Sometimes the best tournaments are the ones nobody sees coming. When forecast conditions made the Swan River unfishable, Hobie made the bold decision to relocate the event to Scamander at the last minute. It meant weeks of preparation instantly became irrelevant. Competitors who had travelled from around Australia suddenly found themselves launching on a river many had never seen before, with no pre-fish, no established game plans and no local knowledge to rely on. What followed was one of the most fascinating tournaments of the season. In EP215, Andrew Death sits down with Joel Crosbie, Michael Alexander and tournament winner Evan Leonard to unpack exactly how the event unfolded and why adapting quickly proved far more important than having the perfect plan. Joel Crosbie explains how he deliberately targeted the roughest, windiest banks on the river, believing other competitors would avoid them. Fishing soft plastics through timber, steep drop-offs and scattered structure, Joel trusted his strengths and pieced together another incredibly consistent tournament, finishing just 60 grams behind the podium for the second Hobie event in a row. Tasmanian local Michael Alexander reveals how a simple pattern fishing rocky shorelines with a combination of ZipBaits Rigge 70SP hardbodies and soft plastics produced a third-place finish. After an early mechanical issue with his Hobie seat threatened to derail his tournament, Michael adapted on the fly, kept covering productive water and found the late upgrades he needed to secure a podium finish. Tournament winner Evan Leonard shares the mindset behind one of the most disciplined wins you'll hear about. While much of the field searched the river for active fish, Evan committed almost the entire tournament to fishing a handful of bridge pylons near the mouth. Carefully rotating between concrete structure, making precise casts with soft plastics and trusting his game plan, he put together a superb 5.74 kg winning limit and claimed the Anaconda Big Bream with a fish weighing 1.22 kg. Throughout the episode you'll hear practical discussions on reading unfamiliar water, positioning kayaks in difficult wind, choosing between structure and open water, selecting jighead weights, fishing bridge pylons effectively, working soft plastics through timber, and why confidence in your own strengths often outweighs constantly changing tactics. If you've ever arrived at a tournament—or even your local river—without knowing where to start, this episode is full of lessons that will help you make better decisions under pressure.

Motivation runs out by Tuesday. Discipline built on who you are does not. That is the whole conversation.Pauly Domenech is a mindset and performance coach with Glover U who sold 100+ homes a year for seven years. In this episode we get into the real estate agent mindset behind that number: why motivation is fleeting, how discipline actually comes from identity and character, the morning routine that runs his day, and the listing audit that moved his team from $400K to $4.3M in GCI in one month. Then he tells the story of going through a minivan windshield training for his first Ironman, and finishing the race 28 days later.IN THIS EPISODE- Why motivation is fleeting and discipline comes from character- The sneaky sheets and the night-before routine that runs his day- The listing audit that went from $400K to $4.3M in one month- Leading the man in the mirror first- The bike crash, the Ironman 28 days later, and "because you can, you must"KEY TAKEAWAYS- Discipline is not a long grind. It is one decision made in the moment, over and over.- Reverse-engineer your bedtime from your morning. Subtract what wastes your evening instead of adding willpower.- Audit your listings. Have the price-reduction conversation or let the listing go. Get the no to no.- You have no right to lead anyone until you can lead the person in the mirror.- If you can do the hard thing, you must.ABOUT PAULYPaul "Pauly" Domenech is a mindset and performance coach with Glover U, based in Destin, Florida.

Welcome to Brother Mike’s silver anniversary year on the radio! In this hard-hitting episode, we dive into the familiar story of the Rich Young Ruler. By all accounts, he was a good person—wealthy, law-abiding, and God-fearing. Yet, he walked away from eternity in deep depression. Why? Breaking down the original Greek text, Brother Mike exposes that this young man’s true "cross" was greed (philargyria—the emotional affection for money). When Jesus commanded him to pick up and get rid of it (airo), his soul tanked because he was too fond of his comfortable lifestyle. This message isn't just an ancient history lesson; it's a wake-up call for the modern believer. Brother Mike challenges us to look closely at our own lives. In a world where distractions, debts, and material affections constantly compete for our attention—and with time running out—are you ready to stop looking back, throw off your secret weights, and truly follow Christ? Scripture & Highlights Mentioned in This Episode The Blueprint for Salvation: A wealthy young man kneels before Jesus, looking for the checklist to inherit eternal life (Mark 10:17-19). The Missing Element: Jesus looks at the young man with active love (agapao) and targets the one hidden idol ruining his soul (Mark 10:20-22). The Wealth Barrier: Why an unhealthy emotional attachment to riches makes entering the Kingdom of God incredibly difficult (Mark 10:23). No Excuses, No Looking Back: Looking at the radical demands of Christ and why comfort, convenience, and human obligations cannot come before the Kingdom (Luke 9:57-62).

Bradley Henderson built a company that bridges the field-office gap in construction, but the story of how he got there is the one worth hearing. Plumb Line Operations founder and field worker advocate Bradley Henderson joins Jesse to talk about the personal cost of traveling construction work, what addiction and prison taught him about radical ownership, and why he now builds a "second chance" lane connecting skilled workers with structured employers. Jesse opens up about his own 10 years of sobriety as the two get honest about the long road from victim mentality to accountability and what it really looks like to make amends and turn your worst chapter into your purpose.00:00 Turning Pain Into Magic00:14 Meet Bradley Henderson01:34 The Toll of Travel Work04:31 LinkedIn Style and Accountability05:37 Addiction Prison and Ownership07:52 Sobriety and Compounding Change11:47 Shoutout and Viktor Frankl Lesson14:14 Owning Mistakes in the Field16:04 Rebuilding After a Record19:49 From Manipulation to Influence22:02 Rehab Story and Shame Release24:28 Sharing the Shame24:52 Why the Rooms Work26:30 Turning Pain Into Help27:27 Owing It Forward28:57 Making Amends for Real35:03 Gratitude and Second Chances36:42 Building a Coaching Calling38:02 Second Chance Workforce PlanLets leave the Construction Industry Better than We Found It https://www.depthbuilder.com/construction-leadership-lab Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

In this final episode of our Daughters series, we're diving into the story of Priscilla—a woman whose life reminds us that God loves to use ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Even though Priscilla doesn't have a single, linear story in Scripture, her impact on the early church is impossible to miss. Alongside her husband Aquila, she modeled faithful partnership, discipleship, hospitality, and unwavering commitment to God's mission. We talk about what it looks like to build the Kingdom alongside other people, why discipleship often happens around dinner tables and in everyday conversations, and how God uses His daughters to make an eternal impact. As we close out this entire series, we reflect on the beautiful truth that we are deeply loved daughters of God, living in light of the resurrection and empowered to share the hope of Jesus wherever He places us.

Everyone comes into this world with a unique set of circumstances. Some people are blessed to grow up in homes filled with love, encouragement, and great role models. Others, however, face challenges right from the beginning. They grow up in difficult environments, experience hardships, and lack the opportunities that other people had. It's so easy for a person to look at his background and feel that he was placed at a disadvantage. He may think, "If only I had grown up differently, I would have been able to accomplish so much more." But that is not the way Hashem wants us to view it. Hashem does not judge people based on where they started. He judges them based on what they did with the circumstances He gave them. Every person is sent into the exact situation that he needs to fulfill his mission here. The challenges are not there to prevent him from succeeding. They are there to help him reach a level of greatness that could not have been achieved any other way. Imagine two people climbing a mountain. One begins halfway up while the other starts from the bottom. The one who started lower has a much harder climb. But when he reaches the top, his accomplishment is far greater because he had to overcome so much more to get there. The same is true in our spirituality. Someone who had to struggle against negative influences or painful experiences is not at a disadvantage. It's just the opposite. Every step forward in his life is worth so much more because of what it took to achieve it. So many of the greatest people who ever lived overcame tremendous obstacles. Their greatness was not despite their challenges; it was because of them. The very difficulties that could have been used as excuses became the tools through which they rose to the greatest heights. While it is true that some people begin life with very big disadvantages, our rabbis teach us that our circumstances do not determine our destiny. They merely determine the nature of our test. The Torah tells us about the Megadef, the blasphemer. Chazal explained that he was born into a very difficult situation. His father was an Egyptian and his mother was a yatzanit, someone who would speak to everyone in the marketplace, including men. He was not accepted by society. He never felt that he belonged anywhere. He hoped that at least when he came before Moshe Rabbeinu, he would finally be accepted. However, when the matter was brought before the Beit Din of Moshe, it was ruled that he would not be allowed to camp among Shevet Dan because the tribes followed the father, and his father was a goy. Therefore, he did not have a tribe. He left the Beit Din disappointed and rejected, and from there he deteriorated until eventually he blasphemed Hashem. Looking at his life, a person might say, "How could he not become bitter? Look at what he went through. Nobody wanted him. Nobody accepted him. Under his circumstances, it's understandable." However, perhaps one of the reasons the Torah records this incident is to teach us the opposite lesson. Although his circumstances were difficult, he still had a choice. His background only explained his struggle, but it did not excuse his actions. The Ishbitzer Rebbe contrasted the Megadef with David HaMelech. David also grew up feeling rejected. Chazal tell us that his own family did not recognize him. His father looked at him differently than all his other sons, and his brothers looked down upon him. Even when he rose to greatness, Shaul HaMelech tried to kill him. He was forced to run from place to place. Even after becoming king, his suffering did not end. His own son Avshalom rebelled against him and tried to kill him. David could have spent his life asking, "Hashem, why did You put me in such a world? Why am I facing so much rejection and pain?" But instead, whenever David faced hardship, he turned to Hashem. Whenever he felt alone, he picked up his kinor and sang songs to Hashem. While he was running for his life, he sang to Hashem. When he was betrayed, humiliated, and attacked, he sang to Hashem. Those songs became Sefer Tehillim. The very pain that could have destroyed him became the source of his greatness. The very hardships that could have filled him with bitterness became the inspiration for some of the most beautiful words in all of Tanach. The difference between the Megadef and David HaMelech was not their circumstances. Both experienced rejection. Both experienced pain. Both had reasons to feel hurt by the world around them. The difference was in the choice they made in response. One allowed his hardships to push him away from Hashem, while the other allowed his hardships to bring him closer to Hashem. Every person faces challenges that are unique to him. Some begin life with advantages, while others face obstacles that seem overwhelming. Our greatness will not be determined by where we started. It will be determined by what we did with what we were given. The more difficult the challenge, the greater is the potential for greatness. Someone who overcomes very big obstacles can reach heights that others may never attain. When a person refuses to use his background as an excuse and instead uses it as a springboard for growth, he transforms his struggles into achievements. Nobody chooses the circumstances into which he is born, but everyone can choose how he responds to them.

The Knicks are staring at a massive opportunity, and the pressure around this playoff run is impossible to ignore. With home court advantage, a rested roster, and a core built to win now, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether failing to beat Cleveland would be one of the most painful missed chances in franchise history. The conversation also turns to the Yankees' offensive concerns behind the plate, the Mets leaning into a youth movement out of both promise and necessity, and whether a trip to Cleveland might actually be the cheaper way for Knicks fans to see the series. Evan and Tiki mix big picture stakes with classic New York sports debate as they weigh what this moment could mean for the Knicks and the city.

Bomani Jones reacts to a wild NBA playoff weekend as the Celtics' season ends, the Nuggets' championship window gets a lot more complicated, and the New York Knicks suddenly have no excuse not to win the East. Bo breaks down why Boston may no longer be the same team that won the title, what Jason Tatum's injury means for the Celtics going forward, and why the margins have gotten so tight for recent NBA champions. Then, he looks at Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets' playoff exit, and why the backlash to Denver says as much about NBA discourse as it does about Jokic himself. Plus, Bomani explains why the Knicks should now be viewed as the favorite in the East, why Madison Square Garden is facing its biggest basketball pressure in decades, and why New York fans are right to expect this team to get it done. He also discusses his viral clip discussing The Wire vs. The Sopranos, the return of Verzuz and takes more of your voicemails! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
