From 14 Straight Losses to National Coach of the Year: The Chris Ayres StoryChris Ayres knows what it feels like to struggle before things finally click.Long before becoming one of college wrestling's most respected coaches, he lost 14 straight matches as a youth wrestler.Most athletes would have quit.Instead, Ayres stayed in the fight.In this inspiring episode of HarmonyTALK, host Greg Frigoletto speaks with the New Jersey native about resilience, leadership, and the unlikely path that carried him from underdog athlete to national coaching success at two of the country's most prestigious universities: Princeton and Stanford.Ayres reflects on growing up as a high-energy kid searching for direction, discovering wrestling as a place where his intensity became an advantage, and learning how failure often becomes the foundation for future success.That persistence helped transform him into an Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association champion, a two-time recipient of Lehigh's Outstanding Athlete honor, an All-American wrestler, and a record-setting athlete before launching a coaching career that reshaped multiple programs.After helping Lehigh capture five straight Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association team championships as an assistant coach, Ayres took over a Princeton program that had nearly been canceled years earlier and helped guide the Tigers into one of the most exciting eras in program history, including a Top 6 national finish.Now at Stanford, Ayres has quickly elevated the Cardinal into national contention, earning 2026 National Coach of the Year honors after leading Stanford to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in only his third season.Filled with honesty and perspective, this conversation goes far beyond sports. It is about positivity, persistence, and what becomes possible when someone keeps showing up long enough for the story to change. @Greg FrigolettoFollow Chris Ayers:Instagram: @ayers157Facebook: @ChrisAyresStanford Wrestling: @CardWrestling

Phill Drobnick (@CoachPhill) recently retired as the National Team Director at USA Curling after the 2026 Milan Olympics, bringing an end to nearly two decades of coaching experience at the international level. Since 2005, Phill has been instrumental in guiding Team USA to international success, including notable achievements at the Olympics and World Championships. Phill's coaching highlights include guiding Team USA to the Junior Men's World Championship in 2008, and more recently, orchestrating the unforgettable gold medal win for Team Shuster at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. That victory was the U.S.'s first-ever Olympic gold in curling. He was back in Pyeongchang in 2023, where Korey Dropkin and Cory Christensen clinched the first-ever Mixed Doubles World Championship for the U.S.  Phill also had his share of learning experiences, including serving as Head Coach at the 2010 Winter Olympics, where he gained valuable insights through the team's challenges. This experience informed his subsequent role as Project 2018 National Coach, where he worked with athletes identified as potential Olympians. His promotion to Men's National Coach in 2014 saw him leading Team Shuster into the 2018 Olympic Games. From 2018 to 2022, Phill served as the Men's and Mixed Doubles National Coach, and at the 2022 Olympics, he was the National Coach for the Men's, Women's, and Mixed Doubles teams. In our discussion today we take a deep dive into the intricacies of curling, the intense training the athletes do, and even cover some of the highlights and lowlights of the 2026 Winter Olympics.  BE THE FIRST TO KNOW ABOUT THE RELEASE OF OUR NEW BOOK Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader, due out in May 2026. Please fill out this quick Google form and you will be notified when discounted book pre-orders are available. We are constantly asked "where have all the leaders gone?"

Martin sits down with Lee Houghton, the UK's National Coach of the Year and founder of Get Knowledge, for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about artificial intelligence and what it's doing to us as humans.Fresh from the Forum Conference, both self-confessed AI enthusiasts wrestle with a genuine tension: they love how AI has transformed their solo businesses, but they're worried about what we might be quietly giving away in the process. Are we outsourcing our creativity, our curiosity, and our human connection along with our admin?From SatNav and checkbooks to ChatGPT and Claude, Martin and Lee explore how technology has always reshaped behaviour and ask whether this time it's different. Lee shares his fear that we're slowly "practicing being human" less and less, while Martin wonders whether AI could actually create space for the things that make us irreplaceable: lived experience, genuine connection, and the kind of nuance no prompt can fully capture.They also touch on inclusion and exclusion in the AI age, what organisational structures might look like in the future, and inevitably, the looming spectre of Tottenham's relegation.Warm, funny, and thought-provoking……this one's got real heart.Topics covered:The "AI is as bad as it's ever going to be" mindset shiftOutsourcing thinking vs. outsourcing the humanHead, hands & heart — what AI can and can't replaceInclusion gaps in an AI-accelerated worldWhy your actual intention behind using AI matters

The architect of the greatest single-season turnaround in NCAA history, a Division II National Champion and National Coach of the Year, Jordan Fee has been named as Lamar University head men's basketball coach announced LU Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeff O'Malley Saturday afternoon. Fee becomes the 13th head coach in program history. "I am extremely excited to be announcing Jordan as our next head basketball coach," said O'Malley. "Jordan has been described as a 'driving force' and I think once our fans get a chance to meet him they will understand why. Jordan is a dynamic individual whose résumé speaks for itself. He is looking forward to being a Cardinal and we're excited to be handing him the reins." Fee comes to the Golden Triangle from Boca Raton, Fla., where he spent the past two seasons as an assistant at Florida Atlantic, including this past year where he was promoted to associate head coach, helping lead the Owls to 36 wins and a 2025 postseason berth. Fee's meteoric rise to the NCAA Division I ranks comes as a shock to no one after building a résumé boasting of some of the most prolific offensive numbers in NCAA history. After spending eight seasons at Nova Southeastern University – seven as assistant and the final year as associate head coach – Fee was named head coach at Gannon University. What followed was a turnaround that grabbed national headlines. Taking over a program that posted a 3-23 (.115) overall record the year before his arrival, Fee literally flipped the script recording a 32-3 (.914) mark while Gannon also made a 17-win improvement in conference play. The Golden Knights would go on to lead NCAA Division II in scoring (100.4 points per game), win the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) regular-season and tournament title, win the NCAA DII Atlantic Region title and advance to the 2024 Division II Elite Eight and record the greatest single-season turnaround in NCAA history, regardless of division or gender. For his efforts, Fee was named both PSAC West Coach of the Year and NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year. Fee took over as GU's head coach following a year where he helped guide Nova Southeastern to a perfect 36-0 record and an NCAA Division II National Championship. "Lamar University has a proud history of excellence on the basketball court, and we are committed to bringing that championship‑level success back to Beaumont," said LU President Dr. Jaime Taylor. "This search generated tremendous national interest, and I am confident that we have identified the right leader for Lamar University. Jordan brings an energy, a vision, and a proven record that align perfectly with who we are and where we intend to go. He is one of the true rising stars in the coaching profession, and I am excited to see our program grow and thrive under his leadership." Fee has left a paper trail of success that is hard to ignore in the world of collegiate basketball. During his time as either head coach or assistant, Fee has helped coach a National Champion, posted a 178-77 (.698) overall record, three NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearances, four NCAA Division II tournament appearances, three South Region Championships, three conference regular season and tournament titles and recruited and developed consecutive DII National Players of the Year.

If you're over 40 and feel like the old "eat less, move more" advice isn't working anymore, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Alicia Jones to talk about why most women are falling short on protein in midlife — and the simple, realistic shifts that can support muscle, metabolism, and steady energy without extreme dieting. If you're over 40 and feel like your energy, strength, or body composition has shifted — you're not imagining it. One of the biggest gaps I see in midlife women is protein intake. Most women are simply not getting enough, and in perimenopause and menopause that can quietly affect muscle, metabolism, cravings, inflammation, and how you feel day to day. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, I'm joined by fitness and weight loss strategist Alicia Jones, who helps women over 45 transform their health through realistic nutrition and training strategies. We talk about what changes during hormonal transition, why extreme calorie restriction can backfire, and how supporting lean muscle can make midlife health and weight goals feel more doable again. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why most women over 40 are falling short on protein (and why it matters more in midlife) How perimenopause and menopause can increase muscle loss risk Why protecting lean muscle supports metabolic rate and long-term quality of life Protein targets to aim for: 20–30 grams per meal (and daily guidance based on body weight/activity) Why drastic calorie cutting can make results harder in midlife Easy protein strategies that don't require a complete diet overhaul Smart swaps (like higher-protein yogurt options) and how to read labels Added sugars vs naturally occurring sugars (what to pay attention to) A simple "log one day of food" approach to identify hidden gaps (especially protein and fiber) Midlife fitness mindset shifts: quality over quantity, resistance training, and practical ways to add intensity into everyday movement Key Takeaway Midlife doesn't require harsher restriction — it requires smarter support. When protein and strength are prioritized, many women notice improvements in energy, satiety, strength, and body composition — without the burnout of constant dieting.

As artificial intelligence-powered tools flood the market and marketing becomes faster, cheaper and easier to automate, advisors are discovering an uncomfortable truth: more tech doesn't automatically create more trust. In an industry that's louder and more crowded than ever, growth is no longer a tactics problem; it's an attention, resonance and differentiation problem. The firms that win will be the ones that understand how technology amplifies identity, not replaces it, and how behavioral finance and neuroscience shape decisions long before a prospect ever takes a meeting. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, Shannon Rosic sits down with Dr. Joshua Wilson, founder of NeuBeFi, to explore where tech, behavioral finance, and human psychology actually intersect, and why most advisors are focusing on the wrong side of the decision-making process. Key takeaways: Why most firms have a marketability problem, not a marketing problem  How technology amplifies identity rather than creating differentiation What “signal discovery” means and how it turns sameness into differentiation Why growth fails when treated as a checklist instead of a diagnosis How clarity and cognitive relief drive trust in money decisions Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Dr. Joshua Wilson: LinkedIn: Dr. Joshua Wilson LinkedIn: NeuBeFi Website: NeuBeFi About Our Guest: Dr. Joshua Wilson is the pioneer behind Neuro-Behavioral Finance—a transformative approach that fuses behavioral finance, neuroscience, narrative strategy, and decision science to help advisors and FinTechs become the only option their ideal clients feel drawn to.

Steve Turner—now Head of Basketball Operations and National Team Head Coach at Montverde Academy—breaks down the modern prep-to-college pathway with zero fluff. After 26 years at Gonzaga College High School, Turner explains why he chose Montverde, how he builds a “we over me” roster for EYBL Scholastic, and why academics still matter for top-50 talents. He gives families straight talk on NIL (what to learn before signing anything), whether high school stars really need agents, and how the transfer portal reshaped recruiting. Turner also shares his parent perspective from his son's transfer (Northeastern → Old Dominion) and the mindset/mental health guardrails families should prioritize.

If you want practical, current guidance on prep school selection, player development, and realistic college placement in 2025–26, this one's for you. Ready to find the right fit—not the loudest offer? Let's dig in.

In the sport of lacrosse, Julie Myers is a legend. As a player, she achieved a National Championship. As a coach, she is responsible for 2 total National Championships, 6 Final Four appearances, 5 Title Game appearances, 5 ACC Championships and 27 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. She was also National Coach of the Year in 2004, ACC Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2006 . She was inducted in the US Lacrosse Hall of fame and the IWLCA Hall of Fame. In 2022, She earned the Diane Geppi Aikens Lifetime Achievement Award. But athletics is only part of her story. Julie's success in sports and life is a result of grit, resilience and putting family first. Growing up, she loved competing with her siblings while appreciating how lucky she was to be able to play. As a coach, she emphasized the value of relationships and feeling connected. As a mother, she made hard decisions that kept her on the right path. In one of the biggest tragedies to affect the lacrosse communities, the death of Yeardley Love to abuse by an ex-boyfriend, Julie Myers realized that who she was and what she accomplished was just a drop in the bucket of life but also learned that every drop is incredibly important. With the beginning on The One Love Foundation, she was determined to make her ripple bigger by creating social change, raising awareness about relationship abuse and educating about relationship health. Now as CEO, she is responsible for ultimately teaching us all to “Love Better.” Julie Myers' message and legacy show us that, “It is amazing what people can do, especially when they have to.” @join1love

“You can't be someone who shies away from sticking your neck out. I tell our guys: ‘We are trying to win.' I'll say it publicly. I will say it to anybody. Maybe that puts pressure on us. But life is pressure. Athletics is practice for life. You need to figure out how to handle pressure, how to handle stress, how to handle others' expectations, your own expectations, and manage it”.We continue with our office hours episodes as I sit down with Coach Dave Smith, one of the most accomplished coaches in NCAA cross country history and the architect behind Oklahoma State's dominance.
