Thermally broken lintels minimise heat transfer through the building envelope to meet Part L of the Building Regulations. Catnic's thermally broken lintels use two folded steel sections bonded to a high-strength, thermally efficient core, achieving psi values no greater than 0.05 W/mK without additional brackets or cold bridges. Traditional steel lintels create significant thermal bridges by crossing the insulated cavity. Separating the inner and outer steel sections breaks this thermal convection and reduces heat flow by over 90%, depending on the design. Catnic thermally broken lintels are available to suit 90-205mm cavities, in standard, heavy or extra heavy duty load capacities. ________________________ Summary ❄️ Thermally broken lintels slash heat loss by eliminating cold bridging.

Along with her work at the homeschool co-op she co-founded in East Texas, which promotes collaboration among families, Raven also offers private online tutoring. This allows her to connect with more students and provide individualized support.One of the most rewarding aspects of homeschooling for Raven is the freedom it gives her to be more creative in her teaching. She enjoys breaking away from the strict rules often found in traditional schools, enabling her to try different teaching methods that truly engage her students. Throughout the episode, listeners will gain insights into Raven's "big" teaching style, which keeps students interested and helps them learn effectively.

This flexibility allows families to adapt their educational approaches to better fit their children's individual needs.Join us for this informative discussion that explores important educational topics, emphasizes the value of community support, and celebrates the creativity that inspires a love for learning!Who is Raven Marshall?From Raven: "I'm Raven Marshall, a reading specialist and homeschool teacher living in beautiful East Texas on a farm with chickens, wide-open pastureland, and our cat, Naomi Michelle. I've been married for 20 years and have two amazing boys, ages 15 and 12. After earning my BBA in Business Management from SFA, I went back to school and became a certified Reading Specialist with a master's in education. I spent 16 years in both public and private school classrooms and now homeschool full-time. I co-founded a thriving homeschool co-op that's going strong after four years, and I currently offer online tutoring. Recently, God placed it on my heart to open an in-person tutoring service with three incredible women—and we're excited to make a real impact in our community. In my spare time, I love reading, staying active, and spending time outdoors."You can find Raven:On the web: https://reading-roots-tutoring-gbdey7k.gamma.site/On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576677821273On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reading_roots_tutoring/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingrootstutoringserviceOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raven-marshall-b8046b9b/Deal for you: "We're offering a lower hourly rate with the 9-week Report Card package. $30 an hour 1x for 9 weeks and $35 an hour 1x for 6 weeks.

Is comms becoming a bit too corporate? We still spot trouble before it hits. We still know what plays in the media, what won't land with the public, and how to read the room better than anyone else on the ExCo. But when it comes to doing something bold and out there? When it comes to cutting through, not just smoothing over? Are we going a bit soft? Swapping instinct for process. Gut feel for governance. Provocation for pre-reads. Maybe — just maybe — all the time spent hanging around with our colleagues in Risk and Legal, we're starting to become a little too risk-averse ourselves. So, are comms professionals becoming internal diplomats first and foremost — helpful, trusted, and entirely forgettable? Are we trying too hard to get along, not stand out? Corporate affairs needs edge. Courage. Creativity. Spark. This episode is hosted by Apella Advisors partners Andrew Brown and Matt Young.

Kendall Berg sits down with Kelly Poquiz Burke, a former Doritos brand manager who walked away from Super Bowl campaigns, corporate titles, and nonstop promotions to build a life that actually aligned with her values. Kelly's story begins at the peak of success—meeting celebrities, managing billion-dollar brands, and collecting promotions—but underneath, she was burning out while holding it all together as a new mom and cancer survivor. In this conversation, Kelly explains why passion isn't enough for lasting fulfillment, how over-identifying with your career keeps you stuck, and why she believes Life-Work Alignment is a more sustainable framework than the outdated idea of balance. She shares the moment her three-year-old daughter asked her not to leave again, the Apple Watch notification that confirmed her stress levels, and the four pillars that now guide her work and life. If you've ever wondered whether your career is defining too much of who you are, this episode will shift your perspective. In this episode, we discuss: How do you know when it's time to walk away from a dream job? Why is purpose more sustainable than passion in your career? What are the early signs of burnout most people ignore?

Scams aren't what they used to be. These days, AI can write perfect emails, mimic voices, and even fake a video call so well you'd swear you were talking to the real person. The problem is, the timing of a scam can be just right when you're distracted, busy, or looking for exactly what they're offering. That's when even the most careful person can get caught. My guest, Ritesh Kotak, knows this world inside and out. He's a cybersecurity analyst, an Ontario lawyer, and a tech innovator who's worked with Fortune 500 companies and served in policing, where he helped start one of Canada's first municipal cybercrime units. He's got a BBA, MBA, and JD, all focused on privacy, cybercrime, and the way emerging tech impacts everyday life. In our conversation, Ritesh explains how criminals are using AI as a weapon, how it can also be a shield, and why simple, low-tech steps, like having a secret phrase with family or confirming a request through a different channel, are still some of the best defenses. He even shares a close call he had himself, which is a good reminder that nobody's immune when scams are this convincing. Show Notes: [00:50] Ritesh shares his background as a lawyer helping clients navigate AI, tech, and cybercrime. [01:18] His fascination with technology began at age three after taking apart his father's computer. [03:59] In policing, Ritesh saw early signs of cybercrime blending with physical crime. [06:55] He demonstrates cybersecurity risks by live hacking a police chief, leading to the creation of a cybercrime unit. [09:16] A near-miss phishing scam involving discounted amusement park tickets highlights how timing plays a role. [15:14] Spoofed calls and evolving scam tactics make detection harder despite telecom safeguards. [17:09] Ritesh explains AI as both a sword for criminals and a shield for protection. [20:00] Generative AI enables flawless phishing emails, fake websites, and realistic deepfake audio and video. [28:00] Simple defenses like secret phrases and multi-channel verification can stop many scams. [31:45] Reporting scams to police can help investigations and sometimes recover funds. [33:17] Ritesh advocates for centralized fraud response centers to improve victim support. [36:45] Calling a lawyer can help victims navigate legal and civil remedies.

“Prepping for the GMAT was one of the biggest, most self-motivated projects of my adult life. It gave me concrete feedback I hadn't experienced in years. Improvement wasn't visible every day, but I could see how my effort turned into results.” In this episode of Inside the GMAT, GMAC Zach sits down with Julia Shackelford, who earned a perfect GMAT score of 805, but insists the real story is everything behind the number. Julia shares how months of disciplined practice, self-reflection, and resilience transformed not only her test performance but also her confidence in tackling challenges far beyond the GMAT. Together, Zach and Julia explore what it really takes to succeed on the GMAT, why natural ability matters less than consistent effort, and how shifting your focus from outcomes to process can change the way you see yourself. About Our Guest: Julia earned a BBA in Finance from the University of Arkansas in 2015 and spent the following nine years in banking, where she focused on lending, business development, training, and compliance. She now specializes in helping students excel on exams like the GMAT. She hopes to use what she learned through preparing for her own exam to improve the experience of other students.  Explore GMAT Prep: https://www.mba.com/gmat-exam-prep Register for the GMAT: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/register Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GMATbyGMAC Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to the Journey 01:44 The Process Behind the Perfect Score 03:22 Mindset and Self-Discovery 05:48 Overcoming Challenges and Setbacks 07:55 The Importance of Self-Compassion 10:18 Redefining Success 12:21 Learning and Growth Through Preparation 15:00 Balancing Study and Life 17:25 Tools and Techniques for Effective Studying 19:54 Reflection and Course Correction 22:25 Advice for Future Test Takers 24:33 Final Thoughts on Success and Happiness

The “Big Beautiful Act” promises to have a large impact across the board on the lives of American citizens. However, will this new tax legislation encourage high net worth individuals to move to the US?   For years, the biggest deterrent for HNW Individuals coming to the United States has been the nation's Tax Laws. Have the changes made in the Act made America a more attractive place to do business and invest in? Especially with the new looming threat of Tariffs. What has made America an attractive place for business in the past? What will it look like in the future–post-BBA, with Trump at the helm?

Rational thinking might drive economics, but emotional behavior drives decisions. And no one understands that better than Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational, a book that's reshaped our assumptions about how people make decisions.In this episode, we're unpacking key lessons from Dan Ariely's work with the help of our special guest, Leslie Alore, SVP of Marketing at Flexera.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from setting the right expectations, why fewer choices close more deals, and how the power of “free” and fear of loss can drive serious retention.About our guest, Leslie AloreAs the SVP of Marketing, Leslie Alore leads Flexera's marketing strategy with an aim to create great experiences and outcomes for our customers.Her passion for people and technology—combined with more than 15 years of marketing leadership in the tech space—has established her as a successful, results-driven executive who enables teams to do their best work.Prior to joining Flexera, Leslie served as the Global SVP of Lifecycle Marketing at Ivanti. Before that, she held various marketing, operations and GTM strategy roles at Iron Mountain. Leslie is an active speaker and mentor in the GTM community, and has been recognized among “Top Women in Marketing” by Ragan Communications and “Women of the Channel” by CRN.Leslie holds a BBA in Management, and an MBA with a concentration in Strategic Leadership from Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Predictably Irrational:Set expectations to shape reality. Great marketing doesn't just reflect value, it creates the conditions for it. Leslie highlights how expectations shape reality. When buyers believe something is good, they interpret every detail through that lens. This isn't about manipulation, it's about clarity and consistency. Leslie says, “The effect of expectations… believing beforehand something is good, therefore it will be or the reverse.” So stop hoping your audience connects the dots. Tell them what to expect, then deliver on it. Perception isn't a bonus, it's the foundation.Shrink your options to speed the decision. Too many options stall progress. The paradox of choice tells us more isn't better, it's paralyzing. Leslie urges marketers to curate the path forward: “You actually want to give people fewer options and take control of the options that they see.” Don't just join the shortlist, define it. When you narrow the frame, you speed up the decision for your customers. Turn “free” into staying power with loss aversion. There's magic in “free,” but the real power lies in what people fear losing. Once someone uses your product, whether it's a freemium tool or an ungated resource, they've invested. Now there's skin in the game. Leslie puts it simply, “People will overvalue something that's free and ignore kind of the trade-off costs associated. And loss is psychologically painful. We don't want to lose that, which we already have.” Whether you offer software, content, or services, create early wins. Then make the cost of leaving feel higher than the cost of staying.Quotes*“ There's many organizations that lean into that power of positivity…What's very interesting is that consumer brands do this a lot very, very well. B2B organizations tend to do almost the opposite. They tend to lean more into FUD. And that's a harder road to tread.”*“ If you're an organization that is selling software, the software is designed to provide a business outcome. It's designed to solve a business problem. Instead of focusing on, here's the business problem. Doesn't that suck for you? You can say, ‘here's the solution.*“You have the power, you can feel confident about your ability to achieve X, Y, Z because you've solved this problem.' It's saying the same thing, but orienting it in a positive way and being very, very, very consistent in that message. Beat that drum over and over and over again.”*“ Narrow down the competitive options for them. Your sales process will move faster. You will be able to take better control of the narrative if you say, ‘this is us and these are the two other vendors that look like us. And here's why we are different and better, and here's what you can expect from these guys.' And that doesn't mean saying negative things about them.  It's just highlighting your strengths and your virtues.”*“People are willing to accept trade-offs for something that is perceived to be free…This is the exact reason that PLG, product-led growth, is so powerful. Because if you can get people in the door with some sort of freemium offering, people will actually work harder to do the legwork to get a free product to work and interact with it, than they might be willing to put in for something that they have to go pay for. And then once they have it and they've put in the work, they don't wanna lose it.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Leslie Alore, SVP of Marketing at Flexera[00:56] Why Predictably Irrational?[02:20] The Role of SVP of Marketing at Flexera[02:47] Understanding Predictably Irrational[09:56] B2B Marketing Lessons from Predictably Irrational[37:49] Cognitive Dissonance in Buying Behavior[42:17] Emotional Marketing in B2B[46:18] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Leslie on LinkedInLearn more about FlexeraAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Tom Bodrovics once again engages in an interesting conversation with Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for QI Research, former Fed Insider, and author of the book "Fed Up." The conversation focuses on the ongoing recession that likely began in Q1 2024. Danielle highlights key data points, such as job losses starting in Q2 2024, which confirm the recession's onset. Despite this clarity, official channels are reluctant to acknowledge the recession due to political considerations. Danielle emphasizes the severe impact of student loan forbearance and credit constraints on US households, noting that rising defaults will further strain consumer spending. This situation is compounded by a lack of clear policies to replace past stimulus measures, leaving the economy vulnerable. Danielle shifts into the commercial real estate sector, with banks facing growing pressure to recognize losses. She critiques the Federal Reserve for ignoring critical data, such as shelter inflation and job losses, in favor of focusing on tariffs' impact on goods prices. This stance, she argues, is politically motivated and disregards the Fed's own historical lessons. Investors are advised to prioritize safety over riskier assets, given the high returns on cash and the uncertain economic outlook. Danielle concludes by urging empathy and support for communities navigating these challenging times, emphasizing the importance of looking out for one another during economic hardship.

Talk to any senior partner in a law firm, and you're likely to get a complaint or snide comment about the younger generation of lawyers being lazier, more entitled, and less interested in making partner or assuming leadership roles than their predecessors. On the flip side, some younger lawyers will be all too happy to tell you that senior lawyers are overly demanding, can't respect boundaries, won't share origination credit, and refuse to cede any responsibility or authority to those coming up behind them. Generational differences are real. They are significant. And they are impacting both how law firms operate today and how they will be governed in the future.  Chris DeSantis is a speaker, author, and consultant specializing in workplace interventions.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ON NAVIGATING GENERATIONAL FRICTION AT WORK Many law firm leaders are grappling with generational tensions that quietly undermine collaboration, leadership development, and retention. But these conflicts aren't simply about age, they're rooted in deeper divides over authority, feedback, and what lawyers expect from the workplace. Chris DeSantis, speaker, consultant, and author of Why I Find You Irritating: Navigating Generational Friction at Work, has spent his career helping organizations navigate workplace dynamics, and now helps law firm leaders understand how generational habits and mindsets can create hidden friction. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge, Chris joins Elise Holtzman to unpack how law firm hierarchies clash with younger lawyers' expectations of dialogue and inclusion. He shares why traditional “figure it out” leadership no longer works, and how shifting to a culture of open conversation can reduce friction, boost engagement, and strengthen leadership pipelines. 2:43 – Why law firm leaders can't ignore generational friction. Chris shares the challenges that inspired him to write his book. 4:55 – How generalizations shape perceptions and create blind spots in the workplace. 7:43 – The four generations in today's workforce and how their life experiences influence expectations at work. 11:02 – How different parenting models have shaped generational behaviors and workplace dynamics. 14:06 – Why younger attorneys struggle in tell-do workplaces, and how leaders can shift to an engage-discuss model. 19:02 – The hidden reasons adjacent generations experience the most friction, and how leaders can help defuse the tension. 26:01 – How gender, hierarchy, and generational differences collide in law firm environments. 33:10 – What leaders can do to foster dialogue over directives. Chris explains why this approach drives better performance and retention.

In this episode… Scaling a business feels like navigating chaos — especially when taking over a company in its awkward adolescent phase, where systems are fragile, leadership is thin, and growth potential remains untapped. Many entrepreneurs struggle with transitioning ownership, aligning staff, and building toward a sustainable future without losing what made the business special. So, how do you effectively professionalize and grow a service business while honoring its core culture? Keith Burns, an experienced investor and operator, shares his strategic approach to acquiring and scaling service-based businesses. Drawing from his background in law, finance, and healthcare services, he outlines the importance of starting with a rock-solid foundation — listening to employees through HR assessments and building trust. He emphasizes the power of recurring revenue models, the risks of integration debt, and how to avoid common pitfalls like promising no change during acquisitions. Keith also dives into red flags to watch for, such as poor seller alignment or low cash flow conversion, and offers frameworks for assessing business viability and long-term potential. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Keith Burns, Co-chairman and CEO of Lullwater & Co., about strategic business acquisitions and scaling through thoughtful integration. Keith discusses how he grew the largest medical physics company in the US, shares lessons from teaching entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago, and talks about identifying business red flags, embracing culture, and choosing the right problems to solve.

UPDATED:Now... 'all shall be well' sounds great, but it is sometimes truly hard to believe! In this series, we're looking at some anxiety-producing topics through Julian of Norwich's lens of faith, hope, and love.Today, Julia interviews Ron Schmidt, whose passion for creation care (especially about achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions) is filled with conviction, curiosity, and hope. Listen in as one of our sages talks about his passion for the earth, his concern about climate change, and why he believes that working towards an impossible and an important goal is both life-giving and the best use of who God made him to be.Ron grew up in a working-class family in Milwaukee and graduated with his MBA and BBA with an accounting major from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. While beginning his career in public accounting, during which time he obtained his CPA, Ron eventually moved into banking. In 1983, Ron relocated to Columbus to join Bank One, which, ultimately, became JPMorgan Chase. After retirement in 2009, Ron joined Vineyard Columbus, graduating from Vineyard Institute in 2014. Only recently (2024) did he become actively involved in creation care. Ron is married and has four adult children and four grandchildren. You can contact Ron at: ron.creationcare@gmail.com.Julian of Norwich lived in the Middle Ages through the Black Plague and is one of the church's most recognized mystics.  She wrote the earliest surviving book in the English language written by a woman, Revelations of Divine Love, in which we find her well known reflection: Here I was taught by the grace of God that I should steadfastly hold me in the Faith ... and that ... I should take my stand on and earnestly believe in ... that ‘all manner of thing shall be well'.
