    How Self Talk Can Sabotage You & Questioning What's “Normal”

    Your mind wanders — that's normal. But letting it drift too much may come at a cost. Research shows that frequent mind-wandering can make you less happy, less focused, and more stressed than you realize. This episode begins with why an unfocused mind can quietly work against you. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101111141759.htm You talk to yourself constantly — and much of that inner dialogue is critical, harsh, and unhelpful. The good news is that voice can be changed. Dr. Rachel Goldsmith Turow explains how self-talk shapes how you think, feel, and act — and why learning to speak to yourself with more kindness can be life-changing. Rachel is a psychotherapist, research scientist, adjunct faculty member at Seattle University, and author of The Self-Talk Workout: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Dissolve Self-Criticism and Transform the Voice in Your Head. (https://amzn.to/3L6H5Sq) Rachel also mentions a free UCLA course on mindfulness from the Mindful Awareness Research Center, which you can find here: https://www.uclahealth.org/programs/marc Just because something is considered normal doesn't mean it's healthy — or even right. That's the core message from Dr. Gabor Maté, an acclaimed physician and author of The Myth of Normal (https://amzn.to/3lcqW3i). Many common practices in parenting, work, and society are accepted simply because they're familiar. Gabor challenges us to question those assumptions and rethink what “normal” really means. And finally, we've all encountered people who dominate conversations by talking endlessly about themselves. If you ever get the chance to speak, there's a surprisingly effective phrase you can use to steer the conversation — or end it altogether. https://www.uexpress.com/life/miss-manners/2014/09/02 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

    New Year Reset: Trade Accumulation Goals for Contribution Goals

    Happy New Year! In this special episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey revisit a foundational principle from their grandfather, Stephen R. Covey, to set the tone for the year: "Life is not about accumulation, it is about contribution."Moving beyond typical New Year's resolutions focused on achievement and acquisition, Stephen and Britain explore why shifting your focus to giving rather than getting is the key to deeper happiness and lasting fulfillment. They unpack the difference between "Primary Greatness" (character, integrity, contribution) and "Secondary Greatness" (titles, fame, fortune), explaining that while pursuing external success is not wrong, building a life on the bedrock of contribution is what makes success meaningful and enduring.Britain shares a powerful personal story from the NFL, highlighting how veteran teammate Brandon Graham consciously fights a culture of transactional relationships by contributing to every new player. This serves as a model for choosing connection over comparison in any environment. Stephen reflects on a recent family experience serving at a local ministry, which recentered him on what truly matters as a parent.Backed by research from Harvard, UCLA, and thinkers like Adam Grant, this conversation is a timely reset for anyone feeling the pressure to constantly achieve and acquire. It is a call to find greater joy in 2026 by focusing on the unseen, noble work of contributing to the people right in front of you.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction to Paradigm Shifting Books[00:57] Contribution over accumulation: a core principle[02:00] Research and studies supporting contribution[03:46] Primary vs. secondary greatness[04:46] Personal reflections on contribution[07:02] NFL insights: Brandon Graham's example[14:44] Family and community contributions[17:29] Conclusion and reflections for the new yearNotable Quotes[01:17] “Life is not about accumulation. It's about contribution.” – Stephen R. Covey[04:02] “You can have secondary greatness without primary greatness, but it won't last.” – Stephen R.

    Episode 068: 2022 AIA Whitney M. Young Jr. Honor Award Winners: RIDING THE VORTEXWhat lessons on architecture, practice, and change can we learn from AIA Whitney M. Young Jr. Honor Award Recipients Kathryn Prigmore, Kathy Dixon, Katherine Williams, and Melissa Daniel?Named for civil rights leader Whitney M. Young Jr., the AIA Whitney M. Young Jr. Honor Award distinguishes an architect or architectural organization that embodies social responsibility and actively addresses a relevant issue, such as affordable housing, inclusiveness, or universal access. Architects and design leaders Kathryn Tyler Prigmore, FAIA; Kathy Denise Dixon, FAIA; Katherine Williams, AIA; and Melissa R. Daniel, Assoc. AIA are the winners of this year's award for their leadership in advancing educational programming to support and increase the number of people of color licensed to practice architecture in the U.S.According to the American Institute of Architects, “The number of practicing African-American architects had been a stagnant 2% in recent decades. In the early 1990s, there were just 1,800 licensed African-American architects in the country, and only 30 of them were women. As of the summer of 2021, those numbers have grown to 2,435 and 533, respectively, and VORTEX has been a major catalyst in the 254% growth in African-American women architects.”This episode includes the stories of the VORTEX collaborators, as well as a candid discussion about their careers, what inspires them, and their work to build this program.Guests:Kathryn Prigmore, FAIA, NOMAC, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C, CDT is an architect, educator, and design practice leader with an inimitable understanding of the dynamics that impact the management of firms from the perspective of an architect, academic, and regulator.

    After we filmed the podcast - the media started reporting on all the cancellations at the Kennedy Center. We then got “friendly inquiries” from CNN and The Washington Post asking if we were cancelling. This is designed to intimidate us and our cast and crew. It's like the mafia expressing concern for that nice restaurant - it would be a shame if something happened to it. They want us to buckle under the pressure. We will NOT.Below is our statement on the cancellation attempt. The OCTOBER 7 play will absolutely be on stage on January 28th.Good riddance to these taxpayer-funded cosplaying rebels. They seem to think producing art is about them feeling comfortable and cozy. Artists should always go where they feel uncomfortable, even unwanted—if they want to change the world, that's where they should be, instead of speaking into their taxpayer-funded echo chamber.These performative walkouts are for their friends and funders—they don't care about the wider audience or creating new audiences. And they wonder why so many theaters are struggling?Even their friends are bored with the woke, clichéd, and hectoring art they are producing. "Doug Varone and Dancers," the New York dance company, said their walkout was "morally exhilarating."That's very telling.They create to make themselves feel better, not the audience.We create to bring the truth to the audience. Good to see these woke “artists” leave the stage. It leaves more stage time for the rest of us who want to produce genuine art.We are already thinking about future events at the Kennedy Center.Phelim McAleer & Ann McElhinneyJust to remind everyone about what we are planning for the Kennedy Center.We are taking OCTOBER 7, our verbatim play, to the venue on January 28. The play will be in the beautiful Terrace Theater. We went to Israel after the October 7 massacres and interviewed survivors, the bereaved and heroes who fought back. We turned their testimony into the play that has been performed across the country from Off-Broadway in New York to the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. It has also been performed on several other college campuses - places that really need to hear the truth. The performance at the Kennedy Center will be intimate, raw, and unforgettable. Please watch the podcast to hear the full story - you can also get tickets at the link below. I really want to see you there. The New York Post said OCTOBER 7 was "Spellbinding..powerful and a sanctuary for truth. It breathes life into characters that will hopefully inspire people…When you can put yourself in the shoes of what these people went through, that's what creates empathy. That's very important ... right now in this country, regardless of your politics." So please come see the play. If you can't come to DC you can donate to fight the bullies and censors at the link below. And while the mainstream media is obsessing over the fake genocide in Gaza, 7,000 Christians were slaughtered by Islamist radicals in Nigeria in the first eight months of this year. However the mainstream media is pretending that they are being killed in a land war caused by climate change. This week we interviewed Brian Orme, the CEO of Global Christian Relief. He has been to Nigeria and has a team working to aid displaced, persecuted Christians, terrorized by radical muslims.Watch the scoop to hear what's really going on!And the Los Angeles Times shocked us, as they actually did their jobs and reported actual news on the true cause of the deadly Palisades fire and how the city administration tried to cover it up. Watch the scoop to see our coverage of the Palisades wreckage.

    On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam is joined by 49ers linebacker Eric Kendricks for a wide‑ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly honest conversation that swings from NFL war stories to car collections to questionable tattoos. Eric kicks things off by declaring—alongside Cam—that he’s definitely better than his brother Mychal, before revealing he once thought the Saints were going to draft him in the first round. The two revisit their playoff battles, including the infamous Minneapolis Miracle matchup that still stings in New Orleans, and Eric opens up about the vibe inside the 49ers locker room and why it’s exactly what he hoped for. The college stories start flowing as Eric explains why UCLA won him over (and why Cal rubbed him the wrong way), while Cam relives his own 3‑star recruitment journey and the chaos of taking every visit possible. From there, they dive into the wild 49ers–Bears 42-38 thriller, the chess‑match play‑calling between Kyle Shanahan and Ben Johnson, and how today’s offenses—and quarterbacks—are changing the sport. With the 49ers pushing for the No. 1 seed, Eric talks about staying locked in, choosing San Francisco in free agency, and keeping his routine sharp in year 11. Things take a turn when Cam refuses to call the Super Bowl a “San Francisco Super Bowl,” Eric reveals the newest addition to his car collection (a Honda CRX), and the two bond over stick‑shift lessons, Little Caesars schemes, and dream cars like the Ferrari F40 and Porsche Carrera GT.

    Send us a textJerzy Gregorek and his wife Aniela survived a perilous journey living behind the Iron Curtain in Poland while it was subservient to brutal Soviet Union domination. He describes the darkness of living there in the 1970s and 80s, and how it led to him becoming an alcoholic at age 15. He had a mentor who pretty much dragged him into weightlifting at the time of the rise of Solidarity, the movement that led to the fall of the repressive Communist regime and to the free Poland that exists today despite constant threats from Putin's Russia. Escaping that destructive, alcoholic path shaped his understanding of resilience and personal responsibility. He rebuilt his life — becoming a political exile in the USA, then a four-time world champion weightlifter, and later a mentor, poet, and a student earning his PhD in Humanistic Psychology. His core philosophy — “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” — comes from lived experience and years of guiding people through transformation. Jerzy founded the weightlifting program at UCLA, and Aniela herself is a five-time world weightlifting champion with six world records.What sets Jerzy apart is his ability to integrate physical training, creative expression, and psychological insight into a holistic approach to health and resilience. He emphasizes that emotional intelligence is a crucial element in overcoming life's adversities, and that it can be practiced, cultivated, and mastered. His three books, titled “The Happy Body: Mastering Food, Exercise, and Rest Choices,” are designed to help people embrace this path of strength, wisdom, and balance. The poetry book “The Happy Body: Food For Your Soul” helps with emotional eating. “The Happy Body Virtues: Daily Practices for the Modern Stoic” helps with emotional eating and self-regulation, while “I Got This: The Art of Getting Grit” helps with integrating the stories that contribute to building the skill of living a good life. Listen closely to the wise lessons Jerzy shares here and strongly consider getting deeper into The Happy Body to learn to apply the “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” philosophy to your own life. This might be one New Year's resolution for change that I can heartily endorse.Jerzy Gregorekthehappybody.comjerzygregorek@gmail.comThe Happy Body book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N21PL3DFacebook The Happy BodyYouTube @thehappybodyLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerzy-gregorek-ab87475/Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

    “‘We said pledges about remembering our ancestors… loving Black (at Aisha Shule)” In this episode, Dr. Tierra Bills—Assistant Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Public Policy at UCLA—returns home through memory, tracing her family's East Side roots and the African-centered foundation of Aisha Shule, where “as the daughter of one of the Walimu… I had to set the tone.” She honors Mama Easter's “big presence” and the rituals that taught students their history “did not start with slavery,” then shows how that cultural grounding carried her from FAMU to UC Berkeley and into transportation engineering. Bills breaks down “mobility as a system,” asking not just how we travel, but “how easy can I get to my desired destinations?” and what happens when data, scooters, robots, and roadwork reshape daily life. From 696 detours to the I-375/Black Bottom rebuild, she insists engineers must measure real community impacts: “80% of the businesses will be shut down,” “your travel time has ballooned,” and “those who are bearing the worst impacts are those who are also most vulnerable.” It's a Detroit legacy lesson—culture as preparation, and policy as repair—and an invitation to show up at public meetings.

In this post-holiday special – recorded December 29, 2025 – hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi celebrate the end of a turbulent 2025 season while looking ahead to the Matt Campbell rebuild. Fresh off a gritty bowl win, we're dissecting the victory over Clemson, the blockbuster hire of D'Anton Lynn as defensive coordinator, the impending transfer portal opening, and answering your fan questions. From on-field heroics to offseason strategy, this episode is your roadmap to PSU's 2026 resurgence in the Big Ten. Despite a sloppy, error-filled game on both sides, PSU (finishing 7-6) dominated with a stout defense and timely plays, holding the Tigers (also 7-6) to just one touchdown. We discuss interim coaching impacts, fan reactions in the Bronx cold, and how this win provides closure to the James Franklin era while boosting morale for Campbell's takeover. Big news from Happy Valley – Matt Campbell has landed USC's D'Anton Lynn as PSU's new DC! The former Nittany Lion letterman (a standout player in the early 2010s) is returning home after two successful seasons transforming USC's defense. Shawn dives into Lynn's coaching pedigree – son of NFL coach Anthony Lynn, with stints at UCLA and the Ravens – and why his aggressive, player-development-focused schemes are a perfect fit for PSU's talent-laden unit. We explore the pursuit (Franklin chased him last offseason), contract buzz, and potential staff additions like Rob Ryan. The offseason heats up as the NCAA's new singular winter transfer portal window officially opens this Friday, January 2, 2026, running through January 16! With the spring window eliminated starting this cycle, this 15-day frenzy is make-or-break for roster building. Our hosts preview PSU's strategy under Campbell: Targeting QBs, OL reinforcements, and defensive depth to fill gaps from graduations and NFL declarations. We discuss early announcements (players can signal intent now), NIL implications, and rivals' moves. Cory warns of potential outgoing transfers like underutilized backups, while Shawn spotlights portal gems that could flip the script for 2026. You asked, we deliver! In our extended mailbag, we tackle your top queries from social media and email – What does Lynn's hire mean for the scheme? Who's PSU's top portal target? Bowl MVP debates? And more.

AAPF (10/25) This week on CounterSpin: After every police killing of a Black person, every announced policy singling out Black immigrants as the cause of crime and disorder, every declaration, like that from Arlington National Cemetery, that as of now materials on Black and female service people will be scrubbed from the website—we hear from corporate media about how, boy, this country is for sure “reckoning” with “racism.” But then: If we reckoned with racism every time elite media claimed this country was “reckoning” with racism, seems like we ought to be fully “reckoned” by now. US corporate media have a white supremacy problem (and you see how that term lands differently than “racism”): They decide who they think, and hence you should think, is worth talking to, based on an accepted conflation of power with worthiness. They decide whose ideas are taken for granted and whose deemed marginal, and they tell us how to define progress: Is it moving toward actual equity, or just things quietening down? Who needs to be reassured, and whose lives is it OK to disrupt, whose basic humanity is it OK to question, day after day after day? A new report titled Anti-Blackness Is the Point, from the African American Policy Forum, engages this age-old if ever-morphing narrative. Kimberle Crenshaw is a leading legal scholar and justice advocate, the force behind the transformative ideas of intersectionality and critical race theory. She's co-founder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum, as well as a professor of law at both Columbia and UCLA.

Springer recounts his start as a young pianist, his time in the Brill Building, and his early career in the Army playing with Tony Bennett for fellow GIs. He tells the story of writing "Santa Baby" with Joan Javits, the song's controversial reception, and how its popularity resurged after Madonna's 1987 cover. The conversation also covers Springer's work with major artists like Eartha Kitt, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and Cliff Richard, his ability to adapt during the rock revolution, and later pioneering work in electronic music and synthesizers, including teaching at UCLA.

    Long before World War II, the U.S. forced Native Americans onto reservations. After the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941, the U.S. forced Japanese Americans into camps. In Arizona, the federal government once again looked to Indian reservations. In part two of his series on World War II internment camps in Arizona, KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. None of the eight other internment camps in the U.S. were on tribal lands, so why here in Arizona? UCLA anthropology professor Koji Lau-Ozawa has an answer. “John Collier, who was the commissioner of Indian Affairs at the time, advocated for all of the camps to be put on reservation lands. He thought that the Office of Indian Affairs was well suited to this task of managing these confined racialized populations.” The “Indian New Deal”, as FDR called it, was part of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and tried making amends for past treatment by investing in tribal infrastructure. That was, until the war effort began. “Funds were starting to dry up. This presented an opportunity.” An opportunity to turn Japanese Americans into a source of prison labor to develop tribal resources, as shown by a 1943 propaganda film narrated by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's brother, Milton, about an internment camp in western Arizona. Brian Niiya says the U.S. embraced a stereotype. “Japanese Americans, with their supposed expertise and farming and agriculture, could help build up the land that would allow for the Native Americans to benefit from – without the consent of the tribes themselves, of course.” Niiya is editor of Densho Encyclopedia, which chronicles the camps' history. Without much legal representation or political clout at that time, the Gila River Indian Community and Colorado River Indian Tribes both tried fighting camp construction, but failed. “Through the Office of Indian Affairs, I think there was just a thought that we could bulldoze our way through.” Once again, today's federal government is butting up against tribal land. The Trump administration's “Alligator Alcatraz” is being built near the Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. “We're right in the middle of it. We have members that live within 500 feet of the detention center. You know, it's not like this distant thing that it is for a lot of Floridians in Naples or Miami.” Talbert Cypress is chairman of the 600-member Miccosukee Tribe, which brought Alligator Alcatraz to a halt. “We don't go to war anymore with the tomahawk or anything like that. You know, we go to courtrooms now, and we go to meetings with politicians.” (Photo courtesy Maxpixel / Boise City Archives, John Hardy Family Collection, MS084) Children across the country are being raised by relatives or close family friends. The Mountain West News Bureau's Daniel Spaulding has more on a new report highlighting the challenges facing these kinship families, which are more common within Indigenous communities. According to the U.S. Government of Accountability Office (GAO), these households are more likely to experience poverty and mental health issues. Kinship families are common in Mountain West states with high Indigenous populations like New Mexico and Arizona. Kathy Larin at GAO says kin caregiving is an important part of tribal culture, but because many Indigenous caregivers are outside the formal foster care system, they often receive less financial support. “One of the biggest challenges that we heard across the board for grandparents and other relatives that are raising, you know, their relative children is just the financial burden of it.” Larin says states could adopt standards and programs designed to better support kinship families.

    Welcome back to the College Essay Guy Podcast. Today's episode is hosted by Tom Campbell, Community Manager & Senior Essay Specialist at College Essay Guy and a former admission officer at Pomona College and Holy Cross. We've polled the thousands of students who participate in our live webinars and courses and ask what they're favorite subject is, and consistently, STEM reigns supreme. By a lot. In this episode, Tom sits down with Jay Zhang, college counselor at College Essay Guy, to dig into the biggest questions students and families have about preparing for and applying to STEM programs. Together, they explore: What students should know about STEM coursework, rigor, and testing—and where there's more flexibility than most people realize How to think about majors, specialization, and which colleges to consider beyond the usual short list Common STEM student archetypes, including late starters, students unsure which direction to take, those in high-pressure STEM "bubbles," and students worried that elite summer programs are the only path forward And more.  Jay Zhang holds a B.S. in Microbiology from UCLA and an M.A. in School Counseling from NYU, and he's spent over a decade helping STEM students navigate selective admissions—especially within the UC system. He's also a former UCLA scholarship reader and interviewer, so he's seen exactly what works. Jay brings a strength-based, big-picture approach to STEM planning—and when he's not counseling students, you'll probably find him hiking at Crystal Cove or driving all the way from Orange County to LA for his haircut (hey, clearly, this is a man who knows his priorities). We hope you enjoy the episode.    Play-by-Play: 2:14 – What are some early memories of Jay and Tom learning STEM in school?  5:44 – Jay shares his background and where he grew up   7:55 – What are some high school courses that students interested in STEM could plan to take?  11:33 – What should STEM students know about standardized testing? 14:33 – How can students better understand different STEM pathways and majors?  17:55 – What are some lesser-known colleges or programs that students could explore?  24:03 – What are some strategies for broadening a student's college list? 30:01 – How can students balance prestige with selectivity and other factors that are important to them in finding the right fit? 32:46 – How can students explore diverse interests in STEM? 38:52 – What can high school juniors and seniors  do to show interest in STEM if they're just getting started? 46:11 – What helps students in competitive STEM "bubbles" move beyond comparison culture? 50:26 – How can students build on personal experiences that spark their interest in STEM? 53:30 – How important are prestigious summer programs for students interested in STEM? 59:25 – Closing thoughts   Resources: Firestarter Exercise What is STEM?

    What does it take to market movies that shape culture—and to lead with integrity when the stakes are highest? In this Best Of Trailer Geeks & Teaser Gods episode, Corey Nathan revisits his powerful conversation with Dwight Caines, President of Domestic Marketing at Universal Pictures and one of the most respected voices in modern film marketing. One of our "best of's" since we brought this program back, this episode remains as relevant—and resonant—as ever. Dwight reflects on a career spanning Sony Pictures and Universal, working on iconic franchises including Spider-Man, James Bond, Oppenheimer, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. But this conversation goes far beyond campaigns and box office numbers. Dwight opens up about leadership, mentorship, diversity and inclusion, the responsibility of storytellers, and what it means to be a steady presence in moments of industry—and societal—turbulence. It's a masterclass in how great marketing starts with understanding people. Whether you're a trailer creative, studio exec, marketer, or emerging storyteller, this episode is a reminder that how you lead matters just as much as what you ship. Key Takeaways Story Starts With Audience Dwight explains why every campaign begins with a deep understanding of who the movie is for—and what emotional response it needs to evoke to get audiences off the couch and into theaters. From Data to Instinct With roots in market research, Dwight shares how the best campaigns balance data with gut, and why "research be damned" can sometimes be the bravest—and smartest—call. Digital Before It Was Cool As an early digital pioneer at Sony, Dwight recounts building online communities around films like Spider-Man long before digital marketing was standard practice. Leadership in Crisis Dwight reflects on moments when the industry—and the country—felt unsteady, and why authenticity, calm, and moral clarity are essential leadership traits. Mentorship & Representation From teaching at Syracuse and UCLA to shaping DEI initiatives at Universal and the Academy, Dwight makes the case that representation isn't performative—it's foundational to better work and better culture. Notable Quotes "If you see me running for the emergency exit, then trouble's coming. Otherwise, take it as a good sign." "Marketing is about evoking emotion. If you don't know what you want people to feel, the campaign won't land." "If you see it, you can be it. I didn't see myself in front of the classroom—so I decided to become that person." "Diversity isn't invitation. It's allowing people to show up authentically and be heard."

    Send us a textThis week, I'm joined by Bob Alejo—one of the true pioneers of modern athletic performance.With more than 40 years in the field, Bob's career spans NCAA Division I athletics, Major League Baseball, and the Olympic Games. He has worked at institutions such as UCLA, North Carolina State, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal State Northridge, and spent time with the Oakland A's during the Moneyball era, and later again in the mid-2000s. Along the way, he's been associated with over 20 NCAA National Championships, MLB postseason success, and a U.S. Olympic gold medal at the Beijing Games, with continued involvement through London in 2012.In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the evolution of strength and conditioning, the importance of understanding sport culture—not just sport science—and how trust, adaptability, and mentorship shape long-term success. Bob reflects on lessons learned from elite athletes and coaches, his experiences navigating major shifts in professional sport, and the responsibility coaches carry beyond performance outcomes.The episode also moves into deeply human territory, as Bob shares powerful reflections on fatherhood, leadership, and a meaningful experience supporting New York firefighters and their families in the aftermath of 9/11.This is a thoughtful conversation about legacy, service, and what it truly means to leave your mark—both in sport and in life. If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.

    Happy holidays—and I hope you enjoyed the first round of the College Football Playoff.With Christmas approaching and another college football season sliding toward its next chapter, Jim Mora is beginning one of his own.The new head coach at Colorado State joined the Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, to share the why behind his decision to lead CSU in the reborn Pac-12.What struck me most in our conversation wasn't the résumé—NFL head coach, UCLA head coach, program rebuilder at Connecticut, mentor to generations—not even our long friendship.It was the choice.The decision to take on something unfinished. To step into uncertainty. To begin again—not because he had to, but because he wanted to.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Jim Mora has lived inside football his entire life. Not as a job, but as an inheritance. A family calling that shaped him as a coach, a son, a father, a husband, and a leader. From the Pac-8 days of his father's career, to playing in the Pac-10, to coaching in the Pac-12, his journey mirrors the evolution of the sport itself.Which is why this moment matters.Colorado State isn't a nostalgia play.It's a belief play.Jim is stepping into a re-imagined Pac-12. Into a conference finding its footing again. Into a program searching for identity and traction in a version of college football none of us could have fully imagined five years ago.NIL.The portal.Revenue sharing.An expanded College Football Playoff.Realignment.For some, that landscape feels overwhelming.For Jim Mora, it feels familiar.He sees today's college football ecosystem as closer to the NFL than ever before. The portal functions like free agency. Recruiting resembles a draft. Financial realities echo a salary cap. The guardrails may differ, but the principles remain the same: roster construction, culture, alignment, and adaptability.That word—adaptability—came up again and again.You have to have a plan.You have to believe in fundamentals.You have to hold standards.And you also have to be willing to adjust—often daily—without losing your core.Coach Mora learned that from some of the greatest to ever do it: Hall of Fame coaches and executives who shaped how he views leadership, decision-making, and sustained excellence.But none of it works without people.Coach Mora has always been clear about that.Building programs. Scaling mountains. Taking on challenges without guarantees. College football continues to pull him in because of the impact—the opportunity to shape young people during some of the most formative years of their lives. To teach lessons not only through success, but through failure. To help players grow into men, not commodities.That perspective matters now more than ever.The mountain ahead is clear.A new program.A re-imagined conference.A legitimate—though demanding—path toward competing on the sport's biggest stages.And a daily commitment to do the work required to turn ambition into reality.Jim Mora isn't chasing legacy.He isn't chasing comfort.He's chasing alignment with the work.And maybe that's the clearest lesson of all.After all this time, he finally feels like he knows what he's doing—even as he embraces the truth that the climb never ends.I think you'll enjoy this conversation as we all head into the holiday season, hopefully with a little time off, a good hike, or a fun surf.On behalf of all of us at Y-Option, thank you for your love, support, and community.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

She also leads the Vintage Writers, a lively weekly Zoom group of women authors over 70. Joining her is Roselyn Teukolsky, a former math and computer science educator who retired and now writes fiction.

Kim Gottlieb-Walker and Roselyn Teukolsky join us from California. _________________________ Planning for retirement? Check out our recommended Best Books for Retirement _________________________ Bios Kim Gottlieb-Walker's  career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. Now in her late 70s, she has reinvented herself as a novelist. While still at UCLA (where she  received a BA in Motion Picture production) and shortly thereafter, she shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World. She  also shot the stills for John Carpenter's Halloween, The Fog, Christine and Escape from New York and worked at Paramount Pictures for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers, and five years for Family Ties. For three decades she  was an elected representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild. Her coffee-table photo books Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae and On Set with John Carpenter were published by Titan Press (UK) distributed by Random House (USA) and both are now in multiple printing. They have editions in Japanese, Russian and French. She's  had gallery shows in London, Los Angeles and New York. Her novels are  Lenswoman in Love – a novel of the 1960s & ‘70s (her debut) and the not-yet published historical novel Caterina by Moonlight, about a girl growing up in renaissance Florence in the late 15th century. Her short story “Summer of Love – 1967” appears in the multi-award-winning anthology Feisty Deeds. Former math and computer science teacher, Roselyn Teukolsky, is the author of A Reluctant Spy, an unconventional spy thriller, and The Fourth Woman, a cautionary tale about online dating. Teukolsky has long been intrigued by the dilemmas faced by smart women in male-dominated settings. Working as a computer science teacher has given her the familiarity to create an authentic female protagonist, a brilliant computer scientist, who, in the latest novel, must ward off a ransomware attack and an online-dating predator. Teukolsky has a B.Sc. in Math and Chemistry from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and an M.S. in Math Education from Cornell. She is the author of the Barron's review book for AP Computer Science, which is currently in its 12th edition. Roselyn's favorite pastime is tournament bridge. She wrote How to Play Bridge with Your Spouse … and Survive (Master Point Press) in 2002. She lives in Pasadena, CA, with her husband, Saul Teukolsky. ________________________ Have a Question You’d Like Answered on the Podcast?

And it keeps your brain alive. There’s so much you have to learn with the learning curve of writing a book that it keeps your brain cells going. It stimulates them. I think there are many people out there who, after having had very active careers that are now retired and are feeling at lost ends. Every person has met interesting people during their lives, has had things happen to them, have had tragedies, have had happiness. Everybody has experiences in them that they might want to communicate. And writing, even though it seems like a very solitary occupation, it gives you a chance to put all of your life experience out into the world and to then connect with other people, other writers, to get the support that you need and to learn all of the different aspects of it. So it’s a very satisfying way to spend your retirement. Oh, well, it’s an amazing group of women. They’re all over 70. They’ve all reinvented themselves as writers. Some were writers beforehand, but most have reinvented themselves. And they cover all different kinds of writing of every genre. There’s self-help, there’s romance, there’s mystery, there’s historical fiction, and they’re all very talented, alert, wonderful women. And we meet every Tuesday on Zoom and commiserate and celebrate and give advice. And it has been the most wonderful support group. So we’re not isolated in retirement. We have interactions with people who have similar goals and similar challenges. It’s a tremendous support group.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Age as an Asset ” It is never too late to reinvent yourself. It’s totally within your reach. You don’t have to depend on anyone else. All you have to do is sit down and let your ideas flow. And I wouldn’t worry about ageism because now that we’re in an age where you can self-publish, it doesn’t matter how old you are. And the fact that we have had such rich lives and so many experiences informs the writing and gives the writing depth and gives it reality because it’s based on our real experiences. No matter what you’re writing, you’re bringing your life experiences into it, which is incredibly valuable. So don’t worry about ageism. Don’t worry about the publisher. Just get it out on paper. Do it yourself.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Starting to Write “A lot of my friends have said to me, Oh, they would love to write a book. They would love to write a book. They’re going to write a book. But the point is, if you don’t sit down every day at the same time, backside in the desk, it doesn’t happen. It just doesn’t. Even if you sit and do nothing. I would ask, what are you going to do in the next 10 years? And I say, I don’t know what I’m going to do. And I say, Well, why not write in the next 10 years?” – Roselyn Teukolsky

    The microbiome is back! In 2018, we chatted with Dr. Elaine Hsiao - a UCLA microbiome researcher– and learned all about the hot cauldron of your guts. In this 2025 update bonus, we chat again with Dr. Hsiao to get updates on the last 7 years of her research. We also stop by White Plains, New York to hang out with Dr. Miguel Freitas, lead nutritional microbiologist and director of the non-profit Danone Institute North America, and ask a million questions about good vs bad microbiota, how they simulate a human gut in a lab, what exactly is a pre-biotic vs. probiotic, why are they such good friends, how diet can impact not only your gut health but also your heart and your brain — and if friendly yogurt critters are robust enough to make the journey from your mouth to your toilet.  Browse Dr. Freitas's publications on ResearchGateVisit the Hsiao Lab at UCLA and follow Dr. Hsiao on Google ScholarDonations went to GiveDirectly.org/ologies and the Los Angeles Regional Food BankMore episode sources and linksOther episodes you may enjoy: Microbiology (GUT BIOME), Molecular Neurobiology (BRAIN CHEMICALS), Fromology (CHEESE), Scatology (POOP), Gustology (TASTE), Cardiology (THE HEART)400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topicSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesSponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on Instagram and BlueskyFollow Alie Ward on Instagram and TikTokEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions, Jake Chaffee, and Jarrett Sleeper of Mindjam MediaManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
