Accidents happen. Some are worse than others. For a creative, a total computer crash is not great—especially when under a heavy deadline.

Scott & A talk about how we dealt with it during the final weeks of Scott’s active deadline for SLAY. What plans and procedures did we already have in place that let us keep writing? What did we miss that hurt us? What should you do to protect your priceless work?

Pro tip: no matter how you back up — be sure to back up. Even just a flash drive separate from your computer can help.

When the new golf start-up LIV appeared on the scene in 2022, it really upended the very polished and traditional golf world. A smaller course, teams, and even theme music.   

This is really a story about what happens when a hundred-year-old institution collides with unlimited money. At least for a while. 

Scott & A chat about the changes and what’s next.

On this episode, we look at the recent NFL Collusion scandal, where the NFL Players Association filed a grievance, basically saying:

“Hey, we think owners are quietly working together to limit guaranteed contracts.”

So did NFL owners secretly agree not to pay players?

The careful answer is:

The arbitrator reportedly found the league encouraged owners to reduce guaranteed contracts…

…but ruled there wasn’t enough evidence proving coordinated collusion between teams.

We chat all about it.
