Stacey told police that her ex-boyfriend, Scott Baldwin, killed Earl O-Byrne, but they didn't believe her. So why, 12-years later, did the Kalamazoo Cold Case Team decide she was telling the truth? What will she say 25 years later when the PROOF team talks to her? The team also looks at another Kalamazoo cold case with similarities to Baldwin's: the 1991 murder of 27-year-old Christine Dimmick.

The brutal 1988 murder of 83-year-old Kalamazoo bike shop owner Earl O'Byrne is shocking. Earl is a fixture in the community who has sold just about every kid in town their first bicycle. Despite numerous tips, the case goes cold. But over a decade later Scott Baldwin is arrested by the newly formed Cold Case Team and is convicted of killing Earl. Scott is adamant he didn't do it and now, 25 years later, he's afraid he will die from the cancer spreading through his body before the truth is uncovered. Susan Simpson, Jacinda Davis, and Kevin Fitzpatrick race against the clock to find out what really happened before it's too late for Scott – what they didn't expect to uncover is a web of troubling convictions that expands far beyond the case of this one defendant.   Visit our website at ⁠proofcrimepod.com⁠.  Follow us on social media.

For a bulk of the country, winter brings a sharp drop in temperatures, and predictably, a dip in bike sales. It's easy to slip into "Winter Mode": reduced staff, decreased hours, and a collective deep breath until spring.But here's the reality check: You don't have to endure the off-season; you get to conquer it.This slower period is not a negative to survive—it's a powerful, dedicated block of time to invest in your business's future. It's time to stop waiting for spring and start turning your off-season into your post-season.Here are seven ways to win your post-season! Dig into all the details on David's blog post.1. Master Your InventoryThe Power Move: Schedule a full, one-day store inventory. Yes, you may need to close, but you will uncover far more than you would with piecemeal efforts—from misplaced tools to completely lost product.2. Plan Your Product Assortment (and Displays)Action Step: Use your historical data (see #4 below!) to create a detailed plan for your product mix. Get your staff involved. Plan out floor space and fixture needs.3. Cash In, Clear Out: Strategic MarkdownsThe Focus: Identify products that are six months old or older. Mark them down aggressively.4. Unlock Data Power: POS ManagementThe Fix: I can almost guarantee that a quick peek into your POS will reveal dozens, if not hundreds, of items that are uncategorized or mislabeled. Dedicate staff time to correcting this.5. Elevate Your Team: Unified Sales TrainingImplementation: Select a training guide or framework that is easy for your entire team to learn, regardless of their position. Every single staff member should be on the same page.6. Get Ahead: Build Your Marketing CalendarThe Blueprint: Create a simple calendar (digital or print) mapping out all major holidays, local bike races, shop events, and school breaks.7. Deep Clean and Reset: Refresh Your EnvironmentThe Task: Throw away that three-year-old expired POP. Get rid of broken fixtures. Pull workbenches away from the walls and scrub down the service area. Invest in new service mats.Here at Workstand, we can literally help you with every single one of these areas—from running that critical inventory audit and cleaning up your POS data, to structuring your team's sales training.Don't just survive the winter; prepare to dominate next Be sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.

Julie Walsh, Account Manager and Marketing Strategist from the Workstand Marketing Agency Team, joins the podcast to talk about successful strategies for sales success during the 2025 holiday season. Julie has also published a new blog post with even more details and additional resources to help you grow sales in a challenging and competitive market. The high-level tips are:1. Look through the eyes of your customersIf your homepage feels a little out of season, revamp your website for the holidays with a homepage takeover. 2. Make shopping easyShoppers prioritize convenience when purchasing online. Simplify things by bundling content and scheduling it through the end of the year with pre-built content like Cyber Week, Holiday Sale, and Last-Minute Gifts. 3. Win local search campaignsCorner your local cycling market with Google Ads. Shoppers often look to Google first for desirable products—get your inventory at the top of search results so it's always top of mind. 4. Stay top of mind on all channelsStaying connected with your customers is key to keeping them engaged through the holidays and into the new year. Don't forget the power of traditional mail, too. Sending a physical holiday postcard or flyer to your customer list adds a personal, memorable touch that stands out in a digital-heavy season. 5. "Set and forget” customer communicationWhen you don't have time to plan out email campaigns, you can still keep in touch with customers by sending out automated emails after they've made a purchase with Workstand IQ Loyalty.6.

And, from mass layoffs at the Department of Education to a crusade against DEI in schools, the Trump Administration has sent shockwaves through Colorado classrooms. Also, Welcome to the Indieverse! 

Lance, George, and Bradley, coming live from Mellow Johnny's in Austin, Texas, break down Tadej Pogačar's jaw-dropping ride to win the 2025 edition of the Tour of Flanders, which saw him ride clear of a truly elite group of one-day Galácticos to take his second career Flanders title, all in just three career starts. The crew discusses the key moments of the race, what this performance says about Pogačar's place in the sport's history, and how riders like Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Mads Pedersen, and Filippo Ganna can hope to challenge him next week over the cobblestones at Paris-Roubaix.
