When it comes to working in military intelligence, strong leadership skills and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure are key. Just as important to a mission's success is being a good team player.Those were the lessons and skills Chris Stillwell '24 carried into his two career pivots after his time working as a military intelligence officer for the U.S. Army. His first pivot landed him a role at Kearney in Dubai focusing on M&A integration and strategy consulting. Chris then decided to pursue an MBA at Rice Business to sharpen his financial skills and pivot once again into the world of investment banking. Now an investment banking associate at Bank of America, Chris joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss his military experience, why he chose Rice, how the program helped him make a major career transition, and his advice to those considering an MBA to pursue new career opportunities. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Chris Stillwell01:03 Military Intelligence: Separating Fact From Fiction02:15 Roles and Responsibilities in the Army03:08 Leadership and Decision Making in High-Pressure Situations08:07 From Military to Consulting09:49 Living Abroad: Challenges and Cultural Insights15:02 Transitioning to an MBA at Rice University18:13 Involvement and Networking at Rice20:56 Entering Investment Banking: Preparation and Challenges25:37 Day-to-Day in Investment Banking28:46 Advice for Career Pivoters and VeteransThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:The moment Chris realized that Rice gave him an edge over his peers[20:48] Brian: Going into investment banking, was there, like, now an elevated sense of confidence of, Okay, I've done this before; I'll do it again?[20:56] Chris: Maybe some blind confidence sometimes. Yeah, you could even ask my parents. I went home for like four days for the Christmas break the year I was recruiting. And I was studying flashcards with my mom of all the IB 400 questions. And I was like, “I'm not going to get a job. You know, like all these people around me are much smarter than me. There's a really—we've got a really talented pool of candidates that are recruiting this year.” But you know, I felt like at the end of the day, the Finance Association and Rice, just the classes I took, really prepared me to understand the basics of finance, the basics that are expected of the interview process. And then, going forward, I saw when I started as an intern at the bank, I went to New York for a week…We were training with all these people from all these different schools, going to all these different groups in the bank, and some people didn't even know what a DCF was or didn't know how to do it that well, I should say. We were doing some practice problems, and I was like, “Wow, we're actually far ahead of a lot of these other schools and people.” So that was kind of good to see that Rice really put an effort into training us up. What Chris learned about leadership through three career pivots[30:15] There are certain people who can be leaders and are very good at being leaders. But being a good leader in the military might not translate to being a good leader at banking. And a lot of times you actually see that, or you see military officers leave the military and go into the corporate world and not be as successful. Because I really think you do need to tailor your leadership style to the one the industry you're working in, and two, the people you're working with, you know, different ways of operating motivate people differently. Like in the military, you could yell at somebody and hold them to a higher standard and maybe they'll do it. But if you yelled at somebody like, you know, a marketing job, they probably would shut down and that'd be the end of it. It really doesn't work the same. The leadership style is something that you have to adjust to the area you're working in.On how his military experience strengthened his teamwork skills[04:03] In the military, you are a leader, but you learn how to be a good follower as well. And I think what you do with that is that you are able to have great teamwork. You're able, like in my current job now, I have an analyst underneath me, but I have people like VPs and MDs above me and I can understand what their intent is and what we need to get accomplished in our day-to-day job, but also articulate to the people below me, Hey, this is the intent and this is how we do it. So it's kind of been very helpful in those soft skills.On how Rice gave him the academic foundation he needed[16:49] My reasons for going to Rice were great, but once I got there, I appreciated it a lot more. I really got exposed to, I mean, I was looking for some things like smaller classrooms for example. Like a lot of people we hire from Kearney were from Yale or HBS, and their class size was like a thousand people. And maybe you didn't have a lot of rigor in terms of academics. I think Rice, especially in the first term, really forces you to go to classes to do your homework, to learn the materials. And that was attractive to me as well, because I didn't come from a finance background at all. So I didn't even know what a DCF was before I came to Rice. So I was very grateful at that, you know, getting to Rice and realizing that it was such a good platform to be integrated into.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Chris Stillwell | LinkedIn

Every year, 12 million tons of architectural glass from skyscrapers and office buildings ends up in landfills. Even though you diligently put your glass bottles in the recycling bin, only 30% of collected glass actually gets recycled back into glass.Sydney Mainster, VP of Sustainability at The Durst Organization, is on a mission to change that. After watching hundreds of tons of perfectly recyclable glass from a 40-story building go to waste, she pioneered a partnership to recycle skyscraper windows across New York City.In this episode, Sydney and David Entwistle (Director of Major Projects at Saint-Gobain Glass) reveal:- Why glass is the ONLY material recyclers lose money on- The hidden contamination problem that shuts down $40M furnaces- How "sneaky sustainability" is making glass recycling standard practice- Why interior office glass is the secret to scaling this solution- The roadblocks preventing this from going nationalSydney and David are completely reimagining how we handle one of our most valuable building materials.

This week on RulaskaThoughts, Joe and Robert unpack RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 3 — an installment that inspires far more commentary about the state of the franchise than about the challenge itself. Along the way, they detour through internet discourse, celebrity behavior, and why Drag Race increasingly feels like a legacy show coasting on goodwill rather than innovation. Joe opens by apologizing — not for the episode, but for how little the episode itself deserves attention. Both agree RDR Live wasn't actively painful, but also wasn't good — merely another in a long line of mediocre acting challenges. Juicy Love Dion wins for fully disappearing into character, even if she wasn't the funniest. Athena Love Dion's hosting performance sparks disagreement: Joe finds it serviceable and thankless, while Robert reads visible nervousness and lack of authority. Mandy Mango's critiques reignite the recurring Drag Race issue: queens being punished for doing exactly what's written in the script. The lip-sync song choice is widely panned as fundamentally ill-suited for a “lip-sync for your life,” regardless of who technically won. Joe lays out what he sees as a pattern of soft bullying toward Athena across multiple episodes. Evidence cited: Repeated exclusion from team selection Roles being denied without discussion or competition Other queens weaponizing “you should want this” logic against her Age-based digs becoming an easy, recurring punchline Joe questions why Athena is treated as the default host when other queens (notably Jane Doe) have equivalent hosting credentials. Briar Blush is positioned as a key instigator, particularly in steering Athena toward roles designed to undermine her. Robert counters that Athena may unintentionally fuel the dynamic through visible frustration and exaggerated reactions, making herself an easy target. Both acknowledge the possibility that off-camera behavior may be influencing how the cast responds — but stress that the edit has not justified the treatment so far. Joe argues the problem is not the cast, but entrenched production leadership. Drag Race is compared to Saturday Night Live: Long-running, culturally important Run by aging leadership increasingly out of sync with audience taste Resistant to structural change Discussion of why Drag Race scripts remain weak despite access to: UCB Groundlings Queer comedy writers who could elevate the material with minimal investment The absence of meme culture is flagged as a major warning sign — Drag Race no longer drives online conversation the way it once did. Alaska's recent comments about drag queens no longer releasing music are cited as another indicator that the franchise has lost its grip on the “gay dollar.” Joe dismantles the argument that Drag Race is “too hard to find,” noting it has always lived on basic cable. The real issue, both agree, is diminishing reward — viewers don't feel like they're missing a cultural moment anymore. Unlike earlier eras, skipping an episode now carries no social consequence. Next week's runway mash-up challenge is previewed with skepticism — familiar concepts repackaged yet again. The upcoming talent show inspires preemptive dread over self-serious spoken-word tracks and faux-quirky personas. Joe predicts certain queens are currently protected by “filler eliminations” — but their time is coming. This episode of RulaskaThoughts becomes less about RDR Live and more about Drag Race's identity crisis: a once-vital franchise struggling under the weight of its own longevity. While Joe and Robert still clearly care — and still watch — the conversation makes clear that love has shifted from excitement to obligation, and from celebration to critique.

Robert Blake was a former child actor and tough-talking TV cop. He was also a tough customer. He talked like a mobster, lived like a cowboy, and was intimately familiar with the rougher side of life. That rough side of life caught up with him in 2001, when he was charged with murder when his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, was found shot dead in the front seat of Blake's Dodge Stealth. Depending on who you talk to, Robert Blake was either rightfully acquitted…or managed to escape justice. This episode was originally published on December 20, 2023.

In this week's conversation, I'm continuing the thread from last week's breakthrough and slowing it down even further. We're talking about the roles we play and how easily they become identities. The good friend. The steady one. The caretaker. The one who holds it all together. Roles that once felt loving or necessary can quietly become places we get stuck, especially when we stop asking whether they still fit.This episode is an invitation to notice where you've been living on autopilot, confusing who you are with what you've always done. We explore what it means to gently loosen these roles, to be seen as your true self, and to allow this season of wintering to support release rather than constant effort. If you've been feeling tired, unseen, or quietly stretched thin, this conversation is for you.Wild Minds Apple - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wild-minds-manifest-daily/id1598957508Wild Minds Google - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wildminds_front&pcampaignid=web_shareThe Manifestation Portal - https://mollylovesmornings.substack.comInstagram - @mollylovesmornings | @wildmindsmanifest

In this episode, Paul Andrews dives into one of the most common mistakes guitarists make when jamming: the belief that you need to be soloing all the time. Whether you're jamming with others or with a backing track at home, understanding and embracing your role in the music is what truly elevates the experience.Key Topics Covered:The Three Essential Roles in a Jam:Timekeeper:The backbone of any jam.Provides solid rhythm, groove, and consistency.Not just for beginners—crucial for all musicians.Steady chord strumming or repeating simple riffs anchors the music.Supporter:The glue that holds the jam together.Adds chord changes, small fills, dynamic shifts, and textures.Reacts to others, listens, and creates space—often less noticed but vital.Speaker:The lead voice: melodies, solos, and musical statements.What most think of when they imagine jamming, but shouldn't be everyone's focus at once.Works best when time and support roles are present.How Jams Fall Apart:When everyone tries to be the speaker at once, musical communication breaks down.Practical Jam Challenge:Put on a simple backing track and deliberately cycle through each role:Focus on timekeeping for one minute.Shift to supporting, adding fills or dynamic changes.Become the speaker—play a short, clear musical phrase.Repeat the cycle or reflect on which role felt most natural.Use this as a roadmap for structured practice rather than just noodling.Empowering Beginners:You don't need to solo to belong in a jam.Solid timing and support skills mean you're already playing like a musician.Action Steps:Try the four-step jam practice outlined byPaul AndrewsReflect after each jam on which role you found easiest or most challenging.

AI has moved from pilot projects to boardroom urgency. Companies feel the pressure to act, hire, and keep up. Many start with tools or chase a single unicorn hire. Chris Morrow, Founder of Digitalent, explains why this approach fails and why the real battle is for people who can drive transformation, culture change and long-term value. In this episode, Chris draws on two decades of experience in tech recruitment and his work with VC-backed startups, global enterprises, and governments. He breaks down why AI hiring is unlike any previous talent cycle. Roles are ill-defined, expectations are inflated, and the best candidates command eye-watering compensation, especially in the US. He describes the AI talent market as an arms race, with startups, big tech and even nations competing for the same small pool of elite engineers and researchers. The conversation goes beyond salaries and job titles. Chris shares what AI-ready companies do differently, why small proof-point projects matter more than grand 18-month programmes and how misuse of AI can kill belief internally before value is ever realised. The episode also explores the global picture. The US surge in AI investment and talent density. The UK experiences brain drain and risk-averse capital. Australia's early-stage market. Chris offers a blunt assessment of government readiness, education systems and why countries that fail to treat AI as a productivity and talent priority will fall behind. This is the ultimate episode on the AI talent war, covering what companies should fix before hiring, which roles actually matter, how the best teams are built, and why the next decade will reward organisations that treat AI as a people-and-change challenge first and a technology problem second.

As artificial intelligence accelerates, many leaders, founders, and professionals are quietly asking the same question: Where do I still matter? If machines can write, analyze, summarize, and even "sound" human, what is left that cannot be automated? In this episode of On the Brink, I sat down with branding strategist and neuroscientist-turned-entrepreneur Carey James, co-founder of Brand Alchemy, to explore why a personal brand—not technology—is becoming the defining asset of the future. What emerged was a powerful reframing of branding—not as self-promotion, but as survival. Branding Isn't About Visibility—It's About Trust Carey's journey began in neuroscience labs and academic research, where brilliant minds often remain invisible. In these labs, the work mattered deeply, yet few people beyond their field ever heard about it. That disconnect led him to a simple realization: impact doesn't scale unless people know who you are. Branding, in Carey's view, is not about being flashy or loud. It is about becoming trustable at scale. Human beings evolved to live in tribes. We trusted the hunter, the healer, the builder—not because of logos or résumés, but because we knew who they were. That same ancient wiring still governs modern decision-making. Whether we are choosing a consultant, an executive hire, a keynote speaker, or a company to invest in, the first question is rarely "Is this organization impressive?" It is almost always: Do I trust this person? Your Name Is the Asset—Not the Logo One of Carey's most important insights is deceptively simple: your personal name is likely the most valuable asset you will ever own. Companies come and go. Products evolve. Roles change. But trust attached to your name transfers from project to project. This is why serial entrepreneurs can fail, pivot, and succeed again—while others disappear after one setback. In the age of AI, this becomes even more critical. You will not always be the smartest voice in the room. Algorithms already out-compute us. What they cannot replicate, however, is your lived experience, judgment, pattern recognition, and imperfections. Those human elements—your way of thinking, questioning, connecting ideas—are what create differentiation. The "Label on the Bottle" Problem Most people struggle to articulate their own brand because they are trapped inside it. Carey calls this the label-on-the-bottle syndrome: when you are inside the bottle, you cannot see the label. The solution is not more introspection—it is perspective. Carey encourages leaders to do what great organizations already do through 360-degree reviews: ask others how they experience you. Patterns emerge quickly. Strengths, quirks, values, and stories surface that feel obvious to everyone else—but invisible to you. This external clarity becomes the foundation of an authentic brand, not a manufactured one.

Episode 162 — Advantage Arsenal: Narrow First Leg Win After a Dominant Performance at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup Semi-FinalThe boys are back as Gav, Ells and special guest JJ react to Arsenal's first-leg victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup semi-final — a night that delivered control, chances, and a narrow advantage that perhaps didn't reflect the balance of play.The discussion begins with Arsenal's approach to the tie, including selection choices, goalkeeper debate, and how the team set the tone early. With Arsenal dominating large stretches of the first half, the panel explore why a strong performance failed to translate into a more commanding scoreline, touching on chance creation, shot selection, and decision-making in key moments.There's detailed analysis of Arsenal's midfield structure and evolving roles, including how balance, chemistry, and positioning continue to develop as personnel return from injury. The conversation also examines set-piece execution, attacking movement, and what different striker profiles bring to Arsenal's play — particularly in moments where control needs to become separation.Defensively, the episode breaks down the goals conceded, game management in knockout football, and how small errors can shift momentum even during dominant spells. Goalkeeper involvement, box control, and recovery actions are all discussed as Arsenal once again navigate fine margins in a semi-final setting.In the second half, focus turns forward. The panel preview Arsenal's upcoming trip to Nottingham Forest, discussing defensive availability, workload management, and how Arsenal should approach a fixture shaped as much by desperation as quality. There's also discussion around key Premier League matches elsewhere, including the Manchester derby and Tottenham vs West Ham, and what those results could mean in the wider title picture.The episode closes with the Who Am I? game, featuring a former Arsenal forward whose career took him across Europe — and prompts a few nostalgic reflections along the way.A first-leg advantage secured, questions still to answer, and a season entering a defining stretch.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:50) - Chelsea Semi-Final Context & Selection Decisions(02:35) - Goalkeeper Debate: Structure, Crosses & Build-Up Play(04:20) - Fast Start & Early Pressure at Stamford Bridge(05:06) - 0-1 | Set-Piece Breakthrough and Corner Execution(07:12) - Missed Chances & Shot Selection Frustrations(11:41) - Midfield Balance, Roles & Chemistry Questions(16:49) - First-Half Control Without Separation(18:12) - 0-2 | Gyökeres Finish and Box Presence(21:11) - Attacking Relationships & Service to the Striker(23:15) - 1-2 | Momentum Shift & Defensive Breakdown(26:13) - Garnacho's Face / Most Disliked Players(27:40) - 1-3 | Zubimendi's Goal and Game Control(29:16) - Refereeing, Game Management & Discipline(31:04) - Missed Chances to Kill the Tie(31:44) - 2-3 | Late Goal Conceded & Narrow First-Leg Margin(33:55) - Full-Time Reflection, Stats & First-Leg Takeaways(37:22) - PT.2 Who Am I?

A stranger's comment at a dinner table sparked a bigger question: who taught us that covenant and kids are obstacles, not gifts? We walk through Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 to recover a vision of marriage and family that pushes against the “live your life first” script, without shaming those whose paths differ. Then we hold up the mirror for men—self-control and integrity should shape our conduct in public as much as in private. If our sons see adults raging from the bleachers, what do they learn about strength and restraint?We head into Matthew 13 and let Jesus's parables set our priorities. The weeds among the wheat warn us against impatient crusades that uproot the good with the bad. The mustard seed and the yeast reveal how the smallest act of faith can shelter many and permeate a culture. The treasure in the field and the pearl of great price confront our halfhearted bargaining with God: the kingdom is worth everything, so why do we offer so little?Psalm 18 and Proverbs 4 give us the language and posture of courage. God thunders, rescues, and teaches; wisdom guards those who guard it. We honor that ethos with a Medal of Honor moment—Amos Bradley holding the wheel under fire—and a bracing excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt's “The Hun Within Our Gates,” a reminder that nations corrode from within when leaders ignore sedition and citizens shrug at virtue. Faith, family, and civic duty are not competing loyalties; they are a braided cord. Listen for a frank, scripture-rooted conversation about marriage, manhood, moral clarity, and the quiet power of small, faithful choices that grow into shelter for many.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review—your notes help more listeners find these conversations.#AmericanHistory #DailyScripture #TheodoreRoosevelt Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe Countryside Book Series https://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

In this episode, we sit down with Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge and author of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. We talk about a powerful idea Larry calls “the drift”—how men can slowly lose focus in their roles as husbands and fathers without even realizing it. Larry shares how to interrupt that drift and become more intentional at home, strengthen your marriage, and build deeper connections with your kids. We also dive into practical habits, mindset shifts, and simple actions dads can take right now to create a more fulfilling family life. If you're a husband or father who wants to show up better for the people who matter most, this conversation is for you. Chapters

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

From bourbon and cigars to business, fitness, and relationships, we get into what consistency actually looks like when life gets busy. We talk about identity vs “New Year, New Me,” why motivation fades, how burnout really happens, and why stacking small wins beats going all-in for 30 days and quitting. No highlight-reel advice—just real perspective on building habits, discipline, and a life that actually lasts.----00:00 - Guest Introduction and Warm-up01:51 - Brock's Elevator Pitch and Personal Background02:36 - Family, Relationships, and Daily Routines05:39 - New Year Reset and 2026 Goals06:18 - Consistency and Personal Development08:53 - Identity Shift and Consistency Practices10:54 - Asking for Help and Gratitude12:26 - Fitness, Business Discipline, and Identity14:46 - Work-Life Balance and Personal Reflections16:41 - Regret, Relationships, and Personal Growth18:37 - Dreams, Gratitude, and Lifestyle21:06 - Sales Strategies and Business Insights22:24 - Marketing Consistency and Personal Discipline24:45 - Consistency Struggles and Personal Accountability27:28 - Ego, Gratitude, and Personal Growth30:13 - Fitness Challenges and Motivation31:46 - Value in Relationships and Work33:53 - Comparisons and Life Reflections36:09 - Helping Others and Seeking Support37:34 - Leadership, Roles, and Team Dynamics40:00 - Podcast Authenticity and Personal Authenticity41:53 - Gratitude and Daily Reflections43:30 - Burnout and Work Challenges45:13 - Personal Struggles and Support46:49 - Help and Business Mentorship49:40 - Life Purpose and Future Outlook51:32 - Ego and Personal Development53:32 - Sales Mindset and Personal Stories56:31 - Relationships and Value Perception58:21 - Leadership Challenges and Business Pressure60:03 - Regret and Personal History61:30 - Life Pyramid and Personal Evolution64:10 - Confidence and Personal Insight64:56 - Imposter Syndrome and Vulnerability66:30 - Gratitude and Audience Connection67:36 - Personal Reflections and Future Plans68:41 - Future Outlook and Takeaways69:14 - Closing Remarks and Call to Action70:18 - Next Steps and Community Engagement71:30 - Networking and Community Building73:28 - Offering Help and Community Support74:47 - Gratitude and Personal Journey77:10 - Reflection on Success and Growth79:27 - Values and Life Balance82:54 - Gratitude and Support85:40 - Advice and Guidance87:04 - Personal Stories and Future Vision89:02 - Leadership and Organizational Insight90:33 - Challenges and Workload91:41 - Lifestyle Choices and Reflections93:57 - Closing Wrap-up, Takeaways, and Final Thoughts96:04 - Final Reflections and Future Plans98:42 - Personal Growth and Identity102:04 - Family and Gratitude104:45 - Self-Reflection and Regrets107:23 - Life Pyramid and Status109:59 - Support and Community111:45 - Final Call to Action113:29 - Offering Help and Networking114:33 - Final Remarks and Outro115:49 - Outro and Contact Information----Follow Us Here! Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mossmarketinggroup/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/MossMarketingGroupWebsite -  https://www.mossmarketinggroup.com/#Marketing #Business #Podcast

The recent acquisition of Small Biz Thoughts and IT Service Provider University by MSP Radio marks a significant shift in the landscape of resources available to Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This acquisition aims to ensure the continued stewardship of valuable intellectual property, including books and community resources, while allowing founder Karl Palachuk to refocus on his original goals of writing, speaking, and traveling. The deal emphasizes the importance of maintaining community engagement and enhancing the value of existing assets for the benefit of MSPs.Karl Palachuk discussed the filters he applied when selecting a buyer, prioritizing compatibility and the potential for growth within the community. He expressed a desire for the new ownership to actively utilize the acquired assets to foster a thriving environment rather than allowing them to stagnate. The conversation highlighted the importance of community in the tech industry, where collaboration and shared knowledge have historically driven success.In addition to the acquisition, the episode touched on the evolving role of AI in the MSP sector. Palachuk noted that while AI is set to enhance productivity, it will also necessitate a shift in the skills required for technicians and service providers. The discussion underscored the need for MSPs to adapt to these changes, as the industry faces a wave of mergers and acquisitions that could reshape service delivery models.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the implications of these developments are clear. The acquisition represents an opportunity to access a wealth of resources and knowledge while navigating the challenges posed by AI and market consolidation. Engaging with the Small Biz Thoughts community can provide valuable insights and support as MSPs work to enhance their service offerings and adapt to the changing landscape of technology and client needs.

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for rotation management tools, playing time tracking resources, and strategic frameworks that help you make decisive lineup decisions while maintaining team chemistry and player buy-in throughout the season. In this episode, we dive into one of the most consequential yet anxiety-inducing responsibilities every basketball coach faces: establishing clear player roles and building rotations that maximize your team's competitive advantage while keeping everyone engaged and accountable. This isn't just about deciding who starts and who comes off the bench—it's about communicating expectations clearly, matching roles to player strengths, managing egos and emotions, and having the courage to make tough decisions that serve the team's success over individual feelings. We explore the foundational work required before you ever set a rotation: honest evaluation of each player's skills, basketball IQ, defensive capability, and mental makeup, then determining what roles your team needs filled—primary scorer, secondary ball handler, defensive stopper, rebounder, shooter, energy guy off the bench. You'll learn how to communicate roles to players in ways that build ownership rather than resentment, why role clarity actually increases player satisfaction even for bench players, and how to create competition for minutes that elevates practice intensity without destroying team culture. We discuss specific rotation strategies: how many players should be in your main rotation, when to shorten your bench in critical games, how to get bench players meaningful minutes without sacrificing competitiveness, and managing the balance between rewarding practice performers versus leaning on proven game performers. This episode provides frameworks for the difficult decisions that define your season: when to demote a struggling starter, how to handle the senior who's being outplayed by an underclassman, managing playing time expectations with parents who think their child deserves more minutes, and making in-game adjustments when your planned rotation isn't working. We also address common mistakes coaches make—rotating too many players inconsistently, failing to communicate role changes proactively, or letting politics influence playing time decisions. Whether you're a first-year coach establishing your rotation philosophy or a veteran looking to be more strategic about maximizing your roster's potential, you'll gain practical tools to make confident decisions about roles and rotations that help your team win while maintaining the respect and trust of every player in your program. basketball rotations coaching, player roles basketball, rotation management basketball, playing time decisions, basketball lineup strategy, bench management basketball, starter vs bench players, basketball rotation philosophy, defining player roles, playing time communication, basketball substitution patterns, rotation strategy coaching, basketball role clarity, managing playing time, basketball lineup decisions, rotation depth basketball, bench player motivation, basketball role assignment, playing time expectations, rotation adjustments basketball, basketball substitution coaching, player role communication, competitive rotations basketball, basketball minutes distribution, rotation evaluation basketball, starting lineup decisions, basketball role definition, playing time management, Wisconsin basketball rotations, high school rotation strategy SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

Podcast Show OverviewIn this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra welcomes back Julie Peck—a seasoned tech and growth executive and current CEO of Talent Neuron, a global leader in workforce intelligence. Returning after a powerful first conversation (“The Gift of the Curvy Path”), Julie brings both lived experience and a front-row seat to how AI is reshaping work, leadership, and the talent market.The conversation opens with the show's signature gratitude thread: Julie re-centers her enduring gratitude for her mother—an “anchor” figure defined by generosity, steadiness, and wisdom. From there, the episode expands into a bigger thesis: we're moving from a knowledge economy (being paid to “know”) to a wisdom economy (being valued for discernment, context, ethics, and humanity), right as AI accelerates technical capability faster than society's ability to govern it wisely.Julie explains what she's seeing in real time—from the lightning-fast evolution of “prompt engineering” (job → skill → everywhere) to the rise of AI agents, “managers of agents,” and even early signals around digital twins / digital clones. The discussion is both exciting and sobering: the future isn't just humans using tools—it's organizations learning to coordinate human employees + virtual workers while wrestling with ownership, ethics, and identity.They land the plane with an antidote: in a world speeding up, the advantage is learning to reclaim your humanity—through presence, boundaries, real conversation, and the ancient technology of the dinner table. Chris frames it as “slow food and fast cars” (Emilia-Romagna) and the “AND, not OR” mindset: use AI to amplify impact and protect what makes life meaningful. Key TakeawaysWe're shifting from “knowing” to “discerning.” AI can produce answers; humans are needed for wisdom, ethics, and context. The pace is the story. Roles like “prompt engineer” moved from nonexistent → hot → embedded in everything in about a year. Soft skills are becoming the real differentiator. Adaptability, learning agility, collaboration, and communication are what survive a fluid world. Digital cloning raises ownership questions. If your work footprint trains a “you,” who owns it—you or your employer/platform? Reclaim humanity through designed friction. Put the phone down, limit your digital exhaust, and build anchor points (like dinners) where real presence returns. Memorable QuotesJulie Peck: “I call that reclaiming your humanity.” Chris Schembra: “The dinner table is truly the last thing that AI can get to.” Julie Peck: “The technical capabilities of AI are evolving far faster than the world's ability to be wise about how we build it and interact with it.” Julie Peck: “Put the phone down and talk to each other and actually look each other in the eyes.” Julie Peck: “If you're standing at Lake Geneva and you're looking at the Alps, don't try and take a picture of it. Just look at it.” Chris Schembra: “We're living through the collapse of the knowledge economy… What if we've been playing the wrong game all along?” Julie Peck: “We don't understand the rules of the game… and we're unprepared for it.”
