In this episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, William Vanderbloemen unpacks one of the most common but overlooked challenges in leadership: invisible lids. These growth limiters—whether personal, organizational, or team-related—often hold leaders back without them even realizing it. Growth lids are often invisible but real. Flexibility fades with time—stay intentional. Time management is a leader's greatest asset. Mediocre hires = long-term team ceiling. Don't settle—anticipate and outgrow your lids. Whether you're just starting out or you're decades into your leadership journey, this episode will help you name the lids that might be holding you back—and how to plan ahead to grow beyond them.

Send us a textWho would emerge victorious in a fight between your favorite TV dads, sidekicks, and everyday characters? That's the question at the heart of our hilariously chaotic "Average Joe Beatdown" tournament, where we pit characters like Fonzie, Marshall Erickson, and Hank Schrader against each other in increasingly absurd showdowns.The rules are simple: no characters with military backgrounds or supernatural abilities—just regular folks thrown into extraordinary combat scenarios. What begins as a straightforward tournament quickly descends into delightful madness as the competitors face off in locations ranging from the Batcave to Santa's Workshop, wielding everything from brass knuckles to saxophones.The tournament takes unexpected turns when Marshall Erickson, the gentle giant from How I Met Your Mother, goes on a shocking winning streak. prompting increasingly bewildered reactions from us as hosts.  Throughout these fictional battles, we debate each character's hidden strengths, unlikely skills, and potential strategies. Would Ron Swanson's woodworking expertise translate to combat prowess? Could Dr. Cox's medical knowledge give him an edge in a fight? These questions lead to passionate debates, surprising insights, and moments of pure comedic gold.By the final duel on a skyscraper rooftop, only one character can claim the title of ultimate Average Joe champion. Listen now to discover who emerges victorious, and let us know your dream match ups for our next tournament!

They discuss their initial impressions, character development, and the film's themes, particularly focusing on Yelena Bolova's journey. The conversation delves into the humor and emotional depth of the film, comparing it to other Marvel movies, and concludes with their final thoughts on its overall impact. The conversation shifts to Sentry, exploring his struggles with addiction and the duality of his character as both a powerful villain and a relatable figure. The theme of friendship emerges as a crucial element in overcoming personal demons, culminating in a discussion about the film's portrayal of mental health and the importance of support in facing inner darkness. ----------Highlights:0:00 ‘Thunderbolts*' Introduction11:46 Opening Scene Analysis16:37 Yelena Bolova's Inner Conflict23:11 Exploring the Villains: Valentina Allegra de Fontaine31:59 The Complexity of Sentry: A Villain's Struggle47:31 Confronting Inner Demons in the Climax54:52 The Red Guardian59:34 Chapter: John Walker: The Flawed Hero1:06:25 Taskmaster's Finale1:10:45 Bucky Barnes1:17:53 The Lasting Impact of the Film#thunderbolts #thunderbolts* #buckybarnes #yelenabolova #redguardian #wintersoldier #ghost #mcu #marvelcinematicuniverse #podcast #film #filmthoughts #alostplot #void #thevoid #sentry #valentina #defontaine #villains #villainarc #superheroes #teamfight

Josh Vernier joined The Drive to breakdown the poor week the Royals have had and their offensive issues.

This week it's the episode no one has been waiting for, as the Regular Joes share their thoughts on Kraven: The Hunter the most recent Spider-Man adjacent film from Sony pictures. The film, which underperformed even Morbius (2022) has left some people thinking, maybe Madame Webb (2024) wasn't as bad as we thought. Actually, It was. On the plus side, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who has suited up as both Quicksilver and Kick Ass will likely be back in tights as soon as this film is forgotten. Which could be by the time you hear this episode. There's also the usual Random Topics, and a round of What's in the box. Thanks for listening!

All's fair in love and war—and sales. At the end of the day, what really matters is whether the deal closed or if you were left holding the bag.  Did you make quota this quarter? Did you crush your numbers? Or did you fall short? If you missed quota, chances are you played it too safe. You followed the so-called 'best practices'—the ones that average reps cling to. Top performers don't just follow the playbook. They know when to bend the rules, take calculated risks, and do what it takes to win. Be a Pattern Breaker The greatest don't stick to rules and expectations. They forge their own path in a sea of conformity. They constantly reinvent themselves and their practices to push boundaries and find new ways to win. What you won't see is an elite sales rep following the same script day after day and struggling to escape mediocrity. As venture capitalist Mike Maples Jr. put it on this week's Sales Gravy Podcast, “People who are winning are the ones who change the rules and tell people how to think about it.” Now's the time to shake up your own sales routine and adopt the practices of Ultra High Performers. Fanatically Prospect You don't have an option—prospect every day, or get left behind. The pipe is life. If you're not feeding it, you're starving. Fanatical prospectors don't just carve out time—they demand it. Every single day. You make calls, period. Distractions? They don't exist.  But too many sales reps think they need to follow traditional suggestions: Prioritize research over calls; call when you think your prospects will be available; warm leads up with social touches and emails. These “rules” are screaming to be broken. There's no room in sales to avoid cold calling. The telephone is still the single most powerful weapon you have when it comes to selling. Sure, the norm is to hate cold calling, avoid the phone, and send out dozens of emails because it's easy. Rule breakers don't do easy—they're on the phone every day. The best reps value prospecting and know that—even when they're closing deals—they need to be watching out for tomorrow. Mediocre reps make fewer calls, qualify fewer prospects, and close fewer deals. Don't be mediocre.  Ruthlessly Disqualify; Pursue Those Who Will Buy Never waste your time on a prospect who simply won't pull the trigger. There are lots of tire kickers out there who will intentionally or unintentionally waste your time. Recognize early the deals that will never be done. Most sales reps chase every lead because they're told to ‘always be closing.' The best reps break that rule by disqualifying early. Be intentional in your discovery; ask all pertinent questions before spending precious time wooing a lead.  You don't have time to find out weeks down the road that your prospect wasn't the decision maker or that there's no budget for the deal. You can even disqualify before you start prospecting. When generating cold calling lists, zero in on a subset of your market that is most likely to buy—don't squander energy parsing through every single business simply to tell your boss you called everyone.  Jerome, a media rep in Texas, covered all of Austin. Instead of cold calling tens of thousands of businesses, he zeroed in on the ones most likely to be in the market for his services and who could afford them. He weaned out businesses that weren't strictly his target demographic and saved himself thousands of useless calls.  Break the norm by cutting deadweight fast. Play the Long Game  Mediocre reps make useless calls and let the fear of annoying prospects sabotage their follow up game.  Forget the outdated advice about not being ‘too persistent.' Elite pros break that rule and keep showing up until they hear ‘yes' or ‘no.' They bend the rules of social niceties (i.e. don't annoy your prospect) and keep calling, no matter how long it takes. Xant found that 50% of sales happen after the 5th follow-up,

What's up Bros? Southern Charm has come to an end and this season was... Meh. We've highlighted the flaws all season, a lot of it was production based, but hopefully they read the audience's notes and make some adjustments next season. In the finale, Venita and JT sit down to discuss the barber comments. Shep asks Molly to accompany him to the Summer Soiree. Austen and Craig appear to be in a better place, although according to recent interviews it doesn't last too long. Leva and Venita have a bone to pick with Ryan. We're confused. In our opinion it seems like the barber is the most at fault here for misrepresenting what JT had originally said. We get if you're mad at Ryan for perpetuating rumors, but it seemed to us that he was looking out for his friend in Venita. The episode ends with the same teaser trailer that we've seen all season about Paige and Craig's break up. Literally no different. The perfect underwhelming end to this underwhelming season.
