Join Boson's Live 8-Week CCNA Workshop starting Aug 17:https://itdad.info/8Weeks2CCNAIf you are studying for the CCNA by just watching video courses on a second monitor while you scroll through social media, you are setting yourself up to fail on your first attempt. I learned this the hard way, burning hundreds of dollars on exam fees early in my career because my study strategy had a massive flaw. Passive information consumption does not build long-term retention or real skill. In this video, I am breaking down the exact study stack I wish someone handed me when I started—videos for introduction, labs for muscle memory, active recall for retention, and practice exams for verification—so you can build real skills, stop wasting money, and pass on your first attempt.

The ATP is rumored to be shrinking men's doubles draws and shifting prize money over to singles, part of what has been a slow retreat from doubles over the past few decades.I don't agree with the decision and wanted to talk with someone who understands the ATP's side. Ben Rothenberg is a journalist who broke the news about the potential plans yesterday. He's also been on the show before (listen here).Ben shares what he knows about what's happening, and the case the ATP has to make such a decision. I attempt to analyze the business logic, the marketing failures, and what it would take for doubles to grow without relying on singles stars.We discuss:The reported draw size reductions at Masters 1000 and other ATP events Product 28 and why 2028 becomes a turning point Prize money reallocation from doubles to lower-ranked singles players Crowding, practice court access, and tournament footprint as driversWhy late-round doubles is valued more than early roundsTennis TV production issues and how the viewing experience shapes demandSingles specialization and why the ATP singles players rarely play doublesThe chicken and egg problem of marketing doublesWhat makes a “star” in tennisSocial media and highlight restrictions that limit player promotionWhether a smaller doubles circuit could create more prominenceI'm not exactly satisfied with the conclusion of this conversation, but I want to keep it going to help move tennis and doubles forward.Feel free to react by posting to Ben (@BenRothenberg) and me (@WillBoucek) on Twitter.Learn more about Ben & follow:InstagramTwitter/X -----**Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox**Become a Tennis Tribe Member**Tennis Tribe Members get access to premium video lessons, a monthly member-only webinar, doubles strategy Ebooks & Courses, exclusive discounts on tennis gear, and more.Learn More & Sign Up Here**Other Free Doubles Content**Serve Strategy CheatsheetReturn Strategy CheatsheetServe Strategy 101 - Video Course

As parents, we often believe we know why our kids behave the way they do.We assume intentions, assign meaning to their actions, and respond from that story, often when we are stressed, tired, or triggered. But what if those assumptions are wrong? In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, we explore one of the most common and overlooked parenting mistakes, mind reading our children. This happens when we assume we know their motives without actually checking. We unpack why the parent brain does this under stress, what brain science and child development tell us about behavior, and how these assumptions quietly erode connection, trust, and cooperation, especially with tweens and teens. In this episode, you will learn:• Why the human brain jumps to negative interpretations under stress• How nervous system dysregulation leads parents to misread behavior• Why kids often cannot articulate their own motives and what that means for discipline• How curiosity builds safety, honesty, and long term behavior change• What it looks like to assume the best without losing boundaries• Practical ways to pause assumptions and respond with clarity and connection This episode is for parents who want to move beyond control, power struggles, and miscommunication and toward deeper understanding, cooperation, and trust.You do not need to read your child's mind. You need to make space for their voice.
