I completed a purposeful ride–run–ride day, stacking short e-bike sessions around a steady trail run. I kept my heart rate low throughout, staying firmly in aerobic territory and focusing on efficiency rather than intensity. I used the Golf Course Loop run as a controlled endurance effort, letting it complement the rides instead of turning it into a hard workout. I finished the day feeling durable and composed, confident that the work supported long-term progression rather than short-term fatigue.
Sermon_DAY25 'Pure grace, pure gift', by Pastor Rev. Andy Willis by Geneva Lutheran
Read OnlineWhile they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:6–7 (Gospel from Mass During the Night)A loving mother and father who experience the birth of their first child receive insight into the sacredness and beauty of this scene. Though great mystery surrounds Jesus' conception within the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, she was truly His mother, and He was truly her Son. Saint Joseph, knowing he was not this Child's biological father, made a profound act of faith by accepting that fatherly responsibility, as instructed in a dream by an angel of the Lord. Because of his faith and God-given mission, Joseph's commitment to being the father of the Son of God was one that only a most loving and devoted father would make. As we celebrate Christmas Day, we are reminded of the humility with which our Lord chose to enter the world. Jesus was born in a place where animals dwelt because Mary and Joseph were away from their home to register for the Roman census. At first glance, one might conclude that the physical environment, most likely a cave, was unfortunate. However, we can be certain that this humble and poor setting was part of God's divine plan, adding to the glory of that night. Christ, in His humility, chose this setting to reveal to us the true greatness of love.The poverty and humility of the cave and the manger—a feeding trough for animals—helped point to the sacredness of Jesus' birth. No glamor, no fancy or comfortable setting, only love. Pure love. The love in the heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the devotion of Saint Joseph, and the Incarnate presence of the Son of God were everything needed to make that night glorious.One lesson we can learn from the Nativity of the Lord is that the beauty, peacefulness, and contentment of our lives are not dependent upon how much money or how many material possessions we have, but rather on the purity of our love. The Holy Family's hearts were perfectly fulfilled, not because of their surroundings, but because of their intimate union with God in the person of Jesus Christ.The presence of the Son of God in that place of poverty sheds light on the true riches we crave. The true treasures we seek are found not in wealth, comfort, or possessions, but in the love and grace of God. The Holy Family's witness reveals to us that when we place our hearts in God's hands, we will be filled with all we need. Reflect today on that most sacred, simple, and humble scene. As you do, try to imagine how humanly fulfilling that experience was for the Holy Family. Jesus was wrapped tightly in swaddling clothing, and He was adored with the greatest affection of His mother and foster father. Mary and Joseph's hearts contained all that was necessary for profound gratitude and fulfillment. If you struggle with being fulfilled, learn a lesson from the Holy Family and seek to imitate Mary and Joseph so that your love for our Incarnate Lord fills you with all you need. My Incarnate Lord, Your divine nature, united to Your human nature, transformed that humble cave near Bethlehem into a tabernacle filled with the most powerful bonds of pure love. Please draw me into that sacred scene and help me to share in the love in the Immaculate Heart of Your mother, as well as the human devotion of Your foster father, Joseph. May I find contentment and total fulfillment in life by seeing You and loving You in every way that You come to me. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Gerard van Honthorst, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Imagine your work day starting off like any other only to find you've been laid off. What would you do next? Dave Stevens lived this reality a couple of years ago and joins us this week in episode 354 to share the lessons from that experience. We'll take you through how Dave processed the news of being laid off, the warning signs he missed, when he knew it was time to begin searching for a new role, how he thought about what to do next, and the critical importance of his personal and professional network throughout this process. Regardless of your age or the size of your professional network, Dave shares actionable suggestions for building professional connections that we all may be overlooking. Original Recording Date: 10-28-2025 Topics – Background and the Impact of a Layoff Event, Initial Forward Progress and Reliance on a Professional Network, Skills Gaps and Unexpected Positives, Elements of the Personal and Professional Network, Reaching Closure and Reflecting Back on the Lessons 2:27 – Background and the Impact of a Layoff Event Dave Stevens is a Field Solutions Architect at Pure Storage. In this role, Dave is a technical overlay for pre-sales technical personnel at Pure across North America. This is the role Dave took after he was impacted by a layoff. What was Dave's role before he was impacted by a layoff event? For context, the layoff event we discuss in this episode took place around 2.5 years before this recording. Dave was classified as a systems engineer or pre-sales technical resource at his employer supporting multiple account reps. It was more of a solutions architect type of role, and Dave highlights his entry into this organization and role was via acquisition. Was there an element of technical marketing to the role? Nick mentions that Dave often had to attend trade shows in this role. Dave had a virtualization background and went to a lot of events to discuss how his company's products integrated with those different technology ecosystems. The day Dave was laid off started as a normal day at his home office. His boss was based in Europe, so most 1-1 calls were usually late in the day his boss's time (early afternoon for Dave). A meeting popped up that was earlier than usual, but Dave didn't think anything of it. Right after Dave joined the remote session for the meeting, someone from HR joined followed by Dave's boss. Dave wasn't quite sure what to expect and didn't know what was happening. He didn't know if it was a layoff coming or some other kind of situation happening at his company. When Dave was laid off, they told him it was not for performance reasons, but there weren't really any other details provided on why he was being laid off. “So, at that point it was just like, ‘what do I do?'” – Dave Stevens, on receiving layoff news After receiving the news, Dave's access to company systems like e-mail was quickly cut off. He went downstairs and spent the rest of his day relaxing. Dave did not want to talk about what happened any further that first day. Did Dave struggle with separating his identity from his employer or the job he held at all when this happened? Dave says he did, at least a little bit. Dave wanted to be successful in whatever role he found himself, and the reason he was in the systems engineering role at the time of the layoff event is a result of his drive to be successful in the years leading up to that role. “I also wanted to make sure that…the people that I worked with that I enjoyed working with. If I didn't enjoy working with them, then there was no reason to continue staying there. So that's part of my identity on how I interact with work.” – Dave Stevens In the early days of Twitter (now X), Dave defined an identity there. He also created a personal blog. Dave says his identity was often tied to where he worked. “Once this all happened, I just kind of cut that off. And I needed some time to really digest what I just went through that day.” – Dave Stevens Is there something Dave wishes people had done for him when this first happened? Dave says he wishes he would have listened to his wife. Before experiencing the layoff event, a number of colleagues who had entered the company through acquisition like Dave were either leaving or had been laid off (including his boss being laid off). At the time, Dave didn't think much about these events. Dave's wife had encouraged him to look for other jobs before the layoff happened, and he feels he should have listened. “It's much easier finding a job when you have a job. There's not as much pressure on you. You can take your time and really find the job that you want. That's the one thing that kind of took me by surprise….” – Dave Stevens Did Dave's wife also point him in a direction or provide feedback on the type of work he should pursue? We've spoken to previous guests who had spouses that provided insight into the type of work that made them happy. Dave feels like there has been an element of this in place since he and his wife got married. When Dave got a job opportunity to relocate to the New Hampshire area, his wife had some interesting feedback. “It's great that you're going to make more than you're making at the job you are currently, but I don't want you to take a job just because of money. I want you to take a job because it's something you're interested in doing and you're going to be happy at. So, I've always kept that in the back of my mind every time I go and look for a job….” – Dave Stevens, quoting his wife's advice Dave considered this same advice when pursuing his current role at Pure. Because he enjoyed meeting and speaking with people during the interview process, the decision to accept the role was easy. Liking the people he would be working with was more important than a pay increase. 10:53 – Initial Forward Progress and Reliance on a Professional Network How long did Dave need to process before taking the first actions toward a new role? For the first 3 weeks or so, Dave relaxed a little bit. There were a number of projects at home that he needed to do and some that he wanted to do. Working on the projects helped take his mind off what had happened. Dave mentions he was given a severance for about 3 months and wanted to find a new role within that time period if possible. But if he could not find something in that time period, it would not be the end of the world. Dave tells us it was easier to find work when he was laid off than it is currently. Close to the time of this recording, AWS announced job cuts for up to 30,000 people. He made the conscious decision after those first few weeks to spend the first part of the day searching for new jobs and then continued working on different projects in the afternoons. How did Dave know who to reach out to first? Nick argues that most of us likely don't have a list of who we would call if something like this happened. When Dave came to the New England area, he started working for Dell in tech marketing. Through his work, Dave built a tight bond with many of his co-workers. Dave remembers sending a text message to many of his former co-workers (none of which were still at Dell) asking if they knew of any open opportunities. Dave wanted to understand what former colleagues were working on now and what the culture of their company was like. He started by seeking out people he already enjoyed working with and analyzed whether it made sense to go and work with them again. Was Dave open to different types of roles in his job search, or did that not matter? It had to be interesting work and involve people he wanted to work with or enjoyed working with. Dave says as long as it was something in the tech field, it didn't matter too much. Dave began his career in systems administration and tech support and had experience in the storage industry, with backups, and with Active Directory to name a few areas. He had also done technical marketing and was open to returning to it. Dave also looked at pre-sales systems engineering or solution architect roles. What about taking roles that moved him deeper into a business unit like product management? Dave says product management is interesting work, but depending on the company, the work may not always have the technical aspects he likes. Many of the product managers at Pure are quite technical, but most of the product management roles he observed at other companies were not as technical as he would like. “It just didn't interest me. It wasn't technical enough in nature for me.” – Dave Stevens, on moving into product management It sounds like Dave had done a good job of keeping in touch with people in his professional network over time. “I have always made sure to have a small group of folks that I can just reach out to at any time and…chat about anything…. I've always made sure to have that…. I didn't talk to them all the time, but we all interacted in some way, shape, or form whether it was an e-mail or text messaging…even some stuff on LinkedIn. We all kind of kept in touch…. I had people that I could fall back on and reach out to and get advice from if I needed to. This is the time where I really needed some advice on where to go to next.” – Dave Stevens Dave says he was lucky enough to find a new job before the end of his 3 months of severance pay. Dave's wife commented that she wasn't too worried about him. She knew he had a strong professional network. Did anyone in Dave's professional network ask him what he wanted to do next, or did they just start making recommendations based on what they knew about him? Dave says it was a little bit of both. Some people pointed Dave to specific open roles in the same group where they worked (still in tech, of course), while others directed him to the company job site and offered to act as a referral for him. Dave tells us he's very willing to give others a referral. “I want to make sure that people that I know and I like to work with come to work with me.” – Dave Stevens Dave says he also turned on the Open to Work banner on LinkedIn. While this did result in many recruiters reaching out to Dave, many of the opportunities they contacted him about were not interesting. Dave is hearing from many in our industry that bots are reaching out to people and trying to take advantage of them. His advice is that we need to be guarded in our interactions on LinkedIn as a result to avoid scams. 19:10 – Skills Gaps and Unexpected Positives What kinds of skills gaps did Dave see when seeking new opportunities? For context, this was roughly 2.5 years ago. Dave says at that time, AI wasn't as helpful as it is today and was not something that was interesting to him. Dave tells us he uses AI heavily today compared to back then. Dave felt confident in the knowledge and skillset he had built through years of industry experience. Ideally, he would land a new role that overlapped those areas, but if a new role required coming up to speed quickly, he would do what was needed. Dave started looking at public cloud and certifications related to Azure and AWS. “Although it was interesting, it wasn't really what I wanted to do.” – Dave Stevens, on public cloud technologies compared to the technologies with which he was familiar What were some of the unexpected positive outcomes of getting laid off even though it was difficult in the beginning? One positive, according to Dave, is the amount of people in his network he was able to reach out to on LinkedIn. So many people were open to helping. The only negative Dave thinks is maybe not acting quickly enough in starting his job search. “It's really about building not only your personal network but your professional network. And my professional network really came to my rescue and helped me understand that…it's not the end of the world. You're going to make it. You're going to do fine. But let me know if there's any way that I can help you in that journey that you're on right now.” – Dave Stevens Were there any things Dave and his wife had done (conscious or unconscious) to prepare for the layoff event based on market trends? Dave says his wife is very good at managing their home budget, and since they got married, they intentionally build a financial nest egg they could lean on in the event Dave was out of a job. 22:27 – Elements of the Personal and Professional Network What are some of the things Dave is even more intentional about now with his professional network than he was in the past? Dave received some great advice from a co-worker to reach out to one person in his professional network each week. Many times, Dave will do this on LinkedIn or even via text if he has the person's number. “Keep that personal connection going. As much as AI is taking over, as much as we do a lot of things on Zoom, I've learned over my years of working in the industry that there's nothing better than the face-to-face interaction…. It's so much more fun and relaxing to just get out of the office or home office…and just sit down with people and keep that personal connection going.” – Dave Stevens Dave mentions he likes to get together with co-workers in the area every now and then, even if they have the same conversation in person that they would have had on Zoom. It's different and more relaxing. How can younger listeners who may be trying to break into the industry build a professional network when they might not have a deep contact list or large network like someone in the industry for a long time? Nick and Dave talked about this before hitting record and thought it could be helpful to share during our discussion. Dave has a newfound perspective on this from being around his nephews and nieces. The job market is very different today than when Dave first began his career. “Nowadays, resumes just go into a black hole, and you don't necessarily know if you're still in the mix for a current job.” – Dave Stevens Dave has encouraged his nephews and nieces to leverage their personal network to build a professional network. He may know someone who knows someone in the field they want to pursue, for example. “There's no shame or harm in utilizing all your resources…. Utilize your personal network because you don't have the professional network built up yet to help you get that foot in the door.” – Dave Stevens Young people could even use their parents as a way to broaden their own network. It's an opportunity to get introduced to others. Dave uses the example of a chance meeting at a concert that could result in a new connection for someone. Nick would encourage younger listeners to get out to in-person meetup groups on any interesting topic. Go ask people what they are learning, why they work where they work, how they got there, and see if they have advice for you. Dave agrees and has leveraged both local professional groups and meetup groups in the New Hampshire area to meet new people. This is expanding your local professional network as Dave calls it (not to be confused with your global professional network) and is a great thing to do when you move to a new place. You never know when a conversation at a local meetup might help you get a warm lead on a job that will be posted soon. Did the layoff come up in interviews at all? How did Dave handle that? Dave says some people brought it up. In other cases, he brought it up in conversation, wanting people to know he was not let go for doing something wrong. 28:22 – Reaching Closure and Reflecting Back on the Lessons How did Dave know he had reached closure on the layoff situation? Dave thinks he was motivated to take action toward finding a job due to a fear of boredom. He had been working on various projects but knew he would run out of them at some point. Dave had enough time to adjust to not having a job, and he was ready to begin doing some kind of work again. “I didn't want to get bored. I hate being bored. I hate being bored at work. I hate being bored in general. That's really what the impetus was for me to go out and start looking…that fear of relaxing for too long and being bored.” – Dave Stevens At this point Dave reached further into his professional network beyond that first group of friends and former colleagues he mentioned earlier. Does taking action in a direction mean we're ready to move on from what happened? Is it when we have to discuss what happened in an interview, or is it something else? How do we measure this? Dave says it was easier to accept and felt mostly behind him when he was actively looking for a new position. He knew only he could take the actions to move forward. The feeling of what happened before went completely away when Dave accepted a new job at Pure. Dave feels he was very lucky to find a role. Lining up multiple interviews gave Dave momentum and a feeling of positivity. “I feel that people understand that I have the skills for these jobs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten 5 job interviews as quickly after I really started taking action to look for a job. So, I got lucky.” – Dave Stevens If Dave had to do it all again, what would he do differently? Dave feels he has about 10 more years left working in the tech industry. For now, Dave enjoys the job he has, wants to excel doing it, and wants to continue growing. Dave currently works for the best boss he's had to date. “He not only pushes me, but he pushes our entire team to just get better….” – Dave Stevens, on his current manager Dave tells us he does not want to be a people manager or a product manager. “I want to continue to excel and expand my depth of knowledge across the virtualization industry and the storage industry.” – Dave Stevens The work at Pure is very interesting to Dave, which is also motivating him to continue learning and excelling. Part of this is using more AI-focused tooling as it becomes available to use. What does Dave think the role of AI tools is in helping with one's job search? There are a number of tools out there we can leverage to analyze our resume. Dave suggests keeping track of which tool we've used to analyze our resume because that could be used to train a model. In addition to this, use AI to research companies. Use them to help you understand what companies are like and what their culture is like. Many people in a sales role within Pure, for example, use an AI tool of some kind to learn more about their customers. Nick reiterates the nuances of acquisitions. Dave worked for a company that was acquired by another company. Over time there was a pattern of people from the company which was acquired being laid off. Perhaps this is a sign we should watch for and prepare. Dave says we need to be looking at and listening for the signs coming toward us. He listens to his wife more intently when she makes a suggestion. Dave continues to check in with people in his professional network and offers advice when they need it. Dave would encourage all of us to use our personal and professional network if we end up in the situation he was in (experiencing a layoff). “Not everybody is going to be able to help you or is willing to reach out and help you, but when someone does…don't just brush it aside as they want something out of this. They probably genuinely want to help you. So, take advantage….” – Dave Stevens If you want to follow up with Dave on this conversation, Connect with Dave on LinkedIn Check out Dave's blog site Mentioned in the Outro The three week period Dave took to work on projects may have been what gave him the clarity on the type of work he did and did not want to do once he began his search. Dave mentions getting some great advice from his wife and her emphasis on him pursuing roles that would make him happy and be enjoyable work. This echoes something similar to what Brad Christian shared in Episode 264 – Back to Basics: Technology Bets and Industry Relationships with Brad Christian (2/2) when it came to choosing what to do next after a layoff.

De beursweek staat weer voor de deur, al is het maar een halve. Vanwege de Kerstdagen zijn de beurzen dicht na woensdagmiddag. Toch zijn er nog wel wat dingen die je in de gaten kunt houden. We horen hoe hard de Amerikaanse economie is gegroeid en er komt een herschikking van de AEX. Just Eat Takeaway is vertrokken als AEX-bedrijf, tegelijkertijd kwam Magnum er weer bij. Of er nog meer verandert horen we morgen al. Maar Errol Keyner van de VEB maakt zich vooral druk over de beoogde overname van OCI. Als dat doorgaat, verdwijnt OCI van de Amsterdamse beurs en wordt het opgeslokt door een bedrijf met een notering in Abu Dhabi, waarmee het vrijwel onbereikbaar is voor Nederlandse beleggers. 'Pure diefstal', zegt Errol, die er woest over is. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd! Iedere week vertelt een vriend van de show waar jouw focus moet liggen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hello everyone—Carlos here, taking a few audio notes before I properly hit record. I'll be filming the show later today on an epic summit run, hands free, with a point-and-shoot camera strapped to my chest. Douglas Creek is in full storm-surge mode this morning, swollen and loud, the kind of water that demands a photo or two for context. All of this is just note-taking for now, setting the scene before the actual program begins up near the resort.The sun is out, fifteen minutes in, hydration check done, and I'm heading toward Ash Road on the west side of the creek, trying to stay relaxed and honest in Zone 2. This route took me about an hour and fifteen last summer, and there's no need to rush it today. A brief stop, a drink, a friendly exchange with a fellow trail traveler and her dog, and a reminder that the mountain always introduces you to someone—or something—unexpected.That's enough notes for now. Time to stop talking, start climbing, and let the summit do the rest.

In Episode 235, Love's Pure Light, I'm sharing the Christmas message that has been resting on my heart this year—one centered on light, love, Jesus Christ, hope, burdens made light, and the unique divine light within you. As I've rehearsed with Millennial Choirs and Orchestras this season, one lyric from Silent Night has stayed with me: "Son of God, love's pure light." This episode explores what that really means for missionaries, returned missionaries, and families navigating the highs and lows of December. We'll talk about light as a noun, light as an adjective, and light as a verb, and how Christ's light continues to guide, lift, and illuminate our personal paths. I also dive into how your own divine light—your gifts, traits, personality, and spiritual DNA—are meant to shine, not shrink. Christmas can be heavy. Expectations run high. Darkness feels real. But the beauty of Christ's birth is that His light not only fills the world, it fills you. We explore how to receive His light, share it, lighten burdens (your own and others'), reconnect with joy, and allow yourself to shine in the unique way Heavenly Parents designed you to shine. My hope is that this episode gives you a moment of peace, clarity, and warmth during the holiday rush. Whether you're navigating missionary work, coming home from the mission, preparing to leave, or holding down the fort as a missionary mama — may you feel loved, lifted, and lit from within by love's pure light. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

Pure Telecom, the Irish-owned telecoms provider, has announced new results from its annual Connected Lives survey, which reveals that nearly one-in-four social media users (24%) have quit a social media platform because they disapprove of its owner, while 29% are considering doing so. The nationally representative survey of 1,001 adults in Ireland was conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Pure Telecom. The research suggests that ongoing debates around platform ownership may be negatively influencing user sentiment, with 67% expressing concern over who owns the platforms they use, versus 33% who said it doesn't bother them. Social media users aged 18 to 24 are the most likely to turn their back on platforms due to ownership concerns, with 28% having already done so and 37% considering it. The research found that the majority of social media users (62%) are concerned about the personal information that platforms have stored about them, as they worry how the platform owner might use it. As such, 50% of users have updated their privacy settings in the past 12 months. Concerns surrounding platform ownership have led many to consider an alternative social media network and 64% of social media users expressed an interest in signing up to an 'ethical' platform. However, many social media users find this prospect too idealistic, with 54% believing no such platform could ever exist. Pure Telecom's research also explored what people are posting on social media - and how much doctoring is happening beforehand. Excluding filters, over a third (37%) of social media users admit to editing their photos. Interestingly, this was 10% more prevalent in men (43%) than women (34%). Of those who edit their photos, the top edited features are skin tone (23%), lines and wrinkles (17%) and facial features (15%). In addition to this, 24% of social media users admit to travelling somewhere primarily to get photos for social media, and the number of photos stored in people's smartphone libraries averages at more than 7,500. Paul Connell, CEO, Pure Telecom said: "Social media ownership has become a divisive topic and it's interesting to see how the public personas of some owners are impacting the popularity of the social networks they lead. As concerns grow around data security and how ownership impacts personal privacy, our research indicates that users are losing faith in some platforms. "Despite this ongoing concern, our research found that 98% of adults are social media users, showing that people continue to seek online connections. At Pure Telecom, we are passionate about keeping those connections alive and delivering real value to individuals, households and businesses across Ireland." See more stories here.

Host Brien Gearin sits down with Adam Callinan, founder of Pentane and host of the Growth Mavericks podcast, who shares his journey from building a multi-million dollar beverage accessory company (that landed a deal on Shark Tank) to launching a SaaS platform that helps consumer brands and service businesses optimize their profitability.

It's the biggest episode of Wrestling Omakase ever- so big in fact that we had to split it in two, and here's the second part! John is back with an absolutely enormous lineup of 13 (!) guests for a two-part preview of Wrestle Kingdom Week, as we break down a simply absurd number of different promotions- 20 in total. All of our guests start by giving their opinions on each promotion's 2025 by giving them a letter grade, with thoughts on what went well and what could have gone better, as well as a look ahead at what 2026 could be for each one in general. Then we break down the Wrestle Kingdom Week schedule for every promotion: everything from the big ones (Wrestle Kingdom, Dream Queendom, Marigold at Ota Ward, TJPW's annual 1/4 Korakuen and more!) to the many other Korakuens and tiny shows being held all over the rest of Tokyo. No stone is left unturned in this one- it's a total breakdown of all of Japanese wrestling!Part 2 focuses on all of the women's (joshi) promotions. Please see below for the exact list of promotions covered in the order they appear on the show:-Marigold-Tokyo Joshi-Actwres girl'Z-STARDOM-OZ Academy-Ice Ribbon-Marvelous-SEAdLINNNG-ChocoPro-Diana-Pure-J-WAVEIn addition to covering all these different promotions, reviewing and recapping their years and looking ahead to their WK Week shows, we also get the breaking news of Saya Kamitani becoming the first ever women's wrestler to win the Tokyo Sports MVP while we were recording the AWG segment of this episode, so we all react to that live on the air!The guests who appear in Part 2, in their order of appearance, are below:-Dylan (Eastern Lariat: https://easternlariat.libsyn.com/)-Arametha-John DK (Check out his website here: https://dk1105.neocities.org/)-Jamie (DramaticDDT: https://dramaticddt.wordpress.com/)-Tim (Joshi-ing around podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5vEhF921sFtprCxTsWhqt6?si=d1da6785766042cd)-Snazzy (Also Joshi-ing around!)-Velkej Bracha (ActWres Stage podcast)-Rodrigo-Xyon (Derailments of Thought blog: https://derailmentsofthought.com/)Don't forget to check out Part 1 (Episode 276) if you missed it, which featured all of the men's promotions (NJPW, NOAH, AJPW, DDT & more!).Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In this gripping episode, East Tennessee witness Robbie Ferrell shares a lifetime of terrifying Bigfoot encounters stretching from the Smoky Mountain region to the secluded ridges, lake coves, and dense valleys surrounding his home. What begins as a normal day in the woods turns into a life-altering moment when Robbie hears impossible bipedal footsteps and a chilling mind-speak command telling him to leave.Over the years, Robbie experiences multiple close visual sightings, massive footprints near his bedroom window, mysterious gifting behavior, and even a night when a towering figure stands just feet from his workshop. His most shocking encounter occurs while exploring a remote Tennessee valley with researcher Harley Owens, where the two men are surrounded, growled at, and charged by multiple forest beings in an aggressive display that changed Robbie's view of the world forever.If you're fascinated by Sasquatch sightings, mind-speak experiences, Appalachian cryptids, Smoky Mountain mysteries, or real eyewitness accounts, this episode delivers one of the most compelling and emotionally raw Bigfoot testimonies recorded. Robbie opens up about fear, trauma, spiritual questions, and the deep desire for answers that keeps him searching despite the danger.Keywords: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Forest People, East Tennessee Bigfoot, Smoky Mountains Bigfoot, Tennessee sightings, mind-speak, cryptid encounters, Appalachian mysteries, eyewitness Bigfoot story, Harley Owens, Bigfoot chase, Bigfoot aggression, Tennessee ridge sightings.Resources:Contact Robbie: https://www.facebook.com/robbie.ferrell.1Contact Harley: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580318825726

A Trip Around the Chip I headed out midweek from Queensbury Avenue toward King's Pond, setting off on a familiar loop of the well-drained chip trail at Cedar Hill. The run felt like a trip down memory lane, with ducks on the pond, the million-dollar view, and the soft crunch of fresh chip underfoot despite the recent rain. I mixed steady jogging with short walk breaks as the rolling hills, muddy patches, and creek crossings kept things interesting. Even with interruptions for photos and trail chatter, I held a comfortable sub-nine-minute pace and stayed mostly in zone three. I finished the loop relaxed and content, knowing I'd parked the e-bike nearby to grab groceries before riding home.
Pure creatives are selfish. They create art for themselves. And your potential clients don't care about your personal creativity. They care about what's in it for them. So as a creative, we can't just be selfishly isolated in our little rooms creating art for art's sake because it fulfills us. When it comes to actually being a business owner, we have to create real value for other people, which means we can't be selfish when it comes to our creativity. We have to share it with others. As it says on the wall behind me in my office, “It takes more than passion.” If you're running a freelance business, don't forget - you're running a business. And that takes entrepreneurial skills that may not come naturally for many creatives. This week's episode is about finding the sweet spot between creativity and entrepreneurship. Both the creative and the entrepreneur are essential elements of your freelance business… And there are good parts and bad parts of both. In this episode you'll discover: Balancing the creative and entrepreneurial sides of your brain What entrepreneurs understand that creatives don't Using people, processes, and systems, to create value Keeping your creative spark alive Scheduling time for creative and entrepreneurial tasks Expanding your horizons by joining communities and finding mentors For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/393
It's all about Data Pipelines. Join Pure Storage Field Solution Architect Chad Hendron and Solutions Director Andrew Silifant for a deep dive into the evolution of data management, focusing on the Data Lakehouse architecture and its role in the age of AI and ML. Our discussion looks at the Data Lakehouse as a powerful combination of a data lake and a data warehouse, solving problems like "data swamps” and proprietary formats of older systems. Viewers will learn about technological advancements, such as object storage and open table formats, that have made this new architecture possible, allowing for greater standardization and multiple tooling functions to access the same data. Our guests also explore current industry trends, including a look at Dremio's 2025 report showing the rapid adoption of Data Lakehouses, particularly as a replacement for older, inefficient systems like cloud data warehouses and traditional data lakes. Gain insight into the drivers behind this migration, including the exponential growth of unstructured data and the need to control cloud expenditure by being more prescriptive about what data is stored in the cloud versus on-premises. Andrew provides a detailed breakdown of processing architectures and the critical importance of meeting SLAs to avoid costly and frustrating pipeline breaks in regulated industries like banking. Finally, we provide practical takeaways and a real-world case study. Chad shares a customer success story about replacing a large, complex Hadoop cluster with a streamlined Dremio and Pure Storage solution, highlighting the massive reduction in physical space, power consumption, and management complexity. Both guests emphasize the need for better governance practices to manage cloud spend and risk. Andrew underscores the essential, full-circle role of databases—from the "alpha" of data creation to the "omega" of feature stores and vector databases for modern AI use cases like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Tune in to understand how a holistic data strategy, including Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud, can simplify infrastructure and future-proof your organization for the next wave of data-intensive workloads.

This week, your favorite horror gremlins go on a full-blown Rutger Hauer appreciation spiral and collectively realize that Rutger Hauer might not have been acting—he might have just been like that.We dive headfirst into The Hitcher (1986), directed by Robert Harmon, a movie that wastes absolutely zero time politely introducing itself before immediately threatening your entire family. Rutger Hauer plays John Ryder like a supernatural force powered by desert heat, bad vibes, and pure “I woke up and chose violence.” We scream about the opening minutes, the lack of motivation (KING SHIT), the daytime horror, the infamous truck scene, and how this movie somehow convinces you thatthe cops are useless, the road is evil, and hitchhiking is basically consenting to a curse.Then we pivot into Surviving the Game (1994), directed by Ernest R. Dickerson, aka The Most Unhinged Rich White People Activity Ever Filmed. The legend that is Ice-T takes on Rutger Hauer, Gary Busey (at MAXIMUM Gary Busey), John C. McGinley, and F. Murray Abraham after they form the most deranged hunting party imaginable. We lose our minds over:Gary Busey writing his own monologue like a cursed prophet The flaming Gary Busey jump scare (cinema peaked here) Ice-T being hunted and immediately becoming an apex predator and deciding "nah, actually, I'm hunting YOU" A trophy room that traumatized us as children and still kinda does To complete the holy trinity, we bring in Hobo with a Shotgun (2011), directed by Jason Eisener, where Rutger Hauer plays a homeless vigilante like he's a mythological figure spawned from grindhouse fumes and righteous rage. We talk about how this movie feels like a fever dream someone had after watching too much VHS-era exploitation and how Rutger Hauer somehow makes “hobo with a shotgun” feel emotionally profound.Throughout the episode we: Argue about VHS vs 4K like it's a religion Praise Rutger Hauer for playing three completely different psychos flawlessly Accidently turn the podcast into Sam Elliott's Mustache: The Extended Cut Realize half these movies would absolutely rule even harder if they were slightly grainier and worse quality Agree that Rutger Hauer is one of the most underrated genre actors of all time This is less a review episode and more a group therapy session for people permanently altered by desert highways, human hunting games, and shotgun blasts.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 12th Publish Date: December 12th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, December 12th and Happy Birthday to Frank Sinatra I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Now here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre BREAK: THE STRAND STORY 1: Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb Cobb County’s making moves to keep pedestrians safer in south Cobb, tackling two big projects: a pedestrian bridge near Factory Shoals Road and new bollards at Mableton Town Square Park. Let’s start with Factory Shoals. That bridge over I-20? Built in 1963, and, well, it shows. No sidewalks, no bike lanes—just a narrow shoulder that’s barely walkable. Commissioner Monique Sheffield said it’s been a problem for years, especially for folks working at nearby businesses. Now, the county’s greenlit a plan for a new pedestrian bridge alongside the old one, connecting sidewalks on both sides. And Mableton Park? Bollards are coming to stop cars from driving onto the grounds—because, yes, that’s been happening. STORY 2: Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects The Gateway Marietta CID wants your thoughts—yes, yours—on 12 infrastructure projects they’re planning. These aren’t just random ideas; they’re focused on Franklin Gateway, South Marietta Parkway, and Delk Road. What’s on the table? Everything from streetscapes and trails to bridge replacements and new road connections. Some projects, like the Rottenwood Creek Trail extension ($20 million!) and Franklin Gateway bridge rebuild, are already in motion. Others, like adding Gateway signage or narrowing roads for multiuse trails, are still in the “what do you think?” phase. Your input will help shape what gets prioritized. Got opinions? Take the survey before the master plan wraps next year. Visit engage.publiccoordinate.com/en/project/gateway-marietta-cid-project-prioritization. STORY 3: The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker The Georgia Ballet’s The Nutcracker is back, running Dec. 18–23 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre, and it’s bringing all the holiday magic you’d expect—plus a little extra sparkle this year. Here’s the twist: they’ve teamed up with Hamp & Harry’s, a Marietta Square favorite, to add some festive flair. Think Nutcracker-themed cocktails (yes, there’s wine and beer too) in the lobby before the show and during intermission. The ballet itself? Pure enchantment. Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, Clara’s midnight adventure, snowflakes, sweets, and Daet Rodriguez’s choreography. There’s even a Sensory-Friendly performance on Dec. 18—perfect for kids or anyone needing a gentler experience. Tickets start at $23. Don’t wait. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: North Cobb Christian student wins statewide essay contest North Cobb Christian seventh-grader Samille Shy just snagged first place in Georgia for her essay, “What Is Patriotism to Me?”—a big win in the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen contest, which had over 120,000 entries nationwide. Samille’s take on patriotism? It’s about giving back. She wrote about volunteering at a food pantry, helping out at The Humane Society, singing with her school chorus on Veterans Day, and being part of the Sea Cadet Corps. The Georgia VFW loved it, awarding her top honors. Next stop? The regional competition. Not bad for a middle schooler, huh? STORY 5: McEachern rolls into state championship game Every time McEachern scores, the announcer calls out the updated score. And when the opponent has zero? Oh, the crowd lives for it. They stretch it out—“zerooooooo”—like it’s a victory chant. They’ve had plenty of practice. Over the last two seasons, McEachern’s flag football team has gone 51-2, allowing just 2.9 points per game with 35 shutouts. Monday was no different. The Indians blanked Lithia Springs 19-0, then crushed North Forsyth 33-0 to punch their ticket to the state championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now, McEachern heads to the championship, chasing back-to-back titles. GEORGIA TECH: No. 22 Georgia Tech is heading to the Pop-Tarts Bowl to take on No. 12 BYU on Saturday, Dec. 27, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Kickoff’s at 3:30 p.m., and you can catch it live on ABC. This marks Tech’s third straight bowl trip—something they haven’t pulled off since 2012-14—and their 48th all-time, which ranks 14th in college football history. With a 9-3 record, it’s their best regular season since 2014. BYU (11-2) comes in hot, despite two losses to Texas Tech. It’s a ranked-vs.-ranked showdown, Tech’s first since the 2014 Orange Bowl. History’s on their side—they’re 2-0 in this bowl. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk We’ll have closing comments after this.

Former Patriots and Bills QB Matt Cassel stops by Centered on Buffalo and brings the heat! He and Eric Wood break down the massive Bills-Patriots showdown, Drake Maye's ridiculous MVP-caliber season under Vrabel and Josh McDaniels, why Josh Allen remains the ultimate franchise QB, and who really deserves the lion's share of credit for the Patriots dynasty—Brady or Belichick? Cassel finally tells the complete, unfiltered stories from his legendary prank war with Tom Brady (glitter bombs, stolen tires, Atomic Balm in the underwear—the works), reacts to Philip Rivers un-retiring, explains how to fix the college football mess, and locks in his official Bills-Patriots pick.
