This week we're digging into the skills that used to define the studio, back when audio wasn't just about tools and tech but the craft behind the session itself. Punch-ins, drop-ins, reading along with yourself, directing talent, matching pitch on the fly, using feel instead of formulas… so much of this has disappeared from the modern workflow. Robbo, AP, George and Robert swap stories from the tape era, pick apart why many of these skills are fading, and talk about what VO talent and engineers can learn from the old way of doing things. From casting realities to coaching blind spots, and even how quickly a demo gets skipped in a session, it's equal parts fun and brutally honest. We also touch on Toby Ricketts' blog on breath control and unseen punctuation https://www.tobyrickettsvoiceover.com/blog/unseen-punctuation-how-breath-control-engages-eardrums Thanks to our sponsors TriBooth and Austrian Audio.

Hey there, hero!The amount of effort it takes to learn something new, and to become facile at something, can seem like a humongous effort; once you get to a point of competence, you can and should feel really good about that accomplishment.It's a good 95% of the full journey to get to that point. Enjoy. You've worked really long and hard to get there.To then become really expert at something...to continue the honing and refining of that last 5%...is not likely to take just 5% of the time it took to get to where you are.In fact, it's likely to take a similar amount of time - or longer - to explore and implement that final 5%. You might never even stop the process of perfecting your skills, especially if you're eternally curious.And that's a good thing.I'd love to know what your expectations are. How long do you think it's going to take you to be good at something? How long are you planning to take to become totally expert at performing? Are you at peace with that split of the effort?

Správy Jeffreyho Epsteina len minulý týždeň uzreli svetlo sveta a už ich zneužívajú domáci politici na vlastnú kampaň. Premiér Robert Fico sa k nim vrátil aj na pondelkovom mítingu Smeru, keď vďaka Epstein files oživil svoju skoršiu konšpiračnú teóriu. Tvrdil, že za pádom jeho tretej vlády stáli sily z Ameriky.Vo zverejnenej dokumentácii komunikácie sexuálneho predátora Jeffreyho Epsteina väčšina sveta hľadala zmienku o súčasnom americkom prezidentovi Donaldovi Trumpovi. Slovenské médiá však prišli s informáciou o komunikácii s akýmsi Mirom. Ukázalo sa, že ide o úspešného diplomata a bývalého ministra zahraničia Miroslava Lajčáka, ktorý dnes pôsobí ako poradca premiéra Fica. Čo všetko vieme o vzťahu Jeffreyho Epsteina s Miroslavom Lajčákom? A ako sa ku škandálnym zisteniam stavia vládna koalícia na čele s Robertom Ficom? Aj o týchto témach sa v dnešnom podcaste Aktuality Nahlas rozprávala Kristína Braxatorová so šéfom zahraničného oddelenia Paľom Štrbom a so šéfom domácej redakcie Martinom Slizom.

This week on the Garage Gym Athlete Podcast, we're running three completely different scientific studies through the grinder—and none of us saw each other's ahead of time. Expect surprises, arguments, and some actionable training takeaways you can start using immediately. Jerred digs into a kettlebell snatch protocol that boosted VO₂ max without running. Joe explores how dietary nitrates (think beets, spinach, arugula) improve isometric endurance by 25%. And Dave breaks down a 2025 study showing how heavy strength work dramatically improves running economy, durability, and time-to-exhaustion in well-trained runners. We also kick things off with an update on last week's isometric training experiment—spoiler: it was brutal—and end with a practical roundtable on supplements we actually use. If you train in a garage gym, want science-backed performance strategies, and enjoy a little misery mixed with progress…this one's for you. 00:00 – Intro: This week's study mash-up 00:30 – Isometric training update & why Jerred is wrecked 02:25 – Immovable objects, heavy loads & iso strategy 03:47 – Dave digs into CNS fatigue from the iso session 04:52 – Transition: Let's get into the studies 05:16 – Study 1: Strength training improves running performance 08:48 – 31% improvement in time-to-exhaustion 10:27 – Jerred on heavy lifting for runners 12:04 – Joe on balancing strength, speed & endurance 13:56 – The truth about soreness & "gaining mass" fears 15:28 – Study 2: Nitrates boost isometric endurance (Joe) 18:48 – How much beets/spinach you actually need 19:26 – Joe's real-life beet adventure (never pickled…) 20:53 – Study 3: Increase VO₂ max by 6% with kettlebells (Jerred) 21:16 – VO₂ max simplified — oxygen demand & oxygen debt 23:16 – The 15s on / 15s off kettlebell snatch protocol 25:17 – Circuit training vs kettlebell intervals 27:39 – How to implement the protocol in real training 30:36 – Kettlebells vs running for conditioning 33:32 – Supplement roundtable: what we actually take 34:29 – Joe: nitrates & tart cherry 36:05 – Dave: creatine, protein & coffee 39:28 – Jerred: electrolytes & hydration 42:45 – Are electrolytes supplements or just life? 44:22 – Closing thoughts & "Kill Comfort" reminder

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer dismantles the myth that winter causes “cold and flu season.” He shows how a stack of lifestyle dominos—back-to-school schedules, less sunlight, more indoor time, circadian disruption (hello, daylight savings), lower movement, and sugar spikes—prime our immune systems for defeat. Then he lays out an actionable, step-by-step Own It Immune Protocol to stay resilient through the holidays so your household becomes the one everyone asks, “How are you never sick?”Episode HighlightsDomino #1: Back to School (Sept/Early Fall) Less outdoor time & sunlight → lower vitamin D, more indoor exposure, schedule stress, earlier mornings → circadian disruption + reduced sleep quality.Domino #2: Daylight Savings (Late Oct/Early Nov) Earlier darkness → mood dips, lower activity, melatonin/cortisol rhythm thrown off → worse sleep, lower HRV, higher inflammation.Domino #3: Sugar Season (Halloween → Holidays) Candy/party foods → acute immune suppression for 4–6 hours post-load; repeat hits + late nights = rolling vulnerability.Self-Fulfilling Slide Less light & movement → lower VO₂ and energy → move even less → sleep & recovery worsen → immunity tanks.Mindset Shift It's not an unstoppable winter force—it's a predictable pattern you can interrupt.The Own It Immune Protocol (Holiday Edition)(Lifestyle first; supplements support but don't replace habits. Not medical advice.)Sunlight & Light HygieneA.M. light (5–10 min) outdoors within an hour of waking to anchor circadian rhythm.Midday sun (10–20 min) to support vitamin D synthesis when possible.Evening: Dim house lights 2–3 hrs pre-bed; avoid overhead glare; use lamps.Sleep & RhythmFixed sleep/wake window (±30 min) even on weekends.3–2–1 wind-down: 3 hrs no heavy food/alcohol; 2 hrs no work; 1 hr no screens (or strict blue-light filters).Cool, dark room; nasal breathing; white noise if needed.Movement & BreathDaily zone-2 (20–40 min) walk or easy cardio; add 10–20 min strength circuit 3x/week.Pattern-interrupt breath: 4–6 slow nasal breaths before meals & during stress to keep you parasympathetic.Sugar & Party StrategyProtein-first at gatherings (20–30g) + fiber & fluids before dessert.One-plate rule; if sweets, pair with protein/fat to blunt spikes.Cut off caffeine by 10–11 a.m. to protect sleep.Foundational NutritionDaily anchors: protein (~0.7–1.0 g/lb goal weight), colorful produce, mineral-rich foods (red meat, seafood, eggs, dairy if tolerated,===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Ausdauertraining gilt für viele als einfache, beinahe banale Form der Bewegung – ein bisschen Laufen, ein wenig Radfahren, vielleicht eine Runde schwimmen. Doch hinter dieser scheinbar schlichten Trainingsform steckt weit mehr als nur die Fähigkeit, länger durchzuhalten. Moderne Sportmedizin zeigt: Regelmäßiges Ausdauertraining beeinflusst unsere Gesundheit tiefer, nachhaltiger und umfassender, als die meisten Menschen vermuten. ​Ausdauertraining wirkt auf den Stoffwechsel, stärkt das Herz-Kreislauf-System, hebt die Stimmung und kann sogar die Lebenserwartung deutlich verlängern. Einer, der diese Zusammenhänge aus medizinischer, wissenschaftlicher und praktischer Perspektive so gut kennt wie kaum ein anderer, ist Sportmediziner Dr. Robert Fritz. Mit ihm sprechen wir darüber, warum Ausdauertraining oft unterschätzt wird, welche enormen Effekte es im Körper auslöst, was die VO₂max wirklich aussagt – und weshalb Ausdauer nicht nur für Sportler, sondern für jeden Menschen ein zentraler Gesundheitsfaktor sein sollte.

HYROX elite Rich Ryan breaks down his training evolution—from mastering sleds to dialing in threshold sessions and mindset. A must-listen for athletes chasing faster, smarter racing.0:00 – Why This Episode MattersRich kicks things off solo while Meg and Kent are away racing, sharing why this conversation with strength coach John Patton hits differently—because he's the one getting grilled this time. 4:20 – Reflecting on His Fastest HYROX Season YetRich talks improvements, racing with confidence, and why going out hard at Worlds wasn't a mistake—but a milestone. 17:55 – The Sled Push/Pull BlueprintFrom fear to domination: Rich breaks down the exact process he used to become one of the strongest sled athletes in the sport, including the 3 pillars of sled training. 36:10 – The Threshold Training RevolutionRich explains how tracking time in low Zone 4 completely redefined his HYROX fitness—and why these long, grindy sessions might be the key you're avoiding. 1:07:40 – Mindset, Longevity & What's NextHow Rich handles pain, avoids overtraining, and stays competitive at 39. Plus, what he's experimenting with next (VBT, lactate testing, and maybe even VO₂ masks).

Žilinský brankár Roman Rychlík prišiel do podcastu suSPEAK s Marekom Marušiakom a Rasťom Konečným s príbehom, ktorý by mal poznať každý slovenský športový fanúšik.V podcaste na ŠPORT.sk sa 24-ročný gólman otvorene rozhovoril o boji s diabetom 1. typu, ktorý mu diagnostikovali v 13 rokoch. „Prvá veta doktorky bola, že nemôžem hrať hokej, že s tým sa mám rozlúčiť,” spomína Roman Rychlík na moment, ktorý mohol ukončiť jeho kariéru skôr, než sa poriadne rozbehla.Namiesto toho sa však začala cesta plná sebadisciplíny a sebapoznávania. Trebišovský rodák, ktorý začínal na zamrznutom rybníku v mestskom parku, sa prepracoval až do extraligy a dnes patrí medzi najstabilnejších slovenských brankárov. V otvorenom rozhovore vysvetlil, ako vyzerá jeho každodenný režim s podávaním inzulínu štyrikrát denne a prečo sú zápasové dni pre diabetického športovca extrémnou výzvou.Roman Rychlík podrobne opísal, ako stres a adrenalín pred zápasom robí jeho telo inzulínovo rezistentným a ako sa snaží udržať psychickú pohodu, pretože práve tá zásadne ovplyvňuje hladinu cukru. Hovoril aj o tom, ktorí hokejisti z NHL s rovnakým ochorením sú pre neho vzorom a inšpiráciou, že sa dá fungovať aj na najvyššej úrovni.V podcaste si spomenul aj na kurióznu situáciu zo začiatku kariéry, keď mal za jednotku a zároveň svojho agenta Tomáša Vošvrdu. Roman Rychlík vysvetlil, prečo v tom nevidel problém a ako táto netradičná situácia vyzerala zvnútra šatne. Zaujímavosťou je aj fakt, že chytá s lapačkou v pravej ruke, čo v rozhovore vtipne rozobral spolu s moderátormi.Dnes je súčasťou jednej z najsilnejších brankárskych trojíc v extralige po boku Connora LaCouveea a Andreja Košarišťana. Roman Rychlík ponúkol v suSPEAKu úprimný rozhovor o tom, že limity sú často len v našej hlave a stačí ich neprijať.

Invité : GulixChroniqueurses : Macalys, Matthieu B, Lam SonMontage : Lam Son Il est difficile de définir le sport. Est-ce une simple activité physique pour se sentir mieux dans son corps, s'amuser, se distraire, ou est-ce qu'on a besoin de la notion de compétition pour séparer sport et activité physique ? Les ethnologues qui associent sport et compétition remarquent que dans les sports modernes on trouve une organisation sociale originale avec des fédérations qui définissent des règles qui se veulent universelles. Les compétitions qui suivent ces règles sont aussi souvent des spectacles avec un fort caractère narratif : records, rivalités, héros et héroïnes du stade, supporters, etc. Donc oui, le sport est là pour qu'on se raconte des histoires. Le cinéma l'a bien compris, de Rasta Rocket à Rocky, de Comme des garçons à Water boys. Mais la littérature, l'animation, la BD et même la chanson ne sont pas en reste. Et le jeu de rôle dans tout ça ? Gulix est un auteur et traducteur de jeu de rôle. On peut retrouver son travail sur son blog et sur itch.io. En particulier: Un dernier tour de piste pour jouer la dernière course de la saison autour d'une championne grande favorite.La coupe du Chaos, un cadre pour Fiasco pour jouer la dernière semaine avant la finale d'un tournois. Qu'est-ce qui pourrait mal se passer ? On a parlé surtout de jeux de sport qui insistent sur le narratif du sport plutôt que la simulation d'une partie : Fight with spirit, un JdR sur le drama du sport, chroniqué par MacalysGlorieuses, un JdR d'entraide entre catcheuses dans les années 80 par Cendrones. Un super actual play est disponible chez Alceste.My Way un autre jeu pour jouer un catcheur en fin de carrière tout cabosséAutres jeux de catch : World Wide Wrestling RPG VF & VO, Kayfabe, Doing the job VF & VOXCrawlLuchadoresVolley Boyz!!Superstars: Racing Icons VFFakechessla page itch.io avec le tag sports : https://itch.io/physical-games/genre-sports Des ancêtres qui touchaient un peu le sport Space quest contient des sports futuristesJames Bond 007 RPG où les espions pouvaient exceller au sport avec une classe britanniqueShadow run sports violents et augmentés en arrière planTooniversal Tour Guide avec son chapitre Street and StadiumGURPS qui inclus aussi des compétences sportives On a aussi parlé de Blood Bowl un jeu de plateau simulant un sport par équipe dans l'univers de WarhammerA Single Moment qui parle du drama pendant un duel de samurai

In ep 147 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Shiraz Engineer joins Sam and Mark to talk about how to change inflection for the type of audience you're talking to, and we demonstrate it by bringing a vegetable plot to life - double digging and all! We explore how to create a sense of luxury and wistfulness, but still squeeze it into 30 seconds... and discuss how not to overwrite a script. In the wildcard section of the show: Santa makes his first appearance of the season (and your kids can get a personalised message from Santa at www.santamessages.uk) We have an over-confident entrepreneur on Dragon's Den (Shark Tank) and an amazing slug with a slimy trail.Our VO question this week is all about why you should shut up and listen when you're new to the industry!Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1The second cycle involves the winter root crops, then the legumes with their nitrogen-fixing roots. Next come the onion family and finally a miscellaneous bunch of spinach, chard and oddities like oca and Chinese artichoke. Once the cycle is complete, there's another round of double digging with organic matter and the potatoes are planted once again. Not all crops take part in this merry dance. Perennials such as asparagus and artichokes occupy plots for an extended period. Rhubarb is the same, though easier to spot by its terracotta forcers.Script 2When there's electricity in the autumn air, it's time to find your best drive in our latest EV. Breeze down country roads and get lost in the colourful leaves, with up to 550 km in all-electric range. Go from a 10-80% charge in the time it takes to finish that warm latte.

In dieser Folge ist Tobias Voßberg zu Gast – Rechtsanwalt und Unternehmensjurist. Im Interview mit Prof. Niko Härting spricht er über den Einsatz von KI-Tools in Anwaltskanzleien. Ab Minute (01:30) geht es zunächst um die Verwendung von KI in der Prozessführung. Anschließend werden ab Minute (07:20) die ,,Partner Ende 50“ sowie die ,,Juniors“ und Studierenden beleuchtet. Warum der Einsatz von KI-Tools nicht immer zu mehr Effizienz und Zeitersparnissen führt, wird ab Minute (11:43) thematisiert. Im weiteren Verlauf sprechen Voßberg und Härting über die Probleme bei der Nutzung von Sprachmodellen. So beschreibt Voßberg in Minute (20:00) ChatGPT als „opportunistischen Mitarbeiter“. Zum Abschluss wagen Voßberg und Härting ab Minute (32:32) einen Blick in die Zukunft.

In dieser Folge erzählt Kallus, wie sein VO₂max-Training im November läuft – hart, aber macht viel Spaß. Dazu spricht er darüber, wie er die Regeneration auf die Reihe bekommt, ohne komplett umzkippen. Außerdem geht's ums Schwimmen… oder eher darum, warum es aus organisatorischen Gründen weiterhin der komplizierteste Part seines Trainings bleibt. Und es gibt's noch einen kleinen Blick auf die Ironman 70.3 WM in Marbella. #AlohaKalle #Triathlon #Triathlete #VO2max #Training #Regeneration #SwimBikeRun #Ironman703 #Ironman703WM #Marbella2025 #TriLife #EnduranceTraining #Ausdauertraining #TriathlonTraining #RoadToMarbella #SportPodcast #FitnessPodcast #AthleteLife **ALOHA KALLE Website Coaching** https://aloha-kalle.de **Steady:** http://steadyhq.com/aloha-kalle **ALOHA KALLE Strava-Club:** https://www.strava.com/clubs/aloha-kalle **ALOHA KALLE Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/aloha_kalle/ **Marcus Herbst Instagram** https://www.instagram.com/marcus.herbst/

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush to Reason ignites Health & Wellness Wednesday with Dr. Scott Faulkner, owner of Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), stepping in for John Rush. He's joined by biohacker and high-performance health strategist Jeremy Sova, whose dramatic personal transformation has placed him just one degree from today's top longevity pioneers. But can the cutting edge of biohacking really help you reverse aging, sharpen performance, and even conquer brutal long-haul jet lag? Together, Dr. Scott and Jeremy unpack the radical experiments of tech mogul Brian Johnson—the Braintree/Venmo creator turned full-time anti-aging test case. What happens when someone pours millions into biomarker testing, optimal equipment, and scientific rigor? And more importantly: What lessons can normal people take from the world's most advanced N=1 experiment? Listeners get a fast-paced look at VO₂ max, circadian rhythm, biological age, healthspan vs. lifespan, and Jeremy's evidence-based jet-lag protocol used by world travelers and peak performers. Then Dr. Scott drops a major reveal: a new generation of sublingual peptides—no injections, no needles—thin dissolvable strips that bypass the liver for dramatic absorption and game-changing results. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of https://RushToReason.com dives even deeper into the world of high-performance health as Dr. Scott continues the conversation with biohacking expert Jeremy Sova. But this hour isn't just about supplements or trends—it's about asking the question too many people avoid: How well do you actually know what's happening inside your body? From the dangers of taking the wrong supplements to the power of 110-plus biomarker panels, Dr. Scott and Jeremy reveal why fundamental transformation starts with data—not guesswork. What hidden issues could your basic labs be missing? And how much faster could you reclaim energy, metabolism, and longevity with targeted optimization instead of chasing fads? A caller sparks a fascinating discussion on sunlight, circadian rhythm, vitamin D, seasonal affective disorder, and the rising field of red-light therapy. Could light itself be one of the most underrated health tools of our generation? Then Dr. Scott unveils major news: Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare is expanding—bringing in a new -170°F electric cryotherapy chamber, DaVinci EWOT systems, and CAROL REHIT bikes designed to supercharge VO₂ max, muscle mass, and healthy aging. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason explodes into one of the most forward-thinking conversations in modern longevity as Dr. Scott, continues with biohacker Jeremy Sova to unveil the next wave of regenerative medicine. The hour opens with a deep dive into plasmapheresis—a therapy powerful enough to lower inflammatory cytokines, reset the immune system, reverse biological age, and even remove PFAS “forever chemicals.” But why are only 20 people being offered a one-time, dramatically discounted launch? And what does this treatment mean for young women preparing for pregnancy… or biohackers chasing optimal health? From there, the conversation sharpens: How dangerous are the microplastics and toxins we're unknowingly passing on to the next generation? Can Quest biomarker panels reveal hidden immune threats before symptoms appear? And what happens when you finally have a treatment that can remove those chemicals instead of just worrying about them? Then Dr. Scott shifts gears—and shocks listeners—with his personal experience using next-generation stem cell blends for hair regrowth and joint repair. Jeremy adds his own proof-of-concept story with the HOCATT ozone sauna, boosting immunity so powerfully that even a 103° fever couldn't take him down. Tune in to find out how different your future might look if you started on a new health journey now?

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza is joined by Danielle Famble and special guest Jennifer Clark (Host of Human Kindness at Work podcast) for a Boss Money Talk Series crossover episode. They explore the profound impact of charitable giving. This episode demonstrates that giving—whether time, money, or relationships—is not just good for the soul; it's a strategic act that combats hopelessness, strengthens local ties, and creates powerful networking opportunities for your voiceover business.   00:01 - Anne (Host) Hey guys, Anne Ganguzza here. Imagine a voiceover journey where every step is filled with discovery and growth. That's the path I want to work on with you, through nurturing coaching and creative demo production. Let's unveil the true potential of your voice together. It's not just about the destination, it's about the gorgeous journey getting there. Are you ready to take the first step? Connect with me at anneganguzza.com.  00:32 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) It's time to take your business to the next level, the boss level. These are the premier business owner strategies and successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a boss a VO boss. Now let's welcome your host, anne Ganguza.  00:51 - Anne (Host) Hey, hey, everyone, welcome to the VO Boss podcast and the Boss Money Talk series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguza,z and today's show is a very special crossover moment. I'm joined by my regular Boss Money Talks co-host, Danielle Famble, financial strategist, voice actor and the person who keeps our boss business brains sharp. Yay, yay, hey, Anne, hey, and we're teaming up with the amazing Jennifer Clark, a powerhouse voice actor and the host of the Human Kindness at Work podcast. Today, we're going to talk about the power of giving, how it fuels mental wellness, strengthens our brand and builds real community in the voiceover world and beyond. And we'll also be talking about 100 Voices who Care, which is a charitable organization led by these two powerhouses that supports local communities by combining donations to impact local charities. So let's get into it, ladies. Thank you so, so much for joining me today. Thanks for having us.  01:48 - Speaker 4 (Host) Anne.  01:48 - Anne (Host) Yay, I'm very, very excited to talk to you guys about this, because I think this is something that it exists and every time there seems to be, let's say, possible issues in the community or you know people that need help, we get those GoFundMes, we get people who talk about, you know, donating to charities and stuff like that, and I think it's something that we need to really talk about more, about how it can affect us in a positive manner and also how it can affect our businesses. So let's maybe start by talking about the psychology of donating and giving. And, jennifer, I know, in your Human Kindness podcast you which is wonderful, by the way, guys, you absolutely must tune into that you talk to people all the time about giving and human kindness, and so what are your thoughts about you know, what are the benefits of giving?  02:43 - Speaker 4 (Host) Well, I'm not a doctor, but I can speak as someone who has been, you know, intentionally giving for most of my life, and as I'm talking to guests who are really active in their community and showing human kindness at work. What I see in myself and in people that I'm talking to is that it does something for our mental health. It's really easy to look at the world, especially right now, and you wake up every day and there's another crazy thing going on. The world is constantly on fire and it's really easy to get depressed fast. I mean, that's the fastest ticket to depression, right? Just read the news, right and we lose sight of all the really good things that are going on in the world. We lose sight of the really good people that there are.  03:36 Being a part of giving is like linking arms and finding all those people in your local community and the world at large that are doing the work. They're trying to bring change, and it's really uplifting. It's one of those things I don't know what it's called, but it's kind of like when you're looking for something you know when I wanted to buy a new vehicle, I had never seen anybody drive this vehicle and then all of a sudden, when I was like I want a Volkswagen Atlas. I saw it everywhere, Absolutely everywhere. And it's the same with giving. When you look around and you're like man, nobody is doing anything, Nobody is getting involved. In my community, Nonprofits are suffering. But then you start getting involved, you will make connections like crazy and you'll start seeing all of the good and it is so uplifting. It really does change your perspective.  04:34 - Anne (Host) Oh, absolutely I can imagine, because, especially now, just with the craziness, as you mentioned, of the world, and there's a lot of times when I will open up my social media and then, oh my goodness, just start reading or the news and I just start to feel hopeless and what can I do? What can I do? First of all, to feel, because it's making me feel bad and not like I don't know, functional in a lot of ways, and I want to be able to help and I don't know how to help. And I think this is one way that we can focus on something that can absolutely make a big difference in our lives and, of course, other people's lives as well, and to be able to connect with people who are doing good in the world. That gives me hope.  05:25 - Speaker 4 (Host) And I think sometimes we look at problems and it's so overwhelming and we think we have to reinvent the wheel, Like oh. I got to start a nonprofit or fix the solution. There are already boots on the ground that are doing work. So making a difference, giving of yourself your time, your resources, your energy, doesn't have to be hard. It's just a matter of finding something that you want to give yourself to, and don't reinvent the wheel, just join into the good work that's already going on. Yeah.  05:56 - Speaker 3 (Host) It kind of reminds me of that.  05:57 I think the quote is attributed to Mr Rogers, or maybe Mr Rogers did the quote from someone else, but the look for the helpers quote I was.  06:07 I was speaking with a friend of mine who we were both sort of commiserating about what was going on in the world and how frustrating it is, you know, with money being pulled from certain social organizations and that's their lifeline, and she worked for one of those organizations and she was like of those organizations and she was like you know, we can get upset about it, we can get mad about it, we can feel hopeless about it. Or you can look for the helpers. You can look for the people who are out there like you said, jennifer boots, on the ground doing the good work, and it changes your psychology to see, okay, these are the possibilities, this is what's out there, these are the people who are already doing the work. How can I help them? And when you can look at that and you can find that pattern, recognition of people helping the helpers, then you can figure out how you can put your hand behind the plow and do something too.  06:58 - Anne (Host) What do you think are the things that stop people from either looking for this or from donating? And, of course, I think one of the biggest things that people will say is but I don't have any money. I don't have the money to donate. I can barely keep myself surviving in today's world. What do you say to that?  07:17 - Speaker 4 (Host) I would say we have to look beyond just finances. Financial giving is really important, especially for local nonprofits, but we have so much to give. You have to look at yourself as a whole. So you have energy, you have time, which I think are your two greatest resources, and you have money. You have relationships. So, looking at those four areas of your life, where can you give in those time, energy, money, relationships? And if you really are, I've been in times of your life. Where can you give in those time, energy, money, relationships? And if you really are, I've been in times of my life I am strapped for cash. You know, my husband was unemployed a few years ago, like it was super tight. So I get it. There are legitimate times that you don't have any extra money, but you still have time, energy relationships that you can give to.  08:19 - Anne (Host) So I would say look at that whole picture, not just your pocketbook their energy or their relationships because I love that you mentioned relationships too, because connecting with people who may have at the time the financial resources to help or other methods and sources to help is also a wonderful way to give back.  08:40 - Speaker 3 (Host) Yeah, social capital is a huge one because you never know what that connection that you are making between two people or groups or organizations, what that will do and that will yield in their life.  08:54 So that's a huge one, even looking outside of the box.  08:58 I was just reading a story about a woman who was at a park with her kids and noticed that there were some kids who didn't seem like they were being attended to by an adult and, instead of making an assumption, what she decided to do was essentially just take care of those kids for a little bit of time.  09:16 And she was offering her time as a resource, as essentially child care, and not making an assumption about what was happening with the parents or anything else in their situation. She was like, ok, I'm a safe place, I'm a safe person and I can provide some, some respite for these parents who may be further away, who need a little bit of time away. And she did that and that was her way of giving back. And she, when she was explaining it to me, or when she was explaining it and I was reading about that story it's not something I think that people think about off the top of their head Like, oh, this time that I have, or the ability to care, is a resource like do an inventory and audit of what you've got, what you are willing to give, what you are able to give, and then figure out a way that you can creatively if it's not financially a creative solution that you can provide for people who need it.  10:11 - Anne (Host) Yeah, I have a neighbor who literally just got an email this week. She typically in the summer she goes to the East Coast to stay in her home over there with other family and she offered her home to a family who had just lost theirs in the fire and the recent fires in California and you know a family that you know it was complete strange to her. And she wrote us an email and said hey guys, I'm offering my place for this family to stay for the month while I'm away on the East Coast, and they recently lost their home in a fire and would you mind welcoming them? Because not only did they lose their home but they lost their community, and so I think that, as a sense of community, would be really wonderful if you could help welcome them. And it was amazing to see the thread in that email, because all of us responded and said oh yeah, come to happy hour on Saturday, or hey, we were playing bunco or whatever it is. Come, I'll pick you up and take you over there and introduce you to everybody. And I just it was such a wonderful thing and I thought there you go, there's something that didn't really cost any money and it was something with the whole community getting together. It was just something really wonderful to see, especially like, yeah, I've had a stressful week Really wonderful to see, especially like, yeah, I've had a stressful week. And to be able to like, all of a sudden, get an email like that and then see the community come together and give it just was really a wonderful thing. And I just I think now I'm like I want to start a podcast and I want to be Jennifer, I want to be Danielle, because I know you guys also are leading the 100 Voices who Care, which we'll talk about in just a minute, because 100 Voices who Care is a wonderful organization that was a longtime sponsor of the VO Boss podcast, so I'm excited to talk about that.  11:58 So I love that we just came up with all of these ideas, because I think the number one excuse why people think that they can't give is the fact that they don't have any extra financial support, that they can, that they can donate Awesome. So let's talk about so we've got a lot of benefits where it, first of all, it makes us feel good, right, we're helping somebody else. It can give us hope in a, in a, in a place, in a world that might seem hopeless at the time or just frustrating. Might seem hopeless at the time or just frustrating. So let's talk about as businesses. How can giving help maybe our businesses and I don't like to think that it's like, oh, I want to just help my business. It's not I don't know if that's like the foremost reason that I want to give, but hey, if I am giving and I'm able to help others and I feel good about that, know that also. It can, it can positively affect our businesses as well. So, danielle, what do you think about that?  12:53 - Speaker 3 (Host) Yeah, no, there are so many ways that it can affect and help your business. One way and you know we'll think about it from financially, because you know I like to talk about money.  13:02 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) Of course.  13:04 - Speaker 3 (Host) When you can give to businesses, you can get some sort of tax benefit as well at the end of the year.  13:10 So financially, if you're giving to a 501c3, you can write that off against your taxes at the end of the year in some cases. So that's one financial way that it can help, but also in the social capital as well. When you're out and you're meeting people who you can help or who you'd like to support, the organizations you'd like to support, it's a great way to meet other like-minded people and maybe other like-minded businesses, organizations that I enjoy supporting in my local organization, and I got to meet a ton of local business leaders and they got to know who I was and I was like the first voice actor they had ever met which was an interesting conversation.  13:57 So there are ways to meet other people and engage in just community building, especially locally, because we are local businesses as well as global businesses doing what we do in voiceover. But there's also a financial benefit too building especially locally because we are local businesses as well as global businesses doing what we do in voiceover. But there's also a financial benefit too.  14:12 - Anne (Host) And isn't that honestly like? Isn't that one of? Like the one on ones of how do I get work in the voiceover business? Right, One is OK, so we maybe try to join a roster, we try to get an agent, and then there's we'll go to your local chamber of commerce, Right? Think of this type of thing, Think of you know the possibilities of charitable donations in terms of networking, because it's all about the relationships and, as a matter of fact, a lot of the ways that we get and secure and keep jobs to keep our businesses alive and successful is through relationships. And what better relationship? Not only something that makes you feel good that you've done something to help somebody else, but also the possibility of maybe networking with people who can also support your business. Jennifer, I'm sure you've spoken to many people in your podcast also that have been able to help their business and or other local businesses. Talk about that.  15:11 - Speaker 4 (Host) Well, I'll give you an example. Someone that I interviewed a few months ago was a local nonprofit here in Kansas City called Foster Light and they provide wraparound care for foster families and I loved their mission so much that I was like they had a gala coming up, a fundraising gala, and I was so compelled by their mission that I took my CPA's advice. She said you need to start spending money, and so I sponsored the gala and that was my first time doing that, but it was strategic because it was a mission that I loved and I was going to give to anyway. But I did it strategically so that then I'm advertising my business Right, right, and I'm supporting a mission that I love and I get networking opportunities. There was like for all the sponsors, there was like a meet and greet VIP happy hour beforehand, so I got networking and networking with like businesses, not just a normal attendee. So it was threefold and I thought I'm going to keep doing this because it was beneficial to me on all fronts.  16:18 - Anne (Host) So I have to ask your CPA said you need to spend some money, Jennifer. What was her reasoning behind that? And I'm pretty sure Danielle can answer that too, probably just off the cuff, without knowing. Yeah.  16:28 - Speaker 4 (Host) Why did you have to spend money? I've had a really good year. Ok, I love it, so I need to bring that taxable income down.  16:35 - Anne (Host) There you go, there you go. Yes, see, I love it, I love it, I love it. Yeah, so lots of benefits.  16:42 - Speaker 3 (Host) And can I just jump on that just for a second, because it's so important and good for you, jennifer.  16:49 - Anne (Host) That's wonderful.  16:50 - Speaker 3 (Host) So really, that happens, it happens right. You have a wonderful year, you have a great year and typically what we'll do as voice actors is okay, great. We're going to go to voiceover conferences we are going to support and we're going to make sure that we give to other voiceover events maybe help with keeping the money in our community, which is wonderful and it's a great tax write-off. I like to joke. I like business travel, right, I like to travel for business with these conferences and everything else. But this is another way that you can have that same kind of effect financially for your business. But you're also doing good and networking in your local communities, and the idea again for businesses is to try to create profit, right, and so if you're networking with people who potentially could hire you for voiceover work or think of you for connecting with other people, that's another way to help do good in the world, do a whole lot of good in the world.  17:47 - Anne (Host) And actually, if you don't mind, I want to tag team on that and say that a lot of times when I would go to the Chamber of Commerce, right, it was mostly other businesses just trying to hook up so that we could make money off each other, and it was never. It wasn't always as successful as I wanted it to be. But if you're meeting for another reason, if you're meeting at a charitable organization, you know you're meeting with people who are wanting to give or have the ability to give, and that's a completely different reason to have a good networking connection as opposed to let's just network because we want to try to get work from each other. So that is one big major difference. That is one big major difference. So I really feel like it can be advantageous or strategic to to really get more involved with, with a charitable donation or that community You're finding like hearted.  18:36 Yes, yes.  18:38 - Speaker 4 (Host) Absolutely, and those people are more likely to hire you because it's like hey, we love the same mission, you're a giver, I'm a giver, let's do business together. I would much rather do business with someone like that than some random business.  18:53 - Anne (Host) So here's something, because I know people they feel timid if they don't have a lot to give, right? There's people I mean, if you can give up your, everybody says, if you can give up your Starbucks, right, one Starbucks a day. You know you're able to give. So what advice would you give to someone who wants to give back but feels like they can't, they're not giving enough or it's too little and they're embarrassed. You know what I mean and it's not like, oh, I'm not making a sizable contribution.  19:19 - Speaker 4 (Host) I mean I'd say, first of all, don't compare your giving to anyone else's giving. You really have to put your blinders on in life and run in your own lane. So whatever you are able to do, do that wholeheartedly and don't compare your giving to danielle's giving or my giving or anne's giving um, this is your life and your time, your money, your energy, your relationships and you, you gotta do what's what's right for you.  19:49 - Speaker 3 (Host) And measure it with your heart right. Like, your heart is to give, no matter the size of the gift, your heart is to do something good in the world. That's your intention. So the amount of money is really at that point, it's not really as important as the fact that you saw a need, you wanted to give something and you gave of. You know what you had which could be a greater sum than the amount that someone else gave. So really look at that from a place of like I'm giving everything that I have, this is all I've got to give, this is what I can afford to give. If it's a monetary amount and that is immeasurable you can't measure someone's desire in that way. So look for where you can do the most impact with that amount of money or just give it because that's what your heart said to give.  20:41 - Speaker 4 (Host) And I think if we all just sit on our hands and use that as an excuse like, well, I only have the $7 giving up my Starbucks this week to give, if we all just wait on that, then nothing happens. Change doesn't happen.  20:55 - Anne (Host) Okay, possibly the elephant in the room, because sometimes, like I said, people feel pressured, right? Sometimes people feel pressured to give and then when there's a place to give where they see like, oh, so-and-so just donated $1,000. And then you might be looking at it going well, I don't have $1,000. So should I put my name there? What are your thoughts on that Name anonymous? I think there's benefits and there's pros and cons to both. To be quite honest, I think that it's really a personal choice.  21:27 - Speaker 3 (Host) I mean, this entire topic giving is so personal because it's tied to your desire to do something good in the world and to help in a way that you are able to help. So if it feels right to you to put your name on it and say this is what I gave and this is what I was able to give, and I'm proud of that and I want to put my name on it, great. If you want to not have your name on it, I've given, and given completely anonymously because it felt like the right thing to do for me, anonymously, because it felt like the right thing to do for me.  22:01 That was just the choice that I made at that time, so I don't think that it. Please try not to in this way. As Jennifer was saying, please keep your blinders on. Please understand that your reason and your why for giving is the reason to give, whether it's anonymously or with your name on it. And another way, even if you feel like maybe you're not giving a lot of money, whatever that number is for you, what you can do is you can team up with other people and combine your gift to make it a larger gift, which is what we do with 100 Voices.  22:29 Who Care?  22:30 - Anne (Host) What a wonderful segue into one of the reasons why I love this organization 100 Voices who Care. Talk to us a little bit about the organization, and I think it actually kind of just really leads itself nicely after the conversation we just had, because you don't have to, you don't have to give a lot, but together it makes a huge difference. So talk to us a little bit about 100 Voices who Care. What's it all about?  22:53 - Speaker 4 (Host) Well, there are a lot of groups in the voiceover community that we join to get something right, like health benefits, vo workouts, accountability for your business, etc. Those are all wonderful and needed, but 100 Voices who Care? Is a group that you join to give. We are a group of voice actors who are changing our communities through our collective generosity. So we meet once a quarter. Virtually. Each member commits $100 per quarter and we also bring to that virtual meeting a local nonprofit that we want to nominate and we choose three to five local nonprofits to members to pitch those nonprofits. We vote via the poll on Zoom and then whichever nonprofit wins our majority vote receives the entire donation from all the members, it can mean up to, I believe, $10,000.  23:57 - Anne (Host) Is that correct? So, collectively, right, if you have 100 people that are joined, it can mean $10,000 for that local organization that you want to support.  24:06 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) Per quarter, which is amazing.  24:07 - Anne (Host) Yeah, oh, per quarter. Yeah, thank you for correct me. My financial boss over there, thank you, I love it Just keeping you in line. Yeah, I love it Just keeping you in line. Yeah, I love it because you may think that your $100 isn't really doing a lot, but in reality, when you combine it with the community, I mean that is amazing. I mean that's per quarter to help an organization and that is something I think you can be proud of. And the fact is is that not only are you helping a local organization to do good, but you're also networking with like minded voice actors. So not only are you like minded in your maybe in charities that you support or you know ideals that you support, but also your voice actors as well. So there's so many benefits to that, and I've always, always loved this organization, so I'm so glad that the two of you are heading it up. So how does it work? How can people join this organization? And are they tied to a year, or are they tied? You know how does that work. So we.  25:09 - Speaker 3 (Host) the way it works basically is that we are open to any voice actor who wants to join our organization. We give through a third party called Grapevine. So Jennifer and myself, as we are the leaders of 100 Voices who Care, we're not touching any of the money. So you would join through Grapevine. We all get together and Grapevine is the one who takes our $100. Grapevine also will vet the nonprofit, that is, the organization that we would give the money to as the donation. We are not doing anything other than meeting, finding local organizations, pitching that organization to the greater group 100 Voices who Care and Grapevine really takes care of all of the nitty gritty of keeping our money, sending it out, vetting the nonprofit to make sure that everything is above board.  26:02 - Anne (Host) I was going to say I really, I really like that that they vet the organizations that you're giving to, because you vote right as a collective, you vote on who to give that money to, and so it may not have been your personal choice that maybe wins. And so you might feel like, well, you know where's this money going to and what are they doing with it. So I really love that you have a third party that's vetting. And is there somebody that vets grapevine? Do you know what I mean? Some people might have that question or talk about grapevine. Have they been? I mean, has this been around? How long has this been around? How long have they been working with this?  26:36 - Speaker 4 (Host) I don't know the answer to that. We've been with Grapevine from our inception, so we started in 2022. Oh.  26:42 - Anne (Host) OK, so it's been a good number of years yeah.  26:46 - Speaker 4 (Host) And we've always had a wonderful experience with them as far as that vetting process and they've got a great customer service as well.  26:54 - Speaker 3 (Host) So we have reached out to them just to ask questions about how to better facilitate. You know our group or what we could, who we could be giving our money to, and they answer us within a day or two days. We've even emailed back and forth with the founder of Grapevine, so they've been wonderful to work with and they've got great customer service as well.  27:20 - Anne (Host) So you've been doing this since 2022, is that correct? Yeah, so what are some of the organizations that have been helped by 100 Voices? Who Care?  27:29 - Speaker 4 (Host) Well, our very first recipient was called the Grooming Project. Now they're called Prosperity, but they're here in Kansas City. I had the privilege of pitching them. They are my favorite nonprofit in Kansas City. They're based here. They are the country's only nonprofit dog grooming school. In the entire country. They have this really transformative program that breaks the cycle of poverty through extensive job training within this booming industry of pet grooming. So their students are usually society's most vulnerable. They focus on single parents living in poverty. So these students not only learn the art of dog grooming but they learn life skills like budgeting and parenting, emotional regulation, things like that. So once they go through this two-year program, they graduate having a grasp on life, you know, and then they have this trade that they can make a real living in. So it is literal life change. My dog groomer went through this program. This is how I came to know Posparity. She was in the first graduating class and she was so successful that she managed the salon that they offer to the community at a low cost.  28:48 So that students get an opportunity to work on their trade and then it goes back into supporting this mission. But she managed that salon and then she was so successful that she bought the entire salon with Prosperity's Blessing.  29:04 - Anne (Host) That's wonderful.  29:05 - Speaker 4 (Host) Took all of the workers with her, with Prosperity's Blessing, and she has this thriving dog grooming business in the Casey Metro.  29:12 - Speaker 3 (Host) Oh, that's wonderful.  29:13 - Speaker 4 (Host) You know she, prior to this program, she was working multiple jobs, single mom of two, living in government housing. Her life is completely different and now she hires prosperity graduates in order to give back, so I love it. These are the kind of when you're when you're looking in your local community for a local nonprofit to bring to a 100 Voices who Care meeting. These are the kind of things that you get connected to.  29:41 - Anne (Host) This is.  29:42 - Speaker 4 (Host) I see Christine, my pet groomer. Pet groomer every six to eight weeks because I have a golden doodle and they need lots of grooming. I'm in her life now and there's just nothing like that to be connected to people in your community doing good work and giving back.  30:00 - Anne (Host) So how can people sign up for 100 Voices? Who Care if they're interested? I mean, do you have a period of time, that a special time that they sign up? Because you say you're giving quarterly, so I assume that there's another quarter coming up. Yeah, so there?  30:12 - Speaker 3 (Host) we have meetings every quarter. Our next meeting is going to be on November 17th and you can really sign up at any time, but the idea is that you would be coming to our next meeting. We ask that people are ready to pitch. You would also be getting that $100.  30:32 Great Fine, would be debiting that money and you can set up as a recurring payment through your credit card, but we ask that people are also, yes, ready to pitch, but also bring a friend, because we want to grow this to the 100 voices so we can get to our $10,000 per quarter. Absolutely, absolutely.  30:50 - Anne (Host) Now, do the people that join? Do you have to bring a local charity? Or, if you're not familiar, I think it's great because I feel like you should research. Or if you're not familiar, I think it's great because I feel like you should research charities yeah. But if somebody maybe not have any preference, is it something that you take care of or that's okay?  31:06 - Speaker 4 (Host) We ask that people research small, local nonprofits. It does not have to be local to you, oh okay, but we're just saying you know Red Cross, st Jude Research Hospital. They're doing great work, but they have huge donors, huge budgets. Everyone knows about them. So we want to find those nonprofits that are doing good work in local communities. So that can be anywhere, but we do ask that you do a little bit of research.  31:30 We have a really easy email template, so that once you find that nonprofit, you just email our template, fill in the blanks, email our template off. And there are people at these organizations whose job it is to answer these questions. You know, I think a lot of people feel like they're imposing or they feel weird asking these questions, but literally there are people who are, you know, doing applications for grants all the time. So they already have these answers ready to go and this template that we've made just makes it so easy for you to create a pitch, a nomination out of that. So, yeah, we just ask that you do a little bit of research We've made it as easy as possible and that you bring it to the meeting.  32:13 - Anne (Host) Great, when do they go to sign up?  32:16 - Speaker 3 (Host) They can go to our Instagram. There's a link in our Instagram where they can go to sign up and we just, you just take it from there and it'll take you to Grapevine, where you will sign up through Grapevine.  32:29 - Anne (Host) And bosses. I'll put that in the show notes for any of you and, of course, when we, when we promote the show, which we will be doing heavily we'll be putting that link in there as well. So last question, guys If a listener takes just one action after listening to this podcast, what would you want it to be?  32:46 - Speaker 3 (Host) Sign up for 100 Voices who Care.

And you know, just join us with 100 Voices who Care.  33:01 - Anne (Host) Jennifer, because Danielle took yours probably.  33:03 - Speaker 4 (Host) Yeah well, I would just piggyback off of that to say if you're hesitant, if you're like I'm not sure that I'm ready to commit, just come check us out. We welcome guests in our Zoom meetings. Just come see what our collective generosity is all about, what that looks like. The Zoom meeting is on our Instagram link.

Pracovný trh ostatných plus-mínus päť rokov postupne zapĺňajú vysokoškolskí absolventi generácie Z. Vo všeobecnosti ide o mladých ľudí, ktorí sa narodili v rokoch 1997 až 2012, teda dnes majú 13 až 28 rokov. Veľa si o nich prečítate v médiách a internetových fórach. Napríklad aj to, ako sa na nich sťažuje oscarová herečka Jodie Foster, ktorá hovorí, že sa s nimi ťažko pracuje. Nie je jediná. Takisto sa dozviete, že sú skúsení v technológiách, sú neustále online a práca nie je ich identita. Nič to nemení na tom, že sa o generáciu Z musia skôr či neskôr usilovať celkom logicky všetky sektory hospodárstva. Jedným z nich je aj bankovníctvo. Dokáže mladým ponúknuť to, čo žiadajú a naopak, má gen Z to, čo potrebujú banky? Ako je to napríklad s flexibilitou práce, ktorá sa často spomína ako jedna zo štandardných požiadaviek mladých ľudí – je na ňu priestor v bankovom sektore? O tom, ako menia zoomeri pracovnú kultúru a ako dokáže mladé talenty prilákať práve bankovníctvo, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s HR riaditeľkou VÚB banky Draganou Smolović. Táto epizóda vznikla v spolupráci s VÚB bankou, členom skupiny Intesa Sanpaolo. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/podcasty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SME.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ s najdôležitejšími správami na⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/brifing⁠⁠⁠See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why the Half Marathon Might Be the Perfect DistanceI break down why the half marathon is the smartest distance for real life: enough stress to build stamina and speed, not enough to trash your body or calendar. You'll get a simple training framework—two quality sessions, one purposeful long run, and easy mileage that actually fits your week—plus how to tweak it whether you're chasing sub-90 or cruising a first finish. We'll cover pacing by effort, when to use VO₂ max vs threshold work, and how to rotate long runs without burning out. I'll also de-stress race logistics, fueling, and travel so you don't turn a fun weekend into a recovery crater. The punchline: patience compounds; the half teaches restraint; and that's exactly how you get faster year after year.Key TakeawaysHalf Marathon Advantage – Why 13.1 miles delivers most of the fitness gains with fewer risks.Training Framework – Two quality sessions, one long run, and smart recovery.Mindset Shift – Focusing on restraint and sustainability over ego and extremesTimestamps[00:49] Why the Half Marathon Is Actually Perfect[01:22] Run Science Nerd Break[01:50] Half Marathon vs Full Marathon[03:25] Definitions[04:37] Ad Break: Use this to run a faster and smarter half-marathon[05:06] The Half-Marathon Training Framework[06:36] What Your Week Actually Looks Like: 3 Days a Week[07:38] 4 Days Per Week Training[07:57] Help Another Runner Out[08:27] 5 Days Per Week Half Marathon Schedule[09:13] 6–7 Days Per Week Training[09:52] Half Marathon Energy System Used – Threshold vs Aerobic[10:48] Half Marathon vs 5K Training[12:15] Why This Actually Matters Beyond Running[13:54] Use This to Improve Your Half Marathon Times SlowlyLinks & Learnings

Prečo skončila s plávaním a ako reaguje na komentáre typu: Máš príliš mužskú postavu? Akú kritiku dostávala a ako sa prejavoval jej toxický vzťah k jedlu? Aké má životné štandardy a kam siahajú jej korene? Karina tiež prezradí: Aký je jej najväčší životný sen a aké slovo ju najviac vystihuje?

In this episode, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash sit down for a story that is equal parts comeback and evolution. After a hip replacement and years away from competition, Mash, now over 50 years old, stepped back onto the powerlifting platform to go nine for nine and set new age group world records. He breaks down how he rebuilt his body, balanced strength with health, and used velocity-based training to stay powerful without breaking down. The crew digs into how technology, recovery, and smarter training allow veteran lifters to keep progressing long after their prime years, and why Mash believes everyone over 50 should use bar speed tracking to train safely and effectively. Travis opens up about his modern approach, tracking VO₂ max, focusing on sleep quality, and embracing conditioning as a secret weapon most powerlifters ignore. He explains why he is competing just twice a year from now on, the methods that rebuilt his deadlift after chronic back pain, and how discipline has replaced the reckless intensity of his younger days. His goal is not just to lift big again, but to model longevity, work ethic, and integrity for his kids. The conversation turns deeply personal when Mash shares how his son's recent basketball tryout failure became a father-son lesson in resilience. From youth sports to elite competition, the group reflects on how loss, hard work, and long-term consistency shape champions. They also swap stories of athletic breakthroughs, from Doug's failed baseball tryout that launched his strength career to Anders' early lifting days and the raw power of athletes like Ed Coan and Ryan Fischer. This episode is a look at what it means to age as an athlete, how to stay in the game, keep the fire alive, and prove that strength and purpose do not fade with time.

In this episode, I call out some dangerous and misguided fitness advice floating around on social media—like a post from a PhD in exercise physiology suggesting that everyone should go run for 45 minutes in 100-degree heat to boost their VO₂ max. Sure, the science on heat training is interesting and real, but context matters. For elite athletes training for world championships, carefully managed heat exposure can make sense. For the other 99.9% of people, it’s a fast track to burnout, breakdown, or even the ER. I break down the difference between training stress that builds fitness versus stress that destroys it, explain how to recognize the signs of overtraining, and share why fatigue is feedback, not weakness. I also revisit my critique of Layne Norton’s “push through it no matter what” philosophy and contrast that with what smart athletes actually do—monitor recovery, track readiness, and adjust daily. To wrap up, I share lessons from my own mistakes, insights from coach Cynthia Monteleone, and why true recovery days sometimes mean actually resting. TIMESTAMPS: Brad takes issue with the recommendation that people exercise in 100 degree heat. [01:10] If you are talking about competitive athletes, rather than the general population, that would be different. [03:30] Running is too stressful for the vast majority of participants. [06:37] The main two reasons for poor performance and workouts are one, over training and two, de-training. [10:27] You are literally training the body to get slower, weaker and less efficient with poor technique when you train and push your body through signs of poor movement patterns. Fatigue is feedback, not weakness. [12:10] If you don't feel like working out one day, that is a signal from the control center, your brain. [17:57] There is a huge distinction between endurance athletes where they always have that obligation to keep that aerobic system going with low intensity recovery days versus a true recovery day for a high intensity power athlete which entails sitting around and resting.
