Mike and Bobby recapped the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, detailing how the game impacted Atlanta's organization afterwards. Bobby said New Orleans found "the answer" at the two most important spots in the organization: head coach and quarterback. Bobby campaigned for Tyler Shough winning the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year, and he questioned the future of some of the Saints' aging veterans. The guys spoke to WWL listeners about the Saints' defense, running back room, and options in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mike and Bobby interviewed Les Sackett, the marketing manager at The Silver Slipper, and Jeff Duncan, a columnist for The Times-Picayune.

Aaron Rodgers has been playing very well. The Texans have a great defense and the Steelers need a good gameplan. Rodgers has not thrown a pick since November 9. We believe the Steelers can beat the Texans and potentially make a run.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Joe Starkey is all aboard the Steelers train going into the playoffs. This is a different team than it has been the last five years. aron Rodgers is very comfortable in the Steelers offense and calling his own plays at the line. Aaron Rodgers has been playing very well.

Jed Ellerbroek says it "feels kind of strange being optimistic" heading into the new year. He believes "decent" economic data and recent rate cuts will lead to the bull market's run continuing through 2026. Jed urges investors to watch the AI CapEx story, especially surrounding companies like Oracle (ORCL), CoreWeave (CRWV), and the Mag 7. He likes Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Amy King watched the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and seeing people sheltered in a leaking football stadium inspired her to work with her husband on shelter solutions.  The result was Pallet, a company that makes safe, secure, and easily assembled temporary shelters.  In this episode she shares her inspiring story and details about her remarkable company.    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Amy King and Pallet  This chapter introduces Amy King, founder and CEO of Pallet, a public benefit corporation addressing homelessness.  02:07 From Child Psychology to Social Enterprise  Amy King shares her journey from studying child psychology, where she observed the impact of troubled homes, to founding Pallet. Her interest in people and the influence of early experiences shaped her path toward addressing societal challenges like homelessness.  04:37 The Genesis of Pallet: From Katrina to Construction  Amy discusses how her husband's construction company accidentally led them to employ individuals from the justice system, many of whom had experienced homelessness.   07:19 Public Benefit Corporation Model  Amy explains why Pallet operates as a public benefit corporation rather than a nonprofit, emphasizing its dual mission of workforce development and providing shelter.   11:13 Pallet Shelters and Deployment Strategy  Amy describes the innovative design of Pallet shelters—lightweight, panelized, and quick to assemble, with features like heat, AC, and easy cleaning. She details Pallet's partnership with cities and Zillow to identify and utilize vacant public land for shelter villages, which are temporary and designed for easy relocation.  15:35 The Transformative Impact of Pallet Shelters  Amy elaborates on how Pallet shelters provide more than just a roof, offering a managed care environment with wraparound services for mental health, substance use, and housing placement. This stability allows individuals to engage with services and break the cycle of homelessness, as exemplified by a tenant named Matthew.  20:29 Hope for Ending Homelessness & Political Challenges  Amy discusses Pallet's broad reach across the US and Canada and her controversial but hopeful view on ending homelessness. She addresses the political complexities and the need for sufficient services and innovation to address root causes, moving towards 'functional zero' homelessness.  25:57 Disaster Relief and Versatile Solutions  Amy highlights Pallet's role in disaster relief, noting the political challenges of working with organizations like FEMA and the need for non-congregate shelter solutions. She explains the versatility of Pallet's product, which can be repurposed for both disaster response and homelessness, providing flexibility for communities.  31:10 Economic Viability and Community Recovery  Amy discusses the economic benefits of using Pallet shelters for disaster relief, contrasting them with expensive hotel stays and emphasizing the importance of keeping residents near their communities for recovery. This approach helps maintain local economic bases and encourages volunteer participation by providing convenient housing for relief workers.  34:19 Transformative Impact on Individuals and Families  Amy shares her favorite part of the work: witnessing the profound transformation of individuals who gain employment and stability through Pallet. She emphasizes how this not only changes the lives of the employees, many of whom were formerly incarcerated or homeless, but also reunites and positively impacts their families, especially their children.  38:46 Getting Involved with Pallet  Amy encourages listeners to get involved with Pallet by reaching out through their website or email to support their mission. She emphasizes the value of local constituent engagement in driving political conversations and understanding community stakeholders to expand their impact. 

Why I'm Optimistic About The Music Industry Times are tough in the music industry—and there's no point pretending otherwise. Streaming payouts are shrinking, costs are rising, the economy is squeezing fans, and AI plus the distraction economy are reshaping how people engage with music. In this episode of Other Record Labels, I acknowledge the very real challenges indie labels and musicians are facing right now—and then I make the case for optimism.   PRESENTED BY LANDR - http://landr.com/otherrecordlabels I share five reasons why, despite everything working against us, I genuinely believe the future still holds opportunity for independent artists and labels. From the quiet resurgence of physical media, to the power of human connection, to why your unique label path may actually be the solution—not the problem—this episode is about perspective, resilience, and rebellion. If you've been feeling discouraged, burned out, or close to giving up, this conversation is for you. Because even when it doesn't make sense, we're still here—and that matters.   Sign up for Labelmates: http://otherrecordlabels.com/labelmates

Josh reflects on the importance of timing, embodiment, and listening to his gut, key leadership principles that inform his career, all of which now guide his current focus on his family and future business endeavors as a keynote speaker and author.Love the show?

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, the go-to podcast for unfiltered breakdowns, exclusive insights, and fiery debates on Nittany Lions football! In this jam-packed episode, hosts Cory Lestochi & Shawn Kane unpack the latest whirlwind developments in Happy Valley under new head coach Matt Campbell. As the team gears up for the Pinstripe Bowl and eyes a 2026 rebound, we're diving into the recruiting surge, the explosive leaked audio from AD Pat Kraft paired with King Mack's candid remarks, Nick Singleton's big Senior Bowl invite, and the uncertain status of QB Ethan Grunkemeyer. From drama to draft buzz, this episode has it all – tune in for expert analysis and what it means for PSU's path forward in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions are back in beast mode on the recruiting front! With Matt Campbell at the wheel, PSU is aggressively rebuilding after the Franklin firing decimated the 2027 class and thinned out 2026 commitments. We detail the recent wave of additions to the 2026 class, including intriguing three-star safeties like Bryson Williams and other under-the-radar gems that fit Campbell's gritty, developmental style. Shawn breaks down how Campbell's staff is flipping decommits, targeting Midwest and DMV prospects, and leveraging NIL to compete with powerhouses like Ohio State. Plus, early looks at 2027 targets, such as West Coast offensive tackles where PSU is emerging as a favorite. Mike analyzes commitment trackers showing the class climbing from rock bottom to promising, with speculation on how these moves address needs at OL, DB, and WR for long-term contention. Drama alert! We dissect the controversial leaked 20-minute audio from Athletic Director Pat Kraft's players' meeting, where he rants about the coaching change, internal failures, and even takes shots at Oregon and other programs. Kraft's NSFW comments on where things went wrong – including failing to land top targets like BYU's Kalani Sitake – have gone viral, leading to his public apology and fan backlash. Then, we pivot to safety King Mack's eye-opening remarks, blaming the 6-6 season on "lack of leadership, selfishness, and buy-in" from players. Mack praises Campbell for "knowing what went wrong" and fixing it, revealing internal tensions under Kraft. Our hosts debate the fallout: Is this a wake-up call for accountability, or does it expose deeper program issues? Big news for one of PSU's stars – running back Nicholas Singleton has accepted an invitation to the 2026 Senior Bowl! As the fifth Nittany Lion to commit (joining standouts like Kaytron Allen, Drew Shelton, and Zane Durant), this is a huge showcase for Singleton to boost his NFL draft stock after a solid senior year. The quarterback room is in flux, and freshman Ethan Grunkemeyer is at the center of it. With 1,079 passing yards, 6 TDs, and 4 INTs in limited 2025 action, the former top-100 recruit (No. 5 QB in his class) is weighing his options amid the coaching transition. We explore his uncertain future – stay and compete under Campbell, or hit the transfer portal for a "best situation" in 2026? Grunkemeyer remains focused on the Pinstripe Bowl vs. Clemson, but rumors swirl about a potential reset in the QB room. Our hosts analyze his strengths (arm talent, mobility from Lewis Center, OH), areas for growth, and recruiting expert takes on whether PSU should rebuild around him or look elsewhere. Includes stats breakdowns and comparisons to past PSU QBs. We tackle your questions from the mailbag – Can Campbell salvage the recruiting classes? What's the real story behind Kraft's rant? Plus, our "Buy or Sell" segment on Grunkemeyer's stay-or-go odds and Singleton's draft projection.

“We're very optimistic” on the economy, says Ed Siddell, arguing that you have to look between the lines on the jobs reports. He notes that private companies are hiring more, which he sees as a positive sign. He also contrasts consumer sentiment measures vs record high Black Friday spending. Ed also argues that consumer cash flow will be “much greater” in January because of the tax bill, along with lower food and gas prices. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

It is not an understatement to say that AI has revolutionized virtually every aspect of human life. What should characterize a Christian posture towards AI? Should we be concerned? Optimistic? How do we think biblically about it the emergence of new AI technology? In this unique episode, Sean is joined by three Biola/Talbot professors who are experts in their fields and in AI: Yohan Lee, Associate Dean of Technology and Professor of Computer Science; Michael Arena, Dean of Biola's Crowell School of Business; and Mihretu Guta, Professor of Philosophy and Apologetics. Mihretu P. Guta, Ph.D. (Philosophy at Durham University, UK). After completing his Ph.D., he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Durham University within the Durham Emergence Project which was set up with cooperation between physicists and philosophers and funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

He has been privileged to serve as a civil scientist (U.S. National Institutes of Health), Principal Investigator (Google AI), Chief Science Officer (Riiid Labs, Inc.), and CEO (Scaled Entelechy, Inc). His undergraduate and doctoral studies were at UCLA in neuroscience and genomics with a focus on the neurological basis of learning and memory in addition to precision medicine. His doctoral work centered on large scale genomic data for health and distributed computing. In his corporate role, Dr. Lee has led research and business units in industry, public-private partnerships, the federal government, and international academic consortia for enterprise initiatives with Fortune 50 corporations. Michael Arena, Ph.D., is the dean of the Crowell School of Business at Biola University. He is also the chief science officer and co-founder of the Connected Commons, a research consortium that brings together business and academic thought leaders to develop and apply organizational network solutions. Prior to joining Biola, he served as the vice president of talent and development at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he leveraged network analysis to enable employee growth, organizational culture and innovation. Arena was also the chief talent officer for General Motors Corporation where he helped to facilitate a business transformation, which is highlighted in his book Adaptive Space. Arena also spent two years as a visiting scientist with MIT's Media Lab researching human networks and acted as a design thinking coach within the Stanford School for three years. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

We do some of the maths on robo-taxis to show why market hopes are so high - but also why the company must deliver them on a staggering scale to justify Tesla's share price.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Joe does think the performance should inspire some hope that the Steelers can win a playoff game. Aaron Rodgers played great. People can still be mad by past failures, but admit they have some good elements to win a playoff game. Steelers fans are starting to be more optimistic, but want to see the Steelers beat the Lions.

If the Steelers beat a team as good as Detroit, as they are legit contenders to win a playoff game. The Steelers moved on from Darius Slay and Juan Thornhill because it wasn't working. MVS and Jonnu Smith were heavily involved.

Today I want to share something meaningful with you. What began as a simple idea to help my kids strengthen their mindset on the way to school grew into a daily newsletter, then a podcast, and now a book. In this special episode, I read the full introduction to my new book, The Optimistic Outlook. The introduction sets the tone for everything the book stands for. It is honest about the reality we all face and the negativity that can shape our thinking, and it offers a simple but powerful truth. You can choose your optimistic voice. One thought at a time. One lesson at a time. If you have been encouraged by this show, the newsletter, or any of the daily messages this year, I think this introduction will speak to you. It explains why optimism is not a feeling you stumble into. It is a skill you train. In this episode, you will hear: • The story behind the Optimistic Outlook • Why your mindset is the most important muscle in your body • The difference between the pessimistic voice and the optimistic voice • Why choosing optimism is not naive, it is intentional • How daily thoughts shape long-term identity • Why I wrote this book and who it is for Quote from the episode: "Life is too short and too hard to let your mind settle into negativity. Your mind must be challenged, shaped, and trained to believe good things can happen and that the future can be bright." If this message resonates with you, you can get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4R5VJH1 Use your gifts, John Eades

Corey Salsberg, one of the leading voices on intellectual property policy in the United States, joins Clause 8 to discuss surviving the anti-pharma activism of the last administration, why he's encouraged by the current administration's approach to patent policy, and even the scientific possibility of “resurrecting the woolly mammoth.”As Global Head of IP at Novartis, Salsberg has a unique vantage point on how legal uncertainty affects the future of healthcare innovations. His work testifying before Congress has placed him at the center of the debate over the Supreme Court's Mayo, Myriad, and Alice decisions — rulings that he thinks have been followed by years of instability around Section 101, threatening investment in critical biotech and diagnostic breakthroughs.The conversation explores the political landscape surrounding the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA), the persistence of myths like “patent thickets,” and the consequences of letting misinformation shape innovation policy. It also highlights what Congress can do to prevent the U.S. from falling behind in the race for gene and AI-driven therapeutics.Ultimately, Salsberg's perspective underscores how constructive, good-faith dialogue across industries remains essential to safeguarding innovation.
