Staff leadership might be the most overlooked skill in coaching, and one of the toughest. TJ, Sam, and Lisa explore what it takes for an assistant coach to bring value and grow, and what head coaches owe their staffs in return. Along the way they tackle why communication sits at the root of nearly every staff breakdown, why you should hire people you can "do life with," and how to correct a coach mid-practice without undermining them in front of the team. They're candid about moody staffs, owning your mistakes, and building alignment. Send us a Message.

Most coaches are wired to compete, and that ambition can either fuel a career or quietly hijack it. In this episode, TJ and Sam explore how to honor your drive without losing sight of the impact you're making today. Using Dusty May's recent press conference as a jumping-off point, they work through the difference between contentment and complacency, and how gratitude eventually opens the next door. They share from their own coaching journeys and life changes reshape priorities over time. It's a conversation to catch yourself when you're thinking more about what's next than what's in front of you.Show Notes:Ambition helps or hindersDusty May's telling press conferenceImpact over climbing laddersWhich economy are you focused onWrong ladder, wrong roofContent is not complacentBe great where you're atGratitudeShifting prioritiesExperience and humilityLiving the dreamToday's opportunitiesHigh standards fuel transformationGetting the next door to openSend us a Message.

Avant que les marques nationales ne s'emparent de la tendance protéinée,Mickaël l'avait déjà mise en rayon.En pain de mie.Et en marque distributeur Carrefour.Tout est parti de quelques vidéos sur TikTok.Des sportifs qui parlent protéines, en yaourt, en shake…Et Mickaël qui se demande :“Pourquoi pas le pain ?”Il lance une piste, challenge un fournisseur, embarque sa direction.Un an plus tard : le produit est en magasin.Et les industriels commencent à se réveiller.La MDD, quand elle est bien pensée, va plus vite, capte mieux, agit plus directement...Dans cet épisode, on ne parle pas que d'innovation.Pour vous donner l'eau à la bouche:– la double pression du chef de produit MDD (concurrence interne ET externe)– la complexité de son rôle, entre marketing, commercial et terrain– la perception encore floue qu'on a de la MDD dans le secteur– la force de conviction nécessaire pour embarquer toute une organisation– et même de leadership et d'agilité, dans une machine aussi grande que CarrefourSi vous pensez que la MDD est juste un sujet de prix...cet échange va sérieusement élargir votre regard.Vous souhaitez me retrouver ailleurs qu'en podcast?Vous avez l'embarras du choix!

What if your practices could build basketball IQ, sharpen habits, and raise engagement all at once? In this episode, Sam and TJ break down how to use a games-based and constraints-led approach to make sure what your team works on in practice actually transfers to games. They share specific games you can steal — from five-point plays and golden guns to weak-hand assist rules — plus the coaching framework behind them. TJ also unpacks the master-teaching skill of "loading and unloading" constraints so players are challenged without being overwhelmed. Whether you coach seventh graders or college players, this conversation will change how you design your next practice.Show NotesWhy practice design builds cultureTJ's freshman year shaped his philosophyCoaching today's "epic learner"Fun and winning aren't oppositesEngagement drives retention and improvementFilter every idea through your teamKirby Smart's lesson on evolving practicesBeware the copycat coaching trapPick three habits to be elite atGames that check multiple boxesLet players choose the five-point playEmpowering players builds basketball IQThe whistle is the teacherDon't remove yourself from the gameTie games to the Key 5 BlueprintBuild habits like the "peek" ruleLoading and unloading constraints properlyRight dosage beats more rulesUse point values to create gravityCoaches should be learning, tooSend us a Message.

Elle dirige aujourd'hui les ventes chez Florette, un acteur incontournable de l'agroalimentaire et de la grande distribution.Caroline Laurent a fait ses armes chez Danone, qu'elle qualifie encore de "boîte fondatrice".Et pourtant, quand elle parle de son métier dans la grande distribution, elle ne commence jamais par les chiffres.Elle commence par l'humain."Ce qui me fait vibrer, c'est la gestion des hommes au service du business."Un parcours marqué aussi par un détour en RH, une parenthèse qu'elle considère précieuse.Elle aurait pu être perçue comme "trop".Trop spontanée. Trop entière. Trop centrée sur les autres.Mais aujourd'hui, ce "trop" est devenu sa force."J'ai appris à composer avec ce que je suis.

Every coach preaches toughness and confidence — but how do we actually define and teach them? In this episode, TJ and Sam dig into the five mental components of a player's mindset: approach, confidence, composure, toughness, and competitive greatness. You'll hear the lion vs. sparrow mentality, the NATO principle (not attached to outcome), and a simple 30-year coaching test for spotting your toughest players. If you want a real edge that 80% of teams ignore, give this one a listen.Show Notes:Why mindset separates special teamsFive mental components coaches must teachHabits drive a consistent approachResponses vs. reactions: decide aheadLion vs. sparrow mentality explainedPreparation plus quality thinking equals confidenceStop tying identity to made shotsComposure starts with the coachNATO: not attached to outcomeTransition defense reveals true toughnessDefine toughness, don't just preach itCompetitive greatness starts in unseen hoursSend us a Message.

Was De'Aaron Fox's blocked layup at the end of Game 4 a bad decision, or are we all just being couch coaches with the benefit of slow-motion replay? Sam and TJ use that exact moment — plus the late double team on Brunson and San Antonio's third-quarter three-point barrage — to dig into one of the most debated topics in coaching: how much time should you actually spend on situational basketball? They get into building "non-timeout calls" to change the flow of a game, why shot selection (not just execution) wins and loses close games, and why coaching your own emotional response might matter more than any late-game playbook. Whether you're running a youth program or a college staff, this episode will change how you think about practice planning for crunch time.Show Notes:De'Aaron Fox's blocked layup decisionCouch coaching vs. real-time decisionsThe Spurs' 29-point collapseShot selection during big runsDoubling Brunson late in the gameBoxing out and rebounding assignmentsHow much to script end-of-game situationsBuilding non-timeout calls to shift momentumCoaching player mindset under pressureCoaching your own emotional regulationProcess-oriented vs. results-oriented coachingKnowing your team's late-game identityPGC Courtside Coaching Clinic announcementSend us a Message.

"Le vrai pouvoir en grande distribution ne se joue plus en centrale."C'est probablement la phrase la plus importante de mon échange avec Gérald Strycharz, fondateur d'Armada.Parce qu'une fois les négociations terminées… Tout commence.Et c'est là que tout se complique.Gérald a mis un chiffre sur ce décalage : La proxi et le drive représentent 20 % du CA des industriels. Mais seulement 1 % du temps terrain des forces de vente.1 %.Dans cet épisode, on parle sans filtre :De la centralisation des enseignes et ce qu'elle révèle vraimentDu rôle des chefs de secteur aujourd'hui et pourquoi le métier se transformeDe quand et pourquoi externaliser sa force de venteDe la négociation comme expertise à part entière, et pourquoi il vaut mieux ne pas y aller seulDes marques d'influenceurs qui rentrent en enseigne en 6 semaines là où d'autres mettent 18 moisEpisode plein de bon sens....Episode en collaboration avec ARMADAVous souhaitez me retrouver ailleurs qu'en podcast?Vous avez l'embarras du choix!

Ses parents étaient agriculteurs bio pionniers dans les années 80 et farouchement anti-grande distribution. 30 ans plus tard, Manuel est au cœur de la machine pour changer le système de l'intérieur.C'est l'histoire d'un choix inverse.Plutôt que de "déserter" ou de critiquer de l'extérieur, Manuel a décidé d'endosser le costume de la transition là où l'impact est massif : dans les rayons où des millions de Français font leurs courses.Pour lui, on ne prend pas un poste en RSE. On l'endosse. Cela demande des convictions de fer pour convaincre un acheteur que l'arrêt des fraises en décembre est une décision politique rentable.On a parlé de la réalité du terrain :* Le poids de la directive CSRD qui change la structure des équipes.* Pourquoi le Nutriscore a gagné grâce à la pression des concurrents (et non l'inverse).* Son message aux jeunes diplômés qui hésitent à rejoindre les "gros" paquebots.Si vous pensez que la grande distribution est incapable de pivoter, cet épisode va bousculer vos certitudes.Parce que le changement ne viendra pas des tribunes, mais de ceux qui acceptent de mettre les mains dans le "carrelage".Merci Manuel pour cette transparence totale.Un épisode toujours Sans filtre avec beaaaaucoup d'amour pour le commerce.Vous souhaitez me retrouver ailleurs qu'en podcast?Vous avez l'embarras du choix!

Bon, on va se dire les termes..On ne manque pas de data. On manque de décisions.On croule sous les colonnes Excel, les dashboards en temps réel et les panels.Pourtant, en magasin, le doute persiste souvent.Puis, j'ai croisé Élodie Memin.Ca m'a mis un coup!Élodie, c'est un parcours qui force le respect :Ses débuts chez les Mousquetaires en marketing.Le conseil pour des géants comme Mustela ou Lindt.La refonte de concepts chez Système U.Le terrain pur en GMS chez Coca-Cola.La structuration du Catman dans la pharma.Et depuis 2019, la création du département Strategic & Customer Insights chez Lidl France.Mais au-delà de ce CV impressionnant, ce qui m'a frappée, c'est sa richesse intérieure. Une forme de spiritualité qui infuse sa vision de la donnée.Elle a réussi ce tour de force : transformer les études, cet univers parfois perçu comme austère ou déconnecté, en un véritable outil d'éclairage stratégique pour le COMEX.Sa mission ? Passer d'une enseigne pilotée par l'exécution à une marque pilotée par la compréhension du consommateur.Ou comment, comme elle me l'a dit (j'ai adoré la métaphore)Créer des « partitions de musique » où l'insight donne le ton et le design joue l'instrument.Pour que, demain matin, on arrête de compiler pour enfin décider..C'est beau!C'est en ayant ce genre de discussion que je me dis tous les jours à quel point j'ai la chance, de façon très égoïste (oupsi) de faire ce métier…Mais vous partager cette pépite est encore plus grisant!Alors ne perdez pas cette chance d'écouter cet échange.Élodie, on se reverra.

Sur le papier, tout le monde est d'accord : Le circuit de la proxi explose.Les usages changent. Les marques doivent y aller.Mais dans la réalité...Impossible de couvrir correctement 12 000 points de vente.Trop de magasins. Trop petits. Trop dispersés,Et surtout : Un coût de visite difficile à rentabiliser avec une force de vente classique.Résultat : on y va à moitié, ou on y va pas.Christophe m'a partagé une approche intéressante :Arrêter de vouloir appliquer les modèles de l'hypermarché,Et accepter une autre logique.La proxi, c'est de la « vente flash ». 5 à 10 minutes pour convaincre un gérant qui fait tout : caisse, mise en rayon, commandes. Ici, on ne cherche pas à refaire le monde, on cherche à rentrer « 2 codes ».Et ça marche. Un produit bien implanté en proxi a 78 % de chances d'être encore là un an plus tard.C'est le circuit le plus fidèle, si on sait l'aborder avec agilité.Le modèle de Christophe ?Passer par une communauté d'auto-entrepreneurs pour diviser le coût de la visite par 3 par rapport à un vendeur interne.C'est super malin!Christophe, c'est 30 ans de bouteille (Danone, Médiaperformance) et une vision du terrain qui force le respect.Il a cette capacité à simplifier l'exécution sans jamais perdre de vue la réalité du commerçant.Encore une occasion d'écouter un échange passionnant....Que je vous recommande sans plus attendre!Merci Christophe pour ton temps.Episode sponsorisé par WinminuteVous souhaitez me retrouver ailleurs qu'en podcast?Vous avez l'embarras du choix!

Il est 14h43.Je suis assise entre Séverine et Philippe.D'un côté, le siège, la stratégie, la vision nationale.De l'autre, le carrelage, l'odeur du pain, la réalité d'un magasin à Bagnères-de-Luchon.Chez Intermarché, j'ai découvert un mot : le binôme.Séverine apporte la technique.Philippe apporte le terrain.Et au milieu, il y a les PME.Quand j'entends “grande distribution”, je pense à la puissance.Puis je tends le micro.Et je découvre autre chose.Une phrase de Philippe me reste :« Je ne veux pas les affoler. Je veux qu'ils réussissent. »Je vois passer beaucoup de PME qui visent le national très vite.Les 2 000 points de vente.Sur le terrain, tout se joue ailleurs.Un colisage mal pensé.Une logistique fragile.Une présence commerciale insuffisante.Et tout se bloque.Dans cet échange, j'ai compris une chose simple :une PME avance quand elle tient dans le temps.Quelques magasins., des retours terrain, des ajustements, puis une région.Séverine et Philippe sont clairs :la force se construit d'abord au local.Comprendre un chef de rayon.Observer le linéaire.Écouter ce qui ne se voit pas dans les chiffres.Le commerce rappelle vite une règle :la guerre se gagne sur le carrelage.C'est ce que j'ai voulu décrypter dans cet épisode.Vous souhaitez me retrouver ailleurs qu'en podcast?Vous avez l'embarras du choix!

20 lois en 30 ans pour encadrer la grande distribution.Résultat ? On n'a jamais eu autant de défiance dans les rayons.Loi Galland, Egalim 1, 2, 3.À chaque fois, la même croyance :Le droit va réparer ce que le commerce n'arrive plus à faire.Sauf que.En échangeant avec Philippe Varloud, une phrase m'a frappée par sa justesse :« Trop de réglementation mène à la déresponsabilisation. »Et quand cette phrase vient de quelqu'un qui cumule+40 ans de grande distribution,un parcours chez Danone et Panzani,la création de sa propre PME,et aujourd'hui l'accompagnement quotidien de dirigeants de PME…On écoute différemment!Son constat est clair:On encadre les prix, les promos, les conditions commerciales.Et pendant ce temps-là, on oublie l'essentiel :le sens du commerce.Quand un industriel passe plus de temps avec son service juridique qu'avec son client,il y a un problème systémique.Philippe cite un contre-exemple éclairant : C'est qui le patron ?.Un modèle de construction collective, rationnelle et transparente,où producteurs, distributeurs et consommateurs se parlent enfin.Moins d'opposition, et plus de responsabilité.Et, au bout du compte, plus de valeur partagée.Alors oui, ça peut sembler idéaliste..Mais Philippe y croit pour 2026!Pensez vous qu'on sortira un jour de cette guerre juridique pour revenir à un commerce collaboratif ?Vous souhaitez me retrouver ailleurs qu'en podcast?Vous avez l'embarras du choix!

Running twice a day sounds serious, but is it actually right for you? This week, Zoë and TJ dig into the full science of doubles: what they are, what they're definitively not, and how to know if you're actually a candidate. Plus, a round of listener-submitted Hot or Nots and a great question about why early morning runs feel so much harder.First up, meet Coach James Nance, a multi-sport specialist who coaches cyclists, runners, and skiers through big goals without burning them out. He's based in Fort Collins and has a knack for athletes navigating injury cycles, overtraining, and RED-S. If any of that sounds like your situation, reach out at microcosmcoaching@gmail.com.Then, a deep-dive Hot or Not round featuring listener submissions: inversion tables (the effects last minutes, not months), muscle scraping (the original theory has been pretty much debunked), CBD and THC cream (weak evidence, real anti-doping risk), and Superfeet insoles (a rare instance where the research actually delivers, prefab orthotics perform as well as custom at a fraction of the cost).Before the main topic, TJ answers a listener's question about why Zone 2 feels brutally hard at 5 a.m., and it turns out it's not just you. Core temperature, sleep inertia, cortisol, glycogen state, darkness, and cold all compound to inflate your RPE before you've even hit the first mile. There's real science here, and real solutions.Then: doubles. An elite running a morning threshold session and an afternoon shakeout is doing something fundamentally different than a recreational runner cramming two hard efforts into a day. Zoë and TJ break down the physiology of why doubles work when they work (hint: PGC-1α, mitochondrial biogenesis, and aerobic signaling), who's actually a candidate, the gray zone trap, the ego trap, and why energy availability is non-negotiable if you're going to add volume this way. Bottom line: doubles are a tool, not a trophy.

Why perfectionism, over-doing it, and overworking is your default loops? Let's talk about it! So many women pride themselves on being disciplined, productive, and capable, yet underneath the constant doing, something feels off. This hustle culture which so often ropes in imposter syndrome and overworking feels like a hamster wheel. How do you get off?In this episode, we explore the real energy behind self-doubt, and how it quietly disguises itself as perfectionism, overworking, over-preparing, and “just staying busy.” These habits often look responsible or ambitious on the surface, but they're frequently rooted in a deeper need to feel safe, worthy, or validated.I break down how self-doubt embeds itself in the nervous system, why it prefers action over stillness, and how it keeps you exhausting yourself instead of trusting yourself. I also share four powerful energetic ways of being to begin loosening doubt at the root by restoring inner safety and authority.This conversation is an invitation to stop proving and start embodying. To recognize when productivity is protection. And to choose a more honest, sustainable way of moving forward.******Do you feel called to join the Phoenix Goddess Collective? Let's talk about it.

Discover how fasting extends lifespan, lowers insulin and blood sugar, reduces inflammation, regenerates gut cells, and promotes autophagy. Learn the science-backed benefits of fasting and how to implement strategic fasting protocols for metabolic health, cellular repair, and longevity. Nurse Doza breaks down when and how to use fasting as a powerful health tool. FEATURED PRODUCT Mitochondriac, featuring resveratrol with quercetin and methylated forms, is designed to support mitochondrial function and mimic the beneficial effects of fasting. Research shows resveratrol activates the same pathways as fasting—AMPK, SIRT1, and PGC-1α—promoting autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular repair. Pairing Mitochondriac with your fasting protocol enhances the metabolic benefits discussed in this episode, making fasting more sustainable and effective for longevity and energy production.

So many women are doing all the “right” things: healing, manifesting, investing in growth and still feel stuck when it comes to love, money, and fully living their purpose. We were indoctrinated and conditioned to thing we need to do more, be more consistent, be more hustle-minded, do it right-er, lol. It's actually none of that.It's survival consciousness running beneath the surface and we get to deprogramme all that.In this episode, I name five major survival codes that live in the subconscious and energy body and quietly shape how we relate, earn, choose, and play small even when we deeply desire more.We explore how these codes form, how they show up differently in love, wealth, and purpose, and why willpower alone can't override them. This is about awareness, embodiment, and learning to recognize when survival is driving your decisions instead of sovereignty. Then I give 5 anchors that will help you enter the deprogramming while loving on yourself.******Do you feel called to join the Phoenix Goddess Collective? Let's talk about it.

Most people think fear is what stops them.But fear is loud. Obvious. Temporary. Even necessary at times and most times, transmutable.Doubt is quieter, sneakier, and far more powerful in blocking your manifestations.In this episode, we explore how doubt operates as a subtle energetic blocker that drains momentum, erodes self-trust, and keeps you circling your potential long after fear has passed. I break down the energetic difference between fear and doubt, why doubt embeds itself in the nervous system, and how it quietly shapes your choices, language, and capacity to move forward.We talk about transmuting both fear and doubt so that you more deeply operate in your authority, and embodied truth.This is an invitation to stop fighting fear and start dissolving the doubt beneath it.Share this with a sister who you know needs this power in their lives. Let's elevate together.******❤️‍

We're talking sildenafil for longevity, healthspan, and performance. The “little blue pill” has a reputation as an erectile dysfunction drug, but when you actually look at the mechanism and the data, it's doing way more than that.I've been a proponent of low-dose Cialis for a long time, and I still am. But lately I've been experimenting with rotating between Cialis and Viagra because I notice I can build a tolerance to Cialis over time. It still works, but I don't feel the performance benefits as strongly unless I push the dose higher. What I've found is that going four weeks on low-dose Cialis, then four weeks on low-dose Viagra, seems to keep me more responsive overall while still giving me the benefits that matter for longevity.In this episode, I break down the real mechanism. Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that amplifies nitric oxide signaling and raises cGMP throughout the body. That means systemic vasodilation, improved endothelial function, better blood flow to organs, and anti-thrombotic effects through reduced platelet activation. And the downstream effects get even more interesting. We're talking mitochondrial signaling through PKG, potential ischemic preconditioning effects, PGC-1α and mitochondrial biogenesis, AMPK activation, and dampening inflammatory pathways like NF-kB. This is why I think sildenafil deserves a seat at the longevity table, not just a spot in the performance category.Then we get into the human data and what I think is most compelling. Large datasets show associations with lower rates of cardiovascular events and lower all-cause mortality in PDE5 inhibitor users. We talk heart attacks, strokes, endothelial repair, and why this class may act like an exercise mimetic for certain people by improving hemodynamics and oxygen delivery. We also cover pulmonary benefits, including its FDA-approved use for pulmonary arterial hypertension, and why that matters for aging lungs, sleep apnea-related pulmonary issues, and even high-altitude physiology.The brain section is the one that makes most people stop and rethink everything. There are observational datasets suggesting meaningfully lower Alzheimer's and dementia incidence in sildenafil users, plus plausible mechanisms tied to cerebral blood flow, synaptic plasticity, inflammation reduction, and mitochondrial support inside the brain. I'm not saying it's a magic bullet. I am saying it's one of the more interesting repurposing conversations in longevity right now.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission has proposed major changes to the 2026–27 hunting seasons — and this is the window where hunter feedback matters. In this bonus episode, Beau Martonik breaks down the proposed changes and explains why he believes moving regular firearms deer season one week earlier puts rifles deeper into the rut, increases vulnerability of mature bucks, and could hurt the quality of deer hunting PA has improved over the last 20 years. He also covers the ripple effect that moves firearms bear season earlier, colliding with what many consider the best week of archery deer hunting. This is still proposal-stage — not final — which means hunters need to voice their opinions the right way (not just in social comments). Beau also shares a quick Instagram poll: 678 responses — 96% opposed / 4% supported. Be respectful. Be clear. And make sure your feedback reaches the Board. Links: PGC Contact Us / Board comment path + January Meeting Agenda Here's a copy/paste email template that you can use to send to the board, if you agree with my thoughts. Dear Board, I'm asking the Board to keep the regular firearms deer opener after Thanksgiving and avoid moving it earlier into peak rut activity. I'm concerned this will increase vulnerability of mature bucks during peak breeding movement and could reduce the quality and age structure of bucks, which has improved over the last two decades. I also oppose moving the firearms bear season to what is widely considered the best week of archery deer hunting, as this will increase pressure and reduce opportunities for archery hunters. If the goal is youth participation, I support recruitment efforts that don't sacrifice the core season structure—for example, expanded mentored/youth opportunities, targeted weekends, or other options that improve access without shifting the statewide firearms timing. In Pennsylvania and beyond, I believe access plays a bigger role in losing hunters who have purchased licenses for years. When we lose those people, we lose those mentors for the youth/new hunters. I commend the PGC for acquiring new state game lands and helping with access, but I believe that it will be difficult to keep up with the amount of private land that was previously accessible through permission, to leases, amongst other reasons. Thank you for considering hunter feedback. ⁠Sign up for the 2026 Mountain Bucks Scouting Camp!⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@eastmeetswesthunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠East Meets West Outdoors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Beau Martonik - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon Influencer Page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textMitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is a little-known but essential pathway that supports energy production and metabolic health.Summary: Dr. Sara Nowinski explains how mitochondria not only burn fuels to make ATP but also synthesize their own fatty acids inside the matrix; this conserved pathway produces lipoic acid (an essential enzyme cofactor) and longer-chain fats required for proper assembly of the electron transport chain, and disrupting it impairs respiration, glucose handling, and insulin sensitivity while enhancing it appears protective against obesity and heart injury.About the guest: Sara Nowinski, PhD is an assistant professor in the Department of Metabolism and Nutritional Programming at Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where since 2021 she has led a lab focused on mitochondrial biology and the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mitoFAS) pathway.Topics Discussed:Basic mitochondrial energy production: food → pyruvate/fatty acids → acetyl-CoA → TCA cycle → electron transport chain → ATPMitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mitoFAS): a bacterial-like pathway that builds fats on an acyl carrier protein inside the matrixLipoic acid: an 8-carbon fatty acid made only by mitoFAS, covalently attached to key enzymes (e.g., pyruvate dehydrogenase); cannot be rescued by supplements for cofactor useLonger mitoFAS products (14–16 carbons) stabilize electron transport chain assembly factors, explaining why pathway loss collapses respiration even when lipoic acid is intactKnocking out mitoFAS causes embryonic lethality, insulin resistance, poor glucose homeostasis, and a rare neurodegenerative disorder (MEPAN syndrome)Overexpressing the mitochondrial acyl carrier protein protects mice from diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiac injuryMuscle cell differentiation fails without mitoFAS, hinting at a role in tissue development and repairPractical Takeaways:Supplemental lipoic acid can act as an antioxidant but cannot replace the lipoic acid your mitochondria must make themselves for enzyme function.Severe impairment of mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disruption, suggesting mitochondrial health (beyond just biogenesis) matters for glucose control.Lifestyle or future therapies that boost overall mitochondrial function (e.g., exercise via PGC-1α) may indirectly support tSupport the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Jason mentions the IEEE 1547 standard, which is gaining traction and addresses power quality issues in large wind or solar farms. Installation and Compatibility of Syncrotec MDX Jason explains the installation process of the Syncrotec MDX, which involves working with the manufacturer of the switchgear to set the timing of the unit. The device can be installed remotely, and PGC can dial it in slightly on-site to ensure it is ready to go. Jason highlights the agnostic nature of the Syncrotec MDX, which can be used with various switchgear manufacturers and voltage levels. The Syncrotec MDX can handle voltage levels up to 1100 KV, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Future Prospects and Additional...

It's the Phat Girl Chronicles Anniversary Month, and this episode is all about honoring the journey, the growth, and the legacy.From one mic on BlogTalkRadio to a full-blown media brand and unapologetic movement, PGC has become a voice for the bold, the brilliant, and the beautifully unfiltered.In this special episode, Leo Ra'Chel & The Squad reflect on:• 5 years of The Phat Girl Chronicles podcast• 6 years of PGC Media in motion• 14 years of creative evolution and cultural impactWe're sharing lessons, laughter, behind-the-scenes moments, and giving flowers to the day-ones, the guests, the team, and YOU—the tribe that made all of this possible.

At the Glass Art Society's (GAS) 2025 conference, Trailblazing New Traditions, held in May in Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas, Zachary Layhew and Hoseok Youn presented a unique collaborative glassblowing demonstration where Youn's Venetian fantasy vessels intersected with the baroque, cubist influences of Layhew's practice. The artists shared their unique approaches to traditional techniques and designs, both makers transforming the context of tradition through the lens of their original personalities. The result was a figurative sculpture constructed from historical goblets and decorative stemware, combined with the line patterns of cane. Goblets and cane are common and popular in the glass tradition, but this demonstration showed the community a creative and innovative way to elevate those methods to new frontiers while paying respect to their origins. Layhew started his glass career at the age of 14 by taking an introductory intensive at the Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) called Teen Bootcamp. He quickly fell in love with the material and the community surrounding it. Through the years, the artist has focused on his technical skills in glass and developing his personal voice through sculpture. His work revolves around a combination of glassblowing, cold working, and then further reheating, manipulating, and assembling the pieces.  Working as an artist and instructor at PGC, Layhew assists other Pittsburgh artists in his spare time. He will teach Lines, Rings, and Patterned Things at Foci, the Minnesota Center for Glass Arts, from November 12 through 16. In December, the artist has a residency at Keystone College, Factoryville, Pennsylvania, and through the rest of 2025 and 2026, he will teach eight-week classes at PGC. Additionally, Layhew creates production work that is sold online and in person.  A South Korean glass artist specializing in glassblowing, Youn holds a BFA degree in glass and ceramics from Namseoul University, Cheon Ahn, Korea, and earned an MFA in glass from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois. He has taught at Bowling Green State University as an adjunct professor, was a studio artist at Toledo Museum of Art and a studio lead at Belger Arts in Kansas City, Missouri.  Youn's artistic practice focuses on Venetian traditional glass, figurative sculptures, and photography. He is inspired by heroes and villains based on pop culture and toys. His work reflects the image of his ideal successful self, combining crystal clear glass, elaborate vessel forms, intricate stemware, and abundant details. In 2026, he will teach a workshop at Pilchuck Glass School, session 7.

In this episode of the ATLVets Speaker Series, we sit down with Zack Miller, CEO of Patriot Growth Capital (PGC), to explore the intersection of veteran empowerment, private equity, and long-term legacy.Zack shares his journey from the advertising and startup world to launching a private equity firm dedicated to supporting veterans and their families through entrepreneurship by acquisition. Together with ATLVets, PGC is reshaping how veterans transition into ownership, leadership, and wealth creation.This episode dives into:The Barriers to Entrepreneurship – Fear, capital, mentorship, and “analysis paralysis” that hold veterans back—and how to overcome them.The Dream Work Exercise – Why defining vision, values, and family goals is the starting point for every veteran entrepreneur.Veteran Families as Operators – Expanding opportunities for spouses, siblings, and children to step into meaningful roles and ownership.Defense Tech Accelerator – The vision for a Veteran Center of Excellence in Atlanta, combining human performance, technology, and dual-use innovation.The Bigger Picture – PGC's commitment to impacting 1 million veteran families over the next decade.

Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur is challenging for anyone, but military veterans face unique hurdles despite possessing extraordinary skills for business ownership. In this eye-opening conversation, Zach Miller reveals how his company is changing the game for veterans seeking financial independence.Growing up as the child of two Marines shaped Zach's disciplined approach to life, carrying him through careers in sports, music, advertising, and eventually high-powered digital sales roles where he helped orchestrate multiple company exits worth hundreds of millions. When COVID hit, his innovative digital platform saved $105 million in collegiate sports sponsorships, cementing his reputation as someone who thrives under pressure and creates solutions where others see only problems.What's truly fascinating is how Zach connects his personal journey to his mission at Patriot Growth Capital. Rather than leaving veterans to start businesses from scratch, PGC acquires established, profitable companies and creates a structured pathway for veterans to learn, operate, and ultimately own these businesses. Their "Practical MBA" approach pays veterans a six-figure salary while teaching them every aspect of running a successful operation over a five-year period.The statistics Zach shares are striking: only 5% of America's 6.2 million small businesses are veteran-owned, yet these companies employ over 7 million Americans. By increasing veteran business ownership, PGC isn't just changing individual lives—they're potentially creating an economic engine that benefits communities nationwide.Whether you're a business owner considering your exit strategy, an investor looking for purpose alongside profits, or someone fascinated by innovative business models that create multiple winners, this conversation offers valuable insights into how entrepreneurship can be structured to maximize success while serving those who've served our country.

This week on the Marathon Running Podcast, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of high-mileage training with a true expert in the field: Hugo van der Broeck (who is on instagram as @run_coach_hugo) shares a unique lens through which to examine the complexities of running significant weekly mileage. In this episode, we leave no stone unturned, starting with a clear understanding of what "high mileage" means for the average runner striving to balance training with the demands of daily life. We delve into the critical importance of injury prevention, discussing common ailments like knee problems, shin splints, and Achilles tendinitis, and how to mitigate these risks while increasing volume. Hugo expertly explains the primary physiological adaptations that occur with consistent high mileage, including a reduction in resting heart rate, an increase in the production of mitochondria and capillaries, and enhanced ATP synthesis. We also discuss the often-overlooked role of strength training, the strategic implementation of mileage increases, the potential benefits and drawbacks of double run days (including the PGC-1alpha connection and immune system considerations), and Hugo's holistic approach to preventing overtraining through sleep, nutrition, nature, and support. As a bonus, we even tackle the intriguing topic of fasted running and its appropriate application in your training. Prepare for an in-depth and incredibly informative conversation that will equip you with the knowledge to approach high-mileage training with confidence and intelligence.We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Discount Codes for Runners: https://www.runswag.com·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/speedstriders ·  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast

In this deep-dive episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski takes you beyond the basics to explore why mitochondrial function is the true driver of health—and disease. After contrasting centralized vs. decentralized health paradigms, he reveals the root causes and systemic effects of mitochondrial dysfunction, using vivid analogies like “rocks in a river” to explain electron leakage and oxidative stress. From there, Mike unpacks the Six Pillars of Mitochondrial Health: 1. Energy Production – ATP synthesis & structured “EZ” water batteries 2. Biogenesis – Growing new mitochondria via PGC-1α, NRF1/2, TFAM 3. Mitophagy – Recycling damaged mitochondria through PINK1/Parkin 4. Fusion/Fission – Dynamic balancing of mitochondrial networks 5. Oxidative Stress Protection – Internal and supplemental antioxidants 6. Light Interaction – How red/NIR light supercharges bioenergetics   Along the way, learn why methylene blue and red light therapy are synergistic brain- and mitochondria-boosters, why proper breathing and oxygen availability are non-negotiable, and how lifestyle tactics—from grounding to sun exposure—tie back to cellular power. Mike closes with a sneak peek at an upcoming all-in-one mitochondrial optimization product designed to tackle all six pillars at once.
