ZEITSPIEL ist wieder zu Gast beim Hörfehler. Diesmal geht es um Ausgabe #43 und das „englische Jahr“ 1966. Wembley, England, Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder, World Cup Willie: Die WM 1966 wirkt bis heute wie ein Sehnsuchtsort des alten Fußballs. Aber dieses Bild hält nicht lange, wenn man genauer hinschaut. Mit Hardy Grüne und Dietrich Schulze-Marmeling sprechen wir über 1966 als Fußballmythos, über Boykott, koloniale Sichtweisen, Südamerika, Afrika, Asien, Fernsehen, Arbeitersport und die Frage, ob dieses Turnier wirklich noch alter Fußball war — oder schon der Anfang von etwas Neuem. Außerdem blättern wir weiter durch ZEITSPIEL #43: zu Lincoln City, 50+1, Thorsten Poppe, dem Fußballunterbau, dem Saisonrückblick und zu Bernd Sautter, der ZEITSPIEL und auch den Hörfehler über Jahre mitgeprägt hat.

It's magical episode 444 of The Pedalshift Project, and we're marking the occasion with a proper Oregon Coast adventure! In part one of two, longtime friend of the show Brock Dittus joins on a hobgoblin of a ride. On this episode: northbound coastal riding, alternate routes off 101, questionable mileage math, damp gear, coffee stops, headwinds, the Five-Timers Club, and the operating phrase of the whole trip: "My tent is not viable." Hey there is a GIVEAWAY that is part of this episode… stay tuned to hear how to win a special, nearly one of a kind piece designed by the talent behind the five timers club award Brock gets in this very episode! Highlights Episode 444, with a very satisfying accidental 44-mile moment. Tim and Brock reunite for a Sprocket Shift-style Oregon Coast ride. The trip shifts from the original plan into a northbound Lincoln City-to-Astoria adventure. The 60X bus from Salem to Lincoln City proves to be a useful transit link for coastal bike touring. Devil's Lake hiker-biker gets revisited and loosely rated. Summer on the Oregon Coast delivers rain, chill, clouds, and deeply confused expectations. Tim's tent fails overnight and is declared "not viable." The planned camping trip becomes a hotel-supported ride after wet gear and a damp down bag change the calculus. Old Highway 101 / Forest Road 11 north of Lincoln City gets a major reassessment as the better touring route. Neskowin and Pacific City provide key food, coffee, and morale stops. The final stretch into Tillamook brings classic coastal headwinds. Brock officially receives his Five-Timers Club award. Route Notes Start: Salem, Oregon Transit: 60X bus to Lincoln City / Chinook Winds Casino Camp: Devil's Lake State Recreation Area hiker-biker site Ride direction: Northbound / NOBO Day ride: Lincoln City to Tillamook Key stops: Neskowin, Pacific City, Tillamook End of episode: Tillamook, Oregon Next destination: Astoria, Oregon Hey it's a giveaway!

When we sit down with football club CEO's, we hear about plans, ambitions, challenges, expectations. These are some of the most scrutinised jobs you could wish for, a privilege but also a huge responsibility. When Lincoln City shocked football this season, in what could only be described as romping to the League One title and therefore promotion to the Championship, getting their excellent CEO Liam Scully back in to talk us through this was an inevitability.We can embarrass Liam briefly, one of the most humble people I've had the pleasure of meeting in football. It was obvious from our first interview in October 2024 that this is an exceptional CEO and leader of football. But does that translate to the only success football truly understands: winning? That question has been answered. There's been an operational discipline that would be the envy of many for a while; now they've added the performance to match. So how did Lincoln upset the sporting and business odds to achieve this? Let's find out as we welcome Liam Scully back to the Business of Sport.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: AirwallexThe intelligent financial platform for global businesseshttps://www.airwallex.com/uk/GeminiWe empower the most confident sports organisations on Earthhttps://geminisports.ai/If you're interested in partnering with the show, please reach out to us atbos@20vc.com

While the world has been captivated by the celebrity-funded rise of Wrexham, a South African hedge fund manager has been quietly writing an even more impossible football fairytale. Clive Nates, leading a consortium of South African investors, has just engineered Lincoln City's historic promotion to the English Championship—a tier the club hasn't reached in 65 years. Defying massive 1,000-to-1 odds and competing with a budget that ranked near the very bottom of League One, Nates applied "Moneyball" analytics and pure passion to outsmart the giants. Next season, this underdog squad will face off against massive English clubs, proving that South African grit and data-driven strategy can still conquer the beautiful game.
Highlights from the rest of the English Football League. The top of the Championship is shaping up as the clubs are starting to fall into place. The Foxes are fading at the bottom as relegation is looking like a reality. Lincoln City have opened up a 4-point lead in league 1 while Blackpool now find themselves in the drop.

Aston Villa's Europa League last sixteen first leg against Lille on Thursday arrives at a critical moment in the season. With Villa sitting seventeenth in the Premier League form table over the last six games, the show discusses whether the Europa League now represents the most realistic route back to the Champions League, and whether the Lille tie can do for this season what the Bologna win did back in October.The show discusses the injury latest, with McGinn edging closer to a return, the squad selection dilemma for Thursday given the trip to Old Trafford follows days later, and whether Emery should rotate or go strong in France.Also discussed: Opta's supercomputer gives Villa an 80% chance of finishing top four, while the Bud 3000 is considerably less optimistic. The Tammy Abraham situation and Emery's Clockwork Orange-style process. Filipe Luís's remarkable and abruptly ended reign at Flamengo, and what it has in common with Ron Saunders. KSI's stake in Dagenham and Redbridge. The FIFA registration block on Brian Maggio. And lessons from Lincoln City in League One that Villa's current squad would do well to absorb.UTVCheck out the best current deals on Aston Villa MerchandiseGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Are Swansea City suddenly in the Championship play-off picture? A rare away win means the Swans are now just five points adrift of the final play-off place - currently occupied by Wrexham. And with the two sides set to meet at the Cae Ras on Friday night, there is suddenly some extra significance on the match. Wrexham's injury list continues to grow - with Kieffer Moore's hamstring injury a cause for concern for Wales with the World Cup play-offs just a fortnight away.Having been top of League One since 22 November, Cardiff City were dethroned by Lincoln City on Saturday and are now four points adrift of the new leaders after a midweek draw in Barnsley. A blip, or something more concerning?
James and Rocco are back after a break from the mic - and there's plenty to unpack. Leeds United have two back-to-back league defeats, Farke's red card and that brilliant press conference, Sunderland's masterclass in anti-football (50 minutes of actual play out of 106 allocated - the stats don't lie), the Ramadan booing controversy and the media's lazy take on it, plus that glorious FA Cup night against Norwich. Sean Longstaff, where did THAT volley come from? We look ahead to Crystal Palace away with Farke back on the touchline, the Brentford night game, and an FA Cup quarter-final trip to West Ham. The Opta supercomputer gives Leeds an 8% chance of going down - but does it know our history? Plus: Ampadu's wobble, Buonanotte's bench life, Archie Gray being the only Spur who cares, and Scubala taking Lincoln City to the top of League One. Dara's away this week so normal service is suspended. No order. No structure.

In this birthday week episode, I'm reflecting on identity evolution, intuition, boundaries, and the standards I'm carrying into my 53rd year. This isn't just a personal reflection. It's an invitation for you to examine: Who you no longer are What standards you've quietly outgrown Where you're still taking advice you shouldn't And how joy, discernment, and self-led leadership shape your next chapter Inside this episode, I share: Why certain life events no longer define your identity The difference between gratitude and appreciation How raising your standards changes your relationships Why I no longer take advice from people I wouldn't trade places with The importance of trusting intuition over appearances Why I'm sharing less until ideas are fully formed How protecting your creative ideas is discernment, not scarcity The role of radical self-care and self-led responsibility Why joy is a nervous system regulation strategy If you are an ambitious, intuitive leader who feels your identity shifting, this episode will resonate deeply. Mentioned in this Episode ✨ The Intuitive Leader Retreat (March 3–5, 2026 | Lincoln City, OR) This is the only in-person retreat planned for 2026. Enrollment closes February 26.
The thing blocking your next level isn't a lack of clarity…it's your attachment to certainty and wanting to be perfect. In this deeply personal episode, Brenda shares: Why “being gentle with yourself” can quietly become self-sabotage The identity shift required for your next chapter What her daughter taught her about perfectionism at 18 months old How wearing a green dress to a dance event became a declaration of readiness The difference between your operating system, programming, and aligned action Why letting go is often more powerful than achieving If you are a heart-centered, high-capacity leader over 40 who knows they're meant for more but keeps hesitating - this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. In This Episode: The danger of waiting for certainty What you're pretending not to know The 3-part alignment model: operating system, programming, action Identity work and nervous system regulation How to stop self-abandoning in the name of “safety” Why reciprocity matters energetically The Intuitive Leader Retreat invitation Journal Prompts from This Episode: What am I avoiding under the guise of waiting for clarity? What am I pretending not to know? What am I no longer available for? What identity am I stepping into now? Ready to shift your self-concept?

If you've been feeling strangely drained, foggy, or off-center lately, you're not imagining it—and nothing is “wrong” with you. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I'm naming something I've never fully talked about publicly before: energy harvesting. Energy harvesting is what happens when your attention, emotional labor, ideas, intuition, or nervous system regulation are being extracted without your consent and without true reciprocity—often under the guise of growth, service, leadership, spirituality, or belonging. If you're an empath, intuitive, healer, or helper, you are especially vulnerable to this. You give freely, you care deeply, and you often assume the cost is yours to quietly absorb. In this episode, I talk about: What energy harvesting actually is How it can show up in masterminds, coaching containers, leadership roles, media cycles, and spiritual communities Why leaving an extractive system can feel like withdrawal, not instant relief Why you may feel disoriented, tired, or “off” right now—even if nothing has changed on paper How to begin reclaiming energetic sovereignty using my simple “zip up” method You'll also hear some of my own stories of leaving misaligned containers, what it felt like in my body, and why I'm so committed to creating spaces that are not extractive—whether that's the Intuitive Leader Retreat, the Spiritual CEO membership, or private sessions. Most importantly, I'll help you start recognizing where your energy is being harvested, and how you can begin to call it back—without losing your empathy, your heart, or your gifts. If you're craving a space that honors your sensitivity while respecting your sovereignty, this is the work we'll be doing together at the Intuitive Leader Retreat and inside my 1:1 and community containers.

Have you ever noticed that the more important a decision is, the harder it becomes to think clearly? In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I explore why clarity often disappears when the stakes are high — especially for empathic, intuitive, and high-capacity leaders — and why that doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. When you're navigating sustained stress, collective uncertainty, emotional labor, or personal transition, your nervous system can become overloaded. When that happens, clarity doesn't vanish — it goes offline. Not because you're confused or failing, but because your system is prioritizing protection. In this episode, I talk about: Why indecision is often a capacity issue, not a lack of knowing How pressure and urgency impact intuitive access Why forcing decisions or “trying harder” usually backfires What actually helps clarity return when everything feels heavy Why co-regulation and support matter more than strategy in uncertain times I also share why this is the exact work we do inside the Intuitive Leader Retreat — creating enough internal steadiness to hear yourself again when the stakes feel loaded — and why I've reopened single 60-minute clarity sessions for those navigating something acute right now. If you've been feeling foggy, tired, or overwhelmed, this episode is a reminder: Nothing has gone wrong. Your clarity hasn't disappeared. It's waiting for the right conditions to return.

What if the thing you're calling commitment is actually costing you yourself? In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda explores how staying — in jobs, relationships, habits, or roles — can quietly turn into self-abandonment, especially for empathic, high-capacity people. You'll learn: The difference between integrity-based commitment and hope-based endurance Why clarity gets quieter the longer you override yourself How nervous system safety restores discernment and self-trust Two simple reflection questions to help you know when it's time to choose differently This episode is for anyone who keeps thinking, “Maybe if I just try harder…” and feels the cost in their body. ✨ If you're ready to stop carrying this question alone, join us at the Intuitive Leader Retreat, March 3–5 in Lincoln City, Oregon. Enrollment closes February 26. Pre-retreat integration calls are included with registration when you register by February 18.

There's a specific kind of frustration that shows up for high-capacity leaders. You know what you want. You've thought it through. You've made the decision consciously. And yet… you still hesitate. You still circle the same choice. You still feel slower than you “should” be. In this episode, I name what's actually happening and it's not procrastination, fear, or self-sabotage. It's something I call identity lag. Identity lag happens when your life starts moving faster than your nervous system can comfortably integrate. Your mind may be clear, but your body is still catching up to who you're becoming. In this conversation, I share: Why feeling “stuck” is often a sign of integration, not failure How high-capacity leaders experience identity lag more intensely The difference between intuition and nervous system stress Why clarity isn't always the missing piece — and what actually is How shifting from self-monitoring to leadership and contribution can unlock movement again I also share personal stories from my own life — moments when everything was aligned on paper, yet my nervous system reacted with hesitation and fatigue right before stepping into something meaningful. If you've ever told yourself: “I should be past this by now” “Why does this feel harder than it should?” “What's wrong with me?” This episode is here to gently take the pressure off. Nothing is wrong with you. You're not behind. Your system may simply be integrating a new level of responsibility, visibility, or truth. And that deserves support — not force. Resources Mentioned:
Sometimes the exact thing you want - more leadership, more impact, a bigger decision, a new season - can make you feel anxious, exhausted, frozen, or unusually triggered. That doesn't mean you're failing. It often means you're in identity lag and your nervous system is activated. In this episode, I break down why growth can feel heavy even when you're ready, how to tell the difference between intuition and stress responses, and what to do so you can keep moving without self-betrayal. In this episode, you'll learn: Why “I feel scared, so it's not aligned” is often a misread What identity lag is (and why it can make you tired) The difference between fear, avoidance, and a stress response Why strategy works when identity is stable (and backfires when it's not) The 3 supports that create real identity integration: regulation mirroring spacious, embodied decisions If growth is making you tired, edgy, emotional, or frozen—nothing is wrong with you. Your body is prioritizing safety during change. And with the right support, you can stabilize into who you're becoming.

Thinking harder won't get you unstuck. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle—energetic leadership guide, psychic medium, and somatic coach—explores the truth most people miss: your identity is what drives your decisions, capacity, and outcomes. This episode meets you in the moments when things feel heavy, unclear, or overwhelming and brings you back into your body so you can access the version of you who already knows what's true. Through real-time somatic practices, identity reflection, and grounded leadership insight, you'll learn how nervous system safety - not more information - is the foundation for aligned action. We also name what's happening in the world right now. Because “protect your energy” can become spiritual bypassing when it's used to avoid integrity, values, and responsibility. You don't have to be loud. You do get to be honest about who you are. In this episode, you'll learn: Why identity - not strategy - drives results How fight, flight, freeze, and fawn impact decision-making Simple somatic practices to regulate your nervous system fast Why embodiment can feel unfamiliar (and how to return safely) How outdated identities quietly keep you stuck What integrity-based leadership looks like in uncertain times Experiential practices included: Nervous system down-regulation through breath and bilateral stimulation Body-based awareness practices you can return to anytime Resources mentioned: The Elixir - 14 short, on-demand somatic resets (3–6 minutes each) to interrupt overwhelm and support clean decisions https://www.brendawinkle.com/elixir The Intuitive Leader Retreat - A 3-day oceanfront retreat for intuitive leaders

As the new year begins, many intuitive practitioners feel called toward change, but not the “new year, new you” kind. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle invites you into a deeper, more grounded reflection on identity, leadership, and what it really takes to step into your next level as a healer, coach, or guide. Brenda shares why identity - not effort - is the true driver of sustainable success, why affirmations often backfire, and how subtle, embodied shifts create profound change. She also speaks directly to intuitive practitioners who know they're sensing more than they're saying—and are ready to trust that information with skill, ethics, and confidence. In this episode, you'll explore: Why identity work matters more than resolutions How to shift identity without triggering resistance What “I am becoming someone who…” actually changes Why intuition alone isn't enough - and how skill creates safety How trusting your intuition impacts pricing, confidence, and leadership What's included in the Intuitive Somatic Healing Certification A first look at the upcoming Spiritual Biz Builder's Retreat This episode is for practitioners who are done circling and ready to lead with clarity, integrity, and ease. ✨ Enrollment for the Intuitive Somatic Healing Certification closes January 2.

And so we start again. Happy New Year everyone!I picked this album to coincide with the new year because the field recording it is built on is, to me, a kind of tonic. It pulses with the sound of distant surf, wildlife, and a spring rain shower.Recorded on April 10th last year at Agnes Creek Open Space, a 57 acre woodland in the heart of Lincoln City, Oregon, this soundscape features the low din of the ocean, the ebullient Pacific Wren, and a very nice ensemble of Varied Thrush adding their ethereal single-note song. In the distance we hear cheerful American Robins and Song Sparrows. In time, a Purple Finch and a Douglas' squirrel take positions in the soundstage. Mixed flocks—bushtits and Chestnut-backed Chickadees primarily—pass through. It sounds like a thriving habitat, but it was not always this way.The area was clear-cut in the 1960s. After that, it regenerated naturally, resulting in a very dense thicket of young conifers that became draped with invasive species. By 2000, when the city purchased the property with funds from an open space acquisition bond, it was overgrown and trash-strewn.In 2013 the city conducted a selective forest thinning project, which improved forest health, and provided wood chips for a new loop trail. In 2016 a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrated carved benches and a footbridge created by local groups. This environmental recording serves as a testament to the forces of both neglect and attention to create renewal. Yes, neglect. Don't we all have issues we don't tend to? We make resolutions and then fail to act on them. Sometimes that's just a necessary step in natural rejuvenation, creating the necessary conditions for real transformation.My composition takes cues from the low moan of the surf, with a variety of sampled and synthesized instrument voices selected to preserve space in the higher frequencies for the wildlife.

In this episode, I share why your intuition—not another framework—is the method you've been looking for. I talk about how A Discovery of Witches helped me see my own magic more clearly, why 2025 has been a year of intense shedding, and how ignoring your body's wisdom buries your intuition. We'll explore: Why templates and scripts eventually become cages The difference between intuition, anxiety, and projection How to read the body and field without overstepping What justice-aligned, sovereignty-first intuitive language sounds like Why so many intuitive practitioners feel “over-trained and under-trusting” If you've ever sensed more in session than your modality accounts for—and felt unsure how to use it ethically—this conversation is for you.
