Lyndale Ave is up for reconstruction, and a group of activists have been working for the last few years to make sure it has the best design it can. Let's listen in on their interview on the Wedge LIVE! podcast. Wedge LIVE! Shownotes After years of engagement and political wrangling, Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis are ready to approve a new design for Lyndale Avenue South between Franklin and Lake. Because the street was last reconstructed in 1934, the road surface and infrastructure underground are long overdue for a replacement. But reconstruction also gives us an opportunity for pedestrian, bike, and transit improvements on a corridor that includes the most dangerous intersection in the state of Minnesota. Julie Johnson, a senior community organizer with Move Minnesota, and Jeremy Winter, a Wedge-based volunteer agitator for "Livable Lyndale," join me for a conversation about what's at stake.

It's just bomb and gouge, right? In this episode, Mark and Lou look at the numbers to see if reality matches the common perception that Tour players almost never have long approach shots anymore. Are there still any 3-shot holes on the PGA Tour? How often does a Tour pro have a short iron left on a par 5? If there is a discussion to be had about distance, it starts with knowing what is *actually* happening on the course, and not just opinions.If you have a question you want covered on the pod, please submit here: https://www.hackitoutgolf.com/contact/Listeners can also leave us a voicemail! https://www.hackitoutgolf.com/voicemail/Where to find us:Mark Crossfield's weekly newsletter: https://www.crossfieldgolf.com/subscribeMark Crossfield on Twitter: https://twitter.com/4golfonlineMark Crossfield on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/4golfonlineLou Stagner's weekly newsletter: https://newsletter.loustagnergolf.com/subscribeLou Stagner on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LouStagnerGreg Chalmers on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GregChalmersPGAThe Hack It Out Golf Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HackItOutGolfSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman welcomes back Cordie Walker (last on the show in 2019) for a practical, no-fluff conversation on what actually moves the needle for your golf game: Speed Training with intent, how to make Real Swing Changes, Practice Structure, Course Management using Dispersion, and Wedge Gapping that holds up under pressure.  Cordie shares his journey chasing 180 → 190 → 200mph Ball Speed, why most golfers “speed train” the wrong way, and how dedicated sessions (with a real warmup and real volume) raise your floor, not just your ceiling. Then the conversation pivots into improvement that transfers: Get Better Feedback (video + data), Practice with a Purpose (technique vs skill vs performance), and build a Wedge System that makes “shot #3” a weapon.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why “intent” is the missing ingredient in most speed training (and what a real session looks like)  The #1 speed-training sign you're actually going hard enough (yes—it should feel out of control)  How video changes everything: what you feel vs what you actually do  Why swing changes are harder than golfers think—and what it really takes to make them stick  A simple practice framework: Technique vs Skill vs Performance (and why most practice fails)  How great course management can free you up (and when “send it” actually makes sense)  Why dispersion is a shotgun pattern, not a “rifle”—and how to use it to play smarter, and A wedge gapping starting point most golfers skip (and why it's killing your scoring.) Key Takeaways: Speed is trainable—if you train it on purpose. Dedicated sessions, real warmup, and enough volume matter. Feedback is everything. Video + launch monitor data keep you honest and accelerate change. Practice needs a goal. Decide if you're working on technique, skill, or performance—then practice accordingly. Course management isn't “play scared.” Know your dispersion and make emotionless decisions—then commit. Wedge gapping wins tournaments for regular golfers. Build baselines, stop swinging wedges too hard, and refine.

In this episode, Lex chats with Evan Malanga — Chief Revenue Officer of Yuma, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group focused on growing the Bittensor ecosystem. They discuss how Bittensor's $6 billion protocol incentivises AI builders worldwide through token emissions across 128 competing subnets, and why the network has produced real commercial outputs — including a 72 billion parameter model trained on-chain and a coding agent rivalling Claude at a fraction of the cost. Evan explains Yuma's role as the institutional gateway to Bittensor through its validator, accelerator, and asset management products, and they explore why the concentration of AI in OpenAI and Anthropic is a systemic risk, and whether Bittensor's future extends beyond AI into a broader coordination engine for decentralised work. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: Bittensor has crossed from experimentation into shipping benchmark-competitive work at a fraction of centralized cost. Three recent proof points: Templar (subnet 3) completed the largest decentralized pre-training run of a 72B parameter model using only the network's token incentives. Ridges, an AI agent platform, is hitting 88–90% on software engineering benchmarks, on par with Claude-class agents at ~5x cheaper, built by a 3-to-5-person team under $10M of token emissions. Score (subnet 44) is doing computer vision 200x faster than centralized counterparts. Small distributed teams are producing outputs competitive with frontier labs without raising venture capital or hiring staff. Dynamic TAO restructured emissions from validator-curated to market-curated, making each subnet its own tradeable asset. Previously, dominant validators assigned weights that determined how the 7,200 daily TAO emission flowed across subnets. Under Dynamic TAO, each of the 128 subnets has its own token denominated in TAO, and any holder can buy or sell into specific subnets, pricing them like a market rather than a committee vote. Subnet owners, miners, and validators earn fees in the respective subnet token. Distribution has settled into a power law: the top ten subnets hold ~80% of market cap. This is the move that turned Bittensor from “decentralized AI protocol” into a financial hyperstructure with hundreds of tokenized work markets layered on top. The economics for subnet owners are genuinely unusual — hundreds of millions in annual incentives, fully subsidized labor, no fundraising. A subnet owner gets access to up to ~256 miners globally competing to satisfy their problem statement, with miner compensation paid by protocol emissions rather than the subnet owner. At current TAO prices, annual incentives across the network run into hundreds of millions; at higher prices, this approaches $1B/year up for grabs. No hiring, no benefits, no recruiting, the network runs as a continuous adversarial competition where validators rank miner outputs. This is the mechanical answer to “why would an AI researcher choose Bittensor over Silicon Valley”, and explains why researchers at Meta and Google reportedly mine Bittensor on nights and weekends, with top miners on subnets like Ridges earning ~$30,000/day.

Bart realises he can get what he wants by turning Marge and Homer against each other, that is until they realise that their marriage is more important than caring about parenting. Marge and Homer rediscovering their love for each other was a fun story that many parenting couples will relate to, which along with the addition of a new location being the abandoned Springfield Subway, makes for an enjoyable episode overall.We also discuss peeing in the shower, last-minute assignments, the best way to do the dishes and more.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Goin' Down To South Park - spreaker.com/show/goin-down-to-south-parkThe Movie Guide with Maltin & Davis - themovieguidepodcast.comThe One About Friends - spreaker.com/show/the-one-about-friends-podcastTalking Seinfeld - spreaker.com/show/talking-seinfeldSpeaKing Of The Hill - spreaker.com/show/speaking-of-the-hill-a-king-of-the-hill-The Office Talk - spreaker.com/show/the-office-talk-podcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.

In this episode, Lucas and Alex sit down with Stuart Wedge to talk about friction, the invisible thing that slows down communication, creates resistance, and makes collaboration harder than it needs to be.Stuart shares how his background in the military, information security, fire performance, and coaching eventually led him to develop the Congredior Method, a framework built around reducing friction and helping people work together more effectively.The conversation also dives into Stuart's journey through SpeakerX, where he transformed an early idea into a signature talk and discovered that “friction” had actually been the common thread running through his entire career.They talk about:Why people naturally resist being told what to doThe hidden communication problems inside teamsHow curiosity changes the way people respond to youBuilding trust before conflict happensWhy AI won't replace human connectionStuart's GUIDE principles for reducing frictionTurning a complex idea into a clear signature talkIf you've ever felt resistance in conversations, struggled to get people on your side, or wondered why good ideas still create pushback, this episode will change the way you think about communication.Do you want to watch Stuart's full Signature Talk?

Most insurance producers walk into a meeting and immediately start talking about policies, endorsements, and premiums. But if you want to win a multi-million dollar account, you have to stop selling insurance and start managing risk.My guest, Corey Hillery, known to many as "The Work Comp Guy", joins me to discuss how he uses workers' compensation as a powerful "wedge" to win entire books of business. We break down why introverts often gain more credibility faster than extroverts, how Corey built his career on the "dying art" of cold calling, and why workers' comp is actually a financial management tool rather than an insurance product. Corey also gets vulnerable about his personal journey, discussing how extreme challenges like personal loss and depression have shaped him into a more empathetic and human advisor. If you want to elevate your sales game by being authentically yourself, this is the episode for you.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Send us Fan MailA lot of people say they love racing. Kate Maurer is 10 years old and proves it by showing up, learning fast, and winning in a mini wedge.I sit down with Kate to hear how she got started after watching her sister race, what it's like running youth oval track events across Michigan, and why her home tracks at Owosso Speedway and Owosso Motorsports Park mean so much. We talk about what a mini wedge car teaches you early: you can't stay full throttle everywhere, you have to lift in the corners, hold your lane, and respect what the track is giving you that night. Kate also shares the personal story behind her #311, chosen to honor her family's racing history.We dig into the real rhythm of grassroots motorsports: changing tires, swapping gears, checking fuel, running quick heats and features, and leaning on a whole family pit crew. Kate breaks down how she landed sponsors through community relationships and by walking into businesses with her sister and asking. She also opens up about a hard crash at Berlin Raceway, how she calms down after something goes wrong, and the small routines that help, including lucky socks and a simple message from her dad: have fun first.Looking ahead, Kate has big goals, like stepping into a super late model someday, and she names Chase Elliott as her favorite driver. If you're searching for stories about women in motorsports, youth racing, mini wedge racing, and the future of short track racing, this conversation delivers heart, detail, and a clear reminder that the next generation is already here.

Send us Fan MailA lot of racing careers start with a “real plan.” Abby Maurer's starts with a dusty car at her dad's shop and a deal for gas-station ice cream if she'd sit in it for a photo. Abby is 14 now, a mini wedge racer with big trophies behind her and even bigger confidence on track, and she joins us to tell the full story from that first moment to chasing points championships at places like Owosso and Kalamazoo. We talk about what youth racing really looks like week to week: balancing school, sports, and family time while still showing up ready to learn. Abby breaks down the support system that makes grassroots motorsports work, including how she and her family approach local racing sponsors, why it's easier when you know people, and what it takes to earn that backing over time. If you're searching for practical advice on how to start mini wedge racing or how to build confidence in youth motorsports, her perspective is refreshingly direct. Then we get honest about the part many people tiptoe around: being a girl racing in a male-dominated sport. Abby explains how some boys race her differently once she's beating them, how she protects herself, and why standing her ground matters. We also dig into race craft and mindset, from thinking ahead and avoiding costly mistakes to why she sometimes prefers starting in the back because it's more challenging and more fun. You'll also hear the details that make local short track racing so addictive: favorite tracks, working on the car, the crowd reactions when kids realize the driver is a girl, and even the lucky socks she associates with a big win. Abby closes out by sharing what's next, including adding flat kart racing to keep building skill and seat time.

Mike Collins is a serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist who has spent his career at the intersection of technology, innovation, and investing. Starting at a VC firm right out of college in 1986, he went on to found companies like Kid Galaxy and Big Idea Group before launching Alumni Ventures in 2013 — now one of the most active VC firms in the world with nearly $1.6 billion raised from individual investors exclusively.In this episode, Mike and Jeff explore what most founders misunderstand about venture capital, how to get into tier-one deals, and why diversification in venture is non-negotiable. Mike shares what he looks for in founders (hint: it's not the pitch deck), why niche is your unfair advantage, and what it really takes to raise capital in a tough market. He also breaks down why hard problems create defensible businesses, why "code is no longer a moat," and why constraints are often the secret ingredient to better companies.Whether you're a founder raising your first round or a seasoned operator rethinking your go-to-market, this episode delivers grounded, no-fluff insight from someone who has seen entrepreneurship from every angle.Key Takeaways4:07 — What most founders misunderstand about how venture capital actually works6:03 — Why individual investors deserve access to venture — and how Alumni Ventures was born from that belief7:42 — The genesis story: 100 Dartmouth alums banding together as the first fund16:18 — How to get started with Alumni Ventures: join the syndicate (it's free)19:18 — Why we all know the right investing principles but still get it wrong — and what smart investors do differently23:04 — The two signals that tell Mike a founder is worth leaning in on: unique vision + rate of learning27:17 — The #1 pitch mistake founders make: not getting granular about the customer experience29:31 — Why being afraid to show your product to customers is one of the costliest mistakes founders make32:50 — The cultural decision that shaped Alumni Ventures: owned entirely by the team and investors38:41 — What not to waste time talking about in a VC pitch: competition and TAM39:45 — The counterintuitive thing VCs actually want to hear: what you haven't figured out yet41:11 — "Code is no longer a moat" — why traditional competitive advantages are evaporating fast45:09 — The single most important thing a founder can do to improve their fundraising odds: get a customer47:32 — Why constraints are often the catalyst for the best innovationTweetable Quotes"Ship, learn, repeat. That's so true of being a successful entrepreneur. It's the rate of learning — and you can't learn unless you're trying stuff." — Mike Collins"Don't be afraid of being a niche. Do your niche really well, have a super targeted customer, and deliver the heck out of a product they love. If you can do that, you can always expand." — Mike Collins"Being afraid of showing your stuff to your customer is one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make." — Mike Collins"We want to hear what you're doing that's really hard and you haven't figured out yet. If it's really easy, you're gonna have 12 startups trying to knock it out." — Mike Collins"Get a customer. That's the answer. Go find somebody who wants what you're building and convince them to buy it." — Mike Collins"Code is no longer a moat. A lot of the competitive advantages that have been traditional are just evaporating almost overnight." — Mike Collins"Rule one: don't run out of money. Never forget rule number one." — Mike Collins"I have seen as many companies fail because they had too much money as not enough. The best innovation comes from constraint." — Mike CollinsSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Venture capital requires a portfolio mindset — not a lottery ticket. The math demands at least 50 companies, ideally 100+. One-off deals from your accountant's cousin aren't investing — they're gambling. Build a diversified portfolio the same way you would with public equities.2. The slope of improvement matters more than where you start. Mike looks for founders who learn faster than everyone else — not those with the best initial idea. Google started in 17th place. What separated them was the rate of improvement. Show VCs your trajectory, not just your position.3. Start smaller than feels comfortable. Too many founders try to tackle massive markets before proving anything. A tight niche with a rabid early customer base is far more fundable than a vague TAM slide. Wedge in, win there, then expand.4. Solving hard problems is your real competitive moat. In an era where code is no longer a moat and AI is commoditizing execution, the companies that win are the ones solving genuinely difficult, multi-dimensional problems. Hard things take time, money, and grit — which is exactly what keeps competitors out.5. Fundraising is half your job — treat it like it. Even the day after you close a round, you should know what KPIs will unlock the next one. Maintain investor relationships year-round, not just when you need money. Plan A, B, C, and D. Know your burn and runway cold.6. Alignment between team, investors, and customers creates durability. Alumni Ventures chose to be owned entirely by the team and its investor-customers. That structural alignment shapes culture, focus, and decision-making at every level. Build companies where incentives point in the same direction.Guest Resourcesmike@av.vcwww.av.vchttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-collins-362100/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Sepp Straka joins Smylie Kaufman on The Smylie Show for a wide-ranging conversation on fatherhood, growing up between Austria and Georgia, competing alongside his twin brother Sam, and the path that took him from an under-the-radar junior to one of the best players in the world. Sepp talks about his time at Georgia, why that qualifying culture helped shape him, how he ended up with Srixon after college, and why his equipment setup immediately gave him confidence heading into Q-School.Later, Sepp gets into the real turning points in his PGA TOUR career: the early inconsistency, working with John Tillery, using TrackMan with more purpose, improving his wedge play and short game, and building a more complete process around practice. Then Charlie joins for Short-Sided to close things out with some lighter stories on food, Georgia guys, and dad life at home.⛳️ Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more golf insight!

Some artifacts don't belong. Buried in sand. Hidden in shipwrecks. Locked in museum cases. Objects that shouldn't exist — at least not according to the official timeline. In this episode, we dive into the world of Out-of-Place Artifacts — the Baghdad Battery, the Antikythera Mechanism, the Iron Pillar of Delhi, the Sabu Disc, the Nimrud Lens, the Wedge of Aiud — relics that feel like glitches in history itself. Ancient batteries. Mechanical computers 2,000 years ahead of their time. Rust-proof iron. Precision stonework that modern tools struggle to replicate. Are these just misunderstood relics… Or evidence that something has been forgotten — or erased? Was there lost technology? A vanished civilization? Cycles of collapse we refuse to acknowledge? The deeper you look, the stranger it gets. History tells a story. But sometimes the artifacts tell a different one. Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.
