A heat wave has swept across metro Atlanta this week, with temperatures hitting 100 degrees. “Closer Look” host Rose Scott talks with Rounaq Basu, an assistant professor in the School of City and Regional Planning at Georgia Tech. Climate scientists warn that extreme heat events like this are becoming more frequent due to human-caused climate change. Basu discusses Georgia Tech's NO-HEAT (Neutralizing Onerous Heat Effects on Active Transportation) initiative, which aims to develop data-driven tools to help communities adapt to dangerous urban heat. Plus, we revisit Rose’s conversation with Adrienne Rice, the executive director of Sustainable Georgia Futures. During the discussion, Rice leads a climate gentrification tour through Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward and explains why she believes the neighborhood has been reshaped by climate-related development pressures. She also shares more about SGF’s mission to help historically marginalized communities grow and thrive in the green economy. Additional insight during the tour comes from Genesis Tilman, Drew Barnes, and Liyaah Rocha.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan shares his journey from helping launch the Oasis teen center, a project that fostered lifelong friendships and shaped the town's culture. The conversation highlights the importance of genuine connections, giving back, and cherishing every moment. Ryan also discusses his local insurance agency and the value of honesty in business. Listeners are left inspired by Grayslake's strong sense of community and the impact of small acts of kindness. Discovering Grayslake: Lessons in Community, Connection, and Contribution Grayslake, Illinois, is more than just a dot on the map—it's a living, breathing community shaped by the people who call it home. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, host David Woll sits down with Ryan Curtis, a lifelong resident and local leader, to explore what makes this town special. Their conversation is a masterclass in community building, personal resilience, and the power of genuine connection. This blog post dives deep into the main themes and actionable insights from their discussion. Whether you're a Grayslake local, a community organizer, or simply someone looking to make a difference where you live, you'll find valuable takeaways here. Table of Contents The Power of Community Collaboration Building Safe Spaces for Youth: The Oasis Story Cherishing Time and Relationships Finding Your Way to Give Back Leadership, Honesty, and Business with Heart The Ripple Effect: Small Actions, Big Impact Civic Engagement: Start Local, Start Now Final Thoughts: The Grayslake Way The Power of Community Collaboration Key Insight: Great communities are built by people who show up, work together, and care about each other. Ryan's journey in Grayslake is a testament to the transformative power of collaboration. The Oasis teen center, a cornerstone of his story, didn't materialize from a single person's vision—it was the result of students, parents, business owners, and volunteers coming together. Actionable Advice: Identify Shared Goals:** Start with a common purpose. For Oasis, it was creating a safe space for teens. Leverage Diverse Talents:** Not everyone needs to be a leader. Some are great at organizing, others at fundraising, and some at rolling up their sleeves for manual labor. Celebrate Small Wins:** Every step forward, from painting a wall to hosting a fundraiser, builds momentum and community pride. Keep the Door Open:** Welcome new faces and ideas. The more inclusive your project, the stronger your results. Expert Tip: “It takes an army,” Ryan says. Don't be afraid to ask for help or to offer it. Community is a team sport. Building Safe Spaces for Youth: The Oasis Story Key Insight: Youth need places where they can be themselves, free from judgment and pressure. Oasis was more than a building—it was a lifeline for Grayslake's teens. It offered after-school refuge, live music, and a sense of belonging. Ryan's involvement, from demolition to daily operations, highlights the importance of investing in young people. Actionable Advice: Listen to Youth Voices:** The original business plan for Oasis came from students. Let young people lead and shape the spaces meant for them. Adapt to Changing Needs:** As technology and social habits evolve, so should community offerings. Oasis closed before the pandemic, but its spirit lives on in new forms. Prioritize Safety and Inclusion:** Make sure every teen feels welcome, regardless of background or interests. Expert Tip: “The culture of Grayslake was built in places like Oasis,” Ryan reflects. Safe spaces for youth are investments in a town's future. Cherishing Time and Relationships Key Insight: Time is the one resource you can't get back. Cherish it, especially with loved ones. Ryan's story is deeply marked by the loss of his father, a man he describes as his best friend and moral compass. The lesson? Don't wait to appreciate the people around you. Actionable Advice: Be Present:** Put down your phone, turn off distractions, and give people your full attention. Create Traditions:** Ryan and his father exchanged pink golf balls as a reminder to cherish their time together. Find your own meaningful rituals. Express Gratitude:** Don't assume people know how much they mean to you. Tell them. Expert Tip: “Cherish every moment,” Ryan's father taught him. Make it a daily practice, not just a saying. Finding Your Way to Give Back Key Insight: There's no single path to community service. Find what fits your skills, interests, and schedule. After Oasis, Ryan continued to serve through the Grayslake Chamber of Commerce and the Exchange Club. He emphasizes that the organization matters less than the act of giving back. Actionable Advice: Start Small:** Volunteer for a single event or join a committee. You don't have to run the show to make a difference. Follow Your Passion:** Whether it's youth, business, the arts, or the environment, there's a place for you. Be Consistent:** Regular involvement, even if it's just a few hours a month, builds relationships and impact. Expert Tip: “It's about finding your outlet,” Ryan says. Don't wait for the perfect opportunity—just start. Leadership, Honesty, and Business with Heart Key Insight: Authenticity and transparency are the foundation of trust—in business and in life. Ryan's approach to his insurance agency mirrors his approach to community: help where you can, be honest when you can't, and always put people first. Actionable Advice: Be Upfront:** If you're not the right fit for a client or project, say so. People appreciate honesty over a forced relationship. Focus on Service, Not Sales:** Success comes from solving problems, not pushing products. Build Relationships:** Long-term success is built on trust, not transactions. Expert Tip: “Shoot you straight,” Ryan promises. Make this your business mantra. The Ripple Effect: Small Actions, Big Impact Key Insight: Little things—like holding a door or saying good morning—can change someone's day and, over time, a whole community. Ryan and David agree: kindness is contagious. The “butterfly effect” of a single class project led to a teen center, lifelong friendships, and even Ryan meeting his wife. Actionable Advice: Practice Everyday Kindness:** Smile, greet neighbors, and offer help without expecting anything in return. Share Your Story:** Vulnerability builds connection. Don't be afraid to let people see the real you. Encourage Others:** Recognize and celebrate the good work of those around you. Expert Tip: “Good things happen to good people,” David says. Be the good you want to see. Civic Engagement: Start Local, Start Now Key Insight: Local government and organizations have a direct impact on your daily life. Get involved. Ryan and David lament low voter turnout and encourage everyone to participate in local elections and community groups. Actionable Advice: Vote in Every Election:** Local officials make decisions that affect schools, safety, and services. Attend Meetings:** Show up to town halls, school board meetings, or chamber events. Voice Your Opinions—And Act:** Don't just complain; volunteer, organize, or run for office. Expert Tip: “Opinions are easy. Action is hard,” Ryan notes. Be a doer, not just a talker. Final Thoughts: The Grayslake Way Ryan Curtis's story is a love letter to Grayslake—a town where people look out for each other, where leaders are accessible, and where small acts of kindness add up to something extraordinary. His journey reminds us that community isn't built by accident; it's the result of everyday choices to show up, help out, and care. If you want to make your town a better place: Start with what you have and where you are. Cherish your time and relationships. Give back in ways that fit your life. Lead with honesty and heart. Never underestimate the power of small, genuine actions. Let's keep the Grayslake spirit alive—one neighbor, one act, one day at a time. Want More Stories Like This?

ZITADEL is pioneering the next generation of identity infrastructure, providing a developer-first platform that handles everything from basic authentication to complex multi-tenant B2B scenarios. With $11.5 million in funding and a unique open-source approach, ZITADEL has positioned itself as the "GitLab for identity" - offering both self-hosted and SaaS deployment options while maintaining flexibility through comprehensive APIs. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Florian Forster, CEO and Co-Founder of ZITADEL, who recently relocated from Switzerland to the Bay Area to accelerate the company's go-to-market efforts and tap into the massive US opportunity. Topics Discussed: ZITADEL's comprehensive identity platform covering authentication, authorization, and multi-tenant scenarios The company's innovative dual-licensing approach combining AGPL open source with commercial offerings Florian's strategic decision to relocate his entire family from Switzerland to the Bay Area The evolution from per-user pricing to capability-based pricing models Building a global team across three regions: Europe for engineering, US for go-to-market, and Argentina for customer success Marketing strategy focused 80/20 on developers versus buyers Cultural differences between European and American go-to-market approaches Future vision for AI risk mitigation and behavioral analytics in identity management GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Embrace "cash or code" open source strategy: Florian introduced the concept of "cash or code" - users either pay for commercial features or contribute meaningfully to the open source project. ZITADEL's shift from Apache to AGPL licensing ensures that free users contribute back to the community while commercial customers get enterprise features and SLAs. This dual-licensing approach creates sustainable economics while building a strong community foundation. Rethink pricing to align with customer value creation: ZITADEL is moving away from per-user pricing because, as Florian explains, "we are the system that makes users useful. So if we hinder our customers on creating users in the first place, it kind of defeats the whole idea." Instead, they're shifting to capability-based pricing where customers pay for specific features like compliance notifications rather than user seats. This removes friction from customer growth and better aligns pricing with actual value delivered. Focus marketing efforts on developers, not just buyers: ZITADEL discovered that an 80/20 split between developer-focused and buyer-focused marketing works best. Florian notes that "targeting the developer ultimately leads to us being in the debate when somebody procures a system like ours." Developers do the initial evaluation and recommendation, so winning them over is crucial for getting into procurement discussions with buyers. Leverage geographic arbitrage strategically: ZITADEL operates across three regions - Europe for core engineering (quality engineers at $100-250K vs $250-500K in Bay Area), US for go-to-market, and Argentina for customer success and sales engineering. This approach optimizes for both cost efficiency and timezone coverage while maintaining quality across all functions. Adapt messaging for cultural differences: Moving from Switzerland to the US taught Florian that "in US marketing, things get overinflated quite severely, but the buyer knows that and automatically deducts some of it." Europeans tend to under-market solid products, while US buyers expect and discount for marketing inflation. B2B founders must calibrate their messaging appropriately for different markets and buyer expectations.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this compelling episode, Dr. Torben Norby shares his expertise on contextual leadership, drawing from over two decades of experience spanning military service, retail management, and international business transformation. Torben breaks down contextual leadership into three core disciplines: understanding your context by identifying crucial performance factors, matching your leadership style through the balance of opening/closing and directing/sharing approaches, and actively shaping organisational structures and culture to promote performance. He reveals how military concepts like "leading through intent" have evolved into civilian applications, and shares a powerful real-world case study of helping a European organisation adapt during the Ukraine conflict by decoupling interdependencies and building contingent responses. Throughout the conversation, Torben addresses the challenge every leader faces: how to remain authentic while adapting to different contexts, whether leading a production team versus a marketing department, or managing across cultures from Denmark to China. He emphasises that successful contextual leadership requires building common ground around shared values and principles, then leveraging diversity rather than being fragmented by it. The episode concludes with Torben's warning about the most common implementation mistake: failing to involve people in organisational alignment, reminding us that "you can't tell an organisation to align - you can only do that by mobilisation and enrollment."   Connect with Torben: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drnoerby/ Website:  https://drnoerby.com/     ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Presenter explores Thermosol refill challenges, proprietary adapters, and DIY solutions to optimize mosquito repellent efficiency.

Proprietary butane adapters create refill barriers for Thermosol. 3D-printed adapters offer a customizable refill solution. Butane refill systems include nozzles tailored to Thermosol cartridges. Proprietary check valves in cartridges complicate refills. Pressure management is critical during refilling. Marking the fill line prevents overfilling. O-rings must be carefully removed to access check valves. A wood screw can extract the proprietary check valve. Refilled Thermosol devices often use Chinese-yum pads. Discolored pads indicate the need for replacement. Yard waste storage increases fire risk for Thermosol. "Slit in the middle" adapters enable effective refills. Adapter design mimics regular butane cartridge geometry. Fuel escape through slits rather than central tube. Overfilling leads to excessive pressure buildup. Reusing empty Thermosol containers via refills. Combining DIY methods with commercial refill kits. Alternative nozzles may fail without proper adapter. Proprietary valve removal enables long-term cost savings. RECOMMENDATIONS: Use 3D-printed adapters for Thermosol refills. Extract proprietary check valves with a wood screw. Mark the fill line to prevent overfilling. Replace o-rings carefully to avoid damage. Store Thermosol in fire-safe containers. Combine DIY slits with commercial nozzles. Swap out discolored pads regularly. Repurpose empty Thermosol containers via refills. Use a tapered object with a central slit for refills. Avoid proprietary adapters by modifying existing nozzles. Pressurize and depressurize during refill cycles. Source affordable Chinese-yum pads for replacements. Inspect valves for one-way check mechanisms. Follow video tutorials for adapter installation. Prioritize sealed containers for long-term storage. Adapt butane lighter attachments for Thermosol. Test refill methods with empty containers first. Document fill line marks for future reference. Compare DIY solutions to commercial refill kits. Advocate for open-standard Thermosol refills. Provide feedback on this episode.

You know the people who complain that Tom Cruise isn't a good actor? Well, those people clearly never saw Collateral (2004), Michael Mann's insightful thriller that puts Cruise and Jamie Foxx in the driver's seat.Collateral's hook is actually the least interesting thing about it - the conversations between Cruise and Foxx are where the film comes alive. Mann elevates the action with a gripping dichotomy between a heartless terror succeeding in his career and a decent, honest working man falling asleep at the wheel as the world passes him by.The Deep Question: What's a TV show you'd like to see adapted into a movie?This Week's Features:Collateral (2004)Message Jason and Ryan

Greece is in the middle of a new heatwave that will see temperatures pass 40 degrees celsius - or 104 Fahrenheit - this week.

Technology is no longer just a helpful tool for running small businesses. It has become the lifeline for small business success.  In this episode, Eric clarifies why technology is now non-negotiable when running a successful small business.  Tune in to learn why, as a small business owner, you must either evolve and adapt or risk getting left behind. AI Blackmail  An article on Entropic described a test scenario where AI named specific (fictional) people and made a blackmail demand. Even though the situation was fabricated for testing purposes, it highlighted the potential dangers of advanced AI behavior. A Double-Edged Sword Every major invention in history has had the potential for great harm and tremendous benefit. The outcome depends entirely on how humans choose to use these tools. AI is no exception. It represents a societal shift similar to the Industrial Revolution, with its presence growing across all industries. Today, adaptation is essential, especially in the meetings and events space, where technology is now deeply integrated. Those who ignore it risk becoming irrelevant.  From Fax Machines to Automation During his early business days in Brussels, Eric used to manually collect faxed proposals in the evenings after doing sales visits by day. Now, 70% of that work can be automated. Standard proposals and client-facing documents can now be systematized using technology, drastically reducing the time and effort required. People vs. Tech In the past, hiring a high-level executive assistant in Belgium came at a significant cost to Eric due to their high social security contributions. Today, however, business owners can find skilled virtual assistants anywhere in the world for a fraction of the cost.  Smarter Prospecting with AI Aspects of prospecting that used to take hours of manual outreach before can now be streamlined with CRM systems and AI. By scanning the online presence of a prospect through their LinkedIn profile, AI can recommend tailored messaging and communication strategies, making outreach faster, more personal, and far more effective. Embrace AI Now Now is the time to embrace AI and new technologies. Those who do so will be better positioned for success. So, whether you are starting a new business or evolving an existing one, tech literacy is a must.  Face-to-Face Is Still Irreplaceable Even with the rise of AI, the human connection is likely to become more valuable, not less, as people always crave genuine, in-person experiences.  Bio: Eric Rozenberg Eric is a business builder and the founder of Event Business Formula, the only platform exclusively dedicated to helping and supporting business owners in the Meetings & Events Industry.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry is joined by executive coach Steve Allred for a thought-provoking discussion on why understanding your healthcare practice's current operations is the key to navigating—and thriving in—a rapidly changing industry.Six months after their last conversation, Jerry and Steve revisit the critical need for practice owners to optimize their businesses before adding new revenue streams, technology, or expansion strategies. From financial literacy to efficient systems and leadership delegation, they break down the foundational elements that allow clinic owners to adapt to industry shifts—whether it's value-based care, direct-to-employer models, or AI integration.Key Takeaways:• Master Your Metrics: If you don't understand your financials, workflows, and key performance indicators, you're unprepared for change—and risk being left behind.• Systems Over Hustle: You can't scale or innovate if you're bogged down by day-to-day operations. Build systems that free up your time to lead and strategize.• Adapt or Get Replaced: Complaining about insurers, regulations, or competitors won't move the needle. The future belongs to those who leverage technology, data, and new care models proactively.• Opportunity in Disruption: From hybrid care to primary care PT, those who embrace change (instead of resisting it) will find untapped revenue and impact.Steve also shares a free financial tool to help practice owners model the true cost and ROI of hiring a new clinician—because decisions should be driven by data, not fear.Whether you're a solo practitioner or a multi-clinic owner, this episode is a wake-up call: Get your house in order now, or risk being outpaced by those who do.Check out Steve's customizable financial model at this link: https://subscribepage.io/9jHCI8Website: practicefreedomu.comEmail: steve@practicefreedomu.com If you'd like to learn more about Strata EMR & RCM and achieving a 99.99% reimbursement rate for your PT, OT, or SLP Clinic head over to stratapt.com and book a demo with their team!

Gary and Mike also explore the uneasy dance between lawmen and mobsters—a world where unexpected moments of mutual respect could coexist with threats of violence. Mike shares stories of face-to-face encounters with figures like Rusty Rastelli of the Bonanno Family, offering rare insights into how respect, fear, and human decency sometimes blurred the lines between hunter and hunted. The episode dives even deeper into the chase for Alphonse “Allie Boy” Persico of the Colombo Family. Mike recounts the painstaking hours of investigation, the calculated street-level work, and the tension that came with tracking a fugitive deeply embedded in a culture of secrecy and retribution. His personal stories illuminate how local knowledge and personal relationships can make or break a case. This conversation crosses borders, too. Mike recalls his work in Sicily, where American and Italian law enforcement collaborated to disrupt crime syndicates that spanned the Atlantic. From tense raids to split-second tactical decisions, these stories reveal the global scope of the mob and the relentless pursuit of those who hunt them. Throughout the episode, Mike doesn't shy away from the psychological cost of the job, navigating threats from criminal networks while maintaining unbreakable bonds with fellow officers. He reflects on these life-changing experiences in his book, Adapt and Overcome, which he describes as part memoir, part raw look at the human side of life on the front lines of America's war against organized crime. For true crime fans, mob history buffs, or anyone fascinated by the delicate balance of law enforcement in high-risk territory, this episode is packed with vivid stories and personal reflections that remind us what it truly takes to track—and confront—the mob.

This episode of Overcoming Distractions features a conversation with Kat O'Sullivan, author of From Doubt to Do: Navigating Your Path to Possibility. Dave and Kat explore how individuals, especially those with ADHD, can overcome self-doubt and embrace significant life changes. Kat shares her personal journey of moving to Mexico during the pandemic, highlighting the critical steps and mindset shifts needed to transform seemingly impossible goals into tangible realities. This discussion will resonate with anyone looking to make bold moves and leverage their adult ADHD. Here's some important advice from the episode: Embrace Your "Positives": For individuals with ADHD, what might be labeled as "negative traits" like hyperactivity or hyperfocus can actually be powerful assets in the right environment. Reframe these characteristics as strengths that offer unique advantages, such as excelling in sales or problem-solving. Challenge Doubt with Questions: When faced with a big decision or feeling stuck, ask yourself, "What if it is possible?" and "What am I not seeing yet?" The word "yet" is particularly powerful, as it acknowledges current limitations while opening the door to future possibilities and solutions. The Four C's: Kat introduces a framework of four critical "C's" to navigate change: Courage: Have the courage to confront your situation and your mindset head-on. Clarity: Get clear on what you truly want and, more importantly, why it matters to you. This "why" provides the conviction needed to push through challenges. Commitment: Make a "hell yes" commitment to your decision. This unwavering resolve is what propels you forward when obstacles arise. Capacity: Build your capacity by learning what you need to get things done, and practice self-compassion. This involves understanding your personal working style and identifying the support you need. Be Methodical, Not Just Impulsive: While embracing opportunity is key, especially for those prone to impulsivity, major life changes require a methodical approach. Conduct thorough research, create detailed checklists, and break down large goals into manageable, step-by-step processes. Address External Doubts: Be prepared for skepticism from others, and don't let their fears derail your plans. Re-ground yourself by focusing on "what's at stake if I don't do it," rather than solely on the risks of taking action. Expect and Adapt to Hiccups: It's normal to encounter unforeseen challenges, especially when embarking on something new. Don't beat yourself up when things don't go as planned. Instead, return to your "what" and "why," and figure out the next step. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one? Go to www.overcomingdistractions.com and book an introductory Zoom chat.
