Happy holidays—and I hope you enjoyed the first round of the College Football Playoff.With Christmas approaching and another college football season sliding toward its next chapter, Jim Mora is beginning one of his own.The new head coach at Colorado State joined the Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, to share the why behind his decision to lead CSU in the reborn Pac-12.What struck me most in our conversation wasn't the résumé—NFL head coach, UCLA head coach, program rebuilder at Connecticut, mentor to generations—not even our long friendship.It was the choice.The decision to take on something unfinished. To step into uncertainty. To begin again—not because he had to, but because he wanted to.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Jim Mora has lived inside football his entire life. Not as a job, but as an inheritance. A family calling that shaped him as a coach, a son, a father, a husband, and a leader. From the Pac-8 days of his father's career, to playing in the Pac-10, to coaching in the Pac-12, his journey mirrors the evolution of the sport itself.Which is why this moment matters.Colorado State isn't a nostalgia play.It's a belief play.Jim is stepping into a re-imagined Pac-12. Into a conference finding its footing again. Into a program searching for identity and traction in a version of college football none of us could have fully imagined five years ago.NIL.The portal.Revenue sharing.An expanded College Football Playoff.Realignment.For some, that landscape feels overwhelming.For Jim Mora, it feels familiar.He sees today's college football ecosystem as closer to the NFL than ever before. The portal functions like free agency. Recruiting resembles a draft. Financial realities echo a salary cap. The guardrails may differ, but the principles remain the same: roster construction, culture, alignment, and adaptability.That word—adaptability—came up again and again.You have to have a plan.You have to believe in fundamentals.You have to hold standards.And you also have to be willing to adjust—often daily—without losing your core.Coach Mora learned that from some of the greatest to ever do it: Hall of Fame coaches and executives who shaped how he views leadership, decision-making, and sustained excellence.But none of it works without people.Coach Mora has always been clear about that.Building programs. Scaling mountains. Taking on challenges without guarantees. College football continues to pull him in because of the impact—the opportunity to shape young people during some of the most formative years of their lives. To teach lessons not only through success, but through failure. To help players grow into men, not commodities.That perspective matters now more than ever.The mountain ahead is clear.A new program.A re-imagined conference.A legitimate—though demanding—path toward competing on the sport's biggest stages.And a daily commitment to do the work required to turn ambition into reality.Jim Mora isn't chasing legacy.He isn't chasing comfort.He's chasing alignment with the work.And maybe that's the clearest lesson of all.After all this time, he finally feels like he knows what he's doing—even as he embraces the truth that the climb never ends.I think you'll enjoy this conversation as we all head into the holiday season, hopefully with a little time off, a good hike, or a fun surf.On behalf of all of us at Y-Option, thank you for your love, support, and community.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

 ELECTION NIGHT LANDSLIDE AND POLITICAL REALIGNMENT Colleague David Pietrusza. On election night, early returns from Connecticut signaled a massive victory for Roosevelt, contradicting the predictions of the Literary Digest straw poll. Roosevelt won a historic landslide, capturing 46 states and sweeping huge Democraticmajorities into Congress. This victory marked a permanent political realignment, as the children of immigrants in major cities overwhelmingly voted for Roosevelt. While Landon's campaign was decimated, the election solidified the Democratic Party's shift from a Southern-dominated organization to a national coalition powered by urban centers and the working class, cementing the triumph of the liberal ideal.

Sometimes, doing all the "right things" still doesn't move the needle. You're showing up, sharing your expertise, creating valuable content—but the connections? The traction? They're just not happening. In today's episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, I'm joined by Adam Pounds, a content strategist and relationship architect who's been on both sides of that experience. We talk about what it really means to feel "successfully stuck," that frustrating place where effort doesn't quite lead to results — and explore how shifting from performance to presence can change everything. Adam shares thoughtful insights on leading with value, building real relationships online, and why the human element matters more now than ever. So what's missing? Connection. And Adam reveals exactly how to fix it. You'll discover his powerful "Three R Framework" for outreach that feels like service, not spam. Plus, you'll hear how AI can support — not replace — the human touch, and how value-first engagement can lead to real relationships and business growth. This episode is packed with perspective-shifting insights, practical strategies, and actionable steps to help you move from performance to presence and from content to connection. Key Takeaways: Why "successfully stuck" content creators struggle despite showing up consistently. How to use Adam's Three R Framework: Right Person, Right Time, Right Value. Why "permission-based outreach" builds trust and leads to stronger relationships. How to integrate AI with heart and without losing the human touch. Why volume doesn't equal value: how to shift from noise to resonance. What "value-first outreach" actually looks like (and how to do it). How voice and nuance help AI reflect your true message. Why who you are matters more than how often you post. How to move from digital connections to meaningful conversations. Why visibility reluctance is often a sign you're focusing too much on yourself.

On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I break down a problem I see all the time in our industry: identity drift. When your purpose, priorities, and daily practices stop lining up, the entire business starts to wobble. I walk through the identity compass and show how it helps you get centered again so you can make decisions that actually move the restaurant forward. If you feel pulled in a hundred directions or unsure why your growth has stalled, this conversation will help you refocus on what matters and clear out the noise holding you back.  TakeawaysYour purpose isn't a tagline. It's a compass for every decision.Priorities reveal your real beliefs; budgets and calendars are your true mission statements.What you invest in is what you believe.The real mission statements are lived through repetition.Burnout isn't caused by effort, it's caused by confusion.Alignment gives your effort direction.Start by writing your restaurant's one line purpose.Audit your spending to match your purpose.Add a branch head question for pre-shift lineups.Eliminate one tactic that isn't serving your compass.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Full Comp and AI Toolkit01:55 Understanding Identity Drift in Restaurants05:45 The Identity Compass: Purpose, Priority, and Practice07:34 Practical Steps for Realignment and ImprovementIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

On this episode of Reaganism, Dan Rothschild, director of the Civics, Education, and Opportunity at RRI sits down with Steve Davies, Head of Education at the Institute of Economic Affairs to discuss his upcoming book, "The Great Realignment: Why the New Right Is Here to Stay." Dan and Steve explore the evolving ideological alignment underway in the United States and across the globe. Steve argues that the split today is no longer governed by economic philosophy as it was from 1800s-2000s but is rooted in a new understanding of one's national identity.

Ghost delivers one of his most sweeping geopolitical breakdowns yet, mapping out a rapidly shifting Middle East where alliances, conflicts, and power structures are moving faster than the mainstream can keep up. He begins by framing the week through his four essential lenses, Q, Devolution/Continuity of Government, the Sovereign Alliance, and Trumpomania, to explain why division, controlled friction, and political “kayfabe” are not signs of collapse but strategic components of a much bigger operation. From there, Ghost dives into the deepening fracture between Israel and Turkey, Netanyahu's escalating rhetoric, joint Israeli–Greek defense drills, intelligence leaks, and the quiet American hand shaping the region. He unpacks Jonathan Pollard's explosive influence inside Israel, Huckabee's controversial meeting with him, the nuclear brinkmanship behind Iran strikes, and why Netanyahu is openly preparing for the possibility of conflict with Erdogan. The episode then widens to Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, the Abraham Accords, and Tom Barrack's behind-the-scenes diplomatic influence, revealing how Trump-era alignments are reshaping the board. Ghost closes with updates on Congo, ISIS-linked operations in Africa, and the emerging U.S.–Russia peace structure designed to end the Ukraine conflict. A dense, global, razor-sharp hour of pure geopolitical clarity.

What if one question could unlock hidden talent, prevent regrettable exits, and personalize careers today?This episode of The Good Leadership Podcast is the second part of my conversation with Dr. Beverly Kaye and Dr. Dave Ulrich where we dig into the conversations that actually keep great people: learning from mistakes (and wins), stay interviews, career LEVER moves (Lateral, Explore, Vertical, Enrichment, Realignment, Relocation), and how to personalize careers in an AI era.

Live from the Senior Living Innovation Forum's Fall Conference, Steve Moran sits down with entrepreneur and former public-company CEO Ben Lytle to rethink aging through the lens of human potential. They dig into why perspective is the beginning of wisdom, how the "tension of opposites" unlocks better decisions, and how communities can become places where older adults live their best lives and leave a legacy. Ben lays out practical plays: behavior-change ecosystems (beyond apps), incentive-aligned healthcare, gamified and personalized wellness, intergenerational engagement—and even AI "alter egos" that preserve residents' stories while supporting daily well-being. If you're building tomorrow's senior living, this conversation is your blueprint. They cover: Perspective > pessimism: By most measures we're in the best time in history; wisdom starts with context and proportion. Tension of opposites: Leaders who hold and integrate conflicting viewpoints create more innovative, workable solutions. Human potential as a value proposition: Market your community as a place to live your best life and leave a legacy. Legacy tech: Offer residents AI "alter egos" to capture stories, wisdom, and family history—and even support daily wellness checks. Behavior change needs an ecosystem: App + clinical endorsement + coaching + community = real, sustained health improvements. Gamified, personalized health: Give residents clear "optimal health scores," daily actions, and peer comparisons to drive engagement. Realignment of incentives: Pay providers for improving outcomes, not volume—primary care and aging services benefit first. Democratizing senior living: Use scalable tech and redesigned services to deliver quality experiences at a lower cost and to more people.

Recorded on a cold, rain-soaked Monday morning before heading to Chamonix, this episode dives deep into one of the most powerful frameworks I teach inside Mission 365  The Three E's: Evolve, Execute, and Embody. These three stages are the foundation for growth, consistency, and becoming the man capable of holding the life, business, and relationships you say you want. In this episode, I break down: What it truly means to evolve, the process of shifting identity and mindset to meet the next version of yourself. How to execute with clarity and consistency, even when motivation fades. Why embodying your standards and systems is where true transformation begins. You'll learn how to spot which stage you're currently in, why most men get stuck halfway through, and how to build the depth, structure, and self-leadership required to reach the next level. These are the same principles I teach to the men inside our live Focus Days, simple, practical, and game-changing when applied properly.

Marshall and Jeffrey discuss how debates over Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson's ideas about the power of government has shaped America's political debates since the 18th century, whether our struggle to make government work effectively to accomplish its goals results from too much Jeffersonianism, why political philosophy isn't just an academic interest, and how Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump's project of attacking the administrative state and the government power will stand the test of time. 

What does it mean to bring feminine energy into leadership and parenting?   In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Shavon Terrell-Camper, a Realignment Coach and former therapist with over 3,000 hours of coaching experience helping individuals build self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and authentic leadership. Shavon shares how to shift from default masculine approaches—power, control, being right—into a more expansive definition of leadership and parenting grounded in feminine energy.   Go beyond default definitions: Strong leadership doesn't have to mean domination or control. Feminine energy invites us to evolve past fear, hold space, and lead with authenticity.   See the benefits of feminine energy and choice points: In a culture of "go, go, go," we can pause and ask, What do I need to nourish my business, family, and self? or How can I hold space instead of forcing outcomes?   Start with you: Leadership and parenting begin with the relationship we have with ourselves. Rather than fixing others, we can focus on treating ourselves with compassion and presence.   Shavon's wisdom is a powerful reminder that we don't have to lead or parent from default settings—we can choose to bring more feminine energy to care for ourselves, our families, and our teams.   Check out Shavon's family workshop offering to improve communication and connection here.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-114-embrace-feminine-energy-in-leadership-and-parenting-with-shavon-terrell-camper/

Then we name the real leverage points—who actually sets direction, who dodges blame, and where accountability needs to land if the Falcons want a culture that travels past Thanksgiving.We widen the lens with teams that are getting it right. The Rams, Jets, Ravens, and Packers illustrate the same truth: buttoned-up programs beat clever play sheets. You see it in how Stafford is managed, how a locker room rallies for a first win, how Harbaugh squeezes value from backups, and how Green Bay readied Jordan Love to stand tall opposite Aaron Rodgers. Across the league, discipline and identity compound; talent and tricks fade.College football isn't spared. We unpack LSU's buyout drama and the dangers of political meddling, then argue for a sane coaching calendar so recruiting and transfers don't devolve into chaos. Realignment gets put on blast for turning regional rivalries into cross-country marathons that punish families and academics. NIL isn't the problem; leadership without a framework is.We close with the NBA's high-octane reality: scoring is booming, whistles are hot, and totals are wild. That's fun—until betting variance and foul volume start to swamp the experience. We celebrate Wimby's leap while wrestling with how guard value is getting squeezed in awards and contracts. And we don't duck the gambling shadow. Competitiveness, money, and optics now live center court; transparency and standards need to catch up.If you want unvarnished takes, smart context, and picks with teeth, this is your run.

Marshall and Reihan discussed culture's impact on the economy and politics through the lens of immigration. They cover the struggles of multigenerational working-class immigrants facing a new cultural and economic landscape and the right's increasing turn against H1B visas and high-skilled immigration through the lens of Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's comments about American children choosing sleepovers over hard work.

Sermon Summary: “Jesus the Cornerstone” (Mark 12:10–11) “‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'” — Mark 12:10–11 Introduction: A Title That Tells a Story Coleton opened by recalling a childhood nickname—“The Master of Disaster”—a title that summed up his habit of breaking things and then turning to his brother's belongings for replacements. He explained how nicknames often tell us something true about who a person is. In this passage, Jesus gives Himself a title drawn from Psalm 118—the Cornerstone. This name, Coleton explained, reveals how Jesus wants to operate in our lives: as the foundation and guide upon which everything else depends. Coleton invited the church to explore two key characteristics of a cornerstone—and how they reveal what Jesus wants to be for us. 1. The Cornerstone Was the First Stone Laid A cornerstone was always the first and most important stone in ancient construction. It determined the direction, shape, and alignment of every other stone that followed. Builders would measure every subsequent piece against it. “Whatever the cornerstone looked like, the other stones would look like.” Coleton said that's what Jesus wants to be for us: the one who shapes our lives, directs our paths, and forms our character. He's not trying to control us—He's trying to lead and form us into His likeness. Coleton then painted a vivid contrast between our human tendencies and Christ's character: We Are Jesus Is Impatient Long-suffering Selfish Selfless Proud Humble Discontent Trusting Fearful Courageous Worried Peaceful Busy & stressed Unhurried Afraid of rejection Secure in the Father's love Lustful Self-controlled Unforgiving Infinitely forgiving Empty Full and overflowing “The virtues we're searching for,” Coleton said, “are not found apart from Him—they are found in Him.” Therefore, whatever or whoever is your cornerstone will shape your life into its image. Reflection Questions Coleton Posed: What is shaping your anger, your spending, your relationships? Who decides how you treat your spouse, raise your kids, or forgive others? What dictates your habits—Jesus or your desires? Coleton challenged listeners: If Jesus isn't the one shaping your decisions, then something else is. That “something else” has become your cornerstone. 2. The Cornerstone Was the Strongest Stone The cornerstone wasn't just first—it was also the strongest. It had to bear the weight of the entire structure and withstand storms. If it crumbled, the whole building collapsed. Coleton used this to illustrate why Jesus is the only foundation that won't fail: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be shaken.” — Isaiah 28:16 Everything else in life—success, relationships, money, career, beauty, reputation—is fragile. If those things fall apart, so will we. But Jesus is the only foundation that can never be shaken. Coleton shared personally about how, early in his life, his relationship with Rainey was his cornerstone. When things were good, he felt secure. When they weren't, he was crushed. Later, as a pastor, his cornerstone often shifted to his church's success or how well his sermon went. When those things faltered, his peace faltered too. He said, “I can turn even my ministry into my cornerstone instead of Jesus.” To reorient his heart, Coleton often stares at Rembrandt's painting “Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee.”  He sees himself among the disciples, frantically trying to steady the ship—the church—while Jesus calmly rests amid chaos. Then he remembers Jesus' question: “Why are you so afraid?” (Mark 4:40) Coleton said, “If He's not worried, why should I be? If He's not shaken, why should I be?” That truth reshapes everything. He invited listeners to apply that same faith to their own circumstances: If your job is shaking—Jesus still promises to provide. If the government is shaking—Jesus still reigns. If your children are struggling—Jesus loves them more than you do. If your health is declining—Jesus has already conquered death. Coleton said, “Whatever shakes your life reveals your cornerstone.”  But when Jesus is your cornerstone, even the fiercest storm can't topple your soul. 3. How to Make Jesus Your Cornerstone Coleton closed by teaching from Matthew 7:24–27, where Jesus says that the wise builder is the one who hears His words and puts them into practice. “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock… The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew… yet it did not fall.” Simply calling Jesus “Lord” isn't enough. Obedience is what builds a life on Him. Coleton said, “There are people walking around calling Jesus their cornerstone while not doing what He says—and then wondering why their life is falling apart. It's not the cornerstone's fault.” He illustrated this with his son Teddy's LEGO set. Without following the instructions, the pieces might form something, but not what it was designed to be. Likewise, our lives can “look like something” without being what God designed. To make Jesus your cornerstone: Put His words into practice.  Don't just listen—live them. Spend more time with Him.  “You become like who you're around.” The more time you spend with Jesus—in Scripture, prayer, and reflection—the more you'll begin to resemble Him. Make alignment adjustments.  When the Spirit convicts you of areas where Jesus isn't shaping you, repent. Realignment isn't punishment—it's protection. He ended with a simple call: Make Jesus your cornerstone—because only He can carry the weight of your life. Discussion Questions What are some “cornerstones” that have shaped your decisions, emotions, or identity besides Jesus? How does Jesus being the first and strongest stone reshape your understanding of what it means to follow Him daily? When was the last time your life felt like it was “shaking”? What did that reveal about your foundation? What's one area of your life where you need to realign with Jesus' words this week? What habits or practices could help you spend more time with Jesus so that your life increasingly reflects His image? Key Takeaway: Your life will be shaped by whatever your cornerstone is. Only Jesus can bear that weight and make your life stand firm.

HEADLINE: UK Political Realignment and the Migration Crisis GUEST NAME: Joseph Sternberg SUMMARY:Joseph Sternberg discusses the UK's political realignment following the Conservative Party's 14-year misrule. Kemi Badenoch aims to revive the Tories with Thatcherite economic policies and a strong stance on welfare reform, prioritizing work and fairness. However, the Tories lack credibility on the highly controversial issue of illegal immigration across the English Channel, allowing Nigel Farage's Reform party to gain ground. The migration problem remains intractable due to high costs and lack of political incentive. 1866

Marshall and Frank discuss why they were attracted to the idea of a "realignment" before it was cool and obvious, why the breakdown of parties and institutions is fundamentally about a "crisis of legitimacy," the importance of building an ideological movement versus focusing on political parties, and why the abundance agenda, especially in its less wonky versions, is a useful vehicle for forcing institutions to answer the "what are we trying to do here," question.

Marshall and Giselle discuss Abundance Network's newly announced Abundance Elected Network, a community of local elected officials in city and county government interested in abundance and state capacity. They discuss why the local government version of the abundance discourse is completely different than the national level, think tank and pundit debate, how local officials are operationalizing abundance ideas, and what an outcomes-centered politics could look like.

Marshall and Doug discuss the untold story of the construction of Liberty Ships, the massive cargo vessels that carried tanks, jeeps, food, and ammunition to allied forces in World War II. The conversation explores the parallels between World War II problem-solving and contemporary debates about infrastructure, industrial policy, and the private sector's role in government, the importance of bringing a "problem-solving" approach to government, and how the pragmatic choice of emphasizing "ugly duckling" ships over Hitler's obsession with engineering marvels made all the difference.
