Bob makes the case that Bird was far better than his reputation suggests, breaking down his three straight All-Defensive Second Team selections, his ability to clamp down situationally late in games, and his most iconic defensive moments including the steal on Isaiah Thomas and a legendary 36-point, 21-rebound clinic against the Lakers.

Going viral is not the same thing as building a real business. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why chasing the algorithm can become one of the biggest distractions for entrepreneurs, and why real long-term success comes from discipline, consistency, and strong business fundamentals. Because let's be real… If your income depends entirely on whether a platform decides to push your content… You are not in control. The platform is. In this episode, you'll learn: Why viral views do not automatically create a profitable business How chasing trends can pull entrepreneurs away from the fundamentals Why weak sales systems get exposed when more attention comes in How owning your audience and customer data gives you real leverage Why fulfillment, retention, and customer experience matter more than hype Platforms change. Algorithms shift. Trends disappear. But work ethic, consistency, and strong business systems never go out of style. Too many entrepreneurs focus on: Views Likes Trends Virality Algorithm hacks But elite operators focus on: Conversions Retention Customer relationships Systems Execution Long-term value No chasing hype. No depending on lucky breaks. No building a business around attention you do not control. Just real infrastructure, direct communication, and consistent value delivered every single day. The truth is simple: The entrepreneurs who win online are not the ones who chase every trend. They are the ones who outwork the noise, master the basics, and build something that lasts.

In a podcast earlier this week, Former First Lady Michelle Obama had some wisdom for the Gen Z generation (aged between 14 and 29) when it comes to employment and their work ethic. She said she wants Gen Z to understand that every experience, the bad boss, the boring assistant job, the job you weren't appreciated in, the one that didn't give you the assignment you wanted when you wanted it, all of that is teaching them to be resilient. Why is it important to learn to endure a boring job, a bad boss or setbacks? Well, she believes Gen Z's need for instant gratification means they aren't getting the experiences they need to develop the skills needed to be good leaders. She feels young people today want to do what they want to do, or what they are good at, but it's just as valuable to learn to do something they don't want to do, and to do it well. I think Michelle Obama has a really good point. Sometimes in a job you just have to suck it up to get the money and experience needed to help you get to where you want to be. But I'd argue that many young people are working jobs they don't particularly enjoy. With a 17- and 19-year-old, I see it all around me. Whether they're high school students earning some spending cash, university students working part time to pay for their education and living costs, those who've been told by their parents to ‘learn or earn', or graduates taking whatever job they can get. I also see lots of students with work experience applying constantly for jobs and getting nowhere. So no, I don't see a lazy generation afraid of a job they don't like. What we do have though is a difficult youth job market. Stats NZ figures show youth unemployment has risen substantially since 2022. The share of young people not in work, education, or training remains at its highest since the pandemic at 14.4% in the March 2026 quarter. New Zealand's overall unemployment rate was 5.3% in March, up from the unusually low rates seen during 2022–2023 and young workers are usually the first group affected when hiring slows. We also know entry-level and graduate jobs appear harder to obtain because competition has increased, employers are hiring more cautiously, and, if Reddit is anything to go by, employers want graduates with 1 to 3 years' experience, even for "entry-level" jobs. I think you'll find most young people are taking what they can get – scarcity of jobs means being choosy isn't an option. Or course there will always be some who find life easier sitting on the couch and taking a benefit – there always has been. Maybe, it's the slightly different approach to work that irks the rest of us a little. Gen Zs typically put more importance on work-life balance, mental health, meaningful work, and flexible working arrangements. This can be frustrating for employers, but there are plenty of middle-aged workaholics who have belatedly realised there's real value in work-life balance. They're one step ahead of us on some things. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Jason is joined by world-renowned dancer, entrepreneur, and Dancing With The Stars legend, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, for a conversation about career longevity, entrepreneurship, financial lessons, family, and the relentless work ethic that has fueled every chapter of his life.Before becoming one of the most recognizable faces in ballroom dance, Maks immigrated to the United States from Ukraine with his family in search of opportunity. Arriving in Brooklyn without speaking English and with little more than determination, he quickly immersed himself in the growing ballroom dance community that would eventually become the foundation for an extraordinary career.Maks reflects on his rise from competitive dance champion to one of Dancing With The Stars' most iconic professionals, sharing how the show evolved into a cultural phenomenon spanning multiple generations. He explains why the current success of Dancing With The Stars isn't an accident, how social media transformed the show's reach, and why today's professional dancers are becoming stars in their own right.Beyond television, Maks opens up about the business side of his career. He shares lessons learned from building a nationwide dance studio company, launching new ventures, investing in businesses, and navigating costly entrepreneurial mistakes along the way. From a failed restaurant venture that never opened to learning hard lessons about money management and lifestyle inflation, Maks reveals the financial realities behind life in entertainment.Jason and Maks also discuss the importance of diversification, building businesses outside of television, and why financial success isn't just about making money — it's about learning how to keep it. Maks explains how he and his wife, fellow Dancing With The Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd, continue balancing entrepreneurship, parenthood, and multiple growing businesses while raising three young children.The conversation also takes a deeply personal turn as Maks reflects on his upbringing, his parents' sacrifices, the emotional moment his father expressed pride in his accomplishments, and the perspective he carries from staying closely connected to the ongoing war in Ukraine.Throughout the episode, Maks shares the mindset that has guided him through success, setbacks, criticism, and reinvention. Whether discussing dance, business, family, or personal growth, one theme remains constant: an unwavering commitment to hard work.From immigration and ballroom dance to entrepreneurship and fatherhood, Maks reveals what it truly takes to build a lasting career while continuing to evolve long after the spotlight shifts.Maks reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyVideo: Marc ColcerGuest: Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Most lawyers are not lazy. They are overloaded. Most lawyers are not afraid of hard work. They stay late, care deeply about clients, and push themselves constantly. But eventually many firm owners hit a frustrating reality: despite all the effort, they still feel stuck. Lots of motion. Not enough progress. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with Scott Pioli, three-time Super Bowl executive and former Patriots VP of Player Personnel, to explore what separates people who simply work hard from those who consistently perform at an elite level. After decades building championship teams alongside Bill Belichick, Scott learned something most professionals miss: sustainable success does not come from grinding harder. It comes from developing better habits, better preparation, better feedback systems, and a clearer understanding of what actually drives performance. Throughout the conversation, Scott shares the work habits and mindset shifts that shaped his career, the humility required to keep improving, and why high performing cultures are often "uncomfortably demanding." Steve and Scott also unpack the role of friction, accountability, and honest feedback in personal growth, leadership, and law firm success. If you feel exhausted despite working hard, this episode will challenge the way you think about productivity, leadership, and law firm growth and help you build a more intentional path to high performance. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: The critical difference between work ethic and work habits The preparation systems Scott used while building championship NFL teams How prioritization separates elite performers from overwhelmed professionals Why self-awareness and humility are essential to growth Scott's unusual color-coding and note-taking system for retaining information What "uncomfortably demanding" leadership actually means How friction and disagreement can improve performance instead of damaging teams Why elite cultures are built intentionally, not accidentally ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

We kick off the month of June with an episode devoted to quotes from my gift book for graduates called "Inspiration for the Graduate." I wrote it as a gift book for me to give to my graduating senior athletes whom I coached. Pretty soon after I wrote it, though, I had other coaches wanting to give it to their graduates, too, so I turned it into a book to sell. It has been my bestselling book by far.The book focuses on 10 team themes, each one being focused on in its own chapter. The chapters are then filled with quotes about those themes. Today's episode features the first 5 themes - Work Ethic, Discipline, Poise, Enthusiasm, and Confidence. Next week, I will focus on the other 5 themes.If you are interested in purchasing the book, go to the Shop page of my website, slamdunksuccess.com, or you can purchase it on Amazon.As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you. While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis.

In this week's episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, hosts Dan and Tom dive deep into why the "f*** around and find out" method might actually be the absolute best way of learning lifting techniques, mastering gym equipment, and building a successful business. We're breaking down the physics of the landmine press, how to optimise coaching sheets without being a lazy online coach, and why real-world personal trainers need to start problem-solving instead of just copying YouTube videos.

Eric Jorgenson on The Book of Elon: High-Effort Optimism, Imagination, and AI SuperpowersDanny hosts Eric Jorgensen to discuss The Book of Elon and how studying Elon Musk reshaped Eric's imagination through “high effort optimism,” pairing an ambitious vision of the future with the grind to close the gap between fiction and reality. Eric shares practical imagination habits (asking “why/why not,” learning from history like the Wright brothers), his biography-style research process (collecting millions of words of public sources, distilling into a tightly curated 50,000-word “Elon speaks to you” experience), and how he balances memorable sentences with stories. They explore curation vs originality, Elon's influences (including Napoleon), learning as behavior change, misconceptions about Elon being money-motivated, and a “solarpunk” future blending nature with technological abundance. They also discuss AI as a tool, education models like Alpha School, and adapting careers to rapid AI-driven change.00:00 Welcome and Imagination00:58 High Effort Optimism02:31 Habits to Think Bigger04:29 Research and Curation Method08:15 Memorable Sentences and Stories10:21 Creativity Without Originality14:10 Elon's Influences and Strategy18:16 Reprogramming Through Practice19:45 Applying Ideas and Teaching22:38 Work Ethic and Tradeoffs28:49 Crisis Mode Mindset29:28 Wealth Versus Mission31:35 Gates Tesla Short Story33:51 Changing Minds On Elon36:13 Writing With AI Tools40:25 Rethinking School With AI43:05 Career Superpowers Era47:36 Solarpunk Future Vision51:28 High Effort Optimism

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant dives into the importance of teaching your kids a strong work ethic in a culture that often settles for average. Drawing from Do Hard Things and Wonderful by Travis Spencer, Alex unpacks what it really takes to develop grit, resilience, and excellence in the next generation. He also brings insight from a radio conversation with Dr. Jared Webster on preparing students for college and real life. The message is clear, start early, don't lower the bar, and don't back down when there's pushback. If we want our kids to rise above average, we have to expect more and lead them there.

From “third outside” to college commit, Ava Ketelsen shows what happens when you refuse to coast, outwork everyone in the weight room, and turn setbacks into fuel. Welcome to Oak Performance Radio, where we talk about what it really takes to perform at a high level. The show looks at training, preparation, and decision-making through real athletes, coaches, and experiences, on and off the field.Episode Highlights In today's episode, Adam Lane sits down with VC United outside hitter and Upper Iowa commit Ava Ketelsen to walk through how she went from a late-arriving small-club athlete to one of the hardest-working players in the gym. They talk about her rough start at a bigger club, the mindset that kept her from quitting, and why serious volleyball players can't afford to treat the weight room like an option.Episode Outline Ava's move from a small hometown club to VC United and Oak PerformanceEarly struggles with playing time and position change to outside hitterHow she used the weight room and training to change her role on the courtMindset: not quitting, using setbacks as fuel, and leading by exampleThe impact of facilities, coaching, and culture on her growthPreparing for college volleyball at Upper Iowa, and what she wants to be known for.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro & who is Ava Ketelsen01:04 From small club to VC United02:30 First impressions of Oak & feeling intimidated03:26 Early setbacks and limited playing time04:48 Mindset after a disappointing first tournament06:32 Discovering the weight room and real training08:00 Position change to outside hitter10:42 Breakthrough tournament in Kentucky12:29 Connecting hard lifting to on-court performance14:07 Coming from a bare-bones club to top facilities18:09 Year two at VC: team culture and coaching19:53 Leading by example for younger athletes21:01 Goals for college and what she wants to be known for22:14 Regrets and wishing she started sooner25:23 Confidence, body image, and loving the work27:19 Not quitting when it would've been easy28:16 Outro & where to follow AvaAction Taken Adam commits to helping Ava prepare for Upper Iowa so she arrives ready to compete.  Conclusion Ava's story is not about being the most naturally gifted athlete in the gym.

What if I told you your biggest staffing frustrations might have less to do with Gen Z—and more to do with the culture we've created around work? This episode isn't about criticizing younger employees—it's about reflecting on what we tolerate, reward, and model inside our practices. I talk about the differences I've observed between Japanese and American workplace culture, how it impacts orthodontic teams, and why leaders may need to rethink the systems and expectations they've created. If you've ever struggled with ghosting, disengagement, accountability, or team culture in your office, this episode will challenge you to look deeper—and maybe see the problem from an entirely different angle.Quotes“It's crystal clear that the work ethic here for the younger generation is very different, at least on the surface, from what I see in the U.S.” — Dr. Glenn Krieger“I'm starting to believe that a lot of the problems we face in the U.S. are functions of the U.S. and the way we maybe tolerate some of the behavior that we see as employers.” — Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro: Lessons from Tokyo & Triforce Academy (00:00)Cultural nuances and work ethic observations in Japan (00:45)The growing conversation around Gen Z in the workforce (01:00)Is this a generational issue or a societal one?

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This episode finally brings a long-awaited conversation to life with Kent Kohli, a name many in the industry recognize—but maybe don't fully know the story behind. From an unexpected entry into dentistry (thanks to marrying his orthodontist's daughter) to becoming a lifelong student of ceramics and education, Kent's journey is anything but typical. What starts as a pre-dental path quickly shifts once Kent discovers the lab side of dentistry—and more importantly, where his passion truly lives. From pouring models and grinding metal to studying under legends like John Archibald, Kent shares how mentorship, curiosity, and relentless work ethic shaped his career. Along the way, he opens up about the early struggles—working 100-hour weeks, barely making ends meet, and choosing quality over the “race to the bottom” that burned out many of his peers. Kent dives deep into the evolution of dental technology, from the early days of PFMs and Empress to today's digital workflows and liquid ceramics. But at the heart of it all is a consistent theme: education. Whether it's learning from the “giants” of the industry or now helping guide the next generation through his role at Ivoclar, Kent sees it as a responsibility to pass on what was given to him. He also shares insights into his current mission—bringing hands-on education back to the forefront, blending traditional techniques with modern materials, and helping technicians elevate their craft beyond just production. Rising costs, tighter deadlines, and greater demands are challenging labs everywhere. When efficiency matters, you need tools that deliver—every day. Roland DGShape milling solutions are reliable and easy to use. Just turn them on and let them run—no babysitting required. Fewer remakes and less wasted material mean your team can focus on getting cases out the door. With the Elevate Denture solution, step into digital dentures without disrupting your workflow. Validated CAM strategies and Ivoclar compatibility mean you're building on a system you already trust. Ready to boost efficiency?

In this episode of The Work Ethic Podcast, host Bidemi Ologunde sits down with comedian, actor, and martial artist Peter Liu for a conversation about culture, family, identity, and the discipline behind building a life in stand-up comedy. How does moving across cultures shape a comic's voice? When does comedy shift from instinct to craft? What does work ethic look like in a career built on rejection, timing, and constant experimentation? Bidemi and Peter explore the early influences behind his perspective, the lessons learned from open mics and bigger stages, and how he continues to sharpen his material while staying connected to the everyday observations that make his comedy resonate.

Steve and Charlie listened to LSU head baseball Jay Johnson after the Tigers' midweek victory over Southeastern Louisiana.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. CAM has been a major topic lately, and a lot of that conversation keeps coming back to hyperDENT. But instead of just talking about the software itself, it's worth looking at real-world experience. Imagine USA has been using hyperDENT in their own lab for over 15 years. That kind of longevity says a lot—they're not just selling and supporting it, they're relying on it in their own production every single day. That's what really sets them apart. This week's episode brings it full circle as Elvis reconnects with one of the podcast's very first guests, Renata Bundy, now a longtime professor at New York City College of Technology. Along with her are two technicians who represent both sides of the journey—lab owner Roberto Rossi and workflow master Eugene Vega—creating a conversation that dives deep into education, mentorship, and what it really takes to succeed in today's dental lab world. Roberto shares his unlikely path from working sanitation in New York to building a thriving lab, Synergy Dental Studio, over nearly three decades. With a relentless focus on quality, constant improvement, and embracing digital (while still questioning it), he explains how his lab has grown into a tight-knit, high-level operation. Eugene adds perspective from inside the lab, describing his evolution from student to managing daily workflow, highlighting how important environment, mentorship, and work ethic are when transitioning from school to real-world production. Renata ties it all together from the educational side, reflecting on over 20 years of teaching and how the program has evolved alongside the industry—from analog fundamentals to digital workflows—while still preparing students for the realities they'll face after graduation. The group doesn't shy away from the tough truths either: low starting pay, steep learning curves, and the high dropout rate among new technicians. But the message is clear—stick with it, find the right lab, and the opportunity is there. It's a conversation about growth, grit, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people—whether that's in the classroom or the lab. And if nothing else, you'll learn that a little Italian lunch might just be the secret to building a loyal team.Special Guests: Eugene Vega, Renata Budny, CDT, TE, and Roberto Rossi.

The hosts discuss feedback from a four-day elk-hunting class with 44 attendees and their podcast, which listeners said is as much about being a man as hunting. They reflect on teaching children work ethic, contrasting physically demanding jobs with current work, and emphasize not "ruining" work ethic by excluding kids from helping; a friend's advice is to let a child assist with projects even if it's inefficient. They talk about giving kids autonomy without overprotection, Wyatt leaving for a demanding summer deckhand job on an Alaska sport-fishing boat out of Seward, and the father's hope he's prepared him. The conversation covers treating kids' ideas with increasing respect, learning alongside them, maintaining love through conflict, and grounding parenting in biblical themes of love and measured, purposeful anger.
