All sports are governed by a body of rules. Within those rules, there is usually a set of norms for how the game should be played. Most coaches will instruct their players to use similar techniques. However, every so often, someone comes along who totally rethinks how a game can be played.  Using the same set of rules, they come up with a totally different approach to the game, which sometimes can be revolutionary.  Other times, it's simply evolutionary. Learn more about innovative sports strategies and how taking a different approach to a game can lead to positive results on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. ***5th Anniversary Celebration RSVP*** Sponsors Newspapers.com Get 20% off your subscription to Newspapers.com Mint Mobile Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

Amina Abubakar, PharmD, AAHIVP, joined Over the Counter to discuss her career journey within the pharmacy profession, from her time in big-box retail to owning an independent pharmacy and continuing education institute.

In this episode of the Bourbon Road podcast, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are joined by Joe O'Sullivan, Master Distiller at Minden Mill Distilling, for an in-depth exploration of their unique Nevada-born spirits. This episode offers a fascinating look into the world of estate distilling, where Minden Mill grows 85% of its own grains right in the challenging high-altitude climate of Nevada, just a stone's throw from Lake Tahoe . The conversation kicks off with a tasting of the Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye. O'Sullivan details its 80% rye, 10% wheat, and 10% barley grain bill, all grown on-site . A standout feature of Minden Mill's process is their innovative solution to Nevada's harsh aging climate. Due to a staggering 3% angel's share loss per month in the dry local environment, they employ a climate-controlled rickhouse that precisely mimics the temperature and humidity of Bardstown, Kentucky. This 94-proof, 4-year-old rye delivers a distinct "candied orange" flavor profile, a direct result of its unique terroir and estate-grown winter rye . The hosts are immediately impressed by its sweetness and complexity, noting it drinks well beyond its age . Next, they dive into the Nevada Straight Bourbon, a four-grain whiskey featuring a special heirloom "earth tones" corn. Unlike the sweet yellow dent corn, this starchy variety is compared to a potato raw but transforms through the distilling process to produce a remarkable "cherry cola" note . This bourbon, also 4 years old and 94 proof, is aged in the same Kentucky-mimicking conditions and utilizes wooden foeders for fermentation, which adds a layer of complexity similar to a sourdough starter. The hosts praise its unique, cool, and fresh sweetness that coats the palate. The final tasting features the 5-year-old American Single Malt, a category O'Sullivan is deeply passionate about, having been mentored by Steve McCarthy, the pioneer of the first American single malt. This expression is a testament to technological and traditional craftsmanship. It's produced using custom Forsyth stills and a thermal oil calandria heating system that achieves a Maillard reaction, creating high-ester, flavorful whiskey right off the still. The aging process is just as intricate, taking place in a rickhouse that emulates the chilly, coastal climate of Ballindalloch, Scotland, and uses a combination of new American oak, used bourbon barrels, STRs, and Oloroso sherry casks . The result is a whiskey with a nose of deep, sweet honey-pear and butterscotch apricot. Throughout the episode, O'Sullivan shares insights into their water source from the Sierra Nevada snowpack, their in-house malting facility, and the collaborative spirit of the American whiskey industry. He also gives a glimpse into the future of Minden Mill, including experimental heirloom corns like Jimmy Red and upcoming special releases finished in unique casks like orange wine barrels .

Today, leaders are working side-by-side with up to five different generations. This creates both significant challenges and unique opportunities for building cohesive, high-performing teams. In this episode of Leadership Lounge, we talk to three of our trusted advisors—Kat Armstrong, Paco Ruiz-Maza, and Michelle Mion—who share their perspectives on: The leadership behaviors that foster truly inclusive multi-generational cultures How to manage productive conflict that arises from generational differences Effective cross-generational knowledge sharing strategies, including mentoring and shadow boards How emerging leaders develop critical thinking skills alongside AI adoption How to navigate the tension between preserving legacy and embracing innovation "It's managing conflict, not avoiding conflict. An adequately managed conflict, dispute, or conversation can be highly productive and enlightening for both sides." - Paco Ruiz-Maza Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds Associates Four things you'll learn from this episode Curiosity drives collaboration. Leaders who cultivate open dialogue and demonstrate genuine curiosity about different perspectives create environments where feedback flows freely in all directions, enhancing productivity across generations. Productive conflict is powerful. Rather than avoiding generational disagreements, effective leaders create channels for constructive conflict by parking formal hierarchies and viewing disagreement as an opportunity for innovation. Knowledge sharing works both ways. Innovative approaches like shadow boards and ‘skip meetings' create valuable exchanges where both younger and more experienced team members learn from each other's unique perspectives and expertise. Balance AI with human judgment. While 86% of leaders are implementing AI, ensuring emerging leaders develop foundational critical thinking skills remains crucial—AI enhances but cannot replace human expertise and judgment.

YOU SHOULD BE CHARGING A $1000 AVERAGE FEE FOR YOUR INSPECTIONS! At least that's what many leading inspectors and inspection company owners are saying. Ben Gromicko, COO of InterNACHI, is one of them. And while we fully support the idea... we want to know how it can be done and how feasible it is for the average inspector around the country. And that's why we brought on Ben! Watch the whole thing, because we get into the importance of understanding the value of home inspections, the role of marketing and consumer perception, and the psychology behind pricing strategies. The conversation also touches on the significance of community engagement and generosity in building long-term client relationships.  We also get into how InterNACHI is growing their educational content to train inspectors on natural disasters, modern technologies, water management, and innovative building techniques. The Links: Register for Inspection Fuel (September 8-10 in New Orleans) here: https://www.inspectionfuel.com/register Sign up for our newsletter here: https://pages.theridealong.show/newsletter  Learn more about InterNACHI here: https://www.nachi.org  The TLDR: Home inspectors need to understand the value they provide to clients. Raising prices can lead to working less while earning more. Marketing to the local community is essential for home inspectors. Consumer perception can be influenced by social media and reviews. Home inspectors should differentiate themselves from competitors. The home inspection industry can support higher pricing through perceived value. Networking with real estate agents can enhance visibility and credibility. Generosity in times of crisis can build long-term client relationships. Understanding market competition is crucial for pricing strategies. Business success requires a combination of skills, including marketing and psychology. Home inspectors can play a crucial role in disaster recovery efforts. Leveraging trained home inspectors can help address inspection shortages after disasters. InterNACHI continuously updates its coursework to include modern technologies. Understanding water management is essential for effective home inspections. Innovative practices in crawl space management can enhance home safety. Home inspectors should charge based on their individual business needs, not just competition. Effective marketing strategies are crucial for communicating the value of inspections. Home inspections should not be limited to buyers; there are other opportunities in the market. Home inspectors need to measure their marketing efforts to ensure profitability. The health of occupants is directly linked to the quality of their home inspections.

In part two of their conversation, Mark and Anton continue their wide-ranging conversation on personal and professional growth. They discuss raising capital, private equity, real estate trends, and the power of simplicity in business. The episode touches on mental health, the influence of tech leaders, political and economic shifts, and the role of authenticity, mentorship, and self-awareness in building a meaningful life. Takeaways Mitigate downsides when pursuing personal growth. Innovative learning can be achieved through seminar formats. Wealth creation is often overlooked in traditional education. Private equity can be misunderstood; it's about individual investment. Investment strategies should focus on simplicity and clarity. Raising capital requires a compelling narrative and confidence. Self-awareness is crucial for personal and professional development. Mentorship plays a vital role in learning and growth. Adult ADD can manifest without hyperactivity. Raising capital requires a strong team and strategy. Selling is about trust and collaboration, not just transactions. Protecting downside risk is crucial for investors. Creating value in real estate involves vision and insight. Visionary thinking is a key superpower for investors. Social media has a profound impact on society's dynamics. Technology is evolving faster than regulations can keep up. Political views can blend capitalism with social responsibility. Education plays a crucial role in shaping employment opportunities. The future of employment is tied to economic growth and manufacturing. Self-awareness is key to personal growth and happiness. Positivity can have a ripple effect on the community. The economy is poised for meaningful change in the coming years. Real estate trends are shifting towards retail and lifestyle centers. The impact of social media on society is a significant concern. Change is often perceived as chaotic, but it's a necessary part of growth. Education's value is subjective and varies for each individual. Therapy provides a unique space for individuals to process their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Breaking the stigma around mental health is crucial for societal acceptance.

Is China's strategic push for chemical self-sufficiency reshaping the global petrochemical landscape? John Richardson, senior consultant at ICIS, joins The Chemical Show to share insights on how misjudged growth expectations for China, shifting demographics, and the rise of state-driven capacity expansions have led to the deepest, longest downturn in industry history. John and host Victoria Meyer examine why capacity was built around hopes for perpetual strong Chinese demand, only for real estate and demographic headwinds to alter the trajectory—creating a world of oversupply, negative margins, and mounting uncertainty. Their conversation covers the ongoing impact of trade tensions, the real drivers behind Chinese investment decisions, and why shutting down uneconomical assets is becoming a pressing necessity, especially in Europe and Asia. John and Victoria also weigh the challenges and promises of AI and data intelligence in a conservative, data-guarded sector, and offer advice for industry leaders navigating persistent market disruption. For chemical professionals, these perspectives highlight why adaptability, intelligence, and innovation will be critical in mastering both today's volatility and tomorrow's opportunities. Discover more about the following topics: How China's pivot from growth to self-sufficiency is reshaping global petrochemicals. Why chemicals face their worst business cycle ever, with Asian producers bleeding money on polyethylene. How tariffs and shifting policies create constant uncertainty for chemical companies. Why China's government-backed enterprises compete on strategy, not just cost. How data and artificial intelligence will separate industry winners from losers. “We've all assumed that polymer sciences are, you know, composites and stuff and playing with the same basic molecules, but maybe not.”  — John Richardson 00:00 Chemical Industry Insights by John 06:08 Domestic Chemical Manufacturing Expansion 08:48 Polyethylene Margins: China vs. Middle East 11:31 Tariffs and Global Business Perspectives 14:43 China's Trade Resilience Amid Challenges 20:23 Data Sharing's Impact on AI 23:50 Debating Productivity's True Impact 26:34 AI: Industrial Revolution or Renaissance? 30:49 Innovative Multi-Pane Glass Advancements 31:43 Innovative, Stronger Glass Advances  Subscribe to The Chemical Show on YouTube  ***Don't miss an episode: Subscribe to The Chemical Show on your favorite podcast player.  ***Like what you hear?

Men's clothing styles can be challenging.  As professional people, going around meeting other professionals, we want to look professional.  But when it comes to shopping, many men aren't interested in running around and having to decide what looks good.  We want the clothes to just show up at our doorstep.

The beauty is the combination of clothes showing up, then they can be shipped back without washing them.  Then more clothing shows up.  This is an ideal way to stay fresh, trendy and noticed, while maintaining working as a busy professional looking for a minimum maintenance lifestyle. Anya discusses her past in Silicon Valley and how she developed Taelor.Style to help the busy professional man.

Anya Chang [00:00:18]: They don't want to look good actually, but they want to be successful. Our customers tend to start trying something new than before. A lot of guys when they signed up, we open their closet only blue. There's nothing else, just blue. And they only have the same dress shirt, the same brand in the last 10 years.

In this encore episode of The Voice of Retail from January 2025, I'm joined by Sergeant Craig Reynolds and Arezo Zarrabian, Senior Crime Analyst at the Vancouver Police Department, for an exclusive look inside Project Barcode—a pioneering effort to combat organized retail crime in Vancouver.Sparked by a staggering 260% increase in retail theft involving weapons, Project Barcode was launched in 2021 and has evolved into a city-wide operation. Combining targeted police action, strategic analytics, and cross-agency collaboration, the project has become a blueprint for combating retail crime across Canada—and beyond.Craig and Arezo take us behind the scenes of Barcode's design and deployment. With more than 1,400 arrests, 166 repeat offenders apprehended, and $1.4 million in goods and criminal assets recovered, Project Barcode is delivering measurable results. Arezo's data-driven insights guide every phase—from identifying hotspots by time and geography, to profiling offender patterns and predicting retail theft surges. One key innovation? Deploying officers based on real-time trends, such as peak theft hours or common entry points into the city.Yet the team doesn't just tackle frontline offenders. A major focus is upstream—targeting fences and organized resellers who drive demand for stolen goods. With the help of anti-fencing units and civil forfeiture laws, Project Barcode has disrupted the black-market supply chain while building stronger partnerships with the retail community.Craig and Arezo also share deeply human perspectives on the systemic issues behind the crimes: homelessness, addiction, lack of mental health support, and underfunded social services. They stress that many offenders are exploited and desperate—often stealing not out of greed, but obligation to pay off debts. They advocate for wraparound solutions that go beyond law enforcement, including judicial reform, community policing, and better data sharing.The episode closes with a look ahead: more coordination, smarter deployment, and a renewed call for nationwide efforts to recognize retail crime as a serious threat to public safety and economic stability.If you're a retailer, policymaker, or security professional, this is essential listening on how cities can combine compassion, innovation, and accountability to fight retail crime—and win.

In 2021, Harley-Davidson made the controversial switch from their robust hydraulic clutch system to the antiquated cable clutch system. As a police motorcycle officer and instructor, I can confidently say that the hydraulic system was superior in terms of consistency, reliability, and ease of use. However, if you're stuck with a cable clutch system on your Harley, don't worry—there are ways to make it great again. We walk you through everything you need to know about upgrading your cable clutch system with high-quality Fat Baggers & PSR Lever components, ensuring better control, comfort, and overall riding experience. All the products discussed are available in the Law Abiding Biker™ store, along with detailed installation videos to guide you through the process. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The stock clutch system on a Harley-Davidson is designed to accommodate a broad range of riders. However, it's not tailored for individual preferences, which can hinder optimal control and comfort. One major flaw of the stock cable clutch system is its plastic adjuster, prone to breaking and leaving riders stranded. Additionally, it lacks the ability for fine-tuning the clutch lever's friction zone, which is critical for precise motorcycle control. Upgrading to metal components and adding adjustability not only enhances durability but also allows you to customize the clutch system to your specific needs. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! 1. Start with the Fat Baggers Easy Clutch Adjuster The first step is replacing the stock plastic adjuster with the Fat Baggers Easy Clutch Adjuster. This metal piece allows for precise adjustments, enabling you to position the clutch lever's friction zone exactly where you want it. Installation is straightforward and can be done in your garage with basic tools. 2. Upgrade to the Aluminum Clutch Cable Housing The next enhancement involves replacing the bottom plastic housing with a durable Fat Baggers aluminum one. This not only removes another weak plastic component but also improves the overall aesthetics and functionality of your clutch system. 3. Install the Upper Clutch Cable with Built-in Adjuster For ultimate convenience, consider installing the Fat Baggers Upper Clutch Cable with an integrated adjuster near the clutch lever. This allows you to make adjustments while seated on the bike, eliminating the need to dismount repeatedly. This cable is available in black or braided finishes for a custom look. 4. Enhance with PSR Adjustable Levers Finally, take your customization to the next level with PSR Adjustable Levers. These levers offer unparalleled adjustability and a sleek design, ensuring maximum comfort and control. With options for length, angle, and detailed customization, they're a must-have addition. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Installing A Wind Splitter Windshield On A 2024 & Newer Harley | And A Review!

In this episode, Clay and Dr. Walker dive into the transformative benefits of semaglutide and tirzepatide, GLP-1 agonist medications known for their effectiveness in weight loss.

Dr. Walker emphasizes the importance of identifying the root cause of low testosterone through comprehensive blood work, highlighting conditions like sleep apnea, obesity, or past use of anabolic substances that can contribute. He addresses common concerns about testosterone therapy for older men, debunking myths and explaining its safety and benefits when medically supervised. The discussion extends to younger men with low testosterone, with Dr. Walker advocating for a thorough evaluation to determine whether lifestyle changes or medical intervention is the best course.   Clay and Dr. Walker also tackle the controversial topic of peptides, addressing the hype surrounding these compounds in fitness and anti-aging circles.

He stresses the importance of sticking to FDA-approved treatments from reputable sources, such as brand-name medications or trusted compounding pharmacies, to ensure safety and efficacy.   Beyond men's health, Dr. Walker introduces the services offered at Women's Wellness of Mississippi, located upstairs in the same facility.
