Christine sits down with husband-and-wife duo Kara Linse Buckley (sports marketing, ex-Senior Advisor, U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee advisor) and Darragh Buckley (CEO at Increase, employee #1 at Stripe), parents of four in Bend, Oregon. They dig into designing a walkable life around two anchoring goals : easy enjoyable parenting and meaningful productive work, including a custom upcoming house move with kids' bedrooms small-by-design to push family into shared spaces. The conversation ranges across the "lawless place" of the school bus, an extra hour of bedtime math as a happiness hack for the eldest, Beast Academy and the Hard Math for Elementary School curriculum, and how the Federal Reserve quietly pulled off a Fedwire format change with no one noticing. They get into kids learning to code, cursor and Replit unleashing creative explosions (Space Invaders clones, a chemistry-meets-math game), the tension between teaching kids to type vs. voice-driven AI workflows, and the inevitable question of when your child will out-sysadmin you. Plus: an unintentional capitalism unleashing via pesos in a Mexican market, Monopoly variants without sub-$100 settlements, the books making the rounds in their book clubs, and how parenting changes your brain.Books:Heart the Lover by Lily KingThe Correspondent by Virginia Evans (the "crotchety" letter-writing protagonist)Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke (trad-wife time-travel novel; Anne Hathaway optioned the film rights)Famesick by Lena DunhamThe Woman in Me : Britney Spears memoirGod of the Woods by Liz Moore (mentioned as a book to skip with postpartum hormones)TVFor All Mankind (Apple TV+): new Mars seasonKids' tech & educationBeast Academy (Art of Problem Solving)Hard Math for Elementary School by Glenn EllisonScratch (MIT visual programming)ReplitGoogle Colab (Jupyter notebooks for Python)CursorClaude CodeLogo programming languageFinance & engineeringIncrease: Darragh's companyFedwire: the U.S. wire systemPatrick McKenzie's Bits About Money newsletter and Complex Systems podcastPlaces & communityEdge Esmeralda: the popup village in Healdsburg, CA where the eldest demoed his Chem-Mash Lab gameBend, Oregon: where Kara & Darragh have built their home, optimized for walkabilityGamesSquatter: the Australian Monopoly-adjacent game in Christine's closetMonopoly: no introduction needed!

In episode 7's Living Leadership segment, I was joined by my long time friend, partner of our sport management program, and outstanding Trinity University alumnus (class of 2000), Terris 'T' Tiller. T is the Director of Alumni Career Engagement at Trinity and returned back home after a distinguished career on the U.S. Modern Pentathlon team and long-time team member at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. During our conversation Terris emphasizes the need for leaders to create spaces that allow others to be seen, spaces to know they are valued. He considers equity and inclusion work to be deeply embedded in his day-to-day life and sees it as a way to grow capacity for the entire organization, but he knows it starts with vulnerable leaders who seek to earn trust by being the first to trust. He models that vulnerability for us when he shares stories about his transition from life as a student to life as an Olympian and about the day he knew his competition days were over. Terris' concluding advice, to stay curious, couldn't be more powerful and perhaps never more important in our current climate. To conclude the episode, I lectured on chapter 15 of the 10th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I discuss the Inclusive Leadership concepts described and designed by Donna Chrobot-Mason and Quinetta Roberson. In the lecture I mention this research article. If you want to know about the reason inclusion and inclusive leadership matters, please read "Gendered Leadership Networks in the NCAA: Analyzing Affiliation Networks of Senior Woman Administrators and Athletic Directors" (request full text here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323505935_Gendered_Leadership_Networks_in_the_NCAA_Analyzing_Affiliation_Networks_of_Senior_Woman_Administrators_and_Athletic_Directors) I hope you enjoy the episode. Drop me a note; I'd love to hear your thoughts so I can bring them into our class.

There are many components to athletic success, from high-performance training to perfecting sport skills. But underlying every successful team is a culture that fosters an atmosphere of success. On the eve of team trials and a fall training camp at Soldier Hollow, veteran U.S. Biathlon Team athletes Kelsey Dickinson and Chloe Levins joined Heartbeat podcast host Tom Kelly for an in-depth look at the athlete-led initiative to build a values-based, positive team culture.In addition to competing on the international biathlon stage, both Dickinson and Levins have taken on leadership roles, serving as athlete representatives to both the U.S. Biathlon Board of Directors and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Quite simply, “Our role is really to represent the athlete voice in any decisions being made by US Biathlon,” said Dickinson.However, one of their most impactful roles over the last year has been their engagement with both teammates and U.S. Biathlon staff in building a recognizable team culture, including the identification of a set of values that staff and athletes can all rally around.US Biathlon ValuesRespectGritGrowth Mindset“We decided that we could all stand by these,” said Levins. “They represent who we want to be, how we want to show up as Team USA – as the staff wants to show up for the athletes, as the athletes want to show up for the staff, and the greater organization as a whole and their country.“It was a really special thing to be a part of!”The values were adopted by athletes and staff together after a series of group sessions that began at the Vuokatti training camp before last season. “We're looking at this from the perspective of emphasizing that we are a values-led organization,” sai Dickinson. “And creating those values that we can come together around and use to have discussions and support each other, and also hold each other accountable.”Want to hear more?

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Kara Radzak speaks with Dr. Travis Anderson and Dr. Eric Post about their recently published article, "Multiplying Alpha: When Statistical Tests Compound in Sports Medicine Research". Drs. Anderson and Post discuss how multiple statistical tests can inflate false-positive rates in sports medicine research, explain family-wise and experiment-wise error, and illustrate risks with a large-scale Paris Olympic Games analysis. They recommend transparency, pre-registration, correction for multiplicity, and consider Bayesian approaches to improve rigor and clinical decision-making.

I'm delighted to welcome Dr Erin Ayala to the podcast this week.Erin is a Licensed Psychologist, a certified Mental Performance Consultant and is listed as a licensed mental health provider on the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee's Mental Health Register.

On top of that, she recently co-founded a cycling team called Stamina Racing Collective which prioritises people who would traditionally struggle to find a home in cycling (especially, black, indigenous, people of colour and non-binary and trans athletes)In this conversation, we discuss the power of values, the difficult decisions she had made based on those values and her surprising definition of self-care.

It's Monday, July 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Seven Evangelicals in Columbia killed by armed group Seven bodies of Evangelical Christians, and a relative to one of the victims, were found on July 1st in a mass, shallow grave in Guaviare, Colombia, reports International Christian Concern. In April, the Frente Armando Ríos, an illegal armed group that has been known to restrict freedom of religion, summoned the eight victims to interrogate them about a rival armed group. The eight people were reported missing shortly after the interrogation. It was especially tragic because the victims were members of the Evangelical Alliance of Colombia and the Foursquare Gospel Church who were providing humanitarian aid in the area. Trump's massive trade deal with European Union Ahead of the August 1st deadline for the European Union to agree to a trade deal with the United States, President Donald Trump hammered out a major trade deal with the European Union, comprised of 27 countries, that he announced Sunday afternoon in Edinburgh, Scotland, reports RedState.com. Before the meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump pledged to change what he characterized as “a very one-sided transaction, very unfair to the United States.” TRUMP: “We've reached a deal. It's a giant deal with lots of countries. The European Union is going to agree to purchase from the United States $750 billion worth of energy. They are going to agree to invest into the United States $600 billion more than they're investing already. So, they're investing a large amount of money, but they're going to invest an additional $600 billion. “They're agreeing to open up their countries to trade at zero tariff. So, that's a very big factor. And they're agreeing to purchase a vast amount of military equipment. We are agreeing that the tariff straight across for automobiles will be a straight-across tariff of 15%. “I think it's the biggest deal ever made. Thank you very much.” The zero tariff was applicable to all aircraft and component parts, certain chemicals, certain generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, some agricultural products, natural resources and critical raw materials. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed that it was an impressive deal which was tough to negotiate, noted the Associated Press. VON DER LEYEN: “We have a trade deal between the two largest economies in the world. And it's a big deal. It's a huge deal. It will bring stability. It will bring predictability. That's very important for our businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. “The investments Mr. President just described -- that are going to go to the United States, and the purchases over there. “The European market is open. It's 450 million people. So, it's a good deal. It's a huge deal.” TRUMP: “Yeah.” VON DER LEYEN: “with tough negotiations. I knew it at the beginning, and it was indeed very tough, but we came to good conclusions with both sides. TRUMP: “We did.” VON DER LEYEN: “So again, congratulations and many thanks!” Trump didn't give a specific amount that the EU countries would spend on military equipment, saying that there wasn't a firm number in the deal, but that it would be "hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of military equipment." The agreement for the European Union to purchase $750 billion worth of energy from the United States changes the state of political affairs globally since it makes European Union countries less dependent on Russia for energy, and takes lots of money out of the pockets of Vladimir Putin and Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs. Von Der Leyen said the deal was necessary to "rebalance" trade between the European Union and the United States. Trans-identified male athletes have stolen 1,941 gold medals Trans-identified male athletes have stolen over 1,900 gold medals from women and girls, according to a recent report released by Concerned Women for America, reports The Christian Post. The conservative advocacy group's report, released earlier this month, compiled data of recorded instances dating back to the 1980s of men competing in female-only events. In addition to the 1,941 gold medals won by male athletes in women-only competitions, they also claimed nearly $500,000 in prize money by competing in women's sports. In California alone, over 521 women and girls were forced to settle for silver medals after being defeated by male athletes. According to the CWA report, men identifying as women have competed in more than 10,067 female sport events, both amateur and professional. The report also listed the national governing bodies that presided over competitions where men defeated female athletes, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association, multiple categories within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and several state intercollegiate athletic associations. Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, said, “For too long, trans-identifying males have displaced, disrupted, and injured women and girls in female sports categories. “Our research reveals the shocking truth of the matter — over 1,900 women have come in second place to men who claim to be women. This is outrageously unjust. Women and girls must have sex-protected athletics under Title IX.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, ““Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female.'?” Michigan madman stabbed 11 Walmart shoppers On Saturday afternoon, 11 people were stabbed in a Michigan Walmart before the madman was detained by a few Marines and bystanders, reports One America News. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old Bradford James Gille, is expected to face terrorism and assault charges. Gille allegedly entered the Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, at around 4:10 p.m. on Saturday, and attacked shoppers and one employee with a “folding knife” at around 4:45 p.m. in the checkout area of the store. Law enforcement responded within three minutes of an emergency 911 call, while a group of bystanders detained Gille in the parking lot. Specifically, 39-year-old Matt Kolakowski, a former U.S. Marine, had stopped at the Walmart for weekend supplies while on a family vacation when the stabbing occurred. He thought to himself, “Well, I don't got no weapon, so what am I going to do?' So, I just grabbed an empty grocery cart and just took off after him as hard as I could.” The suspect, who was overheard describing people in Walmart as evil, stabbed a man and an elderly woman while fleeing from the store. Kolakowski was eventually able to ram the suspect with the shopping cart. A pursuit ensued into the parking lot. Another Marine, Derrick Perry, who had just come from the firing range, still had his gun on his hip. When he pulled it on the stabber, the suspect dropped the knife. Planned Parenthood closes 5 California abortion mills And finally, the Planned Parenthood abortion business is closing more centers – with another 5 closing in northern California thanks to the defunding bill President Trump signed that took $300 million in taxpayer money away from the abortion giant, reports Life News. The “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California's 114 Planned Parenthood abortion mills. Ephesians 5:11 says, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” Or in this case defund them.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive claims regarding intelligence community misconduct and a sudden, early congressional recess announced by Speaker Mike Johnson. He focuses on Gabbard’s allegations that the CIA, under John Brennan, suppressed damaging intelligence about Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 election—claims that include potential criminal activity and misrepresentation of intelligence to benefit a political narrative. Brett underscores the gravity of these accusations, calling it a coordinated effort between high-level officials and the media to distort the truth.

In this compelling episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore a powerful concept: the Region Beta Paradox—a psychological phenomenon that explains why we often stay stuck in mediocre situations simply because they're “not that bad.” Whether it's an unfulfilling job, a stagnant relationship, or a comfort zone that's become a cage, the paradox reveals how moderate discomfort can be more dangerous than real adversity—because it fails to trigger change. Patrick shares personal stories, including his own “entrepreneurial accident” in the 1980s, which forced him out of complacency and into a path of purpose and growth. Steffany reflects on receiving the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee's Coach of the Year award and the grounding realization that even recognition doesn't remove life's everyday responsibilities. Together, they unpack how comfort can quietly stall ambition, and why doing the hard part first often leads to greater clarity, resilience, and results. The conversation dives deep into themes of self-responsibility, delayed gratification (with a nod to the famous “Marshmallow Test”), and the neuroscience of getting uncomfortable. They explain how growth requires challenge, not ease—and how embracing discomfort rewires the brain and strengthens personal integrity. Whether you're navigating life, career, or a mindset shift, this episode is a wake-up call to examine where you might be settling for “okay” instead of pushing for extraordinary. This is the essence of the MindShui Way—decluttering the mind, increasing self-awareness, and choosing a life of purpose over comfort.
In this insightful and down-to-earth episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the concept of grounding—what it truly means, why it's essential, and how to consciously apply it in everyday situations. Whether you're stepping onto a stage, heading into a difficult conversation, or simply feeling emotionally overwhelmed, grounding can be the missing link to clarity, confidence, and calm. Patrick opens by reflecting on the electrical principle of grounding as a metaphor for emotional and energetic stability. Just like a home needs a ground wire to safely direct energy, we too need grounding to manage stress and stay centered under pressure. Together, they explore the physical and emotional benefits of grounding—such as improved sleep, reduced inflammation, and enhanced resilience—and even share personal anecdotes, including Steffany's unforgettable brush with lightning during a camping trip, where rubber boots may have saved her life. The duo also touch on self-worth, imposter syndrome, and how deeply-rooted limiting beliefs like “I'm not worthy” can hold us back. Steffany shares her recent experience winning a prestigious award from the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee and how old beliefs tried to convince her she didn't deserve it. The conversation becomes a candid exploration of how we react to judgment—whether from others or from ourselves—and how getting grounded can help us respond with intention instead. By the end of the episode, listeners are left with a compelling reminder: grounding is not just a tool for managing energy—it's a gateway to emotional freedom, personal alignment, and empowered action.

Dan explains the potential legal and contractual hurdles, including the possibility of arbitration, and the implications for the NBA's broadcasting landscape. Next, they cover the new lawsuit filed by the Olympic and Paralympic Committee against PRIME, the energy drink owned by Logan Paul and KSI. The lawsuit claims PRIME infringed on the committee's trademarks by using phrases and symbols associated with the Olympics, such as "three-time Olympic gold medalist" and "repping Team USA." The trio discusses the legal intricacies of trademark enforcement and the potential repercussions for Prime. Odell Beckham Jr.'s recent legal battle with Nike also gets attention. Despite Beckham's celebratory social media post claiming victory, Nike's statement asserts that all of Beckham's claims were decided against him without any monetary award. This confusing narrative underscores the importance of clear legal communications and the broader implications for athlete endorsement deals. The conversation then shifts to a humorous yet important trademark dispute between Lamar Jackson and Troy Aikman over the word "eight." Jackson blocked Aikman's attempt to trademark "eight," claiming potential consumer confusion with his own trademarks like "Era 8" and "You 8 Yet." The group discusses the complexities of trademark law in sports and the likelihood of a coexistence agreement. Bobby shares his insights into the Johnson vs. NCAA case as Trey Johnson, a former Villanova football player, along with other student-athletes, filed a class action lawsuit against the NCAA and several universities, arguing they should be classified as employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that student-athletes could potentially qualify as employees, which could have major financial and compliance implications for colleges. The case was remanded to the district court to apply the new economic realities test, setting a precedent for evaluating student-athletes' employment status. Mike shares his excitement for Netflix's upcoming "Untold" documentary series, which includes episodes on the Michigan sign-stealing scandal and other intriguing sports stories. Bobby recommends watching the Giants' "Hard Knocks" series for its in-depth look at front office operations and player evaluations, wrapping up a packed episode of sports law updates and insights.
