Send us Fan MailPreseason rankings feel nice until you realize you start playing the games and now you have to earn everything again. Denison University associate head coach and pitching coach Ryne Romick joins us to explain how a championship-level program keeps its edge, rebuilds identity, and stays hungry while on their way to a national  championship.We get specific on what actually plays for pitchers at the college level: why “strikes win” never stops being true, how fastball life and fastball command can make or break development, and why the best freshmen often help the team sooner by shrinking their role and ditching their ego. Ryne also pulls back the curtain on college baseball recruiting, including the reality that coaches may only see a short snapshot at a travel tournament, plus the intangibles that matter most when projecting who will thrive in a demanding program. We also go big-picture on Division I vs Division III baseball, the depth and experience differences, and why “fit” beats chasing labels. Ryan shares why strength training is the biggest readiness gap he sees when pitchers step on campus, and he gives an honest take on the sacrifice and family support required to coach at a high level. If you coach, play, or parent a pitcher, you'll leave with clearer recruiting priorities and a more grounded plan for getting better. Subscribe for the rest of our champions series, share this with a coach or player who needs it, and please leave a review and rating so more baseball coaches can find the show.Support the showFollow:  X | @BCUPod / IG @baseballcoachesunplugged Website - https://www.athlete1.netSponsor: The Netting Professionalshttps://www.nettingpros.com

Continuing our latest series, “I'm not getting older, I'm getting better.” As someone who is now an older millennial, I am now faced with the idea of “getting older” especially after turning 40 last year. So, I decided to sit down with some of my peers who are also “over the hill” or close to it. People who are still going after their passions and refuse to let this thing called age hold them back.This week's guest is Lewis Ryne. He is a film maker in the Quad Cities and has a burning love for cinema. And according to him, he's just getting started! So, let's get to it and let's dive into this and break down that barrier that may be holding us back. Because we're not getting older, we're getting better!

Anyone who uses Hogan's personality assessments or listens to this podcast knows that identifying effective leaders is at the core of what we do at Hogan. The study, which compares personality assessment data from over 21,000 executives in Hogan's global database with survey responses from nearly 10,000 full-time employees across more than 120 markets, revealed some really incredible insights, including a striking disconnect between the characteristics executives display and the qualities employees say define effective leadership. Krista and Nicole were two of the key people to get this study off the ground, and they join us in this episode to discuss the findings now that the results are in. The Leadership Divide: Global Insights on Who Leads vs. Who Should

As artificial intelligence becomes more embedded in everyday work, a new concern is emerging: are we becoming overly reliant on it? In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by Dr. Ryne Sherman, Chief Science Officer at Hogan Assessments, to explore the concept of the “AI zombie” — and what it could mean for the future of work. The conversation examines how increasing dependence on AI tools may be reducing critical thinking, decision-making, and cognitive engagement in the workplace. Ryne explains that while AI offers clear productivity benefits, there is a growing risk that employees may begin to “switch off” mentally, delegating too much responsibility to technology. Mary highlights real-world examples of AI misuse, including legal cases where individuals relied on AI-generated information without verifying its accuracy. Together, the panel explores how these behaviours could translate into organisational risks — from poor decision-making to reduced capability development. A central theme throughout the discussion is balance: AI should act as a co-pilot, not an autopilot. The episode emphasises the importance of maintaining human judgment, curiosity, and critical thinking, even as AI becomes more advanced and accessible. The discussion also explores leadership, learning, and organisational responsibility — highlighting how HR leaders must ensure that technology enhances, rather than replaces, essential human skills. Guest • Dr. Ryne Sherman — Chief Science Officer, Hogan Assessments Topics include: • What the term “AI zombie” means and why it's gaining attention • The concept of AI as a “co-pilot” vs “autopilot” • The impact of AI on cognitive ability and critical thinking • Risks in areas like hiring, performance management, and leadership decisions • Lessons from past technological shifts (internet, automation) • Why leadership fundamentals remain unchanged despite AI • The role of HR in managing AI adoption responsibly • Training challenges and the limitations of passive learning systems • The growing importance of creativity, reasoning, and adaptability Key Takeaways for HR Leaders • AI should enhance human capability — not replace critical thinking. • Over-reliance on AI can lead to reduced cognitive skills and poorer decisions. • Strong communication skills are essential for effective AI use. • Curiosity and continuous learning are key traits in an AI-driven workplace. • Leadership fundamentals (integrity, judgment, expertise) remain unchanged. • AI can improve productivity — but may also degrade performance if misused. • HR must actively guide how AI is used within organisations. • Training should focus on critical thinking and responsible AI use. • Passive learning approaches (e.g. LMS-only training) are insufficient. • Human skills — empathy, judgment, communication — are more valuable than ever. • Organisations must guard against “skill atrophy” over time. • The real risk isn't automation — it's abdication of responsibility.

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by world-renowned author and journalist, Jack El-Hai, to discuss the personality of evil, with a specific focus on the personalities of authoritarians and fascists. This was the focus of his best-selling 2013 book, The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, which inspired the 2025 movie, Nuremberg, currently streaming on Netflix, which features not one, but two Academy Award winning actors. In the movie Russell Crowe plays the part of Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring and Rami Malek plays the role of Douglas Kelley, the US Army psychiatrist assigned to evaluate the personalities and mental capacities of high-ranking Nazis leading up to the Nuremberg trials. Again, this was all inspired by Jack's book which Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King describes as “a harrowing narrative that brilliantly probes the depths of evil.” So, that begs the question: What is the personality of evil? Buy the Book: The Nazi and the Psychiatrist
