What happens after the crowd roars, the lights fade, and the jersey is hung up? In this riveting episode of Collecting Insight, hosts Sara and Lori sit down with longtime friend and special guest Jeff Schulman—a former NHL draftee and current Athletic Director at the University of Vermont—for a raw, real, and timely conversation about the emotional journey of today's college athletes.Jeff brings decades of insight from both sides of the game: as a Division I hockey player and as the leader reshaping the student-athlete experience in an era defined by pressure, social media, NIL, and skyrocketing mental health concerns. He opens up about what's changed since his own college days, the toll expectations are taking on athletes now, and how UVM's trailblazing Catamount Sport Psychology and Counseling Program is helping students reclaim their well-being—and their identities—off the field.Expect unfiltered stories, surprising reflections, and even a few laughs (yes, including a legendary ECAC goal scored against Harvard… while one teammate watched from the penalty box). You'll hear about two athletes' brave decisions to speak publicly about depression—and why that courage is quietly rewriting the future of college sports.Whether you're a parent navigating your child's athletic journey, a coach searching for better ways to lead, or simply someone who cares about mental health, this conversation will stick with you.

In this episode, Nick interviews Steve, to discuss his 2025 UVM report calling for a transformation in how utilities manage vegetation near power infrastructure. With over four decades of experience shaping industry standards and investigating some of the most significant failures in North American grid reliability—including the 2003 Northeast Blackout—Cieslewicz outlines why traditional, reactive vegetation management is no longer viable. He makes a powerful case for proactive, data-driven strategies that not only prevent wildfires and outages but also address regulatory gaps, environmental justice, and rising utility costs.Nick delves into his recommendations for integrating proven practices like Right Tree, Right Place (RTRP), Trees for Energy Conservation (TEC), and defensible space standards into utility operations. Listeners will hear how emerging technologies like AI, LiDAR, and satellite monitoring can revolutionize risk detection, and why cost equity must become a central focus of UVM reform. Whether you're a utility professional, regulator, or community stakeholder, this conversation sheds light on the urgent need to reimagine how we manage our energy landscapes—and why failure to act now could have catastrophic consequences.The full report can be downloaded here.A big thank you to the sponsor of this episode, Clear Path Utility Solutions, providing world-class construction management, vegetation management, emergency / non-emergency management, quality support and pre-inspections services to utility companies in North America.

I recorded this back in January and am finally getting around to launching it today. This episode features a fascinating little beetle larva that clings to rocks in rivers and in wave-washed lake shores. Water penny beetle larvae were first mis-described as isopods and later the error was fixed. You can find them on river rocks where they graze on periphyton. The episode art is from photos taken by then UVM student Erin Hayes Pontius when she worked in the lab at St. Michael's College. It shows a water penny (genus Psephenus) on the left and a false water penny (genus Ectopria) on the right.
