How do you help an industry innovate at breakneck speed while ensuring consumer protection, trust, and regulatory compliance? And what role should an association play in bringing competitors, regulators, and innovators together to shape the future of an emerging industry?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Phil Goldfeder, CEO of the American Fintech Council (AFC). Phil discusses:How AFC has grown from roughly 25 members to more than 175 members and partners, while maintaining a retention rate above 95%.Why AFC intentionally brings fintech companies and banks together under one roof, creating collaboration rather than competition.How AFC differentiates itself as a standards-based organization that embraces regulation, compliance, and consumer protection.Phil's career journey from public service, including roles with Chuck Schumer, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the New York State Legislature, to banking and association leadership.How Hurricane Sandy exposed the need for innovation in insurance and financial services and helped shape Phil's professional path.Why Phil believes association leadership is remarkably similar to elected office: both are fundamentally about service, engagement, and impact.How AFC creates “safe spaces” where member CEOs can openly discuss challenges, best practices, and emerging business models.AFC's advocacy efforts to educate policymakers and regulators on fintech innovations such as Buy Now, Pay Later and Earned Wage Access programs.How AFC's annual summit maintains an intimate, collaborative atmosphere even as attendance has grown dramatically.References:AFC Website

What We Cover In This Episode:  Why standards problems are the hidden cause behind almost every studio frustration, and some Nick's Nuggets to keep them simple [2:16] Where to actually start with studio standards, without writing a 50-page handbook you'll never finish [4:05] A test you can run to see exactly what your staff does (and doesn't do) when nobody's watching [6:58] How to set standards for your instructors without micromanaging or killing their creative flair [9:53] The difference between giving instructors structure versus controlling every cue, song, and word [10:19] How to handle a client who keeps ignoring studio rules without losing them or starting a conflict [13:07] Why posting your rules publicly protects your instructors just as much as it informs your members [15:35] How to empower your instructors to shut down disruptive behavior in the moment, and back them up when they do [16:33] How often you should actually review and update your studio standards [19:50] Why a new hire's question is the perfect excuse to refresh the whole team, not just the newbie [20:52] Quotes:  "There is a difference between standardizing the experience so that clients know what to expect at a high level versus scripting the class word-for-word. [Nick, 10:22] "You can't let clients bully you around but also, if you allow them to ignore the rules you've put in place it's like a cancer. It's just going to spread and the situation is going to get worse and worse because you didn't have the hard conversation up front with them." [Nick, 15:01] "I think everything in life is just constant iterations. I wouldn't do this to the point where you are confusing your staff where it's like every quarter, we have a new policy in place or the rules change."

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast! In this week's episode, I'm joined by my friend Deb for a candid conversation about dating, self-worth, healing old wounds, and what happens when you finally decide you're no longer available for less than you deserve.Deb and I first connected online years ago, but our friendship deepened during a trip to Napa when she was navigating a difficult breakup and questioning the kinds of relationships she had been accepting. What followed was a powerful journey of raising her standards, healing old patterns, and learning to stop seeking validation from people who were never capable of giving her what she truly wanted.This conversation feels less like an interview and more like two girlfriends sitting down with a glass of wine and talking about the lessons that changed everything.In This Episode We Discuss:How ambitious women often settle for less than they deserve in relationshipsThe difference between wanting a relationship and needing validationWhy self-worth isn't something you think—it's something you embodyThe hidden patterns that keep us choosing unavailable or low-effort partnersHow childhood wounds can quietly influence our dating decisionsThe importance of communicating needs and expectations clearlyWhy raising your standards isn't selfish—it's necessaryLearning to trust yourself instead of chasing approvalHow healing emotional wounds creates space for healthier relationshipsThe difference between knowing your worth and actually living like you know your worthA Few Powerful Truths From This Conversation:Just because someone is interested in you doesn't mean they're right for you.Attention and effort are not the same thing.Being independent doesn't make you immune to wanting love, connection, and partnership.Standards aren't walls—they're filters.You don't have to earn healthy love.The Biggest Takeaway:One of the most powerful shifts Deb experienced wasn't finding the right relationship—it was becoming the version of herself who no longer accepted the wrong ones.When you stop settling, everything changes.Not because the dating pool changes.Because you do.Connect With Us:If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that they are allowed to want more.And if you're doing the work of raising your standards, healing old wounds, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks, come join us inside the Embodied Baddie community.Until next time, stay audacious, stay embodied, and never settle for crumbs when you're meant for the whole damn meal.

People mistakenly believe that the concept of modest dress is relevant only to women, whereas men can dress in any way they like. This is incorrect. There are certain restrictions on dress that apply to men. The basic principle is that one must realize that he is constantly in the presence of G-d. Even when a person is in the privacy of his home, and even alone in his bedroom, he must be cognizant of the fact that Hashem fills the earth and accompanies him at all times. King Shaul was praised for his high standards of modesty, as he went into a dark cave to perform his bodily functions, and even inside the cave, he exposed himself only as needed, out of an awareness of G-d's presence. Accordingly, the Shulhan Aruch rules that a person must put something on before getting out of the bed in the morning. Long ago, people would sleep under their blankets unclothed, and the Shulhan Aruch writes that before a person steps out of bed, he should put his garment on under his blankets so he will not be exposed upon leaving his bed. This applies even if the room is dark, as Hashem can see even in the dark. The Poskim debate the question of whether the Shulhan Aruch intended this instruction as an actual Halachic requirement, or only as an admirable practice, a measure of piety that is recommended for the sake of demonstrating one's awareness of G-d's omnipresence. Rav Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986) maintained that there is no strict halachic obligation for a man to avoid being exposed in private, and the Shulhan Aruch's ruling was written only as a recommended practice, a proper mode of behavior for a G-d-fearing individual. By contrast, the Mishneh Halachot (Rav Menashe Klein, 1923-2011) maintained that this law constitutes an outright Halachic obligation, as the straightforward reading of the Shulhan Aruch and other sources suggests. Likewise, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that according to some Rishonim, these laws are required on the level of Torah law, and so they should be strictly observed. Nowadays, of course, people generally wear pajamas or undergarments when sleeping, so the Shulhan Aruch's instructions would apply in our time to changing one's clothes under the blanket, so that his private parts are not exposed. Many people would naturally find this difficult. Hacham David Yosef, in Halacha Berura, accepts Rav Moshe Feinstein's lenient position, that these guidelines were not presented as actual Halachic requirements, and so he rules that they may be suspended if they would cause considerable discomfort. Thus, if somebody finds it very difficult to get dressed under the blanket, this is not necessary. Hacham David writes that this was the position taken by his father, Hacham Ovadia Yosef. In fact, Rav Moshe himself ruled leniently if dressing under the blanket would take too much time, or if one cannot dress neatly in this fashion. Nevertheless, Rav Haim Kanievsky (1928-2022) taught that one who ensures not to expose his private parts while getting changed is worthy of special blessing. Rav Moshe adds that when walking about, a man must dress in a manner in which he would not feel ashamed appearing before ordinary people. When it comes to Tefila, one must dress in a way he would when greeting a prominent figure. At all other times, Rav Moshe writes, it suffices to dress in a manner that is not embarrassing. One's private parts, however, must of course always remain covered. Rav Haim Kanievsky took a more stringent position, writing that one must ensure not to expose his arms above the elbows, or his legs above his knees. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998) wrote that since people in modern society do not walk about barefoot, one should refrain from doing so even in his home. In fact, the Mishna Berura writes that since the feet are normally covered, it is proper to put one's socks on before getting out of bed in order not to expose his feet. The Piskeh Teshubot concluded that one may walk about barefoot in his home under hot weather conditions, when covering the feet is uncomfortable. However, even the Mishna Berura conceded that in Mediterranean countries, where many people walk about barefoot, it is permissible to do so. It thus stands to reason that the guiding principle is the accepted practice in any given locale. In communities where it is not deemed acceptable to walk about with exposed feet, or in short sleeves or shorts, one should abide by the community's standards. In places where these modes of dress are acceptable, then they are allowed. Indeed, Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that one is allowed even to pray wearing very short sleeves or short pants if this mode of dress is accepted in his community (though he added that a person dressed this way should not serve as Hazan). Likewise, despite the Mishna Berura's aforementioned ruling that one should put on his socks before getting out of bed, numerous later Poskim – including the Hazon Ish, the Steipler Gaon, and Hacham Ovadia Yosef – ruled leniently in this regard. This is likely due to the fact that it has become more acceptable to walk about with sandals without socks, and thus exposing one's feet is no longer considered undignified. By the same token, a man may take off his shirt when swimming in a pool or at the beach, as this is the accepted mode of dress in these areas. However, some Poskim ruled that if one is not swimming at the beach, but is playing ball or walking, he should wear a shirt. A man who goes to the Mikveh should not walk about the Mikveh unclothed, and should instead cover himself with a towel or robe on his way to and from the water. Some Poskim allow one to be unclothed in a restroom that has a bath or shower, as such a room has the status of a Bet Ha'merhatz (bathhouse), where it is permissible to be unclothed. Others, however, rule that this is not allowed unless one is planning to bathe. Summary: Men, like women, must adhere to appropriate standards of modest dress. The basic rule is that one must dress in a manner that is deemed respectable and dignified in the place where he is. In some communities, it is inappropriate to walk about in shorts, whereas in others this is allowed. At the beach or swimming pool, a man may remove his shirt. Nowadays it is generally deemed acceptable in most communities to wear sandals without socks, so this is permitted. When one needs to expose himself – such as when dressing, when bathing, when using the restroom, or in a Mikveh – one should expose himself only to the extent necessary, remaining cognizant of G-d's presence.

What if everything you've been chasing has never been the problem? In this powerful episode of Level Up + Live, Sean Meyers reveals the hard truth that transformed his life as a business owner, husband, athlete, and leader: you don't rise to your goals, you fall to your standards. From building an insurance agency and earning Million-Dollar Club and President's Club recognition to running at a pace he once thought was impossible, Sean shares why success wasn't created by wishful thinking or motivation. It came from raising the standards he was willing to live by every single day. He opens up about the painful seasons of working 14-hour days, sacrificing relationships, battling stress, and believing burnout was simply part of entrepreneurship. Then everything changed. By refusing to tolerate poor habits, missed commitments, and reactive living, he discovered that small standards create massive transformations. In this episode, Sean pulls back the curtain on the non-negotiable standards that shape his marriage, health, faith, leadership, and business. From weekly coffee dates with his wife and daily prayer to leadership accountability and intentional personal growth, he shares the practical habits that changed everything. If you've been frustrated because your goals aren't becoming reality, this conversation might challenge everything you thought you knew about success. The breakthrough isn't another strategy, another book, or another productivity hack. It's raising the standard. Because what you tolerate today becomes your reality tomorrow. And the question every leader eventually has to answer is this: What standard have you lowered, and what would happen if you raised it starting today? This episode will challenge entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, and anyone who is tired of settling for potential and ready to become the person their goals require. Listen now and discover why the quality of your life will never consistently rise above the standard you accept.

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Monday to accelerate the federal government's transition to post-quantum encryption and reprioritize government financing to support the domestic quantum computing industry. The orders, which CyberScoop first reported on last year, direct the government to throw its weight behind the quantum computing industry. They are part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to put its stamp on the development of another key emerging technology. Ahead of the signing, sources previewed details of those orders to CyberScoop. Per one of those sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss pending administration actions, a “whole of government approach is used to empower research and development into quantum computing, as well as quantum sensing [and other resources].” They described the Trump administration's attitude for propping up industry as “don't let us miss out on prioritizing the feeders for the research or the development of quantum.” The second order requires federal civilian networks to adopt quantum-resistant encryption faster than the current 2035 deadline. The new encryption algorithms, vetted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, will protect against future quantum computer attacks. Agencies that miss the new deadline must report to the Office of Management and Budget explaining why. Four proposed rules to begin formally overhauling 20 sections of the Federal Acquisition Regulation were published in the Federal Register on Tuesday. While the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council has been rewriting and deviating from the FAR for over a year now as part of what it's calling “the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul”, the unpublished proposed rules are a step toward codification of these changes. Over a combined total of more than 1,000 pages of proposed rules, the overhaul would establish regular regulatory reviews and sunsets, as well as move the bid protest system to the agencies involved in disputes instead of the Government Accountability Office. The FAR update comes in response to an April 2025 executive order mandating the procurement policy be pared down to the essentials and presented in plain language, void of any “undue barriers” and “unnecessary regulations.” The FAR has not been significantly updated in 40 years.

A discussion that addresses the Challenges, Standards, and Solutions Bred to Perfection: The Progressive White Problem, Standards Debate & Breeding Q&A In this episode, Kenny Troiano and his wife Nancy return and provide updates and announce that Tony Saville will be back on June 12 for a multi-episode discussion tackling some of the most debated topics in the gamefowl world, including inbreeding and the American Gamefowl standard. Kenny shares his frustration over a heated Facebook dispute involving a group to push a new American Gamefowl standard into the APA's Standard of Perfection. He breaks down his objections to their proposals, ranging from the light red/yellow leg variety and pea comb inclusion to allowing progressive white and renaming the breed "American Pit Game." Kenny explains why true standards must be built on uniformity, consistency, and repeatability, and why defects like progressive white should be bred out, not accepted. The conversation expands into the importance of breeder mindset, the difference between "pure families" and performance-based selection, and the long-term consequences of ignoring genetic fundamentals. Kenny also outlines his plan to collaborate with Brian Reeder to produce educational material focused on understanding and eliminating progressive white. The episode wraps up with a lively Q&A session covering practical breeding challenges, including: Feather picking in chicks Managing skittish behavior When and why to cull birds at any age Building strains from trios or crosses Color genetics, including spangled and blue varieties Packed with strong opinions, real-world experience, and actionable advice, this episode sets the stage for next week's in-depth debates, while delivering valuable insights for breeders at every level. #PoultryBreeding #Gamefowl #ChickenGenetics #BreedingPrograms #AmericanGamefowl #PoultryStandards #SelectiveBreeding #BackyardPoultry #ChickenBreeders #LivestockGenetics #HomesteadingLife #AvianGenetics Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

A nervous man is not the same as an unavailable man.A man who talks too much about himself on date two is not the same as a man who can't show up for you. A man who takes time to ask the right questions is not the same as a man who never will. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped telling the difference between a red flag and a human being.Real standards protect you. But sometimes what we call standards is actually a wall, and it's costing us the very thing we say we want.Modern dating has taught us to spot every red flag fast. What it hasn't taught us is how to tell a red flag apart from a man who's simply still learning you.

The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) recently put out another technical report. This technical report graded 700 teacher preparation programs across the country (Ellis, et al., 2026). However, a critical evaluation shows why this report can't be taken seriously. It contains an abundance of misinformation, disinformation, and convenient inaccuracies. It's not known if these were intentional on the part of the writers or a result of a lack of knowledge. If you're looking for accessible, research-based information that slices through the endless loads of overly worded baloney, I would encourage you to subscribe to my free Substack, The Reading Instruction Show.

Major events, market narratives, and retirement planning may seem like completely different topics, but they all share a common theme: understanding the forces that shape financial outcomes before they show up in your portfolio.The FIFA World Cup is bringing the world's attention to the United States, but some of the biggest winners may never step onto the field. From hotels and restaurants to transportation providers and local businesses, we'll examine how major sporting events generate economic activity, who benefits most from the influx of visitors, and whether the long-term economic impact lives up to the promises often made by host cities.We'll also look at several stories dominating the headlines — from SpaceX's first week of trading, developments in the Iran conflict, and Kevin Warsh's first Federal Reserve meeting — and discuss why markets increasingly respond to sentiment, geopolitics, and cultural events alongside traditional economic data. Finally, Health Savings Accounts are often praised as one of the most powerful tax-advantaged savings tools available, but accumulating assets is only half the equation. We'll explore how retirees can strategically use HSA balances, when it makes sense to pay medical expenses from other accounts, and why these accounts can create unexpected tax consequences for heirs. Because with HSAs, the real challenge isn't building the balance — it's developing a plan to use it effectively.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Championship coaching is not just about holding a trophy at the end of the season. It is about having a system, clear standards, organized practices, and the right tools when your team needs them most. In this episode, Coach breaks down why he built teachhoops.com and how it helps coaches stop guessing, stop chasing random drills, and start coaching with purpose. Most coaches are not losing because they do not care. They care deeply. They watch film.They plan late at night.They text players.They deal with parents.They try to fix turnovers, rebounding, defense, culture, and leadership. The problem is not effort. The problem is overload. That is why coaches need a system. A championship coach has: A clear identity A practice plan with purpose Standards that do not change when things get hard A way to diagnose problems A system for player development Tools for culture, leadership, and communication Confidence walking into the gym each day Championship coaching is not magic. It is clarity, consistency, standards, and preparation. Everybody can find a drill. But a drill without a purpose is just activity. Activity is not the same as improvement. Championship coaches do not just run drills. They build habits. And habits are built through organized, intentional practice. teachhoops.com helps coaches stop staring at a blank practice plan and wondering what to do next. It gives coaches access to: Practice plans Offensive ideas Defensive systems Culture tools Player development resources Special situations Parent communication tools Leadership frameworks Season and offseason planning ideas If your team is turning the ball over, the average coach says: “We need to take care of the ball.” The championship coach asks: Why are we turning it over? Is it spacing?Weak catches?No pivots?Too much dribbling?Poor passing angles?Pressure we did not prepare for? Once you diagnose the real problem, you can actually coach the solution. The playbook is not always the hardest part. The hardest part is: Getting players to buy in Getting them to talk Getting them to compete Getting them to respond after mistakes Getting them to accept roles Getting them to care about the little things That is culture. And culture is not a poster. Culture is what you practice. teachhoops.com is built for: Young coaches who need a foundation Experienced coaches who want to tighten details Youth coaches who need structure High school coaches building a full program Coaches tired of guessing every week Coaches who want tools they can actually use tomorrow Coaching is hard enough — you do not need to do it alone More information is not always the answer A better system creates better coaching Random practices create random teams Systems create freedom, confidence, and clarity Championship coaching starts with preparation and standards Stop trying to become a better coach by only collecting more information. Become a better coach by building a better system. Use the plans.Use the templates.Use the culture tools.Take what fits your team and make it yours. If you want to stop guessing and start coaching with a championship system, go to: teachhoops.com Join us. Become a championship coach. And let's build better teams together.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is facing a residency challenge to his gubernatorial campaign.   The Justice Department dismissed a case seeking to enforce a moratorium on offshore and onshore windfarm permits. Instead they're buying back leases for windfarms, so that energy companies can develop natural gas plants in the midwest. Murica!   The DOJ is trying to take advantage of a half-assed plot to attack Trump's UFC to get the court to let him build his ballroom.    Doofus of the Day: Covid denier Alex Berenson, who got a $150,000 payout from the Trump administration because he got booted from Twitter in 2021.   MAIN SHOW:   It was an opinion day at SCOTUS, and every decision was authored by a bizarre coalition of justices. Of most interest was US v. Hemani, in which the Court held that regular marijuana use cannot be a reason to deny Americans the right to own a gun.   The US Attorneys Office in Minnesota announced conspiracy charges against protesters of the immigration surge into Minneapolis earlier this year. Like the Broadview 6 case, it's a transparent attempt to criminalize activities protected by the First Amendment and impose collective punishment on opponents of the administration's policies.   The Federal Trade Commission sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) in Texas, alleging that its Standards of Care document (SOC-8) violates Section 5 of the FTC Act.   SUBSCRIBERS: No FISA for you!

In this episode of EBRC In Translation, hosts Heidi Klumpe and Talia Jacobson interview Sam Schaffter, lead scientist for RNA synthetic biology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), about genetically encoded RNA circuits for real-time sensing of gene expression and their potential in diagnostics, therapeutics, and biotechnology. Sam describes his path from bioengineering and biochemistry at Purdue through DNA computing and molecular programming, to shifting toward cell-based synthetic biology after the 2019 SEED conference. He later joined NIST via an NRC postdoctoral fellowship. He compares national-lab and academic research environments, highlighting differences in equipment access and funding structures. Sam explains why RNA circuits enable programmable, portable molecular computation in dividing cells, outlines a long-term vision for pattern-recognition classifiers in living systems, and discusses limitations of current AI for RNA and protein function. He also emphasizes NIST's role in standards, reference materials, and improved RNA-level measurements such as nanopore sequencing. Sam will be at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Synthetic Biology Summer Course this year instructing modules on RNA Circuits, DNA nanostructures, and synthetic cells with Leo Green.For graduate students interested in exploring government postdocs, check out the National Research Council Research Associateship Program.

In this episode, Kristof sits down with sustainability expert Josh Jacobs to demystify the ins and outs of Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Product Category Rules (PCRs) and ISO Standards that are causing a decarbonization to happen around the world. Translating the complex data of an LCA into a standardized format, EPDs function as 'nutrition labels' for building materials, helping designers and specifiers count the 'carbon calories' of everything from steel girders to heat pumps. Josh and Kristof explore the critical shift from focusing exclusively upon operational carbon to including embodied carbon in the carbon reduction conversation, break down the cradle-to-grave phases of building materials, and offer actionable insights on using better data to make truly sustainable design decisions.Apologies that Kristof's mic was clipping. Josh JacobsJosh has helped numerous AHJs develop and implement sustainable purchasing policies and requirements, including but not limited to: the US General Service Administration, the US Military through the UFGS, the State of California, the city of New York, the Building Construction Authority of Singapore, and numerous universities and private businesses. Josh has also helped develop influential materials, human health, product emissions, and indoor air quality criteria in numerous global codes and rating systems, including but not limited to LEED v4 and v4.1, Fitwel, Green Globes, CALGreen, IgCC, ASHRAE 189.1, and BREEAM. He also works with organizations investor relations and sustainability teams to understand ESG financial reporting tools such as SASB, GRI, and TCF along with looking at their carbon footprint.Links from the EpisodeOrganizations Mentioned:MEP2040: An organization and steering committee focused on decarbonizing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.WAP Sustainability Consulting: A large life cycle assessment organization that helps manufacturers create EPDs.SLR: A global environmental and advisory firm that owns WAP.USGBC: The U.S. Green Building Council, associated with the LEED rating system.ASHRAE: The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.ISO: The International Organization for Standardization.NSF: An organization with an EPD program (distinct from the National Science Foundation - originally focused on water certification).UL: Underwriters Laboratories, an early EPD program operator in North America.ICC-ES: The International Code Council Evaluation Service, an EPD program operator.ASTM: An organization that features an EPD program.ANSI: The American National Standards Institute.CIBSE: The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers based in the UK.NAHB: The National Association of Home Builders.Standards and Financial ToolsISO 14040 / ISO 14044: International standards that provide the framework and guidelines for conducting LCAs.ISO 14025: The standard that governs how program operators run EPD programs and dictates what should be included in an EPD.ISO 21930: The overarching Product Category Rule (PCR) for building materials typically used in the Americas.EN 15804: The European equivalent to ISO 21930.ISO 20400: The standard for Sustainable Procurement.ASHRAE 189.1: A standard for the design of high-performance green buildings.IgCC: The International Green Construction Code.CIBSE TM65 / North American CIBSE/ASHRAE TM65: A standard that approximates an LCA to provide directionally accurate information when a full EPD is not available.SASB, GRI, TCFD: Sustainable financial reporting tools used by organizations and investor relations teams.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.

In this episode of Leadership on the Links, Tyler Bloom sits down with Darin Bevard, Senior Director of Championship Agronomy for the USGA Green Section, for a conversation spanning nearly three decades of service to the game at its highest level. Darin shares how a mentor's challenge early in his career led him to trade a comfortable assistant superintendent role for a position with the USGA in 1996, and how that decision shaped a career defined by championship preparation, industry leadership, and a deep commitment to developing the next generation of turf professionals. Recorded on the eve of the US Open at Shinnecock Hills, this episode offers a rare look at what it takes to prepare a championship golf course and the collaborative processes that drive decisions when the world's best players are watching. What You'll Learn in this Episode: How Darin's career path from Penn State and Talbot Country Club led him to the USGA, where he has served for nearly 30 years across roles in regional agronomy and championship preparation. The evolution of the USGA agronomist role, from handwritten consulting reports to data-driven course management supported by tools like the DEACON platform and GPS sprayer technology. How Darin thinks about balancing agronomic data with field observation, and why the most effective superintendents rely on both numbers and experience. The collaborative process behind US Open course setup, including how the USGA works with host clubs, setup teams, and player feedback to make incremental adjustments throughout championship week. Darin's perspective on the USGA's Greenkeeper Apprenticeship Program and why workforce development initiatives like this are critical to the long-term health of the industry. His excitement about autonomous mowing technology, the resurgence of turfgrass education programs, and the growing diversity of professionals entering the field. The personal dimension of a career in golf course management, including family members who have followed Darin into the industry.

Guten Morgen, Der Rechtsstreit zwischen Elon Musk und dem ZDF könnte erst der Anfang sein. Nachdem der Sender eine umstrittene Passage entfernt hat, schlägt Musks Anwalt Joachim Steinhöfel vor, weitere Medienberichte der vergangenen Jahre auf mögliche Rechtsverstöße prüfen zu wollen. Und ein weiteres Thema sorgt in Deutschland für Diskussionen: Viele Eigentümer sehen vermietete Wohnungen als wichtige Altersvorsorge. Gleichzeitig verunsichern neue Vorgaben, etwa zu Mieten, energetischen Standards und gesetzlichen Regeln, zunehmend den Markt. Außerdem haben die G7-Staaten gestern ihren Gipfel mit einer Reihe gemeinsamer Erklärungen beendet. Dabei betonen die westlichen Industriestaaten zunehmend die Verknüpfung von Sicherheits-, Wirtschafts- und Geopolitik.

You'll discover: ✅ Why motivation is a feeling — and feelings are fleeting ✅ How high-performing teams "fall back to their standards" under pressure ✅ The #1 mistake leaders make when onboarding new team members ✅ What a 6-year college baseball dynasty teaches us about building a winning culture ✅ How to stop micromanaging by creating an environment that polices itself Whether you're leading a team of 2 or 200, the secret to sustainable success isn't a better pep talk — it's establishing the non-negotiables that define who you are every single day. The best leaders don't motivate. They set the standard. 00:00 Introduction 00:11 Motivation vs Standards 01:18 Why Standards Last 01:54 Establishing High Standards 03:02 What Gets Tolerated Becomes Standard 04:12 Setting People Up to Fail 05:17 Building a Winning Culture 06:43 Standards Define Organizations 09:05 Key Takeaways

Josh Blackman examines the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, which prohibits executing individuals with low IQs. He highlights the subjectivity of IQ tests and the lack of constitutional basis for such standards. Blackman notes that defendants now have incentives to intentionally fail these tests to avoid the death penalty in federal court. (14)1937

Josh Blackman traces the modern history of the death penalty from the 1972 Furman case to 1976's Gregg v. Georgia. He critiques the "evolving standards of decency" doctrine used by the Warren Court, arguing it reflects the views of elites rather than the constitution or the broader American general voting public.

In a first-ever Woman of Influence Table Talk, I gather five powerhouse women in one room for a no-holds-barred conversation about what it really takes to build, hold, and protect true influence. I'm joined by Amy Porterfield, Stacy Tuschl, Leanne Lopez Mosley, Adley Kinsman, and Ashley Brock five women who have collectively built multi-million dollar businesses, generated billions of views, scaled iconic brands, and earned their elevation by doing the work most women aren't willing to do. We open the conversation with the question every woman in business needs to sit with: when did you first realize you had cultivated real influence, and what did it cost you? This is a raw and grounding conversation about being misunderstood, raising your standard when it's the most inconvenient, the people-pleasing patterns that quietly cap your influence, and why you cannot have any form of real influence and still chase universal approval. We talk about Amy's decision to retire a $60 million program and the public backlash that followed, Stacy's framework of "$100 million CEO" thinking, Adley's concept of Cringe Mountain, Leanne's evolution into Rich Queen and Soft Girl Millions, and Ashley's identity-shifting realization that she was a thought repeater, not a thought leader.

I cannot be misunderstood by somebody else if I am not misunderstanding who I am." - Leanne Lopez Mosley "I believe in this idea of earning your elevation, meaning doing the reps, staying in your lane, changing lives, being responsible for what you're doing. And at a certain point, you grow and you change, and you earn your elevation to do something different." - Amy Porterfield "When I'm in a bind or it's not convenient, I go, 'What would $100 million Stacey do?'" - Stacy Tuschl "I realized I was a thought repeater, not a thought leader." - Ashley Brock "Influence is very holy. This is where I get godly. It comes from the stars. It is a spiritual evolution and process of trusting that inner knowing and that inner guidance." - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: CONTENT THAT SELLS Without posting more, performing more, or sounding like everyone else.
