Paula Findlay wins Ironman Lake Placid on her very first full distance triathlon attempt. Setting the bike course record, ringing the first-timer's bell, and crossing the tape after one of the most composed performances of the year. Nick and Eric were both on course for the day, and this week all three of us sit down to relive every moment: the cold non-wetsuit swim chasing Chelsea Sodaro, the wind-whipped bike ride where Paula refused to let the gusts derail nine months of preparation, the broken flask on the run, running a 1:24 half marathon split before her quads staged a full revolt, talking herself through lonely miles of River Road, and what it actually felt like to turn into the Olympic oval.This week we discussed:Paula's full Ironman Lake Placid race recap: swim, bike, run, and every mental moment in betweenRacing without a wetsuit in cold windy weather — staying warm, not panicking off the bike, and why the cold nearly derailed the first 45 minutesRiding through 28mph gusts: how Paula stayed in her aerobars when everything in her said sit upThe Marta Sanchez dynamic: running together through the first half, trusting her experience, and slowly stretching the gapQuad cramping from mile 13 of the marathon and choosing to keep running anywayRinging the first-timer's bellThe med tent, the wheelchair, and what "empty" actually feels like after an IronmanHow Eric and Nick tracked splits all day: whiteboard shorthand, the Iron Man app, texts from people on course, and educated guessesWhat Paula discovered about herself: long activities are a mindset, not a personality typeThe timing chip chafe solution that actually worked (and the neck chafe that still didn't)TTL team finished 4th in the team competition — in their first year150 people at the Lake Placid donut run and the volunteer team who drove 45 minutes for donutsIs it better to race a new distance naive, or knowing what's coming?

I'm recording this episode a week early as I'm on vacation with my family up in Lake Placid, New York, a beautiful spot that we have been going to for close to 20 years. One of the nice things about going to a familiar place is all the constants that are there. Things like Mirror Lake, the Olympic Oval, the Ski Jump, the lovely High Peaks mountains. All of it is a nice reminder of past summers and current adventures. For some, this might all seem boring, but for me it is something that I know will be there, some kind of regulating force in a constantly changing world. But there are changes as well. It always is interesting, and a little depressing, to see what stores have closed and what new ones have replaced them. Such is the way with entrepreneurship: there are successes and, well, not so successes. I always admire people who take the initiative to start something new, and can imagine the dreams that are bound up into these ventures. When I go back to Lake Placid, it is easy to mourn those businesses that are no longer there, and be hopeful for those who are. Today's episode of Experience by Design is about the long-running story of entrepreneurship, together with the new unfolding story of AI. Demetri Papazissis hails from Greece, which has a long history of entrepreneurship (especially with immigrants who have spread around the world). He continues that legacy with the company Superbo, which is an enterprise-wide AI agent company. Superbo uses what it describes as “Four capability layers that provide enterprise data semantics, AI agent governance, runtime compliance controls, and operational oversight” to provide solutions for clients.  This conversation is about more than Superbo. It also is about the spirit of entrepreneurship in Demetri's life, especially focusing on agility and freedom in the entrepreneur's journey. However, he describes his own experiences as an entrepreneur as 80% negative and 20% positive. This leads to a broader conversation about whether people are being encouraged to be entrepreneurs when that lifestyle may not be right for them.  We talk about the impact of AI in terms of work, the economy, and society. We discuss the challenges of strategic adoption of technology, seeing ways that companies fail to implement because they don't have the strategy and support to succeed. He notes that successful AI implementation requires a partnership approach, involving not just technological guidance but also helping organizations address internal structural and relationship issues. He also talks about how he is self-taught at piano, leading to admission to the Berklee College of Music here in Boston. Being there taught him the value of creativity and thinking outside of the proverbial box. Overall, it was a great chat about risk-taking, creativity, changing times, constant themes, and also Demetri's great hair.  Demetri Papazissis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/demetripapazissis/ Superbo Website: https://superbo.ai/ Superbo Big Idea: https://www.businessage.com/post/my-big-idea-enterprise-ai-superbo

Send us Fan MailA 20K with nearly 8,000 feet of climbing shouldn't exist, and yet Whiteface Sky Race is about to make a whole field of strong runners question their life choices. Steve Taylor joins us from smoky Colorado Springs as we turn our full attention to Whiteface, the opener of the Merrill U.S. Skyrunner Circuit, and one of the steepest, most punishing race profiles you'll find in the United States. Two loops. A massive early climb that gains about 3,000 feet in 2.5 miles. Long stretches that flirt with 30% to 40% grade. No hiding from it.We talk through what that terrain demands, from steep hiking strength and leg durability to the psychology of being told to go do it all again for lap two. The Adirondacks and Lake Placid backdrop get their own moment too, because this region's rugged trails, wet technical footing, and big-mountain feel are exactly why this race belongs on a skyrunning calendar. If you're the kind of trail runner who loves “kick you in the teeth” courses, Whiteface is the blueprint.Then we get tactical: Morgan Elliott's form and résumé, who might hang on early, and the under-the-radar names that could surprise when the grade turns brutal. On the women's side we spotlight Robin Vierre-Brower, dig into challengers, and talk winning-time expectations. We also look ahead to the season stakes and the Kismet Cliff Run final on September 13 in North Conway, New Hampshire. Subscribe, share this with your mountain running crew, and leave a review.

This week on Next on the Tee, three champions join me to share stories that go far beyond sports. Legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg, 1984 NCAA Champion John Inman, and Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton open up about overcoming adversity, leadership, perseverance, and the lessons they've learned at the highest levels of competition. Leigh Steinberg takes us inside his remarkable journey from representing some of the biggest names in sports to battling alcoholism, losing everything, and fighting his way back. We discuss his inspiring new book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life's Setbacks Into Victories, the heartfelt foreword written by Troy Aikman, the importance of giving back, the changing landscape of college athletics, NIL, sports gambling, and what true success really means. John Inman returns to share his thoughtful perspective on today's college sports environment, whether NIL has shifted the balance too far toward athletes, the growing influence of gambling across sports, and why fan behavior is becoming a concern in professional golf. He also reflects on his unforgettable years at the University of North Carolina during one of the greatest championship eras in college athletics. Then, Olympic legend Scott Hamilton joins me for one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had. Scott looks back on carrying the American flag during the 1980 Winter Olympics, shares behind-the-scenes stories from Lake Placid and his friendship with legendary skier Ingemar Stenmark, discusses covering his 10th Winter Olympics for NBC, and explains why one simple message has become his philosophy for living a joyful life: our possessions are just "garbage"—it's our relationships, experiences, and gratitude that truly matter. Whether you're passionate about golf, sports, leadership, personal growth, or simply need a reminder that setbacks don't define your future, this episode delivers unforgettable stories, practical wisdom, and a healthy dose of Vitamin G—gratitude. #GolfPodcast #Golf #GolfLife #GolfTips #GolfInstruction #GolfCommunity #Golfers #PGA #PGATour #GolfLegends #GolfHistory #MentalGame #SportsPodcast #Podcast #Leadership #Resilience #Comeback #NeverGiveUp #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #Inspiration #SuccessMindset #LeighSteinberg #ScottHamilton #JohnInman #TroyAikman #Olympics #OlympicChampion #FigureSkating #CollegeSports #NIL #SportsBusiness #SportsLeadership #SportsAgent #SportsGambling #NorthCarolinaGolf #ChampionMindset #PeakPerformance #WinningMindset #VitaminG #Gratitude #NextOnTheTee

After battling injuries, mental hurdles, and the relentless pursuit of excellence, she shares how her approach to racing—and her life—has shifted from seeking wins to embracing growth, balance, and longevity. Her story is a powerful reminder that the true victory in triathlon is understanding yourself enough to keep going, even when the race gets tough.In this episode, Paula opens up about her recent injuries—glute tears, knee issues, and the wisdom she's gained from managing setbacks—highlighting her shift towards a smarter, more sustainable training mindset. You'll discover how her focus on consistent running, strategic race selection, and mental fortitude has kept her competitive for over 20 years. We break down her experience training for her first Ironman at Lake Placid, what makes the Placid course unique, and the importance of problem-solving and adaptability on race day. Paula also shares her thoughts on the increasing caliber of female competition, the myths about the "fittest" athlete winning, and why mental resilience often trumps raw speed in the sport's most grueling moments. She discusses her motivation for tackling Ironman distances despite a busy life—balancing family, podcasting, and sponsorships—and how her broader perspective helps her keep the fire alive. Whether you're an aspiring pro or a seasoned athlete, Paula's insights into longevity, recovery, and mental toughness offer invaluable lessons for navigating the sport's demands without sacrificing your love for the race.This candid conversation provides a behind-the-scenes look at an athlete who continuously redefines what it means to compete at the highest level—proof that success isn't just about results, but about resilience and evolving with the sport. Perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of sustainable training, mental resilience, and staying motivated through the years.

Frodo the cat serves as the ultimate horror witness in A Quiet Place: Day One (with Lupita Nyong’o) Crypticon Seattle, the great Pacific Northwest horror convention, has once again come and gone, but the memories linger. The panels are what make the convention feel like a class reunion. The panels are produced entirely by volunteer experts from across the region and are the ultimate in fan interaction. This is what it feels like to create a horror community, sharing our ideas and experiences with each other. This year, I decided to record some of the panels I participated in and attended to give you a sense of what happens at these events. This Pets in Horror panel was hosted by Brien Gorham, and I participated in it along with Kathy Fennesy and Todd Johnstson. If you are a long-time reader of our website or a listener of our podcast, you will know that I have a big ol’ soft spot for pets in horror. Whether they are the MacGuffins, the heroes, or the villains of the story, pets provide strong emotional connective tissue within horror constructs. The use of pets also sparks some great debates regarding the narrative use of animals. Because we have such a natural affinity for critters, horror movies tend to exploit those feelings by putting the animals in peril. Fair, or not? We will talk about that in this discussion. Brien was inspired by the success of last year’s remarkable film Good Boy which we have been a huge proponent for. You can use that link to listen to an interview with director Ben Leonberg, who discusses how he coaxed an award-winning performance from his pet dog, Indy. That movie, however, is just the tip of a very big trope iceberg. Thank you to Jason and Jasen for putting me on this panel, as it is something near and dear to me, and to many attending Crypticon. Brien Gorham outlined his panel discussion topics for this panel: “Indy the Dog from Good Boy has become the latest in a line of cinematic pets to steal our hearts, but domestic animals have a long history in horror movies. Whether that be as a witness, antagonist, or, as in the case of Indy, a protagonist. Let’s discuss how our collective best friends have been represented in horror films.” Introductions Opening question: If you could choose one pet from a horror movie to have in your home, who would you choose and why? Some larger questions that can be applied to any category: How do our personal relationships with pets affect how we see them in stories? (Please feel free to include personal stories where appropriate) How does the motivation of a pet differ from human motivation? Altruism? How do we recognize animal performances? (Indy's acting win) What resources are available for those who are sensitive to animal violence?  Part 1: Pets as Witnesses Possible Movies: Cat's Eye, Poltergeist, The Hills Have Eyes I and II Let's start with movies where a family pet serves as a witness or bystander to an individual or family crisis. In these cases, what purpose does the inclusion of the pet serve? How much do we hate it when pets are introduced just to be killed off for sympathy? Part 2: Pets as Heroes Possible Movies: Good Boy, Cat's Eye, Phenomena, The Hills Have Eyes Next, let's explore pets that go above and beyond, playing an active role in saving the day. Which movie pets do you most admire? How do certain traits of specific animals play into this heroism? How much do we hate it when animals sacrifice themselves for humans? Part 3: Pets as Antagonists  Possible Movies: Cujo, Lake Placid, The Uncanny, Uninvited, Pet Sematary, The Black Cat (any version) What happens when man's best friend turns violent, and our furry friends rebel against us? The most terrifying pets in horror? The most heartbreaking transformations? Closing What beloved pets have we not seen represented in horror movies? PET HORROR RESOURCES You can check out our Favorite Horror Movie Dogs Dead List for our updated list of horror hounds for your reference. Kathy Fennessy is a former president of the Seattle Film Critics Society and runs the Seattle Film Blog. She has a blog post titled “Good Boy and Other House Pets in Horror: Purrs, barks, Growls, and Deadly Attacks.“ I find that Kathy is the unofficial research librarian for Crypticon Seattle and has a deep and thorough knowledge of the genre. For those of you who get triggered by animal harm or death in movies, please visit “Does the Dog Die?“ It’s a great resource for people who need to filter their movies for moments that will trigger anxiety, with the primary trope being that of harm to dogs. It also covers things like harm to children and rape, which are non-starter elements for many people. A Recording of Brien Gohram’s Good Boy: Pets in Horror Panel Panelists:Brien Gorham – HostKathy Fennesy Eric LiTodd Johnston Please note: I was using a compressor microphone on the table, so the audio isn’t as clean as it would be with our dynamic podcasting microphones. Todd Johnston, in particular, is a bit faint, though I did boost the audio when he is speaking.

Iranian state television has broadcast a message in the name of the newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The message was read by an announcer and gave no clue as to the state of the leader's health. Some reports say he was injured on the first day of US and Israeli attacks. In the message, he said Iran would avenge the blood of its martyrs, and continue to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which one fifth of the world's oil passes. We hear from people in Iran, many of whom say they are now living in constant fear.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 62: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In case you somehow missed it, Kash Patel's enablers at the FBI (Fan Boys International) were busily denying he went to Italy for the Olympics just to see the hockey game and jock-sniff the victorious U.S. team when all sorts of video leaked out of the dressing room showing him doing exactly that - dancing, drinking, cringing. And then Patel himself couldn't resist Supposedly we sent 100 agents to help with security and he just had to be there. Guesstimated cost just for his latest stage of his perpetual vacation on our dime? $400,000. It would be bad - a future administration will probably address it as misappropriation of funds. But what makes it worse is there's a piece by Patel from 2022 complaining about previous FBI directors wasting money on vacation, and a clip about his FBI predecessor Christopher Wray's vacation travel. Simply impeaching him is insufficient. He needs to go to prison. NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD DO THAT; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR TRUMP TEACHES: Trump is a thief and he owes you and me at least 293 billion dollars - and we want it back. The worst thief in American history - and 270 billion of that is in tariffs. Because on tariffs, the Supreme Court has given him his COMEUPPANCE. Well – it’s given him A comeuppance. Because his new argument for the new REPLACEMENT Monday tariffs was his old argument AGAINST overturning the old Friday tariffs. But the key thing the Court actually did was give his cult a mortal shock. It is the first official body to give the Trump-Town Guyana Death Cult the message: that he is making this crap up, as he goes ALONG. -- Plus: an actual good idea from Boris Johnson: to send peacekeepers to Ukraine – NOW. And I’M the guy who thinks the Hockey Gold Medal is a BAD THING. And no, the John Barron who called into C-SPAN wasn’t Trump – he was too coherent.

C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Baseball has already started so time for my annual explanation: why I don't work for baseball's TV network even though they offered me my own show and I accepted it.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 56: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In destroying The Washington Post yesterday, Trump-fluffer Jeff Bezos has gone far enough. Democratic leaders must commit to using anti-trust laws to destroy Amazon, Prime, Blue Origin - and Bezos, financially. Every would-be president, senator, representative must vow to break the oligarchs - Bezos, Musk, Trump, and all the rest. Bezos first hollowed out the Post to make it servile to Trump and his gang. Now he's destroyed its foreign and sports desks, and its viability as a counterweight to the anti-democracy forces abroad in the land. All so he could spend $75,000,000 or more on a vanity project designed to tell Trump a life: that his wife is an attractive "movie star." We are not going back to the America of 1885. We must bankrupt Jeff Bezos. (And I apologize for the slipshod nature of this episode. I'm under the weather, throat bad, was planning to postpone this episode but this could not wait.
