Tim Tebow is back—and this time he's bringing full-on dad energy. Tim shares the surreal (and hilarious) realities of becoming a father to Daphne Raine, from driving home like a hyper-cautious grandpa to realizing how instantly responsibility rewires your whole brain. Along the way, Levi and Jennie soak up Tim's reflections on what fatherhood has already taught him about God's voice in chaos, and how love turns into action. Then the conversation turns tender and powerful as Tim opens up about his new book If the Tree Could Speak—a poetic, perspective-shifting retelling of the gospel through the life of the tree that became the cross. From Easter tenderness to the brutal honesty of Calvary, this episode is a reminder that the cross changes everything—and that our calling is to live like we actually believe it.

This week on Hustleshare, host Ron Baetiong sits down with Michael McCullough, Chairman of KMC Solutions, to unpack how a lemonade stand kid from Oregon built one of the largest flexible office and offshoring platforms in the Philippines, powering 800+ companies and 20,000 desks nationwide. From coding MVPs and battling 2.5 Mbps internet to betting big on Filipino talent, Michael reveals the grit, culture-building, and calculated risk-taking it took to turn labor arbitrage into a long-term empire.“There's developers that want to do it perfectly and they want a full week or three weeks to do it perfectly. And there's some that will understand that you're looking for a quick shortcut because there's no money in the project unless someone's about to sign and pay for the project. And having it done perfectly doesn't mean that we're going to have cash coming in so I can pay you. And they don't understand. The developers don't always understand the commercial aspect of what we're trying to solve for. And that money just doesn't appear out of thin air.” – Michael McCulloughConnect with Michael:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mmccullough/Website: https://kmc.solutions/Links/Sponsors:OneCFO: https://www.onecfoph.co/PLDT Enterprise: https://pldtenterprise.com- MSME Fiberbiz - https://bit.ly/pldtenterprise-ROId-nbsi-fiberbiz - 5G SIM Only - https://bit.ly/pldtenterprise-ROId-nbsi-smart-postpaidHustleshare is powered by Podmachine.

AI Assisted Coding: How Spending 4x More on Code Quality Doubled Development Speed What happens when you combine nearly 30 years of engineering experience with AI-assisted coding? In this episode, Eduardo Ferro shares his experiments showing that AI doesn't replace good practices—it amplifies them. The result: doubled productivity while spending four times more on code quality. Vibe Coding vs Production-Grade AI Development "Vibe coding is flow-driven, curiosity-based way of building software with AI. It's less about meticulously reviewing each line of code, and more about letting the AI steer the process—perfect for quick experiments, side projects, MVPs, and prototypes."   Edu draws a clear distinction between vibe coding and production AI development. Vibe coding is exploration-focused, where you let AI drive while you learn and discover. Production AI coding is goal-focused, with careful planning, spec definition, and identification of edge cases before implementation. Both use small, safe steps and continuous conversation with the AI, but production code demands architectural thinking, security analysis, and sustainability practices. The key insight is that even vibe coding benefits from engineering discipline—as experiments grow, you need sustainable practices to maintain flexibility. How AI Doubled My Productivity "I was investing four times more in refactoring, cleanup, deleting code, introducing new tests, improving testability, and security analysis than in generating new features. And at the same time, globally, I think I more or less doubled my pace of work."   Edu's two-month experiment with production code revealed a counterintuitive finding: by spending 4x more time on code quality activities—refactoring, cleanup, test improvement, and security analysis—he actually doubled his overall delivery speed. The secret lies in fast feedback loops. With AI, you can implement a feature, run automated code review, analyze security, prioritize improvements, and iterate—all within an hour. What used to be a day's work happens in a single focused session, and the quality improvements compound over time. The Positive Spiral of Code Removal "We removed code, so we removed all the features that were not being used. And whenever I remove this code, the next step is to automatically try to see, okay, can I simplify the architecture."   One of the most powerful practices Edu discovered is using AI to accelerate code removal. By connecting product analytics to identify unused features, then using AI to quickly remove them, you trigger a positive spiral: removing code makes architecture changes easier, easier architecture changes enable faster feature development, which leads to more opportunities for simplification. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle that humans historically have been reluctant to pursue because removal was as expensive as creation. Preparing the System Before Introducing Change "What I want to generate is this new functionality—how should I change my system to make it super easy to introduce this one? It's not about making the change, it's about making the change easy."   Edu describes a practice that was previously too expensive: preparing the system before introducing changes. By analyzing architecture decision records, understanding the existing design, and adapting the codebase first, new features become trivial to implement. AI makes this preparation cheap enough to do routinely. The result is systems that evolve cleanly rather than accumulating technical debt with each new feature. AI as an Amplifier: The Double-Edged Sword "AI is an amplifier. People who already know how to develop software well will continue to develop it well and faster. People who did not know how to develop software well will probably get in trouble much faster than they would otherwise."   Edu's central metaphor is AI as an amplifier—it doesn't replace engineering judgment, it magnifies its presence or absence. Teams with strong practices will see accelerated improvement; teams without them will generate technical debt faster than ever. This has implications beyond individual productivity: the market will be saturated with solutions, making product discovery and distribution channels more important than implementation capability.   In this episode, we refer to Edu's blog post Fast Feedback, Fast Features: My AI Assisted Coding Experiment and Vibe Coding by Gene Kim.   About Eduardo Ferro Edu Ferro is Head of Engineering and Data Platform at ClarityAI, with nearly 30 years' experience. He helps teams deliver value through Lean, XP, and DevOps, blending technical depth with product thinking. Recently he explores AI-assisted product development, sharing insights and experiments on his site eferro.net.   You can connect with Edu Ferro on LinkedIn.

What if failure isn't something to avoid, but a skill to master? This episode breaks down why startups can't be built on certainty—new markets, new products, and new teams mean you're guaranteed to be wrong a lot. The goal isn't to “be right,” it's rapid error correction: make decisions, ship anyway, learn fast, and recover even faster. The conversation covers how avoiding failure leads to paralysis (“steering a parked car”), why indecision compounds in startups, and how to reduce risk by keeping failures small, reversible, and frequent (kill switches, stop rules, and capped losses). They share early personal stories—school fights and a childhood cattle business collapse—to show how overcoming real consequences builds confidence and resilience. Practical examples include choosing an ICP quickly, improving poor conversion rates through iteration, using vesting/cliffs when picking co-founders, and why even top VCs still miss constantly. The key takeaway: the most dangerous competitor is the one who isn't afraid to get hit, recover, and keep coming back—because that's as close to “invincible” as a founder can get.02:01 Failure Isn't the Enemy: Stop Optimizing for Being Right02:59 The Founder Reality: Uncertainty, Rapid Error Correction & the Boxing Analogy03:44 Safety vs Startups: Why Most People Avoid the Risk05:24 ‘Steering a Parked Car': Indecision Kills Startups07:54 Make the Call, Learn Fast: Small Failures, Big Truths09:02 We're Conditioned to Fear Failure (School, Work, Relationships)11:59 Will's Origin Story: Jason Barker and Learning to Beat the Monster14:48 Choosing to Fail on Purpose: Turning Fear into a Superpower17:06 Ryan's First Big Failure: The Farm/Cattle Business Lesson Begins17:45 Cash-Strapped Expansion: Inventory Leverage & a Brutal Winter18:09 When the Side Hustle Needs a Side Hustle (and the Cost of Neglect)18:35 Failing Hard at 12: Losing Animals and Learning to Plan19:51 Founders Don't Win by Being Right—They Win by Taking Hits21:36 Shipping While Wrong: Marketing Experiments, MVPs, and Momentum22:51 Hiring, Co-Founders & Investors: Why Nobody Can Pick Perfectly24:00 The Real Skill: Recovering From Failure (Resilience as a Reflex)30:26 Small Blast Radius, High Frequency: Reversible Bets & Kill Switches31:13 Failure Is Portable: Building a House, Living ‘Why Not,' No RegretsResources:Startup Therapy Podcasthttps://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top FoundersWil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/What to listen for:

Super Bowl 60 Review Game Review - Seahawks won their second SB in franchise history beating the Patriots 29-13- Pats punted on their first 6 drives of the game - Jason Myers kicked 3 FG in the first half to give the Seahawks a 9-0 lead - Kenneth Walker had a 30 and 29 yard run on one of the drives that were huge plays for the Seahawks - After another Pats punt in the 3rd, Seahawks take get another FG to go up 12-0 - At this point in the game I was thinking would there be any TDs in the game - Both defense were playing with their hair on fire - Drake Maye was under siege the entire game, didn't play well - Darnold didn't play that good either, but he did great job managing the game - At the end of the 3rd quarter Maye is sacked by Derick Hall and DT Byron Murphy recovers the fumble - Getting the ball at NE 37, the Seahawks finally put together a drive and score a TD 16 yard AJ Barner TD - At this point I knew the game was over- However, on the next drive, Maye hits Mack Hollins on two 30 yard bombs to cut the deficit to 19-7- Seahawks punt on their next drive - Pats after the punt, gets the ball back, and Maye throws a terrible pick to Julian Love - Seahawks get another FG to go up 22-7 - Next Pat drive, Maye throws the kiss of death pick 6 to Uchenna Nwosu to seal the game Biggest Takeways From the Game - Seahawks winning this proved you don't need a young genius offense coach to win a SB - Seahawks defense really were the MVPs of the game, Pats really sustain any drives all night - Drake Maye put up one of the worse playoffs runs for at least 3 games in a postseason since 2000 - With hindsight, you would think a defense of coach is going to make a young QB feel uncomfortable and that is what happened Winners and Losers

Anne Cocquyt is a Silicon Valley operator, educator, and bestselling startup author who helps founders turn ideas into real businesses—fast. She's the Founder & CEO of The Guild and The Guild Studio, an award-winning instructor at UC Berkeley, and a trusted advisor to accelerators around the world. In this episode, Anne breaks down how “vibe coding” and AI-powered tools are radically changing entrepreneurship—making it possible for anyone (even non-technical founders) to build MVPs, validate ideas, and reach market in days instead of months. On this episode we talk about: What “vibe coding” is and how non-technical founders can build MVPs in minutes Why traditional startup development (and million-dollar dev budgets) are becoming obsolete How AI is shrinking feedback loops and accelerating product-market fit The skills founders actually need in an AI-first world Practical ways to test ideas, validate demand, and market early-stage products Top 3 Takeaways You no longer need a big dev team or massive funding to launch—AI tools let founders build and iterate MVPs in days, not years. The real differentiator isn't code anymore—it's critical thinking, understanding users, and building something people actually want. Entrepreneurs who succeed will be “umbrella-skilled generalists,” able to build, test, market, and adapt quickly as technology evolves. Notable Quotes “Code is no longer a moat—the little dragon is the vibe coder.” “It's not a question anymore if you can build it. It's a question if you should build it.” “Unless you can wear multiple hats, it's going to be very hard to defend just one skill.” Connect with Anne Cocquyt: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annecocquyt Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/annecocquyt Other: Website: https://annecocquyt.com The Guild Studio: Letsguild.com/studio  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Most baseball families believe the path to success is more reps, more pressure, more seriousness — but former World Series champion and MLB manager Kurt Suzuki sees it differently. In this special episode of The Most Valuable Agent, MLB agent Matt Hannaford sits down with Kurt Suzuki and his 12-year-old son Kai for an honest, refreshing conversation about youth baseball, parenting, pressure, and what actually builds confident, resilient players. This isn't a highlight-reel interview — it's a real look inside how a big leaguer thinks about development before the stats, rankings, and expectations take over. Kurt opens up about the mistakes he made as a player, the lessons he wishes he learned earlier, and why his number-one rule as a dad and coach is never telling a kid to "do more" after a bad game. Together, they talk through the emotional side of baseball: handling failure, separating identity from performance, why fun matters more than trophies at 12 years old, and how parents can support growth without accidentally creating burnout. Kai shares what it's actually like growing up around the big leagues — from clubhouse prank stories to what helps him stay loose when games get tense. If you're a parent, coach, or player navigating travel ball, pressure-filled weekends, and the constant feeling that your kid should be doing more — this episode brings clarity, perspective, and a much-needed exhale. Subscribe for weekly insight on player development, mindset, recruiting, and the business of baseball — with conversations families rarely get to hear this honestly. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why "having fun" isn't soft — it's a competitive advantage • How Kurt separates being a dad from being a coach • The one phrase Kurt refuses to say after bad games • Why practice should be intense — but games should be free • How kids absorb pressure even when adults think they're hiding it • Why winning at 12 doesn't matter as much as learning how to win • How to teach confidence without tying identity to performance • What youth players actually need after failure • How clubhouse culture translates directly to youth baseball teams • Why burnout often starts with good intentions from parents ABOUT KURT SUZUKI Kurt Suzuki is a former MLB catcher, World Series champion, and current Major League manager. Over a 16-year big league career, he became known as a leader, game-caller, and teammate-first professional. Today, Kurt brings those same principles to coaching, player development, and parenting — emphasizing preparation, mindset, and respect for the game.

We highlight some of the amazing people who have supported us and the profession, including culture carriers, change agents, mentors, Great Gentlemen in Compliance, and collaborators and supporters. We also wanted to recognize some true MVPs – those who have stood up at personal and professional risk to strengthen integrity, support whistleblowers, and push the profession forward. It also shines a light on the often-unspoken challenges of ethical decision-making and the consequences that may come from speaking out, including well-being and professional isolation.  Their work and stories reaffirm the reasons we do what we do and why we are committed to the mission. We should have an award for the entire GWIC community for your support and for sticking with us.  We are excited for what comes next, including new branding, materials, and exciting content.

Alright folks, grab your wrenches and let's dive into some plumbing 101! This week, I'm dishing out all the juicy deets on tackling those pesky frozen pipes that have turned your home into a winter wonderland of leaks and chaos. Seriously, if you thought your life was a mess before, just wait until you experience the thrill of water spraying out of a pipe like it's auditioning for a role in a disaster movie. I'll also give you the lowdown on what supplies to snag, because let's be real, Home Depot might as well be a ghost town right now. So, whether you're a DIY hero or just trying to survive the plumber's nightmare, stick around for tips that might just save your home from becoming an indoor swimming pool! Winter is knocking on the door, and with it comes the dreaded frozen pipes. Eric G is back for a midweek episode that's part plumbing tutorial, part therapy session for those of us staring down the barrel of home repair chaos. He's chatting about how to fix those pesky frozen pipes without feeling like you're in a horror movie. Spoiler alert: CPVC is not the hero of this story. Eric's here to convert you to the PEX way of life, breaking down the ins and outs of the different types of PEX like a seasoned plumber with a degree in sarcasm. The episode is packed with practical advice, but Eric doesn't stop there. He shares his personal experiences battling icy conditions, recounting tales of power outages and downed trees that'll have you laughing (and cringing) in sympathy. He's got a solid plan for tackling repairs, emphasizing that local plumbing suppliers are the real MVPs when it comes to getting your hands on the right parts. Who wants to waste time rummaging through empty shelves at the big-box stores? Not you! Eric's guiding you straight to the source to ensure you come out on top. And just when you think you've heard it all, Eric spills the beans on his upcoming project with Cam Anderson from Blacktail Studio, promising a YouTube series that's already making waves.

Don't miss it—grab your tools, put on your best work gloves, and let's get through this together!Takeaways:When facing frozen pipes, local plumbing supply stores might just be your best bet for quick repair parts, unlike those big box stores that are perpetually out of stock.If you're considering PEX for your plumbing repairs, remember that PEX A is the golden child for flexibility and freeze protection; it's basically the superhero of pipes.Let's be real, CPVC is like that one friend who always brings drama—avoid replacing anything with it unless you want to invite chaos into your plumbing system.Galvanized pipes are the worst; they clog up faster than a coffee straw at a milkshake convention; time to say goodbye, folks!If you're stuck with a busted copper pipe, don't just slap on a push-to-connect fitting; cut it out and do it right with PEX or sweat in new copper.Eric's shoulder surgery is around the corner, but don't worry, the show will keep rolling—just don't expect him to be lifting anything heavier than a coffee cup!Companies mentioned in this episode:Home Depot

The Super Bowl teams have been decided!Yes, the Conference Championship games are over and the New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks in two weeks for all of the marbles! Congrats to fans of both teams. Obviously, Jon is bummed that his rival team is going to the big game (again), but you gotta love what Mike Vrabel has done with this team. The guys discuss the AFC Championship game that was, in all of its defensive glory. 10-7 is a low-scoring affair, no doubt. How did the Patriots pull it off? Did Sean Payton blow the game by not taking an easy field goal? Was his ego to blame? The NFC Championship game was way more exciting, with two familiar teams going at it. It came down to the wire, and the Sam Darnold-led Seahawks pulled it off. It's another example of a team making a quick turnaround. The Seattle fans must be proud of their organization. Schif is extra bummed that his team passed on both of the coaches that will be playing in the Super Bowl. Such is life.Listen in for the MVPs, Trash, Shit Got Learned and Speck Recipients.

Most baseball families think "insurance" only becomes relevant after a player signs a pro contract — but the truth is, disability insurance is already shaping decisions in high school recruiting, NIL negotiations, and college roster building. In this episode of The Most Valuable Agent, MLB agent Matt Hannaford sits down with David Brookbank, co-founder of Income Protection Consultants (IPC), one of the most trusted independent voices in the disability insurance space for elite athletes. David has spent 30+ years inside disability policy structure, claims, and underwriting — and he's also deeply plugged into sports law and the business side of college athletics through Arizona State's sports law ecosystem. Together, they break down what disability insurance actually is (and what it isn't), why "loss of value" is the most misunderstood term in amateur baseball, and how families can avoid the biggest mistake: listening only to the person selling the policy. You'll learn the real layers of coverage (Permanent Total Disability, Critical Injury, Temporary Total Disability), how policy language can completely change whether a claim gets paid, why illness claims can be bigger than injury claims, and how universities are now using disability policies as a tool to attract and retain draft-level talent. If you're a parent, player, or coach trying to understand what happens if he gets hurt — and how to protect a future before the draft/NIL money shows up — this episode gives you the roadmap. Subscribe for weekly insight on player development, recruiting, and the business of baseball — with the truth families rarely hear early enough. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • What disability insurance is in sports — and why it exists • The 3 core layers of coverage: PTD vs Critical Injury vs Temporary Total Disability • Why most policies cover athletes 24/7, not just during games • The biggest misconception: why writers and families wrongly call everything "loss of value" • How Tommy John/UCL coverage varies dramatically based on policy wording • Why "required within 30 days" vs "performed within 30 days" can decide a claim • Hidden fine print that can void a payout (ex: % of season missed requirements) • The real claim rates David sees across hundreds of athletes each year • How universities handle insurance options (and why they can't "direct" one policy) • Why disability insurance is becoming part of NIL and revenue-share negotiations • How high school draft prospects use disability coverage as a college decision lever • What premiums can look like for pitchers — and why pitchers are the most expensive to insure • Why policy honesty matters: applications, medical records, and avoiding claim denial ABOUT DAVID David Brookbank is the co-founder of Income Protection Consultants (IPC), a specialty consulting firm that analyzes and advises on disability insurance policies for elite athletes across high school, college, and professional sports. David began his career in disability insurance over three decades ago and now focuses on independent policy review, education, underwriting guidance, and claims navigation — without selling the policies himself. He holds a master's in legal studies with a concentration in sports law and contract law and is deeply connected to the sports business ecosystem through Arizona State.
