Property tax reform in Ohio is gaining serious momentum, but for fire departments, this isn't just policy… it's operational reality. In this episode of the Triple P Podcast, hosts Clayton O'Brien sits down with David Thomas to break down what's happening at the state level and what it means for fire chiefs, command staff, and departments that rely heavily on levy-based funding. From levy fatigue to proposed reforms that could limit revenue growth, this conversation gets into the real-world impacts and long-term sustainability. If your department depends on property tax funding, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

In this episode, herbal legend Pat Collins shares her journey into the world of herbs, emphasizing the importance of self-sufficiency and natural remedies. Pat's an experienced teacher, a herbalist, a published author and founder of the Total Health and Education Centre. I loved chatting with her about her early experiences with plants growing up on a farm, how she was introduced to the power of home remedies when her babies were young, and how passionate she is about using weeds and indigenous plants for health. Pat highlights the barriers people face in embracing herbalism, particularly fear and lack of knowledge, and offers practical advice on incorporating herbs into daily life. Pat shares many practical home remedies you can take with you, using a few simple ingredients you will have in your pantry and kitchen- I'm looking at you potatoes and onions!CONNECT**You can connect with PAT via her  website Total Health and Education where you can sign up to her weekly newsletter, buy her many books or sign up to her workshops.You can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here,  join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

Have you ever felt invisible — like your prayers were bouncing off the ceiling, and even God had gone quiet? As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, In those moments of deep loneliness or misunderstanding, it’s easy to believe that God has forgotten you. But Isaiah 58:9 offers a promise we can cling to: when we call, the Lord answers; when we cry for help, He says, “Here am I.” Rachel Wojo, host of Untangling Prayer, shares a personal story of feeling isolated after a painful workplace conflict. The tension left her feeling unseen and rejected, not only by her coworkers but even, for a time, by God. Yet when she brought her hurt and bitterness honestly before Him, everything changed. The situation didn’t resolve instantly, but God’s presence brought peace. His silence, she discovered, was not His absence. The Hebrew word for “answer” in this passage means to respond or pay attention. That means when you pray, God is not distracted or distant. You have His full attention. Even when you can’t hear His voice or sense His hand at work, He is near — fully aware of your pain, your prayers, and your needs. If you feel forgotten today, take comfort in this truth: God sees you. He hears you. And when you call, His loving response is always, “Here am I.” Today's Bible Reading:“Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.” – Isaiah 58:9

When roles shift at home and at work, even strong couples can feel the strain. In this episode, returning guests Shay and Phil Bynes (Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur) pull back the curtain on their four-year journey of transitioning Shay out of the CEO seat and Phil in—while raising three kids and continuing to lead a global movement. They share what changed, what didn't, and how they protected connection through it all. You'll hear how they navigated identity, authority, and expectations as spouses and co-leaders—without letting business tension become marital tension. From hearing God's nudge to act, to wrestling with control, to defining new decision rights, Phil and Shay explain the practical guardrails (and plenty of grace) that made the handoff work. We also get tactical about staying close during busy seasons: weekly “marriage board meetings,” spontaneous micro-check-ins, and simple, intentional fun that doesn't require a plane ticket. If you're a married entrepreneur aiming to grow your business without shrinking your marriage, this conversation is a masterclass in change done together. 12 Powerful Questions to Connect You with God's Heart & Mind in Business: https://kingdomdrivenentrepreneur.com/usccc Free Chapter of Shae's Book, Grace Under Pressure: A Story About Leadership and the Hidden Cost of Ambition https://shaebynes.com/gupbook Grace over Grind https://kingdomdrivenentrepreneur.com/our-books/ Key Takeaways: Transitions need clarity: Decide who owns which decisions now (vision, people, money, operations) and write it down. Step back—then calibrate: Founders often swing too far away after a handoff; expect to iterate until the advisor/CEO rhythm fits. Protect a weekly marriage meeting: Same time, same day, non-negotiable. Use ground rules so issues get resolved before they fester. Honor design differences: Lead styles will differ by God's design; resist the urge to “correct” your spouse into your style. Let things “sputter” (strategically): Maturity sometimes requires leaders to stop rescuing, so teams learn to think and own outcomes. Friendship fuels connection: Micro-moments (10-minute check-ins, pausing a show to talk) keep intimacy alive during busy stretches. Serve first leadership: Out-serving one another at home creates safety and teamwork that shows up in the business. Plan fun on purpose: Comedy nights, simple dates, and kid-care logistics belong on the calendar like any key meeting. Phil Bynes is CEO of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, a global movement equipping entrepreneurs to partner with God in business and create greater Kingdom impact in the marketplace. He is also the owner and lead therapist at Crazy Good Massage, where he has served clients with excellence for over 20 years. Shae Bynes, affectionately known as the Chief Fire Igniter, equips leaders to build grace-empowered cultures where people and results flourish. She has impacted over one million people worldwide through her books, courses, podcasts, and speaking. In her executive advising work, she brings a unique blend of strategic clarity, spiritual intelligence, and transformational insight. High school sweethearts since age 16, Phil and Shae have been married for 26 years and are the proud parents of three daughters.

The Evolution of a Scaled Business: Tipalti's Journey Insights into Tipalti's growth from 25 employees to over 1,000 in 11 years. Changes in hiring, talent acquisition, and leadership skills needed at different stages of growth. The increasing importance of communication and alignment as a company scales. The Critical Role of Middle Management The immense impact of a strong middle management layer on a successful operation. The challenge of selecting the right leaders, maintaining a high bar, and knowing when to promote from within versus bringing in outside talent. Detecting leaders who "talk a good game but can't actually get results". Operating Rhythms and Communication at Scale The necessity of formalising company values and mission as a business grows, moving past initial cynicism. Examples of operating rhythms, including quarterly leadership offsites, cross-functional business leader meetings, and CEO roundtables. The importance of one-to-one conversations and cross-functional SWAT teams to break down silos in larger organisations. Detecting Hidden Issues (Rot Under the Floorboards) Using a balanced scorecard as a metric system to avoid people gaming a single goal and to gain comprehensive insights. The value of early indicators and actively listening to employees and customers to uncover problems not captured by metrics. What Investors Should Ask (But Rarely Do) The need for investors to dig deeper into a company's identity, target market segments, and differentiators to understand the "why" behind the metrics. Dangers of Misguided Scaling Assumptions The common mistake of assuming that simply hiring "top talent" from prestigious backgrounds will solve all issues, without considering their fit and ability to adapt and execute at all levels. The continuous need for leaders to adapt and evolve every six months as the business changes. Holistic Business Growth vs. Deal Momentum Theatre Protecting against "deal momentum theatre" where new wins are celebrated, but cash flow, retention, and loyalty lag. The shift towards a healthy, holistic approach with happy, advocating customers as the most profitable way to grow, even if it feels uncomfortable. How Tipalti re-emphasised customer centricity through values, committees, and new metrics when growth challenged earlier informal approaches. Regrets in Institutionalising Processes Regretting a period of too much focus on new business conversion at the expense of the entire customer lifecycle. The tricky balance between investing in product vision and addressing immediate customer needs. Balancing Investor Pressure with SaaS Reinvestment The importance of a smart LTV to CAC model to balance short-term gains with long-term sustainability and profitability. LTV to CAC as a filter that guides investment decisions and helps communicate strategy to investors. Rethinking Customer Health: NPS vs. Net Value Score Rob's advocacy for NPS as a humbling and valuable metric for customer-centric culture, though acknowledging its limitations in directly linking to business results and long-term value. Marcus introduces his concept of a Net Value Score which ties customer outcomes directly to revenue retention and margin for a more honest and predictable measure of future relationship value. Loyalty as the North Star The distinction between renewal, repeat purchases, and customer loyalty. Loyalty as the ultimate aspiration for a business, which naturally drives the other two, and serves as a vital "North Star" for employee motivation. Systematising Referrals and Customer Expansion (GoToBase) Using data science and data mining to correlate customer behaviors with LTV to CAC, expansion rates, and product usage. The observation that customer expansion and "GoToBase" motions are often immature in many organisations, with a heavy focus on new logos. The argument that referrals should be a systematised engine, not an accident, and that happy customers are the foundation. Adapting to the New Economic Reality and the Power of Trust The shift from an environment of cheap money and growth at all costs to one demanding profitability and sustainable metrics. The need for go-to-market leadership to adapt or be replaced, with increased importance of customer success, account management, and marketing/channel functions. In an age of decreasing trust due to AI and media, companies that build around trust within their customer and partner base will thrive, making trust a powerful, measurable "operating system" and "North Star". Rob's Best Mistake: Being naive and taking chances in "grey spaces," which doesn't always work out but consistently leads to valuable learning and experience.
