He's been named Coach of the Year in back-to-back years and is the all-time winningest coach in school history. In this conversation, Mike shares how he uses Mudita to build culture, how to help people get out of slumps, and why discipline and consistency are superpowers. Key Learnings (in Mike's words) Mudita is a vicarious joy. Can I be happy for another's success as if it's my own? To me, that is like the secret sauce of life. Obviously, in a sports team, not everyone can be the star. One of the biggest misconceptions is that the star rotates. Yeah, you need a superstar to compete at the highest levels, but to win, you're going to need pinch runners, you're going to need the guy laying a big block. It's going to take everyone. It's really celebrating everyone's contribution. In recruiting, I ask parents: Can you be happy for another kid's success as if it's your own? If your neighbor gets a new car, are you happy for them? Or do you say, "Oh, I wish. I bet his parents bought that for him." There are just different ways to show up for people, where you can just have joy. By pouring yourself into others, especially in sports, I think it frees you up to perform your best.  Envy is a natural feeling. I don't want anyone to feel that envy from me. I think what we're saying is that envy is a natural feeling. Wanting to do great yourself, those are very natural, and I want people to live in that space. But can we just stop it and be a little bit more intentional and just celebrate what other people are doing well? Spot the good first. As a consultant, there are two ways you can do things. One is to find the negative, and that's really easy to do. But I try to go and spot the good first. There's plenty of time to nitpick later on. Find some opportunities to help people grow.  People love to talk about themselves. My wife is very quiet, a great listener, and people love her. She has a million best friends, and no one knows it because she doesn't talk a whole lot. She just listens. If you can just listen and get people to talk about what they're passionate about, it's a life secret. You can tell when someone's really passionate about what they're doing, and you can tell when they're on the fence because they speed up when they talk, they get a little excited. Curiosity is a great way to show love. If you approach it from envy, we don't unpack the cool story. But if you lead with curiosity and not envy, it unpacks everything. I do think it takes a level of self-awareness and comfort in your own skin.  How to build self-awareness: Read, write, and get around wise people. If you read a decent amount, if you write (and that was my forcing function, to actually write and put thought to paper), and then get around wise people and just have conversations, I think you'll start building out the awareness of who you are and what you value.  A systems thinker builds frameworks that outlast individuals. It's someone who can build out frameworks that are built to put people and the organization in the best spot to win and be successful. It's a framework that outlasts individuals. Coaches may leave or players may leave, but if you have a system built out that it can sustain losing certain individuals, because things are cranking and you can repeat the work. You can do iterations and quickly test if you're getting closer or further from your goals. I almost try to talk people out of coming here. The most underrated thing in our recruiting is when they sit with me, I almost try to talk people out of coming here. I'll say, "Hey, what's the main driver?" If they say playing time, I'm like, "Hey, that's great. That's an awesome goal, but I wouldn't come here for that. We're going to play our best players. But that's not why you come to Denison. You come to be a part of something bigger than yourself, and there are all these other places where you're going to have a much better shot at that." I'm always listening in on what they value and trying to challenge it. Almost get people to self-select out. The better your culture is, you can take chances on people. It's like Randy Moss and the New England Patriots. Tom Brady was an alpha, and you could bring people in and take a risk and see if they can conform to the culture a little bit. When you have things in place, our locker room was phenomenal. People would say, "Hey, I don't know, this kid has some red flags." I'm like, "Red flags, like he's a serial killer? Or like red flag,s like he's super competitive?" The locker room would take care of a lot of that. If there's something built out that you feel pretty strongly about, I think you can take in some of these high-risk, high-reward people because they can't damage the culture like you would think they can. Early on in that tenure, I was very, very careful with this. But now we can take some chances on people if the DNA is right. The lack of seriousness pushed people out. When I took over, I'm the opposite of the guy I played for. And every time someone quit, I would just say thank you. And I meant that too because we were going in a certain direction. There was talent. It needed more seriousness. We had enough talent that it was going to allow us to compete at a conference level. I think it's amazing when you can just put boundaries and guardrails and point people in the right direction. We just provided a little structure, a little discipline. The DNA of great teams: Roles, sacrifice, discipline, leadership, joy. Everyone has a role and to beat objective expectations. When good meets good, you have got to understand that every role is essential to the cause. Status goes away. Second, we're in this together. There's no prima donna. I think that's what happens with championship teams. For us to compete on a national level, our guys do miss out on a lot. Grades may suffer. There are trade-offs with this thing. Then I hear discipline. Discipline and consistency is a superpower. The people that I see that really excel in the professional baseball world they seem to have a maturity about them at a much younger age. And that comes with discipline and consistency. Then leadership. There's going to be someone that's navigating the ship. In my beautiful world, it would be where that person's not an egomaniac. They're not in front. They're just waiting for everyone to get out. The last thing is joy. People tend to enjoy what they're doing. They do it with a smile on their face.  "Don't hire for when you think times are good. Hire for the person you wanna be around when times are bad because they're coming." An example of a great team outside of sports: The Chilean miners found roles quickly and stuck together. They had food for two days but rationed it out. They had a spiritual leader, medical guy, someone to keep them on task. Everyone had a specific role and they performed it. How you talk to your teammates is how you should talk to yourself. I had a conversation with a kid that I really admire on our team and I said, "Hey man, I never hear you talk to your teammates like you talk to yourself. Give yourself some grace." Being really hard on yourself can also be a cop out because there are ways to channel that. Sometimes people will say "I'm a perfectionist, or that's just who I am." Come on man. A perfectionist to me, they put an insane amount of work to earn the right to be. I think we use that term pretty lightly sometimes. Confidence is built through evidence. Ryan's self-talk before a keynote sounds like this, "What an opportunity to create some evidence."  How to help a hitter get out of a slump: Simplify and control the controllables. When a player's in a slump, they're probably working harder than they've ever worked in their life. But I think it's almost like they're working aimlessly. So what I try to do is simplify. I had a hitter once, he's trying everything.  I gave him one swing thought for two weeks. Just get the barrel to the ball. Don't worry about launch angle, don't worry about exit velo. Can you just put good wood on the ball? We're going to control what we can control. And slowly you start seeing some results and that evidence starts compounding and you get your mojo back. You gotta be intentional with your energy before high performance. As a coach, how you show up is going to be really, really important. I saw Texas A&M's coach say you have to be the opposite of what the moment requires. While everyone's excited, you need to be the calm. And then when the proverbial is hitting the fan, you have to be the one with optimism. Getting yourself in the right mental frame to handle high performance is required of a coach and a leader. Baseball teaches you to stay calm for three hours. You don't play baseball at 130 heartbeat. It's more of Can you get that thing down? And anything I do to increase it myself, I'm going against what it takes to be a successful player. People can think baseball is boring, but what you're seeing is people trying to stay calm for three hours.  Does that intensity actually lead to results? It's just basic stoicism. Baseball is the ultimate controlling what you can control and releasing what you can't. I don't know if this next ball's coming to me, but what do I do now? I can control my breathing. I control my first pitch prep step. What can you control? And I would challenge you to think, does that intensity or that emotion, does it actually lead to results or not? If it's helping you be the best version of yourself, go ahead and do it. But sometimes that overstimulation, that over emotion, it's probably just putting a lot of anxiety on your people. Just regulate, stay calm and execute. What does the team need from you right now? I think a good analogy is a cornerman in boxing. My dad used to always say, Watch a cornerman in boxing because some people you gotta smack. Some people say, "Come on champ. You're the best. You're the best. You're the best." When you're walking out there, you're trying to think, what does the team need from you right now? What message? If I'm a mirror, what do they need to see? Do they need to see calm, they need to see reassurance? Are we playing a little timid and scared? And maybe you're trying to jolt them a little bit with some energy and some choice words. There's an intentionality to it. You're trying to speak some stuff into existence, even if you're making stuff up. You acknowledge it, and then you also try to point them in a direction for improvement. Life throws haymakers at you all the time. I think that's the greatest gift that we can give people through sports. Most of us experience adversity along the way. It's this unique ability to just keep moving. You reflect, you try to get better. You give yourself some grace, you move on. You just keep working through that process. As simple as it may sound to us, I don't think many people can get there.  "Setbacks are temporary. I bounce back quickly." I write this down in my lineup card. You're creating evidence. It's something very simple, but I'm going to take a punch and I'll bounce back quickly. I think those are just good reminders in life. This happens. We're going to respond. Reflection Questions Mike practices Mudita by being genuinely happy for others' success without envy. Think of someone in your life who recently had a big win (promotion, new house, achievement). Were you genuinely happy for them, or did envy creep in? What would it look like to celebrate them more fully? He says "Don't hire for when you think times are good. Hire for the person you wanna be around when times are bad." Who on your current team would you want in the foxhole with you during a crisis, and what qualities make them that person? Mike asks himself before big moments: "What does the team need from me right now?" rather than just reacting emotionally. Think about a high-pressure situation coming up in your life. What will your team/family/colleagues need from you in that moment, and how can you prepare to show up that way?

"If you're going to build people, you must care more about their outcome than yours." Mark Perkins—founder of Pivot Realty Group—shares the truth most brokerages avoid: the real estate industry is broken, and most agents fail because no one tells them what the job actually requires. Mark explains how he built a 200-agent brokerage without traditional recruiting and why culture, leadership, and service—not tech or branding—are the true drivers of growth.

In this episode, the conversation covers Brandan Tobin's summers selling books, the people he learned from, and the experiences that shaped how he approaches sales and leadership today. Brandan talks about starting out skeptical of the program, thinking it might be a scam, and showing up to Nashville realizing it was very real and very serious.He shares stories from the field, including recruiting challenges, managing a large group early in his career, and learning how confidence, persistence, and systems affect performance. The discussion moves into how he tracked referrals using a handwritten notebook, how that system worked for him, and why building something you understand matters more than using a tool you don't.The episode also explores Brandan's work building CRM systems, what differentiates their approach from platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce, and why follow-up systems often matter more than lead quality. He explains how automations, voicemail drops, texting, and consistent follow-up impact conversion rates.Along the way, there are memorable field stories, including bike crashes, host families, nurses who bought books, and moments where persistence paid off in unexpected ways. The conversation wraps with reflections on faith, alignment with business partners, and why being on the same page matters regardless of belief.00:01:53 – Early connections, sales school, and shared experiences00:02:22 – Introduction to Brandan Tobin and background00:03:45 – Growth awards, leadership roles, and early success00:13:03 – Using CRM systems to manage buyers and follow-up00:18:00 – Building CRM tools to help small businesses compete00:21:47 – Why follow-up systems outperform lead quality00:29:18 – Helping business owners define their sales process00:33:37 – Pivoting from consulting to software development00:35:32 – Using voicemail drops and reminders to drive action00:45:08 – Recruiting stories and standout leaders01:10:29 – Host families, delivery challenges, and field logistics01:11:22 – Managing a large organization with limited experience01:21:18 – Tracking referrals with a handwritten system01:36:33 – Memorable field stories and “sit-downs”01:37:26 – Bike crash story and persistence in the field01:51:46 – Lessons on treating strangers and people skills01:52:43 – Meeting a famous athlete in the field02:06:26 – Faith, relationships, and being aligned with partners02:07:16 – Closing thoughts and how to connect after the episodeBrandan Tobin is a believer in Christ and a humble salesman. His mission is to expand God's kingdom by helping good people grow great businesses and increase their charitable giving.As the CRO with Knowledge Gap Consulting, Brandan leads the sales team and is still in the field, helping salespeople and entrepreneurs convert more leads in less time with custom built, AI-powered, CRM solutions. Over his nearly 20 year career in sales and business, Brandan built sales teams and sold for a variety of industries, including mortgage, real estate, solar, SaaS software and of course, books.He hit the double growth award his 2nd summer, and the quadruple growth award his 3rd summer, delivering over 8,000 units after hitting Mort, Chairman's and PC several times. As a 19 year old sophomore and B manager, Brandan helped lead a group of 22 first years and only 3 other managers, also on their B summers….and not a single person quit.Brandan went on to close more than $7,000,000 of annually recurring revenue as an account executive for various tech companies until partnering with Joe Ignace, another SW alum, to sell their own software, Velocity 360.None of it came easily or naturally and Brandan will be the first to tell you, none of it would'vebeen possible without the grace of God, being coachable, and really great mentors.

In this episode of Insurance Shoptalk, host Eric Stein sits down with Walter Sabrin of Venture Employer Services for a wide-ranging conversation on the realities of hiring, recruiting, and retaining talent in today's insurance agency environment. Drawing on decades of experience, Walter breaks down why agencies should always be recruiting, how internal referral programs and small-scale job fairs can deliver outsized results, and why traditional job boards often fail to reach the best candidates. The discussion also explores proactive headhunting, building a recruiting pipeline for future needs, leveraging nearshore and remote talent to reduce costs while increasing productivity, and the importance of communication, training, and career progression in improving retention. Together, Eric and Walter share practical, real-world insights that agency owners can use to strengthen their teams, adapt to a changing workforce, and build a sustainable hiring strategy for the future.

Major transfer portal chaos collides with the College Football Playoff as quarterbacks flip commitments, NIL agreements unravel, and CFP semifinal rosters are suddenly in flux. A Washington quarterback enters the portal just days after signing an NIL deal, a Notre Dame backup commits and flips within 24 hours, and Nebraska pivots quickly to land an experienced transfer.The episode also covers Oregon losing a key running back ahead of the CFP semifinal against Indiana, why that injury materially changes the matchup, and how roster depth matters more than ever in playoff football. Viewership numbers for the CFP quarterfinals are in, and they're up significantly year over year — even with blowouts — raising big questions about what actually drives ratings in the expanded playoff era.The show wraps with a discussion of potential College Football Playoff calendar changes, including moving the transfer portal and recruiting windows, and why the current December–January crunch is unsustainable for players, coaches, and programs.

In this week's episode of Everything Fast Pitch, Coach Tory and Coach Don connect to record episode 402, marking the beginning of the 2026 season. The discussion covers several key segments, including the warmup segment featuring City of the Week (Charlotte, NC), Player of the Week and an equipment tip about Square Cuts training discs, and an intriguing listener question. The lead-off segment focuses on players' preparation for the spring season, stressing the importance of self-care and conditioning. The clean-up topic addresses how a listener can get started in umpiring. The coaching tip of the week emphasizes coaching players to achieve their goals rather than focusing on avoiding mistakes. Support the show

Recruiting on social sounds easy… until you try it. In this episode of HR Famous, Tim Sackett sits down with Sean Worden (CEO/Founder) and Katy Schuck (Co-Founder/COO) of Reelist to unpack why most TA teams struggle to hire through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and beyond, and what it actually takes to make social recruiting work in the real world. Sean starts with the big picture: Reelist makes it “ridiculously easy” to recruit off social by automating creative, running paid + organic campaigns, handling brand safety and compliance, messaging and screening candidates, and tying it all back to your ATS with real-time optimization. Then the conversation gets fun: Reelist didn't start there. It began as a “TikTok for jobs” concept (think video-based matching)… until they realized it was turning into a job board with extra steps. The pivot? Build the infrastructure that helps employers recruit where people already are on their phones while scrolling. Tim pushes into the questions every TA leader asks: Which channel works best for in-person roles? The answer isn't a generic “TikTok!” It depends on geography and density. For rural and small-town hiring, Sean breaks down why Facebook and Instagram often outperform, while TikTok targeting can fall apart when it forces broad DMA-level reach that doesn't match “I need someone to drive 15 minutes to this plant.” Katy brings the strategy home with two essentials: awareness and action. Social ads aren't meant to impress your C-suite, they're meant to hit candidates with what they care about (pay, conditions, location) in a tight message, then make it frictionless to apply now. That “instant gratification” moment matters because speed matters. Tim shares a Marriott story that proves it: the advantage often goes to whoever responds first, not to whoever has the prettiest employer-brand deck. They also dig into what “viral” means for recruiting content (including share-to-view ratios and platform-specific behavior), why the best videos qualify and disqualify quickly, and how social can reduce junk and bot applications by capturing real intent. Finally, the crew gets into agentic AI vs. traditional GenAI, API-driven automation, real-time ATS integrations, and why security/compliance (SOC 2 Type II and more) isn't optional anymore. If you've ever said, “We've tried social… it didn't work,” this episode might change your mind and your playbook.

Featuring: Shefali Netke, VP of Design, on how design decisions shape AI adoption in enterprise recruiting Thibaut Allard, Global Data Privacy & AI Lead, on navigating AI compliance where global regulations and rapid innovation collide Dave Novak, Global Director of Managed Services, on what it actually takes to turn AI ambition into operational reality Nicole Hammond, VP, Center of Excellence, on building true AI readiness from early mindset shifts to sustained capability If you want to understand the architecture, the legal landscape, and the human side of making AI work in recruiting, this is the episode.

Send us a textAI can sift resumes, flag cheaters, and surface real talent—but only if you pair it with clear roles, smart assessments, and disciplined communication. That's the system Ben Johnson, CEO of Particle 41, walks us through as we compare notes on hiring at scale, building global engineering teams, and turning remote work from transactional to tight-knit. We get specific on how an AI resume scorer and assessment workflow cut through 500+ applicants a week, why an 85% relevance threshold saves recruiter time, and how anti-cheating tools keep the signal clean across technical and non-technical roles.From there, we zoom out to the leadership moves that unlock elite performance. Accountability charts replace names with roles and outcomes, giving us a cleaner way to design teams, define expectations, and reduce constant reorgs. Ben's “practice squads” create small, cross-client groups that meet monthly, rotate moderators, and blend personal and professional growth—so engineers become confident consultants, not just coders. Layer on lightweight rituals like daily focus updates and weekly client status reports, and you get fewer meetings, clearer priorities, and faster delivery across time zones.We also unpack the product playbook: start with design to force hard decisions, define the real MVP, and make smart build, buy, or partner calls where customers feel it most. Before chasing “more AI,” get your SOPs in order, let teams prototype improvements with ChatGPT, and target one workflow at a time—aim small, miss small—to avoid overspending and measure impact. We close with a pragmatic security reminder: never reuse passwords, use a password manager, and assume AI is accelerating both offense and defense.
