This brings up the conversation of how do NASCAR contracts work with allowing drivers to race in other types of series/cars which is a very interesting conversation. The boys and Kyle now have a mutual friend in William Byron so the guys ask Kyle what Byron is like behind the scenes. Will asks the hard hitting question of, which Larson kid is the best at racing now. It takes Kyle a bit to answer the question but the answer may surprise you. Staying on the Larson family, Kyle’s wife Katelyn, is known to shotgun a beer or two after big wins. The guys ask Kyle how that all started and whether or not she continues to do so after each win. Finally the guys end off the show looking ahead at Sonoma this weekend and what it felt like for Kyle being the cover athlete for the new NASCAR 26 video game.

Joe Rodriguez sits down with Randy Moore and Tracy Young, to work through the week's hardest stories. Let the spicy takes flow! Reimbursement: UnitedHealthcare stops paying for physical status. Oklahoma and Louisiana fight back with legislation. Tracy makes the case that anesthesia has been commoditized, and that hospital subsidies taught payers they never have to pay full price. Private equity: California and Oregon pass laws to curb PE in medicine. Tracy argues we legislate against bad actors instead of punishing them. Randy defends consolidation, then explains why the Oregon deal was a playbook of what not to do. And the line nobody else will say: hospitals don't fire anesthesia groups that are doing a good job. Workforce: AA bills fail in Iowa and Minnesota. Joe argues the entire AA strategy asks the wrong question. Tracy disagrees with both hosts and predicts a sorted market: CRNA-centric facilities on one side, MD and AA medical-direction models on the other, driven by math, not preference. Plus: why anesthesia companies obsessed with growth keep losing contracts, and why CRNA residents work full-time hours unpaid while physician residents draw a salary. Takeaways: Hospital subsidies are functioning as a defacto safety net for the entire industry. They are the mechanism that lets payers keep cutting. Every subsidy dollar confirms someone else will cover the gap. Differentiation in anesthesia is no longer simply price. It is recruiting and retention, full stop. Culture is the product. Hospitals don't replace groups that are performing. If a contract gets shopped, there was a problem, whatever the press release says. Growth without product is a failure of leadership. The large groups losing contracts did it to themselves. The workforce will sort itself in the next decade. The average anesthesiologist is 55. CRNA graduation just crossed 3,000 for the first time.  Profit motive is not a disease. Imbalance is. Everyone you've ever hired has a profit motive, including you. Want more Dr. Joe Rodriguez?

What happens when a wedding photographer walks off the job? Or when a photographer shows up to a wedding dressed completely inappropriately? Or when a client demands their gallery while their photographer is grieving the loss of a parent?In this episode, we're trying something completely different.We dove into some of the wildest wedding industry stories we could find and gave our honest take on who was right, who was wrong, and most importantly, what wedding photographers and filmmakers can learn from these situations.While some of these stories are hilarious, they also reveal important lessons about professionalism, communication, client experience, online reputation, boundaries, and what it really means to run a successful business.One thing we see all the time is that small decisions have big consequences. The way you dress on a wedding day. How you communicate when something goes wrong. What you post online when you're frustrated. How you handle difficult clients. These moments may seem small, but they shape your reputation and ultimately impact the growth of your business.If you're a wedding photographer or filmmaker who wants to elevate your client experience, build a stronger brand, and avoid the mistakes that can hold you back, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways disguised as entertainment.Plus, you'll probably laugh a few times along the way.

Everyone told you to grow your audience. Get more followers, boost your engagement, go viral. So you did everything right and your numbers looked great. But your inbox was empty and you couldn't figure out why.In this episode Jordan breaks down why vanity metrics became the default way we measure success on social media, why they're completely the wrong thing to chase if you're a service based business, and what to actually pay attention to instead. After years of running a lead generation focused social media agency, she's watched business owners obsess over follower counts while their pipeline ran dry and she's done letting it slide.This one is going to ruffle some feathers.

If you've ever read a sources sought notice and had no idea what to do with it, this episode is your roadmap.

What an attorney who reviews NIL deals sees in the contracts, and what college athletes may be signing away.Philip Sheng is an attorney at Venable LLP, a national firm of roughly 900 lawyers, where he works in the intellectual property group and the sports law practice. His focus is college NIL, the right of publicity, and college eligibility. Venable also advised Taylor Swift through her fight to control her music and re-record her catalog. Sheng notes that was the firm's matter rather than his own, but the throughline is the same question he now works on in college sports: who owns a person's name, image, and likeness, and what they give up when they sign.This is the on-the-ground legal view of NIL. For the full breakdown of how the system works, start with The NIL Hub, NIL Rules in 2026, and NIL Pros and Cons. This episode is narrower. It is what a practicing attorney sees inside the deals themselves.Eric Kasimov talks with Sheng about NIL as both a legal and an athlete-centered issue. They get into whether NIL is really athlete compensation, intellectual property, or both, and why the issue was known as the right of publicity long before college sports made it a household term. Sheng has lived the landscape from several sides. He played tennis at Stanford, competed as an ATP-ranked professional, and now has children navigating college athletics, including Division I basketball and tennis.TopicsNIL as intellectual property and the right of publicityThe College Sports Commission and how it reviews NIL dealsThe Nebraska and PlayFly case, and why the contracts were the problemWhy even a small NIL deal needs its rights language reviewedHow brands can work with role players, not only star athletesRoster cuts in non-revenue sports like tennis and swimmingHigh school NIL, state-by-state rules, and protecting minorsSports betting, college students, and the value of staying in schoolChapters in This Episode00:00 Philip Sheng's background in law, tennis, and college sports00:36 Venable LLP, intellectual property, NIL, and sports law02:11 NIL as right of publicity03:15 Stanford, conference realignment, and athlete travel04:13 The burden on student-athletes06:29 What college sports used to be for07:00 Money, transfers, and the changing athlete experience09:20 NIL checks, taxes, and athlete education09:36 Bad agents and why guidance matters12:25 Has NIL gone too far?13:00 Congress, courts, media, fans, and pressure to change16:11 Money, rosters, and the college experience19:05 What the College Sports Commission does20:00 Fair market value, valid business purpose, and NIL deal review20:55 Nebraska, PlayFly, and unclear NIL contracts22:39 Why the Nebraska case was not just bad paperwork23:40 Why other schools are watching25:00 Lawyers, arbitration costs, and legal representation26:18 Sheng's view of the CSC and NCAA enforcement28:46 College football playoff expansion and media money31:00 What happens if schools sell marquee games differently32:43 Why championships still matter34:50 Sheng's work with non-revenue sports and NIL contracts36:08 Why brands should look beyond star athletes38:47 Are NIL contracts becoming standardized?39:45 Why athletes need contract review40:38 Rights, music, Taylor Swift, and long-term ownership42:02 College tennis, roster cuts, and non-revenue sports44:29 International athletes and college tennis47:25 Similar issues in soccer and goalkeeper recruiting48:00 High school NIL and state-by-state rules49:37 Youth sports, money, and family pressure50:29 Sports betting, college students, and addiction risk52:00 Athlete data, betting markets, and protection54:00 The cost and value of college55:00 Why athletes should not discount the college experience57:25 Athletic fees, non-athletes, and campus tension58:57 Burnout, injuries, and changing paths59:28 Where to find Philip ShengAbout Philip ShengPhilip Sheng is an attorney at Venable LLP, where he works in the firm's intellectual property group and sports law practice.

8a program graduation can completely change a small business's pipeline overnight, and most contractors don't see it coming until it's too late. In this episode, a construction company owner walks through how he built a $16 billion backlog of IDIQ contracts before hitting the $250 million 8a cap, what happened to his sole source work once he graduated, and how he later sold the company entirely. If you're a government contractor watching your 8a clock run out, this episode shows you exactly how to prepare. Key takeaways from this episode include: How one company went from $15 million to $75 million in sole source work in a single year right before graduating the 8a program Why bidding every MAC, MATOC, and IDIQ construction contract before graduation built a $16 billion pipeline that lasted nine more years How buying out the company in 2012 and selling it to a Philadelphia engineering firm in 2015 turned years of sole source work into a major exit How running 8a construction divisions for the Miami Nation and the Spokane Tribe took one company from $2 million to $350 million in annual revenue Why $10 to $15 million projects became the sweet spot for steady profit, fast turnaround, and manageable risk for a small prime contractor EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introducing Mindy the AI research assistant for contractors 0:30 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center podcast 0:56 - Growing sole source work to 75 million dollars 1:33 - Hitting the 250 million dollar 8a program cap 1:56 - Building a 16 billion dollar IDIQ contract pipeline 2:47 - Buying and selling the construction company after graduation 5:09 - Building construction divisions for tribal 8a companies 8:54 - Finding the ideal project size for steady profit   Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Mike gets a tutorial on The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.Inside California's Gay-Certification ProgramThe state is pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts to “LGBT” businesses.The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California's 39 million residents.In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.After hours of public comment and sometimes heated debate at the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board meeting on Wednesday, board members voted to begin decommissioning the Minnehaha off-leash recreation area. All but one board member supported the decision, which is part of the Minnehaha Regional Park long-term plan.The board heard from dozens of people, including many dog owners who said they have been using the park for more than 30 years. Members of the Indigenous community argued the land is a sacred Dakota site with thousands of years of history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Direct Booking is Better (00:12:08) Booking directly with a venue is often cheaper and more secure than using third-party platforms like Airbnb.

What "Retreat Ready" Means for Venues (00:15:36) Catherine outlines the criteria for a venue to be considered "retreat ready," including equipment, setup, niche focus, and staff training. Coaching for Venue Owners (00:18:32) Catherine describes her training programs that help new and existing venue owners prepare their properties and staff for hosting retreats. Mistakes Venue Owners Make (00:20:19) The conversation covers the significant work and liability involved in owning a venue and the need for a solid business plan. Advice for Retreat Leaders (00:21:57) Catherine advises retreat leaders to get proper training and treat their work as a serious business, not a hobby. Episode Wrap-Up (00:23:08) Shannon thanks Catherine for her insights, promotes her magazine and website, and concludes the episode with a call to action.

Mike gets a tutorial on The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.Inside California's Gay-Certification ProgramThe state is pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts to “LGBT” businesses.The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California's 39 million residents.In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.After hours of public comment and sometimes heated debate at the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board meeting on Wednesday, board members voted to begin decommissioning the Minnehaha off-leash recreation area. All but one board member supported the decision, which is part of the Minnehaha Regional Park long-term plan.The board heard from dozens of people, including many dog owners who said they have been using the park for more than 30 years. Members of the Indigenous community argued the land is a sacred Dakota site with thousands of years of history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tiffany BusseyTitle: Director, Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC)Dr. Tiffany Bussey discusses how the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center works to scale Black- and Brown-owned businesses, close the racial wealth gap, and intentionally connect entrepreneurs and workers to capital, contracts, and emerging industries, particularly in sustainability. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: Educate listeners about the systemic barriers facing Black entrepreneurs beyond access to capital. Highlight practical solutions—programs, partnerships, and ecosystems—that create real economic outcomes. Shift mindsets around entrepreneurship, risk, and opportunity, especially in underserved communities. Expose listeners to emerging, high-growth industries (e.g., sustainability, EVs, renewable energy) instead of oversaturated traditional businesses. Promote community-based economic ecosystems, particularly the collaboration between Morehouse, Goodwill, and corporate partners. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Closing the Wealth Gap Dr. Bussey positions entrepreneurship and business ownership as one of the most effective ways to generate long-term wealth in Black communities. The Center has supported 400+ scalable, mid-sized businesses, resulting in: 850+ jobs created $34M+ in new capital accessed $82M+ in new revenue generated Key insight: The problem isn’t a lack of capable Black businesses—it’s visibility, access, and opportunity. 2. “Access to Opportunity” Matters as Much as Capital While access to capital dominates the conversation, Dr. Bussey emphasizes access to contracts and decision-makers. MIEC programs are designed with opportunity partners (large corporations, general contractors, primes) so participants gain: Exposure to real contracts Understanding of supply chains Direct relationships with decision-makers Takeaway: Capital without revenue and customers won’t sustain a business. 3. The Three C’s of Business Growth Dr. Bussey outlines MIEC’s core framework: Capital – Funding and financial resources Connections – Two-way, relationship-based networks Contracts – Revenue-generating opportunities She stresses that connections only matter if relationships are mutual—it’s not enough to “know someone” unless they also understand your value. 4. Breaking Stereotypes About Black-Owned Businesses Dr. Bussey addresses harmful narratives around skill, readiness, and qualifications. She highlights intentional strategies to: Prepare businesses before opportunities arise Align training and recruitment with future industries Counter biases through performance, scale, and visibility Key idea: Preparation plus access dismantles bias. 5. Sustainability = One of the Largest Economic Opportunities Dr. Bussey reframes sustainability as an economic opportunity, not just an environmental issue: Electric Vehicles: ~$163B industry Green Construction: ~$324B industry Renewable Energy: ~$952B industry Sustainable Agriculture: ~$20B industry She urges listeners to stop defaulting to oversaturated businesses (e.g., nightclubs) and instead pursue industries that are expanding rapidly and globally. 6. Workforce Development + Business Development Must Align Goodwill provides free job training, certifications, and even stipends for individuals. Morehouse trains businesses that can hire those workers, creating a full economic loop. This ecosystem addresses two major barriers simultaneously: Human capital Business readiness Takeaway: Economic equity requires aligned systems, not isolated programs. 7. Entrepreneurship Is Rewarding—but Not Romantic Dr. Bussey demystifies entrepreneurship: It’s high-risk, exhausting, and statistically likely to fail early. Failure is part of the process, but historical and financial realities make risk harder for Black entrepreneurs. Ownership remains critical despite these challenges. Key message: Entrepreneurship is powerful, but it must be supported intentionally. Notable Quotes “Entrepreneurship and small businesses are one of the pathways to closing the racial income inequality gap.” “We don’t just provide technical assistance for technical assistance’s sake—this is about creating real opportunity.” “Capital dominates the conversation, but contracts are equally important.” “People don’t buy products or services. They buy solutions.” “We have to stop thinking only about what we feel we have access to.” “Sustainability is not one industry—it’s multiple trillion-dollar opportunities.” “Entrepreneurship is the most rewarding and the most fatiguing thing you’ll ever do.” Overall Impact The interview functions as both a masterclass and a call to action: For entrepreneurs: Think bigger, pursue scalable industries, and prepare for opportunity. For communities: Build ecosystems, not silos. For institutions and corporations: Inclusion requires intentional design. Dr. Tiffany Bussey presents a practical, data-backed roadmap for inclusive economic development—centered on ownership, access, and readiness. #STRAW #SHMS #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If the word 'contract' makes you feel a bit uncomfortable - like you're being too serious, too formal, or somehow signalling that you don't trust your clients - this episode is going to reframe that completely. Contracts aren't about distrust. They're about clarity. And clarity is actually one of the most generous things you can offer a client relationship.In this episode, we talk honestly about the mistakes we made early on, why boundaries are a core part of professionalism (not a barrier to it), and what photographers need to start thinking about when it comes to protecting their work in an AI-driven world. Because the goal isn't just protecting your business on paper - it's protecting your ability to keep creating sustainably, long-term.Focus & Flourish, Photography Business Talk is a podcast for food photographers and creative entrepreneurs who want to build structured, sustainable, and profitable businesses. Hosted by Marta Grabowska and Linda Hermans, the show combines real-life experiences with practical strategies around marketing, pricing, workflows, and mindset - helping creatives step into their CEO role and grow with clarity and confidence.Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Why the Recruitment Model Is Broken (And What We're Doing About It)OverviewIn this season opener, George digs into a real conversation with a friend who's trying to hire an Amazon Operations Manager — and uses it to expose a fundamental flaw in how traditional recruitment is structured. The incentives are pointing in the wrong direction, and it's costing brands more than they realise.What We CoverThe Amazon Pyramid — George revisits the three-pillar framework: Operations → Brand & Conversion → Advertising. Why you can't skip the foundation, and why each layer depends on the one below it.The recruiter conversation — A specialist Philippines-based recruiter quotes $2,500–$3,000/month for an Operations Manager. George pushes back — and explains exactly why that number doesn't hold up.The incentive problem — Why even the most honest, specialist recruiter is structurally incentivised to place candidates at higher salaries. Nobody's being dishonest. The model just rewards the wrong outcome.The Pare difference — No margin on salary. No big upfront placement fee. Contracts and payroll handled. And crucially — candidates join a Wednesday community of senior Amazon professionals, so they keep getting better after day one.The agency experience, rebuilt — What agencies gave clients (knowledge density, peer learning, cross-account exposure) and how the Pare community model recreates it — but with everyone at the senior table.The question left open — Did his friend make the right call going direct? And should Pare expand beyond Amazon Ads Managers into Operations?Key TakeawayPaying fairly, vetting rigorously, and removing the upfront fee structure isn't just a nicer model — over a four-month horizon, it's a cheaper one too.Pare places senior Amazon Advertising Managers with DTC brands and agencies globally.

Capture management is the govcon skill most small businesses ignore, and it's exactly why they keep losing to companies that start working the opportunity before the RFP ever drops. In this episode, Ryan Atencio pulls back the curtain on his live source-sought response process, showing exactly how he shapes solicitations to scope toward his company, knock out low-price competitors, and signal to the government that his firm is the obvious choice before evaluation even begins. What you'll learn in this episode: How to use a source-sought response to nudge an acquisition toward a contract vehicle like Seaport that limits your competition pool before the solicitation is even released Why pushing the government from LPTA to best value trade-off is one of the most powerful competitive moves a prime contractor can make, and how to justify it in writing How to suggest minimum past performance requirements, including contract numbers and work descriptions, that disqualify unqualified competitors right inside the solicitation language Why Ryan prices every proposal as if it's LPTA even when it isn't, and how that discipline protects your margins without costing you the win How to align your source-sought response language directly to the statement of work so that when the solicitation drops, the agency already sees your company reflected in it EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Mindy AI intro and what it does for small businesses 0:30 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center Podcast 0:48 - Ryan Atencio breaks down his capture management approach 1:29 - Live walkthrough of a real source-sought response 2:26 - How to write an executive summary that mirrors the SOW 2:38 - Why Seaport narrows competition and how to nudge toward it 4:16 - Making recommendations inside your source-sought response 4:44 - Why Ryan always pushes from LPTA to best value trade-off 6:16 - How evaluation factors and pricing strategy work together 9:03 - Requiring contract numbers to eliminate unqualified bidders 10:04 - How to know if your source-sought nudge worked when the RFP drops 10:36 - Federal Help Center community close and call to action Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

What if you never made a cold call, never sent a cold email, and still built a global agency with 140 clients across four continents? In this episode, Joel Strauss, founder of Strauss Communications, shares how being fired at the start of Covid with zero clients led to building a boutique PR agency that has now worked with over 140 companies across four continents. Almost every single one came through a relationship. Joel's story has three chapters: starting the business, scaling it, and saving it. Each one hinged on a personal relationship at exactly the right moment. Including the meeting in Madrid that pulled his agency back from the brink after October 7th changed everything overnight.   [00:03:30] What He Does and Who He Serves Runs Strauss Communications, a boutique PR agency for tech startups Services cover organic media coverage, content, and social media 95% of clients are tech companies; most are referred through relationships [00:04:30] How He Got Into PR Idealized politics; left after nearly two years deeply unhappy Quit, traveled South America, then went on a boys' trip to Montreal Met his brother's former roommate who connected him to a PR firm in Tel Aviv He packed up everything in New York and moved within two weeks [00:06:00] The Introduction That Started Everything His brother's former roommate saw a fit between his background and the agency The firm had political and tech clients; Joel had just enough experience to be relevant That one connection opened the door to a new industry and a new country Every step of his career since traces back to that trip to Montreal [00:07:00] What Inspires Him Gets a bird's eye view of tech across fintechs, AI, semiconductors, and more Works directly with founders, CMOs, and CEOs of innovative companies Has helped companies go from unknown to dominant positions in their markets [00:08:30] Client Impact A niche plywood replacement client started getting people knocking on their door from PR alone Several clients successfully raised investment rounds after investors cited media coverage All contracts are month to month; some clients have stayed for over three years Retaining clients through results rather than contracts is the proof of delivery [00:11:30] Starting the Business: The Boss Who Fired Him Was called into a hearing to be fired at the start of Covid Kept his cool and told his boss he understood and didn't take it personally That same boss became a mentor and referred several of his first clients Joel's wife co-founded the business with him; their relationship has been foundational [00:13:00] Scaling the Business: A Former Colleague A former colleague he stayed close with over the years eventually joined his team That person brought in key client relationships that led to major results The companies he helped raise in the US all came through this one relationship Maintaining cordial connections over time is what made it possible [00:13:30] Saving the Business: The Madrid Meeting After October 7th, Israeli tech clients sent staff into reserve duty overnight Lost half the client base almost overnight A founder from South America emailed out of nowhere; they met in Madrid by chance That relationship became a client and turned the company around [00:17:00] Vision Going Forward Wants to scale without sacrificing service quality Growing through relationships rather than cold outreach remains the core model Using AI to handle busy work so the team has more time with clients Boutique, high-quality, and relationship-driven is the identity they will not trade away [00:19:30] What Makes Them Different Most agencies charge $15,000 to $25,000 a month and put junior staff on accounts At Strauss Communications, senior people handle everything Contracts are month to month; they have to earn it every single time That pressure is what keeps the work sharp and the results consistent [00:20:00] Why He Started His Own Agency Was hired in-house at a tech company and told to bring in expensive PR firms It was him landing TechCrunch and Reuters; the firms were getting paid for his work Saw the gap and built an agency that actually delivered at the senior level [00:23:30] Thinking Broader Than Coverage Most agencies just pitch placements; Strauss Communications thinks strategically Also offers white papers and content with both PR and marketing value Measurable deliverables make it easier for marketing teams to justify the spend A webinar built from one piece of content recently generated 150 sign-ups [00:25:00] Final Word: Relationships Are a Cultural Advantage Noticed that relationship building is more open in Israel and Spain than in the US In the US, getting to the CEO requires going through several gatekeepers first Being of service and being known for it builds a reputation that compounds over time   KEY QUOTES "Every step of my story is intimately intertwined with personal relationships." - Joel Strauss "A lot of good and innovation can happen when people are more open to giving of themselves and giving their time." - Joel Strauss CONNECT WITH JOEL STRAUSS Website: https://www.strausscomms.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelstrauss1   Thanks for tuning in!

Holly Fretwell proposes longer-term contracts (up to 20+ years) to encourage private investment in essential milling infrastructure. She recommends expanding categorical exclusions to bypass "analysis paralysis" and lifting 1960s-era export bans on raw logs to improve global market competition. Successful private-sector collaborations like Vaagen Brothers illustrate how these reforms can restore forest health. (4)
