**Jeep Talk Show – Tire Tread Depth Reality Check + How to Properly Tow Your Jeep (XJ, JK, JL, JT & Gladiator)** Tony and Josh are back with another no-BS episode. We start by correcting the record on tire tread depth after some listener pushback, then dig deep into the right (and wrong) ways to tow a Jeep so you don't melt your transfer case or destroy your drivetrain. After that Tony shows off a pile of new website tools he's built for the community — Jeep of the Week, networked show timer, JTS Honor Badge generator, live chat, Best Of archive, Discord discount codes, and more. ### Timestamps 00:00 Intro Banter and Show Opening 00:27 Tire Tread Depth Standards and Safety Discussion 05:17 Towing an XJ Jeep: Methods and Considerations 11:13 Flat Towing Options for Various Jeep Models 12:30 Setting Transfer Case and Transmission for Safe Towing 14:47 Essential Pre‑Tow Checks: Steering, Parking Brake, and Lockers 15:40 Foot Brake and Driver Position Safety Tips 16:18 Flat‑Towing Setup: Parking Brake, Lockers, and Dolly Use 18:27 Hybrid Towing Options and Cost Considerations 19:56 Gladiator Towing Cherokee: Capacity and Gear Planning 20:40 Show Timer Integration and Remote Recording Setup 22:06 Show Timer Feature Overview and Segment Selection 23:15 Launch of "Jeep of the Week" Feature and Community Engagement 26:03 Jeep of the Week with Video Voicemail: Listener Participation 27:38 Reviving the "You Bought and What?" Affiliate Segment 30:01 Planning the Return of the Affiliate Segment 31:07 Unified Jeep Talk Show Chat and Boss‑Key Feature 34:24 Introducing Custom JTS Honor Badges 37:07 Best‑of Episodes and Review System Launch 41:53 Contact Page, Discount Bot, and Community Outreach 43:16 Discord Discount System for Members 44:21 Call to Action, Social Media Promotion, and Legal Disclaimer ### Key Takeaways - Legal minimum tread in most U.S. states (including Texas) is **2/32"**. The widely recommended replacement point for everyday/wet driving is **4/32"**. Many shops and safety groups push 5–6/32" for trucks, SUVs, and wet/snow climates. - Safest way to tow any Jeep (TJ/YJ/JK/JL/JT/Gladiator): all four wheels off the ground (flatbed or wheel-lift + front dolly).   - Minimum setup if you must two-wheel tow: transfer case in Neutral, automatic transmission in Park (or manual in gear), steering unlocked, parking brake off, lockers unlocked. For longer distances, remove driveshafts. - Atlas transfer cases have distance limits when flat-towed — pull the shafts if you're going far. ### Calls to Action Submit your ride for **Jeep of the Week**: jeeptalkshow.com (Listener Jeeps link in the top menu)   Join the Discord & grab discount codes: jeeptalkshow.com/discord (type `/discount`)   Best Of archive (top 50 episodes ranked by downloads): on the website   Create your own JTS Honor Badge and drop it in the gallery   Leave a 5-star rating & review on YouTube, Spotify, or your podcast app   Questions or episode ideas? jeeptalkshow.com/contact   Support the show on Patreon for exclusive perks: jeeptalkshow.com/contact   --- **Support the Show & Shop Jeep Gear** Thank you for watching and listening!

If you're living with MS and wondering whether pregnancy is still on the table for you… this episode is for you. Maybe you just saw two lines on a test and your first thought wasn't joy, it was "what do I do about my medication?" Maybe you're a year out from trying and you want to plan this right. Either way, you deserve real answers, not a shrug. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Christina Chambers, PhD, MPH, a perinatal epidemiologist and professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego.

In this episode we speak to Pat Risner, President of South32 Hermosa project in Arizona who are advancing a multi-metal critical minerals development in the Patagonia Mountains of southern Arizona targeting zinc, manganese, silver, lead, and copper.   In this conversation we discuss what makes Hermosa such a strategically important project, the recent progress on permitting, and why Pat describes it as "a different kind of mine." We'll also explore his leadership journey, the company's approach to safety, community and Tribal engagement, the role of innovation and remote operations, and what the mining industry needs to do to develop the next generation of talent. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Hermosa project has the potential to produce up to five critical minerals including zinc, manganese, and copper, helping address supply chain vulnerabilities and foreign reliance for the United States. By design, Hermosa minimises its environmental footprint using 90% less water than traditional historical operations, a battery-electric underground fleet, and a total land disturbance of just 700 acres over up to 70 years of operation. South32 established relationships with local communities and native tribes four to five years prior to submitting permit applications, allowing stakeholder input to directly shape project design and avoid cultural or environmental impacts. By placing its remote operating facility (Centro) in Nogales, the project removes traditional mining employment barriers and supports a goal of a minimum 80% local workforce. BEST MOMENTS "We all guarantee everyone goes home safe and well... 'Guarantee' is a very emotive, provocative word when we talk about safety in mining, but that's deliberate. It's on purpose; it drives and ensures we have the right conversations." "The concept is: the earlier you engage with deliberate intent that you want to design a project that's less impactful... you have to start really, really early so it's robust and meaningful consultation." "For most of my mining career, we just didn't tell our story in the industry... It was more about not being seen than telling your story, and so I think that's changing—and I think it has to change." "We had to address the historical challenges around our industry that have made it less acceptable to society, and that's where the 'different kind of mine' piece goes in."

Welcome to episode #1048 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Tom Rath is one of the most influential voices in the fields of leadership, strengths, wellbeing, and human performance. A researcher and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of books including How Full Is Your Bucket?, StrengthsFinder 2.0, Eat Move Sleep, and so many more, Tom's work has shaped how millions of people think about work, health, and personal development. His latest book, What's the Point? - Turning Purpose Into Your Daily Superpower, challenges one of today's most common assumptions: that purpose is something we discover once in a lifetime. Instead, Tom argues that purpose is built through everyday actions and by focusing less on ourselves and more on how we contribute to others. In this episode, he explains why the future of work demands a fundamentally different mindset as AI reshapes traditional jobs and organizations. We explore why responding to tasks is becoming less valuable than creating new ideas, why careers will likely become more entrepreneurial and project-based, and why younger generations are right to expect more meaningful work. Tom also discusses the changing relationship between employees and employers, the limits of personal branding and self-awareness, and why looking outward toward customers, colleagues, and communities ultimately creates more fulfillment than endless introspection. Throughout the conversation, he makes the case that the greatest opportunity in the age of AI is not simply becoming more productive... it's becoming more human by asking one deceptively simple question before every meeting, every project, and every day: What's the point?

Send us Fan MailEpisode Summary: In this episode, Alicia Johnson, founder of Two Lynchpin Road, shares valuable strategies for effective public communication during emergencies. Discover how trust, transparency, and community engagement shape public perception and improve crisis response.BIO: Alicia is an emergency manager, resilience strategist, and Founder and CEO of Two Lynchpin Road — a woman-owned resilience consulting firm. With over 20 years of on-the-ground experience, she has spent her career on the question disaster response never fully answers: why do some communities recover while others don't — and what does trust have to do with it? That question drives her Resilience Operating System, which treats Trust Infrastructure — the measurable connections between institutions and the communities they serve — as a non-negotiable foundation for disaster preparedness. Alicia's work helps governments and organizations build community trust, strengthen public engagement, and create information systems that actually reach people before a crisis demands it. She has served as an expert to NATO, built White House-recognized preparedness resources, and worked with clients ranging from the City of Sonoma to state emergency management agencies across the country. When she's not building trust infrastructure before a crisis tests it, you'll find her taking photographs and planning her next travel adventure. 10 countries, 47 states, and counting.https://twolynchpinroad.comSupport the showOur premiere sponsor, Social News Desk, has an exclusive offer for PIO Podcast listeners.

Closing the doors to a membership is supposed to hurt signups. But one of Tom's clients did exactly that — closed it, added an application, doubled the price, then reopened. His next launch sold out in 4 minutes. Same community. Same people. Just different mechanics. My guest this week is Tom Ross, the founder of Learn.Community, where he helps community builders design learning experiences that actually stick. His clients have reached millions of people and generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue. Tom has been building online communities for 20 years, and he's been a member of The Lab since 2022. In this episode, we talk about: Why an application process might be the most underused retention lever in the membership world The “bacon medicine” framework for making your membership both sellable and sticky long-term Tom's “delight, direct, connect” onboarding philosophy — and what almost every community gets wrong How he rebuilt his course into learning pathways, drove completion from 20% to 50%, and turned a siloed module into the main engine of community engagement By the end of this episode, you will understand exactly why most membership churn is decided before someone joins, and what to actually do about it.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson talks with Lavera Alexander about how the Monterey Bay region is positioning itself at the forefront of advanced air mobility. Lavera explains how four public-use airports, aircraft manufacturers, research institutions, workforce partners, and community leaders are being brought together into a coordinated flight network designed to accelerate testing and commercialization. The conversation explores the importance of airport infrastructure, public-private partnerships, community participation, and certification-based career pathways that can lead to high-paying jobs without requiring a four-year degree. For economic developers, the Monterey Bay story demonstrates how smaller and rural regions can compete in emerging industries by recognizing their existing assets, convening the right partners, preparing before funding becomes available, and making public benefit central to the strategy. Like this show? Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Inventory what is already happening. Identify existing employers, airports, research institutions, training programs, infrastructure, and geographic advantages before trying to create a new industry cluster. Connect isolated activities into a regional strategy. Separate companies, airports, and institutions become more competitive when their work is coordinated around a shared goal. Prepare before funding becomes available. Use regional planning processes to develop relationships, document opportunities, and create an implementation plan so the region can move quickly when state or federal funding opens. Lead with your region's distinct advantages. Smaller regions do not need to imitate major technology hubs. They can compete by offering specialized assets, terrain, facilities, partnerships, or capabilities that larger metros cannot easily reproduce. Explain the public benefit early. Do not focus solely on how impressive a new technology is. Show residents how it could improve transportation, healthcare access, logistics, employment, or quality of life. Bring the community into the process before commercialization. Give residents opportunities to ask questions, influence priorities, and understand how they can participate instead of expecting them to catch up later. Create workforce pathways that do not require four-year degrees. Work with community colleges, universities, employers, philanthropies, and grantmakers to develop affordable certification programs connected to real jobs. Assess infrastructure readiness honestly. Evaluate what local airports and other public assets need in terms of upgrades, capacity, equipment, and supporting infrastructure before recruiting additional activity. Treat questions and resistance as opportunities for education. Concerns about change often reflect uncertainty. Respond with practical information, specific use cases, and clear explanations of what is known and what is still being developed. Combine sector expertise with economic development expertise. Technical consultants understand the industry, but economic developers bring convening, partnership-building, funding, workforce, inclusion, and community implementation skills that are essential to success. Special Guest: Lavera Alexander.

In this episode, we will learn from Elissa Lee, OTD, OTR, an occupational therapist whose work is redefining what community health can look like at scale. Dr. Lee is the Director and Senior Advisor of Community Engagement for California Volunteers in the Office of the Governor, where she leads the Neighbor-to-Neighbor initiative. It's all about building social connection across communities and as OT practitioners, we know that connection isn't just nice to have, it's essential to health, resilience, and belonging. This conversation is a real reflection of Uncommon OT in action. Dr. Lee's work lives at the intersection of public health, policy, and community-based programming, leading national mental health campaigns with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation and the Clinton Foundation, and designing programs around chronic care, CalAIM, and homelessness prevention. We talk about what it actually looks like to take the OT lens beyond traditional settings and apply it at a systems level, where the impact can reach entire communities. Dr. Lee's work is a reminder that OT belongs everywhere, especially in the spaces where community, connection, and health intersect.What we get into:Social connection as a core occupationHow OTs can show up in public health and policy spacesDesigning programs that meet people where they areAddressing real-world barriers like chronic illness and housing instabilityWhat Uncommon OT really looks like in practiceContact & Resources:You can find me through my work at Meet6Neighbors.com and CANeighbors.com.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elissaslee/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elissasays/https://eedition.sfchronicle.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=0e2c638a-85b9-46e1-a31e-dc74ee622a69&share=trueAs always, I welcome any feedback & ideas from all of you, or if you are interested in being a guest on future episodes, please do not hesitate to contact Patricia Motus at transitionsot@gmail.com or DM via Instagram @transitionsotTHANK YOU for LISTENING, FOLLOWING, DOWNLOADING, RATING, REVIEWING & SHARING “The Uncommon OT Series” Podcast with all your OTP friends and colleagues!Full Episodes and Q & A only available at:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/the-uncommon-ot-seriesSign Up NOW for the Transitions OT Email List to Receive the FREEUpdated List of Uncommon OT Practice Settingshttps://www.wholistic-transitions.com/transitionsotTo Add Your Profile to The Uncommon OT Directory:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/requestFor Non-Traditional OT Practice Mentorship w/ Patricia:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeC3vI5OnK3mLrCXACEex-5ReO8uUVPo1EUXIi8FKO-FCfoEg/viewformHappy Listening Friends!

Carol Ross Barney, FAIA, HASLA, the distinguished 2023 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal recipient, is a visionary architect, urbanist, mentor, and educator, and has relentlessly advocated that excellent design is a right, not a privilege.
