What does it take to build a recruiting firm that survives three recessions, operates across borders, and thrives without retainers? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we spotlight David Fishman, founder of Sparrow Company—a bi-national executive search and staffing firm based in both the U.S. and Mexico. David shares how he rebuilt after nearly losing everything in 2009 and developed a resilient, multi-revenue business that consistently closes $30K+ deals on contingency. With a team of 12 and placements ranging from hourly plant workers to C-suite executives, David proves that long-term success in recruiting isn't about flashy tech or a narrow niche—it's about grit, loyalty, smart diversification, and building client trust. Whether you're a firm owner, solo operator, or team leader, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, act faster, and future-proof your business model. Episode Highlights: [2:30] Why David's recruiting journey started with a family staffing business and a Coast Guard exit [7:00] How the 2009 recession nearly wiped him out—and what it took to survive [16:00] Expanding into Mexico: a single client request that changed everything [24:00] Building a binational team and training his kids to become recruiters [36:00] Why he's not retained (yet), and how he consistently closes $30K+ fees on contingency [47:00] How Sparrow places both plant supervisors and presidents using the same recruiting mechanics [1:06:00] David's multiple revenue streams: recruiting projects, temp staffing, nearshore talent [1:13:00] Why impulsivity is his superpower and what legacy he wants to leave behind Why Diversification is Non-Negotiable After nearly losing his business during the 2009 downturn, David made a key decision: stop relying on one industry or one type of placement. Today, Sparrow Company operates across manufacturing, engineering, mining, supply chain, and IT—placing roles at all levels across North America and Europe. Key takeaway for recruiters: Think beyond niche. Build a multi-layered model across industry, function, level, and geography. 3 Revenue Streams Every Recruiting Firm Owner Should Know To protect against market shifts and add recurring income, David built three revenue lines: Embedded recruiters on short-term contracts Temporary staffing through a dedicated local firm Contract engineers working remotely from Mexico for U.S. clients These offerings helped him scale sustainably, stabilize cash flow, and serve clients more deeply. “Every time we add a new service, it helps us survive another economic cycle.” How to Close $30K+ Deals Without Retainers David works 100% on contingency—but trains his clients to expect fewer resumes and faster, more precise matches. His firm is known for first-candidate hires and high-level execution without the upfront fees. “I'm not retained, but I'm still beating the firms that are. Because I'm hungrier.” About David Fishman David Fishman is the founder of Sparrow Company, a bi-national staffing and executive search firm incorporated in the United States and Mexico. With 30+ years in recruiting, he's placed CEO, CFO, VP, Director, Plant Manager, and Engineering roles across global manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and Tier-One automotive clients. Sparrow's clients include publicly traded multinationals, private equity-backed firms, and international companies operating across the U.S., Mexico, Switzerland, and Germany. David is a member of the Pinnacle Society, recognized by the California Staffing Professionals Association as Staffing Professional of the Year, and frequently speaks on recruiting best practices and production hiring. In 2022, he launched a traditional temporary staffing firm serving the El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM region.

Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.

In this episode of the Coast To Coasties Podcast, I continue my 2 part discussion with MST1 Gavin Kline about the newest Warrant Officer pathway in the U.S Coast Guard. The intention of the program is to give members in certain enlisted rates earlier opportunity in their career timeline to become Warrant Officers which benefits both the enlisted member with increased pay and responsibilities and benefits the Coast Guard by retaining their skilled specialists they have invested into more years than the old traditional Warrant Officer path. For members who join the Coast Guard as enlisted and prospect to one day become a Warrant Officer in the Marine Inspections field, this episode is a great listen to start planning and making the necessary steps early in your career to building a competitive package in your future. Note* the EMITP program covers Warrant paths to Marine Inspections not all encompassing of every Warrant program. Please enjoy and reach out to me if you have any questions or additional feedback!

In this highly requested episode of the Coast To Coasties podcast, I sit down with LTJG Bryan Casado to discuss navigating military service life together with a family.

We have a fantastic discussion breaking down the additional challenges Coasties with families face with respect to potential jobs balancing your home/family life with the demands of the mission while always prioritizing family 1st. This episode was a fantastic discussion and a must listen to for anyone considering joining the Coast Guard who has additional family members to think about and weigh their decision with as we go over support functions and resources the Coast Guard provides to families to assist members households through the times when the mission demands additional time from it's people serving while also taking care of our loved ones. Please enjoy and reach out to me with any additional questions you have.

More than 120 people have died after flash floods in Texas wiped out entire rural towns. The EU reached an agreement with Israel to get aid into Gaza, but the political rhetoric surrounding long term solutions has been troubling. And Trump is starting the tariff machine back up after countries refused to come to the table for new trade deals. Then, in Have You Heard Headlines, Erin & Jake break down the rest of the week's headlines to keep you in the know about what is happening in the rest of the world. This podcast turns into an article summary at each week's episode over on Substack.

Send us a textWelcome to the July 11th edition of the Daily Drop, where the Pentagon plays Monopoly with rare earth minerals, drones become the new IEDs, and Trump hands out Patriot missiles like party favors—with NATO picking up the tab (allegedly). Jared unpacks the latest military madness with his usual blend of sarcasm, side-eyes, and straight-up disbelief. From AI drone swarms to banned eyelash extensions, from therapy dogs saving morale to space lasers tracking Chinese satellites—this one's got it all. Oh, and apparently we bombed Iran's nuclear sites… but maybe didn't hit anything? It's like a military-themed episode of “Nailed It!”

Plaintiffs allege that Plaskett knowingly participated in and helped facilitate Epstein's sex trafficking operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands. They claim she visited Epstein's New York mansion to solicit direct campaign contributions—repeatedly requesting $30,000 for her campaigns and the Democratic National Committee—and that Epstein then used his political influence to influence policies in the Virgin Islands. As general counsel for the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority, Plaskett allegedly approved approximately $300 million in tax breaks that benefited Epstein's businesses after receiving financial and professional support, including a job at a law firm connected to Epstein's network.The survivors also contend that Plaskett leveraged her political leverage to pressure local authorities—such as customs, Coast Guard, and airport officials—to relax oversight and allow Epstein to transport women and girls between New York and the Virgin Islands without encountering legal scrutiny. The plaintiffs argue that these actions weren't isolated misjudgments but part of a calculated pattern enabling a broader trafficking enterprise, with Plaskett's contributions and interventions central to Epstein's unimpeded operation and global network.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Plaskett's attorney vows to fight 'baseless' lawsuit by Epstein victims | News | virginislandsdailynews.com

It's Wednesday, July 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists imprison three church leaders Communist officials in China sentenced three church leaders to prison last month for alleged fraud. Pastor Li Jie and Elder Han Xiaodong received sentences of three years and eight months. Elder Wang Qiang received a sentence of one year and 11 months. They're from Linfen Covenant Home Church in China's northern Shanxi Province. The case has involved years of surveillance, arrests, and court delays. A statement from the church denounced the unjust sentencing, saying their leaders are “suffering for righteousness' sake and are willing to take up the cross with the Lord.” In Matthew 16:24-25, Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Irish pro-lifers upset 50,000 babies killed since 2019 Thousands of people attended a pro-life rally in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday. People held signs and flags that said “Life Will Win” and “Stop Aborting Our Future.” Since 2019, over 50,000 unborn babies have been murdered in the womb in Ireland. Sandra Parda with The Life Institute said, “This is an issue the media wants to ignore, but how can we be blind to 50,000 lives ended in just over six years. It represents more than 100 schools or thousands of classes of children. It's part of Ireland's future growth and development and innovation ended before birth.” President Trump to visit flood-ravaged Texas In the United States, President Donald Trump announced he will visit Texas on Friday in the wake of catastrophic flooding there.  Flash floods hit central Texas last Friday, killing at least 108 people. Most of the deaths were in Kerr County where 30 children died. Many of them were from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls camp.  Local officials have reportedly been dodging questions about their emergency response preparedness.

U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer saved 165 lives at Camp Mystic During the tragic flooding, a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer has emerged as a hero. Twenty-six-year-old Scott Ruskan and his crew were called in to help at Camp Mystic. He described his experience on ABC's Good Morning America. RUSKAN: “I got on scene, boots on the ground at Camp Mystic. Discovered I was the only person there as far as First Responders go. “So, yeah, I had about 200 kids. All scared, terrified, cold, having probably the worst day of their life. And I just kind of need to triage them, get them to a higher level of care.” Having only been a rescuer swimmer with the Coast Guard for six months, this was literally his first rescue mission. RUSKAN: “When I got on scene, there was 200 kids looking for someone for some sort of comfort and safety. They don't really know what my experience is or my rank or my age. They just know, hey, this guy's a professional and he's here to help us. And I kind of had to live up to that standard.” Remarkably, Ruskan is credited with saving 165 lives. However, he praised  the courage of the children he rescued, calling them the real heroes. RUSKAN: “The real heroes, I think, were the kids on the ground like those guys are heroic. And, you know, they were dealing with some of the worst times their lives, and they were staying strong, and that helped inspire me to kind of get in there and help them out.” Elon Musk talks about forming The American Party On Saturday, Elon Musk announced the formation of his new political party. He wrote on X, “When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, The America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” The tech billionaire said he will focus on the U.S. House and Senate over the next 12 months. Musk says the America Party will support free speech, the Second Amendment, reduced debt, and reduced regulations.   Appearing on PBS News, Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report offered her analysis. WALTER: “Whether a third party goes anywhere and what he does with that, it feels like this is a person who's been upset by his experience within the current political system. So, he says, I'm going to take my ball, go home, and then make my own party. “The reality is he could have much more influence on politics if he took some of his millions and billions of dollars and actually focused it on a certain number of candidates or races of candidates who felt similarly to him on many of these issues. “Clearly, the fiscal issue in terms of the deficit is the one driving him in this case. But he has a lot of other policies that, if he funded a candidate on the Democratic or Republican side, would be really more efficient than starting another party.” IRS: Churches cannot lose tax-exempt status if they endorse candidates The Internal Revenue Service said in a court filing Monday that churches should not lose their tax-exempt status if they endorse political candidates from the pulpit. In the case, the IRS is joining churches and Christian groups in challenging the Johnson Amendment. The 1954 provision of the tax code prohibits 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations from engaging in political activities.  The IRS said, “Communications from a house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its usual channels of communication on matters of faith do not run afoul of the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted.” Family is top value of Americans And finally, Gallup released a new poll on the most important values to Americans. U.S. adults were the most likely to rank family as their top value, followed by freedom, health, integrity, and faith. Family is the most important value for nearly all major subgroups in the survey. The most notable exception is for those who attend religious services weekly. While family is important to them, faith is even more important.  In Matthew 22:37-38, Jesus said, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

One of the 10 busiest ports in the nation, the Port of Seattle has been led by Executive Director Steve Metruck since 2018. Jon and Steve discuss Seattle's growing cruise industry; trends in domestic and business travel; the enormous scope of business for the Port of Seattle; his career path from the Coast Guard to the Port and much more. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Steve Metruck.

The discussion covered the departure of Maddie and the arrival of Tim, the Epstein list controversy, and Trump's gas budget bill. It was revealed that Pam Bondi confirmed no Epstein list was found, despite previous claims. The conversation also touched on the Kerr County flood disaster, highlighting the heroic efforts of the camp director and a Coast Guard rescuer. The group discussed the potential impact of Trump's military policies, including the reinstatement of one standard for physical fitness across genders. They also speculated on the future of the Democratic Party and the implications of Trump's foreign policy strategies, particularly in Ukraine and the Middle East. The conversation revolves around the discussion of legal priorities, with a focus on the Epstein case and election fraud. Speaker 1 suggests that Bondi should redirect her efforts to investigating election fraud and the Russian hoax, arguing that the Epstein case is a distraction. The speakers mention that Bondi, Bongino, and others have found no substantial evidence in the Epstein case. They propose appointing a special prosecutor to handle the Epstein matter, freeing Bondi to focus on more critical issues. Additionally, the conversation briefly touches on the importance of addressing election integrity and the potential for future evidence tampering. The discussion ends with a promotional segment about a coffee shop and bakery, encouraging listeners to provide feedback and tune in for future episodes.

Scott Ruskan left his accounting job in NYC to serve his country in the U.S. Coast guard, today he is a national hero. It was Petty Officer Ruskan's first mission as a rescue swimmer for the Coast Guard and the Guadalupe river had risen from 3 to 30 feet in the area near Camp Mystic, an all girls Christian camp. On the ground Ruskan was the only first responder and nearly 200 terrified, cold children needed his help. Ruskan, along with 65 brave men and women of the aircraft unit showed their bravery and heroism and are American heroes. Tricia McLaughlin joins me today to give us a comprehensive look at the Department of Homeland Security and the efforts they are taking to keep Americans safe. Two more attacks on federal agents happened in Texas as deranged lunatics are ambushed agents at an ICE facility and U.S. border patrol facility. ICE is currently in LA's MacArthur park, infamous for gang activity and Karen Bass wants them to leave immediately. Dangerous gang members, terrorist supporters and criminals will continue to be deported. Dangerous rhetoric from Democrats incahoots with the media have caused a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents this year. The headlines like "Maryland man" and "Georgetown scholar" are forgetting little details like members of MS 13 or tren de aragua. The "Georgetown scholar" that was detained is the senior advisor to the Hamas terrorist group. The USDA's new National Farm Security Action Plan is securing and protecting American farmland and banning American farmland to be purchased by Chinese nationals or other foreign adversaries. Under Kristi Noem's leadership the DHS will continue to put America First and keep the homeland safe.

We will provide more updates on the Texas flooding and the relief camps. Petty Officer Scott Ruskan has completed his first mission with the U.S. Coast Guard, and he is being hailed as a hero! Andrew McGowan encountered Shallen Yu in Yellowstone and thought to himself, "I'm going to marry that girl." And he did! Shallen was aware that her family might disapprove, and indeed they initially did. However, her mother consulted a Chinese fortune teller, who predicted that they would have their differences but would ultimately work them out. Currently, Andrew and Shallen have two children and are happily married.

In today's episode, we spotlighted the incredible heroism of Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin, who helped evacuate nearly 200 people—including scores of kids—from rising floodwaters at Camp Mystic, Texas. Ruskin's first major rescue mission showcased not just elite training, but deep personal courage and leadership in chaos. We also unpacked the strange timing and unanswered questions surrounding new Epstein video footage with a missing minute, raised red flags about growing domestic insurrectionist behavior in L.A. led by Mayor Karen Bass, and dove into the critical importance of discernment in a world flooded with misinformation and weaponized narratives. The thread through it all? Truth matters more than ever—and the fight for it is heating up.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comKirk Elliott PHD - FREE consultation on wealth conservation - http://GoldWithJustin.comJoin Justin in the MAHA revolution - http://HealthWithJustin.comTry Cue Streaming for just $2 / day and help support the good guys https://justinbarclay.com/cueUp to 80% OFF!

Broadcasting live every Monday through Friday from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM CST (often extending to dive into le audience chats), this dynamic trio brings their unique perspectives to the stories that matter most, slicing through mainstream media narratives with transparency, edge, and an unwavering commitment to truth. **About the Show** Launched on July 7, 2025, *Uncensored Live* is the result of years of audience demand for Shaun, Lindsey, and Clay to reunite and deliver a no-holds-barred take on the news. Clay Edwards, host of the *Clay Edwards Show* (7:00 AM–9:00 AM, Monday–Friday on WYAB 103.9 FM and @SaveJXN across social media), brings his fiery conservative perspective. Shaun Yurtkuran, a practicing criminal defense attorney and co-host of *Crossing the Aisle* (12:00 PM–1:00 PM, Monday–Friday on WYAB 103.9 FM), offers a liberal-leaning yet pragmatic viewpoint.

From local Mississippi controversies—like the debate over a Confederate statue in Brandon or rising crime in Jackson—to national stories like the Jeffrey Epstein list saga or the tragic Texas floods, the show dives deep into topics mainstream media often sidesteps. **Episode Highlights from July 7, 2025** In their inaugural episode, Shaun, Lindsey, and Clay set the stage with a bold mission: to counter what they see as a misleading, anti-police narrative in local media. Key discussions include: - **Local News**: A heated Brandon city aldermen meeting over a Confederate statue, with Clay and Shaun debating the preservation of history versus claims of economic impact, challenging the narrative that statues deter business.  **National Controversies**: The hosts tackle the Jeffrey Epstein client list debacle, expressing frustration over conflicting statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino. They explore theories of government cover-ups and potential intelligence agency ties, noting the curious timing of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's U.S. visit.  **Tragic Events**: Addressing the devastating Texas floods, the trio condemns efforts to politicize the tragedy, celebrates heroes like a Coast Guard member who saved over 160 lives, and calls for unity and improved emergency preparedness.  **Crime and Culture**: From a Jackson man's alleged hack into the Hinds County Human Services system to distribute EBT funds to a domestic violence-related murder, the hosts connect local crime trends to broader societal issues, keeping the conversation real and relatable. **Why Listen?** *Uncensored Live with Shaun, Lindsey & Clay* is more than a news show—it's a movement.

Correspondent Bill Whitaker ventures out to one of the most dangerous inlets in America, nicknamed the Graveyard of the Pacific, at the mouth of the Columbia River. The mission? Document the training of elite members of the U.S. Coast Guard determined to graduate from the National Motor Lifeboat School and earn the coveted title of certified Surfmen. Whitaker speaks with some of the best water rescue professionals in the country as they push their limits, tackling the roughest waters and toughest test, to hear firsthand what it takes to operate in huge breaking surf in order to save lives. Located in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and only accessible by boat, Smith Island, Md., is a place where time stands still, and its residents speak a unique dialect. Rising sea levels and erosion are changing the landscape and placing residents at risk of becoming some of the country's first climate refugees. Correspondent Jon Wertheim meets these locals to hear how climate change threatens their way of life – and the island itself – and how their perseverance and pride are inspiring a new generation of islanders. Something unusual is going on in Major League Baseball stadiums across the country this season, and it isn't traditional baseball. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from Savannah, Ga., on the dancing, back-flipping, lip-syncing almost-baseball team, the Savannah Bananas. They've created a new twist on the sport, which they call Banana Ball. Among its rules: a two-hour time limit; no bunting, walks or mound visits; and if a fan catches a foul ball, it's an out. Stahl meets Banana Ball's unorthodox, yellow-clad founder, Jesse Cole, and discovers the electric, circus-meets-sporting-event atmosphere that is selling out ballparks.
