Podcasts about Weathering

A divided America agrees on one thing: most folks don't want new data centers in their communities. But do data centers live up to their sour reputation as water and electricity gluttons? Or are they, in fact, a 21st Century version of the automobile – an innovation deemed dangerous at first, but eventually a means to community advancement and prosperity? Steven Koonin, the Hoover Institution's Edward Teller Senior Fellow and an energy policy expert, discusses what's behind data-center NIMBYism and whether America will rise to the challenge of a greater demand for electricity in the near future as artificial intelligence and the needs of an increasingly information-intensive society and economy continue to reshape the nation's landscape. Also discussed: the US Energy Department's embrace of a “golden age of nuclear energy” (speaking of technology that once spawned NIMBY discontent), an evolving climate change debate (why does the UN bother to celebrate “climate weeks”?) and an emergency-mode California bracing for an El Niño event that's expected to submerge vast portions of the Golden State in the coming months.    

This week on Weathering the Run, I'm joined by professional ultrarunner, thru-hiker, author and podcast host Jeff Garmire. Jeff and I talk about his incredible adventures on the trails, the role weather can play in big endurance efforts, and the experiences that have shaped him as an ultrarunner and adventurer. We also dig into the mindset required to take on ambitious challenges and what keeps Jeff coming back for more miles outside. Jeff is also the host of Free Outside, a podcast covering trail running, ultrarunning, thru-hiking, backpacking and outdoor adventure.

The Utes went on the road into Jack Trice Stadium, weathered a third-quarter storm, and walked away with a 31-17 victory over Iowa State to start Big 12 play 1-0. In this episode, host Josh Furlong breaks down Utah's hard-fought road win, analyzes the national perception surrounding the program, and welcomes college football insider Jon Wilner for his weekly Big 12 Hotline update: Devon Dampier's evolution: Why Dampier's passing — including a dime to Braden Pegan up the seam — shows the game is officially slowing down for Utah's quarterback. Wayshawn Parker's complete game: Parker had 174 yards on the ground and hauled in a receiving touchdown to prove he's much more than just a one-trick threat. Weathering adversity in Ames: How the team responded to Iowa State's third-quarter surge and answered with physical, tone-setting football. Big 12 Hotline with Jon Wilner: Wilner returns to discuss why Utah and BYU look like the two best-coached, most balanced teams in the conference and the monumental stakes brewing for the Nov. 7 game in Salt Lake City.   Follow Josh Furlong on social media platform X @Josh_Furlong or on Instagram @jfurksl.

My assistants and I have chosen special, old podcast episodes to share with you so that I can take a break from that for a few weeks. After all these years of sharing my life and encouragement with you, there are some episodes that have particularly resonated with my listeners and that have had the most listens. I am looking forward to sharing these episodes with you over the next few weeks. Today's archive episode is about weathering the storms of life and my book, 'Help, I'm Drowning,' from 2021.

"The market is holding its breath for Micron (MU)," says Jeffrey Small, noting it and several macro indicators keeping investors on edge. One of those macro headwinds includes higher interest rates and tentative impacts to earnings growth. Jeffrey talks about stocks he sees weathering the volatility, pointing to Nvidia (NVDA) as a long-standing opportunity, along with power companies like GE Vernova (GEV) and Constellation Energy (CEG). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Cornell University geochemist Louis Derry joins @geoengineering1 to discuss a fundamental question for enhanced rock weathering: how much of the alkalinity generated in soils actually makes it through watersheds to the ocean? Derry argues that many studies and commercial MRV approaches focus on the top 10-30 cm of soil, potentially missing critical processes along the full flow path, including ion exchange in acidic soils, secondary clay formation, acidity generation and carbonate precipitation, which can reduce alkalinity export before it reaches streams.He highlights hydrological constraints, arguing that limited runoff and realistic alkalinity concentrations make proposed removal rates of 5-10 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare per year difficult to achieve across typical row-crop regions. Drawing on natural basaltic catchments and experimental systems, he points to estimates of global basalt weathering of ~0.1-0.2 Gt CO₂/yr, suggesting gigaton-scale enhanced weathering projections are overoptimistic, with co-benefits more credible than large-scale CDR. Paper Discussed: Derry, L. A., Maher, K., & Chadwick, O. A. (2026). Critical zone processes limit alkalinity export from natural basaltic systems.

Dr. Kudzai Dombo is a board certified OBGYN, educator, and one of the leading voices in elevating conversations around women of color and their healthcare journey.We start with the SWAN study, a 25-year longitudinal multiracial, multi-ethnic cohort study that enrolled over 3,300 women between the ages of 42 and 52. It remains one of the most important sources of information we have on how menopause affects women differently across racial and ethnic groups. What it found is striking: Black women are more likely to experience worse vasomotor symptoms, their hot flashes last on average 10 years compared to 6.5 for white women, and they tend to enter menopause about 1.2 years earlier. Hispanic women also enter the menopausal transition earlier, with symptoms lasting on average about 9 years. These are not small differences.We talk about why these disparities exist, including the concept of weathering, the chronic stress load carried by Black women navigating systemic racism that accelerates biological aging, and what allostatic load actually means in the body. We get into social determinants of health, what they are, how they shape who gets equitable care and who does not, and why implicit bias is not a character flaw but a phenomenon every clinician needs to examine continuously.We also get personal. Dr. Dombo shares what it felt like to be on the other side of the system she works within, and we talk honestly about what patients can do when they feel dismissed, and what clinicians can do before they even walk into the room.This is a conversation about science, equity, and advocacy. And it is one every woman and every clinician needs to hear.Key TakeawaysThe SWAN study, established in 1996, followed over 3,300 women for 25 years and remains the most comprehensive source of data on racial and ethnic differences in the menopause experience.The SWAN study found that Black women slept on average 30 minutes less per night than white women, even though they were less likely to report sleep disturbances — a gap that has significant implications for cardiometabolic health.Weathering is the concept that chronic stress from navigating systemic racism accelerates biological aging in Black women, contributing to earlier and more severe menopause symptoms and higher cardiometabolic disease burden.Social determinants of health include economic stability, access to quality care, food environments, green spaces, and the chronic stress of racial discrimination — all of which shape health outcomes.Only 6.8 percent of US residents felt prepared to prescribe hormone therapy at graduation a statistic that explains a great deal about the care gap women experience.Hot flashes are not benign; the intensity and duration of vasomotor symptoms is linked to cardiovascular risk and brain health, which makes treating them a priority not a preference.Get in Touch with Dr. Dombo:WebsiteInstagramTikTokGet in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Amy Freeze, a meteorologist, innovator, and public safety advocate who has spent decades helping people understand risk when it truly matters. Everywhere I go lately, conversations circle back to AI, but this one brings it out of the abstract and straight into our homes, our screens, and moments where trust can make all the difference. Amy shares her remarkable journey from broadcast journalism to becoming one of the most recognized voices in weather. We talk about her work forecasting major events like Superstorm Sandy and the Joplin tornado, and how those experiences shaped her sense of responsibility to the public. As the first female chief meteorologist in Chicago and a six time Emmy Award winner, her career has been built on credibility and calm communication. What fascinated me most was why she chose to create a digital avatar, and how she sees AI as a way to deliver urgent, accurate information at scale without losing the human connection people rely on in moments of uncertainty. We also dig into the fears and ethical questions surrounding digital twins, AI driven storytelling, and protecting name, image, and likeness. Amy offers a grounded perspective on why avoiding new technology can sometimes create more risk than adopting it thoughtfully. Together, we explore how empathy, trust, and clear storytelling help audiences move past fear toward understanding, especially when the stakes involve safety, language barriers, and real-time decision-making. This conversation reminded me that innovation does not have to feel cold or distant. It can be practical, human, and deeply rooted in care. We talk about how trusted voices evolve with technology, how stories help people accept change, and why the future of AI may depend far less on hype and far more on responsibility, context, and trust.  

Episode OverviewWhat happens to a Southwest Virginia smallmouth fishery when storm after storm rolls through a watershed for weeks on end? On this Southwest Virginia Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with guide and writer Matt Reilly of Matt Reilly Fly Fishing for a late-summer update on a region caught in a relentless rain pattern, with flash floods dumping 6 to 7 inches of rain in an hour on parts of the watershed while the New River holds up comparatively well thanks to its lake-fed flows. Reilly breaks down how he reads clarity river by river and tributary by tributary rather than trusting a single gauge, and why the New River's roughly 95 percent lake-water makeup gives him options even when stream flow numbers spike. The conversation moves into an unusual bright spot for the fishery: several years of strong smallmouth recruitment have produced an abundance of 0 to 3 year old fish in the 11 to 12 inch range, but a noticeable gap in the 12 to 15 inch numbers class, meaning bigger streamers and bugs are drawing pecks from undersized fish rather than solid hookups on true numbers fish. Reilly and Cash also look ahead to the seasonal transition bearing down on the region, with smallmouth season winding down over the next month to six weeks, musky bookings already filling for November and December and striper season deposits coming in for the spring run. It is a practical, conditions-first snapshot for anglers planning a Southwest Virginia trip around shifting water and a fishery in transition.Key TakeawaysHow to read water clarity on a tributary-by-tributary basis rather than trusting a single regional gauge when a watershed is hit by scattered stormsWhy the New River's largely lake-fed flow gives anglers a clarity advantage over tributary-driven systems even when overall stream flow spikesWhy an unusually strong multi-year smallmouth spawn has created a numbers gap, with plenty of small fish but fewer 12 to 15 inch bass than normalWhen to expect the seasonal shift from smallmouth to musky in Southwest VirginiaWhy booking musky, striper and smallmouth trips well in advance matters as Reilly's calendar fills a year or more outTechniques & Gear CoveredReilly's late-summer program currently leans on moving-water tactics suited to diminished clarity and elevated flows, including streamer fishing and aggressive topwater presentations on cloudy, rainy days. He notes that with the current numbers-class gap, fishing bigger streamers and bugs sized for mature smallmouth is producing more short pecks from undersized fish than solid hookups. On the highest-water days, Reilly will fish well past the flow range most anglers consider viable, targeting mid-river slack water and bank structure where fish concentrate once flows push two to three times normal CFS.Locations & SpeciesThe report centers on the New River in Southwest Virginia, where smallmouth bass are the primary late-summer target and the New's largely lake-fed flow gives the system a clarity edge over tributary-driven waters even during heavy rain events. Conditions have been shaped by a stretch of intense, localized storms moving through the Johnson City to Wytheville corridor, producing everything from blown-out tributary water to sections holding good clarity on the same day. Reilly also flags the upcoming seasonal shift, with musky fishing picking up through the New River system from November into winter and a spring striper run drawing early bookings as smallmouth season winds down.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do you find fishable water on the New River during a heavy rain pattern?Reilly watches radar and tributary-specific conditions rather than treating the watershed as one system, since some tributaries blow out quickly while the main New River can stay comparatively clear. Because roughly 95 percent of the New River's flow originates from lake water upstream, the system tends to hold clarity better than more tributary-fed rivers even when overall stream flow numbers rise sharply.Why are anglers getting short strikes on big smallmouth flies right now?Several consecutive years of strong spawning success have filled the river with 0 to 3 year old smallmouth in the 11 to 12 inch range, while the 12 to 15 inch numbers class that anglers normally target with bigger flies is thin this year. The result is a lot of pecks and grabs from fish too small to get the hook, since standard bigger-fly tactics are sized for the missing age class rather than the abundant younger fish.How high is too high to fish the New River with flies?Reilly will fish flows well beyond what most anglers consider viable, including stretches at two to three times the typical CFS range for good fishing, though success rates can drop noticeably at those extremes. At very high flows the fish concentrate into mid-river slack water and bank structure, which can still produce opportunities if anglers focus their presentations there.When does Southwest Virginia transition from smallmouth to musky season?Reilly expects a fairly abrupt seasonal shift over the next month to six weeks as smallmouth fishing wraps up and musky season ramps into November and December. His musky calendar is already booking well into the winter months, alongside early deposits for the following spring's striper run.Related ContentS8, Ep 54 - Weathering the Storm: Matt Reilly on Adapting to Summer Fishing ConditionsS8, Ep 46 - Low Water, Big Bugs: Matt Reilly's Southwest Virginia Fishing UpdateS8, Ep 59 - Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report: Captain Brian Shumaker's Late Summer StrategiesView all Southwest Virginia Fishing Reports with Matt ReillyConnect with Our GuestFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Kevin Rich says an upward-sloping yield curve isn't an outright negative signal for Wall Street, even if it does ring alarm bells for investors. He discusses the dynamics he sees the move creating for the weeks and months ahead as the Fed is "filling sandbags" ahead of Jackson Hole. "We could be in for a choppy few weeks," says Kevin, as the FOMC plot out its path for interest rates as inflation and jobs data show signs of divergence. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

At sea, weather is not background. It shapes safety, aviation, command decisions, operational risk and the ability to work effectively in some of the most demanding conditions on the water.In this episode of Women in Maritime, Julia Gosling speaks with Lt Cdr Fran Crowsley-Allen, Royal Navy Meteorologist, instructor, mother of two and co-chair of the Naval Service Women's Network.Fran originally trained to drive ships before specialising in meteorology and oceanography, where environmental information becomes part of tactical decision-making. Her career has taken her across the world, including work connected to the search for MH370, operations in severe sea states, and now teaching tactical meteorology and oceanography to the next generation.This conversation looks at the role of weather in naval safety, the importance of communicating uncertainty with confidence, and what it means to support command decisions at sea.Fran also speaks about life as a woman at sea, being one of very few women onboard, dual-serving parent life, retention, flexible careers, menopause policy and why the lived experience of women in maritime matters as much as the statistics.A thoughtful and important conversation about service, science, judgement, motherhood, culture and the future of women at sea.Guest: Lt Cdr Fran Crowsley-Allen, Royal Navy MeteorologistHost: Julia GoslingLearn more about the Royal Navy:https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/Royal Navy Careers:https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careersHydrography and Meteorology Specialist:https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/roles/hydrography-and-meteorology-specialistPrefer to read?

Why does God allow storms in our lives? Why are there seasons of opposition and slowing down?

Late summer has always felt like a sacred threshold to me. The garden is overflowing with life, yet there is a quiet awareness that the season is beginning to turn. In this episode, I share some personal reflections on savoring these final weeks of summer and the herbs, foods, and practices that are helping me prepare for the transition into autumn.

At last year's Regenerate conference, I attended a session about climate emotion, led by Addie Candib of American Farmland Trust, in which participants were asked two questions: What is one thing you have lost to climate change? and What helps you build resilience in yourself/your land/your world?  The answers were profound and fascinating. So I decided to ask some of the participants in that session to speak with us on the podcast. Addie Candib introduces the podcast, and then we talk to: Jonathan Cox,Policy Manager with Painterland Sisters Organic Yogurt in Westfield, Pennsylvania Alex and Clare McKeon, Father and daughter ranchers in Oakdale, California Laura Paskus, Environmental writer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico Adrienne Dorsey, Land steward from Durango, Colorado Craig Conley, Land steward in Northern New Mexico

Dr. Joy sits down with neuropsychologist Dr. Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, assistant professor at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center, to talk through what brain health means, why it's broader than mental health alone, and the daily habits that support it: cardiovascular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, stress management, social connection, and quality sleep. They dig into what our phones are doing to us. Dr. Hill-Jarrett breaks down how short-form video triggers a bigger dopamine response than a typical reward, why the unpredictability of a feed keeps us scrolling, and what that means for sleep, attention span, and memory. She shares her own strategies, including separate personal and professional Instagram accounts and the Pomodoro method for resetting focus without reaching for a screen. The conversation turns to her research on Black women and Alzheimer's disease. Black Americans face 1.5 to 2 times the risk of white Americans, and Black women carry the highest projected prevalence of any group, a gap that shows up even among women who are upwardly mobile, largely tied to the neighborhoods they live in. Dr. Hill-Jarrett also unpacks weathering, the term coined by Arlene Geronimus for the accelerated biological aging that Black women experience, and points to research showing Black women's telomeres suggest they are roughly seven and a half years biologically older than white women at the same age. She closes with her current work on Afrofuturism and hopefulness, including a 10-week workshop where participants imagined a future free of time scarcity and reported feeling more hopeful about shaping what comes next. Her advice for anyone worried it's too late to protect their brain: it never is.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey & your host, Diane Wyzga. I'm often asked: “What brought you to Whidbey Island?” It's a standard ice breaker question here. My cheeky response is: A ferry brought me; ferries being a mode of transportation among the Washington islands. Many folks come here, vacation, fall in love, and return to claim their spot. Not me. It wasn't love at first sight. In truth, I washed up on the shores of Whidbey Island. My relationship with this place is more like an arranged marriage than falling-head-over-heels in love. An arranged marriage flips the traditional hook-up, dating, live together, get married sequence. Matchmakers introduce the partners, a wedding occurs, and love and intimacy are expected to develop afterward during marriage. While Hollywood movies often frame relationships around immediate romance, arranged marriages rely on a partnership built on shared foundations where emotional bonds grow over time. It's a pragmatic mindset requiring work and compromise that helps offset early disillusionment when one person's habits rub up against the other's expectations.     Unlike the traditional scenario where attraction might peak during a “honeymoon phase” the gradual growth of friendship, love, and meeting milestones together sets up a long-term companionship supported by those strong ties.   Just like our marriages, traditional or arranged, the place we live shapes our identities, behaviors, and well-being. Places we live—like the tides— direct our attention, movement, social interactions, personal growth and development. The community molds our sense of culture, belonging, what is normal, expected, possible and accepted. In ways large and small place fundamentally influences our daily routines, opportunities, and personality. After almost a decade in this semi-rural place, with all the highs and lows that come with starting anew in unfamiliar surroundings how have I come to love thee, Whidbey? Let me count the ways.   There's the cool Pacific Northwest climate, the landscape of old growth forests, farms and farmer's markets, abundant wildlife (sometimes too abundant in the garden), a slower pace because of narrow, winding 2-lane roads and reduced speed limits, the November to May Rain Festival that turns our attention and activities quietly inward. Ours is a deliberate lifestyle. We don't have malls or the hustle and bustle of city streets, or easy access to stuff one can get over in AmeriKa. Of course, that means we rely on ourselves and each other, especially when the power goes out and the hum of generators fills the night sky. Ours is a deceivingly robust community of varied social fabrics, politics, spirituality, intellects and economics. We support writers, artists, hikers, fisherfolk, entrepreneurs, farmers, poets, seniors, educators, and volunteers. Every meeting and gathering comes with a potluck. Yes, it can take time to find your people in a tight-knit rural place, but it's also a matter of stepping out the door, inviting people to share your front porch, building connections, building trust, learning tolerance for others. By and large people on Whidbey are friendly, welcoming, smart, clever, willing to shed big city ways to make room for patience. Maybe even understanding because we do not see all things the same way.   Ours hosts a plethora of outdoor spaces, free public transport, and the most wonderful library system that is the hub of our social connectedness. Sure the prices are higher than most, we do struggle to make ends meet, healthcare service could be better, and ferry schedule might be sketchy at times; but I knew I belonged when people greeted me by name in the grocery store or ACE Hardware or I was invited to begin teaching story courses for adults. Don't get me wrong. Whidbey Island is not unlike your community. It's not all rainbows and rhubarb pie here. We have our share of folks who behave like dumbshits. But for every person who behaves like a dumbshit there's a dozen who are truly kind and decent. That's the bit to remember because despite the ups and downs a time must come when you agree with yourself to set aside feelings of uncertainty, venture out, expand your horizons, engage with your new found community. As an introvert's introvert the idea of making a coffee date was not in my toolkit; but once I did step out it became easier and I learned that others were just waiting to be invited. This place called Whidbey Island is the place I live; even more important are the people I'm still coming to know who are shaping who I am. “But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all.” *** Question: What is it about the place you live that has charmed and shaped you? *** Weathering ~  by Fleur Adcock "My face catches the wind from the snow line and flushes with a flush that will never wholly settle. Well, that was a metropolitan vanity, wanting to look young forever, to pass. I was never a pre-Raphaelite beauty and only pretty enough to be seen with a man who wanted to be seen with a passable woman. But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all. My hair will grow grey in any case, my nails chip and flake, my waist thicken, and the years work all their usual changes. If my face is to be weather beaten as well, it's little enough lost for a year among the lakes and vales where simply to look out my window at the high pass makes me indifferent to mirrors and to what my soul may wear over its new complexion."

Episode OverviewWhat happens to smallmouth bass fishing in Southwest Virginia when a big summer rain event hits after weeks of low, clear water? On this Southwest Virginia Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with guide and writer Matt Reilly of Matt Reilly Fly Fishing for a real-time look at a region caught mid-storm, with rain hammering areas south of Radford and across northeast Tennessee while the New River itself stays comparatively unaffected. Matt breaks down why the coming days of rising, cooling, discolored water will actually put feeding smallmouth on more aggressive behavior than the low, clear conditions anglers had been dealing with, and why a passive, finesse-driven bug approach that worked so well in low water gives way to power fishing with bigger, darker profiles once the water comes up. He walks through the underlying logic: cooler water lowers a smallmouth's metabolic cost of chasing prey, rising flows create a predatory veil that lets fish hunt more boldly, and the same early-morning-versus-midday light and temperature gradient that governs a single summer day also governs the multi-day arc after a storm. Matt also answers a listener question about what conditions put smallmouth in a genuine feeding mood during the dog days of summer. The conversation closes with a look ahead to the fall calendar, as Matt discusses booking musky trips for the final weeks of the season and striped bass dates for next year, and points listeners to his monthly newsletter as the fastest way to hear about last-minute cancellations and openings.Key TakeawaysHow to read a rising, cooling and discoloring river as an opportunity rather than a setback for smallmouth fishing.Why finesse bug presentations dominate in low, clear, hot water while power fishing with streamers takes over once flows rise and temperatures drop.When to target slack water, eddies and bank cover with large, dark profiles during high, dirty water conditions.Why the same light-and-temperature gradient that drives fish activity within a single summer day also plays out across the days following a storm.How to stay ahead of last-minute musky and striper trip openings by subscribing directly to a guide's newsletter.Techniques & Gear CoveredMatt contrasts two core approaches for Southwest Virginia smallmouth: a passive, finesse-oriented topwater bug presentation suited to low, clear, high-pressure summer conditions, and a power-fishing approach built around larger profiles, darker colors, and faster retrieves once rain raises water levels and drops temperatures. He emphasizes targeting protected water, including slack water holes, eddies, and bank cover, when rivers run high and stained, since these areas concentrate fish that are less willing to fight heavy current. The conversation also touches on the same early-morning topwater and baitfish-imitating streamer window that opens before direct sun and rising temperatures push fish back into a more conservative feeding pattern later in the day.Locations & SpeciesThis report centers on the rivers of Southwest Virginia, including the New River and the broader drainages around Radford, Narrows and Pearisburg, with Matt tracking an active storm system moving through the region alongside spillover effects from flooding further north in West Virginia. Smallmouth bass are the primary target discussed, with the conversation focused on how a shift from low, clear, hot conditions to high, cool, discolored flows changes both fish behavior and angler strategy heading into the heart of summer. Matt also flags the approaching transition into fall, when Southwest Virginia's musky season picks up, along with striped bass dates he's already booking for the following year.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy does rising, cooler, dirtier water often improve smallmouth fishing instead of hurting it?Cooler water lowers the energy cost of chasing prey, so smallmouth can afford to move around and feed more aggressively than they do in low, clear, hot conditions. Rising, stained water also gives fish a kind of predatory veil that lets them hunt more boldly instead of feeding cautiously to avoid predators themselves.How should anglers adjust their approach right after a big rain event hits a smallmouth river?Matt's first move is to get below the freshest, most turbid water or find a stretch of river the storm has not fully reached yet. In the days that follow, the priority shifts to identifying the most promising combination of temperature, clarity and flow, since conditions can vary drastically from one stretch of river to the next after a storm.When should anglers use finesse bug fishing versus power fishing with streamers for smallmouth?Finesse bug presentations work best in low, clear, hot water, where fish feed conservatively and a subtle approach out-produces aggressive retrieves. Once water levels rise and temperatures drop, anglers should shift to fishing bigger, faster, and with darker colors in protected water like eddies and bank cover, since fish become willing to chase and expend more energy.What conditions put Southwest Virginia smallmouth into an active summer feeding mood?Beyond the day-to-day storm cycle, the same gradient shows up within a single day: lower light and cooler water temperatures in the early morning trigger windows of aggressive topwater and streamer activity, which then wanes as the sun climbs and the water warms through midday.When does musky season start in Southwest Virginia, and how can anglers get last-minute trip openings?Matt's musky season picks up on the tail end of smallmouth season, with October representing some of the last open dates before the fall push. Because cancellations and last-minute openings move fast, Matt recommends subscribing directly to his newsletter at mattreillyflyfishing.com, since that is where schedule changes get posted first.Related ContentS8, Ep 46 - Low Water, Big Bugs: Matt Reilly's Southwest Virginia Fishing UpdateS7, Ep 19 - Weathering the Winds: March Fishing Insights and Pre-Spawn Strategies with Matt ReillyS6, Ep 112 - Smallmouth Transitions and Musky Prep: Matt Reilly's Southwest VA UpdateS8, Ep 52 - Hot Days and Night Bites: Brian Shumaker's Guide to Pennsylvania Smallmouth FishingConnect with Our GuestFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Follow Andrew on Instagram @runmountainpeaks for training insights, mountain adventures, and ultrarunning content.

Dave, Brian, and Chef Anthony take on menu bloat — why independent restaurant menus balloon to six-plus pages, the real cost of decision fatigue and operational drag, and a data-first process for trimming back with confidence. Along the way they cover menu engineering, using AI to knock out the build-sheet grunt work in minutes, how to weather the social-media backlash when you cut a regular's favorite dish, and why staying in your lane beats chasing every trend. What You'll Learn •     Why menus bloat — the "everybody loves it, put it on the menu" trap, TikTok trend-chasing, and emotional attachment to legacy dishes. •     The true cost of bloat — decision fatigue for guests, plus harder inventory, ordering, prep, storage, and execution behind the line. •     The five-guys principle — the closer you get to a tight, focused menu, the easier the whole operation runs. •     Menu engineering refresher — pull your PMIX, cost every dish, and sort into stars, plow horses, puzzles, and dogs. •     Beating the build-sheet roadblock with AI — snap a photo, drop in your menu description, and let it draft a build sheet in minutes — then correct the hallucinations. •     Make it a team decision — get managers and chefs vested so you're not defending the cut alone when the backlash hits. •     Weathering the backlash — short-term pain, long-term relief; don't argue in the comments; the vocal minority is not your loyal majority. •     Tapping servers and customers — a short VIP questionnaire surfaces market intel the chef's jaded palate misses. •     Staying in your lane — don't bolt a trendy dish onto a concept it doesn't fit. No Sushi Wednesday at the rib place. The Process (Do This) 1.   Cost out your menu — at minimum a rough costing on every dish. 2.   Pull your PMIX to get units sold and profitability per item. 3.   Run it through menu engineering (spreadsheet or software) and categorize each dish. 4.   Use AI to draft build sheets fast: photo of the dish + your menu description, then fix what's off. 5.   Bring in stakeholders so the decision — and the heat — is shared across the team. 6.   Gather frontline intel with server input and a quick VIP customer questionnaire. 7.   Make the cuts, then hold the line. The storm blows over faster than you think. Moments Worth Replaying "You're the reason the menu ends up six pages."  — Anthony, on the server who wants every special added "Short-term pain always causes long-term relief."  — on cutting the menu down "It's simple. It's not easy."  — on the build-sheet work "I'd rather win than be right."  — on dropping the ego and collaborating "No one's going to the rib place to get sushi."  — on staying in your lane Connect Stuck on where to start?

Alan Pace, Chairman of Burnley Football Club and RCD Espanyol, joined me this week for an exclusive interview where we discuss not only his fascinating life across finance and sports, but his deeply reflective approach to leadership and faith. Backed by a legitimate sporting pedigree that includes serving in the executive management of Real Salt Lake, Alan brings a rare blend of Wall Street business discipline and soft-spoken spiritual conviction to the often cutthroat world of elite professional sports. It was an absolute privilege to have him on the show.In this episode, we sit down at the historic Hyde Park Stake Center in London to explore his personal journey. We discuss everything from his family's deep missionary roots in the North West of England to what it really feels like to steer a massive community asset under the relentless lens of public scrutiny. Alan opens up about his belief that he doesn't "own" a club, but rather holds it in trust for the community, and explains how constant prayer acts as his anchor when making high-stakes executive decisions.Key insights from our conversation include:Rediscovering Family Footsteps: Alan reflects on his own history with the iconic Hyde Park chapel and shares the incredible moments of synchronicity that occurred when he realized he was working in the exact same English towns where his father had served as a young missionary decades prior.The Boy Scout Philosophy of Stewardship: A look at Alan's unique leadership model, which rejects the traditional concept of sports ownership in favor of "stewardship"—a mindset rooted in a simple childhood lesson to always leave a place better than you found it.Six Missed Trains with Vincent Kompany: The story behind bringing one of football's biggest icons to Turf Moor. Alan admits he didn't initially comprehend the scale of Kompany's legacy, but details the instant connection, an epic first meeting that blew past half a dozen train schedules, and how Kompany challenged him to see voices he normally couldn't hear.Leading with a Parental Heart: An honest look at the brief but impactful tenure of Scott Parker, whose "superpower" wasn't just on-pitch tactics, but an uncanny ability to lead a squad with the genuine care, empathy, and protective instinct of a father.Weathering the Dark Side of the Beautiful Game: Alan speaks candidly about navigating intense public criticism, modern social media vitriol, and extreme fan reactions. He shares how he relies on temple attendance, silent boundaries, and sincere prayer to find clarity and inspiration when the noise gets too loud.Flip the Question on Faith: A powerful closing thought for anyone striving to live their faith in hyper-competitive, high-pressure environments. Alan challenges us to stop focusing solely on the certainty of God's love for us, and instead ask ourselves a much more demanding question: How clearly does our day-to-day behavior demonstrate our love for Him?Follow Burnley FC at: https://burnleyfootballclub.comFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.For All The Saints podcast was established in 2023 by Ben Hancock to express his passion and desire for more dialogue around faith, religious belief, and believers' perspectives on the topics of our day.

In a world where AI is transforming how we work and communicate, are we at risk of losing the very thing that makes leadership effective, that is genuine human connection? In this episode, Julian is joined by Victoria Rennoldson, award-winning cultural intelligence and communication coach and founder of Culture Cuppa, to explore what human leadership really means in practice. Victoria shares why the skills once dismissed as "soft" are now the most critical capabilities a leader can develop, and introduces the concept of the "human differentiating factor". The idea that in an AI-enabled world, it's the people who can truly connect, build trust and communicate with authenticity who will stand out. Drawing on over a decade of working with leaders and teams across cultures, Victoria offers practical strategies for navigating the overwhelm of modern communication, from being intentional about one-to-one time to agreeing team norms that reduce friction and noise. She explains why leaders need to "slow down to speed up," how cultural intelligence helps teams understand each other at a deeper level, and why simply copying and pasting AI-generated communication risks stripping away the very tone and personality that builds real relationships. Whether you're leading a global team or a local one, this conversation is a timely reminder that the human side of leadership isn't a nice-to-have but it's the whole point.   Connect with Victoria: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-rennoldson/ Website:  https://culturecuppa.com/     ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2   ##########

In this compelling installment of the Sunday Interview, host Brad Onishi engages in a deep-dive conversation with Dr. Tiffany Townsend, a distinguished psychologist and former Chief Diversity Officer, to discuss her timely new book, Weathering the Storm: Navigating the Anti-Social Justice Wave. The episode traces the trajectory of American DEI efforts from the "radical hope" sparked by Barack Obama's election to the current systemic dismantling of equity initiatives across the country. Dr. Townsend offers a masterclass in historical context, drawing striking parallels between modern anti-DEI legislation and the "Redemption Playbook" used to roll back civil rights gains following Reconstruction. By reframing DEI as an effort to expand the table rather than limit it, she provides a necessary correction to the weaponized narratives currently dominating the cultural landscape. Beyond the political analysis, the discussion delves into the psychological toll of navigating spaces where tokenism and stereotypes—which Dr. Townsend famously likens to inescapable "cigarette smoke in a bar"—persist. The conversation moves from the macro-level of institutional violence and intimidation to the micro-level of personal healing, emphasizing that collective solidarity is the only true antidote to depletion. Dr. Townsend concludes with a powerful definition of "Radical Hope": a grounded, strategic persistence that acknowledges the severity of the current storm while drawing strength from the community and history. This episode is an essential toolkit for anyone looking to move past "checking boxes" toward building genuinely inclusive spaces that can withstand the current political climate.
