Summary In this episode of the Conquer Athlete Podcast, hosts Jason Leydon and Ryan Bucciantini discuss the importance of keeping athletes engaged through foundational training, especially in preparation for the CrossFit Games.

The conversation also touches on the balance between motivation and training intensity, as well as predictions for the upcoming CrossFit Games.   Takeaways Engaging athletes requires focusing on foundational work.

This is actually the reverse of a FaceTime call, meaning if I'm the homeowner and I receive the text now I'm going to see myself large and the salesperson small. So I get to see and the salesperson will have a virtual background. It's all tuned up to do a virtual estimate. And so now the customer can walk through the home and me or if I'm the salesperson in the call center, hey, I'll record everything. The entire video is recorded. I can take remote photos and tap into your camera, take high res photos, take notes, share my screen if I need to walk you through document, hold up your ID if I need a picture of id.

I'm excited because when your crew reached out to me, we actually could have used a service like this during pandemic times. Way back in those days, right. For a hot minute I was working with a guy that was putting together remote window replacement company for your house and getting people to understand how to count their windows. People aren't window experts. This would have really helped so that they could just take a walk with video and the agents on our end could see what they were looking at. So why don't we start with what is the foundation?

Luis Derechin - Nir-Yu (Pronounced 'Near You') On the Building Upon Your Success: "Any successful company is in the continuous improvement process. We identified what we call the Offshore Team Death Trap—seven systemic failures—and built our process to counteract them." Hiring locally can be expensive and you need to pay for a space for that employee to work.  Hire remotely and your costs should go down, but your volume and value of work may suffer, dependent on your employees.  Hire overseas and you end up with vaguely incoherent contractors that do less work than a domestic employee, if you count you saying, "Please repeat that..." about a zillion times.  The answer for some businesses may be Nearshoring.  Hiring contractors that have lived in an English speaking world, but also in a world that allows a dollar to go three or four times as far. Luis Derechin of Nir-Yu has created a company to help you do just that.  Hire, train and utilize a workforce that speaks well and has strong skills at a cost that is a fraction of a domestic employee. Luis dives deep into the world of remote staffing and the art of building international teams. From early candy-selling hustle as a child in Mexico, to founding Mexico's first tech startup to be venture funded by U.S. investors, Luis shares his lifelong journey as an entrepreneur—and reveals the key challenges businesses face when hiring remote employees in Latin America. You'll hear firsthand the pitfalls of remote talent acquisition, the importance of cultural alignment, and how Nir-Yu's “Remote Intelligence Framework” solves issues like the “Offshore Team Death Trap.” James and Luis also get candid about managing teams, navigating language barriers, and why a win-win relationship is essential for international staffing success. Whether you're battling talent shortages, feeling the pinch of rising labor costs, or just curious about building remote teams, this conversation is packed with insight, practical stories, and a bit of entrepreneurial humor. Listen as Luis explains the pros and cons of utilizing a nearshore team and how it may help your business. Enjoy!

In this episode of Booked & Unfiltered, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith unpack the latest controversy surrounding bestselling author Ali Hazelwood and the harsh realities of online book discourse. They dive into the complexities of fandom culture, the rise of performative outrage, and how bullying masked as “critique” is eroding empathy in the book community. Michelle and Steph share why reading the actual book still matters, why we can care about literature and global issues at the same time, and how nuance has all but disappeared from internet conversations. This episode is a rally cry for book lovers who still believe stories can build bridges—and that authors deserve humanity, not harassment. What We're Talking About... Feedback on the Read the Damn Book series is positive. It's okay to put down a book you're not enjoying. People feel pressure to read certain books in professional settings. Online bullying over fictional character preferences is unnecessary. Empathy should guide our discussions and disagreements. Books can open our eyes to different perspectives. The importance of treating authors as human beings. Fandom debates can become toxic and unproductive. We should focus our energy on real-world issues. Reading should be an enjoyable escape, not a source of conflict.

Amanda Marek - Active Youth Wisconsin On Getting the Style Right: "I always like to say that, from an unbiased standpoint, our events are really, really awesome. And I say it's unbiased because I got to experience the events before I was an employee of active youth Wisconsin." It seems kids have all sorts of gadgets and ways to watch, listen and play while sitting in a chair and staring at a screen.  While this may be entertaining, it is also not great for their bodies.  Every body needs to move and be active.  That is a habit that should start early.  But how do you get kids off the couch and off their screens? Amanda Marek is the director of Active Youth Wisconsin, a non-profit that helps get kids moving through many programs.  These programs include donations to schools for physical education equipment, after school programs, triathlons for kids and even some adult fund-raising to get adults active. Discover how Active Youth Wisconsin removes barriers, from providing "no questions asked" financial aid for entry fees and gear, to carting bike trailers to schools so every child can experience the freedom and confidence that come with moving their bodies. Amanda opens up about the challenges and triumphs of running events, working with schools, wrangling city permits, and, most importantly, ensuring that every child—regardless of means—has the opportunity to build healthy habits and a sense of community through activity. Whether you're a parent, educator, entrepreneur, or just someone who believes in the power of movement and inclusion, this episode is packed with heartfelt stories and valuable insights. Listen as Amanda details how they are helping get kids moving and making sure the opportunity is available to everyone. Enjoy!

Brandon Lang - Lang Lighting and Decor On a Knowing What People Want: "And people like quick. They want their stuff done yesterday." The evolution of how a business came to be and grow is always interesting. With Brandon Lang, of Lang's Lighting and Decor, he started making elaborate haunted houses for the neighborhood and now runs a successful lighting and decor business. Brandon shares how an epic backyard haunted house for Halloween—built with his brother Dustin, a pile of recycled cardboard, and a garage full of ambition—sparked their passion for decorating and community connection. After their mega-popular haunted house was shut down for safety reasons, the brothers channeled their creative energy into a new business: helping families transform their homes with professional-grade Christmas and landscape lighting. Listen as Brandon pulls back the curtain on launching their company out of their dad's garage, facing the countless challenges of growth (from tangled bins of holiday lights to wrangling their first employees), and figuring out how to scale quality work without losing the personal touch. If you've ever wondered what goes into making neighborhoods dazzle during the holidays—or dreamed of turning your favorite hobby into a full-time pursuit—this episode will leave you inspired, entertained, and maybe ready to up your own lighting game.

Dean Vance - Vance and Associates CPA On a the Brutal Truth About the CPA World: "It's the people who are not part of the orthodoxy who are outside the box that ask those, quote, unquote, 'silly questions', that actually dig in. 99% of this space has been following a fallacy about things." As an entrepreneur, the government rewards you, kind of, for building your business to create jobs and keep the economy moving.  But these rewards are typically given as tax breaks that are not at the forefront of the minds of accountants.  You know them the professionals that you trust to know the tax code to help minimize your tax burden. Dean Vance is a CPA that comes at this from a different angle.  Dean has an eye and a mind for helping business owners navigate the tax code to make sure they are taking advantage of the opportunities the tax code offers them. Dean Vance of Vance and Associates CPA talks taxes, accounting, and small business finance. As a seasoned CPA with nearly thirty years of experience, Dean shares the ins and outs of tax strategy, the importance of tax planning, and why having someone regularly “look under the hood” of your business books can make all the difference. The conversation covers everything from the often-overlooked tax opportunities for small business owners—like paying your kids to work in your business—to the crucial role of systems, checklists, and company culture in building a successful business. Dean also gives listeners a peek behind the scenes of his own firm, discusses the value of industry specialization (“riches are in niches!”), and highlights the human side of accounting, including personality fit and team building. Along the way, James and Dean swap stories about navigating the real challenges and triumphs that come with entrepreneurship, making this episode a must-listen for business owners who want to stop leaving money on the table and start running a leaner, smarter operation. Whether you're dreading tax season or just want to better understand the numbers driving your business, you'll find plenty of practical wisdom—and maybe a little inspiration—in this week's conversation.

Just like I mentioned with my with the the the prospect that that turns into a client was, you know, just have somebody who does this all the time. Right?
