Is Parvati the Survivor GOAT? Who really owns the title of Survivor's Greatest of All Time? On this special installment of the Survivor GOAT series, Rob Cesternino is joined by Mike Bloom to put Parvati Shallow's legendary gameplay under the microscope. As Survivor continues to celebrate its iconic history, Rob and Mike debate whether Parvati's bold moves, social mastery, and challenge prowess are enough to earn her the GOAT crown. The conversation jumps right into Parvati's resume, covering her historic double idol play in Heroes vs. Villains and her more recent coup in Australian Survivor: Australia vs. the World. Mike makes the case for Parvati's unmatched ability to survive as an ongoing target and how her strategic thinking and charm have set her apart across multiple eras of Survivor. Rob pushes back, questioning moments where Parvati's social game didn't connect and whether her reputation sometimes worked to her disadvantage. Together, they break down Parvati's alliances, challenge dominance, and her impact on the way Survivor is played—not just by women, but by everyone who's followed in her footsteps. Key points of interest discussed include: – Parvati's signature idol play that flipped Heroes vs. Villains on its head – How her relationships and alliances, especially with players like Danielle and Cirie, shaped the outcomes of her seasons – The memorable moment in Australian Survivor when Parvati persuaded an opponent NOT to play an idol for themselves – Debating if her legacy (and even her “celebrity” factor) gives her a modern edge—or makes her more vulnerable – The strengths and shortcomings of Parvati's social game when facing enemies versus allies As Rob and Mike weigh Parvati's place among icons like Sandra, Boston Rob, and Tony, the big question remains: Does Parvati's game truly stand the test of time, or did certain missteps keep her from GOAT status? Will her bold moves—and her reputation—help or hurt her if she returns again? Dive in to hear if Parvati gets your vote as Survivor's GOAT, and stick around for debate about alliances, idol plays, and which legends might take the crown next!

What happens when everything you were told to do stops working — and you have to figure it out at 23? In this episode of Winners Find A Way, Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Tony Wilkins, Northwestern and University of Chicago Booth graduate, longtime angel investor, executive coach, cancer survivor, and author of The Art of Angel Investing. Tony grew up as the oldest of six boys, built his career as an electrical engineer at Chrysler Corporation in 1979, and was laid off after just one year, along with 300 others. At 23, with everything he thought he had figured out suddenly gone, he made a decision that would shape the rest of his life — stop solving for a job and start solving for financial independence. From there, he went on to earn his MBA at Booth, build a career in high-level banking and finance, become a founding member of Hyde Park Angels in Chicago, and invest in early-stage companies like Spot Hero (acquired by Uber), Cameo, and Nutrasense. This conversation is about more than investing. Tony and Trent dig into what it really means to be the CEO of yourself — knowing what you are solving for, being ruthless about what you can control, and letting go of what you can't. Tony shares how the layoff that shattered his plans at 23 was actually the best thing that ever happened to him, why he secretly applied to Harvard Business School nine months into his dream job, and how a mentee half his age gave him one of the most powerful leadership phrases he's ever heard: "I am firm in my mission and flexible in my methods." This episode is a reminder that winners are not people who never face setbacks. Winners are the ones who learn, adjust, lead, and find a way. In This Episode, We Discuss: How getting laid off at 23 became Tony's most important life lesson Why you must know what you are really solving for — not just what you want right now The CEO of your mindset and owning your results completely Being ruthless about what you can control and letting go of everything you can't How to get started as an angel investor — even without Silicon Valley connections The concept of "triumph or tuition" and why every investment teaches you something How change, AI, and the next generation will shape the future of leadership Key Takeaways ✨ Know what you're really solving for It's not enough to want a good job or a big title. Tony asks every client: "What are you really solving for?" Keep asking why — five times if you have to — until you get to the truth beneath the surface answer. ✨ Be the CEO of yourself You are responsible for your results. No one is coming to save you. Tony learned this at 23 when Chrysler cut 300 people without warning. The sooner you take full ownership of your direction, the sooner your life changes. ✨ Be ruthless about what you can control Tony's rule: be ruthless about what you can control and ruthlessly ignore everything you can't. Gravity exists. Corporate layoffs happen. AI is here. Your energy goes toward what you can actually move. ✨ Triumph or tuition — just get in the water You cannot learn to swim from a book. You cannot become an angel investor without writing a check. Every investment either gives you a triumph or pays your tuition. Either way, you are learning. The key is to start. ✨ Firm in your mission, flexible in your methods A young mentee said this to Tony at the end of a coaching call, and it stopped him cold. Your mission is the non-negotiable. How do you get there? That can evolve. The best leaders hold both at once.

Brandon Sedloff sits down with Mike Boggs of Revelation Partners and Justin Burden of Industry Ventures at the Venture Secondaries Summit to explore how venture secondaries have evolved from a tool for distressed sellers into an institutional liquidity engine for private markets. The conversation examines the specialist approach required to succeed in this opaque, relationship-driven market where transactions happen by appointment rather than on open exchanges. They discuss: - Why venture secondaries function as a third liquidity option beyond IPOs and M&A, particularly in healthcare where billion-dollar outcomes are considered large - How secondary buyers navigate competition from insider investors by serving as arm's-length pricing partners for founder share sales - The structural liquidity problem created by over $800 billion in unrealized healthcare value and trillions locked in tech, with secondary funds positioned to address this overhang - Why specialization in specific sectors or deal types is becoming essential as commoditization pressures generalist secondary funds - How the flight to quality means focusing capital on late-stage, proven companies rather than indexing across venture portfolios This episode offers private markets investors and operators a practical view of how venture secondaries create value in an environment where companies stay private longer and traditional exit paths remain constrained. Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:00:29) - Guest introductions and firm backgrounds (00:04:47) - Evolution of venture secondaries as liquidity (00:07:20) - What happens if IPOs and M&A return (00:11:28) - Specialists versus generalists in secondaries (00:13:04) - Secondaries as asset class or strategy (00:17:07) - Overcoming discount buyer perceptions (00:19:47) - Building conviction and underwriting (00:22:58) - Navigating competition from top VCs (00:25:32) - Educating the market on secondary options (00:29:52) - Liquidity challenges for the messy middle (00:33:17) - Transfer rights and insider preferences (00:38:22) - LP secondaries market maturation concerns (00:40:15) - Outlooks on the next 5 to 10 years (00:44:04) - What could stop the growth trajectory (00:47:42) - Competition and differentiation challenges (00:50:49) - Closing Links: Mike Boggs on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-boggs-7921343/ Justin Burden on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-burden-46120a/ Brandon Sedloff on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsedloff/ Revelation Partners - https://revelation-partners.com/ Industry Ventures - https://www.industryventures.com/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/

Linda and Noah talk about: 1) a Hebrew University poll finding that eleven out of twelve Israelis think that Iran "won the war", and 2) the eviscerating new movie, "Yes", by Israeli director-in-self-imposed-exile Nadav Lapid, who despite his criticism of Israel and Israelis was BDSedly hounded out of next week's Marseille International Film Festival (for which discussion we were joined by novelist and Jerusalem Post film critic Hannah Brown!). For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: New York City's next delegation to Congress will be the most anti-Israel ever. What can you say to that? Plus: Fifty years of the Reshet Gimel pop radio station, meeting Landsmen in Milan, Yakov Agam and more than you probably ever wanted to know about the Tel Aviv-Yafo city council! Plus, songs from the stunningly beautiful and moving forthcoming record by Ayalah Asherov and Yehoshua Sobol, Ha-Zman ha-Zeh.

Love Island USA Daily June 22, 2026 Kirsten MacInnis recaps all the Casa Amor drama in Love Island USA Season 8, Episode 18, where temptations run wild and connections are put to the biggest test yet. As both villas fill up with new singles, sparks fly. Some Islanders dive into new flings while others wrestle with loyalty. With bed-hopping, surprise kisses, and candid confessions, Kirsten guides listeners through every step of the unfolding chaos. The episode opens as Islanders face a steamy striptease challenge, followed by heartfelt and awkward introductions with the new arrivals. Kirsten highlights KC's developing chemistry with Tierra and his mixed feelings about Aniya, while Bryce weighs his loyalty to Trinity after finding little in common with the Casa girls. Attention shifts to the main villa, where the women greet twelve new men arriving by boat, leading to a raucous pool party and a kissing challenge to select which guys stay. Carl quickly connects with Aniya as they bond over languages and breakfast plans, and Trinity entertains new options with Corey, sparking doubts about her bond with Bryce. Throughout, Kirsten points to the real-time reactions, shifting alliances, and the emotional impact of video reveals and missed signals.

https://teachhoops.com/ Open gym can be one of the most valuable parts of your offseason — or one of the biggest wastes of time. Too often, players show up, shoot around, play sloppy games, argue calls, and leave without getting better. In this episode, Coach breaks down how to turn open gym into a culture-building, competitive, player-led environment that actually helps your team win later in the season. Open gym should not be random. Random open gyms create random habits. If players are going to be in the gym, coaches need a simple structure that builds the things that matter: communication competitiveness leadership shot selection defensive habits team standards accountability Open gym does not need to feel like practice, but it should still have purpose. Too many open gyms become: half-speed shooting lazy transition defense arguing over fouls players choosing teams by popularity no communication no standards no leadership no carryover to the season Players get sweaty, but they do not always get better. Before the first game starts, give players one clear standard for the day. Examples: “Today we sprint back every possession.” “Today we talk on every screen.” “Today every team must get a paint touch before a shot.” “Today no one argues calls.” “Today the winning team stays only if they defend.” One standard gives the gym focus. 1) The First 10 Minutes: Skill With PurposeStart with something short and sharp. Examples: finishing through contact catch-and-shoot decisions two-dribble attacks closeout into containment advantage passing This sets the tone and keeps players from drifting into lazy habits. 2) The Middle Segment: Competitive Play With ConstraintsDo not just roll the ball out. Add a rule that teaches the habit you want. Examples: no paint touch, no point defensive stop counts double no talking, possession does not count turnover means automatic point for the other team must make one extra pass before scoring Constraints teach better than speeches. 3) The Final Segment: Pressure FinishEnd open gym with something that feels like a game. Examples: first team to 3 stops wins down 4 with 2 minutes left free throw decides possession no dribble possession one stop to stay on Players remember how you finish. Open gym reveals a lot if you know what to look for. Watch for: Who organizes the group? Who talks when they are tired? Who competes without the ball? Who includes younger players? Who pouts after mistakes? Who sprints back after a bad shot? Who makes others better? Your team's future leaders often reveal themselves in open gym before they ever get a title. Open gym should not be coach-dominated. Give players ownership. Assign simple jobs: one player starts warmups one player explains the standard one player organizes teams one player tracks wins and stops one player brings younger players into the group You are not just building basketball habits. You are building ownership. At your next open gym, do not just unlock the doors and hope. Pick one standard. Add one constraint. Create one pressure finish. Then watch who leads, who competes, and who brings others with them. Open gym should have purpose without feeling like formal practice One daily standard is enough Constraints create better habits than lectures Pressure finishes teach competitiveness Open gym reveals leaders, connectors, and tone-setters Random open gyms create random teams The offseason is not just about who gets shots up. It is about who builds habits when nobody is clapping. Make open gym matter. Make it competitive. Make it player-led. Make it something that carries into your season.

Winners do not just wing it. They prepare before the pressure ever shows up. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why preparation is one of the most powerful disciplines in business. Let's be real… If you walk into a sales pitch… A strategic meeting… An investor call… Or a major negotiation… And you are relying only on charm… You are already behind the person who did the homework. In this episode, you'll learn: Why preparation is the ultimate form of respect How lack of research destroys credibility Why over preparing for worst case scenarios creates stability How deep preparation builds confidence, authority, and flawless execution The truth is simple: You do not rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your preparation. That means the work before the work matters. The research. The planning. The objection handling. The contingency strategy. The details nobody sees. High-level operators do not wait until the spotlight is on to get serious. They study in the dark. They map out the mission. They prepare for every possible failure point. And when it is time to execute, they walk in with complete confidence. Do the homework. Build the strategy. Prepare relentlessly. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Winners never quit.But what if hanging on too long is actually what's holding you back?In this fascinating conversation, resilience researcher, change strategist and keynote speaker Courtney Clark (https://courtneyclark.com/)  shares why adaptability, (NOT POSITIVITY!) is the real secret to thriving in this uncertain world.After surviving cancer four times and discovering a life-threatening brain aneurysm, Courtney learned that resilience isn't about pretending everything is fine.

"Send me a text"Grüns went from launch to a reported billion dollar exit in under three years when Unilever acquired them in 2026. Everyone credits the gummy. People don't like chugging green powder, so Grüns made it taste good and easy, and that was that. But if the whole thing were just gummies and taste, any competitor could copy the format and win. Plenty have tried. The gummy is the visible part. The thing underneath it, the part that is actually hard to copy, is what this episode is about. In this episode, I break down the difference between a format and a mechanism of hope, why Grüns moved the mechanism of hope out of the ingredients and into the experience itself, and how the founder's own words about adherence give the whole strategy away. I'll also show you why this is different from what AG1 did, the expensive mistake most brands make when they try to copy this, and how to find the specific reason your own buyer has lost hope so you can build the mechanism that speaks to it.Learn more about The Supplement Business Accelerator Group at https://creativethirst.com/groupIf you're interested in working with me and my team to improve your supplement business.

Is Boston Rob the Survivor GOAT? The debate over who truly deserves the title of Survivor's greatest of all time heats up as Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom turn the spotlight on Boston Rob Mariano. In this episode of the ongoing Survivor GOAT series, Rob and Mike dig into the long-running Survivor legend's influence on the game, examining strategy, legacy, and what it means to be the face of Survivor. With just five legends left in their countdown, this conversation dives deep into nuanced gameplay, cutthroat moves, and the lasting mark Boston Rob leaves on the franchise. Rob and Mike open the discussion by comparing Boston Rob's outsized presence to Babe Ruth's status in baseball, noting how his iconic leadership and aggressive play have shaped entire eras of Survivor. The hosts explore Rob's journey from early trailblazer in Marquesas—where he makes the shocking move to oust tribe leader Hunter Ellis—to his dominant winning game on Redemption Island. They debate whether Boston Rob's all-or-nothing style, which relies heavily on command and control, is truly the most effective path for every player. The episode also unpacks memorable moments from All Stars, including Rob's legendary deal with Lex, and contrasts his brand of gameplay with more under-the-radar winners like Vecepia Towery. The discussion turns to how Boston Rob adapts (or sometimes doesn't) in new school Survivor, including his gameplay on Winners at War and even reality competition crossovers like The Traitors. – Mike Bloom argues Boston Rob's “larger-than-life” impact and compares his influence to Survivor's host Jeff Probst – Key discussion of the infamous Lex betrayal in All Stars and whether that ruthlessness is repeatable today – Debate over Rob's ability (or inability) to pivot when the power structure shifts, especially in modern Survivor seasons – The hosts weigh the value of a style that is all agency and dominance versus quieter, adaptable strategies – Deep look at the psychological side of Boston Rob's gameplay and whether his skills are truly portable across all eras The big question lingers: Is a playstyle that's “all or nothing” really the blueprint for the next Survivor legend, or does true greatness require an adaptable game? Rob, Mike, and Survivor fans everywhere are left wondering if Boston Rob's approach can stand the test of Survivor's ever-changing landscape.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – A fatal school-event stabbing leaves two families shattered and exposes a culture too eager to excuse violence through politics and race. The tragedy demands honesty, parental accountability, stronger school boundaries, and a clear reminder that weapons, pride, and poor choices carry consequences no courtroom debate can ever undo for anyone...

Twenty years, 30 employees, and one very real fire that nearly took out a parquet floor a month before a major photo shoot. Anthony Janckila and Mark trade stories about clients going dark, why the GC ends up responsible for literally everything whether they get paid for it or not, and the kind of loyalty that shows up at a funeral instead of just sending flowers.

This is just reality when you have a lot saved and need to start withdrawals - HOWEVER - there are ways around this and we have helped clients with this. - - Listeners - if you have a 401k and think that you will be paying too much later on - we can take a look at the options... More Retirement Alerts - Social Security running out again.... - Less that 10 year until the reserves are exhausted - The Social Security Administration's newly released 2026 Trustees Report confirms that the federal retirement safety net is less than seven years away from fiscal depletion, as the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund will completely exhaust its accumulated reserves in the fourth quarter of 2032. - Once the reserve dries up, ongoing tax revenues will cover only 78% of scheduled retirement benefits, according to the report. - Some of the blame is being laid on the OBBBA with higher standard deductions and lower taxes on SS Benefits - "The OBBBA also adds a temporary additional standard deduction for taxpayers over age 65," it says. "As a result, less income tax will be paid on Social Security benefits, and the OASI and DI Trust Funds will receive lower levels of revenue in the future from income taxation of Social Security benefits."

Monday Markets - 5:45PM Sunday night we see an announcement that there is a Deal! - Why 5:45PM???????? - Futures rally, oil drops - This is just days after the market already surged after a Truth Social post last Thursday that said that the US will "soon" sign a deal with IRAN ---- That pushed up markets quite a bit too - Buy the rumor and buy the news... Reality Check - Thursday: Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that “we have a deal that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” - Monday: 60-day period delay to continue discussions of nuclear issues - Is there a sucker in all of this? $ for IRAN - Supposedly there i some deal... - A $300 billion private fund designed ?to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the U.S.-Iran framework agreement and more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with ?direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters. - The fund is designed to give both sides an economic incentive to conclude a final deal, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced as Washington and Tehran prepare to sign on Friday. SpaceX - IPO - Finally! $135 per share - Rose to $160+/- on the debut day - Rather smooth process and very orderly - A total of $85B was raised - due to an add-on additional green-shoe that was allowed ($10B) for institutions. - Rose another $20% on Monday - Retail got about 20% of the deal (down from 30%) Oracle - Oracle Corp. shares declined after the company reported quarterly capital expenses that were higher than estimates, raising investor concerns about the profitability of the AI infrastructure business. - The company expects to spend about $70 billion on net capital expenditures in the current fiscal year, and plans to raise another $40 billion in equity and debt. - Oracle's cloud infrastructure business gained 93% to $5.8 billion, and total cloud revenue is projected to jump about 61% in the quarter ending in August. - The increase of $5B over the course of the year was disconcerting to investors. - Shares dropped the most in over 6 months on the news CPI and PPI - May CPI was mixed but generally cooler on the core reading, with headline CPI up 0.5% month-over-month, matching consensus, while Core CPI rose 0.2%, below the 0.3% consensus and below Briefing's 0.4% estimate. - The softer core CPI reading suggests some easing in underlying consumer inflation pressures, which is the more constructive part of the inflation picture. - May PPI was firmer than expected on the headline reading, with PPI up 1.1% versus 0.7% consensus and 0.8% Briefing estimate, matching the prior month's revised 1.1% pace. - Core PPI rose 0.4%, matching consensus and coming in below the prior month's revised 0.7%, indicating wholesale inflation remained elevated but did not accelerate further on the core measure. - Taken together, the CPI and PPI reports point to a mixed inflation backdrop: consumer-level core inflation looked somewhat better, but producer-level price pressures remained sticky. Cyberdyne - Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class model that will be available to its enterprise customers and paid subscribers. - The company unveiled Mythos in April and has limited the rollout because of its advanced cybersecurity capabilities. - Anthropic said Claude Fable 5?s broad release is possible because of new safeguards that block responses in specific high-risk areas. - WAIT! The US government PULLED the plug on Mythos and Fable for any foreign national - From Anthropic - The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected. OpenAi - Confidentially flies for IPO - Sends financials and IPO materials to regulators - making sue all in good order. - This allows the company to iron out accounting, compliance, and regulatory issues in private without triggering a "media circus" or alerting competitors to their financials Last Friday..... - Nonfarm payrolls jumped a seasonally adjusted 172,000 for the period, down slightly from the upwardly revised 179,000 in April and far above the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 80,000. - The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, as expected. - Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% for the month and were up 3.4% over the past year, both in line with the Wall Street consensus.

The New York Knicks end a 53-year drought, capturing the NBA championship behind Jalen Brunson's rise and bold front-office moves. Can their wheeling-and-dealing become a league-winning blueprint? The episode spotlights the Knicks' pivotal trades for Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, the hiring of Mike Brown, and dramatic Finals comebacks against the San Antonio Spurs.

Is Sandra Diaz-Twine the Survivor GOAT? What happens when a two-time Survivor champion gets underestimated again and again, yet finds her way to the end? On this special “Who's the GOAT?” episode of Survivor coverage, host Rob Cesternino is joined by Survivor analyst Mike Bloom for a heated exploration of Sandra Diaz-Twine's complex legacy. With Survivor at a historic moment, Rob and Mike dig into what really makes someone the greatest of all time — and whether Sandra's unique journey across seasons cements her as the GOAT. Right from the start, Rob defends Sandra's title with the argument that her “perfectly imperfect” gameplay is her strength, not her weakness. He breaks down how Sandra's reputation as non-threatening let her fly under the radar, while Mike pushes back, questioning whether her lack of control and challenge prowess should count against her. They analyze Sandra's infamous “anybody but me” strategy and talk about her adaptability at camp, her fiery attitude at Tribal Council, and her knack for surviving even when her allies fell away. Key moments discussed include Sandra's pivotal moves in Pearl Islands and Heroes vs. Villains, her massive swing (and miss) against Denise in Winners at War, and the ongoing debate: Does Survivor reward flashy strategists, steady survivors, or something in between? Key moments: – Rob argues Sandra's weaknesses actually shielded her and let her advance through tough votes – Mike examines whether relying on bigger targets like Russell or Fairplay is a benefit or a crutch – Discussion of Sandra's historic losses of close allies, yet her consistent endgame presence – The Denise idol move in Winners at War and how it changed Sandra's modern legacy – Debate over whether survival and “threat management” trump winning challenges and making big moves Will Sandra's under-the-radar, resilient game stand the test of time as Survivor's best template for winning? Or do other legendary players like Tony or Parvati have the edge with flashier resumes? Tune in as Rob and Mike weigh strategy, luck, and legacy in the ongoing search for the real Survivor GOAT!
