Ashley St. Clair dropped out of college to become a full-time conservative influencer. Five years later, she was pregnant with Elon Musk's child. Within months, the weight of the politics Ashley built her career on collapsed. Elon publicly disparaged Ashley and reneged on his fatherly responsibilities, and the influencer who once shamed single mothers on Fox News was one herself. Today, June (or JUNlPER, of Twitter fame) joins me to have a frank discussion with a newly reformed Ashley St. Clair. We probe her on profiting off anti-LGBT bigotry, the seductiveness of the right-wing influencer ecosystem, and making amends. And, of course, what it's like for the leopards to eat your face.

Episode 291 features Scott Love in conversation with legal business development strategist Karen Kaplowitz on how lawyers can use charitable sponsorships to deepen client relationships and generate business in a way that feels authentic. Kaplowitz defines “charitable sponsorships” as the common scenario where a client invites a lawyer or law firm to support a charity through events such as dinners, honoree celebrations (often for a general counsel or senior executive), golf tournaments, or fundraising activities. While this can resemble other networking, she argues the charity context creates a stronger “expectation of interaction” and a closer bond because the client is personally invested. Done well, it is not simply writing a check; it is learning what the client and their company care about and showing up in meaningful ways that build trust and access in an increasingly competitive market where competitors are often being invited to the same opportunities. Kaplowitz emphasizes that the biggest mistake firms make is treating charity involvement as a one-and-done transaction, which leads to wasted spend and missed relationship leverage. The value comes from being intentional: doing advance research on who will be there, coordinating internally to ensure the right lawyers attend, arriving early, engaging purposefully, and following up to convert introductions into ongoing relationships. She highlights high-impact approaches such as volunteering alongside clients (e.g., joining a client's Thanksgiving service activity), helping a charity by mobilizing firm resources when a key client is being honored, and serving on boards where clients can see lawyers “in action” as problem-solvers. Her three recommended action steps are: (1) identify what charities your most important clients support, (2) plan specific ways to support the client and the charity (sponsorship, board service, volunteering, fundraising), and (3) execute with consistent follow-through as part of an organized relationship plan with clear activities and a budget.

Episode 290 features Scott Love in conversation with Ryan Kimler (Net Profit CFO) on financial management and strategy for independent law firms. Ryan argues that most small-firm owners struggle because they don't have the right financial team around them, and he outlines a simple four-seat model: bookkeeper (tracks transactions and produces monthly financials), tax accountant/CPA (compliance and tax filings), fractional CFO (forecasting, efficiency, and decision support), and a retirement/investment advisor (helping partners retire on their own terms). Ryan then breaks down what non-financial founders should actually look for in their numbers: on the P&L, keep expenses grouped into three clear buckets—payroll, marketing, overhead—and track them as percentages of revenue; on the balance sheet, monitor cash, accounts receivable, debts, and owner distributions (especially to avoid mis-categorized items that can increase taxable income). Ryan shares what he commonly sees when firms bring him in: a “great year” followed by declining profitability where the owner feels unclear about where the money is going, worries about payroll, and loses sleep due to a lack of forecasting and visibility. His firm's approach is to create an annual plan, build a simplified financial dashboard/scoreboard (green/yellow/red), and then develop action plans that target the “red” metrics—often involving attorney productivity, hiring efficiency, pricing, collections, and marketing ROI—so the firm can improve cash flow, profitability, and owner take-home pay. The episode closes with three action steps: build the right financial team, review your financials regularly using a few key metrics and trends, and create an action plan to fix the number(s) that are off track.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love sits down with Deborah Farone, one of the legal industry's foremost experts on law firm marketing, to discuss her new book Breaking Ground and the unique dynamics women lawyers face in developing a thriving practice. Drawing on interviews with 60 successful women rainmakers from around the world, Deborah explains how a lack of visible role models, unconscious bias, and confidence gaps can affect business development—but also how women can turn these challenges into strategic advantages. The conversation explores the importance of having a written business development plan, setting aspirational goals, building confidence, and using practical tools such as grounding exercises to overcome imposter syndrome and perform effectively in client-facing situations. Scott and Deborah also examine the concrete habits and systems that consistently drive long-term rainmaking success. From intentional networking and authentic relationship-building to leveraging empathy, listening skills, and personal interests as connection points, Deborah emphasizes that there is no single “right” way to develop business. Instead, successful women lawyers build practices that align with who they are, supported by simple systems, regular touchpoints, and disciplined follow-through. The episode concludes with clear action steps for professionals at any stage of their career: carve out time to define a vision, actively nurture a professional network, and take immediate action to move one relationship—or opportunity—forward.

Tracey had a prolonged and close view of a black panther outside her car at a forest edge in Gloucestershire in 2001. Two years later she was able to compare the cat with a black leopardess at Heythrop private zoo in the Cotswolds. Tracey recounts other big cat reports from family and friends, including from her sister who was a sceptic until seeing a black panther in the same general area, and from friends who were confronted by a puma on a cycleway near Stroud.Tracey has had two puma encounters herself. The first on a mountain path when trekking in Patagonia, and then in October 2025, when driving on the edge of Cirencester. Rick recalls past big cat sightings in precisely the same area of Cirencester, unknown to Tracey.  In a final segment we play voice messages from Craig in Herefordshire as he follows up ep129 when he reported a puma on one of his trail cams. In December Craig was charged by a puma just meters from that camera and he's twice seen watching eye shine at close range. We then hear from Mark Graves, from ep 95, as he responds to Craig's comments and queries about these recent events.  Word of the week:   zoophobia11 January 2026

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love sits down with Chad Dean, Managing Partner of Integrated Management Resources, to discuss how professionals can avoid common career pitfalls—and recover strategically when missteps occur. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience recruiting senior finance and accounting leaders, Chad emphasizes the importance of slowing down decision-making, understanding true motivations for change, and avoiding reactionary moves driven solely by compensation. He explains why culture, leadership trust, and long-term growth potential are far more reliable indicators of a successful career move than short-term financial gain, and why many professionals benefit from having a neutral sounding board before making major decisions. The conversation also explores how to navigate career setbacks, including short tenures, leadership mismatches, or ethical red flags, without derailing long-term credibility. Chad offers practical guidance on when it makes sense to exit a role quickly, how to frame career narratives with clarity and confidence, and why mentorship, networking, and disciplined self-care are essential for long-term career resilience. This episode provides thoughtful, grounded advice for professionals who want to manage their careers deliberately, minimize regret, and position themselves for sustained success—even in the face of uncertainty or change.

In this solo episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love shares hard-earned insights from nearly three decades in legal recruiting and thousands of in-depth conversations with law firm partners across the country. Drawing from patterns he's observed among the most successful rainmakers, Scott breaks down what truly drives long-term growth for law firm partners—beyond pure legal skill. Scott outlines three core pillars that consistently show up in high-performing partners: strong legal acumen, deliberate business development, and effective leadership. He explains why partners who thrive treat the growth of their practice as an intellectual journey—one that requires continuous learning, humility, and intentional skill-building, rather than relying solely on past success or technical expertise. The episode also emphasizes the importance of consistency in relationship-building. Scott shares practical examples of how small, repeatable actions—such as one meaningful outreach per week—compound into powerful business development momentum over time. He also discusses the role of vision, platform, and firm strategy in determining whether partners can realistically reach their long-term goals where they are—or whether a different platform might better support their practice and clients. This episode is especially relevant for partners who want to grow their book of business thoughtfully, evaluate their current firm alignment, and make strategic decisions without unnecessary risk or pressure. It's a candid, practical roadmap for partners who want to take ownership of their growth and career trajectory.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with executive coach and author Luci Gabel about optimal performance for high achievers—and Luci's definition is simple and practical: optimal performance equals energy. She explains that rainmakers and senior professionals aren't just managing tasks; they are managing the internal capacity to think clearly, communicate well, make high-stakes decisions, and stay steady under pressure. Luci introduces a framework of six “pillars” of energy that combine the physical and mental sides of performance: nutrition, movement, rest/sleep, mindset, communication, and vision. Her point is that you cannot separate physiology from leadership—small shifts in hydration, rest, movement, or self-talk can immediately improve focus, mood, decision quality, and resilience. Luci also emphasizes that most professionals don't pay attention to energy until they're already depleted; the first step is simply noticing what drains you and what elevates you throughout the day. Rather than overwhelming people with a complete lifestyle overhaul, she advocates high-leverage, minimal viable changes—one small adjustment practiced consistently for a week or two (like increasing water intake, taking a 10-minute walk, or turning screens off an hour earlier). She recommends turning the six pillars into a simple monthly self-audit: draw a “wheel,” rate yourself from 1–10 on each pillar, identify the lowest score, and focus on one small improvement there. Over time, this creates compounding gains in energy and clarity. Luci closes by pointing listeners to her coaching and group programs built on these pillars, along with her podcast, Leadership Life, Health and Happiness, for continued strategies on sustainable performance.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Rachel Minion, founder of Rockstar & Moon, about how professionals can make a bigger impact through smarter, more intentional marketing. Rachel challenges the instinct to “do more” and instead urges business owners and service professionals to do less—but do it better. She explains that spreading energy across too many platforms and initiatives leads to diluted results, while focusing on a few high-impact actions accelerates growth. A core piece of that foundation is capturing success: turning client wins into case studies, testimonials, and social proof that sell future work far more effectively than any sales pitch. Rachel shares how even anonymized case studies—rooted in measurable outcomes—can generate immediate opportunities because prospects trust real results over marketing language. Rachel also emphasizes the power of automation to keep follow-up, nurturing, and onboarding consistent without overwhelming the professional. She explains how pre-call warmups, no-show follow-ups, “not now” sequences, and onboarding workflows can all run automatically while still feeling personal when handled thoughtfully. Instead of relying on memory or manual outreach, these systems create consistent touchpoints that nurture relationships until prospects are ready. She closes by offering three action steps: (1) focus only on the most impactful marketing activities; (2) actively seek out case studies and testimonials while the “win” is fresh; and (3) automate wherever possible to scale your time, maintain authenticity, and stay meaningfully connected with your audience.

Our first guest Sam describes his late brother Jake's sighting of a black panther when he was fishing in south Devon. Then Sam explains his own view of a black leopard watching cattle and their calves on the Somerset levels near Glastonbury.  Sam and Rick then discuss their inputs to a recent short film on big cat sightings in Somerset – see the podcast website for a link to the film, bigcatconversations.com/refs-links/Our second guest Sonia follows-up the two big cat encounters from Hampshire on episode 132. Sonia had never heard of any black panther reports in the same area and year as her close-up incident. But when she heard Dave's account on that episode, it appeared to be the same big black cat at around the same time. Sonia mentions that a private travelling menagerie was based in Petersfield from the 1930s. Our link on the website, at the above link, includes a recording about the menagerie from Petersfield Shine Radio. Thanks to Mark Jones in New South Wales for our closing music.Word of the Week:   vindicated11 December 2025

In this legal-focused edition of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back Elise Holtzman of The Lawyer's Edge for part two of their conversation—this time on how lawyers can get speaking, panel, and writing opportunities. Elise explains that doing great work isn't enough; if you're “toiling away in obscurity,” clients and referral sources won't find you. Thought leadership—speaking, writing, panels—is a practical way to demonstrate value, answer the questions that keep clients up at night, and be seen as a credible authority without “bragging.” She stresses that opportunities rarely appear out of nowhere; early on, you must be proactive and deliberate about who you speak to, what you speak about, and where your audience gets its information (your “who, what, and where”). Elise walks through practical steps for both associates and partners. Juniors can co-author articles with partners, contribute to firm content, and speak for young-lawyer groups or bar sections to build skills early, instead of waiting until partnership pressure hits. She breaks down the advantages of panels (shared spotlight, conversational format, built-in networking) and describes how repeated speaking and writing gradually position you as the go-to expert in a crowded market. For writing, Elise suggests targeting publications your clients actually read, reviewing writer guidelines, pitching editors before drafting, and understanding who owns the IP so you can repurpose content on your website or LinkedIn. She closes with three action steps: (1) clarify your who/what/where before chasing opportunities; (2) be proactive—tell people you want to speak and write and work with marketing/PR if your firm has them; and (3) experiment with different formats, set a realistic cadence (e.g., quarterly), and build a body of work that consistently showcases your expertise.

Within the studio's ‘Invent and Integrate' design approach, Mask Architects has unveiled a fully self-chargeable solar motorcycle named Solaris. At its core, Solaris looks a little bit like any other bike, but upon charging, retractable photovoltaic wings unfold, collecting rich sunlight to supply energy to the bike's lithium storage unit.The project serves as an exploration of autonomous mobility, focusing on vehicles capable of generating their own power without relying on fuel, charging networks, or electrical grids. When parked, Solaris effectively becomes its own charging station, operating independently and supporting site-free energy use. This technical foundation is paired with a distinctive biomimetic design philosophy.

I have been providing a weekly ranking of my Top 25 NCAA Division I FCS small college football teams every week since early October.  Below are the SwampSwamiSports.com rankings (expanded to show some additional teams this week) through the week ending November 15, 2025: This is my first season covering the FCS group.  I am using the same guidelines which have served me well in determining a weekly Top 25 ranking list for the major college FBS football teams over the past seven years. There are only a few major media services which provide significant weekly coverage of the FCS smaller college football teams.  My weekly rankings (click here for my FCS methodology) give you the chance to compare my top teams  vs. the long-time American Football Coaches Association FCS Poll.   The website for the Coaches Poll indicated that 26 FCS Board of Coaches determine their weekly Top 25 rankings for the smaller division teams. This week, we agree on 17 teams in our Top 25 rankings Below are the eight teams in my latest poll which were left out of the Coaches’ Top 25: #8 – 9-2 Presbyterian College (Pioneer Football League) #14 – 8-2 Alabama State (SWAC)* #16 – 7-2 Dartmouth (Ivy League) #18 – 8-3 Sacred Heart (Independent) #21 – 8-3 UT-Rio Grande Valley (Southland) #23 – 8-3 Delaware State (MEAC)* #24 – 8-3 South Carolina State (MEAC)* #25 – 8-3 Prairie View A&M (SWAC)* Here are the eight teams in the Coaches’ Top 25 which differ from my rankings: #14 – 7-4 UC-Davis (Big Sky) #16 – 7-4 North Dakota (Missouri Valley) #17 – 7-4 Youngstown State (Missouri Valley) #18 – 7-4 Abilene Christian (United Athletic Conference) #21 – 8-4 South Dakota Coyotes (Missouri Valley) #23 – 8-3 West Georgia Wolves (United Athletic Conference) #24 – 8-3 Lafayette Leopards (Coastal Athletics Association) *Denotes teams/conferences which will not compete in the FCS playoffs.  Instead, the MEAC and SWAC winners will play each other in the Celebration Bowl in Atlanta. Who should be included in the 24-team FCS Playoff field? There is (of course) a national committee which will determine the 24 teams to be included in this year’s FCS playoffs.  The 2025 FCS Playoff Committee is comprised of one athletic director from each of the 11 FCS conferences which are participating in the playoff field.  This will be the first year for the Ivy League to send one or more representatives into the field. As previously noted, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) send their conference champions to compete in the Celebration Bowl for the HBCU title on December 13.  The MEAC and SWAC do not have a voting representative determining the 24 teams heading into the FCS playoffs beginning on November 29.    Each of this year’s 11 participating conferences will send their league champion team to the FCS playoffs.  The other 13 teams are considered “At-large” and will be determined by the selection committee on Sunday, November 23. First, let’s predict the 11 Conference Champions.  “Come on down!” All rankings shown are from the SwampSwamiSports.com FCS Top 25 published on Monday, November 17, 2025: Missouri Valley – #2 North Dakota State Bison (11-0) – clinched last week Southern (So-Con) – #7 Mercer Bears (10-1) – clinched last week Southland – #11 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (9-2) – clinched last week Here are my predictions for the other eight conference champions receiving automatic bids: Big Sky Conference – #3 Montana Grizzlies (11-0) Coastal Athletic Association – #10 Rhode Island Rams (9-2) Ivy League – #4 Harvard (9-0) Northeast Conference– #36 Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (7-4) Ohio Valley/Big South Alliance – #6 Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (10-1) Patriot League – #1 Lehigh Mountain Hawks (11-0) Pioneer Football League – #28 Drake Bulldogs (7-3) United Athletic Conference – #31 Abilene Christian (7-4) Who should receive the other 13 “at-large” bids?  My personal belief is that the remaining 13 teams should be determined based on their performance on the field this season.  Wins and losses matter.  For example, a 9-2 team from Conference A has clearly sustained more on-field success than a 7-4 squad from Conference B. Determining the relative strength of schedule between teams at this level is even harder than evaluating the major college FBS teams.  Most fans are able to see the top major college teams on television several times during the football season. Let’s stick with my ranking system to select the following 13 teams to receive an At-Large invitation into Sunday’s FCS selection show (11AM CST on ESPNU): Tarleton State Texans (UAC – #5 ranking) – The 10-1 Texans won their first nine games of the year before losing 27-24 at Abilene Christian.  The Texans opened the season with an impressive 30-27 road win against 5-4 FBS member Army. Presbyterian Blue Hose (Pioneer and #8 ranking) – Presbyterian (9-2) plays in what is considered to be a relatively weak football conference.  However, the Blue Hose went to Macon, Georgia and gave the 10-1 Mercer Bears (champions of the So-Con) their only loss in 2025.  That’s good enough to justify a spot in my playoff field! Monmouth Hawks (CAA and #9 ranking) – The 9-2 Hawks lost one of their two games on the road at FBS member UNC-Charlotte 26-20.  When compared against fellow CAA member 8-2 Villanova, Monmouth wins my tiebreaker by virtue of their 51-33 drubbing of Villanova on September 20. Montana State Bobcats (Big Sky and #12 ranking) – Montana State is 9-2 heading into this weekend’s game with unbeaten Montana (11-0).  The Bobcats blew-out 7-3 UC-Davis 38-17 two weeks ago and receive my vote. Villanova Wildcats (CAA and #15 ranking) – Villanova (8-2) is red hot right now.  The Wildcats have won seven straight games heading into this weekend’s season finale against a very tough 8-3 Sacred Heart team.  Villanova’s only losses are to FBS member Penn State and at 9-2 Monmouth earlier this season. Dartmouth Big Green (Ivy League and #16 ranking) – Dartmouth is 7-2 with its only losses coming at 9-0 Harvard and 5-4 Penn.  If the FCS committee needs to be reminded, Dartmouth beat 7-2 Yale 17-16 earlier this season.  I expect Yale to lose at Harvard on Saturday.  If I’m wrong (it happens), then Yale should make the field, too. Sacred Heart Pioneers (Independent and #18 ranking) – The 8-3 Pioneers have played a fairly tough schedule.  Their three losses have come at 11-0 Lehigh (28-10), at 7-4 Central Connecticut State (42-35) and at 11-0 Montana (43-21).  Saturday’s season finale is at 8-2 Villanova. Another loss could knock Sacred Heart out of the playoffs, but their losses have come against likely FCS Playoff teams. Lamar Cardinals (Southland and #19 ranking) – Lamar (8-3) ran off seven straight wins earlier this season.  The Cardinals from Beaumont lost on Saturday at Southland Conference champion Stephen F. Austin 26-15 but hold my tiebreaker with wins over 8-3 Southeastern Louisiana and 8-3 UT- Rio Grande Valley. Southeastern Louisiana Lions (Southland and #20 ranking) – The 8-3 Lions lost two of their games on the road at FBS members Louisiana Tech and LSU.  The other loss came in a 14-12 thriller at 8-3 Lamar.  Southeastern has one of the top defenses in the FCS this year and has allowed less than 12 points per game to non-FBS opponents.  They are definitely in my 2025 playoff field! UT – Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros (Southland and #21 ranking) – In case you are counting, this would be the fourth Southland Conference team in the FCS playoffs.  This is UTRGV’s first full season in the FCS, so I fully expect the playoff committee to shun them.  Not me.  The Vaqueros’ only three losses came on the road against playoff-bound Stephen F. Austin, Lamar, and Southeastern Louisiana. Illinois State Redbirds (Missouri Valley and #22 ranking) – Illinois State (8-3) lost its opener at FBS #8 ranked Oklahoma.  The Redbirds’ other two losses came – at home – to 11-0 North Dakota State (33-16) and 7-4 Youngstown State (40-35).  Illinois State is on a four game winning streak heading into Saturday’s home finale against 6-5 rival Southern Illinois.  They must beat the Salukis to get into the playoffs. Lafayette Leopards (Patriot and #26 ranking) – The 8-3 Leopards are playing at home Saturday in “The Rivalry” game against the 11-0 Lehigh Mountain Hawks.  If Lafayette wins, they’re in the playoffs as Patriot League champs and Lehigh will still receive an at-large bid. Should Lafayette lose on Saturday, they are at risk of being left out of the playoff field.  The Leopards’ “best win” came over 6-5 Richmond 35-28.  Another four-loss team with a better resume is likely receive this spot. West Georgia Wolves (UAC and #27 ranking) – West Georgia (8-3) has been omitted from my FCS Top 25 most of this season for good reason. The Wolves have swept teams with lousy records but lost all three games to tougher competition.  West Georgia (located in Carrollton or about 45 miles west of Atlanta) lost games at 7-4 Austin Peay, at home to 7-4 Abilene Christian, and at 10-1 Tarleton State. The Wolves’ weak non-conference schedule may be a hard sell to the FCS playoff committee. Let’s include two “stand-by” teams with the best chance to shout “Pick me!” to the FCS playoff committee: UC Davis Aggies (Big Sky and #29 ranking) – UC-Davis (7-3) had its season opener at So-Con champion Mercer canceled due to possible tropical storm conditions in Georgia.  The Aggies have one less victory than other competitors affected my rankings (eight wins beats seven in the SwampSwamiSports.com rankings).  Having only three losses, though, helped to elevate UC-Davis over the 18 FCS teams which have four defeats through last weekend’s games.  The UC Davis Aggies must beat conference rival Sacramento State (7-4) on Saturday to have a chance at securing a playoff spot. South Dakota Coyotes (Missouri Valley and #30 ranking) – The 8-4 Coyotes concluded their season last week on November 15.  South Dakota lost a “money game” at FBS opponent Iowa State to start the season.  They dropped to 0-2 after losing another road game at 8-3 Lamar (20-13).  The Coyotes can point to a win over likely Pioneer Conference champ 7-3 Drake (42-21) and a pair of 7-4 MVC foes in South Dakota State and North Dakota. Best of luck to all of the FCS teams this weekend!  Happy Thanksgiving!  The post Predicting all 24 FCS Playoff Teams! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

MAGA screeches rise as the leopards eat their faces. Mama Nazi continued her feud with fellow GOP loads before the midterms. US attorney Lindsey Halligan has screwed the pooch with the Comey and Letitia James cases. Repubs of Texas got an “L” from a judge for their redistricting plan.

Bodycam footage revealed embarrassing footage of a Border Patrol agent behaving badly in Long Beach. Congress might pass a ban on legislators playing the stock market. The BBC bent over and apologized for their edit of Diaper Don’s speech before the tourists rioted in the Capitol. McDonalds gives customers a big smack with a more expensive menu.

The NCAA Division I FCS (smaller college) football teams have just one week remaining in the regular season. This Sunday at 11AM CST, the FCS Playoff Committee will announce the 24 teams which will participate in this year’s playoffs beginning on Friday, November 28. There are three FCS teams which have already locked-up a place in the playoff field by virtue of clinching their conference races last weekend.  The remaining 21 places in the field will be determined after this Saturday’s games conclude. Three down and 21 more to go! Congratulations to North Dakota State, Mercer, and Stephen F. Austin for securing the first three invitations to late November’s FCS playoffs. Defending FCS champion North Dakota State is now 11-0 and has a two-game lead in the Big Sky Conference with only one game remaining.  Bison head coach Tim Polasek is likely hearing overtures from some of the 11 major colleges seeking a new football coach.  Can Coach Polasek and his very talented herd of Bison remain focused, run the table, and close out a perfect season with yet another FCS title? The red-hot 9-1 Mercer Bears of the Southern Conference own a two-game lead over their closest competitor, Western Carolina.  Mercer clobbered UT-Chattanooga 63-17 Saturday to wrap-up a spot in the FCS playoffs for the third straight season.  The Mercer Bears from Macon, Georgia have won nine games in a row and have tallied 38 or more points in their last eight contests.  The coachless Auburn Tigers of the SEC will try to end the Bears’ winning streak this Saturday (1PM on the SEC+ Network) at Jordan-Hare Stadium in eastern Alabama. Surprising Stephen F. Austin disposed of Texas rival Lamar University 26-15 Saturday night to claim its first Southland Conference football title since 2010.  The Lumberjacks have sawed through nine straight opponents to move to 9-2 and grab their spot in the upcoming FCS playoffs.  SFA finishes on the road Thursday night (6:30PM on ESPN+) to play the struggling 1-10 Northwestern State Demons with the rivalry’s 7-foot wooden trophy called “The Chief” going home with the victor. Let’s review some of the “Win and you’re in” games coming on Saturday Coastal Athletic Association – The 9-2 Rhode Island Rams have never won the regular season title in the CAA. They have a chance to finish with a perfect 8-0 conference record at home this Saturday (11AM CST on ESPN+) with a victory over the struggling 2-9 Hampton Pirates.  A win gives the Rams a ticket into the FCS playoffs.  An upset loss by Rhode Island would open the door for 9-2 Monmouth and/or 8-2 Villanova to become involved in a complicated tiebreaker to determine the CAA champion. Ivy League – It’s hard to believe, but this is the first season in which the Ivy League champion will be participating in the FCS playoffs.  Historically, the Ivy League wanted its student/athletes to concentrate on academics (gasp!) as final exams occur during the FCS playoff season. Boston’s famed Fenway Park baseball stadium will host “The Game” this Saturday (11AM CST on ESPNU) between 9-0 Harvard and 7-2 Yale.  This annual football contest was first played in 1875. Saturday’s winner also claims the Ivy League’s first guaranteed spot in the FCS playoffs.  Pressure, anyone? Northeast Conference – The Central Connecticut State Blue Devils are 7-4 coming off Saturday’s 38-33 loss to Duquesne in Pittsburgh. The Blue Devils are 5-1 in conference action and control their chances to reach the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2019.  A home win on Saturday (11AM CST on ESPN+) against the 5-6 Mercyhurst Lakers will give the NEC title to Central Connecticut.  If the Blue Devils lose, a tiebreaker may be needed with Duquesne. Ohio Valley/Big South Alliance – Tennessee Tech’s perfect 10-0 start ended last Saturday after the fast-improving SEC Kentucky Wildcats prevailed 42-10 in Lexington. The Golden Eagles return home to Cookeville on Saturday to face rival UT-Martin (6-5 overall but 6-1 in conference). Saturday’s winner receives an automatic bid into the FCS playoffs.  The game also marks Tennessee Tech’s final Ohio Valley Conference football game as the Golden Eagles fly into the Southern Conference next season in 2026. Patriot League – This weekend of big games wouldn’t be complete without the annual game pitting Lehigh (11-0) against Lafayette (8-3).  The game called “the Rivalry” has been played since 1884.  This year’s “Rivalry #161” takes place on Saturday at 11:30 AM CST (on ESPN+) in Easton, Pennsylvania. Lafayette’s Leopards are at home and will try to ruin the season for the unbeaten Mountain Hawks from nearby Bethlehem.  The winner takes home the Patriot League title and its automatic bid into the FCS playoffs. Pioneer Football League – The 7-3 Drake Bulldogs have surrendered only 10 points per game over its last seven games.  They are playing exceptional defense!   Drake controls its own fate to receive an automatic FCS playoff bid if the Bulldogs are able to take down Morehead State (6-5 overall and 4-3 in conference) on Saturday at 12Noon CST (ESPN+). Presbyterian College is 9-2 and still has a chance to take the top spot if (a) Drake loses and (b) the Blue Hose de-“feet” (ha ha!) Marist (5-6) on Saturday. United Athletic Conference – Abilene Christian’s upset of formerly unbeaten Tarleton State a few weeks ago has provided the Wildcats a one-game lead in the UAC. A win this Saturday by Abilene Christian (now 7-4) at Central Arkansas (3-8) would give ACU the UAC automatic playoff bid.  If da’ Bears are able to spring an upset in Conway, Arkansas, Tarleton State (currently 10-1) would win the league title with a home victory over 7-4 Austin Peay. The MEAC and SWAC have their own title on the line in December Winners of two FCS conferences featuring historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) will face-off in Atlanta on December 13 for the annual Celebration Bowl. The victor in this Saturday’s MEAC final regular season game between 8-3 South Carolina State at 8-3 Delaware State will receive an invitation to Atlanta to play in the Celebration Bowl. The SWAC holds its title game between the East Division winner vs. Prairie View A&M (the newly-crowned West Division champ) on Saturday, December 6.  That winner receives the other invitation to play in December’s Celebration Bowl. Alabama State’s Hornets (Montgomery, AL) and Jackson State’s Tigers share the SWAC’s East Division lead.  Both teams have identical 8-2 overall and 6-1 conference records.  Jackson State defeated Alabama State 38-34 earlier this season and may prevail in a tiebreaker.   Let’s reveal the latest SwampSwamiSports.com FCS Top 25 rankings for the week ending Saturday, November 15, 2025: The post Drama Galore as FCS Regular Season ends Saturday appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this episode, Robin, Fred Hammer, and Robin Gratz spend three action-packed days trying to land an African monster. This is no small feat. Given the extremely high caliber of apex predators in South Africa, e.g Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, hyenas and packs of African wild dogs... antelope have developed an incredible skill-set that keeps them alive against all odds. So, getting close with a bow in hand is sometimes laughably difficult. Thankfully, they manage to close the distance, and arrows fly. A big thanks to Fred Hammer from Bowhunting Africa for his fantastic guiding services, and Robin Gratz from Daggaboy films for capturing the adventure. -----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back Rudhir “Rudi” Krishtel, former patent litigation partner at Fish & Richardson, former senior patent counsel at Apple, and now executive coach and founder of Krishtel. Rudi discusses “Overcoming Pitfalls to Becoming a Rainmaker” and shares practical insights on how lawyers can shift their mindset to grow their book of business. He explains that business development is 80% mindset and 20% skillset—most lawyers don't need more tools; they need a new way of thinking. By reframing marketing as helping, not selling, attorneys can replace fear and hesitation with purpose and authenticity. Rudi also outlines how to identify your smallest viable market—the eight to ten people or companies most aligned with your expertise—and focus all your efforts on being helpful to that group. Through strategic clarity and mindset realignment, professionals can eliminate fear of rejection, become more consistent in outreach, and build a sustainable business development playbook. Rudi concludes with three action steps: remember you're helping, define your smallest viable market, and take concrete, helpful actions toward that audience over the next 90 days.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back Stacey Brown Randall, author of The Referable Client Experience: A Proven Method to Generate Referrals Without Asking. Stacey shares her science-based framework for creating client experiences that naturally generate referrals—without the awkwardness of asking. She explains that client experience is not just about doing great work; it's about how clients feel when working with you. Professionals who intentionally design their client journey to include both excellent results and meaningful relationship-building touchpoints create the emotional connection that makes them truly referable. Stacey outlines her three-stage model—New, Active, and Alumni—and shows how to tailor communication and touchpoints at each phase to build trust and loyalty. She also discusses “referral hot zones,” those key moments when clients are most likely to refer, and how to identify and leverage them strategically. By focusing on both client emotions and relationship touchpoints, professionals can bridge the gap between being referable and receiving consistent, high-quality referrals.

As Clare and Mark amble around the Hambleton Peninsula, which stretches into Rutland Water, Mark and his producer Carl Cooper discuss what it takes to pull together an episode of In Town.Mark also discusses the theme of his new book, Leopard in My House, about his recovery from cancer.

From September 17, 2025. In this week's episode, we tell the story of a Giant Blue Star that made the terrible, terrible mistake of trying to nibble on its more evolved sibling; it's black hole of a sibling. Folks, don't eat the dark holes in spacetime. We also look at this week's news, including lumpy planets, forming planets, asteroids getting up close and personal, and how Leopard spots are in style for life hunting Mars Scientists. We also have tales from the launch pad.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the UAP video played in Congress, possible signs of ancient life on Mars, and new JonBenét DNA testing! We'll break down what the clip shows, what the Pentagon has confirmed, and why a Hellfire might be used against an unknown in a combat zone. Then we'll get into what Perseverance's "leopard-spot" rocks really say about past microbes, and what still needs a sample return. Finally, we'll lay out what's being retested in the JonBenét case and how newer DNA methods could move the investigation forward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
