Podcasts about Reps

Savage calls for the deportation of Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. He urges authorities to pursue denaturalization, focusing on claims of fraud and alleged misrepresentations tied to naturalization. He references a Department of Justice memo outlining cases for denaturalization. Savage condemns Omar's conduct during a presidential speech and her left-wing ties driving social unrest. Then, he explains how "boomer" rhetoric portrays older people as exploiters and echoes "kulak" scapegoating in Soviet Russia. Savage declares a patriotic warning that the U.S. is being overtaken by Islamists, communists, and anarchists   Right now, Mizzen & Main is offering our listeners 20% off your first purchase at mizzenandmain.com, promo code SAVAGE20.

The Democrats fell for President Donald Trump's trap as he delivered his State of the Union address to Congress. For much of the night, the Democrats remained seated while the Republicans stood and applauded. Is the nation as divided as our U.S. Senators and Representatives? The Sekulow team discusses Trump's SOTU speech, the furious reactions of lawmakers like Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, Trump's comments on the U.S. economy, illegal immigration, national security, and foreign policy, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

Your life doesn't change in big moments.It changes in reps. In this episode, Shane Ramer breaks down why breakthroughs are overrated, and why discipline, consistency, and daily action are what actually build authority, confidence, and sobriety. From a random airport encounter in Denver on his way to speak at Amplify Sober Voices and Podfest Expo… to recording early podcast episodes in a Chevy S-10 with no audience and no validation… this episode is about the quiet work most men avoid. We've been conditioned to chase moments: The viral clip.The big stage.The emotional breakthrough. But sobriety isn't built in moments.Marriage isn't built in moments.Leadership isn't built in moments. They're built in reps. Shane covers: Why most people quit before momentum ever kicks in The danger of waiting to “feel ready” The three forms every sober leader must train: authenticity, value, and consistency How daily alcohol-free decisions reshape your identity If you're tired of chasing motivation and ready to build real strength, this episode will recalibrate your mindset.

Coby Mayo is under the microscope again this spring with an opportunity to earn playing time at third base. His defense has been the biggest road block to this point, but how has he looked in spring action so far? Jake Rill offered his thoughts.

Today on the podcast, we share our general protocol for choosing the right weight for your lifts. Training isn't just about how hard a set feels at the moment. It's about whether the work you're doing creates enough stimulus to drive adaptation without creating so much fatigue that it interferes with future sessions. When the weight is too light, you aren't creating enough stimulus to promote change. When the weight is too heavy, form breaks down, reps turn sloppy, and the limiting factor becomes joint stress or low back fatigue instead of the target muscle. So what do you do? We have some general guidelines to help you figure out where your sweet spot is. In this episode, we discuss:Why Choosing the Right Starting Weight MattersHow to Determine What Weights to Start WithCommon Mistakes Beginners Make What is RPE and Reps in Reserve?Adjusting Weight Across Different Rep RangesHow to Progress Weight Safely Over TimeSigns You're Lifting Too Light or Too HeavyWant More?Join our Newsletter Online Nutrition Coaching Join our Facebook Group1:1 Fitness Coaching Get 3 Weeks of Nutrition Support for FreeFree Knee Pain Training GuideGet Hundreds of Movement Demos on Our Youtube Channel

In this episode, commercial litigator Dora Konomi sits down with The Honourable Justice Koehnen of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto to peel back the layers of the self-represented litigant.Are your self-reps difficult or often caught in a complex system? This episode explores the modern trends driving this rise in self-reps—including the skyrocketing cost of legal services and the "illusion of knowledge" created by AI. We also emphasize the needs to be both an advocate for your client but also a court officer and how to maintain that balance. Best practices, practical tips, and some anecdotes. Whether you are dealing with a well-meaning but overwhelmed individual or a persistent vexatious litigant, this episode provides a roadmap for separating the wheat from the chaff while maintaining professional integrity.Justice M. Koehnen practised complex commercial litigation at McMillan LLP for 29 years before being appointed to the bench, during which he appeared before courts of all levels, securities commissions, and international arbitration tribunals. His practice led him to work with a wide variety of legal and social cultures, including those of China, Iran, and Nigeria. He was active in the International Bar Association, where he served as chair of the Litigation Committee. Justice Koehnen is the author of Oppression and Related Remedies, which has been cited frequently by courts throughout Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada. In addition, he has contributed to various books dealing with director and officer liability, privilege, and arbitration.Justice Koehnen was born to immigrant parents and grew up in modest circumstances in Toronto. He was the first of his extended family to attend university, earning a B.A. and LL.B. from the University of Toronto and a diplôme d'études approfondies in international economic law from the Université Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne). Dora Konomi is a partner at Walker Law in Toronto. She is a dedicated litigator with a passion for delivering practical, client‐focused solutions in civil litigation. She has a particular interest in commercial litigation, including construction disputes, fraud, debt enforcement, and condominium law.Since being called to the Ontario Bar, Dora has gained significant experience advocating for clients in various disputes, including construction liens, shareholder issues, and fraud cases. She has represented clients across industries, from construction and financial institutions to condominium corporations, bringing her deep understanding of legal and business complexities to every case.Dora is also an award‐winning radio host and hosts a weekly radio show.Land AcknowledgementThe Advocates' Society acknowledges that our offices, located in Toronto, are on the customary and traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinabek, the Huron-Wendat and now home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.  We acknowledge current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit and honour their long history of welcoming many nations to this territory.While The Advocates' Society is based in Toronto, we are a national organization with Directors and members located across Canada in the treaty and traditional territories of many Indigenous Peoples. We encourage our members to reflect upon their relationships with the Indigenous Peoples in these territories, and the history of the land on which they live and work.We acknowledge the devastating impacts of colonization, including the history of residential schools, for many Indigenous peoples, families, and communities and commit to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in an informed legal profession in Canada and within The Advocates' Society.

Dans cet épisode, Simon décortique la différence entre les low reps et les high reps. Tu vas comprendre comment les deux approches stimulent l'hypertrophie différemment, leur impact sur la gestion des blessures et des douleurs, et comment gérer la fatigue en séance. L'objectif : t'aider à utiliser les deux stratégiquement selon le contexte (exercices composés vs isolation, début vs fin de séance, phase d'entraînement).

Reps want more pipeline, but they chase it in bursts instead of building it through consistent velocity.  In this episode, Brandon explains why pipeline is upstream math, why speed-to-contact matters more than tools, and how minimum daily output creates inevitable deal flow. You'll learn the five fastest pipeline levers: daily conversations, rapid response to intent, warm follow-up, early multi-threading, and protecting selling time.  If pipeline feels unpredictable, this episode gives you a repeatable system to produce it on demand.

There’s a theme in today’s episode of holding the breath, which is something I’ve been doing about unrest and possible US military action in Iran. Sarah and I discuss reporting that the administration seems increasingly likely to take what they term “kinetic” action (and what Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and Senators Tim Kaine and Rand Paul would call acts of war). Then there’s the way that our guest and friend Natalia Terfa describes holding her breath in Minneapolis. Even as Operation Metro Surge “winds down,” there are still agents and agitators. There is still fear and tension. There is damage left to repair after “it’s over,” and a sense that it’s not really over yet. We’re grateful to Natalia for her leadership on the ground and her willingness to discuss it with us today. We often talk about outside of politics as an exhale, and we hope it is today. We talk about our very-non-sports-y Winter Olympics takes, with a special shout out to all of you who participated in the Spice Cabinet Opening Ceremonies. If you’ve listened for a long time, you know that I love yoga. One of my favorite parts of a yoga class is taking a collective breath. It reminds me that we’re here. We’re alive, right now, and that’s its own form of miracle. It reminds me that we’re not alone. I hope this episode gives you that sense, too. -Beth Topics Discussed: Unrest in Iran and Potential Military Action On the Ground in Minneapolis with Natalia Terfa Outside of Politics: The Winter Olympics Ready to go deeper?

The episode explains how pole dancers can get stronger using progressive overload, defined as gradually increasing training stress so the body adapts during rest and the same demands become easier over time. It outlines adaptation timelines: neurological and cardiovascular changes can occur quickly (sometimes within a session for neuro drills), noticeable strength gains typically appear after about 3–6 weeks, connective tissue (tendons/ligaments) adapts around the 3-month mark, and bone density changes occur closer to 6 months. Rosy emphasizes easing back into training—especially after a break or postpartum—avoiding self-punishment, and prioritizing rest because adaptation happens during recovery. It describes ways to increase load for pole and bodyweight training: increase training frequency while keeping at least 1–2 rest days per week, increase repetitions, use time-based conditioning like a “pole treadmill” (repeated climbs/descents for time), increase resistance via weights/bands or by selecting harder bodyweight progressions, and use isometrics by holding longer or increasing tension. It notes that muscle damage is not necessarily required for positive adaptation and references Felipe Damas' work (primarily in hypertrophy research), while clarifying the focus is strength training rather than bodybuilding. The episode also explains that the body responds to chronic life stress similarly to training stress, which can hinder strength gains, and encourages stress reduction and enjoyable movement.Citations:SELYE H.

Caffeine, Polyphenols, and Smarter Training Volume: Total Reps, Fatigue, and Performance On this Valentine's Day episode of Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss authenticity in sports nutrition communication, then review an editorial in Current Developments in Nutrition (Buckley et al., with Stu Phillips as senior author) highlighting that “proper” nutrition varies by sport demands. They summarize research in the special issue on athletic performance: four papers on caffeine/coffee showing improvements across aerobic and anaerobic outcomes (power output, time to exhaustion, vertical jump, sprint performance, post-activation performance enhancement), reduced perceived fatigue, and possible benefits to hand-eye coordination, with one paper suggesting ~3 mg/kg may be sufficient versus higher dosing. They also note mixed findings on polyphenols/anthocyanins (including black currant data showing more support for recovery than performance) and mention continued creatine coverage amid ongoing misinformation.  After show/network announcements (updated podcast feed via the Iron Radio Nutrition Radio Network, Mike Nelson's free daily newsletter, and Lonnie Lowry's upcoming 2025/2026 second edition book Dietary Supplements in Sports Performance), the conversation shifts to training prescription. Phil explains programming volume via total rep targets (e.g., 30 reps) instead of fixed set/rep schemes to manage good and bad days, emphasize perfect form, and allow flexibility through “buy ups/buy outs,” including leaving the gym on days when submaximal work isn't there. The hosts discuss practical considerations like rest periods, avoiding turning the weight room into conditioning for athletes, tailoring density/rest to sport demands (powerlifting vs field sports), and coordinating training load to prevent staleness and excessive fatigue. They also address hybrid/CrossFit-style programming pitfalls, the need for purposeful periodization and strength development, and how total-dose training can help older lifters maintain muscle while managing joint stress, while still recognizing times when pushing sets is appropriate. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio + Hosts Introductions (Valentine's Day Episode) 01:03 Authenticity vs ‘Boring Experts' in Sports Nutrition Communication 02:38 Today's Agenda: New Sports Nutrition Editorial + Training Volume Flexibility 04:28 Research Roundup: Caffeine/Coffee Performance Effects (Dose, Fatigue, Coordination) 08:42 Polyphenols/Anthocyanins & Creatine: Mixed Evidence and Practical Takeaways 09:55 Network Updates, Newsletter, and Upcoming Supplements Book Promo Break 13:16 Training by Total Reps: Auto-Regulating Volume on Good vs Bad Days 18:36 Quality Reps, Rest Flexibility, and Sport-Specific Density (Strength vs Conditioning) 22:33 Strength Work vs. Conditioning: Safer Training and Better Reps 22:57 Coaching Coordination, Fatigue, and the Power of a Taper 23:51 When Coaches Misread Staleness: ‘Run More' and Other Late-Season Mistakes 24:41 Programming Hybrid Athletes: Separate Strength, Conditioning, and Simulation 26:51 Periodization 101: Stop Chasing Three Rabbits 27:26 CrossFit Reality Check: Winners Get Strong (Not Just ‘WOD of the Day') 29:13 What Takes Years: Max Strength and Muscle vs. Quick Aerobic Gains 30:26 Training as You Age: ‘Total Dose' to Maintain Muscle and Progress 33:00 Coming Back for a Meet: Build Back Smart and Don't Rush the Load 34:14 Progression Model + Wrap-Up and Safety Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Alright, so this one's just me. I dug into a pile of listener questions and it turned into something bigger than I expected. We talk about antlers, sure—but mostly we talk about reps. About why the time in the woods matters more than the score on a tape. About building a life that actually lets you hunt the way you want to hunt, instead of squeezing it in around everything else. I get into scouting in big woods, what's changed for me with a traditional bow, and why humility shows up real quick when you put the wheels away and go back to wood and string. There's some nuts-and-bolts stuff in there too—how I approach out-of-state hunts, what I've learned the hard way, and even a breakdown of the hunting trailer and cabin projects that are shaping the next few seasons. But if there's a thread running through all of it, it's this: hunting isn't separate from the rest of your life. Your fitness matters. Your recovery matters. Your mindset matters. If you want to do this for decades, you'd better treat it like something worth keeping. This episode's about playing the long game—on deer, and on yourself. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 480 Nothing  is ever as bad as it feels in the moment — perspective matters. Build a life that supports your passions instead of squeezing them in. Reps kill more deer than antler obsession ever will. Big woods demand patience, wind awareness, and a willingness to feel lost. Traditional gear forces awareness and sharpens woodsmanship. Fitness, recovery, and sleep are part of staying in the game for decades. Set attainable goals — then stack experience until bigger ones make sense.

"Where are your trays?" Few phrases spike stress levels faster, and often, all eyes turn to the person in the red hat. But what really happens behind the scenes before those trays ever reach your back table? In this powerful Operation: Collaboration episode, we pull back the curtain with medical device regional sales manager Bruce Finney to reveal the real world of vendor reps: high-pressure preparation, complex logistics, split-second problem solving, and the constant balance of being both essential to the team and still a guest in the room. From implants and instrumentation to communication breakdowns and OR realities, this conversation will change how you see the role of the rep and why true surgical success depends on collaboration from everyone involved.  Listen now and step into the OR from the other side of the red hat. #operatingroom #ornurse #vendor #scrubtech #surgery #collaboration

Governor Josh Shapiro explains why he's not attending an upcoming White House gathering of governors. Governor Shapiro is also pushing back after President Trump said he wants the federal government to take control of elections nationwide. Shapiro says Pennsylvania is ready to handle the midterms the way it always has -- at the local level. Republicans in the U.S. House are pushing major election reforms as we approach the midterms. Pennsylvania Republicans passed a restrictive voting bill in the U.S. House, with Reps. Lloyd Smucker and Scott Perry supporting the bill, which now heads to the Senate.

Angela examines the intricacies of training for muscle strength, hypertrophy, and endurance, referencing a key paper by Brad Schoenfeld that outlines effective rep ranges for different fitness goals.  She discusses the importance of neuromuscular adaptation for beginners and suggest starting with bodyweight exercises before progressing to kettlebells and heavier weights, as well as the significance of tailored training programs, especially for women undergoing menopause, advocating for high-intensity interval training and heavier lifting. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Training Ranges: Hypertrophy is typically achieved with 8 to 12 reps, strength with 1 to 5 reps, and endurance with 15 or more reps. It's important to follow a structured program to maximise results. Neuromuscular Adaptation: Beginners will experience significant improvements through neuromuscular adaptation, which involves learning proper movement patterns. Starting with bodyweight exercises like squats and pushups is effective. Progression: As individuals advance, they should gradually incorporate resistance training, starting with bodyweight exercises, then moving to bands, and eventually to weights like kettlebells for functional movements. Training for Life: Emphasis should be placed on training that prepares individuals for everyday activities, such as lifting children or carrying luggage, rather than just focusing on traditional weightlifting.

Today's Headlines: Ghislaine Maxwell invoked the Fifth during her House Oversight testimony, but her attorney said she would testify publicly if President Donald Trump grants her a pardon — claiming she could conveniently clear both Trump and Bill Clinton. The White House says a pardon isn't being discussed “at this time,” which is doing a lot of work. Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie were allowed to view the unredacted Epstein files at the DOJ for two hours and said they spotted at least six “likely incriminating” names. They didn't say who, but more lawmakers are expected to review the files soon. In the UK, King Charles said he would support investigations into Prince Andrew, including allegations he shared confidential trade information with Epstein, adding pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer as the scandal spreads across Europe. Meanwhile, the US State Department is launching a new program to fund MAGA-aligned think tanks across Europe ahead of America's 250th anniversary, while Israel approved new measures expanding control over parts of the West Bank — in violation of the Oslo Accords — ahead of yet another Netanyahu visit to DC. Back home, Dr. Mehmet Oz urged Americans to get vaccinated for measles amid the largest outbreak in decades, a federal judge allowed Trump to keep $16 billion in Gateway tunnel funding frozen for now, and Trump attacked US Olympic skier Hunter Hess for expressing “mixed emotions” about representing the country — as Lindsey Vonn fractured her shin days after tearing her ACL.

Tribal leaders from across the country are gathered in Washington D.C. this week for the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) 2026 Executive Council Winter Session and State of Indian Nations Address. NCAI Youth Commission Co-Presidents Jonas Kanuhsa (Gila River Indian Community) and Angelina Serna (Oneida Nation and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians) kicked off Monday morning's assembly by delivering the youth commission speech. Serna says her message to tribal leaders is to recognize the contributions being made by Native youth. “I really talk about tokenism when it comes to Native and really putting youth at the forefront and having youth at these tables, at these conversations, giving youth that opportunity to really learn, and for the adults to be learners and teachers as well, and incorporating language and culture in everything that we do because what we do has spirit, has purpose.” Kanuhsa says his message to attendees is to help find ways for Native youth to get more opportunities, especially for those who live in remote areas. “Opening roles for more Native youth. I think Native youth on rural reservations have a hard time maybe connecting to maybe internships, fellowships, maybe just early on new jobs, entry jobs, because of those location barriers.” The Youth Commission co-presidents also touched on safety concerns when it comes to Native people and recent federal immigration actions across the U.S. They also talked about the commission's work this week on Capitol Hill to advocate for funding, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery models for substance abuse. NCAI President Mark Macarro (Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians), who delivered the State of Indian Nations address, followed the youth commission’s remarks by saying young Native people are an important part of NCAI. “In my time here at NCAI, the youth started to say we have a voice, you know, what we have to say matters, and it matters in this moment. And, you know, we took stock of that and been making strides to have them be more inclusive. They’re right and their take on the world or take on issues in Indian Country is different than ours, and so we need to allow ourselves to hear that. but we also need to create those opportunities for us to mentor them.” NCAI’s winter session continues Tuesday with updates from federal agencies including the departments of justice, transportation, and housing. Leaders will also hear from some members of Congress from New Mexico and Washington state. U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids during a 2022 hearing. (Courtesy C-SPAN) The history and effects of Indian boarding schools would be investigated and documented under legislation re-introduced by U.S. Reps. Tom Cole (Chickasaw/R-OK) and Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS). Rep. Davids is one of the first two Native women elected to Congress, and has long spoken of the boarding school era, including on C-SPAN in 2022. “The policies and assimilation practices of the United States had the sole purpose of culturally assimilating American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children in residential boarding schools across the country. Children were coerced and compelled to attend boarding schools away from their home. Many children did not return to their families or their communities. Those that did return lost generations' worth of cultural knowledge, stories and traditions, and communities lost their language keepers, cultural practitioners and future leaders.” H.R. 7325 would establish a commission to investigate and report on the histories of more than 500 federally run boarding schools, which operated between 1819 through the 1970s. President Joe Biden formally apologized for the schools in 2024. British forces under fire from the French and Indian forces at Monongahela, when the Braddock expedition failed to take Fort Duquesne. And on this day in 1763, the French-Indian War officially ended. The armies of France and England wrestled for territory in the Americas, with both sides swaying Native tribes to help their efforts. Some, including the Ojibwe and Winnebago, helped the French, while the Iroquois helped England. While the outcome was favorable for the British, the cost of the war compelled England to raise taxes on the 13 colonies, eventually spurring the American Revolution.

In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby sits down with Nick Massaro of Membrane for a candid, no-BS conversation about what actually holds good salespeople back. From early sales foundations and structured training to the mindset traps that quietly derail deals, this episode digs into the space between opening and closing—the part most reps avoid and where deals are truly won or lost. Nick shares his journey into sales, the evolution of his mindset, and the hard-earned realization that being "the most liked rep" is often a sign something went wrong. Together, they unpack the dangers of approval-seeking, why discomfort is part of great selling, and how modern buyers require a different kind of leadership from sales professionals. This is a grounded, honest conversation for salespeople who want to stop getting compliments instead of contracts. Episode Highlights Why "You were the best rep" is often a kiss of death The difference between opening deals and advancing them How early structure shaped Nick's sales foundation The mindset shift required to lead buyers without controlling them Why avoiding money conversations quietly kills deals Selling outcomes vs. selling features—especially in complex software Letting go of approval to ask better questions What great sales and good parenting surprisingly have in common Key Takeaways Being liked doesn't equal being effective The middle of the deal—not the open or close—is where salespeople grow Approval-seeking prevents tough (necessary) conversations Buyers are in control—but salespeople must still lead Discovery isn't about sounding smart; it's about creating clarity Authenticity beats polish every time Process creates freedom, not rigidity Who Should Listen This episode is for: Salespeople who hear "we loved you" more than "we're buying" Reps who love prospecting but struggle with deal momentum Sales leaders coaching mindset, not just activity Anyone selling complex or non-commodity solutions Business owners trying to understand what their sales team is really up against About the Guest Nick Massaro is a sales professional at Membrane with a background spanning insurance, SaaS, and sales-as-a-service environments. Known for his authenticity and curiosity, Nick brings a thoughtful perspective on modern selling—one rooted in structure, accountability, and continuous improvement.
