In this episode, we mark five years of The ACL Athlete Podcast by doing something I almost let pass entirely: sitting down with no agenda, and saying the things that have never quite been said clearly enough. We open with a message from a listener that stopped me in my tracks, shares what it actually cost me to go through two ACL tears, and then walks through five lessons that apply just as much to your knee as they do to your life. From why consistency in the hard moments is the whole game, to how asking for help is one of the highest leverage decisions you will ever make, to why fear does not need to leave the room before you take action, this episode is a reminder that the ACL process is not just physical. It is mental and emotional. If you are in the middle of it, just finished PT, watching your kid go through it, or a clinician trying to do better work for your athletes, this one was made for you.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

HR2 - Besides winning Falcons objective is figuring out if Michael Penix is franchise QB In hour two Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, continue to react to the news that the Atlanta Falcons have reportedly informed wide receiver and former Pro-Bowl special teams player KhaDarel Hodge that they are releasing him, continue to react to NFL Analyst for ESPN Louis Riddick talking about how he doesn't think Atlanta Falcons President of Football Matt Ryan will go into next season without a fully healthy quarterback, Riddick saying he thinks the Falcons will make a big move at quarterback this offseason, and explain why they think commentary on Michael Penix Jr. from national NFL insiders and reporters doesn't hold much weight right now. Mike, Ali, and Beau hit the halftime portion of the show and test their knowledge with some Throwback Thursday Trivia, and then close out hour two by reacting to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle!

Send a textThere's an old saying: “He who has an argument is always at the mercy of the one who has had an experience.” And that's true. When Christ has changed your life, someone else's argument doesn't carry much weight. It's perfectly valid to appeal to your experience—up to a point. But there's also a weakness in relying on experience alone.  Experience can be misunderstood. It can be misinterpreted. And it can even be counterfeited. So, if we're going to truly prove what we believe, we need something more solid than our own story. That's exactly the situation Paul faced with the Galatians. False teachers had come along after he left and told these young believers that faith in Christ wasn't enough—that they needed to keep the law to be saved.  So, Paul wrote the letter we call Galatians to set the record straight: salvation is by grace through faith, apart from the works of the law.  And that's what we're going to explore today: the objective proof of the gospel, the unchanging foundation that salvation is by grace through faith.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.

Send a textThis week's enterprise software announcements reflect a broad, coordinated push toward AI-native experiences layered across collaboration, operations, finance, and core business platforms. Salesforce's latest version of Slack, Oracle's role-based AI agents for Fusion Cloud, and SAP's extension of its business suite all signal that hyperscalers are embedding AI directly into day-to-day workflows rather than positioning it as a standalone add-on. In parallel, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop extend this trend into customer experience and contact center operations, while Kantata's new AI platform targets the specialized needs of professional services firms. NetSuite's “Next” roadmap reinforces Oracle's mid-market modernization strategy, and ScienceLogic's reimagined applications highlight how observability and IT operations are also being reshaped by AI-first design principles. Rounding out the picture, Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution underscores growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations, while Sage's acquisition of Criterion signals continued consolidation in the HCM space—together illustrating a market that is rapidly standardizing on AI-driven interaction layers even as vendors compete to redefine their category boundaries.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5FOS9QamYQuestions for Panelists?

Phil Svitek draws a hard line between subjective taste and objective deliverables. Whether it's a 30-second commercial, character limits, missing required text on a graphic, or word/page counts—he explains why blowing objective parameters kills trust fast, even before anyone judges the “quality” of the work.

Most gyms are not struggling with ads, they're struggling with the wrong ad strategy. Clear goals, clean tracking, and stronger lead filters change everything.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn this episode, Blake Ruff breaks down how boutique gyms can run more effective ad campaigns by setting the right goals from the start, explaining why awareness ads often fall short for most studios, why lead ads typically produce stronger outcomes, and how tools like SMS verification and proper pixel setup help improve both tracking accuracy and lead quality while using website and instant forms to better pre-qualify prospects.Episode OutlineSetting clear objectives for ad campaignsDifferences between awareness, leads, purchases, and conversionsWhy awareness ads are usually inefficient for smaller budgetsRecommended monthly budget range for lead adsHow SMS verification improves lead qualityTurning off autofill to reduce low-intent submissionsWebsite forms vs. instant forms for pre-qualificationImportance of correct pixel installation and trackingUsing retargeting and audience narrowingReal campaign data and cost-per-appointment insightsUsing conditional questions to filter leadsEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Setting Up Ad Campaigns: Goals and Objectives03:13 Optimizing Ad Campaigns for Different Budgets05:13 Improving Lead Quality and Campaign Setup06:51 Advanced Ad Campaign Strategies08:54 Data-Driven Ad Campaign Insights11:24 Final Tips and RecommendationsAction TakenRecord and publish a dedicated deep dive on lead ads and lead qualityComplete testing of the new campaign methodShare data-backed results in a follow-up releaseConclusionStrong ad performance starts with clear goals and clean data.

In Mark 14:1–11, we see a striking contrast between calculated betrayal and wholehearted devotion. While others measure what Jesus is worth to them, Mary pours out her most valuable possession in worship, showing that Christ's worth isn't relative—it's objective. Is our worship cautious and measured, or surrendered in response to His infinite worth?

In dieser Folge diskutieren zwei OKR-Expertinnen die Fragen, die man nicht mal eben googeln kann: Braucht ein gutes Objective wirklich eine Zahl? Warum funktionieren OKR-Weeklys oft anders als gedacht? Und was steckt wirklich hinter dem Hype um Moonshots? Statt schneller Antworten geht es um die Graubereiche: um Entscheidungen im Alltag, um unterschiedliche Sichtweisen – und um die Punkte, an denen OKR in der Praxis herausfordernder ist, als es in der Theorie scheint. Eine Folge für alle, die OKR nicht nur „anwenden“, sondern besser verstehen wollen – mit allem, was dazugehört.

El periodista Pelayo Barro repasa todas las informaciones sobre la actuación del Gobierno con respecto a Pegasus y el pinchazo del móvil de Sánchez El periodista Pelayo Barro ha sacado a la luz nuevas claves sobre el manejo que el Gobierno hizo de la crisis de Pegasus. Según su investigación, la inteligencia española cumplió con su labor de advertencia ante el riesgo de espionaje, pero sus conclusiones no fueron tomadas en cuenta por el entorno del presidente. La revelación principal de Barro es tajante: "El CNI alertó a Moncloa, pero lo desoyó".Alertas ignoradas y terminales comprometidos La información desvelada apunta a que existieron avisos técnicos previos al pinchazo del teléfono de Pedro Sánchez. Sin embargo, la falta de acción por parte del complejo gubernamental provocó que el software espía campara a sus anchas por los dispositivos de los altos cargos. De hecho, Barro describe de forma muy gráfica el nivel de infiltración que se encontró cuando finalmente se realizaron las inspecciones, asegurando que, en aquel momento de crisis, "había móviles infectados hasta en la cocina". Este escenario de vulnerabilidad masiva afectó no solo al presidente, sino a varios ministros, en lo que el periodista califica como una falta de diligencia por parte de quienes debían proteger las comunicaciones del Estado.El caos de los "falsos positivos" Otro de los puntos clave de la información aportada por Pelayo Barro tiene que ver con la gestión posterior de los terminales. Según el periodista, tras el pánico inicial, se produjo un descontrol en las detecciones de espionaje. Barro revela que se llegaron a dar por infectados teléfonos que en realidad no lo estaban, señalando que "el terminal de octubre de 2020 de Sánchez fue un falso positivo". Esta cadena de errores y advertencias desatendidas pone en entredicho la versión oficial ofrecida hasta ahora por el Gobierno. Según el periodista, mientras el organismo de inteligencia hacía su trabajo, la dirección política decidió mirar hacia otro lado, permitiendo que la intrusión se consumara a pesar de que "el CNI alertó a Moncloa, pero lo desoyó".

Fresh off releasing one of the most beautiful hardcover books we've ever seen, Paul Millerd returns alongside Infinite Books CEO Jimmy Soni for a deep dive into the broken incentives of traditional publishing, why the industry breeds "cynicism at scale," and how the internet is powering a second Renaissance for creators. We get into what it means to build a creative life on your own terms, the Taoist approach to growing an audience, how to navigate financial uncertainty while raising a family, and why seemingly boring daily routines fuel extraordinary creative work. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode, we unpack a big misconception in ACL rehab: the belief that if PT feels hard, it must be working. We break down why sweat, fatigue, and high heart rates don't automatically equal progress, especially when your knee is swollen or stiff the next day. We dive into the difference between capacity and tolerance, explain why excessive plyometric volume can quietly stall recovery, and outline what intentional, criteria-driven rehab actually looks like. If you've ever walked out of a session exhausted but unsure if you're truly moving forward, this episode will help you rethink what “good rehab” really means.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

In the thrilling conclusion of the RPGBOT.Pulp Cthulhu Actual Play, our heroes discover that Luck points are real, sanity is optional, and jetpacks are — scientifically speaking — extremely explosive plot devices. Bjorn steals the Necronomicon with telekinesis, Murray forgets who he is, everyone falls in love with the villain thanks to eldritch karaoke mind control, and the final boss fight is resolved using the timeless tactical doctrine of: "What if we shot the jetpack?" Featuring heroic sacrifice, catastrophic math, spontaneous dismemberment, and a helicopter extraction that arrives precisely when pulp cinema demands it — this episode delivers the important lesson that Call of Cthulhu isn't about surviving intact. It's about surviving spectacularly. Show Notes The finale opens with table banter and a brief plug for ongoing Pulp Cthulhu play opportunities before the Keeper resets the stage and reviews key mechanics — including luck recovery, spending luck for survival, and sanity system nuances. The players regain luck and receive a reminder of how it can modify rolls, negate damage, or even prevent death — rules that soon prove critical. A sanity check against newly transformed ghast enemies immediately escalates tension. Randall's character loses significant sanity and enters a bout of insanity, gaining amnesia and temporarily forgetting context and equipment while acquiring an "insane talent" that grants unusual resilience to pain. This mechanical disruption reinforces Call of Cthulhu's psychological stakes and introduces roleplay chaos at the outset of combat. Combat begins in the ritual chamber where Scarlet Arachnus attempts to complete her summoning. Gunfire exchanges with the ghasts while Arachnus deflects harm through magic. Randall lands a devastating critical hit on one creature, while Tyler pivots toward objective play — targeting the ritual itself. The Necronomicon becomes the center of the encounter as telekinesis is used to wrest control of the artifact from the villain, disrupting her casting momentum. The encounter spikes in complexity when Arachnus unleashes Siren Song, charming allies and nearly turning the party against itself. Iowa succumbs completely, while Tyler resists. Surrounded and nearly dead, Tyler resorts to a desperate solution — coordinating with Randall's jetpack maneuver. The resulting detonation obliterates Arachnus and the ghasts, collapses magical support sustaining the enemies, and nearly kills the party in the process. Randall survives only by spending luck to avoid certain death. After the blast, the ritual collapses, the remaining threats dissolve, and the survivors secure the artifact. Extraction arrives via helicopter — a fitting pulp cinematic conclusion — as the buried ruins vanish beneath the sand, ensuring their secrets remain hidden. The episode closes with post-session reflections on system feel and character impact, cementing the adventure as a chaotic but successful demonstration of Pulp Cthulhu's tone and mechanics. Key Takeaways Luck mechanics are central survival tools and dramatically influence outcomes Sanity loss meaningfully alters gameplay through narrative and mechanical disruption Insanity effects can produce both hindrance and unexpected advantages Objective-focused play (stealing the artifact) can end encounters faster than damage trading Mind-control effects reinforce Mythos horror stakes beyond physical threats Pulp tone encourages cinematic risk and heroic sacrifice Improvisation and environment use can resolve otherwise lethal encounters Narrative pacing culminates in high-stakes chaos followed by cinematic resolution Actual Play effectively demonstrates mechanics through emergent storytelling The finale showcases how Call of Cthulhu balances horror tension with pulp heroics Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Interior pone protección a la inspectora que ha denunciado por agresión sexual al ex-DAO; Zapatero pierde a su hombre clave en la Policía en el cénit de la investigación de Plus Ultra; La policía británica detiene al expríncipe Andrés por «mala conducta» en cargo público; y Oriol Cardona y Ana Alonso firman la jornada más histórica del olimpismo español de invierno.Todo esto se lo contamos en una nueva edición de Sumario de tarde, el podcast diario de THE OBJECTIVE. Dirige el espacio, Luis Rafael.

Alejandro Entrambasaguas (Madrid, 1998) siempre llega puntual, como sus informaciones, y así fue cuando llegó a la redacción de THE OBJECTIVE. A sus 28 años, el jefe de investigación de El Debate se ha convertido en un azote del poder, un periodista que prefiere el asfalto de la calle al confort del escritorio. En esta charla, el autor de libros como La Sagrada Familia reivindica la vigencia de una profesión que no se limita a transcribir autos judiciales, sino que se arriesga a desenterrar aquello que los protagonistas de la actualidad preferirían mantener bajo llave.Un podcast de THE OBJECTIVE

Send a textThis week's enterprise software developments underscore a widening gap between rapid AI-driven platform innovation and the unresolved execution risks embedded in large-scale ERP programs. On one side of the ledger, Mendix and OutSystems both advanced their agentic AI roadmaps with new releases aimed at operationalizing autonomous workflows, while ServiceNow's unveiling of its AI Experience, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities, and Braze's product enhancements at Forge 2025 reinforce how aggressively vendors across ITSM, CX, and marketing automation are repositioning around AI-first interaction layers. Salesforce's latest Slack updates and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop further extend this trend into collaboration and contact center operations, signaling that AI augmentation is now table stakes across front-office and service environments. In parallel, Plex's expanded connected worker integrations highlight how these same concepts are being pushed into manufacturing execution and workforce enablement, while Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution reflects growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations. Yet this innovation narrative is tempered by Daedong USA's loss of an injunction in its ERP dispute—placing its $11.4 billion suit in jeopardy—which serves as a reminder that beneath the AI acceleration, legacy implementation failures, legal exposure, and governance breakdowns continue to create material risk for enterprises betting on large transformation programs.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Arr9GjwOBsQuestions for Panelists?

We tackle the classic Beatles album "Revolver", going track by track. Can we be objective when discussing the most influential band of all time?!?!

The dance of wood rising (masculine) and ether (feminine) begings to emerge as the exchange between northern and southern hemisphere flips once more. The wood is offering new beginnings, ether clearing the lines of communication. Balancing the preamble for the dynamic reunion of the masculine and feminine. Leading you to inner and outer peace, joy and love. The regenerative and continuous exchange of oxygen between all breathing organisms is the integral reflection of the delicate dance that sustains life. As the dawn of the new era emerges, tolerance coupled with patience with self and others will support each and of you as you find your true north.

Growth is hard. Growth inside a family enterprise is harder. Because in a family business, every strategic decision carries emotional weight. Every acquisition, every hiring choice, every leadership disagreement touches not just the company — but the relationships that built it. That's where family business governance becomes the difference between sustainable growth and generational fracture. In Episode 127 of The Family Biz Show, Christina Armentano, third-generation leader of Paraco Gas Corporation, shares what it really takes to grow a multi-location energy company without breaking the family behind it. Her insights reveal that family business governance isn't theory. It's daily discipline.   The Founder's Grit Is Not a Governance Strategy Christina's grandfather was born in 1929, the year of the Great Depression. He didn't finish grade school. He started working young. He built the company through charisma, salesmanship, and relentless drive. That founder grit built the foundation. But grit alone doesn't sustain three generations. As family enterprises mature, family business governance must evolve beyond personality and instinct. What works for a founder rarely scales to siblings, cousins, and future generations. Growth demands structure.   Why Outside Experience Strengthens Family Business Governance Christina didn't step directly into the family company. She spent nearly a decade outside the business: Executive search MBA Internship at the largest propane company in the U.S. Turned down multiple early opportunities to join Why? Because strong family business governance requires competence, not entitlement. When next-generation leaders build experience elsewhere, they return with: Credibility Financial discipline Confidence Perspective Governance begins with earned authority.   Two Roles. One Discipline. One of the most powerful lessons in this episode: "You have your shareholder role and then you have your employee role. Those are two very separate roles." This distinction is the heart of effective family business governance. Ownership thinks long-term. Employees execute short-term. Shareholders protect capital. Employees protect performance. When these roles blur, conflict accelerates. When they're clearly defined, growth stabilizes.   Communication Is the Engine of Family Business Governance Christina shares her grandfather's advice: "Do right by the business and the business will do right by you." That statement reflects mature family business governance thinking. Open lines of communication. Business lens over personal lens. Disagreements that are never personal. Clear separation between family emotion and enterprise decision-making. Without disciplined communication, growth becomes personal. With governance, growth becomes strategic.   Acquisition Growth Without Governance Is Dangerous Paraco has completed more than 60 acquisitions. That kind of expansion requires structured family business governance. Christina breaks acquisitions into two stages: Due diligence Transition Strong governance means: Written checklists Clear deal leadership Objective financial review Emotional detachment from transactions Written transition plans Ego left at the door One critical lesson: retain what you have first. Retention is governance. Foundation is governance. Infrastructure before scale is governance. Without disciplined family business governance, acquisition momentum becomes chaos.   Selling a Business Requires Governance Discipline Too Christina emphasizes something most owners overlook: "The deal is never done until the deal is done." During a sale process, owners must continue running the business as if no deal exists. Why? Because strong family business governance protects optionality. If performance slips, leverage disappears. If emotion rises, valuation suffers. If the owner becomes dependent on the deal, negotiating power evaporates. Governance protects freedom.   Industry Leadership as Governance Maturity Christina serves as President of the New York State Propane Gas Association. When propane faced regulatory bans in New York, competitors collaborated to protect the industry. This reflects expanded family business governance thinking. Governance is not just internal. It's external influence. It's political awareness. It's industry collaboration. Mature family enterprises understand they are stewards of an ecosystem, not just operators of a company.   Coaching, Peer Groups, and Governance Accountability Christina credits her Vistage experience for sharpening her leadership. Peer groups: Call out blind spots Pressure-test strategy Provide emotional separation Create accountability Outside perspective strengthens family business governance by preventing insularity. Family enterprises that refuse external input often stagnate.   The Three Rules That Protect Growth Christina's closing advice distills governance into three principles: Family members must want to be there. Separate personal from business. Give yourself grace — but earn your seat. Each one reinforces family business governance at a human level. Engagement. Clarity. Discipline. Without those, growth fractures relationships. With them, growth strengthens legacy.   The Real Purpose of Family Business Governance Family enterprises are uniquely powerful because they combine trust and long-term thinking. But that same proximity creates risk. The purpose of family business governance is not control. It is alignment. Alignment between: Ownership and leadership Growth and stability Family values and enterprise vision When governance is intentional, growth compounds. When governance is ignored, conflict compounds. Episode 127 is a masterclass in how disciplined family business governance allows you to scale acquisitions, navigate succession, develop next-generation leaders, and protect the family behind the enterprise.

REDUCTION IN FORCE: HOW TO LEAD DURING CRISIS!   This show focuses on the practical reality of TA downsizing, told by leaders who have already been through it. Not theory. Not platitudes. Real decisions, real mistakes, and hard-won lessons. We explore how leaders decide when reductions are unavoidable, who to let go, and how to do it in a way that is fair, defensible, and humane—while still protecting the business.   The discussion covers: • Early warning signs that TA capacity is misaligned with demand • Objective vs subjective decision-making in role reductions • Legal and process risks specific to TA teams • Communicating layoffs with clarity, dignity, and credibility • Supporting managers who deliver the message • Handling survivor guilt and rebuilding trust post-reduction • What leaders wish they had done differently   Grounded in recent workforce data and employment best practice, this episode gives TA leaders a clear-eyed framework for making difficult calls without losing their values—or their teams.   Learn how to approach TA layoffs with structure, empathy, and confidence, while minimising risk and preserving long-term organisational trust.   We're with Andrea Marston, Head of Talent Acquisition (Nutanix), Yakub Zolinsky, VP of People (XYZReality), Julia Levy, Global Head of TA (ex-Commscope, Fiserv) & friends on Friday 13th February, 2pm GMT.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most frustrating and under-discussed parts of ACL rehab: your quad is still smaller months later, and you're wondering if something is wrong. I break down what the research actually shows about quadriceps muscle mass before surgery, immediately after, and even years down the road. We walk through why atrophy starts earlier than most people realize, why surgery creates a second drop, and why full visual symmetry is not guaranteed within 9–12 months. You'll also hear real-world examples from elite athletes, and why even world-class pros with top-tier resources don't always regain identical quad size quickly. We unpack graft type differences, genetics, programming mistakes, and the biological realities that shape muscle recovery. Most importantly, I explain why muscle size and strength are not a perfect one-to-one match using a simple “cup” analogy. Bigger muscle increases potential capacity, but performance depends on more than just volume. If you've been staring at your leg wondering why it still looks different, this episode gives you clarity, normalization, and practical direction on how to approach hypertrophy the right way.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

#308 Most gym owners don't lose clients because something is obviously broken. They lose them because nothing is intentionally getting better. In this conversation, Devin Gage shares how his thinking around community, leadership, and retention has evolved as his business has grown. Even after hitting major revenue milestones, Devin realized that success doesn't remove problems, it simply reveals new ones. We talk about why people don't give up on identity, how unintentional client journeys quietly hurt retention, and why constant improvement needs to apply everywhere including team meetings and leadership communication. This episode is a deep dive into building belonging by design, not by accident. What You'll Learn Why retention is often an identity problem, not a programming problem How cognitive dissonance shows up in client behavior and churn Why client journeys and retention systems should never be accidental The four layers of belonging and where most gyms stop too early How social events, referrals, and engagement create "social stakes" Why Devin still faced leadership challenges after crossing $1M in revenue How objective scorecards remove emotion from accountability Why Devin gathers 360-degree feedback from his team How constant improvement applies to leadership, meetings, and culture Key Concepts Discussed Belonging as a retention strategy Identity and client commitment Leadership development at every stage Objective accountability and scorecards Capacity, growth thresholds, and team readiness Continuous improvement in systems and people Who This Episode Is For Gym owners thinking deeply about retention Leaders who want stronger teams, not just more revenue Owners who've grown but still feel friction internally Anyone who wants to build a business that actually lasts Check out this free tool Devin is providing to our listeners to audit and improve your client retention.  Check out Devin's podcast here.

Send a textThis week's enterprise software headlines highlight a market simultaneously accelerating into agentic AI while still wrestling with the structural and legal fallout of past transformation failures. On the innovation front, Genstore's $10M seed round, Tray.ai's launch of the Tray Agent Hub, and new agentic releases from Mendix and OutSystems underscore how aggressively vendors are repositioning around autonomous workflows and AI-first orchestration layers. ServiceNow's unveiling of its AI Experience and Plex's connected worker integration push the same narrative into IT service management and manufacturing operations, signaling that agentic concepts are no longer confined to experimental edges of the stack. At the same time, a parallel storyline of governance and execution risk is playing out, with Zimmer Biomet's $172M ERP lawsuit against Deloitte, Europe's continued delays fixing a troubled Oracle system, Daedong USA's faltering ERP injunction, and the EU Commission's investigation into SAP's practices reinforcing how fragile large-scale enterprise transformations remain. Together, these developments paint a bifurcated 2026 landscape: rapid platform innovation driven by AI ambition on one side, and unresolved accountability, regulatory scrutiny, and implementation risk on the other.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3VmbEsy5uQQuestions for Panelists?

With the Super Bowl now in the rearview mirror, ITL debates what objective number one should be for the Texans heading into the offseason, as they look to take the next step.

In this episode, we take a deeper, more grounded look at resilience through the lens of Lindsey Vonn's ACL journey. Not as motivation, but as a real, physical, and mental demonstration of what the human body is capable of when given time, intention, and the right environment. From multiple ACL tears and degenerative knee changes to a partial knee replacement and a late-career Olympic push, Lindsey's story challenges rigid narratives around timelines, imaging, and “what should be possible” after injury. This episode unpacks the difference between structure and function, why feeling good doesn't always mean being ready, and how capacity, tolerance, and informed decision-making matter far more than labels. Most importantly, it reframes the ACL journey with a powerful reminder: it's never too late to rebuild, adapt, and return to what matters to you.Links: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUI-ajQDTCc/ https://www.espn.com/olympics/skiing/story/_/id/47776769/vonn-crashes-limps-final-test-run-week-olympics https://www.instagram.com/p/DUTSTCvDdIp/https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/47816576/vonn-confident-race-olympics-ruptured-acl https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUTcSDGEfPn/Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Send us a textAI-native ERP platforms are fundamentally redefining what buyers should expect from enterprise systems, not just in how they automate work, but in how they are architected, implemented, and governed over time. In this independent, evidence-based review of DualEntry—one of the most visible AI-first ERP platforms—we move beyond vendor marketing to evaluate its data model, product design philosophy, investor alignment, market positioning, customer narratives, and community discourse, all through the lens of a real-world ERP selection project. The analysis then benchmarks DualEntry against both AI-native peers and traditional ERP platforms to surface where these systems deliver material advantages, where structural tradeoffs emerge, and what long-term risks may be accumulating beneath the innovation narrative. Designed for executives and ERP selection teams, the session provides a selection-ready framework to determine whether AI-native ERP platforms like DualEntry genuinely fit your business model, industry complexity, and growth trajectory.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ, Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions, and Phil Coerper from Ringling Business Solutions conduct an in-depth independent review of a leading AI-native platform DualEntry.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/dualentry-an-ai-native-erp-platform-an-independent-in-depth-review/Questions for Panelists?

On 23 December last year, Rowling changed her Twixter home page header and cameo with this tweeted explanation:The Charm Bracelet header features thirteen charms on nine links:Rowling tweeted an addendum about the Psalter and Jack in the Box charms:Nick Jeffery dropped an explanatory post two days later at the Hogwarts Professor weblog: J. K. Rowling Drops All the Strike 9 Clues for Christmas! It remains the only complete survey of the pieces and compendium of what Serious Strikers around the world have discovered about them.Beatrice Groves, author of Literary Allusion in Harry Potter, wrote up her charm bracelet thoughts at ‘The Strike Ellacott Files' a month later. In ‘Charms, Psalms & Golden Clues: A brace(let) of clues for Strike 9,' Prof Groves discusses the magical quality of charms as talismans and even incantational song:Rowling points out in this 2013 piece the link between the name given to charm bracelets and the magical world: ‘Why do we call those little masterpieces “charms” if not in allusion to their talismanic properties?… they are personal amulets.' To charm someone is also to slightly to bewitch them, something Rowling plays with when Riddle exerts his charm on Ginny and literally possesses her: ‘If I say it myself, Harry, I've always been able to charm the people I needed.' Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award is given to a smile that is both literally, as well as metaphorically, bewitching.The word ‘charm' comes, through French, from the Latin ‘carmen' which means ‘song, verse, oracular response, incantation.' Its first meaning in English, therefore, was the magical one: ‘the chanting or recitation of a verse supposed to possess magic power or occult influence; incantation, enchantment; hence, any action, process, verse, sentence, word, or material thing, credited with such properties; a magic spell; a talisman, etc.' (Oxford English Dictionary). From the sixteenth century onwards, ‘charm' meant ‘anything worn about the person to avert evil or ensure prosperity' because such amulets might contain the text of such a charm. And thinking about this made me aware for the first time of how in the most important charms in Harry Potter – the Fidelius Charm and the Patronus Charm – the word is not simply a synonym for spell but encodes this original, protective meaning. These magical ‘Charms' like the charms on charm bracelets encode what Rowling calls ‘talismanic properties.'Nick and John invited Elizabeth Baird Hardy, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts Professor, the genius behind AppalachianInkling.com, Hunger Games expert, and author of Milton, Spenser and the Chronicles of Narnia: Literary Sources for the C.S. Lewis Novels to talk about these charms, especially about what she had written briefly on the subject. The goals of this conversation? * To introduce the subject to everyone not familiar with the Christmas tweets and bracelet-header, * to discuss the ‘Why?' of this present to Strike fans everywhere, * to speculate about the meaning of the bracelet pieces individually and in a series, and * to brainstorm their qualities as clues for Strike9, the penultimate novel in the decalogy.Which is a lot! The good news is that the conversation never flagged and the revelations and possible meanings of the charms, thirteen in total on nine links, reward anyone listening in.Nick starts off the conversation with a review of the six charm bracelets in Rowling's life and writing, one of which was a long forgotten piece in the margins of a Rowling web site:[You can read about those internet ‘Easter Eggs' in ‘Hidden Photos at Rowling's Website' here, here, here, and here.]Nick offered as a guiding idea for our conversation the likelihood that the nine links in the bracelet were meaningful, i.e., that they reflected the structure of the book for which the bracelet is meant to be a clue. There are thirteen charms, he noted, but certainly Rowling-Galbraith could have had a thirteen link chain made if she hadn't thought the nine links more than sufficient, even a pointer to Strike 9 being a nine Part mystery. Since, as Nick noted, she has trouble even passing up a shop selling charms, it seems likely she has been collecting the pieces for this one for some time. Perhaps this bracelet is a “target” toward which she has been writing with these books. It is certainly not something she just threw together for a header photo shoot. The trio elected to read the circular collection of charms, consequently, as pieces with individual meaning — as magical talismans of sorts per Prof Groves — and as a ring composition, with both aspects indicating the place and meaning of the piece in the book.After a brief discussion of why Rowling, Inc., would release this set of clues now, with another Strike novel or Bronte Studios television adaptation in the distant future — John offered the possibility that this bit of fan servicing was meant as a touch of appeasement qua Christmas gift to the many fans disappointed with Hallmarked Man — Elizabeth, John, and Nick tackled the thirteen charms on nine links.In Part One of their conversation, they talk about * the heart shaped engagement ring box;* the golden diamond-laden egg;* the anchor;* the two angels; and * the Trojan horse.Their preliminary conclusions at the half-way point?Mrs. Murray in her Nativity gift to her readers offers them clues not only to the next Strike-Ellacott novel but to the meaning of human life. Each of these five charms is a symbol with obvious and not so obvious Christian meaning. John reconsidered his answer to the ‘Why now?' in light of this avalanche of symbolism; instead of it being fan servicing to rescue the brand, he thinks it may be Rowling's attempt — on the most celebrated remnant Christian holiday in a post-Christian world — to reset her serious readers' understanding of what she is about as a writer, what sort of transformation she is trying to create via story within her readers.Part two of this interpretative deep dive into Rowling's artistry in metallurgical symbolism, her “charm work” literary alchemy, will follow shortly. There are five links with seven charms to come — Jack in the Box, Hourglass, White Rose, Crocodile, Corvid, Psalter, and the Head of Persephone — all as rich in meaning as the first four links.Below are links to subjects mentioned in this first conversation and additions not discussed but discovered after the fact, all shared for your consideration and comments!Thank you as always from the Hogwarts Professor team for your joining us with special appreciation to our paid subscribers!Subjects that Elizabeth, Nick, and John Discussed: The Heart Shaped Engagement Ring Charm:* The first, fourth, fifth, and ninth links are clasped objects with surprises inside,* Ink Black Heart and Deathly Hallows: The Heart is Not About Emotions and Affection but the Human Spiritual Center (John, October 2022)* Hallmarked Man, Part Five: The Center of Strike 8 is about “Inner Light” (Ed Shardlow)* Gold as “solid light” and diamonds as “inner light,” both reflecting in nature the Light of God's Word or Logos that is found with in every man (cf., John 1:9 and Rowling's comments about Casual Vacancy being “all about” her belief that “the light of God shines in every soul”);* The consequent symbolism of a golden wedding/engagement band with two diamonds;* The human being as a ‘heart in a box' either enlightened ‘gold and diamonds' or a dark ‘jack in the box' devil* The two-stone ring, as Nick notes, is a “me and you” ring, alluding to a certain theme song. Also, Elizabeth notes, Robin is faced with a choice between two very different types of proposals, so the duality of the ring in the box connects to that conundrum, and since that is apparently where 9 will begin, it gives us a good idea that we are right in “reading” the bracelet starting with this oneThe Gold Diamond-Laden Egg Charm:* Assuming it is an ‘Easter Egg,' the two meanings of that phrase;* Again, ‘gold and diamonds,' as above; * Paschal meaning of Eggs: The custom of exchanging colored eggs entered the life of the Church. The symbolic meaning of the egg as the beginning of a new life was known even earlier. Christians saw in this symbol confirmation of their faith in the coming general resurrection. The Easter egg's red color symbolized the all-conquering Divine Love, which alone could destroy hell!The Foul-Anchor Charm:* ‘Strike 9 to Heads to Portsmouth!' (Nick, September 2025)* Foul Anchor (Wikipedia);* Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (Wikipedia);* Meaning of ‘Hector' in Homeric Greek is ‘Holding Fast,' and, by interpretation, ‘anchor;'* The Greek word for ‘Anchor' found in the New Testament is ἄγκυρα, pronounced ‘ang-chor-a;' * Hebrews 6:19:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.* Meaning of "Anchor of the Soul" in Hebrews 6:19?The Immediate Context of Hebrews 6:13-20The writer reassures wavering Jewish Christians by citing God's oath to Abraham (Genesis 22:16-17). Two “unchangeable things” (God's promise and His oath, v. 18) make it “impossible for God to lie.” The “hope set before us” (v. 18) functions as an anchor that has already “entered … behind the curtain” (v. 19), where Jesus, our High Priest, intercedes (v. 20; cf. 4:14-16).Anchor as Hope: Theological Significance1. Objective, not subjective: “hope” (ἐλπίς) is grounded in the historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:17-20).2. Already-but-not-yet: the anchor is cast forward into the heavenly holy of holies, securing believers' future inheritance (1 Peter 1:3-4) while exerting a present stabilizing pull.3. Firm and secure: βεβαία (reliable) and ἀσφαλής (incapable of slipping). The compound assures permanence beyond circumstantial change (Malachi 3:6).Christ Our Forerunner Behind the VeilThe anchor “enters” (εἰσερχόμενον, pres. tense) the inner sanctuary “behind the curtain,” alluding to the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16). Jesus is πρόδρομος (“forerunner,” v. 20), implying that others will follow where He has gone (John 14:2-3). The anchor-rope is His indestructible life (Hebrews 7:16), tethering the believer to God's throne of grace.* Hence its use as a symbol within Christianity: Christ having defeated death is an anchor to those members of His Mystical Body which anchors them to life after death, “beyond the veil;”* The pairing of the anchor charm with the golden egg on the second link of the bracelet reinforces this Paschal symbolism;* Charles Williams' “Co-inherence” ideas: “Who Saved Draco's Soul?” Co-Inherence in Harry PotterThe Two Angels Charms (paired on Link three)* Cupid and Psyche? Maybe!* Angels? Ghosts?* Orlando drawings! A Silkworm flash-back to the Monkey-Bag with the essential clue inside…The Trojan Horse Charm* Trojan Horse (Wikipedia)In Greek mythology, the Trojan Horse (Greek: δούρειος ίππος, romanized: doureios hippos, lit. ‘wooden horse') was a wooden horse said to have been used by the Greeks during the Trojan War to enter the city of Troy and win the war. The Trojan Horse is not mentioned in Homer's Iliad, with the poem ending before the war is concluded, and it is only briefly mentioned in the Odyssey. It is described at length in the Aeneid, in which Virgil recounts how, after a fruitless ten-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse at the behest of Odysseus, and hid a select force of men inside, including Odysseus himself. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night, the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under the cover of darkness. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city, ending the war.Metaphorically, a “Trojan horse” has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place. A malicious computer program that tricks users into willingly running it is also called a “Trojan horse“ or simply a “Trojan”.* Could the Strike Series be a Re-telling of Virgil's Aeneid? (John, July 2017)If Cormoran Strike's story is Rowling's postmodern re-telling of the Aeneid, then the Fates theme is more than apt.It is all about, after all, the hero's destiny or fate to recreate Troy in Italy as Rome, a fate which it is pointless for Aeneas to resist. The refugee from Troy, son of the goddess of beauty, is forced ever onward, often over-riding his preferences and pledges, to his destiny to found Rome as the New Troy. A soldier in an eastern country ‘coming home,' Aeneas is a wounded man, haunted by his divine mother, a man of destiny forced to leave a beautiful, powerful woman who curses him at his departure.Sound familiar? The Aeneid is a reverse reflection and re-telling of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in that it's first six books are about the Trojan's travels and the last six relate his battles with the local tribes in Latium. It seems possible that Rowling might be trying to do with the Aeneid what she did with the Weird Sisters of Macbeth, namely, present what seems to be a tale of inevitability or fate, something prophesied or otherwise seemingly inescapable, as a function really of character choice.In the Peg-Legged PI's story that could mean Rowling's revisiting fate vs choice vis a vis whether he is able to choose to take-or-leave an investigation of Leda's death (and face the dangers inherent in threatening his biological father, Jonny Rokeby) or whether he feels doomed to follow it to its end, whatever the costs to him and to those he loves.* The Trojan Horse is the wisdom of Athene as given to Odysseus, her favorite.

On the innovation side, BlackLine's launch of Verity for the Office of the CFO, Tray.ai's Agent Hub, Genstore's $10M seed round, and Blue Yonder's new TMS features underscore the accelerating push toward AI-enabled automation and orchestration layers across finance, integration, and supply chain. Versori's partnership with Fluent Commerce and Acumatica's 2025 R2 update further signal growing emphasis on ecosystem connectivity and incremental platform modernization. At the same time, the darker counterpoint is impossible to ignore: Zimmer Biomet's $172M ERP lawsuit against Deloitte, a major European city council's continued delays in fixing a failed Oracle system, and the EU Commission's investigation into SAP's practices reinforce how execution risk, vendor governance, and regulatory scrutiny are now front-and-center issues for enterprise buyers. Taken together, these developments reflect a market bifurcating between rapid AI-driven experimentation and escalating consequences for large-scale ERP missteps—raising the strategic stakes for both technology selection and transformation leadership.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tFlYu6W_iwQuestions for Panelists?

The Robertsons dig into why truth doesn't always play well in modern culture, and why Jesus wouldn't be popular in a TikTok world built on virality and approval. The guys talk through everything from their long-running distrust of dentists to why being pro-life isn't a matter of personal preference or opinion. They reflect on how stories like The Chronicles of Narnia communicate hard truths better than arguments ever could and why true change is often so uncomfortable. Today's conversation is about Lesson 2 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you!

In this episode, we unpack why “feeling good” late in ACL rehab can be one of the most misleading signals an athlete can rely on. Using the ACL-as-a-seatbelt analogy, we break down why the ligament stays quiet during controlled rehab and daily activities, why clinic exams and timelines often provide a false sense of security, and why symptoms disappearing does not equal readiness for sport. This episode reframes ACL recovery away from confidence and calendar time and toward objective evidence, chaos tolerance, and worst-case scenario preparedness, so athletes and clinicians understand what truly reduces reinjury risk.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Send us a textThis cluster of announcements illustrates how enterprise software vendors are converging on monetizable AI, composable ecosystems, and domain-specific depth rather than headline platform reinvention. Product expansions such as BillingPlatform's RevenueIQ suite, Epicor's outcomes-based ERP AI agent, and BlackLine's Verity for the CFO signal a shift toward AI that is tightly anchored to measurable financial and operational outcomes. At the same time, M&A and alliances—including IFS acquiring 7bridges, Salesforce's planned acquisition of Regrello, QAD partnering with Esker, and Versori partnering with Fluent Commerce—reinforce a strategy of filling execution gaps through targeted capabilities rather than broad-suite sprawl. Underpinning much of this activity, Oracle's deployment of GPT-5 across its database and SaaS portfolio underscores how foundational AI services are becoming embedded infrastructure, while workforce and go-to-market expansions from ActivTrak and Capacity's acquisition of KLaunch highlight continued investment in productivity, adoption, and execution at the edges of the enterprise stack.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds, including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendor. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdCqxl1NXBIQuestions for Panelists?

El viernes pasado los encargados de la investigación del accidente ferroviario de Adamuz hicieron publico un primer informe preliminar en el que se señalaba de forma explícita a un problema de infraestructura como el causante del descarrilamiento del tren de Iryo. Este descarrilamiento provocó que, tras colisionar con el Alvia que circulaba en sentido contrario, éste también se saliese de la vía. El informe venía a avalar lo que ya se había ido publicando en prensa los días precedentes. Pero el Gobierno negaba repetidamente que tuviese que ver con el estado de la infraestructura. Luego admitieron la posibilidad y en estos momentos la reconocen, pero se escudan en que se habían realizado todas las inspecciones y que ese tramo estaba recién renovado. Aún falta mucho por investigar, pero por lo que sabemos el Gobierno sigue mintiendo y lo hace, además, de un modo un tanto descarado ya que este mismo domingo la prensa publicaba fotografías tomadas en el lugar de los hechos en las que se puede ver como en ese tramo hay raíles que datan de hace casi cuatro décadas, momento en el que se construyó la línea de alta velocidad de Andalucía. El punto en el que se quebró la vía es el que une carriles y traviesas instalados en aquel momento con otros renovados en la última intervención, concretamente un raíl fabricado en 1989 con otro de 2023. Ante semejante aluvión de pruebas el Gobierno está reeditando su estrategia de comunicación que ya ensayó con gran éxito después de la caída del sistema eléctrico en abril del año pasado. Como en aquel momento, emiten informaciones contradictorias y tratan de confundir a la opinión pública con tecnicismos y una avalancha de información difícilmente digerible por el ciudadano medio. El ministro ha pasado de calificar como “muy extraño” el accidente a decir que la rotura de los raíles es un “problema recurrente” en todas las redes ferroviarias de Europa. Los usuarios del ferrocarril, entretanto, han perdido la confianza en la red a la misma velocidad a la que circulaban los trenes en su mejor momento. Sin explicar muy bien por qué la red de alta velocidad se ha convertido de un día a otro en una red de velocidad media y, en algunos tramos, incluso de baja velocidad. Han reconocido por fin que los más de 4.000 kilómetros que tiene el sistema están llenos de puntos negros donde, a pesar de que se habían registrado incidencias, no se estaba haciendo nada para resolver los problemas de fondo. La alta velocidad ferroviaria, que tan rentable ha sido en votos durante cuarenta años, era uno de los orgullos del país, pero no había ni presupuesto, ni ganas de mantenerla en condiciones. Eso ya lo sospechábamos, ahora tenemos la certeza tras los 45 muertos de este trágico accidente. Para hablar de este tema tenemos hoy en La ContraCrónica a Javier Rubio Donzé, que lleva una semana concentrado en este tema. Este sábado publicó en The Objective un duro artículo dirigido al ministro, un Yo Acuso, en el que le recuerda todo lo que ha hecho y, sobre todo, lo que ha dejado de hacer.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian reflect on a moment when Phil, a man who rarely got emotional, was moved to tears after witnessing the reality of unimaginable evil. The guys launch into a sobering conversation about why atrocities like the Holocaust can never be reduced to opinion or explained away, and why denying such evil ultimately erodes the very idea of right and wrong. Drawing on the works of C.S. Lewis, they wrestle with where moral truth comes from, why it exists beyond personal preference, and how abandoning it opens the door to history's darkest chapters.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked and misunderstood aspects of ACL rehab: what to do when your knee just doesn't feel right. You can be doing everything “by the book,” checking every rehab box, yet still feel stuck with stiffness, blocked motion, or regression that doesn't add up. We unpack why blindly pushing through isn't always the answer, how arthrofibrosis and cyclops lesions can quietly derail progress, and why listening to your gut (and advocating for yourself early) can save months of frustration. This episode is about separating normal rehab discomfort from true red flags and empowering ACLers and clinicians to stop wasting time fighting the wrong problem.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Send us a textEnterprise software vendors are tightening execution around AI enablement, workflow depth, and operational recovery rather than pursuing broad platform reinvention. Acquisition activity—from Sage moving to acquire Fyle, to SYSPRO acquiring DATASCOPE, Zendesk completing its acquisition of HyperArc, and Contentsquare acquiring Loris AI—signals a continued emphasis on capability-led expansion tightly aligned to core use cases. In parallel, AI product announcements from NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Zoho, and Zendesk emphasize connectors, agents, and embedded intelligence designed to improve productivity within existing workflows rather than displace them. Finally, the case of AAON underscores the operational reality behind these trends: ERP value is ultimately realized not through announcements or AI features alone, but through disciplined execution, stabilization, and long-term operational turnarounds—particularly in complex manufacturing environments where recovery often matters more than rapid transformation.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors.

When it comes to longevity, most of the research feels clear around exercise and nutrition. We know how they affect aging and the prevention of the four diseases that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, metabolic disease, and dementia. But where do sleep, stress, and lifestyle actually fit into that picture?  In Part 1 of the 2026 Body Blueprint, Ted explained why most men over 40 age faster than they should.   In Part 2, he broke down why weight loss alone doesn't equal health.   In Part 3, he showed how men should train to preserve muscle and strength with minimal time.   In Part 4, he explained why cardio and cardiovascular fitness are essential for longevity—even if you already lift.   In Part 5, he shared a clear, evidence-based approach to nutrition that supports metabolic health, longevity, and fat loss without quitting your social life or eliminating foods you enjoy.  In Part 6, Ted turns to the most underestimated drivers of how you age: sleep, stress, and lifestyle. He explains why these factors are harder to quantify but just as powerful, how they quietly influence disease risk and recovery, and why ignoring them can undermine even the best training and nutrition plan. This episode puts the final pieces of the longevity puzzle into place.  You'll learn:    How poor sleep drives fat gain, insulin resistance, and hormonal decline  The surprising link between sleep, pain sensitivity, and chronic injuries  How chronic stress accelerates aging even in mentally tough high achievers  Objective ways to measure stress using heart rate, HRV, and blood pressure  The difference between managing stress symptoms vs. fixing root causes    What Ted discusses in this episode:  (00:00) Introduction (04:35) The Importance of Sleep for Longevity (08:42) Hormones and Sleep (16:42) Sleep Hygiene Tips (24:52) The Role of Caffeine and Alcohol in Sleep (29:35) Understanding and Managing Stress (30:08) Understanding Chronic Stress (30:42) The Importance of Recovery (32:07) Defining Stress and Its Effects (35:13) Tracking Stress with Biomarkers (40:08) Strategies for Managing Stress (47:05) The Power of Social Connections (53:12) Conclusion and Final Thoughts

"The Making of the John Batchelor Show" is a live-streaming "beta" experiment launched by John Batchelor on Monday, January 12, 2026. The primary objective of this specific program is to demonstrate "total transparency" by allowing the audience to see the behind-the-scenes process and technical "bumps" involved in producing the show.According to the sources, this format provides several unique insights into the show's production: Live Recording for Radio: While the stream is broadcast live, Batchelor and his guests record specific segments that are later lined up for the standard radio audience in the evening. Technical Troubleshooting: The stream captures the raw interactions between Batchelor and his producer, Chris Noel, as they manage software like StreamYard, troubleshoot audio issues with guests, and coordinate the timing of the "go live" countdown. Real-Time Coordination: The sources show Batchelor and co-host Bill Roggio managing the schedule in real-time, such as texting guests like Jonathan Seiya to arrange interview slots between other segments like "New World". A "Maiden Voyage": Batchelor describes this weekday streaming effort as a "maiden voyage" and a way to jump into the "pool" of new technology, even when they are not entirely confident in the tools. Expert Integration: The format allows for casual introductions and pre-interviews between experts, such as when Batchelor introduced David Shedd to Bill Roggio before they began a formal recorded segment on China's cyber-espionage. Throughout the broadcast, the experts used this transparent platform to analyze an "unprecedented" period of global instability. They covered a wide array of topics, including the news blackout in Iran, the "fiction" of U.S. strikes in Syria, and the shift toward center-right governments in Latin America following the removal of Nicolas Maduro.In essence, "The Making of the John Batchelor Show" functions like a "glass-walled studio," where the audience observes both the polished geopolitical analysis and the unscripted logistical efforts required to bring that analysis to the airwaves.1850 SUBURB OF TEHRAN

SHOW1-12-26"THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW""The Making of the John Batchelor Show" is a live-streaming "beta" experiment launched by John Batchelor on Monday, January 12, 2026. The primary objective of this specific program is to demonstrate "total transparency" by allowing the audience to see the behind-the-scenes process and technical "bumps" involved in producing the show.GLOBAL CHAOS AND THE EROSION OF STABILITY Colleagues Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. The guests discuss worldwide instability, arguing that the US has abandoned its traditional role in maintaining global order. They examine conflicts in Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, suggesting US actions are often driven by whims rather than strategic planning, leading to a state of heightened chaos. NUMBER 1FICTIONS IN SYRIA AND THE RISKS OF INTERVENTION Colleagues Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. The discussion focuses on the Syrian conflict, criticizing the US for maintaining "fictions" about local actors and security forces. Haqqani warns against military intervention in Iran, citing past failures like Vietnam and Iraq, noting that military force cannot solve misunderstood political problems. NUMBER 2CHINA'S GREAT HEIST OF AMERICAN SECRETS Colleagues David Shedd and Bill Roggio. David Sheddoutlines China's extensive cyber espionage campaigns, including "Salt Typhoon," which successfully hacked US Congressional committees. These operations aim to steal sensitive communications and embed sabotage tools within USinfrastructure, highlighting a critical failure in American defensive preparedness. NUMBER 3REGIME CHANGE AND SHIFTING POWER IN THE AMERICAS Colleagues David Shedd and Bill Roggio. Shedd details the removal of Nicolas Maduro and a regional shift toward center-right governments. This transition aims to end Russian and Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere. Furthermore, the US is demanding stricter security cooperation from Mexico to dismantle powerful drug cartels. NUMBER 4IRANIAN PROTESTS AND THE COLLAPSE OF REGIME CONTROL Colleague Malcolm Hoenlein. Protests across Iran have turned deadly, with reports of hundreds killed by live fire and hospitals refusing wounded demonstrators. Malcolm Hoenlein highlights a communication blackout and a collapsing economy where the currency has plummeted. A new minority coalition of Baluchis and Kurds is now supporting rebellion. NUMBER 5THE SHIFTING BALANCE OF FEAR IN IRAN Colleague Malcolm Hoenlein. As the regime faces potential implosion, discussions involve a return of the Shah's son as a symbolic figurehead, though no clear path to collective leadership exists. Revolutionaries are now tagging the homes of officials, signaling that the balance of fear has shifted from the people to the leadership. NUMBER 6RUSSIA'S ORESHNIK MISSILE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERRENCE Colleague John Hardy. Russia is utilizing the Oreshnik missile to strike Ukrainian infrastructure, leaving thousands without heat. John Hardy explains these strikes serve as psychological intimidation to deter Western nations from providing security guarantees or ground troops. Recent strikes likely targeted an aircraft repair plant, not gas storage. NUMBER 7ESCALATING CONFLICT BETWEEN SYRIAN FORCES AND KURDISH ALLIES Colleague Akmed Khari. Clashes have erupted in Aleppo between the Syrian government and the Kurdish SDF after a failed integration agreement. Akmed Khari notes the complexity of the US coordinating with Syrian security forces that remain riddled with jihadists. The conflict is expected to expand into other contested regions. Analogy: The situation in Syria is like a shaky alliance between rival firefighters who, while ostensibly trying to put out the same blaze, begin turning their hoses on each other while the fire continues to spread. NUMBER 8THE US-MANAGED TRANSITION IN POST-MADURO VENEZUELA Colleague Ernesto Araújo. John Batchelor and Ernesto Araújo discuss the US-led operation that captured Nicolas Maduro. Araújo describes the current situation as a well-managed transition where the US is navigating internal power struggles among military factions and criminal gangs rather than allowing a power vacuum to form. NUMBER 9REGIONAL SHIFTS: COLOMBIA'S DIPLOMACY AND BRAZIL'S POLITICAL FUTURE Colleague Ernesto Araújo. The discussion focuses on Gustavo Petro's pivot toward the United States and the historical concept of "Grand Colombia." In Brazil, they evaluate Lula da Silva's potential re-election bid against the enduring popularity of the imprisoned Jair Bolsonaro and the influence of new nationalist political forces. NUMBER 10REGIONAL REACTIONS TO MADURO'S CAPTURE AND THE ISOLATION OF CUBA Colleague Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports that Venezuelans are celebrating Maduro's capture while the Trumpadministration halts oil shipments to Cuba. He explains that regional left-wing leaders fear a trial will reveal their corrupt ties to Maduro, while the Cuban regime faces collapse without Venezuelan energy. NUMBER 11THE FOUR FAMILIES OF CARACAS AND THE END OF THE REGIME Colleague Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Esclusa analyzes the four mafias currently competing for power in Caracas: the Rodriguez siblings, Diosdado Cabello, Padrino Lopez, and Maduro's remnants. He argues that overwhelming US military force has rendered local weapons irrelevant and that the dismantling of these groups is necessary for elections. NUMBER 12ESCALATING IRANIAN PROTESTS AND POTENTIAL US INTERVENTION Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the current Iranian protests as a movement that has shifted into a repression phase characterized by internet blackouts and rising casualties. He argues that US military force targeting repression organs could tip the balance in favor of the protesters, who are increasingly calling for a constitutional monarchy. The regime is reportedly attempting to negotiate following US strike threats. NUMBER 13THE COLLAPSE OF THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Fitton-Brown explains how the fall of the Iranian regime would devastate its regional proxies, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias, which depend on IRGC funding and training. Without Tehran's "big brother" support, these groups would likely be forced to make accommodations with local governments. He also notes Hezbollah's role as an international drug cartel. NUMBER 14THE ZOMBIE REGIME AND STRATEGIC TARGETS Colleague Jonathan Sai. Jonathan Sai labels the Islamic Republic a "zombie regime" facing an existential threat despite its brutal crackdowns. He reports that the IRGC and foreign militias are using automatic weapons against protesters in cities like Tehran and Mashhad. Sai suggests that USintervention should prioritize striking repression centers and state-run propaganda machines to dismantle the regime's control. NUMBER 15HEZBOLLAH'S SURVIVAL AND THE LOSS OF REGIONAL LIFELINES Colleague David Daoud. David Daoud characterizes Hezbollah as an ideological extension of Iran currently in survival mode as its lifelines in Syria and Venezuela weaken. While Hezbollah wants the regime to survive for power projection, Daoud suggests Iraqi militias are more likely to be physically assisting Tehran's crackdowns due to their proximity and lower combat losses compared to Hezbollah. To clarify the current state of the Iranian government, Jonathan Sai uses the metaphor of a "zombie regime": it may appear to be moving and in control, but it is functionally dead because it can no longer sustain its support base or provide basic necessities for its people. NUMBER 161832 PERSIAN GIRL, SKETCHED ON STONE BY JAMES ATKINSON

Objective of the Plan Lower healthcare costs for Americans. Extend expiring ACA subsidies temporarily while transitioning to a new system. Shift financial benefits from insurance companies to individuals. Proposed Measures Two-year extension of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (originally expanded during COVID-19). Income eligibility cap for subsidies at 700% of the federal poverty line to prevent wealthy Americans from benefiting. Minimum premium payments to ensure cost-sharing. Encourage Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and direct tax credits to individuals rather than insurers. Push for cost-sharing reductions that were previously blocked in Congress. Financial Impact Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates reforms could: Lower premiums by 12.7%. Save taxpayers $30.8 billion. Criticism of ACA for being “unsustainable” and increasing premiums by 80% since passage. Political Context Democrats opposed previous Republican attempts to include cost-sharing reductions in legislation. Debate over whether reforms should be bipartisan or passed via budget reconciliation. Trump emphasizes “power to the people” by allowing individuals to control healthcare spending. Underlying Philosophy There is a strong focus on consumer choice and freedom. Opposition to government-managed healthcare and subsidies flowing to insurance companies. A belief that direct-to-consumer funding will reduce corruption and lower costs. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
