Podcasts about PTO

This week on Talking Triathlon we close out 2025 with our final episode of the year. We start by breaking down the T100 Grand Final in Qatar before diving into one of the biggest stories in the sport, the proposed merger between the PTO and World Triathlon and what it could mean for the future of professional racing. From there we unpack the massive changes announced for Supertri in 2026 and share our thoughts on where the series is heading. We then turn our attention to the 2025 Podcast Awards, handing out our end of year honours including Female Triathlete of the Year, Male Triathlete of the Year, Racing Moment of the Year, Non Racing Moment of the Year, Race of the Year, the Lionel Award, WTF Moment of the Year and the Most Exciting Moment of the Year. As we head into a four week break, we are not disappearing completely. We will be releasing bonus episodes every week on Patreon during the off season, so there will still be plenty of Talking Triathlon content to keep you going until we return in 2026. Thanks for listening throughout the year and we will see you on the other side.

There are very few one-size-fits-all solutions in agriculture- most things depend on the weather, soil, pests, diseases and a host of other conditions for a particular farm. One of the most exciting trends in agriculture right now is the development of varieties that are suited to specific regional conditions. Common Wealth Seed Growers breeds open-pollinated vegetable varieties that are adapted to their region- in this case the southern USA.This week's guest Edmund Frost has managed seed production and research at Twin Oaks Seed Farm in Central Virginia since 2008. He also leads Common Wealth Seed Growers, a small, farm-based seed company with a commitment to regional production, adaptation and research based in Virginia. In this interview we discuss what traits they are breeding for in the Southeast, how they breed for resistance to the pests and diseases of the region, dehybridization, tropical pumpkins, new types of sweet corn that may have an advantage in the South, and more! Connect With Guest:Website: commonwealthseeds.comInstagram: @commonwealthseed Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

Ben & Woods kick off the 9am hour with The Reindl Report and a couple of Paulie's top stories of the day, including how we can all maximize our PTO in 2026. Then we get to our NFL Threesome segment this week before we wrap up the show by checking in with Derek Togerson who on Sunday will take over as PA announcer for the San Diego Seals! And at the very end of the show, the guys react to the breaking news that former Padres closer Robert Suarez has signed with the Atlanta Braves. Listen here!

Let's get in touch! Start the conversation here: http://thefinancialanswer.com  Your first Christmas in retirement doesn't just feel different; it functions differently. Without work schedules or limited PTO, the holidays suddenly open up with new choices, new freedoms, and a few new financial considerations. In this episode, Nathan explores what shifts emotionally and practically when December rolls around, and the paycheck is gone, but the possibilities are wide open.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

On this week's episode of Find Your Dream Job, HR expert Marcia Torres shares why your starting salary influences future raises, bonuses, and long-term earning potential — and why employers expect candidates to ask questions, review their offers carefully, and advocate for what they need. Marcia also talks about the value of taking 24 hours to read through an offer, getting clear on your bottom line, and using reliable salary data to understand where you should land in a range. She then walks through what candidates can negotiate beyond base pay, including job titles, professional development funds, PTO, and other benefits that make up a full compensation package. Marcia offers practical, down-to-earth guidance on how to approach these conversations collaboratively, build rapport with recruiters, and make a thoughtful decision about your next role.

Episode 301 – Chair Company, Bagonia & the Anxiety of Being Extremely Online Matt and Bob are back “to pod” and this week they're double-featuring two very different brands of unhinged: Tim Robinson's The Chair Company on HBO and Yorgos Lanthimos' new black comedy Bagonia. First up, they break down why Chair Company's pilot might be an all-timer — deviled eggs, mall-restaurant discourse, wheelbarrow talk, and HR meetings about accidental upskirt eye contact — but why the season's tone, length, and “Scrooge porn” detours make it a tougher hang than I Think You Should Leave or Friendship. There's bouncer Mike, Wazy Wanes, giant wieners, and the eternal question: how many huge bits are too many huge bits? Then they head into the basement with Bagonia, digging into Jesse Plemons' beautifully weird performance, Emma Stone's corporate-speak alien CEO, and a story that sits somewhere between Ari Aster dread and Wes Anderson precision. They unpack conspiracy-brain vs. Big Pharma, torture in a foil-lined basement, corporate “no PTO, but take all the time you need” doublespeak, and an ending that somehow manages to combine telekinesis, exploding heads, and puffy tribunal aliens in a way that's both dark and oddly funny. Along the way, the guys shout out Jim Downey's late-career run, Will Tracy's Onion/Succession DNA, and close with a few rapid-fire watches on their radar: Train Dreams, J. Kelly, Task, Hamnet, and the Safdies' Christmas chaos ride Marty Supreme. If you've ever fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole, worked in a soul-sucking office, or just love watching deeply weird men completely derail their lives, this one's for you

Jen Aron is an agroecologist and owner of Blue Raven Farm in Corbett, Oregon. She also worked as a farm educator for seven years with Oregon State University Extension. About five years ago, Jen wrote four articles for Growing for Market Magazine talking about how she built her farm on raw land east of Portland, Oregon, focusing on creating a healthy soil ecosystem and dealing with a whole slew of pest and disease problems along the way.The thread running through Jen's work and her articles is both the wonder and the power of healthy soil to grow healthy crops, and how to deal with the challenges we have in farming through soil-based solutions. So, I wasn't entirely surprised to hear that Jen recently went through an intensive 650-plus hour agro-ecology course with Nicole Masters, which has completely reshaped how she approaches on-farm consulting, education, nutrient applications, biology, soil testing, and weed management. Listen to this podcast episode for a deep dive into soil health and hear how Jen is applying what she's learned at the decade mark of Blue Raven Farm. Connect With Guest:Free article by Jen Aron from Growing for Market Magazine: Microbes for land repair: A 5-year eco-farming trialWebsite: blueravenfarm.orgInstagram: @blue_raven_farm Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

This week on Anime Pulse we got discount Hooter girls, graduating Hololive talent, and waifus & husbandos. Up first Joseph got hit with his first major snow storm of the year, and Andrew has been spending his leftover PTO before the end of the year. Then in the industry news a Gen 4 member of Hololive is moving on with her life, for good. And finally in the reviews Joseph meets a beer selling gal girl at a baseball stadium, and Andrew places all his bets on a horse named Narita Top Road.

When employees hear “employee benefits,” they might think of healthcare, perks, wellness programs, PTO, 401(k) plans or disability coverage. But when HR professionals hear “employee benefits,” they're likely thinking about cost management, compensation strategies, open enrollment, and—most importantly—compliance. Compliance is a cornerstone of today's insurance landscape. With that in mind, let's dive into your December 2025 breakdown of Compliance in Motion.

When Elizabeth Lutz Kelly's flower growing hobby turned into a business, it outgrew the space she had available in her yard in Akron, Ohio. Even though there wasn't a lot of open space, she asked around her neighborhood and found places that could be growing crops that weren't. Thus she was able to expand her business with one of the most viable strategies for growing a farm without having to buy more land.In this interview we hear about Elizabeth's strategies for growing a lot of flowers in a small area, what crops she grows and how she markets them locally. We also hear about how her dahlia breeding project has led to submitting a variety for possible naming by the American Dahlia Society. We also hear why she's planting more perennials for cut flowers all year round, how she moves them through her farmstand, and more in this week's interview with host April Parms Jones! Connect With Guest:Website: happydragonflowerfarm.comInstagram: @happydragonflowerfarmFacebook: Akron Garden Share Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

As we head into the final days before Cyber Five, this episode is all about going from daily pacing to true intraday pacing - the level of granularity operators need when every hour can swing the entire BFCM weekend. We break down how we monitor hourly revenue and ad spend across Meta, Google, and more using tools like Northbeam and Supermetrics, and how we make real-time adjustments when projections drift off target.We also get into the messy but essential stuff: how inventory, merchandising, and media-mix strategy shape bid caps, channel budgets, and how aggressively you can push during Cyber Five, including the constant tradeoff brands face between maximizing contribution margin dollars and maintaining efficiency. The hosts share real examples of scaling (and protecting efficiency), running holdout tests, understanding incremental lift, and avoiding the overspend horror stories that can tank a weekend.To wrap up, we talk through team etiquette during BFCM-who's “on,” how to handle PTO, how the paid teams coordinate in hourly and bi-hourly check-ins, and what it takes operationally to keep a brand performing during the most high-pressure stretch of the year.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:10:52 - Intraday Revenue Pacing00:24:39 - Cyber 5 Scale-Up Tests00:39:07 - Bid Caps and Budget Strategies00:52:10 - Channel Spend Forecasting01:02:50 - Scaling Mid-Funnel CampaignsPowered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here:https://9operators.com/

In this episode of Politically Uncorrect, Andres makes his return and catches everyone up on what's been going on in his life — including the wild story of getting bitten by a dog. From there, he and Michael jump straight into the NBA season, starting with Stephen Curry dropping back-to-back 40-point games and what it means for Golden State moving forward.The conversation shifts to the Lakers as they debate how LeBron's return will shape L.A.'s season. That evolves into a deeper discussion on spacing vs. size in the modern NBA, ultimately spiraling into a hypothetical heavyweight matchup: the 2017 Warriors vs. the 2001 Lakers.They also talk about Steph becoming a shoe free agent, Andres still riding high from the Dodgers' recent win, and they share frustrations with work both issues stemming from PTO.It's hoops, life, laughs, hypotheticals, and chaos — all in pure Politically Uncorrect fashion......followed by a solo continuation of the episode, where Michael dives into the Warriors' frustrating loss to the Portland Trail Blazers and the growing uncertainty surrounding the team. He questions when Jonathan Kuminga will finally return and what kind of impact he should have when he does — not the sanitized, “hope he develops” version, but the real expectations this team needs from him.Michael also reacts to Jimmy Butler's unexpected — or possibly shady — praise for Draymond Green, trying to decipher whether it was genuine respect or a subtle jab wrapped in compliments.But the most painful part: wasting an iconic Steph Curry performance, including 15 points in just four minutes in the second quarter. Michael breaks down why moments like that hurt so much and what they say about where the Warriors truly are right now.It's raw, honest, and full of the emotional rollercoaster that only a Warriors fan living through this season can deliver.

Event folks like to joke about chaos, but Jay Schwedelson and Rachel Andrews get into what it actually takes to build a career inside that chaos. Rachel shares how she went from school events and holiday parties to leading a massive global events program, why “embrace the suck” is secretly great career advice, and what is really changing for attendees on-site. They also talk about burnout, boundaries, and how to build networking formats that do not make introverts want to hide by the coffee station.ㅤConnect with Rachel on LinkedIn and check out Cvent CONNECT in Nashville, her “big family reunion” style industry event that brings together event pros and event technologists from across the world.ㅤBest Moments:(01:45) Rachel's oldest-child energy, early love of bringing people together, and the moment she realized she wanted the events side, not PR.(05:10) How saying yes to “small” assignments like a company holiday party turned into a 15-year path to leading events at a huge brand.(08:05) Why attendees keep begging for “more networking” and how Rachel designs formats that actually work for introverts and ambiverts.(11:15) The problem with topic tables that go nowhere and how facilitators and “influencer hosts” can make roundtables worth showing up for.(14:10) Rachel's honest take on burnout, the myth of “do more with less,” and why she fiercely protects PTO and being present with her family.(17:20) What 1,000 last-minute registrations revealed about attendee behavior and how she is feeling about event budgets and growth heading into 2026.ㅤCheck out Jay's YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/

Send us a textForget highlight reels—this conversation lives where the work actually happens. We sit down with coach and former arena pro AJ Saunders for a grounded ride through high school football, family balance, and a hospital IT career that runs on urgency and trust. AJ opens up about a 5–5 season with Plum High School, a wild blocked field goal turned touchdown, and a playoff exit that still taught the right lessons. He maps out the 5A grind—smarter schemes, bigger bodies, recruiting pressures—and the coaching habits that matter: early scouting, honest communication, and respecting the games you “should” win.The story widens beyond the field. By day, AJ keeps doctors and devices moving inside Highmark/AHN, turning outages into solutions and tech into patient care. He draws straight lines from IT to football: fast teamwork, crisp escalation, systems that hold up under pressure. Then we go personal. Married 11 years, a dad and youth coach, he breaks down how he schedules film around family, uses PTO with intent, and treats “little wins” as the glue that holds everything together. It's practical, real, and repeatable.We rewind to Slippery Rock: the surprise switch from defensive back to running back, a humbling hit in camp, the return to DB under a top-tier coach, and how belief changes players. AJ also pulls back the curtain on arena football—tight walls, high motion, constant evaluations—and candidly shares CFL workouts and NFL looks that didn't stick. The takeaway isn't a near-miss; it's a roadmap: adapt, serve, and invest in the next generation. If you care about coaching, culture, and doing hard things the right way, this one's for you.If the episode hit home, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review with your favorite takeaway.

Starting with tech rollouts, Trimble bets big on AI to fix trucking's workflow bottlenecks. It debuted its new cloud-native, modular, AI-powered Transportation Management System (TMS), designed as a single intelligence center for enterprise operations. New AI agents, such as the Order Intake Agent, automate administrative tasks like data extraction from emails and PDFs, potentially eliminating manual review for up to 90% of standard orders. Efficiency is also the core strategy behind major network redesigns at FedEx, who is focused on prioritizing high-quality B2B business and sectors like high-tech freight and healthcare logistics, while using generative AI to predict classification codes to simplify cross-border trade execution. In contrast, global maritime operator CMA CGM profit collapses on ocean ‘slowdown'. reported a staggering 72.6% decline in net income, yet maintained volume growth (up 2.3%) due to its agility in redeploying assets to counter Red Sea disruptions and volatility. On the regulatory and legal front, a Delaware bankruptcy court approved Judge Oks Yellow Corp.'s final liquidation plan, clearing the path to distribute up to $700 million to creditors, crucially classifying employee claims for PTO and sick time as priority for payment. Meanwhile, truck safety advocates strongly oppose the FMCSA's proposed pilot program, detailed in Safety group opposes extending truckers' workday, which would allow truck drivers to pause their 14-hour on-duty window for up to three hours, arguing the agency should instead study detention time directly. Managing constant risk is essential, as evidenced by the U.S.-flag barge Brooklyn Bridge running aground in the Bahamas after a tow wire failed and subsequently being looted, highlighting the vulnerability of routine operations to external factors. The defining trait of a successful logistics operation today is agility built on automation; technology is no longer a differentiator but a necessary cost for maintaining margins and compliance.

Spoilers for Welcome to Derry Episode 3! Thumb War returns to Derry, Maine, where the sewers are wet, the ghost children look like Spirit Halloween interns, and the cemetery scene feels one jump scare away from a discount haunted house behind a Home Depot. After two strong episodes, Episode 3 might be our first real stumble of the season. We break down: Did the show blow its horror budget in Episodes 1 & 2? Are these ghost kid vibes spooky or just… sticky? Why does the community meeting scene feel like mid-season Canadian public access TV? Are we in Derry or at Canada's Wonderland Fright Night? Pennywise lore updates (even though he may be on PTO this week) We still love the show, but we also reserve the right to yell at it.

PTO has now been going for more than seven years and some of the earlier episodes unfortunately have truly abysmal audio quality - because of the podcasting technology of the time. But, thanks to the wonders of audio editing software in 2025, it's been possible to quite significantly improve the sound quality of those episodes, and so in the coming months there will be a few interviews from the archives appearing in your feed.  In the following interview - recorded six years ago - Alexander Gallas talks about the extent of popular support for the Thatcherite project and about the debates of the 1980s between Stuart Hall and Bob Jessop regarding how to characterise Thatcherite hegemony. Alexander is the author of 'The Thatcherite Offensive: A Neo-Poulantzasian Analysis'.

This week the long awaited return of Bill back from some PTO just in time to discuss the week that was in wrestling. The 1 count is WWE. Drew McIntyre finally snaps and gets himself suspended. Kabuki Warriors takes the women's tag titles from Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. Ilja Dragnov with another successful title defense. Logan Paul joins the Vision leading to Survivor Series WarGames. Chelsea Green wins back the women's US title. More matches announced for The Last Time Is Now tournament. The 2 count is AEW. FTR loses to the Bang Bang Gang ahead of their tag title match against Brodido. Women's and men's Blood And Guts advantage matches. Kyle Fletcher vs Ace Austin for the TBS title. They breakdown Dynamite on Wednesday with the 2 Blood And Guts matches. Powerhouse Hobbs vs Adam Page in a Falls Count Anywhere match sandwiched in the middle.

“Closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world.” No, but for real we're wrapping up the season, putting up the storm windows, holidays and long PTO are coming. We'll be back in 2026 but before we board up the windows for the winter we wanted to recap everything that's happened this year in the email industry. Alison Gootee stopped by our studio because she's been keeping a list so let's recap and we'll see you in 2026!   Email's Not Dead is a podcast about how we communicate with each other and the broader world through modern technologies. Email isn't dead, but it could be if we don't change how we think about it. Hosts Jonathan Torres and Eric Trinidad dive into the email underworld and come back out with a distinctive look at the way developers and marketers send email.  

What legal risks does a person take on when they agree to be a nonprofit treasurer? Stacey and Andy have some thoughts. Also this week, we talk about different generational takes on PTO policies (how exciting!) and some practical advice about who has to keep the random donor swag at their house. Thanks for joining us this week, and do not forget to send any and all nonprofit questions to Questions@NonprofitEverything.com!

What is up, everyone?!We're back -- after a small pause -- with another episode featuring a guest, and I'm thrilled to share, regardless of how LinkedIn-y that sounds -- that I was lucky enough to see my interview with Phil Kilmer to the other side.Meaning, it took a year and-a-half to make it happen. Which is fun!In that vein, I'll pause for two seconds to say thank you to anyone that's ever replied to my outreach, and everyone that has helped me to see an episode come to finished-product state by committing, showing up, and being awesome. I'm really excited to see that the 200 mark is right around the corner, and -- as of this moment -- I have a small dose of confidence in me that we'll get there.Where it goes from there is anybody's guess.Anyway...Phil Kilmer is a son, a boyfriend, a father, a presence in academia, a physical therapist, a doctorate candidate, and I'm -- in botching this list -- not even doing his whole Curriculum Vitae justice.Regardless, we talked about Frost on the Flint Band, the Lovegrass Music Festival, being a musician, a diehard soccer fan, and...well, we also had a decent look at a few of Phil's favorite albums, which were these:Live at the Old Quarter (1977), Townes Van ZandtJohn Prine's Bruised Orange (1978)Uprising (1980), Bob MarleySplit Lip Rayfield's Never Make It Home (2001)Renewal (2021), Billy StringsChatting with Phil was super-fantastic, and I'd be remiss to not encourage you to give both the Walnut Valley Festival as well as the Lovegrass Music Festival consideration when planning your next bit of PTO. Thank you, Phil, and nutrition and health to you all.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any of the audio clips contained within this episode, or within any of these episodes, for that matter.

As the Vegetable and Berry Specialist at the University of Vermont for 35 years, Vern has a lot of experience with helping growers improve their high tunnel tomato production. One of the best ways to find out what is working on actual farms is with a survey- in 2024 Vern and his team did a survey of 48 tunnel tomato growers (heated and unheated) that included growing practices and yields, in order to correlate the best practices to the best yields.In this conversation, we talk about the conclusions we can draw from this survey, highlighting the best practices and prioritizing the smallest changes that can have the biggest impact on yields. We discuss everything from variety selection to grafting, root zone heating, planting density and biological controls. Ultimately, the biggest changes came from: using the long-term high tunnel soil test, adding up to 4 drip lines per bed, improving ventilation with gable end vents and HAF fans, and automating roll-up sides. We break it all down with Vern and if you'd like to see the slides made from his study results, they're in the show notes below. Connect With Guest:Website with slides from the study: newenglandvfc.orgInstagram: @uvmextcommhort Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Amy Hunsucker. On trail, Amy is known as "Slider" because she hikes with a trombone- something she's done for the entire triple crown. We of course learn all about this fun quirk, including which animals were most appreciative of her on-trail concerts, which parts of trail provided the best acoustics, the reactions she'd get from other hikers and the broader trail community, and her go-to on-trail trombone jams. Slider also gives us the low down on getting her sawyer certification, her trail maintenance work with the Carolina Mountain Club, hiking South Dakota's Centennial Trail, and life as a hiking guide in North Carolina. We wrap the show with the pieces of thru-hiking advice we wish we'd never given, Chaunce gives her take of whether she'd rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear, we do the triple crown of freezer foods, I give a one-minute gear review of my current rain jacket, and a listener lectures us on how we dropped the ball on our interview with Liz Kidder.

When employees hear “employee benefits,” they might think of healthcare, perks, wellness programs, PTO, 401(k) plans or disability coverage. But when HR professionals hear “employee benefits,” they're likely thinking about cost management, compensation strategies, open enrollment, and—most importantly—compliance.
