The Knicks championship glow continues, but the conversation turns toward what it takes for another New York team to follow their lead. Tiki and Shaun weigh whether the Yankees have the edge, urgency, and organizational mindset to become the city's next champion while also acknowledging how far the Mets feel from that same conversation. The discussion moves from the Mets pitching problems to the Knicks blueprint, including smart roster building, basketball IQ, and the value of players who know how to win. Callers add emotional perspective on what the Knicks title means to fans, while the Yankees debate centers on whether their young players, pitching, and subtle organizational changes point to a team that is finally developing a true championship identity.

If you're working on transforming your mindset happiness and Also, if you'd like to go deeper, there is a free Mind-Body Healing deep dive training you can access here. https://brandygillmore.com/self-healing-training/ Have you ever felt stuck on your healing journey, even though you've been doing "all the right things"? So often, people are working with their mind, exploring spirituality, self-help, personal development, and new ideas about the body and healing. And while some of these ideas can feel exciting, mind-expanding, or even empowering at first, they can also create subtle conflict at a deeper subconscious level. For example, a person may begin believing that negative emotions are "stored" or "trapped" in their body and are impacting their health. And while emotions can absolutely show up in the body, there is an important distinction between feeling emotion in the body and believing negative emotions are literally trapped inside of you. That belief may sound helpful or even empowering on the surface. But at a deeper level, it can create a contradictory subconscious emotional response, such as fear, angst, stress, or a sense that something is wrong inside the body. And when the nervous system is receiving that type of fear-based message, it can work against the empowered emotional state that is important for self-healing. Further, when we look at mind-body healing at a deeper level, we can see that a person does not need to "remove" stored emotions from the body in order to begin creating a shift. Instead, when a person begins to recognize that emotions can shift in the present moment, it can feel deeply empowering. It may seem like a small distinction, yet it can elicit a completely different emotional response. And this is just one example. In this quick IQ episode, Brandy Gillmore shares how certain well-intentioned healing, spiritual, and self-help practices can sometimes work against the very transformation a person is trying to create. She unpacks how to begin noticing whether your inner work is helping you feel more empowered, connected, safe, loved, and alive — or whether it may be quietly creating more stress, fear, or conflict beneath the surface. If you have been working on healing yourself and still feel stuck, this episode may help you uncover the hidden patterns quietly working against you, so you can begin shifting your mind in a more loving, empowered direction. -- Important Note: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a replacement for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

What if the pricing function isn't just a specialty discipline—but one of the best training grounds for future CEOs? Ryan Walter, Partner at Jennings Executive Search and author of The Pricing Talent Playbook, joins Mark to explore the evolution of pricing careers, what separates great pricing leaders from average ones, and why pricing may soon become a recognized pathway to the CEO role. Ryan draws on his experience recruiting pricing talent and leading pricing teams across retail, manufacturing, data products, and industrial businesses. If you're building a pricing career, hiring pricing talent, or wondering how AI is reshaping the profession, this episode offers a glimpse into where pricing is headed next.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover why pricing may become a legitimate path to the CEO role. Learn why pricing transformations often fail despite strong strategy. Understand how AI is changing pricing talent expectations and why curiosity may now be more important than technical expertise alone.   "My prediction is that the pricing function is going to end up being a path to CEO." — Ryan Walter   Topics Covered: 01:00 – From Professional Musician to Pricing Leader. Learn why the skills required in professional music translated surprisingly well into pricing leadership. 03:05 – The Rare Combination Every Great Pricing Professional Needs. Why pricing success requires both IQ and EQ—the ability to work with complex data while influencing executives, sales teams, and non-technical stakeholders. Ryan explains why finding both traits in one person is surprisingly rare. 05:05 – The EQ Problem Pricing Professionals Must Solve. Mark and Ryan discuss why being right isn't enough. Learn how great pricing leaders simplify complexity, build trust, and communicate insights in ways that drive action instead of resistance. 06:50 – Why Ryan Wrote The Pricing Talent Playbook.

A fascinating hiring story reveals how a successful pricing leader was undermined when executive priorities shifted. Learn why organizational support often matters more than technical pricing expertise. 11:30 – What AI Is Changing About Pricing Right Now.

The discussion moves beyond productivity into AI as a strategic thought partner. 14:30 – The New Hiring Question Every Pricing Candidate Should Expect. More companies are now evaluating AI readiness during interviews. Ryan explains what hiring managers actually want to hear—and why curiosity matters more than having the perfect answer. 17:00 – Why Pricing Professionals Change Jobs More Often. Many pricing leaders thrive on building functions, driving change, and solving messy problems. Ryan explains why some professionals leave after creating momentum—and why that's often a feature, not a flaw. 19:15 – The Two Pricing Archetypes. Are you the builder or the operator? Ryan breaks down the two common pricing career paths: the change agent who loves creating order from chaos and the operator who excels at maintaining and evolving mature pricing functions. 22:00 – Why Pricing Could Become a Path to CEO. The episode's biggest idea. Ryan explains why pricing professionals gain unusually broad exposure to strategy, systems, finance, customers, and operations—and why that experience mirrors many responsibilities of a CEO.   Key Takeaways: [on pricing talent and skills ] "You need to be able to do the math and deal with the data and build models and figure out how systems work. But you also need to speak to non-technical folks in a way that they understand what your model is doing." – Ryan Walter [on pricing talent and skills ] "It's not just how to do math. It's helping as a thought partner to come up with [pricing] strategy." – Ryan Walter [Communication & Influence ] "You can't tell the sales leader about the R-squared.

In this episode, Dr. K explores the "alchemy of hate," breaking down how negative energy can be repurposed as a tool for growth and why the most successful people are often the most targeted. He delves into the neurobiology of the gifted mind, the hidden costs of a high IQ, and provides a clinical breakdown of common ADHD symptoms—from time blindness to the "freeze" response triggered by high-stakes pressure. What to expect in this episode: Hate vs. Anger: Understanding that while anger is a general emotion, hate is a personal relationship based on identification and ego that requires a "me" and a "you". The Success Trigger: Why people often hate you not because they think you will fail, but because they are afraid you will succeed, which mirrors their own unfulfilled potential. The High IQ Burden: An analysis of why high intelligence is a risk factor for anxiety, as a powerful mind can predict 100 problems while a human only has the capacity to solve 10. The EQ Buffer: How emotional intelligence can compensate for lower cognitive scores in professional settings and why it is essential for high IQ individuals to manage their "undisciplined" minds. The ADHD "Lockdown": Why high stakes, which motivate neurotypical people, often cause individuals with ADHD to freeze or "lock down" due to emotional dysregulation. The Right-Brain Bridge: Why articulating emotions into words is a neurological necessity to stop suppressed feelings from subconsciously sabotaging your logical calculations. Time Blindness Mechanics: A look at how ADHD impairs the internal biological clock, preventing the brain from gathering accurate data on how long tasks actually take. The "Left-Handed Path": A comparison between the Sith/Jedi dynamic and the Tantric disciplines of devotion versus engaging with "darker" forces for the accumulation of energy. Impulsivity and Follow-Through: Why the secret to finishing a project is often learning not to start based on a temporary impulse, as the same brain circuit handles both. The Alchemist's Perspective: Reframing hate and roadblocks as a "spiritual handicap" provided by the universe to help you "level up" and reveal your true power.

HEALTH NEWS   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Hirosaki University (Japan), June 10 2026 (News-Medical) Previous research has uncovered associations between diets higher in vitamin C and lower risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. However, few studies have looked directly at vitamin C levels in blood plasma and potential associations with brain structure and connectivity within brain networks. To help fill that gap, Nagaya and colleagues analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and plasma vitamin C levels of 2,044 adults over the age of 64. Specifically, they measured the volume of each participant's gray and white brain matter (accounting for individual differences in total brain volume between participants). They also evaluated connectivity within the default mode network, which is associated with several cognitive functions, such as attention and autobiographical memory. After statistically accounting for other factors the researchers found that participants with lower plasma vitamin C levels tended to have lower gray matter volume, as well as lower connectivity within the default mode network. These findings suggest the possibility that optimal levels of vitamin C in blood plasma could potentially support cognitive function and counteract cognitive decline. However, the findings do not confirm any such cause-effect relationship between vitamin C levels and brain health.   Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise University of Exeter (UK), June 11 2026 (Natural News) Researchers recruited 34 healthy, recreationally active young men and assigned them to receive either a placebo, a low-dose tart cherry concentrate, or a high-dose tart cherry supplement, according to the study report. Participants consumed their assigned supplement for seven days before completing a muscle-damaging workout and continued supplementation for three days afterward, for a total intervention of 10 days. The study found that tart cherry supplementation significantly altered the muscle's protein profile following exercise-induced damage. Changes were observed in proteins involved in muscle structure, contraction, cellular repair processes, and immune-cell activity within muscle tissue. These findings suggest that tart cherry polyphenols may influence the way muscles respond to and recover from the stress of exercise. Researchers also detected significant increases in hippuric acid, a compound produced when gut microbes break down polyphenols from tart cherries and other plant foods. Participants with higher levels of hippuric acid tended to maintain better muscle function following exercise-induced damage.   Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Washington University in St. Louis, June 11 2026 (Medical Xpress) After analyzing hundreds of biological, psychological, social and environmental factors related to children's development, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that a family's financial situation and the resources and opportunities in a child's neighborhood had the strongest connection to brain development. Socioeconomic factors accounted for about 16% of the variability in measures of children's brain function—far more than IQ, parenting style and health history.  As part of the study, the researchers analyzed brain scans from nearly 12,000 children ages 9 to 10 to see how a child's environment, health and regular activities are related to brain development. Of the hundreds of factors examined, the team found that the socioeconomic status of a child's family had the strongest relationship with that child's brain structure and function. Further, the parts of the brain that reflect socioeconomic factors were the same areas most sensitive to sleep and stress, suggesting that socioeconomic disadvantage affects the brain indirectly through disrupted sleep and chronic stress. Of the top 40 variables linked to brain function, 37 were socioeconomic, and of the top 40 tied to structure, 35 were socioeconomic. These included the social and economic resources in the child's neighborhood, akin to the overall wealth of an area. Strong influences included family income, homeownership, poverty rates and access to transportation. The remaining top variables were related to sleep, screen time and stress.   Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Kings College London, June 11 2026 (Eurekalert) People who follow a short-term low-calorie diet may have reduced markers of inflammation associated with gum disease. A new study by King's College London highlights how lifestyle modifications could be important alongside plaque control in managing gum disease. The research included 28 patients from across hospitals in Spain, split into two groups – those who followed a five-day restrictive diet, versus a control group who continued their usual diet. Patients who fasted ate 1,100 calories for two days, then 750 calories for three days. The sixth day gently introduced more calories with soft foods – then their diets returned to normal by the seventh day. This was repeated three times in six months, with patients reporting the diet easy to stick to. After six months, samples were analysed from the patients' blood and gingival crevicular fluid – liquid that comes from the small space between your tooth and gum, which helps gums stay healthy and fight germs. Those who fasted had reduced markers of inflammation in samples from blood and gum tissue compared to those whose diets stayed the same, including lower levels of C-reactive protein, a general indicator of inflammation around the body. The fasting group also had reduced molecules linked to inflammation specifically in the gums, compared to controls.   Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease Michigan Technological University, Jun 10 2026 (News-Medical) Numerous types of cardiovascular disease and CVD risk factors were linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, with low blood pressure showing the strongest connection, according to a new analysis published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association What are the key findings of the analysis? Adults with hypotension (low blood pressure) were about three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's and nearly twice as likely in the All of Us study when compared to individuals who did not have low blood pressure. Across both datasets, adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) were 1.6 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease, compared to people without hypertension. Participants who had a previous stroke had a 1.5 times higher risk for Alzheimer's disease in the UK Biobank and 1.85 times in All of Us. Those with irregular heartbeat (or atrial fibrillation, also called AFib) were about 1.5 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease compared to those without AFib.

https://teachhoops.com/ In the modern landscape of high-IQ basketball, running a single, rigid defensive look is a recipe for a long night. If you only play a traditional 2-3 zone, smart teams will pick your seams apart. If you only play man-to-man, an opponent with elite downhill speed will force your interior shell to collapse. The Universal Zone Defense isn't about standing still in a passive perimeter shell; it is a fluid, adaptable Multi-Tool defensive system. Think of it as a defensive chameleon that alters its appearance based on where the ball travels. By matching the structural geometry of the offense in real time, a universal zone creates massive cognitive friction for the opponent's ball-handlers while strictly controlling their Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$). The biggest flaw in a standard, passive zone defense is that players guard "grass" instead of bodies. The Universal Zone fixes this leak by instantly transforming its shape based on the offensive alignment: Against a 1-3-1 or 3-2 Alignment: The defense assumes a classic, high-hands 2-3 formation to lock down the perimeter passing lanes. Against a 4-Out or 5-Out Concept: The top two defenders immediately spread out, transforming the look into a 3-2 or Matchup shell to take away rhythm perimeter look-aheads. The Analytical Goal: By adjusting the defensive shell to mirror the offense, you completely neutralize their spacing, forcing the ball out of the paint and into the low-probability Mid-Range Desert. Every defensive adjustment we make is designed to force a drop in the opponent's shooting efficiency. We track our defensive success by holding the opponent below a specific Defensive $eFG%$ Baseline: When you run a Universal Zone properly, you are essentially manipulating the variance of the game. Because the defense looks like a zone but rotates with the accountability of man-to-man, the offensive team's Decision IQ stutters. They waste valuable seconds trying to identify what coverage you are running, leading to rushed, late-clock heaves that plummet their overall $eFG%$. The number one reason zone defenses fail at the high school and youth levels isn't tactical breakdown—it is a drop in baseline physical energy. Players often view a zone as an opportunity to rest their legs. The Non-Negotiable Standard: In our program's "Truth Room," passive hands are treated as a culture leak. Every closeout in the Universal Zone must be executed with violent, high hands to disrupt the passer's vision. Building Resilience Equity: A truly universal system requires elite Next Play Speed. If a teammate gets beat off the bounce, the next player must step up and wall up cleanly, trusting that the weak-side rotation is sprinting to cover their vacated zone. Coach's Note: "A great Universal Zone shouldn't feel like a resting spot for your team; it should feel like a shrinking cage for the offense. Every pass they attempt should feel highly contested, and every drive should meet a wall of high hands. Don't just stand there guarding space—dictate the terms of the possession." Show Notes1.

This week I have another edition of Epix for you…five expansive progressive suites that cover all sorts of musical and emotion ground, from Renaissance, Wobbler, IQ, Gazpacho, and Sean Filkins! Kick back, relax, and be transported!

Josh Blackman examines the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, which prohibits executing individuals with low IQs. He highlights the subjectivity of IQ tests and the lack of constitutional basis for such standards. Blackman notes that defendants now have incentives to intentionally fail these tests to avoid the death penalty in federal court. (14)1937

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-9-2026.JUNE 1957.Liz Peek discusses SpaceX's $1.78 trillion IPO, questioning whether valuations for AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are sustainable. She notes that Starlink's profitability supports Elon Musk's moonshots. Despite inflation concerns, strong domestic private investment is currently driving U.S. economic prosperity while Europe struggles with over-regulation and high energy costs. (1)Liz Peek examines the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America in blue cities like Seattle and Los Angeles. She argues establishment Democrats fail to counter radical socialist propaganda. Concerns are raised over candidates promoting the abolition of prisons, drug use without judgment, and anti-Israel positions funded by extremist-linked donor groups. (2)Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the downing of a US Army helicopter by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. He notes Trump's focus on a potential economic siege over expensive military munitions. Schanzer discusses rumors of IRGCleadership decapitation by Israel and suggests the regime is flailing due to internal disarray and chaos. (3)Jonathan Schanzer discusses the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, noting that Iran's influence is shrinking. He highlights Qatar's role as a state sponsor of terrorism that buys American influence through massive investments, totaling hundreds of billions. Schanzer warns that Qatar and Turkey remain primary patrons for the radical Muslim Brotherhoodextremist group. (4)Mary Kissel addresses the Iranian standoff, emphasizing the threat of "impregnable" nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain. She notes Iran uses the Strait of Hormuz as leverage. Additionally, Kissel praises Ukraine's innovative drone technology for creating a stalemate against Russia and fostering a burgeoning, globally sought-after military-industrial complex within the war-torn country. (5)Mary Kissel highlights a regional trend toward liberty and transparency in the Americas, citing recent elections in Peru, Chile, and Argentina. She credits voters for rejecting failed leftist policies and discusses figures like Nayib Bukele and Javier Milei, the latter implementing a conservative agenda that is successfully reducing soaring Argentine inflation. (6)Joseph Sternberg explains China's reform of the Hukou residency system, which has limited internal migration since the 1950s. By granting migrants access to urban social services like healthcare and education, Beijing aims to reduce high household saving rates and stimulate domestic consumption to revitalize its slowing, multi-trillion dollar communist national economy. (7)Joseph Sternberg describes the UK Labour Party's internal strife as it debates returning to Blairite centrism versus far-left socialism. He critiques Keir Starmer's lack of decisive leadership during an anemic economic period. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's Reform Party is successfully poaching Labour's traditional working-class voters in various important regional British parliamentary by-elections. (8)Gregory Copley analyzes the downing of a US helicopter off Oman, noting strategic differences between American and Israeli objectives. While the US seeks a deal, Israel aims for regime change. Copley highlights the weakened state of the IRGC leadership and discusses how new global oil sources are currently mitigating Iranian threats. (9)Gregory Copley reviews the historical failure of the Jimmy Carter administration during the Iranian hostage crisis. He explains that President Trump refuses to be "Jimmy Carter," instead seeking the total collapse of the IRGC leadership. Copley argues that internal public response in Iran is far more effective than military commando raids. (10)Gregory Copley reports on a rare Ebola outbreak and jihadi threats in Central Africa. He notes that local governments fail to fund necessary healthcare infrastructure, relying instead on outside aid. Additionally, Copley details the ongoing Ethiopian civil war and the complex regional power struggle over control of the vital Red Sea. (11)Gregory Copley discusses Prince Harry's desire to return to Britain due to financial depletion. He notes the lack of trust from King Charles and Prince William, and the dissipated public affection for the Duke. Copley also references his new book on the authority and success of constitutional monarchy as practiced today. (12)Josh Blackman traces the modern history of the death penalty from the 1972 Furman case to 1976's Gregg v. Georgia. He critiques the "evolving standards of decency" doctrine used by the Warren Court, arguing it reflects the views of elites rather than the constitution or the broader American general voting public. (13)Josh Blackman examines the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, which prohibits executing individuals with low IQs. He highlights the subjectivity of IQ tests and the lack of constitutional basis for such standards. Blackman notes that defendants now have incentives to intentionally fail these tests to avoid the death penalty in federal court. (14)Peter Huessy discusses US plans to deploy nuclear-capable F-35s in Europe to counter Russian threats. He explains Russia's "escalate to win" doctrine involving low-yield battlefield nukes for "surgical" strikes. Huessy warns that Russiapossesses thousands of non-strategic weapons, far exceeding current NATO theater capabilities and its lack of transparent weaponry numbers. (15)Peter Huessy details China's growing non-strategic nuclear arsenal and dual-use delivery systems. He explains that Beijing believes it can control escalation to keep the US out of the Western Pacific. Huessy emphasizes that NATOlacks a comparable response in Asia, as the US withdrew similar theater weapons in 1991. (16)

https://teachhoops.com/ Welcome to the summary of this week's TeachHoops.com Member Coaching Call. One of the absolute best parts of managing this coaching community is stepping into the "Truth Room" with hungry, dedicated leaders from every level of the game. Whether you are a first-time youth coach trying to survive your first parent meeting or a 20-year veteran retooling your system after a tough season, these calls are where we strip away the fluff and build actionable blueprints. On this week's call, the whiteboard was packed. We spent a significant amount of time diving into the "muck and grind" of program architecture. We addressed the universal friction points that can derail a culture: moving from coach-led compliance to a self-policing locker room, maximizing your practice Rep Density, and utilizing exact spatial constraints to skyrocket your offensive efficiency. The Blueprint: It all comes down to your Standard of Tolerance from Day One. You cannot coach a player hard until you have made massive deposits into their personal trust account. Build that Relational Capital through "drive-by" affirmations during drills—praise their body language, their vocal communication, or their Next Play Speed after a turnover. The Fix: Separate skill execution from effort non-negotiables. If a young player misses a shot, you coach them up. If they hang their head, look at the floor, or loaf on defensive transition, you pull them instantly. When the standard is unyielding, the confidence follows because they know exactly where they stand. The Blueprint: Stop looking at your raw field goal percentage and start tracking your Paint Touch Ratio. The analytical math doesn't lie: if the basketball doesn't touch the key via a deep post feed or a downhill drive, your offensive shell is playing into the defense's hands. The Math: We use the Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) formula to prove this to our players in the film room: When you show your team that their $eFG%$ sits at an elite $58%$ when the ball touches the paint, but plummets into the low $30text{s}$ when they settle for early-clock perimeter heaves in the Mid-Range Desert, they stop over-dribbling and start hunting the paint. The Blueprint: You have to eliminate the "Joystick Coaching" mentality. If you are screaming directives every three seconds, you are training robots, not basketball players. The Constraint: Transition your practice shell to a high Activity Density layout. Drills must feature a Multi-Ball architecture where at least $70%$ of your roster is moving simultaneously. Use small-sided games ($SSGs$) with explicit limitations (e.g., maximum 2 dribbles, must complete 3 passes before a shot) to let the game do the teaching. Use a precise Socratic approach—ask questions to build their Decision IQ instead of shouting the answers. Coach's Note: "The magic of coaching isn't found in a secret baseline out-of-bounds play you sketch on a clipboard during a timeout. It's found in the unyielding standard of excellence you live every single day. If you want a player-led team that cuts down nets in March, you have to empower them to carry the bricks in July. Keep grinding, hold the line, and let's keep building leaders."

Murshed Chowdhury is the founder of Tech Duels, a communication and training platform redefining how individuals and organizations develop critical thinking and decision-making skills through structured debate. Murshed believes debate is one of the most underused leadership development tools available today. Not because it teaches people how to win arguments, but because it teaches them how to truly think, listen intently, and openly engage with ideas they disagree with. In this conversation, he explains why structured debate builds communication skills faster than most traditional training programs, how competition can strengthen learning without turning every discussion into a fight, and why live interaction is becoming more valuable as AI makes information increasingly accessible. He also shares why the future belongs to people who can combine technology with strong human judgment. Whether you're leading a team, developing talent, or navigating disagreement, this conversation makes a compelling case for why communication remains a distinctly human advantage.

It's a set of skills. If you can learn it, you can be an expert." "Public speaking is the number one fear in the United States above death." "You judge a person by their question, not by their answers." — Voltaire "With AI and deepfakes coming, live events, interaction, understanding, emotional intelligence, social IQ—that's going to be really important moving forward." "Critical thinking skills are something you need in every facet of life, personally and professionally." "Half of our conflicts come down to one side not hearing what the other side was trying to say." "You have two ears and one mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak." "There's some really cool stuff on the other side. If you just listen to the other side, you'll be shocked at how much alignment there might be." "Core skill sets like discipline, ambition, eagerness, curiosity, and the willingness to learn—these let you reinvent yourself at any age." "The time thing is supposed to give you guardrails so you don't talk endlessly. But when you have structured thinking, even two or three minutes is plenty of time." "People are listening to you, they're speaking to you. If you can really own that, you can do amazing things." "We're all learning AI as we go. Stay curious, keep learning, and focus on what you can control right now." "It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it." - Joseph Joubert Explore the full archive at www.theleadershippodcast.com or wherever you get your podcasts!

In Part 1, Tom Kelly walked us through how EVONA scaled from four founders to 80 recruiters in three years, then deliberately cut back to 30 — and per-head revenue doubled. In Part 2, he hands over the framework that explains how he manages the leaner team. And it starts with a number most agency owners have never been forced to confront. If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, listen to that one first — it sets up everything Tom unpacks here. Brought to you by Atlas. The AI-first recruitment platform that captures every candidate conversation automatically. Atlas customers report 40%+ EBITDA growth and 80%+ increase in monthly billings. Get your exclusive listener offer at recruitwithatlas.com. Tom segments every sales team into four brackets. The top 10% who don't care about anyone else — they just want to bill. The next 20% who aspire to be that top performer. The bottom 10% who were never going to make it. And then the middle 60%. The bracket nobody manages correctly. Because the middle 60% don't measure themselves against the top performers. They measure themselves against the bottom 10%. As long as they're doing enough not to be the worst person on the team, they think they're fine. That's the bracket quietly sinking most agencies, and most owners can't see it because they manage everyone on the team the same way. The second framework Tom hands over is the activity benchmark EVONA uses to define elite. 25 interviews on a rolling four-week period. Reverse engineered from a 12-to-1 interview-to-placement ratio, the number means a recruiter hitting it consistently is doing two placements a month at minimum. Drop below 25 and Tom is direct — you are not fit to play at the top level. Tom also unpacks why he would hate to be running a big recruitment company right now. AI governance is about to break the firms that can't police what their recruiters are doing with dashboards, prompts, and outreach automation. LinkedIn is heading into a tidal wave of AI-driven spam. Vertical platforms are about to replace the way candidates look for jobs. And recruitment is now an IQ-over-EQ game — the people leveraging the tools and staying sharp are pulling away from everyone else. He opens the conversation with the moment that built all of this. Tom had a stutter so bad as a kid he was afraid to pay a phone bill. He chose recruitment specifically because it would force him onto the phone every day. That fear is the engine behind eight years of building EVONA — and the reason "evolving" is the company's core value. Tom closes with the books that shaped him (the Rockefeller Habits, Ronnie Wood, Alex Ferguson on man management), why Claude is the tool changing how he thinks, why he's not crazy about Bullhorn, and the one piece of advice he'd give every recruiter facing the next 18 months. Don't be a lone wolf. What You'll Learn: - The four-bracket framework Tom uses to manage every sales team, and why the middle 60% is the bracket quietly sinking most agencies - The 25-interview rolling 4-week benchmark that defines elite at EVONA, and the ratio behind it - Why Tom says recruitment is now IQ over EQ, and what that shift means for average recruiters - The vertical-platform shift coming for LinkedIn, and how candidates will find jobs in the next two years - Why a stutter became the engine of Tom's career, and what that says about the recruiters who succeed - The tools, books, and habits that shape Tom's leadership at EVONA Connect with Tom Kelly: LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/evonatom/ Email — tom@evona.com EVONA — https://evona.com

Part of the deep state manipulation playbook is to demand total abeyance to the narrative. And in California, that narrative is becoming more and more clear. Democrats win ALWAYS, even (and especially) when the candidates are low IQ people with horrible records. As Xavier Becerra skips over Steve Hilton in the CA governor's race, Spencer Pratt voters are told "that's just the way things are here" as no-name socialist Nithya Raman suddenly becomes the democrats' mail-in ballot darling. Harry Enten proves he's a deep state plant.

Hakeem Jeffries showed up in an ice cream suit to mock Trump for going to the Knicks game — claiming Trump doesn't know Karl Rove from Karl-Anthony Towns — right before NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed Trump's been a genuine, decades-long Knicks fan. Stephen A. Smith threatened to blame Trump for a Knicks loss and got caught searching his own name on X, then Trump landed at 2AM and said Smith doesn't have the IQ to run for president. Even Whoopi Goldberg ended up being the voice of reason.

Most companies hire and promote based on IQ and productivity — but what if emotional intelligence is the real driver of lasting success? In this episode of Anatomy of Success, Steve Wolinhaus breaks down the nine defining behaviors of emotionally intelligent people and why identifying them can transform your team, your leadership, and your organization. Inspired by his father — a pioneer in championing EQ long before it was mainstream — Steve makes a compelling case for why emotional intelligence is the rarest and most valuable skill in today's workplace, and why so many companies are consistently promoting the wrong people. In this episode, you'll discover the 9 things emotionally intelligent people do: Manage stress in healthy ways that don't bleed into the workplace Stay assertive without being obnoxious — and set firm boundaries with toxic people Communicate feelings clearly without being defensive or accusatory Avoid taking things personally and let thoughts settle before responding Refuse to be vindictive and release negative emotions instead of holding grudges Own their mistakes and focus on solutions rather than blame Lead with genuine empathy and consider the impact of their words on others Take full responsibility for their personal and professional outcomes Operate with confidence and thick skin — without needing external validation Whether you're hiring, building a team, or working on your own personal growth, this episode will give you a clear framework for recognizing and developing emotional intelligence where it matters most.
