Tyler describes the cultural differences playing in different NHL cities. The Penguins are not going to beat teams with a superior offense, but it's going to come down to toughness. Ryan Graves is one of the bad contracts that Kyle Dubas signed.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Tyler Kennedy: Tyler Kennedy believes the Penguins need to give their young guys a long leash. TK thinks the Penguins will be in more trouble if they put the young guys only on the 3rd and 4th line. Tristan Broz and other young players have played well in the preseason.

Your mindset is the steering wheel of your life—point it the wrong way, and you'll drift into defeat. Point it the right way, and you'll build strength, resilience, and purpose.In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down the concept of mindset selection—the truth that you have the power to choose how you think, how you respond, and how you grow. Instead of being driven by emotions or circumstances, you can deliberately select a mindset that produces victory.This conversation is raw, practical, and full of fire. From biblical wisdom to SEAL-tested mental toughness, you'll learn how to recognize destructive thought patterns, reject passivity, and build the mindset of a man who refuses to settle.

Joey McGuire, head football coach at Texas Tech, joins 365 Sports to reflect on the Red Raiders' statement win at Utah, the impact of leadership in his veteran roster, and how his staff built a defense-first identity. McGuire also discusses his aggressive use of the transfer portal, navigating Big 12 pressures, and why he believes Texas Tech can disrupt the college football status quo.

Somber? Sure. Sky-is-falling? Hell no. Nebraska got mauled up front—but Raiola and the defense showed real growth. Let's talk like adults, Husker Nation. We open on the fan meltdown and why it's overcooked. Then we get into the real football: the DL held up better than most expected, but the O-line (especially at LT) was a problem all night. We argue the Elijah Pritchett vs “Gunner Tool” question and why penalties > drive-killing sacks. RB room? Thin. Emmett ran hard but isn't a true RB1 and pass pro burned us—bad. We clap back at the national talking heads ripping Dylan Raiola; the kid threw darts under constant heat and still stacked numbers. We also hit the secondary quietly bodying Michigan's hyped QB, the difference a few explosive runs made, and why roster building (recruiting + NIL) must target DL and RB. We close with prop-bet results, fan leaderboard shoutouts, and a bye-week tease.

In the final hour of today's show, the guys hit the Falcons report and discuss the toughness shown by Penix in his first start of the season.

Carl and Mike get back to talking Falcons and agree the season opening loss left a bad taste in their mouths due to the fact the team produced many positive and exciting moments throughout the game and Michael Penix Jr. showed the 'heart and toughness' the Falcons need to lead their offense. They then get back to Youghoe Koo's missed field goal and share thoughts on whether or not the Falcons need to release him and why their believe the Falcons never did anything this offseason to challenge Koo.

Philadelphia's long-lasting nightmare ends as FanDuel pledges to cover the costs of running extra trains for the home opener. As this was recorded before said game, we still had a lot of questions about the Eagles heading into the 2025 season. And, as we do every year, we - or, at least, Kris - predict the stats for the Birds on both sides of the ball for all 17 games.

There's an architecture to dysfunction. It starts with broken beliefs about who you are, and it becomes lifestyle chaos. This week, Ed Latimore joins me to dismantle that architecture from the inside out. A former heavyweight boxer turned Stoic philosopher, physicist, and master of emotional discipline, Ed knows what happens when discipline outruns self-awareness and toughness becomes armor, not healing. We go deep on how distorted thinking drives destructive behavior; how emotional regulation isn't about feeling control—it's predictive science; and why optimism without realism becomes denial. This episode is a surgical blueprint for rethinking how you think, feel, and engage with life's stress. If you're tired of overthinking, overdoing, and still not seeing change, listen closely. Because transformation begins the moment you question what you're telling yourself about your own strength, your pain, and your beliefs.

Discussing takeaways from the Dolphins preseason debut vs the Chicago Bears with former Miami Dolphins WR Oronde Gadsden.

Marianne Lewis is dean of the University of Cincinnati College of Business, and she previously served as dean of Bayes Business School at City, University of London. Marianne researches organizational paradoxes, including the tensions surrounding leadership and innovation. She has been recognized among the world's most-cited researchers in her field, having won numerous academic awards, and her work also appears in media outlets, such as Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Newsweek. Her latest book, Both/And Thinking is published by Harvard Business School Press. In this episode we discuss the following: I love Marianne's insight that the best leaders are not tough or kind, but rather both.  Toughness and kindness are not opposite ends of a spectrum but rather two sides of the same coin. And any leader who pushes too hard on one, while ignoring the other, will not reach their potential. And I thought it was especially interesting to hear about the creative geniuses who also appreciated tension and paradoxes: motion vs rest, particle vs wave, harmony vs discord, light vs. dark, life vs death. The magic is in the tension. When it comes to leadership the best leaders are both tough and kind.

Yesterday, the Canadian writer Diane Francis argued that Donald Trump should consider Xi Jinping's China a competitor rather than an enemy. Perhaps. But in this zero-sum “competition” between Trump and Xi for top tough guy, there can only be one winner. As Xi Jinping's father's biographer, Joseph Torigian explains, Xi had a brutally harsh upbringing. In his new book about Xi's father, Xi Zhongxun, Torigian explains that it was a childhood descent from privileged son of a communist party aristocrat to utter poverty, political exile and literal homelessness. That's the kind of tough guy that our self-styled “tough guy” President is competing with in today's Hobbesian bipolar world of international politics. I'm pretty sure that only one of these tough guys will come out on top. And it won't be the pampered middle son of a real-estate mogul from Queens.1. Xi Jinping's "Toughness" is Genuine, Not PerformativeUnlike privileged leaders who talk tough, Xi was forged by real hardship - his father was purged five times, spent 16 years in political exile, and Xi himself experienced homelessness, street battles, and rural exile. This created authentic resilience, not manufactured bravado.2. China's System Remains Dangerously Leader-DependentDespite assumptions about "collective leadership," Chinese politics never escaped the strongman model. Even Deng Xiaoping, supposedly constrained by colleagues, made unilateral decisions like Tiananmen. Xi isn't breaking the system - he's following its core logic that only a powerful "core" leader can hold China together.3. Taiwan is Personal, Not Just Political for XiHis father Xi Zhongxun was the party's leading "United Front" strategist who handled Taiwan relations in the 1980s through secret back-channels. For Xi, Taiwan represents both unfinished family business and his promise not to be "the one to lose" Chinese territory bequeathed by ancestors.4. Xi's Strategy is Patience, Not RecklessnessGrowing up watching his father navigate purges taught Xi when to act and when to "bide his time." Unlike Putin's sledgehammer approach, Xi moves "deliberately and competitively, but cautiously" - preferring to win without fighting rather than risk catastrophic failure.5. The Party's Biggest Fear is Losing the Next GenerationXi obsesses over whether young Chinese will remain loyal to the revolutionary cause without experiencing the hardship that dedicated his generation. With property crashes and youth unemployment, he's trying to recreate commitment through "national sacrifice" narratives - but it's unclear if this will work on a generation that expects prosperity, not suffering.1.
