Here's what we're seeing right now: Pickiness over location. Lengthy salary negotiations. And a feeling that candidates need to sell themselves more. This all sounds exactly like what we saw 2 years ago. And 6 years ago. And (ugh) 10 years ago. And it's not like these, or any other hiring issues, don't get talked about in the industry. They just keep coming back like clockwork. Jeff Smith and James Hornick discuss why this never ending cycles happen in the next The 10 Minute Talent Rant, 114 “Why Hiring Challenges Never Go Away”

This week, Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with California outdoors legend Yancey Forest‑Knowles—a waterfowling and conservation icon with over 70 years in the field. Dubbed the “embodiment of the authentic outdoorsman,” Yancey's journey began duck hunting at age 10 in the Bay near Palo Alto and evolved into a life filled with adventure, leadership, and preservation (cohof.org).A former elementary-school principal from Santa Rosa, Yancey's passion for wildlife runs deep. He's leased marshland for duck clubs, guided white-water rafting trips for over a decade, and even raced yachts across the Pacific and Atlantic. A champion sporting-clays shooter, he's traveled the world hunting and fly fishing, and he co-authored Pacific Flyway – Historical Waterfowling Images.In leadership roles like Chairman of the California Waterfowl Association, Secretary of the Klamath Water Committee, and as a key advisor with the Pacific Flyway Center, Yancey has fought for water rights and wetland restoration—meeting with Interior Secretaries to secure dedicated water for Lower Klamath Refuge. He's also been inducted into the International Order of St. Hubertus and contributed to the Golden Gate Salmon Association, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, and more.

We'll review reaction to the new state budget deal, perhaps best summed up as having something for everyone to like—and hate. The Joint Finance Committee passed it on Tuesday, so the full Senate and Assembly will both be in session today to consider it. Meanwhile, the US Senate passed the largest transfer of wealth and ending of healthcare coverage in American history—but that doesn't mean Republicans in the US House will send it on to President Trump.

We'll review the newly-announced bipartisan state budget agreement with Dan Shafer of The Recombobulation Area. It's a deal that falls far short of what you'd see if Gov. Evers and advocates of education, child care, and health care had their way—and it's far more than what would result if Republicans controlled the governor's office. But is it enough to quell the voices telling Evers to veto the deal for not going far enough.

(00:00) Mastering Golf Scoring Techniques This chapter focuses on the nuances of scoring in golf, particularly emphasizing the short game and how to effectively handle different types of shots and lies on the course. We discuss the importance of understanding the slopes on which you find yourself and adjusting your body position to maintain stability and control. Techniques like the "firm handed scrape" are explored, offering practical advice on how to execute shots like the bump and run effectively. By establishing a firm base and aligning your shoulders with the slope, you can predict your club's landing spot more accurately, improving your overall performance on the greens. (13:39) Mastering Golf Short Game Techniques This chapter focuses on the nuances of hand and wrist movement in various physical activities, emphasizing the importance of finding a balance between stiffness and flexibility, referred to as the "Goldilocks" zone. We explore how touch and feel play a crucial role in tasks such as tossing a ball, throwing a dart, or cutting a steak, where neither overly rigid nor too loose motions are effective. By examining the concept of a "firm-handed scrape" in golf, we illustrate how subtle control and balance can enhance performance, particularly in executing a bump and run shot. The importance of balance, stability, and understanding ball position is highlighted, along with the idea that techniques should be adaptable rather than rigidly defined. The conversation encourages a shift in mindset to prioritize balance and stability to improve shot accuracy and consistency around the greens. (23:20) Mastering Golf Bunker Techniques This chapter explores the technique known as the "hinge and thump," which is a favorite short game lesson from Jeff Smith. We discuss how this technique, ideal for bunker shots and various other lies, can save strokes by effectively getting the ball airborne with a high, soft trajectory. The focus is on creating a vertical wrist hinge, allowing the club to strike the ground in a precise spot, typically around the front hip joint. We contrast this with the firm-handed scrape shot, emphasizing that the club must get below the ball to achieve the desired result. By establishing a solid base, matching shoulder lines to slopes, and choosing between the two techniques, golfers can master their short game and execute impressive shots over obstacles like bunkers. (34:50) Improving Putting Success With Green Reading This chapter focuses on improving putting skills by emphasizing factors beyond stroke technique. We explore four key elements that influence putting success: speed control, distance control, consistent targeting, and green reading. By practicing speed control, golfers can ensure their putts have the right pace to fall into the cup. We highlight the importance of distance control by suggesting practice without aiming at a hole to build confidence in hitting the correct distance. Consistency in hitting a specific target from a short distance is another aspect we examine, which can help confirm the accuracy of the putter face alignment. Lastly, we discuss effective green reading strategies, such as maintaining a level head to better assess the tilt of the green, enhancing overall putting performance. (43:36) Breaking Down Green Reading Obstacles This chapter focuses on the resistance some people exhibit when learning new techniques, specifically in the context of an Aimpoint class for reading greens in golf. We discuss how individuals often defend their current methods, even when they aren't effective, by resisting new approaches. The conversation highlights how this resistance can manifest as a defensive barrier, which ultimately hinders their progress. We also touch on the physical sensations experienced during the learning process, emphasizing that even if one doesn't feel changes in their feet, they might notice them elsewhere in the body. For those interested in further exploration, a reference to an episode titled "Green Illiterate" is mentioned as a resource for more detailed discussion.

The entry-level job market is bad!   Crowd: “How bad is it?”   It's so bad that journalism majors are having an easier time finding work than computer science grads. (That part isn't a joke. 6.1% unemployment vs. 4.4%.)   Despite a strong overall job market, recent grads are getting squeezed. “Entry-level” roles now require experience, companies have slashed college recruiting programs, and AI is replacing a lot of junior work entirely.   But why is this happening?

(00:00) Golf Discussion With Joe Bosco This chapter takes a fascinating look at the mental and emotional aspects of golf with special guest Joe Bosco, a respected expert in human performance. We discuss how the mind can both enhance and inhibit physical performance on the golf course, emphasizing the importance of mental control and emotional management. Joe shares insights into how golfers can improve by integrating mental strategies with physical skills, transforming them into more complete players. We explore scenarios that test a golfer's mental resilience, like facing a challenging par three over water, and highlight the common tendency for golfers to get stuck in their heads, focusing too much on mechanics rather than trusting their skills. Through this engaging conversation, we aim to help golfers overcome mental obstacles and enhance their performance by aligning their mind and body. (06:57) Navigating Parental Pressure in Junior Golf This chapter addresses the pressing issue of parental pressure in youth sports, particularly in junior golf. We explore the detrimental effects of parents who hover over their children, pushing them to perform for reasons tied to parental pride rather than the child's love for the game. Discussing personal experiences and observations, we highlight the shift from a time when young athletes played more independently to the current landscape where children often face burnout from external pressures. The conversation touches on the mental and emotional hurdles young athletes encounter, exacerbated by parental involvement and social media influences, and stresses the importance of allowing children to develop their skills and passion independently. (15:43) Mental Game in Junior Golf This chapter explores the misconceptions around perfectionism in golf, particularly for young players and their parents. I share an anecdote about an eighth-grade golfer and his parents, who have a skewed perspective due to watching highlight reels on TV, thinking professional golfers like Tiger Woods never make mistakes. By showing them PGA Tour bloopers, I challenge this perception, highlighting the reality that even top golfers miss shots. We discuss how parents, especially those unfamiliar with golf, may place unrealistic expectations on their children, drawing parallels with other sports like baseball, where failure is more accepted. I also touch on strategies for improving golf performance, referencing Joe's book "Real Golf." A key method is the self-scramble, where players hit multiple shots and choose the best one, fostering self-coaching and adaptability, essential skills in golf due to its nature of constant adjustments. (27:39) Visualization Training for Golf Performance This chapter explores the transformative power of an app designed to enhance golfers' performance by focusing on mental conditioning and visualization techniques. We discuss the importance of helping both parents and young golfers navigate the pressures of the sport, while also highlighting the app's benefits for adult players like John.

Jeff's insights on reducing pressure and fostering positivity through strategies like not keeping score but counting good shots are emphasized. A success story is shared about a young golfer who, through the app's training modules and recordings, significantly improved his ability to visualize and recall details from his games, impressing even his mother with his progress. (32:25) Mastering Mental Performance in Golf This chapter focuses on the power of visualization in enhancing golf performance and overall human potential. We explore the concept of "pre-living," which goes beyond traditional visualization by incorporating all senses and emotions to vividly imagine and rehearse future actions. Jeff Smith, a top 100 golf instructor, and Joe Bosco, a mental performance expert, discuss how this technique can help golfers of all levels by fostering a positive mindset and focusing on constructive thoughts. We also introduce Joe Bosco's newly launched app, Real Mental Golf, available in the Apple Store, which offers tools and content to support mental training for golf and life. Through engaging community features and resources, users can strengthen their focus and concentration, overcoming negative spirals to enhance performance on and off the golf course. (37:48) Mindset Mastery in Golf Coaching This chapter focuses on the significance of mental coaching in golf and how leveraging positive thoughts can enhance performance. We explore the idea of "give credit and steal shamelessly," emphasizing the value of being a transmitter of good ideas to foster personal growth and enjoyment in the game. Highlighting contributions from renowned mental coaches like Dr. Bob Rotella and Brett McCabe, the discussion underscores the importance of mindset in both individual and competitive play. By focusing on positive outcomes, such as counting good shots, golfers can shift their mindset to improve performance and enjoy the game more. A personal anecdote about helping a young player overcome the pressures of competitive golf illustrates how the right mental approach can transform one's experience. (43:05) Fascination in Golf Mindset Training This chapter focuses on cultivating a positive mindset on the golf course by encouraging players to embrace every shot, whether good or bad, with the phrase "Isn't that fascinating?" We explore how holding one's finish and maintaining balance while acknowledging the result can help take the pressure off, turning the game into an enjoyable learning experience. I share insights from working with corporate groups, where introducing this perspective leads to laughter and relaxation, even among CEOs. By reminding ourselves that golf is a game meant for fun and learning, we can enhance our performance without being bogged down by unrealistic expectations. This approach allows us to learn more effectively by focusing on enjoyment rather than self-criticism.

(00:01) Golf Tip This chapter is all about enhancing your putting game on the golf course. We discuss a fun and simple betting game to add pressure to your putting, where one putts earn you money from your friends, and three putts cost you. The beauty of putting is that anyone, regardless of age or strength, can excel. We explore how even a six-year-old or an 88-year-old could be a world-class putter. We also touch on some creative ways to line up your putts better, like using a marked 50-cent piece to improve your aim. This chapter offers tips to make your putting practice more engaging and effective, making sure that each putt counts not just for your score, but also for a bit of friendly competition. (14:25) Reading Slope for Accurate Putting This chapter takes us into the world of golf, specifically focusing on the science and strategy behind reading the greens for putting. We explore the Aimpoint system, developed by Mark Sweeney, which helps golfers accurately predict the path of their ball using tools like digital levels to measure slope percentage. The process involves feeling the slope with one's feet and making calculations to determine the best path to the hole, similar to how TV broadcasts superimpose predicted ball paths during tournaments. By teaching this method, I share how quickly and effectively golfers can assess a putt, enhancing accuracy and confidence. With insights into the practical steps and the importance of reading specific points where the ball's speed and tilt are crucial, I highlight the efficiency and precision that the Aimpoint Express offers to golfers. (19:53) Advanced Putting Techniques and Instruction This chapter explores the nuances of mastering golf techniques with Jeff Smith, particularly focusing on understanding the slope on the green using a level. We touch on the learning curve associated with this process, revealing that with practice, one can get a grasp of it within just half an hour, comparable to playing two holes of golf. The chapter highlights that while the technique requires in-person learning, it's specifically taught to members of the clubs where Jeff teaches. We humorously discuss the importance of fees in America, even for sharing knowledge with a radio co-host. Lastly, we reflect on the joy of playing golf in Indiana during pleasant weather, underscoring the bustling activity at golf courses in May. (23:48) Mastering Putting Confidence and Techniques This chapter focuses on the often overlooked yet crucial aspect of golf: putting. We discuss how many golfers tend to neglect putting practice, focusing instead on the more visually dynamic aspects of the game like driving and iron shots. However, putting accounts for a significant portion of the game, and mastering it can drastically improve performance. I share a technique that involves practicing putting to the fringe rather than a hole, which helps players concentrate on distance control without the pressure of missing a hole. This method boosts confidence, leading to better performance in other areas of the game, such as chipping and iron shots. We also highlight the importance of incorporating pressure into practice by introducing friendly competition among playing partners, encouraging players to focus more on their putts. Lastly, we emphasize the need for taking adequate time to read greens and set up putts properly, rather than rushing through the process. (35:09) Building Confidence Through Putting Practice This chapter focuses on improving your putting skills by honing in on the essential elements: green reading, speed control, and the ability to start your ball on the intended line. We explore a practical exercise using golf tees to create a triangle, which helps build confidence in your stroke mechanics by providing immediate feedback. The importance of aiming and proper setup is emphasized, with tips on picking an aiming point closer to the ball for better accuracy. The discussion also highlights the significance of using a properly fitted putter to enhance consistency and reduce scores. By working on mechanics, aim, green reading, and speed control, you build confidence in your putting game, leading to better performance on the course. (43:37) Practice for Improved Golf Performance This chapter explores the significance of practice and repetition in mastering new skills, as illustrated by the ability to confidently pronounce complex names over time. We share insights into how repetition leads to ease and comfort in tasks that once seemed challenging, and we touch on personal growth as exemplified by overcoming the struggle of saying "John Iverson III" fluently. Furthermore, we highlight how incorporating just a few techniques, as suggested by Jeff, can dramatically improve one's golf game, suggesting that even small, consistent efforts can yield substantial results. This discussion serves as a motivational guide, emphasizing that through practice, one can enhance performance and gain confidence, potentially seeing marked improvements in as little as one golf outing.
