https://teachhoops.com/ How quickly can one basketball game become an entire story in an athlete's mind? A player has a great opening night and thinks, “This is finally my year.” Another struggles and immediately thinks, “Here we go again.” A player gets fewer minutes than expected and decides the coach no longer believes in them. A teammate has a breakout game and suddenly someone else begins wondering whether they are falling behind. In this episode, Coach Collins explores one of the most important mental-performance lessons athletes and coaches can learn: one game is evidence, not a conclusion. The problem is not that athletes have emotions after competition. That is completely normal. The problem begins when those emotions start creating conclusions that the available evidence does not actually support. One poor shooting night becomes “I'm not a good shooter.” One turnover becomes “I can't handle pressure.” One change in playing time becomes “Coach doesn't trust me.” Coach Collins explains why athletes need to learn the difference between what actually happened and the story they are telling themselves about what happened. Those are two very different things. This episode introduces a simple method athletes can use following games. Create two lists. On the first, write only the facts of the performance: minutes played, shots taken, defensive communication, turnovers, effort, body language, and specific moments. On the second, write the interpretations your mind immediately wants to create. Seeing those two lists next to each other can be powerful. The first contains evidence. The second contains a story. Coach Collins also challenges athletes to approach performance more like scientists. Good scientists do not perform one experiment and immediately announce a conclusion. They gather information, look for patterns, remain curious, make adjustments, and continue testing. Athletes can do the same thing. Instead of asking, “What does this performance say about me?” ask, “What is this performance teaching me?” One question pushes athletes toward identity and judgment. The other pushes them toward curiosity, development, and growth. And this lesson matters after great games too. Athletes can become just as trapped by positive conclusions as negative ones. One great performance does not mean everything is solved. Celebrate it, enjoy it, and then study what created it so those behaviors can be repeated. For coaches, the message is equally important. Our reactions help determine the story athletes attach to their performances. Correct mistakes. Hold standards. Teach the game. But do not allow one performance to become an athlete's identity. A season is long. Roles change. Players develop. Confidence moves up and down. There will be great nights and difficult ones. The athletes who continue to improve are usually the ones who remain curious long enough to learn from all of them. One performance should never tell an athlete who they are. It should tell them what they can learn next. basketball coaching, basketball leadership, mental performance, athlete mindset, sports psychology, coaching athletes, basketball confidence, handling bad games, athlete self-awareness, player development, basketball mental toughness, performance anxiety, overcoming mistakes, basketball season, coaching confidence, athlete identity, growth mindset, basketball coaches, high school basketball, youth basketball coaching, player confidence, learning from failure, coaching mistakes, sports performance, basketball podcast, TeachHoops Keywords Learn more about your ad choices.

A new leader can arrive looking and sounding like the organisation's long-awaited saviour. They are articulate, confident, well presented and comfortable in the media. They say all the right things, reflect the mood of the moment and promise a brighter future. Then a crisis arrives. That is when employees discover whether the leader's values are genuine principles or merely attractive public relations material. Leadership integrity is not established by speeches, slogans or podcast appearances. It is revealed when revenues fall, difficult decisions must be made and the leader has something personal to lose. How does a crisis reveal a leader's true character? A crisis exposes the distance between what a leader says and what they are genuinely prepared to do. During stable periods, almost anyone can sound positive, caring and principled. The organisation is performing, customers are buying and the leader can talk confidently about people, purpose and long-term growth. The COVID-19 pandemic changed that environment almost overnight. Workforces were disrupted, markets moved rapidly and revenue disappeared across industries. Similar pressures emerge during recessions, restructures, acquisitions and technological disruption. A leader facing these conditions has difficult choices to make. Cost reductions may be unavoidable. Roles may disappear. Services may need to change. The integrity test is not whether the leader can prevent every painful decision. It is whether they explain those decisions honestly, accept responsibility and treat people with dignity. Do now: Judge leadership character by behaviour under pressure, not by appearances during comfortable times. Why do unrealistic promises destroy leadership credibility? Employees stop trusting leaders when operational reality clearly contradicts executive promises. A familiar example is the leader who announces substantial staffing reductions while promising that service quality, response times and output levels will remain exactly the same. This may reassure customers or investors temporarily, but it insults the intelligence of the people doing the work. I witnessed this while working for the Australian Government. A Minister announced a major departmental budget reduction while assuring voters that services would continue normally. Staff immediately recognised the contradiction. His credibility collapsed and motivation inside the organisation dropped. The same dynamic applies in private companies, government departments, startups and multinational corporations. Most organisations already operate with limited spare capacity. When experienced people leave, something changes: workloads increase, delivery slows, quality suffers or priorities must be reduced. Leaders do not lose credibility because conditions become difficult. They lose it when they pretend that obvious consequences do not exist. Do now: Explain what will change, what will be protected and what the organisation can no longer realistically deliver. What happens when leadership rhetoric and reality diverge? When words and actions repeatedly conflict, employees begin treating every leadership message with scepticism. A leader may initially build trust through visibility, confident communication and appealing statements about organisational values. Under financial pressure, however, they may become highly legalistic, using contracts, policies and technical rules to justify behaviour that violates the spirit of earlier commitments. Compliance with a contract does not automatically equal ethical leadership. Something can be legally defensible and still feel misleading, unfair or inconsistent with the trust previously established. The problem becomes worse when leaders insist that nothing has changed. Employees compare announcements with their daily experience. They see colleagues disappearing, resources shrinking and expectations remaining untouched. When management attempts to disguise this reality, people feel both unhappy and insulted. This gap between rhetoric and reality creates cynicism. Employees begin interpreting every new announcement as spin, even when later messages are accurate. Do now: Before communicating, ask whether employees can see clear evidence that your actions match your stated principles. Can a leader control damaging information by speaking to people individually? Isolating employees and controlling conversations rarely contains a credibility crisis because people compare experiences. A leader may attempt to minimise organisational damage by dealing with affected employees separately. Each person receives a slightly different explanation, and management hopes no one will assemble the complete picture. That approach almost never works. People talk to colleagues, former employees, customers, suppliers and professional contacts. In Japan, Australia, the United States or Europe, informal communication networks often move faster than official corporate communication. Bad news travels rapidly, particularly when employees believe information is being deliberately withheld. Once inconsistencies emerge, every executive announcement is examined for hidden meaning. The leader may continue appearing in the media, issuing press releases and offering wise commentary about business or society. Inside the company, however, those words ring hollow. The external brand and the internal leadership reputation have separated. No amount of polished communication can permanently conceal that gap. Do now: Assume employees will compare information and communicate one consistent, honest account from the beginning. Why is lost leadership trust so difficult to rebuild? Once employees conclude that a leader lacks integrity, even truthful statements may no longer be believed. Trust develops through repeated evidence that a leader's words, decisions and values are aligned. It can take years to build and only a handful of contradictory actions to destroy. When credibility disappears, rumours fill the vacuum. Genuine facts mix with fear, exaggeration, fantasy and speculation. Previously overlooked behaviour is re-examined and minor concerns acquire greater significance. Employees begin to wonder what else is being concealed. This is why public relations cannot repair a fundamentally internal leadership failure. Press releases, media interviews, town halls and corporate slogans may influence external perceptions temporarily, but employees evaluate what leaders actually do. Even if the economy improves and revenue returns, the damage can remain. The organisation may recover financially while continuing to suffer from low engagement, unwanted turnover, weak collaboration and an urgent desire for leadership change. Do now: Protect trust before it is lost; repairing credibility is far harder than preserving it through honest conduct. How can leaders preserve integrity while making painful decisions? Leaders preserve integrity by taking a long-term view, communicating transparently and sharing the burden of difficult decisions. The central issue is often the leader's time horizon. Leaders focused only on immediate survival may burn, pillage and plunder the organisation to protect their own position. Like a drowning swimmer pushing down a rescuer, they sacrifice everyone around them to remain above water. Transparency is usually the next victim. Ego encourages the leader to pretend everything is under control. Yet when reliable information disappears, rumours and supposition take over the narrative. Honesty creates a different response. Employees may accept sacrifice when they understand the situation, believe the burden is fairly distributed and see leaders accepting personal responsibility. They can work together to protect customers, preserve critical capabilities and help the organisation survive. A crisis can therefore strengthen rather than destroy leadership credibility. Humanity, humility and integrity become visible when they matter most. Do now: Tell people what you know, acknowledge what you do not know and demonstrate that leaders will share the consequences. Conclusion Leadership integrity is not a branding exercise. It is the alignment of words, decisions and conduct, particularly when the organisation is under severe pressure. A leader does not need to promise that nothing will change. That promise may be impossible to keep. The leader needs to describe reality honestly, make necessary decisions fairly and respect employees enough to tell them the truth. Crisis can expose arrogance, short-term thinking and hypocrisy. It can also reveal courage, humility and humanity. The choice lies in how the leader responds. Integrity can be thrown into the rubbish bin with all the goodwill accumulated over many years, or it can be burnished in the fire. The leader who protects it may emerge like a Phoenix: stronger, wiser and supported by people who now know exactly what that leader stands for.

What happens when taking care of someone else slowly requires you to disappear from your own life?Family caregiving rarely arrives according to plan. A diagnosis changes. A parent declines. A spouse becomes dependent. Roles reverse, schedules collapse, and someone quietly becomes responsible for another human being twenty-four hours a day.Amy and Monica Vest Wheeler explore the realities behind caregiver burnout, unpaid caregiving responsibilities, and the pressure to keep performing at work while privately carrying grief, medical decisions, and exhaustion. For many working caregivers, the strain is not only emotional. It can affect income, career stability, health, and the ability to remain in the workforce at all.Monica challenges the assumption that families should simply absorb this responsibility without consequence. The conversation turns toward workplace support for caregivers, the limitations of rigid bereavement and leave policies, and why flexible work for caregivers can be an act of both humanity and good leadership.Support can also begin closer to home. Another family member learns the care routine. Someone finally says what is really happening. A caregiver stops answering “fine” and allows another person to help carry the weight.Caregiving can be an expression of extraordinary love. But love does not make a person limitless. Sustainable care requires us to protect the life of the person receiving care without sacrificing the life of the person providing it.Moments That Create Momentum:When the Caregiver Becomes Invisible – Explore how responsibility for another person can consume so much emotional and physical energy that the caregiver's own needs quietly disappear.The Workplace Mask Caregivers Learn to Wear – Understand why employees may appear composed and productive while privately managing grief, medical crises, and round-the-clock caregiving responsibilities.Why Flexibility Is More Than an Employee Perk – Discover how small adjustments to schedules or work location can help organizations retain experienced employees instead of losing them to caregiving demands.The Cost of Keeping Caregiving a Family Secret – See how shame, privacy, and poor communication can leave one person carrying responsibilities that could be shared across family, friends, and community.Your Life Is Just as Worthy as the Person You're Caring For – Hear why caregiving cannot require complete self-erasure, and how protecting the caregiver may ultimately protect the person receiving care too.About the Guest:Monica Vest Wheeler speaks with heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, helping caregivers, families, and communities navigate some of life's most difficult moments. Her work is rooted in lived experience, including hundreds of interviews, volunteer work at more than 180 stroke and brain injury camps nationwide, facilitating hundreds of support and discussion groups, personal caregiving journeys, and her own openness about mental health. She has written more than a dozen books on Peoria, Illinois, history, along with five books exploring health, grief, and the emotional realities families face during catastrophic life events.As a writer and presenter, Monica is unafraid to address the questions many people avoid. She brings truth, warmth, humor, and practical clarity to conversations about caregiving, grief, communication, and emotional survival. Her work gives caregivers permission to ask for help without shame, encourages patients and survivors to express what they are experiencing, and reinforces one of the lessons she has seen repeatedly: families who communicate are more likely to stay connected through crisis rather than fall apart.https://www.monicavestwheeler.comhttps://www.facebook.com/monicavestwheelerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/monicavestwheeler/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Amazon dropped a WARN notice Monday confirming 121 layoffs across Washington state — 49 at the SEA106 tower in Bellevue alone, more across Seattle's downtown offices, and 32 warehouse workers at the BFI1 fulfillment center in Sumner. Roles cut span entry-level software engineers and applied scientists all the way to a vice president of legal and senior product managers. Another hundred-plus jobs gone from a state that has been hemorrhaging tech employment all year.The WARN database tells a broader story: T-Mobile, Columbia Hospitality, Starbucks, Salesforce, Tableau, Zillow, and Visa have all filed notices in recent months. Washington's political class has been conspicuously quiet — except for Katie Wilson, who is actively pushing a millionaire tax that would accelerate the very exodus these filings document.Sean connects the dots: Seattle's payroll tax already drove Amazon and others to shift headcount to Bellevue and out of state entirely. The proposed millionaire tax adds another layer of incentive to take capital, executives, and jobs to Tennessee, Texas, or anywhere that isn't taxing success out of existence. The cause and effect is playing out in real time on the WARN database every Monday morning.CHAPTERS0:00 Amazon lays off 121 workers across…1:40 Amazon Lays Off 121 in Washington2:14 Amazon WARN Filing Hits Bellevue and…4:24 AI Blamed for Amazon Tech Layoffs5:49 T-Mobile Adds to Washington Layoff Wave7:04 Seattle Payroll Tax Pushes Jobs South8:07 Starbucks Workers Reject Nashville…9:42 Google, Salesforce, Zillow Cut…11:03 Salesforce and Starbucks Detail…12:30 WA Politicians Dismiss Millionaire…14:17 Seattle Funds LGBTQ Programs Despite…17:24 Amazon and Starbucks Exit Washington…19:01 Meta Pulls Back from Washington State22:21 Millionaire Tax Accelerates Washington…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, the Seattle doom loop, and the stories the legacy press keeps burying.#NFRP #Amazon #WashingtonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Ben Symes was in the Aviva to speak with League Of Ireland Academies Director Will Clarke, where they look at the year gone by since the last budget, particularly the lack of female applicants for LOI roles over the course of the year.The League of Ireland on Off The Ball.

Gentlemen, welcome to the fourth and final episode of this month's series with my wife Jessica, and I want to start by saying thank you for showing up for this one, since August actually had five Fridays this year, which means she recorded a full bonus episode she didn't have to do. Today we're tackling something that trips up more marriages than almost anything else: roles and expectations, and specifically, all the unspoken assumptions about who does what that quietly cause resentment when they're never actually talked about. Jessica and I get into the finances first, how I took over bill paying for our first five years of marriage and, driven by my own anxiety around debt, paid things down so aggressively it actually put us in a bind more than once. We talk through why swapping our roles, me handling investing and her handling the day to day bills, ended up being the right fit for both of us, and why neither of us wants to trade back. From there we get into dinner, probably the single area that's caused us the most quiet frustration over the years, from Jessica's years of resentment doing all the cooking to the practical shift we finally made once we actually talked about it out loud instead of just enduring it. We also open up about how we split the harder parenting conversations, why the sex talk with our boys has always fallen to me, and why Jessica has become the one I lean on for basically every other hard conversation in our house. I share what I've learned watching her approach conflict, calm, strategic, and incredibly well timed, compared to my own instinct to just react in the moment. We close out by talking through how we split up kids' sports and activities, and what boundaries actually held up over 22 years of marriage. If your marriage has ever hit friction over who's supposed to be doing what, and you've never actually sat down and talked about it, this conversation is a real look at how two people figured that out over two decades together, including the parts that took way too long to fix.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Introducing the fourth and final episode of the August series with Jessica [12:56] Reflecting on last week's lower-energy episode and setting up today's topic: roles and expectations [14:12] Larry announces Roommates to Soulmates cohort three, starting September 16th [16:33] Why unspoken and unknown expectations are what actually trip couples up the most [19:00] The early years of bill paying: Larry's aggressive debt payoff and the strain it caused [21:52] Why paying bills stressed Larry out so deeply, no matter how much money was in the bank [24:36] Checking in on whether Jessica still feels good about handling the bills 17 years later [25:39] Introducing the second financial role: why Larry handles all the investing [27:05] Larry's own journey from investing overwhelm to genuinely loving it today [30:45] Confirming neither of them wants to trade financial roles, and why that alignment matters [31:27] Introducing the dinner problem: why family meals can become a major source of strife [32:52] The moment, about a year ago, Jessica finally said out loud that she hated cooking [33:32] The fix: splitting cooking nights and having the non-cooking spouse handle cleanup [37:55] Larry announces the first-ever Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals, November 15th [42:22] Checking in on what Jessica would still change about how dinner works today [43:24] Jessica's regret: never requiring the kids to eat what was served instead of making separate meals [46:34] Why the sex talk role has always fallen to Larry, and how he approaches it with their boys [52:36] Breaking down Jessica's calm, strategic approach to conflict versus Larry's reactive instinct [57:14] A callback to an earlier, lighter moment in the series about Larry's past drinking [1:00:49] How they split kids' sports and activities, and the assumptions each of them still carries [1:03:22] What comes next: Jessica joining monthly, and how to submit topic ideas [1:04:51] Introducing two free resources: 25 Intimate Conversation Starters and 21 Days to an Extraordinary Marriage   Five Key Takeaways Roles that feel natural today were often built through real trial and error, not instinct. Larry and Jessica swapped financial responsibilities after outside mentors pointed out they'd assigned them backward, and it took years to get right. Resentment builds fastest around unspoken expectations. Nearly every friction point in their marriage, from bills to dinner, traces back to one person assuming a role the other person quietly grew to dread. Sometimes the fix is simple once you finally say the hard thing out loud. Jessica's years of resentment around cooking dissolved almost immediately once she told Larry directly that she hated it, leading to a workable rotation within one conversation. Timing matters as much as the message when addressing conflict. Jessica's approach of waiting for a calm moment, rather than confronting an issue in the heat of frustration, consistently produces a better outcome than reacting immediately. Roles don't have to be permanent or symmetrical to work. Twenty-two years in, the goal isn't a perfectly even split of every responsibility, it's each person operating in the role that actually fits them, while staying willing to revisit it when it's not working.   Links & Resources Shownotes for this episode: http://thedadedge.com/1524 Roommates to Soulmates (Larry's 8-week marriage coaching cohort; next cohort starts September 16th, with free preview calls): http://thedadedge.com/soulmates The Dad Edge Day at State Farm Stadium (Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams, November 15): https://thedadedge.com/nfl  Closing Wrapping up this series, what stands out most is that Jessica and I don't have this figured out because we never struggled, we have it figured out because we finally stopped avoiding the hard conversations about who does what and why. Every role we've settled into came from a real conversation, sometimes an overdue one, not from assuming the other person would just handle it or just deal with it forever. If something in your own marriage has quietly been building resentment because nobody's actually said it out loud, let this be the nudge to finally have that conversation. Go out and live legendary.  

The episode reveals a structural shift away from indiscriminate adoption of AI tools toward targeted deployment based on business needs within the MSP sector. According to Uptime Global, a channel-only outsourcing provider, premature or hype-driven implementation of AI frequently results in incomplete projects and missed operational gains. The review of AI execution within MSP ticketing environments shows that sustainable value emerges when organizations align AI initiatives with clearly identified business issues, rather than searching for use cases to justify a technology already acquired. Concrete evidence from Uptime Global's experience indicates that approximately 25% of their MSP partners have deployed notable AI solutions beyond ticket triage functions in the past 18 months, according to Jason Kemsley, Chief Revenue Officer. Outcomes vary: roughly half saw ticket volume reductions of 10–25%, while the remainder experienced limited value or customer dissatisfaction tied to inadequate human involvement in support processes. Uptime's operational model uses a confidence threshold for AI-driven actions, where only outputs above 98% confidence automatically execute—mirroring human engineer accuracy rates—and anything below triggers human review. Supporting developments further highlight the shift's operational impact. Uptime Global has eliminated dedicated triage and dispatch roles due to increased AI efficiency, resulting in a role blend where “first responders” now handle both traditional triage and basic technical support tasks within set time limits . The company's pricing structure is affected by AI efficiency, creating margin pressure as contract models based on per-ticket or per-device pricing are exposed to declining ticket volume and shifting customer expectations around service value and outcomes. For MSPs and IT service providers, the operational implications center on increased pricing pressure, the erosion of certain labor-based roles, and the requirement to redesign governance and accountability models to accommodate both automated and human ticket outcomes. Vendor dependency grows as MSPs rely on AI-driven platforms to triage, allocate, and resolve tickets, increasing exposure to platform-specific risks and necessitating clear thresholds for AI confidence and human intervention. Contract structures that do not account for dynamic efficiency gains may create pricing misalignment and customer dissatisfaction over time, emphasizing the need for providers to actively manage and transparently communicate both the tradeoffs and limits of AI-enabled support.

Framing the Roles in Marriage. Fullfilling the Roles in Marriage.

Sermon for August 23, 2026

In this episode of Talk Law Radio, attorneys Todd Marquardt and Benjamin T. Kemmy lead a discussion covering personal financial planning strategies and the legal complexities of high-profile medical malpractice claims. Episode Summary The episode opens with Todd Marquardt presenting the "Financial Focus" segment on behalf of Financial Planning HQ. Marquardt addresses the common financial dilemma faced by parents: prioritizing saving for a child's college education versus preparing for retirement. He outlines current college cost projections, discusses alternative options such as community college and merit/athletic scholarships, and highlights modern trends where families emphasize return on investment (ROI) when choosing career paths. In the primary segment of the show, Marquardt is joined by San Antonio attorney Benjamin T. Kemmy, whose practice focuses on personal injury and medical malpractice. Together, they analyze the civil medical malpractice lawsuit filed by Lindsay Clancy—a former Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse facing murder charges for strangling her three children during a severe mental health crisis—against her treating psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and medical facilities. The discussion breaks down the legal framework of medical negligence, the standard of care in psychiatric treatment, the challenges of proving causation, and the key differences between civil and criminal proceedings. Key Takeaways Values-Based Financial Planning (College vs. Retirement): Financial decisions regarding higher education should be aligned with family values and long-term security. Relying solely on retirement delay to fund college can lead to financial instability, whereas alternatives—such as local free community college programs or merit and athletic scholarships—can ease the burden. Modern college planning increasingly focuses on the return on investment (ROI) of a chosen degree relative to career earning potential. Core Elements of a Medical Malpractice Claim: To recover civil money damages, a plaintiff must establish four key legal elements: Duty, Breach, Causation, and Damages. Physicians owe patients a duty to provide care that meets the accepted national standard of a reasonable and prudent practitioner in similar circumstances. Breaches in psychiatric cases often center around failure to obtain proper patient history, improper medication management (uncoordinated polypharmacy), and failure to investigate severe symptoms such as intrusive thoughts or command hallucinations. The Challenge of Proving Causation in Psychiatric Cases: Demonstrating that medical negligence directly caused a tragic event (such as self-harm or harm to others) is often the most difficult burden for a plaintiff's legal team. Courts often scrutinize whether an act was an independent action of the patient or a foreseeable outcome of prescribed psychotropic medications and uncoordinated care. Civil Lawsuits vs. Criminal Trials: Burden of Proof: Criminal cases require the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to strip someone of liberty. Civil lawsuits require a lower standard—preponderance of the evidence (proving allegations are more likely true than not) to award financial compensation. Roles of Judge and Jury: In civil trials, the judge decides issues of law and admissible evidence, while a jury of non-experts acts as the sole judge of the facts, evaluating conflicting expert testimony to determine liability. Communication in Healthcare: Lack of communication and poor record coordination among multiple healthcare providers represent one of the most frequent root causes of medical negligence. -Sponsored by Marquardt Law Firm and Financial Planning HQ -Go to marquardtlawfirm.com and financialplanninghq.net If you found this episode valuable, please Subscribe and hit the Notification Bell on YouTube.

The Chicago Bulls are entering a new era, and several roles on this roster could change fast.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Bryson Graham and Tiago Splitter appear to be steering the Bulls toward a true rebuild instead of chasing the Play-In Tournament at all costs. That means this season could feel very different — roles will be earned, young players will be tested, and veterans may not be locked into the same responsibilities they had under the previous regime.Haize starts with Josh Giddey, whose role could become more simplified. Giddey may still be important as a facilitator, but with Norman Powell, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis expected to carry more scoring responsibility, Tiago Splitter may not ask Giddey to be the same scoring-heavy lead guard Chicago saw last season.Then the show shifts to Leonard Miller, who could force his way into bigger minutes after a strong finish last season. Miller averaged nearly 15 points and 7.3 rebounds over his final 18 games while shooting efficiently, and his size, energy and two-way upside could make him a natural fit for the new Bulls identity.The most explosive conversation: Patrick Williams' rotation spot may no longer be safe. Patrick is still making major money, but this new front office has no attachment to that contract. With Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Isaac Okoro, Leonard Miller, Noa Essengue and Jalen Smith all competing for forward minutes, Patrick should have to earn his role in camp.Haize also breaks down the Bulls' failed search for a bench scorer. Chicago missed on or was connected to Bennedict Mathurin, Jonathan Kuminga and Sylvain Francisco, leaving a real opportunity for Rob Dillingham, Jaylin Sellers and Dailyn Swain to claim the job.Finally, Haize asks whether Bryson Graham quietly built this roster for another trade-deadline pivot. Norman Powell, Tre Jones, Zach Collins, Jalen Smith and Isaac Okoro can all help now — but they may also become movable assets if contenders come calling.

The Rizzuto Show kicks things off by remembering Tim Curry, his legendary career, and the unfortunate timing of losing another beloved celebrity during an already emotional week. That leads the crew into the important question of who could possibly fill the role of a universally beloved celebrity these days. Adam Sandler gets consideration, Jeff Bridges enters the conversation, and eventually Keanu Reeves emerges as a pretty strong candidate because apparently quietly eating ice cream and being a decent human being now qualifies you for sainthood. Fair enough.Then everybody gets nostalgic about childhood discipline, which quickly becomes less “remember the good old days?” and more “should somebody have called somebody?” The crew remembers wooden spoons, belts, Hot Wheels tracks, fly swatters, soap in the mouth and the terrifying parental phrase that basically meant your afternoon plans had been canceled. It's another wholesome trip down memory lane from your favorite funny podcast, assuming your memories involve calculating the trajectory of a leather belt like you're working for NASA.Next stop: Burning Man, where the crew investigates the return of the infamous adults-only dome after last year's wind-related disaster. There are rules now: IDs, consent, no recording devices and, most importantly, no singles strolling in alone. Which naturally launches a completely necessary discussion about whether two buddies could simply pretend to be a couple to get through the door. Journalism is alive and well.Things somehow become more respectable when we arrive in Tulsa, where authorities are searching for a mysterious serial defecator accused of targeting businesses while dressed in an ensemble involving tiny underwear, a shower cap, a modified mask and Crocs. The most damning detail? The Crocs apparently weren't in sport mode. That's how you know this guy fears neither God nor law enforcement.And then comes Oreogate.A kindergarten mom reportedly asks the other parents to stop packing Oreos because her daughter gets upset when other kids have them. No allergy. No medical issue. Just the brutal realization that another five-year-old has cookies and you do not. When the other parents refuse to reorganize their children's lunches around this international crisis, Mom considers switching schools.Over Oreos.Meanwhile, the kid starts trading for them anyway, proving once again that kindergarten cafeterias are basically tiny prisons with better wall art. The crew debates school-lunch currency, Double Stuf superiority, Golden Oreos, questionable specialty flavors and the economic insanity required to consider changing schools because Nabisco has destroyed the peace.There are even pickle-flavored Oreo-adjacent horrors entering the studio, because apparently talking about terrible cookies wasn't enough—we needed witnesses.It's celebrity talk, childhood trauma disguised as nostalgia, weird news, Burning Man logistics, criminal fashion analysis and one kindergarten snack dispute treated with roughly the seriousness of an international trade embargo.The crew dives into UFOs becoming UAPs, government disclosures, Bob Lazar, Area 51 and whether actual extraterrestrial visitors could finally unite humanity. Rafe thinks having one common alien enemy might finally turn us all into citizens of Earth. Moon isn't buying that optimism and figures we'd probably start fighting over which country gets custody of the aliens before they even get out of the ship. Sounds about right.Back on Earth, St. Louis is getting a little Hollywood treatment with The Streak, a sports comedy filming locally about Caltech's legendary basketball team snapping a 310-game losing streak. The production needs roughly 1,800 volunteer extras for basketball crowd scenes, meaning you too can spend five hours waiting around for your glorious half-second of blurry cinematic immortality. At least they're bringing stand-up comedians in to entertain the extras between takes.Then we enter conspiracy territory with Tropical Storm Dolly. Yes, shortly after Dolly Parton's passing, the next named Atlantic storm happens to be Dolly. No, they didn't name it after her. Yes, the names were already determined. And yes, people online are still turning it into a conspiracy because apparently coincidence was removed from the Internet's vocabulary sometime around 2017. It's the kind of discussion a comedy podcast was genetically engineered to handle.The show also remembers the incredible Tim Curry, looking back at everything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to Home Alone 2, Congo and his nightmare-fueling performance as Pennywise in the 1990 TV adaptation of It. Somehow that horrifying sewer scene aired on network television and an entire generation of children was simply expected to sleep afterward. The '90s were built different.Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, Jamie Foxx discussing changes made to Django Unchained, a Quentin Tarantino-written Cliff Booth project, the original Sandlot cast reuniting for Dugout Dads, and the revelation that Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez grew up to become a firefighter. There is also a detour into a bizarre 2015 incident involving actor Mike Vitar because apparently even The Sandlot can't survive this show without us finding something weird.Ozzy Osbourne is getting his own Halloween Horror Nights attraction, Boston is celebrating 50 years with previously unreleased demos, Eric Clapton and John Mayer have a limited-edition guitar collection benefiting Clapton's recovery center, and Rupert Grint is returning as an adult Ron Weasley on Broadway. It's celebrity news, music news and pop culture commentary delivered with the level of professionalism you've come to expect from people debating alien treaties earlier in the episode.Before social media algorithms knew everything about you, the internet was a simpler place. A lawless, dial-up wasteland where your email address was probably something like BongRipper69@hotmail.com and one accidental click on Rotten.com could permanently alter the trajectory of your childhood.So naturally, The Rizzuto Show is going back.This episode starts with more nostalgia for the early internet and one of its most infamous destinations: Rotten.com. Back then, you couldn't just stumble across every horrifying thing imaginable while casually scrolling your phone. No, sir. You had to work for your trauma. You had to hear about Rotten.com from somebody, type it into the family computer, click something you absolutely shouldn't have clicked, and then wait patiently while your dial-up connection loaded your lifelong regret one horrifying line at a time.Was Rotten.com disgusting? Absolutely.Does the crew still seem weirdly sad that it's gone?Also absolutely.Then we move from internet trauma to another relic of the '90s and early 2000s: Hotmail.A poll says 18% of people are apparently still rocking a Hotmail address, which leads to an important discovery: Hotmail never completely disappeared. Microsoft eventually transitioned the service into Outlook, meaning technically some of us may still be living inside the Hotmail universe.We're all dorks. Fantastic.The crew remembers the era when nobody used their actual name for an email address. Instead, we created identities that looked like rejected Xbox gamertags: random nicknames, 420s, 69s and enough questionable innuendo to make applying for a respectable adult job years later slightly complicated.And then there are the complaint emails.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Tulsa cops hunting ‘serial defecator' wearing thong, mask and shower cap who terrorized local businessesBride and groom bedridden for days after norovirus-tainted wedding mealTim Curry, Famous for Roles in Rocky Horror Picture Show, It and Annie, Dies at 80, 14 Years After Paralyzing StrokeDozens of new Missouri laws take effect FridayMan, 26, arrested after dressing as ‘Grim Reaper' and climbing onto hospital roof with long scythe to stare at patientsWhy You Shouldn't Squish Ants—and What to Do InsteadMaryville University Hockey Rink expansion to be named after Blues legendSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

https://teachhoops.com/teachhoops-memberships/2000/ https://www.thechampionshipcoach.com/ When Your Tank Is Only 80% Full, Is It Time to Walk Away? Episode 2000: Coach Bill turns the microphone on Steve Collins for a conversation about 37 years on the sideline, three state titles, one 7 and 14 season, and what the game actually owes the kids who never become stars. For the 2000th episode of Coach Unplugged, the format flips. Coach Bill takes over the questions and Steve sits in the guest chair for the first time, fresh off a state finals run and the first fall in nearly four decades with no season to plan. They talk about what it felt like the moment it ended, the bus ride from La Crosse that turned a losing program around, and the price his family paid along the way. Stay to the end for a 2000th episode offer that only lives here in the show notes. IN THIS EPISODE 01:17 A milestone inside a milestone. First fall in 37 years with no season and no lesson plans. 02:13 How Coach Unplugged started. A YouTube idea with a friend, back when podcasting was actually hard. 04:33 "I felt full." The feeling after the final game, and why you want to leave the amusement park while you still want to ride. 06:35 The storybook ending. Up two at halftime on the eighth ranked team in the country, 27 and 3, and why a great taste makes walking away both easier and harder. 08:13 What retirement actually looks like. Family, travel, and four clinic dates this fall including Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Brooklyn. 09:32 Why start another basketball podcast? Nobody was talking to the coach in the trenches. The parent problems, the bus that never shows, the missing official 30 minutes before tip. 11:37 The 7 and 14 season. Sitting in a locker room in La Crosse saying "I don't think I can do this," as the only applicant for the job. 13:03 The roadmap from that bus ride. How two hours back to Madison became the plan for one of the best programs in the Midwest. 14:32 Find your circle and keep it close. The advice from his high school coach that produced two staffs in 30 years. 16:18 The resume. Three state championships, five runner up finishes, eleven state appearances, fourteen straight conference titles, twenty six consecutive winning seasons, and why none of it sounds real to him. 17:08 Micro goals. Don't get fired. Then have a winning season. Then beat the perennial power. Then contend. Then win it. 18:40 Out scouting everybody. Sending his mom to a game with a camera, VCRs in the basement until 2 a.m., and why that edge is gone now. 19:43 What does coaching owe the kids who never play in college? Roles, camaraderie, failing together, and the life lessons kids remember long after the Pythagorean theorem. 22:23 The two kinds of coaches who ask for help. The young ones who know they don't know, and the veterans still hunting for an edge. It's the middle group that stalls out. 23:35 The price. What the wins cost his wife, his parents, and his mother in law, and why both of his kids will tell you he never missed anything. 26:15 Rapid fire for the first year coach. Worry less about parents and more about players. Communicate, then over communicate. After a bad loss go exercise and do not watch film. Stop drilling for the sake of drilling. 28:37 How do you know you were successful? Strip away the banners and the wins and what's left is the connection with the players. 29:21 One sentence, if that's all a coach remembers. People first. 29:44 The second act. The Championship Coach fellowship, one on one calls, group calls, and coaches who have his actual cell number. 30:02 Building Hey Sammy. Bill on the app overload problem in youth sports, and a text based assistant that pulls in schedules, calendars, drive time, and weather with nothing to install. 32:04 The golden nugget, buried at the end on purpose. THE 2000TH EPISODE OFFER 20% off teachhoops.com for the lifetime of the membership, for the first 20 coaches only.

https://teachhoops.com/ How quickly can one basketball game become an entire story in an athlete's mind? A player has a great opening night and thinks, “This is finally my year.” Another struggles and immediately thinks, “Here we go again.” A player gets fewer minutes than expected and decides the coach no longer believes in them. A teammate has a breakout game and suddenly someone else begins wondering whether they are falling behind. In this episode, Coach Collins explores one of the most important mental-performance lessons athletes and coaches can learn: one game is evidence, not a conclusion. The problem is not that athletes have emotions after competition. That is completely normal. The problem begins when those emotions start creating conclusions that the available evidence does not actually support. One poor shooting night becomes “I'm not a good shooter.” One turnover becomes “I can't handle pressure.” One change in playing time becomes “Coach doesn't trust me.” Coach Collins explains why athletes need to learn the difference between what actually happened and the story they are telling themselves about what happened. Those are two very different things. This episode introduces a simple method athletes can use following games. Create two lists. On the first, write only the facts of the performance: minutes played, shots taken, defensive communication, turnovers, effort, body language, and specific moments. On the second, write the interpretations your mind immediately wants to create. Seeing those two lists next to each other can be powerful. The first contains evidence. The second contains a story. Coach Collins also challenges athletes to approach performance more like scientists. Good scientists do not perform one experiment and immediately announce a conclusion. They gather information, look for patterns, remain curious, make adjustments, and continue testing. Athletes can do the same thing. Instead of asking, “What does this performance say about me?” ask, “What is this performance teaching me?” One question pushes athletes toward identity and judgment. The other pushes them toward curiosity, development, and growth. And this lesson matters after great games too. Athletes can become just as trapped by positive conclusions as negative ones. One great performance does not mean everything is solved. Celebrate it, enjoy it, and then study what created it so those behaviors can be repeated. For coaches, the message is equally important. Our reactions help determine the story athletes attach to their performances. Correct mistakes. Hold standards. Teach the game. But do not allow one performance to become an athlete's identity. A season is long. Roles change. Players develop. Confidence moves up and down. There will be great nights and difficult ones. The athletes who continue to improve are usually the ones who remain curious long enough to learn from all of them. One performance should never tell an athlete who they are. It should tell them what they can learn next. basketball coaching, basketball leadership, mental performance, athlete mindset, sports psychology, coaching athletes, basketball confidence, handling bad games, athlete self-awareness, player development, basketball mental toughness, performance anxiety, overcoming mistakes, basketball season, coaching confidence, athlete identity, growth mindset, basketball coaches, high school basketball, youth basketball coaching, player confidence, learning from failure, coaching mistakes, sports performance, basketball podcast, TeachHoops Keywords Learn more about your ad choices.

And you're like, wow, I've got to make a lot of money. I've got to make a lot of sales. Yeah, in those 24 hours to make it worth it. So tell me about, you know, a how you're finding these influencers and bloggers, and then B, what type of payment structure are you coming up with.Vincenzo 00:01:29  Sure. So the first tip and this would be for YouTube. One thing that my team does, and of course the only downside of this is that it's very manual work. So it's going to be time consuming if you don't want to use a platform, but still it's an option to do it. So what you will do is you go to YouTube and let's say you want to do vitamin C, right? So you're gonna put all is the name of the product. And then then you put Amazon. So it could be vitamin C, Amazon or top vitamin C Amazon. And the reason why you put Amazon is because at the end of the day, YouTube is a search engine.Vincenzo 00:01:59  And that is gonna matches most of the time with videos that say top ten vitamin C on Amazon, or even if it's not title, it's gonna match it with the link of the influencer. Because if these guys do influence, they have an Amazon influencer account. The links that they put in the description have the Amazon world on it. Therefore, the search engine is going to match me with those videos. And that's the first filtering. I already know. Which ones are the guys that have been working with Amazon brands in the past. They know how the whole ecosystem works, and it's easier than working with a person that, you know, they just do blogs and they don't even have an idea about what is selling on Amazon. So I want to make sure they speak the same language. That's the first thing. The second thing is when it comes to payment terms. So these are different ways you can do it. So the first way of doing it is a matching the Amazon Commission as I mentioned.Vincenzo 00:02:50  So for example if they do 3% or 5% for Amazon with double, so we give 610% to them. Another option that we do is to write them matching the the commission. We might do just a flat fee, right? Maybe initially, when you know that relationship still doesn't exist with influence, it would do a flat fee, which I know sometimes it can be heavy, as you mentioned. But again, there there are many ways for you to, you know, analyze the, the actual YouTube channel. There are tools that you put the, the hashtag and it gives you like the history, the views, engagement and so on. And that can give you like a good idea about how good this influencer is. And based on that, if this guy asks you for 1000, but then you see that the average likes for videos like two likes, you see that that traffic is fake. So that's a red flag. And the third option, which is this is the most difficult to get. But if you get this, I would say this one is the best way.Vincenzo 00:03:46  It's basically you you transform this person into an ambassador, right. So an ambassador means that basically they become like the face of your product, and they basically talk about your product and pretty much every single video. Like it could be a banner at the beginning or you start sponsoring ...

https://teachhoops.com/ How quickly can one basketball game become an entire story in an athlete's mind? A player has a great opening night and thinks, “This is finally my year.” Another struggles and immediately thinks, “Here we go again.” A player gets fewer minutes than expected and decides the coach no longer believes in them. A teammate has a breakout game and suddenly someone else begins wondering whether they are falling behind. In this episode, Coach Collins explores one of the most important mental-performance lessons athletes and coaches can learn: one game is evidence, not a conclusion. The problem is not that athletes have emotions after competition. That is completely normal. The problem begins when those emotions start creating conclusions that the available evidence does not actually support. One poor shooting night becomes “I'm not a good shooter.” One turnover becomes “I can't handle pressure.” One change in playing time becomes “Coach doesn't trust me.” Coach Collins explains why athletes need to learn the difference between what actually happened and the story they are telling themselves about what happened. Those are two very different things. This episode introduces a simple method athletes can use following games. Create two lists. On the first, write only the facts of the performance: minutes played, shots taken, defensive communication, turnovers, effort, body language, and specific moments. On the second, write the interpretations your mind immediately wants to create. Seeing those two lists next to each other can be powerful. The first contains evidence. The second contains a story. Coach Collins also challenges athletes to approach performance more like scientists. Good scientists do not perform one experiment and immediately announce a conclusion. They gather information, look for patterns, remain curious, make adjustments, and continue testing. Athletes can do the same thing. Instead of asking, “What does this performance say about me?” ask, “What is this performance teaching me?” One question pushes athletes toward identity and judgment. The other pushes them toward curiosity, development, and growth. And this lesson matters after great games too. Athletes can become just as trapped by positive conclusions as negative ones. One great performance does not mean everything is solved. Celebrate it, enjoy it, and then study what created it so those behaviors can be repeated. For coaches, the message is equally important. Our reactions help determine the story athletes attach to their performances. Correct mistakes. Hold standards. Teach the game. But do not allow one performance to become an athlete's identity. A season is long. Roles change. Players develop. Confidence moves up and down. There will be great nights and difficult ones. The athletes who continue to improve are usually the ones who remain curious long enough to learn from all of them. One performance should never tell an athlete who they are. It should tell them what they can learn next. basketball coaching, basketball leadership, mental performance, athlete mindset, sports psychology, coaching athletes, basketball confidence, handling bad games, athlete self-awareness, player development, basketball mental toughness, performance anxiety, overcoming mistakes, basketball season, coaching confidence, athlete identity, growth mindset, basketball coaches, high school basketball, youth basketball coaching, player confidence, learning from failure, coaching mistakes, sports performance, basketball podcast, TeachHoops Keywords Learn more about your ad choices.

Every year, approximately 200,000 U.S. service members transition from military service to civilian careers. Employers say they want to hire veterans, yet highly qualified military talent is still too often overlooked. The problem isn't a lack of skills—it's the challenge of translating military experience into language civilian employers and hiring managers understand. In this episode of the Optimistic Outlook, Kristine Irwin, who leads military talent strategy and partnerships at Siemens, is joined by Charlie Martinez, national lead for the Siemens SkillBridge program, and Cathy Miclat, Director of Career Services at Vets2PM. Together, they explore how employers can better recognize transferable military skills, improve veteran hiring, and build stronger pathways from military service to civilian careers. Charlie knows the transition firsthand. After serving seven years in the U.S. Air Force, he transitioned to the civilian workforce through SkillBridge before joining Siemens. Today, he leads the same program that helped launch his civilian career. He shares how he learned to translate his military experience into civilian terms, and why veterans shouldn't have to make their experience sound like something it wasn't for employers to recognize its value. The conversation explores: Why military skills are highly transferable—and why matching military and civilian job titles isn't always the best approach The language and communication gaps that can make it difficult for veterans to translate their experience on résumés and in interviews Common misconceptions and mistakes employers make when recruiting and hiring transitioning service members and veterans How SkillBridge helps service members gain civilian industry experience before leaving the military How Siemens' Expedite for Vets micro-credential program helps bridge the gap between military experience and industry-recognized credentials How employers can build effective military talent partnerships and create stronger veteran hiring pipelines Practical steps companies can take to attract, hire, and retain veteran talent Whether you're a hiring manager, HR or talent acquisition leader, workforce development professional, veteran, or transitioning service member, this conversation offers practical insights into veteran employment and what it takes to turn military experience into opportunity. Because the goal isn't to make military experience fit a civilian job description. It's to help employers recognize the skills, experience, leadership, and potential veterans already bring to the workforce.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hello Dave and Jamison! I'm a longtime listener going back to the early days of the podcast, and I've listened to every episode since. When I started listening, I was beginning my career as a software engineer. Your advice has truly helped shape how I think about work, engineering, leadership, and all the weird human stuff that comes with building software. Now I'm more than 10 years into my career, and I've run into a problem that I suspect many experienced engineers are dealing with right now. In episode 521, you talked about how brutal the current job market is, and the question asker from that episode had been unemployed for a year. I'm thankfully not there yet, but I recently lost my job in a large layoff, and the first couple of months of searching have been pretty discouraging. I'm applying to roughly 10–20 jobs a day. I tailor my resume to each role, ensuring it accurately reflects the skills and terminology in the job description. I usually include a cover letter too; AI gets the privilege of writing the mediocre first draft, and then I rewrite it into something I would actually say. Despite all of that, I've only made it past the resume screen three times so far, one of those was through a referral, and several other referral applications have gone nowhere. The strange part is that I've tried applying across the whole spectrum: Roles that would be a step up, where I think I could do the job but haven't held that exact title before Roles at roughly my current level, where I can honestly check almost every box in the job description Roles that would technically be a step down, but that I'd happily take and feel extremely confident I could do well So my question is: How do you get companies to actually interview you when you're an experienced engineer in a market overwhelmed with qualified candidates? At this point, I'm starting to wonder whether there's such a thing as an awkward career middle age: too experienced for some jobs, not obviously senior enough for others, and competing with hundreds of people for everything in between. If you were in this situation, what would you change? More networking? Fewer but more focused applications? Different positioning? Showing up at the hiring manager's house with a fruit basket and a printed copy of my GitHub profile? Would love to hear how you'd approach it from the other side of the hiring table. Dave and Jamison, Hit me with your dumbest, funniest, most brutally honest advice because I need it. So here's the deal: I'm a software engineer with 30+ year in the industry, a dinosaur who's already reinvented himself like a half-dozen times, network, dev, infra consultant, back to dev. Now I'm having a midlife-ish (okay, late-life) crisis and I've fallen in love with security and compliance. Like, actually excited about compliance, which I'm told is a red flag in itself. Problem is: I'm less than 10 years from retirement and my brain doesn't bounce back from “starting over” the way it used to when I was a spry young whippersnapper. So, am I an idiot for even considering torching my comfy expertise to go be a security newbie this close to the finish line? Or is this exactly the kind of chaotic energy I need before retirement?

Tiffany Vulcain grew up neglected by her parents, cycled through group homes and juvenile detention, spent her teenage years around gang life, and hit the streets on her own after turning 18 before a credit card scheme and the wrong group of people produced a five year federal prison sentence — and had to give birth in one of the most isolating and most institutionally indifferent environments available. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares what a childhood defined by neglect, group homes, and juvenile detention really produced before the streets found her, what the federal prison sentence that followed the credit card scheme actually looked like from the inside, and what being pregnant in federal prison and giving birth behind bars actually required of a woman who had spent her entire life fighting to survive systems that were never built to help her. _____________________________________________ #pregnancy #prison #truecrimestories #pregnant _____________________________________________ Connect with Tiffany Vulcain: https://www.instagram.com/tjvulcain/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Tiffany's Story 00:22 Early Life and Foster Care 01:18 Life in Jamaica vs. New York 02:10 Dysfunctional Home and Abuse 04:19 Running Away and Finding the Streets 06:11 Entering the Group Home 07:19 Freedom and Life of Crime Begins 09:40 Gang Involvement and Acceptance 10:46 Teenage Arrest and Juvenile Detention 13:13 Inside the Juvenile Facility 14:14 Returning Home and Foster Care Again 16:03 Aging Out and Exploitation 17:16 Escalating Crime and Credit Card Fraud 20:08 How the Fraud Worked 21:45 Facing the Victims 23:42 Self-Perception and Morality 24:42 Getting Caught in Virginia 27:59 The Federal Investigation 29:13 Turning Yourself In 31:28 The Plea Deal and Decision to Not Snitch 33:47 Estrangement from Family 34:15 Arrested Again While Pregnant 35:43 Experiencing Rikers Island 38:00 Sentencing and Lost Self-Surrender 40:08 Transport to MDC Brooklyn 41:40 The MINT Program and Women in MDC 43:57 Husband and Baby Plans 45:08 Giving Birth in Prison 53:16 Compassion vs. Desensitization 54:20 After Birth: Hospital and Advocacy 56:20 Baby in ICU and Special Permission 57:42 Leaving the Hospital Without Baby 01:00:42 Returning to Prison in Depression 01:02:02 Danbury Prison and Transition to Male Facility 01:04:12 Fight and Transfer to Philadelphia 01:07:23 The Shoe and Diesel Therapy 01:10:01 Flight with Chris Brown 01:11:42 Visits and Regret 01:12:24 Life in Philadelphia and Self-Discovery 01:14:00 Another Fight and Return to Brooklyn 01:15:20 Coming Home Without a Plan 01:16:00 Post-Prison Struggles and Betrayal 01:17:20 The Turning Point 01:19:20 Healing and Rebranding 01:20:14 Finding Purpose in Re-entry Work 01:22:51 Current Success and Roles 01:24:10 Message to Younger Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. Laura Michaelis interviews Drs. Joshua Hill and Jeffery Weitz on their latest articles published in Blood. Dr. Hill and Dr. Michaelis discuss the evolving landscape of infection risk in adults receiving bispecific antibody therapies for advanced B‑cell malignancies. They explore how these risks differ from those seen with allogeneic transplant, CAR T‑cell therapy, and traditional CD20‑directed antibodies, and touch on emerging approaches such as trispecific antibodies and evolving strategies for supportive care, including immunoglobulin replacement. In the second half of the episode, Dr. Michaelis is joined by Dr. Jeffrey Weitz to discuss new insights into the role of histidine‑rich glycoprotein in hemostasis. Their conversation delves into HRG's interactions with key platelet receptors, its behavior in inflammatory states like sepsis and COVID‑19, and how these observations may reshape thinking about thrombosis risk and future therapeutic approaches.Featured Articles: How I prevent infections in adults receiving bispecific antibody therapies for advanced B-cell malignancies | Joshua Hill, MDHistidine-rich glycoprotein modulates platelet adhesion and aggregation by binding to GPIbα and GPIIb/IIIa | Jeffery Weitz, MD

Metro Atlanta is growing quickly, adding more jobs and new development, but delivering housing in step with that growth is increasingly complex. Builders and developers must balance limited land availability, infrastructure constraints, rising costs and evolving buyer expectations while creating communities that work for both residents and local governments.  Myles Cardenas, senior land planning and development manager with Taylor Morrison, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to break down the forces shaping residential development across Metro Atlanta and what's ahead for the region's next phase of growth.  Growth Is Outpacing Infrastructure in Many Areas  As Metro Atlanta's population grows, local governments are working to align housing demand with existing infrastructure capacity. Roads, water and sewer networks, utility expansion timelines and stormwater systems all play a role in whether new development can move forward. In some cases, municipalities are slowing approvals or tightening development standards while they assess how much additional growth these systems can support.  “I don't think it's a shortage. I think it's more so of a slowdown,” Cardenas said.  That distinction is important. Land may be available, but development cannot proceed without the infrastructure and approvals needed to support it.  Housing is not the only demand on these systems. Large-scale commercial projects, including data centers and industrial development, also require significant infrastructure capacity, making long-term planning even more critical.  Infill and Redevelopment Are Key Housing Drivers  As large parcels become harder to find in established areas, older office buildings, outdated retail centers and underperforming commercial sites are increasingly being evaluated for residential or mixed-use redevelopment. These locations often have existing infrastructure and established communities nearby, creating opportunities to add housing in areas that already have jobs, services and amenities.  While these projects can help bring housing closer to established activity centers, they also require more creative planning. Developers must work within existing structures, infrastructure and site constraints rather than starting with a blank slate.  Stormwater Requirements Are Reshaping Site Design  One of the most influential and often underestimated factors in land development is stormwater management. Regulations and infrastructure requirements can significantly affect site layout, density and overall project costs.  Every added cost in land development ultimately affects home affordability. That reality is pushing developers to look for efficiencies earlier in the process by optimizing land use, refining site design and reducing unnecessary expenses wherever possible.  Finding those efficiencies can help developers make better use of available land while keeping the cost of new housing in focus.  No Single Housing Model Fits Every Market  Housing demand across Metro Atlanta is not uniform, and development strategies reflect that reality. Depending on location and market conditions, communities may include smaller lots, higher-density townhomes, larger homesites or mixed-use components.  Local regulations, infrastructure availability, land costs and buyer preferences all influence what gets built and where.  “I think everybody's really taking a look at what they do and understanding what they do best and trying to strategize land position from there,” Cardenas said.  That strategic approach is becoming increasingly important as builders determine where their products and expertise align with local demand.  Atlanta's Residential Growth is Moving in Multiple Directions  Metro Atlanta's next wave of residential growth is not concentrated in a single corridor. It is emerging in multiple directions as employment centers, infrastructure investment and land availability.  Southern communities such as South Fulton, Union City, Peachtree City and Newnan continue to attract attention as new jobs and master-planned communities take shape. At the same time, northern areas are seeing increased interest driven by data centers and other employment hubs.  Across both regions, the pattern remains consistent: Housing follows opportunity. Where jobs, infrastructure and amenities expand, residential development tends to follow, although the pace of that growth still depends heavily on infrastructure readiness.  Infrastructure Will Shape Atlanta's Future Growth  While land availability is important, infrastructure ultimately determines whether development can move forward at scale. Water, sewer, transportation networks and utilities all influence what is possible in a given area.  This makes coordination between developers and municipalities essential. Cities must plan infrastructure investment alongside expected growth, while developers must evaluate existing capacity before committing to projects.  The result is a more varied growth pattern across the region. Some areas may have available land but limited infrastructure, while others have infrastructure in place but fewer large development sites. Together, those conditions are creating opportunities for both greenfield and infill development.  Workforce Capacity Is a Core Industry Challenge  Beyond land and infrastructure, the construction industry faces another major constraint: workforce availability. Skilled professionals are needed across every stage of development, from planning and design to construction and long-term community management.  Cardenas recently earned his Georgia general contractor license through the Licensed Contractor Cohort, a program focused on expanding access to construction careers and licensing pathways.  “There just aren't enough young people that are getting into the industry fast enough to essentially take over the demand that's coming through the housing and construction industry,” Cardenas said.  The industry also extends far beyond field construction. Roles in architecture, engineering, design, marketing, insurance and technology all contribute to delivering housing at scale. Expanding awareness of these career paths will be critical to meeting future demand.  As Metro Atlanta continues to grow, the ability to develop land efficiently will be just one piece of the puzzle. Infrastructure, housing affordability and a strong construction workforce will all play a role in determining how the region grows.  To learn more about Atlanta residential growth and the trends shaping future communities, listen to the full episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.
