On this episode of Home in Progress, Dan Hansen sits down with Ginger Herman of Suprins Group at Five Star Real Estate Leaders for a timely 2026 West Michigan real estate update — plus a behind-the-scenes look at Ginger's own ski chalet renovation.Ginger explains that as winter fades, Michigan's spring market is heating up. Inventory remains tight but is improving, particularly in the $350,000–$400,000 range. Bidding wars are still happening, though not as frenzied as previous years. Mortgage rates have eased compared to last year, hovering in the high-5% to low-6% range, while home prices continue their steady climb.For sellers preparing to list, Ginger emphasizes the fundamentals: deep cleaning, decluttering, and addressing small deferred repairs. Strategic prep depends on your pricing goals and neighborhood comparables — but presentation still matters.In the second half of the episode, Ginger shares the story of purchasing and refreshing a fully furnished 1970s ski chalet rental — complete with orange accents and dated finishes. Instead of gutting the character, she leaned into it. Keeping the black trim and wood floors, she updated the space with Benjamin Moore Ballet White and Sweet Rosie Brown, using Scuff-X for durability in a high-traffic rental. With guidance from a color specialist and expert advice on finishes for tall, light-filled walls, the chalet now feels fresh while honoring its roots.A practical market update and a real-world paint transformation — all in one conversation.EPISODE TIMELINE00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:24 Winter Walk Mirror Moment03:32 Spring Market Warming Up05:09 Inventory and Buyer Segments07:00 Mortgage Rates and Pricing08:44 Offers and Timing Strategy11:03 Seller Prep and Touchups13:23 Deep Clean and Declutter18:14 Contact Info and Break19:19 Ski Chalet Project Begins20:15 Buying the Chalet Fast20:57 Renovation Plans and Style21:57 Seventies Decor Tour23:15 Renovation Vision24:26 Color Plan With Hailey27:18 Neutrals Versus Cabin Dark28:51 Bathroom Color Pop29:34 Paint Finish And Scuff X32:06 Why Experts Matter33:49 Wrap Up And Furnishings34:33 Rentals And Repeat Guests35:56 Consultations And Store Help38:27 Company Experience And Thanks39:17 Contact Info And Sign Off

Today's Headlines: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee in the first of two days of Epstein-related depositions involving the Clintons. The closed-door hearing was briefly paused after Rep. Lauren Boebert leaked a photo of Clinton testifying to right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson, who posted it online. Clinton later told reporters she “did not know Jeffrey Epstein” and criticized the committee for not calling individuals more prominently named in Epstein files. She also said lawmakers repeatedly questioned her about UFOs and “Pizzagate.” Meanwhile, U.S.–Iran nuclear talks resumed in Geneva, with officials describing discussions as “positive,” even as concerns linger about potential military escalation. In New York, Columbia University student Elmina Aghayeva was detained by ICE agents inside her campus housing after agents reportedly misrepresented themselves to gain entry. She was later released following intervention by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who was meeting with Donald Trump at the White House regarding housing investment proposals. Vice President JD Vance announced a pause on $259 million in Medicaid funding allocated to Minnesota, signaling potential broader funding freezes. In Kansas, the Republican-controlled legislature overrode Gov. Laura Kelly's veto to enact a law invalidating updated gender markers on driver's licenses and birth certificates for transgender residents. In media and tech, Netflix withdrew its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, clearing the way for Paramount's higher offer. AI company Anthropic announced it is dropping its 2023 voluntary safety pledge amid competitive pressure. More than 1,800 companies have filed lawsuits seeking refunds for Trump-era tariffs ruled illegal, totaling roughly $130 billion. Finally, Trump also invoked the Defense Production Act to boost domestic production of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, despite ongoing litigation linking the herbicide to cancer, and a new military readiness report additionally calls for major Pentagon reforms in cybersecurity, procurement, and tech modernization.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes construction curator Monika Zasada for a fresh and empowering take on how we build homes—and how we should. With decades of experience as a general contractor turned “curator,” Monika breaks down why the traditional construction process is broken, how competitive bidding fails homeowners, and what it really takes to create a joyful, healthy, and lasting home. From the pitfalls of unrealistic design expectations to the emotional intensity of building projects, she shares her collaborative, client-first method that turns renovation horror stories into well-orchestrated action films. You'll hear why she says “no” to ego-driven architects, how lighting impacts mental health, and what makes a project truly sustainable. If you've ever planned—or dreamed—of building your own home, this episode is essential listening.More About Monika ZasadaAs the world's only home construction curator, utilizing my 25-year experience, Monika helps homeowners make their renovation and building projects a success (instead of the usual horror story of evaporating money, nervous breakdowns as well as questionable quality and never-ending construction).

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10, sponsored by DDP Medical Supply. Today's guest, Brian O'Neill, president of DDP Medical Supply, says providers of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are at a fork in the road. With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adding CGMs to the next round of the Medicare competitive bidding program, providers must choose: • Step away before bidding begins; or • Scale up to compete for one of the limited contracts O'Neill shares why DDP is focused on partnering with those aiming to win – and how its expanded distribution network and other upcoming initiatives are designed to help providers deliver nationwide efficiently and economically.

George Kittle tears his Achilles and responds by pounding tequila sent from the 49ers owner's suite. The Bills start auctioning off pieces of Highmark Stadium, including the legendary bathroom troughs. And the Orioles announce a Tupac bobblehead because MLB marketing has zero fear. We break down the 49ers injury conspiracy involving an electrical substation, relive the best moments from Wild Card Weekend, and somehow spend way too much time debating trough etiquette, girth math, and whether “hog” is the correct term. Also on the show: • Mike Tomlin out in Pittsburgh and what that job opening means • Calvin Johnson admitting he got high before games late in his career • Missouri trying to replace the Chiefs with the Battlehawks • Indiana transfer Nick Marsh getting caught with FanDuel on his phone • Florida State's ACC power move leading to Miami cashing a massive check • A UAB player entering the transfer portal while facing attempted murder charges • Cincinnati fans planning a brown paper bag night • Brooks Koepka welcomed back to the PGA while Phil Mickelson gets petty-snubbed Sports news, dumb debates, and zero impulse control.
Saying yes to every pool is the fastest way to burn out your route and your margins. We break down a practical bidding system for weekly service, green pool cleanups, acid washes, and installs that protects your time, sets clear expectations, and helps you win the right work at the right price.We start with the mindset shift: only bid work you're ready to start. From there, we walk through a thorough site assessment that treats each pool like a home inspection—surface condition, equipment health, tree cover, access, and debris patterns all factor into time-on-site. You'll hear why a strict no‑touch rule during bids prevents costly blame games, plus how to read client fit by talking through expectations before you ever pick up a pole.Next, we get into pricing mechanics. Set a realistic baseline for an easy pool and scale up for gallons, complexity, and seasonal load. Ditch the “it evens out across my route” myth—each account must carry its true cost. We share a simple script for correcting an underbid without losing the client: own the mistake, explain the time gap, and offer a clear path forward. For green pools, we recommend tiered severity and a built‑in cushion to cover surprise revisits and chemical demand. For repairs and installs, use flat fees with adders for tight pads and re-plumbing so you get paid for both the job and the opportunity cost.By the end, you'll have the tools to bid with confidence, avoid troublesome accounts, and charge prices that reflect your expertise. If you're landing every quote, you're likely underpriced; aim to win fewer, better jobs that pay fairly and keep your schedule sane. • committing to jobs you actually want• assessing surfaces, equipment, debris, and access• meeting clients and gauging fit• no‑touch policy during bids to avoid liability• building a baseline rate and scaling by time• raising underbids with direct, honest language• pricing green pools with a 20 percent cushion• flat‑fee installs with adders for complexity• focusing on opportunity cost andSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

You wanna know where profit goes to die? It's not payroll. It's not fuel. It's your bidding process. That's where most contractors quietly bleed money and don't even realize it. You underbid to win the job, you guess instead of estimate, you forget overhead, drive time, admin, callbacks, and suddenly that "good contract" is just keeping you busy, not profitable. You didn't lose the job. You lost the margin before you ever started. Winning bids doesn't build wealth. Profitable bids do. If you don't know your true numbers, your bids are just educated guesses and guesses don't scale.

Construction sales feel like a grind because the root problem isn't sales — it's the business infrastructure underneath. In this episode, we unpack the 10 structural roadblocks that make selling construction work under $100M so difficult. These issues include unclear vision, missing strategy, weak financial visibility, poor org structure, broken incentive systems, no management rhythm, and outdated hiring and development practices. Fix these, and sales becomes dramatically easier. Ignore them, and every bid feels like a battle. If you're tired of grinding, guessing, and hoping for better results, this episode gives you the roadmap. Top 10 Reasons Contractors Struggle to Scale: 1. Lack of a clear vision for the future 2. Lack of a clear, well-documented strategy 3. No critical metrics defining business performance 4. Poorly defined organizational structure and role clarity 5. Limited financial visibility and business acumen 6. Misaligned or poorly designed incentive systems 7. Undefined cultural norms, values, and beliefs 8. No management system to drive communication and accountability 9. Ineffective hiring processes 10. Lack of employee development capability
This week, the team breaks down what recent platform moves signal for operators heading into 2026 - starting with Shopify's Winter Editions and the growing role of Sidekick inside the Shopify ecosystem. They discuss how tools like Sidekick are democratizing data access, reducing operational friction, and changing how lean growth teams analyze performance, build reports, and take action inside the admin.From there, the conversation shifts to BFCM performance and incrementality, with the hosts unpacking what they learned from scaling spend in steps during peak periods. They discuss where incremental gains showed up, where marginal returns began to flatten, and why short testing windows can still offer directional insight even when results are noisy.The team then reacts to and unpacks a tweet about Amazon bidding more aggressively on brand terms, using it as a jumping-off point to explore demand capture during promo periods, brand search strategy, and how branded demand is distributed across Amazon and DTC during high-intent moments.Throughout the episode, a key theme emerges: how operators should interpret signals from major platforms and translate them into proactive strategy rather than reactive tactics. The episode wraps with a candid conversation on 2026 planning, including examples like Connor Rolain's pyramid-style goal-setting framework, org design considerations, and how growth leaders can balance short-term execution with long-term thinking.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 – Shopify Winter Editions and the Rise of Sidekick00:06:46 – Data Democratization and AI Inside Shopify00:14:34 – Shopify Collective and Cross-Brand Merchandising00:19:03 – Black Friday Scaling Tests and Marginal ROAS00:27:27 – Brand Search Incrementality and Paid Search Myths00:32:14 – Amazon Brand Bidding and the “Amazon Tax”00:36:39 – What CMOs Must Lock Before Year-End Planning00:41:22 – Hiring Plans, Budgets, and 2026 Readiness00:46:21 – Managing Multiple Timelines Across Growth Teams00:49:38 – Strategic Filters, Objectives, and Goal-Setting FrameworksPowered by:Motion.https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-readshttps://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsRivo.https://www.rivo.io/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

This episode is powerful because pricing is the #1 issue that destroys contractor profitability, confidence, and scalability. Episode 47 positions YOU to become the authority who understands your value and breaks free from fear-based pricing. Many contractors are working their pricing backward, using an hourly rate, and actually have no idea what their cost of doing business actually is. They fight the low-cost competition only to put themselves out of business chasing that white rabbit down the hole of No Future. Listen as Paul Abernathy, CEO and Founder of Electrical Code Academy, Inc., the leading electrical educator in the country, discusses electrical code, electrical trade, and electrical business-related topics to help electricians maximize their knowledge and industry investment.If you are looking to learn more about the National Electrical Code, for electrical exam preparation, or to better your knowledge of the NEC, then visit https://fasttraxsystem.com for all the electrical code training you will ever need by the leading electrical educator in the country with the best NEC learning program on the planet.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/electrify-electrician-podcast--4131858/support.
I had the incredible opportunity to bring together some of the brightest minds in the creator economy for an evening of candid conversation about where this industry is headed. From ad tech innovations to creator authenticity, we covered the full spectrum of what it takes to turn creator content into scalable, revenue-generating partnerships. Conor McKenna from Luma and Zoe Soon from the IAB kicked things off with a macro view of the space, discussing how fragmented media is creating massive opportunities for technology to step in. We explored why brands are shifting budgets at unprecedented rates, with Unilever committing 50% of marketing spend to creator-related initiatives.The evening featured deep dives into brand integration strategies with Ali Parish from Blue Hour Studios and Jeremy Stewart from VuePlanner, followed by an eye-opening discussion with Arthur Leopolod from Agentio about how AI and automation are revolutionizing creator advertising. Perhaps most compelling was hearing directly from Sydney Jo, the creator behind the viral Group Chat series, and her manager Haley Friedman from Made By All about the reality of building a creator business. From navigating brand negotiations to maintaining creative authenticity, this conversation revealed both the opportunities and challenges facing the next generation of digital storytellers._______________________________________________Key Highlights
