Podcasts about Six days

Do tanque e do porta-aviões do século XX aos drones baratos que destroem tanques de milhões, da IA que escolhe alvos em segundos (Lavender, Maven, Claude Mythos) aos robôs que já caminham no campo de batalha: neste episódio mergulhamos na maior revolução da tecnologia de guerra dos últimos 100 anos. Do “laboratório” da Ucrânia de drones FPV e fibra óptica, a IA transformou a decisão de matar em algoritmo, passando pela guerra de narrativas com deepfakes que ninguém mais sabe o que é real e o que está acontecendo. Guerra mais eficiente significa guerra melhor… ou só mais frequente e impessoal? Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

Part 4 - In the Beginning: Time, Space, Matter | A Sensational Six Days | Creation 2 Corinthians 1:20: "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." The promises of God have never failed. Not once. Not ever. The Bible says in Joshua 21:45, "There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass." That is not merely a statement about Israel's history. That is a testimony concerning God's character. When God speaks, He speaks truth. When God promises, He performs. When God gives His Word, He binds His own name and nature to the fulfilment of that Word. Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

 Alex Rossino on "Before September: The Origin of the 1862 Maryland Campaign" For more info: www.chicagocwrt.org. History records the September 1862 Confederate operation in Maryland as a military campaign designed and initiated solely by General Robert E. Lee, but what if Lee's crossing of the Potomac River had been planned much further in advance? In addition, what if the motives for the invasion commonly ascribed to Lee are only partially correct? In this talk, Dr. Alex Rossino provides extensive evidence documenting the true origin of Lee's Maryland operation in the summer of 1861 and the role in its evolution played by other key individuals, such as Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Joe Johnston, and General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, played in its evolution. The result is a re-evaluation of the origin of the 1862 Maryland Campaign that reveals Lee's actual reasons for crossing the Potomac and clarifies the invasion's place in the development of Confederate grand strategy during the first year and a half of the American Civil War. A resident of historic Charles Town, West Virginia, Dr. Alex Rossino is an independent historian and author. He earned Master's and Doctoral degrees in History at Syracuse University before working for nine years as a historian at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Dr. Rossino turned his attention to the American Civil War in 2011 and, after several years of research, produced Six Days in September: A Novel of Lee's Army in Maryland, September 1862. The book proved to be popular among historians and enthusiasts alike, leading to a sequel titled The Guns of September: A Novel of McClellan's Army in Maryland, September 1862, published in September 2024. Dr. Rossino also returned to writing history, producing Their Maryland: The Army of Northern Virginia from the Potomac Crossing to Sharpsburg in September 1862 and co-authoring with Gene Thorp The Tale Untwisted: General George B. McClellan, The Maryland Campaign, and the Discovery of Lee's Lost Orders, which came out in January 2023. His most recent history, Calamity at Frederick: Robert E. Lee, Special Orders No. 191, and Confederate Misfortune on the Road to Antietam (October 2023), completed his in-depth study of the Lost Orders saga from the Confederate perspective, along with an ebook on the document's handwriting to identify the author, titled, Who Wrote the Lost Copy of Robert E. Lee's Special Orders No. 191: A Handwriting Analysis Companion to Calamity at Frederick in October 2025. 

The ASX 200 fell as resource stocks and financials dragged the market lower, extending a losing streak that has wiped out recent gains. A strong US dollar pressured commodity prices and gold miners, while mixed employment data reduced expectations for near-term interest rate increases. Banks also retreated, with Judo Capital among notable fallers. Defensive healthcare stocks provided some support as markets await US inflation data and monitor global tech sentiment.

On August 21, 1976, ten-year-old Angelo "Andy" Puglisi called home from the Higgins Memorial Swimming Pool in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to let his family know everything was fine. By 5:45 p.m., a lifeguard caught the final confirmed glimpse of Andy walking around the pool area in his green swim trunks. He never returned home. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Clear History (2013) Director: Greg Mottola Cast: Larry David, Michael Keaton, Bill Hader, Jon HammWhat happens when you take a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, forget to trim the fat, and stretch it into a feature film? You get Clear History — and honestly? It's still kind of great, even if it refuses to be anything other than exactly what it is.This week John and Sean dive deep into this 2013 HBO gem, requested by Patreon member Greg (host of You Can Eat That Crust and Pizza Bones), where Larry David plays a man who gives up a billion-dollar stake in an electric car company over a name, disappears to Martha's Vineyard, and plots revenge against the guy who got rich off his stupidity. You know — totally relatable stuff.In this episode, we discuss:Larry David Playing Larry David (Again) — The guys break down why this movie is essentially an uncut Curb episode with a different character name slapped on it. Is that a bad thing? Is that a great thing? The answer is: yes, and also both.They Didn't Trim the Fat — A deep dive into what separates a tight 40-minute Curb episode from a 100-minute movie that wanders into dead spots. Spoiler: it's editing discipline, and this movie didn't have enough of it.Joe Stumpo Steals the Whole Damn Movie — Michael Keaton shows up playing the town drunk on Martha's Vineyard and absolutely runs off with every scene he's in. Sean makes the case that Keaton is the unsung MVP of this entire production, and it's hard to argue with him."I Know There Aren't Any Women That Have It" — The guys land on the single funniest line in the movie, a throwaway bit about old bald guy fetishes and prison demographics that somehow perfectly encapsulates everything Larry David is as a comedian.We Also Talked About:WWE Legends: Legion of Doom (Amazon) (Biography Special) — Sean watched the documentary on Hawk and Animal, and it goes places. Specifically: a deeply emotional story about a penlight on a fishing boat that Nikita Koloff somehow turned into a religious experience. You have to hear it to believe it.The Boys (Amazon) (Season Finale) — Sean finished the series finale and loved it. No spoilers, but he makes a pointed observation about a show that commentates on superhero movie culture while simultaneously spinning off into... more superhero content.Faces of Death (Amazon) (2026 Remake) — A surprisingly solid new take on the concept, reframed around a content moderator on a fake social media platform stumbling onto recreated snuff-style videos. Sean gives it half a hot dog and means it as a compliment.Magnum Opus (Ebay) (Youtube) (The Movie) — Directed by friend of the show Addison Bennick (Psycho Ape I & II), this DIY Jackass-style movie is a 20-year labor of love and John genuinely digs it. Available through Addison's eBay store — physically, like a lunatic, the way movies should be sold.Six Days to Air (Youtube)— The South Park documentary. John finally watched it. Trey Parker and Matt Stone spend most of the six days doing absolutely nothing, and it's riveting.Dead Man on Campus (Amazon) (1998) — Mark-Paul Gosselaar in a movie about two college kids trying to get their suicidal roommate to actually do it so they can pass their classes. Even by 1998 standards, John was a little stunned this got a theatrical release. No Jeremy Piven, though, so it edges out PCU.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

We hear from the man who survived for nearly a week on one of the most dangerous parts of Mount Everest with little food, no water and few supplies. Dawa Sherpa became separated from his group after running out of oxygen during bad weather and his family had begun mourning his death. But, after six days, he was found by a cleaning crew, crawling and sliding his way back to base camp.Also: The teenager who was surprised to find his exam paper included a poem he'd inspired. It had been written by his mum several years earlier. How an art student from Germany ended up in charge of a Swedish island. The US singer Barry Manilow returns to the stage after overcoming lung cancer. Plus the boy who can impersonate the calls of more than a hundred birds; and the mysterious knitted toys that have been popping up around an English village.

This episode is supported by Kava Haven, Goodr, and Batch. Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Megan Eckert. Meg recently finished third overall among women at the 2025 Cocodona 250, running one of the fastest times in race history. She's an ultrarunner, coach, teacher, and one of the most accomplished endurance athletes in the sport. In 2025, she ran 603 miles, surpassing 600 miles in six days and setting a world record pending ratification. She also finished second at Badwater 135 and continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in ultrarunning. One of the most fascinating parts of Meg's story is that she didn't discover running until she was 29 years old. What started with a goal of breaking two hours in her first half marathon quickly grew into a passion for ultras, trail running, and eventually some of the longest races in the world. In this conversation, Meg shares how she approaches races as long as Cocodona, why she focuses on competing against herself rather than other runners, how she balances teaching sixth-grade math with elite ultrarunning, and what she's learned from spending days at a time moving through mountains, deserts, and remote wilderness. We also talk about sleep strategy, hallucinations, training for six-day races, the value of recovery, and why she continues to pursue goals that have a real chance of failure. Thank you to Mount to Coast for supporting this episode. Their new C1 Super Trainer is designed for long miles, everyday training, and durability that goes the distance.

Their C1 shoe is designed with long-distance comfort in mind, offering substantial cushioning that holds up over extended efforts on the road. The brand's approach reflects a commitment to endurance, creativity, and meeting runners where they are, whether that's chasing a personal best or taking on something entirely outside the norm.

Send us Fan MailThey say that a game is well-officiated when you don't even notice the referees or umpires. I sure can't say that about this NBA Finals, where the officiating has been atrocious. But if you've ever run an ultramarathon, especially a multiday race, and didn't notice the timer, it might have been because that was Mike Melton of MCM Timing, the absolute best in the business. I inherited Mike for the American Heroes Run after David unexpectedly passed away less than four months before the race and I suddenly took up the mantle of race director, and boy, did I get lucky because Mike ensured that not only would the race not miss a beat in the transition, but I've had a partner ever since that has helped me maintain the highest quality in the race running smoothly, with accurate timing and results. Mike and his company have timed everything from 5Ks to many of the most significant ultras in North America, including the Barkley Marathons, Big's Backyard Ultra, Six Days in the Dome, Across the Years, the Keys 100, and many more. In fact, he is on the road in his Sprinter van that has 500,000 miles on it for 265 days a year. He has seen it all and has some great stories to tell here. In fact, so many that I have split this conversation into two parts. Mike also shares his origin story in the timing business and as a runner. Many might not know that Mike ran 171 miles in 72 hours at Across the Years, and has a very respectable 100-mile PR of 22:49. Mike also tells about how he and David connected for the very first American Heroes Run and how it led to the development of the software that Mike now uses for races that run laps.Mike MeltonFacebook Mike MeltonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease consider donating to support Team Leadville and Boulder Crest to help end veteran suicide!  Donate, share, or just help spread the word to help end veteran suicide.

Legendary thriller author James Grady, creator of Six Days of the Condor, joins Alan Petersen to discuss his remarkable career, the enduring legacy of Three Days of the Condor, and his new noir thriller Shadows on Sidewalks. They also talk about political thrillers, real-world events influencing fiction, writing craft, literary influences, and advice for aspiring writers.

James Grady (b. 1949) is the author of screenplays, articles, and more than a dozen critically acclaimed thrillers. In 1973, after years of acquiring rejection slips for short stories and poems, Grady sold his first novel: Six Days of the Condor, a sensational bestseller which was eventually adapted into a film starring Robert Redford.

In this episode of the State of Mind Mental Health Podcast, I sit down with William Person — a 9-year member of Team USA's Olympic bobsled program and the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit fighting to protect athletes from CTE. William walks me through the cost of nine years and an estimated 22,000 bobsled rides on the human brain — and what happens when an entire roster of teammates starts taking their own lives. He shares the story of the friend who called him speaking gibberish before hanging himself in his family's factory, the autopsy that revealed Stage 4 CTE, and the decade William spent living on his living room floor, praying for death without ever having the language for what was wrong with him. He opens up about the New York Times article that finally diagnosed him when his doctors couldn't, the day Joe Namath's hyperbaric oxygen video changed his life, and the one hour in a chamber that gave him six straight days of clarity after ten years of cognitive fog. William is now building the American Post-Concussion Wellness Center — a free, public-facing treatment facility for veterans, athletes, and anyone suffering from undiagnosed brain trauma. If you've ever taken a hit to the head and wondered why something feels off, this conversation might change everything for you.

For years, we've been taught that eating less and exercising more is the definition of health. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that belief is not only misleading—but often the exact reason so many women are struggling with missing periods and fertility challenges.

From the Barbell to the ICU: Jared Maynard on Identity, Recovery, and Training with PurposeHost Ross Leppala introduces the Intentional Athlete Podcast's focus on purposeful training and welcomes physical therapist, powerlifter, and coach Jared Maynard of Unbreakable Strength. Jared shares how childhood bullying, isolation, and finding acceptance through kung fu and later lifting shaped his identity and perfectionism, which contributed to anxiety and disordered eating during PT school and led him from bodybuilding to powerlifting's objective standards. He recounts a severe 2023 health crisis triggered by mononucleosis that progressed to HLH, multi-organ failure, weeks on life support, dialysis, and a near-death prognosis, followed by a long recovery marked by dependence, grief, and identity loss. The conversation explores inner child work, releasing self-worth from outcomes, receiving help and love, memento mori, and how these lessons deepen Jared's presence as a husband and father.00:00 Podcast Mission00:51 Meet Jared Maynard02:54 Jared Background04:20 Finding The Barbell05:31 Bullying And Isolation07:04 Martial Arts Confidence15:45 Parenting And Inner Work26:36 Perfectionism And Training36:42 Process Over Outcome43:09 Health Crisis Begins45:04 Rushed to the ER46:54 Six Days of Mystery48:26 HLH Diagnosis Explained51:17 Miracle Turnaround55:11 Waking Up Weakened57:34 Helplessness and Grief59:33 Choosing to Keep Going01:05:18 Letting Others Help01:10:07 Receiving Love at Home01:14:15 Freedom After Near Death01:20:27 Memento Mori Practice01:29:35 Showing Up as Husband01:35:02 Being Present as Dad01:39:54 Wrap Up and Where to Find Him

This episode opens with a powerful blend of hard news and heartfelt community impact, as the Rickey Smiley Morning Show navigates breaking global developments while rallying listeners behind meaningful causes. The team highlights new reporting showing that the first six days of the U.S.–Iran war have already cost more than $11.3 billion, with Pentagon officials confirming that munitions alone exceeded $5.6 billion in the first 48 hours, signaling a conflict far more expensive than initially projected. Against this tense global backdrop, the show shifts into its annual St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Radiothon, emphasizing how families battling childhood cancer never receive bills for treatment, travel, housing, or food — a mission supported by radiothons nationwide, including similar fundraising events in markets like Lafayette and Western New York. Testimonies from parents, doctors, and survivors underscore why listener support directly fuels medical breakthroughs and raises survival rates from 20% in 1962 to over 80% today. The conversation continues with special appearances— including leadership from Miles College, where President Bobbie Knight has guided the institution through major expansions and secured more than $101 million in external funding, elevating both student opportunities and national visibility for the HBCU. The episode closes on a celebratory note as Kandi Burruss beams with pride over her 6‑year‑old daughter, Blaze Tucker, winning first place in Atlanta’s Little Miss Pearl pageant, a moment widely shared on social media and covered by outlets like Essence. Between global conflict, community uplift, educational excellence, and joyful family victories, the show delivers a meaningful spectrum of stories that keep listeners informed, inspired, and connected.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit groundeddaily.substack.comNight 21. First of the odd nights.Go all in from here.We've been over this — Laylatul Qadr is greater than a thousand months. Greater than 83 years. Most of us won't even live to see 83. And yet Allah is handing us this, every single year, completely free. One night of worship worth more than a lifetime. Don't let it pass.The Trap of Being Born Into ItWe stopped last night at the people of Jahannam begging for water. Not a glass — just the overflow. The spillover from the cups of the people of Jannah. Just whatever drips from the abundance that Allah has given them.And the people of Jannah are told: it's haram. Nothing from Jannah reaches those who took their religion as entertainment, treated it like a game, and were completely deluded by the life of this dunya.This ayah made me pause. Because if I'm honest, this description can creep up on any of us — especially those of us who were born Muslim.Think about it. Most of us didn't make an active decision to be Muslim. We didn't wake up one day, study the options, and choose Islam. We were born into it. The guidance was handed to us without us having to do anything to earn it. And because it was given for free, we sometimes treat it that way.The attitude becomes: yeah, I'm Muslim, what's the worst that can happen? I'll burn in Jahannam for a few thousand years and eventually get to Jannah anyway.There's a story — I can't verify the chain on this one, so take it as it is — apparently Muhammad Ali would light a match and put his finger through the flame whenever he felt tempted to do something haram. Just to remind himself: if you can't take this heat, what about the fire of the akhirah? He would talk himself out of it right there.Now that might sound dramatic, but the logic is sound. Imam al-Ghazali addressed exactly this problem — that we inherit our religion, we grow up with it, and we stop thinking seriously about it. We don't study our aqidah with the weight it deserves. We don't appreciate who our Lord is. We assume rather than know.Some people say: don't ask too many questions about your religion, it'll make you doubt. Imam al-Ghazali disagreed. He said doubt is actually useful — because when you doubt, you seek answers. And there are always answers in this deen. Our scholars have spent centuries engaging with every objection from every angle. The answers are there. You just have to find them.The problem is not doubt. The problem is sitting in doubt without seeking.Following along? A paid subscription includes a free digital copy of the Surah Al-A'raf Study Guide and Workbook. A Book With No Room for DoubtAllah says: We have sent down to them a book, explained with knowledge — meaning certainty. No doubt in it.In the study of usul al-fiqh, knowledge (ilm) is defined as that which reaches the level of absolute certainty — 100%. Below it you have zhan (probability, around 75%), then shukk (50-50), then waham (25%), then nothing. Ilm is the highest level — no room for doubt.And this book operates at that level. Allah is saying: We gave them the tools. The argument was complete. There is no excuse.One small thing from this ayah that I want to highlight. Allah says this book is guidance and mercy lil ladhina yu'minun— for those who are in the process of believing. Not lil mu'minin, not for the confirmed believers. The verb form rather than the noun form. Why does that matter?In Arabic, a noun is stronger than a verb. If I say someone is reading, that just describes what they're doing right now. If I say someone is a reader, that tells you who they are. So when Allah uses the verb form here — yu'minun, those who are believing — He is saying: even if you're not there yet, even if you're still on your way, still trying, still working to get to iman — this book will be clear to you. You don't have to have arrived to see it. You just have to be making the journey honestly.This Quran is not a book for passive consumption. It's not like opening a novel at page one and following the story. It jumps. It shifts. Surah al-Fatiha, then straight into Baqarah which changes topic to topic. It demands that you think. Allah literally asks: afala yatadabbarun al-Quran — why don't you do tadabbur of the Quran? It's a book that rewards effort. When you start to dig, you start to see the coherence — and when the coherence becomes apparent to you, SubhanAllah, you realise this could not have come from a human being.

What happens between Sundays?Did God design the church to be more than a Sunday expression?The word Church (ecclesia) means called out ones.- Called out TO operate by His authority and anointing.- Called out TO operate by His presence and power.- Called out TO reclaim God's dominion through man.- Called out TO legislate as God's representative.- Called out TO Advance Heaven.- Called out TO Stop Hell.This message is about what God's been saying to me lately about Hisvision for One City Church.

Recorded live from McCormick Place in Chicago, this episode marks the official kickoff of the MakingChips journey toward IMTS 2026. With nine months to go, we sit down with two leaders helping shape the show itself: Michelle Edmondson, Vice President of Exhibitions for IMTS, and Bonnie Gurney, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Industry Relations. What unfolds is a behind-the-scenes look at how the largest manufacturing technology show in North America is built — from campaign strategy and theme development to visitor planning, education tracks, emerging technologies, and student engagement. This year's theme, "Achieve the Impossible," paired with the campaign message around "Six Days," reflects what IMTS is really about: momentum. It's not just about buying a machine this year. It's about seeing where the industry is heading five years from now. We explore how exhibitors should define ROI, why attendees need a strategy before walking the floor, what's new in 2026 (including the Industrial AI Arena and the 20th anniversary of the Emerging Technology Center), and how young people — including our own kids — can get plugged into manufacturing through Smartforce and the Student Summit. Whether you're an exhibitor, an attendee, or still on the fence, this episode is a practical roadmap for how to get the most out of IMTS — and why it matters more than ever in today's manufacturing climate.

We all have our own favorite Robert Redford movie. But what's Redford's most prescient film about today's America? His Seventies trilogy about American politics — The Candidate, Three Days of the Condor and All the President's Men — are all, in their own profound ways, lasting meditations on the United States. But of the three, it might be Sydney Pollack's Three Days of the Condor (1975) which has the eeriest relevance to contemporary America. For James Grady, whose equally classic 1974 thriller Six Days of the Condor inspired the movie, Three Days of the Condor speaks to both the all-encompassing paranoia and isolation of our age. It's the anti-James Bond film for our anti-James Bond age. "For a movie that was made fifty years ago to unearth the emotions we felt then, and the emotions we're feeling now — that's extraordinary," James Grady says. Yes. After a half century, the Condor has landed. Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Johannes Zachhuber and Anna Marmodoro, eds., Gregory of Nyssa: On the Hexaemeron: Text, Translation, and Essays (Oxford UP, 2025) This book presents Gregory of Nyssa's On the Six Days of Creation (In Hexaemeron) as a specimen of Early Christian philosophy. It comprises Gregory of Nyssa's text in its Greek original accompanied by a new English translation, and seven accompanying essays by international specialists from diverse backgrounds. Each essay focuses on a section of the text and the arising philosophical issues. The essays complement each other in offering multiple perspectives on how Gregory's text may be approached philosophically and positioned in relation to other, more or less contiguous, philosophical theories, including the early Greeks Anaxagoras and Empedocles, Aristotle, and the Stoics. Rather than presenting a definite and exhaustive state of the art study of Gregory's text, this volume aims to open new pathways for research into In Hexaemeron. New Books in Late Antiquity is presented by Ancient Jew Review Johannes Zachhuber is professor of historical and systematic theology at Oxford. His books include Human Nature in Greogry of Nyssa, The Rise of Christian Theology and the End of Ancient Metaphysics, and Time and the Soul: from Aristotle to Augustine. Anna Marmodoro is Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Professor of Philosophy at St. Louis University. She's written or edited half a dozen books including Metaphysics: an Introduction; Forms and Structures in Plato's Metaphysics; Aristotle on Perceiving Objects, and most recently she co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Omnipresence.

In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Irv Blumkin, Chairman of Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM), and Ryan Blumkin, Executive Vice President, to unpack nearly 90 years of retail innovation, from Mrs. B's pawn-shop beginnings to multi-acre campuses in Omaha, Kansas City, Dallas, and soon Austin. They explore what it's like to partner with Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, build massive destination developments, and still obsess over every single SKU and customer interaction. From dynamic pricing and AI-enabled operations to a mind-blowing learning trip through China's retail and technology ecosystem, Irv and Ryan share how NFM is using data, automation, and emerging tech to deepen their moat, without ever losing sight of values, culture, and long-term thinking. They also talk careers in retail tech, why young “outside-the-box” thinkers matter, and the role of lifelong learning in leading through disruption. Listen to learn:Why Warren Buffett bought Nebraska Furniture Mart on a handshake, and what Irv has learned from decades of dinners and deal-making with himWhy strong values and culture matter more than ever in this tech-driven marketplaceHow NFM uses massive-store footprints, destination partners like Scheels, and even hotel/convention centers to turn shopping into an experienceHow dynamic pricing, digital shelf tags, and nightly web crawls of 70,000+ SKUs keep NFM competitive with Amazon, Costco, Wayfair, and othersWhat Irv and Ryan saw in China's tech companies and how those lessons are shaping NFM's future3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Timeless values can scale into a $2 billion business. Mrs. B's simple principles (sell at a great price, tell the truth, and pay your bills) still anchor NFM's strategy, even as the company builds 1.8 million-square-foot campuses and expands into new markets like Austin. Irv connects those values directly to long-term growth, customer trust, and the family's partnership with Berkshire Hathaway. 2. Technology is now core infrastructure, not an add-on. NFM's nightly web crawling, digital price tags, and dynamic pricing systems automatically position them as the best value against online competitors, while complex distribution networks and emerging AI tools optimize inventory and logistics. Ryan frames this as building a “moat” with data, automation, and relentless operational excellence, not just more advertising. 3. Lifelong learning is mandatory for modern leadership. Irv has invested in executive education for decades, and both he and Ryan describe their China trip as “eye opening” in terms of speed, scrappiness, AI adoption, and asset-light business models. They're already translating those lessons into new e-commerce strategies, warehouse automation concepts, and AI-enabled process improvements back at NFM. Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Nebraska Furniture MartOther resources mentioned:Six Days in China: The Speed, Scale and Innovation Outpacing the U.S. - Podcast episode with Todd WanekMORE LINKS & RESOURCES ON THE EPISODE PAGE: https://techWe want to hear from you!

Richard leads Alex and Rodger through a broad overview of the state of play six days before “Black Sunday,” starting with the Lane Kiffin extended universe and moving outward from there. Among the topics discussed here:* The media apparatus behind Lane Kiffin and Jimmy Sexton's moves, plus Rodger's grand idea to finally reveal what's happening* Why you shouldn't trust anyone claiming to know for sure what Kiffin is doing, and why you shouldn't read too much into his slow process pointing him toward one school or another* Auburn has a clear plan in mind and has been focused on it for weeks. But until Kiffin gives a resolution to Ole Miss, LSU, and Florida, there's a variable in play for Auburn's main target* Terry Smith's maneuvering to get involved in the Penn State search, a great example of how coaches aren't hired, but elected* The options for Eric Morris, North Texas coach and leader of the nation's current No. 1 offense by SP+* Florida State keeping Mike Norvell and showing it doesn't want to compete (in the coaching market)* Cal's firing of Justin Wilcox, and why the two impending new hires in the Bay Area will be unlike anything we've seen in college football* The toxic public conversation around UCLA's athletic director and whether that makes the Bruins job less attractive* What's the deal with Kyle Whittingham at Utah?* UAB's missing-in-action AD. More on him here.And more. Produced by Anthony Vito.
