In this episode of The Industrialist, Jeremy Mercer sits down with retail real estate veteran Dave Cheatham to discuss the changing business landscape surrounding college athletics, NIL, and the broader evolution of real estate strategy.With more than 30 years of experience and over $3 billion in retail transactions, Dave has advised some of the nation's largest brands including JCPenney, Hobby Lobby, Aldi, Gap, Darden, CVS Pharmacy, and Signet. Throughout his career — including leadership roles at CB Richard Ellis, Staubach Retail, and X Team Retail Advisors — he has become known for helping shape corporate real estate strategies, executing large-scale retail rollouts, and mentoring the next generation of industry leaders.Jeremy and Dave dive into how NIL is reshaping college sports, how universities and brands are adapting, and why understanding market dynamics matters more than ever. The conversation also explores the parallels between sports and real estate - from stadium developments and student housing demand to long-term investment strategy and navigating changing economic cycles.This episode is a practical discussion on leadership, adaptability, relationship-driven business, and what it takes to stay ahead in industries that are constantly evolving.
In this episode, former Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Scott Karl traces his path from Carlsbad standout to big league starter to financial advisor. He swaps stories with Jeff about Bandon Dunes and his move from California to Lake Norman, then dives into his career, getting a last-minute shot after the '94 strike, surviving as a finesse pitcher in a power era, facing legends like Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, and Sammy Sosa, and taking the mound during the 1998 home run chase. Scott shares how he lost roughly 70% of his portfolio in the dot-com bust while still playing, what it taught him about risk and advisors, and how it pushed him into wealth management. He explains why many athletes blow through life-changing money, how he builds portfolios with buffered ETFs, structured notes, and private credit, and how he manages expectations around upside, downside, and liquidity. The conversation widens to NIL, parents effectively betting travel-ball costs on scholarships, and the risk of turning college sports into a money race. Scott also talks about raising two Division I volleyball players, the mental side of high performance, and how those lessons carry into investing, before closing with his favorite baseball cities and parks, from Wrigley day games to the old Jake in Cleveland and nostalgic nights at Dodger Stadium.

The latest episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday on 104.5 The Zone finds host Doug Matthews reflecting on the evolution of the show and the relentless nature of the college football calendar. Even in the heart of the off-season, the dialogue remains sharp, shifting from the nuances of "talking season" to the critical window where coaches must maximize player potential. Matthews emphasizes that the modern game requires year-round strategic development, moving far beyond just the Saturday kickoff to include the complex administrative and recruiting hurdles coaches face today. Navigating the NIL Era with Dennis Dodd A major highlight of the program is a deep dive with guest Dennis Dodd, who addresses the seismic shifts caused by Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) compensation. Dodd balances the conversation by highlighting the positive aspects of the sport—such as enhanced player safety and high-level competition—while simultaneously advocating for much-needed regulations like eligibility caps. Their discussion paints a realistic picture of a sport in transition, where the pursuit of a competitive edge must now be weighed against the financial and structural sustainability of the college model. Media, Strategy, and Future Outlook The episode rounds out by exploring how media and broadcasting influence the public's perception of the game's landscape. While future guests like Charles Davis are teased to bring further professional insights in upcoming segments, this discussion focuses on the tangible improvements in coaching strategies and the overarching importance of the off-season grind. Ultimately, Matthews and his guests capture the current zeitgeist of college football: a sport grappling with massive change but fueled by a constant drive for excellence on and off the field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the College Football National Championship and NFL Playoffs play out in front of millions of viewers each year, Jason reflects on observations that are relevant for every leader, team and organization. Jason reflects on the powerful lessons that high-stakes sports offer for our own leadership, teams, and organizational health. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: What does it take to transform a historic culture of losing into a national championship powerhouse? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V. Barger extracts profound leadership lessons from the recent "unbelievable" rise of Indiana University football and the resilience displayed in the NFL playoffs. By examining these high-performance environments, Jason identifies the universal reminders every executive and team lead needs to hear to recalibrate their own organizational thermostat. This episode moves beyond the scoreboard to explore the internal mechanics of a winning culture. Jason analyzes how belief acts as a catalyst for change, why mindset is the primary driver of execution under pressure, and how strategic talent evaluation—focusing on proven performance over flashy forecasts—can provide a competitive advantage in any industry. Whether you are leading a Fortune 500 company or a small creative team, these championship reminders offer a roadmap for engaging minds and hearts to achieve the "unbelievable." Essential listening for business leaders and culture-builders, this episode provides a fresh perspective on talent retention, the power of hope in low-trust environments, and the reality that every leader is a work in progress. Episode Notes & Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Jason welcomes listeners and reflects on the necessity of stepping back to "breathe in good oxygen" and calibrate the leadership thermostat. [00:03] The Big Business of Attention: A look at the massive viewership of championship games and why these moments serve as the ultimate classroom for team dynamics. [00:08] The Indiana University Story: Jason breaks down the "unbelievable" 16-0 rise of a program historically known for losing and what it tells us about organizational transformation. [00:10] Reminder #1: The Power of Belief: How Coach Kurt Cignetti shifted a decades-long narrative of defeat by raising expectations and building collective confidence. [00:12] Reminder #2: Mindset and Focus: An exploration of how to shut out "outside noise" and stay relentlessly focused on the present task—because where you look is where you go. [00:15] Reminder #3: Talent Recruitment & Retention: A deep look at the "NIL Era" and why Indiana succeeded by choosing proven, undervalued performers over high-priced, flashy recruits. [00:20] Trust, Hope, and Engagement: Addressing the 10-year low in employee engagement and how leaders can build hope through care, empathy, and authenticity. [00:22] The "Work in Progress" Narrative: Lessons from NFL quarterbacks like Sam Darnold and Brock Purdy on rewriting your story when you've been doubted or deflated. [00:24] Closing Questions: Jason leaves leaders with two critical questions to ponder regarding their own team's development and culture. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Culture as a Competitive Advantage: High-priced talent cannot replace a cohesive culture where people play for each other. Narrative Shifting: To change performance, you must first change the story your team believes about its own potential. Recruitment Strategy: Look for "proven performance" and cultural fit rather than just forecasted potential or flashy credentials. Recalibration: Progress is stimulated when leaders and teams regularly step back to adjust their internal temperature together.

Nemo (Nemanja) Maric, head coach at Hoosac School / ISA (AAA), joins Cory to unpack a true Euro–U.S. hybrid approach to prep school basketball development. Maric shares his journey from Serbia and a 13-year pro career to building a multinational roster under one roof—where 20+ countries train, lift, and study within a system that blends European team concepts (spacing, reads, ball movement) with American individual creativity (one-on-one scoring, athletic standards). He explains why multi-sport participation helps athletes' decision-making and body awareness, how ISA–Hoosac runs open gyms that draw 100+ college programs, and why honest, low-turnover guards who kick out on paint touches translate fastest to college.You'll also hear candid guidance on playing time (earn it), parent communication (player-led first), college placement across D1/D2/D3/JUCO, and the real benefits of NEPSAC AAA competition for exposure and growth. Maric closes with a forward look at NIL-era pipelines, where schools may formalize multi-level systems from prep to college.Families mapping the prep-to-college pathway: this episode delivers clear, practical next steps—no hype, just what actually works.

What happens to college sports when the money runs out for everyone but football and basketball?" In this powerful and timely episode of Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas, Kent welcomes Cody Campbell, Chairman of the Texas Tech Board of Regents, former NFL player, and co-CEO of Double Eagle. Cody shares his front-line perspective on the seismic shifts in college athletics—from NIL deals and media rights to the controversial SCORE Act (HR 4312). As an appointee to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, Cody is helping shape national policy to protect Olympic and women's sports from being sidelined in the rush to monetize college athletics.
