Noob Spearo Podcast | Spearfishing Talk with Shrek and Turbo
No host behind the desk for this one. Five of the Noob Spearo crew — Matty, Liv, Noffs, Rhys (No Viz Adventures) and Chiz — hand the mic around in Amed, Bali while they work through their freediving instructor course with Adam Sellars at The Pressure Project. You'll hear the full airport saga (a declared speargun, a false-positive drug swab on the podcast recorder, a phone lost forever), Rhys talking through his first-ever loss of motor control on a static, the mouthfill "great mystery" that throws every spearo sideways at 15 metres, and the mindset gold from Adam — the nana voice, the poo emoji, and diving with no plan B. It's Full Froth, No Ego in the flesh: a crew coming up short, laughing about it, and getting better the next day. Heads up from Shrek — these guys are learning in live time, so take the technical stuff with a grain of salt. For any spearo curious about crossing into proper freediving, or wondering what really happens on an instructor course. KEY TOPICS COVERED: The full travel disaster: declaring a speargun, a false-positive recorder swab, a lost phone Rhys's first LMC on day one — what it felt like and why his ego put him there Knowing when to push (mental) and when to stop (physical) The instructor requirements: 3:30 static, 75m dynamic, 32–40m depth, assignment and presentation Mouthfill from scratch — the mechanics and why it throws every spearo off Adam's mindset tools: the nana voice, the poo emoji, no plan B, and relaxation as king Why free immersion "feels like cheating" to a spearo Honest Amed travel tips and why every boat needs a proper first aid and oxygen kit CONNECT WITH THE CREW: Rhys / No Viz Adventures: [CHECK: channel URL + handle] The Pressure Project (Adam Sellars), Amed, Bali: [CHECK: URL] NOOB SPEARO: Spearfishing Courses and Retreats: spearfishingcourses.com.au Instagram: @noobspearo Website: noobspearo.com Newsletter: noob-spearo.kit.com/floater PARTNER DEALS: Adreno Spearfishing: spearfishing.com.au — use code NOOBSPEARO to save $20 on orders over $200 Neptonics: neptonics.com — use code NOOB10 to save 10% storewide Old Man Blue: oldmanblue.com.au — use code NOOBSPEARO for a free vinyl filleting apron on orders over $300 Aqualyte Hydration: aqualyte.com.au — use code NOOBSPEARO to save 10% Dog & Gun Coffee: dogandguncoffee.com — use code NOOB10 to save 10% HohnkeOutdoors: hohnkeoutdoors.com — use code NOOBSPEARO to save 20%
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.
Phil Puckorius and Dominic Grossi are avid hunters and the chief and assistant chief instructors for the National Sporting Clays Association ... who better to help us hit more birds? They've got theory and practice to share ... from "reading" the bird in flight to shotgun fit, foot position to a version of "follow-through" that actually works. We go into the deep woods for shooting tactics on ruffies and woodcock, and sit in a duck blind for a bit. Phil and Dom offer practice strategies for bird hunters at the range, too. Where does a mirror fit into your shooting success? You'll have to listen. "Fix It" helps you take control once a bird is pointed, and listeners and viewers chime in on their longest road trips. You can watch the video version of this podcast on Field & Stream TV Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. eastern/7:30 p.m. Pacific on any smart TV, Roku, and other streaming services.

What does it mean for an animal to travel between worlds? In this episode, Julie, Karen, and Meredith explore the rich and ancient concept of the psychopomp — a guide of souls between the realms of the living and the dead — sparked by a single word encountered in their recent conversation with The Wisdom of the Hive authors Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Amy Bertain. Meredith takes the hosts on a journey through mythology and culture, from Anubis in ancient Egypt and the Aztec Xolo dog to Norse Valkyries and the bird messengers of countless traditions, revealing how deeply animals have been woven into humanity's understanding of transition and the afterlife. Karen shares a moving personal experience of a hairless spirit guide appearing in meditation, Julie reflects on what animals share during pet loss grief sessions about who accompanied them across, and all three explore encounters with crows, cardinals, moths, and more. Along the way, they ask a profound and tender question: do animals — and perhaps even we, as animal communicators — serve as guides between the realms in ways we're only just beginning to name?

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
Reshaping the Future of Healthcare– Genetic Screening with Emily Goldberg of JScreen On this episode of Her Health Compass, Heather and Yonni explore something with the potential to reshape the future of healthcare — genetic screening. Many people assume genetics only matter when there's a strong family history of disease, but advances in screening show that understanding your genetic risk can guide prevention, early detection, and even life-saving decisions. Heather and Yonni are joined by Emily Goldberg of JScreen, a national nonprofit providing accessible genetic testing and education. Together, they dive into how genetic screening actually works, who should consider it, and what your DNA can reveal about risks for hereditary conditions like breast cancer. They also unpack the biggest misconceptions about genetic testing — and how knowing your genetics can empower listeners to take real control of their health. Emily Goldberg serves as the Director of Genetic Counseling Services at jscreen, where she is dedicated to helping individuals understand and manage their genetic health. With dual bachelor's degrees in biology and psychology from Brandeis University and a master's degree in Human Genetics from Sarah Lawrence College, Ms. Goldberg has been a certified genetic counselor since 2011. Prior to joining jscreen, she worked at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, specializing in prenatal and cancer genetics. In addition to her role at jscreen, Ms. Goldberg is committed to education, serving as an Instructor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and adjunct faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, where she teaches and mentors future genetic counselors. Her expertise and dedication make her a key member of the jscreen team. Find Yonni & Heather here https://www.herhealthcompass.com/

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. How a legendary Olympic coach used a mental management curriculum to teach positive self-talk, self-reflection, and unshakable grit. How to find joy in the mundane, unglamorous phases of parenting—like letting your kids jump in a messy mud puddle.

Joined on this episode by my man Brandon Chapman! Brandon is the Co-Founder and Instructor of GRIT Fire Training LLC, Driver on Truck 17 in the City of Pittsburgh, Assistant Fire Chief for Stowe Township Fire Department, and firefighter with West Lanham Hills Volunteer Fire Company 28 in Prince George's County, Maryland.With 17 years of combined career and volunteer fire service experience, Brandon has earned a reputation as both a passionate student of the fire service and a respected instructor. 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!!!

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. How a legendary Olympic coach used a mental management curriculum to teach positive self-talk, self-reflection, and unshakable grit. How to find joy in the mundane, unglamorous phases of parenting—like letting your kids jump in a messy mud puddle.

No memberships. No free trials. Just one simple model run with relentless consistency. I sat down with Jade Winter to pull apart how he did it, and to get the operating principles any studio owner can steal, whether you do Pilates, strength, or anything in between. We covered the contrarian stuff most people are scared to touch. Why free trials train people not to value you. Why he ditched memberships for prepaid packs and never looked back. And the exact revenue ceiling, what we call the "40K fuckery," where owners hit a wall, dip about 20% for three months, and either learn to lead or burn out. If you've ever felt like you ARE the business instead of owning one, this one's for you. In this episode you'll hear: Why Jade kills the free trial and what he runs instead The prepaid pack model and the 80 to 90% repurchase rate behind it How he solved instructor inconsistency with screens, voiceover, and 100+ hours of training The "don't blame them, train them" rule Why base plus commission beats paying instructors hourly The "$50 of value for $25" test that survives any downturn The wake up call that forced him to build real systems What the top 10% of studios do differently (hint: it's not talent) The one tactical move to make first thing Monday morning CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Meeting on neutral ground 00:02:00 Kill the free trial: why paid intros win 00:03:00 Prepaid packs vs memberships 00:05:49 How the 100-hour instructor model works 00:07:33 The screens and voiceover origin story 00:10:00 Instructor inconsistency: the real enemy 00:19:53 Don't blame them, train them 00:22:24 The 80% conversion benchmark 00:24:30 Base plus commission 00:30:00 Deliver $50 of value, charge $25 00:42:28 The wake up call: being the business vs having one 00:43:46 The "40K fuckery" explained 00:50:52 The Monday morning move 00:53:58 Wrap up If you got something from this, then you need to listen to "Coming back from rock bottom with Travis Young from Reborn."

In this episode of Behind the Prop, hosts Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhearn dive deep into the essential soft skills that set exceptional flight instructors apart from the rest. They explore why teaching ability often outweighs raw flying proficiency when it comes to developing great CFIs, emphasizing the need to hire teachers rather than just pilots. The discussion highlights how emotional intelligence plays a critical role in the cockpit, helping instructors connect with students of all ages and backgrounds while adapting to individual learning styles. Bobby and Wally share insights on managing student progress, fostering accountability, and maintaining clear communication under pressure. They stress the value of effective debriefs and how these moments build trust and accelerate learning. Real stories from their experiences illustrate the shift from demonstrating skills to creating environments where students can learn through guided practice and even mistakes. The conversation also covers professionalism and leadership, reminding instructors that they serve as role models who shape the next generation of pilots. Listeners will walk away with practical strategies to improve their teaching approach, from using lesson plans and objectives to balancing knowledge with empathy. Whether you're a new CFI or a seasoned instructor, this episode offers valuable takeaways for elevating flight training.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art.

The conference includes classes in West African drumming and dance for beginners as well as experienced performers. Instructors are visiting from Guinea, Mali and Nigeria. Classes run Friday through Sunday at the Barbara Barker Center for Dance on the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Campus. A culminating performance, “Bridges of Rhythm: A Path of Generations,” is open to all this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Duniya Drum & Dance also teaches weekly community classes.Brotha Ase says: It's a great opportunity that you should take advantage of this weekend, if you're looking for something cool to do and getting some cultural healing in your spirit.— Brotha AsePlein Air painters flock to Red WingJoshua Cunningham is a landscape painter in St. Paul who works primarily with Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis. He highly recommends the 20th annual Red Wing Arts Plein Air events taking place this month. Artists are painting within a 25-mile radius of Red Wing, including in the city itself, over the next week. Opportunities to watch artists at work — and for kids to paint for free — include this Saturday from 9-11 at the Red Wing Arts. An exhibition of the work they create runs June 20 – Aug. 16 at the Depot.Joshua says: They have had between 50 and 100 paintings done every year, so you can imagine the body of work that has been created over the last 20 years. Though some of those areas get painted more frequently than others, [each] day only comes once. The light and the air of a given day is what defines all of the colors and the values — and often the mood of the place — so you're never really standing in the same place twice.— Joshua CunninghamFootball meets dance performanceScott Pakudaitis, board chair of Revolution Dance Works, has been a fan of Corpus Dance Works since he saw their fringe show inspired by plant biology in 2022. He's looking forward to their new dance show inspired by sports team culture, “Line of Scrimmage,” at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis June 11-15.He anticipates high energy and some comedy that will appeal to sports and dance fans alike:Scott says: They create very innovative and frenetic dances that touch on a lot of things that everybody can relate to. There will be things like mascots and a marching band and dancing referees, a look behind the locker room, tackles and lots of balls flying in the air from dancers who do not know how to catch footballs.— Scott Pakudaitis

GLP-1s, Peptides & Metabolic Health | What Women Need to Know About Weight Loss, Metabolism & Menopause Are GLP-1 medications the breakthrough women have been waiting for, or are they simply the latest health trend dominating social media?

Shortly after his inauguration, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a package of tough-on-crime bills that drastically changed the state's sentencing laws. Now, two years later, the governor is hoping to add even more beds to the state's largest prison through a newly proposed corrections budget. ProPublica and Verite News have spent more than two years investigating the impact of Landry's policies on the criminal justice system and how expanding the state's corrections budget would impact taxpayers. Verite News reporter Richard Webster joins us with more.Louisiana Republican State Sen. Jay Morris used his office to help bring one of the world's largest data centers to Richland Parish. But he also owned thousands of acres surrounding the site that the company planned to build on. He then sold some of that land for the construction of a power plant that will provide energy to Meta's massive array of computers.Garrett Hazelwood, an investigative reporter at Floodlight, worked in partnership with Verite and the Louisiana Illuminator to break the story. He tells us more about his findings that Morris's conduct may have violated state ethics laws. In New Orleans, there's an ongoing battle at the office of the clerk of criminal court — or what was the office of the clerk of criminal court. Calvin Duncan, a lawyer, criminal justice advocate and wrongfully convicted Black man who served almost 30 years in prison before his exoneration, ran for clerk of criminal court and won. Afterward, state lawmakers removed his position, seeking to combine his office with the civil court clerk.In a recent interview on Louisiana Considered, Duncan traced the move to unseat him before taking office back to the days of Reconstruction. Arguing that Louisiana has a history of diluting Black political power.Jarret Luter is an Instructor of History at Southern University. He joins us for more on the throughline between Reconstruction and modern examples of diluting Black voting power.June 1 marks the start of Pride Month, so today we're remembering the late gay rights activist Stewart Butler. A survivor of the tragic Upstairs Lounge fire, the New Orleans native's activism spanned over 40 years as he helped found numerous LGBTQ+ organizations.In 2019, Butler spoke with Mark Cave from the Historic New Orleans Collection about his contributions to the movement, including the first gay rights conference at LSU.

Alan Mack flew Chinooks for the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment for seventeen years. Chief Warrant Officer 5. Senior MH-47 pilot. Flight lead. Instructor. He was the pilot in command of Razor 03 on Takur Ghar — the aircraft shot up trying to insert a SEAL element on top of the mountain that became Roberts Ridge. He has logged over 6,700 flight hours, took rounds through his cockpit on Anaconda, ran fog approaches into walled compounds in Iraq, and helped write the procedures the Night Stalkers still use to land in zero visibility. After retiring, he commanded the flight detachment at West Point and spent a decade running emergency management for a New York county. He is the author of Razor 03 and the upcoming Chinooks in the Dark. We cover the new Medal of Honor awarded to a 160th pilot and what it actually takes to earn one. The Anaconda shoot down — RPG, lost hydraulics, three cans of fluid, and a crew chief pumping a t-handle to keep him in the controls. Why he chose to dive at a Dishka instead of climbing. The myth around Extortion 17 and why the conspiracy doesn't hold up. How the unit trains pilots to fly through real lead. Air refueling at night in the weather. Cutting hoses with rotor blades. And the lessons every pilot — military or civilian — needs to internalize before the aircraft starts shedding systems on them.
