“I'm drawing a lot more confidence for the track from what I did on the grass just this last weekend. I'm really excited just to get there, get going, and keep building strength. The sky's the limit because if I can do that on the cross course, who knows what I can do on the track. I'm super pumped for it!”My guest for today's episode is Parker Wolfe. If you're paying attention to the next generation of American distance running, his name has been on that list for a while now. Just last weekend, Parker made his World Championships debut representing Team USA at the World Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee, Florida. In a loaded men's 10K field, he ran with patience and composure and steadily worked his way forward and finished as the top American across the finish line in 12th place.Just a few months back, Parker left the NCAA as an 11-time All-American at North Carolina, anchoring the program during the early years of coach Chris Miltenberg's tenure and leading the Tar Heels to multiple top 10 national finishes in cross country. Individually, his highlight was probably winning the 2024 NCAA Outdoor 5K title where he upset Nico Young in one of the biggest races of his career.The resume for Parker speaks for itself. He's run 3:34 for the 1500m, 3:54 for the mile, 7:30 for 3K, and 13:10 for the 5K. In this conversation, we talk about his transition from college to the world stage, what he's learned from racing these international studs, and what comes next as he steps into the next phase of his career as a pro with Swoosh TC under coach Mike Smith. Also, he's in a loaded men's two-mile at the Millrose Games on February 1st in New York City.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Parker Wolfe | @parkerw19 on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a better-for-you soda that puts 6-9g of fiber in every single can.

This is Part 2 of my annual indoor playground and play café industry trends episode — a series I've released every single year since 2019.Part 1 focused on business design and planning.Part 2 is about operations, systems, and the decisions owners are making behind the scenes that will quietly determine who is still standing in 3–5 years.These aren't “ideas to try.” These are structural shifts happening right now inside profitable, sustainable play businesses. And if you miss them They're expensive to fix later.In this episode, I break down the operational and ownership trends shaping 2026, including:Why owners are stepping back earlier — and how systems (not hustle) are making it possibleThe rise of businesses designed to function without the owner presentWhy you cannot out-market a broken layout, bad flow, or poorly designed spaceHow intentional design decisions reduce staffing costs, customer friction, and burnoutWhy some owners are quietly cutting hours — and increasing profitThe shift toward making money during downtime, not just peak hoursHow smarter owners are evaluating revenue streams based on profitability and energy, not egoWhy “just add more offerings” is becoming a dangerous strategyThe growing gap between owners who track numbers weekly and those who “feel busy”How over-reliance on AI without real-world context is already costing new owners time and moneyRESOURCES MENTIONED:BLOG For This EpisodeLittle Play AvenueEpisode 105: Call Forwarding Systems To Better Customer ServiceEpisode 84: Making Money As A UGC CreatorEpisode 349: Business Sponsorships with Jayci from Tiny PlayEpisode 341: Lead Your Team Better in 2026Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyOTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com TOOLS & OTHER LINKS:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingActive Campaign Free TrialFree Demo of Aluvii All-In-One POS

Southwestern Oregon just made HISTORY — winning the first NWAC Women's Cross Country Championship in school history… and they did it with five freshmen scorers. In Airey Bros Radio Ep. 426, we go live with the architect behind the Lakers' rise: Coach Steve Delgado (SWOCC). We talk NWAC vs NJCAA, why JUCO is one of the best pathways in college running right now, and how a program goes from non-scoring to championship culture in a hurry. We also dive into the legend and lore of Coos Bay, Oregon — home of Steve Prefontaine — plus the behind-the-scenes coaching habits that actually build alignment: recruiting truth, standards, team connection, and Coach Delgado's best advice of the night: “Lean into conflict.” (Culture doesn't happen by accident.) ✅ Topics Covered:SWOCC's jump from last place energy to NWAC ChampionsWhat a true “champion experience” means at the JUCO levelTaylor Dickey & Lydia Montes De Oca going 1–2 and gapping the fieldMen's program podium finish — best since 1970Recruiting, affordability, housing, and why the JUCO path is boomingTraining philosophy, thresholds, and building the “better humans” mentality☕ Fueled by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching blacksheependurance.com/

Every year (since 2019!), I release a trends episode for the indoor playground and play café industry — and this year, there was simply too much to cover responsibly in a single episode.BLOG For this episode: https://www.michelecaruana.com/blog/2026-play-cafe-trendsAs I reviewed what I shared in my 2025 trends video (linked below) alongside what I've been seeing all year in Play Maker Society, my live events, and 1:1 coaching, the trends naturally fell into two buckets:1) planning and design decisions that are expensive to undo2) operational choices that determine whether a business actually runs sustainablyThat's why the 2026 trends are split into two parts.Part 1 focuses on planning: space design, revenue structure, and early decisions that quietly lock owners into years of unnecessary stress if they get them wrong.Many of the 2025 trends from last year's episode are still very relevant — including indoor/outdoor spaces, experience-led design, and bold, playful use of color — but the cost of missing these shifts is higher than ever.This year's list is less about what's "new" and more about what's becoming non-negotiable to have a competition and receccsion-proofed business (that YES: actually pays you).What's IN for 2026 (Planning & Design):Treating cafés as a core profit driver, not a side featureDesigning spaces that increase length of stay and per-visit spendInclusion and universal design as the standard, not a bonusIntentional layouts that reduce friction for families and staffRevenue models that prioritize retained profit, not just top-line salesDesigning businesses that work with family behavior, not against itWhat's OUT for 2026 (Planning & Design):Over-relying on AI to plan your business without real-world validationRelying on hustle to fix structural problemsDepending heavily on third-party vendors for food and party add-onsSkipping cafés without a clear replacement revenue strategyTreating inclusion as a marketing angle instead of a design foundationAssuming volume will make up for thin marginsBuilding spaces that look good online but don't function well in real lifeThis episode sets the foundation for Part 2, where we'll shift from planning to execution — covering operational trends, optimization, and how owners are building businesses that run without burning them out.RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com TOOLS & OTHER LINKS:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingActive Campaign Free TrialFree Demo of Aluvii All-In-One POS
Forget the old rule that outdoor pools must live at 7.4 pH. We dig into why cyanuric acid, not pH, is the dominant force behind chlorine strength in the sun, and how reframing your strategy around the FC-to-CYA ratio can reduce algae, cut costs, and protect your surfaces. With insights from industry committee work and modeling, we explain why a 20:1 CYA-to-free chlorine ceiling matters, why 30–50 ppm CYA often hits the sweet spot, and how to choose targets that keep chlorine working without drifting into overstabilized territory.We also tackle a costly habit: aggressive acid dosing. Most techs are using far more acid than needed to move from 8.0 to 7.5, and that overcorrection hammers the Langelier Saturation Index, etches plaster, and invites oxidation. We walk through accurate acid calculations, the importance of pre-dilution, and circulation techniques that avoid “acid plunges” to the floor. Along the way, we separate the roles of pH and alkalinity, show how alkalinity drives acid demand, and spotlight calcium hardness as the quiet anchor that stabilizes LSI so your system doesn't whiplash week to week.Finally, we compare outdoor and indoor realities. Without CYA, indoor pools follow the classic rule where pH directly sets chlorine strength. Outdoors, stabilizer changes the game—so stop chasing numbers that don't deliver. The payoff is fewer algae battles, stronger sanitation, and longer-lasting surfaces through a measured, data-first approach. If this perspective helps, subscribe, share the show with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more pros can rethink their chemistry playbook.• Why eye pH claims mislead• How CYA binds chlorine and alters strength• The 20:1 CYA-to-free chlorine ceiling• Targeting 30–50 ppm CYA for balance• Acid overuse, LSI crashes, and surface damage• Pre-diluting acid and correct dosing amounts• Alkalinity as buffer and its components• Calcium hardness as the quiet LSI anchor• Indoor pools without CYA follow classic pH rules• Why pH “bounce” often comes from bad aciSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

We cover:UNC's rise into a national XC powerhouse + what “program standards” actually meanDeveloping NCAA champs and elite competitors (and what separates the great ones)Recruiting at UNC: high school, transfers, internationals — and the “fit” factorThe “intention gap” in modern NCAA distance runningHow UNC athletes manage academics + high-performance training without burning outTraining talk: double threshold (in moderation), strength combos, speed touch work2025 XC recap + indoor season outlook + meets to watchIf you're a recruit, parent, coach, or distance nerd who loves hearing how great programs are built the right way — this one's for you.Follow Coach Moini: IG: @coachianmoini | Team: @unctrack_fieldSupport the show: BuyMeACoffee.com/AireyBrosPowered by: Black Sheep Endurance Coaching: blacksheependurance.comShow Notes Ep. 425 — Coach Ian Moini (UNC) | Tar Heels XC/Track Culture + Recruiting + Training 00:00 – Why ABR exists: conversations we wish we had during recruiting00:51 – ABR intro + value-for-value + Black Sheep Endurance shoutout02:06 – Guest intro: Coach Ian Moini + UNC program accolades04:01 – Where to find Coach Moini (IG + email)04:35 – Pork roll or Taylor ham? + Is Central Jersey real?05:40 – Origin story: hockey → running → coaching06:45 – Three different college coaches in three years: impact on an athlete09:08 – Stability vs. culture: how the team kept momentum10:39 – Why UNC: education + athletic department investment11:54 – Princeton Day School → Pennington School shift + Coach Ritter influence13:02 – Hockey fandom + Carolina hockey culture14:09 – When Coach Chris Miltenberg arrived: new standards + expectations15:37 – Major at UNC + coaching education minor (and what was most valuable)16:32 – Early coaching pathway: volunteering/EMU internship → back to UNC staff17:22 – “Pinch me” moments: recruiting athletes + watching them grow18:24 – Parker Wolf & Ethan Strand arriving: what separated them early20:36 – Reverse engineering greatness: elite lifestyle vs. elite desire to win21:20 – The “intention gap” in NCAA distance (US kids vs. pro mindset)22:52 – Balancing pro-level running with UNC academics25:05 – Support systems: academic advising + sustainable success at UNC26:42 – Recruiting process: runway, relationships, and fit28:08 – How UNC differentiates when everyone wants the same recruits28:57 – Handling slumps: high support + high standards (no self-deception)30:44 – Day-to-day role: recruiting QB + increasing coaching responsibilities32:07 – Ops reality: yes, the Concur expense reports
As I wrap up 2025, I wanted to record an episode that goes deeper than trends (but YES, my annual trends prediction is coming up next!)— because what I'm seeing across the industry right now isn't necessarily a lack of ideas.It's a lack of foundations.BLOG for this episodeAfter a full year of interviewing indoor playground and play café owners, working through countless 1:1 sessions, and supporting owners inside Play Maker Society, the same patterns keep showing up — regardless of location, size, or years in business.Owners are busy, but still stressed.They're marketing constantly, but not converting.They're deeply involved, but exhausted.This episode brings together the seven pieces of advice I'm giving to (and getting from!) current owners right now — not based on theory or predictions, but on what I'm actively seeing work (and not work) in real businesses.These are the areas where small leaks are creating big problems — and where tightening the fundamentals can immediately change how a business feels to run in terms of quality of life for YOU, the owner.In this episode, I break down:Why what you post matters more than how often you postHow most websites and patched-together booking systems quietly lose you moneyWhy open play can't be the thing holding your business upHow recurring and high-ticket revenue change how the business feels to runWhy email is still one of the most effective tools owners aren't fully usingHow cafés, retail, and small add-ons raise spend per visit without more trafficWhat actually has to be in place for you to step out without everything breakingI also share real examples from owners I've interviewed, coached, and worked alongside — including how some have intentionally reduced owner dependency, diversified revenue, and designed businesses that work even when they're not physically present.This episode isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about tightening what's already there and focusing on the few things that actually make a difference right now.If you're heading into 2026 feeling busy but still stretched thin, this will help you get clear on where your attention really needs to go next.RESOURCES/ BUSINESSES MENTIONED:BLOG for this episodeLittle Leaf Play IGLittle Play Avenue IG(BLOG) Maximizing Cafe Profits (And Why You NEED A Cafe)Evergeen Facebook + IG Ad BasicsGoogle Ad BasicsInterview with Jayci From Tiny PlayInterview with Justine from Liv and MimisInterview with Jessalyn from The Playroom WVThe Art Factory and Party PlaceGrandma's PlayroomOTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com TOOLS & OTHER LINKS:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingActive Campaign Free TrialFree Demo of Aluvii All-In-One POS

What does it really take to coach elite triathletes to world-class performances? Reto Braendli, Swiss triathlon coach and former performance lab specialist, joins us to share the individualized approach behind some of pro triathlon's most remarkable recent results.Reto coaches Sara Svensk (8th Kona 2024 with sub-3hr marathon), Anne Reischmann (back-to-back Ironman wins at Cozumel & South Africa), and Imogen Simmonds (9th overall T100 2024). In this Expert Series episode, he reveals how Sara ran one of the fastest marathons at Kona with only 4 hours of running per week (50% on a treadmill) due to injury.We dive deep into body composition analysis, Reto's balanced fueling philosophy that rejects both extreme high-carb and low-carb trends, and the truth about how pro athletes' nutrition needs differ from weekend warriors. Plus, insights on indoor versus outdoor cycling, optimal cadence, Anne's decision to race Kona while pregnant, and why loving what you do matters more than any training protocol.Whether you're a coach or athlete, this conversation offers practical wisdom for smarter, more sustainable training.00:00 Welcome and Introduction00:27 Reto's Background and Career01:33 Coaching Philosophy and Approach02:16 Case Studies: Coaching Elite Athletes05:25 Training Strategies and Adaptations11:39 Balancing Training and Life for Age Groupers17:36 Body Composition in Endurance Sports25:20 Nutrition and Fueling Strategies35:06 Approximate Energy Demand in Athletes36:23 Fueling Strategies for Endurance Athletes37:46 Integrating Cycling into Triathlon Training39:54 Indoor vs. Outdoor Cycling: Pros and Cons43:37 Cadence and Bike Position: Optimizing Performance49:02 Coaching Anne Reischmann Racing Kona Pregnant: A Unique Challenge55:45 Handling Doping Allegations: A Coach's Perspective01:02:04 Final Advice for Athletes and Coaches
Galway City Harriers' Emma Moore made history on Wednesday (17th December 2025) when she broke the Irish indoor under-23 800m record in the National Sports Arena in Dublin, clocking a time of 2'2.39". It also moved her to sixth on the all-time Irish senior indoor list, in a year where she also produced personal bests at 400m (55.41"), 600m (1'29.31") and with the 4*400m relay team at the European championships in Bergen (3'34.81"). After being hampered by injuries in recent years, she's back on track and competing in major championships with Los Angeles 2028 still the target. Emma Moore chatted to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Over The Line.'
Our guest for today's episode is one of the most exciting sprinters in the world right now. Julien Alfred is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100m, a World Indoor champion in the 60m, and the athlete who is rewriting history for St. Lucia on the biggest stages in track.On February 1st, 2026, Julien will return to The Armory in New York City to headline the women's 60m at the Millrose Games — the same track where she ran a meet record back in 2024 before going on to win world and Olympic gold.Our conversation with her isn't just about medals or times; it's about what comes after the breakthrough year and how you learn to carry success without letting it crush you.Julien opens up about navigating pressure, expectations, and loneliness at the top and about growing up fast in St. Lucia, leaving home to chase a dream in Jamaica, Texas, and beyond, and learning how to protect her mental health while still pushing her limits.We talk about trust — in her coach Edrick Floreal, in the process, and in herself — and why 2026 feels less about proving something to the world and more about rediscovering joy in the sport she loves.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Julien Alfred | @julien.alfred on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

In this episode, the Hort Culture crew dives into the joys and challenges of growing herbs indoors during the cold season. After swapping stories about Kentucky snow days, childhood folklore, and the chaos of cabin-fevered kids, the hosts transition smoothly into practical horticulture: how to bring fresh flavors and greenery into the home when outdoor gardens are asleep.The conversation covers the best herbs for indoor growing—from Mediterranean sun-lovers like basil, rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage, to reliable cool-season performers like parsley and cilantro, and the ever-vigorous mint and lemon balm. The hosts emphasize realistic expectations: herbs grow slower indoors, flavors can be milder, and supplemental lighting is often essential. They explain how to choose the right pot sizes, avoid moisture‐retaining soils, fertilize lightly, and select the brightest window available (while watching out for drafts).Listeners get guidance on starting seeds indoors, preventing leggy seedlings with close grow lights, and even strengthening plants through airflow or the classic “pet your seedlings” method. Microgreens also make an appearance as a fast, rewarding winter crop.The episode wraps with encouragement: don't be too hard on yourself, try different methods, and remember you can always snag a starter plant or a cutting from a friend. Indoor herbs bring freshness, flavor, and a bit of mental sunshine to the darkest winter days.Growing herbs indoors adds flavor, saves moneyGrowing Herbs IndoorsIndoor HerbsCulinary HerbsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!
We went live on the pod to draft teams for our upcoming event at Hudson Valley Indoor Golf, and it got competitive fast. We straight copy-catted the full Internet Invitational format, bringing that same high-stakes, made-for-content energy to the Upstate golf scene. The format is simple but ruthless: round one is 27 holes where only the winning team advances, eventually narrowing the field down to a final six, with $1,200 on the line for the last two standing. Tune in as Captain John Cole (Team Blue) and Captain Kevin Dumacich (Team Red) break down who they picked, the matchups, and the strategy behind every move.

Over 99% of homes contain at least one allergen, with 75% harboring three to six, yet winter allergies often masquerade as stubborn “colds” or recurrent respiratory infections. This episode confronts the core diagnostic challenge of differentiating allergy-driven symptoms from viral, bacterial, or non-allergic triggers in colder months. We delve into indoor allergen epidemiology, risk stratification for polysensitized patients, syndrome overlap in differential diagnosis, and utility of location-specific respiratory allergen profiles for diagnostic testing and interpretation. Additional topics include guideline-informed approaches to environmental exposure reduction, patient-centered therapeutic strategies, monitoring of symptom thresholds, actionable counseling for managing dust mites, pet dander, molds, mouse and cockroach allergens, and streamlining through tailored lab ordering guides and reflex pet component testing. Clinicians will gain practical insight into identifying sensitizations, guiding targeted exposure minimization, and elevating respiratory care quality for patients with persistent winter symptoms.
