This podcast episode provides a comprehensive overview of the current weather conditions impacting various regions across the United States. The primary focus centers on the significant winter weather hazards affecting the upper Midwest and California, where winter storm warnings have been issued due to heavy snowfall and strong winds. Additionally, concerns about flooding and debris flows in Southern California are addressed, particularly in areas near recent burn scars. Notably, localized boil water advisories are highlighted in several states, including Florida, Georgia, and Virginia, due to water main breaks. As we navigate these pressing weather-related issues, it remains imperative to stay informed through official alerts and advisories.Takeaways:* The National Hurricane Center has reported no active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific regions.* Currently, winter weather dominates the narrative with significant impacts across the upper Midwest and West Coast.* California is facing substantial flood and winter weather challenges, particularly affecting Los Angeles and Ventura counties.* Florida is dealing with a water main break in Lehigh Acres, leading to a precautionary boil water advisory for residents.* Minnesota is currently under a winter storm warning due to adverse weather conditions that may hinder travel safety.* Virginia has issued a citywide boil water advisory in Danville, urging residents to utilize boiled or bottled water for consumption.Sources[NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=CAZ368&lat=33.9071&local_place1=Norwalk+CA&lon=-118.077&product1=Flash+Flood+Warning&warncounty=CAC037&warnzone=CAZ368][NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=LOX&wwa=winter%2520storm%2520warning][FGUA | https://www.fgua.com/outages_notices/water-main-break-boil-water-advisory-317-main-road-2-16-2026/][City of Fayetteville, GA | https://www.fayetteville-ga.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=752][NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+storm+warning][City of Medford | https://www.medfordoregon.gov/News-Articles/Severe-Weather-Shelter-Open-in-Medford-Feb.-16-17][WTAE | https://www.wtae.com/article/shaler-township-police-residents-water-main-break-boil-advisory/70386197][WSET | https://wset.com/news/local/danville-virginia-issues-citywide-boil-water-advisory-february-2026] This is a public episode.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio talking with Jeff Helmers and Cathryn Howland. We discuss: Debt-free living accelerates land ownership. Land rarely loses value over time. 40 acres can outperform larger farms. Sanctuaries create daylight deer movement. Fewer stands = more mature bucks. Chestnuts outperform acorns 100:1. Entry/exit is everything. Stop thinking like a hunter — think like a deer. Stack the odds instead of hunting luck. Start small and build over time. And so much more! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get Pre-Approved to Purchase a farm with Buck Land Funding ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOFER' to save 10% off at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theprairiefarm.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Massive potential tax savings: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASMLABS.Net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Moultrie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/moultrie_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Hawke Optics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -OnX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Painted Arrow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/PaintedArrow

X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Thomas Garrett, Jr., member of the Commonwealth of Virginia's House of Delegates and former US Congressman. The conversation will focus on the state of America's economy, Trump's economic reforms, US-Iran Talks, America's ties with Israel, Virginia's radical changes with major tax hikes and sweeping gun control legislation and a new redistricting initiative which may leave Virginia's Congressional delegation with a 10-1 in favor of Democrats rather than the current 6-5 Republican edge. This could pose challenges in the mid-term elections.a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman. The Washington Post's Editorial Board: "Brass-knuckled hypocrisy in Virginia" Quote: _The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points. Most know better, including the governor. Abigail Spanberger was among the two-thirds of Virginians who voted in 2020 to transfer once-a-decade redistricting from the legislature to a bipartisan commission. “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy,” she said back then. On Friday, Spanberger signed a bill to schedule an April 21 referendum that would move it back. The governor said it was necessary “to let voters respond to extreme measures taken by other states.”_ Bio | Tom Garrett Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global docu-series project, Exile, which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development. americasrt.com https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Red writes "On August 17th, 2023, I was camping with a close friend In Stephen's state forest in south central Iowa, not far from the Missouri border. It is very remote for the Midwest in that area. There are no electrical lines in this particular forest, so no lights. My friend and I got into the forest at dusk and set up camp. We saw no vehicles as we drove through the forest and the campsite we stayed at was completely empty. Twenty minutes or so after setting up camp, we heard an incredibly loud sound from the northwest corner of the camp. It was so loud it made us both jump and all of my hair immediately stood on end. The sound was like a howler monkey whooping, but it sounded like it was the size of a minivan. Immediately after this, about 150 feet south of us in the tree line, another noise happened. It sounded like Babe Ruth was in the forest slamming a bat against a tree. There were 6 whacks or knocks. They came in 3 successions of twos. Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock. That night we got chased out of the campsite by 3 or 4 of these creatures. It kept me out of the woods for a long time. I would love to tell you the whole experience."

A vanished hometown. A son who came back different. An elder on a quiet porch waiting for someone to say hello. We follow John Prine's trail from Maywood, Illinois, to the coal seams of western Kentucky and the factory streets of Michigan, mapping how his songs became a living record of America's working‑class migration.We start with the family story: parents who left Muhlenberg County for steadier pay, weekend drives back down the Green River, and the language that knit southern memory to northern labor. That double vantage shaped a body of work that feels at home in both coal camps and auto plants. Paradise turns industrial extraction into compact family history, explaining why so many left towns that now exist only in stories. Sam Stone pulls the curtain on the cost of war in neighborhoods that sent more than their share, capturing addiction and broken promises without sermon or spectacle. Hello in There lowers its voice to honor elders displaced by geography and time, reminding us that attention is a form of care. And Grandpa Was a Carpenter sketches a worldview built on work, loyalty, and a plain, steady pride.Along the way, we walk the line locals know by heart—the Hillbilly Highway—where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas families followed Dixie Highway and U.S. routes into Illinois and Michigan, trading coal dust for factory grit. Prine didn't just sing about characters; he archived a code: show up for your people, honor your history, do your part, and expect your country to keep faith. When he died in 2020, the loss felt less like a star going dark and more like a neighbor setting down the notebook where everyone's names were written.If you care about Americana music, labor history, or the quiet ways songs hold communities together, press play. Then tell us which John Prine lyric still finds you where you live. Subscribe, share with a friend who grew up on a front porch or a factory block, and leave a review so more listeners can find these stories.-----------------This episode is a newly expanded version of my 2020 John Prine podcast episode, with more story and analysis.”-----------------The Mitten Channel is a network of podcasts.

The fight for hunting heritage is happening in classrooms and state capitols. The future of hunting, fishing, and America's outdoor traditions depends on more than recruitment. It hinges on smart conservation policy, access to quality land, and educating the next generation about their role on the landscape. Leaders from the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation break down proactive legislation shaping the sporting future across the Midwest and West. From hunter education in schools to bipartisan firearm safety efforts, they explain how states like Michigan and Arkansas are building pathways for youth exposure to hunting, conservation funding, and responsible firearm ownership. The conversation goes deeper than recruitment. You'll hear why the American System of Conservation Funding must be taught alongside physical science, how wildlife councils in Colorado and Michigan are reshaping public perception of hunters, and why access programs in Wisconsin are critical for maintaining quality hunting and fishing opportunities. This is an insider look at how state legislators, fish and wildlife agencies, and sportsmen's groups are protecting access, strengthening conservation funding, and defending private property rights. If you care about waterfowl hunting, deer management, public land access, or the long-term future of our outdoor heritage, this conversation matters.

Send a textBright lights can hide hard truths. We sit down with Mark Van Heerden, a South African guitarist who left home with his band after winning LA awards and chasing a label-fueled dream, only to land in a cramped Beverly Hills apartment, hustling tickets on Sunset and selling CDs by hand. The myth of Hollywood met the math of survival, and what followed is a rare, unfiltered look at how ambition, culture shock, and timing can collide for expats and artists alike.Mark walks us through the grind behind the glamour: recording with a respected Manhattan Beach producer, learning the limits of indie distribution before streaming took off, and realizing that the “right” city isn't always the right launchpad. He shares the lessons he'd apply today—why the Midwest might have been smarter for rock, how local scenes can nourish momentum, and how perception from afar often misses the small rooms and big disappointments. When the band splintered, each member reinvented: animation, touring production, academia, and a return to South Africa. Mark's reinvention took a stunning turn.A volunteer project filming a helicopter ride for a documentary opened a door to aviation. After scrubbing hangar floors and trading work for flight hours, Mark earned his wings and now manages a San Diego operation with five helicopters, serving the power grid and fighting wildfires. It's a story about purpose over applause, competence over clout, and the radical hope of a second calling. We also talk about the pull of South Africa—family, food, landscapes—and the complex truth of home when your heart lives in two places.If you're drawn to stories of reinvention, expat life, and creative grit, this one's for you.

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileWhat if you left college with an engineering degree and an MBA, only to realize your best opportunity was back home in the family auto shop?In this episode, Hunt Demarest sits down with Brad Templin of Scott's U-Save, a fourth-generation automotive professional and second-generation owner running multiple locations across the Midwest. Brad shares the real story of what it's like to return to a family business after pursuing a corporate career, work alongside your mom, and navigate the challenges of succession planning in an era when private equity is knocking on every door.Drawing on his own journey from aerospace engineering to MBA to tire tech, Brad explains why he spent his first six months working in the bays, how he and his mom built mutual respect through honest communication, and what it takes to grow a business when you're competing against both private equity buyers and the temptation of a comfortable corporate salary.This episode tackles the hard conversations every family business faces: working with parents, handling disagreements when personal relationships are on the line, deciding between private equity offers and building something on your own, and why succession planning doesn't have to mean selling to the next generation or selling out completely. Brad also shares practical advice on how to maintain family relationships when business tensions run high, and why honesty — even when uncomfortable is the foundation of making it work.What you'll learn…(03:15) How a fourth-generation automotive family built and rebuilt across 100 years(04:35) Why Brad's great-grandfather invented the hub-and-spoke model in the 1920s—the same strategy private equity uses today(08:50) The influence of education on career paths(12:00) Cultural shifts in the automotive industry(15:33) Building trust and respect in a family business(18:15) Why Brad spent six months as a tire tech before taking on leadership(24:50) Investigating family dynamics in business(28:59) Navigating growth and trust: Separating business disagreements from personal relationships(30:00) Why Brad admits he's not the 'bootstrap entrepreneur' — and why that's okay(34:15) Private equity: How Brad and his mom decided whether to sell or keep building(37:35) The real question: 'Are we still having fun?' — and why that matters more than the money(43:10) The future of the industry(48:30) Brad's advice for struggling family businessesThanks to our partner PromotiveIt's time to hire a superstar for your business; what a grind you have in front of you.

Would you believe that there's a medication that can quiet the constant mental chatter around food for the first time in your adult life, but it could also cause you to lose muscle, age your face, and trap you in a cycle that's hard to escape? Both of those are true. When a drug can help someone lose 50 pounds and get off diabetes medication, that's a miracle. But when that same drug leaves someone unable to eat, losing muscle, and facing a lifetime of injections just to maintain their weight—that's a conversation we truly need to have. So, today we're taking a deep dive into GLP-1s—Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and what's coming next. How to preserve muscle when taking GLP-1 medications Consume 1.2–1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, spread across meals  Try to eat something containing 25–30 grams of protein within about two hours after doing a strength workout Consume easily digestible protein sources when your appetite is low (shakes, yogurt, collagen, or bone broth) Commit to doing resistance training at least two to three times a week Monitor your body composition for any early signs of muscle loss  Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider helping men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.

In this episode: How muscle preservation becomes non-negotiable when your appetite is suppressed Why protein timing matters more than total calories when on GLP-1 medications The importance of resistance training when taking GLP-1s The value of in-body scans for catching any muscle loss that may be occurring early on Why tapering off GLP-1 medications starts on day one, not at the finish line How natural GLP-1 stimulation can support or extend the effects of GLP-1 medications Why body composition, not weight loss, determines long-term outcomes when taking GLP-1s How the next generation of GLP-1 agonist drugs could improve our longevity Links and Resources: Relative Links for This Show: Use CODE BERBERINE to get 10% off ⁠⁠⁠Berberine  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code FIBER to get 10% off GLP-1 Fiber Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

What does it take to break into the trailer business, survive the agency grind, and help shape campaigns for some of the biggest films of the last two decades? This week on Trailer Geeks and Teaser Gods, we sit down with Creative Director, Producer and Creative Executive Kazadi Katambwa to discuss craft, career, and creative instinct. Kazadi walks through his journey from film-loving college student in the Midwest to runner at Wiser Post, to assistant editor at Intralink, and eventually to cutting and producing major theatrical campaigns for films like The Dark Knight, Inception, Dunkirk, Mad Max: Fury Road, and many more. Along the way, the conversation explores the realities of Hollywood career paths, the importance of mentorship, and the delicate art of marketing great movies without getting in their way. Kazadi shares behind-the-scenes stories about working with Christopher Nolan, the challenge of distilling high-concept films into thirty seconds, and the creative leap from editor to producer to studio executive. From humble beginnings with a Thomas Guide in the passenger seat to shaping global campaigns at Amazon Studios, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and hard-earned wisdom for anyone who loves trailers or dreams of making them. Key Takeaways From Runner to Creative Voice Kazadi reflects on starting at the very bottom of post-production and learning the craft by watching great editors work. Patience, curiosity, and a willingness to say yes opened doors that formal plans never could. Reverse Engineering Great Trailers Early on, Kazadi studied timelines and cuts to understand how trailers were built. That hands-on education became the foundation of his editorial instincts. Working on The Dark Knight and Inception Marketing films of that caliber brought unique pressures. Great movies can be harder to market because the campaign must rise to the same level of excellence. Quiet Can Be Louder Than Loud On campaigns like Dunkirk, restraint and confidence became creative tools. Sometimes a simple heartbeat and the right image communicate more than any barrage of sound. The Power of Relationships Career moves from Intralink to Seismic to Buddha Jones happened through trust and collaboration. In trailer marketing, reputation and relationships remain everything. Evolving From Editor to Executive Moving from the editing chair to creative leadership required a new mindset. Protecting the creative while guiding teams became the next chapter of the journey. Understanding Filmmakers Working with directors like Christopher Nolan reinforced a crucial lesson. Great campaigns respect the filmmaker's vision and find ways to amplify it rather than replace it. Notable Quotes "Sometimes marketing a bad movie is hard. But marketing a great movie can be even harder." "Loud is not always the best thing. Quiet can be just as powerful." "Study the timeline. That's where the education really happens." "The best trailers feel confident. You can sense when a campaign is trying too hard." "Relationships are what move careers forward in this town."

His approach turns weather into a competitive filter: build the foundation first, then push pace and urgency until practice feels like the fifth inning of a tight game.We go inside his staple drills—the three-fungo outfield pregame and the chaos drill that fuses pitchers and infielders into a single, fast-moving unit. Jeff explains why defensive reps during BP must be full tilt, even if that invites criticism, because timid training produces timid play. Roster realities shape development too: shrinking enrollment means every strike-thrower gets on the mound and every athlete learns multiple positions. He shares how clear role meetings, frequent communication, and early buy-in help players—and their “agents” at home—embrace change without drama.Strategy meets instinct when the game is on the line. Jeff describes pulling a dominant starter at 100 pitches in the opener, taking a loss to protect May. That blend of gut and plan, informed by daily contact with players' health and mindset, guides his late-inning calls, including first-and-third decisions with a one-run lead. Beyond tactics, culture is the engine: daily messages 365 days a year, the handshake rule before anyone leaves, and teaching the national anthem with intention. He credits mentors, clinics, and board service for shaping a growth mindset that borrows, adapts, and evolves.If you coach in cold weather, lead a small roster, or crave practice plans that hold up under pressure, you'll find concrete ideas and honest stories you can use tomorrow.

She had always considered herself a skeptic—someone who wanted the paranormal to be real, but needed evidence before believing it. Ghost tours, investigations, haunted locations… she'd done them all, always expecting something to finally cross the line from interesting to undeniable. It never did.Until one overnight investigation in an abandoned medical facility in the Midwest.The group was small, the rules were strict, and the building was quiet in all the ways skeptics appreciate—full of sounds that could be explained. But during a long stretch of silence in one wing, something shifted. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just enough to feel personal.What unsettled her most wasn't fear, or even what was heard—but the sense that the moment wasn't random. For the first time, it felt less like she was searching for proof… and more like something had found her.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HopefulSkeptic #ParanormalInvestigation #HauntedHospital #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedEncounters #SomethingAnswered #CreepingDread #ParanormalEvidence #ItGotPersonalLove real ghost stories?

Mark and Sam are joined by Kathleen Madigan for a wide-ranging, boozy, old-school comedy hang that hits everything from whiskey gifts and bad wallets to sports ownership disasters, late comics, road stories, and why some people should never be in charge of anything. Kathleen talks about growing up Midwest, touring Europe, quitting cigarettes, loving bars that still feel human, and why stand-up takes as long as it takes. The conversation bounces through football, comedy specials, sitcoms, podcasts, vaping, parenting, aging legends, and the strange pressure of modern comedy, with plenty of classic shop talk and unfiltered opinions along the way.
