If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Dan Coyle is a New York Times bestselling author who's spent the last two decades studying what makes great teams great. He wrote The Talent Code, The Culture Code, and now Flourish—books that have shaped how millions of people think about skill development, team culture, and meaningful connection. He works with the Cleveland Guardians as a special advisor on culture and performance. We recorded this one together in Cleveland. Notes: Find your yellow doors. Most of us go through life looking for green doors (clearly open paths) and red doors (obviously closed paths). But yellow doors are different. They're out of the corner of your eye, things that make you uncomfortable or feel brand new. That's where life actually happens. We think life is a straight line from A to B to C, but it's not. Life isn't a game... It's complex, living, shifting. Yellow doors are opportunities to create meaningful connections and explore new paths. "Life deepens when we become aware of the yellow doors, the ones we glimpse out of the corner of our eye." The craft journey always involves getting simpler. Simple is not easy. The great ones have their craft to where there's a simplicity to it. In this world of clutter and noise, it's easy to want to compete with energy and speed, but the stuff that really resonates is quieter and simpler. Be a beginner again in something. With climbing, Dan's at the very bottom of the craft mountain. With writing, he's somewhere in the middle. It's fun to have a couple of zones in your life where you're a beginner. It's liberating, but it also develops empathy. Some stuff looks very simple, but isn't. Every good story has three elements. There's some desire (I want to get somewhere), there's some obstacle (this thing standing in my way), and there's some transformation on that journey. Teaching teaches you. Coaching Zoe's writing team helped Dan, and then Zoe ended up coaching Dan. It was never "let me transmit all my wisdom to my daughter." It was a rich two-way dialogue that helped both of them. Suffering together is powerful. Doing hard things together with other people, untangling things together (literally and figuratively), and being vulnerable together. That's culture code stuff. Whether it's skiing with your kids, seeing them fall and get back up, or being trapped underground like the Chilean miners. Behind every individual success is a community. Dan dedicates all his books to his wife, Jenny (except one). Growing up, he had this idea of individual success, individual greatness. But when you scratch one of those individual stories, what's revealed is a community of people. Jenny is the ecosystem that lets Dan do what he does. Going from writing project to writing project, hoping stuff works out, exploring... it's not efficient. It's not getting on the train to work and coming home at five o'clock. It's "I think I need to go to Russia" or "I need to dig into this." She's been more than a partner, an incredible teammate.  Great organizations aren't machines; they're rivers. The old model of leadership is the pilot of the boat, the person flipping levers who has all the answers. That's how most of us grew up thinking about leaders. But Indiana football, the SEALs, Pixar... when you get close to these organizations, they're not functioning like machines. Machines are controlled from the outside and produce predictable results. These organizations are more like energy channels that are exploring. They're like rivers. How do you make a river flow? Give it a horizon to flow toward (where are we going?), set up river banks (where we're not gonna go), but inside that space create energy and agency. Questions do that. Leaders who are good at lobbing questions in and then closing their mouth... that's the most powerful skill. Great teams have peer leaders who sacrifice. Since Indiana football's fresh in our minds... Peer leaders who sacrifice for the team are really big. Fernando Mendoza got smoked, battered, hammered, and he kept going without complaint. In his interview afterward, he talks about his teammates. That's the DNA of great teams. Adversity reveals everything. The litmus test: in moments of terrible adversity, what's the instinct? Are we turning toward each other or away from each other? You could see it in that game. The contrast between the two teams. When things went bad, they responded very differently. The coach isn't as important as you think. Coaches can create the conditions for the team to emerge, but great teams sometimes pit themselves against the coach. The US Olympic hockey team of 1980 would be an example. They came together against Herb Brooks. So coaching sets the tone, but it's not as big a part of DNA as people think. Curiosity keeps great teams from drinking their own Kool-Aid. The teams that consistently succeed don't get gassed up on their own stuff. They don't believe in their success. They're not buying into "now I'm at the top of the mountain, everything's fine." They get curious about that next mountain, curious about each other, curious about the situation. They're willing to let go of stuff that didn't work. Honor the departed. When someone gets traded in pro sports, it's like death. Their locker's empty like a gravestone. What the coach at OKC does: on the day after somebody gets traded, he spends a minute of practice expressing his appreciation for that person who's gone. How simple and human is that? How powerful? What makes people flourish is community. It's not a bunch of individuals that are individually together. Can they connect? Can they love their neighbor and support their neighbor? That's magical when it happens. The Chilean miners created civilization through rituals. 33 men, 2,000 feet underground, trapped for 69 days. The first couple hours went as bad as it could. People eating all the food, scrambling, yelling. Then they circled up and paused. The boss took off his helmet and said, "There are no bosses and no employees. We're all one here." Their attention shifted from terror and survival to the larger connection they had with each other. They self-organized. Built sleeping areas, rationed food, created games with limited light. Each meal they'd share a flake of tuna at the same time. When they got contact with the surface, they sang the Chilean national anthem together. They created a little model civilization that functioned incredibly well. Stopping and looking creates community. What let the miners flourish wasn't information or analysis. It was letting go. Having this moment of meaning, creating presence. All the groups Dan visited had this ability in all the busyness to stop and ask: What are we really about? What matters here? What is our community? Why are we here? What is bigger than us that we're connected to? They grounded themselves in those moments over and over. Getting smart only gets you so far. There's a myth in our culture that individuals can flourish. You see someone successful and think "that individual's flourishing." But underneath them, invisibly, they're part of a larger community. We only become our best through other people. We have a pronoun problem: I, me, when actually it's we and us. Self-improvement isn't as powerful as shared improvement. Ask energizing questions. "What's energizing you right now?" is a great question. "What do you want more of?" "What do you want to do differently?" (not "what are you doing poorly"). "Paint a picture five years from now, things go great, give me an average Tuesday." What you're trying to do is get people out of their narrow boredom, let go a little, surrender a little, open up and point out things in the corner of their eye. When things go rough, go help somebody. Craig Counsell on how to bounce back when you're having a bad day: "I try to go help somebody." That's it. Create presence conditions. The ski trips, the long drives, the shared meals, no phones. Schedule them. This is how connection happens, whether it's with your family or your people at work. Leaders who sustain excellence are intensely curious. Dan walked into the Guardians office expecting to pepper them with questions. The opposite happened. Jay, Chris, and Josh kept asking him question after question, wanting to learn. Leaders who sustain excellence have this desire to learn, improve, get better. Ask better questions. Actually listen. Ask follow-up questions. Curiosity is also the ultimate way to show love. Reflection Questions Dan says yellow doors are "out of the corner of your eye, things that make you uncomfortable or feel brand new." What's one yellow door you've been walking past lately? What's stopping you from opening it this week?The Chilean miners' boss took off his white helmet and said, "There are no bosses and no employees." Think about a moment of adversity your team is facing right now. Are you turning toward each other or away? What's one specific action you could take this week to help your team turn toward each other? Dan emphasizes we have a "pronoun problem" (I, me vs. we, us) and that "self-improvement isn't as powerful as shared improvement." Who are the 2-3 people you could invite into your growth journey right now? What would it look like to pursue excellence together instead of alone?

“THIS IS YOUR TIME.“Hello everyone, we hope 2026 has been treating you well. We apologize for the lack of updates, its difficult to schedule time and be in the right mental space for regularly releasing episodes. We hope to keep doing them, as watching and talking about movies helps keep us sane and grounded against the insanity of the world. Movies might be make believe, but the stories they tell come from real people. Through the language of cinema we are made to feel real emotions. By sharing our favorite movies with one another we are sharing perspectives, values and interests. We are building community, which is vital for the times we live in and the times ahead. This podcast started because two guys shared interest in a movie after all, and through recording and releasing episodes we have gotten incredible movie suggestions from listeners. Movies that we have never heard of or have just never given a second thought. The podcast has expanded our palette, introduced us to different cultures, history and appreciation for the art of movies and those that make them. We can't stop yet. For this episode, we took a suggestion from fighting game prodigy BobaTeamo, and talk about 2004's Miracle, directed by Gavin O'Conner and starring Kurt Russel. This Disney film is based on the true story of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team, and their David and Goliath-type game against the dominant Soviet Olympic team. Coincidentally, also takes place during a period when it just feels bad being an American. Miracle is a period piece set during the Cold War and Oil Crisis of 1979. The rising tensions with the Soviets, dire financial situation for the working class, and general L's America is taking are only relieved when on the ice. And even on the ice, our characters are put to the test with Kurt Russel's Herb Brooks's extreme coaching style, that gives the US Olympic council, his own staff, and family pause. We talk about how the political backdrop and post 9/11 nationalism of the early 2000's play a role in our reaction to the film today, and also how the message of comradery and reliance of teammates who care about you seemingly undermine the rugged individualistic messages of typical American propaganda. When it comes to sports movies, we often think of them as formulaic and readily accept the two different endings. They lose, but spiritually win, or they win and all the hard work and sacrifice is rewarded. However, some movies are more than just cliches and predictable endings. These reductive analysis do not take into consideration the craft of film making, and the acute attention to detail of capturing what it feels like to play a certain sport. Not all movies are terribly concerned about accuracy and making you feel like you are in the game, but that's what makes Miracle special. On this episode, we get into the lengths Gavin O'Conner and his crew went to to capture the essence of hockey. Heated Rivalry might have our hearts now, but Miracle was regarded as the greatest hockey movie ever made. After watching it for the episode and doing a bit of reading on how it was made, it's no surprise why.You can listen to this episode ANYWHERE you get your podcasts!

Another cold one in the dairy state. In the news this morning, an update on former Nickelodeon star Tylor Chase, the latest on the deadly plane crash in Maine, recently arrested Ryan Wedding appears in court, and Yuengling Beer is back in WI! In sports, the Bucks take on the 76ers tonight, an update on Giannis' injury, the Badger men's basketball team faces Minnesota tomorrow night, Shedeur Sanders is going to the Pro Bowl, and Philip Rivers withdraws from the Bills' head coaching search. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we also looked at the new Netflix documentary on the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. Great story about a group of high school kids who fix old cars and donate them to single moms. And check out this cat that walked 155 miles to get back home after going missing. Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports show joined us to talk about his reaction to the AFC & NFC Championship games, and his thoughts on the Freddy Peralta trade. Have you seen this museum of personal failures? All sorts of interesting stuff on display. An online debate is raging right now about a couple that hid a bunch of rubber ducks around their house to test a cleaning service. Elsewhere in sports, is there a new conspiracy in the NFL? And a family is suing Aramark & the Houston Texans. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a new law going into effect in South Carolina that could fine you for having too much trash in your vehicle, a #FloridaWoman who poured bleach in her roommate's pasta dish, a guy who shot at a snowplow driver, a dude who stole $400,000 worth of smart toilets, and another dude who farted on some cops while getting arrested.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During an NCAA women's swimming championship in March 2022, two seniors tied for fifth place. The race was unremarkable except for one fact: One of the swimmers, Lia Thomas, was a transgender woman. The swimmer she tied with, Riley Gaines, believed the NCAA never should have allowed her to participate.The matchup, and Gaines' subsequent transformation into a leading anti-trans activist, has fueled a growing movement to “save women's sports” from trans women—and a conservative crusade against trans rights more broadly. This week on Reveal, we examine Gaines' rise and radicalization, as her rhetoric shifts from calling out NCAA policy to calling trans women  sexual predators.Over the last year, the anti-trans movement has reached a tipping point. Trans girls are banned from girls' school sports in the majority of states. The NCAA and US Olympic and Paralympic committees have banned trans women from women's competitions. The Supreme Court is currently considering the issue, too.Then we dive into the science to understand how gender-affirming hormone therapy affects trans women's performance—and what questions science still has not answered around fairness in women's sports.Finally, we return to the swimming pool, as reporter Imogen Sayers speaks with Meghan Cortez-Fields, one of the last transgender swimmers to compete as a woman in the NCAA.

Carsten Vissering was an absolute force during his time in the pool. Breaking national high school and age records as a teenager, he went on to swim for the University of Southern California in college. As a Trojan, Vissering won an NCAA title in 2018 as a part of the 200 medley relay and 2 Pac-12 Titles. Once Vissering walked away from swimming, though, he wasn't done with elite sport. After aquatic retirement, Vissering still wanted to compete and ended up stumbling into bobsledding in 2022. He made the US national team and worked his way up the ranks until, earlier this month, he qualified for the 2026 US Olympic team. Vissering will compete next month in Milan Cortina dawning the Red, White, and Blue. SwimSwam sat down with the now winter athlete to discuss what training, competition, and the mental side of bobsledding is all about. Vissering details the nuances and hardships of the sport. He also tells his personal side of the story, sharing his drive to still compete, the will to learn and grow in a new sport, and the balance it takes to be a full-time athlete and work at a Big Four consulting firm.

TSN Hockey Insiders Darren Dreger and Pierre LeBrun joined to discuss the headlines around the league, the Maple Leafs looking to bolster the blue line, Dougie Hamilton on the radar, trades leading up to the Olympics, if Lane Hutson should make the US Olympic team and more.

Imagine traveling down a sheet of ice at 90mph when your bobsled flips over and you slam your head into the ice wall. Meet William Person, 9 year member of the US Olympic bobsledding team. Join us as he shares his journey from college track and field, mental health advocate, member of the US Olympic bobsledding team to brain injury survivor and advocate. He saw first hand how untreated brain injuries devastate not only athletes but also military veterans and their families. William spent years in agony due to his repeated concussions. He only found relief when he began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His message is simple, “If your loved one is doing something that's out of the norm, get them checked out!” Individuals with CTEs do not see how their behavior impacts those around them. Loved ones do. Guest Social Media Info - https://www.instagram.com/willp1234567?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr#https://www.facebook.com/william.person.792233/ https://www.facebook.com/one.man.with.a.chamber.hbot Send us a textSupport the showYou can find this episode's transcript here.New episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

On this episode of the pregnantish podcast, we sit down with U.S. sprinter, Olympic 2024 Bronze Medalist and Athlos Champion, Brittany Brown, for an honest conversation about what it means to go the distance when your body is both your instrument and your battleground.Brittany shares her unconventional path to the Olympic podium—and how that journey led her to speak openly about the realities women, especially Black women, face in medicine and in sport.At the heart of this episode is Brittany's experience living with endometriosis: years of debilitating pelvic pain, medical dismissal, and the long road to diagnosis. She opens up about realizing something wasn't normal, the dead ends she hit searching for answers, and the alarming medical advice she received before finally being diagnosed in 2023 through the USOPC network. She also reflects on the emotional journey that followed- the relief at being validated, paired with difficult questions about fertility, egg freezing, timing, and access, even as an elite athlete in the middle of a competitive season.Perhaps most powerful is Brittany's honesty about the risk of telling the truth publicly. In a world where contracts, sponsorships, and perception matter, she shares the very real fear of disclosure and the unexpected reward: connection, community, and a flood of women and athletes also navigating infertility diagnoses. Presented by Tru Niagen, the episode also features a special mid-roll conversation with Dr. Yasmeen Nkrumah-Elie, Global Director of External Research at Niagen Bioscience, exploring mitochondrial health, NAD+, inflammation, and why cellular energy matters for both athletic performance and reproductive health.

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps, the Olympic swimming legend, ignited fresh controversy on Christmas Eve with a pointed Instagram post slamming USA Swimmings new training policy, according to EssentiallySports. The policy, announced by CEO Kevin Ring, bars international athletes from US Olympic and Paralympic facilities during the 2028 Olympic year, prompting Phelps to question, What are our goals? I thrived training all athletes, never discriminated. He argued it stifles the competitive edge that fueled his 28 medals, echoing fan backlash over lost revenue and Olympic inclusivity. This marks a new turn in his ongoing crusade against USA Swimming leadership, following a letter he co-signed earlier this year and sharp critiques at the 2025 World Championships, where US men faltered badly. Phelps laid blame squarely on systemic failures, not athletes, noting Team USAs medal share dropped from 57 percent in Rio to 44 percent in Paris. As a dad to four boys, he confessed the sports state pains him so much hed hesitate to let them compete at elite levels.On a brighter note, Sports Illustrated crowned Phelps with the prestigious 2025 Muhammad Ali Legacy Award for his mental health advocacy, spotlighting a decade of vulnerability since his raw 2015 SI cover story. The honor, part of SIs Sportsperson of the Year gala in Las Vegas on January 6, celebrates his global talksfrom India pre-Thanksgiving to Australiaand everyday impacts, like grocery store hugs from fans crediting him with saving lives. He shared recent emotional lows around holidays but praised family tools like lion's breath yoga.Earlier, Phelps keynoted the Equipment Leasing and Finance Associations 64th Annual Convention on Marco Island, Florida, delivering inspiring insights amid buzzworthy sessions, as ELFA Magazine recapped.

On today's show, host Ali Muldrow speaks with Dionne Koller about her new book, More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport. As a former athlete who signed her kids up for youth sports, Koller says she wrote the book to make the experience of youth sports more acceptable and accessible. Koller says that physical and emotional abuse are issues across sports, not just in the high-profile abuses in women's gymnastics. That's because hierarchies fuel our current approach to youth sports, hierarchies like parent-child and coach-athlete relationships. In both instances, kids aren't given rights. And this is a very American problem, as the US is the only nation not to sign on to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.  Our youth sports culture has internalized the idea that being yelled at and playing through pain are good for “character development,” despite all data to the contrary. And kids are harmed when their parents and other adults get swept up in the positive and negative emotions that come from competitive play. Koller says that we've given sports sponsors and coaches both social and policy gatekeeping authority and there's not enough regulation when it comes to youth sports.  We should have some minimum safety standards for youth sports, like coach background checks and other health standards. She observes that legislators are trying really hard all of a sudden to keep trans girls out of youth sports; meanwhile these same legislators aren't supporting the enforcement of Title IX regulations.  And they also discuss the emphasis on winning at all costs, the rise of youth sports gambling and AAU sports, the nefarious history of the term “student-athlete,” and how overtraining kids leads to preventable injuries. Koller wants to imagine sports as an equalizer, as athleticism has been a vehicle for upward mobility in the Black community. She says there's a lot more romance we can get out of youth sports, we just have to open doors and make youth sports more accessible.  Dionne Koller is Director of the Center for Sport and the Law at the University of Baltimore, where she also serves as a law professor. In 2021, she was appointed to co-chair the Commission on the State of US Olympic and Paralympics. She also has served as chair and a member of the executive board for the Sports Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), is a member of the United States Anti-Doping Agency's Administrative Review Panel, and serves on the editorial board for the International Sports Law Journal. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Koller was awarded the AALS 2024 award for significant contributions to the field of sports law.

Confronting the universal internal battle against "resistance" - the invisible force of procrastination, fear, and self-doubt that stops us from doing our most important work - McKay draws upon the powerful distinction between an "amateur" and a "pro” to argue that we can consciously decide to adopt a professional mindset in any area of our lives. This decision, he notes, is not about a title or a paycheck; it's an act of will that transforms our approach to challenges, failures, and our ultimate potential.Opening the episode with the core lesson from Steven Pressfield's book The War of Art - the hardest part of any task is simply starting - McKay then illustrates the professional mindset through a series of compelling stories. Listeners hear about Kobe Bryant's legendary work ethic that reset the culture of the 2012 US Olympic basketball team; Captain Tammie Jo Shults' incredible composure while landing a crippled Southwest jet; and astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell's steadfast focus on her work, even after being overlooked for a Nobel Prize. The episode culminates with the idea that, like the Apostle Peter, even when we fail, we can "decide again" to be a pro, recommitting to our purpose with even greater strength.Main Themes:The greatest obstacle to achieving our goals is an internal force called "resistance," which manifests as procrastination and fear.An amateur works when they feel inspired, but a professional does the work regardless of their mood, the circumstances, or their fear."Turning pro" is a conscious decision - an act of will to show up and do the work, especially when it's hard.True professionals don't dwell on mistakes; they learn from them and immediately focus on the "next play."A pro is defined by their commitment to their purpose, not by external validation, credit, or praise.Even after a setback, you can always choose to recommit and be "twice born" into your professional mindset, emerging stronger than before.Top 10 Quotes:“It's not the writing part that's hard. What's hard is the sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down is resistance.”“That's the price for being in the arena and not on the sidelines. Stop complaining and be grateful.”“Pros do the work regardless of how they feel.”“You can't win the next play by thinking about the last one.”“We make up our minds to view ourselves as pros and we do it. Simple as that.”“Pros don't get overly excited, emotional, or moved off their professional approach.”“Every day that you sit around trying to figure out what to do, someone else is already doing it.”“This time, having decided twice, he is stronger than ever.”“You can choose to be a pro again.”Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

I'm delighted to welcome Dr Erin Ayala to the podcast this week.Erin is a Licensed Psychologist, a certified Mental Performance Consultant and is listed as a licensed mental health provider on the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee's Mental Health Register. What I love about Erin's perspective is that it's holistic: she recognises that daily life, health and athletic performance are intertwined and inseparable from one another.When she's not at work, Erin is also an endurance athlete (having completed 9 marathons and 1 Ironman) and these days is focused on life as an elite cyclist. On top of that, she recently co-founded a cycling team called Stamina Racing Collective which prioritises people who would traditionally struggle to find a home in cycling (especially, black, indigenous, people of colour and non-binary and trans athletes)In this conversation, we discuss the power of values, the difficult decisions she had made based on those values and her surprising definition of self-care.

In this bulletin, the government hands down its net zero climate target for 2025, veteran broadcaster Alan Jones pleads not guilty to dozens of sexual abuse charges. And in sport, US Olympic sprinter Fred Kerley is the first track athlete to sign on to the Enhanced Games.

Parks are like the little green lungs of a city, and in St. Louis, they're practically bursting with stories! We kick things off by boasting about our beloved parks, the perfect spots for a picnic, a casual stroll, or a wild bike ride to nowhere. But wait, did you know there's a park that was saved by the "Real Housewives of Jefferson County?" Yep, that's right! We dive into the juicy details of how some fierce housewives rallied to save a piece of history. Plus, we uncover the surprising backstory of a park that once served as a hospital for Union soldiers during the Civil War and was also the site for the 1946 US Olympic water polo team tryouts.It's a delightful blend of history and modern day shenanigans as we chat with the phenomenal NiNi Harris, the mastermind behind the book 'St. Louis Parks', who has a family member who planted trees in these very parks starting in 1864. She also discusses the development of the city's parks, highlighting the visionary planning that started in 1907 to create a connected park system via Kingshighway Boulevard. Trust me, you're gonna want to stick around for this![00:00] Introduction to St. Louis Parks[00:52] Meet the Hosts: Arnold and Mark[01:57] Thoughts on Hard Work and Opportunities[03:16] Introducing Nini Harris: St. Louis Historian[05:15] Diving into St. Louis History[07:25] The Importance of Primary Sources[08:51] St. Louis During the Civil War[12:35] The Rich Heritage of St. Louis[16:22] Exploring St. Louis Parks[21:19] The Second Edition of St. Louis Parks[27:57] The Role of County Parks[28:42] Rediscovering Jefferson Barracks[29:06] Historical Significance of Jefferson Barracks[31:48] Famous Figures at Jefferson Barracks[32:31] The Legacy of Walter Krueger[33:54] Exploring St. Louis Parks[35:55] The Ribbon of Parkway Vision[37:52] Connecting North and South St. Louis[41:52] The Evolution of St. Louis Parks[43:48] The Real Housewives of Jefferson County[47:35] The Importance of Parks in St. Louis[55:12] Conclusion and Final ThoughtsTakeaways: Parks are not just for a picnic; they house rich histories and events, like the Olympic team tryouts. Nene Harris shared that her great-great-grandfather planted trees in St. Louis parks back in 1864. How cool is that? Did you know the Real Housewives of Jefferson County saved a park? It's a wild story that shows how community action can make a difference! St. Louis boasts over 100 parks despite being only 61 square miles, showcasing its dedication to green spaces. The history of St. Louis is layered and complex, intertwining with significant events like the Civil War and immigration waves. Parks in St. Louis have evolved to serve communities, providing activities for youth and acting as vital community hubs.

In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by US Olympic dressage rider Ali Brock. Ali Brock is a U.S. Olympic dressage rider and trainer known for her dedication to the sport and to the horses and riders she supports. Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, she left the islands at 17 to pursue a dressage career and went on to work under top professionals, including Olympian Sue Blinks. In 2004, she became head trainer at Deer Meadow Farm with the support of Fritz and Claudine Kundrun, and later spent time training in Europe with Jan Brink, Kyra Kyrklund, and Richard White. Ali earned international recognition riding Rosevelt, a 2002 Hanoverian stallion, as part of the U.S. team that won bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics—the first Olympic dressage medal for the U.S. in 12 years. She actively supports youth programs like Dressage4Kids and has served as the Equestrian Representative for the Athletes Advisory Council. Now based in Wellington, Florida, she continues to train horses and riders at the highest levels and to mentor the next generation of Grand Prix trainers. In this episode, Ali shares her philosophy on training and how it supports a strong, lasting partnership between horse and rider, including: • How a horse's emotional state influences her training approach and why recognizing that is essential. • The importance she places on the rider-horse relationship and the early mentors who shaped that perspective. • What commonly used dressage terms like “thoroughness” and “harmony” really mean in practice. • Why rules and regulations in horse sport should be based on evidence and context—not just snapshots or headlines. Join Ali and Sinead for an honest and thoughtful conversation about the future of the sport and how riders can prioritize partnership in their daily training.

In 2021 Shane Wiskus represented team USA at the Tokyo Olympic Games, helping the men's gymnastics team finish 5th. Shane finished 9th individually on floor just missing the out on the Olympic final and 23rd in the All around but suffered from the two per country rule in the sport. He competed for the University of Minnesota throughout his NCAA college career up until the program was controversially disbanded in 2021. Shane has won a total of five Pan American championships medals and multiple National titles to date. At the 2024 US Olympic trials Shane placed third in the All around after an incredible performance but was only named to the team as the travelling reserve. Shane is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and is now based in Florida as part of the very successful EVO gymnastics team. And this is his story. 

Gen Z is singing up for "Adulting 101" classes, the President of France is smacked in the face by his wife, US Olympic legend arrested for DUI, three more escaped New Orleans inmates were captured, Billy Joel reveals tragic health diagnosis, a Harvard professor's tenure is revoked, and artificial intelligence is gaining a survival instinct...

In 1975, track and field was a major sport in the U.S.A. and across the globe and there was no bigger race than the mile. So in Kingston, Jamaica, they had the best milers in the world gather for the latest Dream Mile, and for Filbert Bayi of Tanzania, that's just what it was… a dream mile. He hit the tape with a time of 3 minutes and 51 seconds, setting a world record by a tenth of a second and landing him on the cover of the May 26th, 1975 issue of Sports Illustrated. Two other runners were on the cover with Bayi… trying to chase him down and run to glory. Marty Liquori was one of them and while he would finish 2nd in the race, he ran the best time of his life at 3:52.2. Running sub 4-minute miles was nothing new to Marty. He first did in 1967 when he became the 3rd American high schooler to do so while attending Essex Catholic High School in Newark, NJ. From there he went to Villanova and made the 1968 US Olympic team as a 19-year old freshman but suffered a stress fracture in the finals of the 1,500 meter run. Being on the cover of SI was nothing new to Liquori. Four years earlier he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in May of 1971 when he beat another legendary runner, Jim Ryun in the original Dream Mile race. Despite the big win for Liquori, he told us on the Past Our Prime podcast that the week leading up to the race was a miserable experience and that he could never get used to what the Jordan's and LeBron's of today have to go through on a daily basis. He tells us that his rivalry with Jim Ryun was strictly on the track and that they didn't get to know each other very well until almost 40 years after their famous race. He says that even though he ran his best in the Bayi race he could have done even better if not for a mistake on the final lap and that the strategy used by Bayi was the difference in the race. And he tells us that he still plays softball, rides a bike, paddles around in a kayak and plays guitar in a band… The man does a little bit of everything and he does it all rather well. While at the height of his career he founded the Athletics Attic footwear chain…at the age of 23! He continued racing competitively until 1980 while also starting a broadcasting career for ABC sports that saw him cover numerous Olympics and major races for over 30 years. He ran into the record books and into at least 16 different Hall of Fames including the National Track and Field Hall of Fame and the Collegiate Athlete Hall of Fame.  In the 70's, track and field was bigger than the NBA and and Marty was in the center of it all. He stops long enough to tell us all about it on the Past Our Prime podcast. Give us a review and a download if you would and share it with your friends. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this transformative episode, we delve into the world of healing stress and trauma with Christopher Lee Maher, a former Navy SEAL turned wellness expert. Discover how Christopher's unique journey from the high-pressure environment of the Navy to becoming a pioneer in holistic healing has equipped him with unparalleled insights into the body's intelligence.Join us as Christopher shares his groundbreaking methods for unlocking the body's innate ability to heal from stress and trauma. Learn how emotional patterns and physical pain are interconnected and explore practical strategies to release these burdens, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.Whether you're seeking to overcome personal challenges or simply curious about the power of holistic healing, this episode offers valuable tools and inspiration to help you tap into your body's true potential. At the age of 22, Christopher Lee Maher was a Navy SEAL, in his prime with a sleek 1.8% body fat and pound for pound, he was one of the fittest people on the planet.He was also completely unaware of the full impact that stress would eventually have on his physical, mental, energetic, and emotional wellbeing.He trained all day long, at a level on par with professional athletes. In fact, after the SEALs, he began focusing on his dream of making it to the US Olympic trials, in track and field.A lack of awareness of the impact of high stored stress loads kept him from ever manifesting his dream.He dealt with pain on a semi-consistent basis. Over time, that escalated to pain in every joint, in his feet, lower back, and neck. He was headed for a full-blown hip replacement, resorted to reading lips because his hearing was shot, and his vision wasn't much better. He barely slept and spent his days like a zombie.How could a person in peak condition be so unhealthy, and yet, so unaware, particularly when others saw him as a model of peak physical health?Piled-up stress causes severe and traumatic damage over time—what Christopher calls Strauma, a combination of stress plus time that transforms into trauma.Anyone who has been under complex stress loads or abuse has enough to cause serious emotional, energetic, and physical damage. Even if you have a tiny amount of stress every day, it eventually adds up and stunts your evolution.Through intense pain, Christopher devoted all of his energy, time, and resources seeking out answers that would alleviate his discomfort. Eventually finding relief, Christopher applied the learned techniques and worked on himself 5 to 6 hours every day for 7 years. This process led to a deep understanding of what it takes for the body, mind, energy, and emotions to perform optimally.Christopher went on to study at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University where he learned Traditional Chinese Medical Practices and an equal amount of Western science and pathology. He has spent the last decade studying at The Universal Healing Tao System and is a Master student of Grand Master Mantak Chia at the Universal Tao Master School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is currently pursuing his masters and doctoral degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine.From his own relentless search to evolve and heal himself, he now innately understands the correlation between the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a being.His knowledge and experience led him to develop a comprehensive system of total physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and integration: the True Body Intelligence technology.https://truebodyintelligence.com/https://truebodyintelligence.com/tbi-podcast/https://www.instagram.com/christopherleemaherhttps://www.youtube.com/@christopherleemaherhttps://x.com/ChrisLeeMaherhttps://www.facebook.com/truebodyintelligencehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/truebodyintelligence/Connect with the host, Kelly Kessler:https://www.optimalyouhealthandwellness.com/

“Ultimately, for that Orlando race, that was more about getting my feet wet a little bit and seeing how the distance felt. Now that I know how it feels, I know that I can push harder.” My guest for today's episode is Amanda Vestri. She's a professional runner for Brooks who trains with Zap Endurance. She's a rising star on the U.S. distance running scene who just made a stunning half marathon debut at the Orlando Half this past weekend with a blazing 1:18:12 performance that puts her at No. 13 on the U.S. all-time women's half marathon list and sets the stage for what could be an incredible road racing career ahead for her. Amanda's path to this milestone hasn't been smooth after an injury disrupted her training just weeks before her debut. She pivoted her plans and showed remarkable adaptability and determination to test herself in Orlando. The positives for 2024 outweigh the negatives. She ran a 31:10 personal best for 10K on the track. She was the top American at the NYRR Mini 10K. Over the summer, she signed a pro contract and then took fifth at the US Olympic trials 10,000m final on the track. In this episode, we discuss her breakthrough 2024 season and unpack some of her aspirations for Houston and beyond. We also look back at what spurred her passion to someday become a professional runner and then follow her long term vision of making the U.S. Olympic Marathon team for Los Angeles in 2028.  Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram Guest: Amanda Vestri | @a_vestri Time stamps: 4:20 - Reflections on her 2024 season 7:21 - How her training has evolved throughout the year 9:58 - Details on her training group (Zap Endurance) 14:33 - Plans on chasing standards + U.S. teams 17:44 - Thoughts on racing the 10K 19:52 - Her transition to the roads 24:46 - Her path to elite running  27:32 - Reflections on her college career at Iowa State + Syracuse 34:33 - How she handled getting COVID leading into the Olympic Trials 36:51 - Signing with Brooks during the Trials 40:24 - Breaking down the Olympic Trials 10,000m 45:29 - Half marathon being an underrated distance 51:13 - Details on some of her workouts + long runs  54:36 - Breaking down the race 56:33 - Goals for the Houston Half 59:34 - Fueling during the race  1:02:21 - Thoughts on moving up to the marathon  1:06:51 - Goals looking ahead to 2025 SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAHOO: KICKR RUN - a new revolutionary treadmill offering the freedom and form of outdoor running at home, from Wahoo Fitness.
