A veteran of over a decade on the U.S. Biathlon Team, Kelsey Dickinson is still packing her skis and biathlon rifle to the far reaches of the world. Along the way, her legacy is growing as a passionate advocate for her fellow athletes, and a pioneering leader for women in sport. Heartbeat co-hosts Tom Kellly and Sara Donatello spoke with Dickinson during a post-season spring break from her home in Bozeman, Mont., where she spends time while not training in Craftsbury, Vt.When Heartbeat last caught up with Dickinson in December, 2021, she talked about growing up in Washington's Methow Valley as a cross country skier, later finding her passion for biathlon at St. Scholastica College in Duluth, Minn. She also spoke about the role women coaches had made in her career – foreshadowing what she's been up to these last few seasons.Dickinson has taken her passion for the sport and become one of its most prominent advocates for change. She serves on the U.S. Biathlon board as an athlete representative and also represents her sport on the USOPC Athletes' Advisory Council. She's a gender equity athlete ambassador for the IBU, and served on the USOPC's DEI Core Team leading up to the 2021 Tokyo Games. She has played a vital role with the USOPC Women's Health Task Force, focusing on health-related issues affecting female athletes. She even served on a Team USA athlete advisory group that examined emerging digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).But amidst all of her giving back to her sport, one of the roles she cherishes most is serving as executive director of the Women Ski Coaches Association, the organization started by her college coach at St. Scholastica, Maria Stuber. What started as an initiative within NCAA programs, is now having an impact on a wide range of sports through programs like GearUp and Trail to Gold.Why does Dickinson devote so much time and energy with such passion? “Early on, I realized that for me to find meaning in sport, I really wanted to make it a place where my teammates or anyone, who wanted to be coaches could have the best experience possible.”Dickinson has seen the challenges through the eyes of some amazing female mentors, like Stuber, who have influenced her career.“I've had some experiences when I was younger that made me realize that, wow, like, sport doesn't necessarily put women and men on an equal level,” she said. “And it's not necessarily that anyone is trying to discriminate against women, but it just sort of exists in the fabric of the culture.”Dickinson has found a welcoming reception from U.S. Biathlon to the IBU to USOPC. “U.S. Biathlon understands that it to be to be a modern innovative sports organization, bringing in women voices and increasing diversity and is only going to benefit the success of the sport,” she said. “The bottom line – I think what U.S. Biathlon is doing is really important and essential for long term success.”Beyond equality initiatives, she sees her work benefiting other areas, including overall team culture and creating more coaches in the biathlon community, who can then grow their own junior programs.“I'm really glad that they're investing in this and taking the time to put their put their weight behind this program succeeding.”Reflecting back on her career as an athlete and an advocate, Dickinson speaks with confidence and satisfaction – as someone who can now see that the work she's been doing has been fruitful.“I've always felt this purpose that – my impact on sport. I would rather be remembered for making sport a better place for women than necessarily my results. That's always been driving me in this space.”Sport is fortunate to have an advocate like biathlete Kelsey Dickinson, who is a pioneer for change and not afraid to dive in and do the work. Through her eyes and experiences, this episode of Heartbeat showcases the impact athletes can have on their sports. Listen in as Kelsey Dickinson walks us through the myriad ways she's having a profound impact on sport.RESOURCESExplore these links to learn more and to get engaged in programs.Women Ski Coaches AssociationU.S. Biathlon Women's Coaching InitiativeNNF Trail to Gold Grant Program

In the fast-paced world of real estate, having a well-structured CRM is paramount to ensure that no opportunities fall through the cracks. As a real estate sales trainer and coach, I emphasize that the primary function of a CRM is to manage your contacts and the relationships you build with them. This involves not just storing names, numbers, and email addresses, but also meticulously recording communication notes, dialogue, and crucial events. However, the most vital feature of any CRM is the ability to schedule and track your next activity, particularly your follow-up. For those engaged in lead generation, especially cold calling, a designated "next call date" is non-negotiable. Without it, the chances of a lead being lost are incredibly high. While you might believe you can manage without these systems initially, as your lead generation efforts become more effective, you'll quickly find yourself overwhelmed and unable to maintain consistent communication with a growing database of potential clients. When a new lead enters your system, the first step is to identify their motivation, primarily based on their timeline. This allows you to categorize them appropriately within your CRM, whether as hot, warm, or cold. This categorization, again, is intrinsically linked to time – when are they looking to transact? Consequently, your CRM should enable you to map these leads across your calendar, with a clear "next activity" or follow-up campaign scheduled. Interestingly, many software programs seem to obscure this essential "next contact" feature. Reflecting on the pre-internet era, agents relied on physical contact managers, books, or cards to record notes and track when they last communicated with someone. Organizing these chronologically, based on the next planned interaction, proved more effective than alphabetical sorting. The evolution of CRM technology brought significant advancements, moving from DOS-based systems to Windows applications that prominently featured the "next call date." These early digital tools often included functionalities like auto-dialers to streamline communication. Regardless of the platform, the core principle remains: identify a lead's motivation based on their timeline and schedule the subsequent contact accordingly. A general rule of thumb is that if you think a follow-up is needed in a month, schedule it sooner, perhaps in three weeks. The key is to proactively position yourself for timely communication based on the lead's readiness. As leads progress to a "hot" stage, indicating a potential contract within 30 days, the frequency of contact needs to increase significantly, potentially to every three to five days, utilizing a strategic blend of communication methods. Effectively managing your CRM involves more than just scheduling calls. It requires a multi-faceted approach that includes automated elements like letters, emails, and texts, especially for non-responsive leads. While text messaging can be effective, it borders on active pursuit and requires careful consideration of the lead's engagement level. Analyzing the probability of engagement is crucial, and the advent of AI holds promise for understanding behavioral patterns that influence conversion. Losing leads is an inevitable part of the business, and reflecting on why they were lost can provide valuable insights. Often, it boils down to the "dentist theory" – a lead might have an underlying need (like a cavity) but isn't ready to address it immediately. Your CRM helps you track these "patients" and follow up appropriately, ensuring you're top-of-mind when their pain point becomes acute. Building a strong relationship based on "know, like, and trust" is essential for being chosen as an agent. This choice often comes down to a personal connection ("love") or perceived value ("money"). While you can't always compete with established personal bonds, consistent communication and demonstrating value through your follow-up efforts can strengthen your position. Identifying a lead's motivation and timeline is crucial for tailoring your communication strategy. Asking the right questions about their reasons for moving and any associated conditions will help you determine the appropriate frequency and method of contact. However, it's important to acknowledge that people's plans can change, and you need to adapt accordingly. When dealing with seemingly dismissive leads, resist the urge to write them off entirely. The initial point of contact might not have been the best way to reach them, or their circumstances might have changed. Persistent yet strategic follow-up is key. It's better to risk being perceived as slightly pushy than to lose a potential deal due to a lack of communication. This requires a conscious decision to prioritize follow-up and respect the intentions you set when initially logging the lead in your CRM. By diligently adhering to your scheduled activities and genuinely engaging with your database, you significantly increase your chances of converting leads into successful transactions. Make "Follow-up Friday" a cornerstone of your weekly routine, dedicating time to reconnect with every lead and reassess their current situation.

"I didn't hit a rock bottom. I just got tired of digging…Tired of digging myself out of messes.” Lane Kiffin, Head Coach Ole Miss Football  It's a football Friday episode with the fellas as Ryan, Channing and Fred chat with one of the most polarizing figures in college sports, Coach Lane Kiffin, who's sharp wit fans have come to expect, but this conversation reveals a side of him that few get to see, full of humility, gratitude and tremendous respect for the men who helped shape his career from Nick Saban to Pete Caroll to most important his father, the late Monte Kiffin. From once being the NFL's youngest head coach at just 31, to public scrutiny in his hirings and firings to now becoming the Head man at Ole Miss football, Kiffin reflects on the peaks and pitfalls of a career that's seen everything from sideline success to very significant setbacks. Now older, wiser, and grounded in both his personal life and his coaching philosophy, Kiffin opens up about the man he's become, both for himself, his players and children. He talks candidly about getting sober, becoming a more present father, and rebuilding his life off the field, explaining how change didn't come from a breakdown, but from a decision to be better. Losing his father, his life-long hero, is a something Coach couldn't measure the impact one person could have on so many people and so many aspects of life until he had time to let his legacy sit in and guide him through the next phase of his life. The guys ask Kiffin about the ever-changing landscape of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and what it takes to keep a team together when everything around it is constantly shifting. Kiffin isn't shy about the challenges, but he's also clear-eyed about what matters most, connection and relationships with these young men. He speaks on his Quarterback, a top NFL Draft prospect, Jaxson Dart and why any of the 32 teams isn't just getting a talented stud on the field but a massive star in everyday. Reflecting on his time working with mentors, Pete Carroll and Nick Saban, Lane offers a rare look into what shaped his football mind and how getting fired from USC, the job he once idolized, became a major pivot, forcing him to grow not just as a coach, but as a human. The guys go beyond X's and O's. From laughing about yoga poses and NIL drama to unpacking grief, fatherhood, and the need for emotional sobriety, Kiffin shows that vulnerability is not weakness it's evolution... “You don't have to figure it out forever. You just have to do it today,” he says. Getting prepped for the 2025 season after Spring ball, Coach Kiffin is already scheming, tweeting and quietly building something powerful in Oxford. He may not be calling Cover 2 like his dad, but he's got a few plays dialed up you won't see coming on this episode of the Pivot. Don't forget to like and comment as you follow us on YouTube!

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into the transformative power of simple compliments and the importance of identifying and communicating the unique problems you solve in your personal and professional life. Reflecting on a recent compliment he received about his book, Baylor highlights how even a small gesture can significantly impact someone's day. He challenges listeners to take time out of their day to spread positivity by complimenting others, emphasizing how these acts build a positive community. The conversation further explores the idea of re-framing how we describe our jobs—not just by titles but by the significant problems we solve. Baylor recounts his experiences at the dog park, where he shifted the narrative about his profession, focusing instead on his role in helping people build confidence. This perspective shift not only enhances how one perceives their own value but also opens doors to meaningful conversations and opportunities for personal growth. By the end, Baylor encourages listeners to identify their unique contributions to the world and see the undeniable value in themselves and their work. Key Takeaways: The Impact of Compliments: A simple compliment can drastically improve someone's mood, creating a ripple effect of positivity. Self-Perception and Professional Value: Describe your job by the problem you solve rather than the title, increasing perceived value and self-worth. Building Confidence: By identifying as a problem solver, you open opportunities for growth and meaningful interactions. Weekend Challenge: Spend time reaching out to others with uplifting messages to promote a community of encouragement. Reflecting on Personal Contribution: Understanding your unique problem-solving capabilities can enhance job satisfaction and personal esteem. Notable Quotes: "We really understate the importance or the magnitude of a compliment." "What you do and the problem you solve are usually two different things, but the problem you solve is infinitely more important." "Everything in life that you take seriously, you're going to improve at." "You have value, you matter. But you have to see it first." "Focus on the problem you solve, and by doing that, it gives you more insight into yourself."

In this episode of the WAB Podcast, we take a look at STEM learning at WAB. Grade 9 student Zane and Grade 10 students Anna, David, and Xander take us behind the scenes of their robotics, game development, and biomedical engineering projects. What they share isn't just about technology, it's about creativity, collaboration, and learning with real-world impact.  Building, Breaking, Rebuilding: Robotics in Action  Xander and David have been working together to design a competition robot using the VEX V5 system. David focuses on 3D modeling with Onshape, while Xander brings the mechanical build to life.  "Dex V5 is an educational platform where students design, build, and program the robots to compete in yearly challenges," explains Xander. "Every new season, a new game is released, which means teams must create brand-new robots to match updated growth in the field and objectives." When asked about challenges, David shares, "Testing parts and different designs of robots takes a lot of time, especially when you physically have to swap parts in and out. To solve this problem, we started using 3D modeling code Onshape, which has helped us reduce a lot of errors during the actual building process." Using AI for Health Innovation  Anna's project is a low-cost cardiovascular risk detection device that uses AI to assess and rank heart disease risk factors. “The device uses an AI algorithm to analyze your risk factors that we'll be extracting using the same device,” she explains. “It analyzes this risk factor and also ranks them in importance.”  The hardest part, she says, was sourcing reliable training data. “Algorithms need an unbiased and balanced dataset. Patient data is hard to get due to patient privacy, but at last we found two, one from Kaggle and another from UCI.”  Anna believes that accessible AI is opening doors. “A lot of the algorithms are open source, so you can get them from the internet, and you don't have to code them on your own. With the help of AI language models, for example, ChatGPT, you're able to code these things on your own.”  Code, Graphics, and Game Design  Zane is creating a top-down RPG using GameMaker Studio. “It's free and it's really easy to learn and use,” he shares. “It's comfortable coding software that can be picked up pretty easily.”  His biggest early challenge? "Getting used to the coding software. It has a lot of functions that are convenient once you learn how to use them, but don't make much sense initially." Working in a two-person team, Zane focuses on programming while his friend Nick handles the graphics. “In the last month or so, we've kind of switched around, which is a good experience for me, and I think he's having a good time working on his programming skills.”  Reflecting on the process, Zane says, “Developing using code, I learned that mistakes are going to happen, and if you expect them, then it's easier. Expecting mistakes, one of the best things I've learned.”  Learning That Feels Real  All four students shared how these projects have pushed them, technically and personally. They've built new skills, worked through challenges, and found confidence in solving problems that matter to them.  They also spoke about how this learning is shaping their futures. For some, it sparked a clear career interest, robotics, game design, or biomedical engineering. For others, it's the mindset that's sticking with them: creativity, resilience, and the power of working with others.  “I think more people can do this than they realize,” Anna says. “With open-source tools, AI models, and even things like ChatGPT, you don't need to be an expert to start creating something meaningful.” These stories reflect the kind of purposeful, real-world learning happening all across WAB. Students are exploring big ideas, applying what they know in new ways, and connecting their passions to real-world challenges.  STEM at WAB isn't about following a textbook, it's about curiosity, collaboration, and creating with purpose.  Listen to the full conversation in Episode 5 of the WAB Podcast.

Mother Miriam calls Catholics to reclaim the depth, reverence, and sacred tradition of the Church's most solemn days. Reflecting on Palm Sunday and the intensity of Passiontide, she draws from Dom Guéranger's The Liturgical Year to reveal the profound sorrow and beauty leading up to the Triduum. She critiques the liturgical minimalism and poor catechesis that have weakened the Church's witness, especially during Holy Week. From the veiling of images to public penance and the necessity of confession, Mother calls the faithful to restore what has been lost—and live these days in full communion with Christ's Passion. She also answers listener questions on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the filioque clause, managing finances faithfully, and staying spiritually grounded through mental health struggles.U.S. residents!

What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”   John 21:7-11 — “When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, fish laid out on it, and bread. Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them.”   1 Corinthians 15:58 -- “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Peter 1:8 – “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.”
