Ryan Muckenhirn of Vortex Optics is back and we discuss two very different 30-caliber hunting setups. First up is the load that might raise a few eyebrows, but is also incredibly effective: a 308 Winchester firing Barnes' 130-grain TTSX. Ryan runs it in a 4-pound-13-ounce Kimber Mountain Ascent and that combination is a flat shooting, 400 yard and in load that delivers devastating terminal performance and still carries like a mountain gun with moderate recoil. Then we jump to the other end of the spectrum: the "300 Super WSM," a SAMMI-chamber 300 WSM built around Barnes' 212-grain LRX bore-rider. G1 BC around .705, 1:8 twist, long-action magazine, advertised 2,800 fps. We discuss the purpose that unusual cartridge serves and Ryan shares a few stories of how it performed afield on Idaho black bear and on a West Texas aoudad cull hunt where he really got to wring out that cartridge at various ranges out to around 800 yards and on multiple animals. If you hunt with a 308, load copper, or just like Ryan from the Vortex Nation, this one is worth the full run.

This week, Ashley, Sammi, and Dan dive into the wonderfully weird and chaotic world of Pixar's newest sci-fi comedy adventure, "Hoppers." After a string of sequels, they are thrilled to see Pixar return to its roots with a highly original story about a teenager who uses stolen "hopping" technology to transfer her consciousness into a robotic beaver. They cover everything from the heartwarming dynamic between Mabel and her grandmother to the absolute absurdity of the animal kingdom rising up against Mayor Jerry.

Today we tackle the world's biggest silent killer, hypertension, and explore how 22 years of research is transforming blood pressure monitoring from an occasional cuff squeeze into continuous, wearable insight. Sammi heads to Lausanne, Switzerland to sit down with Josep Solà, co-founder and CTO of Aktiia, the company behind Hilo, the world's first cuffless blood pressure monitoring bracelet.Josep shares the personal family story that sparked his journey and explains why hypertension is called the silent killer; responsible for 10 million deaths annually, with nearly half of those affected completely unaware. He breaks down the limitations of traditional cuff-based monitoring, from the white coat effect to patient non-compliance, and reveals the optical sensor technology and AI models that power Hilo's continuous, cuffless readings.Going deep on the science, they discuss the 22 years of research, 100+ scientific papers and 14 patents behind the technology, how the device captures up to 800 readings per month, and the striking data showing that app engagement directly correlates with blood pressure reduction. Josep explains where Hilo sits at the intersection of MedTech, wearables and longevity, how consumer demand is driving clinical adoption, and the company's recent US launch and NHS pilot ambitions.Plus there's a look at what's next for Hilo; from screening tools for the masses to Joseph's dream of a global reduction in hypertension-related deaths by 2050.

Welcome back! It's September, it's time to lock in for the last part of the year, and so naturally Adrienne, Oli & Sammi are back for a new season of the Modern Wellness Podcast… Season 8!But the good news stops there. We start the series looking at the latest government announcements, advising the nation to get prepped for an emergency. How would you prepare for an emergency? How would you cope? And what about your relatives, friends, neighbours and colleagues?These are the questions the government wants people to ask themselves, as emergency planners warn of growing threats from heatwaves and flooding, as well as potential cyber attacks by hostile states that could cripple vital energy infrastructure. And from a wellness perspective - how much have you thought about this? Are you stocked up? Have you tried a trial run? And do you have a well? Next up, we look at the dramatic financial news that Nike exited the S&P 100 Index on September 21, 2026, ending an 18-year run due to a dramatic drop in market capitalisation. But what really has happened to get the company to this stage? What does thew market look like now? And what should Nike do next? And finally, in trending we're talking about Flu Camp. Getting paid (thousands of pounds) to take time off work sure sounds good, and ten days alone was certainly tempting during the school holidays but what do our hosts make of it? Hosted on Acast.

Finding Your People in a New Building Guest: Samantha "Sammi" Katschke In this episode, Dr. Beth and Dr. Anna present Samantha "Sammi" Katschke, district band director and music teacher at Chadwick-Milledgeville, about a challenge new teachers rarely get warned about: loneliness. You can know your content cold and still walk into a building unsure of who to turn to when a lesson falls apart or a day feels like too much. Sammi lays out where that support actually comes from, and how to build it on purpose. In this episode: Why new teachers can feel isolated even surrounded by colleagues, and why nobody hands you a map for who to ask Staying connected to your undergraduate cohort, and why those relationships often become your first call when a lesson fails What formal mentorship programs are actually for: gradebooks, technology systems, and the daily operational questions nobody else has time to answer Why proximity matters: building relationships with the teacher next door or the colleague who shares your prep period The case for face-to-face connection over purely online ones, and why some conversations need someone across a table Building a network beyond your building: connecting with teachers in the same role across other schools and districts for repertoire, ideas, and perspective The friendships from outside education that Sammi undervalued in college and now counts on Staying in touch with former cooperating teachers and practicum mentors, and how those relationships can grow into long-term mentorship Why this whole network isn't a nice extra, it's protection against burnout and a direct benefit to your students Key takeaway Finding your people in a new building doesn't happen by accident. It takes deliberate effort across several circles at once: your cohort, your mentor, your neighbors, your role-alike network, your non-education friends, and your former mentors, and building that support system is part of the job, not separate from it. #FindingYourPeople #NewTeacherTalk #TeacherSupport #NewTeachers #TeacherPD #TeacherWellbeing #TeacherLeadership #K12Education

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the healing journey itself becomes another thing to optimize? In this conversation, Sammi Rose Barrett — teacher of somatics for the female nervous system — traces her own path from vinyasa yoga through yin, through burnout, through motherhood, into the work she does now. We talk about the difference between forcing a cathartic experience and letting the body arrive at one on its own; the particular flavor of shame that gets mistaken for personal failure when it's actually collective and structural; and why so much of "wellness culture" is really just perfectionism cloaked in another form. Sammi offers a grounded, funny, unsentimental picture of what it looks like to live in a female nervous system that ebbs and flows rather than grinds forward — and why oxytocin, not another five-step protocol, might be the thing most of us are actually starved for.Molly's Offerings:Sliding scale therapy offerings available to California residents for a limited time at Vessel Psychotherapy and Healing Collective Find Sammi Rose:Follow Sammi on instagramAccess Sammi's Somatic Self Touch LibraryMentioned in this episode:-Veronica @wakingwombFollow us @mollymitchellhardt and @thewholeparadoxCheck out Vessel Psychotherapy and Healing Collective for psychotherapy support throughout CaliforniaThis podcast was produced in association with Channel the Sun by Kevin Joseph Grossmann.

You feel called to something. You have vision, maybe even a clear sense that God put this in you. And still, weeks go by and you haven't touched it. Not because you're lazy. Because something underneath is running the show. In this episode, Sammi and I sit down after five months away from the mic and talk honestly about one of the most common struggles we hear from the coaches we work with: how to stay motivated and consistent when you don't have pressure forcing you, and how to know when lost motivation is actually a triggered state and not a character flaw. Together, we explore the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, what Maslow's hierarchy actually tells us about why some people self-sabotage to feel something, and why so many driven Christians flip between white-knuckling their way forward and drifting in what we call greasy grace. We talk about what it looks like to function from a triggered state while trying to build something, why an eight-year-old version of you can't make powerful content or hold a coaching session well, and what it actually takes to get regulated and return to your real self before you take the next step. We also get into why rushing to pray your pain away is often just self-abandonment with spiritual branding, and what it means to let God meet you in the middle of the mess instead. This episode is for anyone who: Feels genuinely called but loses steam the moment life gets busy or the pressure lifts. Struggles to stay consistent without someone external holding them accountable. Knows the vision but keeps getting hijacked by fear of failure, fear of judgment, or perfectionism before they can act on it. Is carrying the tension between dying to self and actually being allowed to want something. Desires to coach or lead from a place of overflow rather than performance and striving. Wants practical, grounded ways to take care of their heart so they can show up fully for the people depending on them. At its core, this is a conversation about what it means to stay connected to yourself and to God so that discipline and motivation become a natural overflow, not a grind you have to white-knuckle your way through.

SUBTITLE: how to find out what's really going on when your teen won't talk DESCRIPTION: why do teenagers suddenly quit sports they love? a mom in portland wrote to me because her 13 year old daughter went from sleeping in her jersey to done, overnight, and won't say why. in this episode i answer the questions parents of teen athletes ask most. why won't my teenager tell me what's wrong? should i let my child quit a sport mid-season? is 13 a normal age for girls to drop out of sports? the answer to that last one is yes, thirteen is the age girls leave sports in droves, and it's rarely about the sport itself. i walk through what usually hides underneath a sudden quit, from locker room comments to friendship fallout to changing bodies, why direct questions make a quiet teen quieter, why the you-made-a-commitment speech closes the door, and the side-by-side conversation technique that gets teenagers talking when face to face feels like an interrogation. plus how to keep the door open if she really is done, without pushing her through it. got a question for the show? email me. hey@heysammi.com https://heysammi.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Early-career coaches have to learn fast, adapt faster, and still earn trust. Sammi Ryan, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at Boston University, shares how seeking golden opportunities led her across the country and into unfamiliar sports. After an early training experience deterred her from the field, Ryan found her way in through graduate experience and a support system she still maintains today. When coaching sports she has not played, Ryan starts with research, trusted peers, and relationships with sport coaches. She stresses that coaches cannot “copy and paste” what worked at a previous stop because every team, athlete, and setting is different. For Ryan, athlete questions are a chance to clarify the plan or change course. She also discusses staff coverage and sport science integration at Boston University. Ryan reflects on helping college athletes grow and develop as humans, not just athletes. Listen to learn how to strengthen your support system, adapt across teams, and guide athletes beyond sport.

So, I think being able to lean on different support systems, mentors, other people that were in my cohort at my different grad programs to be able to reach out and lean on them and see how are you dealing with this, not just kind of the X's and O's, but maybe dealing with sport coaches or navigating how to train different teams, or working with sport science or just anything that kind of we deal with on the day to day... I think has been a huge one.” 7:10 “I feel like athletes nowadays, especially with the social media climb, they want to know the reason behind everything. So, I think being able to take a step back and [...] making sure I mean everything I program always has a why behind it. And I told my athletes, if they ask me why and I don't have a reason, I'm more than happy to take a step back and change it.” 14:45 “We get kids that are 17/18 years old and then we can take them and see them grow and develop into not just athletes, but grow and develop as humans as well. [...] I think a big part is being part of their life and helping them develop as humans, not just athletes. And to see that development throughout the years is definitely one of my favorite parts about this field.” 19:20

https://heysammi.com/coaches Coaches don't lose parents because they “don't care.” They lose them because families are drowning in platforms, notifications, and logins. This episode breaks down the real reason team apps stop working by mid-season—and why Sammi was built around the one thing parents always read: text messages. Sammi is designed to handle roster, schedules, payments, and parent communication entirely through SMS, with no downloads and no logins. You post the schedule… and still get “What time is practice?” You update the app… and end up texting anyway You request RSVPs… and they show up late or not at all Parents say “I didn't see it” and they're not lying—your message got buried This isn't a “parent problem.” It's an attention problem. Most sports families are managing multiple sports, multiple teams, plus league and tournament info across different platforms. Notifications get muted, apps get buried, and parents default to whatever is already open on their phone: text. Sammi's entire “no app” idea is built around this reality: “parents do not want another app” and coaches end up texting anyway. Sammi isn't a “better app.” It's a team assistant by text. For coaches: Text Sammi what you need (schedule changes, reminders, RSVPs, payments) and she does the admin work. For parents: They receive a text, reply to a text, and their calendars stay synced (Google, Outlook, iCal). Key promise: “Coach more. Manage less. Download nothing.” Already required to use TeamSnap, SportsEngine, or something else? Sammi can work alongside your current platform and handle communication, calendars, and reminders automatically—so you get the upgrade without migrating everything. Fewer “Where do I find the schedule?” messages Less chasing payments and RSVPs manually Fewer late arrivals and fewer missed updates (because texts get read) More coaching energy—less admin exhaustion Sammi is launching Summer 2026, and coaches can join early to lock in founding coach pricing and get free during beta access. If you want better parent communication immediately: Time-sensitive info should be texted, not “posted” Send one clean weekly “Sunday night” message: schedule + changes + reminders When something changes, message it in one sentence: what / when / where If you want to see how it works for coaches and get early access:https://heysammi.com/coaches Learn more about your ad choices.

https://heysammi.com/coaches Episode Title: Is the Best Sports Management App No App at All? Here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud: Parents didn't “stop caring.” They stopped opening apps. This episode is about the real reason your messages don't land… and why the smartest “sports tech” move might be removing tech friction, not adding more. This is not a tech debate. This is a coaching sanity episode. Because you've lived it: RSVP comes in Saturday morning instead of Wednesday You post the update in the app… then text anyway Parent says “I didn't see it” — and they're not lying The first 10 minutes of practice are chaos because half the families got the wrong info Families are overloaded. Most sports parents are managing: multiple kids multiple sports multiple team platforms plus school stuff, group chats, tournament sites, email, calendars So they do what humans do when overloaded: They mute notifications. They bury apps. They miss updates. And they default to the thing that's always open: text. This doesn't just waste time. It drains you. Because when communication gets sloppy: kids are late warmups get rushed you start practice annoyed and you spend more energy managing adults than developing players You become the “customer service department”… when you're supposed to be coaching basketball. Sammi didn't try to be a better app. Sammi is built around what parents already use: SMS text messages. No download. No login. No new account. No “check the app.” For coaches: you text what you need. Schedule changes. Reminders. RSVPs. Payment nudges. Key info. For parents: they get a text, reply to a text, and they're done. No hunting through apps. No missing updates buried under notifications. “I'm not anti-app. I'm anti-friction.” That's the whole point. Every extra step between you and parents creates missed information… and missed info creates chaos. Bracket flips Friday night Game time moves up 30 minutes Gym changes last second Uniform color changes Arrival time changes And you need ONE message that actually gets read Text is the fastest path to clarity. If you want fewer missed messages immediately: Time-sensitive updates should be texted, not “posted” Send one weekly “Sunday night” message with the whole week When something changes, keep it to one sentence: what / when / where Stop writing paragraphs. Clarity wins. Sammi is opening early access for coaches with a founding pricing window and free beta access, with a deadline coming up soon.
