What's up bros? It seems Shamea's comments toward Porsha have somehow created such a stir in the group that now Porsha is able to act like her and Shamea were going to be friends again before that comment? Very bizarre situation but even more bizarre that no one is calling her out. Are we getting so close to the end of the season that everyone's pretty much checking out?

Reggie Townsend: Making Responsible AI Irresistible Responsible AI has a design problem. Too often, it is treated as a compliance exercise, a policy document, or a late-stage control, when it should be the operating system that enables organizations to innovate with confidence. In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden welcomes back Reggie Townsend, Vice President of AI Ethics, Governance and Social Impact at SAS, to explore one compelling idea: making responsible AI irresistible. Drawing on decades of experience helping enterprises embed trustworthy AI into their operations, Reggie explains why governance must evolve from abstract principles to practical systems people actually use. As organizations race to deploy generative and agentic AI, the conversation has shifted. Responsible AI is no longer just about avoiding harm—it is about creating the conditions for innovation, resilience, and long-term competitive advantage. Boards are asking tougher questions. Regulators are raising expectations. Employees increasingly need guidance they can apply in real-world decisions, not just policies they acknowledge once a year. This conversation is essential listening for CEOs, board directors, Chief Risk Officers, compliance leaders, AI product teams, and founders navigating the transition from responsible AI intentions to responsible AI execution.   KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the biggest insights I took from this conversation is that responsible AI is fundamentally a design challenge. We have spent years writing principles and policies, yet many organizations still struggle to translate those aspirations into everyday decisions. Reggie reminded me that if governance feels complicated, disconnected, or burdensome, people will naturally work around it. Our challenge as leaders is to make responsible behavior the easiest path rather than the hardest one. I was also struck by how governance is becoming inseparable from business strategy. As generative and agentic AI systems begin making increasingly autonomous decisions, governance can no longer be treated as a legal or compliance function operating at the edge of the organization. It has to become part of product design, procurement, operations, and executive decision-making. Trust is no longer something we communicate after deployment; it is something we engineer from the beginning. Another important theme was the preservation of human agency. While AI can dramatically enhance productivity and decision-making, Reggie reminds us that organizations must remain intentional about where humans stay accountable. The future is unlikely to be defined by replacing people with AI, but by designing systems where humans and intelligent machines complement one another in transparent and meaningful ways. However, perhaps my greatest takeaway is that responsible AI should become a competitive advantage rather than a regulatory obligation. Organizations that embed governance in their innovation will move with greater confidence because customers, regulators, employees, and investors will increasingly reward trust. Making responsible AI irresistible is ultimately about making good governance so practical, intuitive and valuable that people actively choose to adopt it—and that may prove to be one of the most important leadership capabilities of the next decade.   BEST MOMENTS "Responsible AI isn't about slowing innovation. It's about creating the confidence to innovate at scale." – Reggie Townsend "If responsible AI feels like extra work, we've designed it wrong. We have to make it irresistible." – Reggie Townsend "Governance shouldn't be something you visit once a year. It should be embedded into every decision, every workflow, and every system we build." – Reggie Townsend "The question isn't whether AI will make decisions. It's whether we've designed those decisions to preserve human agency." – Reggie Townsend "Trust isn't something you add after deployment. It's something you architect from the very beginning." – Reggie Townsend "We're moving from governing models to governing systems of intelligence—and that's an entirely different challenge." – Reggie Townsend "The organizations that thrive won't be the ones that adopt AI the fastest. They'll be the ones that build trust the fastest." – Reggie Townsend "Responsible AI is no longer just an ethics conversation. It's becoming a leadership conversation, an operational conversation, and ultimately a competitive advantage." – Sabine VanderLinden "As AI becomes more autonomous, our responsibility as leaders becomes even more intentional." – Sabine VanderLinden "The future belongs to organizations that can turn responsible AI from a policy into a practice." – Sabine VanderLinden   ABOUT THE GUEST Reggie Townsend is Vice President of AI Ethics, Governance and Social Impact at SAS, where he leads SAS' global AI Ethics, Governance and Social Impact organization. His remit includes the company's Data & AI Ethics Practice, AI & Society initiatives, AI Governance Advisory, Standards, Regulations & Risk Intelligence programs, and Accessible & Adaptive AI efforts. He drives SAS' work on trustworthy, human-centric innovation across products, policies, and partnerships.  Reggie is recognized as one of the clearest voices in responsible and trustworthy AI. He has served as a member of the White House National AI Advisory Committee, sits on the board of EqualAI, and works at the intersection of responsible innovation, enterprise governance, social impact, and emerging AI regulation. In this conversation, he explores how organizations can turn AI governance from a source of friction into a driver of adoption, accountability, and growth.    ABOUT THE HOST Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures. She leads venture-client labs that help Fortune 500 companies adopt and scale cutting-edge technologies from global tech ventures. A builder of accelerators, investor, and co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, Sabine is known for asking the uncomfortable questions—about AI governance, risk, and trust.

Brooks sits down with Maren McCrary, a Talent ID Scout for US Soccer, to dig into what talent identification actually looks like at the highest level. Maren works on the girls' side at U.S. Soccer, but her path there ran through several college programs, where she coached and scouted before making the jump. They cover a lot of ground: the different roles Maren has held on her way to this position, why the best talent evaluators are upfront about what they're actually looking for instead of playing it close to the vest, and why there's no substitute for watching soccer — a lot of it, at every level. That last point matters more than people think: spotting a late bloomer who hasn't hit their growth spurt yet, or separating a kid who's just bigger and faster right now from one with real long-term potential, is one of the hardest parts of the job.If you loved this episode, drop us a review and rating — it genuinely helps us grow! ⚽

Raider Nation, most of you are level-headed on this — but there's a vocal chunk that wants Fernando Mendoza in there Week 1.

Most hunters spend their time trying to copy what everyone else is doing. Josh from The Untamed has built a reputation by doing the exact opposite.In this episode of Before the Echo, we sit down with Josh to talk about why he hunts differently, the hunting "rules" he ignores, and how independent thinking has helped him consistently find success. We dive into public land strategy, mature bucks, common hunting myths, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop following the crowd and start trusting your own instincts.Whether you're just getting started or you've been chasing whitetails for years, this conversation is guaranteed to make you think differently.

In this Deer Society podcast, we are joined by Ben Rising and Javin Mullet of Whitetail Edge for a deep dive discussion into early season scouting and preparation for the upcoming deer season. NOW is the time to put in the work for successful 2026-27 deer season. We hope you enjoy the podcast!

Our Rokcast co-host, Jaden Bales spends a lot of time diving into the nuts and bolts of western hunting through his own Hunt West Podcast. While the Rokcast is focused on episodes of the most experienced hunters in the industry and the latest big game research across the West, The Hunt West Podcast is a place where Jaden and his guests unpack the systems and lessons they've learned through guiding, hunt planning, and hundreds of days spent chasing mule deer and elk across the West. This episode has become one of the most popular in the Hunt West catalog, and we thought it was worth bringing over to the Rokcast feed because it's timely, and the ideas translate no matter where you hunt. Whether you're planning your first western adventure or you've been doing this for decades, there's value in stepping back and thinking about how animals use country and how we can become better at finding them through scouting fundamentals. Rather than focusing on specific locations, this conversation is about developing a framework for scouting. Jaden walks through the way he thinks about terrain, animal behavior, seasonal movements, and hunting pressure, all with the goal of helping hunters become more confident when they step into unfamiliar country. Along the way, he shares stories that shaped his own approach. He talks about finding three bucks during a July scouting trip and helping a friend kill one of those same deer three months later. He discusses the frustration of chasing a target buck that seemed to disappear, only to discover it had been living within a few hundred yards of its summer range the entire time. He also explains why scouting for mule deer often centers around individual bucks, while scouting for elk is more about finding cows and understanding how entire herds move across the landscape. The conversation covers everything from high-country basins and fresh burns to sagebrush deserts and pinyon-juniper country. You'll hear why some meadows consistently produce elk while others don't, how hunting pressure changes where animals spend their time, and why understanding bedding areas, travel corridors, and feed is often more important than simply finding animals once. Whether you're looking to fine-tune your scouting this summer or just enjoy hearing how another hunter breaks down country, we think you'll find something useful in this crossover episode from the Hunt West Podcast.

When our nation needs unfathomably pedantic sports lawyers, Mo Thiam returning: HUGE news for Michigan, because they needed a frontcourt. Sam: strategy is a retention domino effect: keeping Boynton helped the keep McKenney, which may have influenced Akeem Miskdeen to stick around, which means holding onto Cadeau, which was a big question for Thiam, and if everyone's here you have a shot to keep Estrella. Sam: needs to be more strategy here. Got to back Mike Boynton, let him sign his staff to long-term contracts so he can attract good people. Craig: Misrepresenting how Dusty left. Not okay with the way his players found out, don't think he left for the same reasons as Beilein, despite the interview, because the context of that interview was the NCAA issues were an aside and the main reason was the Mavs were willing to pour resources into him and it's the friggin' NBA. Seth: don't make the 2024 football mistake again by prioritizing keeping the roster together, because most of them—Cadeau, McKenney, Thiam, Estrella, McCoy, Reed—are only around for one more year. You can give Boynton a chance, but obviously Warde is working the back-channels. Sam: Need to support Boynton without boxing yourself in. Craig: Can't hamstring your current guy with less than full support. Ideally Boynton does a fantastic job, is lining up guys for beyond, wins again, and is Tom Izzo but with championships for 30 years. Craig: Schertz is this year's model. He isn't just the hot name; in Ken Pomeroy's article for VALIANT he showed which coaches were dominating in 2PAD: the top-six teams went Schertz, Schertz, Nate Oats, Dusty May, Dusty May, Dusty May. Dusty got Boynton because he defended the rim. Cason to return? Sam thinks so. Break: Craig thinks Dusty should have exited more gracefully. Seth says if you're getting a divorce because you fell in love with someone else, *how* you tell your wife isn't the reason she's mad at you. Football recruiting: Big deal that they can go into a Buckeye family in Cincinnati and get a cornerback that Ohio State wanted. Scouting report: Monsanna Torbert is FAST. Saban always talked about DBs with basketball skills because they can play the ball. Nickname is "Sookie" (sp? Suki? Sukki? Siucci?). Need to watch the film still—love when we get a kid from Cincy because the competition level is strong and the kids are so well-coached. Height: only 5'11 man in America who's really 5'11. Sam was thinking he'd be Smith Snowden's size. If Ohio State wants you that bad—was trying to get him to not even take a Michigan visit—you're probably something. Comp: DJ Turner II. Good to see how their GM is working with the coaches regarding what level they can recruit. Was an issue last year when they had Coach BJ recruiting linebackers that he didn't have the money for.

In a July crop update on The Cornelius Seed Podcast, the hosts discuss current Corn Belt conditions and key in-season concerns: southern rust, nitrogen loss, and tar spot. Crop conditions across Illinois, Iowa, southern Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota are generally strong for corn with good stands, while soybeans are behind due to delayed, stop-and-go planting, potentially reducing top-end yield from missed early flowering windows. They warn southern rust could be as bad or worse than last year, citing reports of up to 80 bu/acre losses without fungicide, driven by frequent Gulf-origin storms and early spore detection. Recommended protection is a long-residual fungicide at R1 (silking), with scouting and possible second applications depending on product residual. They explain yellowing from saturated soils via leaching and denitrification and outline rescue nitrogen options and timing. Tar spot is noted as common but typically checked by July heat, with greater concern later in August. Scouting also includes rootworm beetles and emerging soybean red crown rot, with Victrato seed treatment discussed for SCN, SDS, and red crown rot. 00:00 Planting Update00:21 Crop Conditions Update  05:14 Southern Rust Warning12:59 Fungicide Timing & Recommendations20:04 Nitrogen Loss & Rescue Treatments35:44 Tar Spot Reality Check

In this episode, Tyler Clark and Coleman Ayers sit down with Andrew Antelidze, a 25-year-old assistant coach and scout with BC Žalgiris in the EuroLeague. Originally from the Republic of Georgia, Andrew broke into professional basketball through a connection he built while working with the Georgian national team, eventually earning a role under head coach Andrea Trinchieri before expanding his responsibilities under Rokas Masoulis. At just 23, he joined the Žalgiris organization and has since been part of one of the club's most historic seasons, finishing fifth in the EuroLeague.The conversation covers a wide range of tactical ground, from video coordination and scouting philosophy to offensive frameworks, defensive analytics, and practice structure. Andrew shares how Žalgiris built their offense around first-eight-second and last-eight-second shot principles, why tagging up has been a staple of their defense for three seasons, and how they use energy charts and smart fouling metrics to drive physicality. The episode closes with an honest discussion about player development constraints in European basketball, the challenge of developing players during a nine-month season, and what it takes for a young coach to earn and keep a seat at an elite table.TimestampsAndrew joins;

Willem Paling: From Messy Middles to Autonomous Agents and the Race for Trust at Scale While the insurance sector has long flirted with artificial intelligence, a vast majority of firms find themselves paralyzed in perpetual pilot phases. In this installment of Scouting for Growth, I sit down with Willem Paling, Executive Manager of AI and Analytics at IAG, to decode the transition from mere experimentation to the realization of operational AI at scale. Reflecting on IAG's aggressive deployment—launching more models in the past year than in the previous six years combined—Willem highlights that success in insurance will be anchored in trust architecture and governance rather than in model complexity alone. We unpack the friction of deploying in a regulated environment, moving beyond the "messy middle" of claims workflows toward a future of autonomous agents that enhance decision-making while ensuring human accountability remains paramount. Our dialogue ventures into the frontiers of agentic commerce, machine-readable products, and the looming challenges of AI-driven fraud. As we look toward 2030, the vision of an AI-native insurer emerges, revealing why the winners will be those who weaponize their data foundations and human-AI collaboration today to dominate the industry's next era.   Key Takeaways What stood out to me most from my conversation with Willem is that the AI race in insurance is no longer about access to models. Frontier models are becoming increasingly available to everyone. The real differentiator is the ability to operationalize AI safely, consistently, and at scale. Trust architecture, governance, monitoring, explainability, and human oversight are becoming strategic assets rather than compliance requirements. I was particularly struck by Willem's observation that the industry must stop treating AI as a series of experiments and start treating it as a core operating capability. The organizations creating value today are those that have embedded AI into business workflows, assigned clear ownership, and built repeatable deployment mechanisms that move beyond proof-of-concept thinking. Another important lesson is that the greatest near-term value lies in the “messy middle” of insurance operations. By automating document-heavy, repetitive, and semi-structured tasks, AI can free highly skilled professionals to focus on judgment, customer relationships, negotiation, and exception handling—the areas where human expertise remains essential. Our discussion also reinforced how dramatically the distribution of products may change as AI agents increasingly influence product discovery and purchasing decisions. Insurers must prepare for a world in which products must be machine-readable, API-enabled, and easily consumable by AI systems, not just by human buyers. Finally, Willem highlighted an often-overlooked challenge: AI is not only helping insurers but also empowering bad actors. AI-generated fraud, synthetic identities, deepfakes, and manipulated evidence will require stronger trust mechanisms, verification systems, and provenance controls. The insurers that thrive by 2030 will be those that invest today in trustworthy AI foundations while redesigning their organizations around human-AI collaboration.   Best Moments “This is what the messy middle actually looks like. Not the hype, not the holdouts—the insurer that stopped experimenting and started shipping.” – Sabine VanderLinden “We stopped doing experiments, and we focused on delivery.” – Willem Paling “The frontier is no longer just model capability. It's whether you can industrialize AI with trust.” – Willem Paling “Trust architecture isn't separate from value creation. Trust is what turns AI from an impressive model into something that improves insurance at scale.” – Willem Paling “We're talking about expert judgment, decision-making, critical thinking, and empathy.” – Sabine VanderLinden “The goal is not to preserve every task in the old role. It's to preserve and elevate the expertise inside the role.” – Willem Paling “The most underestimated risk is AI on the other side—AI attacking the evidence layer of insurance.” – Willem Paling “The winning insurer in 2030 will be AI-native in how it operates, not just AI-enabled in a few functions.” – Willem Paling “The companies who win the agentic frontier aren't the ones with the biggest models. They are the ones who earn autonomy instead of declaring it.” – Sabine VanderLinden   ABOUT THE GUEST Willem Paling is the Executive Manager of AI and Analytics at IAG, Insurance Australia Group, Australia's largest general insurer, operating brands including NRMA Insurance, CGU, WFI, and Swann Insurance. He leads the strategy and industrialization of AI across the organization, including production-grade systems in claims, underwriting, customer service, responsible AI governance, and human-AI teaming.  His work focuses on moving AI from experimentation into trusted execution. Willem has helped shape IAG's responsible AI commitments, supported the Australian Responsible AI Index, and contributed to the AI 2030 Horizons perspective following the ITC 2025 executive summit. His mission connects frontier capability with the governance, explainability, and operating discipline required to deploy AI safely in an industry built on customer promises.

There's a version of hunting where everything goes according to plan. The rig starts, the weather cooperates, your deer or elk are exactly where you left them. That version of hunting isn't what Blake Ledger and I talked about on this week's episode. Blake's a guy who hunts with traditional archery equipment, chases deer and elk in country that earns every inch of access, and has a relationship with hunting that goes a lot deeper than punching tags. When we sat down together, I wasn't expecting the conversation to go where it did -- but that's the thing about talking to people who actually hunt hard. The real stories always surface. Blake told me about a breakdown that happened mid-trip in the middle of nowhere. Not a dead battery, not a flat tire -- a full vehicle failure at the worst possible time, in the kind of country where that actually matters. What unfolded after that wasn't a disaster story. It was a testament to what hunting communities actually are when things go sideways. People showed up. Problems got solved. The hunt continued. We also spent a serious chunk of time talking about time. Not time management in the corporate-seminar sense -- actual hours in the field, boots on the ground, eyes on animals. Blake's a believer, like I am, that you cannot shortcut your way to understanding a piece of ground. Trail cameras help. Scouting helps. But there's a kind of knowledge that only accumulates when you've watched a particular drainage long enough to know what it does in a particular wind. That doesn't come from an app. The conversation shifted into the mental side of hunting -- the anticipation that builds before a season, the way a hunter's mindset evolves after years of close calls and missed shots. Blake's had both. He talked about visual confirmation and how trail cameras changed -- and didn't change -- how he thinks about hunting. There's a version of the scouting game where cameras become a crutch, and a version where they sharpen your decisions. The difference is the hunter using them. This is the kind of episode I started this podcast to make. Two guys who love the woods, talking honestly about what it actually takes. No shortcuts, no highlight reel -- just the real thing.
