Podcasts about Locking

Locking down a date and time to record podcasts with Dakotah Norton could be one of the most challenging endeavors Vital has taken on. He's a busy man, and we love him for it. The time crunch between the La Thuile and Andorra World Cups was tough on everyone, so we decided to wait until Dak returned to Tennessee to discuss how his first four World Cups went and what his plans are for the rest of the season. It'd been a few weeks since the crew caught up, so the first 40 minutes of this podcast cover plenty of non-racing topics, like the wall of responsibilities that hit Dak when he returns from Europe, how fun flying with bikes can be, and some insight into a rad bike packing trip Tanner just did up in Canada. We hope you enjoy the banter, and thanks so much for listening to these podcasts!0:00 - The B practice crew is haggard2:00 - The B practice crew hates the dentist 6:30 - Dak's struggles of life on the road9:24 - Airline baggage fee debacles  13:24 - Flying with bikes pro tips16:29 - Hobbies are too expensive now23:20 - Tanner's hut-to-hut bike packing trip in Canada28:12 - E-biking adventures30:54 - Dak's not going to Crankworx, stop asking31:45 - Dak's house prep before leaving for two months36:00 - The fear of not having a ride next year37:34 - Dak's self-evaluation of his first four World Cups back46:31 - Last corner issues in Andorra47:35 - The pace this year is so high50:59 - Andorra vs. La Thuile track comparison 57:41 - Loic's shift in focus at Andorra - gotta win1:00:00 - Jackson vs. Loic riding style1:05:04 - We got a V10 to add weights to 1:09:52 - New Mondraker DH Bike1:16:38 - Frida gets into back-to-back finals!1:19:41 - Tanner still hates Juniors1:23:48 - The struggle of getting UCI points at World Cups1:24:38 - Aaron Gwin's elbow injury1:27:52 - Reece + flats = finals1:28:53 - Schedule changes in Andorra1:36:00 - Gracey is hooking this year. 1:38:16 - Davide Palazzari - what could have been1:42:42 - Valentina Roa Sanchez first final of the year1:43:22 - Martin Maes is going crazy fast1:44:19 - First team overall victory for FMD (Orbea)1:46:41 - Juanfer on fire1:47:48 - Junior Women Overall Standings1:48:50 - Junior Men Overall Standings1:50:03 - Elite Women Overall Standings1:51:49 - Elite Men Overall Standings1:53:53 - Burgtec Labour of Love Awards1:55:43 - What's on the horizon race-wise?1:58:09 - Dak's new mechanic this year

Send us a textPlaywright and performer, Ashley Griffin, swung by the studio to sit in the Playwright's Spotlight before her West Coast Premiere of her Off-Broadway play The Opposite of Love. It's a compelling conversation that tackles so many aspects of playwriting, that the title of the thumbnail became a struggle. In this discussion, we breakdown her playwriting origins, learning lessons from mentors, overcoming technical challenges, magical realism and heightened language, and achieving the goal of giving a gift to the audience. We also unpack recognizing issues, characters having objectives, knowing where you're going, and using language like magic. We wrap it up by exploring - determining beats, separating yourself as a playwright/actor/director in your own work, how acting assists writing, organic dialogue, punctuation as sheet music, and the benefits of locking opposite characters in the same room. Ashley gives a plethora of insight in such a short amount of time. Every playwright will walk away with at least one nugget of knowledge if not a bagful. Enjoy!The West Coast premiere of her play The Opposite of Love opens July 25th through August 31st at The Hudson Backstage Theater in Los Angeles.

Capricorn Full Moon Harmonic Field – July 10, 2025The Spiral Has Landed: The Lightline is Sealed. The Structure is Here.This episode is a direct Harmonic Light Transmission from the July 10 Capricorn Full Moon, streaming through the sealed Lightline of the Earth and anchoring the Spiral of Becoming into planetary form. Not potential. Not metaphor. Form.On July 10, 2025, under the crystalline lens of the Capricorn Full Moon, a planetary finalization occurred. The Wave of Becoming, which initiated the breakdown and deconstruction of outdated energetic scaffolding across 2024, has fully cleared at the planetary level. Its architecture has dissolved. It is no longer in active construction mode within Earth's harmonic field.As of July 3, 2025, the planetary Lightline was sealed.This Lightline sealing marked the anchoring of a new harmonic structure—one that allows the Spiral of Becoming to stabilize into actual dimensional form. Not a vibrational potential. Not a metaphor. Structure. Architecture. Completion.We explore:The completion of the Wave of Becoming at the planetary frequency levelThe birth and anchoring of the Spiral of Becoming as a new multidimensional infrastructureThe planetary sealing of the Lightline as a harmonic event locking in Oversoul-compatible architectureHow time, scaffolding, and harmonic resonance behaved differently inside this lunar corridorWhy nothing needs to be built right now—because it is already builtThis is not personal embodiment or individual resonance. This is planetary harmonic finalization. The field has shifted its base structure.

Carol launches her new Retail Heat Map series by diving into the triple threat that's hitting retailers from all sides right now. From Walmart's workforce disruptions to Amazon's grocery struggles, these aren't just random headlines – they're early warning signals of how external forces are reshaping retail faster than most companies can adapt.Drawing from her recent media commentary across outlets from MarketWatch to the Daily Mail, Carol connects the dots between seemingly unrelated retail challenges to reveal the bigger patterns retail watchers need to understand now. From the Supreme Court's ruling forcing mass retail layoffs to the security-convenience death spiral destroying store experiences and the pricing powder keg threatening to blow up the holidays, collective pressures are compounding.Key takeaways:Scale is everything when curveballs hit – When Walmart loses employees overnight due to federal policy changes, physical scale becomes a lifeline.(Still) no security solution in sight – Locking products behind glass might stop theft, but it's killing sales and pushing customers online.Tariff tremors are starting – Target's toy price increases, Amazon's extended Prime Day strategy, and the Hudson's Bay bankruptcy are early signals that global retailers are bracing for economic impact.Grocery integration overdue and underestimated – Amazon's "One Grocery" initiative acknowledges the obvious: after years of trying to make Whole Foods work, grocery assimilation is still elusive. Ready or not, the second half of 2025 will separate retail winners from casualties. The question isn't whether more disruption is coming – it's which retail strategies survive first contact with reality.Want to be a guest on Spieckerman Speaks Retail?

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down how Rick McFaul of Phoenix, Maryland battled brutal conditions to claim victory at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Potomac River, hosted by Charles County Recreation, Parks, and Tourism.With flooding rains, high winds, and debris-choked water threatening to derail his tournament strategy, McFaul was forced to scrap both his Plan A and B. But his Plan C—a small patch of cleaner water on the Virginia side—turned into a game-winning decision. Locking down on a 50-yard grass stretch with his Power-Poles, McFaul ground out a solid bag before making one final, crucial stop in Mattawoman Creek, where he landed two kicker fish over 4 pounds to seal the deal.We break down Rick's strategy, how he adapted to changing conditions, and what anglers can learn from this gritty performance on the Potomac.

The USA locks up more migrants in its immigration detention facilities than any other country in the world. Already operating over capacity, the Trump administration has ramped up its campaign of immigration raids, allegedly instructing ICE to hit quotas of 3,000 arrests a day. The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill' will, if approved by the Senate, appropriate tens of billions of extra dollars for ICE, and immigration and border law enforcement more broadly.  Without the facilities to house these detainees, thousands now face the imminent possibility of being removed to Guantanamo, or else held in new ‘soft-sided facilities' where the already inadequate guidelines for detainee welfare will be watered down further, in order to expedite their creation. We are joined on the show by Nancy Hiemstra and Deirdre Conlon, authors of Immigration Detention Inc.: The Big Business of Locking up Migrants. We discuss the ways immigration detention generates huge profits for some, while those detained are starved, sickened, and exploited as a matter of routine. We also talk about how immigration detention has expanded in 2025 under Trump, and the ways in which it can be resisted and dismantled.

The panel shared real-world tactics—from gift-giving to gatekeeper rapport—for breaking through and winning attorney referrals without needing to offer leads in return. Aline detailed how a short attorney meeting turned into multiple referrals, while Cam explained how social media, door-knocking, and TikTok helped him become a trusted probate resource. The team also discussed packaging your services into a three-part value proposition, the power of paralegals as allies, and how attorney testimonials can elevate your credibility. The episode wrapped with advice on navigating delayed title issues, the rise in late mortgage leads, and how to take action on motivated seller opportunities before they hit the market.

In this next installment of American Potential, host David From shares a timely conversation featuring House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Fox News contributor and Americans for Prosperity Advisory Council member Guy Benson, recorded at the AFP Freedom Embassy in Washington, D.C. Scalise breaks down the House-passed reconciliation bill designed to lock in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—a move aimed at preventing a $4.5 trillion tax hike scheduled for 2025. The legislation would secure tax relief for families, protect small businesses, eliminate taxes on tips and overtime, restore bonus depreciation, and make the 199A small business deduction permanent. The bill also features aggressive mandatory spending reforms, work requirements in Medicaid and SNAP, border security investments, and energy production measures, echoing the agenda backed by voters in the last election. This episode offers an inside look at the high-stakes legislative battle to keep more money in Americans' pockets—and keep the economy growing.

Send us a textHello and welcome to our show.  In this lively and unpredictable episode, we kick things off with a surprisingly helpful conversation about scheduling sex and how it might just spice things up instead of killing the mood. We then debate the right time to lock the pets out of the bedroom when intimacy is on the table — because no one wants a furry audience. Things take a hilarious turn when we discuss a romantic gesture gone wrong involving a bag of potato chips and a very confused wife. You'll also hear the story of a New Jersey woman arrested for prostitution — and wait until you hear her name. Finally, we hear from a father of five who shares the jaw-dropping cost of just one day at Disney World. Buckle up for laughs, surprises, and a few tips you didn't know you needed. Don't forget to text us or leave us a message on Speakpipe.

Locking in your interest rate can be a smart move under the right circumstances—especially when there's economic uncertainty, like tariffs, geopolitical tension, or volatile inflation.Here are a few key considerations to help you decide:✅ Reasons to Lock in Now:Rising Rate Environment: If inflation is persistent and the Fed continues to signal rate hikes (or holding rates higher for longer), mortgage and loan rates might increase.Market Volatility: Tariffs and global economic uncertainty can lead to unpredictable swings in rates. Locking in now protects you from upward movement.You're Close to Closing: If you're within 30-60 days of needing the loan (e.g., buying a house), rate locks are usually worth it.Peace of Mind: Locking gives you certainty in an uncertain time, helping you budget better and avoid surprises.❌ Reasons to Hold Off:You Expect Rates to Drop: If there's strong indication that rates will fall due to recession fears or easing inflation, waiting could save money.You're Not Ready to Act: If your closing is still months away or you're just shopping around, locking too early may be premature (and rate locks often have time limits and fees)tune in and learn more  at https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogdidier malagies nmls#212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

With under one month until the NBA Draft, the rumors are continuing to fly around. Today, some new reports suggest the Sixers are locking in on drafting a young piece that can align with the long-term core led by Tyrese Maxey. In other news, Paul George opened up about a funny moment on his podcast & was subsequently trolled by former Sixer Tobias Harris. Sixers fans didn't like it at all. Lastly, Paul George once again reiterates his support for the Sixers drafting Ace Bailey. Diving in deeper shows us why Ace Bailey should be the pick at number three.

In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to discuss how Congress can take bold action to rein in runaway federal agencies, eliminate wasteful spending, and make key regulatory reforms permanent. Jeremiah breaks down why popular executive orders from the previous administration—like those promoting transparency and accountability—won't last unless Congress acts. He explains how legislation such as the Guidance Out of Darkness Act, the REINS Act, and the Reorganizing Government Act can prevent bureaucratic overreach, slash unnecessary regulations, and save taxpayers billions. This episode pulls back the curtain on how hidden guidance documents function as backdoor regulation and how bloated rulemaking fuels agency growth. From shrinking budgets to restoring constitutional authority, Jeremiah outlines what's needed to protect the gains of recent reforms—and why time is running out. If you care about limiting government, cutting waste, and preserving individual liberty, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights: if you're building a startup, these aren't “nice to haves,” they're mission-critical. Locking down your intellectual property protects your ideas, your company, your product. And it makes your startup more attractive to investors. Whether it's your brand name, your technology, or your trade secrets, different types of IP protection help you avoid costly legal pitfalls, prevent copycats, and preserve your company's value as you scale. Too many founders wait until they've gained traction to think about IP. But that can be a costly mistake. Without the right protection in place early, you could lose rights, get hit with a cease and desist, or scare off potential investors during due diligence. In this episode, we break down the essential types of IP, what they are, why they matter, and how to make smart, early decisions to protect what you're building. I'm joined by Ray DiPerna, a veteran IP attorney with over 25 years of experience helping startups and high-growth companies protect and monetize their intellectual property. Ray shares why founders should think about their IP as early in the process as possible, and how to avoid costly mistakes. Topics Covered: What counts as IP and what investors expect to see protected The real cost (and strategy) behind patents and “patent pending” Trademark pitfalls that can derail your startup's brand How to handle IP created by employees and contractors How to monetize your IP through licensing or enforcement How to protect trade secrets, source code, branding, and more What to know about copyright for websites, images, and creative assets How to prioritize legal spend when funds are limited   Today my guest is Ray DiPerna, who is an IP attorney admitted in California and New York.
