Welcome to episode 224 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, the US Treasury has sanctioned a Hizballah-linked gold and shipping network operating across the Middle East and Russia, alongside a $1.72 million OFAC fine against IMG Academy for tuition-related violations of Mexican counternarcotics sanctions. In the UK, the FCA's first-ever enforcement action against a global crypto exchange, HTX, for illegal UK promotions, while Transparency International warns that the UK's new Representation of the People Bill still allows "mega-donors" to exert outsized political influence. We also look at the UK SFO's conclusion that legacy e-discovery technical issues have not compromised past convictions, and the UK leads a 2,500-person multinational cyber-defence exercise in Singapore. Finally, we look at the alarming weaponisation of AI in cyber-espionage, highlighting a sophisticated campaign by state-sponsored hackers which marks an historic shift toward machine-speed autonomous attacks.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.

By Liam Shannon: "The 2026 Panini Hoophall Classic featured a pair of twins known as “The Twin Towers.” Twin brothers Darius and Adonis Ratliff led Archbishop Stepinac in a win against IMG Academy on Saturday in Blake Arena. Darius led by example, scoring a team-high 17 points and adding nine rebounds and six blocks. Adonis' leadership came from the sidelines, as he has been nursing an injury since mid-December."
He'll be calling the plays for the Pop-Tarts Bowl in Buster Faulkner's absence and it's just another chapter in the incredible journey of this former Heisman Trophy winner. This is a must listen!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why is it so easy to bet on your favorite team, stocks, or fantasy league—yet so hard to bet on yourself? In this powerful solo episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I share why most people avoid going all in on themselves and the fears, excuses, and illusions of control that keep them stuck. I open up about my own story of leaving a secure path at IMG Academy, walking away from 90% of my income at Renaissance Periodization, and investing $50,000 into a coach when I had nothing certain lined up—all because I was committed to betting on myself. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people avoid betting on themselves and play small How illusions of control keep you stuck in fear and excuses The hidden cost of betting only on things outside your control Why responsibility, rejection, and uncertainty scare us—and how to face them How betting on yourself creates confidence, peace, and exponential growth The role of short-term sacrifice in creating long-term fulfillment Why modeling self-belief inspires and lifts everyone around you This episode is a wake-up call: stop dimming your light, stop waiting for the perfect moment, and take the risk. Because the greatest bet you'll ever place—the one with the highest return—is the bet you place on yourself. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Key Takeaways: People prefer to bet on what they can't control because it gives them an excuse when things don't work out. Betting on yourself means full ownership—no one else to blame. Fear of judgment, rejection, and failure keeps most people from going all in. Responsibility is scary, but it's also the path to peace and fulfillment. My leap from RP coaching and a $50,000 investment was proof of betting on myself—and it paid off. Confidence and belief are built in action, not in waiting for certainty. Betting on yourself elevates everyone around you through your example. Key Quotes: “You can't become better unless you bet on yourself.” “When you bet on things beyond your control, you reinforce self-doubt.” “Fear and confidence can coexist—you can be scared and certain at the same time.” “The biggest risk isn't failing. It's never knowing what could have happened if you bet on yourself.” “Money comes and goes. Focus and attention are the true currencies of high performance.” “Stop dimming your light—you're teaching your kids it's okay to play small.” “Every bet you place on yourself creates a ripple effect of belief, confidence, and growth.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Why We Bet on the Wrong Things 02:00: My Early Career at IMG Academy 04:30: Cold Calls & Finding RP 06:30: Building a Coaching Business 08:40: Walking Away from 90% of My Income 10:55: The $50,000 Bet That Changed Everything 12:30: Why We Avoid Betting on Ourselves 14:40: Two Paths: Conflict vs. Fulfillment 16:15: Rewiring Belief & Confidence 18:10: Fear and Confidence Can Coexist 20:15: The Hard Truth About Sacrifice 22:05: The Ripple Effect of Self-Belief 23:45: Final Challenge: Bet on Yourself
The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
Episode 256: What turns CX skeptics into advocates? A listening engine that makes caring for those you serve the gold standard. At IMG Academy, a private sports academy and boarding school in Florida, Chief Operating Officer Mike Milliron led the launch of a centralized experience team. “Not interested,” said everyone from athletics, academics, athletic development, and student life. Why? IMG Academy's culture initially prized local control. “Owners of experience,” says Mike, is how teams saw themselves. Mike and his team persisted. They built a real-time listening program with trusted access and immediate visibility so coaches, teachers, and staff could act on feedback. The centralized team partnered across athletics, academics, athletic and personal development, and student life to align fixes and remove friction for frontline work. Results followed: NPS rose for parents and students. Re-enrollment increased. Earned growth forecasts climbed. “It made their jobs easier,” explains Mike. “But also, it helped them get to the end result they want: delivering an unrivaled experience for students.” Guest: Mike Milliron, Chief Operating Officer, IMG Academy Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give Us Feedback: Help us improve the podcast here: https://bit.ly/CCPodcastFeedback Time-Stamped Topics: 00:01 — Who owns experience on a campus built on silos 00:04 — Non-negotiables like culture change and real listening access 00:05 — Mission UCX prioritizes caring for those they serve 00:06 — Early financial signals drove re-enrollment to tick up 00:07 — Standing up CX and a listening program spanning multiple verticals 00:08 — Value lands when CX makes people's jobs easier 00:09 — New games unlocked by data and insight loops 00:11 — Rapid-fire takes on popular CX buzzwords Time-Stamped Quotes: [09:00] “The most difficult part was trying to figure out how it was actually going to work. Once we got it up and got it moving and realized the value right away, it became one of the smartest decisions, and it made people's jobs easier.” [9:00] “We introduced a listening program. We introduced a dedicated team to work across verticals. [It was about] just the cultural component of A) getting that team in place, and then B) trying to figure out how do we actually best navigate what's been in place for the previous 35 years—and some muscles that have been built—in a trustworthy way and in a way that people wanted to engage.” [06:00] “We're starting to see customer experience and NPS go up across parents, students, and essentially all of our experiences in our product lines. We're also seeing employee experience go up, which is super important—that's helped with retention and workplace satisfaction.” [10:00] “We have different opportunities to actually understand how to drive value and impact. And we're just like, ‘Oh my gosh, we never would've thought that we're able to do this.' And how it then ties back to a retention strategy or to a new product or new experience that we want to launch. So, it'sfun to actually see those things come to life.” Resources “A New Playbook” (Episode 230 with former IMG Academy president, Tim Pernetti)

Hour 1 of The Plank Show with Chris Plank and Blake Gamble kicks-off with a recap of a day that started off seeming like a disaster for SoonerNation, but turned out to be pretty great. Blue-Chip defensive end Jake Kreul from IMG Academy chose OU over Texas and Ole Miss on the Pat McAffee Show, and John Mateer's Venmo debacle seems to be inconsequential.
On today's show, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat about everything happening around the NFL as training camps are still in full swing, college football is right around the corner, and everything else happening around the sports world. Joining the show to make his college commitment is 5-star DE from IMG Academy, Jake Kreul. Next, ESPN NFL Insider/analyst/host, Peter Schrager joins the show live from Jets training camp after a practice with the Giants to talk about what he's seen from both New York teams, and other thoughts from around the league.

Cory welcomes back Coach Alex Popp, one of prep basketball's most respected voices, now the new head coach at The Winchendon School in Massachusetts. With a background that includes leading Vermont Academy, five years at powerhouse IMG Academy, and a post-grad playing year at Northfield Mount Hermon, Coach Popp brings unmatched perspective on what it takes for players to thrive in the NEPSAC and beyond. In this candid conversation, Alex breaks down the real factors families must weigh: Should your child chase playing time on a less talented team, or compete for minutes on a stacked roster? How do you find the right academic and athletic fit? And what does true college placement strategy look like in today's transfer portal and NIL era? Coach Popp shares actionable advice on maximizing summer exposure events, the importance of honest self-assessment, and why relationships—not hype—drive recruitment.

Turning Customer and Employee Feedback into a Strategy for Success Shep interviews Mike Milliron, Chief Operating Officer of IMG Academy. He talks about the academy's customer experience focus, innovative programs for empowering student-athletes, and its accreditation by Bain and Company for customer experience excellence. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How does the Net Promoter Score (NPS) help organizations measure the effectiveness of their customer experience programs? What role does employee engagement play in enhancing the customer experience? How can schools empower students to achieve their future goals, both academically and in sports? How can schools create a system that effectively responds to feedback from students and parents? What is reputation marketing? Top Takeaways: Happy and engaged employees naturally create better experiences for customers. When staff members feel heard, empowered, and proud of their work, they go above and beyond to help others. While good marketing helps, it is not enough to build a good reputation. The real magic happens when people keep coming back and telling their friends because they had an amazing experience. IMG Academy uses Net Promoter Score (NPS) to measure satisfaction and drive real improvements based on student and parent feedback. They've built a listening program that keeps their NPS steadily rising. Their winning customer experience and employee experience show that NPS is most valuable when it leads to actionable insights and loyalty rather than just being a score. Creating an excellent customer experience takes everyone working together, from those working on the frontlines to the back office and the C-suite. When all team members are clear on the mission and know how they can make a difference, it creates a culture where it is “cool to care” about your customers. When leaders are engaged and actively participate in initiatives, they can better understand the challenges faced by their teams and customers. Collecting feedback and turning it into actionable steps helps create a culture that values continuous improvement. Customers and employees like knowing their opinions are heard and valued. IMG Academy puts students at the center of everything they do.

Send us a textEver wonder why your son isn't in the starting lineup? The truth might surprise you. Baseball isn't just about who can hit the ball farthest or throw the fastest pitch. High school coaches make tough decisions every single day about who plays and who sits – decisions that go far beyond raw talent. From academic performance and classroom behavior to practice effort and being a supportive teammate, the factors that determine playing time are complex and often invisible to parents watching from the stands.I'll never forget the parent who approached me during a team cookout at IMG Academy in Florida to boldly declare that I was "what's keeping us from winning a state championship." That uncomfortable moment sparked an important reflection on the relationship between coaches, players, and parents. While that particular season ended in a heartbreaking 1-0 loss in the 10th inning of the district finals, the lessons remain relevant for baseball families everywhere.Here's the uncomfortable truth many parents don't want to hear: sometimes the best way to support your child isn't by fighting their battles, but by stepping back. When parents rush to protect their sons from difficulty – whether it's limited playing time, batting lower in the lineup, or facing criticism – they rob them of the opportunity to develop resilience. In baseball, a game where even elite hitters fail seven out of ten times, learning from setbacks isn't just helpful; it's essential.Whether you're a coach navigating lineup decisions or a parent supporting a player through ups and downs, remember that success in baseball and in life is earned through facing challenges head-on. The players who become leaders are those who learn to handle adversity without breaking. Trust the process, back the coaching staff, and let failure be the powerful teacher it's meant to be.Ready to transform how you think about baseball development?

Recorded: March 31, 2025 On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with Luke Kuechly—NFL legend, Carolina Panthers icon, and one of the greatest linebackers to ever play the game. Known for his elite football IQ and instinctual play, Luke opens up about his early retirement from the NFL due to multiple concussions, giving raw and honest insight into the toll the game can take. As well as his time playing with superstars Cam Newton, and Christian McCaffrey. Before the interview with Luke, Will and Taylor react to the news from the NFL owners meetings that they will vote on a potential ban of the Tush Push, popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles en route to their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last season. The conversation starts with Luke’s early love for football and the moment he knew the sport was his calling. He shares why he chose Boston College, what made it feel like the right fit, and what it was like training at IMG Academy alongside top-tier talent leading up to the NFL Draft. Luke gives a behind-the-scenes look at his NFL Combine experience and the emotions surrounding his draft day with the Carolina Panthers. From rookie-year adjustments and getting "Mossed" by Julio Jones to a hilarious story about not owning a TV, Luke keeps it real with the boys. He reflects on the veteran linebackers who mentored him and how they shaped his mental and physical approach to the game. Luke and Will also break down some of his most iconic plays in the NFL, offering a deep dive into how he could seemingly read quarterbacks' minds and always be one step ahead. Big hugs and some tiny lil kisses!
