Send us Fan MailAnne Montgomery spent much of her life entering places where women were told they did not belong. She pursued sports broadcasting when male coaches refused to be interviewed by her, became a certified official across five major team sports, worked for ESPN and eventually led a football officiating crew as its referee.Then her television career abruptly ended.What initially felt like rejection pushed Anne into teaching at a Title I high school. Her demanding newsroom mentality collided with the realities facing students experiencing poverty, hunger, homelessness and abuse. One encounter with a frequently late student forced her to reconsider how she judged people. Years later, a phone call from a hungry foster child led Anne—who never expected to become a parent—to open her home and become a mother and grandmother.Today, she is also a traditionally published novelist, musician, scuba diver and lifelong rock collector.

Who the hell made the scoreboard and why are we letting it decide whether we're winning?After a month of conversations with extraordinary women in sports, one theme kept jumping out at me: we're really good at letting one narrow outcome determine whether we consider ourselves successful.Olympian Elli Overton (https://www.ellioverton.com/) finished fifth IN THE WORLD and still felt like a failure.Sports broadcasting trailblazer Kate Delaney (https://katedelaneyspeaker.com/) heard hundreds of “no's” from an industry that wasn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat for women.Champion cyclist Traci Brown (https://www.bodylanguagetrainer.com/) never achieved her dream of making the Olympic team—yet raced for Team USA, won national titles and built an extraordinary career.So what happens when we stop letting the medal, promotion, paycheck, title, acceptance or somebody else's opinion be the only measure of whether we've succeeded?In this month-end episode, we're questioning the damn scoreboard.Because goals matter. Winning matters. Go chase the BIG thing.Just don't let one outcome erase everything you accomplished along the way.Courtney Clark's episode on quitting: https://ignitingyourcourage.com/blog/2026/06/22/quitters-might-actually-win-with-courtney-clark/Scott Scovill's episode on never quitting: https://ignitingyourcourage.com/blog/2026/06/19/how-a-college-dropout-ended-up-touring-with-the-rolling-stones-with-scott-scovill/My wrap up episode of these 2 seemingly contradictory episodes: https://ignitingyourcourage.com/blog/2026/06/29/the-surprising-truth-about-quitting/Anne Bonney helps people “get on board” with change and gets them moving through the discomfort and into action.​  Anne Bonney is a change keynote speaker and emcee specializing in the human side of life and work's change, including resistance to change, resilience, emotional intelligence, courageous communication, and change leadership.

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone
Only MAGA Can Stop the “Islamo-Commie” Takeover of America

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone

MAGA, it would seem, is on the ropes. Things are looking dire. Tucker Carlson is appearing on NPR talking about removing Trump for threatening nuclear war, even though, you know, not long ago he was telling Ted Cruz that we should definitely nuke a country if they tried to assassinate our president. Here is Ben Shapiro:Marjorie Taylor Greene has learned the trick of the elite Left that you can be as rich as you want, live wherever you want, party all you want, marry and spend lavishly as long as you also hate on Trump and name-drop the “resistance.” Hey, it's nice work if you can get it.The idea is that Trump was supposed to rebuff Israel, ignore Iran's threats of building a nuke because of Israel, find pedophiles that do not exist in the Epstein Files buried because of Israel, and listen to Tucker Carlson for advice OR ELSE. But really, it's the Jews. It's always been the Jews. After ten years of Trump giving himself over to fight for representation of people who have been thrown away like human garbage by a country ruled by an aristocratic ideological utopian cult, after being the target of the worst attacks I've ever seen - his hair, his weight, his hands, his skin, his daughter, his sons, his wife, his walk, his clothes, what he says, what he does, where he goes, what he eats- here we are again: the walls are closing in, only this time the calls are coming from inside the house.How hard would it be, you know, just for old times' sake, to use your vote to prevent what is likely to be the Series Finale of the Trump Show? Him getting impeached a third time, maybe booted out of office this time. Sure, it would take a large majority of Senate Republicans, but by now, why wouldn't they go along with it? Then, he'd be prosecuted and frog-marched off in an orange jumpsuit as Jen Psaki and Kara Swisher throw a party at Rosie O'Donnell's house, livestreamed on The View.I mean, this is your future MAGA, should you choose to accept it:And for these folks, their dream is finally coming true. Their ten-year war is about to come to an end because Trump supporters are jumping ships like rats. But someone should tell them their future will look grim with Trump out of the way.Maybe they don't realize what's coming, how much worse it will be than either the country under Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Maybe they have no idea what's in store for them after the revolution. Maybe the revolutionaries somehow take X from Elon. Maybe they take control of AI and gain mind-control capabilities for generations to come. I know these people. They do it with a smile and the best intentions, but they want absolute power. They want their utopia back, and you are in the way. The biggest threat is what will happen to our freedom, something most are not even factoring into the equation, but I know because I come from the Left. In China, in Iran, in other countries run by dictators, everything seems to be going very well. People are smiling, going to work, living their lives and saying nothing. They stay silent because they know what will happen if they ever say what they really think. My daughter has grown up inside of a culture now that is ruled by the same kind of fear. She already knows that she can't say what she really thinks because everyone on the Left knows. They can't write books they want to write—they can't tell the truth—but they still have to smile and pretend everything is going great in utopia!They have scared an entire generation into compliance. And it's oh so much worse now that Sharia Law has entered the chat. Oh, I know we're not supposed to think of guys like Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani as anti-American terrorists - that's racist! But the more I think about it, the more I think this alliance was inevitable: two strident fundamentalist ideologies that hate America's history and want to remake it from the ground up as something completely different, and they're prepared to use their army of fanatics and scolds to make everyone go along with it.The Left and their legacy media have spent ten years lying about Trump, saying fascism or authoritarianism was the threat. But it was never the Trump side that represented oppression and societal control. It's always been the Left. And now, it's gone to the next level. And the only one standing in their way, the Gray Champion of the Fourth Turning, the guy so many in MAGA have turned against, is The Donald. Perfect? No. Flawed, beyond. Messy — he makes it up as he goes along. Offends people casually. Can't be controlled, but this man is the one, the only one who was tough enough, rich enough, and determined enough to stand up to the most powerful political party in American history and beat them twice. He's not done smart things this time around. He's been too careless with his second win. He enriched himself and his family. He might have made a mistake trying to end the forever war with Iran. But on his worst day, he is still the one to lead us to a brighter future, away from totalitarianism, away from fanaticism, away from societal control. A Blue TsunamiThe conspiracy theories started instantly after Charlie's death. The Jews did it, the same people who are hidden in the Epstein Files - the Pizzagate of it all - the dangerous invisible menace that was choking the life out of all good things in America. Genocide and pedophiles, Epstein and Iran. And all of that came before they found their real weapon: affordability. Note the pivot by the Left away from “abolish ICE” and “Trans women are women” to kitchen table issues. Don't be fooled. It's just a new strategy to the same end goal. Affordability! That got MAGA's attention. Gas prices are high. Trump couldn't wave his magic wand and get rid of the inflation hangover from 2020. Tariffs were implemented to help Americans bring back manufacturing, but they seem to have had the opposite effect by making things cost more—or so they say. I haven't seen it myself. It just looks like politics as usual to me. Mark Halperin keeps suggesting a Blue Tsunami wipeout is coming in November. They could lose both the House and the Senate. And Texas.Cook Political Report has now predicted doom as well, and even Rasmussen is coming up blue. One of Trump's gifts has always been eternal optimism. They threw their whole arsenal at him, and he'd pop up cheerily, wave to the crowd with a thumbs up, and get one with it. Now, that might not work for the first time in ten years because his own side is going against him. Rick Wilson must be uncorking the champagne every night. Rachel Maddow is probably dancing naked under the full moon. Should this be the moment MAGA has had enough and turns on the only guy who saw them at all, let alone fought for them, people like this sad woman will finally have their dreams come true. Some people are still out there trying to hold the line, but it seems nearly impossible now. How to Stop the Islamo-Commie TakeoverFor ten years, the Democrats never figured out that the only way to stop Trump was to offer the people something better. Fear can only take you so far. The GOP can't sell fear alone because most Americans don't understand an existential threat like Communism fused with Islam. In 1932, Herbert Hoover was painted as out of touch, with “rugged individualism” not matching the suffering of America's underclass hit hard by the Great Depression. FDR won in a landslide and served for four terms, through World War II.So how bad will it get if the Democrats win? Will they keep Trump or persecute him for the next two years? Will they impeach all of his Cabinet members? Try them for war crimes? Trump was the MoonshotIn 2020, nothing in my life made sense anymore. The media I trusted were lying. The friends I had were too scared to speak out, and mobs were coming for me on almost a daily basis. I was alone. My daughter was away. All I could see coming off of my social media was hate. The most overwhelming and ugly hate I'd ever seen in my life, all aimed at one man and his supporters.I don't know exactly what happened to me, but something did. I pulled back. I knew I could not live that way anymore. I decided to find out for myself who Trump really was, who his supporters were, and what this MAGA movement was really about. What I found was a guy who had fame, wealth, and power who had dropped into a story where he was cast as the unlikely hero, the guy who would represent forgotten Americans. If Obama represented the New America built mostly online - where geography did not matter as much as ideology- then Trump represented the other America - out there in the real world. I saw this America when I drove across the country. There it was. The churches, the towns. The highways. The tire shops. The parks. The World War II memorials. It was an America those of us living our lives virtually didn't think much about, but Trump reached them as they reached out to him.The side with all of the power wanted their complete destruction. They were called racists, bigots, transphobes, extremists, fascists, Nazis, Christian Nationalists. None of it worked because they had the truth on their side, and they had Trump, and he was indestructible. Trump did big things: kept his promises on the border, transgender ideology foisted upon children, and protecting women in sports. Perfect, no, but he gave us a chance at a better future. He wanted to move mountains, build ballrooms, and end wars. He took on crime directly and changed things. But of course, it wasn't enough because it's never enough for the permanently aggrieved. Trump was never going to be destroyed by the Left. They tried and failed. Ah, but if he's destroyed from within, that's the best way to bring down the hero. Such a lowly finale, isn't it, for such a mighty warrior as Trump, who dodged bullets and came back to win a second time, handing his supporters more power than they've ever had or will ever have.It's hard for me to watch them give it all up after Trump gave so much. It's hard for me to watch them leap off the cliff to their own demise, like lemmings. No future is written for them in this story except to paint them as the rioters at the Capitol who almost overthrew the United States. As for me, well, I learned my lesson in 2016. I won't be wasting much of my time trying to save people who don't want to be saved. I'll just have to stand back and watch in horror as they learn their lesson the hard way.Either way, I will hold out hope for the decent Americans I know who are ride-or-die MAGA and who stood with Trump even when they were freezing to death, even in the midst of a shooting, and in the rain, watching the water come down in sheets, refusing to move, refusing to find shelter from the storm, and hanging on every word.

Attitude is Everything - How Kay McMahon Empowers Women In The Golf Industry

What if everything we've been taught about how to teach golf is backwards? What if the reason millions of golfers struggle isn't their lack of talent, but the way the game has been explained to them? And what if one woman, who's been challenging golf's conventions for over four decades, has the answers that could transform your game and the entire industry? In this compelling episode of The ModGolf Podcast, host Colin Weston sits down with Kay McMahon, a true force of nature in the golf world. Kay is a member of the LPGA Professionals Hall of Fame, an LPGA Elite Top 50 Best Teacher, a PGA member, the President of Women in the Golf Industry (WIGI) , and the creator of the revolutionary Golf 8.5 teaching system. From her humble beginnings putting on a homemade three-hole golf course built by her innovative father in their cul-de-sac (complete with a lemonade stand that taught her entrepreneurship at age five), to playing in three U.S. Opens and working alongside Arnold Palmer at Ironwood Country Club for a decade, Kay's journey is nothing short of remarkable. But this conversation isn't just a trip down memory lane - it's a masterclass in challenging the status quo, building inclusive communities, and reimagining how we teach and experience the game of golf. Whether you're a frustrated golfer stuck at the same handicap for years, a golf industry professional, or someone who cares about making the sport more welcoming to everyone, this episode will leave you inspired and armed with actionable insights. Three Key Takeaways you'll discover: 1. The Golf 8.5 System: Why "Simple" Beats "Complicated" Every Time Discover why traditional golf instruction has been teaching the setup positions in the wrong order for decades, and how Kay's breakthrough system - built on cognitive learning principles and "chunking" - can help you retain 300% more of what you learn. You'll learn why there are only four things to do before the swing and four-and-a-half things during it, and how this approach can shave 15-25 seconds off every shot (that's a half-hour round!) while dramatically improving your consistency. 2. The Power of Connection: How WIGI is Amplifying Women's Voices in Golf Learn how the Women in The Golf Industry organization, founded in 2001 by 11 pioneering women, has become a vital network for connecting resources, mentorship, and opportunities across all facets of the golf industry - from tour professionals and golf architects to media members and entrepreneurs. Kay shares how the organization embraces a two-way mentoring model where seasoned professionals and young newcomers learn from each other, and why having a unified voice matters in an industry where women represent only 5-10% of professionals. 3. Confronting Golf's Uncomfortable Truths: The Callaway/Good Good Controversy and Beyond In the wake of the controversial Callaway and Good Good video that sparked industry-wide outcry, Kay offers her thoughtful perspective on the "unacceptable undercurrent culture" that still exists in golf. Rather than simply condemning, she advocates for recognizing these moments as opportunities to change the conversation, ask "what were they thinking?" and work toward building a more inclusive, respectful sport for everyone, while acknowledging the many men who are supportive allies in this effort.

Getting Chicked

The trio reunites in today's episode! Rachel is back with an update on her return to running after injury, including her first run/walks and the challenge of taking things day by day even when you're starting to feel stronger. Karen shares the story of a very ambitious trail run with Molly Seidel in Montana that ended with a lot more elevation, soreness, and bear anxiety than expected. Meanwhile, Megan talks about missing a race, cheering from the sidelines with her daughter, and finding a different kind of value in running when you're not focused on a time or training goal.The Chicks then dive into the viral "Poopgate" situation from a recent Hyrox competition, where an unfortunate bathroom emergency turned into a much bigger conversation about what happens when endurance athletes lose control of their bodies mid-race. They get into race-day poop stories, pelvic floor issues, the ethics of sharing embarrassing photos of athletes, and whether endurance events need better protocols for these situations.They also discuss the internet's reaction to Sydney Sweeney's sports betting ad, women in sports marketing, and whether sports brands should be doing more to actually feature and pay female athletes.Plus: marathon strategy for a two-loop course, whether heart rate monitors are worth using, and how to deal with the jealousy, frustration and grief that comes with being injured._________________Find this week's Zappos recs here:Karen: Hoka Skyward X 2Rachel: Nike Pegasus 41Megan: Brooks Ghost Max 3_________________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORZappos is an online retail destination for the best in footwear, offering the selection and expertise runners need to take on each day with confidence.

Buck argues that the controversy goes beyond the ad itself and examines how Sweeney's public image, previous advertising controversies and perceived politics have made her a recurring target in the culture wars.

233. What Really Influences the Effectiveness of Your Brand Messaging—and Conversions

Inclusion and Marketing

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 17, 2026 19:50


Your brand messaging doesn't exist in a vacuum. Every customer brings years of societal programming, experiences, and beliefs that influence how they interpret the messages your brand sends—and whether those messages actually resonate and convert. And your customers aren't the only ones who have been programmed. Marketers bring their own assumptions and cultural inputs into the messaging, creative, and customer experiences they create, often without realizing it. In this episode of Frictionless Growth Lab, Sonia Thompson explores how societal programming shapes brand messaging, customer perception, and buying decisions. Using examples from the recent Sydney Sweeney campaign controversy, women in sports, beauty standards, healthcare marketing, and an Amazon Alexa campaign, she breaks down how brands can communicate both explicit and implicit messages—and why customers may receive something very different from what marketers intended. You'll learn how societal programming shapes customer worldview, why two customers can interpret the same brand message differently, how unintended signals can create friction in the customer journey, and how to evaluate whether your marketing reinforces, challenges, or interrupts existing narratives. Most importantly, you'll learn how to create more intentional brand messaging that helps your ideal customers answer one of the most important questions influencing consideration and conversion: “Is this for someone like me?” Friction Finder Growth Audit: https://www.frictionlessgrowthlab.com/frictionfinder/ Mosaic Messaging: https://calendly.com/soniathompson/30min

What happens when the career you thought would last forever suddenly disappears? Marysol Castro knows. She lost jobs, raised two boys as the sole provider, and found herself wondering what came next. In this episode of Celebrate Your Story, Marysol and I talk about the setbacks that forced her to reinvent herself and the relationships that helped her through them. We also discuss 0the importance of staying open when you don't know where the path is leading. Marysol has spent more than 25 years in broadcasting, including stops at CBS News, ESPN, and WPIX. Along the way, she learned something I believe deeply: Relationships matter. People she met years earlier would reappear at important moments, offering encouragement and sometimes seeing possibilities in her that she couldn't yet see herself. Then came a call she never expected. The New York Mets wanted her to audition as their public address announcer. She got the job, becoming the first woman to hold the role, and faced plenty of criticism as she learned it. During that first season, a young girl came to her booth with a sign congratulating her on being the first. Marysol remembers thinking, "That's why I'm here." Today, she calls being the voice of the Mets "the best job on the planet," while continuing to build the next chapter of her career around storytelling and women in sports. Marysol's story is proof that our careers rarely follow a straight line. Sometimes you have to keep moving before you know exactly where you're going, trusting the relationships you've built and the experiences you've collected to help you find what comes next.

Mina Kimes says the Dianna Russini–Mike Vrabel scandal has created a negative narrative for women in sports media. Dan strongly disagrees and argues that the controversy is being used to push a broader victimhood narrative. Plus, Dan is joined by OutKick National College Sports Reporter Trey Wallace to break down two of the biggest storylines sending shockwaves through college football. First, Trey dives into the explosive legal and political feud between LSU, Lane Kiffin, and Greg Sankey's SEC office. Did the Tigers officially bend the knee to the conference by leaving former NFL roster cuts off their 105-man list, or is this just a temporary truce? T Then, Trey sets the scene from Austin ahead of the massive Texas–Ohio State showdown. After a rough outing against the Buckeyes a year ago, what does Arch Manning need to prove on the national stage to silence the skeptics, justify the Heisman hype, and deliver a statement win for the Longhorns on home turf?

We're revisiting a fan favorite this week: our September 2024 conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims, the exercise physiologist behind one of the most useful ideas in women's fitness: women are not small men, and their training shouldn't be built as if they were. We're getting excited because Dr. Sims is preparing to join us at the Super Age Games this November, and can't wait to celebrate women in sports, science, and longevity alongside her. In this episode, Dr. Sims breaks down why women over 40 need to emphasize heavy lifting and high-intensity intervals, and why perimenopause is the pivot point that changes almost everything about how a woman's body responds to exercise.Join Us at the 2026 Super Age Games!

The government has announced plans to require smartphones and tablets to block people from taking, sharing or viewing nude images by default, with adults able to switch the protection off after verifying their age. BBC Senior Technology Reporter Chris Vallance explains how it could work, while Soma Sara, founder of sexual violence campaign group, Everyone's Invited, tells us if it could protect young people from pressure, coercion and abuse.England Rugby's Red Roses will be taking part in a major international tournament throughout September and October. But one of the biggest conversations ahead of the WXV Global series is around changes to the size of the equipment. World Rugby will be trialling a smaller ball throughout the tournament. This ball is 3% smaller than the standard size used at elite level for men and women. The changes have had mixed reviews with some saying they are better designed for women to use, while others are concerned about the harm this could do to the image of the Women's game. Rocky Clark, former Rugby Union player and world cup winning red rose and CEO of Women in Sport, Stephanie Hilborne discuss the impact both on and off the pitch.The second in our series Daddy Issues where we look at the impact on women of having an absent father in their lives. On Monday we heard from Julie who didn't know her father's identity throughout her life. But what if your father has been present throughout your life - but then became absent due to an illness like dementia. How to navigate that? Hayley was the apple of her father's eye: “We were joined at the hip.” Her father Tony was formally diagnosed three years ago and lives with Hayley, her partner and their blended family. She has been documenting their journey on Instagram as a way of finding support for herself and helping other carers. Reporter Jo Morris went to meet them at the family home in Somerset. Singer songwriter Phoebe Bridgers made her Venice Film Festival debut this week. The topic of conversation around her red carpet appearance was not her role as an actor or her Gucci skirt but her visible leg hair. Body hair on the red carpet is often a hot topic - many will remember the furore over Julia Roberts's armpit hair at the premier of Notting Hill in 1999. But why are we still so bothered when a woman chooses not to wax or shave? Journalist Eilidh Doran has written about not always shaving herself and joins Nuala to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

Hello and welcome to today's episode – a bit off the normal schedule as I was teaching my Endometriosis Pain Management course over the weekend and then I was asked to come on the Claire Byrne show on Newstalk Radio to discuss the recent decision by the Spanish FA to support egg freezing for their female footballers. Understandably, it was a brief overview on the radio but of course…I have thoughts that need a bit longer to explore so I thought – why not do a podcast episode!In today's episode, I'm exploring:Why, at last, we are acknowledging that female athletes have reproductive lives!How this should prompt a broader conversation about supporting female athletes throughout their reproductive lives rather than just focusing on fertility preservation. I believe that female-specific health is fundamental to performance and outline the need for individualized, informed decision-making regarding pregnancy and postpartum participation in sport; good resources for this include FIFA's "Stay in Play" and "Stepping into Play" decision aids. I want to stress that supporting women requires addressing pelvic health, but also broader physical and psychological factors, and creating systems that allow athletes to make reproductive choices without compromising their sporting careers; advocating for an approach that recognizes women's physiological stages as integral rather than disruptive to athletic performance.But it's about physiology across the female lifespan, not just in elite sports. I believe that female athletes (actually all women!) should receive education about menstrual cycles, nutrition, fertility, and postpartum recovery, rather than being forced to choose between a sporting career and motherhood. I believe that supporting women's reproductive choices should be part of a broader conversation about creating an inclusive sporting environment that accommodates all women's life stages and decisions, from menstruation to menopause.I really want to rephrase the question about women in sports from "can women have it all" to "what can we change about our systems so women don't have to choose." I believe there's the need to create sporting environments that support women's health and bodies rather than requiring women to adapt to sports, a system that's designed to support the needs of male athletes.And of course…if you'd like to learn more about supporting female athletes, from recreational to high performance, at every age and stage…check out my online courses The Menstrual Detective, Pelvic Health for the Younger Female Athlete, Perinatal Pelvic Rehab (Preconception to Postpartum) and Flourish!

Camden Hoover | Surfing Without Limits: Shortboard, Longboard & Beyond

What happens when you refuse to let surfing fit into just one category? In this episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, I sit down with Camden Hoover, a surfer whose relationship with the ocean crosses different boards, different waves, and increasingly, different sides of competitive surfing. Camden is equally comfortable expressing herself on a shortboard or a longboard, bringing an approach to surfing built around versatility, progression, style, and a genuine love for being in the water. But her journey is evolving. Beyond competing and riding waves herself, Camden has also stepped into surf judging, giving her a completely different perspective on performance. Instead of only thinking about what she wants to do on a wave, she now has to observe other surfers, analyze their decisions, understand criteria, and evaluate what separates one performance from another. That experience brings us to an important recent chapter in her story. Camden participated as a judge at the 2026 Virginia Beach Super Girl Surf Festival, held over Labor Day weekend, September 5–7. Surfing was at the heart of the three-day event, anchored by a World Surf League QS4000 women's competition and surrounded by a much broader celebration of women in sport, music, wellness, and community. For Camden, however, what interests us is the view from the judging side. How does your understanding of surfing change when you stop being the competitor and start evaluating what is happening on the wave? Does judging make you look differently at your own surfing? And what can someone who rides both shortboards and longboards bring to that perspective? These questions form just one part of a much broader conversation. Throughout the episode, we explore Camden's personal surfing journey, her relationship with shortboarding and longboarding, competitive surfing, style, progression, and the experiences that continue to shape the surfer she is becoming. We talk about what draws her back to the ocean and why surfing doesn't need to be defined by one board, one discipline, or one idea of what a surfer is supposed to be. That versatility is perhaps what makes Camden's story particularly interesting. Modern surfing offers more possibilities than ever before. Competition can coexist with creativity. Performance can coexist with style. Shortboards and longboards can offer completely different experiences while sharing the same fundamental connection with the wave. And now, by experiencing surfing from the judge's chair as well as from the lineup, Camden is discovering yet another dimension of the sport. This episode is a conversation about surfing, competition, longboarding, shortboarding, judging, progression, surf culture, and following your own path through the ocean. Whether you love competitive surfing, traditional longboarding, high-performance shortboarding, or simply the feeling of riding waves, Camden's story is a reminder that there is no single way to be a surfer.

Reggie Jackson graced the August 30, 1976 cover of Sports Illustrated during the single strangest season of his Hall of Fame career — his lone year as a Baltimore Oriole. Fifty years later, the cover still surprises people who forget he ever played for anyone besides Oakland, the Yankees, or California. Jackson wasn't winding down; he was a superstar in his prime when A's owner Charlie Finley cut his salary 20% while dismantling Oakland's three-peat championship roster, prompting Jackson to refuse to sign and Finley to trade him to Baltimore that April. Even then, Jackson held out for a bigger deal and didn't report for a month, finally signing a $200,000 contract for that one season before moving to the Bronx Zoo in 1977. A decade later, Jackson would wind down his career in Oakland — and the person who watched it happen up close, night after night, was Susan Fornoff. A University of Maryland journalism grad who cut her teeth at the Baltimore News-American and USA Today, Fornoff took over as the A's beat writer for the Sacramento Bee in 1985, becoming one of the pioneering women fighting for real locker room access rather than the token accommodations most teams offered at the time. That fight produced one of the sport's most infamous incidents of hostility toward women reporters. A's slugger Dave Kingman froze Fornoff out of the clubhouse and refused to speak to reporters in her presence after his 400th home run, before escalating in 1986 by sending her a live rat in a box with a tag on it that read, “ My name is Sue”— an act that drew a $3,500 fine from the club but little in the way of contrition from Kingman himself. Fornoff went on to co-found the Association for Women in Sports Media in 1987, and in 1993 turned her experiences into the memoir Lady in the Locker Room: Uncovering the Oakland Athletics, chronicling sexism both in the clubhouse and inside sports departments, with a cast of characters that included Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Tony La Russa, Dennis Eckersley, Dave Stewart — and Reggie Jackson himself. Now Fornoff joins Past Our Prime to bring that history full circle, centering the conversation on Jackson's final major league season in 1987 and offering a beat reporter's view of Mr. October as his career wound down. She talks candidly about the Kingman incident, recalling a gut sense that something was off with him in the days before it happened, and reflects on how, even four decades later, the moment still carries weight for her in ways she didn't expect. From there she widens the lens to where women in sports media stand today, contrasting the hostility she faced breaking in during the '80s with the far more accepted — if still imperfect — landscape now.
