Recorded live at PSConfEU 2026, Andrew sits down with returning guest Miriam Wiesner, Senior Security Researcher at Microsoft, for a wide-ranging conversation on PowerShell security, cookie-based attacks, and the evolving threat landscape. Miriam walks through her two conference talks — one on Microsoft Teams session cookie hijacking (a follow-up to her 2025 Entra ID cookie talk, complete with Cookie Monster branding and actual handcuffs), and a joint session with Stéphane van Gulick on using Microsoft Defender's Live Response feature for incident investigation. The conversation also covers the current state of PowerShell security, why sophisticated attackers are moving away from PowerShell, and why defenders who haven't enabled script block logging and AMSI are leaving easy wins on the table. On top of the technical deep dive, Miriam and Andrew get into the human side of the conference community — nerves before presenting, imposter syndrome, and why showing up is already half the battle. Key Takeaways: Cookie-based identity attacks are an active and growing threat. Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive share session cookies, meaning a single cookie theft can give an attacker broad access across your organization's collaboration tools — no re-authentication required. Sophisticated threat actors are moving away from PowerShell specifically because its security features work. Script block logging, AMSI, and Constrained Language Mode make PowerShell activity highly visible and detectable. If your org hasn't enabled these, you're handing attackers an easy path. Visibility beats prevention. You can't prevent what you can't see. Detection through proper logging is not a consolation prize — it's a core security strategy, and Microsoft Defender's Live Response feature gives teams a powerful way to investigate isolated endpoints without needing RDP or PowerShell remoting enabled. Guest Bio: Miriam Wiesner is a Senior Security Research Program Manager at Microsoft with over 15 years of experience in IT security, penetration testing, and security automation. She works on research behind Microsoft Defender and Sentinel and is the creator of widely used open source PowerShell security tools EventList and JEAnalyzer. Miriam is a sought-after speaker at major security and PowerShell conferences including Black Hat, PSConfEU, and MITRE ATT&CK Workshops. She's also the author of "PowerShell Automation and Scripting for Cybersecurity," published by Packt. Her conference speaker career started at PSConfEU 2018 and she's been a fixture of the community ever since.

Ed conducted a training session on Google Local Service Ads (LSA) for the Agent Power Huddle group, sharing his experience and strategies for generating high-quality real estate leads. Ed explained how LSA leads differ from traditional PPC ads, emphasizing their search-triggered nature and higher intent, with leads costing around $75 per call and being verified by AI to ensure quality. He detailed the setup process, including creating a Google My Business profile, verifying credentials, and setting an initial budget of $500-1,000 per week, which he later increased to $10,000 to demonstrate serious business intent. Ed shared his success story of generating 8 leads in 24 hours and securing 7 signed listing agreements within that timeframe, using a specific script that addresses the legal requirement of Senate Bill 5191 and offers flexibility in contract signing. He also discussed expanding from local to state-level targeting once systems are established and explained how to handle referrals when leads are outside your market area. The training concluded with Ed encouraging participants to set up their LSA profiles and emphasizing the importance of responding to leads within 5 minutes based on MIT study findings.
The podcast was created using NotebookLM.This podcast describes a shift in dentistry from treating jaw pain as a mechanical dental issue to recognizing it as a neurological and psychological condition.
This meeting was a real estate training session led by Ed Lane, a 39-year veteran agent with over 3,000 sales, focused on handling multiple offer situations in the current market. Ed explained that with limited inventory (about 2.5 months supply) and the potential return of buyers after the war ends, multiple offers are becoming more common in certain Seattle areas. He outlined a systematic approach to managing multiple offers, emphasizing that the moment a second offer is received "unlocks" the process and creates competitive pressure that can be leveraged for better terms beyond just price. Ed covered key strategies including using a comparison spreadsheet to evaluate offers side-by-side, explaining the four possible paths (accept, reject, counter, or request highest and best), and providing scripts for communicating with sellers and buyer agents. The session included discussions about handling buyer agent inquiries, setting firm deadlines for highest and best offers, and sending follow-up emails with constructive feedback on offer terms without being offensive. Ed also addressed common mistakes agents make, including getting emotional, chasing price only, and failing to vet lenders properly. The training concluded with a Q&A where participants discussed how to handle buyer agents asking questions about MLS verbiage they haven't reviewed, with Ed advising to be helpful and view it as part of the sales process rather than a burden.
Ed Laine led a training session focused on strategies to help hesitant buyers overcome market fears, particularly related to the Iranian war and interest rates. He shared scripts and dialogues agents can use to move buyers off the sidelines, emphasizing the importance of positioning as a certainty advisor rather than a salesperson. Ed discussed various conversation starters and techniques, including the "marry the house, date the rate" approach and how to address buyer concerns about market timing. The session included practical examples and role-playing scenarios, with participants sharing how they would apply these techniques with their clients. Ed also mentioned his custom ChatGPT tool called "Scripting Mastery" that agents can access for additional support.
Ed Lane led a training session on offer review dates, explaining when and when not to use this strategy in real estate listings. He outlined four key criteria for implementing offer review dates: property condition, competition level, pricing strategy, and market timing. Ed emphasized that the strategy should be property-specific rather than market-specific, and shared specific scenarios where offer review dates worked effectively, including a case with 99 offers. The session covered how to communicate with sellers about the strategy, handle situations when no offers come in during the review period, and re-engage potential buyers after removing the review date. Ed also discussed pricing strategies like price bracketing and the importance of proper market positioning.

When nonprofits speak out on issues in the public square, the line between education and electioneering can get blurry – especially during election season. On this episode of Rules of the Game, we break down what the law allows when organizations comment on statements made by candidates and campaigns, and how those rules shift when addressing the actions of incumbents who may also be on the ballot. From issue advocacy to the risk of impermissible political intervention, we walk through practical scenarios and key guardrails to help your nonprofit stay compliant while engaging in advocacy to advance your mission. Shownotes Basic rule: 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from supporting or opposing candidates for public office, which means that their advocacy and actions have to remain nonpartisan. · Black and White: 501(c)(3)s can't endorse candidates, and they can't explicitly tell people who not to vote for. On the other hand, nonprofits can emphasize the importance of voting in a nonpartisan way, and they can continue to educate voters about issues core to their missions without suggesting who people should vote for in an upcoming candidate election. · Shades of Gray: IRS utilizes a facts and circumstances analysis to determine whether a nonprofit's communication is permissible or a violation of the tax code's electioneering prohibition for 501(c)(3)s. While not an exhaustive list, some facts and circumstances the IRS might consider include… o Timing of the communication o Targeted audience o How the message relates to what candidates and political parties are saying, and more! · The IRS has also indicated that messaging that includes distorted facts, disparaging language, or statements not aimed at developing the audience's understanding of a mission-related issue can indicate a violation of the law. Commenting on Candidates and Campaigns · No clear guidance from IRS on how to do this safely, but based on the required facts and circumstances analysis, best practices could include: o Focusing on what was said (the issue), not who said it (the candidate) o Avoiding discussions about candidate qualifications or whether someone is a good or bad candidate o Scripting responses before talking to reporters or the public (since you may very well get a question related to the election and who people should vote for) o Avoiding comments about a candidate's record or personal characteristics o Avoiding references to voters and the upcoming election o Not comparing your position on an issue to where the candidates stand on that issue · Remember: It is permissible to monitor what candidates say and do so that you can prepare for the future. o The risk arises for 501(c)(3)s when they communicate in a way that could be perceived as attempting to influence the outcome of a candidate election. · Examples[NRO1] : o "What if Candidate X states during a candidate debate that "our community's water quality meets all safety standards." Can a local environmental justice 501(c)(3) correct the record if that statement is false? § Yes. The organization could clarify that the claim is inconsistent with recent state water quality reports. It could then point to publicly available testing data. § The key is to avoid discussing the particular candidate who made the statement and instead to focus on the issue itself. Use this as an opportunity to educate the public on issues core to your mission. § To minimize risk, avoid mentioning the candidate by name, issue disclaimers (reminders that you are a 501(c)(3) and that you do not support / oppose candidates for public office), and focus on issues in alignment with the organization's mission. Commenting on the Actions & Statements of Incumbents · 501(c)(3) public charities can criticize or praise the votes and official statements of current government officials. Best practices include: o Focus on official actions only (without mentioning if an incumbent is up for reelection) o Time communications to coincide with policy actions (as opposed to increasing praise or criticism in the days leading up to the election). o Have a track-record of working on the issue, and make sure it's central to your mission. o Include commentary on legislators and other government officials who are NOT up for reelection. If you focus solely on the actions of incumbents running for office, that can raise a red flag. o Use nonpartisan criteria when deciding on which official actions and statements to call out and respond to. o Exercise particular caution when commenting on an issue position that clearly distinguishes candidates in an upcoming election. · Example: o What if a mayor in a 501(c)(3)'s jurisdiction decides to support funding cuts to programs that provide housing to the unhoused and services for housing-insecure community members? Can the 501(c)(3) public charity chime in? § Yes. A 501(c)(3) could issue a press release criticizing the mayor's statement in support of funding cuts and urge the city to restore services where needed. § The charity would want to have a history of working on related issues to ensure the statement is in alignment with its mission and history of advocacy. § It would also want to avoid mentioning any upcoming elections or noting that the mayor is up for re-election. § In addition, it's important for the organization to comment on the official statement and action immediately, as opposed to waiting until just before candidate elections occur.

May 2026 doesn't feel like “more noise” to me, it feels like clearer signal. We're stepping into the Human Design quarter of civilization, shifting from the early-year vibe of ideation and emotional processing into purpose through form. Translation for your business and personal brand: it's time to turn the vision into something real, something structured, and something you can actually communicate without overexplaining.I walk you through the background frequency of the Human Design transits and exactly how I'd use them for aligned marketing and content strategy. Early May brings Gate 2, my favorite reminder that magnetism can come from receptivity, stillness, and direction rather than pushing. Then Gate 23 turns up “original insight,” supporting messaging that sounds like you, not the trend cycle. If you've been holding back a bold perspective, this is a window to say it simply and let it land.Mid-month is where the big shift hits: the nodes move into Gate 55 (spirit of abundance) and Gate 59 (intimacy), and you may notice more freedom-led desire plus deeper connection in the way you speak to your people. Jupiter moves into Gate 62, rewarding structure, details, and clean execution, while Saturn shifts into Gate 21, spotlighting resources, capacity, and money stewardship. Late May is the peak: Gate 20 lights up the power of now, and because Uranus also moves into Gate 20, we get a longer runway for clearer throat energy and real-time communication. I share how I'd use this for live video, face-to-camera content, launches, and a low-ticket strategy tease that's coming in that window.If you want your Human Design transits to support your marketing instead of distracting you, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so I keep bringing these monthly updates.----------------------------------Please come say hi!Join the Human Design for Marketing FB group, here where I go behind the episode scenes and answer your questionsFollow me on IGCheckout our YouTube channelDownload your Human Design chartDownload your custom Human Design for Marketing Reading (report) + Frieda

Ed Lane conducted a training session on buyer scripting strategies for challenging market conditions, covering five different buyer scenarios and corresponding dialogue scripts. The session focused on addressing common buyer paralysis caused by market uncertainty, including discussions about interest rates, market timing, and life decisions versus market conditions. Ed shared specific scripts for first-time buyers waiting for rate drops, move-up buyers frozen by fear, luxury buyers concerned about market timing, downsizers afraid to give up low rates, and buyers paralyzed by uncertainty. The training included practical examples and visual aids to illustrate key concepts, with Ed demonstrating how to use ChatGPT for script assistance. The session concluded with a discussion about eXp's potential headquarters relocation from Washington to Texas, and Alyson sought advice about handling a high-end REO property with specific commission structure questions.
Pope Leo XIV's first Easter message, where he called for global peace amidst conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war and the US-Israeli war on Iran. The "messy" irony lies in the transition from a solemn papal address on world "ravaged by wars" to the interpersonal "messiness" and psychological pathology discussed in the following segments. Guarding the Reservoir: Physical & Emotional Rebalancing 1. The Professional Martyr: Recognizing the Bait Decoding Passive-Aggression: Analyzing the "I'd love to just come float" comment. Recognizing it as a "loaded" statement meant to trigger guilt about your success, your pool, and your upcoming retirement. The Approval Trap: Acknowledging that they don't approve of your expenditures (pool resurfacing/safety) and why you no longer need their "stamp of approval" on your financial freedom. Protecting Your Space: Understanding that their inability to relax is her burden, not a flaw in your hospitality. You aren't "pulling her in" anymore; the pool is closed, and so is the door to her drama. 2. Healing from Past Emotional "Inflammation." The DC & Birthday Lessons: Reflecting on past vacations and birthdays ruined by a professional martyr The "Emergency" Pattern: The martyr's lack of planning or refusal to make hard choices became your emergency. Breaking the Cycle: Declaring that early retirement and your "new" life will not be a staging ground for their crisis-management. 3. The Physical Toll: Menopause & The Electrolyte Crash The Hormone Shift: Discussing the transition off HRT and the reality of "Black Girl Vitamins"—they help, but the body's chemistry is still in flux. The Sweetwater Incident: A deep dive into the "Full Body Crash." The danger of severe night sweats leading to "free water" loss and electrolyte depletion. The symptoms: Weakness in hands, knee pain, and full-body aches that feel like a setback in the anti-inflammatory journey. The Rebalancing Window: Acknowledging that it took 24+ hours to recover, highlighting how much more fragile our baseline is during hormonal shifts. 4. Lessons for the "Solo RV" Life Logistics vs. Physical Ability: The difficulty of managing hookups and setup when your body is depleted. The New "Pre-Flight" Checklist: * Prioritizing hydration protocols (Liquid IV, electrolyte powders) before the sweat starts. The necessity of organization: An unorganized RV + a depleted body = a dangerous combination. Planning for Weakness: Admitting that "muscle-ing through" isn't a strategy anymore; planning for physical conservation is. 5. Closing Thought: The Anti-Inflammatory Mindset Internal & External Peace: You can't heal systemic inflammation if you are constantly triggered by family or physically dehydrated. The Goal: A resurfaced pool deck, a safe home, a retirement free of guilt, and a body that is properly fueled for the road ahead. Harrison Bay Mantra: "My peace is non-negotiable, my signal is low, and my hydration is high." Protecting from mental depletion and financial Depletion, the scams of life: Just like you are setting boundaries with your sister by turning off your Wi-Fi calling at Harrison Bay, your listeners need to set "Financial Boundaries." Rule #1: No federal agent will ever come to your house for a "cash pickup." Rule #2: If they tell you to lie to your bank teller, they are 100% a criminal. I'm heading to Harrison Bay to get away from the noise, but the 'noise' isn't just family drama—it's these high-tech predators. Whether it's a martyr sister trying to steal your joy or a scammer trying to steal your retirement, the solution is the same: Disconnect. Verify. Protect your peace."

This meeting was a Scripting Fridays session led by Ed, covering assumable mortgages as a negotiation strategy in real estate transactions. Ed explained how buyers can take over sellers' existing low-interest mortgages (typically FHA, VA, or USDA loans from 2020-2022) to achieve significantly lower monthly payments compared to current high rates. The discussion included practical guidance on identifying assumable loans, handling the equity gap between purchase price and loan balance, and marketing properties with assumable financing to attract rate-sensitive buyers. Ed provided scripts for buyer consultations and listing presentations, emphasizing the importance of transparency with clients about all financing options. The session also addressed potential pitfalls, including VA loan COE limitations and lender communication requirements. Near the end, Ed addressed a specific question from Alyson about handling an undisclosed buyer situation for an $11 million property in Malibu, suggesting strategies for presenting the offer while protecting the buyer's privacy.

Coach Jimmie Tyson is back. The DC at Dothan High School in Alabama returns just weeks after his first appearance because there was unfinished business: hot pressures. In this film-heavy session, Coach Tyson breaks down how he couples six and five-man pressure paths with hot coverage, why self-scouting data pushed him away from zero coverage, and how a modular system lets him run the same pressure with man, fire zone, or quarters behind it.This is a clinic. Coach Tyson pulls real film from games against some of the top programs in Florida and Alabama and walks through the concepts live.

Ed Laine leads this Scripting Friday session focused on one of today's biggest challenges—helping buyers move forward in an uncertain market. With many buyers frozen by concerns around interest rates and home prices, Ed breaks down how to shift the conversation from fear to strategy. He explains why today's market conditions are fundamentally different from past downturns like the Great Depression and Great Recession, highlighting how modern regulations like Dodd-Frank Act have changed lending practices. Ed introduces practical scripts and frameworks to handle common objections—like waiting for lower rates or prices—and reinforces the mindset of “marry the house, date the rate.” He also shares tactical solutions such as 2-1 buydowns, refinancing strategies, and using visual comparisons to help clients make confident decisions. The session emphasizes guiding clients with clarity and data rather than speculation, helping them focus on what they can control instead of trying to time the market. If your buyers are stuck in indecision, this episode gives you the tools to lead them forward with confidence and close more deals—even in uncertain times.
Ed Laine leads a foundational coaching session focused on one of the most overlooked success drivers in real estate: how you structure your day. Instead of scripts and tactics, Ed dives into building an intentional routine that shifts agents out of reactive mode and into proactive control. Drawing inspiration from The Miracle Morning, he shares practical strategies like time blocking, setting non-negotiables, and prioritizing high-income activities to create consistent results. The session also explores the importance of balancing five key life areas—personal, financial, family, business, and spiritual—emphasizing that true success comes from intentional attention, not equal time. Ed provides actionable frameworks for reducing stress, protecting personal time, and building systems that eliminate chaos. From morning routines to daily planning and long-term alignment, this episode challenges you to stop reacting to your business—and start designing it. If you're ready to take control of your schedule, increase productivity, and create a business that supports your life (not the other way around), this is your blueprint.

On The Coaching 101 Podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson recap returning from Boston clinics, then discuss how they script plays and drives. Simpson explains that because their offense is unique, early plays aim to both score and gather information by showing motions, shifts, empty, trips, and unbalanced looks to confirm defensive alignments, rotations, and player keys, revealing advantages and matchups. Chamberlain adds scripting can also create future scouting complexity while avoiding rigid adherence to long 15–20 play scripts that can ignore hot plays, rhythm, personnel groupings, or standout athletes. Simpson uses a “3 plays for each of the first 3 drives” approach plus additional first/second half calls, and also scripts third-down and red-zone calls as tools to rely on under pressure. They note scripts evolve weekly based on opponent strengths, their own personnel, and tendency breakers without overthinking.00:00 Podcast kickoff in Boston00:44 Family trip and Bruins stories02:46 Clinic tour and spring prep04:18 Head coach time management05:48 Quote of the week setup07:32 Sponsor shoutouts10:52 Scripting plays overview12:27 Early script to gather intel17:36 Daniel's scripting philosophy20:22 Breaking the old script rules22:06 Script as a flexible tool23:08 Call Sheet Mindset24:26 Scripting Three Drives25:57 Personnel Rotation Planning27:38 Situational Scripts29:41 When to Go Off Script32:14 Evolving Weekly Scripts38:05 Wrinkles and Tendency Breakers41:32 Overthinking Tendencies42:45 Wrap Up and SponsorsDaniel Chamberlain:@CoachChamboOKChamberlainFootballConsulting@gmail.comchamberlainfootballconsulting.comKenny Simpson:@FBCoachSimpsonfbcoachsimpson@gmail.comFBCoachSimpson.com

Do you find it difficult to set new business appointments? Most agents struggle with this as well. Usually it has a lot to do with what you're saying (or not saying) to your prospects. Is your script focused on "Price" or is it focused on "Service" or even something else? Because it matters. In this episode, host Charles Specht will explain which script variation tends to work better for which types of prospects. Frankly, the answer may surprise you. And, if you can make the necessary adjustments it should result in more set appointments with your prospects! For more information on the insurance sales training services or even the Fractional Chief Sales Officer offerings by Charles Specht, visit: www.permissiongroup.com. Key Topics: Price and service are two sides of the same coin - prospect with both, not one or the other Insurance buyers understand price instinctively but not coverage nuances - speak to their level Nearly every pricing problem traces back to a missing or inadequate service from the wrong agent Most agents skip renegotiating with underwriters, leaving prospects paying 5 to 15% more than necessary Attaching price pain to a specific missing service is what earns the prospect's agreement to meet A sample renegotiation strategy script that ties premium savings to a unique underwriter approach Scripting and messaging must target problems the prospect already feels - not gaps only you can see Avoid leading with EPLI or cyber liability - prospects don't feel the pain of those coverage gaps Price plus service prospecting sets more first appointments and ultimately wins more signed broker of record letters Reach out to Charles Specht Visit: Permission Network Produced by PodSquad.fm

This is the Free Content version of my interview with Drs. Sarah & Bastiaan van Rijn. To listen to the full interview, you can either purchase it for a one-time fee, or become a Patreon member. Sarah van Rijn (née Perez) is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern. She currently works on a project that analyses similarities and differences in ethical motivation, knowledge production, and activist practice of animal rights activists and persons identifying with the eco-spiritual milieu. She previously worked on early modern pamphlets as well as youth- and online spirituality. The latter topic was also the reason why Sarah and her husband Bastiaan have published on the phenomenon of Reality Shifting. Bastiaan van Rijn is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His current project focuses on the connections between spiritual tourism and alternative history. Before that, he wrote on the various ways in which Western individuals have tried to scientifically prove life after death since the late eighteenth century. His book, Afterlife Research, appears later this year. Sarah and Bas have both been previous guests on the platform, Sarah in a roundtable discussion with Dr. Cavan McLaughin on her research into Reality Shifting, and Bas in E 43 about Mesmerism and Afterlife Research. They've joined me this time together to discuss their joint article, “Understanding Reality Shifting as a New Online-based Spiritual Practice.” In Part One of this episode, we're exploring the fascinating world of Reality Shifting—a practice where individuals use ‘scripting' and intention to move their consciousness to a Desired Reality. But this isn't just about internet subcultures; it's also an examination and critique of our current reality and how we view what is Real vs what is Fiction. We discuss how Shifting acts, not as escapism, but as a form of serious play, where personal narratives create new facts in an era of 'fake news' and 'deep fakes'.

What does it take to close 230 purchase units in your first year as a loan originator? For Andy Beigel, it started with one obsession: practice. While every other LO chased refi money in 2020, Andy was cold-calling realtors on Zoom — building a purchase pipeline from scratch. By year-end, he had 230 units. By 2025, he had $93M in personal production and a $250M branch he built from zero in Columbus, Ohio. In this episode, Andy breaks down: → His word-for-word rate objection rebuttal → The first 30 seconds of every intake call (scripted — every time) → The 2-step realtor conversion process behind his book of business → The "positive feedback loop" secret that lets you delegate without losing agents → What he looks for in recruits (hint: not experience) → How a 22-year-old he hired now closes 125+ units a year. His philosophy: do 100 small things 1% better than everyone else, and you're 100% superior at game time. Special episode: Guest host Greg Sher of NFM Lending pinch-hits for Geoff Zimpfer, who is battling cancer.

With nearly four decades of experience, Ed Laine shares how to engage spring sellers before the competition does. He explains why most homeowners think about selling for over a year before listing—and how agents can step in early as trusted market advisors instead of just listing agents. This session covers spring timelines, strategy sessions vs. listing appointments, smart pricing through “price bracketing,” and creating visibility that drives competition. Ed also dives into seller inspections, home prep conversations, and communication tactics that build confidence and set realistic expectations. If you want to dominate the spring market, it starts with the conversations you're having right now.
During Scripting Fridays on the Agent Power Huddle, Ed introduced an exciting opportunity for agents: REMLO (Real Estate Mortgage Loan Officer). Drawing from his 30+ years in real estate and mortgage lending, Ed shared how agents can become licensed loan officers through Texana Bank, creating an additional income stream while continuing to practice real estate. The program allows agents to originate loans with the support of a dedicated loan partner, earn 50–60 basis points per transaction, and operate nationwide under the bank's federal charter. Ed emphasized the streamlined onboarding process and the strong compliance structure in place. The discussion also covered practical considerations—from managing inspections and underwriting communication to addressing lender pushback and RESPA concerns. Ed reinforced that the program is fully compliant and positioned as a value-add service for clients. The session wrapped with a reminder that opportunities like this are about diversification, service, and long-term growth—plus a look at Ed's custom GPT tool, WhatWouldEdSay.com, for scripting and strategy support.
Northern Michigan Head Coach Matt Majkrzak joins Slappin' Glass for a deep dive into how structure can actually create freedom.Coach Majkrzak walks through Northern Michigan's unique approach to scripting games in four-minute segments, pairing substitution patterns with offensive play calls to give players clarity, confidence, and rhythm. Rather than scripting to control players, the goal is to simplify decisions early, allowing creativity, reads, and flow to emerge naturally as possessions unfold.The conversation explores how layered offense evolves from simple foundations—like cross-screen/down-screen—into modern blends of Princeton concepts, ball screens, staggers, and motion, all while ending in familiar spacing that helps players play fast and free.Majkrzak also shares insights on fixing flat starts, teaching lock-left defense, crashing the offensive glass with five, and why celebrating “play busts” accelerates player growth more than perfect execution ever could.A practical, thought-provoking episode on teaching players how to think, not just where to stand.What You'll LearnHow to script games in four-minute segments that align lineups, substitutions, and play callsWhy scripting can reduce pressure on players while increasing confidence and decision-makingHow layered offense evolves from simple actions into flow, reads, and freedomPractical ways to fix flat starts without panic or over-adjustingWhy celebrating “play busts” can accelerate offensive growthTo join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 60 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

In this episode, we're discussing the process of breaking out of your old story and identity, and practical ways to shift. The first step is to become aware of the current story you're telling about yourself: we can do this through an exercise called "the unconscious critic". Once we're aware of our internal world, and who we're currently operating as, we can begin to wire in a new identity. One practice to help with this is called scripting. This is where you begin to write down the new version of you: Who is the best version of you? What are their behaviors? How do they spend their day? Getting clear on this will help you start to take the right actions that will transform you into the person you want to become. As always, if you'd like help navigating this process, the 1:1 schedule is below! 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule https://hoo.be/patmahan CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/
