Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Jordan

Do you have any favorite clothing or food brands? If so, the company likely used some celebrity to showcase why their product is great. For example, “Our sports drink gives you the energy to shoot consistent 3-pointers. Just ask Michael Jordan.” Having a good example helps drive sales for companies. Today, Pastor Mark will teach that you ought to be a good example for Christ. Preaching the Gospel is one thing, but living it out makes it that much more appealing to others. The world is watching your actions to see if they line up with your beliefs. Will they find a true believer? Or will they just find empty words?

Send us Fan MailThink you can just catch the next autograph signing?Sometimes you can—but sometimes the rules change, certain items are no longer allowed, or the opportunity disappears completely.In this episode of The Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, Matt talks about this after recently taking part in another Patrick Mahomes autograph signing.We discuss why collectors shouldn't assume an athlete will always keep signing, how restrictions on cards, jerseys, helmets and inscriptions can change from one signing to the next, and why exclusive autograph deals can suddenly limit access.We also look at athletes like Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and others to show how quickly signing opportunities can change.This doesn't mean you should spend outside your budget.But if there's an athlete you really want, the item you want is currently allowed, and the price makes sense for you, sometimes you need to take advantage of the opportunity while it's there.Because there isn't always a next autograph signing.https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we're both back in our respective homes before traveling again. Our show is about modern watches destined to become classics. Now, before you accuse us of focusing on money, erase those thoughts! We don't care about value. No, we are talking about watches that will be interesting several decades from now.Predicting the future is difficult, but we're here to try! This week, we're focused on modern watches that will command respect in the coming decades. As you'll see, we have some caveats. We chose relatively affordable pieces instead of haute horlogerie models. And we both chose three, for a total of six watches. We hope you enjoy the show!HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our show with a bit of travel talk, but we quickly shift to the screen. Shows including I Will Find You, Lanterns, DTF St. Louis, and Half Man get mentions. Then, Balazs brings up an upcoming auction for the 1998 Game 3 NBA Finals jersey from Michael Jordan. It's listed on Joopiter and will be up for auction with an estimate of $10 to $15 million! We end our banter with a mention of Instagram user @dewesyy, who is filming the cobbling together of a Porsche 911 Targa from two rough beaters. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing his trusty Rolex Submariner 14060M from 2011. Balazs is sporting his Ming 22.01 GMT Kyoto.The modern watches we'll still be talking about in 20 yearsWe kick off our main topic by mentioning the one and only Bvlgari Octo Finissimo. While this watch may not fit every wrist, it's a stunning object. Perhaps Bvlgari will never take this watch out of production, or maybe it will evolve into something different. Still, there's no denying that the current watches are arresting. We think they'll still be grabbing attention in the long run.For Mike's first pick, the original 42mm Tudor Pelagos in black, blue, or LHD still stands out as a landmark watch. More than the Black Bay, these were non-retro releases and were the first titanium "Rolex." Aside from moving to an in-house caliber, the watch has barely changed since its 2012 debut in 2012. We'd be surprised if the model doesn't change soon, but the original will always be special.Next up, we mention the Ming 17-series. It's hard to believe, but Mike first reviewed a 17.06 Slate back in 2019. This started his love affair with the brand, and it was ultimately contagious. Now, Balazs is hooked too! The 17.09 was a watershed moment for both of us, as we each own one.Technical powerhousesFrom a technical perspective, it's hard to fault the Sinn EZM collection. These pieces are the brand's most focused and hardcore tool watches, made for specific jobs. Models like the EZM 1 are the most famous, but all of them are worth owning. Due to the innovation and design, we're confident that all of these editions will be discussed in the future.Balazs brings up the Grand Seiko SLGH005 White Birch from 2021, a watch that created a craze for the upscale Japanese brand. People went nuts for the White Birch when it came out, and any time GS releases another silvery-white dial, there's a similar fervor. The 40mm steel reference comes equipped with the brand's satisfying and mesmerizing 9SA5 Hi-Beat automatic movement. Yes, Grand Seiko makes a lot of watches, but there will only be one original White Birch.Finally, Mike suggests that the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer is one of the modern watches that will be a future classic. Honestly, we forget how impressive Nomos is with its in-house movements and escapements. The latest Worldtimer is a cool watch available in several flavors. With its thin caliber and multi-city display, this is and always will be a great daily (and global) accessory.We hope you enjoy today's show, and thank you for listening. As always, if you have future show ideas, please let us know!

Gary Gray is widely known throughout the movement and rehabilitation industry as the “Father of Function.” He is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Content Creator of Gray Institute® and GIFT (Gray Institute for Functional Transformation), the organization he built more than four decades ago in Adrian, Michigan, originally as a physical therapy clinic, performance training facility, and educational institution. Gary is the originator of Applied Functional Science® (AFS), a discipline he developed alongside Dr. David Tiberio that reframes the human body as an integrated chain reaction rather than a collection of isolated parts. Over his career, Gary has worked with elite athletes including Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, and his teaching has shaped a generation of clinicians and coaches across the sports medicine and performance industries. His contributions to the field earned him the John H.P. Maley Award for Outstanding Contributions to Leadership in Research from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

But most people don't fail because they pick the wrong business. They fail because they become the bottleneck, mistaking being needed for being successful. This episode breaks down the three types of bottlenecks that destroy businesses and the four-step framework for escaping the trap of heroism. From Sam Walton's obsession with control to Michael Jordan learning to trust his team, you'll learn why your business can only grow to the size of your current self, and how to finally grow beyond it. In this episode, you'll learn: The three bottlenecks killing your business: decision, delivery, and direction, and how to identify which one is choking your growth right now Why Henry Ford lost half his market share by doubling down on control while Alfred Sloan built GM into the number one company for 77 straight years using four simple principles The rescue tally framework: how tracking every time you jump in to save the day reveals the hidden cost of being the hero and why that addiction to being needed is destroying your freedom Why businesses without owner dependency are worth 4.5 times profit while owner dependent businesses are worth almost nothing, and how doing less can make your business worth millions more The amputation principle: how cutting yourself out of daily operations isn't losing control, it's gaining leverage, and why the best operators know that being irreplaceable makes you worthless ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: Sam Walton's Tape Measure and the Trap of Being a Hero (00:00:44) Don't Be a Hero: Why Superman Thinking Kills Your Business (00:02:04) The Necker Island Story: When I Chose My Business Over Richard Branson (00:04:18) Henry Ford's Market Share Collapse: When Control Becomes Your Enemy (00:05:47) Alfred Sloan's Four Principles: How GM Beat Ford for 77 Years Straight (00:06:55) Steve Jobs, Travis Kalanick, and the Elevator Fire Test (00:08:39) The Three Bottlenecks: Decision, Delivery, and Direction (00:10:43) Why Most Systems Suck and How the 12P Diagnostic Fixes That (00:12:50) The Amputation: Cutting Your Identity Away From Your Company (00:13:33) Michael Jordan's Triangle Offense: Six Rings by Trusting the System (00:15:39) The Chief of Staff Hire: How Azad Saved Me $62K a Month in 90 Days (00:18:14) The Owner Dependency Tax: Why Being Irreplaceable Costs You Millions (00:20:10) The Ultimate Life Hack: Just Decide You're Not Doing That Again ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

In this episode Kent brings together Princess Diana, Dolly Parton, Night Train Lane, and Bob Knight in one sharp, funny, and off-the-cuff conversation about fame, legacy, sports, and the strange stories that stick with us. If you like your podcast with Texas flavor, old-school opinion, and a few surprises along the way, this one is for you. Kent opens with a memorable saying from Princess Diana, then moves through the public lives of iconic figures who stayed above the political fray and earned broad respect for it. From Diana's humanitarian work to Dolly Parton's country-music legacy and Michael Jordan's famous line about shoes, this episode keeps circling back to what makes public figures endure. You'll hear stories and commentary on: Why Princess Diana still resonates nearly three decades after her death How Dolly Parton became a beloved ambassador for Nashville, country music, and her own roots The wild origin story of Night Train Lane, including the moment that helped cement his legend Why Bob Knight inspired zero undecided opinions Stupid-criminal headlines, from a Chuck E. Cheese fight to a child with access to a gun College football chaos, including early-season surprises, quarterback pressure, and the latest rule fights Kent Hance also touches on university rankings tied to job outcomes, the hardest positions in sports, a stolen Picasso left behind like it was nothing, and the strange ways public figures, athletes, and even criminals end up making headlines. The result is part sports talk, part cultural commentary, part newspaper riff — and completely unpredictable. What makes this episode worth your time is the range: one minute you're hearing about Diana's legacy and the next you're in the middle of a classic Texas-style detour that lands on football, city naming debates, or the latest absurd news story. It's a reminder that the best storytellers can turn almost anything into something worth listening to. Perfect for listeners who enjoy candid opinions, Texas sports chatter, and stories with personality, attitude, and a little bit of bite.

Cortez burned his fleet so retreat wasn't an option. Michael Jordan packed one suit to Game 6. This week we'rasking whether "burn the ships" — the ultimate no-plan-B business philosophy — actually holds up for actors, parents, or anyone trying to build something with real stakes attached. We talk audition psychology, the 12-month rule, the year Ashley "scorched earth"-ed her way into a string of bookings, and end up at the zoo watching our toddler make his own risk-assessment call on a flight of stairs. Married actors, real marriage, real business talk.Full episode also available on YouTube!

Hey Heal Squad! It's Friday, we fooled them again, and somehow made it through another week.

Plus, with Mercedes chasing history, why presentation matters, what Michael Jordan understood about looking the part, and how sometimes showing the world your value starts with remembering it yourself. Plus, the $70 econo suit, Ziploc bag travel hacks, and proof that no matter how important the room, Regular Guy Kev can still rock it like a United flight attendant. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

What Gifts of the Holy Spirit Are Available to You? 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.” I wanted to go over this scripture today because someone brought it up in my mentoring group. I think it's something we should talk about. I don't have all the answers. I am not an expert on theology or on the Bible. So what I'm going to give you right now is what I've learned over the past several years. Yes, there are different kinds of gifts from the Holy Spirit. We just went over some of them in this verse. There's wisdom, the gift of knowledge, the gift of faith, the gift of healing, the gift of miraculous powers, the gift of prophecy, another distinguishing between spirits, and another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and also the interpretation of tongues. So these are all gifts that are given by the same Holy Spirit. The question in my mentoring group is: this says the Spirit is given to each one for the common good. To one is given this gift and to one is given that gift. Meaning that some of us are given certain gifts, but that we don't all have the same gifts. And what I've learned over the last few years is that, yes, it's true. The Holy Spirit gives each person different gifts. So somebody might be really good at healing. They might have a charism of healing, or they might be really good at prophecy, or they might be really good at messages of wisdom or messages of knowledge. And that's amazing. And also, just because you weren't given, or don't feel like you were given, a special gift for healing, it doesn't mean you can't become amazing at that gift. It doesn't mean that God can't give you more of that gift. And I think that that is actually proven in this scripture where it says, all these are the work of one and the same Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us these gifts. And every single one of us has the Holy Spirit living inside of us. That means every single one of us has access to every single one of these gifts. I was listening to Mary Healy one time at a HOPE conference, who was saying that even though some people are given a charism of healing, if you want the gift of healing, ask God for the gift of healing every single day. Practice praying for people for healing. Read books on healing. Dive all into healing if that's a gift that means a lot to you or that you want to develop. And the analogy I feel like the Lord gave me last night was that everybody is born with innate talents. Some people are really good at sports. And then there are other people who weren't blessed with the gift of sports at all. Let's take basketball as an example. Did you know that Michael Jordan did not make the varsity basketball high school team at first? That prompted him to practice more, and now some people say he is the best of all time. There is a woman I heard speak at a conference who was a runner but wanted to do triathlons. She didn't know how to even swim. Two years later, she is winning a medal at the Olympics. Just because they weren't born being really good at it doesn't mean they couldn't develop the skill. Again, they're gifts, so they come from the Holy Spirit. However, you can develop those gifts by asking the Lord for them, by practicing praying for them or praying over people for them. That's what the Encounter School of Ministry was all about. It was teaching us about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and then activating us in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Not just one, but in all of them. We practiced asking God for a word and then releasing it. And was every single word that we released perfect and straight from God? Absolutely not. But when we released the word, we asked for feedback. We asked, did that resonate with you? Did that make sense? Did you feel like that was from the Lord? And sometimes they'd say yes, and we would grow because we'd know, what did it feel like when we heard that? What did our body react to when we heard that word? And then if they say no, that's not a bad thing either because we grow from that as well. We learn from that feedback. Yeah, I really didn't feel strongly about it, but I released it in faith that it might be from the Lord. And the Lord is going to bless our efforts. He's going to bless our desires and our wants. So if we want to develop one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit or multiple gifts of the Holy Spirit, all we have to do is call upon the Holy Spirit because the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside of each and every one of us. And that is amazing. That changes everything. When you know that, when you really know that through the depths of your soul, that changes everything. You can become invincible because you know that the Holy Spirit is inside of you and that he's protecting you and that he's leading you and that he's supporting you in all the ways that you want to grow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. So yes, it is true that the Holy Spirit, as the Bible says, gives certain gifts to certain people. And it is also true that each one of us has the Holy Spirit living inside of us. So if we hear about a gift we would like to develop, we need to ask the Holy Spirit for it, learn about it, practice it, and maybe find a mentor who is especially gifted in that gift. And then they can mentor us, and the Holy Spirit will reward our efforts and our desires. Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless each and every person listening to this episode today. Lord, I want to thank you for giving us the Holy Spirit, Jesus. I want to thank you for dying on the cross and then going up to be with the Father so that we could all have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. Lord, I ask that you increase our desires for the Holy Spirit, that you show us which gifts we have, which ones we've already been blessed with, and also give us the courage to ask for the ones we want and to practice and learn about the ones that we want that we may not feel like we have. I ask that you help us really embrace the Holy Spirit living inside of us. Help us to know what that means for each one of us. We love you so much, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus'holy name, amen. Thank you so much for... Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I. Have a blessed day. Today's word from the Lord was received in February 2026 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group, these words, or how to join us for a meeting, please email catholiccharismaticprayergroup@gmail.com.

Jason Mayden walked into Jordan Brand in 2001 as its first design intern. He designed the Air Jordan 2009 and the Jordan CP3.II, left in 2014 to build his own companies, and came back a decade later to run design for the entire brand. This past May he stepped out of that job into one that did not exist until he took it, VP of Jordan Visioneering and LA28 Creative Lead.We talked about the Air Jordan 41, and about almost everything except the spec sheet.He explains what he had to unpack coming back into the building, and lands on the line that frames the whole conversation, that this is a reverential era and not a referential one. He responds to what Leo Chang and Donald Kelsey found on the road this year, six months of research across three continents where not one young athlete asked for the heritage colors. He makes the case that the women's game is where the next real change in basketball footwear comes from, and explains why he studies technical boxing to think about design.He talks about the Air Jordan XX3 and working alongside Mark Smith, Tinker Hatfield, and Tom Foxen when the fight was over solvent free glue. He talks about the crew building the game shoe now, and what it was like to watch them come into their own. He talks about criticism, and why indifference is the only reaction that would bother him.And he tells the story of being seven years old in a hospital bed, fighting a blood infection, imagining himself as Lucius Fox working for Michael Jordan, who he thought was Bruce Wayne. That is where the word visioneering comes from.One line from this conversation has stayed with me since we recorded it. You never really finish an Air Jordan, you just run out of time.Nick Engvall has worked in the sneaker industry for over two decades.

¿Y si el arte no fuera solo una pasión, sino la herramienta financiera más poderosa que existe? En este episodio de Dimes y Billetes hablamos con Filippo Giusti, artista italiano radicado en San Miguel de Allende, sobre por qué decidió romper el mito del "artista bohemio pobre" para convertir su obra en un negocio serio. También cuenta su historia personal: de crecer con dislexia y sentirse "el seis más triste de la historia" en la escuela, pasar por una carrera fallida como actor en Roma, mudarse a México por amor y llegar a la Ciudad de México justo antes del terremoto de 2017, hasta descubrir su vocación como pintor.Prueba café el Capitalhttps://cafeelcapital.com/s/08a4840:00 – "El arte es un bien de lujo, es un negocio" 1:43 – El origen histórico del negocio del arte: Van Gogh, el MoMA y el mito del "artista bohemio pobre"4:10 – Por qué el mito del "pintor pobre" es un sistema de creencias limitante 4:59 – El Renacimiento: Miguel Ángel y los mecenas que financiaban el arte 6:16 – Su visión: el arte como bien de lujo y estilo de vida sofisticado 6:43 – Por qué rompió el patrón del artista pobre para ser financieramente exitoso 8:12 – "Véndeles lo que quieren, dales lo que necesitan": su filosofía de negocio 9:03 – Los dos tipos de coleccionistas: los que buscan belleza y los que buscan inversión 11:02 – Su colaboración con el banco Kimber 12:23 – Cómo transformó los desayunos de "perspectivas económicas" en exposiciones de arte 16:40 – Su estrategia con museos: exponer en espacios de prestigio sube el valor de su obra 10–15% 18:44 – La triada ganadora: el artista, el capital y la institución artística 20:13 – Por qué apalancarse del mercado no "mancha" al artista 21:06 – Los dos extremos del arte: el 100% comercial vs. el purista 23:07 – Su niñez: bueno en arte, "malo" en matemáticas según la escuela 25:15 – La fórmula que escribió: Máximo Potencial = Pasión + Propósito 26:46 – Cómo encontró su propósito: promover la empatía a través de sus retratos 29:36 – El Renacimiento revisado: cómo la Iglesia y los Medici usaban el arte como branding 31:34 – "El arte es una imprenta de dinero": el valor subjetivo del arte 33:16 – El uso controversial del arte para deducir impuestos 34:44 – Por qué el arte abstracto no tiene reglas objetivas de valor 36:58 – La analogía de la firma de Michael Jordan: el valor de la historia detrás del objeto 39:39 – Por qué decidió no depender de galerías y ser dueño de su propia marca 41:36 – San Miguel de Allende: su lista de espera de dos años 46:50 – Su historia: nace en Livorno, Italia, y el choque con las expectativas de sus padres 47:56 – Su etapa como actor en Italia y por qué tocó fondo 52:21 – Cómo conoció a Paulina, su prometida, y la decisión de mudarse a México 53:25 – Llegar a México justo antes del terremoto de 2017 55:51 – El negocio de pieles que fracasó (y por qué fue una bendición) 56:35 – Descubrir Fábrica La Aurora: la comunidad de artistas que le cambió la vida 59:47 – Su rutina: pintar hasta 10 horas al día 1:00:33 – Su dislexia y el aprendizaje autodidacta en YouTube 1:09:45 – Su mentor Yago Partal, el escultor hiperrealista italiano 1:12:54 – La filosofía de Yago: "el verdadero éxito es no vender todo" 1:14:19 – Su estrategia de mantener su obra como inventario que se aprecia con el tiempo 1:18:31 – El caso de la familia Rothko: cuando el coleccionista gana más que el artista 1:19:32 – El coleccionista que le enseñó a compartir la plusvalía con el artista 1:21:41 – Su próxima serie "Mentores": retratos de quienes lo inspiraron 1:24:12 – Cómo contactarlo y su próxima exposición en Nueva York

Brian pays tribute to the passing of Dolly Parton at 80, reflecting on her decades-long marriage, her genuine kindness, and closing the hour with nine of her most striking public statements about prayer, faith, and heaven. He shares a bizarre and troubling story of four Georgia pastors publicly apologizing after sending anonymous packets falsely accusing another pastor of plagiarism, reflecting on the need for churches to hold themselves to a higher standard. Brian digs into John Piper's teaching on "the pleasure trap" — how earthly pleasures are meant to point our hearts toward God rather than become idols — and shares Alan Noble's Gospel Coalition piece arguing that a Christian's suffering, while mysterious, is never meaningless. He closes reflecting on financial anxiety and contentment after reading about a Michael Jordan jersey expected to sell for $10 million alongside rising healthcare cost anxiety among ordinary Americans, along with the surprising power of nostalgic worship music to remind us of God's faithfulness over time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sports card market is always changing, and this week on The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper catches up with Ty from Slab Factory to break down what’s happening across the hobby. Are collectors moving away from prospecting and back toward established legends? Ty explains the rise of the “GOAT market” and why cards featuring names like Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders, Peyton Manning, Shaquille O’Neal and other all-time greats are starting to see renewed interest. The guys also discuss whether there could ever be another Tom Brady-type investment and why Brock Purdy could be an intriguing name for collectors. Then they dive deep into the world of grading and authentication, including the controversial Mike Baker Authentication “Diamond Crossover” certification, PSA’s blue autograph labels and the massive premiums attached to Beckett Black Labels. You’ll also hear the incredible story of a Pokémon card that sold for more than $200,000 because only two copies received a Beckett Black Label. Ty also brings in some of his latest pickups, including a Christian Watson one-of-one autograph, Penny Hardaway inserts and some examples of how collectors can find cards priced below recent sales. Plus, Dan and Ty talk about how to properly research card values, why you should pay attention to actual sales instead of eBay asking prices, how tools like Card Ladder and 130 Point can help, and a simple trick for determining whether a player's overall card market is trending up or down. If you're a collector, investor, flipper or just getting back into the hobby, there's plenty to take away from this episode.

Have you ever seen a card, known almost nothing about it, and wanted to buy it anyway? Joshua Adams joins Jeremy Lee, David Chase and Joe Poirot for a conversation about one of the most enjoyable parts of collecting: discovering something completely new. Jeremy explains how an Isaiah Thomas Superfractor he had never seen before got him thinking about buying cards before knowing the checklist, the population, the comps or even much about the set itself. Joe admits he's frequently bought first and figured out exactly what he purchased later, while David explains why his move into non-sports cards has him doing the same thing with cards of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe and others. Sometimes the card is cool enough that you simply want it. The guys also debate whether you need to actually be a fan of an athlete to collect their cards. Can you appreciate a great card of a player you have no emotional connection to? Do you need to justify what you collect at all? Then they dig into the extraordinary number of seven-figure card sales happening right now. Four million-dollar cards sold through Heritage in a single night, including a T206 Honus Wagner, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and a Michael Jordan buyback autograph. Add the $1.28 million Macklin Celebrini sale and several other recent results, and August alone has produced an incredible run of million-dollar transactions. Is this simply a hot market, or are we watching the upper end of the hobby enter an entirely different era? Finally, the conversation comes back to discovery and why stumbling into an entirely new collecting lane, whether it's Mickey Mouse, memorabilia cards, vintage non-sports or something you've walked past for years without noticing, can be one of the best parts of the hobby.

In this episode of Encourage Mindset, Ethan Van De Hey sits down with Dylan Haugen, an 18-year-old professional dunker, content creator, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Local Service Spotlight. Dylan shares the story behind his rise in the dunking world, from watching Michael Jordan videos as a kid and practicing on low rims to competing in the DunkMan League alongside some of the best dunkers in the world.Dylan talks about what it's like performing in front of thousands of people, competing against athletes like three-time NBA Dunk Contest champion Mac McClung, and handling the pressure that comes with performing at the highest level. His approach is simple: trust the work you've put in, focus on the process, and treat big moments like something you've already experienced.The conversation goes beyond basketball and dunking. Dylan explains how his passion for dunking eventually led him into content creation, podcasting, digital marketing, and personal branding. What started without a clear plan slowly became a collection of skills that are now helping him build his own brand while also helping other athletes and local businesses.Dylan also shares how he helped create the Minnesota Dunk Squad, why surrounding yourself with people who share your passion can accelerate your growth, and why he believes there are always new things to learn when you stay curious and keep trying new things.One of the biggest themes throughout the episode is helping the good guys win. Dylan explains how he and Dennis Yu use AI, marketing, content, and personal branding to amplify real experiences rather than fake them. Whether it's an athlete trying to build a career or a local business trying to grow, the goal is the same: take something real and help more people see it.Dylan also talks about setbacks, injuries, staying focused when success suddenly brings attention, using AI to manage opportunities, and why your current level doesn't have to define where you eventually end up. At just 18 years old, he understands that he is only at the beginning of his journey.This episode is a reminder that you don't always need to know exactly where your path is going. Sometimes you just need to find something you love, work at it consistently, surround yourself with the right people, and keep learning. The things you're doing today may become the skills that open doors for you tomorrow.What are you waiting for? There is NEVER a right time to make a positive change in your life. Stay disciplined, pursue what you're passionate about, keep learning, and use your talents to help others. Keep getting better, stay humble, and always look for ways to help the good guys win.Speakers: Ethan Van De Hey and Dylan HaugenWant to talk or have episode suggestions?Email: vandeheyethan@outlook.com

“Going against Ceedee and GP is prepping me for what I need to be at my best." Caleb Downs  On the road, hitting all the Training Camps and had to make it to Oxnard to check out the rookie sensation- Caleb Downs who joins us for a conversation during his first NFL training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, stepping into the league as a first-round pick with expectations already sky-high. Caleb opens up about making the transition from college football to the NFL, the pressure that comes with being a highly touted first-rounder, and what it means to now wear the Cowboys star. He talks about going against elite teammates like CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens every day at practice, learning what separates NFL players, and the intensity of competing against the best in the world. He opens up on his immediate bond with Defensive Coordinator Christian Parker and what he sees in his new coach that can take the defense to the next level. The conversation also goes back to his championship-winning college career, his time playing for Nick Saban, and the lessons he took from one of football's greatest coaches. Caleb reflects on playing alongside stars like Jeremiah Smith, the competitive mindset that helped him win at the college level, and how those experiences prepared him for Sundays in the NFL. He shares how the upsets and losses are just as important as the wins in maintaining a championship mindset. Caleb tells the guys that since he was young, he's studied some of the greatest athletes from Kobe Bryant to Tom Brady to Michael Jordan not because of their skill set but because of their habits and uses his findings in his everyday life. Caleb also gets personal about family, the pride of following those who came before him, and what it means to have a brother already playing in the NFL while continuing a football legacy of his own. From winning in college to earning his place in Dallas, Caleb Downs gives The Pivot an inside look at the mindset, expectations and family foundation behind one of football's rising young stars.

This week on Sports Guyz Only... The boys are back from Game Fair, Nathaniel is out for the week, and it doesn't take long for things to get contentious. After wondering why any college athlete making millions in NIL money would ever want to leave campus, the guys dive into the completely normal world of college quarterbacks making more money than most professional athletes—and whether college football has basically become pro football with classes on the side. Then comes the argument that nearly breaks the podcast: Josh Allen vs. Tom Brady. When Gavin makes the case that Josh Allen could be the best quarterback of the last 20 years based on pure talent, everyone immediately pushes back. Is Allen actually a more talented quarterback than Brady? How much should mobility, arm strength, accuracy, durability, football IQ, coaching, and supporting cast factor into the conversation? And at some point, don't Brady's seven Super Bowls have to matter? What starts as a quarterback ranking turns into a full-blown debate over how we judge greatness in sports. The guys compare Brady's ability to win in impossible situations with Allen's physical gifts, argue over fourth-quarter comebacks, drag Matthew Stafford into the discussion, and inevitably end up at Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James. By the end, the horse isn't just dead—it's been beaten into the ground. Elsewhere, the crew debates the best defensive linemen of the last 20 years, including J.J. Watt, Aaron Donald, Myles Garrett, Julius Peppers, and Jared Allen, before diving deeper into the increasingly ridiculous money surrounding college sports. With massive NIL valuations, constant transfers, enormous coaching salaries, and rosters costing tens of millions of dollars, the guys debate whether college football finally needs its own version of a salary cap. Plus: •Why college stars would ever leave for the NFL •Fixing the transfer portal •The value of NFL preseason •Myles Garrett vs. the greatest pass rushers of the last 20 years •The Vikings' greatest defensive linemen •MLB salary cap talk and the Dodgers' spending •The Twins somehow still drawing fans •The absurd money in college coaching It's GOAT debates, questionable statistics, college football money getting completely out of control, and one Josh Allen take that turns a friendly quarterback discussion into an all-out war.

Who finishes your film if you can't?This episode is about how to make a documentary with no film school. Andre N. Jackson had never made a film. He had twenty years in technology and security, an idea that arrived while he was sitting in a barber's chair, and no way into the industry. He finished the film anyway, and he came on the show with three lessons for other filmmakers. Two more came out while we were talking.In Episode 285, Christian sits down with first-time filmmaker Andre N. Jackson to talk about "Beyond Banners," his film about the basketball program at Gwynn Park High School in Prince George's County, Maryland. Over a twenty-year run the team reached twelve state championships and won more than any high school in the state. The film starts there and ends up somewhere else entirely.Andre puts it plainly: "I actually learned about filmmaking through making a film." The spine of the conversation is what it takes to make a documentary when nothing is set up in your favor. Andre leaned on the research and analysis skills he built as an intelligence analyst, cold-called a Hall of Fame coach, funded it through a fiscal sponsor, used AI as a second brain, and kept going through two heart attacks that put him in an emergency room twice in three days. Along the way the film became a story about stewardship, about the people who stayed, and about what the commercialization of youth sports is doing to community public schools.In this episode, you'll learn:How an idea that arrived in a barber's chair became a finished film with no film school behind itWhy twenty years as an intelligence analyst turned out to be a filmmaking advantageWhy Andre deliberately hired a crew who knew nothing about Gwynn Park, the region, or basketballThe cold call that landed Hall of Fame coach Tubby SmithWhat a fiscal sponsor is, and how the Southern Documentary Fund made donors want to giveHow a three-hour conversation in a Brooklyn coffee shop with writer-director Marquis Smalls became his production blueprintWhat two heart attacks in three days taught him about succession, and what he changed the week he got outHow AI reenacted a co-protagonist who had died and left almost no footage behindWhy announcing the film on Instagram is the thing that made him finish itWhat NIL deals, unrestricted transfers, and year-round travel ball are doing to community public schoolsTHE FIVE LESSONSLean into your superpowersGet comfortable taking calculated risksGet creative about filling gapsPlan for your absenceUse AI as a second brainCHAPTERS0:00 No Film School, No Connections3:16 How Do You Fund a First Documentary?6:09 When a Team Becomes a Town11:53 The Cost of Commercializing Youth Sports18:58 Planning for Your Own Absence24:37 AI as a Second Brain29:16 Cold Calling a Hall of Fame Coach33:45 Why the Collective Should MatterFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHow do you make a documentary with no film school?Lean into the skills you already have and hire for the ones you do not. Andre N. Jackson spent twenty years as an intelligence analyst, so he built his film on research and relationship building, the two things he was already good at. Then he deliberately recruited crew members who covered his gaps in craft and experience. He learned filmmaking by making a film, not before making one.How do you fund a documentary with no industry money?A fiscal sponsor is the most common route. It is a 501(c)(3) that sits between your project and your donors, so contributions become tax deductible and donors have a reason to say yes. Andre used the Southern Documentary Fund. You apply, you are accepted, you onboard, and then you can offer donors a tax break for backing your film. He combined that with personal funds and direct fundraising.How do you get well-known people to be in your documentary?Cold call them, and be specific about who you both know. Andre landed Hall of Fame coach Tubby Smith by reaching out directly and naming a mutual connection to establish trust. He got Wake Forest star Randolph Childress through a warm introduction from a Gwynn Park alumnus. The pattern is the same either way: ask, and use the relationships your relationships already have.What happens to your documentary if you cannot finish it?Plan for your absence before you need to. After two heart attacks during production, Andre started documenting what had only ever lived in his head and briefed his executive producer and his producer on the next steps, so the film could be completed whether or not he was there. Contingency planning in film usually means backup drives. It should also mean succession.Can AI help you make your first documentary?Andre used it three ways: to learn the end-to-end production process he never went to film school for, to generate an animated reenactment of a co-protagonist who had died and left almost no footage behind, and as a second brain that challenged his assumptions and pressure-tested his interview questions. He was clear it supplemented human mentorship rather than replacing it, and credits Brooklyn writer-director Marquis Smalls, who drew him a blueprint over three hours. DOCUVIEW DÉJÀ VU PICKS"Undefeated" (2011), directed by Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

He is a 1998 graduate of Gwynn Park High School, the subject of his film. He came to filmmaking with no film school and no industry connections.ABOUT THE FILM"Beyond Banners" is directed by Andre N. Jackson and follows the basketball program at Gwynn Park High School in Prince George's County, Maryland. In the words of the film's own logline: a son returns to his alma mater to carry his father's coaching legacy, only to discover that the winning tradition he grew up in was built for a world that no longer exists.The film follows an intertwined father-and-son story, Howard Matthews and Steve Matthews, and widens into a portrait of what community-based youth sports used to be and what the commercialization of high school athletics is doing to it. Produced and edited by Daniel Bowie, with animation and motion design by Henry Gretzinger. Historian Ida E. Jones of Morgan State University asks the question Andre names as his favorite line in the film: "What is it about community that makes us community?" It also features Hall of Fame coach Tubby Smith, Wake Forest star Randolph Childress, who broke ACC records, sportswriter Neil Greenberger, who spent twenty years at The Washington Post and led its local sports section, and archival footage The film is headed to the festival circuit.Website: https://beyondbannersdocumentary.comInstagram: @beyondbannersdocumentaryABOUT DOCUMENTARY FIRSTDocumentary First is a weekly podcast about the craft, the business, and the truth of filmmaking.

Everybody around you says the same thing: get your kid into travel baseball now, or he falls behind forever. Matt Hannaford spent 25 years as an agent, and his answer starts with one question most parents never ask.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Travel baseball is a tool, not a verdict. It can be expensive and worth it, demanding and worth it. What decides which outcome you get is why you're playing in the first place. This episode answers three questions parents actually sent in. When does an 11-year-old need travel baseball? How you tell a broken program from a bad experience? Whether a nine-year-old who plays a year-round schedule is starting too early. Matt walks through what to protect at each age: development from 9 to 14, competition at 14 to 16, exposure at 16 to 18. He explains why one bad season is not proof the whole system failed you, and how to vet a new program without getting sold the same story twice.   EPISODE SUMMARY Matt Hannaford and producer Mike open on a follow-up to their travel baseball episode, where Matt argued the whole thing is a tool a family either uses well or wastes. Parents wrote back with real situations, and this Q&A works through three of them. Whitney in Fort Collins has an 11-year-old in rec ball and keeps hearing he'll never catch up if he doesn't jump to travel now. Matt's answer: at 11, a D1 scholarship isn't on the table yet, so that can't be the reason. What travel baseball does at that age is show you where your son stands and give the development pieces a place to grow. Go to events, but go for the right reason, not because everyone else is going. Hector in Albuquerque did one year of travel baseball, called it a money grab, and his wife is ready to quit for good. Matt draws the line between a broken program and a bad choice. One or two disappointing events isn't enough time to judge. A full season with no development plan you were promised is. He warns against jumping to the next team just because it promises a higher likelihood to send players to D1, since the program may have had little to do with those commitments. Denise in Savannah has a nine-year-old already being recruited for a year-round schedule and worries about cost and burnout. Matt reframes the worth-it question: decide what would make it worth it for your family, then build around it. Mix a national tournament with regional ones so a young player gets real competition without being thrown to the wolves. Protect his joy for the game, but don't protect him from failure. Matt closes with Michael Jordan getting cut, Wayne Gretzky's missed shots, and his former client Joey Votto, who learned to climb out of failure at every level. The obstacle is the way through.   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Travel baseball as a tool 3:28 — Whitney: does an 11-year-old fall behind 4:23 — Get clear on why you're playing 9:35 — Overcoming other parents' pressure 14:00 — Hector: broken program or bad team 14:40 — How much time a program earns 23:21 — Denise: is nine too early 23:56 — Protect the joy, not from failure 30:31 — Jordan, Gretzky, and Joey Votto   Have a travel baseball question you don't know who to ask.
