What if the very shoes designed to protect you are actually making you more prone to injury?If you've ever wondered why your feet still hurt even though you keep buying softer shoes, this episode breaks it all down. I dig into what heavy cushioning actually does to your body, why variety matters more than any single “perfect” shoe, and how foot strength changes the way you run. You'll hear the simple steps I use to build tougher, more responsive feet, plus how to choose and rotate shoes so your body gets stronger instead of overloaded. If you've been stuck in the cycle of soreness, this might be the reset your running needs.Key TakeawaysMax-cushion shoes might feel comfortable, but they can weaken your feet over time by reducing natural shock absorption and muscle engagement.Running in the same shoe every day creates repetitive stress—rotating between different types of shoes helps build strength and prevent injury.Your feet need feedback from the ground to stay strong and stable; too much cushion dulls that connection and can hurt your form.Timestamps[00:58] The Run Shoe Industry Story[01:36] The Science Behind Super Shoes[03:14] What's The Real Problem?[04:21] Use This To Get Strong Feet[04:56] Why Feet Matter More Than Shoes[05:40] Train Your Feet - Step 1: Stop Wearing One Shoe for Everything[07:32] Step 2: Build Foot Strength Progressively[08:34] Step 3: Use Max Cushion Strategically, Not Exclusively[09:07] Step 4: Pay Attention to Ground Feel[10:00] Understand This About Gear and You'll Actually Run Faster FartherLinks & Learnings

In this episode, John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, ranked No. 879 on the Inc. 5000 in 2025. Joins Gene Hammett to talk about what it really takes to build a "category of one" business. Bradford shares how visionary leadership and relentless execution go hand in hand, why founders must be honest about the size of their total addressable market, and how underestimating demand can limit growth. He draws on Pet Screening's success in helping landlords manage pet policy compliance amid America's growing pet population, while also unpacking the importance of strong core values, genuine team engagement, and empowering individuals to contribute to sales in a collaborative culture. Along the way, Bradford reflects on learning from mistakes, taking full responsibility as a leader, and using real market feedback to sharpen strategy, offering practical, experience-driven insights for entrepreneurs focused on long-term growth and leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:01 The Birth of Pet Screening 6:18 Creating a Category of One 8:10 Common Mistakes in Creating a Category 10:49 The Essence of Relentless Execution 12:27 Core Values That Drive Success 14:36 Living Your Values in Practice 16:27 Lessons from Leadership Mistakes 19:18 Conclusion and Call to Action Building a Category of One Starts with the Market John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, joins Gene Hammett to discuss what it takes to build a true category-of-one business, starting with the importance of market size. Bradford stresses that even the best ideas fall flat if they do not address a meaningful total addressable market (TAM). He cautions entrepreneurs against underestimating market potential, noting that ideas aimed at small audiences often remain side projects rather than scalable companies. A strong vision must be matched with a market large enough to support long-term growth. Solving a Real Problem at Scale Bradford explains how Pet Screening emerged from his background in property management and technology, identifying a widespread problem landlords face in managing pet policies. With roughly 160 million pets in America and a growing number of pet-owning households, the demand is substantial. Pet Screening's software helps landlords ensure pet policy compliance while reducing fraudulent emotional support animal claims, positioning the platform as a trusted, nationwide solution in the housing industry. Visionary Leadership, Core Values, and Execution The conversation turns to leadership, where Bradford shares how strong core values and daily execution shape company culture. He emphasizes that values must be lived, not just stated, and highlights Pet Screening's focus on equal opportunity, making an impact, and keeping work enjoyable. Bradford also underscores relentless execution, encouraging every team member to understand and support the product, including participating in sales. This shared ownership drives efficiency, creativity, and alignment across the organization. Learning from Mistakes and Listening to the Market Bradford openly discusses the role of mistakes in entrepreneurship, advocating for accountability at the leadership level rather than blame within the team. This approach builds trust and encourages innovation. He also highlights the importance of market feedback, urging founders to seek honest input beyond friends and family to refine ideas and validate demand. The episode concludes with practical insights on how visionary leadership, execution, feedback, and ownership intersect to drive sustainable growth, reinforcing that leadership and scaling are inseparable. Key Takeaways Vision alone is not enough successful category-of-one companies pair bold leadership with disciplined execution. Market size matters; even strong ideas struggle without a sufficiently large total addressable market (TAM). Solving a real, widespread problem creates momentum and positions a business for scalable growth. Core values must be demonstrated through daily actions to foster trust, engagement, and accountability. Involving the entire team in understanding and supporting sales strengthens alignment and execution. Effective leaders own mistakes, creating a culture where learning and innovation thrive. Market feedback is a strategic asset and should come from diverse, unbiased sources. Long-term growth is driven by the integration of leadership, culture, and continuous refinement of strategy.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor break down the Cleveland Cavaliers' narrow 130-126 win over the Washington Wizards and why it felt like a continuation of their inconsistency. Coming off a five-day break designed to clean up defensive issues, the Cavs instead delivered one of their sloppiest performances of the season, leaning on yet another superhero effort from Donovan Mitchell just to escape with a win. The conversation also dives into coaching decisions that are becoming increasingly questionable — and what it all says about Cleveland's standards moving forward. Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone's seen the Shriners in their tiny cars and funny hats, but why has the Catholic Church been warning against Freemasonry for almost 300 years — and still considers it an excommunicable offense? In this episode Greg and Cory unpack the real origins of Freemasonry (hint: it's got nothing to do with actual bricklaying), its Enlightenment roots, its deistic “Great Architect” religion, and why it set itself up as a direct rival to Catholic Christianity from day one. We trace how those ideas fueled both the American and French Revolutions, quietly shaped modern secular culture, and why — even today — a Catholic simply cannot square Masonic oaths with the Creed. If you've ever wondered why the Church seems to “punch down” on what looks like a harmless men's club, this episode will flip the whole picture upside down.

Why Client Poaching Isn't the Real Problem in Your Studio (and What To Fix Instead)Hosted by: Christa Gurka, PT, OCS | Fit Biz StrategiesIf you've ever panicked because a client followed an instructor out the door… or you've worried that an instructor is “stealing” clients… this episode is going to flip that narrative on its head.Inside our boutique fitness and wellness studios, client poaching feels personal — but it's actually a symptom of deeper operational issues. And the good news? You can fix them.In today's episode, Christa breaks down why poaching happens, what's really driving client loyalty (hint: it's not what you think), and how to build a brand-first, team-centered system that keeps clients AND instructors loyal to your studio — not just one star player.Whether you run a Pilates studio, private practice PT clinic, yoga studio, or any wellness brick-and-mortar, this is a MUST-listen as you head into 2026.✨ What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy “client poaching” is not an instructor problem — it's a systems problemThe #1 hiring mistake most studio owners make (and how it leads to client loss later)How unclear onboarding creates blurred boundaries, confusion, and client attachment to individualsWhy clients start identifying instructors — not your studio — as the “product”How to flip your culture from star instructors to one cohesive teamWhat healthy studio ecosystems look like (and what broken ones look like)The systems Christa used at Pilates in the Grove to maintain brand loyaltyExactly what expectations, policies, and boundaries need to be in placeHow to create a culture where clients feel connected to the brand, not one personThe essential contracts every studio should have (even with ICs!)Leadership questions to ask yourself before blaming an instructorWhy 2026 must be the year you build or rebuild your foundations

Dr. Steve Mancini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steve-m-b59a525/Marco Ciappelli: https://www.marcociappelli.com/Nothing Has Changed in Cybersecurity Since War Games — And That's Why We're in Trouble"Nothing has changed."That's not what you expect to hear from someone with four decades in cybersecurity. The industry thrives on selling the next revolution, the newest threat, the latest solution. But Dr. Steve Mancini—cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Italy's Honorary Consul in Pittsburgh—wasn't buying any of it. And honestly? Neither was I.He took me back to his Commodore 64 days, writing basic war dialers after watching War Games. The method? Dial numbers, find an open line, try passwords until one works. Translate that to today: run an Nmap scan, find an open port, brute force your way in. The principle is identical. Only the speed has changed.This resonated deeply with how I think about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society. We're so consumed with the digital evolution—the folding screens, the AI assistants, the cloud computing—that we forget the human vulnerabilities underneath remain stubbornly analog. Social engineering worked in the 1930s, it worked when I was a kid in Florence, and it works today in your inbox.Steve shared a story about a family member who received a scam call. The caller asked if their social security number "had a six in it." A one-in-nine guess. Yet that simple psychological trick led to remote software being installed on their computer. Technology gets smarter; human psychology stays the same.What struck me most was his observation about his students—a generation so immersed in technology that they've become numb to breaches. "So what?" has become the default response. The data sells, the breaches happen, you get two years of free credit monitoring, and life goes on. Groundhog Day.But the deeper concern isn't the breaches. It's what this technological immersion is doing to our capacity for critical thinking, for human instinct. Steve pointed out something that should unsettle us: the algorithms feeding content to young minds are designed for addiction, manipulating brain chemistry with endorphin kicks from endless scrolling. We won't know the full effects of a generation raised on smartphones until they're forty, having scrolled through social media for thirty years.I asked what we can do. His answer was simple but profound: humans need to decide how much they want technology in their lives. Parents putting smartphones in six-year-olds' hands might want to reconsider. Schools clinging to the idea that they're "teaching technology" miss the point—students already know the apps better than their professors. What they don't know is how to think without them.He's gone back to paper and pencil tests. Old school. Because when the power goes out—literally or metaphorically—you need a brain that works independently.Ancient cultures, Steve reminded me, built civilizations with nothing but their minds, parchment, and each other. They were, in many ways, a thousand times smarter than us because they had no crutches. Now we call our smartphones "smart" while they make us incrementally dumber.This isn't anti-technology doom-saying. Neither Steve nor I oppose technological progress. The conversation acknowledged AI's genuine benefits in medicine, in solving specific problems. But this relentless push for the "easy button"—the promise that you don't have to think, just click—that's where we lose something essential.The ultimate breach, we concluded, isn't someone stealing your data. It's breaching the mind itself. When we can no longer think, reason, or function without the device in our pocket, the hackers have already won—and they didn't need to write a single line of code.Subscribe to the Redefining Society and Technology podcast.

Big O talks the REAL Problem with the Miami Dolphins 113025

There's a good chance you've seen the headline making its rounds: Ford's CEO is on record claiming they have over 5,000 open mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year that they just can't fill.  When I heard it, I had a reaction because the statement is deeply disconnected from reality. It's a gross oversimplification based on surface-level logic, and frankly, it is completely false. (A few minutes of research will prove that, if you don't believe me.)  This week on Future Focused, I'm not just picking apart Ford. I'm using this as a case study for a very dangerous trend: blaming job seekers for problems that originate inside the company.  The real danger here is that leaders are confusing the total cost of a role with the actual take-home salary. That one detail lets them pass the buck and avoid facing the actual problems, like:  ​Underinvestment in skill development.  ​Outdated job designs and seeking the mythical "unicorn" candidate.  ​Lack of clear growth pathways for current employees.  ​Systemic issues that stay hidden because no one is asking the hard questions.  If you're a leader struggling to hire, you don't have a talent crisis; you have an alignment crisis and a diagnostic crisis.  I talk through a case study inside a large organization where I was forced to turn high turnover and high vacancy around by looking in the mirror. I'll walk some key shifts like:  ​Dump the Perfect Candidate Myth right now, because that person doesn't exist and hiring them at the ceiling only creates a flight risk.  ​Hire for Core Capabilities like adaptability, curiosity, and problem-solving, instead of a checklist of specific job titles or projects.  ​Diagnose Without Assigning Blame by having honest conversations with the people actually doing the job to find out the real blockers.  By the end, I hope you'll be convinced that change comes from the person looking back at you in the mirror, not the person you're trying to hire.  ⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey explore Michael Bungay Stanier's transformative work, The Advice Trap, a companion to his earlier book, The Coaching Habit. Michael delves into the concept of the “Advice Monster,” explaining how the impulse to offer quick solutions often leads to ineffective problem-solving. Instead, he advocates for staying curious longer to encourage deeper understanding and foster self-sufficiency in others. This approach not only enhances leadership and coaching skills but also improves personal relationships and parenting.Throughout the episode, Michael breaks down the three types of advice monsters: Tell It, Save It, and Control It, and offers practical tips on how to tame them. By shifting the focus from providing answers to asking the right questions, you'll learn how to empower others to think critically and solve problems on their own. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their coaching, leadership, and communication skills, especially in work environments, parenting, or coaching settings.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[03:50] Three types of advice monsters and how they manifest in everyday life[07:40] How giving advice too quickly leads to solving the wrong problem[12:18] The art of asking questions instead of offering solutions[15:01] How the advice trap shows up in parenting, and how space can empower others[19:13] Why seeking control prevents growth and what true empowerment looks likeNotable Quotes[03:25] "The advice monster is a sneaky impulse that wants to jump in with answers before we truly understand what's going on." – Michael Bungay Stanier[10:29] "We all rush to solve problems, but sometimes the first problem isn't even the real problem." – Michael Bungay Stanier[12:00] "Advice is everywhere, but what people really need is space to think and explore for themselves." – Michael Bungay Stanier[19:13] "The act of listening to understand is not about being smart, it's about giving up control and empowering the other person." – Michael Bungay StanierResourcesParadigm Shifting BooksPodcastInstagram YouTube BookThe Advice Trap by Michael Bungay StanierMichael Bungay StanierWebsiteLinkedInInstagramBritain CoveyLinkedIn InstagramStephen H.

He has extensive experience at the highest levels of financial policy, having served as the Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he was responsible for policy on banks, credit unions, insurance, fintech, and financial cybersecurity. Prior to his role at Treasury, he directed the Corporations and Society Initiative at Stanford Graduate School of Business. His formative policy experience was on Capitol Hill, where he served for nearly eight years on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, including as Chief Counsel for the Democratic Staff, working on the Dodd-Frank Act in response to the 2008 financial crisis.Interviewer:Lloyd Levine (Former California State Assemblymember, UCR School of Public Policy Senior Policy Fellow)Key Discussion Points:History Repeats Itself: Exploring how cryptocurrency echoes past eras of private money creation like the "Free Banking" and "shadow banking" eras, which often led to financial instability and government intervention.Crypto vs. Blockchain: A simple breakdown: cryptocurrency is the digital asset (like Bitcoin), while blockchain is the underlying technology that records the transactions.Public vs. Private Money: Why government-backed money (like the U.S. dollar) has inherent stability and consumer protections that private cryptocurrencies lack.Solving a Real Problem? Analyzing crypto's promise of faster, cheaper payments and greater financial inclusion against its current realities, such as high volatility and reliance on the traditional banking system.A Regulatory Wild West: The challenges of regulating a borderless, often anonymous system, including fraud, "rug pulls," and market manipulation.The Future of Crypto: Will it become a responsible financial tool, remain a niche investment, or continue to pose systemic risks?

Minnesota 24, Nebraska 6—and it felt worse.

Is Nebraska's offensive line development the program's biggest long-term problem? What's fair criticism of Donovan Raiola after five seasons? And where do Matt Rhule and his coordinators fit in when halftime adjustments don't show up?

What if procrastination isn't the real problem? What if what you see — the delay, the excuses, the inconsistency — is just smoke… and the real fire is underneath? In today's episode, I'm walking you through a real conversation I had with a client in DEFENSE, where we uncovered the truth behind her procrastination — and it wasn't time management. It wasn't planning. It was belief. Identity. A narrow picture of what change had to look like… that she didn't even want to live. We talk about: Why solving surface problems doesn't lead to lasting change How “diet food” and “I don't like exercise” become unconscious blocks What to do when you tell yourself “I'm just not worthy” Why you don't need to be addicted to your comfort zone anymore
