We had a theory.If we wanted to get better at hosting MFM experiences before our October event, maybe we should stop overthinking it and start practicing.So we did what any responsible adults would do...We recruited single guys off X. What could possibly go wrong?In this episode, we compare two very different experiences. One guy showed up late, brought a little too much confidence, and reminded us why single men get a bad reputation. The other arrived with a completely different energy and ended up giving us one of the hottest MFM experiences we've had in a very long time.Along the way we talk about:Why sourcing people online is far harder than most couples thinkThe questions we ask before inviting someone into our homeThe difference between confidence and entitlementWhy chemistry matters more than musclesLauren's thoughts on being the center of attention in an MFMWhy Richard prefers MFM over most foursomesWhat actually makes a great thirdBlack lights, puck lights, and accidental lifestyle scienceThe psychology behind why some experiences feel electric and others fall completely flatJoining us is Haley, who helps us break down the female perspective, why MFM dynamics can feel so different from traditional foursomes, and why being surrounded by masculine energy is such a turn-on for some women.#room77events SIN October 2026 and FLIRT Feb 2027Sponsors and Affiliates:KushKube and KingB: We're calling this the Tush Kube!

Promotion: Denied by Lt Col Joseph W. Hoffler USAF-Ret. https://www.amazon.com/Promotion-Col-Joseph-Hoffler-USAF-Ret/dp/B0GGZ36KCG Promotion: Denied is a powerful true account of institutional racism, betrayal, and moral courage within the United States Air Force Academy. In this deeply personal and meticulously documented narrative, Lt Col Joseph W. Hoffler, USAF (Ret.), exposes how a distinguished twenty-two-year military career was derailed by racial prejudice, unlawful investigations, and a deliberate cover-up by senior leadership. Recruited to serve as a role model for minority cadets, Hoffler instead found himself targeted by a system meant to uphold honor, integrity, and justice. Through firsthand testimony, official records, and lived experience, this book reveals how misuse of authority, fabricated allegations, and bureaucratic silence led to the denial of promotion and forced early retirement. More than a memoir, Promotion: Denied is a compelling civil rights narrative that challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about racism in elite institutions. It serves as a warning to future service members and a call for accountability, transparency, and reform within the military and beyond.

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Canton, producer of 300, Immortals, Men in Black, Air Force One, and My Best Friend's Wedding, former President of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., and former Chairman of Columbia Pictures and Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Companies, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by passion and instinct. From delivering mail on the Warner Bros. lot as a college student to greenlighting some of Hollywood's most beloved films, Canton reflects on the legends he learned from, the risks he took, and why he still smells the circus every time he walks onto a sound stage.Queens, New York, and Family (02:34): Canton traces his love of film to a father who survived being shot down over France in WWII, won an Oscar for a short film on Van Gogh, and went on to do publicity for Hitchcock and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to a mother who was a published poet. The movies, he says, were always destiny.Learning from the Greats on Papillon (15:22): Working for director Franklin Schaffner in Jamaica and living between the houses of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, Canton learned what it meant to commit to a film.From the Warner Bros. Mail Room to Running the Studio (20:31): Canton traces his rise from UCLA film student to head of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., sharing stories about the Vacation franchise, Caddyshack, and Lethal Weapon.Taking the Helm at Columbia Pictures (39:22): Recruited by Peter Guber and Jon Peters, Canton became Chairman of Columbia Pictures and later oversaw Columbia TriStar. He reflects on the team he assembled and the record-breaking run that followed, including Jerry Maguire, My Best Friend's Wedding, Bad Boys, and Air Force One.The Art of the Difficult Screening (47:51): Canton recounts two defining test screening moments: a chaotic preview of Scorsese's The Age of Innocence in a New Jersey bowling alley, and a tough audience response to Luc Besson's Léon: The Professional that led to an ultimatum and a reworked film that became a modern classic.The Cable Guy and No Regrets (50:43): Canton defends paying Jim Carrey $17 million and notes what history confirmed: the film launched Ben Stiller's directing career, introduced Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Judd Apatow. He also recalls his affectionate standoff with Mike Nichols over the ending of Wolf.What Keeps Audiences Coming Back (54:50): Canton argues that what fills theaters today is the same thing that made Purple Rain a phenomenon: the feeling of a live, communal, irreplaceable experience.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Mark CantonProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Mark Canton:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_CantonIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004799/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcanton/?hl=enFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Have you ever been recruited for a job, a team, a role that you didn't really know was coming your way? Those disciples on the road to Emmaus were. They didn't know it at the time, but Jesus appeared to them and recruited them into his grand design. They invited him into their home for the evening, offered him food and drink. It was only after he took charge and blessed the meal that they realized who Jesus actually was. Then they became an even bigger part of the story by immediately turning around to go back to Jerusalem and share the good news of Jesus' resurrection with the Eleven.  God often recruits us be leaders in the same way. We may want to have others in the limelight because it can be hard to see ourselves as leaders, but we all have the capacity within us.  Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson is from Luke, Chapter 24, verses 28 - 35.

What makes a highlight tape actually get a college coach's attention—and why do most players get it wrong? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nick Garrett, Head Football Coach at Andrew College, who has helped 38 players earn scholarships in just two years, to break down exactly what coaches look for when evaluating film. Coach Garrett explains why most highlight tapes are too long, why coaches often decide within the first few clips, and how poor body language, weak communication, and bad recruiting habits cause players to get passed on. We also dive into when JUCO is the right move, how parents should think about the recruiting process, and why many athletes wait too long to start marketing themselves. Whether your son is trying to earn his first offer or deciding if JUCO is the best next step, this episode gives you a clear roadmap for getting recruited the right way.Want Some 1:1 Help With Getting Your Son a College Football Scholarship?

Sometime this month, some parents will be posting an All-Star roster their kid just didn't make. Somebody else is signing a five-thousand-dollar ECNL fee. Both families are pretty sure the other families have it figured out. They don't.Craig walks through the actual soccer pyramid in plain English — what ECNL was when it started, what it became, why every club in a 30-mile radius now wants the badge, and the specific misconception being sold to parents of 8-year-olds about how this all works. (Spoiler: 11v11 is open tryouts. The kid who joined at 8 has roughly the same shot as the kid who walks in at 12.)Then Chad pivots to the other machine: All-Star selections about to drop, travel ball schedules muscling Little League games off the calendar, parents getting glazed-over eyes about their nine-year-old being on the right team. He's about to post a roster. He's been cursed out a lot. He has thoughts.The whole episode is built on one observation: the incentives at every layer of youth sports — clubs, leagues, coaches, parents — are not actually aligned with what's best for the kid. The clubs want the badge. The leagues want the participation numbers. The parents want to feel like good parents. The kids just want to play with their friends and get ice cream after.Plus: how to actually evaluate a coach when you don't have a network of soccer people. Why retention is the metric nobody asks about. The thing Michael Jordan, of all people, has to do with all of this. And why "diamonds are made of pressure" is a half-quote — and the half people leave out is the half that matters.If you're sitting in your driveway staring at a tryout schedule, an All-Star bid, a travel-ball contract, or a $5K invoice — this is for you. Not because we have it figured out. Because we don't either, and that's worth saying out loud.You're not alone in the struggle. You're just in a louder bubble than usual right now.

In this high-stakes episode of HR's Most Dangerous Podcast, Joel and Chad swap their usual banter for a masterclass in human psychology with Jim Lawler, a former CIA case officer who spent 25 years convincing people to commit treason for the United States. Lawler pulls back the curtain on the "addictive" world of espionage, describing his career across posh European postings as a relentless pursuit of the "adrenaline junkie" high that comes from subverting foreign governments. From his early days nearly skipping the agency for a "miserable" family business to the pinnacle of his career dismantling nuclear networks, Lawler shares the gritty reality of being a "professional manipulator" within the lanes of U.S. law. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Lawler translates his CIA tradecraft into actionable wisdom for HR and recruiters. He breaks down the legendary MICE framework—Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego—explaining why he never recruited a "happy person" and why ego is often the most powerful leverage point for turning an asset. Whether it's his ten qualities of a top recruiter—like "mastery of the metaphysics" and finding the "cracks" in a candidate's psychological armor—or his surreal story of sitting on $1 billion in gold in a Swiss vault, this episode is a deep dive into the art of building trust in the most untrustworthy environments.

Weichert details the downfall of Charles Lieber, a Harvard scientist and DARPA researcher recruited by the Thousand Talents Program to mirror his nanotechnology work in Wuhan, later convicted for making false statements and hiding Chinese bank accounts. The discussion shifts to CRISPR technology and He Jiankui's controversial genetic splicing on human twins, which reportedly resulted in unintended brain augmentations. Weichert warns that China views biotechnology as "dual-use," meaning advancements intended for civilian health are simultaneously being weaponized by the People's Liberation Army.

   Sisterhood, CIA, and the Terror Transition  APRIL 13, 2026This collection of transcripts details the transformative role of women at the CIA, from the agency's origins during World War II to the pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Authors and analysts explore how pioneers like Mary Bancroft provided vital intelligence during the Cold War despite being relegated to clerical roles and facing systemic sexism. The narrative follows the career of Heidi August, who rose from a secretary to a station chief, illustrating the shift in focus from Soviet espionage to global counterterrorism. A central theme is the intellectual contributions of female analysts, such as Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude, who identified the threat of al-Qaeda long before the 9/11 attacks. Despite their pioneering work in targeting and intelligence analysis, these women often struggled to have their warnings heard by male leadership. Ultimately, the sources highlight a hidden history of sacrifice and expertise, showing how a dedicated "sisterhood" fundamentally shaped modern American intelligence operations.1. THE OSS ORIGINS AND MARY BANCROFT Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy describes the CIA's WWII roots through the OSS, where elite, college-educated women like Mary Bancroft were recruited for their intelligence and language skills,. Working as Allen Dulles's "right-hand woman" in neutral Switzerland, Bancroft provided crucial analysis and handled a high-level Nazi double agent plotting against Hitler,,. Despite her sophisticated operational role, she faced blatant sexism, once being ordered by Dulles to fetch food during a meeting. Mundy explains that these pioneer women were intentionally tested for their tolerance of being under-recognized while men claimed credit for their work. (2)1952 WARSAW

Just Won a Natty/Indianapolis Vibes Starts at 0:51 No crying this time, but we do think we can have nice things now. You get out of it what you put into it; the UMHoops guys are probably experiencing the highest of highs. The 2023 football championship was a thing no other fanbase has experienced; this is what a normal natty feels like. Some of us survived the 2023-24 team. The story begins with the Ellerbe years, the Beilein era absolutely helped build this. Don't resent the Fab Five, but they unfairly had to represent what Michigan could be. Reconsidering the Juwan era, the heart condition, how badly he needed a GM. Beilein was spiritually (and literally) present for this team; loudest the stadium got before Michigan hit a three was when they showed him. Very unselfish team. Built through the portal—Cronin was never going to be a good fit for Mara, Rez wasn't going to have a role after Illinois got the other Ivisic, Cadeau was struggling in a bad system at UNC, Yaxel used the portal to get here from JUCO via UAB, Roddy Gayle was the national glue guy of the year, Nimari was here three years through two coaching changes, and Will Tschetter was a five-year player who took a smaller role: nobody can make a good faith argument that any of these guys don't belong here. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. The UConn Game Starts at 27:50 Takes hotter than the rims during the final last night. Story of the game was UConn fouling the crap out of Michigan from literally the tip. Miss the first Cadeau and-one, then hit 24 free throws in a row to offset the terrible threes, until Roddy missed his pair. Snakebit shooting because Rez/Mara/Yax kept getting mismatches down low, but Michigan was able to play their bigs together, and that just made it impossible for UConn to score. Felt like Lendeborg was himself on defense; offensively he was obviously hobbled. Their communication was fantastic, and there weren't mismatches for UConn to hunt. A time or two they got Mara versus Karaban on the perimeter or something, but they didn't get backcut once. Tarris was basically shut down by Mara. Only thing they got were those ORebs, which were hat tips to them and also related to Michigan taking way the three. Next year Trey McKenney; graded on a curve he made 2 of Michigan's three jumpers, including the dagger. The Rube Goldberg three. Cadeau vs the Cadeau we thought we were getting. 3. How this Team Came Together Starts at 59:16 Revisiting how the roster came together, May's eye for talent, because every guy he got at FAU wound up a star somewhere. You can't actually build from the portal; if that's the lesson they're taking from this team they're going to get lit up. Cadeau cleaned up the TOs (but still commits them at the end of the game his banana peel). On the human to athlete personality spectrum, Mara is a normal human being, who never should have been paired with Cronin—all little guys who play basketball are born killers because you have to be, but it's common for bigs to be like that. Mara was the best player; he developed into a beast by the end of the year. Transfer teams: if you look at the rest of the top ten four didn't make the Tournament; Michigan was the only protected seed that took a lot of transfers. St. John's and Louisville were the others. Once you're been at a school a year you're not a transfer anymore. Cig vs May: Cignetti relied more on his JMU transfers. It's especially hard to recreate what Michigan did defensively, because at the end these guys won a title by doing the best job of anybody of playing with each other. Introducing the Bobby Hurley Index: How many photos do you look like Jim Carrey in The Mask? 4. Next Year Starts at 1:38:41 Are they looking at the portal list or the list of guys projected to the late 1st/early 2nd round? Mara and Rez are probably done—small chance they get Rez back. Cason going to redshirt. Gayle, Burnett, Yaxel are out of eligibility. Cadeau and McKinney: best backcourt in the country next year? McCoy is Charles Matthews-ish, going to be a major defensive presence; if you get two years out of him he's a big get but he doesn't have a deep shot, might be freshman Darius Morris or what we wanted Rubin Jones (PG who can guard 1-4) to be. Recruited lots of SFs: Grady? Liburd? Brown? All going to be 6'5" gumby-armed switchable guards. Backup PG: can McCoy or McKenney can play point for 10 mpg. Do they have a wing? Want that guy to be switchable; Seth thinks they're going to have a big war chest to find an NBA four who can play the three in addition to two bigs. Goodman will be next year's Tschetter. Need three portal bigs. Is Dusty May the #1 coach you would want to have if you were looking for one right now? UNC search was Tommy Lloyd and Dusty May right?

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers major developments in Operation Epic Fury, including a devastating U.S. bunker-busting strike on Iranian leadership and alarming reports that China is helping Iran target American forces using AI and satellite data. He also explores a troubling pattern of missing and dead U.S. scientists tied to sensitive defense and space programs, raising questions about foreign espionage and potential retaliation by adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran. While much of the information remains low-confidence, Bryan argues there is "too much smoke" for there not to be a deeper story unfolding. Plus, Bryan shares encouraging news on America's progress in hypersonic missile technology with a new system called HAVOC that could help close the gap with China, and wraps with practical health insights on improving mood, losing weight through routine eating, and a promising stem cell therapy that may reverse age-related frailty.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Operation Epic Fury Iran bunker strike IRGC 2026, China helping Iran target US troops AI satellite data, missing US scientists Pentagon NASA investigation, foreign espionage US labs China Russia Iran, HAVOC hypersonic missile US vs China, hypersonic weapons Navy killer technology, cold water therapy mood benefits, weight loss routine eating strategy, stem cell therapy frailty aging, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Haley Robson was sixteen years old when she was recruited into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit — approached at a beach resort by a classmate and driven to his Palm Beach mansion under the pretence of a $200 massage. What followed was two years of sexual abuse, coercion and psychological manipulation that would shape the course of her life. In this episode, Neil speaks with Haley about growing up in Miami, the childhood traumas that left her vulnerable, and how Epstein's network systematically exploited girls exactly like her — isolating them, grooming them, and weaponising their own needs against them. Haley speaks candidly about the mechanics of the abuse, the culture of fear that kept victims returning and the part of this story that rarely gets told: how underage girls within Epstein's network were pressured to recruit others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Derek shares the relationships that shaped his path, from a mother who sacrificed to give him access to the right environment, to a sixth-grade friend who introduced him to computers and investing, to the one investor who said yes when everyone else said no. His story is a masterclass in building something meaningful from the ground up.   [00:03:00] Who Is Derek Ting? Co-founder and CEO of TextNow, a free phone service app Started the company 16 years ago as a college student tired of paying for phone service Currently serves 10 million monthly users [00:04:00] The Birth of TextNow The first iPhone charged separately for texting, calling, and data; Derek saw a better way Aha moment: users were turning iPod touches into phones because they couldn't afford service Recruited a college classmate to build out the full product; he became co-founder [00:05:20] Phone Service Is a Necessity, Not a Luxury Many users had no other way to communicate with friends and family You need a phone number to book a doctor's appointment or apply for a job That realization turned a texting app into a much bigger mission [00:07:40] From Hobby to Business: The Early App Store Days The iPhone SDK let anyone, including college students, build and sell software for the first time First app: a daily recipe app for a dollar; then a lemonade stand video game TextNow grew from that same spirit of building things to solve his own problems [00:12:40] Cashflow Crisis and the Last Door He Knocked On Reinvested everything into carrier infrastructure, wiping out profit, then ran out of cash Knocked on every VC door in Canada in 2011 and collected rejection after rejection Remembered a man whose niece was a customer and who had mentioned he was a VC Reached out, met him at a conference, played it cool, and closed the deal; he is still a shareholder today [00:17:40] Where TextNow Is Headed Mission from day one: make phone service completely free The flywheel: more free value drives more users, more advertisers, and more revenue to fund more features Customer base is diverse: young people, those in financial rough patches, anyone needing a second line [00:20:40] The Relationship That Started Everything: His Mom Derek's biggest influence is his mother, a Hong Kong immigrant who prioritized his education above everything She stretched her finances to move him from public to private school in sixth grade That decision changed his peer group and opened doors he never would have found otherwise [00:22:00] The Sixth-Grade Friend Who Sparked It All At private school Derek met a friend who was already building computers and buying stocks in sixth grade He learned about technology and economics simply by spending time around him Without that friendship, Derek believes he would never have ended up in tech or business   KEY QUOTES "Phone service is expensive and it's actually not a luxury. It's a necessity. You need it to get a doctor's appointment, to apply for a job." - Derek Ting "I was running out of doors to knock on. The last door I knocked on became the door that worked out." - Derek Ting CONNECT WITH DEREK TING

Seth and Sean discuss how much they like that CJ Stroud effectively recruited OL Wyatt Teller to the Texans.

Seth and Sean discuss Dan Orlovsky's take that Ty Simpson is the best QB in the draft and all the backlash it got from colleagues, how awesome it is that CJ Stroud essentially recruited Wyatt Teller to come to Houston, react to Tua being the absolute worst when asked about what happened in Miami, and talk about the ITL question of the day with Reggie and Lopez who are out at Rally House for the MLB opening day games.

2. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro explains how Hollywood's dominance decimated local theaters, leaving countless actors unemployed by the 1930s. To address this, Harry Hopkins recruited Hallie Flanagan, an experimental theater professor, to lead the Federal Theater Project. Flanagan treated the arts as a federally supported industry, eventually employing 12,000 workers and staging 10,000 productions across 29 states. One-fourth of the American population saw these plays, often for free. The project also established "Negro Units" to develop Black talent and reach underserved communities, involving figures like Rose McClendon and John Houseman. (2)1916

Back in the mid-1960s American television networks were trying to get with the youth scene, and a big part of that scene was the British Invasion. So NBC said "we'll call your Beatles, Animals, Stones, and Kinks -- and raise you some Monkees. Recruited as actors more than musicians, at the time, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork were put down as the "prefab four" -- a wholly made for television creation. But they were a smash and over the years have gained respect as prime purveyors of power pop. The Monkees TV show lasted just a couple of years -- and some of the efforts that followed didn't connect with an audience (the movie Head for specifics). The Monkees were largely forgotten until MTV came around in the mid-1980s and decided that the original Monkees TV show was just the thing to put on the new music network. Comeback tours and albums followed as a new generation discovered the Monkees. Micky Dolenz is now the last Monkee standing, but he carries the flag proudly performing around the country in his Monkees Celebration shows. Happy sellout crowds are the result -- now just who were they calling "Pre-Fab" way back when? As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Monkees? OK, if you are over the age of 50 this song should be burned into your brain.https://youtu.be/ujzyXArvM_g?si=BiyFLD_194lyPOtB Here's a complete episode from The Monkees show -- each episode contained an early form of music video, no doubt part of what made MTV take interest. https://dai.ly/xskyj5 Head stands a a curious piece of late 1960's surrealistic comedy. The audience scratched its head as the Monkees seemed to revel in tearing down their safe image. A few fine cameos helped the process along. https://youtu.be/ZPQpsipHKU8?si=3moATd9Mg9TYNFCi The Monkees have been likened to a rock and roll Marx Brothers with zany comedy taking center stage. And even after their show was cancelled, the Monkees still found places to shine -- including Rowan and Martin's Laugh In.https://youtu.be/TuAD5RU55eQ?si=ErCNEOSDMtoHWxTt

October 2018. A "Preparing a People" conference in Utah. Chad Daybell walks up to Lori Vallow and tells her they were married in a past life.This is the moment everything changed.Part 1 of "The Chosen Ones" examines how Chad Daybell used spiritual love bombing to transform Lori from a devoted LDS mother into someone who believed she was "a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000."We break down the mechanics of spiritual abuse:First, he made her feel seen. Chad Daybell told her she was special, chosen, set apart. He said he could recognize her spiritual significance when no one else could.Then, he made her feel exempt. According to testimony, Lori would say "It doesn't count for me" when doing things that would normally require repentance. Chad Daybell had convinced her the rules didn't apply to someone at her level.Then came the labels. Charles wasn't her husband anymore — he was a demon named "Ned." The children weren't her children — they were "zombies" possessed by dark spirits.This episode traces the path from that first conference to Charles Vallow's death in July 2019. We examine the AVOW community, the fringe LDS conference circuit, and the belief system Chad Daybell built that would eventually justify murder.If you're following the Daybell case — or if you've experienced religious trauma yourself — this episode provides essential psychological context.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is your son being recruited for college baseball? This is the NIL conversation his future depends on. Subscribe for weekly college baseball insights.   If you're a parent trying to decode scholarship offers, revenue sharing, outside deals, and cap space — or your son is deciding between the portal and the draft — Georgia's Deputy Athletic Director just laid it all out.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN   ✅ The 4 buckets of money available to your son — and why most families only know about 2 of them   ✅ How to tell the difference between a real NIL offer and an inflated promise that will never clear the system   ✅ The one question you should ask every school before your son signs anything   ✅ Why chasing portal money after one year could cost your son his degree, his reputation, and future deals   ✅ What schools actually think when agents call with big numbers — and how to tell if yours is helping or hurting   Your son's college decision isn't just about the biggest number on the table. Will Lawler has been negotiating these deals from inside one of the top athletic departments in the country since 2018. He's watched the landscape shift from 11.7 scholarships to a $20.4 million institutional cap — and he's here to tell you exactly how the money actually moves.   In this episode, Will walks you through the four distinct financial buckets every college baseball player can access: incidental benefits, scholarships, institutional revenue sharing, and outside endorsement deals. He explains how the House Settlement created a cap that schools must manage across every sport — and why that means the baseball dollars available to your son are directly shaped by football, basketball, and Title IX decisions happening behind the scenes.   Matt and Will go deep on how NIL Go now vets every outside deal for legitimate business purpose and fair market value. If a school is promising your son big outside dollars, you'll learn why those promises mean nothing unless they can explain exactly which companies, which deals, and how they'll clear the system. Will reveals the question every family should ask: "Have you ever not delivered on what you promised?"   The conversation turns personal when Matt explains why he can never bluff a school — and how one lie from an agent can destroy 25 years of reputation.

February 2026Even amongst the distinguished ranks of WW2 codebreakers, Emily Anderson stood out. Recruited into military intelligence during WWI, her stellar career in diplomatic codebreaking lasted into the 1950s. Her greatest achievement came with the breaking of high-level Italian ciphers during the East African Campaign of 1940-41. It was called 'the perfect example of the cryptographers' war' and earned her the OBE in 1943.Anderson was also a renowned musicologist - her translations of the letters of Mozart and Beethoven are still considered authoritative. Yet until recent years, her life and intelligence work remained under the radar.This episode helps to set the record straight, and kick off a new occasional series focusing on key personalities in codebreaking and intelligence. Bletchley Park's Research Officer Dr Thomas Cheetham is joined by Jackie Uí Chionna from the University of Galway to discuss the subject of her 2023 biography Queen of Codes: The Secret Life of Emily Anderson, Britain's Greatest Female Codebreaker.Our thanks go to Sarah Langston for voicing our historical documents.The Marriage of Figaro - K. 492   CC PDM 1.0   www.classicals.de Image: © Dr. Dagmar von Bushe-Weise#BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #Enigma, #Italy, #Galway

In a conversation that's equal parts psychological thriller and masterclass in influence, Trevor and Eugene sit down with world-renowned cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan. Recruited into the Unification Church (aka the Moonies) as a college student, Hassan rose through its ranks before ultimately breaking free — an experience that reshaped his life's work and inspired his bestselling book The Cult of Trump. From fringe groups to social media echo chambers, the trio unpack how and why ordinary people get swept into systems of extreme belief, the ways loyalty is engineered, and what separates healthy persuasion from manipulation. They also explore why the line between conviction and control is thinner and closer to home than we think. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

THE WHIZ KIDS AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY Colleague William Taubman. After the war, Tex Thorntonrecruited McNamara as part of the "Whiz Kids" team to modernize Ford Motor Company using statistical control methods, a role in which McNamara excelled and eventually rose to the presidency. Unlike his peers who settled in the executive enclave of Grosse Pointe, McNamara chose to live in the academic community of Ann Arbor, reflecting his desire to remain connected to intellectual life and serve society rather than focus solely on corporate profits. This period highlighted his tendency to serve strong, authoritative figures, a pattern that repeated with Henry Ford II, JFK, and LBJ. NUMBER 3 1929 CORD MOTOR COMPANY

MCNAMARA JOINS THE KENNEDY CABINET Colleague William Taubman. In 1960, Robert Kennedy and Sargent Shriver recruited a reluctant McNamara for the Kennedy cabinet; despite McNamara's insistence that he was unqualified for the Treasury or Defense posts, he agreed to meet the President-elect. He accepted the position of Secretary of Defense on the condition that he could appoint his own staff based on merit and avoid the social cocktail circuit to remain a working secretary. Although President Kennedy agreed to these terms, he reportedly discarded McNamara's written list of conditions immediately after their meeting. NUMBER 4 11963
