The Standard is The Standard, featuring: Julian Turner

The A.C. Lee and Parlay Pete Podcast

Can your choice of footwear really say that much about you? We kick things off with a lively chat on how sneakers like Jordans, Yeezys, and New Balances collide with societal norms in social and business settings. Personal stories highlight the tug-of-war between personal style and dress code restrictions, sparking a wider debate on individuality versus conformity. From our own experiences, we explore the balancing act businesses face in implementing dress codes without crossing into discrimination, all while sharing a few laughs and unexpected insights into what our sneaker choices might suggest about us.
Switching gears, the episode shifts to the dynamics of football coaching and team leadership. With Julian Turner in the house, we dissect the Atlanta Falcons' search for a new defensive coordinator and the pulse of potential candidates like Wink Martindale and Steve Wilkes. Our conversation dances between the gridiron and the golden age of hip-hop, where we reminisce about icons like Future and Birdman. As we map out the paths to success for sports teams and musical legends alike, the importance of strategic changes and adaptability shines through, underlining the hope for brighter futures in both arenas.
Finally, the spotlight turns to the Pittsburgh Steelers and their challenges, with our insider Julian sharing his thoughts on the team's ongoing identity crisis. The importance of smart management and bold decisions in the modern NFL is laid bare, with discussions on trading high-value players like TJ Watt to maximize their worth. We wrap up with a broader analysis of the Steelers' playoff drought, questioning whether legendary coach Mike Tomlin's tenure is still justified. Reflecting on football, music, and more, this episode invites listeners to ponder the complex intersections of personal style, societal expectations, and leadership dynamics in sports and beyond.
