SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, Jeremy and Andrew engage in a lively debate about the merits of hardwood floors versus matted floors in martial arts training. They share personal experiences, discuss the pros and cons of each surface, and explore how these choices impact safety, realism, and training effectiveness. The conversation delves into subjective preferences and the versatility of training spaces. TAKEAWAYS The discussion is not about which surface is better. Hardwood floors are generally more stable and easier to clean. Matted floors are considered safer for certain techniques. Training on hardwood can feel more connected to the ground. The energy of a training space can influence performance. Training intensity should dictate the choice of surface. Accessibility of training spaces is a key consideration.       This episode is sponsored by Martialytics.

In this episode of the Rocksolid Families podcast, hosts Linda Hutchinson and her husband discuss the importance of emotional comfort for children. They emphasize the role of parents, caregivers, and educators in providing this comfort, especially during challenging emotional moments. The hosts set the stage for a conversation about how emotional comfort can significantly impact a child's long-term emotional health.•Definition: Emotional comfort is described as the support and reassurance that parents and caregivers provide to children when they are experiencing intense emotions, such as sadness, anger, or frustration.•Importance: The hosts convey that while it is crucial to provide comfort, it is equally important not to over-coddle children. They discuss the balance of creating a safe emotional environment from which children can venture into the “choppy waters” of life.The Need for Emotional Regulation•Understanding Emotions: Children often lack the vocabulary to articulate their emotions. The hosts stress the importance of helping children identify and understand their emotions, which is a vital part of emotional regulation.•Consequences of Poor Emotional Support: Without adequate emotional comfort and regulation, children may struggle with self-soothing and coping mechanisms, leading to long-term emotional difficulties.Introducing the MATS FrameworkThe hosts introduce a simple framework—MATS—to help caregivers respond to children's emotional needs effectively.MATS Breakdown1.M - Mention:Observation: The first step is to acknowledge the child's emotional state by mentioning what you see. For example, stating, “You look really upset right now,” helps the child feel seen and understood.Body Language: Observing body language is crucial; it provides insight into how children  are feeling, especially if they are non-verbal.2.A - Ask:Curiosity: The next step involves asking questions to validate the child's feelings. Encouraging children to express themselves is essential for emotional processing.Avoiding Dismissal: The hosts emphasize that caregivers should refrain from downplaying the child's feelings and instead validate their emotions to help them feel heard.3.T - Touch:Appropriate Connection: The framework includes physical touch, such as hugs or gentle touches, which can offer comfort. However, the hosts advise being cautious with physical contact, especially if it is not a common practice in the household.Creating Comfort: Physical presence can help children feel secure, aiding in emotional regulation.4.S - Stay:Presence: Finally, staying with the child until their emotional needs are met is crucial. This involves sitting in silence if necessary and showing that you are there for them without rushing to “fix” the situation.Long-Term Impact: The hosts stress that this steady presence creates a sense of security and helps children understand that they are not alone in their struggles.https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

What's up, nerds? This week on the podcast, Maryland Phil joins me for a deep dive into Marvel's Thunderbolts—or the New Avengers? We unpack our thoughts and feelings on the recent film, including our personal ratings out of 10 and what the name change might signal for the MCU's future. We take a closer look at each character's arc and background, drawing comparisons to Suicide Squad along the way. Our conversation expands into a broader critique of the MCU's various phases, its growing collection of TV shows, and how the Multiverse Saga might eventually wrap up. From standout character development to some serious storytelling missteps, we break it all down with our “Good, Bad, and Ugly” segment. And because we can't help ourselves, there's also a random sidebar about Tim Burton. It's chaotic, nerdy, and packed with opinions—just the way we like it.

What's going on, happy people? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Madeleine Avila, a fierce BJJ blue belt competitor from Crazy 88 MMA. Madeleine shares the story of how she got started in jiu-jitsu and what continues to drive her competitive fire. We explore the importance of team culture and support, and how she sharpens her mindset and technique. Madeleine gives insight into her strategic approach to game planning, as well as the process of identifying and working on holes in her game. She opens up about how she balances mastering the fundamentals with exploring more advanced techniques, and how she mentally prepares for competition—battling nerves and staying focused. We also dig into one of the toughest lessons she's learned from stepping onto the mats, and how she unwinds outside of the competitive scene. And of course, we wrap it up with a round of rapid-fire questions to close out.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Emma Turner and Jon Hutchinson are reunited with co-host Tom Sherrington, returning from an extended break with fresh insights, global experiences, and a surprising new passion: yoga. Together, they reflect on what's changed—and what hasn't—in education during Tom's time away, diving into international comparisons, curriculum development, and the evolving culture around professional development. Tom shares what struck him on visits to schools around the world, and why he believes the UK remains a world leader in research-informed practice. The conversation zooms in and out, from cold calling and classroom talk routines to reimagining school leadership and restoring teacher autonomy. Emma and Jon also explore the growing tension between digital delivery and what Emma calls “analogue teaching”—real-time modelling, physical resources, and authentic interactions. “Modelling is the bridge,” Emma says, “between great curriculum content and what we know about how we learn.” In a rich and wide-ranging discussion, the trio call for a renewed focus on professionalism, collaboration, and the power of collective learning—reminding us all why great teaching still matters. Tom Sherrington has worked in schools as a teacher and leader for 30 years and is now a consultant specialising in teacher development and curriculum & assessment planning. He regularly contributes to conferences and CPD sessions locally and nationally and is busy working in schools and colleges across the UK and around the world.

Jonas ist zurück und das geht natürlich mit einer sachlich fundierten Kritik der letzten, nicht nur personell reduzierten Folge einher. Warum Luki feige ist und warum Mats trotz eines „Weltgags“ den Weg zu Mariä Verkündigung verpasst hat wissen wir immer noch nicht. Das sind allerdings nicht die einzigen verpassen Chancen: Wie konnten die drei sechs Jahre lang einen Maskottchen-Wettlauf verpassen? Als Strafe werden jetzt alle einen Marathon laufen und dabei etwas backen und wenn sie das auch bewältigt haben, kommt der verdiente, ganz persönliche Zapfenstreich.

En fyra man (och kvinna) stark panel ses denna vecka i studion. Tove, Niklas, Jonas och Mats inleder med ett antal lyssnarmail - mycket uppskattat! Därefter kommer ett starkt nyhetsblock, om bland annat GTA6-förseningen, Borderlands 4, Ecco the Dolphin-uppföljaren samt om en eventuell handhållen Xbox från Asus. Därefter vidtar ett digert spelblock med Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, som både Mats och Niklas (och Malin, som inte är fysiskt närvarande, men som ändå är med oss i själen) spelat. Mats har spelat Oblivion Remastered och Lost Skies, och Tove berättar om sina slutliga instryck av Blue Prince. Till sist en Koreakoll med Tove, denna gång om filmen Revelations. Och så får Mats avslöja exakt varför han håller med Peter (eller inte?) om Daredevil Born Again, vars första säsong nyligen avslutades på Disney Plus. Varsågod och Förlåt, Puss Hej!

Det här är berättelsen om den osannolika duon som tog Sverige med storm under 90-talet. En resa som gjort ont, men fått gå ändå. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är tidig onsdagsmorgon i december 1997. Ett av landets mest populära band ska spela en av sina nya låtar i TV4:as Nyhetsmorgon. Men sångaren Håkan Hemlin är ett vrak. Huden är askgrå, han tittar konstant ner i golvet och svarar så kort det bara går på programledarnas frågor.– Visst är detta fortfarande Nordman?– Jo, det är väl det.Under dom senaste åren har bandet Nordman tagit hela Sverige med storm och debutskivan sålde över en halv miljon exemplar. Ett tag kändes det som att nästan vartenda hushåll i Sverige hade plattan. Idén var enkel, ändå hade ingen annan tänkt tanken. Att blanda folkmusik och pop. Men den omedelbara framgången och stjärnstatusen som följde har blivit för mycket för sångaren Håkan, som nu är långt ner i ett amfetaminmissbruk. Inför dagens sändning har han redan missat soundcheck och låtframträdandet känns minst sagt själlöst. Under intervjun blir det istället duons andra medlem, Mats Wester, som får svara på nästan alla frågor.– Hade du kunnat drömma om hur det skulle tas emot?– Nä, förväntningarna var ganska lågt ställda för debutanter säljer inte så många plattor, och det hade inte vi heller räknat med att göra.Frustrationen kring Håkans oberäkneliga beteende har byggts upp under flera års tid, och den här sändningen blir droppen för Mats. Han är trött på Håkans beteende och lägger ner projektet Nordman. Efter att dom lämnat TV4:as studio kommer de båda vapendragarna inte att höras på sju år.Medverkande: Håkan Hemlin, Mats Wester, Py Bäckman och fanet Kajsa.Programmet är gjort av Robin Jonsson våren 2025Producent Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonProgramledare Siri HillP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från Nyhetsmorgon ( TV4, 1997), Striptease (SVT, 1994) och ZTV (1994).

What's up, party people? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by my good friend and neighbor, Dana Zornes, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends fight talk, kettlebell competition, parenting, and personal growth. We kick things off with UFC chatter, diving into the rumors surrounding the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall matchup, follow-up conversation about UFC 314, and older UFC fights and how the sport has evolved over the years. From there, Dana gives an in-depth look at the world of kettlebell sport—breaking down team structures, competition divisions, and the unique lifts that make up the Kettlebell Sport World League. We also talk about the mindset of chasing numbers in the weight room, staying organized, and raising active kids in a world that sometimes doesn't value physicality. The episode wraps with an honest discussion about bullying, resilience, and how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can empower young people. Whether you're a fight fan, a lifter, or a parent, this one hits home.   To keep up with Dana, head over to @razebells on Instagram.

We did many recordings at the Mid America Truck Show and amongst them was the delightful Miss Flatbed Red and her ‘Lost in the 70's' husband Chris Budke. These two live and breath historic trucking and a lot of you will already know Red from her YouTube interviews, that she has been conducting with ATHS Members for quite a few years – they are an incredible couple and we are indebted to the help that they gave us while over there. You'll love their story and undeniable passion.

https://jo.my/2506ai Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Footwear and Floor Mats Preventing slips, trips, and falls is key to maintaining a safe and productive environment in any facility. While many factors contribute to injury prevention, two often overlooked areas are the importance of proper Footwear and the strategic use of floor mats. These simple measures can dramatically reduce incidents and promote a more comfortable and secure workspace. Choosing the proper Footwear and using the correct floor mats is more than just a comfort decision—it's a safety requirement. Employees spend long hours on their feet, often on complex, slippery surfaces. Without proper support and traction, fatigue and accidents become more likely. A solid Safety Culture recognizes that small investments in these areas significantly impact injury prevention. Here are a few tips to assist you with improving safety through footwear and floor mat use: Select Appropriate Footwear: Employees should wear shoes designed for the facility environment. Look for slip-resistant soles and firm arch support to reduce the risk of falls and fatigue. Inspect Footwear Regularly: Shoes wear out over time. Encourage employees to check their Footwear for smooth soles, broken laces, or damaged material. Replace worn shoes immediately to maintain complete protection. Use Anti-Fatigue Mats Where Needed: Cushioned mats in areas where employees stand for long periods can help reduce leg and back strain. Less fatigue means better focus and fewer accidents. Install Slip-Resistant Mats: Use mats with non-slip surfaces where moisture or spills are common. These mats improve traction, and help channel away liquids that could cause slips. Maintain Floor Mats Properly: If left unchecked, mats can shift, curl, or wear down, creating tripping hazards. Regular cleaning and inspection ensure that mats stay in place and are effective. Investing in the proper Footwear and maintaining quality matting solutions helps protect everyone in the facility. It reduces strain on workers' bodies, lowers the risk of serious injury, and keeps productivity high. A safe and comfortable foundation underfoot builds a stronger and more focused workforce. Paying attention to these small details shows a commitment to safety and helps create a workplace where everyone feels supported, literally and figuratively. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time – have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #FootwearSafety #SlipTripFallPrevention #Ergonomics

In this episode, we explore the laws concerning moving different types of ladders on Shabbat, based on their use and size, as well as the rules for handling palm branches and stones designated for firewood or seating. We delve into the principles of muktzeh and when an item's status can change through thought or action before Shabbat.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back! This week on the podcast, I sit down with Erin Herle—a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), and holder of a Master's in Sport & Performance Psychology. Together, we explore how mental coaching can transform an athlete's performance, how coaches can use psychology to lead more effectively, and why grapplers must train their minds just as diligently as their bodies. Erin breaks down what mental coaching truly is—and how it differs from therapy or everyday motivation. We dive into the common mental blocks she sees in combat athletes, and how to tackle competition anxiety and the fear of failure. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone looking to strengthen your mental game, this conversation is packed with insight you won't want to miss.   To keep up with Erin, head over to @erinherle on Instagram or you can check out @trainyamind also on Instagram.

This week on Overdrive Radio we track back to the Mid-America Trucking Show and the big news for the trucking community from podcast sponsor Howes. The Howes Hall of Fame added its 12th member when it honored Mother Trucker Yoga proprietor and fitness and wellness coach Hope Zvara at the show. You heard part of Zvara's story when she was featured here on Overdrive Radio in conversation with Long Haul Paul Marhoefer a couple years back: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15448049/the-qualityoflife-benefits-of-movement-introducing-hope-zvara There, queried about the scourge of anxiety, depression and other mental health ailments throughout America, she asked a simple question -- "What's if it's not a mental health crisis? What if it's a movement crisis?" In that podcast, and here, she detailed her step-by-step program for fitness through basic yoga techniques drivers can do in-cab, around the truck, at points throughout a day for an approachable journey toward better physical health. Mental health, too. Zvara well knows the connections between the two and isn't shy of stressing them routinely with those she works with. She's combated mental stressors of various natures in her own life, using yoga practice toward that end. And she's now worked with an untold number of individual truck drivers to help them achieve their own goals. We got a little tutorial in her brand of “no mat necessary" yoga at the start of the Trucking Solutions Group's talk in the East Hall out at MATS on the final day. She led attendees through a series of stretches aimed simply at relieving the neck and upper-body tension so many of us face after a long day at the wheel or, in my case, typing away at the desk. Today on the podcast, hear the audio of Zvara's instruction on that mini-routine at the tail end, and otherwise buckle up for her story of helping truckers help themselves in health and wellness. And though Zvara's program is designed for simplicity, she's also well aware it's not exactly a simple matter for any of us. Hear how yoga and general phyiscal well-being got her through her own crisis, and into the work for which she's now honored as the latest member the Howes Hall of Fame. Nominate a deserving trucking industry participant for the Hall yourself, and browse all so honored todate, via https://howesproducts.com/hof Find Hope Zvara's Mother Trucker Yoga effort at this link, where today you can download a free guide to 11 helpful stretches: https://mothertruckeryoga.com

This episode explores the laws of moving items on Shabbat, focusing on remnants of rugs, worn cloths, and broken sandals. We discuss when an object retains usefulness and can still be moved, and when it becomes unusable and prohibited. Key principles such as the status of thrown-away items, differences between rich and poor regarding item importance, and practical cases like moving a shoe mold and handling a broken sandal are examined.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Emma Turner is joined by Shareen Wilkinson, Executive Director of Education at LEO Academy Trust, and author of books for both children and teachers. Shareen shares insights from her new book, Disciplinary Literacy in Primary Schools, offering a fresh, practical lens on reading, writing, and speaking across the curriculum. Together, they explore what it really means for primary pupils to “write like historians” or “speak like scientists,” and why disciplinary literacy isn't just a secondary school concern. Shareen explains how rich talk, purposeful writing, and deep subject knowledge can—and should—start in Early Years, and reflects on how flexible working and thoughtful use of edtech can empower teachers and support inclusion. From phonics to AI, this episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical strategies for educators leading literacy across the curriculum.Shareen is Executive Director of Education and leads on curriculum, teaching and learning and assessment across the LEO academy schools, as well as overseeing the central education team. Shareen has been in education for over 20 years and has fulfilled a wide range of senior leadership roles, including being an LA Lead Primary Adviser, English adviser and is still an education consultant to several organisations. Her subject specialisms are English, assessment, teaching and learning, and leadership. Shareen is an established educational author, writer and editor and has written educational resources and books for Hodder Education, DK children's books, Oxford University Press, Letts, Harper Collins and Teach Primary magazine.

Är talang en självklarhet för att skapa resultat? Inte nödvändigtvis enigt flera kunniga. Karriärcoachen @Charlotte Hågård definierar talang i en av sina böcker som ”en medfödd lätthet att tillägna sig en specifik förmåga eller färdighet”. Men om individen inte är motiverad att tillägna sig den specifika förmågan då?I dagens avsnitt för Lena, Lars och Mats ett resonemang om talang respektive flit. Häng med i tankegångarna hur man med motivation och flit kan bli riktigt bra på någonting samt hur man trots talang inte nödvändigtvis lyckas lika bra. Låt dig inspireras av hur du själv kan förbättra dina egna, eller dina anställdas, resultat oavsett talang eller flit.

What's up, y'all? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Coach Kevin Brewer, a U.S. Navy veteran turned Spartan athlete, mindset coach, and weight loss mentor with an inspiring story of resilience. Kevin opens up about his battle with injuries and illness, and the long, winding journey to reclaim his health through discipline and mindset work. We dive into the challenges of navigating today's overwhelming maze of health advice, online gurus, and misinformation, and Kevin shares how these experiences shaped his mission to help others cut through the noise. We talk about the often-overlooked biases in “healthy” eating advice, and the need for validation when building new habits. Kevin also offers insight into the world of Spartan Races—from how the courses are structured to what challenges him the most.

In this week's edition of Overdrive Radio, drop into our conversation with OOIDA Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh at the Mid-America Trucking Show. Pugh was fresh off a whirlwind round of a whole lot of other talking himself, including a MATS-opening breakfast panel discussion you heard here a couple weeks back, then prior to that on Wednesday the week of the truck show in the halls of Congress where he joined a panel of trucking and other industry reps to talk through significant issues ahead of the highway bill reauthorization due next year. Pugh made headlines for his urging of federal reps to get a handle on the scope of so-called “non-domiciled CDLs” issued to residents of foreign countries by states here in the U.S. for work OTR or in other industries on a temporary basis. It's an issue that's risen to prominence this year as attention to it has increased. It's but one of the issues Pugh addressed in Congressional testimony, likewise in what follows in the podcast, yet one we heard about also from trucker Teresa Brittain in the wake of MATS. English proficiency violations used to be treated by the Comercial Vehicle Safety Alliance of inspectors and industry as an out of service violation, yet when CVSA removed that out of service violation about a decade ago now, FMCSA subsequently relaxed guidance on how to enforce the violation itself. Paired with some DOT changes for states around non-domiciled CDLs that happened later, it seems to have gotten simpler for foreign country residents to come into the country to work over the road with a CDL. How many such people are working in the U.S. today? Nobody can really answer that question, as has been evident from Overdrive's Alex Lockie's ongoing reporting around the issue: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15741322/ Brittain flagged the importance of the English language proficiency regs, though, particularly when it comes to roadside inspections. She noted a conversation at MATS she herself had with Kentucky state truck enforcement about the issue. “How does any state law enforcement officer do an inspection on the truck if the driver cannot follow instructions to inspect it?” she asked. Inspectors told her essentially they can't inspect such an operator's truck, she said, “for their own safety. They told me they give 15 minutes after the initial request for the driver to contact their company and provide driver's license and required paperwork, then just let them go if the paperwork is compliant.” No inspection for the truck. Considering such dynamics, Terea Brittain then quipped, “Next inspection, I'm speaking Martian!” OOIDA along with some from the law enforcement community petitioned CVSA to return English proficiency to the out of service criteria, and CVSA's spring Workshop event is but one week away. Pugh noted owner-operators might stay tuned for any news on that front in the coming couple of weeks. Also in the podcast: RaceTrac Travel Centers Marketing Manager Nick LaFalce details growth in his company's mostly Southeast regional network of truck stops in what was once mainly just a fuel-stop network for automobile drivers. Since 2018, the RaceTrac company's been expanding high-flow diesel options and acquiring land to even add parking options within the network.

David Cronenwett is the owner of Helena Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a third-degree black belt under American Jiu-Jitsu legend Rafael Lovato Jr. David started his Jiu-Jitsu journey in Seattle in 1996, back when finding a place to train was like stumbling upon a secret society. Over the years, he's not only refined his own game but has shared this art with hundreds of students in Montana's capital city since opening his academy in 2016. But David's path to Jiu-Jitsu wasn't exactly a straight shot. He grew up in New Jersey, made his way west to study classical guitar at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle right as the grunge scene was taking over, and eventually found himself in Montana, drawn by the wilderness and a deep-rooted need for something more. That “something more” turned out to be a mix of conservation work, backcountry living, and, of course, Jiu-Jitsu—an art that would come to define much of his life. In this conversation, we go deep into the philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu: why it grabs certain people and won't let go, how it humbles you, how it teaches you to remain calm under pressure, and how it can serve as a vehicle for self-improvement. But beyond that, we explore how Jiu-Jitsu teaches lessons that stretch far beyond the mats—lessons about patience, resilience, adaptability, and how to wisely face challenges in life. We also talk about the importance of culture in an academy, how a good training environment can shape people beyond the gym, and how the shared purpose and community of Jiu-Jitsu has a way of bringing together folks from all walks of life. And for those of you who might be on the fence about trying Jiu-Jitsu, David has plenty to say about why it's never too late to start and how it can change not just how you move, but how you see the world. So whether you're a seasoned grappler or just curious about what makes this martial art so addictive, there's a lot to learn from this conversation.
