In this episode I get into bids for connection, the Gottman Institute's term for the small moments when your partner reaches out to you, and why how often you turn towards them is one of the biggest predictors of whether a couple stays together or gets divorced. I go through the newlywed research that followed couples for six years and sorted them into masters and disasters, and the part that actually matters, which is not catching every bid but going back to repair the ones you miss. I talk about the emotional bank account, Alexis Fernandez's tennis ball, the bird theory trend and Robert Irwin's answer to it, and why the phone is the biggest killer of all of it. I go into the year I spent making big grand gestures while missing the small ones, and what changed in the two weeks before I recorded this. This one was made with Denza. We packed the B5, drove up into the hinterland and set camp for the night, and that is where the episode was recorded. The cooler in the centre console kept the sandwiches cold on the way up, the boot is spacious and fits everything we need and this car is just such a pleasure to drive. Thanks DENZA Gold Coast.

Black & Gold Auction House – Round 3. Bids on Roman Wilson, Germie Bernard, and Pat Freiermuth ensue.

Will Howard said that he did not play up to par against the Packers on Friday. Most people would probably agree, as he threw 2 picks and didn't show many positives. Poni thinks that Howard has back up quarterback vibes and he does not expect Howard to be the team's QB of the future. A lot of people thought that Howard was a steal in the draft, and are staying rigid on that belief despite his struggles. Former Steelers QB Charlie Batch joined the show. Charlie said that Will Howard wasn't 100% to blame for the interceptions he threw against the Packers, but both of them were still bad decisions/throws. He also says that Howard needs to get a better feel for the pocket, citing the sack he took on the first drive on Friday. Charlie says that he liked what he saw from Drew Allar, including the field flipping play in the 3rd quarter. Batch says that he doesn't think Howard would clear waivers if the Steelers wanted to put him on the practice squad. Black & Gold Auction House – Round 3. Bids on Roman Wilson, Germie Bernard, and Pat Freiermuth ensue.

Psychologist Russ Poldrack is a mind reader of sorts, but not in the traditional sense of the word. Instead, he makes movies of blood flow in the brain using functional MRI to draw insights into the function of specific regions of the brain to decipher how they control behavior. In one example, Poldrack has shown how people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have enhanced “salience networks” that turn on when surprising things happen. This finding could have “very profound” outcomes in diagnosis and treatment, Poldrack tells host Russ Altman in this wide-ranging exploration of the implications and the ethics of functional neuroimaging on Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

There has been a lot of buzz around the upcoming Universal Project currently in development in Bedfordshire. It's estimated to generate around £50 billion in economic benefit, along with the creation of 20,000 jobs during its construction, and a further 8,000 jobs once it's operational. It's undoubtedly brought a lot of eyes towards the smallest county in the UK, and with it a lot of opportunity for local businesses to get involved with not only the main theme park itself, but the surrounding projects that aim to make Bedford and beyond a thriving tourist destination. For those wondering how to get involved, there is a dedicated group looking to share knowledge and tools to get you tender ready. In this episode, we are joined by Lorna Leonard, Managing Director of LBS, and Kirsty Maynard, Commercial Director of THSP, who are instrumental in running BedX, a group dedicated to sharing knowledge and tools to help businesses get tender ready for Universal and beyond. Listen to our roundtable discussion as we dive into why BedX was created, its main drivers, how it can support local businesses and how you can get involved. You'll learn ·      Who are Kirsty and Lorna? ·      What is BedX? ·      What were the main drivers behind the creation of BedX? ·      What are the group's main aims? ·      What are Kirsty and Lorna's roles within the group? ·      How can businesses get involved with and benefit from BedX? ·      What can businesses be doing now to get tender ready for Universal?     Resources ·      Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce - BedX ·      BedX Webinars ·      Tender Diagnostic ·      Kirsty Maynard LinkedIn ·      Lorna Leonard LinkedIn   In this episode, we talk about: [02:25] Episode Summary – Stephanie Churchman and Carly Mowbray are joined by Lorna Leonard (LBSv) and Kirsty Maynard (THSP) to discuss the creation of BedX, and how it aims to support businesses with tender preparation ahead of the Universal and related projects currently underway in Bedfordshire.   [01:25] Who are Kirsty and Lorna?: Kirsty is the commercial director at THSP. THSP work with businesses across health and safety, HR and compliance, helping organizations make sure they've got the right systems, processes and people in place to operate safely, professionally and compliantly. THSP have been in operation since 1992 and support any type of organisation, from construction to food brands, global luxury retailers, major transport organizations, and complex international businesses operating in highly controlled environments. Lorna is the managing director of LBS. LBS is a business solutions company supporting sophisticated start-ups and growing corporations with outsourced finance department services, direction and solutions. She set-up the business 14 years ago, and has worked with organisations of all sizes, from blue chip companies to micro businesses of only 1 or 2 people. Regular listeners may recall Lorna from a previous episode, she also shares many insightful posts on LinkedIn and is certainly worth a follow! [07:05] What is BedX? It's A business-led working group powered by the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce. It was created to help Bedfordshire businesses understand, prepare for and win work from the major investments coming into the region, in particular, the universal destinations and experiences, the Luton Airport expansion and other on-going linked projects. BedX's role is to connect, inform and prepare, but they don't lobby, they don't represent the developers and they don't do politics. They are simply there to help local businesses get ready. [07:45] What were the main drivers behind the creation of BedX? The Universal park is certainly the banner piece for the group. It's what all the big numbers are attached to, including 5 billion pounds worth of inward economic investment, 20,000 jobs created and the five years' worth of construction. However, that is just one part of the upcoming development going on in Bedfordshire. The big project is seeing more funding going into the area to support transport networks and other venues as investors seek to make Bedfordshire a place worth staying for more than just the Universal Park. Other projects include the expansion of the Wixams Train Station, construction at the Luton Hoo, the new Luton Town Football Club and a new Data Centre at Quest Pit. BedX was created in response to all of these projects, not just Universal. It's to help local businesses navigate these opportunities, as this small county has rarely seen such a seismic shift in the amount of investment going into the area. Even though the deadline for Universal Park is 5 years away, supply chains are looking for support now, which is why it's better to start preparing sooner rather than later. [10:20] Making Bedfordshire a play to stay: It's also not just about the venues, to prepare for the influx of tourists there will be more investment in housing and transport and related routes such as the work currently going on at the Black Cat roundabout. Kirsty states that the Bedford County Council have a scrutiny committee, which is currently labelled as the Universal Scrutiny Committee, and are in discussion about a viable tourist strategy for Bedfordshire. So, there is no doubt that there will be many more small projects going ahead within a very short timeframe to get the area ready. [12:00] How LBS's expertise is instrumental within BedX: Businesses that want to get involved may not know how to get working capital or access potential available funding, which is where Lorna's and LBS's expertise comes in to support BedX's aims. With tenders as highly valued as this, it can throw businesses through a loop if they're not prepared. Lorna shares a story where she explains that she used to work for a company that made point of purchase display equipment, this company had a US subsidiary called Anshauser-Busch, who own Budweiser. That subsidiary put through an order directly through to their factory, requesting a huge order be manufactured and delivered within 180 days. The cost of which was upwards of $2.7 million, which was due to suppliers 150 days prior to Lorna's company at the time being paid. It was their first time working with that subsidiary, so there was no guarantee on payment. The lessons they learned ended up shaping how the company operated going forward. All this to say, if you're bidding for high value contracts, you need to think about the opportunity from every perspective. [14:40] Be realistic about what you bid for: Kirsty states she is really passionate about ensuring businesses are trying to grow responsibly, so that they understand those terms in the bid and that they're realistic about the size of contract that they should be bidding for. If you're looking for more guidance in this area, Katie from Bids and Tender Support provided a webinar on this topic for BedX. It's available to view on-demand on BedX's website. [16:25] Lorna's role within BedX: Lorna reminds us that a lot of the Tier 1 contractors started out as 1 or 2 person businesses. She states that, honestly, 90% of the companies that BedX help will not be in direct contact with one of those Tier 1 contractors. However, supply chains are just that, a chain, there are many opportunities to get involved further down the line. Lorna feels as if that's a large part of her role, keeping businesses focused on the opportunities they can access within that supply chain. She is also keen to help all the local businesses understand how this is going to affect them, because whether they get involved in the various projects being built or not, the whole area is going to be affected regardless. She points out an example where they needed to source a large number of electricians, and it turns out that Bedfordshire simply doesn't have enough! So BedX is helping to make the wider community aware of training opportunities like this that can open doors for local businesses. [18:45] Other considerations for businesses operating in Bedfordshire: Lorna points out a few other concerns that people had about the on-going development in the area, including the possibility of local contractors putting prices up due to all the other projects. Timeframes may also be affected by both on-going work and the fact that more businesses will be getting involved in the area's development. [19:15] What are the group's main aims?: BedX's main aim is to be an opportunity exchange, they sit in the middle as a conduit between the opportunities and the Bedfordshire businesses and help to inform, educate and prepare to be a part of it. They are there to support preparation local businesses are able to access emerging supply chains as that waterfall flows down into tier 2 and 3 and even into 4 and 5 over the course of the project. If you're not sure which of those tiers you'd likely sit in, BedX have a helpful household checklist to find out. [20:20] Getting ISO Ready for Universal: Kirsty mentions that she's seen a lot of recent Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQ's) request that bidding companies are certified to ISO 27001 Information Security. Many will be familiar with the requests for ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety), but ISO 27001 seems to be a more recent pre-requisite. This is particularly the case for any Government contracts, with them stating either Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 must be in place for any bidding businesses. Carly points out that ISO 27001 in many cases is just the first step, as you can strengthen this with supporting Standards such as ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management) and ISO 27017 & ISO 27018 (Cloud Security), which can give you an advantage over your competitors. If you've not got any Standards in place, or are just starting out on your implementation journey, you can get in contact with Blackmores as we'd be happy to guide you towards successful certification. [25:00] Kirsty's role within BedX: Kirsty's role is focused on coordination, though all BedX organisers are volunteers, they still want to ensure that actions are followed up and completed. Kirsty has a project planning background and brings those skills to the group. She also plays a key part in tender and procurement readiness, as she has years of experience with PQQ's from her work within the construction industry. She knows what good looks like when bidding for work, and ensures that knowledge is being passed on to those looking to bid for Universal and other Bedfordshire development projects. A trait that many of the BedX team hold, Kirsty and Lorna especially, is the motivation to help people, and this group allows them to do so at scale. [27:45] How can businesses get involved with BedX?: You don't need to be a member of the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce to get involved. Currently BedX's main focus is on knowledge sharing, so their main output in webinars. They also have a tender diagnostic tool available, this is an online tool which takes just a few minutes to complete and will give you an idea of where you're already compliant and where there's work to be done. They have also had 1 in-person event, that being their official launch in April of 2026, which was attended by members from the Bedfordshire business community and representatives from Universal, Sizewell C and Luton Rising. They expect to run more in-person events in future, so keep an eye on their LinkedIn for news on these! Lorna hints at an upcoming event planned for September 2026

A $6.9 million estimate. A $1.25 billion catastrophe. How fake deadlines, a rigged bid, and a steering committee allergic to bad news turned a routine payroll migration into one of the biggest project disasters in Australian history. What happens when project leadership treats risk management as optional, decision making gets diffused across committees, and a hard deadline turns out to be completely negotiable? You get one of the most instructive project failure case studies in project management history — and in this episode, Kim and Kate pour it out one painful lesson at a time. The subject is Queensland Health, the public healthcare provider for the Australian state of Queensland, employing roughly 85,000 people across about 300 sites. In 2005, their legacy payroll vendor gave them three years' notice: support ends June 30, 2008. Sounds like plenty of runway — until the organization waited two of those three years to act. By the time a consultant named Terry Burns (remember that name) ran the procurement and IBM signed a contract in December 2007, the original $6.9 million estimate had ballooned to a $98 million contract with just six months to deliver a system covering more than 24,000 unique payroll combinations. Why does this matter for project managers and leaders? Because almost nothing that went wrong here is exotic. Late project intake. Governance where a transition team, a steering committee, and an IT department all had partial authority but no single decision-making structure. Two weeks — total — for requirements gathering on a nine-figure program. A "lift and shift" strategy that preserved every broken process and demanded 2,500 custom software configurations to replicate them. As Kim and Kate walk through it, the episode becomes a masterclass in how ordinary project management failures compound into organizational catastrophe. The discussion highlights are equal parts horrifying and hilarious. There's the program's actual internal slogan, taken straight from the project materials: "Plan A or Die" — no continuity plan, no risk mitigation, no fallback. There's the June 2008 deadline that came and went with a simple change request and some extended support from the legacy vendor, prompting Kate's sharp observation that the date was fake and not fake at once: end-of-life risk is real even when the cliff turns out to be movable. There's the UAT phase in June 2009 that surfaced 2,422 severe defects — after which the steering committee simply reclassified high-severity defects as lower severity so the dashboards would show enough green to proceed. Watermelon project, indeed. And when frontline payroll staff kept failing the system in testing, leadership's answer was to remove the requirement for business sign-off entirely. The go-live in March 2010 delivered the reckoning: 35,000 payroll anomalies, roughly $400 million in accidental overpayments, zero-dollar paychecks for healthcare workers, and government debt collectors hounding nurses for money they never asked to receive. Queensland ultimately hired a thousand staff to manually prop up the new system — a 40 percent increase in labor over the old one — with a projected five-year cost to taxpayers of $1.25 billion. The commission of inquiry that followed, led by the Right Honourable Richard Noel Chesterman, revealed the final twist: Terry Burns, a former IBMer, had leaked a competitor's bid specs to IBM and browbeaten the selection panel into rescoring until IBM won. And when the state sued? A release buried in the fine print of a change order had signed away its right to litigate. Grab a drink and join us. Quotes from the Episode "Everyone's in charge, so no one's in charge." — Kate "If you've got a deadline, question the deadline." — Kim "I've heard the term watermelon project where they're green on the outside and red on the inside." — Kim "And you are paying that company that you're hiring to learn." — Kate "But ultimately, if your project options are plan A or die. Maybe sometimes the best option is die." — Kim Practical Takeaways Governance and decision rights — When multiple bodies share authority without a single decision-making structure, accountability evaporates ("everyone's in charge, so no one's in charge"). Deadline validation — Interrogate whether a project deadline is a true constraint or a negotiable date, and what options (like extended vendor support) exist beyond it. The watermelon project pattern — Recognizing status distortion, including reclassifying defect severity and removing sign-off requirements to force green dashboards. Parallel run as cutover risk mitigation — Why replacing a legacy business-critical system requires side-by-side operation and validation before go-live. Procurement integrity and vendor selection — The risks of conflicts of interest in vendor selection, of choosing a vendor with no prior experience delivering the solution, and of unreviewed contract fine print. Closing Reflection Nobody ever really "accepts" a risk on paper. When risks are realized, someone always pays—taxpayers, frontline workers, or the organization itself. Sometimes the bravest act of project leadership is admitting that Plan A deserves to die.

The three of us recently, like all of us during the past six months, bought old but new-to-us cool cars and we discuss. Jeff Bank was the most recent, purchasing a manual Porsche 997.2 cabriolet on Cars and Bids, while Steve-0 traded his E92 M3 for a manual 997.2 coupe, and our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran took delivery of his bespoke ERA Shelby Cobra replica. Steve-0 then rants that Porsche has produced cars that it shouldn't have--a Porsche too far--and it happened again with the Taycan. Now they need to fix the company again.

Here is the optimized Spotify podcast description based on your show notes.What is the difference between unit price and lump sum bids, and how do they impact your bottom line? In this episode of the Build America Podcast, host Scott Jennings breaks down the operational mechanics of the two primary ways construction bids are priced. Drawing from his extensive background as a laborer, civil construction company owner, and contractor, Scott explores the strategic pros and cons for both owners and contractors. He also shares unfiltered personal stories illustrating the massive financial risks and rewards of these bidding structures. What We Cover in This Episode:Unit Price vs. Lump Sum Bids: Learn the operational differences between breaking a project down into itemized units versus submitting a single, all inclusive price for the entire scope of work. The Strategy of Balanced and Unbalanced Bids: Discover how savvy contractors audit job quantities before bidding to artificially adjust unit prices and maximize profits when actual quantities change. Historical Pricing and Change Orders: How government agencies like State DOTs use unit pricing to budget multi million dollar projects in minutes, and how it provides a clear framework for change order negotiations. The High Stakes Realities of Contracting: The double edged sword of manipulating unit prices, and how contractual technicalities can lead to unfair payment scenarios.

In this episode of the Green Side Up Podcast, Jason and Jordan open with a fun recap of Dollywood—great landscaping, real shade, and a memorable potty-training moment—before announcing a new Tree Care Business Webinar series in partnership with SingleOps and Granum, running August through December. They then dig into how they price big work: Jason breaks down production-based estimating for commercial maintenance, including policing trashy sites and structuring man-hours, while Jordan walks through his daily-rate method and a real government bid for invasive plant removal, from OpenGov and pre-bid meetings to MOT, herbicide subs, and building in the right fudge factor. They wrap by teasing future content on autonomous Kress mowers and inviting listeners to catch them at the Landscape Show in Orlando. Connect with Jason and Jordan:

The PBS Committee is back on Engage with important updates for every Delta pilot. PBS Committee Chairman Captain Scott Ryan and Vice Chairman Captain Brett Vining join host First Officer Ryan Argenta to explain the upcoming NavBlue PBS release, including the move to single sign-on through DeltaNet, the new PBS link, and what pilots need to know before bidding for the September schedule. The episode walks through several new and optional PBS features, including total pay visibility, short call bidding, award reserve day on, auto-save, and bug fixes pilots have been asking for. Scott and Brett also explain how third-party bidding services may be affected by single sign-on and MFA requirements. Beyond the technical updates, the conversation dives into practical bidding strategy, including low-credit line techniques, why bidding smarter can improve quality of life, and how individual pilot bidding behavior can affect category staffing, reserve numbers, and premium flying. Whether you bid every month with precision or still feel like PBS is a black box, this episode offers useful updates, reminders, and strategies to help pilots better understand the system and make PBS work for them.  References: PBS Notepad
