AI systems change constantly. Models get deprecated, APIs shift, and what works today might fail tomorrow. Instead of trying to keep up with everything, I've built my systems for permanent adaptability. That means migration patterns that let me run old and new prompts side by side, using OpenAI's hidden Flex tier to cut costs by 50%, front-loading repeated data in prompts to maximize cache savings, and implementing circuit breakers so runaway AI costs can't blow up my bill. These aren't optimizations — they're how you run AI in production without losing your mind or your money.I'm running a time-limited Black Friday sale of The Bootstrapper's Bundle: all my books, all my courses, all formats, for $25 instead of $100+.

While the captain of the Emily G. Reed was sadly reporting the loss of 11 brave mariners, four of the missing were adrift, desperately bailing water out of a damaged and leaky lifeboat. Destination: Puget Sound. (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1503a.shipwreck-emily-g-reed.328.html)

Jason Manford and his best mate Steve Edge are back with some light-hearted fun for your Sunday morning.This week, Jason spills the beans on an all-star paddle match featuring none other than Michael McIntyre and Gary Barlow. And if that wasn't enough, he takes us behind the velvet curtain of the Royal Variety Show, where he may or may not have invited the Prince and Princess of Wales to swap their crowns for a paddle. (Spoiler: they were very polite about it.)Meanwhile, Steve faces a life-changing question about vending machines, we investigate the mystery of a vanishing bin in Bin Chat, and your trivia skills get a workout in Hit Me With Your Best Facts.

In this follow-up to our paddle-angle masterclass, Michael and Mircea dig into the advanced version of one of pickleball's most important (and misunderstood) skills: learning to read what your opponents are about to do before they do it. After catching up—Michael's Thanksgiving trip to North Carolina, CRBN's new cold-weather gear, and the limited-edition CRBN Summit paddle drop—the guys jump straight into how paddle-angle reading evolves at the 4.0–5.0 level. At this stage, everyone can dink, reset, roll, and counter. The real separator becomes: who anticipates better? And even more importantly: who disguises better? Michael and Mircea break down the specifics of how higher-level players use paddle angle, stance, and subtle body cues to hide their intentions. They talk about why the non-returning partner should basically be a walking radar—predicting drops vs drives, sliding into better positions early, and helping their partner get up with less chaos. Then they move into real on-court examples from their recent games together: • Why giving strong players their favorite patterns is a recipe for pain • How to instantly recognize flat drives that are 100% sailing long • Why racquetball-style grips almost guarantee upward-facing, out-of-control forehands • How Mircea disguises speed-ups so late that you can't read the direction until the last millisecond They introduce the concept of half-tracking, where you use your peripheral vision to track the ball into your partner's contact but immediately shift your eyes forward to read your opponents' paddle angles, shoulders, hips, and swing cues. This lets you anticipate flicks, rolls, chicken-wings, and speed-ups before the ball ever crosses the net. To put it all into practice, they give three simple, powerful training ideas: Dink-only paddle-angle reads Drill cross-court or straight-on dinks and make your #1 focus predicting direction based solely on paddle angle. Slow-motion prediction training Film a point, pause before contact, and try calling the shot—line, middle, cross-court, drop, roll, or speed-up. Disguise training Learn to hold your paddle still longer and change direction at the last moment so your opponents can't read you. The episode wraps with a huge truth bomb: If you want to keep improving past 4.0, and especially if your legs and reaction time aren't 22 years old anymore, paddle-angle reading might be the single biggest skill you can add. It lets you move sooner, defend more confidently, and see the game two beats ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After 20+ years as a software developer, AI coding assistants revealed a shocking truth: I never actually loved coding—I loved what code could accomplish. In this episode, I explore how transitioning from hand-crafting every line at Podscan to orchestrating AI-generated code exposed the fundamental difference between developers who cherish solving technical puzzles and entrepreneurs who prioritize shipping features that drive business value. This shift from programmer to orchestrator isn't just about tools; it's about letting go of a carefully constructed identity and embracing that for software entrepreneurs, pristine code was never the goal—rapid deployment, customer value, and business growth always were. If you're struggling with AI coding tools or clinging to perfectionist coding standards, this perspective might fundamentally change how you view your role as a technical founder.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comYou'll find the Black Friday Guide here: https://www.paddle.com/learn/grow-beyond-black-fridayThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/i-never-really-loved-coding-and-only-ai-made-me-realize-it/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/424-i-never-really-loved-coding-and-only-ai-made-me-realize-it Check out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

This episode marks the next chapter for Aloha Athletics, one that's been a long time coming.In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the full story: how Aloha Athletics began, what it's become, and why I'm pivoting from paddle coaching into something so much bigger, a movement rooted in mindset, growth, and community.You'll hear about:The lessons endurance sports taught me about mindset and resilienceWhy I'm shifting focus to the community building, Endless Aloha Challenge, and mental performance tools. What inspired the rebrand from Training Chats to Glitter & CarbsThe vision for the future: bringing athletes together to do hard things, grow, and celebrate the process Aloha Athletics has always been about endurance, growth, and heart. Now, it's becoming a place where athletes of all kinds can connect, build mental strength, and do hard things together, on and off the water.If you've been part of this community from the start, thank you for being here as we grow and evolve. And if you're new, welcome this is where grit meets gratitude, and endurance meets aloha.Mentioned in this EpisodeEndless Aloha Challenge – Join the 2026 ChallengeFollow Aloha Athletics on Instagram for updates and mindset tools

In part two of our conversation with French powerhouse Paul Magnier of Soudal–Quick-Step — one of the brightest young stars in professional cycling — we dive deep into the art of sprinting.Paul pulls back the curtain on the final 1,000 meters: how to read chaos, trust the lead-out, and time the winning move.We dig into aero gains — from wind-tunnel insights and bar-width experiments to 56×11 gearing and 105–110 rpm cadence — and why he practices seated accelerations at 800–1,000 watts. He also unpacks the Wolfpack mentality that trades pressure for confidence.Paul shares how he mentally reset after a heavy crash, what separates good from great sprinters, and his race-day routine. Plus: his go-to Castelli kit — the Sanremo S8 speed suit, Perfetto, Gabba, and Gavia jackets for rough weather — and why Castelli's no-logo Pro Shop pieces have become a peloton secret.If you're chasing faster finishes in crits or road races, you'll love Paul's practical sprint training cues and energy-saving tactics.

Join us for a lively and inspiring conversation with Ryan Cooper (producer) and Josh Flanagan (director) about the mockumentary comedy Pickleheads — the world's first feature-film dive into the booming sport of pickleball. We explore: how the idea was born, what drew them to the quirky and fast-growing pickleball scene, the challenges of making a sport-based mockumentary, casting surprises, movie-making secrets, and what this film says about community, competition, and creativity. If you're a filmmaker, sport-enthusiast, or simply love behind-the-scenes stories, this episode is for you.

In which we use Silas' Mackerel Paddle to try to get you to sleep, yell out strange comments if you won't, gather nuts in May and pursue our General sort of nonsense.Full show notes are at https://offgrid.tlmb.net/Some General Knowledge, a mini-quiz, and some fun trivia we didn't necessarily know until just now.Before each recording, the hosts & their guest solve a cryptic crossword. In the podcast, we riff on words in the grid or clues (spoilers!), telling each other things we find funny or interesting about them. We'll also pick a favourite clue each, and explain how it works to the listener, and have a mini-quiz, also inspired by the puzzle. You don't have to solve or understand cryptic crosswords yourself to enjoy this podcast, but hopefully we might intrigue and tempt you to dip your toes in the water. Hosted on Acast.

Vicki sets out to follow in her father's footsteps and swim down the River Avon from Bath to Bristol. She is joined on this adventure by her wife Oonagh. Along the way she meets up with her family for some reminiscing about her father, and talks to Johnny Palmer, a passionate swimmer and “disrupter” who inspires and enables many swims around Bristol.

A lot of early-stage founders have understood—mostly because more and more people are talking about their early-stage strategies—that you need to validate your ideas. You need to make an effort to figure out if the thing you're planning to do is actually reasonable to attempt. Validation is important and absolutely worth doing prior to building.That much, many people have understood.But here's where things get interesting. Often enough, validation looks like checking if people have the problem—checking if people have the challenge that your idea solves. And if you find people complaining about it, if you find people mentioning that they struggle with this, to some founders, that's a sufficient reason to build a software-as-a-service solution.Then they bring it to market and realize something frustrating: even if they directly engage people in their market, even if they directly show this and onboard people into the product, they still don't get a sale.People stick with what they're currently doing, even though it is something that, from your perspective as a founder, is much worse, much more expensive, much more complicated, much less scalable.Why is that?This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comYou'll find the Black Friday Guide here: https://www.paddle.com/learn/grow-beyond-black-fridayThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/the-missing-piece-in-your-validation-strategy/The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/419-the-missing-piece-in-your-validation-strategyCheck out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A Paddle Through Memories: Áron's Journey on Lake Balaton Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-15-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balaton tó vize csendesen hullámzott az őszi naplementében.En: The water of Lake Balaton gently rippled in the autumn sunset.Hu: Áron, egy 32 éves környezetkutató, a part mentén készítette elő kajakját.En: Áron, a 32-year-old environmental researcher, was preparing his kayak along the shore.Hu: Az aranyló és vörös levelek keretében minden annyira békésnek tűnt.En: Framed by the golden and red leaves, everything seemed so peaceful.Hu: A levegő hűvös, mégis frissítő volt.En: The air was cool, yet refreshing.Hu: Egy utolsó esélyt keresett, hogy gyermekkora kellemes emlékeivel töltse meg a napot – megemlékezzen azokról az időkről, amelyeket a nagyapjával töltött a tó mellett.En: He was seeking one last chance to fill the day with pleasant memories of his childhood — to reminisce about the times he spent by the lake with his grandfather.Hu: Eszter és Miklós, Áron barátai, figyelték, ahogy beszállt a kajakjába.En: Eszter and Miklós, Áron's friends, watched as he got into his kayak.Hu: "Vigyázz magadra, Áron," kiáltotta Eszter aggodalmasan.En: "Take care of yourself, Áron," Eszter called out worriedly.Hu: "Az időjárás gyorsan változhat.En: "The weather can change quickly."Hu: " Miklós is egyetértően bólintott.En: Miklós nodded in agreement.Hu: Áron azonban csak mosolygott.En: However, Áron just smiled.Hu: Tudta, hogy a tó vize ma különleges jelentőséggel bír számára.En: He knew that the lake's water held a special significance for him today.Hu: A nap lassan leereszkedett a hegyek mögé, narancssárgára, vörösre és aranyra festve az eget.En: The sun slowly descended behind the mountains, painting the sky orange, red, and gold.Hu: Áron óvatosan evezett távolabb a parttól, élvezve a csendet.En: Áron paddled carefully away from the shore, enjoying the silence.Hu: Az időbe mintha egy pillanatra megállt volna.En: Time seemed to stand still for a moment.Hu: Minden békés volt.En: Everything was peaceful.Hu: Szívében azonban apró aggály kezdett növekedni.En: Yet, a small sense of concern began to grow in his heart.Hu: Tudta, hogy hamarosan vihar érkezhet.En: He knew that a storm could be arriving soon.Hu: Ahogy elérte a tó közepét, a felhők gyülekezni kezdtek.En: As he reached the middle of the lake, clouds began to gather.Hu: Az egykor tiszta ég sötétebb lett, a szél hűvösen fújt át rajta.En: The once clear sky grew darker, and the wind blew through him with a chill.Hu: Áron szíve hevesen dobogott.En: Áron's heart pounded.Hu: Vajon kockáztassa meg, hogy kint maradjon a vízen?En: Should he risk staying on the water?Hu: Aztán, mintha a sors hívása lett volna, valami úszni kezdett felé.En: Then, as if it were a call of fate, something began to float towards him.Hu: Egy régi játékcsónak – pont olyan, amilyennel ő és nagyapja játszottak évekkel ezelőtt.En: An old toy boat — just like the ones he and his grandfather used to play with years ago.Hu: Könnyek gyűltek Áron szemébe.En: Tears welled up in Áron's eyes.Hu: Érezte, hogy a nagyapja szelleme vele van.En: He felt his grandfather's spirit with him.Hu: Ez a jel éppen megfelelő pillanatban érkezett.En: This sign arrived at just the right moment.Hu: Megfogta a kis csónakot.En: He grabbed the little boat.Hu: Ahogy a viharfelhők a tó fölé kerültek, Áron visszaevickélt a parthoz, a szívében új bölcsességgel és békével.En: As the storm clouds moved over the lake, Áron paddled back to shore with new wisdom and peace in his heart.Hu: Amikor kiszállt a kajakból, Eszter és Miklós elégedetten látták, hogy Áron mosolyog.En: When he got out of the kayak, Eszter and Miklós were pleased to see Áron smiling.Hu: A vihar ugyan elvonult, de a lelkében rend helyreállt.En: The storm had passed, but calm had been restored in his soul.Hu: Megfogadta, hogy részese lesz a tó megőrzésének, hogy az eljövendő nemzedékek is élvezhessék annak szépségét.En: He vowed to be part of the lake's preservation so that future generations could enjoy its beauty.Hu: Áron tudta, hogy a legjobb módja nagyapja emlékének tiszteletére az, ha biztosítja, hogy Balaton örökké élhető maradjon.En: Áron knew that the best way to honor his grandfather's memory was to ensure that Balaton remains livable forever.

We're living through a fascinating moment in software development. AI coding tools can build features faster than ever before. They can scan entire codebases, spot things we might miss, and implement changes across dozens of files in seconds. It's incredible.But there's something we need to talk about.

Adventure, laughter, and teamwork filled the day as 18 students who are blind or low vision joined State Services for the Blind and Wilderness Inquiry for a canoe trip on the Mississippi River. For many, it was their first time on the water, but with guidance, encouragement, and life-long memories being made, students and parents alike built confidence and new friendships. Alongside paddling, they shared stories, spotted eagles, and even braved a downpour together—proof that nothing could dampen their spirits.   This canoe trip is just one of many activities SSB offers. From camping and snowshoeing to peer meetups, picnics, and cooking classes, these events help students grow independence, build connections, and explore the outdoors in safe and exciting ways. Parents gain peace of mind knowing their children are supported while discovering new skills and friendships.
