At Work with The Ready12. Breaking the Cycle of Meeting-ocrityIt seems everybody’s up in arms about meetings these days. “There’s too many! They ones we have suck! We have meetings to prepare for other meetings! They keep me from doing my actual job!” We get it, and we hear you. In fact, between BNW and our current show, we’ve devoted 9 episodes to meetings!

Fantasy Sharks RadioFantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Week 7 PreviewWe've reached the halfway point of the 2016 fantasy football regular season. And for every player who has met or exceeded expectations, there's been one who disappointed.
