In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Jeff Ponce, Senior Product Manager at RectorSeal, about Clear Drain PVC and the science behind better condensate management. Jeff explains how traditional PVC drain lines develop clogs caused by bacteria and biofilm buildup and how Clear Drain PVC solves this with a hydrophobic surface that prevents growth. They discuss why zinc is used in the product, how it creates a slippery surface instead of killing bacteria, and the research and development behind its creation. Jeff also shares how the product was first used in grocery store refrigeration systems in Europe and how it is now helping HVAC contractors prevent costly water damage and maintenance issues. This episode discusses the challenges HVAC technicians face with condensate drain management and how new technology can prevent common clogs. Jeff Ponce from RectorSeal explains how Clear Drain PVC was created to stop bacteria and slime from sticking inside pipes. He shares how the zinc mixed into the PVC fills tiny pores, creating a smooth, slippery surface that keeps drains clean. Jeff also talks about how the product was first used in grocery store refrigeration systems in Europe and later tested for HVAC use in the United States. His focus is on helping contractors reduce maintenance issues, prevent water damage, and keep systems running efficiently. Expect to Learn: How condensate drain problems start and why they cause major HVAC issues. Why do traditional PVC pipes allow bacteria and biofilm to grow inside? How Clear Drain PVC from RectorSeal prevents buildup with a smooth, hydrophobic surface. The role of zinc in creating a safer and more effective drain solution. How this technology was developed, tested, and proven in real-world HVAC and refrigeration systems.

Entamoeba histolytica nearly ended Ron Blutrich's scientific career. Instead, it pushed him to rethink how we protect people in multi-family buildings, senior facilities, and dense urban centers from invisible microbiological risks in their drinking water. In this episode, he joins host Trace Blackmore to unpack what whole-building UV can (and can't) do for Legionella, biofilm, and real-world water safety. When One Bad Cup of Water Redefines a Career In the middle of his PhD in molecular genetics, Ron drank from an under-sink reverse osmosis tap at an Airbnb and contracted Entamoeba histolytica. The infection triggered more than three years of severe gastrointestinal symptoms and a 100-pound weight loss, despite being "clinically cured." That experience—and the lack of clear answers—led him to dig into how governments, utilities, and buildings actually manage microbiological risk in water. He discovered that even in urban centers, there is "a lot left to be desired" in monitoring, guidelines, and the epidemiology of waterborne disease. UV at the Point of Entry: Why Medium Pressure Matters Ron explains why he chose UV as the primary disinfection tool for CLEAR's whole-building solutions. He contrasts conventional filters (carbon, RO, media) that remove contaminants but do not kill biology with UV systems that directly target DNA and other cellular structures. He walks through the differences between low-pressure and medium-pressure UV, including temperature independence for hot water recirculation and the broader wavelength spectrum that can damage DNA, proteins, membranes, and even DNA repair enzymes. That same technology is being used for multicellular control in marine environments, ballast water, and mollusk control, and Ron argues it is uniquely suited to domestic hot water systems facing Legionella and biofilm. Legionella, Biofilm, and the Limits of "Good Enough" Drawing from CLEAR's field work, Ron describes how often Legionella shows up in single homes, condos, and new buildings, and how standard practices typically focus on remediation and short-term clearance instead of long-term prevention. He highlights the gap between ASHRAE 188's recommendations for hot water temperatures and real constraints in senior housing, where anti-scalding concerns keep tanks too cool to reliably control Legionella. He also shares stories of property managers and public agencies reluctant to test because they lack cost-effective treatment options or don't want to confront what the data might show. Scaling UV from Towers to Single Homes Ron walks through why conventional media and RO systems don't scale well to large towers—footprint, cost, and pressure loss—and how CLEAR instead installs inline UV systems at the point of entry. These systems can handle up to roughly 2,000 gallons per minute, require minimal head loss, and are designed as a single point of installation and service. From there, he explains how his team layered on monitoring and a tenant-facing dashboard so that properties can see UV dose, transmittance, and flow in real time, and service can be triggered based on performance instead of fixed schedules. He also discusses emerging opportunities in UV LEDs and next-generation media that could make fully comprehensive point-of-entry treatment feasible in more buildings. For leaders responsible for building portfolios, senior living, or high-density residential properties, this conversation offers a rigorous look at what it really takes to move from "we hope the water is fine" to a defensible, data-backed stance on microbiological safety.

It turns out that Legionella is extremely susceptible to UV. Legionella can be reduced almost 6 logs with most conventional UV systems" - Ron Blutrich "So, at this point, our UV systems, it's an inline system. It's basically a section of pipe that happens to disinfect the water going through it. It's a single point of installation, a single point of service.

Tony D'Onofrio breaks down Black Friday shopping trends this year, noting lower in-store shopping than last year but still seeing a significant traffic increase. “There is a generational split,” he argues, with Gen Z spending sharply less than other generations. “Black Friday is critical” and sets the tone into next year, he says. Tony also discusses online shopping vs brick-and-mortar, arguing that “the store is becoming the fulfillment center,” bringing the two worlds together. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Parrots are instinctually busy-bodies. In their natural habitat, they are nomadic and have very few limitations on the ways they can physically interact with their living space. This is how they will live within your home unless you clearly establish where you want them to go and how you want them to do it.This requires consistent positive reinforcement training. The endgame being allowing your parrot to be out in the house in a way that is harmonious with you and your family's lifestyle. You can accomplish this by showing your parrot that existing with boundaries is a rewarding experience for both of you.Stationing is the practice of training your parrot to be placed somewhere and stay there. We'll discuss why stationing is so crucial to the success of your bird longterm. There should be a minimum of three stations in your home that are designated bird-friendly spaces: the enclosure, your hand, and a third space such as a play stand that has been outfitted with a great deal of enrichment.So, how do we get the parrot to identify that an area is a safe space for them to behave like the bird they are? Participation and treats! Engage with your bird and fill that space with things that will instantly appeal to them: foraging toys, chew toys, enrichment, enrichment, enrichment. Think you have enough enrichment? Add more. In the world of bird care, when it comes to enclosure space and enrichment the rule of thumb is always the more, the better. The more enriching a space, the less likely they are to want to leave it. Building boundaries does not require a lot of effort, but it does require consistency and knowledge. Creating a happy living space for you and your parrot should not be approached like a mystery to be unraveled but rather an agreement you make with your bird to take part in a strategy for success. Having a step-by-step plan behind how to approach communicating expectations is necessary for a fulfilling experience with your bird.In this episode, we discuss what it means to have a successful strategy for establishing boundaries and ultimately how doing so sets clear expectations for your parrot when it comes to their behavior.So, join us as we dig into how having boundaries with your bird will make both of your lives together infinitely better. Because the goal isn't just to live with your parrot, but to live well!Links: Visit Us: https://www.parrotstars.com Parrot Stars on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parrotstars/ Parrot Stars on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@parrot_stars Parrot Stars on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@parrotstars Support the Parrot Stars Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2376122/supportFollow the Parrot Stars Podcast wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.

You'll hear people tell you that you need to create “SMART Goals” or that “You have to make your professional goals line up with your personal goals.” Or, “The best way to develop your future self is to create an action plan of smaller goals moving you toward more attainable goals.”I suppose that all of those things are true. But my advice is not to overly complicate the process. In “plain speak,” figure out where you want to go, determine a route to get you there, and start moving.Here is the step-by-step goal-setting process that I use.1) Create a Clear Vision of Where You Are Heading (Long-Term Goals).2) Define Your Milestones (Your Midterm Goals).3) Set Daily and Weekly Action Plans to Move You Toward the Next Milestone (Short-Term Goals).4) Track Your Progress Visibly Along the Way. (That's One More Mile Down.)5) Review Your Goals Regularly and Make Adjustments When Needed.On this episode, I'm going to cover each of these steps in more detail.Show Notes: Set Clear Goals to Move Toward Your Vision for Success(https://www.buildingyourteam.com/create-clear-goals-to-move-toward-your-vision-for-success/)
In this message, Pastor Jay sounds the alarm on one of the most subtle but dangerous threats to a believer's spiritual life, neglecting prayer and the Word of God. Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, he reveals how spiritual drift doesn't begin with rebellion but with distraction. When prayer fades and devotion to Scripture weakens, the fire of our relationship with God begins to cool, feelings start replacing faith, and temptation gains ground. This message is a call to rekindle your devotion and return to the rhythms that keep your heart burning for God.

We all have closet bullies. Those are clothes that don't fit, don't flatter, or just don't feel right anymore. But we hang on to them anyway, hoping someday they'll magically work. Every time we open the closet, there they are, reminding us of money wasted or goals unmet. Turns out, my marketing to-do list had a few bullies of its own. Projects I meant to start. Brilliant ideas that just never made it off the page. Every time I saw them, I felt a little guilty. So I did what I did with my closet, I cleaned house. Some ideas were great… for someone else's business. Off they went. Others? I pushed them a few months out, with a note to myself: if I'm still not ready then, it's time to let them go for good. And you know what? The minute I cleared out those marketing bullies, I felt lighter. I could actually see the projects that mattered — the ones that fit my business right now. Here's your takeaway: Clear the clutter. If an idea or project has been hanging around forever, either commit or cut it. Make room for what fits. When you drop the guilt and the “someday” tasks, you'll have the space — and the energy — for marketing that actually works. So, what's bullying your marketing list? Maybe it's time to tell it to hit the road. If you've enjoyed this conversation, if it's prompted an idea or a question, I'd love to hear from you. Hop over to https://morethanafewwords.com/contact.

In this conversation, Dr. Lacy emphasizes the significance of writing discussion chapters in research and the critical role of data analysis. She explains that well-analyzed data leads to clearer and more effective communication of findings, making the writing process smoother and more intuitive. The discussion chapters should reflect a deep understanding of the data, allowing researchers to present their ideas confidently and coherently. Takeaways Your findings and your discussion chapters should be the easiest ones to write. You should have so much to say and know exactly how you want to say it. The reason you're rewriting is to focus on presentation. If you're unsure, it means you didn't analyze your data properly. Learning to analyze data is crucial for effective writing. Clear analysis leads to clearer communication of ideas. Discussion chapters reflect your understanding of the data. Effective writing is a result of thorough data analysis. Focus on the presentation of ideas over the content itself. Confidence in writing comes from understanding your findings.

If your marketing feels loud but ineffective, this episode reveals the four essential sales you must make long before a prospect ever gets on a call—because in a world where information is a commodity and attention is cheap, only strategic messaging cuts through the noise. Inside, the speaker breaks down how to reshape your audience's beliefs, sell them a powerful new identity, present a standout unique solution, and use story-driven social proof that rebuilds trust in a skeptical market. By mastering these four elements, you'll transform scattered content into strategic communication that attracts more qualified leads, increases booked sales calls, and positions you as the go-to authority in your niche. "If you are not changing the way they think, if you're not helping to plant new beliefs or seeds of thought inside their minds, they're not going to take action." Key Takeaways for listeners: Shifting beliefs is the foundation of effective marketing — if your audience's current beliefs block them from taking action, no amount of content will convert. People buy identities, not just solutions — selling the future version of who they want to become drives stronger motivation than selling features. A unique mechanism or methodology is essential for standing out — naming and framing your approach makes your solution feel new, different, and worth paying attention to. Story-driven social proof is more powerful than screenshots — walking listeners through the journey, not just results, builds trust and relatability. Clear messaging outperforms more content — the right words, delivered the right way, across any platform, create consistent demand and inbound leads. When these four sales stack together, conversions rise naturally — prospects start believing change is possible, see themselves in your vision, trust your method, and see proof that it works.

Miracle Consciousness is a multidimensional activation into the frequency of divine orchestration, synchronicity, and grace. This Transmission anchors the Miracle Field, the energetic template where miracles are not extraordinary but natural expressions of divine order. It invites your entire system to resonate at the frequency of effortless manifestation, divine timing, and higher intelligence. You are becoming the living field of miracles itself. Each Transmission is a multidimensional energetic session that interacts directly with your nervous system, energy body, and subconscious architecture, recalibrating your field into coherence with the miracle frequency. Through a precise fusion of binaural entrainment, subliminal reprogramming, and energetic light coding, this Transmission opens a living field that performs real-time energetic alignment while you listen. You are being attuned, energetically, neurologically, and vibrationally, to the natural rhythm of miracles. Every layer is deliberately designed to: Synchronize brain hemispheres and guide the body into Theta relaxation. Clear subconscious resistance to divine flow and infinite possibility. Activate the miracle frequency in your energy field, cellular memory, and emotional body. Transmute density and limitation through vibrational resonance and divine love. Anchor higher-dimensional intelligence into your physical, emotional, and mental systems. This is energy work disguised as sound, living consciousness encoded into audio form. Each tone, pulse, silence, and vibration carries divine intelligence that knows exactly where to go and what to recalibrate in your field.

PREVIEW — Fraser Howe — China's Chronic Property Market Crisis Persists Due to Government Refusal to Clear Debt. Howe explains that the Chinese government created and sustains a chronic property market crisis by refusing to permit real estate values to clear at severe discounts, unlike the U.S., which aggressively resolved its debt burden through market mechanisms. The government prevents acute price collapse, converting a short-term correction into a long-term structural drag on economic growth lasting well over five years—a millstone constraining China's broader economic performance and development capacity.

Rod Khleif is a Dutch immigrant, multifamily investor, and high-performance mentor who has owned over 2,000 single-family homes and thousands of apartment units across the U.S. He hosts “Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing,” one of the largest commercial real estate podcasts, where he teaches investors how to use multifamily, senior housing, and other commercial assets to create long-term wealth. After watching his net worth jump $17 million in 2006 and then losing roughly $50 million in the 2008–09 crash, Rod rebuilt by focusing on mindset, goal setting, and identity work—turning that “seminar” into a blueprint he now shares with students worldwide. On this episode we talk about: Rod's journey from broke Dutch immigrant kid in Denver to watching his mom buy a $30,000 rental that appreciated $20,000 and realizing real estate could change his life. Getting his broker's license at 18, struggling for two years, then jumping to over $100k in income after discovering the power of mindset, psychology, and the right mentor. Building a massive portfolio of single-family and multifamily properties, seeing his net worth rise by $17 million in one year, and then losing around $50 million in the 2008 crash. How Rod reframed that loss as a “$50 million seminar,” refused to let real estate become his identity, and used aggressive goal setting and identity statements to rebuild. The current state of commercial real estate, including distressed multifamily deals due to interest rate shocks, emerging opportunity in senior housing/assisted living, and why he's cautious on office but bullish on other asset classes. Top 3 Takeaways Your business is just a vehicle—if it fails, you are not a failure; separating identity from outcomes is essential if you want to recover from big losses and take bigger swings. Clear, emotionally charged goals combined with “I am” identity statements and massive action create the momentum needed to push through fear, limiting beliefs, and comfort zones. Right now is a rare window for prepared buyers in commercial real estate and small business acquisitions, with distressed multifamily assets and retiring Baby Boomer owners creating outsized opportunities. Notable Quotes "They're only failures if you don't get back up—otherwise they're just very expensive seminars." "Anything you put the words ‘I am' in front of becomes an identity statement, and your life will rise or fall to match it." "Don't fear failure; fear regret—because not living the life you're capable of is the real nightmare." Connect with Rod Khleif: Rodkhleif.com Rodspodcast.com

Family gatherings can be beautiful. They can also feel like emotional landmines, especially when you're an actor. One minute you're passing the mashed potatoes. The next you're answering a pointed question about your career from someone who hasn't watched a show since 1998. In this week's episode of the Acting Business Bootcamp Podcast, I talk about how to stay calm, centered, and grounded as you navigate family dynamics. These tools help you protect your energy so you can enjoy the holiday instead of getting swept up in other people's anxieties. The Question Doesn't Require a Monologue A lot of actors feel pressured to explain themselves. To defend their choices. To prove they're on the right track. But you don't owe anyone an emotional TED Talk over stuffing. A simple, steady answer is enough. "It's going well. Thank you." That one sentence keeps you out of conversations you don't need to be in. You get to keep your peace. You get to protect your space. If someone pushes, you can set a gentle boundary. "I have a few things moving, I'll share when I'm ready." Short. Clear. Done. Their Anxiety Doesn't Belong to You So often the loudest questions are really about someone else's fears. Their need for certainty. Their discomfort with ambiguity. You don't have to take that on. Let their energy stay with them. You return to your own center. Your own path. Your own truth. Anchor Yourself Before You Walk In A holiday gathering is like an unexpected audition. A little preparation goes a long way. Take a few quiet minutes in the car before going inside. Ground your breath. Remember the work you've done. Remember what you're building. Even the smallest wins matter. This simple pause strengthens you more than you think. Use The Bathroom as Your Backstage If you feel yourself getting wobbly, step away. Close the door. Breathe. One minute is enough to reset your nervous system. Here's an affirmation I love for holiday gatherings: "I am my own authority. I love and approve of myself. Life is good." Say it until your shoulders drop. Movement Clears Emotional Static Sometimes the easiest way to break emotional noise is to move your body. A short walk around the block. A quick step outside. Offering to run to the store. Even a loop around the backyard. Think of it as an intermission in the middle of the holiday play. Grace Beats Defensiveness If someone brings up the state of the industry or questions your path, gently redirect. "Things are moving. I'm focused on the work. How are you doing?" It shifts the spotlight off you. It softens the moment. It keeps the energy human. Curiosity Transforms the Room People want to be seen. When you become curious about them, the dynamic changes. Ask how their year has been. Ask a follow-up. Then another. When you listen deeply, conversations soften. Walls come down. You return to connection, not conflict. A Final Reminder Your career is not defined by anyone's holiday opinion. You get to be your own authority. You get to choose peace. And if family stress gets loud this year, you're not alone. Join the "Listening to Invisible Guidance" Class If you've been feeling lost, stuck, or unsure of your next step, I created a one hour class called Listening to Invisible Guidance. It teaches you how to notice the quiet nudges, how to ask for support, and how to actually hear the signs that are already showing up for you. You'll learn why doubt doesn't block guidance and why disruption can be a sign that you're being redirected, not punished. It's simple. It's powerful. And it's only $20. You can watch it as many times as you want.
