Crime is down 28% in Cape Coral, and in this episode of the Cape CopCast 'Chief's Chat,' we're breaking down exactly how it happened. Despite our growing population and increasing calls for service, we've achieved remarkable reductions across both violent and property crime categories while maintaining solvability rates well above national averages.What's our secret? Chief Anthony Sizemore says it's right there in our mission statement: "Partnering with the community to ensure the highest level of safety for all." This isn't just aspirational language—it's a practical approach that yields measurable results. When community members lock their doors, report suspicious activity, and maintain open lines of communication with officers, we create a foundation for success. Combine that with strategic deployment, advanced technology, and dedicated personnel who genuinely care about this city, and you've got a winning formula.We're particularly proud of our recent CALEA assessment—the gold standard in law enforcement accreditation that we've maintained since 1989. Assessors came to the department and conducted an exhaustive evaluation of our policies, procedures, and practices, from use of force guidelines to hiring practices that reflect our community's diversity. The result? The most successful evaluation in our department's history, with assessors recommending us as a national model in several areas. This recognition validates the significant innovations we've implemented over the past five years and confirms we're not just meeting standards—we're setting them.Looking ahead, we're expanding our ranks to keep pace with Cape Coral's growth, creating promotional opportunities from top to bottom within our organization. This combination of proven success, external validation, and internal development has created tremendous momentum. Have questions about our approach to community safety? Reach out—partnership is what makes this work, and we're just getting started.

Physical movement + mental stimulation combined, plus food, sleep and motivation. I know you're all busy and might only read the first paragraph so I'll summarise what I can from the interview here, but of course, please do listen / watch the interview as you'll get so much more from the conversation between my guests. The core takeaways from our experts for boosting both lifespan and healthspan: - Challenge your brain: Aim for tasks you succeed at 70 - 80% of the time. - Move with purpose of thought: Combine high-intensity bursts with cognitive challenges. - Food: Favour a Mediterranean-style diet rich in plants, healthy fats, and quality protein. - Sleep: Aim for 7 - 9 hours nightly, prioritising quality as much as quantity. - Stay motivated: Choose activities you actually enjoy; consistency is key. It's one thing to live a long life. It's another to live it well: physically sharp, mentally agile, and emotionally engaged. This week on The Lisa Burke Show, my guests are three leaders in neuroscience, nutrition, and biohacking who share the latest, evidence-based ways to extend your health span. Professor Thorben Hülsdünker is a performance neuroscientist and sport neurophysiologist at LUNEX. His research bridges the gap between how the brain and body adapt to training, with practical insights for everyone from elite athletes to ‘normal' adults looking to stay sharp. Myriam Jacobs, a sports and clinical dietitian, now works full-time with the Luxembourg Institute for High Performance in Sport. With a career spanning hospital work in diabetes and obesity to elite sports nutrition, she knows what fuels what is needed for each individual body and at what time of day. Manlio Lo Giudice is a mechanical engineer turned human potential coach, trainer, biohacker, and co-founder of MobiGym: Luxembourg's first longevity fitness studio. He's hosted longevity meetups around the globe, spoken with pioneers like Bryan Johnson and Aubrey de Grey, and tested countless self-optimisation strategies on himself. Professor Hülsdünker starts by reminding us that, evolutionarily, our brains weren't designed to last beyond 50. That's why natural cognitive decline is so common in later life, but not inevitable. Just as we strengthen muscles, we can train the brain. Thorben does not like most of the “brain training” apps as they rarely translate into real-life benefits. He believes in a blend of movement and mental challenges. That's why ball sports, dance, or running whilst solving mental puzzles are best to produce the growth factors that keep neurons thriving. Sleep is another silent superpower. Beyond memory consolidation, deep sleep clears away toxins that can accelerate dementia risk. Shift workers and those with irregular schedules face added challenges, making sleep quality crucial to their health. From the kitchen, Myriam made the case for the Mediterranean way of eating which is not a diet but a lifestyle rich in plants, nuts, olive oil, fish, and limited red meat. On wine, the advice is still moving. Protein does matter, but so does the timing of its intake. As we age we should spread it across the day for optimal absorption. Manlio brought the biohacker's perspective, drawing on the Pareto Principle: 80% of the benefits often come from 20% of our actions. He suggests to focus on the minimum effective dose of exercise to trigger adaptation, avoid chronic stress, and use short, sharp challenges to strengthen both brain and body. Fasting, done wisely, can act as a beneficial stressor, stimulating cellular ‘clean-up' processes like autophagy, but should be tailored to individual needs and lifestyles. When it comes to the whole array of technological devices we can use or wear, Professor Hülsdünker suggests that even if they're not accurate, they might be able to show trends. The whole industry around longevity and all of the apps available to us to track, monitor alter are there if this aids your motivation, but motivation is another large part of what we need it order to develop habits. If you can find a way to physically move whilst using your brain, and eat ‘well' for your body and its needs, do this with a supportive social circle… then you're on your way to living a good and long life. https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorbenhuelsduenker/ https://lunex.lu/ https://lihps.lu/what-we-offer/sports-nutrition/ https://lihps.lu/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/manlio-lo-giudice-a8b7773/
A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
If your child is anxious, reactive, or easily dysregulated, it might be time to look at what's on their plate. I talk with parents every day who feel stuck, not realizing that diet can be a fast, powerful way to regulate the nervous system.In this episode, I share the top 3 foods that make anxiety worse—and how small swaps can lead to big changes in behavior, mood, and emotional control.Why does my child crash after eating sugary snacks?Sugar and processed carbs are everywhere. And honestly? They're one of the most common triggers I see in anxious kids. These foods cause blood sugar spikes, followed by a crash that fuels anxiety, irritability, and mood swings.They also disrupt neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which are key for staying calm and focused. And let's not forget the gut—simple carbs and added sugars increase inflammation, which affects both digestion and brain function.I've seen families swap out cereal and juice for things like turkey roll-ups or apples with nut butter—and notice calmer behavior that same day.What works: Combine healthy fats and proteins with carbs to avoid blood sugar crashes. That might look like yogurt with berries or a smoothie made with real fruit and nut butter.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.Are food dyes and additives making my child's anxiety worse?Yes. Dyes like Red 40 and additives like aspartame and MSG can overstimulate the nervous system, especially in sensitive or neurodivergent kids. These ingredients are commonly found in snacks, drinks, and even vitamins—and they've been linked to:Poor sleepDifficulty focusingIrritability and mood swingsOne mom told me her daughter would be “out of control for days” after eating just one candy with dye. After cutting it out completely, she saw a major shift in her child's mood and behavior.What to avoid: Neon-colored snacks, sodas, artificial sweeteners, and anything with a long ingredient list.What to try instead: Naturally colored fruits, freeze-dried snacks, or a simple homemade trail mix with seeds, coconut flakes, and a bit of dark chocolate.Can gluten really affect anxiety symptoms?In short—yes. Gluten, especially in the U.S., is often sprayed with pesticides that disrupt the gut and trigger inflammation, which can worsen symptoms of anxiety and even panic attacks.I've seen kids with undiagnosed gluten sensitivity deal with years of anxiety before we finally traced it back to their diet. My own nephew's anxiety improved after discovering he had celiac disease.The good news: There are tons of gluten-free options now—from brown rice to almond flour crackers to coconut wraps. You don't have to go without—just make smarter swaps.Can changing diet actually help reduce anxiety?Absolutely. Making food changes doesn't mean perfection or doing everything at once. But removing just one of these triggers—sugar, additives, or gluten—for 30 days can help your child sleep better, focus longer, and feel less anxious.Stick with whole foods, healthy fats, protein, and complex carbs. Be consistent. Even small changes, when done regularly, can have a powerful calming effect on the nervous system.
This time last year, I set myself a personal challenge. And here's the kicker — two months later, I had my biggest sales month ever. Coincidence? I don't think so. Because what you do now creates your reality a few months — or even a year — from now. If you want your biggest Q4 yet, it starts in August. And this August is even more powerful because we kick off on the Lion's Gate Portal on 8/8 — the most potent manifestation window of the year. Combine that cosmic energy with a devoted, disciplined flow state, and you can't help but become hotter, fitter, and magnetic AF… with dream clients falling into your world. In this episode, I'm sharing: ✨ Why August is the real starting line for your Q4 success ✨ The 3 devotion pillars that make you hotter, fitter, and magnetic AF ✨ The difference between force energy and flow energy in business ✨ How my personal challenge created ripple effects that lasted all year ✨ Why the Lion's Gate Portal is the perfect time to commit to your next level

Is traditional sales outreach becoming less effective? And if so, what replaces it?In today's episode, I chat with Jean-Philippe Schepens van Thiel, founder of AxonJay, about how real-time data, predictive behavior, and AI-generated signals are fundamentally changing how we approach sales. If you've ever felt like your messaging is falling flat or that your timing is always off, this conversation is your blueprint for modernizing outreach.Meet Jean-Philippe Schepens van ThielJean-Philippe is the founder and CEO of AxonJay AI, a company helping B2B sellers harness the power of predictive signals to find the right opportunities at the right time. With over 15 years in data-driven sales and marketing, including a successful exit to Dun & Bradstreet, JP is now on a mission to help sales teams break through the noise and win deals with precision.Sales Outreach at an Inflection PointBuyers are bombarded by thousands of messages a week, most of which they delete without reading. Jean-Philippe believes we've hit a critical point in the evolution of sales, where volume no longer wins relevance and timing does. Instead of relying on old data and gut instinct, modern sales teams need to know when to reach out, what to say, and why it matters to the buyer right now.Build Your Sales CocktailJean-Philippe compares outreach success to making the perfect cocktail: timing, targeting, and content must all be in balance. One missing or outdated ingredient ruins the mix. Using AI, his company translates billions of daily data points into actionable signals then helps reps validate and fine-tune their approach using real-time context.Let AI Enhance, Not Replace, the Human ElementContrary to fear-mongering about AI replacing jobs, JP argues that AI will actually make sales more human. With technology handling research and signal aggregation, salespeople can focus on high-value conversations, empathy, and relationship-building.“It's not about more data. It's about the right data.”“Outreach isn't dead—but it's evolved.”“You need the right message at the right time.” “I want you to come to me with stuff proving.”Lessons from the FieldStop using last year's data to make today's decisions.Think beyond single signals and build context with a cocktail of signals.Use AI to filter your target list down to the 10% who are ready now.Personalize messaging with current, relevant activity not guesses.Combine automation with human feedback to improve results over time.ResourcesLearn more at Axonjay.aiConnect with Jean-Philippe via email (JP@axonjay.ai) or through the websiteImprove your outreach and sales game join our Sales Mastermind ClassThinking of launching a podcast?

Alec Naman from Naman's Catering called us this morning and said, "Let's fire up the grill this week and cook some Hawaiian Style BBQ Beef Short Ribs this weekend... " Great idea!!!! It's What's Cooking!!! Listen here: Hawaiian Style BBQ Short Ribs with Grilled Pineapple Ingredients up to 2 lbs. flanked cut beef short ribs 1½ cups pineapple juice 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 4 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 4-5 garlic cloves minced or pressed 3 green onions thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 whole pineapple peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch slices Instructions 1. Place ribs in a Ziplock bag (or 2 if needed) and set aside. 2. Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, green onions, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour mixture over ribs in bag and marinate overnight in the fridge. Turn the bag occasionally to evenly distribute marinade. 3. When ready to cook, peel and slice pineapple into ½-inch slices, leaving core intact. Brush each side lightly with olive oil and a very light pinch of salt. 4. Preheat BBQ grill.

The Senior Care Industry Netcast w/ Valerie V RN BSN & Dawn Fiala
Send us a textDementia care represents one of the most significant opportunities for home care agencies looking to differentiate themselves in today's competitive marketplace. While most providers claim to offer memory care services, few deliver the comprehensive, specialized support that families desperately need.Creating a structured, branded dementia program transforms how your agency serves clients and positions itself in your community. This isn't about simply adding "Alzheimer's care" to your service list – it's about developing a formal, named program that communicates expertise and inspires trust. Whether you call it "Memory Care Program," "Moments of Joy," or another distinctive name, what matters is backing that program with specialized training, tools, and approaches that deliver measurably better outcomes.The foundation of exceptional dementia care starts with caregiver training and retention. Partnering with organizations like the Alzheimer's Association for complimentary education or investing in programs like Teepa Snow's methodology equips your team with essential skills in redirection, communication, and behavior management. Supporting these caregivers through differential pay, recognition programs, and ongoing mentorship creates a specialized workforce capable of transforming clients' lives. The personal stories shared throughout this discussion – from the engineer who found purpose in mechanical tasks to the homemaker who regained joy through sorting socks – illustrate how understanding individual histories creates powerful connections.What truly distinguishes leading memory care programs is their investment in specialized tools and approaches. From fidget blankets and memory books to adaptive dining equipment and personalized activity kits, these resources enable caregivers to engage clients meaningfully throughout their journey. Many successful agencies maintain lending libraries of these items, allowing caregivers to "check out" tools suited to specific clients' needs and interests. Combine these practical resources with strategic marketing across all platforms – website, social media, community presentations – and your agency becomes the obvious choice for families searching for memory care expertise.Ready to establish your agency as the dementia care leader in your community? Start by giving your program a name, systematically training your caregivers, and sharing compelling client success stories that demonstrate your difference. The growing need for specialized memory care at home creates an unprecedented opportunity for agencies willing to move beyond basics and become true partners for families facing cognitive decline.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev

With tepid demand for EVs, tightening emissions standards and the internal combustion engine not going away any time soon, demand for vital PGMs (Platinum Group Metals) remains inelastic.

Bill Catania of OneRail talks about fleet management - challenges & opportunities, change management & achieveing competitive advantage with a hyrbid model. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [03.31] OneRail's rapid growth and ‘work hard, play hard' culture. “It's all about work hard, play hard. We take our role in serving our customers very seriously… But we're not afraid to play too!” [04.22] The importance of partnerships, OneRail's customer strategy, and why they don't take serving big category leaders for granted. [05.52] An overview of OneRail – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. “We help customers marry fulfillment and last mile delivery to create one seamless transaction… We're the connective tissue of an omnichannel fulfilment journey.” [06.43] From fleet optimization to last yard, the evolving landscape of last mile delivery and some of the biggest challenges shaping that evolution. “We're seeing the optimization of internal fleets being a big thing for wholesale. And wholesale is now tuned into the way retailers think… You wouldn't have seen that five years ago.” [10.18] The biggest areas of opportunity for retailers, and the ways last mile can help businesses to rise above the challenges. “For retailers, it starts with re-thinking the way they've thought for decades... Re-networking, thinking about how the different modes work together, and being able to optimize them, is everything. Every retailer on the planet wants to fulfil faster, more dependably, and at less cost – that's the normalizing problem.” [11.54] Why fleet management is an increasingly important consideration for businesses looking to tackle challenges, enhance customer experience, and scale for success. “It's all about competitive advantage – how do I use fulfilment as a weapon, to gain market share?” [13.41] Why internal fleets are increasingly hard to justify in today's on-demand economy, and the potential in outsourced fleets. “The holy grail for industrial and wholesale distribution is the merging of internal and external fleets.” [17.59] OneRail's commitment to solutioning and working closely with customers. [19.15] From utilization rates to revenue yields tied to assets, the biggest red flags that signal your internal fleet might be holding you back. [21.31] What a hybrid fleet model looks like, the strategies businesses can employ to build a successful hybrid model for themselves, OneRail's role in helping customers navigate change, and why every transformation is a process, not a one-off. “We learned a lesson. We need to do more in speaking with the end user… It's nice to spend time with the person in the warehouse or the store, and that's what our solutions team does.” [29.38] A case study exploring how OneRail helped an automotive customer launch and fulfil a 90 minute or less express delivery product, which has grown to almost 10% of their current delivery volume, driving real competitive advantage, enhancing customer experience and boosting revenue. [33.46] The new innovations and partnerships coming up for OneRail. RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: Head over to OneRail's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Buying another agency sounds like a shortcut to scale — but if you skip the wrong step or miss the wrong promise, you might inherit more problems than profit. But how do you actually approach due diligence to ensure a seamless, profitable acquisition? Today's featured guest learned these lessons the hard way. What started as a promising deal quickly revealed cracks, forcing him and his partner to navigate unexpected challenges to pull the agency through. In the process, he discovered the key questions you must ask before buying another agency and the hidden details that can make or break your investment. If you're an agency owner thinking about using acquisitions as a growth strategy, today's conversation will equip you with real-world insights to avoid costly mistakes and set your agency up for a smoother, successful expansion. Matt Marchetta is an agency owner with two decades of experience who recounts his journey in the industry, from starting his first web design business in high school to pivoting into e-commerce and ultimately becoming a digital nomad. He teamed up with a partner to acquire Growth Labs, a lead generation shop focused on outbound. He goes over some of the challenges and crucial lessons learned during the acquisition process, particularly concerning due diligence, unforeseen client guarantees, and the original owner's significant personal brand influence on the agency's client base. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why buy another agency in the first place? Due diligence traps that cost real money. The ROI guarantee that almost blew up the deal. 4 questions you must ask before your next acquisition Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. From Solo Hustle to Ecom Growth Machine Matt started his agency journey as a kid who just wanted to work for himself and quickly learned the hard way—like many do—that running a business isn't just about being good at the work, it's about learning the business of business. It's a time he remembers fondly as a great foundation for his business education. He pivoted early from generalist design and dev work into e-commerce, riding that wave as it grew. Over time, he layered in Facebook ads, video production, and photography to support product marketing for his clients. And while many were stuck in offices, Matt was ahead of the curve, running remote from day one, carving out a lifestyle business that let him travel, stay flexible, and keep agency life fun. In fact, he never thought seriously about the possibility of selling his agency, since it's something he really enjoys doing and didn't think he'd ever get an offer that would compare to what he thinks it's worth. Why Buy an Agency? So why would a guy who loves the freedom of his own agency buy another one? Simple: leverage and evolution. Matt and his current business partner decided it was time to level up their respective agencies. They were both tired of being generalists and saw an opportunity to specialize, automate, and potentially transition out of day-to-day client grind by acquiring a business with the right foundation. They didn't go hunting for a big fish they couldn't afford. Instead, they targeted a sub-seven-figure agency they could buy at a fair multiple, with the goal of systemizing and growing it. Enter Growth Labs, an outbound lead gen agency specializing in cold email marketing. What They Looked For Before the Purchase Matt and his partner moved fast but smart: Profit and Loss: They dug into five years of P&Ls, noticing the typical COVID spike, post-spike drop, and finally profitability as the owner prepared to sell. Adbacks Reality Check: The books had plenty of “personal expenses” that, once removed, showed a clearer, stronger profit picture. Pipeline and Clients: They signed an NDA to peek at client lists, learning that the agency's lead gen often came from the owner's personal brand and reputation—great for credibility, but also something they'd need to replace with systems. Recurring vs. One-Off: They checked churn, recurring revenue, and how the business handled its leads and delivery so they wouldn't be buying a leaky bucket. Fast Close, Strategic Future In true operator fashion, Matt and his partner put in an offer quickly (about three weeks after initial discussions) and agreed on a 1.3x EBITDA multiple. They wanted the former owner to stick around for a transition period, ensuring continuity while they layered in their own systems and strategic direction. Everything looked clean. The seller had a strong personal brand. The books checked out (after adbacks). The plan was clear: earnout over three years, phased transition, and keep the seller involved for 12 months to ensure smooth client handoff and he agreed to do it. Then the cracks appeared. The ROI Guarantee Bomb While poking around Slack before the official handover, Matt found discussions about an ROI guarantee with a disgruntled client. The seller brushed it off as a “Horoszi-level mistake from years back.” No big deal, right? Wrong. Turns out, most new client contracts still included these ROI guarantees—often unwritten, often unenforceable, and often unrealistic. Combine that with underperforming cold email campaigns, and you have a recipe for churn, complaints, and a legal minefield. What was supposed to be a 2-month campaign turned into 12-month obligations with clients expecting a magical ROI that the agency couldn't verify, let alone control. 4 Lessons Matt Learned (So You Don't Have to) In hindsight, Matt admits they moved too fast. A few weeks wasn't enough because due diligence should take longer than you think. His advice for agency owners is not to feel pressured—take the time to ask uncomfortable questions and look for patterns and keep these 4 aspects in mind: Don't just check contracts. Check promises. Matt discovered clients were sticking around for the wrong reasons—and the wrong terms—due to handshake promises that should've been flagged during due diligence. Thoroughly analyze client data and churn patterns. Analyze the available metrics to determine whether or not clients are actually reaching goals. In his case, Matt found that using AI would've helped him uncover that consistent MRR masked a perfect churn pattern: lose three clients, gain three clients, every month. AI could've shown these patterns in minutes. Expect that when the seller leaves, 80-90% of their lead gen leaves with them. If the agency's pipeline depends on the owner's personal brand, you need a plan to replace that before you wire funds. Dig deeper into why the seller is selling—and why they started. Was the agency a real business solving a real need, or just a personal brand ATM for the founder? That origin story tells you how the business was run and what baggage you're buying. The Silver Lining Was it all doom and gloom? Nope. Matt discovered that despite the outdated “spray and pray” cold email approach, the agency's foundations were solid: a capable team, strong email infrastructure, and processes that could be upgraded with AI personalization and scalable systems. Instead of throwing in the towel, Matt is now rebuilding Growth Labs into a smarter, tech-enabled lead-gen agency aligned with the future, not the past. And despite the headaches, Matt and his business partner are still hungry for more acquisitions, now with clear systems and smarter questions in hand. They're even considering rolling up a group of specialist agencies as their next move. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?
