visit: https://www.ysguys.comDave McCann and Blaine Fowler open a truly global episode of Y's Guys — with viewers chiming in from Singapore, Cambodia, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and across Cougar Nation — by running down a stacked stretch of preseason news heading into the Sept. 5 opener against Utah Tech. BYU checks in at No. 6 in ESPN's preseason power rankings (per Mark Schlabach), running back LJ Martin picks up preseason Second Team All-America honors from USA Today and the AP along with Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year buzz, and Bret McMurphy's AP-voter research names BYU the single most underrated preseason team in the country over the last 12 years. National forecasters pile on from there: Stewart Mandel (New York Times) has BYU going 11-1 and winning the Big 12, while CBS Sports and CFB Kings both project the Cougars reaching the College Football Playoff.Former Cougar linebacker and current BYUtv football analyst Harvey Langi joins for the back half of the news segment, pulling back the curtain on NFL cutdown day — the anxiety of waiting for "the grim reaper" to call, and how some of the league's biggest stars (Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson, Todd Christensen, Fred Warner) turned early setbacks into Hall of Fame-caliber careers. He then breaks down what a healthy, more experienced Bear Bachmeier means for BYU's offense entering year two, how he'd scheme to defend him, and closes with his own ranking of BYU's five toughest games of the season — landing on Arizona, not Notre Dame, as the No. 1 measuring-stick game.The second hour brings the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week (soccer's Emma Hamberlin, who scored twice to beat USC), a big basketball headline as BYU beats out Kentucky for transfer big man Jaxon Kohler, and a full campus-notes sweep across women's basketball (Delaney Gibb and Canada's run to the 2028 Olympic qualifying final), soccer, volleyball, cross country and baseball. Two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris BYU Super Fans round out the show — Greg Schroeder of Twin Falls, Idaho and Provo-studio guest Dean Taylor — each sharing their Cougar histories and playing a round of "Where Were You?" through classic BYU moments, before the Redmond Roots Rollout and a look ahead to next Monday's Game Week Bonanza with Jaren Hall, Rod Zundel, Adam Edmunds and Michael Johanson.Timestamps (approximate):0:00 – Show Open: Live From Singapore to Cambodia, Cougar Nation Tunes In9:31 – BYU vs. Utah Tech Game Week Details + BYU Cracks ESPN's Top 611:04 – LJ Martin's Historic Preseason All-American Honors12:54 – BYU Named Most Underrated Preseason Team in the Country16:27 – Stewart Mandel Predicts BYU Wins the Big 12 and Reaches the CFP21:11 – Week Zero College Football Preview + Cougars in the NFL Before Cutdown Day28:11 – Harvey Langi Joins the Show30:10 – Inside NFL Cutdown Day: Harvey Langi on the "Grim Reaper"35:11 – Harvey Langi on Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson & the Biggest Cuts in NFL History43:00 – How Would You Defend Bear Bachmeier?

Allison Yazdian started in real estate, where she noticed the best agents were never the ones with the best listings. They were the ones who owned the direct relationship with their customers, so it didn't matter which brokerage they sat at. She went on to LTK and now runs Uscreen as CEO, building the infrastructure that lets creators sell to their audience without a platform standing in the middle.In this episode, Allison is direct about what fragile revenue actually looks like, and what happens when a creator effectively gets evicted from a platform they never owned. We cover the numbers she sees across thousands of channels (nearly 200 creators who have passed $1m, an average around $77k, and the maths on why 500 fans at $20 a month changes everything), why pricing too low is the mistake almost everyone makes, and why retention beats acquisition every time. She's also honest about the creator ick of asking people to pay, and how building in public gets you past it. Plus why audience size predicts far less than engagement, the Goldilocks problem of hiring too fast or too slow, and what she tells creators who launch, announce it once, and conclude memberships don't work for them.Topics covered: rented vs owned audience · memberships and recurring revenue · pricing strategy · retention and churn · getting past the transaction ick · super fans and community · scaling a creator team

Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler kick off the second week of BYU fall camp with a loaded show, opening with a full rundown of where the Cougars sit in every major preseason poll (No. 15 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, No. 11-15 across most national outlets) and celebrating first-team and preseason All-America nods for running back LJ Martin, offensive lineman Bruce Mitchell, and cornerback Evan Johnson.They also break down the week's slate of Cougars playing in NFL preseason action before welcoming recruiting insider Jeff Hansen, who previews true freshmen already making an impact in camp, breaks down BYU's rising recruiting pull in the state of Utah (including newly-committed edge rushers Uhila Wolfgramm and Jag Ioane), lays out his three keys to a championship-caliber season, and ranks BYU's five toughest games of 2026 — with Notre Dame landing at No. 1.The back half of the show features BYU soccer coach Jen Rockwood previewing her final season before retirement and a season-opening road trip to No. 9 UCLA, plus author Dr. Mark Ogletree on his new book "The Leadership Legacy of LaVell Edwards," sharing behind-the-scenes stories from interviews with Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Ron McBride, and Jim McMahon, and counting down LaVell's five greatest wins as head coach.The Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week spotlights Evan Johnson's remarkable back-to-back interceptions (one a pick-six) against East Carolina last season, and Cosmo's newly-announced induction into the Mascot Hall of Fame gets its due celebration.The show wraps with two Hotel Park City Ruth's Chris BYU Super Fans, Rulon McKay and Nelson Abbott, who share personal BYU history — from mowing a giant "Y" into his lawn every August to keeping tabs on the Cougars as a mission president in Guatemala — plus a round of "Where Were You?" revisiting iconic moments like Jimmer Fredette's win over No. 4 San Diego State and Tyler Allgeier's legendary strip-and-recover against Arizona State. Full campus notes across soccer, volleyball, cross country, baseball, and golf round out the episode, along with the weekly On This Day history segment and inspirational quote from President James E. Faust. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lia Haberman, writer of the ICYMI newsletter and one of the most trusted voices tracking the creator economy, joins The Upload to unpack where things are actually heading. We get into why follower count matters less than everyone thinks, the rise of superfans and smaller, more loyal communities, and why audiences are craving offline experiences (and how creators and brands can meet them there). Lia explains the shift from making videos to making shows, the micro-drama boom, and why brands like Crocs are building their own series instead of just running ads. She also shares a reality check on Instagram's "everything app" ambitions, why YouTube is becoming the new TV, and where creators should actually invest their time. Plus, practical advice on owning your audience, starting a newsletter that people open (hint: keep it short), and the one mindset shift every creator needs: stop taking platform changes personally and start looking at the whole ecosystem.If you're a creator or marketer trying to build something that lasts, this one's packed.Lia's links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liahabermanNewsletter: https://liahaberman.substack.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/liahaberman

Ignition for local soccer culture does not happen in a vacuum, but a major international tournament on home soil behaves exactly like a catalyst for massive regional growth. When regular sports fans transition away from being passive observers into dedicated supporters, the underlying community dynamic shifts completely. In this episode, host Wes Harris connects with Parker Dodson in the studio to analyze the direct cultural impact of the current tournament cycle on the Northwest Arkansas community and its grassroots soccer ecosystem.We sit down to unpack the exact elements that convert traditional American sports fans into dedicated club and national team followers. Our conversation details the logistical success of localized watch parties at spots like the Upper Ramble and Luther George Park, the deep structural identity of elite European academy systems like Spain's top down approach, and the tactical weight of historical international rivalries playing out in high-stakes environments. We also look at the specific reality of managing tournament momentum when star studded frontline talent faces rigid, disciplined defensive spacing.The underlying reality of sports development is that driving genuine engagement requires massive, often exhausting infrastructure work behind the curtain. Putting on large scale community events involves serious logistical execution, long hours, and the constant navigation of variable crowd dynamics. Viewers will walk away with an honest look at how local club momentum builds on international excitement, a clearer understanding of rigid team systems versus individual flair, and a realistic preview of the final matchups before the post tournament depression sets in.If you care about soccer culture growth, community event management, and tournament bracket analytics, you will get a lot from this discussion. Please remember to subscribe to the channel and share this episode with anyone looking to understand the growth of the game. Considering how deep into the knockout rounds we are, which tactical system do you think is actually sustainable enough to lift the trophy this week?

visit: https://www.ysguys.comDave McCann welcomed Jason Shepherd as his co-host for the night, with Blaine Fowler out of town, for a preseason-heavy edition of Y's Guys covering the Big 12 football meetings in Frisco, Texas. The two broke down BYU's new Entrata jersey patch and the Big 12's new neon-green Monster Energy branding, ran through a stack of preseason rankings (BYU landing at No. 2 in the Y's Guys' own Big 12 poll, No. 10 in Phil Steele's national top 40, and near the top of ESPN's FPI and CBS/Athletic "biggest brand" conversations), and debated where BYU should play its next international game. Deseret News beat writer Jay Drew joined for an extended interview on his Big 12 Media Days takeaways, the Big 12's biggest brand, BYU's most program-legitimizing win of the last two seasons, fall camp storylines at receiver and tight end, and his own preseason Big 12 top five.The show's Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week honored safety Faletau Satuala for his pick-six against Iowa State last October, followed by a wide-ranging interview with Bill Ekblad of Hotel Park City and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, the new presenting sponsor of the show's BYU Superfans segment. Three superfans debuted in that role this week: sisters Ashley and Lindsay Turner of Las Vegas, and longtime fan Scott Gambles of Soda Springs, Idaho, who once walked onto the BYU football team alongside Blaine Fowler in 1982 and has autographs from LaVell Edwards dating back to 1972.Rounding out the show were quick hits on BYU basketball (a commitment from Lithuanian wing Dovydas Buika, five-star 2027 target DeMarcus Henry, and NBA Summer League updates on AJ Dybantsa, Egor Demin and Keba Keita), baseball's MLB Draft class, and men's golf. Dave and Jason closed with the "On This Day" trivia segment and a farewell to longtime show producer DJ, who is moving on to a new job at Western Governors University.#YsGuys #BYU #BYUFootball #BYUCougars #CougarNation #GoCougs #Big12Football #Big12MediaDays #KalaniSitake #BearBachmeier #LJMartin #KeanuTanuvasa #FaletauSatuala #JayDrew #DeseretNews #BYUBasketball #AJDybantsa #EgorDemin #BYUSuperfans #CollegeFootball #LDS Hosted on Acast.

Brenda Donohue reports live from Limerick ahead of her concert in Thomond Park.

Hosts Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler kicked off the week of America's 250th birthday by diving into BYU basketball's historic NBA Draft: AJ Dybantsa became the first Cougar ever taken #1 overall, landing a $69 million rookie deal with the Washington Wizards, while Richie Saunders went 32nd overall to Memphis despite a torn ACL — the first time in 75 years BYU had two players drafted in the first two rounds. Former BYU linebacker and six-year NFL veteran Bryan Kehl joined to give his Big 12 preseason top five (BYU #1, Texas Tech #2, Houston #3, Arizona #4, TCU #5) and discussed four-star WR Blake Wong's commitment to BYU over Ohio State and Oregon.Steeplechase national champion Taylor Lovell joined in studio to recount her dramatic win at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene — a five-and-a-half-second victory run on a shift in mindset toward gratitude and joy in the process. Campus notes covered BYU's #25 Learfield Cup finish (tops in the Big 12), new NCAA five-in-five eligibility rules, Jen Rockwood's pending retirement as BYU's only-ever soccer coach, and BYU alum Brian Rolapp becoming the next PGA Tour commissioner. The show closed with entertaining BYU superfan segments featuring Margie Mettenet — including her story of giving Bear Bachmeier an airport ride — and David Holt via Zoom from Houston.#BYUCougars #BYUSports #YsGuys #WiseGuys #AJDybantsa #NBADraft2026 #BYUBasketball #RichieSaunders #BYUFootball #Big12Football #Big12Preview #TaylorLovell #Steeplechase #NCAATrackAndField #BlakeWong #BYURecruiting #CadeUluave #BryanKehl #CougarNation #StadiumOfFire #LDS Timestamps (approximate):0:03:40 – Show Intro & Stadium of Fire Preview0:07:47 – AJ Dybantsa Goes #1 Overall to Washington0:12:36 – Will Voigt Leaves BYU for Boise State0:14:50 – AJ's $69M Rookie Contract0:16:31 – Richie Saunders: 32nd Overall to Memphis Despite Torn ACL0:19:03 – Vegas Summer League Schedule: AJ & Keba Keita0:20:43 – Athlon Big 12 Preseason All-Team Picks0:21:40 – Blake Wong Commits to BYU Over Ohio State & Oregon0:24:06 – BYU's Incredible Winning Streaks0:28:00 – Bryan Kehl Interview0:43:29 – Bryan Kehl's Big 12 Top 5 Rankings0:50:40 – AJ Dybantsa: Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week0:52:18 – Taylor Lovell: NCAA Steeplechase National Champion1:12:44 – Campus Notes: NCAA Eligibility, Jen Rockwood & More1:17:56 – BYU Superfan Margie Mettenet & the Bear Bachmeier Airport Story1:34:50 – BYU Superfan David Holt from Houston Hosted on Acast.

#934 It's been eighteen years since I got fired from my architecture job and started my entrepreneurship journey. That one moment led to something completely unexpected! You see, when you put yourself out there and share your story, you never know who's listening on the other end. But where do you start? Listening in on today's episode to get a leg up would help! I'll first share the mindset shift I had when I turned 40. This is a big one because it freed me up to go all-in on my Pokémon content when people were making fun of me. Billions of views later, I never want to go back to trying to please everyone. I'll also discuss the importance of live-streaming and in-person events for building relatability, how I turn failures into wins, how I became a New York Times bestselling author, and why I study K-pop groups for next-level marketing ideas.

In this episode of RKD Group: Thinkers, we sit down with Brittany Hodak—author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker and creator of the “superfan” philosophy that has helped brands like Walmart, Disney, Amazon and countless artists build deeper customer loyalty and engagement. Brittany's journey began in the music industry during a moment of massive disruption. As record labels struggled to respond to file-sharing and digital downloads in the early 2000s, Brittany saw an opportunity others missed: Fans didn't just want music—they wanted connection, experiences and a sense of belonging. That insight led her to launch a company focused on creating premium fan experiences and collectible products for artists and brands, eventually earning her a spot on Shark Tank and partnerships with some of the biggest names in entertainment. Today, Brittany helps organizations understand what turns casual supporters into passionate advocates. Her core belief is simple but powerful: Superfans are created at the intersection of your story and theirs.

#928 Why are creators suddenly challenging massive corporations? There's a big shift happening, and none of the old-school gatekeepers can stop it. Here's the best part, though. It's all powered by superfans! Join me for today's episode because, as you'll learn, the sky's the limit on what you can build if you focus on serving your core following.

If you're not inspired yet, you will be once you learn that it was Markplier's superfans who made this huge success possible. They rallied together, contacted their local theaters, and pushed for Iron Lung to be shown.

Coach Tory and Coach Don record Everything Fast Pitch episode 417 via Zoom from Canada, previewing segments and thanking Patreon supporters. They note the NCAA's Division I softball transfer portal window will open the Monday after the Women's College World Series and last 15 days, aiming to tighten timing and discuss how the portal changes recruiting without eliminating opportunities, especially noting elite freshmen still impact top programs. City of the Week is Salt Lake City, and the equipment tip promotes Square Cuts training discs. Listener Alan asks whether the portal is “ruining recruiting,” prompting discussion of shifting opportunities and roster voids. The lead-off segment critiques negative fans and “super fans,” especially those who harass opponents.

What if the most valuable seats in your restaurant aren't in your dining room, but in your database?Samuel Bernstein has spent the last five years proving that loyalty isn't a punch card. It's a revenue model. As the founder of Table 22, Sam has helped more than 1,000 operators launch subscriptions, memberships, and bundled offers that routinely generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in high-margin revenue.In this conversation, we get into why most “clubs” fail, how to design offers rooted in what guests actually care about, and how to pressure-test whether your concept has a five-figure upside or a six-figure one. We also break down his systems, marketing playbooks, and AI-powered insights that turn creativity into consistency.If you're serious about building revenue you can forecast, and fund real growth with, this episode is your blueprint.To learn more about Table 22 and how they help restaurants build recurring revenue, visit table22.com._________________________________________________________Today's episode was brought to you by Square.

#914 Everything has changed. That's my answer to the question of how the world of online business is today versus how it was when I started. Of course, that was in 2008. But my answer is actually the same if I were to compare right now to this time last year. That's why we have a big change coming at SPI! Listen in on today's session because I need to address the "passive income" elephant in the room. Don't get me wrong, not trading your time for money is still a valid goal to shoot for in business. That said, certain terms associated with this concept have developed a scammy connotation. So tune in to hear how this is all contributing to my shift in a new direction! The big change is right around the corner, so join me to hear about my renewed focus on helping you build a business around your superfans!

#912 Perfection is out. Authenticity is in. As the world is flooded with polished content and AI noise, this is becoming increasingly true every day. That's why the more you edit yourself, the more you'll blend in. It's also why, if you show your real self, you'll stand out and attract a community of superfans! So how do you fight back against the slop and build a personal brand? In this episode, I look at the countermovement emerging in response to our artificial modern landscape. In fact, my inspiration for this episode comes from Medieval Mindset on YouTube labeling this as the Second Renaissance. I love that idea because it means that now is the best time to show up and lead the charge. You'd do exactly that by participating in something like my 30-day video challenge. So tune in because, when you don't overproduce, reality seeps in and you attract the right people!
