The McGraw Show 6-3-26: Steve Smith, SW AIR, Thriller, Realtors, Spencer Pratt & Scott Pelley by

Seth Fassano, Santiago Zuluaga, and Steve Smith talk Figgy, Kai Asakura, Thrill on the hill, what's next for David Benavidez, and more.

Today our guest is Steve Smith, CEO and co-founder of IntelliSpark. Steve shares how IntelliSpark helps educators get to know students as people — not just learners — by making it easier to capture, share, and act on student information across an entire school team in real time. He also explains how the platform addresses two persistent gaps in schools: the friction of sharing critical student information between educators, and the lack of just-in-time support for teachers who encounter a student need but aren't sure what to do next. In this conversation, Steve offers important reminders for educators and leaders: When educators know something personal about a student, even a brief conversation about it can shift the entire relationship and improve academic outcomes. Critical information about a student — a loss, a struggle, a win — too often stays with one adult instead of reaching the whole team, and that gap has real consequences. Most professional development is episodic, but the moments that require it are daily. Educators need tools and strategies available to them in real time, not just at the start of the year. Every interaction with a student can be a pivotal one, even when neither the educator nor the student knows it at the time.

Steve Smith and Dave Anderson mark episode 300 of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast with a mix of shoutouts, reflection, and sharp commentary on the state of American college tennis. The episode opens with congratulations to Dave on his induction into the North Dakota Tennis Hall of Fame and a tribute to the late Dr. Jim Loehr, whose work on the mental side of tennis remains as relevant as ever.The centerpiece is a reading of a spoof Steve wrote years ago, a fairy tale reimagining of Patrick McEnroe's time juggling three major roles in American tennis simultaneously, landing with humor but carrying a serious message about focus and accountability. The episode closes with a frank conversation about the University of Arkansas dropping its tennis program, the broader crisis facing college tennis, and why more Americans need to be both playing and teaching the sport they love.

The post-pandemic era transformed private credit into one of the hottest areas in finance as investors chased double-digit returns, creating a multi-trillion-dollar industry. Now, the narrative is quickly shifting as default rates climb, high-profile bankruptcies expose hidden leverage, and some major funds suddenly freeze withdrawals. So just how worried should we be, and what about Asian private credit specifically? Steve Smith, co-founder of Maybole Capital Partners and a finance veteran who has weathered eight credit cycles over his 40-year career, joins John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast. He outlines why he believes Asia is already in the "bust" phase of the credit cycle and explains why the region's bespoke, multi-jurisdictional private credit market is inherently riskier than the highly standardized US market. Smith also discusses his family office's strategic investments, highlighting catastrophe bonds as an alternative fixed-income asset offering highly consistent, uncorrelated returns.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steve Smith and Dave Anderson dedicate the latest episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast to one of the most fundamental and overlooked topics in tennis teaching: grips. Responding to listener requests to go back to basics, Steve works through his notes on the subject while he and Dave dig into why so many players, even experienced ones, are holding the racket incorrectly and why so few coaches are doing enough about it.The conversation covers everything from the math behind bevel changes and racket face angles, to the grip habits of all-time greats like Borg, Connors, McEnroe, and Graf. Steve and Dave make the case that getting grips right from the beginning is not just a technical detail but the foundation everything else is built on, and that slowing down to get it right early is one of the most important things a coach or parent can do for a young player.

Steve Smith and Dave Anderson pick up where they left off on the latest episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, turning their attention to Patrick McEnroe's official rebuttal to Wayne Bryan's open letter.

With Craig Tiley now at the helm of the USTA, both hosts express cautious optimism while making clear that the problems Wayne Bryan identified over a decade ago are still very much alive today.

Dave reads the letter in full while the two hosts pause to reflect on each point, drawing on their own decades of experience in the trenches of American tennis development.The letter pulls no punches, taking aim at the under-10 mandate, the glut of foreign players in college tennis, the downfalls of USTA player development, and the systematic sidelining of local coaches and parents who are actually doing the work. Steve and Dave add their own stories and observations throughout, making the case that the problems Wayne Bryan identified years ago have only deepened, and that the solutions, as always, start at the grassroots level.

The verdict is in. In one of the first major trials in the social media addiction litigation, juries have now ruled — and the implications are massive. In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Steve Smith returns to break down what just happened in the Meta lawsuit, including verdicts in both New Mexico and Los Angeles, and what they reveal about how social media platforms are designed. This is no longer theory. The courts have now recognized that these platforms may be engineered for addiction — and that harm to children is real.  What You'll Learn: What the Meta lawsuit verdict actually proved  Why this case focuses on algorithms — not content How platforms are designed to maximize engagement and dependency The role of Section 230 and why it may not apply here What this means for future lawsuits across tech (gaming, gambling, etc.) Why this could become one of the largest mass torts in history  Key Insight: This case isn't about what users post. It's about how platforms are built to keep you scrolling — and what happens when that design causes real harm.  Guest: Steve Smith Vice President of Business Development, Broughton Partners  Why This Matters: If you're a parent, attorney, or even just someone who spends hours a day on your phone, this conversation will change how you think about social media. Because the question is no longer if these platforms are addictive… It's what happens now that it's been proven.
