More Perils of Motorcycling by Ms Alanna Gayko Moreperilsofmotorcycling.com Amazon.com 'More Perils of Motorcycling' is the continued story of my motorcycle travels across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States during the previous decade. Other travels include riding two different BMW 650cc motorcycles in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region in the tip of Western Australia. A highlight of my travels was a month-long ride 'Around Oz 2016' on my reliable 2011 Harley Davidson Blackline motorcycle. This trip was solely undertaken to raise awareness of the rare disease called 'Batten disease'. This is a life-limiting neurodegenerative (a type of dementia) genetic disease, which mostly impacts young children. Join me on my motorcycle travels - some off-road, with many adventures in between.

From starting as a BMW service valet to now consistently selling 46 cars in a month, Jacob's story proves that success leaves clues—and he's here to share them with you! "Success leaves clues. That's part of the reason why we created this podcast is the mission is to get the information from the people that have it and give it to the people that need." Jacob dives into the essential components that fueled his rise, including CRM systems, product knowledge, and his mastery of data mining and equity mining. Learn how Jacob uses these tools to stay ahead of the curve and drive sales in the competitive high-end automotive market. He also discusses the art of building lasting customer relationships and why mastering proactive outreach is a game-changer. "Average is the enemy. You need to go in there and just try to be the very best you can be." Whether you're new to sales or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with actionable advice on evolving your approach and never settling for the status quo. Jacob's story is a testament to the power of continual learning and self-improvement, both of which are key to dominating the automotive sales game.

Key Takeaways: ✅ Foundation in CRM and Data Management: Success in sales hinges significantly on mastering customer relationship management systems and leveraging data mining and equity mining tools. ✅ Importance of Product Knowledge: Having an in-depth understanding of automotive products strengthens sales pitches and enhances customer interactions, particularly in high-line vehicle sales. ✅ Strategic Campaigning: Proactively running targeted campaigns, such as those focusing on lease retention and warranty expiration, provides lucrative opportunities for repeat business. ✅ Referral and Customer Relationship Building: Maintaining strong connections with clients leads to higher repeat business and referrals, crucial for sustained sales success. ✅ Continued Learning and Adaptation: Emphasizing a growth mindset and continual self-improvement, Garza illustrates the value of learning from industry leaders to foster success and mentorship within the field.   About Jacob Garza Jacob Daniel Garza wears many hats — literally and figuratively. He's a family-first, high-performance sales professional based in Houston, Texas. A Senior Client Advisor at BMW of West Houston, he's a proud father of three, devoted husband, uncle to many, and doodle dad. Known for always rocking a Houston sports hat — every day, on the showroom floor — Jacob is part of a greater hat community in the Houston area and is a die-hard fan who never misses a big game. He credits the car business with saving his life, but becoming a father gave him purpose. Since then, he's transformed into a top producer, helping over 300 families in 2024 and pacing 450+ in 2025, all while chasing time freedom and higher performance. Jacob leads from the front and lives with intention — building a brand, a legacy, and a life rooted in loyalty, servant leadership, and self-discipline. Ultimately, Jacob challenges listeners to think big and act intentionally — because he is living proof that you are a product of your last 1,000 days. It's never too late to become who you're meant to be. Just don't look up one day and realize that in chasing everything… you lost what matters most.     ​​The Key to Mastering the Car Sales Industry: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Success in the car sales industry requires mastering product knowledge, understanding customer needs, and building lasting relationships. Innovative use of data mining and equity mining strategies can significantly boost sales figures and personal branding. Achievement and mentorship go hand-in-hand; utilizing personal success to uplift others creates a thriving, sustainable sales environment. Mastering the Automotive Sales Process Within the competitive landscape of automotive sales, many individuals wrestle with prioritizing tasks and managing a burgeoning clientele list. According to Sean V. Bradley, host of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast and an authority in automotive sales, a significant pitfall for many is not mastering prioritization and multitasking. He states, "Most salespeople don't know how to deal with multiple things going on. Most salespeople don't know how to prioritize." Failure to manage these skills effectively leads to common missteps like oversight in client follow-up, resulting in lost sales opportunities. Jacob Garza, a guest on the podcast who has achieved remarkable sales metrics, echoes Bradley's sentiments, emphasizing meticulous CRM management. For Garza, mastery began in the BDC (Business Development Center), where crafting and managing client appointments was vital to his success. "You absolutely need to know your CRM. You need to know how to get the information, how to properly log it," he advises. For those aspiring to excel, particularly in high-pressure sales environments, learning how to track customer interactions and utilizing software efficiently is crucial. CRM platforms not only streamline the sales process but also ensure that no opportunity falls through the cracks, hence proving integral for both seasoned and budding sales professionals. Harnessing the Power of Equity Mining One of the more innovative strategies discussed during the podcast is the use of equity mining. Garza champions this practice, emphasizing its transformative impact on his sales approach. "Equity mining is the biggest one for me," he asserts. For him, focusing on customers that are already engaged with the brand and dealership yields higher conversion rates and larger commissionchecks. By leveraging Automotive Mastermind, a data mining and equity mining tool, Garza proactively engages with clients who have high-paying interest rates or are nearing the end of their warranties and lease terms. He notes, “I'm calling you today to ask you if I can get it off your hands…I would love to offer you top dollar for your car.” This strategic, data-driven outreach can effectively restructure a customer's financial situation in their favor while simultaneously enhancing the dealership's turnover. The implication is clear: tools like Automotive Mastermind not only streamline the identification of viable leads but also foster a mutually beneficial transaction landscape for both dealer and customer. Innovating Through Mentorship and Personal Branding Garza's ambition extends beyond individual success, underscoring the importance of mentorship in paving the road for aspiring sales professionals. By developing the Junior Sales Program, he consciously shares his expertise to uplift others, stating, "I wanted to be the person I needed when I was 22, 23 years old." This program illustrates that achievement in sales can also serve as a catalyst for transformative change within an organization and the industry. Mentorship instills confidence, equips individuals with critical skills, and provides invaluable industry insight—ultimately shaping a dealership that's not only thriving but is also viewed as a beacon of excellence. "You need to optimize your life and optimize your time to do that and only that," Garza admonishes. His approach to personal branding isn't merely about individual accolades; it's intrinsically linked to the success he manifests in others. Future-minded individuals in sales are encouraged to emulate this strategy, as it positions them as thought leaders and valuable mentors, fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented culture. Success in the automotive sales industry is predicated on a mastery of essential skills, innovative use of tools, and a genuine commitment to fostering community within the ranks. Learning to craft and sustain a thriving sales enterprise isn't merely a matter of technique; it's an intricate combination of skill, strategy, and empathetic leadership. The conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Jacob Garza in the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast underscores these points—highlighting not just the how-to of mastering sales, but also why personal excellence and community-building create a legacy of enduring success.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Para mi esta revista sigue siendo una referencia, una fuente fiable y una inspiración. En este número te cuentan como este coche, nacido para la competición, revolucionó el mercado de los deportivos de calle y se convirtió en una nueva referencia que llega hasta nuestros días. Por si hay algún despistado, os recuerdo que CEROaCIEN solo se vende online, ¡no vayas a preguntar por ella en el quiosco! Y también te recuerdo que si eres garajista, tienes condiciones especiales… te lo contamos todo en el texto descriptivo. Y es que hubo un tiempo en que los deportivos eran más “humanos”. Tenían una potencia elevada, pero no exagerada… Eran ligeros, con bastidores muy afinados, se “comunicaban” bien con su conductor y eran muy divertidos de conducir. Y no existían las ayudas electrónicas para “domarlos” y disfrutarlos. ¿Seguro que la necesitaban? Os voy a hablar de este asunto desde un punto de vista diferente.... Antes de que nadie se rasgue las vestiduras: Todo aquello que contribuye a la seguridad, a salvar vidas, nos parece bien. Eso es indiscutible e innegociable. He insinuado que esos deportivos más “humanos” de los años 80 y 90, que algunos ven como potros salvajes y a lo mejor no lo eran tanto, quizás “no necesitaban” ayudas electrónicas. Resulta exagerado decir que “no necesitaban” ayudas electrónicas, pero quizás no lo sea decir tanto que las necesitaban menos… Porque ahora la deportividad no se mide en disfrute de conducción, sino en caballos… gran error. Como siempre “nuestra” revista CEROaCIEN, que patrocina este video, es una fuente de sabiduría. El último número está dedicado al BMW M3, aparecido en 1985, un coche al que le bastó un motor 4 cilindros de 2,3 litros, 16 válvulas y 200 CV para convertirse en un coche deportivo mítico. Eso sí, con solo 1.200 kg ¿Alguien se atreve a decir que este M3 no es deportivo y divertido? Nos venimos al momento presente. Os leo un titular de una página Web, no voy a decir cuál, pero hubo muchas en la misma línea: “El Hyundai Ioniq 5 N de 650 CV la promesa de un deportivo eléctrico”. Un coche que declara 2.200 kg y mide más de 1,6 metros de alto en el que la electrónica no para de inmiscuirse en la conducción… ¿esto es un deportivo? Aquí llega el planteamiento que os citaba: Vamos a imaginarnos que subimos a un elevador al citado BMW M3 y al Este Ioniq… ¿Qué veríamos? La mecánica antes que la electrónica. Hablemos del BMW. Las suspensiones del primer M3 eran una verdadera maravilla, con muy buenas geometrías y unos amortiguadores de máxima calidad, lo que hacía que, pese a su propulsión trasera y ausencia de control de estabilidad electrónico, fuera un coche predecible y muy noble, incluso en mojado. Este BMW M3 lo “sentías” al volante, te “entendías” bien con él enseguida, inspiraba confianza, pero a la vez era un coche muy eficaz y endiabladamente rápido. Y desde luego resultaba muy divertidos de conducir. Los ingenieros no contaban con la ayuda de la electrónica en forma de control de estabilidad y por ello “echaban el resto” en la parte mecánica, con suspensiones de geometría sofisticadas, muy buena puesta a punto, frenos potentes pero modulables y dirección con buen tacto… esas eran sus herramientas. Sin duda un M3 con electrónica sería más seguro… y seguramente la electrónica seria menos “intrusiva” en la conducción, porque solo lo haría en casos limite… por decirlo de alguna manera, sería una “red de seguridad” no un recurso imprescindible. Esto que digo del M3 se puede aplicar a otros muchos coches, por ejemplo, al Honda NSX un “superdeportivo” que tenía solo 270 CV, poco más de 1.250 kg y un chasis y suspensión puesto a punto por el mismísimo Ayrton Senna. Quedaos con este concepto: Chasis muy afinados en los que la electrónica no era una “ayuda” en la conducción, sino una “red de seguridad” para cuando te equivocabas. La electrónica antes que la mecánica. No me voy a cebar con el citado Hyundai, porque muchos coches modernos, SUV y no SUV, chinos y no chinos, recurren al mismo sistema: Suspensiones simplonas asistidas electrónicamente. ¿Para qué complicarse con sofisticadas suspensiones, carísimo amortiguadores y afinadas puestas a punto? Antes las marcas hablaban de los tipos de suspensión y de su geometría… ahora dedican ese espacio a hablar de la conectividad y el info-entretenimiento. Una forma de dar por supuesto que ese coche es endiabladamente aburrido de conducir, por mucho que en recta aceleren como un cohete. Veo en algunos coches modernos el esquema de suspensión y me parece que hay carritos de golf con suspensiones más “curradas”. Y es que en el fondo les da igual a las marcas, porque saben que será la electrónica la que ayude a conducir ese coche. El cambio de paradigma es que los sistemas electrónicos pasan de ser un sistema de seguridad solo para casos extremos, a ser una ayuda “imprescindible”, muy intrusiva y sin la cual, el coche, sería un verdadero peligro. Por supuesto esto sucede en unas marcas más que en otras. Hay marcas que hacen deportivos con buenas suspensiones, sería el caso del BMW, Porsche o Toyota, por citar algunas, que tienen buenos bastidores y buenas ayudas electrónicas. Pero hay otras, y me atrevo a citar a la mayoría de las chinas, que lo fían todo a la electrónica. Veo videos de coches chinos que pasan por baches sin que el coche se mueva un pelo, luego se ve a otro coche, generalmente europeo, dando botes, y al apasionado “influencer” de turno diciendo que los chinos van muy por delante… ¿Han probado esos apasionados “influencer” si en curvas ese coche con unos amortiguadores electrónicos es más progresivo, más seguro, más predecible y más agradable de conducir? Hacer un vídeo sobre eso es más difícil… Conclusión: ¿Por qué no hacéis caso a Chapman? Todos conocéis la célebre frase de “quítame un kilo antes de darme un caballo”. ¿Por qué no le hacemos casos? Los deportivos de ahora son exageradamente potentes, incluso diría que innecesariamente potentes.

221. Roberto here! When my BMW M2 G87 had to go in for some TLC at CT Carbon, I expected a courtesy car with a bit of punch. Maybe another M car. Maybe an RS3. Instead... I was handed a basic, manual MG3.I haven't driven a manual in over 20 years — and I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. But what started as a frustrating downgrade quickly became a surprising day of reflection.In this episode, I review the MG MG3, share what it taught me about the cars we take for granted, and why I ended the day with a whole new appreciation for my BMW — and driving in general.Whether you're into hot hatches, M cars, or just love the open road, this one's for you.What you'll hear:My honest experience with the MG3What it reminded me about the joy of drivingHow it changed the way I view my M2 G87A few thoughts on gratitude and perspective behind the wheel

Toprak Razgatlioglu will join the Pramac Yamaha team next season, by which time he'll have turned 29-years-old. The two-time World Superbike Champion will end his time with BMW as a result, a partnership which yielded the Bavarian brand's first WorldSBK title in 2024 and Razgtlioglu's second, having taken his first with Yamaha in 2021.Razgatlioglu's deal will only keep him at Yamaha for the 2026 season, which means both parties will be open to either continuing or ending the collaboration after the first year, but, perhaps more importantly, ahead of MotoGP's biggest regulation change in a decade in 2027. The big question also lingers... Who will be his teammate? Jack Miller or Miguel Oliveira.Miller is the clear option, since his contract expires at the end of this year, but he's also been the more performative rider of the two this year, despite his difficult Aragon race that resulted in only 14th.Crash has been the global leader in terms of MotoGP news and features over the last 20 years so to expand our coverage of the sport we all love, we are now doing a weekly podcast!An in-house production brought to you by the Crash MotoGP team: Presented by Jordan Moreland (MotoGP Social Media Manager) - Peter McLaren (MotoGP Journalist) - Lewis Duncan (MotoGP Journalist)Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGP#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

Fortællingen om briten Tony Crook er samtidig en central del af historien om et af de mest eksklusive bilmærker i engelsk bilhistorie – Bristol Cars. Men først skal Tony selvfølgelig fødes, og han er så klog, at han vælger at lade det ske i en kulminefamilie i 1920. Heldigvis hos dem, der ejer kulminen, ikke dem, som render rundt nede under jorden og generelt nok ikke havde det helt så sjovt.  Som en således velsitueret ung mand må han naturligvis køre væddeløb. Og har vist også ret meget held med det, og køber sig en BMW 328. I Anden Verdenskrig bliver han pilot i Royal Air Force og flyver Bristol flyvemaskiner. I 1955 indstiller han væddeløbskarrieren efter et uheldigt møde med Stirling Moss og dennes Porsche – og helliger sig sin bilforretning, hvor han blandt mange andre ting er eneforhandler af Bristol. Senere igen bliver han endda eneejer af Bristol Cars. Herfra starter Tony sin heroiske og prisværdige kamp for at holde fast i de klassiske bildyder. Forbeholdt gentlemen, oftest af ædelbyrd, der værdsætter, og har råd itl en håndbygget bil på Chassiramme med håndbanket karrosseri (ja, efter Superleggera-metoden) og generel uvilje mod at følge med tiden. Hvilket naturligvis gør, at en Bristol – stort set uanset model – ikke kan være andet end det ultimative køretøj for en ægte bilsnob. Det mener i alle fald især den ene af denne udgaves værter, Stefan Kaas, der allerede nu ser frem til at nyde pensionisttilværelsen i en Bristol Blenheim. Det er selv om den objektivt set ligner den uheldige bror til en Ford Capri og Escort. Og panelgabene øjensynligt kan ses fra månen. Du får som vanligt forholdsvis mange kloge ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten, der lærer dig at tale med, når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda, Jean Daninos og nu altså også de kompromisløse frembringelser fra Bristol Cars.

Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der sich Marktzyklen beschleunigen, Plattformen dominieren und einige Gewissheiten zu Recht ins Wanken kommen. Gerade deshalb ist jetzt Zeit, wieder mehr in Marke zu investieren. Ein Buch, das dafür motiviert und „Macht Marke“aus dem Hermann Schmidt Verlag von Lucas von Gwinner und Dirk von Gehlen. Es ist nicht nur ein Buch über Marken. Es ist ein Buch für Menschen, die Marken machen wollen – mit Haltung, mit Handwerk, mit Herz. Lucas ist seit über 20 Jahren in der Markenführung unterwegs. Schon während seiner Schulzeit zog es ihn in Agenturen, er absolvierte sein Duales Studium bei Zintzmeyer & Lux, arbeitete danach in Markenagenturen und beriet Kunden wie BMW, Loewe oder Interspar sowie Start- und Scale-Ups. Heute ist er Leiter für Marketing und Digitales bei Finstral in Südtirol, einem führenden europäischen Fensterhersteller. Von der ambitionierten Strategie bis hin zum taktischen Gemetzel ist ihm kein Aspekt der Markenarbeit fremd. Es ist ein leidenschaftliches Gespräch mit vielen wertvollen Insights für alle, die Marke ganzheitlich denken und ihre Kraft nutzen, um Märkte und Menschen zu führen.

Une entreprise automobile française s'apprête à produire des drones en Ukraine pour l'armée ukrainienne, mais aussi pour l'armée française. Un tournant symbolique qui illustre une tendance plus large : la reconversion partielle de l'industrie automobile vers la défense, dans un contexte de tensions géopolitiques et de mutation industrielle. Décryptage. L'annonce, ce week-end, du ministre français des Armées, Sébastien Lecornu, marque une nouvelle étape dans la diversification industrielle européenne. Un constructeur français, dont le nom reste à confirmer – bien que Renault affirme avoir été approchée – va s'implanter en Ukraine pour produire des drones militaires. Une décision qui n'est pas isolée. Dès 2023, l'Allemagne a vu ses géants de l'auto, Volkswagen et BMW, s'allier à Rheinmetall pour fabriquer des systèmes électroniques embarqués. Ce glissement du civil vers le militaire évoque des précédents historiques, comme celui de Ford fabriquant des chars pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.À lire aussiL'Europe se réarme, le secteur de la défense se frotte les mainsDes atouts majeurs pour l'industrie automobileTrois raisons principales émergent pour expliquer ce rapprochement entre deux mondes que tout semble opposer. D'abord, le savoir-faire industriel : les constructeurs automobiles maîtrisent la production de masse, l'assemblage rapide et à bas coût. Ensuite, l'expertise technologique. Les ingénieurs spécialisés dans l'intelligence artificielle ou les systèmes embarqués peuvent transférer leurs compétences vers l'armement. Enfin, la pression économique. Confrontée à la baisse des commandes, à la flambée des coûts et à la concurrence étrangère, l'industrie européenne trouve dans la défense un nouveau relais de croissance.À lire aussiFrance : comment financer les dépenses militaires ?Vers un nouveau complexe industrialo-militaire européenTransformer une usine de voitures en site de production militaire ne va pourtant pas de soi. Les normes de défense imposent des ajustements majeurs, notamment pour l'assemblage des équipements sensibles. Cependant, de nombreuses compétences – notamment en métallurgie – sont transférables. Cette réorientation s'inscrit dans un effort plus large de souveraineté industrielle européenne, porté par un soutien massif des institutions. La Commission européenne prévoit jusqu'à 800 milliards d'euros d'investissements dans la défense. De quoi encourager la naissance d'un nouveau complexe industrialo-militaire, plus agile, interconnecté, et résolument européen.

Season 6’s “Cutting the Cord” might include some iconic Karaoke scenes - but something still felt off for our hosts.

We can thank TECHNOLOGY for bringing us the Unnamed Automotive Podcast this week, but we can also BLAME it for making Sami's life difficult during his week-long test of the 2025 Volvo EX90 EV. With a huge battery, over 500-hp and plenty of driving range, the EX90 should be a slam dunk in the world of three-row EVs, but Sami shares the many frustrations he experienced while driving this vehicle. Most issues revolve around the infotainment system and a minimalist approach to controls, which makes usually easy tasks quite distracting. Then Benjamin shares his thoughts on the all-new, and finally available in the US, 2025 BMW M5 Touring (Wagon.) The big, plug-in hybrid, high-performance wagon shows it can be a bit of everything in one tidy package. Is that special enough? Why is Sami so over it already? The guys talk about their thoughts on this amazing BMW and figure out 'why now?" And finally, the hosts tackle some listener questions and comments about the Hyundai Santa Cruz, and the scary future of used car software. Thanks for listening!

Immer wieder tauchen Berichte über den Einsatz von Uiguren als Zwangsarbeiter in China auf. Neue Recherchen des SPIEGEL zeigen nun das tatsächliche Ausmaß: Uiguren werden systematisch aus ihrer Heimatprovinz Xinjiang in andere Landesteile gebracht, wo sie unter teils prekären Bedingungen arbeiten müssen. Den Betroffenen drohen willkürliche Inhaftierungen, sie stehen unter ständiger Überwachung und sind oftmals in Wohnheimen untergebracht, die sie kaum verlassen dürfen. In der aktuellen Folge des SPIEGEL-Podcasts »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Christoph Giesen, SPIEGEL-Korrespondent in Peking. In einer langwierigen Recherche in Kooperation mit der »New York Times« und dem Londoner »The Bureau of Investigative Journalism« fanden Giesen und seine Kollegen 75 Werke in elf Provinzen, in denen Angehörige der muslimischen Minderheit arbeiten müssen.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1061: China's rare earth restrictions are causing real pain for Europe's automakers, Costco's gas game and checkout tech are stepping up, and American shoppers are oddly calm about rising tariffs—at least for now.Show Notes with links:China's tightened grip on rare earth exports is starting to squeeze Europe's auto manufacturing sector. With critical materials stuck in red tape and only a quarter of export licenses approved, major OEMs and suppliers are bracing for broader production halts in the coming weeks.CLEPA, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, says hundreds of export license requests were submitted, but only 25% approved since April.Parts plant shutdowns are already affecting suppliers to VW, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Bosch.The slowdown stems from China's April decision to suspend exports of rare earths and magnets amid a trade standoff with the U.S.Delays in customs clearance and license processing are compounding the issue, say VDA (the German Automotive Industry Association) and CLEPA.China may ease restrictions for certain European semiconductor firms, but auto remains at risk.“Production delays and even production outages can no longer be ruled out,” said VDA President Hildegard Mueller.America's third-largest retailer is leaning into its members-first model. Costco is expanding hours at gas stations, testing scan-and-go checkout tech, and adding flexible payment options to stay competitive in a tightening retail race.Gas stations now open nationwide until 10 p.m., with select sites opening earlier too.CEO Rob Vachris says the goal is to drive more foot—and fuel—traffic by boosting convenience.Gas accounted for 12% of Costco's total sales in 2024, thanks to exclusive member access and competitive prices.“Scan & Pay” via smartphone is being piloted to streamline checkout, competing with Sam's Club's tech-forward edge.Costco has also teamed with Affirm for monthly payment plans as shoppers look beyond credit cards.A new survey by Modern Retail highlights that while many Americans are concerned about rising costs and tariffs, their spending behavior has yet to shift significantly.76% of surveyed consumers said they were familiar with recent tariffs; over half believe tariffs increase prices for everyday goods.Despite that concern, 40% reported no notable changes in their purchasing habits.A majority of respondents said they were either delaying planned purchases due to higher prices or had already bought items early to avoid anticipated tariff-related cost increases.Electronics and clothing were identified as the most likely categories to see reduced spending.Over half of respondents expressed optimism about their financial outlook for the next six months.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Hello dearest ear-owners and welcome to Front End Chatter, source of the most significant soundwaves in British motorcycling since the feral howl of a raging Norton rotary haunted the quiet coastal village of Kirk Michael, or since the words "Go on then, I'll 'ave it" slipped breathlessly from the lips of a Derbyshire-born property developer attending the auction of a defunct motorcycle factory. In this aural delight of an episode, Simon and Mufga regale themselves with a recap of the spectacularly special Highland Fling tours (so good they did them twice), along with: • Loadsa goss about Triumph's Tiger Sport 800 and BMW's R1300GS Adventure having covered 3000 miles apiece • Why MotoGP might be getting interesting again, and why the TT continues to fascinate every corner of the country for more than a century • The forced-induction fabulousness that was the Bennetts Supercharged Showdown, where 50-plus Kawasaki H2 owners took over an empty runway • Simon gets a taste of Ducati's £16,000 Streetfighter V2S • Martin gets a taste of Voge's £6,000(ish) DS625X • The latest facts, news, rumours and baseless speculation regarding Bajaj's takeover of KTM, and what it might mean for the future • FECsack correspondence covering classic sports-tourers for young riders, the dubious bargains of Facebook Marketplace, how media gets hold of the bikes they test, bikes with undeserved reputations, the best British five-day biking tour, and more… Thank you, one and all, for continuing to allow us to tickle your tympanic membranes - and enormously gigantical appreciations to Bennetts, Britain's best bike insurers. Be sure to get a quote direct from Bennetts the next time you need motorcycle insurance, and be even more sure to check out bikesocial.co.uk for all the best bike news and product reviews on the interwebs.

SYNOPSIS:David is feeling good about the night before in the laundromat and even tells Agnes that he finally has Maddie “in a relationship.” He is unaware that Maddie has left Los Angeles and is now at her parents' home in Chicago. Donald Chase arrives and wants to hire Blue Moon to locate a woman whom he met at a charity event. He doesn't know her name; he only has one of her valuable earrings and reports that she has a beauty mark on her face. Maddie's parents are immediately suspicious, given that she has turned up unannounced at their home and is not being forthcoming about the duration of her stay. David and Bert begin to investigate the Chase case and track down the woman he's looking for in a department store. Melissa reveals to them that she is on the run from her very dangerous husband and believes that David and Bert are out to kill her. Because Maddie has disappeared and the case reflects his dilemma, David becomes enraged and smashes Maddie's BMW in the underground garage. This episode includes another fantasy sequence, in which Maddie and David are depicted in Claymation.GUEST STARS:Eva Marie SaintRobert WebberKay LenzJohn GoodmanMOONLIGHTING THE TV SHOWThe show is all about the hit TV Show Moonlighting which aired from 1985 to 1989 starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.Grace Chivell and Shawna Saari take a look at each episode in chronological order from the Pilot to the end of the fifth and final season.They discuss the direction, the production, the outfits, the lighting, the car chases, and the tumultuous relationship between Maddie Hayes and David Addison.FOR MORE INFORMATION:https://moonlightingthepodcast.comMOONLIGHTING COMMUNITY:Facebook Group:Facebook Page:Instagram Twitter/XPURCHASE:Moonlighting: An Episode Guide Bookon TuckerDSPressOR on Amazon:Moonlighting MerchandiseYouTube Channel Learn more about Grace here:Learn more about Shawna here:Donate at Ko-fi.comPersonal Instagram:https://instagram.com/grace_chivellhttps://instagram.com/saari_not.saari Hosted on Acast.

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presents STEVE THOMSON Steve Thomson, known as "Happy Life Wood," is a realism artist and sculptor who specializes in wood inlay, carving, and sculpting techniques to create lifelike objects. He does not use paints or stains in his work, instead sourcing exotic wood species to achieve natural color variations. His most notable pieces include three-dimensional wooden sculptures of sneakers and clothing, meticulously hand-crafted and carved with distinct textures to replicate fabric and other materials.After a 25+ year career in corporate marketing and graphic design, Thomson transitioned into woodworking. What began as a hobby evolved into a passion, and one day, he decided to repurpose wood scraps in his studio to create an image. After six months of experimentation, he completed his first portrait—a depiction of Kobe Bryant—which he sold to Bryant's former teammate and international basketball legend Pau Gasol. Since then, Thomson has sold and commissioned pieces for clients worldwide, including auctions with Sotheby's and Heritage. In the past year alone, videos showcasing his art have amassed nearly 150 million views across social media platforms. Notable owners of his work include Michael Jordan, A$AP Rocky, and Kevin Durant. He has also collaborated with Jordan Brand, BMW, the Chicago Bulls, and the Golden State Warriors. In 2024, Thomson designed and collaborated on a golf sneaker with Jordan Brand, which debuted during the Masters Tournament. Thomson's process is highly detailed and labor-intensive, with most pieces requiring hundreds of hours to complete. His work continues to evolve from his workshop and studio in Rochester, New York.Watch the documentary https://youtu.be/dRcr-pP-7JwINCHSTONES PLAYBOOKhttps://a.co/d/hil3nloSUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER⁠https://thevibebykellycardenas.substack.com?r=4nn6y5&utm_medium=ios⁠BUY THE VIBE BOOK ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/6tgAJ4c⁠⁠ BUY BLING ⁠⁠https://shop.kellycardenas.com/products/kelly-cardenas-salon-bling⁠⁠ THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE PLANEThttps://www.lulusmexicanfood.com/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - BROOKLYN CARDENAS ⁠⁠https://www.brooklyncardenas.com/⁠⁠
