On a pioneering task force, Bob Delaney went from New Jersey State Trooper to undercover in some of the biggest east coast Mob families. In this episode, Delaney spoke to Giovanni and Dutch about how he was recruited to work undercover, the innerworkings of how he infiltrated the Genovese and Bruno Crime Families and his transition to high-profile NBA referee.

In 1981 Delaney testified before the United States Senate on Organized Crime, detailing his perilous 3-year undercover operation infiltrating the Genovese and Bruno Crime Families. His NBA referee career began in 1987 (more than 1,700 regular season games, 200 playoff contests and nine Finals). Delaney worked the ‘98 and ‘11 All-Star Games, the ‘94 Opening NBA Games in Yokohama, Japan and the ‘10 NBA China games.

When Bianca Rech shares a decision with FC Bayern's players, she knows instantly how it has landed.“You feel it,” says the Director of Bayern's women's programme. “You already know when you look at their faces. You're like ‘I think she doesn't like it', ‘yeah, she likes it' and ‘she needs a bit of proof'. It's like sometimes I see myself sitting on the other side.”The ‘other side', as Bianca tells Teamworks' Andrew Trimble and Leaders' John Portch, refers to her transition from a Germany international and Frauen-Bundesliga regular to a senior leader of the German champions, whom she represented on the pitch for four years.“It's so much harder now when you sit on that side now,” she adds, reflecting on how she used to feel as a player. “I see myself sitting on the other side, like, ‘oh, maybe I have to talk to them again'.”In this third and final episode of our special series with Teamworks, Bianca touched upon several of the major themes that emerged from our recent Special Report High Performance Unpacked: interconnected performance teams.She spoke of her role in helping to transform the Bayern culture on and off the pitch [37:00]; keeping the athlete at the centre of the performance jigsaw [14:30]; the importance of sports psychology [31:00]; and the thoughtful integration of technology [21:00].Listen and subscribe today on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast, or your chosen podcast platform.Episode One: Simon Rice, the Philadelphia 76ersEpisode Two: Miranda Menaspà, the Australian Institute of Sport

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Braving the Arctic: A Tale of Courage and Teamwork Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-06-25-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A jégmezők végtelen fehérségében, ahol a horizont és az ég szinte összeolvad, három eltökélt kutató kezd neki izgalmas kalandjának.En: In the endless whiteness of the ice fields, where the horizon and sky almost merge, three determined researchers embark on their exciting adventure.Hu: Bálint, a csendes ökológus, szakadt bakancsával lépett a hóra.En: Bálint, the quiet ecologist, stepped onto the snow with his worn-out boots.Hu: Bár szívét különös izgalom fűtötte, félelmek lengték körül, ahogy a többiekkel kellett dolgoznia.En: Although his heart was fueled by peculiar excitement, fears surrounded him as he had to work with others.Hu: Anikó, a kamerájával felszerelkezve, már a jéghegyek árnyékában próbálta elkapni a sarki rókák ritka pillanatait.En: Anikó, equipped with her camera, was already in the shadows of the icebergs trying to capture the rare moments of arctic foxes.Hu: Nevetése olykor megtörte a tundra csendjét, ahogy próbálta átadni a pillanat szépségét.En: Her laughter occasionally broke the silence of the tundra as she tried to convey the beauty of the moment.Hu: Mellette Gábor, az expedíció tapasztalt vezetője, zord arccal mérlegelte a helyzetet.En: Beside her, Gábor, the experienced leader of the expedition, assessed the situation with a stern face.Hu: Az időjárás egyre kiszámíthatatlanabb, és a hóviharok veszélyesen közeledtek, ezt csak ő látta igazán.En: The weather was becoming increasingly unpredictable, and snowstorms were dangerously approaching, which only he truly understood.Hu: Ahogy a nappalok végtelenné nyúltak az állandó napfényben, a csapat előtt álló feladatok hatalmasnak tűntek.En: As the days stretched endlessly in the constant daylight, the tasks ahead of the team seemed immense.Hu: Bálintnak viszont csak egy célja volt: adatokat szerezni a klímaváltozás jeleiről.En: Bálint, however, had only one goal: to gather data on the signs of climate change.Hu: Az ismeretlen veszélyek és saját belső küzdelmei ellenére lépésről lépésre haladt.En: Despite the unknown dangers and his own internal struggles, he proceeded step by step.Hu: Beszélni próbált Anikóval és Gáborral, de a szavak elfogytak a hideg levegőben.En: He tried to talk to Anikó and Gábor, but words ran out in the cold air.Hu: Talán csak a munkája adta neki a pillanatnyi bátorságot.En: Perhaps only his work gave him momentary courage.Hu: Egyik éjszaka, mikor a sátor vászna ellen dühöngött a szél, egy rettegett hír érkezett a műholdas rádión: egy hatalmas vihar közeledik.En: One night, while the wind raged against the tent's canvas, a dreaded message arrived via satellite radio: a massive storm was approaching.Hu: Egy pillanat, egy újabb döntés ideje.En: A moment, another decision's time.Hu: Nyári világosságban is érezni lehetett a viharfelhők árnyékának közeledtét.En: Even in the summer brightness, the approach of the storm clouds' shadow could be felt.Hu: Bálint tekintett Anikóra és Gáborra.En: Bálint looked at Anikó and Gábor.Hu: Egy tervet alkotott meg fejében, amely kockázatos volt, de szükségszerűnek tűnt.En: He devised a plan in his mind that seemed risky but deemed necessary.Hu: "Nincs sok időnk," mondta Bálint halkan, de határozottan.En: "We don't have much time," Bálint said quietly but firmly.Hu: "Gyorsan összegyűjtjük a hiányzó adatokat és indulnunk kell.En: "Let's quickly gather the missing data and we must set off."Hu: "Az ötletük már-már vakmerőségnek tűnt, de más választásuk nem volt.En: Their idea seemed almost reckless, but they had no other choice.Hu: Anikó és Gábor bízott Bálintban, és együtt indultak útnak a jeges pusztában.En: Anikó and Gábor trusted Bálint, and together they set out into the icy wilderness.Hu: Az idő rohamosan telt, de a közös munka meglepte őket.En: Time flew by rapidly, but the teamwork surprised them.Hu: Hídat képeztek egymás között, amely erősebb volt, mint képzelték.En: They formed a bond between each other that was stronger than they had imagined.Hu: A legutolsó adatot is begyűjtötték, mielőtt a vihartól menekülve, biztonságosabb helyet találtak maguknak.En: They collected the last piece of data before, fleeing the storm, they found a safer place for themselves.Hu: A veszély elvonultával, néma csend borult a tájra.En: With the danger passed, silence descended on the landscape.Hu: A csapat tagjai egymásra néztek.En: The team members looked at each other.Hu: A nehézségek ellenére a feladatot teljesítették.En: Despite the difficulties, they completed the task.Hu: Bálint szívében most már nem csak a tudományért, de a közös munka diadaláért is élt a láng.En: In Bálint's heart, now burned a flame not only for science but also for the triumph of teamwork.Hu: Az út során megtanulta, hogy a bátorság és az együttműködés többet érhet, mint bármelyik félelem.En: Throughout the journey, he learned that courage and cooperation can be worth more than any fear.Hu: Ahogy e tapasztalatokkal gazdagodva visszatértek a civilizációba, tudták, hogy nemcsak mint kutatók, hanem mint egy csapat, sikeresen szembenéztek a tundra kihívásaival.En: As they returned to civilization enriched by these experiences, they knew that not only as researchers but as a team, they successfully faced the challenges of the tundra.

The Power of Teamwork in Achieving a Vision: "Both roles are as important as the other, because if the visionary has to do everything herself or himself, they're probably not going to make it happen." - Betty CollinsI'm so excited to bring you part one of our special Visionary Awards series, where we honor incredible women who have scaled their businesses and brought their visions to life. Today, I'm joined by two outstanding guests—Jill Frey, president and CEO of Cummins Facility Services, and Purba Majumder, an inspiring immigrant founder and CEO of Cybervation Inc., both of whom were finalists alongside me for the NAWBO Columbus Visionary Award.In this episode, we share our personal stories about what it really takes to scale a company, the winding journey of becoming a visionary, and why the people who support us along the way are just as important as the vision itself. We open up about our challenges, our proudest moments, and the vital roles of those who stand beside us—whether they're cheering us on, pouring into our growth, or simply helping us keep going.If you're a woman in business—whether you see yourself as a visionary or you're the one making things happen behind the scenes—there's something here for you. Join us for honest conversations, practical wisdom, and a big dose of inspiration from women who understand what it takes. Let's keep lifting each other up and helping one another rise.Inspiring Moments00:00 Scaling Visionary Women04:59 Grateful for NAWBO Visionary Award06:31 Trailblazer Staffing & Bistro ux Ventures10:25 Nabo's Impact on My Journey13:27 "Guiding Through Support and Wisdom"19:09 Supporting Fellow Entrepreneurs22:23 Founding Cool Tech Girls24:43 Collective Support Fuels Cool Tech Girls28:43 Women Supporting Visionary WomenHere are my top 3 takeaways for anyone passionate about leadership, growth, and supporting women in business:Scaling is a journey, not a sprint: We emphasize that true success doesn't happen overnight. Steady, thoughtful scaling, supported by a strong team, is the sustainable path forward.Visionaries aren't alone: Whether you are the one with the big dream, or the one who supports that dream, both roles are vital. Community, mentors, and even those who “put up with” your quirks help turn vision into reality.Celebrating and elevating others multiplies impact: The stories from the NAWBO Visionary Awards remind me how group celebrations, meaningful connections, and championing others' successes fuel long-term growth for all.Forward our podcast along to other Inspiring Women in your life.This is THE podcast that advances women toward economic, social, and political achievement.

Welcome back to Let's Try This Again—I'm your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because I'm sitting down with my longtime friend and behind-the-scenes powerhouse, Jazmin. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build a brand, keep a business afloat, and find the right team, this conversation is for you. We get real about our journey together—from building websites before B Simone Beauty was even a thing, to weathering the storm of losing team members and starting over from scratch. I share how, after resigning from our previous venture, we went from a team of eight or ten down to just the two of us, and how that season of transition tested our resilience and commitment to our vision.We talk about the importance of trusting the process, even when it feels like you're losing everything. I remember calling Jaz from the Virgin Islands, feeling anxious and unsure about starting the podcast, but her belief in me gave me the courage to try again. We also get honest about setting boundaries in business, especially when working with friends, and how crucial it is to have people around you who not only have the skills but truly believe in your vision. Jazmin keeps me grounded—when I'm dreaming big about arena tours and conferences, she's the one who helps me build the solid foundation to make those dreams a reality.I open up about learning to delegate, to release control, and to trust my team—like this morning, when I was exhausted and realized it was okay to let the team handle things while I took care of myself. We talk about how building a business is never a straight line—it's full of pivots, tough decisions, and moments of gratitude for the people who stick with you through it all.

Today we move into the second episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today we cover two quotes that we commonly use in coaching and in life, but we should really think twice about doing so. As I say in the episode, if you have any quotes or concepts that YOU think we should not be using as coaches, please email me with them at scott@slamdunksuccess.com. The more we can get out there for coaches to be aware of, the better off we will all be.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

In this post-event follow-up, Marco Ciappelli reconnects from Florence with Rob Black and brings in Anthony D'Alton for a deep-dive into something we all talk about but rarely define clearly: so-called soft skills — or, as we prefer to call them… human skills.From storytelling to structured exercises, team communication to burnout prevention, this episode explores how communication, collaboration, and trust aren't just “nice to have” in cybersecurity — they're critical, measurable capabilities. Rob and Anthony share their experience designing real-world training environments where people — not just tools — are the difference-makers in effective incident response and security leadership.Whether you're a CISO, a SOC leader, or just tired of seeing tech get all the credit while humans carry the weight, this is a practical, honest conversation about building better teams — and redefining what really matters in cybersecurity today.If you still think “soft skills” are soft… you haven't been paying attention.⸻Keywords: Cybersecurity, Infosecurity Europe 2025, Soft Skills, Human Skills, Cyber Resilience, Cyber Training, Security Leadership, Incident Response, Teamwork, Storytelling in Cyber, Marco Ciappelli, Rob Black, Anthony Dalton, On Location, ITSPmagazine, Communication Skills, Cyber Crisis Simulation, RangeForce, Trust in Teams, Post Event Podcast, Security Culture___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Infosecurity Europe 2025 London coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosec25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
