Seahawks OTAs kick off this week, so as the team gets together there are some key storylines and nuggets that we're going to be on the lookout for. The rookie form of Grey Zabel is high on that list along with the focus on quarterback and what we're hearing about Sam Darnold, versus Drew Lock versus Jalen Milroe. Could Lock's experience with this team give him an edge over the other two quarterbacks in the way they interact as a team? Defensively, we talk about some of the key things we want to hear about along the defensive line, despite their inability to put on pad and bang around like we see in the preseason. List season creep has begun. Usually it waits until after OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, but we have a couple lists where Sam Darnold makes an appearance. We talk about where he ranks out on the PFF list of 32 NFL starting quarterbacks and the top 10 most risky free agent signings. We also talk about why two former Seahawks are above Darnold on both lists and how it may lead the way for how the media views this Seahawks roster until the start of the season. In the second half of the show, we discuss a few of the rules changes. The NFL has expanded the number of plays that can be reviewed, but only if a flag is thrown. Touchbacks are now coming out to the 35-yard line. If teams and kickers don't start putting the ball in the landing zone, should the NFL penalize teams the same as when they kick it out of bounds? In the Do Better segment, we get into one other list that calls out one move the Seahawks should make and Amazon is password protecting the ability for people to change the time on their devices. Closing the show with Better at Life, we talk about the scientists behind the James Webb telescope and a former Seahawks player who is now an author on the subject of gardening.

With a vote of 22-10, NFL owners fell 2 votes short of the mandatory 24 votes to "Ban the Tush Push." Some are surprised that Seattle ownership voted to ban it. Everyone has an opinion, no one seems to remember NFL history, and we'll be talking about the league's most infamous play. Should it or shouldn't it be banned? Plus, we get into the other NFL rules that were changed or upheld this week. And finally, are there any rules or changes to the game that should be on the NFL's radar? We get into it on this week's show. Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

The excitement of the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 schedule release is nearly here! We know the opponents, but we don't know when we play them. We talk about the dynamics that would go into the perfect 2025 Seahawks schedule based on when we'd like to face certain teams and weather considerations early and late in the year. Which away game would we most like to head to, and which city does Clinton want to avoid so he doesn't get mugged? We talk about potential matchups against the Vikings, Saints, and division rivals like the 49ers and Rams. Also, are the Seahawks about to start dropping season ticket holders that sell a majority of their tickets and will it be an effective strategy to maintain a home field advantage?

We're exploring the intriguing world of fourth down strategies in the NFL, particularly as they relate to the Seattle Seahawks. With the draft behind us, we discuss how the team's recent draft picks, including Jalen Milroe and Damien Martinez, could impact the team's approach to critical fourth down situations. With data metrics and trends from around the league, we talk about the evolving mindset of NFL coaches regarding fourth downs and how it correlates with team success. Can the team make a push toward greater fourth down success or should we just hope that our team can score in the first three downs? Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Many people nearing retirement focus on their portfolios but neglect one of the most important components of a fulfilling life—genuine human connection.

In this episode, SHP Financial's Derek Gregoire and Matthew Peck welcome keynote speaker, author, and professional gift giver John Israel—also known as Mr. Thank You. After launching a social experiment in which he hand-wrote five thank-you cards a day for a year, John uncovered profound insights into how deeper human connections are all about feeling seen, safe, and supported. His Mr. Thank You Project has since inspired thousands of people and companies to create cultures of gratitude and authenticity. In our conversation, you'll hear the science behind why it's easy to focus on the negative, how vulnerability leads to stronger relationships, and how you can use gratitude—even in tough times—to unlock personal and business growth and foster deeper connections.

In the aftermath of the 2025 NFL Draft, we're getting into the excitement surrounding the Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp and some of the latest comments from our new players. We dial in on the implications and critiques of the 2025 draft class, highlighting standout picks like Jalen Milroe and Gray Zabel, while also managing expectations. Why did the Seahawks go away from the defense or focus on more depth along the offensive line earlier in the draft? What went into the selection of a fullback in round 5? Each of the players had a chance to take questions from reporters on the podium at minicamp. We feature some of the top quotes from their interviews. Mike Macdonald talked about the energy that Milroe brought to the field. Nick Emmanwori sounds like he's going to fit right in with the veteran defensive backs. Finally, is a battle between the Midwest and the South part of the plan? In the second half of the show, we discuss draft grades and some of the concerns and criticisms about the class. In Do Better we talk about the concept of a 'National Park City' and the importance of the correct use of a subheading. Better at life nominees go to a company that went beyond something we thought we'd have from Back to the Future by now. We close by thanking a long-time listener and friend of the show.

BUILD A GREENER FUTURE:

The Seattle Seahawks have brought back Drew Lock ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. It raises questions about the future of Sam Howell, and if there is any potential for trade compensation with a crowded quarterback room. General Manager John Schneider and Coach Mike Macdonald spoke at the pre-draft press conference on Monday and confirmed trade talks surrounding Howell. We talk about some of the parallels with the 2012 offseason and how Seattle could still consider a QB in the draft based on that history. Plus, is it a "lazy narrative" that the Seahawks need to address the offensive line? We have two final interviews to share from the 2025 Shrine Bowl. Kyonte Hamilton of Rutgers was a late invite to the game and is being touted as a late-round value pick. The big man on the interior sounds like he'd be a locker room fit for any team. He talks about how his wrestling experience plays into his game on the defensive line. Marcus Wehr of Montana State held his own against the top talent the Shrine Bowl had to offer. He talks about how he once got annoyed by the Idaho football team's inability to shower. We close the show with a discussion about our biggest draft day fear and whether or not we think John Schneider is more likely to trade up or to trade down. The availability of lumber and the hype around the Minecraft movie leading to the downfall of society are targeted in the Do Better Segment. Better at Life honors go to John Cena and WrestleMania for this past weekend and to Aaron Rodgers for toying with the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise these last couple months.

The Seattle Seahawks could look toward three Alabama prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. With three players likely to go in the early rounds, including the intriguing guard Tyler Booker and the highly touted linebacker Jihaad Campbell, we talk about what each player could bring to Seattle. The preference for each player can even shed light how the team could approach the draft: best player available, biggest need, or positional value that has the most potential to future success of the franchise. Roll Bama Roll managing editor Brent Taylor shares his insights on two of the top projected Alabama prospects and his thoughts on quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe is one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects in this year's draft coming off a rollercoaster season. What shortcomings would he have to rebound from to be the kind of pro quarterback we saw flashes from in college? Lastly, we get into other Alabama prospects to watch and a couple names who were at the school in previous seasons and transferred out.  Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Offensive line may represent the biggeest need for the Seahawks, but the tight end spot isn't far behind. It's even considered to be the third most likely position for Seattle to draft in the first round. Position expert Max Toscano from Remember the Tight Ends joins the show to explore the Seahawks potential draft strategies and the tight end prospects that could be game-changers for the team. Max has a particular affinite for a couple of tandout players like Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland, but there are several later on in the draft who could come in and help make an impact.  Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

The aerospace supply chain with the co-founder and CEO of a manufacturing startup, the Airbus A350 production outlook, GE Aerospace Catalyst turboprop certification, a Senate bill to boost the ATC workforce, a call for retired controllers to return to the job, and KC-46 tanker cracks. Guest Vishal R. Sanghavi has been a leader in the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry for nearly two decades. He co-founded Jeh Aerospace in 2022 with his long-time colleague Venkatesh Mudragalla. This US-based company manufactures aerospace and defense components. Vishal describes the reasons for the current aerospace supply chain problems and the demand/supply gap. He notes structural issues such as the difficulty obtaining and retaining workers, inflation, and lack of supply chain transparency. Easing these problems can partly be addressed by viewing supply relationships strategically rather than transactionally. Vishal tells us why OEMs don't vertically integrate more than they do, and how quality is assured throughout the supply chain. Vishal is on a mission to build Jeh Aerospace into a technology-driven manufacturing company that will deliver quality parts 10x faster, better, and cheaper. Jeh looks to transform the field with talent and technology creating a digitally native organization that provides data for advanced analytics. Vishal explains factors that influence geographic locations for manufacturing facilities, such as access to talent, cost efficiencies, where the large markets are. Vishal's entrepreneurial journey began at the Indian business conglomerate Tata Group, where he built and led large multimillion-dollar businesses and became one of the youngest Chief Experience Officers for the group. He spearheaded numerous aerospace businesses during his tenure, including the Tata Boeing Joint Venture (JV), Tata Sikorsky JV, and Tata Lockheed JV, which manufactures large and complex aerospace systems. Before that, Vishal honed his skills at TCS, where he consulted Fortune 100 companies on business processes and technology.  Vishal is an electronics and telecommunication engineer educated at RAIT, Mumbai University, and is currently pursuing the Smart Manufacturing Program at MIT. Vishal was selected for the TAS program, Tata Group's premium leadership cadre, and nominated by Boeing for its Organizational Leadership Program at the Boeing Leadership Center (BLC) in St. Louis. He is a certified Gold Assessor of the Tata Business Excellence Model, based on the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award. Aviation News Supply Chain Challenges Limit A350 Production to Six Aircraft Per Month, A350F Deliveries Delayed to 2027 Airbus had originally intended to produce about nine A350s per month in 2025. Now it looks like six per month is the most that can be expected. Also, the A350F launch is pushed out to 2027. Supply chain disruptions, including those from component supplier Spirit Aerosystems, are cited as the problem. Airbus reports that the A350 family has 1,363 firm orders from 60 customers, with 644 aircraft delivered as of January 2025. Firm orders for the A350F stood at 63.

I'm just going to stop saying ‘ESG.' But the idea that for my basic product, I want to be water positive, I want to have a circular economy on my packaging, and I want to grow our business with less sugar—you can call it anything you like, but no one with common sense says those are bad ideas.“My business strategy is constant and clear and centered around the business and the things that consumers care about and that fix societal problems. If people want to attach labels to it, that's their issue. I'm saying this business will be great if I fix these problems, and it will be good for shareholders and be good for society.”Coca-Cola's Lead Independent Director and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee chair Maria Elena Lagomasino: maybe some of the woke messaging of Disney movies altered her conscience?Female board power at Coke: 49% influenceMATT1Ryder's $2.5M Settlement Brings 4-Year Governance Overhaul: What's Changing for Shareholders - suit alleged Ryder's management team and board artificially inflated the values of certain Ryder assets and made materially misleading statements regarding those values - suit alleged breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. Board has to create a Corporate Risk Steering Committee, company must hire a Chief Compliance Officer, a Management-level “Disclosure Committee”, at least two Audit Committee members must be financial experts, they have to hire a third party to do market research, they have to have a “pricing” team to examine market prices, they have a clawback, and they have a non-retaliation policy.CEO Robert Sanchez - CEO since 2013, the Man in the ChairThe Audit Committee - a FIVE person audit committee, all of whom they disclosed in 2020 were “financial experts”, all but one of whom was a CEO at another company that made them a “financial expert” (the fifth was an accounting professor), one of whom was the lead independent director who had been there since 2002Dmitri Stockton! The director who now has the wonderful distinction of having sat on the Deere board the flipped on DEI, the Target board that flipped on DEI, Stanley Black and Decker who was sued for not disclosing executive perks, and the Ryder board who was sued for sucking at being a board - all while he was there!DEI! Dmitri Stockton is BLACK and Robert Sanchez SOUNDS MEXICAN!US Steel Flags Trump DEI Order as Risk Factor for InvestorsRacist old white guys and tech bros! The order was written, ostensibly, by Stephen Miller, Trump, and Musk, the three horseman of the brownpocolypse, and US Steel is now including Trump's DEI order as a material risk to the companyThe lawyers! The company said in its annual report last year that it aims “to have an engaged and diverse workforce to promote new ideas and innovation, reflect the communities where we operate, and deliver exceptional customer service.” This year, that same sentence omitted a reference to having a “diverse” workforce. That sounds like Duane D. Holloway, chief ethics and compliance officer and general counsel, right?DEI! Duane Holloway… is BLACK! Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School. He also serves as Executive Sponsor of U. S. Steel's SteelPARENTS Employee Resource Group. That all sounds exceedingly woke and DEIish.The board! US Steel managed to find 8 white males for their 12 person board, 3 white woman, and 1 black woman… so people of color have a whopping 6% influence on the board. It DOES feel risky to talk about them though, right?Walgreens stock plunges. Its dividend payout changes are to blameRoz Brewer! She was a DEI hire after all, right? Can't we pin this on her tenure as fake CEO?Steffano Pessina! The man with 61% of board influence, the man who fired Roz Brewer, the man who we'll find out today won re-election despite cratering the company as executive chair!DEI! Did you see this line in the announcement about the dividend cessation? “In fiscal 2024, WBA scored 100% on the Disability Equality Index for disability inclusion”. SO WOKE.

Bitcoin and digital assets are among the most debated, complex, and controversial asset classes on the market today. Despite being a polarizing topic, nobody can deny their growing importance in global finance and even in Trump's administration in the White House. That's why we're thrilled to have Ryan Lessard, a Digital Asset Strategist from Fidelity, on the podcast today. Ryan shares his expertise in this emerging asset class to unpack Bitcoin's unique characteristics, including its capped supply of 21 million coins, the blockchain technology behind it, and how it compares to traditional assets like gold.  In our conversation, we discussed why Bitcoin has primarily appealed to younger investors and is particularly relevant in countries with economic instability and hyperinflation. We also explored Bitcoin's potential to diversify portfolios while addressing the challenges, the rapid pace of technological advancements, and the importance of staying curious and continually learning about this evolving space.

Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarından itibaren bir tür ıslah etme projeksiyonu üzerinden ilerleyen ve İsmet Paşa'nın da raporunda da somut biçimde gözlemlenen “sorun algısı” süreç içerisinde önemli ölçüde değişiklikler gösterdi. Celal Bayar'ın görece özgürlükçü bir tonda kaleme aldığı rapor ve 1970'lerde TİP aracılığıyla Kürtler üzerine yapılan politik vurgular, anlamlı bir stratejiye dönüşememiştir. 1980'deki darbeyle farklı bir evreye giren ve PKK'nın varlığı ile çok daha karmaşık parametrelere bağlı hale gelen sorunlar, Özal iktidarı ve 80'lerin sonundaki SHP raporu ile tekrar gündem olabilmiştir.

Losing your spouse, especially suddenly or in retirement, is a devastating yet common aspect of life. It's a painful and emotional life event, which makes it very difficult for married couples to plan for, especially from a taxation standpoint. That's why we created our Retirement Road Map, designed for all five areas of your financial well-being. From income, investments, taxes, healthcare, and legacy planning–we're here to support our clients so they're prepared when facing life-changing circumstances.  Today, Keith Ellis, Jr is joined by two advisors from SHP, Joe Anderson and Anthony Finocchiaro, to talk about what happens when a spouse passes away and what we do with our clients to ensure that the surviving spouse is taken care of.  We discuss the immediate impacts of death on your finances, how to plan for the unexpected to protect yourself in emotionally trying times, and how to organize your estate at any time in your life to preserve your legacy. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why losing a spouse rarely cuts the living expenses in half.  What you can do to take financial uncertainty out of this worst case scenario.  How the best financial advisors minimize the overwhelm that people face when losing a spouse and life partner. The two goals of any good financial plan.  The tax conversations you should be having with your advisor now to protect yourself in retirement.  Want the Full Show Notes?

Jon Rosser, Chair of the Single Homeless Project, on the systemic undercounting of women experiencing homelessness. Overview: In this eye-opening episode of the Do One Better Podcast, Alberto Lidji sits down with Jon Rosser, Chair of the Single Homeless Project, to delve into the pressing issue of homelessness in the UK, with a particular focus on the systemic undercounting of women experiencing homelessness. Key Discussion Points: Introduction to SHP: The Single Homeless Project operates in London, supporting homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness. Founded by a group of homeless people 40 years ago, SHP has grown to support over 10,000 individuals annually with a dedicated staff of 700. Current State of Homelessness in the UK: Despite various interventions, homelessness numbers are rising due to housing shortages, affordability issues, and inadequate social housing. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic showed that it is possible to house everyone if the will and resources are available. Gender Disparity in Homelessness Counts: Traditional counting methods underreport the number of homeless women, who often avoid streets due to vulnerability and safety concerns. A new gender-informed approach reveals a much higher number of homeless women, many of whom resort to dangerous alternatives to sleeping on the streets. Challenges Faced by Homeless Women: Many homeless women face domestic violence, mental health issues, and the need for safe, gender-specific accommodation. There is a significant gap in the support services provided to these women, who often fall through the cracks of traditional systems. Policy Implications and Recommendations: The need for more accurate counting methods and gender-aware policies to ensure homeless women receive adequate support. Advocacy for increased women-only accommodations and better safety measures in mixed facilities. Encouraging local authorities and philanthropists to invest in resources for a comprehensive homeless count and support services. Jon Rosser's Journey: From social housing to international work with Voluntary Service Overseas and Save the Children, Jon's career has been dedicated to addressing housing and homelessness issues. Now, as Chair of SHP, Jon continues his mission to support vulnerable populations, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to tackling homelessness.

We kick off Ani-May in classic SHP style, a week late and a man down.  That won't stop us from trying to figure out what Fooly Cooly means though.

The thought of children sleeping on a hard floor is heartbreaking but not as uncommon as you may think. Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) has a goal of providing newly constructed beds and full bed linens for these children. Chandler Wiggins, a rising college senior at the University of Florida and TeenPact Alumnus, started a SHP chapter in Gainesville, FL, because he wanted to make a difference in the lives of these children, and he's doing just that! Tune in to listen to how a busy college student felt called by God to bring this ministry to his community. You'll be inspired and encouraged to hear how Chandler and his team bless so many families. If you're interested in donating to SHP, please visit their website.

As a parent, it's never too early to start talking to your kids about money. Before you know it, they'll be going off to college and getting their first job as a young adult.

Today's episode will help prepare you for some of those questions. We're excited to introduce our audience to Mike Guthrie. Mike is a Financial Advisor at SHP and has over 25 years of experience in finance and financial planning.

We'll discuss employer benefits that might be available to them, the difference between a traditional and Roth 401(k), and what types of investments they should consider within those plans. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: The value of saving early with compounding interest. How to start the process of teaching your kids about managing expenses. The difference between a traditional and Roth 401(k). How Target Date Funds work and why they are attractive for young investors.

Ann Kepner is a member of the Core Team for the Huntsville, AL chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace - a non-profit that fully believes that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs. When it was brought to their attention that the need for beds went far beyond their own neighborhoods, they stepped up and took initiative. SHP is a national organization answering the call to a national problem. All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Idaho and across the U.S., too many boys and girls go without a bed – or even a pillow – to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health. That's where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in. They are a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. The SHP organization has grown steadily over time, and they're working on opening more chapters in different states to serve more people. NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN!®.

Share buybacks and stock compensation, the bad and the ugly Share buybacks are good right? The company uses their free cash to buyback shares which reduces the number of remaining shares such that each share has a higher claim over future profits which adds to their value. Further they're tax efficient in that paying dividends results in dividend tax. BUT; Firstly, in cyclical stocks you need to be buying back at lows, not highs and the companies usually have no free cash at lows, so either they don't buy back or they do so at highs when they have the cash. Horrid value destruction. Secondly, some companies are buying back but also issuing new shares to staff, at times at a rate faster or similar to what they're buying back. This is then effectively an underhand salary to staff. This is especially an issue with large tech stocks, see examples below. Thirdly, new share issues are considered non-cash, but ultimately they are cash as you gave somebody real shares that have future claim on profits. Fourthly, often acquisitiosn are done with stock increasing the outstanding shares. Many will see this as a free deal as shares don't cost. But they do cost as they reduce every other shares value and if the company has been buybacks, well then they paid cash for those shares, just indirectly. Locally we do see buybacks, but share issues are relatively small so the impact is less shares and more value per share. Using IFRS accounting diluted HEPS uses the share count of all outstanding shares PLUS all promised shares not yet delivered. These are basically options that could become shares and gives a way better reflection of the profit, even thugh not yet issued they will potentially come to makret and be issued.

Did we finish Shiny Happy People? Yes, but did Shannon's ADHD force us to move on to a newer and more exciting documentary before recording the last SHP episode? Also, yes!! Was Chloe a little thrown by this last minute change...umm...yep. Today we are discussing the docuseries "548 Days: Abducted Online" on Hulu. It's a terrifying story about Patricia Aguilar being lured into a cult online. Because she's newly 18 years old - the authorities, of course, cannot do much to help track her down leaving her family to literally do all the work to get her home. Sources - the documentary itself with a little help from Wiki to pin down a timeline. Follow us on: www.instagram.com/truecrimefamilypod Email: shannoninreality@gmail.com

In light of the Amazon hit series Shiny Happy People, this week's episode is about deconstructing legalism - and how to rebuild your faith when it all feels so messy. We look at progressive and conservative fundamentalism, why "check list" holiness is so deceitful and how to find true freedom on the other side.

Once per month, we're going to release a special episode with one of our Triad members that highlights their story and shares the lessons learned from building and scaling an advisory practice. My goal is to have genuine conversations that dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly so that we can help as many other offices out there who are listening in. This week, I'm talking with the co-founders of SHP Financial: Matthew Peck, Derek Gregoire, and Keith Ellis. Last year alone, their team brought in $250M of new assets—one-third of which came from client referrals. And the best part? They've avoided falling into the trap of “more growth = more work.” Today, we will deconstruct how they went from being the only 3 revenue producers in the firm, carrying the weight of everything on their shoulders, to building and scaling a team that freed up their time and allowed them to create ultimate freedom in their business and life. 3 of the biggest insights from this episode … #1 The power of a proprietary process—and how SHP used one to create better solutions for their clients, differentiate themselves from their competition, and build a business that's exploded in growth. #2 Why growing your business does not have to come at the cost of your time and freedom. #3 What it takes to build a revolving door of client referrals. For SHP, ~$80M of new assets came from client referrals in 2022 - and you'll hear exactly what caused that.
