Ann McFerran was a broke artist in a Koreatown backhouse, driving a PT Cruiser, with a few thousand dollars and an idea for magnetic lashes nobody had made yet. No investors. No business degree. No safety net. By year two, Glamnetic hit $40 million in revenue. This week on Superwomen, Ann breaks down exactly how she got there through cold DMs with 30% conversion rates, hand-labeling products with friends at midnight, maxing out credit cards, and becoming her own influencer before TikTok even existed. We also get into why she's never taken outside funding, what she's building next with DIGI Beauty, and the mindset shift that separates founders who quit from founders who scale. If you're in the early, unglamorous stage of building something… this one's for you.

We love to celebrate winning—but we don't talk enough about what it takes to get there without losing yourself along the way. After 15 years as the head women's basketball coach at UCLA, Cori Close just led her team to a national championship. But behind that moment was a constant tension so many high performers face: Can you compete at the highest level without compromising what you believe in? In this conversation, Cori shares how she learned to manage that tension instead of trying to eliminate it—and why chasing outcomes can quietly pull you away from what matters most. From building a culture rooted in daily standards to redefining success beyond banners and rings, she offers a blueprint for leaders who want both excellence and alignment. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a new way to think about success—one that's built on who you become, not just what you achieve.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about the women's basketball national championship, UCLA baseball's dominance, what's going on with the transfer portal in basketball, and then some observations from football practice. The women won the national championship this past weekend, and we talked about the dominant win over South Carolina and the overwhelming talent the Bruins had on this team. We also discussed the transfer portal a bit, and some things we've heard regarding women's transfers. We then touched on the baseball team, currently riding a 30-2 record and a 24-game winning streak. It's another team that's playing at a historically dominant level, not unlike the women's basketball team. Then we shifted gears toward the men's basketball transfer portal, where we tried to answer the question of why UCLA is taking so many power forwards. We then touched on transfer guard recruiting and the post position. Finally, we wrapped up talking about the access we've gotten to UCLA football practice, and how that's afforded us much more in-depth observation periods. As such, we broke down a lot of what we've seen from different position groups on offense and defense. Bruin Report Online is now at On3! Join BRO today and get 5 months for ONLY $1!

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/magteinpodcast In this episode with neuroscientist Dr. Guosong Liu, you’ll explore his accidental discovery at MIT's Center for Learning and Memory that led him down a two-decade journey into brain magnesium, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive decline. That research ultimately resulted in the invention of Magtein® (magnesium L-threonate), a compound he engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier in a way other magnesium forms cannot, with clinical trials showing a reversal of nine years of cognitive decline, measurable shifts in sleep architecture, stress reduction in as little as three days, and meaningful improvements in prefrontal cortex function at just 140 milligrams per day. Dr. Liu also shares what his current Alzheimer's prevention research looks like. Dr. Liu is a world-renowned neuroscientist whose pioneering research on brain magnesium has transformed our understanding of cognitive function and synaptic plasticity. With more than 25 years of neuroscience expertise, he previously served on the faculty at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, founded the Center for Learning and Memory at Tsinghua University, and earned his Ph.D. in Neurophysiology from UCLA. His translational research has bridged laboratory discovery and human clinical application, resulting in multiple trials demonstrating Magtein's efficacy in supporting cognitive performance. Magtein is the patented, clinically studied form of magnesium L-threonate designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and support memory, focus, mood, sleep quality, and stress resilience. Featured in more than 400 products across 40-plus countries, it is the global standard in brain-support magnesium nutrition. Ready to give your brain magnesium it can actually use?

The Prophets are back breaking down a wild championship run in college hoops. The guys open with the Michigan Wolverines taking down the UConn Huskies to win the men's national title, then shift to the women's side where the UCLA Bruins shock the South Carolina Gamecocks to claim the crown. From there, the conversation turns to the transfer portal and how in today's era, roster turnover can outweigh everything you thought you knew about a team's season. The Prophets then rave about Lauren Betts, making the case for why she's the true #1 overall pick for the Dallas Wings after dominating both Texas Longhorns in the Final Four and the championship game. To close, the guys tap into the NBA, debating the 65-game requirement rule, what it means for awards, player value, and how it could shape the entire 2026 season.

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence (Beacon Press, 2025) reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Dr. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability.The Coroner's Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Dr. Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate, document, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner's Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence. Our guest is: Dr. Terence Keel, who is an award-winning scholar, the founding director of the BioCritical Studies Lab, and a professor of human biology, society, and African-American studies at UCLA. He received fellowships from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health, and is the author of Divine Variations, and The Coroner's Silence.

Two coaches. Two losses. Two press conferences. Same signal. Villanova's Kevin Willard threatened to fire his staff on live television, doubled down in the post-game press conference, then called it a joke when the backlash hit. UCLA's Mick Cronin dismissed a reporter's question, called it the worst he'd ever been asked, then accused him of raising his voice — on camera — in front of a room full of people. Neither apologized. Both made the questioner the problem. That's not frustration. That's contempt.Here's what these press conferences actually reveal: crises don't start with headlines. They start with tone, word choice, and the instinct that kicks in before you've had time to think. Reputations don't collapse overnight. They erode slowly, one moment of contempt at a time.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

The city of the week is Bloomington, Indiana, and they promote Square Cuts training discs and sponsors EAS and Elite Sporting Goods.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's first series loss of the season after the Trojans were swept by No. 1 UCLA after getting a midweek win in the rain against UC Santa Barbara. They also talk with USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz and look at what USC needs to do to bounce back with another midweek matchup with UC Santa Barbara and a weekend series against Iowa coming up. In the first half of the show, Stankiewicz talks about the Trojans being swept by UCLA and the reflective process he goes through after the conclusion of a series lost. The head coach also discusses what the team can learn from playing the No. 1 team in the nation and how the coaching staff can help individual players get back on track. Stankiewicz also tells the story of the chat he had with sophomore Augie Lopez that has helped spur on his recent surge of hitting safely in 10 of the last 11 games and talks about why the Trojans have been so aggressive on the basepaths. He also discusses USC's bullpen usage and who could be earning more opportunities in the second half of the season. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey break down the Trojans' 1-3 week in the Three Up, Three Down segment, looking at the negatives and finding a couple of positives from the UCLA series sweep. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and previewing a big bounce back opportunity for USC as it heads up to UC Santa Barbara on Tuesday before welcoming Iowa to Dedeaux Field over the weekend.
