Algae that keeps coming back can make even great pool techs feel like they are chasing ghosts, especially when a customer says, “But we already added the mineral unit.” I'm joined by Fred Square from PoolRx to get brutally practical about what actually changes outcomes: correct sizing by gallons, clean filtration, smart placement, and pump run time that lets minerals dissolve the right way instead of dumping into the pool all at once. If you want clearer water with lower chlorine demand, the details in your install and maintenance routine matter more than another round of shock. We also tackle the question I hear nonstop: where do the minerals go, and do they “build up” as metal in the water? Fred explains how chelated minerals are protected through their useful life, then get used up and filtered out during normal operation and filter cleaning. From there we dig into a big misunderstanding around pool stains. PoolRx often gets blamed for stains that are really caused by existing metals like iron or copper already in the fill water, old plumbing, or a tired heater exchanger, and aggressive oxidation from shocking can make those stains appear suddenly. We lay out a clean workflow: test for metals first, remove them, retest, then install with confidence. Finally, we cover PoolRx compatibility with common pool systems and chemicals, including borates, enzymes, phosphate removers, salt pools, UV, ozone, and AOP. We also share the simple cal hypo bucket method that helps prevent those ugly black surface spots when granular shock sits on the floor. If you're a pool service pro looking for fewer algae callbacks and a simple chlorine enhancer story you can explain to customers, this one will help. Subscribe, share this with a pool friend, and leave a review with the question you want answered next.We talk with Fred Shweer from PoolRx about why mineral systems succeed or fail based on sizing, filtration, and install habits, and how to troubleshoot algae without guessing. We also dig into metals, staining myths, and the real-world compatibility rules that keep pool water clear and predictable.  • sizing PoolRx correctly by gallons and keeping chemistry in range  • cleaning and recharging filters properly, especially DE grids  • placing the unit in the right spot for flow and safety  • running the pump after install to prevent mineral dumping  • understanding where minerals go as they get used up and filtered out  • preventing stains by testing for iron and copper before adding minerals  • removing trace metals with a skimmer or pump basket metal trap bag  • ignoring inconsistent copper readings after installation due to chelation  • knowing when to add a booster based on chlorine demand and water clarity • handling cal hypo safely by dissolving and diluting first  Learn more at swimming poollearning.com  If you're interested in the coaching program that I offer, you can learn more at PoolGuyCoaching.com  Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

A black stain shows up on the pool floor right after you add cal-hypo and your brain jumps straight to “drain it and acid wash.” We slow that moment down and explain what's usually happening: copper that was already there, hiding as copper sulfate, getting oxidized by chlorine into black copper oxide. Once you understand that chemistry, you stop chasing the symptom and start fixing the cause. We also get practical about what actually works in pool stain removal and metal control. Ascorbic acid can lift a stain, but it doesn't remove copper from the water, which is why stains can come roaring back after you chlorinate. We talk through the real role of sequestrants and chelating agents, why they break down from photodegradation and oxidizers like chlorine, non-chlorine shock, UV, ozone, and AOP, and why following the dosing label is the difference between control and repeat stains. If you want a longer-term solution, we cover metal removal options like Q-Lator setups and the blunt but effective drain-and-refill approach, plus better cal-hypo handling so it dissolves instead of sitting on the surface. Then we shift into two “easy to ignore” problems that turn expensive fast: algae and zero chlorine. Algae multiplies by cell division, builds a protective polysaccharide layer, and punishes anyone who waits a week to respond. And when a pool has no chlorine residual, the risk isn't just cloudy water, it's bather-to-bather disease transmission. You'll even hear a simple post-swim warm shower tip to reduce exposure when you're not sure about water quality. Subscribe, share this with a pool pro or homeowner, and leave a review if it helped you prevent the next stain or outbreak.A bag of cal-hypo can “create” a black stain in seconds, but the real problem is usually hidden copper that oxidizes into black copper oxide. We break down how to remove metals for the long haul, why algae gets out of hand fast, and why a chlorine residual is the only real shield against bather-to-bather disease transmission.  • copper sulfate stains hiding in blue water, then turning black when shocked  • ascorbic acid lifting stains but leaving metals behind  • sequestrants and chelating agents binding metals, then degrading from sunlight and oxidizers  • removing metals with Q-Lator options or by draining and refilling  • preventing cal-hypo from sitting on the pool floor by pre-dissolving and dispersing  • algae multiplying fast, forming a polysaccharide shield, and why brushing matters  • why swimming with zero chlorine raises disease risk and what a warm shower can do after  Learn more at swimming poollearning.com.  If you have the coaching program that offer you can learn more at poolcoaching.com.  Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Eine riesige Altstadt auf steilen Klippen, fast unwirklich schön. Nur dass hier seit 900 Jahren Menschen wohnen, die auch noch nett sind und maximal genießen können. Jochen war im Schweizer Fribourg, wo man ein paar Minuten vom Bahnhof in eine wunderschöne Welt gleitet, die beschaulich und lebendig zugleich ist. Er kann sich nicht sattsehen an einer Stadt, die auf mehreren Ebenen aus dem Fels wächst. Die Flüsse, die Gassen, die schönen Bauten. Ja, es gibt Sehenswürdigkeiten wie die Standseilbahn von 1899, aber fast noch mehr bewegt ihn, wie nett die Leute miteinander sind und natürlich: das Essen! Jochen isst Safran-Risotto mit Bergkäse in umgebauten Apotheken plus unzählige weitere feine Geschmacksexplosionen: Und er merkt: 40.000 Menschen, 10.000 davon Studierende - das macht etwas mit einem Ort. Alte Mauern gefüllt mit jungen Ideen - hätten wir sieben Leben, eines davon würden wir hier verbringen. Auch wegen des Unmlandes: Gleich um die Ecke, in La Gruyère, entsteht einer der berühmtesten Käse der Welt. Die Folge dazu wartet schon im Feed.—

Ein roter Topf auf offener Flamme, darin blubbert flüssiges Gold. Ein Stück Brot verschwindet darin und kommt zurück als der pure Geschmack von Milch, Handwerk und Zeit. Jochen war in Gruyères, dem kleinen Schweizer Dorf, das genauso heißt wie der weltberühmte Käse, der von hier kommt. Zum ersten Mal widmen wir eine ganze Folge einem einzigen Lebensmittel. Jochen steht in einer Alpkäserei aus dem Jahr 1686, in der François den Käse noch über offenem Holzfeuer im Kupferkessel macht. Er sieht zu, wie aus 700 Litern Milch 70 Kilo Käse werden Zweimal am Tag, von Hand. Er fährt mit der Seilbahn hoch auf den Moléson, 2002 Meter, und blickt vom Mont Blanc bis zum Genfersee. Er lässt sich von einer Kuhherde ausbremsen, die hier einfach Vorfahrt hat. Er steht mitten in diesem Bilderbuchdorf plötzlich vor dem Alien-Monster, im Museum von HR Giger. Und er taucht sein Brot noch einmal in diese unwiderstehliche Masse aus Gruyère und Vacherin Fribourgeois - bis wirklich nichts mehr geht. :)Damit schließt sich unsere kleine Schweiz Trilogie. Hört auch gern die Folgen zu Scuol/Unterengadin und Fribourg.—

Earlier this month, thousands of people descended on a small orchard in California's Central Valley to receive free nectarines. The crowds became so large that the California Highway Patrol temporarily shut the event down because of traffic and safety concerns. At first glance, it looked like a feel-good story—a farmer sharing his harvest with the community. But that wasn't the whole story. Third-generation farmer Cesar Mora says he gave away more than 100,000 pounds of nectarines because he couldn't sell them. The fruit wasn't spoiled. There wasn't a bumper crop that overwhelmed demand. The giveaway stemmed from a legal dispute over who controls the right to market and sell a specific variety of nectarine. This story raises questions about intellectual property, exclusive supply agreements, and market access. It also demonstrates that sometimes the biggest supply chain constraint isn't producing something, it's having permission to sell it. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers: - How proprietary fruit varieties became valuable intellectual property. - Why one California farmer says he had no choice but to give away his crop. - The legal dispute over contracts, exclusivity, and commercialization rights.   Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/  Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193  Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com  Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe   

Imagine seeing one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world almost empty, before realizing that it isn't empty at all. The ships are still there, but the data has disappeared. Analysts monitoring the Strait of Hormuz have watched vessels vanish only to reappear someplace else hours later. Others appear to be sailing across inland airports or drifting through the Iranian desert.  The Automatic Identification System (AIS) has quietly become part of the information infrastructure that global trade depends on.  So what happens when one of the world's most trusted sources of maritime information can no longer be accepted at face value? In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner breaks down why the tracking system the entire shipping industry runs on can no longer be trusted and who's actually exposed: - Why self-reporting makes AIS, the backbone of global ship tracking, scalable and vulnerable to manipulation  - The difference between the information provided by AIS and other systems like radar and GPS  - Why insurers, commodity traders, and sanctions regulators are all pricing risk off data that may be fictional   Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/  Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193  Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com  Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe   

Mouton Barèges-Gavarnie: The Finest Mutton in France | Food Tour de FranceMouton Barèges-Gavarnie — the extraordinary AOP mutton from the high mountain pastures above the Tour de France route today — is one of the most remarkable and most misunderstood meat products in France. Today's Food Tour de France episode finishes at Gavarnie-Gèdre at the foot of the Tourmalet, and tells the full story of the only mutton in France to hold an AOC designation — a distinction it earned in 2003 after eight years of applications, legal battles and the determination of a small group of Pyrenean farmers who refused to let their breed and their tradition disappear into the cheaper imported meat market. The Barégeoise sheep — hardy, fine-boned, a good walker — spends its summers grazing in total freedom on 25,000 hectares of wild alpine grassland between 1,600 and 2,600 metres. And the flavour of those high pastures — the wild thyme, the gentian, the dozens of aromatic mountain plants — ends up directly in the meat.The episode covers everything that makes Mouton Barèges-Gavarnie unlike any other mutton you have encountered — the specific Barégeoise breed that developed in isolation in the upper valley of the Gave de Pau, the precise breeding cycle that follows the mountain year from estive to valley and back again, and the two specific types of animal that produce the AOP meat. The jeune brebis — a young ewe between two and six years old — and the doublon, a castrated male that has spent at least two summers on the high pastures and is considered by those who know it best to be the finest expression of what this landscape can produce in a single piece of meat. Available from June through January and nowhere outside that window. Seasonal in the most absolute possible sense.The Food Tour de France is a daily series running alongside the 2026 Tour de France on Fabulously Delicious — one episode for every stage start and finish. The mouton Barèges-Gavarnie connects directly to the haricot tarbais episode from Lannemezan — the classic regional pairing of mountain lamb and Pyrenean beans is one of the finest in all of southwest French cooking — and to the broader picture of Pyrenean food culture this series has been building stage by stage. Search Fabulously Delicious on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for the full series.As Fabulously Delicious steps into its sixth year, one thing is clearer than ever: five years of French food culture has taught Andrew that the subject is genuinely inexhaustible.

Cross-border payments have long been a game of advantages. Large enterprises get fast settlement, cheap foreign exchange rates, and sophisticated treasury tools, while mid-market companies are left to piece together workarounds through regional banks and costly third-party providers.  Stablecoin infrastructure is changing that equation, offering businesses of all sizes access to the same financial rails that were once reserved for the Fortune 500. The result is faster payments, lower costs, and smarter capital management across global supply chains. Tanner Taddeo is the co-founder and CEO of Stable Sea, a fintech platform helping mid-market businesses move money across borders using stablecoin-based infrastructure. His background spans humanitarian finance, investment banking across Europe and South Asia, the Gates Foundation, and fintech roles at Plaid and Block, all with a consistent focus on expanding financial access for underserved businesses and communities. In this episode of Art of Supply, Tanner and Kelly Barner discuss: - What stablecoins are and why they behave nothing like the volatile cryptocurrencies most people are familiar with - Why mid-market companies have been left behind by the traditional banking system when it comes to global payments and treasury management  - The supplier relationship advantage of faster, cheaper cross-border settlement  - The next frontier in stablecoin adoption, which will turn payment liabilities into yield-generating assets  Links: Tanner Taddeo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanner-taddeo-9b64562a/  Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/  Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193  Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com  Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe

On Wednesday, June 10th, Amazon announced that they will now offer full LTL services to anyone.  Before that, LTL was available "inbound only," meaning from Amazon sellers to Amazon facilities to Amazon customers. In their press outreach, the company has touted their 80,000 trailers and 24,000 intermodal containers, as well as improved load visibility and fleet security measures. The response to this announcement was split. Traditional freight carriers like FedEx Freight, Old Dominion, and XPO lost market value, but some analysts have a different take. They are not so sure we should have the reaction we've been conditioned to have when Amazon moves into a new market. At least not yet. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers three big questions looming over this story: - Is Amazon LTL truly functioning as an asset-backed carrier, or are they more of a broker behind a front of assets? - What kinds of shippers will the Amazon LTL service appeal to? - Do Amazon's integrated abilities position them to completely upend how freight works? We can't promise you will get the answer to those questions in this episode, but listeners should walk away with a better understanding of why they matter.   Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/  Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193  Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com  Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe

"Demand planning is the thing which everybody seems to focus on, because it's kind of theoretical. You come up with a forecast and it doesn't really influence anything. It's when you look at the supply side, that's when it becomes real." Most supply chains are supported by investments in demand planning tools, sales and operations planning systems, and MRPs… so why is the supply plan being 'fixed' by a person with a spreadsheet and a hunch? Mark Robinson is the CEO of Orchestr8, an enterprise supply chain planning platform. He has spent more than two decades helping global organizations including Shell, BT, 3M, and Boots improve their supply chain planning performance.  He has always maintained a particular interest in the gap between supply planning theory and the realities of execution - one that AI may just be ready to help bridge. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner and Mark discuss why: -Bigger budgets don't buy better outcomes -Supply planning can't be waved away as a background task -A love of 'firefighting' may be half the problem with supply planning   Links: Mark Robinson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-robinson-3a470211/  Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/  Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193  Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com  Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe

Can a mega merger of peers increase competition in their market? Case in point: the proposed rail merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. Both are Class I railroads, among the largest by revenue in North America as defined by the Surface Transportation Board. According to a 2001 Surface Transportation Board rule, their merger must enhance competition - but that's not usually how mergers are designed to work, especially among giants. And this is the first rail merger that has to meet that requirement. After some back-and-forth, the Surface Transportation Board "conditionally" accepted the merger application on May 28th, but they are still looking for more information. No review activities will be conducted until that information is provided. In other words: the Surface Transportation Board has accepted the Union Pacific - Norfolk Southern filing, but they have not accepted the information provided in that filing. We'll have to wait to find out if the application is approved based on its merits. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers the proposed merger from multiple angles: - The expectations for increased rail competition and public benefit - How the railways propose to give their non-transcontinental competitors a fighting chance - Whether the Surface Transportation Board and a coalition of opponents think competition is likely Links: One Railroad to Rule Them All?

French Cheese: The Full Story is the most comprehensive episode Fabulously Delicious has ever made on French cheese — covering everything from the monastic origins of French cheesemaking to the raw milk collapse that has seen France lose ninety percent of its artisan cheese culture in a single lifetime. French cheese history, French cheese culture, practical French cheese guidance and a passionate argument for why one of the greatest food traditions in the world deserves your full attention.The episode begins with a statistic that stops most people in their tracks. Seventy years ago one hundred percent of French cheese was made from raw milk. Today that figure is ten percent. We go back to the beginning — the monastery cellars of the Benedictines and the Cistercians, the extraordinary story of Roquefort as the oldest legally protected food in the world, the history of Camembert and Brie, and the AOC and AOP system that protects French cheese today. The heart of the episode is a guide to the five families of French cheese — the framework that makes French cheese make sense. Fresh, bloomy rind, washed rind, pressed uncooked, pressed cooked and blue — each one explained through its most celebrated examples, from Époisses and Munster to Comté, Reblochon and Ossau-Iraty.The second half takes you on a regional tour of France through its greatest cheeses, goes inside the French fromagerie to explain exactly how to navigate one, covers how the French actually eat cheese and why they are right about almost all of it, and closes with the future of French cheese — the threats, the revival and why every choice you make at the cheese counter genuinely matters.If you have listened to the Fabulously Delicious episodes on Brie de Meaux, Abondance or Époisses, this episode is the full picture those episodes were drawn from.

On Monday, June 1st, FedEx Freight CEO John Smith rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the fact that the company is now operating (and trading) independently. This story dates back to the summer of 2024, when the idea of separating out FedEx's LTL operating unit was just a very believable rumor. Now they are the largest LTL provider in North America, and what one outlet described as a $9 Billion startup, with 40,000 employees. And yet, for all of the company-led fanfare, the media coverage was… uninspired? With one notable exception that is…  In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers what we know about FedEx Freight's immediate plans for their corporate freedom: - What they plan to focus on as a company, both from a growth standpoint and operationally - Where the company stands on the question of emissions reduction, regulatory changes, and driverless fleets - How soon we might have some idea of how successful they will be   Links: Will FedEx Freight hit the open road?

Endless Shrimp is BACK at Red Lobster… a headline few people in the business world would have predicted.  The promotion played an over-hyped role in the company's 2024 bankruptcy filing, mostly because it was easier to explain than a bad real estate leaseback deal led by investors at the time – the actual cause of Red Lobster's financial trouble. Their new CEO, Damola Adamolekun, is best known for leading the turnaround at P.F. Chang's and was handpicked by Fortress Investment Group, the investors that bought Red Lobster out of bankruptcy. In November 2024, Adamolekun told Today he had ended the Endless Shrimp promotion "Because I know how to do math." And yet… six weeks before the end of the company's fiscal year… it looks like their best hope. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks back at Red Lobster: - How much progress the company has made since their bankruptcy - The cost pressures, both internal and external, they are struggling to overcome - And the impact a media-savvy CEO has been able to have on restaurant traffic   Links: Ultimate Endless Real Estate Costs at Red Lobster https://artofprocurement.com/blog/supply-ultimate-endless-real-estate-costs-at-red-lobster Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/  Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193  Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com  Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe   

China's new supply chain regulations may be one of the biggest global trade and sourcing stories that almost nobody is talking about. Decree 834 and 835 quietly took effect - immediately - on April 7th and 13th. If China decides to enforce them, they could fundamentally change how multinational companies approach sourcing, reshoring, compliance, and supplier diversification. In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner breaks down China's newly enacted Decrees 834 and 835 — regulations designed to protect Chinese industrial and supply chain security, while potentially penalizing companies that attempt to diversify away from China. Listen to discover: - What China's Decrees 834 and 835 mean for Western (and China-owned) businesses - Why reshoring and China +1 strategies may now carry new risks - How companies could become trapped between conflicting U.S., EU, and Chinese regulations - Why ordinary supplier due diligence and compliance audits may now face additional scrutiny - The growing concern over "extraterritorial" enforcement and China's expanding economic leverage - Potential penalties ranging from market restrictions to sanctions on individuals Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/ Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193 Art of Supply on AOP: https://artofsupply.com Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe

Marketing exists to generate pipeline and create bookings, full stop. In this episode of Content Amplified, Mike Madden, VP of Marketing at Boomi, makes the case that the marketers who win are the ones who understand every part of the revenue engine, not just the part they own. Mike draws on his years running demand gen at Marketo and then across the Americas at Adobe to explain why "pretty" content is the fastest way to lose your headcount, and why a five-out-of-eight lead score on a paid search infographic can matter more than another glossy asset. He shares the race car analogy he uses with his team, the embarrassing moment in front of Adobe's global head of sales that taught him to actually understand the AOP, and his take on AI: it will not replace your brain, and it cannot learn your business for you. He also has pointed advice for marketers early in their careers about why hard skills like Excel, Salesforce, and marketing automation still matter more than prompt fluency. Tune in for a grounded, no-fluff conversation about what data-driven marketing actually looks like.About MikeMike Madden is the VP of Marketing at Boomi, where he runs global demand gen, global digital marketing, the website, and marketing operations. He started his career in financial services marketing before joining Marketo in 2015, where he ran demand gen for North America through the Adobe acquisition and went on to lead demand gen across the Americas at Adobe for several products, including Marketo. Mike believes marketing's job is to help sales score, and that the marketers who win are the ones who study their business until they know how every system, definition, and process fits together.Show Notes- Connect with Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmadden824/Text us what you think about this episode!

Dans cet épisode de La Clé des Champs, je vous emmène en Savoie, à La Clusaz, à la rencontre de Micke, éleveur et producteur de reblochon fermier.Tourné en décembre, cet épisode nous plonge entre montagne, alpage et fromagerie, où Micke partage un quotidien rythmé par la traite, la fabrication du fromage… et ses cours de ski de fond l'hiver. Un équilibre unique entre deux métiers passion, où chaque journée commence tôt et se termine tard.À travers son témoignage, on découvre les coulisses d'une exploitation laitière de montagne, avec ses spécificités : des vaches adaptées aux terrains difficiles, une fabrication en lait cru exigeante, et une production en AOP au plus proche du produit.Dans cet échange sincère et sans détour, on parle :du parcours qui l'a mené à devenir éleveur,de la fabrication du reblochon fermier, de la traite à l'affinage,de la double activité agriculture / ski,des réalités économiques et de la diversification,de la cohabitation avec le tourisme en montagne,des défis sanitaires et climatiques,et de l'attachement fort aux animaux et au territoire.Un épisode authentique et passionné, qui met en lumière un métier exigeant, mais profondément humain, porté par l'amour du produit et de la montagne.

Miguel Chávez retoma el podcast tras una temporada de viajes a trade shows y clases, agradece la retroalimentación y explica que el contenido es técnico y debe adaptarse a cada mercado. Presenta el tema “cómo dejar de ser un piscinero helicóptero”, inspirado en el concepto de helicopter parenting, para describir hábitos de sobreintervención en el mantenimiento que resultan estresantes, contraproducentes y poco rentables. Señala como primer hábito la sobrecorrección del pH y el uso excesivo de ácido muriático, insistiendo en que el pH fluctúa y suele seguir a la alcalinidad; también enfatiza el equilibrio del agua como una balanza (índice de saturación de Langelier) y que en invierno un pH más alto puede ser aceptable. Menciona otros hábitos: mantener la piscina cubierta todo el tiempo, instalar sistemas conflictivos (sal/AOP/ozono), sobredosificar cloro sin entender objetivos y efectos (líquido, tabletas, cal-hypo), y depender de metales/algicidas que pueden causar manchas y ciclos de fosfatos. Anuncia un próximo episodio para profundizar en pH, alcalinidad y balance hídrico. Conectate con nosotros!

"The goal isn't to create a room where people consume content, it's to create a room where they come ready to work on their organization." - Philip Ideson, Founder and Managing Director, Art of Procurement The pace of business change has made traditional procurement conferences feel outdated.

This week, AOP Founder and Managing Director Philip Ideson and Jim Cahalan, Art of Procurement's new Director of Events, discuss what makes AOP Catalyst events different from other professional gatherings.  Jim explains how thoughtful event design, unique venues, and practitioner-led discussions are the keys to outcomes that matter at the CPO level. From building trust among decision-makers to focusing sessions on what you'll do first thing Monday, this episode will help you see event participation as a true 'catalyst' for change.

Jacob is joined by Alex Moneypenny of Different Knock — one of the sharpest analytical minds in Arsenal content — for a deep, nervy, genuinely fascinating pre-Southampton session.

Abondance cheese — one of the great forgotten Alpine cheeses of France — has a story that stretches back to the medieval monasteries of Haute-Savoie and all the way to the papal conclave in Avignon in the fourteenth century, where it was served to cardinals from across Europe. In this episode of Fabulously Delicious, we're telling the full story of Abondance cheese — the semi-hard, raw cow's milk Alpine cheese from the Abondance Valley in Haute-Savoie that most people have never heard of, and that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Comté and Beaufort.The story of Abondance cheese begins with the Cistercian monks of the Abbaye d'Abondance in the French Alps, who began making this extraordinary Alpine cheese in the Middle Ages as a way of preserving milk through long mountain winters. The cheese they developed was so remarkable that by the fourteenth century it was travelling far beyond the valley — all the way to the papal conclave in Avignon, where it was served to the highest ranks of medieval European society. A tiny Alpine valley sending its cheese to the cardinals of Europe. Which tells you everything about the quality of what the monks had created.The Abondance Valley in Haute-Savoie is one of the most beautiful corners of the French Alps — dramatic peaks, wooden chalets, flower-rich mountain pastures near the Swiss border. And at the heart of it all is the Abondance cow — the chestnut and white breed perfectly adapted to mountain life, producing milk rich in protein and fat that gives Abondance cheese its distinctive fruity, nutty, buttery character. The cheese received its AOC status in 1990 and its AOP in the years that followed, protecting everything from the milk to the shape of the wheel — and ensuring that one of France's great Alpine cheeses remains exactly what it has always been.Abondance cheese melts beautifully — perfect in fondue, gratins and Alpine dishes — and is at its absolute best between June and December when the cows have been grazing high in the mountains and the milk is at its most aromatic. It's the kind of cheese that makes you wonder why it isn't as famous as its Alpine neighbours. After this episode, you'll understand exactly why it deserves your attention.Send us Fan MailSupport the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

"With tariffs in the news again and the trade policy environment shifting, folks are back to wanting to relearn about the [foreign-trade zone] program."  Foreign-trade zones (FTZs) allow companies to bring goods into secure U.S. locations without immediately entering U.S. commerce for customs purposes. They allow businesses to defer duties, taxes, and fees until goods officially enter the market, or avoid them altogether if those goods are ultimately exported.  FTZs are often used by manufacturers to store inventory or assemble kits, but given the current level of trade uncertainty, they have also become a way to address the unpredictability of tariffs. Melissa Irmen is the Director of Advocacy and Strategic Relations for the National Association of Foreign-trade Zones (NAFTZ), and she joins this episode to share practical advice about what FTZs are, how they work, and why they are drawing renewed attention in today's tariff-heavy trade environment. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Melissa and Kelly Barner discuss: Which companies tend to benefit most from FTZ participation, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, electronics companies, pharmaceutical firms, and industrial businesses  How FTZs offer flexibility during periods of trade disruption, helping importers pause, store, stage, or re-strategize inventory while tariffs and policy conditions shift How the FTZ program has evolved, including a streamlined application process, ongoing regulatory modernization efforts, and current advocacy priorities related to Congress, Customs and Border Protection, and USMCA This episode makes a compelling case for taking a first (or another) look at foreign-trade zones.

Mike and Trey Farley interview Mitch Martinez, design manager at Diamond Spas, a 30-year-old company fabricating custom stainless steel and copper vessels including spas, cold plunges, plunge pools, pools, swim spas, and water features for luxury residential and commercial wellness projects. Martinez explains benefits over fiberglass/gunite such as 316L shells, 304 supports, 25-year warranty, contemporary straight-line designs, lighter weight for rooftops, energy efficiency from closed-cell spray foam insulation, and two-stage containment via a vault with access for maintenance and leak monitoring. He compares stainless vs copper mainly by aesthetics and copper's antimicrobial properties, notes salt/chlorine/bromine void warranties, and recommends UV with hydrogen peroxide or AOP systems. The episode covers customization (jet layouts, loungers, acrylic windows, infinity edges, covers, movable floors), installation logistics, bonding, lighting, climate-related heating/chilling, and common issues like improper sanitizers or rigging.   Discover more: https://www.diamondspas.com/ (720) 864-9115 https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/poolzila/   00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:12 Meet Mitch Martinez 01:50 What Diamond Spas Makes 02:58 Mitch Career Path 04:40 Who Buys These 05:15 Metal vs Fiberglass 06:27 Stainless vs Copper 08:39 Tile and Finishes 09:59 Heating and Insulation 11:21 Climate and Chillers 12:28 Equipment Options 13:43 Rooftop Weight Benefits 14:12 Leak Protection Strategy 16:18 Welding and Quality 17:24 Expansion and Movement 18:36 Custom Features and Ergonomics 21:19 Edges Windows Covers Floors 22:55 Sanitizers and Chemicals 24:52 Wellness Center Boom 26:46 Coastal Salt Considerations 29:45 Delivery and Installation 32:01 Wild Install Stories 33:51 Recycled Metals and Repairs 35:40 Shipping Size Limits 37:39 Structural Support Planning 38:28 How to Start a Project 40:18 Pre-Patina Copper Finish 40:55 Cost vs Gunite Pools 42:47 Infinity Edges and Acrylic 44:07 Water Color and Reflection 45:35 Surface Feel and Slip 46:52 Bonding and Electrical Safety 47:28 LED Lighting Options 48:20 Covers and Debris Control 51:12 Install Risks and Scope 54:54 Warranty and Jobsite Protection 58:50 Vault Access and Drainage 01:04:53 Rapid Fire Personal Q&A 01:08:42 Cold Plunges and Chillers 01:15:20 Wrap-Up and Show Mission

"Sometimes you just need to recognize that getting from the baseline, whatever your baseline, to the next step… that's really significant." - Jyothi Hartley, Director of Digital Enablement, AOP Art of Procurement is proud to launch a brand-new podcast series: the ProcureTech Insider. The procurement technology market is evolving faster than ever, promising exponential transformation. But what actually works in the real world? ProcureTech Insider exists to take procurement leaders and decision makers beyond the hype. In this new series, we will bring you real-world intelligence from practitioners implementing technology, solution providers building next-generation capabilities, and experts and leaders evaluating what delivers impact in practice. In this first episode, Art of Procurement Founder and Managing Director Philip Ideson welcomes Jyothi Harley, AOP's Director of Digital Enablement, to discuss the vision behind the show and to explore what digital transformation can look like inside visionary procurement teams. With more than 25 years of experience across practitioner, transformation, and advisory roles, Jyothi shares why there is no one-size-fits-all blueprint for procurement technology success. Instead of chasing "big bang" transformation, she explains why incremental progress grounded in culture, timing, and organizational readiness often delivers the most sustainable impact. If you're navigating AI buzz, (re)evaluating your tech stack, or feeling pressure to transform faster than your team may be able to absorb, this conversation – and all of those that will follow it – will help you identify your best next step. In this episode, you'll learn: Why there's no universal playbook for digital procurement transformation How to assess your true starting point before investing in new technology Why incremental progress can be more powerful than sweeping change The role culture, adoption, and timing play in successful implementation How AOP's digital enablement practice bridges strategy and execution This episode also marks Art of Procurement's expanded coverage of the rapidly changing procuretech landscape through regular podcast episodes and the ProcureTech100.

A black stain appears the moment cal hypo hits the floor—panic sets in. We unpack why that stain isn't a new disaster but copper changing form, and how to turn a scary moment into a clean, controlled fix. With guidance from Bob Lowry, we break down the chemistry that matters, the tools that actually remove metals, and the habits that keep stains from returning.We start with the copper story: how copper sulfate hides in plain sight until oxidation turns it into black copper oxide, and why ascorbic acid can lift the look without solving the load. Then we get practical. We compare sequestrants and chelants, explain why they degrade under chlorine, UV, ozone, and AOP, and outline two reliable removal paths: CuLator capture over days or a pre-filter loop that strips metals in hours. We also cover partial drain and refill strategies and the simplest operational safeguard—dissolving and distributing cal hypo instead of letting granules settle on the floor.From there, we shift to living threats. Algae divisions add up fast, and by the time you can see it, a biofilm likely shields it from chlorine. We share a straightforward plan: brush to break the polysaccharide layer, raise sanitizer deliberately, and avoid the costly mistake of “waiting a week.” Finally, we tackle the health side that too many ignore: zero chlorine means no barrier against bather-to-bather disease transmission. People bring millions of bacteria into the water; residual sanitizer is the only real-time shield. If you do end up in water with no sanitizer, take a warm shower right away to reopen pores and rinse contaminants before they cause trouble.• honoring Bob Lowry's contributions to pool chemistry• why cal hypo can turn hidden copper blue-green to black copper oxide• pros and cons of ascorbic acid on stains• how sequestrants work and why they degrade• practical metal removal with CuLator and pre-filters• safer cal hypo application and dosing tips• algae growth math and biofilm protection• brushing strategy to break polysaccharides• risks of zero cSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Trois fois par jour, nous faisons des choix actifs, parfois même activistes. Sans toujours nous en rendre compte, nous soutenons un type d'agriculture, la souveraineté alimentaire française, le niveau de vie de nos producteurs et notre santé d'aujourd'hui et de demain… en choisissant ce que nous mettons dans nos assiettes !Sacrée responsabilité qui tombe d'un coup sur nos frêles épaules…Pourtant, si nos intentions sont claires, ce n'est pas toujours facile d'être cohérent au quotidien. Plein de choses entre en jeu : le prix d'abord bien sûr, la praticité pour faire nos courses, nos goûts évidemment…  Et aussi, en rayon, notre capacité à comprendre la qualité des produits que nous achetons.Et c'est là où le bât blesse, car en rayon, les labels et les scores ont fleuri. Chaque grande surface a développé les siens, nous avons vu venir Nutri-Score, Planet-Score, Eco-Score, Haute Valeur Environnementale, Bio, AOP, AOC, IGP, Label Rouge… et j'en passe… et en quelques années, on est passé de pas d'info à trop d'info…Alors aujourd'hui, je vous invite à une discussion avec Sabine Bonnot, la cofondatrice et présidente de Planet-score, l'étiquetage environnemental indépendant devenu leader en Europe.Vous voulez quelques chiffres sur Planet-score ? En quelques années seulement, Planet-score s'est déployé dans 12 pays, a embarqué 330 marques,et se retrouve sur 135 000 produits et 330 000 000 d'emballages en rayon… et sur l'appli mobile d'UFC Que choisir, la plus grande asso de consommateurs en France.Au-delà des chiffres, ce qui m'a intéressé dans Planet-score, c'est qu'il s'agit d'un organisme complétement indépendant (indispensable dans cette industrie !), dont la marque est détenu par un fonds de dotation (qui garantit le cap de Planet-score dans la durée), qui a défini ses mécanismes avec des scientifiques reconnus et des experts de terrain (indipensable pour juger de la pertinence des évaluations).Aujourd'hui, c'est un outil dont se saisissent les marques pour améliorer leur recette en faisant de l'éco-conception. Dans cet échange, Sabine raconteson parcours atypique de l'industrie agro-alimentaire à la reprise d'une exploitation agricole en passant par le développement de Planet-score,les enjeux du monde agricole, sans dogmatisme, avec nuance et subtilité. Elle nous explique les disfonctionnements actuels et décrypte notamment comment les modes de calcul officiels de l'impact d'un produit ont été complétement faussés par le travail de lobbying exercé à Bruxelles par les grands groupes agro-alimentaires. Ces calculs conduisent à des aberrations -faisant notamment apparaître les filières les plus intensives comme les plus vertueuses …no comment.comment on peut aider les consommateurs à y voir clair et embarquer les marques dans des démarches de progrès ! Il y a de la lumière au bout du tunnel !Un épisode très éducatif et qui, dans cette période de reculs législatifs majeurs, m'a finalement laissée optimiste sur les changements possibles quand on travaille en coalition entre scientifiques, entreprises et monde agricole... sous la saine pression des consommateurs !

"Direct materials is the most under-innovated, untouched by modern technology of any spend area." - Spencer Penn, Co-Founder and CEO, LightSource Direct spend makes up the lion's share of the procurement budget, but all too often, it's still managed in spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Today's volatile supply market and relentless cost pressures demand more.  What is holding companies back from real transformation in direct procurement, and where do the smartest teams focus their innovation efforts? In this AOP podcast episode, host Philip Ideson speaks with Spencer Penn, co-founder and CEO of LightSource. Drawing from his hands-on experience at Tesla and Waymo, Spencer explains why direct procurement's digital journey has lagged behind indirect, and what it takes to move from manual, reactive "firefighting" to scalable, collaborative value creation.  If you're wondering how to unite engineering, procurement, and finance to drive structural cost reduction, or how to leverage tech for more than basic automation, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, Spencer talks about how to: Make sense of why most direct procurement processes are still manual Learn how collaboration between procurement, engineering, and suppliers drives lasting savings See where legacy thinking and incentives stall change (and how to overcome it) Discover what tech can enable and when people are essential Find out why small sourcing decisions at scale become huge bottom-line wins Links: Spencer Penn on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube
