Podcasts about No Shortcuts

In this powerful, raw, and deeply honest episode of Sunday Night Teacher Talk, I sit down with one of my teacher heroes—Rafe Esquith, legendary educator and founder of The Hobart Shakespeareans. Rafe opens up about how he went from struggling in the classroom to building one of the most extraordinary programs in public education history.We talk about:The power of slow growth in teachingWhy student buy-in takes time—and patienceHow to build classroom culture that changes livesWhy some of the best teaching comes from anger at injusticeThe importance of empathy, joy, and real-world purpose in educationAnd why “there are no shortcuts” is more than a classroom rule—it's a way of lifeYou'll also hear about Rafe's personal relationship with Sir Ian McKellen, how he avoided burnout for over 35 years, and why “being the person you want your students to become” is the most essential rule of all.Whether you're a first-year teacher or a seasoned educator, this episode is a masterclass in heart, honesty, and what it really takes to transform students' lives—especially when the world underestimates them.The Odyssey Home-End-Of-Year Classroom Experience: https://www.shopteachyourclassoff.com/products/the-odyssey-home-end-of-year-classroom-experience

EP. 212: Today I'm joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, obesity specialist, Lipidologist, and founder of Vineyard, a cutting-edge direct care platform. We're diving deep into the conversation you've been asking for: the real story behind GLP-1s, obesity as a chronic disease, and why treating it goes far beyond weight loss. We break down everything from proper dosing, common side effects, and the dangers of vanity prescribing to the systemic issues with telemedicine and PBMs. Dr. Nadolsky and I also discuss strength training, preserving muscle mass, and how GLP-1s may support metabolic and cardiovascular health beyond their FDA indications. This episode cuts through the noise and misinformation. If you care about metabolic health, this one's essential. Topics Discussed:  What are the real benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss? Is obesity truly a chronic disease, and how should it be treated? What are the risks of GLP-1 vanity dosing and fast titration? How do GLP-1s impact muscle mass and metabolic health? Why are telemedicine and PBMs problematic for obesity treatment?

Meet the Dertners: Part TwoTomas finishes the story from the last video about speaking with 13 Rabbis. Their first reaction to hearing about Jesus was, they covered their ears. But the person, who really benefited from Tomas' report about that meeting, was his sister.The Dertners have a unique way of explaining what it means to be a Christian and why many people reject the typical gospel message. They are afraid of getting stuck in a box, that the traditions of church denominations, tend to put people in. Tomas said there is a difference, from being rebellious, and being a free thinker or authentic. Lots of food for thought in this conversation!

Quint and Allie wrap up our series with how to avoid the temptation of taking shortcuts.

Tune in live to this episode discussing why shortcuts aren't effective in creating quality content.

We've been in enough conversations to know when something clicks. This one did — and it did from the very first moment.In our debut Brand Story with White Knight Labs, we sat down with co-founders John Stigerwalt and Greg Hatcher, and what unfolded was more than a company intro — it was a behind-the-scenes look at what offensive security should be.John's journey is the kind that earns your respect quickly: he started at the help desk and worked his way to CISO, before pivoting into red teaming and co-founding WKL. Greg's path was more unconventional — from orchestral musician to Green Beret to cybersecurity leader. Two very different stories, but a shared philosophy: learn by doing, adapt without a manual, and never take the easy route when something meaningful is on the table.That mindset now defines how White Knight Labs works with clients. They don't sell cookie-cutter pen tests. Instead, they ask the right question up front: How does your business make money? Because if you can answer that, you can identify what a real-world attacker would go after. Then they simulate it — not in theory, but in practice.Their ransomware simulation service is a perfect example. They don't just show up with a scanner. They emulate modern adversaries using Cobalt Strike, bypassing endpoint defenses with in-house payloads, encrypting and exfiltrating data like it's just another Tuesday. Most clients fail the test — not because they're careless, but because most simulations aren't this real.And that's the point.White Knight Labs isn't here to help companies check a box. They're here to expose the gaps and raise the bar — because real threats don't play fair, and security shouldn't pretend they do.What makes them different is what they don't do. They're not an all-in-one shop, and they're proud of that. They won't touch IR for major breaches — they've got partners for that. They only resell hardware and software they've personally vetted. That honesty builds credibility. That kind of focus builds trust.Their training programs are just as intense. Between live DEF CON courses and their online platform, they're giving both new and experienced professionals a chance to train the way they operate: no shortcuts, no watered-down certs, just hard-earned skills that translate into real-world readiness.Pass their ODPC certification, and you'll probably get a call — not because they need to check a hiring box, but because it proves you're serious. And if you can write loaders that bypass real defenses? You're speaking their language.This first conversation with John and Greg reminded us why we started this series in the first place. It's not just about product features or service offerings — it's about people who live and breathe what they do, and who bring that passion into every test, every client call, and every training they offer.We've got more stories with them on the way. But if this first one is any sign of what's to come, we're in for something special.⸻Learn more about White Knight Labs: Guests:John Stigerwalt | Founder at White Knight Labs | Red Team Operations Leader | https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-stigerwalt-90a9b4110/Greg Hatcher | Founder at White Knight Labs | SOF veteran | Red Team | https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryhatcher2/White Knight Labs Website | https://itspm.ag/white-knight-labs-vukr______________________Keywords: penetration testing, red team, ransomware simulation, offensive security, EDR bypass, cybersecurity training, White Knight Labs, advanced persistent threat, cybersecurity startup, DEF CON training, security partnerships, cybersecurity services______________________ResourcesVisit the White Knight Labs Website to learn more: https://itspm.ag/white-knight-labs-vukrLearn more and catch more stories from White Knight Labs on ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/white-knight-labsLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the ninety-eighth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience. Hosted by the Task Force Senior for the TF-1 (IN BN), LTC Charles “Chuck” Wall on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the First Sergeant for Headquarters and Headquarters Company of Operations Group, 1SG Will Pogue. 1SG Pogue was previously a Company Team First Sergeant Observer-Coach-Trainer at the JRTC.   In this episode, we focus on warfighting fundamentals at the team through platoon level during large-scale combat operations (LSCO), emphasizing the gap between familiarity and true proficiency. A central issue discussed is how units often rush through collective training gates without ensuring mastery of basic tasks. This “check-the-box” mentality results in units arriving at the JRTC underprepared, especially when it comes to troop leading procedures (TLPs), indirect fire integration, support-by-fire shifts and lifts, and graphic control measures. The lack of unit-wide standard operating procedures (SOPs) and insufficient repetitions in home-station training were identified as key friction points. Best practices emphasized include deliberate, planned retraining windows; leader certification on SOPs; and daily reinforcement of team through company-level standards—especially through structured sergeant's time training.   Another focal point is the inconsistency within and across units when it comes to weapons squad performance, patrol base occupation, and movement to contact. The discussion notes that some platoons within a company display exceptional coordination and fire discipline, while others show significant knowledge gaps. The causes include high leader turnover, lack of doctrinal grounding, and insufficient focus on junior NCO development. Recommendations include certifying leaders before executing training, embedding retraining as a standard step in the 8-step training model, and reinforcing collective standards through battalion-wide forums or training events. The episode closes with a reminder that excellence in LSCO starts with discipline in the fundamentals—fieldcraft, communication, tactical planning, and leadership—and that repeated, standards-based training at home-station is the only path to achieving real warfighting proficiency.   Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

They kick off talking about Tarina's pajamas and Nic's shaved head. Elle has told Nic to grow out his hair for the wedding. In this episode they dig into Chapter 27: Invest the Time from Know This Do That. Nic and Tarina talk about how good things—like a career or rearing kids—takes time and patience. The opposite is also true: too much time spent on the wrong things create a problem if we let it. Where you invest your time and how you invest your time determines your ultimate success.Stay the course. Stick it out. Building a career means building a reputation and a good reputation fuels more significant relationships. Doors will open. As some have said, “The overnight success story is 10 years in the making.” And it might take 20 years. This is not an easy path—a better life awaits those who put in the work, sweat, and tears. A better life is the result of heartache, wins, and losses. The nonnegotiable is to invest. And the one thing we all have is time. Keep on keeping on to make the return you desire. There's magic in the struggle. “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.” (G. Michael Hoff)If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

This week on the show Kathryn catches up with Crystal Anthony a few days ahead of her recent 9th place finish at the Leadville 100. The Bentonville-based athlete grew up in a cycling family, but first set her competitive sights on collegiate running.

She has now been with the Liv team for seven years, and is consistently cracking the top 10 in the Life Time Grand Prix. Before committing to racing full time, Anthony was a middle school teacher for 12 years. She has maintained her love of teaching, and now gives back to the sport as a cycling coach.

In this episode, we dive into the importance of accountability, sharing a personal story from the gym about how a small push made all the difference. Who's holding you accountable for the little details? Remember, when you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. This is your reminder to embrace accountability and aim for excellence in every area of life. You Got This,  Ryan

We are back to our regular program! This week on the show Kathryn catches up with Crystal Anthony a few days ahead of her recent 9th place finish at the Leadville 100. The Bentonville-based athlete grew up in a cycling family, but first set her competitive sights on collegiate running. After missing out on an Olympic marathon qualification by a handful of seconds, Crystal decided to shift her focus to triathlon which eventually led her to cyclocross and then gravel racing. She has now been with the Liv team for seven years, and is consistently cracking the top 10 in the Life Time Grand Prix. Before committing to racing full time, Anthony was a middle school teacher for 12 years. She has maintained her love of teaching, and now gives back to the sport as a cycling coach. This coming year she will be running gravel camps with fellow Bentonviller, Paige Onweller. You can learn more about these camps and Crystal's coaching on her website www.crystaljanthony.com Follow Crystal on Instagram @crystaljanthony
