Librarians as Researchers: Developing Our Scholarly Identity (Bloomsbury, 2025) edited by Paul C. Campbell and Sarah Nagle is designed to empower librarians to develop their research skills and embrace their identities as scholars. Many librarians, particularly those in academic libraries, are expected to engage in research and scholarly output. However, unlike disciplinary faculty, most librarians have not completed a PhD program, and many have never designed or participated in original research upon embarking on their career. This edited volume provides inspiration and support for academic librarians looking to develop or refresh their research skills and develop their scholarly identities. The focus of this book is toward empowering librarians as researchers, rather than librarians supporting student or faculty research. This book provides a venue for librarians to share their knowledge on different aspects of research as well as build community for other librarians to actualize their own identities as researchers. The existing literature and research in the realm of librarian identity development often touches on librarian identities in the face of emerging technologies and new library types, or how librarians can support research at their institutions. However, there is a gap in the literature around librarians developing their own identities as researchers. Librarians have a unique role in the scholarly community; we often sacrifice our own research interests so that we can provide support and instruction to others, whether it be faculty, students, or the public. But the library world holds immense opportunity for developing and executing original research. Additionally, conducting research is beneficial to librarians' individual practice as well as the library community as a whole. This edited volume will provide guidance as well as actionable methods for librarians to develop foundational research philosophies, create communities of practice, and hone practical skills in a wide range of research areas.Guests: Paul C. Campbell is an Assistant Professor and the Social Science & Assessment Librarian at Kent State University Libraries. Sarah Nagle is the Creation and Innovation Services Librarian at Miami University in OhioHost: Dr. Michael LaMagna is a Professor of Library Services at Delaware County Community College.

From collectively writing odes to everyday objects to making good writing sound worse, Hoa Nguyen aims to actively involve students in exploring writing through practice. In this episode, she shares with Curtis and Chelsea how she imagines the classroom as a laboratory, with writing as an embodied, collaborative experiment. Through playful approaches, she helps students play with language, see their thinking, and appreciate the writer's craft. Professor Nguyen also discusses how the rise of generative AI has (and has not) impacted her teaching practice, what its use reveals about assessment, and why excitement, experimentation, and human connection matter. Professor Hoa Nguyen is an internationally regarded writer and teacher of creative writing with over twenty years of experience across genres, ranging from intimate workshops to large-scale lectures in community and university settings. After a decade on the faculty of the Bard College MFA and the low-residency MFA program at Miami University, she is now an Assistant Professor teaching Creative Writing and Poetics in the Department of English at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Private assets are flooding into the defined contribution conversation — but are they a breakthrough or a bogeyman? Brandon Shea of T. Rowe Price breaks down what private equity, infrastructure, and credit actually are, and the handful of questions every committee should ask before they ever say yes or no. In this episode, Eric and Brandon Shea discuss:Private assets 101: equity, infrastructure, creditWhy private assets remain optional, not mandatoryLiquidity vs. valuation in target date structuresThe committee's evolving due diligence frameworkPlan size, advisors, and practical implementationKey Takeaways:Private assets are a tool, not a destination — the goal is helping participants build and preserve enough savings for retirement.Complexity belongs to the professional asset manager. The committee's job stays where it's always been: portfolio-level oversight of philosophy, glide path, fees, performance, and risk.Participant liquidity and investment liquidity are two different things — a participant can have daily access even when underlying holdings don't trade daily.Don't mistake infrequent pricing for low volatility; smoother reported returns may reflect valuation timing rather than underlying economics.Core questions don't scale with plan size — a $25 million plan and a $2 billion plan ask the same things; only the depth of documentation and resources differ.Bonus: a documented "no" is a valid fiduciary outcome — it's OK to get educated and then decide a particular direction, which includes declining a certain service or strategy. Record the process and the reasoning.“Keep the decision at the portfolio level. Private assets are not a goal by themselves. Participant outcomes are the goal.” - Brandon SheaBrandon Shea is a defined contribution strategist for the Global Retirement Strategy team. The team leads an enterprise retirement strategy, advises on the development of new products and services, and helps amplify the firm's voice in retirement security-related public policy initiatives. Brandon is a vice president of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.Brandon's investment experience began in 2000, and he has been with T. Rowe Price since 2017, beginning as a defined contribution investment-only regional consultant.

What happens when you've built a successful career—and finally ask whether the life you're building is actually the one you want?Trisha Daho had done what many professionals spend years working toward. She made partner at a Big Four accounting and advisory firm, built multimillion-dollar practices, led large teams, and developed leaders who went on to become executives themselves. But underneath the accomplishments was another story.Trisha had spent much of her life learning how to navigate being an outsider—the new girl, the person entering a community she didn't quite belong to, the professional learning how to prove her value. And in corporate life, she became very good at producing.So good, in fact, that she later recognized one of her biggest mistakes: she thought people primarily wanted to see what she could produce, so she didn't let them see enough of who she was. Then, while on vacation and taking yet another conference call, her now-husband asked a deceptively simple question:“Do you really love this that much?” No one had ever asked her that before.In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo and Trisha explore what happened when she began moving from proving toward choosing—and how that shift eventually took her from Big Four partner to entrepreneur, people and culture advisor, and even across the Atlantic to build a life in France.In this episode, you'll learn: How moving frequently as a child shaped Trisha's experience of being an outsider  Why class became one of the most important dimensions of identity for her to examine  How recognizing her own class bias changed the way she thought about opportunity and other people's careers  Why Trisha considers hiding much of her personal self one of her biggest corporate mistakes  The question that caused her to reconsider a successful Big Four career  Why she wondered at 39 whether it was already too late to do something different  How her own experience of feeling disempowered eventually inspired the name Empowered Why different people can want completely different things from work—and both can be right  How Trisha has allowed her business to evolve as she has evolved  Why moving to France was the first major decision she says she made purely because she wanted it  What becoming an immigrant herself taught her about language, intelligence and belonging  Why self-awareness, emotional intelligence and being comfortable in your own skin matter in leadership  Why Trisha believes we often underestimate the options available to us One idea to carry with you“Don't ever believe that you don't have options. You always have options.” This isn't a conversation about everyone leaving corporate America.It's about knowing yourself well enough to recognize the difference between the life you're successfully performing and the life you actually want.Sometimes staying is the choice.Sometimes leaving is the choice.Sometimes evolving what you've already built is the choice.The important question may be whether you are actually choosing.About Trisha DahoTrisha Daho is the founder of Empowered and a fractional Chief People Officer who helps organizations build thriving cultures, stronger leaders and high-performing teams. Her work spans culture strategy, talent acquisition and retention, leadership development, performance management, organizational change and executive advisory. Before founding Empowered, Trisha spent more than 15 years with Ernst & Young, where she became a partner, built multimillion-dollar businesses across multiple regions, led international teams of 50–100 people, and worked with Fortune 500 organizations on complex business challenges. She holds a J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law and a B.S. in Economics, Finance and Sociology from Miami University. Today, Trisha works across the U.S. and Europe, helping organizations strengthen the connection between their people, culture and business performance.Connect with Trisha: Empowered Leadership Cultivation Trisha Daho on LinkedInAnd for the closing meal question?Trisha would bring real Mexican food to France.After several years there, a good taco remains one of the things she misses most.

You know exactly what compounding does to money. Why don't we apply it to our habits? Ryan Hawk is the author of

Send us Fan MailPeaches is stuck at home with FOMO while the boys are at Operator Training Summit Pennsylvania, and somehow that turns into exactly what candidates need to hear again: you are probably not running enough.Trent and Peaches start with OTS updates, CrossFit Hershey, Pennsylvania, Miami University in Ohio, and Vegas in December. Then Peaches brings up something he has been noticing online: everyday recruiters and MTIs are putting in real mileage. Not candidates training for one of the hardest pipelines on the planet. Recruiters. MTIs. Air Force members with normal jobs who are running 20, 25, even 40 miles a week because they care about fitness, mental health, professional image, and being ready for life.Which raises the obvious question: if they can do it, why are pipeline candidates still acting like a mile and a half is the finish line?The boys break down the difference between passing the test and preparing for the life. Air Force Special Warfare candidates need more than a passing Initial Fitness Test. They need the aerobic base to absorb long days, recover, move under load, ruck, run, swim, train again, and not fold when volume stacks up.They also talk about why OTS exposes people so quickly. It is not selection. It is not a pipeline smoke session. It is two days of coaching: land day, water day, running, rucking, mobility, pool work, instruction, and mentorship. And still, people get absolutely smoked. That should tell you something.Then the conversation swings into MTIs, BMT, cones, cadre wakeups, student shenanigans, Air Force investment in Basic Military Training, and why trainees need to understand that MTIs are not the enemy. They are the people trying to turn 60 random civilians into Airmen in seven and a half weeks.Bottom line: minimum standards are not the goal. If you are serious about Air Force Special Warfare, stop training like a normal person trying to pass a test. Build the engine. Run more. Recover better. Stay consistent. And quit acting shocked when the people around you are outworking you.Links:OnesReady.comOperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:04 - ATACLETE and Partner Discounts02:10 - Jared Pietras Sent You a Discount Code02:40 - Ohio and Vegas OTS Updates03:13 - Christmas OTS in Vegas03:23 - Peaches Has Pennsylvania OTS FOMO04:08 - What's Happening at CrossFit Hershey04:34 - The Podcast Must Go On05:03 - Missing OTS Hits Different05:33 - New Guest Instructor at OTS06:00 - Are Candidates Running Enough?06:59 - OTS Alumni Keep Hearing the Same Message08:10 - Recruiters Are Putting in Work08:34 - 40.9 Miles in One Week08:55 - Running for Mental Health and Life09:35 - MTIs and Recruiters Training Hard10:09 - Hyrox, Running, and Real Fitness10:51 - Grandma Is Outworking Pipeline Candidates11:57 - Why Are Normal Airmen Doing More?12:37 - Professional Image Matters13:22 - Stop Making Excuses for Looking Unprepared14:33 - What Started Their Fitness Push?15:31 - Why OTS Breaks People Into Mileage Groups16:00 - Your Numbers Become Your Identity16:31 - Getting Around Fit People Is Sobering17:11 - Fitness Is for the Rest of Your Life18:19 - OTS Is Not Selection19:06 - Why Candidates Are Starving After Land Day20:00 - Some People Do Not Come Back for Day Two20:46 - Long Days Expose Low Volume21:31 - Cadre Wakeups Are a Gift22:01 - Clear Instructions and Megaphones22:38 - Cone Lives Matter23:20 - Everything Cadre Do Is for You24:09 - Old-School Cadre Visits24:59 - Triangle Girls and Keesler Shenanigans26:14 - Guilty Until Proven Innocent27:20 - Can Trainees Escape BMT?27:57 - The McDonald's Sign at Basic28:56 - MTIs Are on Your Side29:48 - Imagine Managing 60 Random Civilians30:38 - Air Force Investment in BMT 3.031:33 - Cut Your MTI Some Slack31:55 - How to Find an Air Force Recruiter33:06 - Find a Recruiter Putting in Miles33:34 - Ohio, Vegas, and Christmas OTS34:06 - Like, Subscribe, and Go RunSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Peter is a great example of someone who proves you can balance music and another career.  He is a serial entrepreneur who founded and sold companies doing such diverse things as weather forecasting for windsurfers, 3D molecular modeling, traffic signal control, photo capture software, and book publishing.  Since he loves the business of making products, he also happily consulted with many companies such as HP, Intel, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Nike, RainBird, Microsoft, and others.  And after selling one of his businesses, he ran research and development for a division of Steelcase, the world's largest office furniture company, for 13 years.  But he's also a musician –playing the string bass (and later the cello) throughout that career and improving his craft.  Today he's a professional bassist in the Atlanta metro area.  Finally, fifteen years ago, Peter was able to merge his love for business and music.  He started Aria Lights which manufactures professional music stand lights.  Today they are considered the gold-standard in symphony orchestras, on Broadway, in pits, and by freelancers throughout North America.  I was lucky enough to spend time with him at the International Double Reed Society conference at Miami University and decided that you needed to get to know him too!www.arialights.competerh@arialights.comwww.score.orgBook a free discovery call with me!

Does America have too many lawyers? Larry looks at the record-setting interest in law school, the ways artificial intelligence is reshaping entry-level legal work and the shortage of attorneys serving rural America. This week's guest is Emersen Kolb, a Fishers High School and Miami University graduate preparing to enter the University of Cincinnati College of Law. She talks with Larry about competing in Trial by Combat, a prestigious mock-trial tournament in which competitors have only 24 hours to prepare a case. Cole also discusses persuasive courtroom storytelling, the educational experiences that led her toward law and her goal of becoming a public defender. Larry wraps up the August 7, 2026 episode with the story of an Arizona motorist who blamed an urgent bathroom need for driving as fast as 112 mph—although that turned out to be the least of his problems. Fridays With Larry is sponsored by Citizens State Bank. Learn more at https://mycsb-in.com/larry.

His father rejected him. His grandmother changed everything. Brad Ryan spent seven and a half years driving across America with his 85-year-old grandmother, visiting all 63 national parks, and quietly healing the wounds his coming out left behind. What started as an adventure became something neither of them expected: a reckoning with family, identity, and the stories gay men tell themselves about who will ever truly accept them. Brad joins Rick to talk about what happens when you stop waiting for the people who hurt you and start showing up for the ones who show up for you. Key Takeaways: Why Brad didn't come out until college and what his father's reaction cost himHow a camping trip in the Smoky Mountains became the turning point with his grandmotherWhy gay men build elaborate stories about rejection that don't match realityWhat intergenerational connection offers gay men that their own community often can'tHow curiosity instead of judgment transforms even the most broken family relationshipsWhy healing doesn't always look like confrontation — sometimes it looks like a road trip About Brad Brad Ryan is a veterinarian, wildlife conservationist, social media influencer, and writer from southeastern Ohio. He earned his BA from Miami University in Ohio, an MSc in mammalian biology from the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and a DVM/MPH combined degree from The Ohio State University, specializing in wildlife medicine and veterinary public health. For Brad, storytelling is a vehicle for healing—rooted in empathy, inspired by nature, and driven by a desire to help others feel seen and connected. As a keynote speaker, he champions LGBTQ+ inclusion in the outdoors, eliminating stigma around mental health, and the protection of wildlife Connect With Brad Website Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Hey Guys, Check This Out!

In "Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with President and COO of Holman Logistics, Mike Gardner, about how the company's 162-year heritage, safety-first culture, and long-term customer partnerships drive sustainable growth in today's supply chain landscape. About Mike Gardner Mike Gardner is the President & COO of Holman Logistics, a national third-party logistics company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. With a 40-plus-year career in supply chain management, Mike has held executive roles at GATX Logistics, APL Logistics, and DHL Supply Chain, previously serving as CEO of Kane Logistics before advising in 3PL, real estate, and venture capital. At Holman, he oversees 1,400 team members, over eight million square feet of distribution space, and a nationwide transportation network. Mike holds an MBA from Southern Illinois University and a Bachelor of Science from Miami University, where he serves on the Center for Supply Chain Excellence board. Passionate about empowering family businesses, he is also a founding board member of ALAN. Beyond logistics, this former high school chef, Cincinnati native, father of three, and marathoner has raised $7.4 million for cancer research over 16 years through Pelotonia. About Holman Logistics Holman Logistics is a national third-party logistics (3PL) provider offering multi-client warehousing, manufacturing support, and nationwide transportation solutions. Founded in 1864 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the privately held company manages over eight million square feet of distribution space and operates a network spanning 20 locations across nine states. Operating with over 1,400 team members, Holman specializes in high-exacting verticals, including consumer packaged goods (CPG), food and beverage, ingredients, pet food, and major appliances. Its core capabilities range from contract warehousing, plant sub-assembly, and Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) services to private fleet shipping, dedicated shuttles, freight brokerage, and direct-to-consumer ecommerce fulfillment. Grounded in a culture prioritizing operational safety and long-term customer partnerships, Holman balances its multi-generational heritage with modern operational capabilities—incorporating advanced automation, continuous improvement programs, and AI-enabled site tools to deliver consistent, high-performance execution. Key Takeaways: Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics In "Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with President and COO of Holman Logistics, Mike Gardner, about how the company's 162-year heritage, safety-first culture, and long-term customer partnerships drive sustainable growth in today's supply chain landscape. Safety as an Operational Strategy ("Journey to Zero"): Holman Logistics treats safety not as a metric compared to industry averages, but as a non-negotiable core value targeting zero incidents. Operational safety sets the foundation for service quality, and every associate is empowered to "own the stop button" to pause unsafe operations. 162+ Years of Adaptability: Founded during the Lincoln administration and family-owned for over a century, Holman's longevity is proof of continuous adaptation—navigating world wars, recessions, deregulation, and eccommerce growth by staying close to customer needs. Culture Drives Retention and Service Consistency: In an industry plagued by high turnover, Holman relies on a people-first, performance-driven culture—reinforced by leadership orientations and awards like the Bob Downie Legacy Award—to retain experienced associates who know the customer's business inside out. True Strategic Partnership Over Transactional Service: Holman builds long-term, embedded relationships (some lasting since the 1960s) using open communication, system integration, and gain-sharing models that align financial incentives around mutual cost savings and continuous improvement. Nimble Innovation Without Tech Hype: Holman balances legacy heritage with modern capabilities. As a privately held "thinking company," it rapidly adopts practical technology—such as AI vision tools on forklifts for training—while quickly discarding tech that doesn't add operational value. Private Ownership as a Strategic Advantage: Unlike 3PLs beholden to private equity exit timelines or quarterly public earnings, Holman's multi-generational family leadership offers stability, long-term capital planning, and agility when customizing solutions for mid-market shippers. Focusing on Core Complex Markets: Holman deliberately specializes in high-exacting verticals—including CPG, ingredients, pet food, and major appliances—providing tailored services ranging from plant sub-assembly and store-door delivery to Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) support and final-mile execution.

Exosomes are one of the most talked about ingredients in skincare right now, but most people buying them have no idea what they are actually paying for. In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Alisa Lask, CEO of Rion Aesthetics and lead of Plated Skin Science, to break down what exosomes really are, why the source they come from matters more than the word on the label, and how platelet-derived exosomes differ from plant and stem cell versions.

Ryan Hawk arrived at Miami University the day after high school graduation, with a plan to earn the starting quarterback job and make it to the NFL. Two years later, a 6'5" kid from somewhere in Ohio showed up and took the job away from him. That kid turned out to be Ben Roethlisberger. What Ryan did with that moment became the entire foundation of The Learning Leader podcast, one of the most respected leadership shows in the country, and his new book The Price of Becoming. He joins Joe and OG to talk about the habits, frameworks, and daily actions that compound into something exceptional -- and what to do when the plan doesn't survive contact with reality.What You'll Walk Away WithCoach Hepp's three-sentence leadership philosophy that Ryan has never forgotten: have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpectedWhy being told "he gives us a better chance to win than you do" was the most valuable coaching Ryan ever received -- and what it teaches about adding value versus wanting creditThe imitate-then-innovate framework: why The Beatles were a cover band first, why Wayne Gretzky took handwritten notes watching players smaller than himself, and why copying the greats isn't theft -- it's the fastest path to finding your own voiceRyan's first draft pick for becoming exceptional: a five-to-ten minute nightly prompt exercise built around one Charlie Munger question that compounds like a great investmentWhy truth tellers -- people willing to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear -- are the most underrated asset in any high performer's lifeThe superpower Ryan has found in every great leader he's interviewed across 11 years and hundreds of conversations: deep, specific curiosity -- and why it's the ultimate form of showing loveSweat more than you watch other people sweat: Scott Galloway's physical discipline framework applied to every area of lifeThe Brock Purdy late-round pick: why bringing a notebook to every meeting -- something almost no intern or young employee does -- is the single easiest way to stand out and learn fasterThe boomerang kids debate: why nearly half of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, when OG thinks it's a great idea, when he thinks you suck, and why it only works if there's a real plan with a real end dateJames from the community: how retiring at 52 let him become his daughter's bank in a hot real estate market -- loan document, market rate, free labor but zero say in the houseWhy This Matters NowThe gap between people who become exceptional and people who almost do isn't talent -- it's the daily actions they're willing to stack. This episode is the practical blueprint for what those actions actually look like.From the BasementRyan Hawk joins Joe and OG to talk about getting benched, the imitate-then-innovate path from cover band to original voice, and the five draft picks that build a great life -- including one that Joe immediately connects to hiding money from himself. The Wall Street Journal's piece on boomerang kids gives OG a platform to explain exactly when it's smart, when it's lazy, and why his kids should not take this as an invitation. Doug arrives with Cleveland trivia and the story of how a newspaper's cheap typesetting permanently changed the name of a major American city. James from the community sends a letter that makes OG quietly admit he was wrong about the appraisal.Resources MentionedThe Price of Becoming: The Compounding Practices of High Performance by Ryan Hawk -- available wherever books are soldThe Learning Leader podcast -- Ryan Hawk; available wherever you listen to podcasts; learningleader.comSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon -- referenced for the imitate-then-innovate frameworkSet for Life by Scott Trench -- referenced for Joe's kids; biggerpockets.comBroke Millennial by Erin Lowry -- referenced for Joe's kids; brokemillennial.comWall Street Journal -- "Living With Your Parents Is No Longer Viewed as a Failure to Launch" by Rebecca Picciotto and Nicholas G.

Last academic year colleges and universities across the US struggled with whether to mandate COVID vaccinations for their students. While colleges often require vaccines, the political controversy surrounding the COVID shots made adopting a vaccine policy a complicated undertaking. But according to one study, it had a profound impact on the national COVID death toll last fall. That's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Riley Acton. Riley Acton is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Miami University, as well as a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) and the College Crisis Initiative (C2i). She is an applied microeconomist who specializes in labor economics and the economics of education. Her current work examines the causes and consequences of decisions made by higher education institutions, the effect of local labor market shocks on K-12 and college students, and the impact of school finance policies on educational outcomes.

Let us know what you think about this episode and share it with a friend!Success can go to your head. Failure can go to your heart. And if you're building something from scratch, it's easy to let the business decide who you are.We sit down with Brett Smith, Executive Director of the Center for LIFE at Miami University (Leading the Integration of Faith and Entrepreneurship), to dig into what founders rarely say out loud: entrepreneurship is a tough, lonely sport that can amplify stress, shame, and identity swings. Brett shares what his research reveals about the “high highs and low lows” of entrepreneurial life and why a founder's identity often rises and falls right along with revenue, funding, and momentum.Then we get practical. Brett explains how a relational identity with God can act as a stabilizing counterbalance to entrepreneurial identity, affirming you in the lows and humbling you in the highs. We also unpack why success can be just as destabilizing as failure, how faith can shape decision making when the information is ambiguous, and why translating academically rigorous research into everyday language actually matters for entrepreneurs, investors, and teams.Finally, we point you to free tools through Faith Driven Entrepreneur's Research Insights and share where to learn more about the Center for LIFE, including resources on faith-driven entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship.

Hi, friends, and welcome back to our series, "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling." where we take a close look at personal essays written by real students, talking about why we love them, what makes them work, and how they came to be.  In this episode, I'm joined by Hillary Dickman, Senior Assistant Director of Admission at Colorado College. In past episodes, we've really broken down these essays and gotten into the nooks and crannies of what makes them work. But in this episode, I really wanted to get a sense of how Hillary sees essays from an admission reader's perspective. We get into:  What Hillary hopes to learn about a student when she sits down to read their essay What a great essay can do that the rest of the application can't How much essays matter and whether or not that's changed over the last few years. Why Colorado College does not have any AI reading essays or applications and doesn't have plans to. She gives us an inside look at what it's like having your essay read in committee by as many as 13 people, and There's a moment in the episode where she imagines that I'm the co-reader reading the application with her and gives me the notes that she would give on the student if I was in the admission office with her. I loved our conversation. I hope you enjoy it too. Hillary Dickman is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and holds a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Speech Communication from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She began her career in higher education teaching at the University of Cincinnati and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Since 2021, she's been part of the admission team at Colorado College, and has also navigated the college admission process as a parent — her older daughter is a recent graduate of Wellesley College, and her younger one is a student at Colorado College.   Play-by-Play: 2:12 – What is often happening in admission offices during April and May? 3:14 – When Hillary reads a college essay, what is she hoping to learn about a student? 4:55 – What can a great essay do that the other parts of the application cannot? 6:05 – Hillary sets context for the essay and the student who wrote it. 7:35 – Hillary reads the essay, which we're calling, "Where I Grew Up." 11:59 – How does the author explore community building through this essay?  15:09 – What is the benefit to orienting the reader towards the topic early in the essay?  17:43 – Hillary describes the process of reading applications in teams and presenting files to a partner. 20:35 – Hillary breaks down how an admissions committee works. 24:15 – Hillary shares what makes it easy to advocate for a student and why real self-reflection stands out. 26:23 – Ethan and Hillary break down why a recurring theme and unique details  can make your essay stand out when admissions officers are reading quickly. 31:12 – Why does Colorado College choose not to use AI systems to read student applications? 35:23 – How do small, specific memories keep an admissions officer engaged in your story? 40:06 – Does Hillary see the importance or role of the college essay changing in the future? 46:43 – What does Hillary love about her job? 49:12 – Closing thoughts Resources: "Where I Grew Up" Essay State of College Admission - National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) What do colleges look for in students?   College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub  

Award-winning author Wil Haygood joins Michael Stauch to discuss The War within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home (Knopf, 2026) his new book on the experiences of Black soldiers during the first war fought with an integrated military, the Vietnam War. Through the lives of seven soldiers, a pianist, and a wartime journalist, Haygood details how Black soldiers' attempts to rise through their merits in the military came up against white racism within that same military, even as the Civil Rights movement scored significant gains domestically, through the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Highlights include: How VA employee Maude DeVictor helped expose the effects of Agent Orange on returning veterans; Pilot Fred Cherry's flight “from segregation to integration” before spending five years as the first African American prisoner of war in Vietnam; Art Gregg's distinguished career in military logistics, culminating in renaming Fort Robert E. Lee in his honor (before that fort was again renamed under the Trump administration); The power of monuments and memorials to shape public memory and inspire future generations, as in the memorial to Henry O. Flipper, the first Black graduate of West Point, in former secretary of defense Lloyd Austin's hometown; Wil's soon-to-be legendary rendition of Marvin Gaye's antiwar masterpiece, “What's Going On.” Guest: Wil Haygood is the author of ten nonfiction books, many of which have won literary awards. His book, The Butler, was made into a film directed by Lee Daniels. Haygood has been a correspondent for the Washington Post and The Boston Globe, where he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. In 2022, he received the Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award from the Dayton Peace Prize Foundation. A Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow, Haygood is currently Boadway Visiting Distinguished Scholar at Miami University in Ohio and has recently been elected to the prestigious American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

In "Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas" Joe Lynch and Scott Brinner, Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, discuss how fleets can cut emissions while boosting their bottom line. Efficiency meets sustainability. About Scott Brinner Scott Brinner serves as the executive Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, where he is responsible for developing and executing the division's strategy, business development and expansion. His prior experiences include working as a CPA with Ernst & Young, executive vice president, Corporate Development & Strategic Accounts, at OmniTRAX, and as an investment banker with Wells Fargo and Raymond James, where he advised companies in transportation/logistics and waste/environmental services. Scott has an MBA from the University of Chicago and received both a BS, in Accounting and Finance, as well as a Master's in Accountancy, from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.  About Nopetro Energy Founded in 2008, Nopetro Energy is a vertically integrated energy leader focused on the production and distribution of renewable natural gas (RNG) for heavy duty transportation and industrial consumption. The company provides end-to-end energy and transportation management solutions, helping government agencies and companies strengthen fuel independence and create lasting economic value. Nopetro designs, builds, finances and operates both renewable natural gas production plants and fueling stations, allowing fleets to transition to this substantially less expensive, cleaner and domestically produced alternative to diesel. Visit www.nopetroenergy.com to discover how Nopetro is leading the way to a more energy-independent and financially predictable future. Key Takeaways: Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas In "Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas" Joe Lynch and Scott Brinner, Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, discuss how fleets can cut emissions while boosting their bottom line. Efficiency meets sustainability. RNG as a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Driver: Unlike many "green" technologies that require a financial sacrifice, transitioning to Renewable Natural Gas can actually lower the total cost of ownership. While the trucks may have a higher upfront cost (roughly $70k–$90k more), the significantly lower and more stable fuel prices can lead to a payback period of just 2 to 3 years. The "Closed Ecosystem" of RNG: RNG is a vertically integrated solution that captures organic waste from landfills, dairy farms, and wastewater treatment plants. By cleaning these molecules and putting them into the pipeline, Nopetro turns a potential environmental pollutant into a high-performance fuel that can achieve zero or even negative carbon emissions. The Game-Changing Cummins X15N Engine: Historically, the trucking industry lacked an engine with the power and torque required for heavy-duty, 80,000+ lb loads. The new 15-liter natural gas engine from Cummins is a "workhorse" that matches diesel performance, range, and horsepower, removing the primary technical barrier for over-the-road fleets. Fuel Price Stability vs. Diesel Volatility: Because RNG is domestic and tied to stable natural gas indices rather than global oil markets, it protects fleets from "spikes" caused by international conflict. This allows for predictable budgeting and even the potential for long-term, fixed-price fuel contracts—unheard of in the diesel world. Proven Success in Adjacent Sectors: While OTR trucking is in the early stages of adoption, the waste management and transit industries have already proven the model. Nearly 50% of waste refuse trucks and 40% of transit buses in the U.S. now run on natural gas because it is more economical and easier to maintain. Infrastructure and "Behind the Fence" Solutions: Fleet owners don't have to wait for a public station on every corner. Nopetro specializes in building dedicated fueling stations directly at or near truck terminals. This "hub and spoke" approach ensures that dedicated routes have reliable, high-pressure fueling exactly where they need it. Sustainability as a Competitive Edge: Large shippers (the Scope 1 and Scope 3 emission-focused companies) are increasingly looking for "greener" partners. Trucking companies using RNG can offer a cleaner solution at the same or lower price than diesel, often securing longer-term contracts (5–7 years) by providing the carbon-neutral results that customers demand.

Travis Steele has quickly transformed Miami University men's basketball into one of the most talked-about programs in the country. In just his tenure with the RedHawks, Steele led the program to its best season in school history, finishing an incredible 32–2 and earning an NCAA Tournament victory. Miami (OH) captured national attention with an undefeated regular season, forcing its way into the spotlight as one of the most dominant mid-major teams in the nation. At the center of that rise has been Steele's offensive system, which has turned the RedHawks into one of the most explosive teams in the country. Miami (OH) finished fourth nationally in scoring offense, driven by a modern, fast-paced approach with a heavy emphasis on three-point shooting and spacing. Their ability to stretch defenses, create open looks, and consistently knock down shots from deep made them incredibly difficult to guard and a nightmare matchup for opponents all season long. Even with all that success, Miami (OH) remained at the center of national debate due to its strength of schedule, with critics questioning their résumé and tournament worthiness. Steele's group embraced the conversation and used it as fuel, proving people wrong with every win and ultimately validating themselves on the NCAA Tournament stage. With a new arena project underway and momentum at an all-time high, the RedHawks are not just a one-year story—they're building toward a future where this level of success becomes the standard.

Things Discussed: Howard preview: Their center isn't a center, but he's mini-Yaxel. Takeaways from BTT: Brian/Craig/Sam: The Purdue game was just a ref show—Oscar Cluff is a a) Buffalo, b) Oaf, c) deliberately running guys over and cheating on screens. Michigan doesn't have enough galoots. Seth: I've moved on. Biggest concern is Michigan vs Wisconsin: bringing too much help to the rim when we have some five-out teams (Saint Louis!) in the first weekend. Georgia and St. Louis. Georgia is soft—they have a shot-blocker and a lot of guards who can get their own points. Robbie Avila looks like Seth Fisher—he looks like a gumnut out there—but he's very skilled, especially at setting his guys up. I really like their four, Amari McCottry. Yaxel, take over man! Lots of opportunities to get him vs a mouse in the house and they didn't make the read. Michigan seemed to want to use Rez in that spot instead and he didn't have an inspired week. Pickin upsets: UNI over St. John's? Can slow the game to a grind. Kinda think NDSU? They've rediscovered the lost art of the defensive-invariant floater—not saying I am picking a 14 over a 3 but that's the one. Craig: Anyone notice they got Hurley, Izzo, and Cronin all in the same corner of the bracket? Poor Johnny Dawkins: what did I do to end up with these guys? Going further than their seed: Arkansas and Acuff. He's going to be a lottery pick, Arkansas paid for him and it was worth it. Calipari teams are kids at the start of the year (when they played MSU) but by the Tourney they're not freshmen anymore. OT: [BREAKING NEWS: Cade Cunningham will be out 8-10 weeks with a collapsed lung.] Billy Donlon in at EMU. Why did he leave Michigan? Not saying. In break: Does Michigan get an NIL discount? Champions Circle doesn't want to say so but yeah, when the money is close it's about lifestyle. Texas should get a Tournament ban for getting in last year and this year. Their best nonconference win: NC State. Bubble was terrible this year but that doesn't mean a mid SEC team should get in. Miami University is the perfect Tournament invite: They understood the assignment. Whom to invite instead of bubbly major conference teams? Mid-majors who won their conferences. Illinois in the Final Four? Yeah, they've got size and Wagler can shoot them to Indy (I had Nebraska taking out Florida). Houston takes such ugly shots, Illinois will make them uglier. Who can expose their frontcourt? Well, Florida.

Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander open with Kansas and BYU struggles. Will the likely top two picks in the 2026 NBA Draft have any impact on March? Then, it was a huge night for bubble wins & the Wednesday Whiparound catches you up on everything you missed on Tuesday night. (0:00) Intro + Norlander prepped this pod (3:40) AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson take stinky losses on Tuesday (13:50) Bubble Watch: starting with UCLA in the pacific time zone (18:00) Cincinnati is fighting ‘til the very end (23:00) Miami University is 30-0 (27:30) Texas A&M beats Kentucky and is knocking on the door of the dance (31:30) VCU beats George Mason .. the Rams are right there + other bubble wins (34:15) Now the Bubble Losers: Mizzou, UCF and more (38:40) Wednesday Whiparound: Georgia, UNC/St. John's escape, Florida/Illinois stomp (53:11) Naismith Watch List (57:30) Looking ahead to the next two days Theme song: “Timothy Leary,” written, performed and courtesy of Guster Eye on College Basketball is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
