On their weekly Penn State football podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to sort through the team's recurring issues in the wake of the loss to Ohio State. Did James Franklin whiff harder on hiring Andy Kotelnicki as OC or Jim Knowles as DC? On the offensive side, why is Kotelnicki so devoted to gimmicky plays without Tyler Warren still on the roster? Has Drew Allar been exonerated by the offense's continuing struggles without him? Are receivers Trebor Pena, Kyron Hudson and Devote Ross this bad? Or is the vertical passing game they're playing in just poorly conceived by their coordinator? And what can we make of Ethan Grunkemeyer's performance in this offense so far? On the defensive side of the ball, was Knowles just too much of a philosophical shift from Tom Allen and Manny Diaz? Why haven't Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zane Durant and Zuriah Fisher had more success up front? Were they overrated? Or has Knowles misused them? And why didn't Knowles have better solutions for Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeyes offense he was so familiar with, having coached alongside it last season? Our duo tackles those questions, then briefly previews this week's matchup with second-ranked Indiana at Beaver Stadium. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

R. Kenner French welcomes Tom Allen, founder of The AI Journal, and sets the tone: this is a practical, experience-driven conversation about AI, entrepreneurship, and building a media platform. Tom explains his background in marketing and how, frustrated by the lack of thoughtful places to share AI perspectives, he started The AI Journal as a passion project nearly five years ago. Early struggles and learning from failures shaped the platform more than overnight success ever could.Tom outlines what The AI Journal actually is and how it operates: an inclusive publishing platform that invites contributors from many domains — from tax and self-care to quantum computing and education — to share strategies, tools, frameworks, and long-form insight rather than chasing daily fast news. The site's mission is to elevate expert voices, encourage healthy debate, and provide deep dives that help readers understand and apply AI meaningfully.A recurring theme is the power of collaboration and community. Tom credits partnership-building and human networking as the most important drivers of his progress: connecting people, amplifying their work, and helping contributors get visibility that led to speaking gigs, mentions in major outlets, and real business relationships. Both hosts emphasize that community and collaboration compound value — one plus one often becomes much more than two.Tom gives straightforward advice to entrepreneurs: be customer-centric and build for real problems. He warns that media and platform businesses are particularly hard — you must focus on serving the reader/customer, not chasing features or flashy product bells. He stresses the importance of knowing who you're building for, fostering partnerships, and designing offerings that genuinely help users, which in turn creates advocates and sustainable growth.Looking ahead, Tom shares a hopeful but pragmatic vision: expanding media brands into focused verticals, exploring a first non-media startup, and continuing to help people build careers and connections through the platform. Both host and guest close on an optimistic note about AI's role in creating new jobs and markets, while reminding entrepreneurs that human connection, collaboration, and customer-first thinking remain the core ingredients for long-term success.Takeaways• Tom Allen emphasizes the importance of collaboration in business.• The AI Journal started as a passion project, not a business.• Content creation is vital for engaging audiences in the AI space.• Learning from failures is crucial for growth and success.• The reader is considered the number one customer at the AI Journal.• Healthy debates and diverse opinions are encouraged on the platform.• Tom's background includes a mix of marketing and engineering insights.• Future aspirations include expanding into various tech sectors.• AI is seen as a tool for creating new opportunities, not job losses.• Building a community around a product is essential for long-term success.Sound Bites• You learn from your downs.• People get bored very easily.• It's going to better humanity.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Clemson DC Tom Allen addresses the media ahead of the Tigers' open date

All right, college sports fans -- Cade Klubnik had one of the better games of his career by staying composed and making his reads as Clemson put up 41 points in a blowout win at Boston College. The Tigers are a .500 team again overall and in the ACC, but Dabo Swinney still has work to do with this team if the winning ways are to continue. Tom Allen's defense gave up too many plays of double-digit yardage as Garrett Riley's offense started to click. We're glad you found us!

All right, college sports fans -- Despite solid stats from QB Christopher Vizzina in his first start, Clemson lost 35-24 to SMU and is in the bottom half of the ACC standings. Dabo Swinney has a lot to take stock of, and we start our analysis from afar with a look at the troubles that have plagued Tom Allen's defense all season long. We also look at longer trends of recent season to try to figure out what's going wrong, and what seems evident to us is that there's a big disconnect between the coaches and players. In this episode, we start to dive into where Clemson might try to make progress as it enters the second bye week of the 2025 season. We're glad you found us!

All right, college sports fans -- Clemson has dug itself a hole that's two games below .500 before the Tigers even have their first ACC win. That needs to get better Saturday at UNC, but if Clemson is to right its ship some in-house problems need to be taken care of. We'll run through some of the top fixes Dabo Swinney and his coordinators, Garrett Riley and Tom Allen, must make if their players are to live up to their potential. We also have a few quick ideas on big-picture problems to consider, not that they help this week. We're glad you found us!

Send us a textIn this episode of Conversations with Big Rich, Texas native Lance Gilbert traces his winding path from small-town Keller and church-band guitars to VW shops, GM dealerships, architecture school, homebuilding—and a post-9/11 pivot back to off-road. Lance shares formative years at Sunray Engineering with the late Tom Ellison, a decade at PSC with Tom Allen, and deep roots in early Ultra4 and King of the Hammers.Highlights: - Early days: fishing, bikes, first wrenching job at a VW/Audi/Porsche shop; first rigs from Suburbans to Isuzu pickups and Jeeps. - Career pivots: dealerships to homebuilding; how 9/11 led to Sunray and custom axle innovation; later years at PSC and into Tribe 16. - Racing stories: Class 3 in Baja, the early KOH era, and a memorable Vegas to Reno with the Texas crew. - Tribe 16 name: a nod to 4x4 (“the 16”) and the “night shift” culture of building with friends. - Today at Tribe 16: customer Jeeps, high-end builds and restorations (Scout, '72 Commando, CJ-7), gear and maintenance, and two new Tribe chassis trail cars. - Community first: Texas trail rides, shop trips, the legendary Crawfish Boil, and why local shops collaborate more than they compete.Lance's take: passion fuels the work, but relationships sustain the business—and the off-road family is the heartbeat of Tribe 16. Support the show

Episode 209 of The Adventure Podcast features adventurer, writer, and filmmaker, Tom Allen. In this episode, Tom talks to Matt about the wild and winding path that shaped his life on the road. At just 23, Tom left behind a career in web development to cycle around the world with no real plan - a journey that would transform him in ways he couldn't have imagined. From naïve beginnings and near-disasters to profound moments of liberation, Tom shares what it really feels like to embrace a life of radical freedom. He recounts moments that forced him to question the true value of endless wandering. Along the way, he opens up about falling in love, and the delicate balance between pursuing boundless adventure and choosing deep connection. The discussion also touches on Tom's shift from pure adventure to purposeful projects, like building hiking trails in Armenia, and his evolving role as both a storyteller and facilitator of others' journeys. This is a story of bikes, deserts, love, and finding home in unexpected places.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

Tom Allen and Ben Boulware recently participated in media interviews in advance of the 2025 season. We present the uncut audio from both of their interviews. Dabo Swinney pulled off a coup in landing Allen after the firing of Wes Goodwin, who lasted three years as the Tigers' defensive coordinator. Boulware, who is in charge of the linebackers, spent the previous year in a support-staff role for his alma mater.  Clemson's defense is poised to make a major rebound from the group that struggled mightily to stop the run last season.
