In this episode of the Business Legacy Podcast, Paul Dio sits down with Jack Clark, founder of 180 Water, to discuss how he transformed a traditional water well service company into a rapidly growing franchise model focused on clean, reliable drinking water across rural America. Jack shares his journey from growing up on a Montana ranch to building a scalable business in one of the most overlooked essential industries in the country. What started as hands-on work in the water well industry evolved into a mission-driven company helping entrepreneurs build sustainable local businesses while modernizing an aging trade. Throughout the conversation, Jack breaks down the operational side of scaling a service business, the importance of systems and SOPs, and how innovation often comes from empowering independent operators closest to the work. From custom-built service trucks to simplifying installation processes, 180 Water is creating efficiencies in an industry that has historically resisted change. The episode also explores the deeper legacy angle behind skilled trades, mentorship, and preserving institutional knowledge before an entire generation of water well professionals retires. For entrepreneurs, this conversation is a reminder that some of the greatest opportunities still exist in underserved industries where reliability, relationships, and execution matter most.   Timestamps 00:01:08 – Introduction to Jack Clark and 180 Water 00:01:31 – How 180 Water Started 00:02:03 – Choosing Franchise Locations 00:02:49 – Jack's Background in the Water Well Industry 00:05:45 – Why the Franchise Model Works 00:06:06 – Building SOPs and Scalable Processes 00:08:04 – The Importance of Trusting Your Gut in Business 00:08:54 – The Most Rewarding Part of Building 180 Water 00:10:07 – Franchise-Driven Innovation and Product Development 00:11:34 – Challenges Facing the Water Well Industry 00:13:08 – What Jack Is Most Excited About Moving Forward 00:13:45 – How to Learn More About 180 Water   Episode Resources Learn how Jack and the team at 180 Water are modernizing the water well industry through scalable systems, skilled trades, and franchise-driven innovation: https://180waterfranchising.com Legacy Podcast: For more information about the Legacy Podcast and its co-hosts, visit https://businesslegacypodcast.com Leave a Review: If you enjoyed the episode, leave a review and rating on your preferred podcast platform.

We’re exploring caregiving and aging in a series we’re calling Caregiving in Connecticut. You can hear the stories and conversations this week during Morning Edition and All Things Considered and you can check out the coverage on our website. We’re going to feature some of those stories today and later, we’re going to hear from a UConn researcher who took a close look at what it means to age in northeastern Connecticut.

SUNY campuses across New York are facing mounting financial challenges, with Buffalo State and SUNY Fredonia dealing with significant structural deficits. In this episode of What's Next?, Fred Kowal, President of United University Professions, discusses the impact of past budget cuts, the current funding gap, and what it means for students and faculty. He also highlights the importance of programs like the Educational Opportunity Program, which supports thousands of students each year, and calls for increased state investment to strengthen public higher education.

The March 27 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a powerful and controversial conversation with Manuel Cunha, President of the Nisei Farmers League, addressing recent allegations surrounding Cesar Chavez and the broader implications for labor, agriculture, and policy in California. Cunha shared strong reactions to reports detailing misconduct tied to Chavez, calling the situation deeply disappointing and emphasizing that more of the story still needs to be told. Drawing from decades of experience in agriculture, Cunha described what he believes was a long-standing imbalance in how farm labor history has been portrayed, often overlooking the challenges faced by growers while elevating union leadership without full scrutiny. The conversation also explored the rapid fallout from the allegations, including the removal of statues, reconsideration of school names, and shifting public perception. Cunha noted how quickly public opinion changed following the report, raising questions about how historical figures are evaluated and remembered. Beyond the controversy, the discussion turned to the ongoing issue of labor in California agriculture. Cunha highlighted how working conditions for farm employees have significantly improved over the decades, including better wages, safety standards, and regulations. However, he stressed that major challenges remain, particularly around labor availability, immigration policy, and the need for practical solutions that support both workers and growers. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill also discussed the broader policy landscape, including the need for balanced immigration reform. The conversation touched on potential pathways for long-term workers, legal frameworks for future labor, and the importance of removing criminal elements from the system while supporting those contributing to agriculture. Another key takeaway from the episode was the importance of agriculture being treated as a priority issue rather than a political one. As discussed on the show, food production impacts every American, and policies affecting farmers and ranchers have far-reaching consequences across the economy. The episode also previewed continued discussions on labor and immigration, with more insights expected in upcoming segments as the industry prepares for the peak growing season.

Why do strong behavioral health programs still struggle to demonstrate their impact?Many of the organizations I work with are doing incredibly important work. You are supporting prevention initiatives, expanding access to treatment, helping families navigate mental health challenges, and strengthening communities.But when it comes time to demonstrate impact and secure funding, many leaders feel less confident than they should.In this episode, I walk through five common challenges I regularly see across behavioral health organizations and explain why these issues are rarely about lack of commitment or effort. More often, they come down to systems, strategy, and alignment.In this episode I discuss:• Why fragmented reporting systems make impact difficult to track• What happens when no one clearly owns data and evaluation• The difference between measuring outputs and demonstrating outcomes• Why many organizations have the data but struggle to tell a compelling story• How leaders often become the bottleneck in reporting and evaluation systemsI also introduce a framework I use with clients to think about alignment across clarity, impact, and funding, and share a short diagnostic tool designed specifically for behavioral health leaders.You can take the Clarity, Impact, and Funding Resilience Scorecard here:

In part 1 of this session from TGC25, three speakers address critical weaknesses in our discipleship that cause believers to drift from the gospel. They provide a defense of Protestantism and give compelling reasons to rediscover the church's beauty. Jared C. Wilson talks about the danger of assuming gospel centrality rather than cherishing it. Gavin Ortlund talks about the desire, especially felt by young men, for assurance and depth, and he explains how the Protestant Church can provide these things. Brad Edwards considers how to address the modern assumption that the church is inherently harmful. Part 2 will include Q&A with the panelists. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Staffing Challenges and Political Bias: The Gaza Peace Plan and the BBC. Mary Kissel details the challenges facing the State Department and NSC in implementing the Trump administration's urgent Gaza Peace Plan, noting staffing issues are delaying coordination. The plan, featuring an apolitical "Board of Peace," seeks international legitimacy despite the UN's prejudice against Israel. Kissel expresses little surprise regarding the BBC scandal, viewing the deliberate distortion of the President's video remarks as appalling and emblematic of an "embedded bias" against conservatives that is deep and unfixable. 1957 GAZA

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Venezuela's Post-Maduro Challenge: Securing Military Loyalty in a Brief Transition Window GUEST: Evan Ellis, Professor, US Army War College 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor hosts Professor Evan Ellis to discuss the challenges facing Venezuela following the presumptive departure of Maduro, who heads the illegitimate Caracas regime and is named as the head of a drug cartel. The conversation focuses on the elected president, Edmundo González, and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado. Machado and González insist they are the elected government and their transition is not a regime change. Professor Ellis emphasizes that the timeline is critical. Since the US likely "won't necessarily be sticking around" to establish the transition to a democratic order, González and Machado will face a "very brief window and a very difficult task." Key challenges include establishing order and securing the loyalty of military personnel whose prior bosses were aligned with Maduro. 1900 CARACAS Retry
