I have interviewed 1,000 entrepreneurs over 10 years. Nik Storonsky and our guest today are the two best that I have interviewed.  Joining the show today; Alan Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fuse Energy. Alan has scaled Fuse Energy from $2M in revenue in the first year, to $20M the second year to now $400M in the third year. Like Netflix beat incumbents to own media, Revolut beat incumbents to own banking, Fuse will beat incumbents to own energy. Prior to founding Fuse, Alan was one of the first three hires at Revolut where he played a crucial role alongside Nik (Founder) in scaling the company to over $75BN valuation.  AGENDA: 00:04:00 — The interview process that led to the $150M pay packet 00:05:05 — The moment I knew Revolut was going to be a $TRN company 00:06:10 — How Revolut drove speed and urgency in their teams 00:07:35 — Biggest lesson from Nik Storonsky @ Revolut 00:09:40 — If you want to build a generational company, you cannot have work-life balance 00:11:40 — What I disagreed with Nik @ Revolut on most 00:13:35 — Is Nik right that Revolut should have got a banking licence earlier? 00:15:05 — The green movement and the idea of "using less" is BS 00:22:55 — Why China is the shining light for regulation to follow 00:33:00 — What Nik at Revolut taught me about ownership and excuses 00:34:50 — The signs of truly top performing people in a team 00:36:55 — We do not have enough ambitious founders — we need to do more, not focus 00:39:55 — You need to work weekends to win 00:43:50 — Every single year we 10x revenue — now at ~$400M 00:44:35 — Why Eastern European engineers are the best Items Mentioned in Today's Show: Try NEXOS.AI for yourself with a 14-day free trial: https://nexos.ai/20vc  

Two truths shape modern pool care: the fundamentals haven't changed, and expectations never stop rising. We dig into why pool service remains resilient through recessions, how green pools trigger vector control action, and why owners treat upkeep like insurance when a basic build can top $130,000. From chemistry that still works to routines that keep gear alive, we connect the dots between steady craft and smart business.We also unpack the big shifts you're seeing on the pad. Cartridge filters are outpacing DE thanks to regulation and better media, and automation is moving toward closed ecosystems where matching brands across controllers, VS pumps, and salt systems avoids painful integrations. With supply back to normal and prices stable—if not cheaper—you can quote confidently and prevent surprises. The real pressure point is labor: gig work pulled talent away, so we talk through hiring realities, training paths, and route design that keeps drive times short and margins strong.Speed now wins the lead. We share practical ways to answer faster without burning out: call routing, message templates, and route apps that send service photos and notes before a client asks. You'll hear why instant feedback reduces churn, how to market without getting lost in trends like truck wraps, and what to focus on if you want cleaner pools, happier clients, and a healthier bottom line in 2026. If you value no‑fluff advice, tight operations, and clear takeaways, you'll feel right at home.• resilience of pool service during downturns• impact of vector control and green pool risks• stable chemistry targets and long‑term fundamentals• cartridge filters overtaking DE on new builds• proprietary automation ecosystems and brand matching• post‑COVID pricing stability and supply realities• workforce shortages and gig economy effects• faster response expectations for leads and clients• route apps, photos, and communication systems• practical operations, tight routing, and marketing focusSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Most large language models today generate text one token at a time. That design choice creates a hard limit on speed, cost, and scalability. In this episode of Eye on AI, Stefano Ermon breaks down diffusion language models and why a parallel, inference-first approach could define the next generation of LLMs. We explore how diffusion models differ from autoregressive systems, why inference efficiency matters more than training scale, and what this shift means for real-time AI applications like code generation, agents, and voice systems. This conversation goes deep into AI architecture, model controllability, latency, cost trade-offs, and the future of generative intelligence as AI moves from demos to production-scale systems.

This year, auto retail crossed a real inflection point with AI — not just experimentation, but actual adoption inside dealerships. With that shift came a flood of questions from operators trying to separate signal from noise. AI is everywhere right now. Claims are loud. Results are uneven. And it's not always clear what's actually working. So we're launching an seven-part series, Pre-NADA AI Spotlight — conversations with the most forward-leaning AI companies in auto retail, focused on what they're building, what's delivering real results in dealerships today, what isn't, and what dealers should realistically be paying attention to heading into NADA. Today, Sam sits down with William Camastro, Dealer/Operator, Gold Coast Cadillac, and Derek Simonds, Executive VP Automotive at Numa. This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by Numa: Numa - Numa is the first AI agent platform for auto dealerships. Address communication breakdowns with customers and get full visibility into all service interactions.

Summary In this conversation, David Inman discusses the critical importance of speed in lead conversion and how AI technology is revolutionizing sales processes. He emphasizes that reaching out to leads within five minutes significantly increases conversion rates and highlights the efficiency of AI in managing initial conversations with potential clients. Takeaways If we didn't reach out and have a conversation with the lead within five minutes, our chance of conversion dropped by 70%. Our speed to lead now is under 17 seconds. AI is calling that lead within 17 seconds of entering our system. The AI agent is having a conversation, answering basic questions. AI helps in figuring out if leads are qualified. AI can book leads onto the reps calendar directly. Transferring leads directly over to the rep is efficient. Using AI in sales teams enhances the sales structure. Speed and efficiency are crucial in lead conversion. AI technology is a game changer for sales processes.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 1In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into extraordinary cosmic phenomena and the ongoing exploration of our solar system.Cosmic Matter Ejected at 20% the Speed of LightAstronomers have made a groundbreaking observation of matter being ejected from a supermassive black hole at the center of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3783, located 135 million light years away. This matter, propelled at an astonishing 20% the speed of light, challenges previously held notions about how such superluminal jets are powered. The findings suggest that a sudden change in the magnetic field, rather than radiation, may be responsible for this high-speed outburst, providing new insights into the mechanisms of black hole dynamics and their impact on galactic evolution.Wind-Sculpted Landscapes on MarsNASA's Perseverance Rover continues its exploration of Mars, focusing on megaripples—large sand formations shaped by wind. These megaripples, some reaching up to 2 meters in height, offer scientists a unique opportunity to study current Martian atmospheric processes. As the rover investigates the Honeyguide region, researchers hope to gain insights into the planet's wind patterns and surface chemistry, which will be crucial for future human missions to Mars.Potential Ocean Beneath Uranus's Moon ArielNew research suggests that Uranus's moon Ariel may harbor a vast subsurface ocean, potentially more than 170 kilometers deep. This discovery, reported in the journal Icarus, highlights Ariel's unique geological features and raises questions about its past interior structure and orbital dynamics. The study indicates that understanding Ariel's ocean could provide crucial context for the moon's surface fractures and cryovolcanic activity, emphasizing the need for future missions to the Uranian system to confirm these findings.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomy and AstrophysicsIcarusNASA ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) This is Space Time Series 29, Episode 1 for broadcast on 2 January 2026(00:00:47) Cosmic matter ejected from supermassive black hole(00:12:30) Perseverance Rover studies wind-sculpted megaripples on Mars(00:20:10) Evidence of a subsurface ocean beneath Uranus's moon Ariel(00:25:00) Skywatch: January night sky highlights and celestial events

Your brand isn't losing to competitors, it's getting flattened by “good enough.”In a world where AI can generate passable B2B content in seconds, bland isn't safe. It's fatal.In this episode, Dan Schwer of Rippling breaks down what brand actually looks like inside a 6.000-person SaaS company with a creative team of 15. We go straight at the uncomfortable stuff: why “brand vs. demand” is a lazy (and expensive) debate, how a brand refresh becomes a business lever (not a design hobby), and what it takes to keep quality high when the org is moving at startup speed and the pipeline still wants receipts.If you're still treating brand as the “pretty layer” on top of performance, this one's going to sting — in a useful way.We also cover:Brand ROI without the fantasy math: Measuring impact through speed, scale, and craft.The “brand vs. demand” trap: Why the fight is fake — and what actually drives pipeline.Video as the new moat: Product launches, customer stories, and earning attention in B2B.AI won't fix bad taste: Where AI helps, where it slows you down, and why judgment still wins.

2025 didn't just challenge the automotive industry.It exposed it.Tariffs that shifted overnight. Another chip crisis. A sudden rethink on EVs. Then Ford dropped the bomb: nearly $20 billion in charges as it pivoted away from EVs, stranding capital across the supply chain. And on top of it all, AI is moving faster than most leaders can keep up with.In this solo episode, Jan Griffiths presses pause on the noise and calls it what it really was: feedback.Not chaos.A signal.2025 showed us exactly where legacy leadership breaks under pressure. Command-and-control slowed decision-making. Rigid processes collapsed under uncertainty. And waiting for perfect data became a competitive disadvantage.As we step into 2026, Jan lays out what leadership must become if this industry wants to survive, not just react. She challenges leaders to stop pretending they have all the answers and start learning out loud. To trade certainty for curiosity. Ego for humility. Silos for systems thinking.AI is not the threat. Speed is the reality. And culture is still the differentiator.This episode is a direct, honest conversation with leaders who feel the weight of what's coming and know the old playbook won't get them there. Jan breaks down the five leadership categories that will define success in 2026 and beyond, and why standing still is no longer an option.If 2025 cracked the foundation, 2026 is the year leaders decide whether to rebuild or repeat the same mistakes.This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Themes DiscussedWhy 2025 wasn't chaos, but critical feedback for automotive leadersThe leadership behaviors that failed under pressureLearning out loud instead of waiting for perfect answersIntellectual humility as a competitive advantageWhy speed now matters more than certaintyHow AI is forcing a shift away from rigid org chartsThe leadership mindset required to win in 2026About Your Host – Jan GriffithsJan Griffiths is the Champion for Culture Change in the automotive industry.

They regale us with some of their favorite or otherwise notable listings from throughout the year, and along the way talk about Howard as a secret Corvette guy; the glory of the Mazdaspeed Protege and its predecessors; the Valentine One (and related bad advice from Howard); and key value differences between the beginning and end of 2025.Also discussed: a rare glimpse into curation regrets; alphanumeric Lambo soup;  going from one first world problem to the next (some of which involve virus-related emergency roadside stops); teasers for upcoming BaT events; a mutual yearning to get back out on track; and resurrecting Crashgate 2008.Links for things mentioned in this episode:1:42  Original-Owner 2003 Mazda Mazdaspeed Protegé2:22  Mazda Protegé MP3 Car and Driver First Drive3:02  In Memory of Mike Valentine, a Pioneer of the Radar Detector Industry Car and Driver5:29 Lot #50,000: 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.45:56  Lot #10,000: 1956 Porsche 356A Carrera GS Coupe7:19  Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Touring search pages7:27  Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG model page7:48   2022 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Sold for USD $4,000,0007:54  20-Years-Owned 1953 Chevrolet Corvette Sold for USD $371,0008:34  1986 Porsche 962C Sold for USD $1,249,6208:36  1990 AAR-Toyota Eagle HF89 Sold for USD $1,400,0009:00  1993 Jaguar XJ220-N Sold for USD $691,2349:02  Ex–Car and Driver Twin-Engine 1984 Honda CR-X² Sold for USD $41,4019:06  Ex–Paul Walker 2005 Ford GT Sold for USD $627,0009:21  392 Hemi Stroker-Powered 1930 Ford Model A “Wade Coupe” 4-Speed Sold for USD $98,5009:44  Ex–Cormac McCarthy 1998 Ferrari F355 GTS Sold for USD $108,3559:53  Neon Porcelain Dairy Queen Sign Sold for USD $21,00010:08  Porsche 918 Spyder model page10:10  Singer DLS search page10:13  1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS Sold for USD $2,375,00010:23  2010 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale Zagato Sold for USD $600,55610:45  Blu Elettrico 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari Sold for USD $4,475,00010:55  17k-Kilometer 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet 6-Speed11:37  Widebody 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge Neon Nights Edition Sold for USD $310,00011:59  2026 Corvette ZR-1 search page13:20  Sahara Beige 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Sold for USD $106,50013:45  Parts and Automobilia category page13:48  Sega Ferrari F355 Challenge Arcade Game Sold for USD $20,00013:55  F Racer F40-Style Junior Go-Kart Sold for GBP £16,00014:01 L'Autopède Bus Ride & Power Car Go-Kart Sold for USD $21,50014:21  Parts and Automobilia – Racing Simulators model page15:58  1971 Triumph Spitfire Mk IV Project Sold for USD $10016:04  2006 Ferrari F430 Spider Chassis Sold for USD $2,00616:43  1995 BMW M3 AC Schnitzer ACS3 CLS Sold for USD $188,00018:16  1918 Henderson Four Model H Sold for USD $141,00018:21  1920 Ace Four Sold for USD $147,00020:01  2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Coupe 6-Speed Sold for USD $235,00020:28  Lamborghini Murcielago Coupe 6-Speed search page21:29  10k-Mile 2006 Subaru Baja Turbo Sold for USD $55,55521:35  Volvo V70R model page23:13  Ford GT Mk II Race Car search page23:30  1964 Bill Thomas Cheetah Cro-Sal Special Roadster Sold for USD $415,00024:12  1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 4WD 6-Speed Sold for USD $7,80024:37  Toyota Tercel model page47:53  Michael Richards' 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 Sold for USD $24,444Got suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community, One Year Garage episode, or (B)aT the Movies subject?

**NotebookLM HAS TAKEN OVER THE TRENDING COMMUNICATOR. AGAIN.** Generative AI is shaking up the world of communications—and the debate is on. In this special takeover episode of The Trending Communicator, Abel and Iris weigh the promise and pitfalls of AI adoption for comms professionals. Is AI truly a strategic superpower, or does it risk eroding hard-won wisdom and trust? Our hosts tackle big questions about originality, efficiency, brand voice, and the critical role of human judgment. From allegations of “AI slop” to the growing expectation that professionals must adapt or become obsolete, Iris and Abel challenge each other—and the industry—to find balance between bold innovation and ethical responsibility. Whether you're in the excitement camp or a skeptic, this episode delivers sharp insights, real-world examples, and a call to lead with empathy and rigor as AI rewrites the rules of communication. Listen in and hear about: How generative AI is transforming communication strategy and the debate over its real value Why AI-created content risks diluting professional wisdom and brand trust Ways communicators are leveraging legacy content to maintain originality with AI Ongoing concerns about AI amplifying existing flaws and spreading "AI slop" The evolving role of communicators as quality filters in an AI-driven workflow Challenges organizations face with AI adoption, from poor change management to role uncertainty Leadership's new responsibility to use AI as a strategic partner while preserving empathy and judgment Timestamps 0:00:00 Podcast Takeover & Introduction0:00:26 GenAI and the Big Debate in Comms0:00:38 Does Generative AI Add or Destroy Value?0:01:06 Risks, Disruption & Trust in AI Adoption0:01:25 Augmentation vs. Automation—Strategic Value0:02:13 AI Hype & Human Element Concerns0:02:39 AI Slop, Trust Issues, and Expertise Erosion0:03:24 Strategic Upside: AI as Enabler0:04:05 Human Judgment as the Quality Filter0:04:40 Speed vs. Quality & Distinctive Human Insight0:05:03 Changing Roles: Prompting, Critiquing, Synthesizing0:05:31 Institutional Readiness, Ethics, Trust & Systemic Risks0:06:43 Empathy & Perspective: Irreplaceable Human Advantages0:07:06 AI for Reputation Management, Context, & Scale0:07:32 Ethics vs. Efficiency: Risks in Sensitive Fields0:08:04 Senior Communicators, AI as Validation & Infrastructure0:08:41 Broadening Strategic Functions; AI as Audience0:09:14 Organizational Readiness & Leadership Challenges0:10:01 Leadership Opportunity: AI as Strategic Sparring Partner0:10:52 Human Wisdom & Navigating Disruption0:11:36 Closing Remarks & Podcast Outro Audio generated by NotebookLM, based on the transcripts from all episodes of The Trending Communicator in 2025.

Episode Overview In this timely and thought-provoking episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens is joined by returning guest Eric Post, AI strategist, founder of Huzi.ai, and one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of technology, consumer behavior, and real estate. This conversation goes far beyond "how to use AI." John and Eric unpack the real threat and opportunity in the market today: the AI-powered consumer. As consumers gain instant access to information, agents can no longer win by being the knowledge holder. Instead, success now belongs to the wisdom worker—the advisor who brings clarity, discernment, experience, and trust. They explore how the internet has shifted from a place of search to a place of conversations, why SEO alone is no longer enough, and how agents must rethink branding, content, leadership, and customer experience to stay relevant in 2025 and beyond. This episode is a masterclass in AI, leadership, consumer psychology, and designing unforgettable client experiences in a rapidly changing world. Key Topics Covered The Rise of the AI-Powered Consumer Why the #1 consumer complaint is no longer lack of communication—but "I know more than my agent" How AI has shifted the internet from search to conversation What it means when 90%+ of AI interactions never click through to a website Why Zillow is no longer the real threat—and what is From Knowledge Worker to Wisdom Worker Why memorizing contracts, stats, and processes is no longer a competitive advantage The difference between information and discernment How top agents win by understanding people, not just data Why "good enough" agents are the most vulnerable in an AI world Trust, Purpose, and the New Agent Value Proposition Defining your role when consumers already have the answers Why agents must become guides, not order-takers The importance of emotional intelligence, intuition, and presence How trust is built through personalization, not speed alone Content, Branding & Being Found in an AI World Why agents must start writing content for both humans and AI The difference between SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Why upstream life events (death, divorce, debt, downsizing) matter more than listing searches How to position yourself as the authority AI pulls from—not just another result Efficiency vs. Experience: Choosing Your Lane Why the "middle ground" is the most dangerous place to operate The difference between budget efficiency and premium experience Why memorable, designed client experiences create defensibility How "unreasonable hospitality" becomes the ultimate moat AI as a Force Multiplier (Not a Crutch) Why AI should augment thinking—not replace discipline How tools like Zi.ai, Spark Pad, and Halo help agents scale wisdom Using AI to clarify niche, ICP, and proprietary processes faster than ever The danger of letting AI lead instead of using it intentionally Resources & Mentions Huzi.ai – Purpose-built AI for real estate professionals Spark Pad – AI workspace for clarity, messaging, and strategy Halo – AI visibility and monitoring across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and more CoachKitchens.ai – Custom AI tools built for Agent to CEO operators The Empty Room by Eric Post – Manifesto on wisdom, creativity, and AI Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara Rick Rubin – Creativity, taste, and intuition references Final Takeaway AI isn't replacing real estate agents—but it is replacing average ones. In a world where consumers have instant access to information, the agents who win are those who bring wisdom, clarity, trust, and experience to the table. Speed and efficiency are now table stakes. Differentiation comes from insight, personalization, and the ability to guide people through complex, emotional decisions. As Eric Post makes clear, the future belongs to those who design memorable experiences, understand the AI-powered consumer, and intentionally evolve from knowledge workers into true advisors. "You can't compete with AI on speed or memory. You win by being human—by bringing wisdom, taste, and discernment." – Eric Post Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner welcomes Rick McElroy, founder and CEO of Nexasure, for a candid conversation about cybersecurity's breaking point. Together, they unpack the realities of defending organizations in an era of identity sprawl, machine risk, agentic AI, and relentless automation. Rick shares hard-won insights from decades on the front lines, challenging the myth of perfect defense and revealing why identity remains at the root of most breaches. Whether you're a CISO, IT leader, or cybersecurity professional, you'll get actionable advice on managing machine identities, rethinking risk, and building resilience for a future where change is the only constant.

In this episode recorded live from the 2025 Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, hosts Lauren Bedula and Hondo Geurts sit down with Congressman Rob Wittman, Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and Co-Chair of the Defense Modernization Caucus. Congressman Wittman shares his journey from reforming a Boy Scout troop in his small Virginia hometown to leading defense modernization efforts in Congress, driven by a passion for connecting good public policy to decision makers who can execute it. The conversation explores his call for Congress to thank people for taking risks and learning from failures, the critical workforce challenges facing shipbuilding, and why the overwhelming presence of non-traditional defense companies at the Reagan Forum signals a transformative shift in the defense industrial base. Wittman emphasizes that modernization must happen "at the speed of relevance," not incrementally, but with the urgency the strategic environment demands.Five Key Takeaways:Congress must thank people for taking risks, not punish failures: Wittman calls for Congress to "thank them for taking the risk" when acquisition officials present failures, then ask what they learned. Using SpaceX's Starship as an example, he argues that controlled failures accelerate progress, and Congress must stop punishing experimentation with a "process-centric mindset."The Navy's Constellation decision was a watershed moment: The Navy's willingness to reassess the Constellation-class frigate, where mission creep turned an 85% complete design into 15%, demonstrates self-assessment and course correction, the kind that should be celebrated even when acknowledging past errors.Shipbuilding faces unprecedented workforce challenges: With companies like Huntington Ingalls hiring 5,000 workers annually, shipyards must invest in quality of life improvements and expand skill sets beyond traditional trades to include software programming, robotics monitoring, and additive manufacturing.Non-traditionals are transforming the defense industrial base: The overwhelming presence of non-traditional companies, private equity firms, and venture capital at the Reagan Forum represents a fundamental shift. These players bring innovative approaches focused not just on platforms but on enabling the manufacturing process itself through software and data analytics.Modernization must happen at the speed of relevance: "We have to do these things, not just say, well, we'll think about it. We'll do a little bit. This has to be done at the speed of relevance." The strategic environment demands urgent transformation, not incremental approaches, across workforce development, manufacturing, and acquisition reform.

Composer Geoff Knorr — known for his work on the Civilization series and other large-scale game soundtracks — joins us for a deep conversation about creativity, discipline, and what it really takes to build a life in music.We discuss learning to accept criticism, letting go of ideas that don't work, why good music can still be the wrong music, and why some composers grow while others stay stuck. Drawing from Geoff's experience composing for major games, teaching at the Peabody Institute, and collaborating with musicians across diverse musical traditions, the conversation explores humility, perspective, and long-term creative growth.The episode also touches on health, sustainability, and discipline — from staying physically active as a composer to recognizing that music is simply too hard to pursue unless you genuinely love it.GEOFF KNORR LINKS:Website: https://www.geoffknorr.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KnorrMusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OFCjpSAsyIOWWzIAYb3OI?si=_eoobKhuQTSmDIWa4DYmjgApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/geoff-knorr/411130469Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geoff.knorrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Geoff-Knorr-Composer/174736382555080Markus Junnikkala is a Composer from Finland.https://www.markusjunnikkala.com/Support this podcast by becoming a member:https://markusjunnikkala.com/membership/Want me to answer your question?Ask it on social media:https://www.instagram.com/markusjunnikkala/https://www.facebook.com/markusjunnikkala/https://x.com/markusjunnikkalhttps://www.reddit.com/user/markusjunnikkala/https://www.linkedin.com/in/markusjunnikkala/Subscribing, sharing, and liking helps the podcast.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:08) Introduction(00:02:16) Growing Up, Family, and Early Influences(00:08:32) Sports, Discipline, Health & Longevity as a Composer(00:13:19) Failure, Hard Work & Lessons From Sports(00:16:37) Subjectivity, Criticism & Facing Reality in Music(00:23:14) Letting Go of Music That Doesn't Work(00:27:19) Teaching, Mediocrity & Why Some Musicians Don't Improve(00:34:15) Game Music Reality: Serving the Vision (Beyond Earth)(00:38:19) Technology, Early MIDI & Audio Foundations(00:45:33) Collaboration, Culture & Working With Musicians(00:51:35) Childhood, Encouragement & Learning to Love Music(00:56:05) Classical Foundations, Bach & Musical Identity(01:01:04) Why Music Is Too Hard If You Don't Love It(01:05:11) Video Games, Direction & Choosing a Career Path(01:16:10) Studying Composition, Recording & Wearing Both Hats(01:30:10) Composing Process: Score, DAW & Sample Libraries(01:46:00) Improvisation, Structure & Non-Western Traditions(02:02:10) Trust, Sensitivity & Recording Real Musicians(02:18:40) Sound vs Notes: Where Music Actually Lives(02:36:00) Experience, Speed & Long-Term Creative Thinking(02:57:30) What Keeps You Going (Final Reflections)

2025 has come to a close - and it's another year-end episode reflecting on the best and worst cars Jason and Derek have encountered this year. Maximum Carmudgeonation is achieved today, so hold onto your hats - and we guarantee, you've never listened to another podcast where the Vinfast VF8 and McLaren F1 are both mentioned. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before getting into the thick of it, Jason updates us on his MK3 Volkswagen Cabrio VR6 swap - with the 2.slow and the rest of the front + rear subframes out, we learn one other MK3 (Jetta GLX) has been sacrificed in the name of top-down VR6 burnouts. A myth is busted - Harbor Freight plastic carts don't appear to be makeshift engine stands after all. But they do explode catastrophically! Derek also goes over some highlights of another year dealing cars at OTS - with sales and consignments including the likes of the Ferrari F50, Porsche Carrera GT, and an array of modern Ferrari Challenge cars (360 Challenge Stradale, F430 Scuderia, and 458 Speciale to name a few). He also reflects on a changing market - moving away from 60s Ferraris like 250 Lusso and 330 GTC. Jason begins with his first wave highlights - including but not limited to: Lancia Stratos, Lancia Thema 8.32, Cizeta-Moroder V16T, Saab 9000 Aero, Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio, E34 BMW M5 with an S70B56 swap, the Kwiek Classics Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series 6-Speed, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Merkur XR4Ti, Jeep Cherokee, and of course Derek's recently acquired Mk1 Jaguar. Derek follows with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, RUF Tribute, Kimera EVO37, the Toyota 2000GT, and more recently the Porsche 911 IROC RSR (to be further explored on a future episode…) Jason remarks on many of the the other great cars he's driven for various Revelations, Ultimate Drag Race, and Ultimate Lap Battle episodes, including the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C8 and C4), Porsche 992 GT3 RS, Ford Mustang GTD, Ford GT (both generations), W204 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (including the Anderzen manual swap), Alpine A110, Audi RS6 Avant, and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (the BMW M5 Touring was unfortunately not so good). But not to worry- plenty of Carmudgeonation goes down - with roasts of the automatic Porsche 996 Turbo, BMW i3 and i8, the ND2 Mazda Miata, and even Jason's own MK3 Cabrio (while it still had its 2.slow). All this and more, on this week's end-of-2025 finale of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Change of speed is one of the most talked-about concepts in player development, and for good reason. But too often, it's taught in an oversimplified way: rep it out, add a hesitation, slow down then go fast, and assume it will magically transfer to the game. In this episode, we break down why that approach falls short and how we think about change of speed through the BAM Framework. The key distinction? Being able to change speed isn't the same as knowing when, why, and how to do it in real game contexts.We explore the two pillars that actually drive effective change of speed: action capacity and perception. Action capacity sets the ceiling: movement efficiency, rhythm, ball control, and the ability to float, decelerate, and re-accelerate smoothly. But perception is what separates good from great: seeing affordances, staying composed, and understanding the purpose behind slowing down or speeding up. We discuss why decision-free drills often don't stick, how observational learning plays a massive role (especially for younger players), and how small-sided games can be designed around real reasons to change speed: relaxing defenders, entering chaos with control, buying time, and creating advantages. Want to Go Deeper?A ton of what we talked about today connects directly to the ideas inside The Modern Basketball Blueprint, my new book.If you're a coach who wants to bridge science, movement, decision-making, and practical training, this book lays out the full framework.Grab your copy here → www.byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprintIf you found this valuable:Share the episode with a coach who'd benefit from building change of speed in a more modern waySubscribe so you don't miss the next deep diveScreenshot and tag us on IG so we can repost you

What if the reason you're not moving faster has nothing to do with discipline, motivation, or intelligence and everything to do with time?In this episode, I'm breaking down the Compression Protocol, a core module from Founders Inner Circle, and revealing how high-level founders bend time by manufacturing urgency, collapsing timelines, and forcing their nervous system into execution mode.You'll learn why:Speed is not a skill — it's a constraintPerfectionism is just procrastination in a tuxedoYour brain only enters peak performance when the deadline feels impossibleWe'll unpack how Parkinson's Law quietly destroys momentum, how artificial urgency triggers flow states at a biological level, and how elite operators condense months of work into days using ruthless time compression.This episode introduces practical frameworks like:The 50% Rule for instantly doubling execution speedThe 60-Minute Power Block for zero-friction outputThe concept of weekly sprints instead of monthly goalsListen if you're ready to stop managing time and start bending it.Want to Build and Scale Your Business?

Erica interviews James Hatfield, the co-founder of LiveSwitch, to discuss how video technology and AI are transforming the contracting industry. Hatfield introduces the concept of "Race to the Face," arguing that virtual face-to-face interactions build trust faster than traditional phone calls or slow in-person estimates. The discussion highlights how the platform enables remote diagnostics, instant documentation, and AI-driven work orders, significantly reducing wasted travel time and overhead costs for service professionals. Beyond business efficiency, Hatfield emphasizes the human impact of technology, noting how it helps entrepreneurs reclaim personal time for their families. The conversation concludes with a focus on philanthropy and the importance of using professional success to serve others within the community. Key Takeaways: • Prioritize getting face-to-face with clients virtually to build immediate trust and increase your sales close rates compared to traditional phone calls or texts. • Use video technology to eliminate unnecessary travel for estimates, allowing you to reclaim valuable hours of your day to spend with your family. • Delegate repetitive administrative tasks like writing reports, CRM entries, or contracts to AI tools to increase your professional efficiency and reduce burnout. • Document your work through video to provide full transparency, which protects your business from disputes and strengthens long-term customer relationships. • Adopt a mindset of service by looking for consistent ways to give back to your community or industry without expecting anything in return.

In 1954, McLendon arrived at the NAIA tournament in Kansas City with a non-negotiable demand: his team would eat in the same restaurants and sleep in the same hotels as the white teams.This episode covers the rise of Tennessee A&I (now Tennessee State), the first college basketball team in history to win three consecutive national championships (1957-1959).In this episode:The Ultimatum: How McLendon used the NAIA tournament to force the integration of Kansas City hotels and restaurants in 1954.The Dynasty: The story of the first college "Three-Peat," led by the legendary Dick Barnett and his "Fallback Baby" jump shot.The Cost of Integration: How the success of HBCUs led to Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) recruiting Black talent, draining the very programs that built it.Breaking Barriers: McLendon becoming the first African American head coach of a pro team (Cleveland Pipers) and a PWI (Cleveland State).From the NAIA tournament to the birth of the fast break as a global standard, this is how the "side door" became the front door.Support the showDid you know we are one of the Top 30 Collage Podcasts in the World! https://podcast.feedspot.com/college_basketball_podcasts/?feedid=5529823&_src=f1_featured_email Support the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/

Inspired by the wisdom that when thought settles, reality becomes visible, this conversation is a meditation on slowness as a way of seeing—truly seeing. Through the symbolism of the Winter Solstice, the costs of productivity culture, and the quiet metaphysics of perception, we explore how slowing down reveals what haste conceals. When motion softens and even the mind grows still, the real world comes back into focus.

Share a commentA birth announcement shook the night sky and reset history: a child in Bethlehem who is Savior, Messiah, and Lord. We walk through Gabriel's lightning-fast message, the sheer scope of the angelic host, and the quiet courage of a young woman who said yes to God, even when it meant being misunderstood for life. Along the way, we connect the temple, the throne of David, and the promise of a kingdom without end to the gritty, hopeful ground of daily faith.We start with the contrast between human breakthroughs in communication and a form of delivery that never fails—messages sent by angels. From there, we linger with Mary as Gabriel speaks two powerful currents into her life: grace and greatness. Grace means undeserved favor; greatness means God's unstoppable plan. Mary's honest question about how a virgin can conceive meets a temple-shaped answer: the Spirit will overshadow her, as glory once filled the Holy of Holies. That image reframes us, too—believers become living temples who carry Christ into ordinary spaces with purpose and humility.Then the fields around Bethlehem come alive. Likely temple shepherds, charged with raising lambs for sacrifice yet barred from worship as unclean, hear first. Gabriel's announcement is precise and bold: the Deliverer has come, the Anointed King stands in David's line, and this child is God incarnate. Born for you. Not for angels—for people on the margins, for the devout in the temple, for anyone ready to receive grace. The Creator who once wrapped the universe in darkness now lies wrapped in swaddling clothes, and the Father fills the sky with a choir no earthly parent could hire.The closing challenge lands close to home: angels announced, but now we advance. If we carry Christ, then we carry his message—clearly, kindly, and courageously. Listen, reflect, and share the hope: Jesus is Savior, Messiah, and Lord.

Today's guest is Kevin Secours. Kevin is a veteran martial arts coach, author, and former security professional with decades of experience across Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and Russian Systema. Holding five black belts (including an 8th-dan), Kevin has worked extensively in real-world contexts while also teaching meditation, solo training, and strength rituals. He is the author of Rituals of Strength and Unconstrained, and is known for blending martial tradition, modern training theory, psychology, and philosophical inquiry into human development and resilience The conditioning and tempering of the body in striking sports can draw interesting parallels to collisions needed in jumping, sprinting and landing activities. We can also draw many lessons and ideas from the exercise tradition that goes back centuries with martial arts practice. By understanding combat training disciplines, we can draw out universal application for general movement and performance. In this episode, we explore the deeper purpose of physical training through martial arts and sport performance. Kevin reflects on early experiences with body hardening, cold exposure, and Zen-influenced practice, examining where such methods build resilience and where they become self-destructive. Drawing parallels to sprinting, jumping, and strength training, we discuss collisions, long isometric holds, ritualized discomfort, and fatigue as tools for cultivating awareness, reducing excess tension, and supporting longevity.

Training should serve health and preparedness, not destroy the body you are trying to protect. Exposure must be progressive and intentional, not reckless. Body tension, trauma, and reading the athlete Chronic tension often reflects psychological history, not just physical limitations. Coaches should first understand an athlete's motive for training. Creating a safe and inclusive environment allows tension to unwind. Exhaustion can reveal new movement options and reduce overthinking. Isometrics, Soviet methods, and slow strength Long isometric holds build physical strength and mental resilience. Slow strength exposes weak links that fast movement can hide. Discomfort creates space for reflection and adaptability. Training methods were shaped by harsher living conditions and necessity. Journaling, drawing, and learning through reflection Writing and sketching reinforce learning more deeply than words alone. Stick figures and simple drawings improve memory and understanding. Documentation is a form of legacy and long term learning. Mindset, adaptability, and mental speed Adaptability in movement reflects adaptability in thinking. Exposure to opposing viewpoints builds cognitive flexibility. Speed is as much mental as it is physical. Ego and rigid beliefs limit learning and performance. Representativeness, ritual, and resilience Not all training must look like competition to have value. Ritual builds consistency and meaning in training. Resilience is a universal quality that transfers across contexts. Training should include experiences where the athlete loses and adapts. Simplify versus deconstruct in training Simplify first to preserve the integrity of the whole movement. Deconstruct only when specific limitations appear. Always return to full movement patterns after isolation. End sessions with success to reinforce confidence. Microdosing discomfort and daily resilience Small daily challenges build long term mental toughness. Discomfort activates the neural centers tied to willpower. Ritualized discomfort is more effective than occasional extremes. Resilience can be trained deliberately and safely. Comfort seeking and modern training challenges Humans naturally seek comfort when it is available. Modern environments require intentional exposure to challenge. Training should balance safety, stress, and adaptability. Long term growth comes from controlled adversity, not avoidance. Quotes from Kevin Secours “Motive matters more than method. The why has to be bigger than the how.” “Repetition does not make perfect. You can be perfectly bad at something.” “Every technique is like a snowflake. No two are the same.” “Resilience is the most universal commodity you have.” “The greatest relaxation comes from exhaustion.” “Training should not be trauma.” “If you quit midway, you are more likely to come back.” “We are comfort seekers.” About Kevin Secours Kevin Secours is a martial arts coach and author focused on practical skill development, resilience, and real-world application of movement and combat principles. Drawing from decades of training and coaching experience, his work bridges traditional martial arts, modern performance thinking, and personal development. Kevin is known for clear teaching, depth of insight, and an emphasis on adaptability, awareness, and lifelong practice.
