Clutch

But, like, you know, I, I am curious if we do get to talk to him, 'cause last year he was not [laughs] a part of the media day.

Uh, shout out to Clutch.

Uh, but, like, if he is available, I would love to ask him about his, like, off-season work ethic, right? Like, watching film at dinner with Pops at like, I think Fleming's was it, the, the steakhouse down there.

And, like, I think, like, that kind of stuff is, like, the extra that kind of is something that will get him some minutes this year.

Like, the, the bulking up in the off-season that we've noticed, like, the physical changes, and then also the, the, the, the dedication, like, off the court it seems is there.

So I, I kinda wanna ask him, like, what is his vision for himself, like, as a player and, like, how is he working to get to that? 'Cause, like, there must be a plan, right? You and I talk about this all the time on this podcast.

Bryce James would not be a University of Arizona Wildcat if he, Tommy Lloyd, and Clutch were not on the same page about what his development looks like, what his role looks like, you know, what his timeline to b- having a role looks like.

He wouldn't be here if there wasn't a plan that was already in place and that was on track to get completed.

Uh, before we get into more stories and topics for the show, if you're new to the show, mostly for YouTube, I'm talking to you guys right now, all the new viewers, welcome to the number one automotive-related podcast on planet Earth.

We talk about news, trends, market predictions, but more importantly, we give you a good hang each and every Monday.

And if you wanna send us an email, it's clutchculturepodcast@gmail.com. Did you see the, uh, new AMG, I guess just an unveil of sorts, the CL, what is it? CLE, uh, 464 or f- or 646?

Yeah, I saw it.

It looks cool.

Spoiler alert, it's in Sacramento.

In part two, I'm joined by James Regan, CEO of Clutch.

Clutch is a social impact consulting firm based out of Sacramento, California, and was one of our platinum sponsors at Critical Effect DC.

James shares a little bit about his panel at Critical Effect and what we can expect from the Californian version.

Finally, in part three, we welcome Palo Alto's Adam Rabi, a longtime friend of the podcast, Adam co-authored the 2026 Intelligence-Driven Active Defense Report, a joint research project by Palo Alto Networks, Siemens, and the Idaho National Laboratory, bringing global telemetry from 61,000 operational technology firewalls in 20 years of incident data.

And a different type of state level event version of Critical Effect in September in Sacramento.

Stay tuned.

Hi, I'm James Regan and I'm the CEO of Clutch.

And Homeward Jackson is slated to kick off this month in the city.

The program, which it was designed by Clutch Consulting Group, a nonprofit out of Houston.

Everything's Clutch City.

Do they build clutches in Houston? Like, is it an automotive? Will you Google why Houston's called Clutch City? Do what? I said I'm down

right

now.

Well, why is Full Stop? Full stop.

We're going to ask.

Google obviously allows so much for that to happen, as does so many other sites.

We use Clutch, which is a great.

agency review platform which is a review our clients review us but when you get commentary in a reputable magazine and you are quoted again that's a really great third party review and the reason why it matters is because Again, this is not just about trust.

This is about belief.

it helps massively.

Design Rush is one, Clutch is another, Yelp, Yell.

There's all of these industry-based directories that you can get listed on, but I feel like not many people are driving it forward and getting the most bang for their buck.

And some of them, by the way, are like premium directories.
