Podcasts about Straker

ETP#220 is the part two follow-up to last week's episode, and this is the one we really wanted to get to. We ran out of road last week before doing CrossFit Pacific Beach any justice, so this episode picks right back up there and runs all the way through the rest of the arc: going online, the failed business that taught Bryan everything, the origins of Straker Nutrition, building Undefeated, and Aaron winning his pro card on the first try.The throughline is the same as part one. Spotting the gap in the market before anyone else does, putting in the reps when no one's watching, leaning on the people around you, and making things so simple it'd be unreasonable to screw them up. A lot of what looks like luck in hindsight is really just opportunity meeting preparation, over and over again.Before we get into it, Aaron's got some big news that we're both pretty fired up about.Covered in this episode:Big news: a little baby Straker (a boy) is coming in December, and Bryan's headed to Steamboat to celebrate his wife's birthday, twelve years after the trip that made him want to move to the mountains in the first placeUpdates: new Paragon hypertrophy cycles starting 6/22 with the core challenge, and a reminder on Good Labs (code STRAKER for an additional 20% off the cheapest labs in the US)How CrossFit PB built its reputation as the gym where everyone was actually jacked, and why Bryan refused to just do CrossFit for the sake of CrossFitThe first real business goal: getting to $35K a year each so they could quit their day jobs, and the absolutely brutal 5:30am-to-midnight grind it took to get thereSharing a wall with an urgent care, opening a second location as a safety net, then maxing out bothWhen the love started fading: the CrossFit burnout, the animosity with Anders, the balloon rent payment, and the slow unwindGoing online before it was a thing, building Evolved Training Systems, and spotting the price gap in the marketThe failed business (Active Traveler Network) and why underpricing the market and failing taught Bryan everything he needed to succeed laterJenny's "I'm not rolling any fucking dice, I'm making this happen" moment and how reframing it took failure off the tableThe COVID inflection point: dumbbell-only programs ready to go the day the world shut down, and why removing everyone's excuses produced better resultsThe origin of Straker Nutrition: spotting the gap between female-led coaching and male bodybuilding prep, and serving the people in the middleBuilding Undefeated around equipment because bodybuilders build better gyms than businessmen doThe pro card: going from "natural Aaron who said he'd never compete" to winning on his first attempt, the TRT goal physique that left him feeling empty, and the pressure Jackson put on himStructuring the prep like a pro, turning the brain off, and the "crack in the dam" philosophyWhy posing is the worst, and using accountability to your circle as the thing that actually drives youClosing thoughts: don't fear failure, expand your network, and drop the ego that keeps you from hiring a coachTimestamps: 00:00 Intro: Chasing Big Goals Part 2 00:55 Updates + Bryan's Big Party Weekend Recap 01:35 Steamboat Springs and the 12-Year Mountain Dream 03:15 Aaron's Big News + Good Labs Reminder 05:05 How CrossFit PB Differentiated on Training 06:50 Bodybuilding First, Metcon Second 11:25 The First Business Goal: Quitting the Day Jobs 13:30 Two Locations, the Urgent Care War, and Maxing Out 14:10 Falling Out of Love: Burnout and the Unwind 16:50 Going Online and Building Evolved 20:00 The Paragon Partnership and the COVID Surge 24:00 The Failed Business That Taught Him Everything 26:30 Jenny's "I'm Not Rolling Dice" Reframe 28:50 The COVID Inflection Point for SNC 33:30 Lockdown Life and Spotting the Software Exit 35:00 The Origin of Straker Nutrition 39:00 Building Expertise (and Hiding in Education) 40:00 Building Undefeated Around Equipment 42:30 The Pro Card: From "Never Competing" to First Try 43:00 The TRT Goal Physique That Left Him Empty 45:30 Deciding to Prep + Jackson's Pressure 47:00 Structuring the Prep Like a Pro 48:30 Making It Too Simple to Fail + The Crack in the Dam 51:30 Why Posing Is the Worst 55:00 Get Your Circle on Your Side 56:00 Closing Thoughts: Network, Ego, and Hiring a Coach Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

ETP#219 (Part 1) is all about chasing big goals. If you've listened for a while you know we talk a ton about training, a decent amount about nutrition, and honestly not enough about the prosper side. This episode leans into that third pillar. Between the two of us we've moved across the country (and the world), changed careers, built gyms, build successful coaching and training businesses, and turned pro. With plenty of wins and a fair share of losses along the way. And the behind the scenes of how those things actually came together is where the real value is.So we each break down the foundations we've used for deciding if a big goal is actually worth the time, energy, and relationship cost it's going to demand. Because it will demand it. Your life is already full, and you cannot just stack a big goal on top of a full life without trading in the pursuit of a new big goal.We got deep enough into the examples that we ran out of time before giving CrossFit PB the conversation it deserves. So that story, plus the pro card win and the Paragon origin, is coming next week in Part 2.Covered in this episode:Updates: new Paragon physique cycles starting 6/22 with a six-week abs challenge, and Bryan digging further into his kidney labs (cystatin C, UACR, urinalysis)Aaron officially partnering with Good Labs, the best priced blood work in the US by a wide margin (code STRAKER for an additional 20% off)Why a big goal needs deep personal relevancy, and why purely money-motivated goals fall apart fastGetting goals out of your head and into spoken words, and why "word is bond" means being really selective with what you commit toSupport systems and accountability, and the reality that we've let ourselves down hundreds of times but never someone elseGoing into business with friends versus going solo, and why it's better for good business partners to become friends than good friends to become business partnersBeing honest about the trade-offs, including Aaron telling Jenny "I'm going to be really selfish for the next five months" before prepSimplifying execution down to daily chunks so small it would be unreasonable to screw them upDiscipline turning into motivation turning into obsessionWriting the CrossFit PB business plan in coffee shops, and dealing with the friends who don't believe in youBryan cashing out the Amazon stock he bought at 13 (at a loss) to fund his San Diego moveThe weekly master plan meeting Aaron and Jenny have kept every single week since 2018Timestamps:00:00 Intro: Chasing Big Goals01:20 Updates: Paragon Physique Cycles and Abs Challenge02:55 Bryan's Kidney Lab Deep Dive06:00 Aaron's Good Labs Partnership + Coaching Opportunities08:25 How We Laid This Episode Out + Our Examples12:50 Deep Personal Relevancy15:00 Speaking Goals Into Existence16:05 Support Systems and Accountability17:25 Business With Friends vs. Going Solo21:30 Being Honest About the Costs and Trade-offs23:50 Simplify Into Daily Action Chunks25:30 Bryan's Foundations: Passion and Obsession28:55 Discipline to Motivation to Obsession30:30 Writing the CrossFit PB Business Plan32:30 Buy-In From Your People and Handling Doubters36:20 No Solutions, Only Trade-offs39:05 Moving Across the Country: Our Two Stories43:00 The Master Plan: Weekly Planning Meetings46:00 Separation of Duties and the Undefeated Build50:45 Why CrossFit PB Deserves Its Own Episode (Part 2 Teaser) Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

Daniel Sebesta joins Florian and Esther on the pod to talk about the latest language industry news, AI translation developments, and key insights from the Slator Pro Guide: Growth Hacks for Language Technology Platforms (LTPs).The trio begin with TransPerfect's latest financial results, which reported USD 1.32 billion in revenue, up 7% year on year. They also discuss leadership changes at Straker, where founder Grant Straker stepped down as CEO after more than 25 years.Florian shares new AI-powered contextual features in Google Translate that allow users to refine translations and adjust tone or phrasing. Daniel believes these interactive capabilities aim to improve trust in AI systems by giving users more visibility and control over translation outputs.The discussion also turns to ElevenLabs and its partnership with Deutsche Telekom to embed live translation into phone calls. The integration could enable real-time multilingual conversations, summaries, and contextual assistance for telecom customers.The trio then cover Walmart's internal AI localization initiative, where the system now translates millions of catalog items across 22 languages while reducing translation costs by about 99%.Daniel concludes by outlining the Growth Hacks Pro Guide, which explores strategies for scaling LTPs. He highlights areas such as go-to-market strategy, partnerships with language solutions integrators, enterprise sales execution, and security readiness as key drivers of scalable growth.

Coaches Conversations: Chris Straker by Kennesaw State Athletics

The world of prehospital medicine is constantly evolving, driven by new research, technological advancements, and a shared commitment to improving patient care and provider well-being. As EMS professionals, staying informed about these developments goes beyond a professional obligation; it is an opportunity to improve our practice, champion our profession, and ultimately make a greater impact on saving lives. In this article, we will explore some of the latest research findings that are reshaping our field, from workplace culture to cutting-edge technology.   The Culture of Care: Supporting EMS Providers Our work is demanding, both physically and emotionally, and the culture within our agencies plays a critical role in our well-being. A recent systematic review in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health revealed that many EMS providers avoid using organizational mental health services due to stigma and a perception that these programs lack genuine care. The study emphasizes the need for person-centered support and a cultural shift that normalizes seeking help as a sign of strength (Johnston et al., 2025). This cultural component also impacts retention. Another study in the same journal found that agencies with collaborative, team-oriented "clan" cultures had significantly lower turnover rates compared to those with rigid or chaotic structures. For leaders in EMS, fostering a supportive environment is not just about morale. It is a strategic imperative for retaining skilled clinicians (Kamholz et al., 2025).   Professional Recognition: Breaking Barriers Across the globe, paramedics are striving for recognition as integrated healthcare professionals. A qualitative study in BMC Health Services Research identified common barriers, including outdated legislation, inconsistent regulation, and insufficient funding. While the pandemic temporarily highlighted our capabilities, the momentum has waned. The study calls for targeted policy reforms and investments in education and leadership to solidify our role in the broader healthcare system (Feerick et al., 2025). Physical Demands and Injury Prevention The physical toll of our work is undeniable. A scoping review in Applied Ergonomics confirmed that musculoskeletal injuries, particularly to the back, are rampant in EMS. Tasks like handling stretchers and patient extractions are among the most strenuous. The review also highlighted fitness disparities, with male paramedics generally showing more strength but less flexibility than their female counterparts. These findings underscore the need for targeted injury prevention programs and realistic physical standards to keep us safe throughout our careers (Marsh et al., 2025).   Advancements in Cardiac Arrest Care When it comes to cardiac arrest, every second counts. A study in Resuscitation reinforced the value of bystander CPR, showing that dispatcher-assisted CPR significantly improves outcomes for untrained bystanders. For those with prior CPR training, acting independently yielded even better results. This highlights the importance of public CPR education alongside dispatcher support (Tagami et al., 2025). On the scene, our interventions matter immensely. Research in The Journal of Emergency Medicine found that for traumatic cardiac arrest patients, aggressive interventions like prehospital thoracostomy can be lifesaving (McWilliam et al., 2025). Meanwhile, a study in Critical Care Medicine revealed that extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) significantly improves outcomes for patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation, emphasizing the need for early transport to specialized centers.   The Role of Technology in EMS Technology is poised to revolutionize EMS, from dispatch to diagnosis. A study in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT could prioritize ambulance requests with remarkable accuracy, aligning with expert paramedic decisions over 76 percent of the time. This proof of concept suggests that AI could one day enhance resource allocation in dispatch centers (Shekhar et al., 2025). On the diagnostic front, machine learning is opening new possibilities. For example, a study in Bioengineering showed that analyzing photoplethysmography waveforms could estimate blood loss in trauma patients, offering a non-invasive way to guide resuscitation (Gonzalez et al., 2025). Similarly, research in Medical Engineering & Physics explored using multidimensional data to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic strokes in the field, potentially enabling more targeted prehospital care (Alshehri et al., 2025).   Addressing Disparities in Care Equity in EMS is a cornerstone of our profession, yet recent studies highlight troubling disparities. Research in JAMA Network Open found that ambulance offload times were significantly longer in communities with higher proportions of Black residents (Zhou et al., 2025). Another study in JAMA Surgery revealed that Black and Asian trauma patients were less likely to receive helicopter transport compared to White patients. These findings are a call to action for all of us to examine our systems and biases to ensure equitable care for every patient (Mpody et al., 2025).   Looking Ahead The research discussed here represents just a fraction of the advancements shaping EMS today. From improving workplace culture and injury prevention to leveraging AI and addressing systemic inequities, these findings have real-world implications for our protocols, training, and advocacy efforts. As EMS professionals, we have a responsibility to stay informed and apply these insights to our practice.

People sometimes describe Tom Straker s a “TikTok chef” or an “Instagram chef,” and yes, it's true that he has millions and millions and millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok, and that he's known across the globe for his mesmeric butter-making videos, among many other things. But Tom's also the real deal — a chef who trained at the Ledbury, the Dorchester and headed up the kitchen Casa Cruz before trying his hand, one day in lockdown, at making a cooking video for a few hundred followers. That first attempt was pretty dreadful, he admits — but now he runs an entire studio to produce his content, while his adoring fans flock from around the world to Straker's, his new-ish restaurant in Notting Hill, which thoroughly lives up to the excellent reviews its had since its opening at the end of last year. A second is set to open in Manhattan in just a few months time.    Tom and I spoke about all sorts of things in this episode, recorded in the office above Straker's on the Golborne Road — including his earliest food memory, the ridiculous suit that he wore to his first interview at the Dorchester, his plans to shake up the butter market, and his advice for anyone unsure of what they want to do in life.

Tonight, we'll read the conclusion to “The Adventure of Silver Blaze,” a story found in “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published in 1892. If you haven't listened to the first half of this story yet, it was the episode that aired right before this one.One of the most popular Sherlock Holmes short stories, "Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the winning race horse on the eve of an important race and on the apparent murder of its trainer. In the first episode, Sherlock and Watson travel to Dartmoor to investigate the disappearance of the great race horse Silver Blaze and the murder of the horse's trainer, John Straker. Bookmaker Fitzroy Simpson had come to Dartmoor to gather information about Silver Blaze and his stablemate Bayard. He had approached both Straker's maid and a stable boy the night of the horse's disappearance and has been arrested for the murder.— read by N — Listen Ad-Free on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
