Born into the GM world through his family's dealership, Leonard Boschman grew up with gasoline in his veins and a front‑row seat to the kind of cars that spark lifelong obsession. In this episode, he shares the story of the very first car he ever bought, the small‑town Canadian life he still calls home, and the surprising cost differences he and Matt compare between Canada and the U.S.Leonard opens up about the '71 Chevelle that slipped through his fingers, the moment he fell headfirst into rat rod culture, and the ever‑changing lineup of favorites in his fleet—each one chosen depending on the kind of day he wants to have. From past builds that earned trophies and long‑haul “Furthest Driven” awards to the Chevy truck he's crafting for the High Class Trash Invitational, Leonard's approach is simple: build something he's never seen before, and build it in a way that brings joy not just to himself, but to everyone who sees it.This episode is a celebration of creativity, community, and the kind of builder who keeps hot‑rodding alive by doing it his own way.Keep up with his build on Facebook and Instagram!

In Episode 96 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich continues his conversation with Scott Cox, Principal of SLC Advisors and a frequent contributor to The Builder's Daily, for a candid discussion on what is really driving builder stress right now. While margins may still look acceptable on paper, many private builders feel pressure building beneath the surface. The issue is not just today's closings, but higher-basis land in the pipeline, slower absorption, and the simple reality that time is expensive. Carter and Scott explore the difference between managing to a pro forma and managing to the market. They discuss why sales velocity often matters more than protecting the last point of margin, how to calculate the true monthly carrying cost of a community, and why that number alone can reshape pricing decisions. Scott also shares practical ways to protect backlog without losing momentum, how trapped cash impacts capital structure, and when it may be time to revisit product instead of relying only on incentives. In this episode, you'll learn: 1. Why margin concerns today are often rooted in tomorrow's land pipeline. 2. The dashboard metrics builders should be watching when absorption slows. 3. How to calculate the real monthly cost of being in a project. 4. How trapped cash impacts capital structure and future deal flow. 5. When protecting backlog makes sense and when it becomes counterproductive. 6. Why velocity protects more than revenue. 7. How to evaluate product utility against competitors in a practical way. 8. When it is time to revisit product instead of simply cutting price.

This episode brings Josh Krager of Eye Spy Designs into the studio for a deep dive into the decade-long rabbit hole that pulled him into the rat rod world. Josh traces it all back to one motorcycle—the machine that lit the fuse and set off an obsession that's still burning strong. From there, he talks about the dream build that's lived in his head for years: crafting a motorcycle made entirely from non‑motorcycle parts, a true testament to creativity over convention.Josh breaks down the best build to ever roll out of his shop, then takes us inside his long‑game project for the High Class Trash Invitational—years of collecting parts, the history baked into the body, and the future he sees for it once it finally hits the pavement.We get into the road trip that left a lasting impression: a run to the Lone Star Round Up that ended with Josh unexpectedly taking home Best in Show at a bike event. From there, the conversation shifts to the art of staying different—how he and Matt push themselves to avoid repetition, keep ideas fresh, and build rides that stand apart in a crowded scene.They talk through the emotional rollercoaster of finishing a build, the all‑important “shake down” phase, and why having the right people in your corner—your hype crew, your believers—can make or break the journey. Josh also shares the origin story of Eye Spy Designs, a name and brand born from grit, vision, and a whole lot of late nights in the shop.This episode is all heart, hustle, and the kind of storytelling that keeps hot‑rodding alive.Check out what Josh is working on Facebook and Instagram!THANKS FOR LISTENING!LIKE, SHARE AND DOWNLOAD!www.hotrodhangout.com

Just real-world application from what we see every day. If you're ordering a barrel and aren't 100% sure on twist, this will save you time, money, and frustration.

This week's episode is a little different. Instead of a guest interview, Beth shares a field report from IBS 2026 in Orlando — breaking down what actually stood out on the show floor. From hidden products made visible, to gamified lead capture, to brands repositioning themselves around partnership instead of product, this episode unpacks the booth strategies that felt intentional and the ones that felt forgettable. The strongest brands weren't just showcasing products. They were designing for decision-making and building ROI directly into the experience. If trade shows are part of your 2026 strategy, this one's worth a listen.

On the 63rd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (co-founder and CEO, Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (General Partner, Greylock Partners) talk with Lev Gonick, Chief Information Officer at Arizona State University (ASU). ASU treats AI like a product and a platform: build internal capacity, run structured grant cycles to surface real workflows, and ship a “builder” that can support tens of thousands of users. Gonick also lays out why student agency matters, and why universities that wait for vendors risk becoming “nothing but vendor management.”Quick hits from Lev:On building an internal AI acceleration team: “We literally took, initially 20 and now it's 40 people dedicated from morning till night working on platform technology, security, compliance, tooling, building tools to support what we knew that needed to grow up to be, again, a low code, no code kind of environment.”On scaling demand through structured internal grants: “We thought there be, you know, 40 or 50 great ideas, you know, as we speak today. Now we're through through four full rounds of engagements. We have over 600 projects in-flight, right now.”On fixing the friction-filled student journey with AI: “Focus in on transforming the ways in which students have to navigate incredibly, difficult, friction-filled, journey. Applying for, getting into, having to do financial aid, landing in a dorm room, [solving] some of the back office through again tools that they're using in their consumer life.”Recent Book Recommendation: Capitalism: A Global History by Sven Beckert--Like what you hear?

Of all the industries AI will transform, Kira Radinsky believes chemistry and biology will change the most. Kira is the co-founder and CTO of Diagnostic Robotics, which uses AI to automate the administrative work that's crushing healthcare teams — so clinicians can actually focus on patients. She's also the co-founder of Mana.bio, where they're accelerating drug discovery by orders of magnitude.She'll tell you she's terrible in the lab. Not because she isn't brilliant, but because she can't pipette without killing the cells. So she's thrilled that thanks to her skills in data and AI she was able to realize her childhood dream of being a scientist: “I'm not trying to automate everything… Like when, when you say automate drug discovery, I'm not gonna discover everything. I just want to accelerate it, which comes back to my childhood dream: I just didn't want to do it myself. I just want AI to replace me as a scientist. That's it.”But this episode is about more than healthcare. It's about how to build systems that get smarter over time — feedback loops, causal inference, incentivizing algorithms to take risks, and knowing when to optimize for ROI instead of accuracy. Lessons that apply whether you're building in biotech or not.We cover:How growing up Jewish in Soviet Ukraine — and fleeing to Israel just before the Gulf War — shaped Kira's obsession with predicting the futureHow she built a system that successfully predicted real-world events, including Cuba's first cholera outbreak in Cuba in 130 yearsHow Mana.bio is using AI to build "rocketships" that deliver drugs to the right cells — and how they've done in three months what used to take 20 yearsWhy predictions are only valuable if there's something you can do about them — and why that makes healthcare an ideal field for AI How to incentivize algorithms to make bolder predictions (it's easy to predict there won't be an earthquake today; it's much harder to say there will be)Why causal inference is the most underrated tool in machine learning right nowHow healthcare AI can perpetuate racial bias — and what builders need to do differentlyNote: this interview originally aired in October 2024.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Bill Flynn, CEO of Catalyst Growth Advisors, about what it really takes to build a business that thrives, not just survives. Bill shares a powerful story of stepping into leadership during a crisis, rebuilding a company after an infrastructure collapse, and creating a performance operating system that doubled the business in two years without losing a single team member. From hiring for values over skills to escaping the "hero trap," Bill breaks down the three pillars of sustainable growth: team, systems, and cash. The conversation also dives into navigating today's fast-changing BANI world, using AI as an accelerant instead of a crutch, and why the fundamentals of attracting customers haven't changed at all. Who is Bill Flynn? Bill Flynn is the CEO of Catalyst Growth Advisors, where he helps leaders take the guesswork out of growth. With 30 years of experience across ten startups, multiple acquisitions, two IPOs, and a major turnaround during the 2008 financial crisis, Bill now coaches leaders on how to build thriving, scalable businesses. He is the author of Further, Faster – The Vital Few Steps that Take the Guesswork out of Growth and specializes in helping CEOs fire themselves from the day-to-day so they can focus on building systems that scale.

Are you tired of constantly striving, feeling 'soul tired' and exhausted by the demands of life? Our new series, "Greater Than," dives into the powerful book of Hebrews to show you that everything you've been chasing is a lesser substitute for the one thing that can truly hold your life together: Jesus. In the first two weeks, we explore why Jesus is greater than the prophets, who only delivered fragments of God's message, and why He is greater than Moses and the Law of "work to get rest." Discover the key to stopping the drift, receiving "soul rest," and living a life anchored in the truth that the Builder of the Universe has already finished the work for your salvation.

Builder confidence in the single-family housing market slipped again in February, according to the latest Housing Market Index from the National Association of Home Builders. The index fell to 36, marking the second straight monthly decline and signaling continued weakness in builder sentiment. Affordability remains the biggest challenge. High home price-to-income ratios, elevated land costs, and stubborn construction expenses are keeping many buyers on the sidelines. Even with incentives widely available, buyer traffic remains low. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what falling builder confidence means for housing supply, pricing power, remodeling demand, and real estate investors in 2026. If inflation eases and mortgage rates follow, conditions could improve — but for now, affordability continues to shape the market.
God has not run out of mercy — not for you, not today.Saturday, Feb 21 — Psalm 127 (five verses… and it swings a sledgehammer).This is the line that ends the illusion of control:“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” Translation: Busy doesn't equal blessed. Sweat isn't the same as significance.Psalm 127 confronts three things we keep trying to carry alone:Building: If God isn't the Builder, your “success” is a sandcastle.Protecting: If God isn't the Watchman, your anxiety is wasted effort.Providing: Stop eating the bread of anxious toil — God gives His beloved sleep.And then it turns straight to the home: Children aren't a burden — they're a heritage. But an arrow isn't dangerous on a table. An arrow is dangerous in the hand of a warrior. Parents: don't just raise happy kids. Raise kids the enemy fears.Today's question is simple and piercing: Is the Lord building your life… or are you? Put God in it all — because if He's not in it, no amount of work can make it matter.

In Episode 95 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich sits down with Scott Cox, Principal of SLC Advisors and a frequent contributor to The Builder's Daily, for a candid discussion on what is really driving builder stress right now. While margins may still look acceptable on paper, many private builders feel pressure building beneath the surface. The issue is not just today's closings, but higher-basis land in the pipeline, slower absorption, and the simple reality that time is expensive. Carter and Scott explore the difference between managing to a pro forma and managing to the market. They discuss why sales velocity often matters more than protecting the last point of margin, how to calculate the true monthly carrying cost of a community, and why that number alone can reshape pricing decisions. Scott also shares practical ways to protect backlog without losing momentum, how trapped cash impacts capital structure, and when it may be time to revisit product instead of relying only on incentives. In this episode, you'll learn: 1. Why margin concerns today are often rooted in tomorrow's land pipeline. 2. The dashboard metrics builders should be watching when absorption slows. 3. How to calculate the real monthly cost of being in a project. 4. How trapped cash impacts capital structure and future deal flow. 5. When protecting backlog makes sense and when it becomes counterproductive. 6. Why velocity protects more than revenue. 7. How to evaluate product utility against competitors in a practical way. 8. When it is time to revisit product instead of simply cutting price.
