In this episode, Georgie sits down again with human performance coach Pete McKnight, a man with nearly 25 years' experience shaping Olympians, F1 drivers and world-class performers. Pete breaks down what “human performance” really is: a multi-dimensional blend of physiology, psychology, cognition and nutrition, and why the days of thinking fitness alone defines performance are long gone.He explains how the rise of specialist performance teams has transformed elite sport, moving from a lone strength coach to integrated units of physios, psychologists, nutritionists and data experts all pulling in the same direction. But the real magic, Pete says, isn't in assembling the biggest team; it's in getting them to collaborate, individualise and adapt around the athlete.Georgie and Pete dig into what the rest of us can learn from elite environments: clarity of goals, proper planning and, above all, relentless consistency. No shortcuts. No silver bullets. Just smart, sustained work.They also explore how technology and AI are reshaping training, from affordable diagnostics to data-driven programmes, and how the future hinges on understanding the athlete as much as the algorithm. Plus: fascinating insights from Pete's work across Formula One, defence and space on how humans and machines can truly perform together.________________________________The Performance People podcast, in partnership with J.P.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a packed mix of politics, music-industry tension, and raw family revelations, opening with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s official announcement that she’s running for U.S. Senate. The team breaks down the energy around her Dallas rally and what her entry could mean in a heated election climate as she positions herself as a fighter on cost-of-living, healthcare, and holding Trump accountable. From there, the show shifts into entertainment chatter as Gary With Da Tea stirs the pot over a quiet but growing tension between Beyoncé and Brandy, fueled by whispers that Bey attended multiple Brandy/Monica tour stops but noticeably avoided Brandy backstage — a rumor the cast debates fiercely, especially as fans speculate about long-standing industry politics, sibling commentary, and behind-the-scenes misunderstandings. Later, the crew reacts to Shannon Sharpe’s emotional therapy-session confession about his lifelong difficulty with relationships and lingering wounds from parental abandonment — a conversation that leads into a reflection on how unresolved childhood pain can echo into adulthood. And closing the show on an especially heavy note, the cast discusses the resurfaced clip of Brian McKnight Jr. describing how his dying brother begged their father simply to say “I love you,” only to be denied, a moment that stunned social media and reopened public criticism about the elder McKnight’s treatment of his older children.

This week on Media McKnight, Rob McKnight breaks down one of the biggest behind-the-scenes shake-ups in Australian radio — the fallout from Ash Bradnam's axing from NOVA Brisbane after 21 years, the confirmed departure of Nikki Osborne, and the return of Susie O'Neil to breakfast. Rob also takes aim at the misleading “quit live on air” headlines and explains what actually happened behind the scenes — and why clickbait reporting is eroding trust in media coverage. Plus, a deep dive into one of the most significant global media battles in years: Netflix's blockbuster acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount's hostile takeover move, and what all of this could mean for Network 10, local investment, and the future of AFL and NRL broadcast rights in Australia.

Also in this episode: – The escalating feud between 50 Cent and Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the explosive Netflix docuseries that's reignited it – The end of the ACRAs and why the new replacement radio and podcast awards are pricing out independents – A brutally honest new segment: “Things I Don't Give a Sh*t About” – And a trip into the McKnight Tonight archives with rare 2011 footage from the 9NEWS and A Current Affair teams If you care about Australian media, radio, television, streaming, sports rights, and industry power plays, this episode is essential viewing.

Marc Lamont messy vibes: After Brian McKnight's clash with Joe Budden over family drama, Marc stirred the pot—dropping a Patreon interview with McKnight's son. Unc's fingerprints are all over this one. Sean Combs Netflix doc: 50 Cent delivered, putting Diddy's story front and center. Did the documentary land, or is it cap?

Comfort Keepers CEO Natalie Black talked about a range of issues for the podcast. Besides the importance of supporting family caregivers, Black talked about Comfort Keepers becoming a fully franchised home care model last year. She also welcomes legislation in states that regulate home care as it raises the playing field. Meanwhile, the workforce shortage remains the biggest challenge for major personal care franchisor. “Having a reputation as a good employer is just as important as having a reputation as a good provider,” she said. Among the workforce issues Black is paying close attention to is the Department of Labor's proposed companionship exemption rule. If finalized, it would mean certain home care workers would be exempt from federal overtime and minimum wage requirements in the Fair Labor Standards Act. The industry has changed a lot in the last 10 years, Black said. It's fast-paced, there is a lot of competition and there is new technology to incorporate into operations. Going forward, she sees more opportunity for specialization in the vein of the company's new Positive Pathways program, a person-centered approach for caring for clients with Alzheimer's and dementia. In the future, there is the possibility of more specialization around respite services, post-acute care and post-procedural care, she said.Follow us on social media:X: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow Comfort Keepers on social media:Facebook: Comfort Keepers Home OfficeLinkedIn: Comfort KeepersInstagram: comfortkeepersofficialShow contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; Natalie Black, CEO, Comfort Keepers Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Unwritten Chapters – Life After Trauma, I sit down at the mic as a Canadian veteran and VAC client to talk about something a lot of us are feeling in our gut right now: the Liberal government's plan to strip $4.23 billion in “savings” from Veterans Affairs Canada over the next four years—and the way Minister of Veterans Affairs Jill McKnight insists that somehow doesn't count as a “cut.”We'll unpack what Budget 2025 actually says, including the plan to “adjust” medical cannabis benefits by dropping the VAC reimbursement cap from $8.50 to $6.00 a gram, a change Ottawa says will save about $4.4 billion over four years by “aligning with market prices.” On paper, VAC's overall budget line might still show an increase, but for real people trying to manage PTSD, chronic pain, and day-to-day functioning, these “efficiencies” land as very real reductions in support.I talk candidly about:Watching the Minister play word games about “reinvesting” and “modernizing benefits” on Remembrance Day, while veterans stand on parade being told they're “never forgotten.”What these changes look like from the other side of the counter: phone calls, forms, delays, appeals, and the slow grind of trying to hang on to your VAC benefits when you're already exhausted.My own experience navigating Veterans Affairs Canada with PTSD, injuries, and disability claims—and how policy decisions made in Ottawa actually show up in a veteran's kitchen when the mail arrives.The emotional whiplash of being publicly honoured on one hand, while quietly being told your care is where they'll “find savings” on the other.This isn't a legal breakdown or financial advice—it's a lived-experience reaction from inside the system. If you're a Canadian veteran, family member, or ally trying to make sense of what these so-called “savings” mean in real life, this episode is for you.Buy the Books: IndigoFollow Me: InstagramEmail Me: Contact

Tonya shares her roots in Detroit activism, lessons from community leaders who shaped her understanding of philanthropy as “an active verb,” and her belief that funders must embrace—not shy away from—power to change systems. She urges foundations to reject fear and isolation in the face of political attacks, reminding listeners that “silence isolates, and solidarity shields.”Tonya and Rusty also discuss how McKnight has transformed under her leadership—expanding its grantmaking to historic levels, adopting bold investment and climate commitments, and launching the $5 billion GroundBreak Coalition to build wealth for communities of color in the Twin Cities. She offers candid insights on trust-based philanthropy, supporting nonprofit workers, and how the Unite in Advance initiative is helping the social sector stand strong against coordinated threats. This episode is a master class in courageous, values-driven leadership in philanthropy.Guest Bio:Tonya Allen is a leader and a change agent with a passion for co-creating an equitable, sustainable world.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they reflect on the legacy of the late former Vice President Dick Cheney, slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for trying to undermine the Supreme Court, and highlight more deranged behavior from the left, this time targeting Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy.First, they examine the long and influential career of Dick Cheney, from his early days in the Ford administration to serving as Defense Secretary during the Gulf War and later as one of the most consequential vice presidents in U.S. history. There will be considerable debate on the right over his legacy in the Iraq War and his endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024. Jim also tells us about a special dinner he had with the Cheneys shortly after the 2004 election.Next, they slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for his latest comments clearly aimed at delegitimizing the U.S. Supreme Court, all because he's frustrated by the right-leaning decisions coming from the court. Holder is also among the people urging Democrats to gerrymander their congressional even more heading into the 2026 midtermsFinally, they recoil at the vile voicemail left for Sen. Sheehy by a woman who is running for local office in Montana. In the message, she hopes Sheehy contracts pancreatic cancer and dies quickly because he supported the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill. Jim says after Charlie Kirk's murder, the Jay Jones scandal, and now this, there are a lot of people becoming detached from reality over politics.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.

An economist says Labour's proposed capital gains tax won't stop house prices rising. The party wants gains on commercial and residential property to be taxed 28 percent, with revenue going into the health sector including free doctor visits. It excludes the family home and inheritances. Opes Partners Resident Economist Ed McKnight told Mike Hosking that the tax is often thought as a house price killer, but that's not the case. He says in Australia since they introduced the tax, house prices went up 6.5 percent on average and in the UK they went up by 8 percent a year.

Florida is the state most often hit by hurricanes, and with roughly 700 nursing homes, year-round emergency planning and preparedness training are imperatives. Building on a dramatic weather year in 2024 — three major storms made landfall, including two in the same area, back-to-back — the Florida Health Care Association this month published a new resource for its members and long-term care providers much further afield. The Emergency Preparedness in Long Term Care report acknowledges that three major hurricanes and resulting evacuations put providers' emergency planning responsibilities “to the test.” But time-sensitive decisions using predetermined procedures and solid communication plans developed months before those emergencies were critical, said co-author Kristen Knapp, FHCA's senior director of strategy and communications. “All emergencies are local, so those relationships with your local emergency managers, your local utility providers, those are so critical during blue sky experiences, when there's not a storm threatening,” she tells McKnight's in this podcast episode, recorded at the American Health Care Association's annual convention in Las Vegas. Storms aren't the only thing the report examines and offers tips on. It addresses proactive preparation, training implementation and important considerations such as transfer trauma that providers in any state can use to enhance their own emergency planning efforts — for a range of natural and manmade events. “One of the things that happened this past year is a significant power outage. … You need to be prepared for that. You know, we have tornadoes, we have wildfires in Florida. There's cybersecurity threats,” she says. “Making sure that you are training your staff, that your comprehensive emergency preparedness plan that your facility has is inclusive of other emergencies besides a hurricane is really critical.” Listen in for more tips on preparing, a day-by-day strategy to get ready for a predicted weather threat, and more insights on helping residents and staff weather any kind of storm, both physically and emotionally.

Nurse practitioner Judi Lacinak has spent more than two decades working with patients living with HIV, the last three with those needing long-term or post-acute care. She's both a clinical expert and a passionate advocate for better HIV care. That makes her an ideal candidate to teach others how to treat patients, understand the risks and deliver treatment and services while preserving dignity. During a recent visit to Broadway House for Continuing Care, McKnight's Long-Term Care News asked Lacinak for strategies that can help build confidence for new caregivers. For new staff, she says, training on bloodborne pathogens, infection control, standard precautions, enhanced barrier precautions and various types of isolation are critical. They can improve care for patients and reduce fear or misunderstanding among frontline team members. “I think back to the '80s and the '90s when somebody had HIV and they were put in a room in isolation and they were in there by themselves because we as healthcare providers didn't know,” she tells McKnight's Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas. “But nowadays it's different. You walk into a room, you're going to treat that patient who's HIV-positive the same as you would treat the patient who's in the bed next to them, who's not,” she explains. “Think of it as a chronic illness, and if I can manage your high blood pressure, I can manage HIV.” Lacinak, a nurse educator, also offers advice on how to educate patients to be better advocates for themselves, especially amid continued advances in the medications that control the virus and support their immune systems. And in this final piece of McKnight's HIV in LTC series, Lacinak also takes a few minutes to remember a short-stay patient whose life she touched — and whom she later encountered thriving after treatment. “I really think that it's a privilege to take care of patients here. And I try to get that through to student nurses, when they come through here, that somebody is trusting their family member or their loved one into your hands to be a caregiver to them,” she says. “That's a privilege that we can't take lightly.” Listeners of this special McKnight's Newsmakers podcast will come away with actionable insights and an uplifting dose of inspiration.

Joe Shega, chief medical officer for VITAS Healthcare, supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' initiative to ensure that hospice beneficiaries have a smooth, uninterrupted, high-quality, highly coordinated hospice experience. Such an experience, he noted, could occur through traditional hospice or Medicare Advantage. But there are certain non-negotiables: There must be access to hospice care as well as safeguarding of the pillars of hospice, which include frequency of touches from multiple disciplines. He also talked about problems involving the now-halted Special Focus Program. One of the problems of the program was it conflated the issues of quality hospice care with fraud, waste and abuse. These are two unique and distinct issues. Other topics discussed included the new Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation (HOPE) assessment tool, which was released on Oct. 1. It allows for real-time assessments at admission and then two times within the first 30 days, Shega said. He noted there have been challenges with the rollout as it coincided with the launch of the new Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System. To be successful, HOPE requires adjustments of workflow and scaling. To improve hospice uptake in minority communities, it's important to make sure the hospice team mirrors the community being served and ensure there are individualized care plans so patients and families feel supported on their end-of-life care journeys, he said.Follow us on social media:X: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow VITAS Healthcare on social media:Facebook: VITAS HealthcareLinkedIn: VITAS HealthcareInstagram: vitashospiceShow contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; Joe Shega, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Vitas Healthcare Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Home Invader: A 30-Year Fly Fishing LegacyIn this episode of The Butcher Shop, host Marvin Cash dives deep into one of fly fishing's most versatile streamer patterns with its creator, Doug McKnight. Calling in from Blacksmith Lodge in Punta Herrero, Mexico, Doug shares the complete story behind the Home Invader—from its origins on Pennsylvania spring creeks to its evolution into a deadly pattern for everything from Yellowstone brown trout to backcountry tarpon.Doug McKnight's Streamer ExpertiseDoug McKnight brings three decades of streamer innovation to this fly fishing podcast, with patterns proven across multiple species and water types. Based in Livingston, Montana, Doug guides on the Yellowstone River and has adapted his signature patterns for both freshwater predators and saltwater gamefish. His design philosophy draws from legends Bob Clouser and Bob Popovics, emphasizing natural movement and practical fishability.What You'll Learn: Home Invader FundamentalsListeners gain insider knowledge on the Home Invader's creation story, including the accidental discovery that combined pheasant marabou, Australian possum fur and Clouser-style lead eyes into a deadly baitfish imitation. Doug explains material selection—from sourcing premium pheasant marabou to choosing between possum, arctic fox and coyote fur for different fly sizes. He breaks down common tying mistakes, particularly over-dressing with fur, and shares his preferred method for securing lead eyes with thread wraps and Zap-A-Gap.Featured Techniques: Fishing the Home InvaderThe core revelation: the Home Invader excels at slow presentations in fast water. Doug introduces his "do nothing" retrieve—casting with a 250-300 grain sink tip, getting tight to the fly and letting current provide all the action. This technique targets pressured brown trout holding in heavy Yellowstone River runs where traditional fast strips fail. Doug details his complete system: 7-8 weight rods, 24-foot sink tips, 15-pound Maxima butt sections and loop-knotted fluorocarbon tippets. Color selection follows water clarity—natural olives and tans in clear conditions, bright yellows and chartreuse in muddy water.Yellowstone River Streamer StrategiesDoug reveals how Montana's fishing pressure has changed his approach over 20 years. Fish now occupy extremely difficult lies in heavy current where precise boat positioning matters more than ever. The Home Invader's inherent movement allows effective coverage of these spots with minimal manipulation—critical when you get only one cast to pressured fish. Doug discusses adapting fly weight by pairing different grain sink tips with varied lead eye sizes, creating everything from dredging presentations to near-surface swims.Beyond Trout: Saltwater AdaptationsThe episode includes a bonus discussion of the Home Slice—Doug's weightless Home Invader variation for tarpon and permit. Using plastic eyes instead of lead, the Home Slice swims right-side-up and has proven deadly for backcountry species. Doug also shares his current permit experiment: fishing floating crab patterns over sargassum weed mats with explosive visual strikes.Listen Now for Proven Streamer TacticsWhether you're chasing Yellowstone browns, smallmouth bass or backcountry permit, this episode delivers actionable insights from a pattern designer who's refined his craft for 30 years. Doug's willingness to share detailed techniques—from leader formulas to retrieve cadences—makes this essential listening for serious streamer anglers.SponsorsThanks to Schultz Outfitters, TroutRoutes and

I used to have a Zen proverb a day calendar, the ones where each day you tear off a new sheet that has another saying that was meant to make you contemplate, get in touch, consider, explore, think. My years always started off well, but by about June I was just ripping pages off trying to catch up to the day I was supposed to be on. I honestly think I got more mileage out of my Dad Joke a Day calendar that ended up replacing the Zen one in an ensuing year. But then again maybe there is something Zen about Dad Jokes.One Zen proverb that stuck with me was, “Our eyes were originally right but went wrong because of teachers.” I have to admit that one stung a bit. Speaking on behalf of all educators, we all want to think that we are positively contributing to how our students see the world. But do we? There is the danger of formal education introducing “fixed thinking” or singular ways of conceptualizing the world around us. Students are taught what we been taught and know. Problem is, what we know might only be one dimension of how to view things.To bring in another saying, “If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail.” Thinking of “hammer” instructs how the object is to be used. But if you have no idea what a hammer was, then you could envision many different uses for it. Sometimes not knowing is the key to progress.Now it is true from a design perspective that the way a hammer is built can instruct on how it should be used. There is something that looks like a handle. The heavy end has a flat surface which can infer pounding. But creative and unconstrained thinking can see so many ways to use this object.To throw in another saying, Ignorance is bliss, and from that we might also say paradigms can obscure. Thomas Kuhn in his book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” examines how established paradigms can stymie progress and advancing knowledge because they limit our ability to what is in front of us. Thus, part of the advancement of science and our understanding is shedding off what teachers have taught us to be true. Rather than just teaching paradigms and how things are, teachers need to do more teaching on how to retain a beginner's mind and connect that with envision what is possible, and not just what is believed to be known. Alan Gregerman is here on Experience by Design to talk about his new book coming out on October 14th “The Wisdom of Ignorance,” in which he examines what we can gain by letting go of what we think we know. Alan is trained as an Urban Geographer, as he was long interested in exploring cities of the world. While a student at Northwestern, he worked under the tutelage of John McKnight, one of the founders of the Assets-Based Community Development Institute, and I will add a person I also knew and took a workshop from on the ABCD approach. McKnight's work continues to influence Alan, as well as me. We talk about his work in helping companies be creative through exploring urban environments in undirected ways. He describes how new employees are a very valuable resource because of how they bring new eyes to organizations. He notes that half of all the companies on the Fortune 500 list 25 years ago don't exist today, and how that is in part linked to their belief in old paradigms. Alan emphasizes the importance of having teams of diverse perspectives and experiences in order to help see things differently. Also in keeping with assets-based community development, everyone has a gift that they can contribute.
