Welcome back, Void! It's our mother's birthday so we will be discussing one of her favorite topics: SPORT! This time we're discussing baseball, and in particular Moneyball, which took place in our community. It's the story of the criminally underpaid Oakland A's and their quest to get slightly better. This movie is not about successes or heroic deeds, it's about STATISTICS, ANALYTICS, and MATHEMATICS!! We do have a ton of fun talking about submarine pitchers, the Streak, the superstitions of baseball, and the mad mind games of player trading. Brennan has a one-sided beef with KNBR, Erin can relate to Hatteberg through her kickball experiences, and they both agree that Oakland's love for their teams has not been reciprocated by the team owners (EVER). Despite the A's move to Las Vegas, and despite our hosts being bigger fans of other teams, let's be real, it's hard not to be romantic about baseball.

What if everything we've been told about math education is backwards? In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Ted Dintersmith,venture capitalist, filmmaker, and author of the upcoming book Aftermath: The Life-Changing Math That Schools Won't Teach You to discuss why our schools are still teaching low-level math mechanics that phones and AI already do perfectly. You can learn more about Ted's work at What Schools Could Be. Ted shares his journey from the world of high-tech innovation to becoming a "code red" alarmed citizen advocate for radical school change. We dive into how high-stakes exams are inadvertently training students to compete with AI in areas where computers are unbeatable, while ignoring the creative and conceptual math, like probability, decision-making frameworks, and estimation, that actually shapes lives. From Moneyball statistics to the dangers of misinterpreting healthcare data, Ted explains why math should be a tool for empowerment rather than a metric for punishment. We also take a "lightning round" trip through Ted's prolific career, including his work with the late Sir Ken Robinson and his influential documentaries Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice. Whether you're a parent trying to preserve your child's curiosity or an educator looking for a more relevant curriculum, this conversation offers a refreshing and urgent blueprint for what school could be.

In this special, live recording of The Important Part, SoFi's Head of Investment Strategy Liz Thomas asks the question many investors are thinking about: when – if ever – will the markets cool off? She sits down with two of the top critical thinkers in the world of finance: Tom Lee, Co-founder and Head of Research at Fundstrat, and Michael Lewis, the New York Times bestselling author of Moneyball, The Big Short, The Blind Side, and Going Infinite. Together, they work through the most pressing questions facing investors in 2026. Discover why retail investors are outperforming hedge funds, whether gold has peaked, and if Bitcoin's 40% dip signals a crypto winter. Lee explains why the recent AI-driven software tumble could actually reflect corporate productivity gains, while Lewis shares his contrarian gold bet and why he's “long fear.” They tackle the independence of the Federal Reserve under nominee Kevin Warsh, the risks of AI job displacement, and whether the federal government could nationalize failing AI companies.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 – https://RushToReason.com pulls no punches as John Rush dives headfirst into culture, freedom, and accountability—starting with a Super Bowl weekend that exposed just how divided the country has become. Why did a halftime show spark outrage, canceled orders, and online pile-ons against small businesses? And what does that say about tolerance, choice, and who really believes in freedom? John is joined by Mike Jansen of Plumberoos (https://plumberoos.com/), who breaks from the corporate, commission-driven model to explain what “old-school service” actually looks like in today's world. Is it possible to run a successful business without upselling fear and urgency? What happens when trust—not pressure—is the foundation? The hour then pivots to deeper questions about government control versus personal responsibility, from proposed Colorado legislation impacting digital privacy to the economics of captive pricing at airports and major events. Is regulation protecting people—or punishing common sense? And why are consumers shocked by prices in places where choice is limited? This hour challenges listeners to rethink outrage culture, media narratives, and where freedom quietly slips away when no one's paying attention.

Today, Sam sits down with Steve Hoggle, General Manager at Honda of Lake City and Sarah Copp, Director of Major Accounts at Lotlinx to pull back the curtain on the "Moneyball" strategy of modern automotive retail.

In this episode, we break down MONEYBALL — the sports drama that turned statistics, failure, and belief into one of the most compelling stories ever told. We dive into Brad Pitt's performance as Billy Beane, Aaron Sorkin's razor-sharp dialogue, and how the film transforms data and spreadsheets into real emotional stakes.

This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Most movies weren't directed by Steven Soderbergh, but few were as notably not directed by Steven Soderbergh as this one: MONEYBALL, the true story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics' revolutionary sabermetrics-based hiring strategy, was 5 days from shooting when Sony pulled the plug on Soderbergh's version. After a rewrite by Aaron Sorkin and a few cast change-ups, a slicker, Fincher-lite version directed by Bennett Miller made it to theaters, and we're talking about the whole deal. This ep has it all, quite frankly: in-depth script revision analysis, baseball talk, sports politics, and a long conversation about how statistics and "disruption" inform the world. It turns out everything is Moneyball, maybe? Give this one a listen, folks. As always, thanks to Jetski for our theme music and to Jeremy Allison for our artwork.
Brian Miller and Rev. Dr. Brian Tracy keep the January theme rolling—escaping the tyranny of the urgent—but this episode zeroes in on leadership coaching: why leaders get stuck, what beliefs jam the gears, and how a coach helps a leader climb out of survival mode and back into purpose. It opens with some playful "Brian spelling reform" banter (the Y can repent), then turns into a surprisingly practical coaching framework for leaders who feel like every week is "sludging through the mud." Key Highlights Why leaders stall out: Many leaders know the hill they want to take… but their Monday–Friday reality feels like mud, and they can't translate vision into Tuesday afternoon. Triple-loop coaching lens: Brian frames the problem as actions → strategy → identity. Tracy agrees most leaders stay stuck at the surface level (tweaking actions) without addressing strategy or identity. Balcony view: They talk about moving leaders from minutiae to perspective using "psychological distancing" and future-oriented questions: "Where do you want this to be in 5 years?" "What would 10-years-from-now you tell you to focus on?" Unsticking the gear: Brian describes a coaching move that creates safety—"I'm not holding you to this"—to help a frozen leader name a first step and regain momentum. Beliefs that sabotage leaders: Scarcity vs. abundance (closed-handed vs. open-handed leadership) "If I'm the leader, I should know everything" (which kills curiosity and learning) "If I'm leading right, there won't be complaints" (spoiler: change creates complaints) Takeaways Coaching gives leaders a place where every sentence isn't a grenade. In leadership, words carry 10x weight; coaching offers a safe lab to think out loud without collateral damage. A good leader reviews and prunes. Tracy describes doing a regular "stop/start" review twice a year because clutter expands like glitter—once it's in the room, it's everywhere. Don't build everything around yourself. Brian reflects on leaving "holes" when he exited organizations earlier in life—and names that as a leadership mistake. Healthy leadership equips others until the organization can run without you. Empowerment is the job. Tracy grounds it in Ephesians 4: leaders equip others to do the work, not hoard the work to feel needed. Criticism isn't a sign you're failing—sometimes it's proof you're leading. If you're changing anything meaningful, pushback is part of the fee. Even Jesus had bad Yelp reviews. Memorable Lines & Moments "Survival" as a strategy is still a strategy… just a terrible one. "The more authority you give away, the more authority you have." "If I'm successful, it's not because I got the job done—it's because they got it done." Moneyball reference: "The first guy through the wall always gets beat up." (Accurate, and also why most people prefer to be the second guy.)

Mason Lautenschlager and his wife Hannah run Arrow L Ranch near Berthold in northwest North Dakota, where they focus on grass-based enterprises including a cow-calf herd, some direct grass-finished beef, and selling multi-bred composite coming 2-year-old bulls developed on forage. In This Episode, We Explore: Building a ranch back after his family sold out of farming and ranching Buying cows at the top of the market and navigating the crash afterward Shifting the whole operation toward lower labor and lower equipment intensity Winter grazing decision-making around snow cover, forage quality, and flexibility Bale grazing setup, timing, and what it changed on poorer soil areas Water limitations, fencing lanes, and building a system for easier moves Stockpiling forage and planning grazing around winter and spring needs Increasing plant diversity through grazing management rather than seeding Using forage clippings to estimate available dry matter per acre Developing bulls on forage and selecting for longevity and fertility over max production Why This Episode Matters If winter feed, labor, and equipment costs are squeezing your operation, Mason's story is a practical look at how constraints can force better systems. This conversation gets into the real tradeoffs of stockpile grazing versus bale grazing, how water and fencing design affect what is possible, and why selection for fertility and longevity can matter more than pushing production.

Highlights: NFL coaching searches are highly unpredictable, with success often coming from candidates with unassuming résumés rather than just impressive ones. Many elite NFL coaches, like John Harbaugh and Andy Reid, were hired from non-coordinator roles, proving that a candidate's title doesn't always predict success. The rapid rise of young coaches like Grant Udinski highlights that potential and impressing the right people can create a fast track to prominent NFL roles. The "Moneyball" principle applies to coaching hires; despite confidence in interviews, success is unpredictable as the head coach role requires intangible skills beyond X's and O's. Sean McDermott is considered a strong coaching candidate due to his proven track record of building a winning culture in Buffalo and developing QB Josh Allen. Despite regular-season success, McDermott's legacy is hampered by his inability to win a Super Bowl, consistently falling short in critical playoff moments. The discussion highlights a preference for experienced, known commodities like McDermott over high-risk, high-reward "hot" candidates to minimize the gamble of a coaching search. Jim Schwartz successfully turned around a winless Lions team but ultimately had a losing record. The Cleveland Browns' head coaching job is viewed as less attractive ("bottom tier") than others due to organizational instability and immense pressure. "Watson exhaustion"—the pressure to make the Deshaun Watson trade succeed—is fueling organizational turmoil and staff turnover within the Browns. An intriguing possibility for the Browns is hiring a veteran defensive head coach like McDermott while retaining Jim Schwartz as DC to form a powerful leadership duo. Monday's Cavs loss to OKC highlighted a philosophical flaw, exposing their offense-first "finesse" style as vulnerable against tougher, more disciplined defensive teams. The underperformance of highly-paid Cavaliers veterans like Lonzo Ball and DeAndre Hunter is a major factor in the team's current struggles.

HEADLINE: Moneyball for the Navy: Balancing the Fleet GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Applying a "Moneyball" baseball analogy, Hendrix argues the current U.S. Navy is "top-heavy," relying on expensive "home run" carriers while lacking "base hitters"—smaller ships for daily presence. He notes the fleet has under 300 ships but needs constant forward deployment to maintain peace. To fix this, he advocates for a high-low mix: acquiring the new Constellation-class frigate to serve as a versatile "pickup truck" and refurbishing older Arleigh Burke destroyers. This approach aims to rapidly expand capacity to counter the immediate Chinese threat without waiting decades for new technology.1900 DEPLOYED TO THE BOXER REBELLION
Bestselling author Michael Lewis has spent decades practicing the habits of the sharpest business thinkers: questioning assumptions, navigating past blind spots, and revealing why conventional wisdom so often leads smart people astray. Lewis is the author of a remarkable run of business bestsellers, including Liar's Poker, Moneyball, Flash Boys, The Big Short, Boomerang, The Undoing Project, and Going Infinite. Both Moneyball and The Big Short were made into Oscar Best Picture-nominated films, as was The Blind Side, another of Lewis's non-fiction classics. In this exclusive episode of Monday Morning Radio, Lewis reflects on why true success derives from taking the long view rather than aiming for quick results, and how doing the hard, unglamorous work others avoid can create an outsized, enduring advantage. Lewis's conversation with founding Monday Morning Radio host Dean Rotbart was recorded when the author was honored as a Business News Visionary. While the interview dates back several years, in this abridged version of their talk, the insights Lewis shares are strikingly current — offering inspired ideas that apply to entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners navigating uncertainty, disruption, and change today. [Michael Lewis will be featured in All You Can Eat Business Wisdom: Second Helpings, coming in April 2026. The anthology is the sequel of co-host Maxwell Rotbart's award winning first edition, All You Can Eat Business Wisdom: A Monday Morning Radio Anthology of Actionable Advice.] Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Coach talks to Dennis Dodd providing an in-depth preview of the College Football Playoff National Championship between No. 1 Indiana and No. 10 Miami. Dodd analyzes the historical significance of the matchup, noting that both head coaches—Curt Cignetti and Mario Cristobal—are successful branches of the Nick Saban coaching tree. The discussion focuses on Indiana’s remarkable 15-0 season, achieved through a "Moneyball" style utilization of the transfer portal, and Miami's identity as a physical, resilient underdog that has already defeated more top-25 teams this season than any other program. The conversation also highlights the critical quarterback battle between Indiana's highly efficient Mendoza and Miami’s Carson Beck, who has the rare opportunity to be part of a third national championship team. Beyond the field, the segment addresses the turbulent landscape of modern college football, including the record-breaking numbers in the transfer portal and the urgent need for a unified leadership structure to handle NIL and collective bargaining. As the playoff potentially expands to 16 teams in the near future, the analysts emphasize that while the administrative side of the sport is in flux, the quality of play on the field remains at an all-time high.

Podcast: The Weekly Wealth Podcast Host: David Chudyk, CFP® Guest: Mike Draper, Partner at CFO SystemsIf you're a business owner generating $2 million to $15+ million in annual revenue, one of your biggest risks may not be sales, competition, or employees — it may be your financial blind spot.In this episode of The Weekly Wealth Podcast, David Chudyk sits down with Mike Draper, Partner at CFO Systems, to explain how a fractional CFO helps business owners improve cash flow, make better strategic decisions, and prepare their company for long-term growth or a future sale.
This is a follow up to episode 354 of The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast, which I published during the World Series in October 2025. The title of that episode was Moneyball for Pharmacists: Winning with Agile Teams, Not Bigger Budgets. In that episode, I said I'd like to follow up with 10 pharmacists for about 5 minutes each to ask what they consider a base hit in the pharmacy profession. Well…I was close! Today, you'll hear from 8 pharmacists and one non-pharmacist. The line-up is below. THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this episode! I asked all the participants the same question: "We all know that the base hits of yesteryear were: selling prescriptions and front end merchandise, giving flu shots, doing MTM, etc. From your point of view, what's a base hit for the pharmacy profession in 2026?"

Transfer Portal - Offense Starts at :51 Never doubt the law of conservation of vibes. The Penn State basketball game saved the offensive line. This was recorded on Sunday at noon so by the time you listen to this, things have probably already changed (hello, Jaime Ffrench). It would be nice to get a backup QB in the portal (hello Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi). Justice Haynes has hit the portal, might be going to Georgia Tech, and Oklahoma RB Taylor Tatum is in. So far he's struggled with fumbles and a hamstring injury but Oklahoma's RB coach is one of the worst in P4. He might be a Moneyball situation. Kuzdzal might be coming back? Jaime F-f-f-french is in and if JJ Buchanan joins then we have an actual wide receiver room. Still need a tight end? Offensive line got their guys back, we're un-mad now. Need some depth at center, though. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Transfer Portal - Defense Starts at 27:11 Not as sunny as the offense right now but it can change at any time. How we feel so far depends on the status of John Henry Daley's Achilles, he could be a Derrick Moore comparison if healthy. Defensive end looks pretty set. Defensive tackle... they get Pierce back. They do get Jonah Lea'ea from Utah who was a bit undersized and needed another year to develop. Enow Etta's return has turned from optimism to pessimism. Hopefully Alister Vallejo is ready as a freshman. At linebacker Rasheem Biles is off the board, they are hosting Cade Uluave from Cal, an all-ACC linebacker. Jimmy Rolder has declared for the draft and is #692 on the NFL Mock Draft database. The secondary isn't entirely in the portal but it's alarming, safety is now a concern. Surely we'll find out more about safety this week because you can't go into a season with three safeties. Per Trevor McCue, Jay Hill doesn't rotate the secondary at all! Kerry Coombs got his guys for special teams, they've got a kicker from Pitt, Trey Butkowski. This offense could be really good and not need to rely on a kicker who can hit field goals from the 37. Overall, get in a safety or two and ideally a good defensive tackle and this team is really close to being very competitive. When's the last time the offense was better than the defense, 2011? 3. Hot Takes and Basketball vs Penn State and Wisconsin Starts at 1:05:25 Takes hotter than Wisconsin three point shooting. Basketball is no longer invincible. This must feel the same as when Matt Painter had to play Mo Wagner. Michigan got out-rebounded pretty badly which feels like a major failing given the line-up. They need to play a little dirtier in the paint. Michigan and Wisconsin were shooting back-to-back threes until Michigan fell off. The offensive goal-tending ruling was the rule. Wisconsin doesn't send many guys to the offensive board, they tend to get back and trying to get transition baskets isn't worth it. A key for Michigan going forward is how stretch is everyone's five? Wisconsin shot 12 points higher than their expected for the number of threes they shot. 4. Hockey vs Notre Dame Starts at 1:28:57 Michigan escapes a bad Notre Dame team but loses goalie Jack Ivankovic for "some period of time" (possibly the season). The hit was unfortunate but probably not malicious. There are strong words said about these officials. Naurato has said in his press conferences that "I can't say what I want to say." Big Ten hockey is one of the best leagues in the world and the Big Ten treats it like the 4th most important sport. Freshman goalie Stephen Peck is now your starter. The defense needs to step way up to support their new goalie. If the season ended today they'd still be the number one seed in the tournament, though. Part of that is because of Ivankovic.

Keir Gumbs, Chief Legal Officer at Edward Jones, isn't here to maintain the status quo. He joined the largest U.S. financial services firm not to run legal as usual - but to lead a transformation. In this episode, Keir and Mary talk candidly about what it takes to build a modern legal function inside a legacy institution - and why the traditional law firm model may not survive the decade. Keir brings a rare 360° view of the legal world, with leadership roles at Uber, Broadridge, Covington, and the SEC. Now, he's putting that experience to work reshaping how legal, compliance, and risk teams partner with the business and what true enablement looks like. In this episode: Transformation Playbook: Why Keir spent his first year meeting with 500+ team members - and what it taught him about culture and leadership. Shared Services, Shared Wins: How he's connecting legal, compliance, and risk through a shared services model that's breaking down silos and boosting speed. Enable First, Protect Second: Keir's core legal philosophy - and how it's changing how his team shows up across the organization. Law Firm Economics, Under Fire: Keir sounds the alarm on unsustainable rate hikes and why smaller, specialized firms are increasingly winning the work. Outcome Over Hours: What he's looking for in alternative fee models, and the reality check law firms need to hear. If you're thinking about legal transformation, technology, or the future of firm partnerships, this conversation is a blueprint for what's next.

Happy New Year! Pharmacists can play a meaningful role in addiction education by equipping the people some individuals with substance use disorders turn to first—faith community leaders, such as pastors, priests, rabbis, and others. Read the FULL show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast Sign up for The Pharmacist's Voice ® monthly email newsletter! https://bit.ly/3AHJIaF When I worked at a behavioral health hospital in Northwest Ohio between 2015 and 2016, I realized there were gaps in my understanding of how people find themselves on the path of addiction. That curiosity led me to join my county's Addiction Task Force in 2017, where I learned from many people who were already deeply engaged in prevention, treatment, and recovery work. Over time, and with a great deal of support, I helped organize Faith Community Discussions about addiction. The goal was simple: to help faith leaders feel better prepared to respond with compassion, accurate information, and local resources when someone turned to them for help. I didn't do this work alone. I'm grateful for the collaboration and guidance of many people and organizations, including Pastor Jeffrey Bischoff (pictured in the episode artwork), Nate Kehlmeier (featured in Episode 7 of The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast), the Wood County Addiction Task Force, and the Wood County Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board. I'm sharing these experiences not as a blueprint, but as an example of what's possible when pharmacists stay curious, collaborate, and focus on getting it right for the people who need help. My hope is that this episode encourages others to explore how their own skills and interests might contribute to prevention, education, and recovery in their communities.

Friends,I recently had the delight of conversing with acclaimed author Michael Lewis (The Big Short, Liar's Poker, Moneyball, Flash Boys, Going Infinite, The Fifth Risk, The Premonition, The Blind Side, The Undoing Project, Boomerang, and, most recently, Who Is Government?). I asked him to join me to discuss our recent books. Our subject was Trump, but our conversation ranged from the political to the personal. It occurred before a live audience and was great fun. I thought this holiday week a perfect occasion to share it with you. My thanks to Michael. Hope you had a happy holiday and have a restful weekend. Oh, and you look great. This is a public episode.

Merry Christmas from the basement studio. Season 7, Episode 16 kicks off with holiday energy, Frank's cookies, Mariah Carey impressions, and a friendly argument over whether this is the Joe Montana episode (it is) or the Dwight Gooden episode (absolutely not). Dan and Frank are joined by Alan “Action” Jackson and sound man Rich, and the crew sets the tone with laughs, old-school sports references, and the kind of festive chaos only a Christmas edition can deliver.The show opens with a quick run through MLB Hot Stove surprises, most notably the Pirates actually spending money, the Mets continuing their “clean house” approach by shipping Jeff McNeil to the A's (with cash attached), and a Moneyball-style analogy about teams paying to get rid of contracts. The Mets' bigger picture remains unsettled: Frank still isn't over losing Alonso, but he's holding judgment until the roster is fully built, especially given that pitching was the real issue last season. The crew also hits the Knicks debate (and the ongoing cheesesteak wager), before sliding into a quick fantasy football note as Alan celebrates making the Super Bowl with a team peaking at the right time.Then it's a full recap of NFL Week 16, starting with Saturday games and rolling right through Sunday:Eagles over Washington (29–18) to clinch the division.Bears over Packers (22–16 OT) in a controversial, windy game featuring injuries and a surprising “go-for-broke” overtime bomb.Saints over Jets (28–6) as New Orleans' QB continues to look like a real starter.Bills over Browns (23–20) in a tighter-than-expected win.Titans over Chiefs (26–9) as Kansas City's injury spiral continues.Chargers smashing Cowboys (34–17) with Dallas exposed by brutal run defense and wide-open play-action.Vikings edging Giants (16–13) as the crew questions the Giants' ultra-run-heavy approach and whether draft positioning is quietly shaping decisions.Panthers over Bucs (23–20) as Carolina takes control of a shaky division.Bengals steamrolling Dolphins (45–21) with Burrow and company lighting up the scoreboard.Jaguars over Broncos (34–20) in a major upset, with Jacksonville looking increasingly legitimate.Texans slipping past Raiders (23–21) in a game Houston “won” but didn't exactly dominate.Steelers over Lions (29–24) with Aaron Rodgers looking sharp—and the biggest controversy of the week: DK Metcalf's sideline altercation with a fan, resulting in a two-game suspension and a heated debate about fan behavior, accountability, and where the league should draw the line.The episode wraps with a strong message: most fans are respectful, but it only takes one person crossing the line to turn the entire spotlight ugly, especially when players are being baited into losing control.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/
Send us a textThis week, I'm joined by Bob Alejo—one of the true pioneers of modern athletic performance.With more than 40 years in the field, Bob's career spans NCAA Division I athletics, Major League Baseball, and the Olympic Games. He has worked at institutions such as UCLA, North Carolina State, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal State Northridge, and spent time with the Oakland A's during the Moneyball era, and later again in the mid-2000s. Along the way, he's been associated with over 20 NCAA National Championships, MLB postseason success, and a U.S. Olympic gold medal at the Beijing Games, with continued involvement through London in 2012.In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the evolution of strength and conditioning, the importance of understanding sport culture—not just sport science—and how trust, adaptability, and mentorship shape long-term success. Bob reflects on lessons learned from elite athletes and coaches, his experiences navigating major shifts in professional sport, and the responsibility coaches carry beyond performance outcomes.The episode also moves into deeply human territory, as Bob shares powerful reflections on fatherhood, leadership, and a meaningful experience supporting New York firefighters and their families in the aftermath of 9/11.This is a thoughtful conversation about legacy, service, and what it truly means to leave your mark—both in sport and in life.

Not all clients are created equal—and some quietly drain your firm's time, energy, and profits. In episode 593 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Affinity Consulting's Jeff Krause about the hidden cost of bad clients and how law firms can use data to make better decisions about who they serve. Jeff breaks down his Moneyball-inspired profit formula to show how client quality impacts leads, conversion rates, revenue, and margins. They explore why discount-seeking clients create compounding damage, how setting clearer expectations can improve client behavior, and when it makes sense to let certain clients walk away. A closer look at the tension between profitability and access to justice, and how intentional business models can support both.

Most recently, he authored Who Is Government?, with contributions from W.
