I want to talk about something that sneaks up on a lot of us. It's when you're shopping — or scrolling — and you catch yourself thinking, "I don't know why, but I keep buying the same kinds of things… and it never actually fixes the problem."   You're not shopping wildly or buying random stuff. You're choosing pieces that make sense. Things you genuinely like. And yet, your closet still feels incomplete.   In this episode, I want to unpack why shopping becomes the go-to solution even when you're trying to be intentional, why so many "wardrobe gaps" aren't actually real, and what changes when you stop trying to fix your style with more pieces — and learn how to use what you already own instead.   This isn't about willpower. And it's not about needing better clothes. It's about a styling skill most of us were never taught. And once you understand it, everything starts to feel calmer, clearer, and way less emotional. So let's get into it, friend.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ ⭐️ JOIN THE FREE SHOP YOUR CLOSET CHALLENGE from January 27-29, 2026: https://herstylellc.com/challenge   Related Episodes: 280 – Too Many Clothes and Nothing to Wear? 5 Steps to Break the Cycle 259 – The Link Between Your Style Type and Shopping Habits (and How to Make Them Work Together) 103 – How To Break the Cycle of Wearing the Same Thing Over and Over

Antonio Bonfiglio, GWOT Iraq combat veteran, in Episode 231 of the Transition Drill Podcast explores transition and identity for veterans and first responders navigating the messy middle between “who I was” and “who I'm becoming.” You'll hear Antonio on combat deployments, what it takes to rebuild your life, and working for the Wounded Warrior Project.The episodes begins by naming a lie he's told himself on repeat: that he's tough. Not tough in the “I can handle anything” way, but tough as a posture, a defense he learned early. He grew up the short, sickly kid in a loud, old school household, always trying to prove he belonged. His family story is its own wild thing too: his dad was 30 years older than his mom, and Antonio grew up with three much older half-siblings who were closer in age to his mom than to him.He was born in New Jersey, raised in South Florida, then got pulled back to New Jersey at 13 and hated it. Hockey was his identity in Florida, and when that fell away, he started chasing status in the wrong places. He talks about a going-away party, getting caught with weed when the cops showed up, and how fast one “stupid decision” can change how your parents see you and what doors stay open.In 2003, he enlists in the Marine Corps on an open contract and ships off to Parris Island. He goes from boot camp to Marine Combat Training to combat engineer school, then hits his first unit in November 2003: 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. His first deployment is January 2005, was to Fallujah right after Operation Phantom Fury. To the question “where did you grow up,” Antonio often says, “Iraq.” He shares the kind of stories that sound funny until you feel what's underneath them.After the Marines, Antonio runs into the next kind of fight: school, work, relationships, and trying to fit into normal life while still acting like everything's a mission. He talks about using education benefits, clashing with a professor, trying to get hired by the NYPD, and watching his life drift into dead end jobs, partying, gaining weight, and a layoff in the 2009 economic collapse. The throughline isn't perfection. It's the honest look at how a “tough guy” identity can protect you early, then trap you later, until you finally decide to change how you're living.Today he's turned his life around, he's now married and has a couple children. He's been working for the Wounded Warrior Project for the past 6 years, and though he's helping other's who, “raised their right hand” as a physical fitness instructor, he's found his own treatment helping others through their journey. His new passions are sailing and jiu-jitsu, both he found through veteran non-profits.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.

主播：Meimei（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：Pink Skies当下，Z世代热词（Gen Z slang）在Instagram、TikTok等社交平台迅速走红（on fire），许多新奇表达不断涌现，这些热词还逐渐成为人们日常交流的常用语。今天我们就来聊一聊Z世代的流行热词（popular slang）。01. Online Slang 线上俚语1）Cyber pickle 电子榨菜Cyber pickle就是在我们大脑需要放松（a mental break）的时候刷（scroll through）的电子内容。Cyber：赛博，与互联网相关的。 Pickle：美式腌黄瓜，是外国人的下饭榨菜。所以，如果有人说：“My go-to cyber pickle is crime shows.”这就意味着犯罪题材的剧（crime show）是他最爱刷的“电子榨菜”。��两位主播的cyber pickle是什么呢？For Meimei:Korean dating show (韩国恋爱综艺) is her cyber pickle. For Maelle:她并没有一个特定的cyber pickle，因为她想try to be more intentional (专注的)。She wants to focus on chewing (咀嚼) her food when she eats. 2)Snatched 迷人的，有魅力的例如：“She looks snatched.”意思就是：“She looks amazing!”Like her outfit (服装), makeup (妆容), everything is on point (一切都恰到好处).除此之外，snatched本身也有“身材紧致有型”的意思，跟stunning有点像，同样表示“状态在线、颜值超高”。所以想要夸一个人的身材或者颜值，就可以说：“You look snatched today！”“Snatched” is very much a compliment (赞美). 当别人posts a nice outfit picture（发布了一张漂亮的穿搭照片），也可以用到“snatched”这个单词。例如：“I love your outfit! You look snatched!”3）Doomscrolling 阴暗刷屏（指在社交网络上频繁浏览负面、消极的信息）Doom：末日、厄运Scroll：滚动，上下滑动屏幕Doomscrolling means endlessly (不断地) scrolling through bad or stressful (让人有压力的) content. 例如：坏消息（bad news），戏剧（drama），或者是阴谋视频（conspiracy videos）。通俗易懂一些来讲，doomscrolling就是以一种“明明很焦虑还停不下来”的状态刷手机，而且刷的都是一些比较负能量的内容。That's awful.有时候社交媒体确实会吸引人们去做endless scrolling。People will become addicted to it (上瘾) and can't stop themselves. 大家知道这样做不好，但是有时还是会不由自主地fall into it。除此之外，doomscrolling也可以是一种夸张的表达。哪怕现在刷的不是负面内容，但是在手机上一刷就停不下来也可以说是doomscrolling。下次再有朋友在你旁边“疯狂”刷手机，你就可以说：“Talk to me! Stop doomscrolling!”02. Offline Slang 线下俚语1）Social suicide 社死Social：社交的Suicide：自我毁灭People use it when they do something super awkward or embarrassing (尴尬的) in public (在公众场合).例如：Wearing pajamas (睡衣) to a job interview (面试) is social suicide.2）Caught off guard 破防了It means something really surprised or shocked you.Guard：防备所以off guard就是“没有防备”。当你在没有防备的时候被抓到（get caught），就是中文里说的“破防了”。例如，你看到前任和别人订婚时，可能会说：“That really caught me off guard”。或者是你看到了一条shocking news，你可能会说：“This news caught me off guard!”3）Social butterfly 社牛A social butterfly is someone who loves going out, meeting people, and making friends everywhere. 这类人群像小蝴蝶一样在各种场合到处飞来飞去，非常形象。社牛们不会错过任何social occasions（社交场合），and they can talk to anyone.03. Crossover Slang 线上线下通用俚语1）Ghosting 不读不回不解释（玩消失）Ghost：鬼魂Ghosting：像鬼魂一样突然消失People use it when someone they were talking to — especially in dating (约会) — just stops replying (回复). 这有点像是“玩消失”，本来约会聊得好好的突然就联系不上了。例如：“I thought we had a great date... but then I got ghosted.”“我以为我们的约会很愉快，没想到我被玩消失了。”2）Okay boomer 行吧，老古董Boomer：婴儿潮一代，指的是1946-1964年之间出生的这一代人，现在属于中老年群体。所以叫一个人boomer其实就是在调侃对方的心态和行为太老派了。It's cheeky (调皮), but also a little sarcastic (讽刺).例如，你的朋友发表了一个老派的观点，你就可以说：“Okay boomer～”。3）Netflix and chill 浪漫轻松的氛围Netflix：网飞，美国最大的视频流媒之一。这个slang和约会有关。It can just mean hanging out (闲逛). 但通常情况下，它是暗示暧昧（flirty）或浪漫氛围（romantic vibe）的一种较为casual（随意）的表达方式。就像情侣之间约着一起看Netflix，其实更多的是在指浪漫放松的约会。如果你想和你爱的人一起约会，你就可以说：“Hey, do you want to Netflix and chill?”由于现在大部分年轻人的约会内容就是一起追剧吃饭，所以像Netflix这种巨头追剧媒体，久而久之也就成了约会的代名词。04. Why These Words Matter? 为什么这些俚语很重要呢？这些slang可以反映出年轻人的很多心理状态。例如：Show stress (压力)：doomscrolling.Show confidence (自信)：snatched, social butterfly.现在的年轻人更加关注自我的表达，用俚语调侃生活、连接彼此。That's why language evolves (进化) — to reflect how people feel and live.欢迎大家在评论区留言：Which slang word are you adding to your vocabulary today?你会把哪个俚语加入到你今天的词库呢？

Mike Tomlin stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a seismic moment in the AFC North, and it's a development that directly benefits the Cincinnati Bengals. After nearly two decades of unmatched stability, leadership, and competitiveness in Pittsburgh, the Steelers now enter an era of uncertainty—while the Bengals remain firmly in their championship window. For years, Tomlin was the constant obstacle standing in Cincinnati's way. Even during seasons when the Steelers lacked elite quarterback play or top-tier talent, Tomlin's teams were disciplined, physical, and extremely difficult to put away. He consistently kept Pittsburgh relevant in the AFC North race and made divisional matchups against the Bengals intense, unpredictable, and costly. With Tomlin gone, that institutional advantage disappears overnight. From a football standpoint, coaching turnover almost always brings short-term regression. A new head coach means new systems, new terminology, and a locker room that must reset its identity. That transition period is exactly what a team like the Bengals can exploit. Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the core of Cincinnati's roster already understand their system and expectations. Continuity matters in the NFL, and right now, the Bengals have it while the Steelers don't. There's also a psychological shift at play. Tomlin was the face of Steelers football and a symbol of confidence within the division. His departure changes the balance of power and gives Cincinnati a chance to assert itself as the AFC North's most stable and authoritative franchise. Free agents, draft strategy, and player development in Pittsburgh may all be impacted during this transition, creating further opportunity for Cincinnati to pull ahead. In a division defined by toughness and margins, losing a coach like Mike Tomlin is more than symbolic—it's a competitive opening. And for the Bengals, it couldn't come at a better time.

Adoption: Neither Rejection Nor Abandonment Could Stop God’s Adoption Plan Introduction The Lies We've Let Ourselves Believe The Phrases of Abandonment and Rejection i.      “I’m not good enough and I need to be perfect or successful to be worthy of love.” ii.      “Everyone secretly hates me and no one wants me around.” iii.      “My emotions are too big to control, so I’m consumed by my anger and rage.” iv.      “I should feel shame and fear [about my life or life experiences].” v.      “I need to medicate the deep internal isolation/rejection I feel with [a physical stimulus].” vi.      “I have no worth beyond what I can provide.” vii.      “I’m a victim to circumstances I can’t escape.” viii.      “I cannot find rest in this world.” ix.      “No one else will ever understand me or what I’m going through.” x.      “I’m in competition with other people; there’s not ‘enough’ for all of us.” What We Say About Ourselves Matters i.      Key Scripture: Proverbs 18:21 [MSG] ii.      There's an enemy on the prowl 1.      1 Peter 5:8 2.      John 10:10 iii.      There’s an enemy on the prowl; he is looking to steal, kill, and destroy, but he has no real power over you. His time and power are limited and he’s looking for you to let him in. Your words can be his way in. iv.      Book Recommendation: Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left out, and Lonely by Lysa Terkeurst v.      We have to confront the lies we have allowed ourselves to believe. Jesus did not redeem you so that you can still be stuck believing that your temporary circumstances still define who you are. BUT GOD! Key Scripture: Ephesians 1:5 The Details of Adoption i.      Greek word transliterated into “huiothesia.” ii.      Huiothesia is derived from two Greek words: “huios” meaning “son” and “tithemi” meaning “to place, put, or set.” iii.      Huiothesia literally translates to “placing as a son.” iv.      Additional Scriptures where huiothesia is used: Romans             8:15, Romans 8:23, Romans 9:4, Galatians 4:5 New Testament View on Adoption i.      Roman adoption was almost always something that happened to an adult, not a child Key point: You belonging, your adoption into a new family, was always the plan. Scripture vs. The Lies We Believe Lie: “I’m not good enough and I need to be perfect or successful to be worthy of love” i.      Scripture: Ephesians 2:10 ii.      Key point: You've already been called a masterpiece; the worth is already there. Lie: “Everyone secretly hates me and no one wants me around.” i.      Scripture: Psalm 139:14 ii.      Key point: How can someone shaped by God Himself not be wanted? This is a voice that’s meant to draw you into isolation, don’t follow it… Lie: “My emotions are too big to control, so I’m consumed by my anger and rage.” i.      Scriptures: Romans 12:21; Galatians 5:16, 19-21 ii.      Key point: Hey, all emotions are valid, all behavior is not. The Spirit of the LORD can and will help you not be consumed by your emotions. Lie: “I should feel shame and fear [about my life or life experiences]” i.      Scriptures: Romans 8:33-34; 2 Timothy 1:7 ii.      Key point: It’s okay to leave behind fear and shame. Lie: “I need to medicate the deep internal isolation/rejection I feel with [a physical stimulus].” i.      Scripture: Colossians 2:10 ii.      Key point: You can't find the healing and fulfillment you're craving anywhere else. Every “solution” will be temporary (yes, even healthy ones) when they’re not paired with Christ. When we draw near to God, He draws near to us and this is where healing actually begins. Lie: “I have no worth beyond what I can provide.” i.      Scripture: Romans 5:6-8(MSG) ii.      Key point: We, you and I both, had nothing to offer God. No skill, no talent, no resource, no activity He was interested in, no nothing. He thought and thinks you’re valuable in spite of that detail. We don’t need to beg for “scraps of His love” by presenting Him with our accomplishments, you already are loved and therefore have worth. Additionally, in relationships sometimes you will be the one giving help and other times you'll be the one receiving it, but both times you still have the same worth! Lie: “I’m a victim of circumstances I can’t escape.” i.      Scriptures: Psalm 71:20; 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 ii.      Key point: Your suffering hasn’t gone unnoticed and while it can fool you into believing there is no escape, you are not destroyed. Turn your eyes towards God who has created an escape for you, so that with Him you may be able to bear. Lie: “I cannot find rest in this world.” i.      Scriptures: Isaiah 40:30-31(NKJV); Matthew 11:28 ii.      Key point: I want to point out that to grow weary is not a fault of yours; it’s not some defect exclusive to you…it’s okay to be tired. Even the youths get tired, but here’s the Good News: the wait is over. There’s a lighter burden available, but we need to see it in the spiritual. However, there is a choice to be made: we must choose to come. Lie: “No one else will ever understand me or what I’m going through.” i.      Scriptures: Psalm 139:1-2; John 15:18; Hebrews 12:3 ii.      Key point: Please excuse my sense of humor, but you’re not that special…There’s nothing new under the sun (Ecc 1:9); suffering is not unique to you, it's the human condition. The LORD knows everything about you AND our suffering Savior knows exactly how you feel. You’re not crying out to someone who isn’t empathetic. His innocence met hostility and mistreatment, it’s not an experience unique to you…let Him comfort you. Lie: “I’m in competition with other people; there’s not ‘enough’ for all of us.” i.      Key point: Maybe this isn’t one you’ve said out loud or even admitted to yourself, but I wonder if it has shown up in your behavior. Desperate for acceptance and successful relationships we begin to act out of scarcity. Seeing the success of others begins to make you feel like there’s now somehow less success available for you. The success of their relationship means there is now less opportunity for you. Now suddenly you’re in secret competition with the people you should be praying for. A scarcity mindset is unbelief and comparison kills joy. Be the best YOU because that's who God made you! ii.      Scripture: 1st the admonishment — James 3:14-15 iii.      Scripture: 2nd the truth – 2 Corinthians 9:8 iv.      Scripture: 3rd the requirement – Philippians 2:4 v.      There is a God who is big enough to see and provide for all of us and any statement otherwise is a lie from the pit of hell. Still Room for Improvement Key Scripture: Romans 8:1 Am I Part of the Problem? i.      Understanding your identity as a child of God doesn't mean you just become a perfect person. Wearing a Kingdom identity well requires us to do some work. ii.      An Illustration from King David 1.      Innocent David a.       Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18:28-29; 19:1-5, 9 2.      Not so innocent David a.       Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:1-9 3.      Two things can be true at once: 1) we can be innocent and be mistreated and 2) we can behave in ways that produce negative outcomes. We need to be aware of both. 4.      Trauma shaped identities can cause turmoil in our relationships and result in people not wanting to be around us. This is not persecution; it’s the direct consequence of our undesirable behavior. Fooled By Our Sin Nature i.      “God made me like this.” With love, He didn't. ii.      Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24 1.      God can (and will) reveal to us the parts of our identities that we have taken on that are not from Him. Sin has distorted our standard of right and wrong; this means it’s not safe for us to rely solely on our own thoughts. iii.      Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:5 1.      Genuine faith should produce obedience and faith and obedience produces Christ-like behavior. 2.      We must repent, turn away from, and make amends when our behaviors cause harm or else we will never maintain and experience the fullness of relationship with others and this is a detriment to our spiritual family and our Kingdom assignment. Conclusion: Taking on a New Identity Key scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 i.      There is no need to identify ourselves by our hurts, struggles, or failures. There is a more important title for you: An heir to the Kingdom of God. Here’s another one: Beloved Child of God. ii.      It has always been God’s pIan to welcome you home to Him. Please put on and live out your proper identity, the Kingdom needs its workers. Closing Scripture: John 1:12-13

When you picture lace, what comes to mind: an old-fashioned once-white piece of Victorian embellishment? The elegant, possibly itchy decoration on a wedding gown? If you are a needleworker, you might picture an array of bobbins leashed to a cluster of pins and arrayed on a pillow, or a tatting shuttle, or a steel crochet hook. All of these images would be correct—but capture the tiniest slice of the world's laces. As a PhD student, Elena Kanagy-Loux considers lace through the lenses of history, culture, and gender. How have textile artisans around the world developed lace strutures? Who was making lace—and who was wearing it? (For what matter, what is lace, anyway?) Beyond our assumptions about lace are delightful surprises: Wearing lace previously denoted power and wealth rather than femininity. Traditional lace may include a riot of color. Although they look delicate, lace fabrics can be surprisingly durable. Outside her academic pursuits, Elena takes a more hands-on view of lace. Having studied a variety of methods, she fell in love with bobbin lace, which seemed to click in her mind when she sat down at a lacemaking pillow. Like most of our readers, Elena generally creates lace for her own interest and enjoyment, though she has accepted several notable commissions: a collar presented to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Columbia Law School on the 25th anniversary of her investiture to the Supreme court, and a collar designed for the Threads of Power exhibit (https://www.bgc.bard.edu/exhibitions/exhibitions/118/threads-of-power) at the Bard Graduate Center. In addition to her own work, she teaches extensively, finding an audience of needleworkers eager to learn bobbin lace or improve their skills. She co-founded the Brooklyn Lace Guild, which offers classes as well as a community of lacemakers Elena often hears from non-makers, “Isn't that a dying art?” She replies—in her classes, her needlework, and her wardrobe (which often includes lace in her colorful, contemporary style)—“Lacemaking is a thriving art!” Links Elena Kanagy-Loux's website (https://elenakanagyloux.carbonmade.com/) Find Elena on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/erenanaomi), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@elenakanagy-loux3846), and TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@erenanaomi) Thr Brooklyn Lace Guild (https://www.brooklynlaceguild.com/), which Elena co-founded, is hosting its first exhibition, “Little Lace: The Work of Brooklyn Lace Guild,” (https://www.brooklynlaceguild.com/exhibitions) from October 10, 2024, through January 11, 2025.

Imagine creating a swimsuit so good it would have to be banned. That's what Jason Rance and his team at Speedo did ahead of the Beijing Olympic Games in August 2008. Wearing the LZR Racer swimsuit, United States swimmer Michael Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the Water Cube. Athletes wearing the swimsuit would shatter 30 world records in the space of three months.The reduction in skin friction drag was so significant, some called it "technological doping". The suit developed with space agency Nasa had no seams, featured a special water-repellent fabric and had a design covering the legs which lifted the swimmer's hips in the water. It caused a furore with athletes ditching sponsorship agreements with rival firms to get hold of it. A slew of copycats came on the market before the design was banned from future competitions. Jason Rance who was the head of Speedo's research and development Aqualab, reveals to Josephine McDermott the behind-the-scenes development which would turn competitive swimming on its head.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony. Sporting Witness is for those fascinated by sporting history. We take you to the events that have shaped the sports world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes, you become a fan in the stands as we take you back in time to examine memorable victories and agonising defeats from all over the world. You'll hear from people who have achieved sporting immortality, or those who were there as incredible sporting moments unfolded.Recent episodes explore the forgotten football Women's World Cup, the plasterer who fought a boxing legend, international football's biggest ever beating and the man who swam the Amazon river.

Piping hot drama

Today, Paul M. Neuberger exposes the truth behind the label “Christian nationalism.” Not with fear. Not with retreat. With clarity, courage, and conviction. The world throws slurs. The culture strategizes shame. But we don't flinch. We don't soften our stance. We don't apologize for Christ's authority over every corner of life.The cost? Intimidation. Ridicule. Pressure to silence and conform. But brothers and sisters—Jesus is still Lord in the boardroom, in the marketplace, in our nation. When the headline comes for you, and the pressure mounts—will you stand firm?Ready yourself. This episode is raw, real, and rooted in truth. Buckle up. Faith doesn't stop at agreement—it launches us into bold action.Are you ready to stand?"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance." –Psalm 33:12Episode Highlights:01:59 – This episode isn't about politics. First, it's about lordship. It's about authority. It's about whether Jesus reigns over every area of life or whether we've agreed to keep him confined to Sunday mornings while the culture dictates everything else. We're going to educate you, we're going to expose what's really happening, we're going to strip the propaganda away, and we're going to prepare you not to be angry, not to be reckless, but to be bold, grounded, and completely unmovable. Because the days of apologetic Christianity are over.20:11 – A nation shaped by biblical truth is not something to dread. In fact, it's something to be desired. Scripture is remarkably consistent on this point. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. That verse doesn't come with a footnote saying only in private or only inside church walls. Of course, it's a declaration of reality. Nations are either ordered towards righteousness or they drift toward decay. There is not a third option.33:29 – Fear loses its grip. Shame dissolves, clarity replaces confusion. The enemy expects retreat, but instead encounters resolve. Wearing a label as a badge of honor doesn't mean embracing a false definition. It means refusing to be intimidated by accusation. It means recognizing that obedience will always provoke resistance in a world that rejects God.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I'm Marty and I thought we'd get to some more questions today, another Ask Me Anything episode. We had some really good ones come in, a couple of topics I've been wanting to get to myself. Let's start off with this one from Carol, a forklift operator in the distribution industry. Carol feels there's a trend developing where managers are expecting employees to do more than they were hired to. I hear this concern fairly often. When I was a counterbalance or sit-down lift operator, in a production facility, that's what I did the whole shift. Even when I was an operator at a distribution center I typically drove for, like maybe, 80% of my day. I'd have to stop and down stack a load every once and a while or maybe partially fill a pick location or make the occasional replenishment. But I drove the lift most of the time. That was a long time ago though. I think our light-industrial workplaces, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers are different now and for a lot of reasons. Yes, people are being asked to wear more hats. There's more cross-training. More flexibility being demanded from us. More expectations to help outside of what used to be a very narrow job description. And for some folks, that creates frustration. You hear phrases like, that's not my job, that's not what I was hired to do, and that's not in my job description. But the truth is, those days are disappearing. And I want to spend a few minutes today talking about the why, and more importantly, why that's not a bad thing when we look at it the right way. Let's just be honest with ourselves. Light-industrial operations today are different than they were just 5 years ago. Volumes change daily now. Staffing levels fluctuate. Customer and client expectations are higher than ever. Same day and next day shipping isn't a luxury anymore, it's the standard. Operations can't stop just because one person is out or one department is short. We've learned that everything is connected. Inbound affects outbound. Picking affects loading. Forklift operations affect inventory accuracy. One weak link slows the entire chain down. For those reasons and a few others is where cross training comes in. Cross training isn't about making people work harder, it's about making operations more stable and consistent. It creates flexibility. It gives leaders options. And it keeps work moving when things don't go exactly as planned, which, and since we're being honest, happens a lot in our industry. Now let's talk about that phrase, That's not my job. I understand where it comes from. For a long time, jobs were very narrowly defined. You did one task, one function, and that was it. But that model doesn't work well anymore, not in our industry anyway.  When everyone stays locked into a single box, operations become, what's a good word here, challenging I'll say. One call off, one delay, one surge in volume, or orders, or trucks, and suddenly the whole shift is behind. Employers today are looking for team players. People who understand their main role, certainly, but who are also willing to help the operation succeed when needed. Now, that doesn't mean job descriptions don't matter. They do. But they've shifted from rigid rulebooks into broader descriptions.  And that shift is an opportunity. Here's something you know I strongly believe, learning more can never be a bad thing. When you learn another role, you gain perspective. When you gain perspective, you make better decisions. And when you make better decisions, you become more valuable. Remember how many times you've heard me say how important it is to learn the position before and after ours, where that case just came from and where it's going after we've touched it! A picker who understands receiving makes fewer mistakes. A forklift operator who understands outbound stages freight better. An associate who's helped with inventory control starts paying closer attention to accuracy. Cross training builds awareness, and awareness improves safety, quality, and productivity. That benefits the company, yes, but it also benefits us employees as well. From a career standpoint, wearing more than one hat, to use a recruiters phrase, is a plus. The more skills you have, the more valuable you become, not just to your present employer, but to the industry as a whole. When someone can share with a hiring agent or recruiter, I've worked inbound, outbound, this or that type of equipment, and inventory, that gets noticed. Those are the people who get tapped for lead roles. Those are the people who stay employable when things tighten up or change. Many supervisors, managers, and operations leaders didn't get there because they stayed in one lane forever. They got there because they were willing to learn one more process, help one more department, and take on one more responsibility. That's how careers are built in this industry. Now, let's be clear here though. This doesn't mean accepting unsafe work practices, and it doesn't mean skipping training. It doesn't mean being taken advantage of in any way. Employers have a responsibility here too. Cross training should be structured. It should be safe. Expectations should be clear. No one should be thrown into a role without proper instruction or support. When done right, cross training builds confidence instead of resentment. With that being said I'll take this opportunity to remind us all to never get on a piece of powered industrial equipment without being trained and certified to operate it. And that goes for production or manufacturing machines also. For us employees, I think mindset matters. If you see cross-training as punishment, it will feel like punishment. And if you see it as opportunity, it becomes one. Asking questions. Being curious. Showing interest in how the operation works as a whole, those things send a powerful message. They say I care about my job. I care about my team. I care about my future. I promise you that attitude gets noticed every single time. Our light-industrial world rewards adaptability. The people who keep learning stay relevant longer. The ones who refuse to grow often struggle when processes change or roles disappear. Wearing more than one hat prepares you for what's next, whether that's a lead position, a specialized role, or simply long-term job security. It builds confidence. It builds competence. And it builds careers. Next up is a question from, well, they didn't include their name, but the question was, how could I get or ask for a raise. Well, that's a fair question. And a little complicated question, especially in our light industrial, warehouse, and distribution environments. Ok, lets look at how pay works, what managers are actually looking for, and how you can put yourself in the best position when opportunities come up. First, we need to understand the business side. In most light industrial operations, wages are set by position. General labor could pay a certain range, Forklift operators will have a range, Inventory control, leads, supervisors, etc, all of our roles are budgeted for well in advance. Companies don't usually have the flexibility to give raises on the spot. Pay increases are planned during budget cycles, performance reviews, promotions, or when new responsibilities are added. Now that doesn't mean raises don't happen. It means they are earned, planned for, and justified. So instead of thinking, How do I ask for more money? I'd ask, how do I make myself worth more to the operation? How can I make my manager notice me? It’s important to know that managers notice patterns, not promises. The associates who get raises and promotions aren't usually the loudest. They're the most consistent. Here's what always got my attention. First was attendance. And we talk about this all the time. Showing up on time, every shift, matters more than almost anything else. In a productivity driven environment, reliability is everything. When a manager knows they can count on you, you're already ahead. Second is attitude. Of course this doesn't mean every day has to be perfect. But staying professional, avoiding constant negativity, and being that solution focused team member makes a difference. Positive employees strengthen teams, and managers notice that. Third, and here's that statement again, a willingness to learn and cross train. Again, Cross training is huge. Like we mentioned earlier, when you raise your hand to learn another role, another department, or another piece of equipment, you increase your value. You also make scheduling easier for your management team and that matters. And, Fourth would be ownership. Take responsibility for your work. Follow safety rules. Follow procedures. If you make a mistake, own it and fix it. That level of maturity builds trust and will get us noticed as well. Now lets talk about how to have that conversation.  Walking into an office and saying, I need a raise, usually doesn't get us very far. A better approach would sound something like this. I understand pay is based on positions and budgets. I enjoy working here and I want to grow. What do you need to see from me to be considered for a raise or promotion when the opportunity comes up? That shows professional maturity, it shows respect for the business. And something like that opens a productive conversation. Now you've turned a raise request into a development and growth plan. In our industry, raises often come through movement. General labor to equipment operator. Pallet runner to selector, receiver to inventory control, fork driver to lead. Lead to supervisor. Etc. Those steps may come with structured pay increases. But you don't get there by waiting, you get there by preparing and planning. I've experience that Managers promote people who are already doing parts of the next job. Oh, and I want to mention that some positions, especially in distribution may have something like productivity pay or activity based pay, like a high productivity order selection environment, maybe even a tiered pay structure based on CPH or PPH. Where we're paid based on what we do individually. I want us to remember though that a raise isn't just about today's paycheck. It's about your future. The associates who consistently show up, stay engaged, and keep learning are the ones managers think of when new roles open up. Those opportunities usually start with something like hey, we've got something coming up, and we thought of you. That doesn't happen by accident. So if you're asking how to get a raise, here's the honest answer, I know it's not a simple answer but we need to be reliable, be positive, be willing to learn, be ready for more before you ask for more. That's how raises and careers are built in the light industrial world. Well, I got to talking too much and ran out of time! I hope you got the answers you wanted. I know all that seems simple, and did you notice how and that we, ourselves, in this industry anyway, can control more of our direction and path than what we may have thought we could.

It's 2 a.m. when a young man jolts awake in his bed. Still groggy, he sits up, confused about what pulled him from sleep, until he notices a strange figure standing motionless near his wardrobe, half-swallowed by the darkness. He calls out to his roommate. The figure slowly turns to face him. Its eyes are hollow, empty of anything human. And in that moment, he realizes the truth: it isn't his roommate at all. It's just wearing his face... Follow Be.

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim sits down with Sam, the founder of SB Swimwear, to talk about his lifelong love of Speedos, how CrossFit helped spark a viral moment, and what led him to launch his own swimwear brand—designed and manufactured in Italy. Born and raised in Italy, Sam grew up wearing Speedos as the norm, from childhood beach days to swimming workouts. That early comfort carried into adulthood, CrossFit training, and eventually competition—where a Speedo-only workout in Miami went viral and helped grow his Instagram following. From there, the idea for SB Swimwear was born. Sam shares how he worked closely with an Italian manufacturer in Tuscany, leaned on family support, and refined a classic swim brief cut designed to work just as well for swimming laps as it does for beach lounging. The result is a clean, confident design launched first in red, followed by white and blue—colors that nod to both his Italian roots and American identity. The conversation also dives into: • Why Speedos are more functional than board shorts • How body confidence develops over time • Wearing swim briefs beyond the beach (including competitions and hiking) • Customer reactions from around the world • The slow cultural shift toward swim briefs making a comeback • Advice for guys who want to wear Speedos but feel hesitant Sam also opens up about what success looks like for him—not just sales, but seeing customers feel more confident in their own skin. If you've ever thought about wearing a swim brief, designing your own gear, or challenging outdated ideas around masculinity and swimwear, this episode is for you.

https://teachhoops.com/⁠ The debate over ankle braces is one of the most persistent topics in basketball, with coaches, trainers, and parents often split on the best approach. In this episode, we dive into the pros and cons of prophylactic ankle bracing versus traditional taping. We break down the cost-benefit analysis, looking not just at the price of tape versus a one-time brace purchase, but also at the effectiveness of each method after 15 minutes of sweating and intense gameplay. We also tackle the biggest myth surrounding this topic: the idea that wearing braces will weaken a player's ankles over time. We look at what the actual research says about "dependency" and whether external support leads to muscle atrophy, or if that is just old-school coaching folklore. We discuss the importance of distinguishing between reliance on a brace and using it as a necessary insurance policy, especially for players with a history of recurrent sprains. Finally, we explore the balance between protection and performance. Does locking down an ankle limit a player's vertical jump or agility? We discuss the concept of the "kinetic chain"—the fear that bracing the ankle might transfer force to the knee—and how to mitigate that risk through proper strength and mobility training. Whether you are considering a team-wide mandate or just advising a player coming off an injury, this episode gives you the facts to make an informed decision. Learn more about your ad choices.
