Velocity Restorations serves a unique space in the restoration world — for enthusiasts who want a classic vehicle that captures the memories of their past without spending years in a garage or navigating endless custom decisions. Rather than operating as a boutique, one-off shop, Velocity takes an a la carte, production-driven approach. Customers choose from a curated range of options that fit within a carefully planned build system, allowing Velocity to deliver consistently high-quality restorations at scale. Their process is engineered for repeatability, efficiency, and continuous improvement, resulting in vehicles that are designed to be driven, not just displayed. Unlike companies producing brand-new replicas, Velocity Restorations starts with authentic, original vehicles, restoring them through a refined production line that preserves history while delivering modern reliability. With a growing inventory of sourced vehicles and demand that continues to rise, Velocity offers everything from classic and Fox-body Mustangs to Broncos, Ford trucks, Chevy Blazers, C10s, K10s, and Scouts. The result is a restoration experience that delivers peace of mind, a rare industry warranty, and a vehicle ready for road trips, memories, and real-world use. You can see Velocity's impressive builds at YouTube.com/@VelocityRestorations and explore build options at VelocityRestorations.com.

Cristina Cranga: Coaching Product Owners From Output Obsession to Value Conversations Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   In this episode, we refer to the work of Esko Kilpi on conversations and episodes on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) on the podcast. The Great Product Owner: A People Person Who Clarifies Before Deciding   "He was comfortable saying 'I don't know yet. What do you think?' It was a bi-directional conversation, not just one-way." - Cristina Cranga   The best Product Owner Cristina worked with was fundamentally a people person and a leader—human skills, not just hard skills. What made him exceptional was his approach to conversation: he started by clarifying the problem first, then decided. By doing this, he separated requests from decisions and made trade-offs explicit.  He was comfortable admitting uncertainty, asking "What do you think?" and engaging the team in co-creation rather than issuing directives. Cristina emphasizes that between the PO and Scrum Master, there's a special bond—a strong leadership partnership that teams look to as a reference. She highlights the concept of "ask more, say less": when you ask questions, you collect information that leads to better, more validated decisions.  The communication process, as outlined in Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, has four components: observation, feelings, needs, and requests. Great POs embody this by treating uncertainty as part of their job, engaging teams more deeply, and connecting work to value rather than just output.   Self-reflection Question: How often does your Product Owner ask "What do you think?" and what would change if they separated requests from decisions more explicitly? The Bad Product Owner: Output Obsession and the Velocity Trap "Success is measured by how much is delivered, not what changes. Teams get faster, but not smarter." - Cristina Cranga   The worst Product Owner anti-pattern Cristina has witnessed is output obsession—measuring success by how much is delivered rather than what actually changes for users or the business. When velocity replaces outcomes as the primary metric, teams get faster but not smarter. Faster doesn't equal smarter. This anti-pattern is particularly dangerous in an AI-accelerated environment where delivery speed is no longer a constraint. The challenge for practitioners is shifting this mindset. The strongest POs make different choices: they own their decisions at the team level, make decisions explicit, treat uncertainty as part of the job, and connect work to value. When POs break free from output obsession, the results are powerful: faster alignment, no decision hallucinations, more engaged teams willing to experiment, and genuine connection between work and value.   In this segment, we refer to Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg.   Self-reflection Question: If you removed velocity from your team's dashboard tomorrow, what conversations would emerge about actual value delivered?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The firms that will win going forward won't be the ones who can handle the most clients—they'll be the ones who can relieve uncertainty the fastest. In this conversation on The FutureProof Advisor, I explore the shift from thinking in terms of volume to thinking in terms of velocity. In a world where information is abundant and tools are accessible, the true differentiator isn't how much advice you deliver, but how quickly you help clients feel confident and clear.One of the most underestimated costs in our industry is waiting. Even the most thoughtful, technically sound plan loses impact if a client is left sitting with unanswered questions or lingering anxiety. I unpack why speed has become a core component of trust, and how firms can rethink their operating models to tighten the gap between a client's question and meaningful resolution. Drawing parallels from companies like Amazon, Domino's, and FedEx, the lesson is clear: responsiveness isn't about rushing—it's about designing systems that move with intention.This episode challenges advisors to rethink how work actually flows through their firm. When you measure success by throughput instead of capacity, everything changes—from how teams are structured to how technology is deployed. The goal isn't to do more; it's to do what matters faster. Because in an environment defined by uncertainty, the advisor who reduces the weight clients carry—quickly and consistently—is the one who earns lasting trust.

In this episode, the conversation covers Brandan Tobin's summers selling books, the people he learned from, and the experiences that shaped how he approaches sales and leadership today. Brandan talks about starting out skeptical of the program, thinking it might be a scam, and showing up to Nashville realizing it was very real and very serious.He shares stories from the field, including recruiting challenges, managing a large group early in his career, and learning how confidence, persistence, and systems affect performance. The discussion moves into how he tracked referrals using a handwritten notebook, how that system worked for him, and why building something you understand matters more than using a tool you don't.The episode also explores Brandan's work building CRM systems, what differentiates their approach from platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce, and why follow-up systems often matter more than lead quality. He explains how automations, voicemail drops, texting, and consistent follow-up impact conversion rates.Along the way, there are memorable field stories, including bike crashes, host families, nurses who bought books, and moments where persistence paid off in unexpected ways. The conversation wraps with reflections on faith, alignment with business partners, and why being on the same page matters regardless of belief.00:01:53 – Early connections, sales school, and shared experiences00:02:22 – Introduction to Brandan Tobin and background00:03:45 – Growth awards, leadership roles, and early success00:13:03 – Using CRM systems to manage buyers and follow-up00:18:00 – Building CRM tools to help small businesses compete00:21:47 – Why follow-up systems outperform lead quality00:29:18 – Helping business owners define their sales process00:33:37 – Pivoting from consulting to software development00:35:32 – Using voicemail drops and reminders to drive action00:45:08 – Recruiting stories and standout leaders01:10:29 – Host families, delivery challenges, and field logistics01:11:22 – Managing a large organization with limited experience01:21:18 – Tracking referrals with a handwritten system01:36:33 – Memorable field stories and “sit-downs”01:37:26 – Bike crash story and persistence in the field01:51:46 – Lessons on treating strangers and people skills01:52:43 – Meeting a famous athlete in the field02:06:26 – Faith, relationships, and being aligned with partners02:07:16 – Closing thoughts and how to connect after the episodeBrandan Tobin is a believer in Christ and a humble salesman. His mission is to expand God's kingdom by helping good people grow great businesses and increase their charitable giving.As the CRO with Knowledge Gap Consulting, Brandan leads the sales team and is still in the field, helping salespeople and entrepreneurs convert more leads in less time with custom built, AI-powered, CRM solutions. Over his nearly 20 year career in sales and business, Brandan built sales teams and sold for a variety of industries, including mortgage, real estate, solar, SaaS software and of course, books.He hit the double growth award his 2nd summer, and the quadruple growth award his 3rd summer, delivering over 8,000 units after hitting Mort, Chairman's and PC several times. As a 19 year old sophomore and B manager, Brandan helped lead a group of 22 first years and only 3 other managers, also on their B summers….and not a single person quit.Brandan went on to close more than $7,000,000 of annually recurring revenue as an account executive for various tech companies until partnering with Joe Ignace, another SW alum, to sell their own software, Velocity 360.None of it came easily or naturally and Brandan will be the first to tell you, none of it would'vebeen possible without the grace of God, being coachable, and really great mentors.

Busy doesn't equal valuable－and “we shipped 100 points” doesn't mean a customer's life improved.  This episode challenges the trap of productivity theater (endless tickets, reports, and metrics nobody uses) and reframes how teams define success: outcomes over outputs, clarity over chaos, and goals over noise. You'll hear why weaponizing metrics backfires, how Sprint Goals protect focus, and the simple question that exposes busy work instantly: What value does this create ... and for whom?

In this episode of Finding the Edge podcast as we delve into an intriguing thought experiment with frequent guest of the show Tanner Pruitt. We discuss whether it's better to focus on recruiting highly skilled pitchers and then develop their velocity, or to recruit hard throwers and then develop their skill? We dive into the nuances, trade-offs, and methods for optimizing pitcher performance both on and off the field.Intro music by: Muellzy⁠⁠⁠  / muellzymusic  ⁠⁠⁠Support Us & learn more about Ecological Dynamics (links below)⁠Donate to Finding the Edge:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ buymeacoffee.com/ftepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ecological Dynamics ResourcesResources from Emergence a movement skill education company dedicated to helping coaches learn how to apply an ecological approach to understanding and developing movement skill.Get 7% off most courses by using code: Edge7Educational Products: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://emergentmvmt.com/shop-2/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social MediaTwitter: ⁠⁠@Emergentmvmt⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@Emergentmvmt⁠⁠Patreon:⁠⁠   / ⁠⁠⁠emergentmvmt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Follow Us!Join our Discord: ⁠⁠bit.ly/3a07z1B⁠⁠Find us on Twitter: @FTEpod@gboyum01@RobertFrey40@kyledupic@CoachgbakerSubscribe on Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@findingtheedge⁠

Natalia Curusi: Measuring What Matters Beyond Velocity and Story Points Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "We as Scrum Masters need to put a scope for ourselves—we need to aim to leave the place where we work a little bit better than it was, and to make sure that this place could improve itself without us." - Natalia Curusi   Natalia defines success for Scrum Masters with crystal clarity: leave the organization better than you found it, and ensure it can continue improving when you're gone. This means fostering independence and ownership in teams so they can perform whether you're on vacation, in another meeting, or have moved to coaching other teams.  The opposite pattern—where everything falls apart when the Scrum Master isn't present—reveals someone who hasn't truly succeeded in the role. Natalia also emphasizes the importance of establishing metrics early, but not the traditional ones.  Using velocity as a metric is an anti-pattern that focuses teams on the wrong outcomes. Instead, she recommends metrics like predictability, team morale, psychological safety measured through 360 feedback, and the quality of conversations both within teams and with stakeholders. But metrics alone don't tell the story.  Natalia champions the concept of Gemba walks—going to see what's actually happening, talking to people, observing the reality rather than just reviewing dashboard numbers. Some metrics are easily gamed, others provide only narrow perspectives on reality. The most important practice is using metrics to trigger reflection and adaptation, not as fixed targets. Natalia believes strongly that the quality of conversations—how teams discuss options, make decisions together, and adapt when facing pressure—reveals more about a Scrum Master's success than any velocity chart ever could. The ultimate question: can your team succeed without you?   Self-reflection Question: If you disappeared from your team tomorrow, would they continue improving, or would progress stop until someone replaced you? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Spotify Squad Health Check "This is a multidimensional retro that I run with teams every 2 to 3 months—you need around 30 minutes for it, and I often get insights and new ideas from this retrospective that help me as a Scrum Master." - Natalia Curusi   The Spotify Squad Health Check is Natalia's favorite retrospective format because it provides a comprehensive view of team health across multiple dimensions. Unlike traditional retrospectives that might focus on a single sprint or specific issue, this format examines the team's overall state across areas like teamwork, support, mission clarity, and technical quality. Teams rate themselves on various health indicators, creating a visual representation that reveals patterns over time.  What makes this particularly valuable is that it works whether you know the team well or are just starting with them—either way, you gain insights and "aha moments" about where the team truly stands. The multidimensional nature prevents teams from optimizing just one aspect while neglecting others, and the regular cadence (every 2-3 months) allows you to track trends and celebrate improvements.  For Natalia, this format consistently surfaces the hidden challenges that teams might not raise in regular retrospectives, making it an essential tool in her Scrum Master toolkit.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Enterprises are racing to deploy AI services, but the teams responsible for running them in production are seeing familiar problems reemerge—most notably, silos between data scientists and operations teams, reminiscent of the old DevOps divide. In a discussion recorded at AWS re:Invent 2025, IBM's Thanos Matzanas and Martin Fuentes argue that the challenge isn't new technology but repeating organizational patterns. As data teams move from internal projects to revenue-critical, customer-facing applications, they face new pressures around reliability, observability, and accountability.The speakers stress that many existing observability and governance practices still apply. Standard metrics, KPIs, SLOs, access controls, and audit logs remain essential foundations, even as AI introduces non-determinism and a heavier reliance on human feedback to assess quality. Tools like OpenTelemetry provide common ground, but culture matters more than tooling.Both emphasize starting with business value and breaking down silos early by involving data teams in production discussions. Rather than replacing observability professionals, AI should augment human expertise, especially in critical systems where trust, safety, and compliance are paramount.Learn more from The New Stack about enabling AI with silos: Are Your AI Co-Pilots Trapping Data in Isolated Silos?Break the AI Gridlock at the Intersection of Velocity and TrustTaming AI Observability: Control Is the Key to SuccessJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Angus McEntrye is a Chiropractor, Athletics coach and Strength & Conditioning Coach. He works out of his practice AM Health & Performance in Sydney and specialises in injury diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation. Angus has worked with several different athletes and teams and has coached athletes competing at World Championships, Commonwealth Games, and the Olympic Games in athletics. Angus is also an accredited Level 4 Athletics Coach and ASCA Elite L3 Strength & Conditioning Coach. QUOTES "So what is VBT to me? It's all about speed output. So moving the bar or the body as fast as we can." "The most important part about the competitive season is that they're competing. We're not trying to be Olympic lifters. We're not trying to be power lifters. We want to make sure that their transfer to the sport is as high as possible. That's submaximal loading, accelerative strengthening, power on the force velocity curve. 60-70 % 1RM comes in as the heavy and then we muck around with 50-30 %; lighter, faster, ballistic tosses, jumping, loud noises, trying to get things moving as fast as we can..." "How many sports generate force up and down like a squat? There aren't too many. In track and field, it's the hammer throw, skiing, rowing, a couple of examples there, but most of what we do is we're generating force in a split based position" "So then, you know, going into those lighter loads, and doing it with a snatch, Cameron can lift up to four meters per second with 30% 1RM on the bar" “I've always been somebody that likes to be creative and just think outside of the box and how might this work? How might this better the output that we're trying to achieve? And then in the gym, it just bolsters that as well. So, you know, as long as you're not being stupid, think being creative in your environment … especially with VBT” SHOWNOTES 1) Angus' journey in strength and conditioning, athletics coaching and chiropractic influences 2) Velocity based training (VBT) basics and split snatches in Tokyo 3) Periodizing VBT across general prep, specific prep and competition phases 4) Different exercises, including Olympic lifting variations, that Angus will use in his coaching 5) How VBT metrics and speeds can be adapted for power development, including lifts above 3-4 meters per second 6) The benefits of different coaching cues combined with VBT feedback 7) Being creative in your environment as a coach and the use of different exercises to influence technique PEOPLE MENTIONED Cam McEntrye John Mitchell Nick Winkelman John Manenti

In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson kicks off another installment of the Because You Asked series—this one titled "One More Question." If you've ever called a gunsmith with "just one quick question," you already know how it goes… one more question turns into another—and another. In this episode, Jamie tackles two of the most common (and most misunderstood) issues shooters run into, especially when suppressors enter the mix. Why a suppressor sometimes won't thread all the way onto the barrel Carbon buildup, thread length differences, and how to fix it safely Suppressor alignment, bore rods, and how subtle misalignment kills accuracy Velocity increases from suppressors and barrel break-in—and how that wrecks your dope Why factory rifles often struggle with suppressed accuracy Point-of-impact shifts, re-zeroing, and when problems are "normal" vs. a red flag Jamie also shares a real customer story from a failed hunt, explains how compounding unknowns can spiral fast, and gives you a practical checklist to troubleshoot suppressed rifles with confidence.

These massive formations, known as large low shear velocity provinces and ultra low velocity zones, reside at the boundary between the mantle and outer core, approximately 2,900 kilometres beneath the surface.
