In August of 1914, the United States of America completed a man-made waterway through the Panamanian isthmus, linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for the first time in history. But that engineering triumph was the culmination of decades of toil, conflict and death. In this first episode of a multi-part series on the Panama Canal, we trace the origins of its construction, beginning with the doomed French attempt and its tragic protagonist, Ferdinand de Lesseps.      SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

He takes a firm stance, stating he cannot support the team if Tisch is not forced out, sparking a deep debate on the morality of sports ownership. The "Bald Vanity" Rant: In a lighter but equally passionate moment, Rooster "punches" male athlete vanity, specifically mocking LeBron James and Jalen Brown for using hair polish and a boxer whose toupee flew off mid-fight.

The Outdoor Hockey Hype: Milk celebrates the success of the Stadium Series in Tampa, describing the "phenomenal" scene of outdoor hockey in 38-degree Florida weather.

KeywordsCrisis Communication · Leadership · Empathy · Clarity · Trust · Communication Principles · Leadership Mistakes · Ted Lasso · Risk Management · Community EngagementSummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with Benjamin Morgan, Senior Fellow in Crisis Communications, to unpack what really matters when the pressure is on.Drawing from decades of experience supporting leaders through high-stakes moments, Benjamin challenges the instinct to “get the message right” before getting the people right. Together, the trio explore why empathy, clarity, and repetition aren't soft skills in a crisis—they're survival skills.From common leadership missteps (including the temptation to clam up) to the long-term value of trust and relationship-building, this conversation reframes crisis communication as a deeply human practice. Along the way, Benjamin and the hosts even pull lessons from popular culture—yes, including Ted Lasso—to remind us that authenticity and care often matter more than perfect phrasing.Whether you're leading a school, an organization, or a community, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating uncertainty with calm, credibility, and compassion.Take AwaysCrisis communication starts with understanding how stressed your audience already is.Empathy and clarity beat polish and perfection every time.Repetition isn't annoying—it's necessary for understanding under pressure.One of the biggest leadership mistakes in a crisis is going silent.Trust is built long before a crisis—and spent during one.Authenticity matters more than sounding “official.”Crisis moments are both threats and opportunities for leadership.Emotional context shapes how messages are received.Positive communication deposits help cushion difficult conversations.Strong leadership puts people first, message second.Navigating Crisis CommunicationEmpathy in Leadership: When the Pressure Is OnChapters00:00 – Introduction to Crisis Communications03:22 – Crisis vs. Risk Communication: What's the Difference?07:59 – Core Principles for Communicating Under Pressure11:58 – Navigating Ambiguity When Answers Aren't Clear17:09 – Common Crisis Communication Mistakes Leaders Make21:36 – Choosing the Right Voice in a Crisis25:34 – Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso

Esta semana en El Garaje de Cupertino vienen curvas (y de las buenas): se habla del iPhone 17e que, según comentan, aterriza el 19 de febrero con chip A19, módem propio C1X, chip N1 (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread) y el “por fin” que muchos esperaban: MagSafe… aunque siga con notch y una sola cámara. ¿La gran pregunta? Si de verdad es el iPhone “sensato” para quien quiere algo nuevo sin dejarse un riñón.Pero el episodio no se queda ahí: hay repaso de Apple TV+ y su “lluvia de estrellas” para 2026, con titulares como el regreso de Ted Lasso (temporada 4), la vuelta de Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (27 de febrero) y más estrenos con fechas apuntadas en rojo.En clave práctica, aviso importante para domótica: mañana, 10 de febrero, es la fecha límite para actualizar la app Casa/HomeKit, y quien no lo haga “puede perder acceso” a accesorios y automatizaciones. Si tienes bombillas, enchufes o termostatos conectados… hoy es el día de revisarlo.Y, como no podía faltar, se entra a fondo en el elefante del salón: Apple Intelligence, Siri y la IA agéntica. Desde lo que dejó caer Tim Cook (“la IA habilitará nuevas categorías de productos y servicios”) hasta la expectativa por la beta de iOS 26.4 (semana del 23 de febrero), donde se rumorea esa “Siri contextual” capaz de entender lenguaje natural y ejecutar acciones de verdad (rollo “agente” que orquesta herramientas), con comparaciones y debate sobre el salto que Apple necesita dar para no llegar tarde.Todo ello con el sello del Garaje: bromas, off-topics (sí, también sale San Valentín y la idea de regalos tech), y esa mezcla de hype + escepticismo que convierte cada rumor en conversación de bar… pero con mucho Apple encima de la mesa.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

Everyone wants custom marketing until the numbers stop making sense. When preference beats performance, something always gives.The real question isn't creativity vs. control, it's predictability vs. ego.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the podcast built to cut through the noise around gym growth. Each conversation breaks marketing, sales, and leadership into practical systems boutique gyms can apply without relying on luck, burnout, or outdated playbooks.Episode HighlightsPredictable results don't come from personal preference; they come from proof. This breakdown focuses on why tested systems outperform custom ideas, how data removes guesswork from marketing decisions, and where flexibility actually belongs. It also clarifies what strong partnerships look like when both sides care more about outcomes than opinions.Episode OutlineWhy generating a specific ROI matters more than creative preferences.What gym owners actually want from a long-term marketing partner.A real-world case study of a gym owner who outgrew short-term agencies.How high-volume testing creates faster, clearer marketing insights.The trade-offs between custom creative and proven marketing systems.Why predictable outcomes require data-backed offers, copy, and assets.How agencies balance flexibility without sacrificing performance.The role of accountability in data-driven marketing decisions.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:07 Strategic Marketing Partnership for Gym Owners02:41 The Role of Lasso as a Marketing Agency03:21 Challenges with Personalization and Customization07:29 The Importance of Data-Driven Decisions12:23 The Role of Lasso in Guiding ClientsAction TakenClearly communicate ROI expectations and the risks of testing unproven creative.Confirm whether clients are willing to accept lower performance for preference-based decisions.Implement offers, copy, and ad assets backed by large-scale testing.Match marketing strategies to each gym's business model.Allow creative testing only when ad budgets support experimentation.Keep proven campaigns running to protect performance while testing.ConclusionThe real takeaway here is simple: marketing works best when decisions are earned, not assumed. Creativity still matters, but only when it's supported by evidence. When gyms and agencies align on expectations, trust the data, and stay disciplined with what's proven, clarity replaces confusion, and results become easier to repeat.CTAIf this conversation resonated, follow Gym Marketing Made Simple and share the episode with a gym owner who's questioning whether their marketing is actually working.Supporting Information

Keywordsleadership, empathy, mattering, significance, education, workplace culture, gratitude, belonging, engagement, coachingSummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, hosts Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with Dr. Zach Mercurio to explore the essential human need to matter. Together, they unpack why significance is a primal driver for people, the difference between belonging and mattering, and how leaders can create cultures where individuals feel valued and essential. Dr. Mercurio shares practical strategies for addressing the “mattering deficit” in schools and organizations, illustrating how small, intentional acts of gratitude and recognition can transform engagement, performance, and well-being. Through stories and insights, the conversation highlights how leaders can build environments where people not only belong, but truly matter.TakeawaysMattering is a primal survival instinct—being important to someone else.People must feel valued in order to add value.Mattering and belonging are distinct: belonging is inclusion, mattering is significance.The mattering deficit is a pressing challenge in organizations today.Simple, specific interactions can foster mattering.Gratitude is most powerful when concrete and personal.Care must be felt before people can care about their work.Leaders can intentionally cultivate mattering through daily interpersonal skills.Helping people see their unique contributions boosts engagement.Cultures of mattering drive stronger performance and healthier workplaces.TitlesThe Heart of Empathy in LeadershipUnlocking the Power of MatteringSound Bites“Gratitude is a skill and an art.”“You can't unsee the mattering deficit.”“Keep leading the Lasso way.”Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Mattering in Leadership05:43 – The Importance of Feeling Valued08:12 – Mattering vs. Belonging: A Deeper Dive11:03 – Mattering as an Actionable Concept15:25 – Strategies to Combat the Mattering Deficit19:58 – The Power of Gratitude in Leadership24:19 – Seeing the Unseen: The Impact of Mattering29:01 – Real-Life Applications: The Hockey Team Story

In this episode of Between Product and Partnerships, Cristina Flaschen speaks with Mike Gelber, Chief Product Officer at Impiricus, about his career path and the experiences that shaped his approach to product leadership in healthcare. Mike's background spans finance, ad tech, and healthcare, and his move into product reflects a steady pull toward roles that combine technical depth with proximity to real users. Throughout the conversation, he shares how those experiences influenced the way he approaches product decisions, partnerships, and growth in a regulated environment.From Finance to Product ThinkingMike began his career at JP Morgan, where he quickly gravitated toward building tools that made work more efficient. Teaching himself to automate tasks introduced him to software development and revealed the leverage technology could provide. That curiosity led him into ad tech, where working closely with customers helped him connect system design with real usage. Over time, product became the natural intersection between building technology and understanding how people actually work.Why Founding a Company Accelerated His GrowthStarting a company brought Mike closer to customers and everyday decision-making. Choices carried immediate consequences, which sharpened his sense of focus and sequencing. The experience also exposed him to areas of the business that are often distant from product roles, shaping a broader understanding of how products are built, sold, and sustained over time.Lessons from Building and Exiting LassoMike reflects on building Lasso and guiding it through growth before its acquisition by IQVIA. A defining lesson from that journey was the importance of validating demand early. Proving value through direct execution helped guide product direction and informed how he now thinks about product-market fit. That experience reinforced the importance of grounding decisions in real usage rather than assumptions.Joining ImpiricusAfter the acquisition, Mike joined Impiricus as Chief Product Officer. He initially questioned whether SMS could be an effective channel in healthcare. Spending time with the product in real-world settings changed that perspective, particularly as he observed how clinicians interacted with it during day-to-day work. Those experiences helped clarify the product's role in supporting healthcare providers.Defining Success in Healthcare ProductMike describes success at Impiricus through outcomes and experience. Pharmaceutical partners measure impact through prescribing behavior, while healthcare providers encounter fewer barriers when supporting patients. The most meaningful signals come from moments where the product quietly fits into existing workflows and reduces friction without drawing attention to itself.Timing, Integration, and RelevanceThe conversation returns often to timing. Mike explains how Impiricus uses data and integrations to engage healthcare providers when support is most relevant. This approach allows the product to fit naturally into clinical workflows, which is critical in environments where attention is limited.Looking AheadMike shares what's next for Impiricus, including the launch of a new product called Ascend and continued momentum following recognition on Deloitte's Fast 500 list. As the company grows, the focus remains on staying close to healthcare providers and maintaining the product principles that shaped its early success. Cristina closes the episode by reflecting on how Mike's journey illustrates how product leadership evolves inside regulated industries.

Something isn't adding up in most gyms because the real problem isn't the lack of leads. It's what happens after someone walks through the door. Revenue stalls. Growth flatlines. And owners think the answer is to “just run ads.”But what if the biggest leak is coming from the inside?Welcome to the Gym Marketing Made Simple Podcast, the place where real strategies replace guesswork. Blake Ruff and the team break down what actually moves the needle for boutique gyms trying to grow consistently and predictably.Episode HighlightsThis episode breaks down why so many gyms hit a revenue ceiling long before running paid marketing. Blake explains how churn, slow sales systems, and inconsistent follow-up stall growth—no matter how many leads come in. You'll hear how dialing in these numbers can turn $18,000 months into $45,000 months and why paid marketing only works when the foundation is solid.Episode OutlineWhy most gyms get stuck at the “magic number” where churn cancels out client acquisition.The realistic churn range boutique gyms should aim for.Why a 70–80% close rate on organic leads signals strong systems.What happens when gyms try paid marketing too early.The difference between organic leads and paid leads—and why it matters.Industry benchmarks vs. Lasso client averages (77 leads → 12–15 new members).How optimizing onboarding and coaching shifts churn dramatically.A simple framework to identify where the real gaps are in growth.Examples of gyms scaling from $15k to $110k after fixing systems and then layering paid marketing.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:38 Identifying the Stagnation Point02:32 Understanding Churn and Sales Metrics04:46 The Role of Organic and Paid Marketing10:47 Addressing System and Process Improvements11:22 The Impact of Paid Marketing on Revenue GrowthAction TakenAnalyze churn rate and identify monthly patternsReview sales conversion rate to see where leads are dropping offAudit the current sales process from first touchpoint to closeStrengthen onboarding and coaching to reduce early cancellationsReach out to Lasso once churn and sales metrics are dialed in to explore paid marketingBuild a weekly process to track metrics and adjust quicklyConclusionGrowth starts long before a paid ad runs.

John talks about U.S District Judge Sarah Ellis ordering CBP honcho Greg Bovino to meet at her courthouse every day to report on immigration actions in greater Chicago. The ruling comes just a day after the Trump Administration quietly handed full control of immigration enforcement to CBP after ICE leadership fell short of deportation quotas. He also talks about the government shutdown. Dozens have states have sued the Trump Administration over the suspension of SNAP benefits which start on November 1st. Then, John speaks with Emmy winning journalist Dexter Thomas about his show - "Kill Switch" which is a tech podcast about living in the future today; a survival guide to modern culture; and a show that exposes the true systems listeners rely on daily - from AI and privacy, to the strange and absurd corners of the internet. Next, John interviews Renee Hopkins. She is CEO of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives, developing a safer Washington state and supporting the legislation to make that happen. In her six years at the Alliance she has led the organization to become the leading state-based gun violence prevention organization in the country; passing three ballot initiatives, electing a gun violence prevention majority in the state legislature, working with systems partners to develop best practice models for implementing gun laws, and passing state laws that put Washington state at the forefront of suicide prevention and domestic violence laws as they relate to firearms. Renee has experienced the scourge of gun violence first-hand including the tragic loss of her brother Arnie in a school shooting in 1996. The rounding it out, Comedy Daddy - Keith Price is back once again joking with John and talking common sense to the Evil Army of the Night.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most gym owners love referrals — but what happens when warm leads run out? The real challenge begins when it's time to win over cold traffic.Welcome to the Gym Marketing Made Simple podcast — built for boutique gym owners who want to consistently attract members and grow revenue without taking on the full-time job of being a marketer.Episode HighlightsThis episode breaks down the reality of marketing and sales in boutique gyms with Josh Martin. The team explores Lasso's proven system for lead generation, nurturing, and conversion — and why success depends on consistency, follow-up, and mindset. From handling rejection to understanding conversion rates, this conversation is all about following a proven process that works.Key TakeawaysLasso stands for Lead and Sales System Optimization, a structured approach to generating and converting leads.Warm leads often convert easily, but cold traffic requires patience and persistence.A realistic conversion rate from leads to sign-ups is 10–20% — and that's perfectly normal.Consistent follow-up and long-term nurturing are key to turning cold leads into paying members.The system works best when followed as designed — deviating from it reduces success rates.Having an open mind to change existing methods is essential for growth.The “fortune is in the follow-up” — success comes from consistency, not quick wins.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:10 Challenges of Cold Traffic vs. Warm Leads05:26 The Importance of Following the System09:11 Handling Lead Conversion and Rejection12:11 The Role of CRM and Long-Term Nurturing18:17 The Importance of Sales and Follow-Follow-Up19:48 Challenges of Cold Traffic and Emotional Reactions22:02 Common Mistakes and Misconceptions25:12 The Importance of Data and Proven MethodsCall to ActionIf this episode hits home, follow the podcast and share it with a fellow gym owner who's ready to grow the right way.

In this episode, I speak with Chris Carrano, Vice President of Strategic Research at Venn by Two Sigma.Chris has had a rare vantage point in the world of factors — spanning smart beta, long/short hedge funds, and risk modeling — and that experience has shaped a thoughtful view of what factors really are and how they can be practically used.We dive into the philosophy and design behind Venn: why it uses just 18 orthogonalized factors, how it blends Lasso and OLS to reduce overfitting, and why it prioritizes interpretability over complexity.We also tackle messy real-world challenges: how to analyze private markets with sparse data, how to trust synthetic return streams, and where to draw the line when using monthly snapshots that embed structural portfolio shifts.Finally, we explore what it means to make factor results actionable—whether through stress testing, residual interpretation, or portfolio diagnostics.Please enjoy my conversation with Chris Carrano.
