In this episode of Poised for Exit, Kristin Nordling, Founder and CEO of Lakeside HR Group, joins the show to discuss why HR should be viewed as a strategic business function—not simply a source of compliance support. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in HR, recruiting, private equity, and acquisitions, Kristin shares how overlooking the people side of a business can create costly problems during a sale.The conversation explores what effective HR due diligence should uncover, including company culture, leadership gaps, key employee dependencies, and the ability of a team to successfully navigate change. Kristin explains why financial performance alone does not tell the full story and how culture and employee retention can ultimately determine whether an acquisition succeeds.Kristin also shares how strategic HR can help owners reduce their company's dependence on them, strengthen the leadership structure, and prepare key employees for a future transition. From identifying the need for a COO or integrator to using retention strategies such as stay bonuses and phantom stock, thoughtful people planning can protect both enterprise value and the owner's legacy.Whether an owner is preparing to sell soon or still several years away, the episode highlights why these issues cannot be addressed at the last minute. Building a transferable company takes time, and the right HR strategy can help create a stronger business today while positioning it for a more successful exit tomorrow. Connect with Kristin Nordling hereLearn more about Lakeside HR Group hereConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

What do you do when someone confidently says something that's completely wrong?Do you correct them... or just smile and walk away?That's where this episode of The Treehouse Show begins after Dan hears someone butcher a simple Supergirl fact and has to decide whether it's worth starting an argument.That leads us into one of the funniest education stories we've heard in a while: a Brown University professor discovered just how dependent students have become on AI and online resources by springing an old-fashioned, in-person final exam on them—with hilarious results.As always, celebrity birthdays send us down another unexpected rabbit hole. Dan explains why Corey Haim was always better than Corey Feldman, while Trey hands out some very unpopular opinions on Will Ferrell movies... including why he thinks Elf is wildly overrated.Then we wrap things up with two stories that prove reality is always stranger than fiction: a woman who allegedly went on a biting spree inside a bar, and a flight instructor who bailed out of an airplane—leaving everyone wondering whether it was an accident or the world's worst teaching method.If you enjoy funny news, bizarre true stories, pop culture debates, celebrity birthdays, and comedians going completely off the rails, you'll feel right at home with The Treehouse Show.In this episode:Should you correct people who are confidently wrong?Dan's Supergirl debateBrown University catches students cheatingAI vs. traditional examsCorey Haim vs. Corey FeldmanTrey ranks Will Ferrell movies (and trashes Elf)Woman arrested after bizarre biting spreeThe worst flight instructor ever?And plenty of hilarious detours along the way.

Guest Host: Terry Slatic & Nick Richardson A man was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Biddeford, Maine, on July 13, and lawmakers later said he may not have been the person agents were originally seeking, raising questions about the operation and prompting calls for a full investigation. California has approved a major restructuring of its education leadership system that will significantly reduce the authority of the elected Superintendent of Public Instruction and transfer many of those responsibilities to a new Education Commissioner appointed by the governor. Reuters reports that New York has become the first state in the nation to impose a moratorium on large AI-related data centers, pausing new projects that consume 50 megawatts or more of electricity. State leaders say the temporary halt will allow regulators to assess the effects of data centers on energy costs, water resources, and local communities before permitting additional construction. The flight began as a standard training session from Coronel Olmedo airfield, with Bertazzo having already completed another lesson earlier that day without incident. Mid-flight, he reportedly told the student, “You know what to do, keep going forward,” before removing his headphones, securing belongings, unfastening his seatbelt, and opening the cabin door.

"Mindset is the foundation of survival—be prepared, adaptable, and stay resilient, no matter where life takes you." Episode Summary In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with special guest Michael Caughran, founder of American Reconstruction Concepts and former Air Force SERE instructor, to explore survival, escape, and evasion skills for everyday citizens. We cover everything from the Gray Man philosophy, situational awareness in urban environments, and the real priorities behind physical preparedness, to actionable ways anyone can start building mental resilience. I also share my own insights, challenges, and personal experiences when it comes to balancing preparedness, family life, and staying ready for the unexpected.

Course offerings at oftllc.us Key Takeaways Mindset and resilience are the most crucial factors in any survival or self-defense situation. The Gray Man concept is about blending in, being forgettable, and minimizing your risk profile in everyday life. Technology like GPS, cell phones, and drones has dramatically changed both urban and wilderness evasion tactics. Tactical positioning, situational awareness, and being proactive can help you avoid or escape dangerous situations in urban crowds or riots. Simple preparedness upgrades—like specialized boot laces or a covert handcuff key—can be lifesavers in abduction scenarios. Survival isn't just about wilderness skills; practical urban escape and evasion techniques are vital for professionals, travelers, and everyday citizens. Physical and spiritual preparedness can—and should—go hand in hand for a holistic approach to self-reliance. The five basics of survival: personal protection, sustenance, communications, health, and travel.

The term "lifelong learner" can mean different things to different people. Certainly, as a licensed professional engineer, it goes without saying that we HAVE TO BE lifelong learners - Continuing education is a requirement for license maintenance.

A proposal to reduce my Construction Layout course from a 16-week 100% in-person format to an 8-week hybrid course and the challenges that change will bringThe value of being on the "other side of the lecture," working as a student taking classes, and getting a chance to see what it's like to be a student againI hope this episodes rekindles your drive to enjoy continual learning & training.

On this episode of HALO Talks, Pete Moore sits down with Cricket Wardein, founder of Mighty Pilates, and Cat Martin, the company's CEO and longtime fan, to explore the explosive growth and evolution of their premium Pilates studio brand. Starting with a single location in San Francisco in 2009, Mighty Pilates has grown to 11 studios, with a 12th on the way, successfully combining authentic, high-quality Pilates instruction with a strong sense of community and innovative business strategies.  Listen in as Cricket Wardein and Cat Martin share the story of Mighty Pilates, discuss building a sustainable and inclusive fitness brand, and reveal how a commitment to instructor training and neighborhood-focused locations has helped them thrive in an ever-expanding wellness market. On creating an inclusive fitness experience, Cat states, "We don't want technology to be the first thing someone sees when they walk in the door. We want it to be a smiling, welcoming face, a tour that takes you through the studio, a connection with a teacher that really understands how to move with your body." Key themes discussed Mighty Pilates' growth and expansion strategy Importance of high-quality instructor training Community-building and member experience Intentional studio design and amenities Pricing, market differentiation, and competition Flexibility and local adaptation in scheduling Balancing scale with operational excellence A Few Key Takeaways 1. Purposeful, Gradual Growth: Mighty Pilates expanded slowly and intentionally, choosing quality over rapid expansion. The company started with two studios, focusing on perfecting the member experience before scaling up to eleven locations, with a twelfth in progress. This growth was largely funded by studio profits rather than external capital, underscoring a sustainable, disciplined approach 03:14. 2. Commitment to High-Quality Instruction: A core differentiator for Mighty Pilates is its rigorous teacher training program. Instructors must complete 400–600 hours before teaching classes, and the company runs six to seven training cohorts per year. This commitment ensures a consistently high-quality experience, especially compared to the much shorter certifications at some other studios 07:01. 3. Community and Inclusivity Drive Retention: The studios are designed to foster community, with intentional spaces for clients to connect before or after class. Efforts such as coffee and tea stations, happy hour events, and a welcoming, home-like atmosphere encourage members to spend more time at the studio, strengthening loyalty and satisfaction 21:02. 4. Flexible, Data-Informed Studio Operations: Each studio tailors its class schedule and offerings to its local community, rather than applying a cookie-cutter approach. This involves analyzing neighborhood-specific habits (e.g., peak hours relating to school drop-off or urban work schedules) and responding nimbly to market trends like demand for heavier weights or new class types 17:32. 5. Selective and Strategic Expansion: Site selection is highly curated: for every twelve locations considered, only one may be chosen. Factors go beyond typical financial models, with heavy emphasis on surrounding amenities, neighborhood fit, and long-term potential for building community and training pipelines. The company avoids mass franchising, preferring to fill key markets and cluster studios where they can truly embed themselves 25:17.

She shares lessons on taking risks, building a team, serving customers, learning from mistakes, protecting trust, knowing your numbers, and continuing to move forward.The episode also explores why exit planning is about more than the transaction itself.

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I welcome three of golf's most respected voices for an episode packed with championship stories, elite instruction, and game-improving advice. Leading off is our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. I start off the segment by asking TP to explain his "why" behind doing what he does. From there, I ask him to explain the phrase "great ball striker," and isn't everyone on Tour a great ball striker? We discuss how the guys at the US Open couldn't pull off the 4-wood shot Corey Pavin hit to secure his 1995 US Open victory at Shinnecock, plus another round of bad fan behavior on Long Island. Next, World Golf Hall of Famer David Graham joins me, and we relive an extraordinary Hall of Fame career that included victories at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open, plus 40 professional wins across six continents. David shares memories of winning at Merion, being honored this year at Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament, and offers his perspective on the PGA Tour's proposed Championship Series, the future of professional golf, and what today's young players must do to become champions. Then, Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor Mike Malizia makes a return visit. Mike starts off by taking us through his blueprint for practicing more effectively, developing Tour-level fundamentals, improving your putting routine, and maximizing your performance—even if you only have 45 minutes to practice. Mike also discusses how technology and AI are influencing golf instruction, why the lead heel remains an important part of a powerful golf swing, and why understanding people is just as important as understanding the golf swing. Whether you're looking for golf instruction, golf swing tips, ball striking drills, putting improvement, PGA Tour news, U.S. Open analysis, World Golf Hall of Fame stories, or insights from some of the game's greatest teachers and champions, this episode delivers practical advice, unforgettable stories, and the inspiration to help you play your best golf. I hope you'll also join me over on Substack for exclusive golf articles, behind-the-scenes stories, bonus content, and your weekly dose of Vitamin G—because this is where golf legends live and your game gets better. #Golf #GolfPodcast #GolfInstruction #GolfTips #GolfSwing #GolfSwingTips #GolfLessons #GolfPractice #BallStriking #PuttingTips #ShortGame #GolfPerformance #MentalGame #GolfCoach #PGAProfessional #Top100Instructor #GolfMagazine #WorldGolfHallOfFame #DavidGraham #TomPatri #MikeMalizia #USOpen #PGATour #GolfNews #GolfLife #GolfCommunity #GolfAddict #WeekendGolfer #AmateurGolf #PlayBetterGolf #ImproveYourGolf #GolfTraining #GolfSkills #GolfDrills #GolfStrategy #GolfFitness #GolfMindset #JackNicklaus #BenHogan #Merion #ShinnecockHills #GolfHistory #GolfLegends #NextOnTheTee #ChrisMascaro #WhereGolfLegendsLive #YourGameGetsBetter #VitaminG #Substack #GolfContent

Why does an undetectable HIV viral load sometimes flip to “detectable” — and what does that actually mean for the patient? Host Ben Plumley talks with Ben LaBrot (Professor of Global Medicine, USC; Medical Affairs Lead, Roche Molecular Diagnostics) and Daniel Griffin, MD (Chief of Infectious Disease, Island Infectious Disease Medical, Instructor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University, Host, This Week in Virology) about the “viral blip” — a brief, low-level detectable result that occurs even in patients on fully effective antiretroviral therapy. The conversation covers the science behind ultra-sensitive viral load assays, the real meaning of U=U (undetectable = untransmittable), why lab handling and patient illness can cause a temporary blip, and why so many patients are blindsided by results in their MyChart before their doctor has a chance to explain. Ben and Daniel also discuss “prebunking” — preparing patients in advance — and the underused role of community health workers in HIV education. Topics: HIV, viral load, U=U, undetectable, antiretroviral therapy, infectious disease, diagnostics, patient communication, global health. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:13 The Viral Blip Riddle 01:20 Meet the Guests 04:02 Why Blips Matter Now 05:54 Assay Sensitivity and LOD 06:22 What Undetectable Means 08:36 U Equals U Confusion 12:50 MyChart Panic and Context 17:09 Prebunking Patient Fear 18:21 Why Blips Happen 20:59 Tech Problem Analog Fix 22:26 Testing Noise Sources 23:28 RNA Fragments Explained 25:16 Sample Handling Pitfalls 26:46 Reporting Low Copy Results 29:02 Managing Patient Anxiety 33:14 When a Blip Matters 36:12 Changing the Landscape 40:48 Community Outreach Ideas 43:12 Key Takeaways Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

The Supreme Court just struck down the "vampire rule," and we sat down with the attorney who beat it. Alan Beck argued Wolford and won, and in a rare appearance on the show he walks us through exactly what it changes for concealed carriers. This is the conversation you will not get anywhere else: the lawyer who took this case to the Supreme Court, in his own words. Mike and Alan break down what Wolford means for California's SB2, why it makes the fight over sensitive places and signage much easier from here, and the one thing you still have to honor at the door. Then Matt Hauff of West Coast Kinetic Solutions explains why most firearms training is backwards, Alicia digs into a Missouri defensive-gun-use story, and we get into a viral change of heart worth talking about.

Today on True Blue Conversations, we sit down with an extraordinary woman whose story is built on resilience, service, family, and an unbreakable mindset. Eva Clarke is a former Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force Physical Training Instructor, a mother, a wife to a serving military member, and one of Australia's most accomplished fitness endurance athletes. A multiple Guinness World Record holder, Eva has built a reputation for achieving what many would consider impossible through grit, determination, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Throughout her military career, Eva dedicated herself to helping others achieve their best, but it was her own battles with injury, adversity, and personal hardship that forged the resilience that would define the next chapter of her life. From serving in uniform to breaking world records in push-ups, burpees, pull-ups, endurance events, and fitness challenges across the globe, Eva has continually redefined what is possible. Despite battling serious wrist injuries and significant medical setbacks, she refused to let limitations dictate her future, instead turning obstacles into fuel and proving that the human spirit is capable of far more than most people imagine. As a mother, military spouse, veteran, educator, coach, and elite athlete, Eva's story is not simply about physical strength. It is about discipline, sacrifice, perseverance, and finding purpose through challenge. Her achievements have inspired countless people around the world and helped raise significant funds for charitable causes through her record-breaking efforts. This is a conversation about service, family, resilience, mental toughness, and what it truly means to keep moving forward when life throws everything it has at you. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the remarkable story of Eva Clarke. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Eva Clarke Editor: Kyle Watkins

Ann Marie and Mike also discuss how POLI can be used as a retention tool for key employees without giving up equity, including examples for closely held businesses, law firms, medical groups, family offices, and private equity-backed companies.Finally, they touch on important considerations including investment risk, suitability, time horizon, guaranteed issue requirements, institutional pricing, and the importance of working with experienced advisors who understand the structure.

The biggest and healthiest changes in your community can begin with one person.   Lyn Grady is a Food For Life instructor with the Physicians Committee who is helping people understand food as medicine, one class at a time.   In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Lyn joins Chuck Carroll to talk about why so many people are confused by food labels, why "healthy" marketing can be so misleading, and how Food For Life classes help people build confidence in the kitchen.   She shares stories from her classes, including the moment someone worried about the sugar in fruit after eating coffee cake, and an athlete who thought he was drinking a healthy aloe juice until Lyn showed him the label said zero percent juice.   This conversation is about more than food. It is about community, education, generational health, and becoming the person who helps others take their first step toward a healthier life.   Applications are now open for the Fall 2026 Food For Life instructor training.

Send us Fan MailAaron jumps on solo for a serious episode about the reported Air Force Special Warfare Zulu course ruck event, why it matters, and what candidates need to understand right now.This episode focuses on reports of a heavy evaluated ruck in the Zulu course, including a 10-mile ruck with roughly 100+ pounds, a 15-minute pace standard, full uniform and equipment requirements, Texas heat and humidity, medical concerns, heat casualties, and the larger question of whether the event is operationally valid, properly risk-managed, and appropriately messaged to candidates before they arrive.Aaron also talks directly to future Air Force Special Warfare candidates: if this event exists in the pipeline, you need to prepare differently. Running still matters, but rucking, foot conditioning, equipment setup, hydration, recovery, pacing, boots, socks, and load management now matter even more.This is not about making the pipeline easy. This is about standards, safety, professionalism, validated training, instructor accountability, and making sure candidates are prepared for the events they are actually going to face.Train with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comAFSOC prep programming:OnesReady.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:00 - Aaron Opens With a Serious Message01:30 - The Problem With the Zulu Course02:00 - Why Ones Ready Initially Supported Zulu02:58 - Calling Out a Failure at Chapman Training Annex03:30 - Messages From Parents, Students, and Sources04:10 - Don't Call Peaches, Talk to Aaron05:00 - Accountability for Leadership and Instructors06:00 - The Reported Zulu Ruck Standard06:45 - OFT and SOCOM Ruck Standards Compared07:47 - Block Two and Block Four Ruck Progression08:30 - Why Ones Ready Is Speaking Up09:15 - Helping Candidates When Official Messaging Fails10:12 - Is This Event Operationally Valid?11:00 - What Requirement Does This Ruck Actually Test?12:00 - Could the Instructors Pass Their Own Event?13:00 - Testing Events Before Students Do Them14:54 - Weather, Heat, and Texas Conditions16:00 - Instructor Responsibility and Professional Standards17:18 - Aaron Challenges Instructors to Prove Him Wrong18:00 - Candidate Warning: Your Ruck Volume Is Not High Enough18:45 - Rucking, Foot Conditioning, and Equipment Setup19:45 - What Candidates Need to Know About the Practice Ruck21:00 - Why the Practice Ruck Matters22:11 - The Human Performance Problem23:00 - Take the Practice Ruck Seriously24:00 - Straps, Socks, Boots, and Load Management25:30 - The Evaluated Ruck Event26:51 - Texas Heat, Humidity, and Full Uniform Concerns28:30 - Reported Heat Casualties and Medical Coverage Issues30:00 - Was the Event Worth the Risk?31:31 - Aaron's Open Challenge to the Training Wing32:15 - Medical Planning and Heat Injury Concerns33:00 - Refire Numbers and Course Attrition Concerns33:56 - When Someone Should Have Called Knock It Off35:00 - Safety Calls, Training Events, and Instructor Judgment36:17 - Training Deaths and Why This Matters37:00 - Safety Concerns Should Never Be Shamed39:00 - Respecting Knock-It-Off Calls40:15 - Candidates Must Hydrate and Recover Aggressively41:01 - No More Trash Recovery Habits42:15 - Refire Ruck and San Antonio Forecast43:22 - Heat Index and Refire Conditions45:00 - Why This Standard Does Not Match the Rest of the Force45:51 - What a Better Heavy Ruck Event Could Look Like47:00 - Ones Ready Supported Zulu, But This Has to Change48:14 - Accountability If Students Were Hospitalized49:00 - Why This Episode Had to Happen50:00 - Final Message to Instructors and Candidates50:42 - Sponsors and ClosingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

In this episode of Poised for Exit, Jen Roth, Founder and CEO of Blue Sparq Marketing, joins the show to discuss how intentional marketing systems can drive sustainable growth and increase business value. Drawing from her experience building and leading marketing agencies, Jen shares how business owners can stop guessing at marketing and build a clear plan that supports growth.The conversation explores why marketing and sales must work together to create a predictable pipeline, how CRM systems and better lead tracking can improve decision-making, and why cutting marketing during slower periods can ultimately hurt long-term growth. Jen also explains how fractional marketing teams can give companies access to the strategy and execution they need without the cost of building a full in-house department.Jen also shares how AI can help marketing teams work more efficiently, without replacing the strategy and judgment that make marketing effective. They also touch on the importance of documenting institutional knowledge, building systems that do not rely entirely on the owner or top salespeople, and why these investments can make a business more scalable, transferable, and attractive to future buyers.Finally, Jen talks about her experience with Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and how the global peer community has supported her growth as an entrepreneur and leader. She shares why having a trusted network of fellow business owners, opportunities to learn from shared experiences, and a more holistic approach to leadership have been so meaningful in her journey.Connect with Jen Roth hereConnect with Blue Sparq Marketing hereConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

As a pediatrician and mom, I know firsthand how easy it is to get overwhelmed by standard parenting tips and the pressure to have a perfect family life. In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and curated social media fairy tales, so many couples feel like they are constantly falling short. On this channel, my goal is to share the beautiful, unglamorous reality of making relationships work. We cannot just hope for a happy marriage and connection to happen by chance…we have to be intentional about creating it. That is why I love bringing authentic guests onto the podcast to share real, unfiltered relationship advice. In this episode, I'm sitting down with former Navy SEAL sniper instructor and author Brandon Webb to talk about his brand new book, Puddle Jumpers. Brandon reminds us that we don't have to succumb to public judgment or relationship anxiety. Real growth happens in our everyday routines, like setting core family values, prioritizing intentional quality time, and learning how to celebrate failure. By breaking down the illusion of perfection and working through messy parenting moments, we can move past the comparison trap and build a resilient, peaceful home. Why treating presence as an intentional choice rather than a balancing act is the key to lasting connection with your children. How choosing fewer distractions and putting down your phone can completely eliminate family disconnect and parenting anxiety. Easy, practical ways to establish a united co-parenting front and protect intentional habits like individual father-child trips. Why elite military instructors, pediatricians, and parents must embrace failure and small stressors as necessary stepping stones to confidence. Breaking down the distinct transition from a dictator parent to a counselor role as your children mature into adulthood.

As a PA State Suppression Instructor, City of Pittsburgh Recruit School Instructor, and Lead Instructor for Butler County Community College, he has dedicated himself to developing firefighters through realistic training and proven systems.This was a killer conversation as we dove into what it really means to train firefighters with purpose. We talk about predetermined assignments, SOPs, SOGs, JOGs, and why having clear systems in place builds confidence, accountability, and consistency on the fireground. One topic I was especially looking forward to discussing was experience. Brandon has strong opinions on the difference between time served and experience earned. As always, the audience was huge for this one with their big beautiful questions and drove the conversation!!!

Bobby and Wally share insights on managing student progress, fostering accountability, and maintaining clear communication under pressure.

Listeners will walk away with practical strategies to improve their teaching approach, from using lesson plans and objectives to balancing knowledge with empathy.
