The 2026 Know Your Rival series closes out with the team everyone else in the NFL seems to be convinced is the best in football - the Los Angeles Rams. The offseason narrative around these two teams has centered more on the two-point conversion that Zach Charbonnet picked up and not the field goal miss by Jason Myers that could have made the 2025 series a 3-0 clean sweep in favor of the Seahawks. What does the Myles Garrett trade actually add after trading away a young talent in Jared Verse trade? Does Aaron Donald coming out of retirement actually matter? Puka Nacua and Alaric Jackson both carry real question marks into the season with their off-field issues that could lead to suspensions. Matt Stafford has a well-documented boom-or-bust pattern, and Vegas has the Rams as NFC West favorites despite them losing the division last year. In the second half of the show we've got 49ers training camp fallout, a full Madden 26 defensive rankings reaction, and a Sam Darnold contract question.

Live from Sunday night, we're wrapping up Week 1 of Seahawks training camp before tomorrow's Rams Know Your Rival episode drops. Tory Horton played six games on a broken tibia last year, got a rod put in his leg in February, and is already back making plays. The defense picked up a new nickname (or slogan?) and rocking new 'Manager of Violence' apparel. Word of Byron Murphy's camp performance has us thinking he's about to become an even bigger problem for the league, and we're not letting Madden's 26th ranking of our Super Bowl champion defense go unchallenged. Plus: the Devon Witherspoon contract watch continues, Elijah Arroyo is flashing in the passing game, and we've got thoughts on why analysts don't really understand the floor when it comes to the performance of the Seahawks new offensive coordinator.

One profitable location proves the concept. A repeatable system builds the empire. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how to scale a successful local business beyond one territory without sacrificing quality, customer experience, or operational control. If the business only works when you are physically present, expansion will always be limited. The goal is to build systems, train leaders, and create a customer experience that stays consistent no matter which location someone walks into. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why founder dependence creates a ceiling on local business growth• How to build leadership before expanding into a second location• Why standardized systems protect quality across multiple territories• How decentralized management creates faster and more sustainable expansion The truth is simple: You cannot be everywhere at once. Your systems can. Train the leaders. Document the playbook. Standardize the customer experience. Expand only when the operation can perform without your constant involvement. When you systemize the magic, you create a business that can dominate the map. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Mark Moore, New Testament scholar and teaching pastor at Christ Church of the Valley, joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast to discuss his new book The Missing Messiah (co-authored with Kyle Idleman). He unpacks how modern culture has softened Jesus into a comfortable figure and why recovering biblical masculinity—rooted in responsibility, brotherhood, and Jesus as both Savior and Warrior-King—is essential for men, families, and society.

Brian Gibson joins us on the podcast today and he elaborates on the concept of sending missionaries and the ecclesiastical responsibility to support them. Gibson articulates that effective sending entails a triad of resources—meals, medicines, and munitions—drawing an analogy from military logistics to emphasize the importance of consistent support for missionaries on the front lines. He delineates the role of churches and organizations in this process, advocating for a proactive approach to stewardship of the Great Commission. Gibson's experiences in foreign missions enrich the dialogue, as he reflects on the complexities of cultural reintegration for returning missionaries. His insights illuminate the challenges faced by missionaries transitioning back to familiar yet altered environments, and he advocates for intentional debriefing processes that enable them to unpack their experiences and reintegrate holistically into their communities. This segment serves as a vital reminder of the ongoing journey of faith and the essential support structures needed for those who are sent into the world.Lastly, the episode culminates with a reflective discussion on the importance of debriefing, positing it as a necessary practice for spiritual leaders and missionaries alike. The speakers emphasize that debriefing is not merely a procedural formality but a profound opportunity for individuals to process their experiences, both positive and negative. They articulate that without the intentional act of debriefing, individuals risk missing the richness of their journey and the lessons learned therein. The conversation highlights various indicators that prompt the need for debriefing, including heightened emotional responses and significant life transitions. Furthermore, they discuss the theological underpinnings of debriefing, tracing it back to biblical precedents where God engages with His people through questions that invite reflection and understanding. This thematic exploration reinforces the notion that debriefing is an integral part of spiritual growth and community support, urging listeners to embrace this practice as a means of fostering resilience and gratitude in their faith journeys. The episode concludes with a prayer, encapsulating the themes of encouragement, reflection, and divine support that permeate the discussion.Takeaways: Biblical encouragement and admonishment are essential for the growth and edification of individuals within the church community. The teaching of Jesus emphasizes the importance of encouragement, urging us to take heart and not succumb to fear. It is often more necessary to provide encouragement than admonishment in the context of spiritual leadership. Understanding the significance of debriefing can enhance the effectiveness of global workers and help them process their experiences. The process of debriefing allows individuals to unpack their experiences and recognize God's faithfulness in various situations. Identifying significant transitions or emotional states in others can prompt meaningful debriefing conversations that foster healing.
Tetsuko 'Tess' McKenzie was on her way to the train station on 6 August 1945 to catch a train into central Hiroshima with a friend.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 2026 edition of the New York Asian Film Festival with Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho on the tenth anniversary of the film's release, presented on this particular evening in a new 4K restoration. Ten years later, Train to Busan is still a monster with an angry engine. Yeon Sang-ho's breakout transforms a zombie outbreak aboard the KTX into one of the great modern action-horror rides: brutal, sentimental, and made for packed movie theaters. Gong Yoo plays a self-absorbed, divorced fund manager taking his young daughter to Busan for her birthday. Before they leave Seoul, the outbreak reaches the station, a bitten passenger makes it onto the train, and the trip becomes a car-by-car fight for survival, with fear spreading almost as fast as the virus. Ma Dong-seok became an international fan favorite here as the passenger everyone wanted on their side.

On Oct. 15, 1908, a freight train pulled away from Metz, Michigan, carrying families trying to escape one of the worst forest fires in state history.The passengers believed the railroad would carry them to safety. Instead, the train entered a burning corridor lined with cedar posts, railroad ties, hemlock bark and timber. Heat had damaged the tracks, and the locomotive derailed near Nowicki's Siding. The open freight cars behind it became a deadly trap.In this episode of The End of the Road in Michigan, we revisit the Metz Fire of 1908, the doomed relief train and the families caught between flames on both sides of the track. The story includes the desperate evacuation, the survivors who crawled through smoke and burning ground, and the residents who stayed behind and lived.The fire killed 37 people across Presque Isle County, destroyed much of Metz and left hundreds without homes as winter approached. It also exposed the dangers created by logging waste, drought and the lack of organized emergency planning in early 20th-century Michigan.This is the story of a village built by the railroad—and the night that railroad carried its people into the fire.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind PublicationsThis episode includes AI-generated content.

In this “random show” episode of The Hospitality Mentor Podcast, Steve Turk shares a multi-generational Miami Beach staycation at the Marriott Stanton South Beach, highlighting the South of Fifth location, Michelin star-winning The Den inside Azabu, and strong beach service and guest acknowledgment as a key hospitality lesson. He also recommends the Loews Miami Beach Hotel's Sushi Bar inside Bar Collins, praising Chef Khaleel Ali and the value of standout culinary “hidden gems” in big hotels. The family then takes the Brightline train from Miami to Orlando for a Disney trip, emphasizing assigned seating, onboard amenities, and the productivity and low-stress benefits versus driving. In Orlando, he reviews the Signia by Hilton (connected to Waldorf Astoria) as a strong value with great rooms, pool, restaurants, and fireworks views, noting slower bus transport to the parks, and shares a Disney day tip: book an air-conditioned sit-down meal like the Brown Derby. He announces the launch of staybaya.com for Baya, his upscale resort on a tropical fruit farm in Miami's Redland area targeting a mid-year opening next summer with a $50 VIP program offering 40% discounts, and he confirms plans for a Hospitality Power Breakfast series, with the first eight-person event hosted at The Moor in the Design District.Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Lodgify.

Every marathoner fears it: the wall. www.run4prs.comThat late-race moment when your legs feel like concrete, your pace starts slipping, and your brain begins negotiating.But here's the truth:Hitting the wall isn't inevitable — and it's not a test of toughness.In most cases, the wall is predictable. And more importantly, preventable.In this episode, we break down:What “the wall” actually is (and what it isn't)The biggest pacing mistake runners makeWhy fueling timing matters more than most people realizeHow to structure long runs to prepare your body for late-race fatigueThe role of strength and muscular durabilityHow to stay mentally steady when effort rises late in the raceYou'll learn why the wall is usually a fueling and pacing issue — not a character flaw — and how small strategic decisions early in the race determine what happens at mile 22.Key Takeaway:The marathon isn't about surviving the last 10K.It's about earning the right to run it well.If you want to avoid the late-race collapse and finish strong instead of hanging on, this episode gives you the blueprint.Train with intention.Race with patience.And stop treating the wall like a mystery.
Train, Sell, Destroy — aimed at helping salespeople break mental barriers, sharpen skills, and surpass dealership records. The core message is that training enables effective selling, and effective selling enables record-breaking performance ("destroying"). Kyle draws on nearly 27 years of sales experience to reinforce that mindset and preparation are the primary differentiators between average and top-tier salespeople."Destroy" is the ultimate goal: breaking store records, exceeding income expectations, and shattering self-imposed comfort zones — not just accumulating knowledgeTraining must precede selling: without structured preparation, salespeople operate blindly and underperformSelling is a numbers game: if it takes 5 customers to close 1 deal, a salesperson must interact with 5 people per day to sell 1 car dailyRole-play objection handling with managers or peers; iron sharpens ironWrite goals down — retention improves from ~10% to ~50% when notes are takenBreak down monthly targets (e.g., 30 cars ÷ 25 workdays = 1.25 cars/day)Study product, walk the lot, practice walk-arounds, and listen to top performersBuild rapport first — ~80% of selling effort should go toward building trust and friendship before closingSalespeople sell everything: the vehicle, the dealership, financing, warranties, GAP, and themselvesAsk clarifying questions on objections (e.g., "payment too high" → uncover whether it's budget, competitor pricing, or perceived value)Networking and personal visibility are key components of generating businessIdentify every store record (highest front-end gross, most units sold, highest back-end) and set explicit targets to beat themBreak the mental "comfort zone fence" — prospecting activities like visiting local businesses with donuts and cards feel uncomfortable but drive resultsGoal: take home $10,000+ net, not settle for $4,500 after deductionsKyle's personal best verified front-end gross: $18,900; actual highest deal: $28,000 on a Cobra sold $20,000 over MSRP (paid a $1,200 flat)Store record example used: 29 cars sold in a month during COVID — the target becomesSalesperson: Ask GSM for all store records (front-end gross, units sold, back-end) and write them down as personal targetsSalesperson: Break down monthly car sales goal into a daily number and build a working schedule around itSalesperson: Identify one comfort-zone activity (e.g., business prospecting visit) and execute itSalesperson: Begin or increase role-playing objection responses with a manager or peerNo unresolved agenda items; episode is instructional with no pending follow-ups scheduledBuy Kyle A Coffee☕️: https://buymeacoffee.com/poor2proPodcast Link: https://open.spotify.com/show/3J9uZkNdeue1PVLoQLowgy
Thriving through Menopause with Fitness, Fat Loss and a Focused Mind
Does it feel like every time you finally get consistent with exercise, another ache, pain, or injury shows up? Your knee starts hurting. Your shoulder acts up. Your back tightens, your foot aches, or an old injury returns. Before long, you may start wondering whether your body is falling apart—and why you should even keep trying. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm sharing what I've learned through my own seasons of joint pain, slower recovery, low energy, tennis elbow, gluteal tendinopathy, pelvic floor challenges, and the many changes that can come with perimenopause and menopause. Hormone imbalance can affect recovery, muscle soreness, energy, and how your body responds when you strength train. But pain does not have to become your identity, and modifying your workout does not mean you are weak or failing. We'll talk about how to listen to your body without quitting, how to strength train more wisely, and how to keep the habit alive while you recover. I'll also give you three simple questions to help you decide what your body may need today.

Back to School, Back to the Book: Learning and Instruction for Life and Godliness August has a rhythm to it. Backpacks are dusted off, school supply lists get pulled from the fridge, and classrooms across the country fill again with students ready — or not so ready — to learn. It's a season that turns our minds naturally toward education, instruction, and the shaping of young minds. But long before the first school bell of the year rings, the wisest man who ever lived was already wrestling with the pursuit of knowledge. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon reflects that "of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Solomon had access to the finest wisdom, wealth, and learning of his day — and still found that human knowledge alone, apart from God, leaves the soul unsatisfied. There is one education, however, that never wearies the soul because it leads to life. Paul charges young Timothy: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). This is the curriculum that matters most — not merely gathering information, but rightly handling God's Word so that our lives are shaped by it. This kind of learning doesn't begin in a classroom; it begins in the home. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Parents are a child's first teachers — the first voice shaping what is right and wrong, true and false. We see this modeled perfectly in the life of Christ Himself, who "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man" (Luke 2:52) — growing under instruction,

Sarah and I are still at it for the 30th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal. Healing is pain, as Sarah keeps reminding me, but we're still getting out to movies. On July 29th we actually split up because two interesting films were screening at the same time. Sarah decided to go full intellectual and catch the documentary. I went for the zombies-in-a-mall option. Both were worth talking about. First up is Colony, the latest from Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan). A bioterrorist unleashes a fungal-style zombie virus inside a big Seoul office-mall complex that gets locked down. The infected have a hive mind and keep evolving, which gives the usual siege setup some fresh wrinkles. Gianna Jun plays a sharp professor who's basically the Ripley of the piece — competent, figuring things out on the fly, holding it together. It's action-packed, loaded with practical effects, and looks more expensive than it likely was. At just over two hours it does throw in a few extra speed bumps that maybe weren't needed, but if you like high-octane zombie movies in the 28 Days Later vein, this is an easy recommendation. Sarah, meanwhile, saw Black Zombie, a Canadian-Haitian co-production documentary about the actual origins of the zombie. It starts with Haitian voodoo culture and the plantation history, then tracks how the concept mutated through early cinema (White Zombie), Romero, and into the modern biochemical versions we know today. It also digs into how Western pop culture has pretty thoroughly misrepresented and vilified voodoo along the way. Slash from Guns N' Roses even shows up as one of the talking heads. Educational, well-made, and especially interesting if you've ever wondered why “zombie” can mean so many different things depending on the movie. Bilingual and an easy watch for anyone who likes docs about horror genres. Two very different films about zombies, both solid. We'll keep going as long as the festival (and Sarah's leg) allows. Go see some Fantasia. The Fantasia International Film Festival runs from July 16th to August 2nd 2026 at Concordia University.

Menopause is one of the largest physiological transitions in a woman's adult life—yet many women are expected to navigate it quietly, without understanding what is happening or receiving meaningful support.In Part 1 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex begins a new four-part solo series exploring perimenopause, menopause, and what it means to faithfully steward a woman's body through a changing season.Drawing from more than 20 years of coaching women through peri- and postmenopause, Alex addresses the painful question underneath many women's frustrations:“What is wrong with me?”The answer is clear:Your body is changing. You are not broken.In this episode, Alex explains the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause; explores why symptoms and severity can vary so widely between women; and names some of the physical, emotional, relational, and metabolic changes that may occur.He also challenges two harmful extremes: dismissing every symptom as “just getting older” and blaming every difficulty after 40 on hormones.Menopause is not a disease—but that does not mean women should quietly endure symptoms that deserve attention, adaptation, or medical care.You'll also hear why a woman's story after 50 does not have to become a story of decline. Strength, muscle, cardiovascular fitness, confidence, wisdom, intimacy, service, and meaningful purpose are still available in this season.This episode also includes an important message for husbands and family members: compassion is not pity, and the women you love should not have to walk through this transition alone or in the dark.IN THIS EPISODEWhat perimenopause and menopause actually meanWhy menopause is a major transition, not a personal failureCommon physical, emotional, and relational challengesWhy symptoms can differ dramatically between womenThe danger of blaming everything on hormonesWhy unusual symptoms and abnormal bleeding deserve medical attentionThe potential freedoms and gains of postmenopausal lifeHow husbands can offer compassion and practical supportWhy adaptation is wisdom—not failureHow women can enter this season with agency and intentionSCRIPTURE FROM THE EPISODE“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”—Proverbs 31:25“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”—Ecclesiastes 3:1COMING NEXTIn Part 2 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex addresses exercise during perimenopause and postmenopause—including muscle, strength, cardiovascular fitness, bone density, high-intensity exercise, walking, and recovery.This is not about desperately holding onto youth.It is about preparing your body for what God may ask you to do with the decades ahead.NEED HELP NAVIGATING THIS SEASON?Email Coach Alex personally at:coachalex@faithfulfitness.coTell him what has changed, what you have been wrestling with, what you have already tried, and where you currently feel stuck.JOIN THE FAITHFUL FITNESS CORPSYou were not meant to steward your body alone.Join an intentional community of men and women working to make the most of every season God gives them:https://faithfulfitness.co/joinYour body is changing.You are not broken.And there is still a whole lot of good work ahead of you.Train hard.

"Big Eva" may be fading, but a new generation of online Christian influencers is taking its place. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the rise of "Gig Eva," how digital platforms are reshaping Christian authority, and why accountability to real churches and communities still matters. Then, the number of words people speak each day is dropping as more of everyday life moves online. The crew considers what we lose when convenience replaces even the smallest human interactions. Then, Skye talks with behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley about why conversations with strangers usually go better than we expect. They discuss how small choices to connect with others can make us happier, healthier, and less divided. Also this week, a new explosive ocean discovery.

In the aftermath of Bunker Hill, both Britain and the Continental Congress took decisive steps that pushed the colonies closer to a complete break with the mother country. Meanwhile, American forces under Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold launched a daring invasion of Canada, only to suffer a devastating defeat before the walls of Quebec. As the northern campaign collapsed amid disease, hunger, and retreat, George Washington searched for a way to break the British hold on Boston. The answer came in the form of Henry Knox's remarkable "Noble Train of Artillery," which allowed the Americans to fortify Dorchester Heights and force the British evacuation of the city.

In this episode of the Leadership and Learning Podcast, Randy Goruk talks with Mike Matalone, founder and chief talent officer of the XP3 Talent System and author of Hire, Train, and Retain. Together they unpack why most business problems are really people problems in disguise and why you can't hire great teams; you have to build them. Drawing on years of work with CEOs and leadership teams, Mike explains how to: Use two critical hiring filters: are they smart enough to learn and are they coachable? Replace vague job descriptions with clear definitions of success, results, time frames, and required behaviors. Build an integrated people system that connects hiring, training, coaching, and career paths. Create true employee engagement by linking people to your mission, vision, and values. Tap into discretionary effort, the extra 40–60% of performance most employees never give. Dramatically reduce turnover and increase productivity, illustrated by a case study that cut sales turnover from 80% to 23%. If you lead sales teams, manufacturing operations, distribution, or construction crews and feel too busy "just surviving the day" to focus on people, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, get better before you get bigger, and treat training and development as your best investment.

Headline: The AI Bubble: China's Strategic Intellectual Property Theft Guest: Brandon Ward and Gordon Chang Summary: China is allegedly using stolen American intellectual property to train its artificial intelligence models, such as Moonshot's Kimmy K3. Brandon Ward suggests this is a strategic move to collapse the inflated market value of the American AI sector. Gordon Chang warns that despite export bans, Chinese firms continue to acquire high-end Nvidia chips, complicating US strategic plans and economic dominance while threatening a potential future shooting war.

Cooper Kupp is making one-handed grabs that make you wonder what he has left to prove, Mike Macdonald is quoting Michael Jordan and the '91 Bulls to a locker room that's still mostly intact from a championship roster, and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is getting some high praise from his head coach. We discuss why Devon Witherspoon still not having an extension could be a concern, and we get into why it may be better to get Sam Darnold locked up long term now rather than waiting.

If you are the only person who can close deals, your company cannot scale beyond your personal capacity. Founder-led sales may build the business in the beginning. But eventually, it becomes the bottleneck. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why relying on the founder to close every high-ticket deal creates a revenue ceiling—and how to build a sales system that performs without you. Your charisma is not a scalable process. If the pipeline stops when you take a vacation, get sick, or focus on another part of the company, you do not have a true sales department. You have a job that depends entirely on you. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why founder-led sales becomes a liability as the company grows• How to document your pitch, objections, and closing process• Why repeatable systems are more valuable than individual charisma• How training a sales team allows the founder to focus on bigger opportunities The truth is simple: You cannot build exponential growth while sitting on discovery calls all day. Record the pitch. Document the process. Build the playbook. Train your team to prospect, present, and close without your involvement. True leverage is making money when you are not in the room.

In everyday life, we're torn between fierce attachment to our loved ones and anger at those that give us trouble. But Buddhism, democracy, and social justice tell us that all people deserve the same rights and freedoms: we're all equal, and we all deserve happiness. The Buddhist meditation on equanimity, applied to our everyday relationships and the painful daily news, teaches us a technique of “spiritual democracy” for developing healthy feelings of connection to others—even those we most despise.Episode 22.

If you want stronger legs, more glute growth, or that lean, defined look, it makes sense to wonder if one leg day is really enough. And if you are already putting in the work, it can be frustrating when your lower body still does not look as defined as you want it to. So naturally, your brain goes to the next question: do I need more leg days? In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we are answering a question from the Movement With Julie community about training legs multiple times a week, repeating muscle groups, and what actually helps your body build definition without burning you out. What's Discussed: How recovery plays a role in building muscle and seeing definition What to look at before adding another weighted lower body workout How to make leg exercises more challenging without needing heavier weights Where walking, HIIT, Pilates, and yoga can fit into your routine Why nutrition matters if you are training consistently but not seeing the definition you want How to get more out of the work you are already doing If you want a strength plan that takes the guesswork out of your workouts, Movement With Julie gives you structured training you can do at home or in the gym, with 30-minute and 60-minute options that help you build strength without overthinking what to do next.
