In this episode, Dan and Lauren are joined by Dr. Trisha Teig, leadership educator at the Archer Center for Student Leadership Development at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Dr. Joshua Taylor, director of the Hargis Leadership Institute at Oklahoma State University, co-editors of New Directions for Student Leadership Issue #189, Leadership Learning Through Study Abroad: Considerations, Best Practices, and Innovative Ideas. This marks the 21st episode in the TLE–NDSL partnership series. Both editors came to the work through practice: Teig built programs in Costa Rica, Ireland, and Northern Ireland through the Pioneer Leadership Program at the University of Denver, while Taylor has led roughly a dozen short-term programs across six continents, most recently a 47-student program in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The conversation returns repeatedly to access. Both editors are direct that study abroad cannot remain, as Teig puts it, for the rich and elite only, and the issue treats structural choices — third-party providers versus faculty-led courses, cost, program design — as the levers that determine who participates. Teig discusses applying Heifetz's adaptive leadership framework to sort anticipatable risk from the genuinely unforeseeable, while Taylor describes nightly campfire reflection as the structural backbone of a faculty- and staff-led program in rural Zimbabwe. Both land on the same point about emergent curriculum: the learning that matters often has to be facilitated in the moment. And both are emphatic that leading study abroad is immersive, always-on professional work — Taylor has now been in hospitals with students on six different continents — while still urging educators who haven't led one to find or create the opportunity. Resources mentioned in this episode: New Directions for Student Leadership, Issue #189: Leadership Learning Through Study Abroad — the issue at the center of this conversation, co-edited by Teig and Taylor Volpe White, J. M., Guthrie, K. L., & Torres, M. (2019). Thinking to Transform: Reflection in Leadership Learning. Information Age Publishing — the reflection scholarship Taylor connects to his program's nightly debriefs Hoffa, W. W. (2007). A History of U.S. Study Abroad: Beginnings to 1965. Forum on Education Abroad — a foundational source for Teig's historical research in the issue Heifetz, R. A., & Linsky, M. — the adaptive leadership framework Teig uses to categorize program risk Archer Center for Student Leadership Development, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute — Teig's center Hargis Leadership Institute, Oklahoma State University — Taylor's institute Service Learning in a Pandemic with Dr. Tara Coste — Coste's prior TLE appearance; she contributes to Issue #189 and collaborates with Dan on his Cape Town program

Effective adaptive leadership and navigating current global issues—including the impact of the AIRevolution—require more than just strategic vision; it demands the moral courage and bold leadership to bridge lines of difference in an increasingly complex world. In this episode, Mabel Nederlof Sithole explores the intersection of personal conviction and professional influence, reflecting on her experiences designing leadership development programs—drawing on the frameworks of Heifetz and Linsky from the Harvard Kennedy School. Drawing from her extensive research on presidential leadership and crisis leadership in South Africa, Sithole identifies the golden threads that connect impactful leaders—from Nelson Mandela to contemporary figures—and offers a compelling framework for navigating global crises. Discover why cultivating the next tier of leadership is not just an organizational necessity, but a vital mandate for creating a more just and inclusive future.Love the show?

We kick off the show by discussing the contract extensions that Bijan Robinson (03:02) and Zay Flowers (03:57) received. What does this mean for Jahmyr Gibbs' hold-in?

Training camp is underway, and the guys are digging through the biggest stories out of the first week of practices. Are the 49ers cursed (02:58)? How much impact is the substation (which looms over every 49ers practice) having on these injuries? After they break down Ricky Pearsall's season-ending surgery, Heifetz expresses his concerns about the 2024 wide receiver class (16:14). Then, it looks like Aaron Donald is trending toward returning to the Rams to play alongside Myles Garrett this season (30:59). Is Los Angeles ruining sports? Michael Penix Jr. could be out for another month (39:22). What would a Tua-led Falcons team look like for fantasy? Then, at long last, the guys are joined by ESPN's Mina Kimes to reveal the top four in the Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:01:30). After they reveal the winner of the rankings and thank Lorne, Heifetz reveals a new theme month after the triumph of Millennial Bangers. Reminders: 1.

Some defensive tackle news to hit before the adventure begins: Jalen Carter got PAID (02:14), and Vita Vea wants out of Tampa Bay (09:53). Oh, and DK has takes on Madison Beer's stance in her engagement announcement Instagram carousel with Justin Herbert (14:51). Then, the lads venture out on their ship yearning for sweet, beautiful sirens they can't resist in fantasy football this season (22:22) and the ones they're avoiding with wax in their ears all training camp (38:00). They also each pick their “Go Home to Your Wife” guy in honor of Odysseus (01:05:20). When they eventually get off the boat, the boys first run through an emailer's breakfast ham (01:17:59). Then, they get in the middle of a Heifetz-Jackie argument about pens (01:21:29) before the second-ever meeting for Ringer Movie Club, where Craig and Heifetz can bully DK over 'Kingpin' (01:27:44). Finally, they close the ‘sode with takes on ‘The Odyssey' (01:48:16). Heifetz has strong, contrarian opinions, as one would expect.

The Tier 1 (09:31) wide receivers are obvious if you can trust Steve-O, and the first-rounders in Tier 2 (14:29) should be high-floor producers. Where it gets wild is in Tier 3 (18:26), with the sexy, unreliable alphas. Buyer beware. Then Tier 4 (28:25) is a slop of 16 (maybe 18) guys. Craig thinks Luther Burden III is him. Heifetz wants nothing to do with Burden or Zay Flowers or Chris Olave. Tiers 5 and 6 (59:48) become guys just naming guys (complimentary). Ricky Pearsall. Jayden Reed. Parker Washington. Matthew Golden. Xavier Worthy. Denzel Boston. Khalil Shakir. AD Mitchell. Travis Hunter. Then, finally, we get to nos. 9-12 in The Seven's Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:01:22). Another boyish cutie. A shocking salt-and-pepper DILF at no. 11. First-team All-Aura breaks the top 10, plus the fourth and final former no. 1 pick in the pack. Mmm, mmm, mmmm.

Implementing a gender mainstreaming strategy requires more than just policy; it demands consistent, deliberate action that drives real-world impact. In this leadership podcast for change-makers, we sit down with Colleen Larsen, founder of Business Engage, to explore how she transitioned from financial services to spearheading corporate transformation across Africa. Colleen shares her "velvet glove" approach to organizational change, bridging the gap between boardroom objectives and grassroots empowerment. We discuss how her philosophy drives progress toward UN SDG 5 gender equality goals, while drawing parallels to Heifetz and Linsky's adaptive leadership (Harvard Kennedy School) framework in navigating complex corporate landscapes. This episode offers a masterclass in resilience, strategic thinking, and the power of "letting go" to make space for growth.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review & share! https://anne-pratt.com

Josh Allen (04:18) is in a tier by himself as the top fantasy football quarterback going into the 2026 NFL season, but where do the best of the rest fit in? Are Drake Maye and Lamar Jackson (16:30) the only two QBs after Allen that belong in Tier 2? Who is the best signal-caller in Tier 3 (33:47), and which quarterbacks outside the top 10 are worth a lifer (56:51)?

Summer of 1942 Jack Benny and Jascha Heifetz appear on Command Performance along with Ethel Waters, Richard Haydn and Edward Arnold.

Let me start by saying that technique was a struggle for me. You may have heard me talk before about how my double-jointed fingers wouldn't do what my teacher wanted, let alone what I wanted. I had been playing the harp for nearly ten years before I was able to develop proper mechanics, to make my fingers play with the form and strength necessary for the level of playing I aspired to. Granted, I was still a teenager at the time, so my fingers have endured decades of technical work beyond that, but I want to tell you that harp technique is still something I work on daily, not because I want to, but because I have to. It's true that our technique gets stronger and more reliable over time. That's the good news. The more we focus on developing the proper mechanics, along with flexibility and speed, the more dependable our technique becomes. However, the results of our technical work can leave us in a moment.  There is a well-known quote attributed to the celebrated violinist Jascha Heifetz about this very thing. He said, "If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it."  Granted that most of us aren't playing regularly in the same concert halls that Heifetz was, but we notice the same disheartening phenomenon: our technique requires constant attention.   I'm going to make a big assumption here, that you don't have hours every day to spend on your harp technique. Frankly, I don't either. I have to put time into my technique daily, but it's never as much time as I'd like, or as much time as my technique needs. But having spent years working through my own technique challenges and guiding students through the ones they face, I have three specific aspects of technique that many of us don't spend enough time on.  These are three very specific and actually very basic technical skills. If you pay attention to these three things, you will be on your way to solving many common technique glitches that prevent your music from flowing the way you want. These aren't cure-all remedies. They are three basic skills that truly matter to your playing. Most exercise books include them, but they don't tell you why they matter. That's what I want to tell you today.  Here's the thing: if I simply told you what the skills were, you'd probably dismiss them, thinking you already know how to do them, or at least two of the three. The difference comes once you know why they are so important, what they really mean for your playing. Even better, when they show up in a piece you are learning, you'll spot them and know exactly how to make that tricky passage smooth. Are you intrigued a little, maybe a lot? I hope so.

It's safe to say Heifetz's Giants had a bad week. Jaxson Dart (AKA J6) is hanging out with Donald Trump, Joe Schoen's cuck chair isn't going anywhere, and there's no good injury news for Malik Nabers. But the guys couldn't spend the entire show laughing at the Giants. They also go over the most breakable NFL records and some listener emails on YouTube voice, more nut kicks, Charley Pride, and the 1897 Cleveland Spiders.

The Ringer Fantasy Football Show is back with our favorite rookie landing spots and 2026 dynasty superflex rankings. Why did [redacted] trade new Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love for scraps? Should Ty Simpson go third overall after Love and Fernando Mendoza? What's the right price for Jadarian Price? Craig and Heifetz have no idea what to do with their first-round dynasty picks. DK is getting JJ McCarthy chills with Simpson, and he wants no part of the Jonah Coleman-Sean Payton experience. None of it. Also, no one knows how to pronounce Jeremy even though it's our job to hunt down silent e's, and we have an important update on the Seahawks fan's nuts.
