Should Sorare managers focus on entering as many lineups as possible, or concentrate on building fewer but higher-quality lineups?

Jennifer Laird, Assistant Professor in Lehman College's Department of Sociology talks with Richard Relkin, Assistant Vice President for Communications and Marketing at Lehman, about Jennifer's book which she co-authored with Columbia University's Diana Hernandez. Powerless: The People's Struggle for Energy was published in April 2025 by the Russel Sage Foundation. Visit IndoorVoicesPodcast.com for more info.

It's Friday, so let's hang out, relax, and talk Sorare heading into the weekend. I'll go over my lineups, the big competitions, and whatever else comes up in chat. Grab a drink, enjoy the vibes, and let's talk Sorare.

On this episode of SorareAndrews, we dig into the ideas around Sorare that sound great on the surface… but don't actually work out in practice. From lineup strategies to collection goals, we'll break down why some “good” ideas can end up hurting your long-term success.

Comic Book Creator and LEGEND!  (Recorded live at Tucson Comic Con Sunday, August 31, 2025) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Crow, Heavy Metal Magazine Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children's books, and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, creating his own characters and comics became an obsession. Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children's books, and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, creating his own characters and comics became an obsession. In the late 70's and early 80's, self-published “Mini Comics” became a main artistic outlet, and while soliciting illustration work from local fanzines in Northampton Massachusetts, he met like-minded creator Peter Laird and the partnership studio, Mirage Studios was formed. Less than a year later in the middle of a late-night drawing session, Eastman doodled a new character he dubbed a “Ninja Turtle” to make Laird laugh—several sillier sketches and a final drawing of four characters later “Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” had officially entered the universe! Self-published in May of 1984 the first issue sold out of its 3000 copies overnight and quickly became a fan favorite. Catching the eye of Merchandising Agents and Hollywood Producers, Eastman and Laird maintained full control of their creations while guiding them through Toy Licensing, TV Series adaptation, as well as Feature Films, and by early 1990 the TMNT's were number one in all three categories. In between TMNT projects, Eastman launched a creator friendly publishing company, “Tundra Publishing” where projects like “The Crow” “From Hell” “Madman” and “Understanding Comics” first flourished, as well as purchased and published the world renowned “Heavy Metal Magazine” for more than twenty-five years. In 2020 based on an original 1987 concept by Kevin and Peter, Kevin adapted and launched The Last Ronin with longtime TMNT Writer/Co-Writer Tom Waltz. The epic tale quickly became the TMNT publishing event of the decade, both a critical success, and a New York Times Best Seller. The series continued with The Last Ronin: Lost Years in 2023 and 2024The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution. When not having way too much fun writing and drawing on new TMNT projects, he launched a new maxiseries with Image Comics entitled, Drawing Blood as well as companion limited series the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls, with co-creator David Avallone, and artists Ben Bishop and Troy Little.   Thanks to “THE BEST FANS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!” according to Eastman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue to find their way into the hearts and imaginations of kids, large and small more than four decades later. Cowabunga! In 2025 Kevin, his wife Courtney and Team Eastman will be visiting comic conventions and signings around the world, ensuring they are always accessible and able to connect with fans as we all continue to Shellebrate the awesome legacy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I'm starting a brand new Sorare challenge that I've never tried before. The rules are simple, but the big question is: can I actually compete this way?In this video, I'll explain the challenge, show the cards I've already bought, and talk through my strategy for building lineups that can (hopefully) win rewards.

In this episode of SorareAndrews, Andrew Laird and Black dive into the age-old Sorare question: how many lineups are enough each gameweek? Do we already have too many? Or should we be entering even more? We'll break down how we approach lineup building, the balance between quality and quantity, and whether stacking more teams really leads to better results.Join us as we share our strategies, challenges, and personal experiences playing Sorare — and let us know in the comments how many lineups you think is the sweet spot!

I've saved up 48,000 essence on Sorare and it's time to put it to work!In this live stream with Harry Trades, we'll craft cards, break down the best strategies for using essence and clues, and discuss whether now is the right time to spend or save.Get started on Sorare today (please note that I will also benefit from you using the link): https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZ

Luckily this week Capricorn made it out fairly unscathed, other than that whole accidental bear mauling thing. That's just LIFE, man.After the recap we jump into the third episode of the final season of Lower Decks, where Mariner does her level best to avoid an emotional conversation at all costs, and Boimler runs headfirst into danger.

This episode originally broadcast on August 21, 2025.

(Except for when we watched Mayor of Kingstown season three the same month it was released. Or Love Death and Robots the same week it came out. We're bad at TV except when we're not. Don't try to logic the bit. Shoo.)Massive great big spoiler warnings of course, because we can't talk about the final episode without going over every bit that kicked us right in the heart and surprised the hell out of us. Seriously, we had our guesses where things were going to go and we were wrong every time and we loved every bit of it. (Except Alex. Could you just PICK A SIDE. ALEX.)After that we touched briefly on the Hugo Award winners, most of which were also a surprise, including Star Trek: Lower Decks getting best Graphic Story AND best Dramatic Short Form. (Listen in for Elizabeth trying to correct Kathryn that of COURSE she got that wrong because they didn't get both OH NO WAIT THEY DID.)And then of course we've gotta tangent some tangents, and discuss the upcoming season of Mayor of Kingstown, and why it's probably good it's the last one, and how they darn well better give us some angst-ridden Mike because that's what we LIKE.This week's outro is a clip from Acoustic Blues Solo Guitar by Musinova.You can see Elizabeth's new Soundwave model on Instagram.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

The description of a mysterious festival in the desert made us nostalgic for Dead & Company shows, and the description of just how horribly, HORRIBLY the festival goes wrong made us nostalgic for when Fyre Festival was an entertaining dumpster fire, instead of…whatever that Fyre Festival 2 attempt was. (Come on, McFarland, if you're gonna fail then at least make it an interesting failure.)After that we've got the penultimate episode of Station Eleven, where we finally find out what happened to Jeevan after he disappeared from Kirsten's life.

First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don't know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

Sorare is based in Paris, and a huge portion of its managers are French — which means that if you want to win in Ligue 1 in-season competitions, you've got to beat the home crowd at their own game. In this live stream, I'll break down why I'm going in on Ligue 1 cards, the strategies I'm using to take on Sorare's French user base, and how I'm building lineups to go toe-to-toe with some of the toughest competition on the platform.

This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter venture down a sweeter path on The Bourbon Road podcast for a truly decadent and educational experience. They are joined by a very special guest, Nicole Patel, the founder and master chocolatier of the Austin-based Delysia Chocolatier. In a fascinating twist, Nicole reveals that her journey to becoming a chocolatier began after earning a master's degree in engineering. She discusses how her engineering mindset and a challenge to conquer the particular science of chocolate making—from tempering to managing temperature and humidity—led her to create her business. Throughout the episode, Nicole guides Jim and Todd through a blind tasting, pairing a variety of spirits with selections from her "History of Chocolate" tasting set without any advance knowledge of the whiskeys. She provides expert instruction on the proper way to experience the pairings: first tasting the bourbon, then letting a piece of chocolate melt on the tongue to appreciate its individual flavors, and finally, combining the two to see how they interact and transform one another. The result is an exploration of complementary and contrasting flavors that will inspire listeners to host their own tasting parties. The pairings on this episode include: Round 1: Jim's Blanton's Single Barrel, with its traditional caramel and baking spice notes, is paired with Delysia's Spiced Ganache truffle. Todd's seven-year Old Fitzgerald wheated bourbon, featuring cherry and honey notes, is matched with a Chipotle Orange truffle made with unique ruby chocolate. Round 2: Jim brings out a Weller 12 Year, noted for its cherry and oak profile, which he and Todd both pair with the complex Mexican Mole truffle, containing a blend of eight peppers and six spices. Todd also tastes his Old Grand-Dad Bottled-in-Bond, with its characteristic peanut note, against the spicy chocolate. Round 3: The hosts throw some curveballs. Jim pours a Michter's Barrel Strength Bourbon, featuring dark fruit and caramel notes, which Nicole pairs with the Apple Pie truffle. Todd selects a Laird's Apple Brandy, which is also expertly paired with the Apple Pie truffle, with its notes of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and tart green apple. Round 4: For the final tasting, Jim enjoys an Angel's Envy Cask Strength finished in tawny port barrels, bringing savory, dark grape notes. This is paired with the White Peach Balsamic white chocolate truffle. Todd concludes with a peaty Ardbeg Corryvreckan scotch, which Nicole matches with a simple yet elegant Smoked Cacao truffle, made with 85% bittersweet chocolate and salt smoked in a Texas barbecue pit. Join the roadies for an episode that proves there are no wrong answers in pairing, only delicious experiments. Learn about the anatomy of a truffle, the art of flavor creation, and why bourbon and chocolate are a match made in heaven.

#outlander #bloodofmyblood It is the year 1714, and Red Jacob - the Laird of the MacKenzie clan - has died without naming an heir. His eldest daughter, Ellen, would be the best candidate if she were not a woman. So the clans have gathered to determine which one of his sons, Colum or Douglas, will become Clan Chief. Meanwhile Ellen - who has avoided an arranged marriage with her father's blessing and protection - is now on display for all of the eligible men to vy for. One mysterious stranger catches her eye, but a complicated history between their families may stand in the way of happiness. Join us as we discuss the first episode of the Outlander prequel series, Blood of My Blood, with our friend and guest Dena from Drunk and Blerdy.

Looking for the secrets to sustainable success? Strength coach Jim Laird reveals why the strategies that made you successful might be secretly undermining your health and long-term performance.In this eye-opening conversation, Scott Ford and Jim Laird explore the delicate balance between achievement and wellbeing that eludes so many high performers. Laird draws a powerful parallel between financial resources and physical energy—both have limits that must be respected. "A lot of times people just think that their body is just this unlimited credit card that they can keep charging, and it's not," Laird explains.The discussion illuminates how many driven entrepreneurs and professionals use work and intense exercise as coping mechanisms for past trauma. This creates a dangerous cycle where the very traits that fuel success—relentless drive, ability to push through discomfort—eventually become limitations. Laird shares insights from decades of working with elite athletes and high-achieving professionals on breaking this pattern.What makes this episode particularly valuable is its practical approach. Rather than vague wellness advice, Laird offers three specific, science-backed practices anyone can implement: walking outside after meals (which manages blood sugar as effectively as medication while reducing stress), practicing present-moment awareness, and ensuring adequate protein at each meal. These simple interventions yield compound returns for both health and performance.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Laird explains how different body types require different approaches—"some people are monster trucks, some are Ferraris"—and how understanding your unique physiology allows you to work with your nature rather than against it. This personalized perspective is refreshingly different from one-size-fits-all health advice.Ready to stop the cycle of pushing until breakdown? Join us to discover how working with your body's natural rhythms can create sustainable success that doesn't come at the cost of your health, relationships, or quality of life.About our guest:Jim LairdHealth & Wellness CoachStillman Wellness405 Fifth Avenue South, Suite 200, Office #6Naples, FL 34102LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-laird-71a68531/Instagram: @gymlairdX: @jimlaird44Hear Past episodes of the Way2Wealth Podcast!https://theway2wealth.com Learn more about our Host, Scott Ford, Managing Director, Partner & Wealth Advisorhttps://www.carsonwealth.com/team-members/scott-ford/ Investment advisory services offered through CWM LLC, an SEC-registered investment advisor.

Lisa Laird is CIO at Mercy Investment Services in St. Louis. She has previously held senior strategist roles as well as other healthcare leadership roles, and currently holds a number of additional board roles. Our conversation starts with her dream to become a ballet dancer, and how this ultimately required a serious pivot, and we then hear about a series of financial services roles that ultimately culminated in her current CIO role for a religious institution. Having not had many guests with this connection on our podcast before it was interesting to dig into some of the unique characteristics of this type of role, which in Lisa's case includes a commitment to impactful investments. We discuss the definition of impact in this case, and how it is implemented and complementary to some of the charity and philanthropic work done by this institution. Finally we reflect on the importance of kindness and how it can be a touchstone through one's career and life. Thank you to GCM Grosvenor and Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. for sponsoring Series 3 of 2025. GCM Grosvenor is a global alternative asset management firm with a longstanding commitment to supporting small, emerging, and diverse investment managers.

Jonathan Booth, Chartered Financial Analyst and CPA accredited in business valuation, joins Discover Lafayette to share his remarkable journey from being a young boy of 11 years of age falling in love with stock investments to CEO and Managing Partner of Booth Laird Capital Management, a boutique investment firm based in Lafayette. “My uncle would buy me stock in McDonald's…that was my birthday and Christmas present every year from all the family members instead of toys.” Jonathan's early exposure to investing—paired with a deep appreciation for Warren Buffett's philosophy of buying undervalued companies with strong fundamentals—set the tone for a career defined by rigorous analysis and long-term strategy. He emphasizes patience and discipline, especially in volatile markets: "I loved it. My uncle and I would go over the earnings releases. By the time I was in high school, I was managing my own portfolio of stocks. When I was 19, he took me to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Warren Buffett's company. They call that the Woodstock for capitalists. It's a chance to listen to Warren Buffett talk for six hours. I didn't know what to expect, but you just sit there and listen to the Oracle of Omaha, as they call him, spew wisdom." A passionate and disciplined financial strategist, Jonathan also serves on the board of FlyGuys, the Lafayette-based drone data company in which Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame recently invested $3 million in a $13 million Series A-1 funding round and led the round; O'Leary's Wonder Fund investment will accelerate software innovation, expand global reach, and strengthen the commercial drone workforce. Quote from Kevin O'Leary on LinkedIn: "Big news. I recently led a $13 million Series A-1 round through the Wonder Fund North Dakota. The investment went into a company that's redefining how the physical world feeds the AI economy.Meet FlyGuys — a national network of over 16,000 FAA-certified drone pilots powering the capture and delivery of reality data at scale. From thermal roof scans to solar inspections, agriculture, and infrastructure, they handle it all. FlyGuys is the connective tissue between AI platforms and the physical world.I backed this team because their software is built to scale, their operations are rooted in service and precision, and their impact is real. AI platforms depend on clean, reliable inputs, and FlyGuys delivers exactly that. They're not just serving today's use cases, they're building global infrastructure for tomorrow's AI economy, while creating new income opportunities for drone pilots around the world. Data is the new oil. AI can't function without it. FlyGuys is building the pipeline." A native of Baton Rouge, and graduate of Catholic High and LSU, Jonathan originally pursued accounting. "I got a scholarship from the College of Business, and I chose accounting because I already did it. After my first semester, my professor hired me to work at his private accounting practice because I did pretty well in the class. And so I just kept getting pulled along into accounting and got my bachelor's and master's in accounting. Jonathan's performance earned him a rare honor: “I passed the CPA exam in 2006 with one of the ten highest scores in the world, known as the Elijah Watt Sells Award.” He also passed all three levels of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam (a minimum of three years of exams) on his first attempt. While working at Ernst & Young, Jonathan maintained his passion for investing, ultimately founding Booth Laird Capital Management. Alongside his partner Kevin Laird, Jonathan focuses on concentrated investment strategies, targeting exceptional businesses and waiting for undervaluation. “We call them compounding machines,” he explained. "The term 'hedge fund' scares a lot of people, but it's truly just the way the fund is structured. It allows us the ability and freedom to invest more as we see fit.

Margaret Laird's life was extraordinary in so many ways. She was born in 1897 in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in a large family, went to college and became a dental radiologist. Though a church goer all her life, it was in college that Margaret first heard the Gospel and received Jesus as her Lord. Put off at first by the idea of leaving America as a missionary, she was nevertheless compelled to yield her whole life to whatever plans God had for her. Yielding to God became the slogan of her life. She went to the Central Republic of Africa in 1924 and spent the next forty years ministering, loving, and sharing the Gospel with the Banda people.
