Send us Fan MailBroken Arrow is no longer “a big US race” and Sunapee is no longer “just a championship weekend.” These two stops are starting to feel like proof that trail running and mountain running in North America has entered a new era: deeper fields, smarter tactics, better coverage, and performances that hold up on the world stage.We sit down together to unpack what we saw across the US Mountain Running Championships at Sunapee and the Broken Arrow Skyrace festival, from pacing strategy on runnable early miles to the chaos of steep ski-hill starts at altitude. We talk about why these courses demand real planning, how athletes can make huge moves after the opening climb, and why knowing the terrain can be as valuable as fitness. Along the way, we dig into the “don't believe elites when they say they are injured” phenomenon and how cross-training like skiing and biking can still produce world-class race days.We also nerd out on what great storytelling looks like for the sport, including Broken Arrow's next-level live stream and the tech behind it, plus how commentary can help fans understand what is happening in real time. Then we get into the results and the human stories: breakthrough performances, veteran longevity, and comeback wins that make you want to lace up your shoes immediately.If you care about trail running results, mountain running tactics, the Golden Trail Series ecosystem, or where the US scene is headed next, hit play.

Okay we really only talked about Western States but so what?! We talked about the conditions, interesting dynamics in the field this year, tips for crews and runners, and everything else! We also got on a soap box about how talented pro runners are. See you at States!!!!

Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about mountain running by talking to someone who didn't grow up logging endless run miles. Marshall Graybill comes to the sport through cycling and ski mountaineering, with all the fitness those sports build and all the baggage they can bring, too. We get honest about what it feels like to line up for a race after crashes and concussions, how fear shows up in specific scenarios, and why trail running can feel like a mental reset compared to crit racing chaos. Marshall also lives a double life that a lot of driven athletes will recognize: he's deep into a PhD focused on underwater robotics, studying alternative propulsion inspired by marine organisms. That time pressure forces a different training mindset, and we talk about how to stay competitive with shorter, harder sessions, how to avoid the Strava comparison trap, and how to pick races that fit real life. If you're chasing endurance performance with limited hours, this one is packed with relatable strategy. We also swap stories from skimo culture in Colorado, the intensity of local “world cup” style races, and the frustrating reality of canceled events and narrow qualification paths now that skimo is an Olympic sport. Then we jump to Marshall's surprise 25K win at the Waterville Trail Running Festival in Ireland, where navigation, farm crossings, and under-flagged trails turn a race into a problem-solving mission. We wrap with Broken Arrow plans, pacing lessons at altitude, and why the community keeps bringing him back. If you enjoy conversations on trail running, mountain running, skimo training, altitude racing, and balancing sport with a demanding career, subscribe, share this with a training partner, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Follow Marshall on IG - @marshallgraybillUse code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Western States season has arrived.This week, Hilary Yang and Leah Yingling sit down for a candid catch-up ahead of one of the biggest stretches on the trail running calendar. They talk about Hilary's pregnancy journey, Leah's life balancing training and motherhood, and the realities of staying connected to the sport through changing seasons of life.The conversation also dives into Broken Arrow, TrailCon, Western States, and the athletes they're most excited to watch over the coming weeks. Along the way, they share stories from recent races, discuss parenting while pursuing big goals, and reflect on the community that makes trail running special.In this episode:Hilary's experience navigating pregnancy while remaining deeply involved in the sportLeah's recent racing, pacing, and crewing adventures with the Utah trail communityWhat makes the Broken Arrow Triple Crown such a unique challengeThe stacked fields and growing prize money at Broken ArrowBehind the scenes of TrailCon and Western States weekWhy community remains at the heart of trail runningAthletes and storylines to watch heading into Western StatesThis episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our sponsor ⁠⁠Precision Fuel & Hydration⁠⁠.

Dry mouth and drooling can both happen in Parkinson's disease—and surprisingly, they're often connected. By the way, Biotene rinse can be a great tool to use with dry mouth. Here is a link to Biotene on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4tuKAoj In this episode (watch here on YouTube), we break down why saliva problems occur in Parkinson's, how they affect speech, swallowing, comfort, and confidence, and why oral health matters far more than most people realize. We cover: • Dry mouth vs. drooling in Parkinson's • Why both problems can happen at the same time • How saliva issues affect communication and swallowing • Oral bacteria, dental health, and aspiration risk • Why oral care is so important in Parkinson's • Practical strategies to help manage these symptoms safely We also explain the important connection between oral health and aspiration pneumonia risk, one of the most serious complications associated with swallowing difficulties. If you or someone you care about is dealing with drooling, dry mouth, coughing during meals, or frequent throat clearing, this episode will help connect the dots and provide practical next steps.  

Send us Fan MailBroken Arrow isn't just another race weekend anymore, it's the point in the season where trail running feels like it snaps into full focus. Steve Taylor joins me to talk through why this stop has exploded into a true international destination in North America, how the venue and spectator access change the vibe, and why the growing prize purse keeps pulling the fastest names into one start list. If you're tracking the road from Broken Arrow to Western States, Hardrock, and UTMB, this is the moment where storylines start to lock in.We zoom in on the Broken Arrow Ascent and get specific about what makes this course weirdly brutal: the full-gas ski hill start, the fast road and singletrack sections that reward speed strength, and the reality that a “vertical” can still punish you for racing like it's a 3-minute effort. We talk pacing, tactics, and why this format can favor athletes with big VO2 engines, while still demanding legit climbing legs once the lactic hits and the finish gets close.Then we get into the fun debate: is this the race of the roadies, or do mountain specialists still own the day? We dig into the crossover trend, what it does for the sport's visibility, and why trail running remains a skill even on runnable terrain. From the stacked women's matchup to the men's field depth and our podium picks, you'll walk away with clear names to watch and a sharper sense of how the Ascent is likely to unfold.

Send us Fan Mail$102,200 on the line, a Nike livestream, staggered elite starts, and a start list so deep we joke we'd need a hundred pre-race interviews to cover it. Broken Arrow 23K is lining up like a mini all-star event for trail running and mountain running, and we're here to call the shots before the gun goes off.We dig into why this prize purse matters and why we want payouts like this to become the benchmark for marquee races that draw international talent. Then we get practical: 14.25 miles, about 4,500 feet of climbing, a lot of fast running, and the late-race terrain where things can finally get spicy. We also talk broadcast and logistics, including the staggered starts for elite women and men and what that means for how the race unfolds and how you should watch it.From there, it's pure storyline season. On the women's side we're fired up about Ninka Brinkman's return, McKenna Morley's step up into a brutally stacked field, and the long list of podium-level threats who could turn this into a total coin flip. On the men's side we look at the tacticians and the burners, what happened last year, and why Elhousine Elazzaoui, Patrick Kipngeno, and a rising American contingent make the tactics just as interesting as the fitness. Finally, we lock in our top-five picks for both races and explain exactly what would have to happen for our calls to be right.If you're watching Broken Arrow 23K live, listen first, make your own picks, and come back to tell us what we got wrong.

Send us Fan MailTwo loops can turn a fast mountain race into a straight up psychological experiment. Broken Arrow 46K is the perfect example: you rip a demanding first lap, punish your quads on the descent, and then get asked to climb back into the pain cave all over again. We're back with Steve Taylor to preview how this ultramarathon-style trail race really plays out when pacing mistakes start compounding and the second loop becomes the only thing that matters.We dig into the stakes, including the prize money, and then get specific on the men's field: why Eli Hemming looks like the clear favorite, what it would take for someone like Chad Hall to actually break him, and how racers like Noel Williams, Brian Whitfield, and Cole Campbell fit into the front pack math. We also go deep on sleepers and high-variance names, from Jared Hazen's upside to under-the-radar threats like Matt Chorney, Matt Zupan, Mikey Mitchell, and Nicholas Turko. If you like race strategy, we talk through where separation is likely to happen and why this course rewards patience more than ego.Then we shift to what might be the main event: the women's race. We make the case that the women's field is deeper, talk Rachel Drake's form, Dani Moreno's toughness coming off injury, and why Jasmine Louther and Leah Yingling make the triple crown storyline so interesting. We also debate whether the women can dip under last year's winning time and what kind of day it takes to earn a podium at Broken Arrow 46K.Subscribe for more race previews, share this with a friend who's lining up at Broken Arrow, and leave a review if you want more picks, more sleepers, and more honest takes.

Send us Fan MailIn episode #188 we spoke with NR athlete Dani Moreno as she goes into her first race post-surgery out at Broken Arrow Sky Race 46k. Dani shares her journey through injury recovery and optimization strategies, and what she is doing leading up to race day.KEY TOPICSDani's journey through her first major injury and recoveryMental resilience strategies during injury recovery.Nutritional strategies and key supplements for healing.Importance of comprehensive blood work for athletes.Training and race preparation insights from Dani.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT DANI MORENO:Dani Moreno is a professional trail runner galloping and residing in the Eastern Sierra mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, California. She moved to the mountains at the end of 2020 from the coastal town of Santa Barbara, where she lived for a decade, having graduated from the University of Santa Barbara, California.While at UCSB, she competed for the women's Cross Country and Track and Field programs and produced times that made her competitive on both the conference and national level. After college, she took a break from running to rediscover herself, leaning into outdoor guiding and things like climbing, spearfishing, motorcycle riding and other outdoor activities that pushed her to her physiological limits. During this phase of life, she found nothing gave her quite the same satisfaction running did. She began dabbling in trail running, which reignited her passion, and soon she was exploring the Los Padres National Forest's front range on her off days. Trail running immediately appealed to all aspects of her personality in a way that no other type of running had before. As she began to race trails, new opportunities arose and doors opened. She began traveling all over the United States and the world, feeling gratitude the whole way. That feeling hasn't stopped since 2016, and since her debut to the sport, she has exploded on the sub-ultra and ultra scene, with an incredible number of podium and top 10 finishes, including being the top American at UTMB's World Championship OCC race in Chamonix in August 2024, a top 5 finish at the 2024 Broken Arrow Skyrace 26k, 1st at Canyons Endurance Race, 1st at Kodiak Ultra Marathon 50k in 2023, 2nd at Mammoth Trailfest 26k in 2023, and many others. FREE RESOURCES:NR Recovery Protocol: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution.com/recovery-protocolCarb Loading Guide: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution/free-carb-loading-guideFOLLOW DANI MORENO:IG: www.instagram.com/dan_yell_aSee Dani at TrailCon: https://trailconference.com/2026-schedule/SubHub Podcast: https://www.dani-moreno.com/the-sub-hubMENTIONED:NeverSecond C30 Drink Mix: https://amzn.to/4enkKgkFairlife Protein Shakes: https://amzn.to/4enkKgkThorne Vitamin D and K2: https://nutritional-revolution.com/product/thorne-vitamin-d-k2-liquid/Beta-Alanine: https://nutritional-revolution.com/product/thorne-beta-alanine/Higher Dose PEMF: https://go.shopmy.us/p-65149034Omni PEMF Ring: https://go.shopmy.us/p-65149244Supplements 20% off on Fullscript: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannellThorne Vitamin CProbioticsIronCollagenCalciumFish OilTIMESTAMPS:1:01 - Introduction to Dani Moreno3:19 - Dani's Injury Journey5:54 - Mental Resilience During Recovery9:10 - Nutritional Strategies for Healing11:22 - Importance of Blood Work16:22 - Training and Race Preparation38:04 - Innovative Recovery Tools29:14 - Upcoming Races and Goals45:18 - Community and Support SystemsMORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → kyla.c@nutritional-revolution.comInterested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale discuss the Broken Arrow Massacre. In 2015, five members of the Bever family were killed in their home in Broken Arrow Oklahoma by the two oldest sons in the family. They planned the murders for a year. After killing their family, they wanted to travel around the country and commit mass murders and record their killings so they would have a Wikipedia page written about them.  https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ https://linktr.ee/crackhousechronicles https://www.tiktok.com/@crackhousechronicles https://www.facebook.com/crackhousechronicles Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Arrow_murders https://www.wbaltv.com/article/teen-found-guilty-of-stabbing-parents-siblings-141-times-with-brothers-help/20659107 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11222870/ https://grokipedia.com/page/Broken_Arrow_murders

Send us Fan MailSomeone finally closes the gap on you mid-race. You don't know if it's one runner or the whole field. Your legs are fading on a rocky climb, the descents are muddy and technical, and every choice feels expensive. That's the moment where champions either tighten up or stay clear headed. We talk with 2026 U.S. Mountain Running Champion Maya Rayle just days after her win to find out what she told herself, what she did tactically, and why she never let the race turn into a panic spiral. We break down the Sunapee course in practical trail running terms: how she handled an aggressive start, where she felt strongest, and why the descents were actually the highlight. Maya shares what it looked like when Elisa caught her, how she managed the pass without giving up contact, and how subtle terrain changes like trail sections, fire roads, and long downhills shape pacing in mountain running. If you care about race strategy, downhill running technique, and staying composed under pressure, this recap delivers real, usable lessons. Training talk gets equally honest. Maya explains being self-coached, balancing preparation with field ecology research in remote Montana, and using winter backcountry skiing and Nordic skiing to build aerobic volume without forcing a rigid weekly mileage plan. We also dig into Missoula's low-key but highly athletic culture, the value of supportive training partners, and how she's thinking about the transition to Broken Arrow and representing Team USA in Canada. If this conversation helps you rethink your own trail running training or race mindset, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailOne wrong turn can end your day, or it can reveal what you're made of. Right after the U.S. Mountain Running Championships, we link up with Ares Reading in the airport for a quick, honest debrief on how he ran himself into fourth place and onto Team USA, right behind names like Christian Allen, Dan Curts, and Mason Coppi.We walk the race from the opening climb to the moment Ares, Mason, and Christian all followed the wrong markers into the woods, and the split-second mental scramble that followed. Ares explains how he settled back in, where he regained ground, and why the technical downhills are still the biggest separator for him. If you care about mountain running, trail racing tactics, and what actually changes performance week to week, this conversation gets specific fast.We also dig into training with coach Matt Daniels, including fatigue resistance sessions, long hill reps, and a hill ladder workout designed to simulate pushing hard on tired legs. Ares shares how getting dropped on technical descents at Canyons flipped a switch, why he's leaning into more technical downhill practice, and what he's most excited about next at Broken Arrow and beyond, with international goals on the horizon.If you're chasing your own breakthrough, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a trail friend, and leave a review so more runners can find the show.Follow Ares on IG - @ares_readingUse code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Send us Fan MailThe fastest races can be the most revealing, especially when they're your first start back after injury. We sit down with a Quebec-based Brooks athlete ahead of the Sunapee Scramble to talk about what it really feels like to open a season in June, how to race without a perfect taper, and why “no pressure” still turns into a hard charge once the gun goes off. If you love trail running, mountain running, and the messy reality of rebuilding fitness, this one is packed with practical detail. We break down the Sunapee Scramble course like racers do: a two-loop format, a brutally steep first climb, and the kind of conditions where mud can erase even the best plans. You'll hear how packs form early, why staying connected without leading can be a winning move, and how power hiking habits can help or hurt depending on grade and terrain. We also get into gear decisions for wet trails, including shoe options, traction, and the reality that sometimes the course is slick no matter what you wear. Then we zoom out to the bigger season. Broken Arrow brings altitude concerns, confidence questions, and a reminder that mindset matters as much as physiology when you're climbing near 3,000 meters. We talk scheduling, world championship goals, and training sessions that actually translate to steep trail performance: sustained threshold climb efforts, smart downhill work for eccentric strength, and pacing choices that keep you racing strong late.

Send us Fan MailTwo loops can mess with your head in a way a single climb never will, and Mount Sunapee is the perfect example. We sit down with Courtney Coppinger to get specific about what wins a mountain classic style race: how hard to push the first climb, where the real separation happens on lap two, and why the steep grass start is the fastest way to ruin your day if you get greedy. If you love mountain running, trail racing, and short high-intensity climbs with technical descents, this one is pure gold. Courtney walks us through the training that matches the course, especially the underrated skill of descending hard and then turning around to climb again. We talk race-simulation workouts, effort control, and the mindset shift of racing like an underdog even when people expect you to be up front. We also get into footwear strategy for Mount Sunapee, including why low-to-the-ground trail shoes with serious lugs matter when the downhill gets fast and messy. Then we zoom out to the bigger scene: Courtney's breakout spring in China, what she learned from WMRA World Cup racing, and what it is like serving on the WMRA athletes commission with topics like environmental impact and the complicated path toward Olympic recognition. Finally, she lays out a packed summer that includes Broken Arrow, TrailCon, a first skyrace in Peru, ETC during UTMB week, and a bold plan for the Golden Trail finals. If you enjoy deep race strategy and practical mountain running training advice, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves steep trails, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailTwo loops can turn a “simple” mountain race into a full blown tactics problem, especially when the second lap gets more technical and the weather hints at mud. We're joined by Taylor Peavey ahead of the US Mountain Running Championships to talk through the nerves and excitement of stepping into her first true mountain classic and why that unknown is exactly what makes it worth chasing. We get into real race strategy: how measured pacing on loop one can still keep you in position, where moves tend to happen once the course steepens up, and how to stay open minded while racing against a deep field. Taylor also shares how she thinks about course previewing, arriving a couple days early, and handling East Coast style trails that have a reputation for being slick and unforgiving. Footwear talk gets specific, because on a rainy championship day your shoe choice is part of your plan. Taylor compares what she's liked in the Nike ACG Ultrafly and why she's considering a lower profile option like the Nike Kiger for better control on steep descents. We also zoom out to the season, from Broken Arrow to Sierre Zinal, and what a Team USA opportunity and racing in Canada could mean for building experience ahead of bigger world team goals. If you're into mountain running, trail racing tactics, technical descending, and the training mindset that holds up when the race gets chaotic, hit play.

Swallowing changes are one of the most overlooked—and most important—symptoms in Parkinson's disease. In this episode (see on YouTube), we break down how swallowing works, how Parkinson's can interfere with it, and the signs that may point to dysphagia (swallowing difficulty). We cover:  • The normal phases of swallowing • How Parkinson's affects swallowing function • Common signs of dysphagia • Why liquids are often the hardest thing to swallow • What people should *not* try on their own • Why a proper swallowing evaluation matters We also explain the difference between a **Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS)** and **FEES** (Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing), when each is used, and why it's important not to make changes—especially thickening liquids—without professional guidance. If swallowing has become more difficult, more frustrating, or more concerning, this episode will help you understand what's happening and what to do next. —

Send us Fan MailHe flew across the world, navigated a high-stakes visa process, got sick right before travel, and still walked away with a breakthrough weekend. We're back with mountain running standout Kieran Nay, fresh off the WMRA World Cup in China, where he delivers a top 15 in the uphill and a top 10 in the Mountain Classic, including the surreal experience of racing on the Great Wall.We talk through what WMRA events feel like on the ground: the organization, the media presence, and why Kieran values the series' anti-doping focus. From there, we zoom out into the bigger trail running conversation: WMRA vs Golden Trail vs skyrunning, the push and pull between private series and federations, and whether the sport should ever try to unify under one umbrella. Along the way, Kieran shares what it's like standing out in a new culture, troubleshooting payments with WeChat, and seeing how sport can cut through the easy narratives we tell about other countries.Then we get practical. Kieran breaks down pacing, heart rate, and decision-making for steep VK-style efforts, plus what changed for him on technical downhills in the Mountain Classic. We dig into training in Gunnison, grade specificity, heat prep, and the mental shift that helps him race with curiosity instead of pressure. We also hit altitude tools, respiratory muscle training, and his interest in experimenting with bicarb and other marginal gains as the season ramps toward Broken Arrow, SeirSandal, Grand Traverse, and the Pikes Peak Marathon.If you enjoy deep, honest conversations about mountain running performance and the life behind the results, subscribe, share this with a running friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Follow Kieran on IG - @kieran_nayPhoto Credit - WMRA Use code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

In this first episode covering communication and speech changes in Parkinson's Disease, we break down why communication changes happen in Parkinson's—and what's really going on beneath the surface. We cover: -Changes in speech and voice (reduced volume, clarity, and changes in speaking rate) -Word-finding and sentence formulation difficulties -Nonverbal communication (facial masking, reduced gestures, posture) -Cognitive-communication changes (slowed thinking, attention, planning what to say) -The impact of mood and motivation (anxiety, depression, confidence in social situations) -Understanding these changes is the first step toward improving communication and staying connected.

In this episode (watch on YouTube), we take a closer look at Buntanetap, an investigational therapy that is gaining attention for its potential to target the underlying biology of Parkinson's disease—not just the symptoms. Unlike traditional treatments that focus on dopamine replacement, Buntanetap works upstream by regulating the production of proteins like alpha-synuclein, which are believed to play a central role in neurodegeneration. This represents a fundamentally different approach that could, in theory, slow disease progression. We'll break down: -How Buntanetap works at the cellular level -Why targeting protein production may matter -What early clinical trial data suggests -How it compares to other emerging therapies -What patients and clinicians should realistically take away right now While early findings are promising, it's important to emphasize that Buntanetap is still under investigation and not yet approved for clinical use. As with many emerging therapies in Parkinson's disease, cautious optimism is key. If you're interested in the future of Parkinson's treatment and how research is evolving beyond dopamine, this is a conversation worth understanding.

The CopDoc Podcast - Season 9 - Episode 168What does it take to go from a dirt road in Northeast Texas to leading one of the most progressive police departments in the country?In this episode of The CopDoc Podcast, Dr. Steve Morreale sits down with Dr. Lance Arnold, Chief of Police in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Lance calls his journey "dirt road to doctorate," and that phrase captures something essential about who he is: a leader who never lost sight of where he came from, even as his thinking about leadership grew more sophisticated, more deliberate, and more people-centered with every passing year.Lance spent 20 years at the Norman, Oklahoma Police Department before taking his first chief's job in Weatherford, Texas, and then moving to Broken Arrow. Along the way, he earned an Ed.D. in organizational leadership and built systems for developing leaders from the inside out. He arrived at a deceptively simple conviction: the job of a leader is to create conditions for people to flourish. Not just survive. Not just get to retirement unbroken. Flourish.This conversation is one of the most substantive explorations of police leadership development you will find anywhere. Lance and Steve dig into why leadership training rarely sticks when the culture does not change around it, why most supervisors manage fires instead of preventing them, and why "we tried that in 1995, and it didn't work" may be the most dangerous sentence in policing. Lance is direct about his own early failures, honest about what it took to grow, and clear-eyed about the gap between what most agencies say they value and what they actually build systems to support.If you are a leader at any level who has ever felt like you were swimming against the tide, this one is for you.Hey there!

On today’s podcast, I'm talking with Mike Payne, owner of Hill Manufacturing and Fabrication in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to peek inside the mind of a prolific acquirer of manufacturing companies. Before purchasing Hill in 2018, Mike spent 20 years in M&A, orchestrating over 100 deals across nearly every industry. Since then, Mike has acquired four machine shops, and he’s constantly scouting for more opportunities to expand. What struck me about Mike isn’t just his deal-making successes – it’s his genuine passion for manufacturing. While some people get caught up in the game of acquisition deals, Mike seems to remain committed to his stated purpose, making quality parts and building lasting companies. *********** Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.      View the podcast at the bottom of this post or on our YouTube Channel Follow us on Social and never miss an update! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swarfcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swarfcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/todays-machining-world Twitter: https://twitter.com/tmwswarfblog ************* Link to Graff-Pinkert's Acquisitions and Sales promotion! ************* Main Points Working in the M&A Industry Mike Payne’s career began in the mid-1990s when he graduated from the University of Tulsa with a computer science degree. He started a software company specializing in shop floor data collection, working with manufacturers during the era when Walmart was pushing barcode implementation. This early exposure to manufacturing sparked his interest in seeing how things were made, from tires to fishing reels. After successfully growing and selling his software company in 2003, Payne transitioned into private equity, where he spent 15 years buying companies across various industries. What set him apart in the M&A space was his approach: rather than just completing deals and moving on, he would typically take board positions or operational roles in the acquired companies to ensure their success. He completed over 100 deals during this period, attributing some of his success to being an outsider who asked “dumb questions” that often led to valuable insights. Purchasing Hill Manufacturing and Fabrication In 2018, Payne purchased Hill Manufacturing and Fabrication, a company he’d known for 30 years. The company, established in 1976, had become “tired” under an owner looking to sell, with minimal reinvestment in equipment and growth. Payne saw this as an opportunity to revitalize a solid business. Since his acquisition, the company has doubled in size through both organic growth and the acquisition of four additional shops. What distinguishes Payne’s approach to business is his complex motivation. While he openly acknowledges his desire to make money (“I’m a capitalist”), he emphasizes that his greater satisfaction comes from creating opportunities for others. At 51, he could coast or even retire, but he continues growing his business because he enjoys developing his team and seeing them succeed. He shares examples like watching a 27-year-old manager building his first home and starting a family. Payne also maintains strong relationships with the previous owners of companies he’s acquired. He shared a story about receiving a photo from a couple whose shop he bought in 2022. While he was at IMTS viewing the latest manufacturing technology, they sent him a picture from their retirement travels of an old lathe in an Arizona campground. This exemplified his goal of not just making profitable deals, but helping owners successfully transition into their next life phase. Philosophy of Business Growth The conversation also touched on the philosophy of business growth. While Payne acknowledges that maintaining a steady, non-growing business can be viable, he believes companies need to at least stay current with technology and market demands to avoid slow decline. He shared an example of a recent acquisition target that had gradually declined from $2 million to $1.2 million in annual revenue because they weren’t reinvesting or replacing lost customers. Throughout the interview, Payne’s enthusiasm for manufacturing shines through. He describes the satisfaction of seeing raw materials transformed into finished products and particularly enjoys giving shop tours to people unfamiliar with manufacturing, as their fascination helps him see the magic of manufacturing through fresh eyes. He compared this to hiking with his daughter, who helps him notice beautiful details he might otherwise miss in his rush to reach the destination. The discussion reveals Payne as someone who has successfully merged the analytical skills of a private equity investor with a genuine passion for manufacturing and people development, creating a business approach that values both profitability and purpose. Questions: If you were to acquire a manufacturing company, what would you be looking for? What would it take for you to sell your manufacturing company?
