On this episode, we put Jalen Brunson under the microscope and ask a simple question: at their absolute best, who would you rather have? Brunson goes head-to-head with Tyrese Haliburton, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, and Chris Paul as we debate where the Knicks superstar truly belongs among the elite. Plus, we break down the eight MLB contenders that should be pushing all their chips in for Tarik Skubal, and examine which teams make the most sense as trade partners. We also go through every major National League and American League contender with a Why They Win, Why They Lose outlook heading into the stretch run, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that could define October. Finally, we shift to the NFL and rank our top 10 offenses and top 10 defenses entering the season, including some surprise risers and a few powerhouse teams that could dominate on both sides of the ball. From Brunson's place among NBA stars to MLB playoff races and NFL rankings, this episode covers it all. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Why do our hearts become guarded... and how can we recognize it before it turns into disconnection?In this episode of Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures, we explore what happens when a soft heart begins to harden. Most of us don't intentionally become cynical, guarded, or emotionally distant. More often, we're simply trying to protect ourselves from disappointment, hurt, or vulnerability.Through personal reflection, quiet leadership insight, and the wisdom of the Enneagram, we examine how protective patterns can slowly shape our relationships, leadership, and view of the world.You'll discover how past experiences can influence the stories you tell yourself, why self-protection often feels wise, and how awareness can help you stay open without becoming naïve.In this episode, you'll learn:Why hearts often harden gradually rather than suddenlyThe difference between healthy protection and emotional disconnectionHow disappointment, criticism, and unmet expectations affect our opennessHow the Enneagram reveals the stories and assumptions behind our protective patternsWhy quiet leaders often carry hurt privatelyReflection questions to help you identify where you may have become more guardedIf you've ever found yourself becoming more cautious, withdrawn, skeptical, or hesitant to trust, this episode offers a gentle invitation to explore what may be happening beneath the surface... and how to move toward greater openness and connection.Perfect for quiet leaders, Enneagram enthusiasts, thoughtful women, and anyone seeking emotional growth, self-awareness, and healthier relationships.Join us for our next Quiet Strength Gathering!—

There are motorcycle-industry professionals who need an introduction and those who don't. Scot Harden is in the latter category. From Baja to the boardroom, this hall-of-fame racer and business leader has been there and done that. He likely designed the proverbial T-shirt, too. To his credit, however, Harden is quick to praise those who guided him on his 50-plus-year two-wheel journey. Harden got his start racing off-road, beating the best in the desert near his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. “Back then, Barstow to Vegas was the biggest race in the world,” he says. “It started just east of Barstow, California, and went all the way to Las Vegas—a 170-mile point-to-point hare and hound. In 1973, there were 3,000 entries. I got third overall, first 250cc Expert.” Decades of top-level international competition helped Harden develop models and programs that quite literally transformed the sport. Those successes aside, Harden, who will soon celebrate his 70th birthday, isn't resting on his many laurels. “Motorcycling can't be taken for granted,” he cautions. “There are a lot of challenges, and we need to be more proactive.” See what Scot is up to now at harden-offroad.com Connect with Us:Website: www.driventoridepodcast.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/driventoridepodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/driventorideEmail:hello@driventoridepodcast.com

In this episode of MSP Business School, host Brian Doyle engages in a dynamic discussion with John Harden, a pioneer in the AI realm within the MSP industry. With an impressive 17-year tenure in the sector, John Harden brings an expert perspective on the rapid evolution of AI technology. As MSPs grapple with AI's practical applications and benefits, Harden provides insights into achieving scalability, responsibility, and repeatability with AI solutions. John also shares his experience of launching Lemhi, a new venture focused on guiding MSPs to effectively harness AI for service improvements and operational excellence. John Harden and Brian Doyle highlight how AI is transforming the landscape for MSPs. Through engaging dialogue, they discuss tooling, responsible deployment, and strategic implementation of AI to boost client relations and service offerings. They emphasize the importance of establishing a repeatable sales motion and developing a robust, manageable AI framework. Harden's Lemhi is positioned to directly address this by providing the necessary resources and expertise to integrate AI into MSP operations effectively, focusing on incremental value creation across all levels of client relationships. Key Takeaways: AI Strategy and Deployment: Successful AI integration requires repeatable, responsible, and scalable strategies, as articulated by John Harden based on his extensive research and experience. MSP Transformation: MSPs have an unprecedented opportunity to evolve into Managed Intelligence Providers, offering AI-driven solutions that enhance service offerings and deepen client engagement.

Send us Fan MailHurt has a way of sneaking into every relationship, and if we don't deal with it, it doesn't just fade. It hardens. Ken and Tabitha Claytor get honest about how emotional wounds, unmet expectations, betrayal, and disappointment can quietly turn into bitterness that reshapes your personality, drains your joy, and poisons your marriage, friendships, and faith.We talk through what hurt really is, why “church hurt” is often just people hurt, and how maturity means learning to stay grounded instead of running from every painful moment. Along the way, we share real stories, name the difference between reacting and responding, and explain how replaying pain without healing creates resentment, cynicism, suspicion, and withdrawal. If you've felt guarded, negative, or constantly bracing for the worst, we help you spot the signs of a bitter root before it spreads.Then we get practical and spiritual. We walk through eight clear steps for healing, including prayer, forgiveness without an apology, choosing safe people to process with, refusing a victim mindset, and using gratitude to starve bitterness. We close with a powerful prayer and daily declarations you can speak to break the cycle and move forward free.Subscribe, share this with someone who's carrying heavy hurt, and leave a review if it helps.

Claude for Legal is not just something lawyers can install and use out of the box. It is a starting point for building smarter, more intentional law firm workflows.  In this follow-up to last week's conversation, Zack Glaser continues his discussion with Sam Harden about Claude for Legal, AI skills, and what law firms need to understand before adding automation into their work. Sam explains why lawyers should not treat Claude's legal plugin as a finished product, but as a framework they can customize around their own processes, practice areas, and firm strategy.  They discuss how lawyers can modify AI skills, share them across a team, avoid creating more silos, and think through workflows before automating them. From demand letters to deposition summaries to safe experimentation, this episode explores how AI can help lawyers reduce repetitive work while preserving the judgment, expertise, and “secret sauce” that make their firms valuable.  Listen to our previous episodes on Artificial intelligence, law firm workflows, and the future of legal practice:  #619: What Claude Means for Law Firms: AI Skills, Connectors, and Workflow Strategy, with Sam Harden Apple | Spotify | LTN  #612: AI for Lawyers: What You Need to Know Before Your Clients Do, with Cat Casey Apple | Spotify | LTN  #601: Beyond Chatbots: Using Agentic AI in Law Firm Intake, with Matt Spiegel Apple | Spotify | LTN  #590: Innovating Without Overwhelm: Practical AI Tips for Lawyers, with Graydon Trusler Apple | Spotify | LTN   #587: Future Proofing Your Firm in the Age of AI, with Jack Newton Apple | Spotify | LTN   #577: Rethinking Law Firm Growth in the Age of AI, with Sam Harden Apple | Spotify | LTN    Links from the episode:  Posh.com/lawyerist  https://samharden.substack.com/    Have thoughts about today's episode?

On Episode 519 of State of the New York Knicks Podcast, I break down the Knicks' dominant Game 2 victory over the Cavaliers as Josh Hart delivered one of the greatest role-player performances you'll ever see in a playoff game. After starting 0-for-3 from beyond the arc, Hart responded with 26 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and a +18 plus/minus while knocking down 5 three-pointers to help power New York to another huge win. I also discuss Jalen Brunson's incredible playmaking night, finishing with 14 assists—the most by a Knicks player in a playoff game since 1998. On the other side, I take a closer look at Cleveland's collapse, including Evan Mobley's historically ineffective second half and another disappointing postseason stretch from James Harden. Join me as I talk with Knicks fans about all the biggest moments, key performances, and what this win means for the series moving forward.

Ken and Nick bring in Danny Cunningham to break down the Cavaliers' offseason options, and the conversation covers everything from a potential Jared Allen trade to the very real possibility of LeBron James returning to Cleveland for a third run. Danny explains how James Harden opting out and Dean Wade likely walking could get the Cavs out from under the second apron, which would unlock roster building tools that matter way more than the dollar savings. But the moment that will stick with Browns fans comes at the end, when Ken puts Danny on the spot with a 30 second Myles Garrett question and Danny does not hesitate for a second, saying trade him, get three first rounders and a good young player, and start building toward the future because this Browns team is not winning at a high level while Garrett is in his prime.

The crew is back and kicking things off with a conversation about curfews, parenting, and whether the rules we grew up with still make sense today. From there, the guys catch up on Drake's latest releases and debate whether the music actually lived up to the anticipation. They also ask a tough question: Is Chris Brown at risk of oversaturating his catalog, or does he still have plenty left in the tank? Spence is feeling good with the Spurs back in the Finals, but not everyone understands why he's giving Chet Holmgren so much grace. The conversation expands into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's place in Oklahoma City history and whether he's become more beloved than KD, Russ, and Harden ever were. Things take a much deeper turn as the guys discuss the business of slavery, the realities of other slave trades throughout history, and some of the uncomfortable truths that often get left out of the conversation. And then… the rails come off. The crew reacts to the leaked footage from Diddy's alleged “Freak Off” parties, leading to one of the wildest discussions of the episode.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio YouTube channel, starting with the latest playoff action before getting into their best NBA takes of the week. Wes argues that the twin-towers era may already be over before it ever really began. After teams like the Rockets, Timberwolves and Cavaliers struggled in the playoffs, are jumbo lineups being exposed? The NBA may still value rim protection, but the next wave of elite bigs — Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren and Evan Mobley — looks different from the traditional two-big builds teams used to counter Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. Then, Mike explains why the Memphis Grizzlies may be the best-positioned team in the NBA Draft with the No. 3 pick, able to land a star prospect without the pressure of making the top decision. Plus, the guys say goodbye to the Cavaliers with three ways to fix Cleveland this offseason, including what the James Harden trade means, why Kenny Atkinson is returning, and how the Cavs should rethink their championship path.
