You might think being "skinny fat" is just about looking soft under your clothes, but a 2023 study found 26% of normal-weight men and 38% of normal-weight women actually had excess body fat their BMI never showed. The real name for it is normal weight obesity, and your scale, your mirror, and your last physical all miss it. This episode covers the four numbers that actually catch it, and the three things that fix it.

Pankaj Kumar: The Scrum Master Success Metric of Team Independence Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The best thing to measure the success of a Scrum Master is that the team is not dependent on the Scrum Master." - Pankaj Kumar   For Pankaj, Scrum Master success has a clear test: can the team work, decide, inspect, and improve without depending on the Scrum Master for every step? He looks for self-organization, confidence in Scrum events, and a team that can continue improving without constant intervention. But he does not rely only on impressions. Pankaj uses team metrics such as velocity, backlog health, lead time, cycle time, and Cumulative Flow Diagrams when Kanban is in use. He also pays attention to team satisfaction and regular feedback. The frequency of that reflection depends on team maturity. Mature teams may need a two-week check-in rhythm, while newer teams need closer weekly attention. His maturity model is deliberately adapted team by team, because every team's product, skills, technical context, and backlog are different. The bigger point for Scrum Masters is useful: success is not being needed in every conversation. Success is seeing the team grow enough that your presence becomes lighter.   Self-reflection Question: What would your team do this week if you were not available to guide the Scrum events? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Anonymous Action-Tracking Spreadsheet Pankaj keeps retrospectives simple and practical. Before the retrospective, he shares a spreadsheet where team members can add what went well, what needs improvement, the action needed, who is accountable, the deadline, and the status of previous actions. He also allows anonymous input, which helps quieter team members raise points they may not want to voice live. During the meeting, the team reviews previous retrospective actions and then discusses the current sprint. Pankaj is careful about who is in the room. Sometimes supervisors are needed, but often their presence changes what people are willing to say. For him, facilitation starts with creating the right audience for the conversation.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

You can't automate a planning process that only some of your teams follow. This week on Dev Interrupted, Newsela CTO Dee Wilcox joins Dan Lines, LinearB's COO and co-founder in our AI Enablement interview series. She shows how Newsela brought dev cycle time down from four days to closer to two, and why she treats code review time as a measure of how long engineers wait for feedback. They close the conversation on proving AI ROI to the board, where Dan makes the case for cost per effective PR, a metric that only counts the PRs that ship without causing incidents or needing rework. Save your seat: What your software factory is doing to your engineersFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's guest:Learn more about Newsela: https://newsela.comAccelerate Everyone: Dee's Substack on engineering leadership https://accelerateeveryone.substack.comConnect with Dee: LinkedInOFFERSStart Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.Book a Demo: Learn how you can ship faster, improve DevEx, and lead with confidence in the AI era.LEARN ABOUT LINEARBAI Code Reviews: Automate reviews to catch bugs, security risks, and performance issues before they hit production.AI & Productivity Insights: Go beyond DORA with AI-powered recommendations and dashboards to measure and improve performance.AI-Powered Workflow Automations: Use AI-generated PR descriptions, smart routing, and other automations to reduce developer toil.MCP Server: Interact with your engineering data using natural language to build custom reports and get answers on the fly.

John Alen joins the SnailBoys this week to talk about the first full year of the Barrett Lake Outhouse Project (BLOP). He talks about how much was pumped out, how many trips it’s taken, and a little bit about the total funds. With BLOP’s success, there is now new interest in whether this can be expanded to other trails. With another one of our favorite trails, Land Managers is expressing interest, and maybe Fordyce Lake Outhouse Project (FLOP).

Stop Tracking Vanity Metrics: How Schedule Adherence, Rework Reduction, and Rapid Communication Drive Real Business Value In this episode of Ask Drone U Enterprise, Paul and Rob dive into one of the most critical questions facing construction drone program managers: How do you accurately measure the success and ROI of a drone program in construction? Most organizations fall into the trap of relying on activity metrics — tracking total flight hours, number of certified pilots, gigabytes/terabytes of processed data, or missions flown. While these metrics show program activity, they fail to demonstrate actual business value to executives. 5-Day Free Course: Thriving Drone Real Estate Business Transform your drone operations into a thriving real estate-focused business.

Jonti Bolles has been in Danny's orbit for years, crossing paths at SearchHOU, AMA Houston, and a dozen other industry events long before this conversation finally came together. As CEO of Who Digital Strategy and one of the earliest practitioners to genuinely lean into AI for content creation, she's also the architect of the AI Entity Blueprint, a framework for brand consistency that goes well beyond a traditional brand guide. In this episode, she traces the single thread running from Google's founding to today's LLMs, makes the case for trust as the only metric that has ever really mattered, and shares a moment at a memorial service that reframed what she believes her work is actually for.Episode Highlights:Jonti shares why trust has been the single through-line of search marketing from Google's founding to AI overviews in 2026, and why Jonti has been building toward this moment for her entire career.This episode explores the AI Entity Blueprint: what entities, attributes, and values actually mean for brand consistency, and why the inconsistencies that LLMs find across your digital footprint are costing you visibility right now.Jonti gives the microwave analogy: why AI will create new industries and jobs rather than eliminate them, and why those resisting it are simply happy where they are.We uncover what Jonti learned at a memorial service about what a real body of work looks like, and how that shapes the way she thinks about sustainable, ethical work.She shares her belief that early AI adoption follows the same logic as staying in the market during an economic downturn: those who go in early come out ahead, and the gap compounds.Episode Links: Jonti Bolles on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jontibollesWho Digital Strategy: whodigitalstrategy.comRelational SEO Tool: relationalseo.comWinning by Jack Welch: Available on AmazonSend us Fan MailFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor:Website and Blog: thedmmentor.comInstagram: @thedmmentorLinkedin: @thedmmentorYouTube: @thedmmentorInterested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

When you're smart, capable, and driven, it's easy to believe the answer to discomfort is more effort: more thinking, more optimizing, more self-improvement. But what happens when that approach stops working and you're left with emotional pain you can't logic your way through? That's where this conversation gets real.I'm joined by Jenna Smith, creator of the Resourcing Method, to talk about what it looks like to reconnect with the intelligence of your mind, body, heart, and spirit. We dig into why left brain dominance can keep high achievers stuck, why emotions are meant to be metabolized in the body (not suppressed or “solved” in your head), and how nervous system support can change everything. Jenna shares a memorable client story that captures the shift from control and perfectionism into presence and a calmer, more flexible way of responding to life.We also get practical about self-trust and intuition. We explore self-trust as an actual relationship with yourself, how to tell intuition from anxious “ping pong” thinking, and what unconditional confidence looks like when it's not tied to achievement, approval, or having a perfect day. If you're tired of treating yourself like a problem to fix, you'll leave with a gentle next step you can try right away, including a simple hand-on-heart practice and journaling as a tool to meet yourself honestly.If this resonates, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share the episode with a friend who overthinks, and leave a review to help more people find the show.Where to find JennaWebsite: Instagram   LinkedInLet me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, a life coach offering gentle accountability coaching and I am a curious conversationalist.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Many dentists know what their practice produces each month, but fewer understand how much value their existing patient base generates each year. Annual patient value, or APV, can reveal how efficiently a practice operates, how dependent it is on patient volume, and where opportunities exist to improve profitability without simply adding more patients.In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Christina Byrne, Director of Coaching at ACT Dental, about how to calculate APV, what the number reveals about your business model, and how comprehensive care, service mix, insurance participation, and patient retention can influence it. Learn how to use APV to evaluate the health of your practice and make incremental improvements over time—listen to Episode 1102 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Annual patient value is calculated by dividing collections from the most recent rolling 12 months by the current active patient count.APV helps show how efficiently a practice generates collections from its existing patient base.A high-volume, low-profit-per-patient model generally requires more patients, appointments, team capacity, and operational infrastructure.A lower-volume, higher-profit-per-patient model can allow a practice to spend more time with patients and provide more comprehensive treatment.Comprehensive exams, complete treatment planning, periodontal diagnosis, long-term planning, and a broader hygiene service mix can help increase APV.Improving APV does not require an immediate jump to a specific benchmark, and practices can set smaller quarter-over-quarter improvement goals.APV is an outcome that reflects factors including comprehensive care, case acceptance, service mix, fee strategy, and patient retention.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Metric Mondays and annual patient value.01:00 Christina Byrne joins Kirk to discuss why APV matters.02:35 How to calculate annual patient value.03:20 What APV reveals about an existing patient base.04:50 Why APV can indicate practice efficiency and comprehensive care.06:50 Production versus the efficiency of the business model.07:15 High-volume, low-profit-per-patient practices.09:15 Low-volume, higher-profit-per-patient practices.11:00 Insurance adjustments and their impact on the business model.13:00 How write-offs, overhead, and production interact.14:35 Working backward from a collection goal using APV.18:02 Comprehensive care strategies that can raise APV.22:37 How to calculate APV and set incremental goals.25:00 Business model and KPI analysis resources mentioned in the episode.25:45 Episode wrap-upGuest Bio:Christina Byrne is the Director of Operations at ACT Dental, where she oversees coaching alignment, system development, and operational consistency across practices nationwide. She works closely with dental teams to help them build scalable systems that improve predictability, accountability, and long-term practice performance.

AI safety researchers are walking away from millions in unvested equity to take a public stand against tech labs racing toward the apocalypse. Industry leaders are responding with polite, unified calls to "slow down." It's a great distraction, but if you cut through the noise, you realize the immediate threat to your organization isn't AGI. It's corporate drift, empty values, and the silent departure of your top talent.This week, I'm addressing the high-profile resignation of Jacob Coxon and validation by Evan Hubinger to expose what happens when market pressure overrides organizational integrity. I'll also argue that pledging to "slow down" only delays the inevitable because replacing principled pushback with quiet compliance doesn't optimize for sustainable speed. It builds a fragile culture ready to collapse under pressure.My goal this week is to help you move past surface-level governance platitudes and execute a surgical playbook to protect your talent, values, and long-term execution:Exposing the Mercenary Mirage: Recognizing why swapping principled innovators for compliant mercenaries creates short-term velocity while destroying product integrity, brand trust, and enterprise resilience.De-Platituding Corporate Values: Moving away from vague mantras like "Do No Evil" to define explicit, measurable operational boundaries that dictate exact trade-offs under market pressure.Executing the Operational Integrity Audit: Auditing split incentives and rushed deadlines, repairing feedback channels shattered by past retaliation, and publicly pausing initiatives out of alignment.By the end, my hope is that you'll stop trying to move at the speed of market hype and start building an organization engineered with surgical friction to protect your core standards.—Support the show value-for-value on DonateOpen: https://donateopen.com/@christopher_lindShare your honest thoughts on the impact of AI at work: https://howdopeoplefeel.com/ai-at-workIf you need help navigating business, tech, and people, check out my website at https://christopherlind.co/—Chapters00:00 – "The End is Near...

Should You Invest in Vancouver, Montreal or Laval? Plus the 2 Numbers Wayne Uses to Analyze Deals Can you find a good rental property in Montreal or Laval? Should you invest in Vancouver? What numbers actually matter when analyzing a rental property? And if you already bought a bad deal, should you hold it and hope it recovers, or sell it and move on? Today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show is another investor Q&A covering exactly those questions. Wayne and Gabby break down how to evaluate a market, how borrowed down-payment funds affect cash flow, why Wayne would personally avoid certain provinces even when the numbers appear to work, and the two metrics he actually uses to compare real estate deals. The main message: Don't force a market to work. Find the market, property type and deal that actually fit your investment criteria. Can You Cash Flow in Montreal or Laval? A listener from Laval, Quebec asks whether it is realistic to find a property in Laval or Montreal that meets Wayne's cash-flow criteria. Wayne says it may be possible. But instead of starting with one predetermined property type, investors should study the entire market. Look at: Apartment condos Townhouse condos Duplexes Single-family houses Houses with secondary suites Small multifamily Larger multifamily Then compare purchase prices across different neighbourhoods with the rents those properties can realistically achieve. The goal is to become a master of the market. You need to know: What different property types cost. What different neighbourhoods cost. What tenants will pay. What areas attract stronger tenants. Which property types produce the best rent-to-price relationship. Only then can you determine which opportunities deserve deeper investigation. Don't Start With the Strategy and Force the Market The listener specifically mentions wanting to purchase a plex. Wayne's approach would be slightly different. Instead of deciding: "I want to buy a plex." Start with: "Which asset type in this city produces the best combination of cash flow, tenant profile, risk and long-term potential?" Maybe that is a plex. Maybe it is a townhouse. Maybe it is a suited house. Maybe it is something completely different. Do not force the property type. Follow the numbers. Borrowing Your Down Payment From Home Equity The listener is also considering borrowing against their existing home to fund the down payment. Wayne likes the concept of taking otherwise unused equity and redeploying it into another productive asset. But there is an obvious trade-off. Borrowing the down payment creates additional debt. Additional debt means additional monthly interest. That increases the risk. If the investment property itself produces $500 per month in cash flow but the borrowed down payment costs $300 per month to service, the investor's actual financial position is very different. That needs to be considered. Look at the Entire Portfolio When investors use equity from one property to fund another, Wayne sometimes prefers looking at the cash flow of the entire portfolio instead of judging only the new property in isolation. Maybe one property produces excellent cash flow. Another is tighter. Together, the portfolio may still be healthy. The question becomes: Does the entire portfolio still pass the cash-flow test and remain resilient? Borrowing money to scale increases potential profits. But it also increases risk. The goal is finding the right balance. Borrowed Investment Funds May Be Tax Deductible Gabby also points out an important tax consideration. When money is borrowed and used for qualifying investment purposes, the interest may be deductible. That can reduce the true after-tax cost of the borrowed funds. Investors should confirm the exact treatment with a qualified accountant based on their specific circumstances. Why Wayne Still Wouldn't Choose Quebec This is where Wayne's answer changes. Could somebody potentially find a property in Quebec that produces good cash flow? Yes. Would Wayne personally want to operate his rental-property business there? No. The issue is the landlord and tenant laws. Wayne views real estate as a business. And if the jurisdiction makes it unnecessarily difficult to operate that business, enforce agreements or manage risk, that becomes a major negative. Even if the numbers work. For Wayne, that can be enough to eliminate the market. A Great Deal in the Wrong Province Can Still Be the Wrong Deal Wayne compares Quebec with other provinces where investors have historically found strong deals. The purchase price might work. The rent might work. The appreciation potential might work. But if the operating environment creates significantly more landlord risk, the deal becomes less attractive. Wayne would rather invest in a market where: The property works. The cash flow works. The tenant profile works. The long-term fundamentals work. And the laws support the operation of the business. Wayne's "Ice Age" Theory Wayne again discusses the idea of real estate markets entering an "ice age." A market can become temporarily unattractive when prices rise faster than rents and household affordability. That does not mean the city is permanently bad. It means investors may need to wait. Calgary is one market Wayne currently describes this way. He believes Edmonton will eventually reach a similar stage. When that happens, he will look for the next market where the fundamentals work better. What Numbers Should Investors Actually Follow? Another listener asks which indicators they should use when analyzing deals. They currently look at: Cap rate Cash flow ROI DSCR The 1% rule Other rules of thumb Wayne simplifies it dramatically. He primarily focuses on two things: Return on Investment and The 5% Rule™ Cash Flow Test That is it. Metric #1: Return on Investment ROI tells Wayne how profitable the investment is. It allows him to compare completely different properties using one common measure. A townhouse. A suited house. A multifamily building. A condo. A garden-suite development. Whatever the property type, the question is: For every dollar I invest, how much profit am I receiving back? Wayne looks at total profits from: Cash flow Mortgage principal paydown Appreciation Then compares those profits with the initial investment. He generally prefers looking over longer holding periods rather than focusing only on year-one returns. Real estate is a long-term investment. Metric #2: The 5% Rule™ Cash Flow Test Profitability is only half the equation. The other half is risk. Wayne uses cash flow as his primary risk measure. The more cash flow a property produces, the greater its ability to absorb: Lower rents Higher mortgage payments Repairs Vacancy Increasing expenses Unexpected economic changes Imagine one property produces $500 per month. Rent falls by $200. You still have $300. Another property produces only $100. Rent falls by $200. Now you are losing money. Multiply that across a 20-property portfolio and suddenly a small monthly problem becomes a very large one. That is why Wayne created the 5% Rule. Profitability + Risk Wayne's approach is to balance: ROI = profitability with Cash flow = risk protection A property can have an incredible projected return but still be dangerously fragile. Another property can be extremely safe but produce disappointing returns. The goal is finding investments that score well in both areas. Wayne Doesn't Use the 1% Rule Wayne considers rules such as the 1% rule outdated and overly simplistic. The bigger question is: Why 1%? What exactly is it measuring? Profitability? Risk? Financing? There is often no clear reasoning behind the number. Wayne prefers metrics where he understands exactly what they are measuring and why they matter. A Listener Bought a Vancouver Condo and Regrets It Another listener writes in after purchasing a condo in the Greater Vancouver area. They say the property is losing several hundred dollars every month. They relied heavily on their realtor. They did not educate themselves first. And after finding the Morning Show, they realized they had done exactly what Wayne warns investors not to do. Their questions: Should they continue investing in Vancouver? Should they invest somewhere else? And how do they get out of the condo? Would Wayne Invest in Vancouver? Wayne's answer: No. He does not believe Vancouver currently fits the five fundamentals he uses when selecting markets and investments. His issue is not whether Vancouver real estate can appreciate. It obviously can. His problem is that Wayne does not buy properties primarily to speculate on appreciation. He wants to purchase a profitable rental business. If the rent cannot pay the operating costs and produce sufficient cash flow, he is not interested. Appreciation Is Not Enough Someone can buy a Vancouver condo and hope it goes up in value. That is a strategy. It is simply not Wayne's strategy. Wayne wants: Positive cash flow Mortgage paydown Long-term appreciation potential A strong tenant profile A supportive operating environment The property needs to make sense without requiring appreciation to rescue the investment. Should You Invest Outside Your Home City? Yes. Wayne believes investors should go where the fundamentals work. You do not need to live in the same city as your rental property. Wayne and Gabby already manage properties they rarely or never physically visit. The solution is building: The right team Communication systems Maintenance systems Inspection systems Contractor relationships Documentation systems Location matters far less once the management system works. How Do You Get Out of a Bad Vancouver Condo? Wayne's first answer is straightforward: Talk to your realtor and understand what the property can realistically sell for. Then calculate: Mortgage penalty Realtor fees Legal fees Current market value Remaining mortgage Potential loss Tax implications Net proceeds Then determine whether continuing to hold the property actually improves the situation. Wayne warns against holding a bad investment indefinitely simply because you want to "break even." Sometimes the best decision is to accept the loss, learn from it and redeploy the remaining capital into a better opportunity. Don't Make the Next Decision Based on the Last Mistake A bad deal does not mean real estate investing does not work. It means that particular deal did not work. The most important thing is learning from it. Get educated. Understand the market. Understand the numbers. Create proper criteria. Then try again with a stronger foundation. Ghost Listings for Rental Research Another viewer asks about posting a rental listing before the property is actually available to test the market rent. Wayne explains that investors sometimes use "ghost listings" to gauge demand at a particular price. But Gabby raises an important concern. If tenants currently occupy the property, posting their home for rent before it is actually available can create unnecessary problems. There is also a timing issue. If you post the listing in September to determine what rent you can get in December, you are collecting September data. Rental markets are seasonal. The information may not accurately reflect what tenants will pay months later. Ask the Right Professional Wayne closes the discussion with another important principle: Use professionals for what they actually specialize in. A realtor brokers real estate transactions. A mortgage broker arranges financing. A lawyer provides legal guidance. A contractor performs construction. That does not automatically make any of them qualified to provide investment strategy. Build a team of strong professionals. But remain the CEO of your own real estate business.

Back in May, Mike Murray told us April was the top and the market would bottom out around August. The July numbers are in. He was right.But there is a new wrinkle. About 6,500 units crossed the block in July. A year ago it was 5,000. That is 30% more bikes at the auction, the most for any July in three years. More supply plus the normal fall slide means a lot of red on the report. Domestic cruisers down 13%. Metric down 10%. PWC down 23%.Here is the part most dealers will miss. The actual dollars are still at or above last year in most categories. The drop feels worse than it is because spring was so strong. And the lowest prices of the year are sitting right in front of you for the next 30 to 60 days.Mike walks through where the extra bikes are coming from, why the clean ones still bring big money while the rough ones sit, and what to do with the units you took in too high this summer. He also gives away the pricing trick a dealer shared in a 20 group meeting last week. It works.What we cover:Why the slide came right on schedule, and why 2026 is still a little better than expectedWhere the extra 1,500 auction units came from. It is not repos. Repos are flat.More dealers are buying too. NPA saw about 10% more dealers show up this year.The three ways dealers use Direct Buy: the trade you do not want, the trade you are not sure about, and the unit that has aged outSturgis: how NPA put numbers on non-Harley trades in a couple of minutes so the sales team could stay on the customerWhy this is a buyer's market right now. More supply, less competition, and the northern dealers are already thinking about snow.The three things that decide what a bike is worth: how wanted it is, what shape it is in, and the milesWhere the deals are. Clean low-mile bikes still get bid up. The one with a dent in the tank that needs $900 in recon is where the money is.The buying window: prices start climbing again in 30 to 45 daysThe unit you took in too high. Mike's answer: holding inventory rarely pays off. Cut it loose and put the money in something that turns.The dealer who turns his used inventory five times a year, and how he does itThe 11,995 pricing trickWhy clean Harleys keep pulling away from rough onesWhy side by sides are holding up when everything else slidWhy PWC fell off a cliff, and why not to panic about itRepos: flat, normal, nothing to worry aboutThe $10,000 bike that is now an $8,000 bike, and the $1,000 loss that turned into $2,000 because nobody had a planBook values dropping 2% to 4% on September 1, and why that is good newsTrikes: why the book went one way and the real market went anotherThe 60 to 90 day outlookThe one thing to do this week: go watch an auction for 30 minutesWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixitNPA Market Report: https://www.npauctions.com/cp/npa-market-reportReach Mike Murray: mmurray@npauctions.comConnect with Jacob: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/Follow the Fixit Online: https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixitMotoHunt for Dealers: https://dealers.motohunt.comSponsor: https://www.ziidms.com/fixit

Turnbuckle Tavern is powered by G FUEL and Official Dick Lazer. Use code TAVERN for 20% off at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Episode 211 of Wrestling Tonight begins with the passing of Andy "The Butcher" Williams at 48. We look back at Andy Williams' career as a founding guitarist of Every Time I Die and his transition into professional wrestling as The Butcher in AEW, as well as the tributes from those who worked alongside Andy Williams in both wrestling and music. We also remember "Superstar" Bill Dundee, the Memphis Wrestling legend who passed away at 82. WWE Sunday Night's Main Event saw Randy Orton defeat Cody Rhodes, while Bron Breakker vs. Oba Femi ended without a decisive winner following the return of Bronson Reed. Trick Williams also regained the United States Championship from Baron Corbin to begin a second reign. AAA Triplemanía 34 takes place across two nights in Las Vegas and Mexico City. Rey Mysterio faces Omos on Night 1 with Omos' status in AAA at stake, while Dominik Mysterio defends the AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano on Night 2. We preview both cards and the WWE crossover surrounding the weekend, including an AAA World Tag Team Championship match on SmackDown and the subsequent open challenge at Triplemanía. On WWE Raw, Bayley returned during Lyra Valkyria's Money in the Bank qualifier, helping Sol Ruca advance before attacking Lyra Valkyria after the match. Bron Breakker also qualified for Money in the Bank, while WWE's Mexico City schedule continues with Roman Reigns vs. Penta and Chad Gable vs. Dragon Lee set for Raw. Netflix VP Gabe Spitzer says WWE has "hit every metric" Netflix hoped for since the partnership began, pointing specifically to international performance as an area of growth. We examine those comments, what Netflix is saying about its relationship with WWE and what can actually be measured publicly about the partnership. Meanwhile, WWE Worlds Collide has distributed 10,149 tickets compared with 8,501 for AEW All Out ahead of the two events running in the Chicago area on September 26. We look at the numbers and the important differences between the two events as WWE and AEW compete for the same market on the same day. Also discussed: John Cena's assessment of his 2025 heel turn, Malakai Black becoming PROGRESS Men's World Champion, WWE's latest round of NXT departures and Triangle of Madness defending the Artist of Stardom Championships. Episode 211 covers the latest across WWE, AEW, AAA, NXT, PROGRESS and Stardom, along with the wrestling world remembering Andy Williams and Bill Dundee.

What if we tracked laughter and play and genuine enjoyment with even a fraction of the enthusiasm we bring to our step counts and protein grams? In this episode I make the case that fun is not frivolous. It is a sustainability mechanism. And in a long-term health practice, sustainability is everything. I explore the concept of bringing magic to the mundane: what happens when you approach cooking with presence and music instead of efficiency, when you consider the route of your walk or who you move with or the playlist that actually makes you want to move. These are not small things. They are the difference between a practice you sustain and one you eventually abandon. I also offer a simple honest audit: where in your health practice right now are you experiencing genuine dread? Because dread is information. And it is not a sustainable fuel. Ready to go deeper?

Metrics matter.But they should never become the entire reason you keep going.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why founders need to anchor themselves to a mission that can survive changing revenue, algorithms, engagement, and short-term performance.Numbers will move.Sales will fluctuate.Some months will feel like momentum, while others will test your patience.If your confidence rises and falls with every dashboard update, it becomes much harder to think clearly and build for the long term.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why tying your identity to short-term metrics can weaken your resilience• How a clear mission creates stability when business performance fluctuates• Why focusing on customer transformation can strengthen the quality of your work• How long-term commitment to value can support retention, referrals, and sustainable growthThe truth is simple:A bad month does not automatically mean you have a bad mission.Study the numbers.Learn from the data.But do not let temporary results control your entire vision.Stay focused on the problem you exist to solve.Protect the standard.Deliver the value.When the mission stays strong, the metrics become feedback instead of your identity.Serve the mission.Improve the execution.Build something that lasts.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

Tim Cook has wrapped up his final day as CEO and moves into the executive chairman role as John Ternus officially takes over. The panel discusses Cook's farewell message, Ternus's first memo to Apple employees, what his hardware-engineering background could mean for Apple's future, and the wider executive changes accompanying the transition, including Phil Schiller scaling back his responsibilities. The crew also covers the latest Apple beta releases, including visionOS 27 beta 8, iOS and iPadOS 27 developer beta 8 and public beta 6, watchOS 27 beta 8, tvOS 27 beta 8, and macOS 27 beta 8. They look at the new iPhone Handoff capability in iOS 27, unexpectedly strong demand for Mac mini and Mac Studio for AI workloads, and Apple giving Mac App Store developers the option to drop Intel support. Other topics include the unusual Lake Ontario/Lake America mapping controversy involving Apple Maps, Google Maps, and MapQuest; a handy Shortcut for jumping directly to the current app's Settings from Control Center; and Storm Radar bringing route-aware weather, alerts, and navigation to CarPlay. In the news, Qualcomm is raising chip prices, several older Macs have moved onto Apple's obsolete-products list, Apple has been inducted into the Brand Hall of Fame, and Apple TV and the Apple One Individual plan are getting more expensive.

This major shift includes Cook's final reflections, Ternus's initial vision for the company, and several notable executive reassignments accompanying the change. Tim Cook's departure from the CEO role On his final day as CEO, August 31, Cook shared an emotional message with Apple staff, expressing deep gratitude and characterizing his leadership years as a singular honor. Cook will continue to provide guidance in his new capacity as Executive Chairman. 9to5Mac - Tim Cook's full memo to employees on his last day as CEO (Aug. 31, 2026) John Ternus's first address as CEO During his first official day, Ternus acknowledged Cook's mentorship and emphasized his confidence in the current workforce. His message highlighted the upcoming September 9 launch and future product roadmaps, suggesting a focus on continuity while the panel analyzes his specific leadership style. 9to5Mac - Read new Apple CEO John Ternus's full memo to employees (Sept. 1, 2026) Apple Leadership Broad executive reshuffling Reporting indicates that the transition involves several high-level moves.

Eddy Cue will now oversee the App Store with Carson Oliver managing daily operations, while Nola Weinstein takes the lead on events. This raises questions about how much of the senior hierarchy is being restructured at once.

Anika sat down with Holland Martini and Maria Vorovich to explore how Good Ques transformed the traditionally rigid world of market research by embracing creativity, humor, and psychological safety. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: to get to real human insights, you cannot ask robotic questions; you have to shift the perspective and design an experience that makes people comfortable telling the absolute truth. Holland and Maria's unique journey—from working side by side at Grey in New York and navigating the unexpected hurdles of launching a business right before a global pandemic to earning recognition from Inc. Magazine and working with giants like P&G, PepsiCo, Adobe, TikTok, and Meta—offered a practical look at how two co-founders with contrasting working styles ("waffle brain" and "spaghetti brain") built an anti-research research company on mutual respect, clear communication, and purposeful creativity. In This Episode The Waffle and the Spaghetti: How balancing statistical rigor with big-picture creative strategy builds an indestructible co-founder partnership. The Spark in the Cream: Turning a New Year's Eve conversation about stale corporate jargon into a mission to reinvent consumer insights. Surviving the Pivot: How an early client backing out right before COVID unexpectedly forced them into the research boom. The TikTok Validation: Landing early major enterprise accounts by showing up with a genuinely different point of view. Rewiring the Factory: Why using AI to innovate the ultimate output rather than just speeding up the assembly line matters. The Power of Memes in Healthcare: How a viral internet joke helped a healthcare client accurately double their anticipated market size. The Empathy Deficit: Why modern brands get lost in best-practice perfection and forget to design human experiences for respondents. Co-Founder Dynamics: The importance of clear role separation, shared values, and leaving ego at the door. Timestamps 00:00 Intro: The anti-research research company 02:05 Waffle brain vs. spaghetti brain 03:54 The origin story at Grey 06:20 Taking off corporate guardrails 09:30 Carving a distinct agency path 11:42 Good Ques: Asking better questions 13:35 The 2020 pandemic pivot and TikTok 15:58 AI integration and industry innovation 20:53 Pitching enterprise clients 23:55 Creative research tweaks 25:10 The condom meme case study 29:26 Comfort with creative boundaries 31:32 Co-founder rules and motherhood 37:35 Remote culture and global teams 43:07 The respondent experience 46:26 What's next for Good Ques 47:24 Advice for new founders 49:32 Favorite quotes and business mantras Key Insights & Takeaways Insight 1: Invisibility Isn't a Content Problem—It's a Strategy Problem Traditional market research is bogged down by rigid, robotic phrasing that invites equally robotic, surface-level responses. When researchers focus entirely on extraction rather than the respondent's experience, they miss the underlying truth. Asking better questions requires designing an environment of psychological safety where people feel comfortable revealing their real behaviors. Insight 2: Creativity Belongs in Methodology, Not Just Execution Many corporate brands assume creativity only applies to advertising copy or visual design. True innovation happens when creativity is applied to the research methodology itself—using tools like creative drawing, changing the frame of reference to bypass social desirability bias, or even incorporating internet culture like memes to capture authentic consumer sentiment. Insight 3: AI Should Innovate the Output, Not Just the Assembly Line While many companies use generative AI simply to streamline traditional processes and speed up data collection, true market leaders use it to reimagine the final product. Technology should be leveraged to push beyond industry averages and discover entirely new frontiers of understanding rather than just producing faster mediocrity. Insight 4: Counterbalance Is the Anchor of a Strong Co-Founder Partnership A successful co-founder relationship relies on having complementary skill sets rather than duplicate visions. Pairing a structured, analytical mindset with a fluid, big-picture creative approach creates a resilient leadership team, provided there is absolute clarity in roles, deep mutual respect, and zero ego. Insight 5: Embrace Discomfort as a Metric for Growth Building a disruptive company requires a constant willingness to step outside the boundaries of convention. Whether it is pitching unconventional methodologies to skeptical executives, riding a bicycle across a bridge in freezing weather during a crisis, or pivoting business models overnight, treating discomfort as a sign of progress is essential for long-term survival. Resources & Links Mentioned GoodQues.com Good Ques LinkedIn Columbia University (guest lecturing) About Holland Martini & Maria Vorovich Holland Martini and Maria Vorovich are the co-founders of Good Ques, widely known as the anti-research research company. Having met while working in strategy and data at Grey New York, they bonded over a shared frustration with stale industry jargon and rigid methodologies. Together, they built an award-winning agency recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., delivering breakthrough consumer insights for global brands like Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, Adobe, TikTok, and Meta.

A full schedule does not always mean a productive schedule. Without a clear average daily production goal, teams can stay busy, miss production targets, and spend their days reacting instead of intentionally building the schedule. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Robyn Theisen, ACT Dental coach, about using average daily production goals and ideal day scheduling to create a more predictable and productive practice.You will learn how to set daily targets, structure high-production procedures, monitor the schedule in advance, and help your team consistently work toward the same goal. To learn how to build your schedule to win the day, listen to Episode 1093 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:An average daily production goal should be used as an intentional scheduling target rather than an end-of-day report card.A schedule can be completely full while still failing to produce enough revenue to meet the practice's goals.Every provider and team member should understand the daily production targets and how the schedule is designed to achieve them.Production should be monitored days and weeks in advance so the team can proactively address openings and protect high-value treatment.High-production procedures should be strategically placed throughout the day instead of being scheduled wherever space happens to be available.Daily production goals should be calculated from the practice's annual production goal and the number of days worked each year.An ideal day schedule gives the team a framework for placing procedures, protecting capacity, and working toward production goals consistently.Episode Chapters:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro02:19 Why ideal day scheduling is an important practice management tool.03:46 Using production goals as intentional targets instead of report cards.05:01 What happens when a practice's schedule is busy but not productive.06:17 What a practice looks like when production goals and scheduling are aligned.08:08 Using full fees, write-offs, and adjustments correctly within the scheduling process.09:47 How to calculate daily goals and begin building an ideal day schedule.11:11 Wrap Up And ResourcesGuest Bio:Robyn Theisen brings an entire life and legacy of dental experience to the team and every team with which she works as the daughter and sister of dentists. With almost 20 years of experience in dentistry, her roles ranged from practice management to operations at Patterson Dental to coaching teams. Robyn's passion is empowering teams to realize that they can dramatically impact the lives of the people they serve by implementing skills and systems to remove barriers to life-changing dental treatment. She has done it for decades and does it every day with dental teams.Outside of coaching, she enjoys time with her husband, Rob, and two daughters, Emerson and Ruby. She loves traveling, music, fitness, and cheering on the Michigan State Spartans.Episode Resources:Ideal Day Scheduling and Block Scheduling Resource Guide: https://hub.smilesource.com/c/resources/color-coding-block-scheduling-and-ideal-day-schedulingMore Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:Contact Gina to learn more about ACT: gina@actdental.comThe Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Smile Source Community Hub: https://www.actdental.com/community-hubUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

It's the Ranch It Up Radio Show!

Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. President Trump Announces 300,000 Metric Tons To Enter The U.S. In his statement last Friday, President Trump highlighted a 90-day agreement aimed at reducing ground beef prices, citing a significant increase in costs and a reduction in the American beef herd during the Biden administration. The plan involves importing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef without out-of-quota tariffs, with a commitment that this product will be sold at 25 percent below current market rates. He framed the deal as a measure to lower costs for consumers while supporting the rebuilding of the domestic beef herd.  Producer, rancher, business owner, former president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau, and radio host Daryl Lies shares his thoughts by breaking down what this could mean for the U.S. cattle producer.

Jason welcomes his long-term client David Porter, a retired executive who began investing in residential real estate around 2008. David explains his unique "free lunch metric," which he used to identify stable neighborhoods by ensuring fewer than 50% of local students qualified for government-assisted meals. Throughout the discussion, the pair explores the benefits of buy-and-hold strategies in linear markets like Indianapolis, emphasizing cash flow over speculative appreciation. David shares practical advice on managing property managers, maintaining financial buffers, and the importance of professional oversight for supposedly passive investments. They conclude by highlighting how David's courageous investing during the Great Recession successfully built a reliable income stream for his retirement.   EmpoweredInvestor.com/Wednesday PropertyTracker.com   Key Takeaways: 0:00 The 'Free Lunch' Metric 5:28 3 Markets and TGF crisis 9:00 Lessons learned along the way 17:46 Here's the key 22:05 Tools and market updates 24:46 Thoughts of giving up and insurance 27:34 The great tenant  _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://empoweredinvestor.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Steven Jopek is making his debut in the NYTimes, so kudos, congrats, huzzah, etc., etc. Although after the fact the crossword seemed like a typical Monday, during the solve it seemed to put up just a bit more resistance than usual, although, of course, YMMV*.One thing that stood out: we were impressed by the progression represented by 44A, She, in Portuguese, ELA, 40D, Actor Idris, ELBA, and 57A, Jazz great Fitzgerald, ELLA. It's that attention to detail that gets you, well, published in the NYTimes. 

Jimmy and Tyler dig into a stack of public lands updates in this week’s Monday episode — the kind of episode where you walk away actually understanding the legal mechanics behind the headlines, instead of just reacting to them. The Roadless Rule kicks things off, and it’s more interesting than it sounds. Roads through national forest and BLM land aren’t just recreation access — they’re wildfire infrastructure. Jimmy and Tyler talk through the Caldor Fire, where popular Sierra OHV routes served as fire lines and ingress for hotshot crews, and the broader ecological argument that decades of total fire suppression (no controlled burns, no small fires clearing brush) is exactly why mega-fires have gotten so much worse. The Roadless Rule — which has blocked any new road construction and forced a steady decline in usable routes — is now being reconsidered, with agencies reviewing historical road inventories to determine what could reopen for fire management purposes. It’s currently open for public comment, and Blue Ribbon Coalition has a tool on their site that maps your zip code to your legislators for submitting comments directly. Make a public comment on the Roadless Rule: https://blueribboncoalition.org/roadless-rule-draft-eis-comment/ From there: an update on the Big Bend National Park border wall project in Texas — over $7 billion across five sections, built with no-bid contracts, cutting a new road directly next to an existing one, and initially bypassing NEPA environmental review and public comment entirely. The good news: sustained public pressure has forced a pause on construction while it undergoes review. Also covered: why picking up a rock on public land is technically a federal offense (it’s classified as mining), the ongoing accessibility angle of road closures for wheelchair users and other visitors who can’t hike miles in on foot, and the California OHV permit saga — a coalition-negotiated agreement that got rewritten by the legislative committee and failed its vote, leaving the whole permit effort dead for now. The back half covers two related legal patterns worth knowing: newly released Yellowstone grizzly bear studies show OHV use has never caused a single recorded grizzly death — despite that exact justification being used to close routes — and Jimmy and Tyler connect the dots to the nearly identical legal language used to justify closures at Oceano Dunes (snowy plover), the Western Mojave (desert tortoise), and now the Oregon Dunes (western marmot), in each case without a definitive study proving OHV is actually the cause of death. Then a full breakdown of Wilderness Study Areas — land that’s been managed as de facto wilderness for decades without ever being formally designated, with no legal deadline forcing a decision either way — and Blue Ribbon Coalition’s push to get courts to force a timeline.

Rising AI costs are quietly eroding marketing's bottom line. Katrina Wong, Chief Marketing Officer at New Relic, has led seven successful exits and now factors AI spend directly into cost of goods sold. She breaks down the buy-versus-build decision for AI agents, explains why New Relic won't automate end-to-end campaigns yet, and shares how her team is orchestrating agents across marketing handoffs to control costs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The plan hasn’t been enforced yet — that’s the only reason anyone’s still walking around out there without a permit. Once it is, over 775,000 acres go non-motorized and non-mechanized, permanently, with no path to ever reopen them. Mountain bikes included. Motorized groups get capped at 24 vehicles per route per day before you need a federal permit. Hunters can’t retrieve game or gather firewood off the road by any mechanized means. Hikers can get locked to designated trails only, dispersed camping gets restricted to numbered sites, dogs need to be leashed everywhere, and rock climbers can’t place a new bolt without commission approval. One sentence in the plan — Paragraph 14 — is written broadly enough to prohibit basically anything not yet invented that someone decides is “inconsistent” with protecting the monument. We also get into the two-tier trick land management plans use to delay the real fight: the big decisions get locked in years before anyone announces them, so by the time you actually feel the restriction, it’s framed as “just following the existing plan” instead of a new decision anyone has to defend. And we cover the same legal playbook now showing up at Oregon Dunes, after already being used to shrink Oceano Dunes by up to 80%. If you care about keeping public land open — hiking, biking, wheeling, hunting, camping, all of it — this is the episode to actually understand what’s at stake instead of just reacting to a headline.
