Vision is common. The discipline to execute is rare. Do you have it? In today's Episode, hosts Clark Lunt and David Shaw sit down with Shaye Wali, a former tennis champion turned entrepreneur. Shaye details his extraordinary transition from the world of professional sports to the fast-paced sectors of private lending and software development. As the founder and CEO of Baseline, a revolutionary software platform, he shares the pivotal moments and challenges that shaped his career, offering valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs. Shaye's story is one of focus and resilience. He recounts the immense dedication required to rebuild the tennis program at Tulane University, a testament to his early leadership and determination and desire to travel the road less paved. This experience, he explains, laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. Following his passion for finance, he began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he gained a deep understanding of capital markets and real estate investments. However, the entrepreneurial spirit beckoned. Shaye identified a significant gap in the private lending market, an industry often bogged down by inefficiencies and outdated processes. This realization was the catalyst for his move into entrepreneurship. He emphasizes that the ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of real estate and private lending was crucial to his success. This journey culminated in the creation of Baseline, a cutting-edge software designed to streamline the entire private lending process. "We built Baseline to empower lenders," Wali states. "Our goal is to provide a seamless, efficient platform that allows them to manage their operations, from loan origination to servicing, with greater ease and accuracy." The software aims to enhance efficiency, improve data management, and ultimately help private lenders scale their businesses. Shaye's narrative serves as a powerful example of how skills honed in one discipline can be successfully transferred to another. His journey from the tennis court to the boardroom highlights the universal importance of focus, the courage to pivot, and the drive to innovate.

In this solo episode of Casual Cattle Conversations, Shaye Koester-Wanner addresses a feeling many ranchers know all too well—feeling behind. She explores why that mindset exists, how it relates to the entrepreneurial nature of ranching, and how shifting your perspective can lead to greater satisfaction and measurable progress. Shaye shares actionable advice for setting clear goals, practicing self-reflection, and celebrating milestones—no matter how small. If you're a rancher driven to succeed but often feel stuck or behind, this episode is a reminder that your progress deserves recognition. Key Takeaways: Ranchers share traits with high-performing entrepreneurs. Progress should be measured backward, not forward. Writing down goals helps you realize when you've surpassed them. Celebrating achievements builds morale and motivation. Success should be defined on your own terms.

In July 2022, a 27-year-old single mom from England named Shaye Groves, was convicted of murdering her boyfriend, 25-year-old Frankie Fitzgerald. Shaye had an obsessive fascination with serial killers, true crime documentaries, and r*pe fantasy, and her walls were adorned with framed pictures of notorious serial killers whom she "admired." Horrifyingly, after discovering some messages on Frankie's phone, Shaye went on to brutally stab him 17 times. In the aftermath of the murder, Shaye then attempted to fabricate a narrative that portrayed herself as a victim of sexual violence. She even went so far as to manipulate/edit intimate video footage from her bedroom to make previously agreed-upon "consensual non-consensual" (CNC) sex acts appear like assault. This is not a clear cut case involving a crime of passion. It's about a disturbing fixation that metastasized, and a woman who walked the line between fandom and bloodlust…and then crossed it with a blade.

In this episode I discuss the inherently political nature of the second Jewish temple and the Sanhedrin, which was the local governing body based out of Jerusalem who were threatened by the ministry of Jesus. I explain how ‘religion' is a modern category and that before the Enlightenment wasn't distinguished from politics, society, or economics, and how passages in the Gospels that address the conflict between Jesus and the Jerusalem elites have often been read as purely ‘religious' conflicts. Exploring the work done by scholar Shaye Cohen on the Temple and the Sanhedrin, I show how both served a political and social function that was consistent with the decentralized nature of Roman imperial rule. We then explore several passages in the gospel of Mark which, when read within their historical contexts, should be understood as addressing social and political, as well as theological, conflicts between Jesus, the ruling elites, and the second Temple.
