Are we over-doing the "gentle parenting" and we will end up with teenagers who want awards for just wiping their own butts? Or are we really engaging in age-appropriate expectations that will result in secure, happy, and of course, successful adult children who will want to hang out with us when we're old? Timeouts for your kid. Timeout for mommy. Timers. Countdowns. Tagging in/out with your partner. Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive. We talk about all the things related to discipline, trying to get the desired behavior from your child, how hard to push them and what else we're trying to balance at the same time.

The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V. Colmenero, Alexandra Nelson, Stefanie Blain-Moraes, George A. Mashour, and Richard E. Harris. “Neural Correlates of the Shamanic State of Consciousness.” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 15 (2021): 610466. Use for the strongest modern EEG anchor. This study used high-density EEG with shamanic practitioners and controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening. It assessed altered-state reports alongside brain measures such as power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality. Use carefully: the study does not prove spirits or show that drumming mechanically causes trance in everyone. It supports the more careful claim that trained practitioners entering shamanic states with drumming show measurable brain-state differences.Gordon, Yoel, Golan Karvat, Noa Dagan, and Ayelet N. Landau. “Neural Tracking at Theta Predicts Drumming-Induced Altered States of Consciousness.” Scientific Reports 16, no. 1 (2026): Article 10204. Use for the strongest updated drumming/theta/neural-tracking source. This study tested drumming at theta, delta, and alpha-rate rhythms while recording EEG, and found that stronger rhythmic neural tracking at theta was linked to stronger altered-experience reports. Use carefully: this does not mean theta equals the spirit world or that one frequency opens a portal. The serious point is that altered experience may depend partly on how strongly the nervous system tracks rhythmic stimulation.Aparicio-Terrés, R., et al. “The Neurobiology of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Drumming and Other Rhythmic Sound Patterns.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. Use for the newer review literature showing that rhythmic sound is now a serious altered-consciousness research topic. This supports the opening claim that modern academia is examining drumming, rhythmic sound, absorption, relaxation, cognition, and neural activity without reducing the subject to one simple “trance frequency.” The review is especially useful for framing the field as promising but still complex.Neher, Andrew. “Auditory Driving Observed with Scalp Electrodes in Normal Subjects.” Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 13 (1961): 449–451. Use for the historical bridge between repetitive sound, EEG, auditory driving, and early scientific interest in rhythmic stimulation.Neher, Andrew. “A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums.” Human Biology 34, no. 2 (1962): 151–160. Use carefully. This is useful as an early attempt to connect ceremonial drumming and physiology, but it should be balanced with Rouget because the “drum simply causes trance” argument is too mechanical.Maurer, R., V. K. Kumar, L. Woodside, and R. J. Pekala. “Phenomenological Experience in Response to Monotonous Drumming and Hypnotizability.” American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 40, no. 2 (1997): 130–145. Use for monotonous drumming, subjective altered experience, imagery, absorption, and hypnotizability.Maxfield, Melinda C. “Effects of Rhythmic Drumming on EEG and Subjective Experience.” PhD diss., Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1990. Use as older supporting context on drumming, EEG, imagery, body-image changes, and subjective altered experience. Do not make this the main scientific proof; use it as background.Nozaradan, Sylvie, Isabelle Peretz, and André Mouraux. “Tagging the Neuronal Entrainment to Beat and Meter.” The Journal of Neuroscience 31, no. 28 (2011): 10234–10240. Use for EEG evidence that the brain can track beat and meter. This supports the claim that the brain does not merely hear rhythm as background sound; it can represent rhythmic structure in measurable ways.Nozaradan, Sylvie. “Exploring How Musical Rhythm Entrains Brain Activity with Electroencephalogram Frequency-Tagging.” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 369, no. 1658 (2014). Use as broader rhythm/EEG entrainment support. This helps explain frequency-tagging, beat tracking, meter, neural entrainment, and the measurable relationship between rhythmic structure and brain activity.Thaut, Michael H., Gerald C. McIntosh, and Volker Hoemberg. “Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy: Rhythmic Entrainment and the Motor System.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2015). Use for rhythm as motor-system timing information. This supports the claim that a beat can become bodily instruction, not just sound for the ear. Especially useful when discussing rhythmic auditory stimulation, motor planning, gait, entrainment, and the auditory-motor bridge.Ross, Jessica M., John R. Iversen, and Ramesh Balasubramaniam. “Time Perception for Musical Rhythms: Sensorimotor Perspectives on Entrainment, Simulation, and Prediction.” 2022. Use for rhythm, timing, prediction, sensorimotor entrainment, and the way musical rhythm interacts with time perception.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960. Use for synchrony and social bonding. This helps support the group-body argument: moving or acting in time with others can increase affiliation.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5. Use for the claim that synchronized movement can increase cooperation and attachment among participants.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096. Use for music, synchrony, bonding, endorphin/social mechanisms, and why group rhythm can feel like more than private listening.Fancourt, Daisy, Rosie Perkins, Sara Ascenso, Louise Atkins, Fatima Kilfeather, and Aaron Williamon. “Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users.” PLOS ONE 11, no. 3 (2016): e0151136. Use for modern group-drumming research showing psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, depression, social resilience, wellbeing, and inflammatory immune response. Use carefully: this does not make group drumming a cure-all. It supports the more grounded claim that embodied rhythm and group participation can affect mood, social connection, and body chemistry.Bittman, Barry B., et al. “Composite Effects of Group Drumming Music Therapy on Modulation of Neuroendocrine-Immune Parameters in Normal Subjects.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 7, no. 1 (2001): 38–47. Use as older supporting material on group drumming and neuroendocrine-immune measures. Keep secondary. Fancourt is cleaner for the main script body.Archaeology and Deep History of DrumsLawergren, Bo. “Neolithic Drums in China.” In Music Archaeology in China. 2006. Use for clay drums in Neolithic China and the deep-history claim that drums are not just poetic symbols of antiquity. They appear in the archaeological record as instruments tied to early sound-making, ceremony, and social order.Both, Arnd Adje. “Music Archaeology: Some Methodological and Theoretical Considerations.” Use as general support for why ancient instruments should be treated as ritual and social evidence, not merely decorative objects.Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Ritual, and TranceRouget, Gilbert. Music and Trance: A Theory of the Relations Between Music and Possession. Translated by Brunhilde Biebuyck. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985. Essential source. Use for the caution that music does not mechanically or universally cause trance. Rouget helps keep the argument academically serious by emphasizing culture, ritual frame, meaning, and expectation.Becker, Judith.

Send Jackie A Message!You opened your studio with a vision, and somewhere along the way, you started throwing offer after offer at the wall out of pure desperation. New class pack. New workshop. New retreat. Sound familiar?In this episode, Jackie sits down with Grow Mastermind client Talia Blackburn, owner of Refuge Healing Studio in Greensboro, NC, who doubled her monthly recurring revenue from $3,500 to $7,500 in six months — a 108% increase. She didn't add ten new offers. She got clear on the one thing she was selling, restructured her pricing, and started using email like a real CEO. If you're a studio owner doing everything and still not seeing the numbers move, this one's for you.Timestamped Outline[00:00] Introduction[02:30] How Yoga with Adriene started everything[09:00] The music teacher backstory[15:30] The grandmother who pushed her to finally open[19:30] Funding Refuge without investors[26:30] Joining the Grow Mastermind & the first pricing changes[33:00] From monthly newsletter to strategic email[36:30] Tagging warm leads[39:00] The CEO mindset shift that ended panic-marketingKey Takeaways✓ Doubling MRR doesn't require ten new offers. One clear offer sold the right way does.✓ A $20 drop-in isn't a deal. It's an invitation to never become a member.✓ Pricing based on the studio across town isn't strategy. You don't have theirP&L.✓ Cold, warm, and hot leads need three different email conversations.✓ The CEO mindset is getting brutally clear on what matters most right now.✓ Your team can only sell what they understand. Share the numbers and watch them step up.Quotes"I was throwing out offer after offer out of desperation, out of panic." — Talia"If this is between my fear and the work, I can deal with the fear." — Talia"You don't want them to afford a drop-in. You want membership to make sense." — Jackie"You don't know their P&L. You could be copying a business in the red every month." — Jackie"My churn — I haven't seen churn at all." — TaliaFAQsIs $20 too low for a yoga drop-in? For most boutique studios in 2026, yes. A drop-in isn't supposed to be a deal — it's supposed to make membership the obvious move.Should I price based on competitor studios? No. You don't have their P&L. They could be operating in the red. Price based on your own expenses and revenue goals.How do I double my studio's monthly recurring revenue? Restructure your pricing so membership is the obvious choice, then nurture your existing leads through segmented email. New offers are rarely the answer.How often should I email my studio list? A monthly newsletter is not a strategy. Segment by lead temperature and email weekly at minimum.How do I stop members from canceling? Stay in consistent communication. Nurture members through email and create an experience worth staying for.Should I add multiple offers to my studio? Eventually, yes — but not all at once. Get one offer (usually membership) humming first, then layer.What's the biggest mindset shift for studio owners? Stopping the panic-marketing cycle. Focused execution beats scattered effort every single time.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial3 Marketing Mistakes Yoga & Pilates Business Owners Make: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/evergreen-3mm-organicJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo

Running Oracle Database@AWS is most effective when you have full visibility and control over your environment.   In this episode, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Rashmi Panda, who explains how to monitor performance, track key metrics, and catch issues before they become problems. Later, Samvit Mishra shares key best practices for securing, optimizing, and maintaining a resilient Oracle Database@AWS deployment.   Oracle Database@AWS Architect Professional: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-databaseaws-architect-professional/155574 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. ------------------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services  Lois: Hello again! Last week's discussion was all about how Oracle Database@AWS stays secure and available. Today, we're joined by two experts from Oracle University. First, we'll hear from Rashmi Panda, Senior Principal Database Instructor, who will tell you how to monitor and log Oracle Database@AWS so your environment stays healthy and reliable. Nikita: And then we're bringing in Samvit Mishra, Senior Manager, CSS OU Cloud Delivery, who will break down the best practices that help you secure and strengthen your Oracle Database@AWS deployment. Let's start with you, Rashmi. Is there a service that allows you to monitor the different AWS resources in real time? Rashmi: Amazon CloudWatch is the cloud-native AWS monitoring service that can monitor the different AWS resources in real time. It allows you to collect the resource metrics and create customized dashboards, and even take action when certain criteria is met. Integration of Oracle Database@AWS with Amazon CloudWatch enables monitoring the metrics of the different database resources that are provisioned in Oracle Database@AWS. Amazon CloudWatch collects raw data and processes it to produce near real-time metrics data. Metrics collected for the resources are retained for 15 months. This facilitates analyzing the historical data to understand and compare the performance, trends, and utilization of the database service resources at different time intervals. You can set up alarms that continuously monitor the resource metrics for breach of user-defined thresholds and configure alert notification or take automated action in response to that metric threshold being reached. 02:19 Lois: What monitoring features stand out the most in Amazon CloudWatch? Rashmi: With Amazon CloudWatch, you can monitor Exadata VM Cluster, container database, and Autonomous database resources in Oracle Database@AWS. Oracle Database@AWS reports metrics data specific to the resource in AWS/ODB namespace of Amazon CloudWatch. Metrics can be collected only when the database resource is an available state in Oracle Database@AWS. Each of the resource types have their own metrics defined in AWS/ODB namespace, for which the metrics data get collected.  02:54 Nikita: Rashmi, can you take us through a few metrics? Rashmi: At Exadata database VM Cluster, there is CPU utilization, memory utilization, swap space storage file system utilization metric. Then there is load average on the server, what is the node status, and the number of allocated CPUs, et cetera. Then for container database, there is CPU utilization, storage utilization, block changes, parse count, execute count, user calls, which are important elements that can provide metrics data on database load. And for Autonomous Database metrics data include DB time, CPU utilization, logins, IOPS and IO throughput, RedoSize, parse, execute, transaction count, and few others. 03:32 Nikita: Once you've collected these metrics and analyzed database performance, what tools or services can you use to automate responses or handle specific events in your Oracle Database@AWS environment? Rashmi: Then there is Amazon EventBridge, which can monitor events from AWS services and respond automatically with certain actions that may be defined. You can monitor events from Oracle Database@AWS in EventBridge, which sends events data continuously to EventBridge at real time. Eventbridge forwards these events data to target AWS Lambda and Amazon Simple Notification Service to perform any actions on occurrence of certain events. Oracle Database@AWS events are structured messages that indicate changes in the life cycle of the database service resource. Eventbridge can filter events based on your defined rules, process them, and deliver to one or more targets. Event Bus is the router that receives the events, optionally transform them, and then delivers the events to the targets. Events from Oracle Database@AWS can be generated by two means: they can be generated from Oracle Database@AWS in AWS, and they can also be generated directly from OCI and received by EventBridge in AWS. You can monitor Exadata Database and Autonomous Database resource events. Ensure that the Exadata infrastructure status is an available state. You can configure how the events are handled for these resources. You can define rules in EventBridge to filter the events of interest and the target, who is going to receive and process those events. You can filter events based on a pattern depending on the event type, and apply this pattern using Amazon EventBridge put-rule API, with the default event bus to route only those matching events to targets. 05:13 Lois: And what about events that AWS itself generates? Rashmi: Events that are generated in AWS for the Oracle Database@AWS resources are delivered to the default event bus of your AWS account. These events that are generated in AWS for Oracle Database@AWS resources include lifecycle changes of the ODB network. The different network events are successful creation or failure of the creation of the ODB network, and successful deletion or failure in deletion of the ODB network. When you subscribe to Oracle Database@AWS, then an event bus with prefix aws.partner/odb is created in your AWS account. All events generated in OCI for the Oracle Database@AWS resources are then received in this event bus. When you are creating filter pattern using Amazon EventBridge put-rule API, you must set the event bus name to this event bus. Make sure you do not delete this event bus. Events generated in OCI and received into event bus are extensive. They include events of Oracle Exadata infrastructure, VM Cluster, container, and pluggable databases. 06:14 Lois: If you want to look back at what's happened in your environment, like who made the changes or accessed resources, what's the best AWS service for logging and auditing all that activity? Rashmi: Amazon CloudTrail is a logging service in AWS that records the different actions taken by a user or roles, or an AWS service. Oracle Database@AWS is integrated with Amazon Cloud Trail. This enables logging of all the different events on Oracle Database@AWS resources.  Amazon Cloud Trail captures all the API calls to Oracle Database@AWS as events. These API calls include calls from the Oracle Database@AWS console, and code calls to Oracle Database@AWS API operations. These log files are delivered to Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. These logs determine the identity of the caller who made the call request to Oracle Database@AWS, their IP from which the call originated, the time of the call, and some additional details.  CloudTrail event history stores immutable record of the past 90 days of management events in an AWS region. You can view, search, and download these records from CloudTrail Event History. You can access CloudTrail when you create an AWS account that automatically gives you the access to CloudTrail. Event history. If you would like to retain the logs for a longer period of time beyond 90 days, you can create CloudTrail trails or CloudTrail Lake event data store.  Management events in AWS provide information about management operations that are performed on the resources in your AWS account. Management operations are also called control plane operations. Thus, the control plane operations in Oracle Database@AWS are logged as management events in CloudTrail logs.  07:59 Are you a MyLearn subscriber?

Samvit, let's talk best practices. What should teams keep in mind when they're setting up and securing their Oracle Database@AWS environment?  Samvit: Use IAM roles and policies with least privilege to manage Oracle Database@AWS resources. This ensures only authorized users can provision or modify DB resources, reducing the risk of accidental or malicious changes.  Oracle Data Safe monitors database activity, user risk, and sensitive data, while AWS CloudTrail records all AWS API calls. Together, they give full visibility across the database and cloud layers. Autonomous Database supports Oracle Database Vault for enforcing separation of duties. Exadata Database Service can integrate with Audit Vault and Database Firewall to prevent privileged users from bypassing security controls. Enable multifactor authentication for AWS IAM users managing Oracle Database@AWS. This adds a strong second layer of protection against stolen credentials.  Always deploy your Oracle Database@AWS in private subnets without public IPs. Use AWS security groups and NACLs to strictly limit inbound and outbound traffic, allowing access only from trusted applications. Exadata Database Service supports integration with Oracle Vault for key lifecycle management. And in case of Autonomous Database, the transparent data encryption keys are automatically managed. But you can bring your own keys with OCI Vault. Key rotation ensures compliance and reduces risk of key compromise. Oracle Database@AWS enforces encrypted connections by default. Ensure clients connect with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to protect data in transit from interception or tampering.  Use Oracle Data Safe's user assessment features to detect dormant users or excessive privileges. Disable unused accounts and rightsize permissions to reduce insider threats and security gap. Export database audit logs to Oracle Data Safe Audit Vault or AWS S3 with object lock for immutability. This prevents lock tampering and ensures audit evidence is preserved for compliance.  11:25 Lois: OK, that covers security. Do you have any tips for making sure your Oracle Database@AWS setup is reliable and resilient? Samvit: Start with clear recovery objectives. Define how much downtime and data loss each workload can tolerate. These targets drive your HADR architecture and backup strategy.  Implement business continuity measures to deliver maximum uptime for your databases. As a best practice, you must configure disaster recovery environment for your critical databases so that, in the event of any disaster affecting the primary database, applications can be immediately failed over to the DR environment, ensuring least application downtime and zero or minimal data loss. With Oracle Database@AWS, you can automate the creation and management of DR environment for your database services using different deployment capabilities. You can opt to configure either cross-availability zone DR in the same region or configure cross-region DR. Since cross-availability zone can only provide site failure protection, you must also configure a cross-region DR to protect against regional failure. A DR plan is only effective if tested. Regular failover and switchover drills validate that people, processes, and systems can recover as designed.  For Exadata Database, Autonomous Recovery Service provides automated backup validation, recovery guarantees, and protection against accidental data loss or corruption.  Oracle-managed backups are fully managed by OCI. When you create your Oracle Exadata Database, you can enable automatic backups by choosing Enable Automatic Backups in the OCI Console. When you do that, you can select Amazon S3 or OCI Object Storage or Autonomous Recovery Service as the backup destination. Don't just take backups. You also need to test them. Regularly restore backups into non-production environment to validate integrity and recovery time.  Plan beyond just the database. Map application and middleware dependencies to ensure end-to-end business resilience. A database failover is useless if dependent apps can't reconnect. 14:09 Nikita: Another area of interest is performance and cost. What practices help teams balance the two? Samvit: Autonomous Database automatically scales CPU and storage as workloads grow. This ensures performance during peaks while avoiding overprovisioning. So you should enable ADB auto-scaling.  Monitor CPU, memory, and IO metrics with AWS CloudWatch to rightsize your compute. Scale up or down based on actual utilization instead of static provisioning. Autonomous databases continuously evaluate and creates indexes automatically. This improves query performance without requiring manual tuning.  Use connection pooling in your applications to optimize database connections. Minimizing round-trip reduces latency and improves throughput. Apply AWS tags to database and related resources for cost allocation and chargeback. Tagging also helps with governance and cost visibility.  Choose between bring your own license and license-included models for Oracle Database@AWS. The right model depends on your existing license portfolio and cost strategy. Not all workloads need long backup retention. Adjust retention policies based on business needs to balance compliance with storage costs.  Exadata Database supports Oracle multitenant with pluggable databases. Consolidating databases reduces infrastructure footprint and licensing costs. Performance tuning isn't just technical. Align metrics with business KPIs. correlating DB performance to user experience and revenue impact helps prioritize optimizations.  16:20 Lois: Before we wrap up, Samvit, let's look at operational efficiency. What advice do you have for making day-to-day operations more efficient? Samvit: Use infrastructure as code tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation to automate provisioning. This ensures consistent, repeatable deployments with minimal manual errors.  For Autonomous Database, enable auto-start/stop to optimize costs by running databases only when needed. This is ideal for dev test or seasonal workloads. Exadata Database Service provides fleet maintenance to patch multiple systems consistently. This reduces downtime and simplifies lifecycle management.  Integrate AWS CloudWatch for performance monitoring and EventBridge for event-driven automation. This helps detect issues early and trigger automated workflows. Oracle Data Safe provides ready-to-use audit and compliance reports. Use these to streamline governance and reduce the effort of manual compliance tracking.  For Autonomous databases, Performance Hub simplifies monitoring while Exadata users benefit from AWR and ASH reports. Together, they give deep insights into performance trends. Automated tagging policies and change management workflows help maintain governance. They ensure resources are tracked properly and changes are auditable.  Monitor storage consumption and growth patterns using AWS CloudWatch and the ADB Console. Proactive tracking helps avoid capacity issues and unexpected costs. Send CloudTrail logs into EventBridge to trigger automated incident responses. This shortens response time and builds operational resilience.  18:36 Nikita: Samvit and Rashmi, thanks for spending time with us today. Your insights always help bring the bigger picture into focus. Lois: They definitely do. And if you'd like to go deeper into everything we covered, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and look up the Oracle Database@AWS Architect Professional course.

In this episode, step inside Deir el-Medina, the remarkably well-preserved village of the artisans who built the royal tombs of ancient Egypt. Known in antiquity as Pa Demi or “the village”, this desert settlement near Thebes (modern Luxor) was home to the skilled workers of the Set Maat, the “Place of Truth,” where pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, Nefertari, and Hatshepsut were laid to rest. Through tomb art, legal documents, and everyday texts, Deir el-Medina offers one of the most intimate portraits of non-elite life in ancient Egypt. Explore the lives of three individuals whose stories survive in astonishing detail. Meet Ramose, the wealthiest man in the village, whose decorated tombs and appeals to fertility goddesses reveal private hopes for an heir. Follow his adopted successor, Qenherkhepeshef, a prolific scribe whose tomb preserved the famous “Book of Dreams,” a guide to omens written in red and black ink. Finally, Naunakhte, whose surviving will shows that women in the New Kingdom owned property and controlled how it was inherited. Offline Sources Cited: Blerk, Nicolaas J. 2021.

Tag In Jesus: Let God Fight Your Battles You've been in the ring long enough — late nights, clenched jaws, the weight of arguments and outcomes you were never meant to carry alone. This episode opens on that quiet, heavy moment when you finally ask: what if I don't have to win every fight? Then someone whispers Exodus 14:14: "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still." It's not surrender as failure, but a bold strategy. Tagging in Jesus doesn't mean giving up; it means turning the page and trusting that the cross has already faced what you're afraid of. Listen as burdened resolve turns into calm faith, and fear loosens its grip. Peace walks in, strength follows, and victory is no longer a struggle but a promise. Turn the page. Tag him in. Have faith — let it begin.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Slappin' Glass sits down with Youngstown State Associate Head Coach Dwaine Osborne, one of the most consistently efficient offensive coaches in college basketball. Osborne — an eight-time Coach of the Year with a track record of leading the nation in effective field-goal percentage and offensive efficiency — opens the doors to his philosophy on building highly disciplined, analytically driven teams.Across a wide-ranging conversation, Coach Osborne unpacks how he teaches elite shot selection, builds paint efficiency, and uses clarity-based concepts to help players make decisive first-touch decisions. He details why “life is math,” how he leverages PPP values to communicate shot quality, and why playing off two feet may be the most under-taught skill in modern offense.The episode digs deeply into layup packages, Villanova footwork, decision-making progressions, and the balance between analytics and empowering confident, aggressive scorers. Coach Osborne also breaks down how he thinks about ATOs, why fewer plays lead to better execution, and how his program blends tagging-up rules, offensive rebounding, and transition defense into one integrated system.Throughout, he brings humility, candor, and clear teaching language — making this an episode loaded with transferable concepts for coaches at every level.What You'll LearnHow to Teach and Enforce Shot Selection Practical ways Osborne uses analytics (PPP numbers, film pauses, peer accountability) to build a team-wide understanding of shot value.Why Efficient Offense Starts With Player Strengths How defining each player's “best value actions” leads to higher-percentage possessions and clearer roles.Developing First-Touch Decisions (FTDs) Methods to help players make decisive reads on the catch — not predetermined, but anticipated through clarity and structure.Building Paint Efficiency Why all layups are not created equal, how Osborne categorizes finishing packages, and how playing off two feet mirrors traditional post play.Using Concepts, Not Just Plays How his teams layer the same concepts (Denver, Flash, Laker, Wyoming, etc.) out of multiple alignments to stay unpredictable and comfortable in late-game moments.ATO Construction and Why Less Is More The philosophy behind keeping the ATO menu small, emphasizing execution, and choosing between attacking defensive tendencies or preventing them.The Tagging-Up System: Four Simple Rules A clear explanation of the “touch, top, no reckless crash, no advance” framework — and how it improves both offensive rebounding and transition defense.How to Balance Analytics With Player Confidence His approach to ensuring players feel empowered, not restricted, while still understanding efficiency and role clarity.Culture, Trust, and Prioritizing People Why recruiting for character and building meaningful relationships is foundational to executing an analytical system.This episode is a masterclass in clarity-driven coaching, teaching with precision, and building efficient offense without sacrificing player confidence or freedom.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 60 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

Wipe that shit-eating grin off your face and heed all of the content warnings (seriously), because we're discussing Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious anti-fascist 1975 film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Tagging in for the conversation is Zoë Rose Smith, the co-host of the Tainted Love podcast!Join us as we do a very deep dive into this controversial film, beginning with a Pasolini primer before parsing through the film's graphic depictions of sexual assault, torture, sadomasochism and coprophilia.
