don't want to!! Like stomp-your-feet, put-your-foot-down, not in the mood to do it.Staying CONSISTENT is honestly what changes the game and this applies to practically everything you want to do. How do you get started, and more importantly, what steps will you take to remain consistent? I share about how this leads to"Yes, And" thinkingBuilding your confidence, and My journey of starting "Women with Cool Jobs" 5 years ago in February 2020!If you've ever thought about starting something new—whether it's a podcast, a business, or a passion project—this episode is for you. Julie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn)Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.
