Cranes tower over the skyline as a massive makeover plays out.Much of it is tied to a major medical expansion associated with the largest employer around — Mayo Clinic.  There have also been political shifts.

Send us a textWhat if the fastest path to growth isn't “more leads,” but fewer, better customers you serve so well they never leave? We dive into the uncomfortable truth most teams avoid: value is concentrated, churn is predictable, and the difference between winners and strugglers is a focused list, clean data, and relentless follow-through.Nick Mavrick of Built Data joins us to unpack how behavioral data flips strategy from guesswork to precision. We talk about why 3 percent of customers can drive most of the revenue, how to spot the accounts worth protecting, and why chasing the bottom of the market burns time and morale. Nick shares lessons from rental consolidation and dealers under pressure, then maps a practical path for OEMs and dealers to operate from a single, shared dataset that actually moves the needle: national to regional account targeting, unified telemetry for proactive service, and outcome-based offers that make loyalty rational.We get tactical on carving out “special forces” inside legacy organizations to bypass slow systems and prove change in 90 days. Think weekend war rooms, a defined list of high-potential accounts, service promises tied to uptime, and quarterly reviews that reward implementers. We also explore the shift from selling iron to selling outcomes: cost-per-hour, automatic replacements at thresholds, and machine health monitoring that turns vendors into partners. Along the way, we tackle supply chain capital traps, competing with national rental giants via human service, and how to raise standards one name at a time.If you're tired of noisy dashboards and stale models, this conversation offers a cleaner lens: begin with the end, market to a defined list, and serve the right few better than anyone.

Send us a textWhat if the key to workplace productivity isn't another productivity app or time management system, but something far more elemental – laughter? Kevin Hubschmann, founder of laugh.events, reveals how strategic comedy breaks are revolutionizing corporate culture and employee well-being.The concept is beautifully simple yet scientifically sound: 15-minute comedy sessions that function as cognitive reset buttons during the workday. When scheduled during the notorious 2-4 PM energy slump, these "laugh breaks" reduce cortisol levels, boost endorphins, and help employees return to work refreshed and re-engaged. It's what Kevin calls "the new cigarette break" – a deliberate pause that acknowledges our biological need for mental rest.But the conversation goes deeper than scheduling comedy shows. Kevin explores how improvisational techniques build crucial "power skills" that distinguish humans from AI. As technology increasingly handles routine tasks, our uniquely human abilities – divergent thinking, authentic communication, creative problem-solving – become our most valuable professional assets. Through "laughing and development" workshops, teams learn to flex these creative muscles in safe, playful environments.The discussion takes fascinating turns through education reform, generational workplace differences, and how our lifelong conditioning toward obedience has created workforces that struggle with independent thinking. Kevin shares practical insights on bringing more authenticity to professional settings, making incremental changes that lead to meaningful growth, and creating environments where creativity can flourish within thoughtful boundaries.With predictions that 50% of Americans may lack skills for employment by 2030, this conversation offers a refreshingly optimistic counterpoint – a vision where technology handles the monotony while humans focus on connection, creativity and innovation. Ready to rethink how laughter might transform your workplace?

Send us a textWhat happens when you combine 40 years of dealership experience with cutting-edge artificial intelligence? Troy Ottmer returns to share how he's becoming "an augmented individual with an expanded toolbox," using AI to amplify his industry knowledge rather than replace it.Troy reveals his methodical approach to consulting—always examining the data before jumping to conclusions or AI-generated solutions. This process allows him to quickly understand client businesses by analyzing everything from employee satisfaction metrics to customer reviews, creating a comprehensive view that would take weeks using traditional methods. The result? Faster, more accurate insights that help dealers identify their blind spots and growth opportunities.The conversation tackles a painful truth for equipment dealers: those not adopting AI technologies will soon be left behind. But Troy emphasizes that implementation must be thoughtful, with proper training and leadership. "We manage processes, we lead people," he reminds us, highlighting that technology alone can't fix cultural issues like poor customer service or departmental silos that plague many dealerships.Most fascinating is Troy's discussion of missed opportunities in maintenance services. With dealers capturing less than 5% of maintenance hours—despite this being among the most profitable service categories—AI analysis helps identify these revenue gaps and create strategies to recapture this business. Troy shares practical examples of using data to identify customers with competitive filters or changing purchase patterns, enabling proactive outreach that demonstrates care and expertise.As dealership consolidation continues across North America—with major brands reducing dealer counts dramatically—the strategic use of analytics becomes essential for survival. Troy's message is clear: AI isn't about replacing humans but augmenting them, giving team members better tools to serve customers and anticipate needs before they become problems. The future belongs to dealers who embrace this augmented approach, combining the irreplaceable human element with powerful analytical capabilities.

“There is no such thing as a new person, only a new beginning.”“世上没有全新的人,只有新的开始。”Kaohsiung in 1982 was the second-largest city in Taiwan, with a population of about 1.2 million. It was a typical industrial port city, where the air was always filled with the scent of machine oil and the salty sea breeze. Cranes busily loaded and unloaded containers, while the sounds of factories echoed across the city. For Taiwan, it was an era of rapid economic growth, and it was in this very atmosphere that I was born.1982 年的高雄,是台湾的第二大城市,大概有一百二十万人口。那是一座典型的工业港口城市,空气里总是带着一点机油味和咸咸的海风。吊臂忙着装卸货柜,工厂的声音此起彼落。对台湾来说,那是一个经济快速起飞的年代,而我,就是在这样的氛围里出生的。For my parents, my arrival was a big event. During an ultrasound, the doctor had told my mother that I would likely be a boy. My father was thrilled when he heard the news, believing that having a son as their first child was a great blessing to the family. But when I was born and turned out to be a girl, his expression reportedly grew complicated. Later, he often laughed when recalling: “The moment you were born, you cried so loudly, like a little boy. Too bad you turned out to be a little girl!”对我的父母来说,我的到来是一件大事。当时妈妈去照超音波,医生说应该是个男孩。爸爸听到这个消息非常开心,觉得第一胎就是儿子,这对家庭来说是很大的祝福。可是,当我出生那一刻,他看到其实是个女孩,他的表情据说变得有点复杂。后来他常常笑着回忆说:“妳一出生就哭得特别大声,像个小男孩,可惜偏偏是个小丫头!”As a child, my cries were especially loud—so loud they felt like they could blow the roof off. My father often joked, “Your crying drove me crazy! I almost wanted to throw you out of the window a few times!” Of course, my mother always stopped him. Looking back now, I realize that was just my father's unique sense of humor.我小时候的哭声特别响,常常哭到好像要把屋顶掀翻一样。爸爸还常开玩笑说:“我都被妳哭到快崩溃了,几次差点想把妳丢出窗外!”当然这句话每次都会被妈妈阻止。现在回头想,那其实是爸爸独特的幽默。I weighed over four kilograms at birth, truly a “giant baby.” My mother suffered greatly in labor because she gave birth naturally, and she was completely exhausted afterward. What's more, since she had taken some Chinese medicine during pregnancy, I was born covered in golden hair. My father joked that I looked like a “little golden monkey.” Though everyone found it funny at the time, no one could deny that I was a healthy and adorable baby.我出生的时候超过四公斤,是个名副其实的“巨婴”。妈妈为了自然产吃了不少苦,生完累坏了。而且因为她怀孕时吃了太多补品,我一出生全身披着一层金色胎毛,爸爸笑说我像一只“金毛猴子”。虽然当时大家都觉得好笑,但没有人能否认——我是一个健康又可爱的宝宝。My father was a straightforward man and carried a bit of the traditional preference for boys over girls. He often teased me by saying I had been picked up from a garbage heap, which made me angry and cry. Every time, he had to coax me for a long while until I forgave him. As a child, those words hurt, but as I grew older, I realized that was his clumsy way of showing love. Especially in his later years, he would often say: “You and your older sister are the most thoughtful. If I had known earlier, I would have had more daughters.” Those words always warmed my heart.爸爸的性格很直接,也带着一点传统的重男轻女观念。他常常说我是从垃圾堆捡回来的,逗得我气哭。每次都要他哄很久我才会破涕为笑。小时候这些话真的会让我受伤,可是长大以后我才慢慢明白,那是他笨拙表达爱的方式。特别是在他晚年的时候,他常对我说:“妳和妳姐姐最贴心,早知道就多生几个女儿了。”这句话总是让我觉得很温暖。Now, when I look back, my name, my birth, and these little stories are all part of the very beginning of my life. They are not just pieces of family memory but also reminders that each of us was welcomed into this world within a specific time and cultural background. These memories have accompanied me to this day and have become the foundation of my understanding of family and culture.现在回想,我的名字、我的出生、还有这些小故事,都是我生命最初的起点。它们不只是家族记忆的一部分,也提醒我:我们每个人都是在特定的时代背景里被迎接到这个世界的。这些记忆陪我走到今天,也成为我理解家庭和文化的基石。Thank you for walking with me through my birth story today. As you listen, I hope you can also recall the moment you first came into this world, and how your family welcomed you in their own way.谢谢妳今天和我一起走进我的出生故事。希望妳在听的时候,也能回想起自己来到这个世界的那一刻,还有妳的家人,如何用他们的方式迎接妳。我的网站:flywithlily.com

Send us a textWhat happens when you strip commerce down to its essence? In this thought-provoking conversation between industry veterans, we explore the fundamental truth that all business boils down to two people exchanging value—and everything else is just overhead.Steve Clegg opens with a powerful framework: the economy only functions through human exchange, yet we've built towering hierarchies of "rent-seekers" atop these simple transactions. Through cryptocurrency and AI, he envisions a future where these layers disappear, returning power to buyers and sellers. His work with Zentoro has achieved remarkable 98% accuracy in predicting customer retention through transaction patterns, revealing that frequency matters far more than transaction value.Venky Lakshminarayanan brings his expertise in value management, describing it as "orchestrating business functions to maximize customer value." He challenges listeners to question whether they truly understand what problems they're solving for customers. His insights on how value differs between enterprises (revenue, profits) and individuals (recognition, quality of life) provide a framework for aligning business objectives with human needs.Nick Mavrick from Built Data completes the picture by exposing how poorly most organizations support their field personnel with actionable market intelligence. He describes a world where salespeople lack basic knowledge about customer prioritization and market coverage, resulting in missed opportunities and frustration on both sides of the transaction.Among the most practical revelations is the "50-50 rule"—research showing that conversations where both parties speak equally are dramatically more likely to result in action. This golden ratio applies whether you're a doctor with patients, a manager with employees, or a salesperson with customers.The discussion also touches on the legacy burden of enterprise systems like CRMs, which have become expensive obstacles rather than value creators. As AI enables more agile alternatives at a fraction of the cost, businesses face a critical decision point: continue with systems that deliver poor ROI, or embrace transformation?Whether you're reconsidering your business model, evaluating technology investments, or simply trying to better understand customer behavior, this conversation offers clarity on what truly drives successful commerce in today's complex environment.

Send us a textTechnological revolutions come and go, but the fourth industrial revolution – powered by artificial intelligence – promises to transform business in ways we're only beginning to comprehend. In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how organizations can harness AI's potential through value-based implementation strategies with Venkat Lakshminarayanan, author of "AI-Driven Value Management."The discussion quickly moves beyond surface-level AI applications to explore what Venkat calls "meta-level thinking" – the ability to discover solutions to problems we don't yet know exist. This cognitive framework represents perhaps the most valuable skill in navigating technological disruption: "Knowledge of what you don't know is the ultimate knowledge."For business leaders, the stakes couldn't be higher. As Ron points out, approximately 50% of businesses in the construction equipment channel disappear every 20 years. Those who fail to adapt – even while currently profitable – eventually become obsolete. The central question isn't whether to adopt AI but how to implement it in ways that deliver measurable value.Venkat's approach begins with discovery – understanding customer challenges before proposing solutions. This value conversation connects business objectives directly to quantifiable outcomes like increased revenue, reduced costs, and mitigated risks. What once required "hundreds of millions of dollars" in consulting, research, and specialized tools can now be accomplished more efficiently through AI-powered systems.The conversation takes a personal turn when discussing AI literacy as individual responsibility. Through the example of an overworked teacher, we see how AI can eliminate administrative burdens and create space for more meaningful work and family time. This represents the human side of technological advancement – not replacing people but liberating them from tasks that prevent them from realizing their potential.Whether you're a business leader navigating industry transformation or an individual seeking to develop AI literacy, this conversation offers valuable insights for thriving in an age of unprecedented technological change. The path forward isn't about technology for technology's sake but about aligning innovation with genuine human needs and measurable business value.Ready to transform your approach to AI implementation?

The fastest rent growth is in San Francisco (4.6%), Fresno (4.6%), and Chicago (4%), while Austin (-6.8%), Denver (-5%), and Phoenix (-4.1%) show declines.  GRE Coach, Naresh Vissa, joins the conversation to talk about the administration's focus on lowering rates and the potential for higher inflation as a result. He encourages investors to stay informed and take advantage of opportunities when rates are low.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:18   You Keith, welcome to GRE from Whippany New Jersey to Parsippany New Jersey. Not much distance there and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to this week's episode of Get rich education, where it's not just about your ROI. It's about your roti, your return on time invested, and your return on life. Everyone says that population growth is what drives rents, yes, but that's just one part of it, and it probably isn't even the most important factor. There is evidence of this, from Harvard research to what HUD has found. Austin, Texas recently added 500,000 people, rents spiked, and then supply flooded in and rents stalled. Head count wasn't enough. I discussed that in depth when I walked the streets of Austin last year. San Francisco lost population, but yet rents rebounded and remain among the highest in the nation. Harvard's housing research shows that population growth only has a weak correlation with rent growth. So what actually does drive rents? Well, income growth, supply constraints, and then staying under the 30% affordability ceiling, which is HUD's definition of what a cost burdened household is, right? That means that a tenant spends more than 30% of their income on rent. That is cost burden, and this pattern holds from ancient Rome to modern Manhattan, rents follow paychecks, not head counts and on the supply side, well, not all metros are created equal. Some have quantified it with what's called a supply elasticity score, places like Houston can seemingly build endlessly, while Manhattan and San Francisco cannot. So it's that difference that explains why incomes turn into rent growth in one market but not in the other. So if you're chasing fast growing metros, okay, but be careful, because headcount does not equal pricing power. Paychecks are what do well today, rents are falling in boom towns, but they're climbing in what we would call legacy, established metros, the year over year, rent change across US, metro areas really has a striking contrast. The three with the fastest rent growth are San Francisco up 4.6% Fresno also up 4.6% and Chicago up 4% and the three biggest declines in rent are Austin down 6.8% Denver down 5% and Phoenix Down 4.1% rent contraction in those three cities. And here's the problem during that 2020, to 2022, real estate surge. Years ago, investors piled into Sun Belt markets, and they sort of expected this endless growth, but then new supply flooded Austin, Phoenix and Denver, pushing rents down and vacancies up, and all three of those are cities that I visited during the boom and I saw the. Cranes in the air myself, and yet, at the same time, older supply constrained metros, like in the northeast, in Chicago and in San Francisco, they are quietly regaining momentum. That's where demand is steady. Construction is limited, and that's why rents are ticking higher. So this is why, like I've talked about before, it's good for you to invest in some Sunbelt areas, say, like Florida and then others that have this steady demand, like, say, a place in Ohio. And it's worth pointing out, too, how unusual it is that a city like Austin has a 6.8% rent contraction. We all know that housing prices are more stable than stocks, sure, but real estate rents are even more stable than housing prices, so this rent aberration that was caused by such wild overbuilding in Austin. Now, I recently attended a presentation on the rental housing market. It was put together by John Burns. He's the one that presented it, and he's the owner of the eponymous John Burns research and consulting. And people pay good money to attend these presentations, and he's a guy worth listening to, always with good housing market insights, and some of his insights while they're the same ones I've shared with you for a while, like how there's been a persistent lack of housing supply in the Northeast and Midwest, and still an abundant supply in the south. The Northeast is the only region of the nation that's adding more jobs than new homes at this time, the top amenities that tenants want today are a driveway in a yard. Pretty simple things. They're not a pool in a clubhouse. They're a driveway in a yard. And if you think about them, it totally makes sense, and that's why single family rentals have become such a booming industry, because that's where tenants are getting a driveway and a yard and burns. Also pointed out that most US job growth is in low income jobs. The presentation talked mostly in terms of headwinds versus tailwinds. Lower immigration. Well, that's a headwind. That's a bad thing for real estate investing, since immigrants tend to be renters. The tailwinds The good thing that includes less future supply coming out of the market, fewer apartments and fewer build to rent, deliveries coming online, fewer being added between today and 2028 and another positive for the next two decades at least, is the fact that since people are having fewer kids, that makes people less likely to settle down, buy a home and need a good school district. Well, that is good for people renting longer, longer tenancy durations, and John Burns also spotlighted how building material cost inflation is up 40% from pre pandemic times fully 40% more in material costs. But that Spike has since flattened out. However, it is just another reason why home prices can't really fall substantially. Today's prices are baked in, and his summary overall is to be bullish and bet on the tailwinds those real estate investing positives that is mostly due to future rent growth because the new supply is going away, and it's going to continue to stay difficult to buy a home, more rent growth, and that's the end of what he had to say. So as you're out there, targeting the right areas and renters for your properties, I've talked before about how new build rental property is a sweet spot, since your builder will often buy down your mortgage rate. For you, new build is where you can attract a good quality tenant. Look for a moment, just forget finding a tenant that can just barely afford your unit because they're spending 30 to 33% of their income to pay you rent, because, see, in that condition, there's no room for you to get a rent increase. If you can offer great value to your residents and target a 10 to 15% rent to income ratio, aha, you are really in good shape, because the easiest rent growth is retaining happy residents that are conditioned to accept 5% rent increases. Well, that is more likely in a nice new build property. That's where you attract a better tenant. And if they were to move out, they would have to take a lesser property so they will stay and pay the rent in. Increase, and they're going to have the capacity to do so when the rent is only 10 to 20% of their income.    Keith Weinhold  5:25   Now, when we talk about a major factor that trickles down to rents, the level of inflation, a lot of this comes down to the Fed chair and even the president, to some extent. And you know what's interesting, half the nation bashes whoever is president, and the entire nation bashes whoever is the Fed chair. Look, every recent Fed Chair has been maligned and bashed more than a pinata at a toddler's birthday party, bashed open more than an umpire at a little league game. Well, since 1980 there have been five of them, Volker, then Greenspan, then Bernanke, then Yellen and now Jerome Powell, most of that group is known for substantially lowering interest rates, yet they've remained unpopular anyway. And you know the irony here? The most popular of these five is Paul Volcker. He's the only Fed chair that's celebrated, and yet he jacked rates in the 1980s to up near 20% yes, 20% he really made borrowers feel the pain, but yet he's the only guy that's celebrated, because that's how he stomped that out of control inflation fire, 45 years ago, in 1981 mortgage rates peaked between 18 and 19% yet Somehow he's the Fed share that we celebrate? Well, here in more modern times, will the Fed eventually have to do the same thing? This is because Trump wants inflation now. The short term, talk is about lowering interest rates, but there are so many inflationary forces that you've got to wonder about how interest rates could very well go much higher later to get on top of this inflation that I'm telling you Trump actually wants. Now, of course, no one is going to come out and explicitly say that they want inflation, but that is now so implied, there are a ton of policies that the administration favors that are super inflationary. Some are a little deflationary, like deregulation, but they are overwhelmingly inflationary. Look tariffs, that's inflation on goods, mass deportations, that's labor inflation, reshaping the Fed in order to lower rates. That's inflation, the one big, beautiful bill, act that's lots of spending and largely inflationary. I'm telling you, Trump wants inflation now I'm not here to evaluate these policies for being good or bad. This is about policies, not politics, and understand it's not just the US government. It's every government everywhere that secretly wants inflation. And why do they want that? Well, first, it fuels spending. If you know that your dollars are going to shrink in purchasing power tomorrow, well then you're going to spend today, and consumer spending makes up 68% of us. GDP, yes, Amazon, thanks, you. Secondly, inflation shrinks the government's debt. The third reason that governments everywhere want inflation is because it foils deflation. In a deflationary world, people hoard cash like its gold bullion, tax revenue dries up and the economy stalls, and also inflation. It facilitates wage adjustments. It helps the labor market function. If economic conditions are weak, well, then employers can implement real wage cuts just by keeping salaries flat right where they're at. I mean, that is so preferable to cutting nominal wages directly and giving employees a pay cut notice. Everyone hates seeing that. So those are what four big reasons why governments will take their gloves off and fight in a steel cage match to the death to ensure inflation. So most expect a rate cut at the Feds meeting next week. But if this continues and there were massive cuts, you know, there's something else you've got to ask yourself, do you really want to live in an economy where massive rate cuts occur. I mean, that's what the 2008 global financial crisis and the covid pandemic in 2020 brought to us. So massive cuts mean there's some giant problem out there. Therefore, although the Trump and Powell rivalry, it might make you. Interesting theater and headlines. You know, let's not get carried away. Let's put things in perspective. What matters to you more is how many dollars you're leveraging, the efficiency of your property operations and the quality of your business relationships. Really, the bottom line is that fed tweaks are background noise inflation, that is the long term engine that makes your real estate profitable. Focus there, and let the politicians keep doing the yelling concerns about ongoing inflation and what that means for real estate investors, that's next. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to get rich education.    Keith Weinhold  8:57   The same place where I get my own mortgage loans is where you can get yours. Ridge lending group and MLS, 42056, they provided our listeners with more loans than anyone because they specialize in income properties. They help you build a long term plan for growing your real estate empire with leverage. Start your prequel and even chat with President Chaley Ridge personally while it's on your mind, start at Ridge lendinggroup.com. That's Ridge lendinggroup.com.    Keith Weinhold  8:57   You know what's crazy your bank is getting rich off of you. The average savings account pays less than 1% it's like laughable. Meanwhile, if your money isn't making at least 4% you're losing to inflation. That's why I started putting my own money into the FFI liquidity fund. It's super simple. Your cash can pull in up to 8% returns, and it compounds. It's not some high risk gamble like digital or AI stock trading. It's pretty low risk because they've got a 10 plus year track record of paying investors on time in full every time. I mean, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't invested myself. You can invest as little as 25k and you keep earning until you decide you want your money back, no weird lockups or anything like that. So if you're like me and tired of your liquid funds just sitting there doing nothing, check it out. Text family. 266, 866, to learn about freedom. Family investments, liquidity fund again.

It's an in house discussion here with our own GRE investment coach since 2021 he's helped you completely free, usually over the phone, learning your own personal goals and then helping you find the market that's the right fit for you, and even help connect you with the exact property address that helps you win the inflation Triple Crown, like say, 321, Mulberry Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They say that formal education will make you a living self education will make you a fortune. Well, he's got them both. He's slinging an MBA, and he's an active real estate investor just like you and I. Hey, welcome back to the show investment coach and race Vista.    Naresh Vissa  18:25   Hey, Keith pleasure, to be back on.    Keith Weinhold  18:27   Inflation is something that affects real estate investors even more so than it does the general public. Since we're borrowing large sums of money and the inflation discussion sure has been interesting lately, you just can't quite get rates back down to 2% still, they've been elevated for years. So talk to us from your vantage point about inflation and future inflation concerns.   Naresh Vissa  18:51   Well, Keith, I am concerned about inflation. This is the first time in a year or so that I'm concerned with the direction and with the policy surrounding inflation, here's why. And I brought this up when I was on your podcast in July, the current administration is not talking at all about the fact that inflation is rising. We saw the CPI, for example, hit 2.3% which was four year low earlier this year, and since then, inflation has gone up. That is concerning, that inflation is going back up without any rate cuts. Yet it's gone back, I don't want to say gone back up, but it's gone up. And remember, the Federal Reserve inflation target is 2% so we want to get as close to 2% as possible. And the number one issue in the 2024 election, and the number one issue today is still the cost of everything is right, is too much, which we'll talk about, from gas prices to home values to rents to grocery that's the. Big one, the cost of groceries, the stuff that you buy at grocery stores, etc, everything is just too expensive. Of course, education, you name, childcare, everything is just too expensive. Inflation is still, I think the administration needs to really tackle this problem. They need to really, really tackle it, because it is the number one issue. It is what people essentially, their vote is, is based on it's not necessarily based on some peace agreement in a foreign nation. It's not based on some social issue. The number one issue is going to be this inflation problem. It's are things affordable? Do I have money in my bank account to pay for X, Y and Z? So I am concerned because, yes, tariffs are inflationary. That's kind of common sense. Now I think tariffs can be good. Tariffs can keep inflation in check. If they're handled the right way, we will see that. But my bigger concern is that inflation has been rising. We're not anywhere close to that 2% and we know with a very high degree of certainty that the Federal Reserve is beginning their rate cutting cycle next week with the September rate cut, and that's going to be extended. We've seen President Trump. He's very public, his Treasury Secretary, his Secretary of Commerce, all the economic advisors who he has, they're very transparent about the fact that they want rates slashed, and they want rates slashed quickly. And so we know that we're going to get a rate this is going to be a rate slashing cycle. It's going to be great for the upper class, if you want to call it, it's going to be great for real estate investors, but for the common man, the byproduct of that is going to be higher inflation. There's just no way that you can cut rates so quickly, so low, and you're not going to see inflation. That's my concern. Now on the other hand, and again, we have to see how this plays out. On the other hand, I brought up earlier this year, I've referenced Doge. I think Doge is doing a good job cutting government spending, trying to scale back some of the government initiatives, not that the government's always going to spend we know that, but it's you need to cut back, and doges is trying to do that. That's a plus. But even bigger, I talked about some foreign wars, right? Well, I think that the Middle Eastern conflict and the Russia Ukraine conflict, both of those actually are disinflationary, or fixing those conflicts, creating peace. We've seen a ceasefire in the Middle East. We've seen a peace agreement in Ukraine, and they're disinflationary because of some of the items that I brought up. I think oil is going to dip below $50 a barrel as a result of these peace agreements, these ceasefires. So we're going to see oil prices go down. When you see oil and energy prices go down, you see the cost of almost everything else go down, because you need oil and energy to transport everything else. If you're building a house, you have wood and steel and lumber and and all sorts of materials. And it's you need a truck to transport all that. And the truck is probably it's not an EV truck. You're getting these big trucks that are using diesel fuel. So if we can bring down the cost of of oil and gas and electricity, which these taking care of these conflicts will do, creating peace will do the price of those products, oil, the natural gas, the electricity, the wheat, the grains, those are your groceries. The cost of those are going to come down. So I think it's very positive what we're seeing with this idea of peace in regions that make a huge difference to the global economy. So I'm curious to see, like I think we could see greater than 100 basis point decrease in inflation just by solving these conflicts 1% or more, like I legitimately think so, and that's without the tariffs. That's without the federal rate cut. So even if we're at, let's say, two and a half percent inflation today, and you shave off 100 basis points up now you're at one and a half, and then you throw in tariff inflation, you throw in the rate cut inflation, and we're around 2% so that's the ideal scenario that the administration is hoping for. It's let's create peace, let's have a freer market, and then they can scale back a lot of these tariffs too, because many of these tariffs against India, for example, they can scale back the United States can scale back the 50% tariff on India. That tariff was India got hit with because they're buying Russian oil, and you take care of the Russia conflict. Now it's we say, oh, India, you know, we'll scale back to go back to your 25% tariff, or maybe even less, if you do X, Y and Z. For us, we can expect to see many of these tariffs scaled back. We can expect to see the price of specific goods and services, the prices decrease, which will bring down inflation. That's what I'm optimistic about. Hopefully all these agreements hold, which I think they will, and we can expect that, and the Fed can begin its rate cutting cycle, and everything will be booming, and everything will be great. This is the. Deal scenario. I'm not predicting this. This is the ideal scenario for the administration,   Keith Weinhold  25:05   when both war and terrorists get as bad as they can possibly get. From there, they can only get better, each of which would be disinflationary. Now, the CPI inflation has been reported at 2.7% each of the past two months. But when we talk about rates, Trump wants lower rates, of course, and I think we all know that the Fed's fear of lowering rates is that high inflation could resurface. One thing though, that few think about is that lower rates lead to higher inflation, which kills off the national debt faster. But when we think about upcoming federal reserve rate cuts anytime, whether this was 10 years ago today or 10 years into the future, these are the type of lessons that I like to talk about. All right, when we look at the last Fed meeting, there was no rate cut, but then awful jobs numbers were reported right after that. That's why some think that there could be a 50 point rate cut at the next meeting. The Fed meets eight times a year, so there's about a month and a half between meetings. Now, the Fed doesn't have to wait for a meeting to make a rate cut. They can do an emergency rate cut between meetings, like we saw during covid, but sometimes they're reluctant to do that because that really spooks markets, and that makes people think, oh my gosh, there was an emergency rate cut. Maybe things are worse than we thought. What's going on that triggers concern?   Naresh Vissa  26:24   Well, I think that would be a huge mistake to have an emergency. Yeah, anatomic was obviously an emergency. That was a global emergency. Makes sense. 2008 I remember, I was just college student, but that was an emergency because we saw people lining up on the streets of Manhattan with all their boxes of laid off work, and we saw that on Phoebe. You know, that was a trying time. I think that's out of the question. It's completely unnecessary, especially when the Fed meets every 45 to 50 days. It's, you know, you can wait another 20 days until the next meeting and then make a decision when you have lower rates than the cost, the borrowing costs on the debt, it goes down so the government can refinance its debt, and they would pay less keyword interest dollars. That's a plus, the other plus with tariffs. And I really hope, again, this is just my opinion. I hope this is what happens. But the government is raising quite a lot of tariff revenue, so close to $30 billion last month. And we can expect, in the first full year, next year, it's going to have raised close to half a trillion dollars just for fiscal year 2026 that's the expectation, about half trillion dollars worth of tariff revenue. And I hope that the government uses that pair of revenue to pay down the debt, because when you're paying down the debt, you're dissipating inflation. What I actually don't want them to do is to give us back that money, because they've been floating that around, saying, Oh, we got all this tariff revenue. Let's get it back as a tariff dividend, and every American gets hex, you know, $100 in their bank account or something   Keith Weinhold  28:01   very altruistic. Of you patriotic,   Naresh Vissa  28:04   I would much rather that they use 100% of it to pay down that debt, because the country is going to be better off as a whole over the long term, and in turn, the people will be better off over the long term. The people may not see it. They may want their $200 check or $100 check or whatever it might be, but over the long term, I think the tariffs are overall working out quite well. We're not seeing the crazy inflation that the mainstream expert predicted. I don't think we're going to see the crazy inflation that the experts predicted, if you it's not going to be because of the tariffs, in my opinion, I think it's going to be if there's this aggressive rate cutting cycle that juices the markets and the cost of everything just just goes up. And this ties into real estate investing, because when the Fed starts cutting, that's a very good time for real estate investors to pay attention when the Fed stops cutting immediately. That's a an even better time to pay attention when the rates have bottomed. And this has to deal with timing the real estate market. I'll give you an example. I own several properties. Of one of my properties when the Fed was cutting in 2020 it took about a year for all those cuts to permeate into the mortgage market and into the the market as a whole. It took it. The inflation didn't go up overnight. The inflation didn't go up in April of 2020 or or May of 2020 it went up in April of 2021, it took about a year. So I actually refinanced one of my properties in July of 2021, I refinanced my my property, and I saved about 110 basis points on that refinance. And that's what I mean by timing the market. Because, if you're paying attention, part of it was I knew, Okay, the Fed has stopped. It's cutting. And you know, let's follow the more. Good market. Let's follow the Treasury yield curve and all that. And I jumped in. I literally refinanced at the bottom, like at the absolute bottom. There was about a three month window that was the bottom, and I refinanced. I did the application all that at the beginning of those three months, and it was and I got that great rate at the end of those three months. And I think there's going to be a tremendous opportunity for real estate investors. And I'm sure the Bane This is why I'm a little concerned about inflation as well, because the big hedge funds, the big real estate investment firms, the big banks, the blackstones, the blackrocks, they're going to be ready, and they're going to buy up. They're going to buy up real estate again, and investors, including our GRE investors, they're going to start buying up too. So pay attention. We're going to cover it here. We're going to cover it here, on the podcast and in the newsletter. But pay attention to these rates, because it'll be, I don't want to say, a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it will be a once in a cycle type of opportunity to jump in and get some bottoming real estate values as well as bottoming real estate mortgage rates at the same time. So that equilibrium point is only, like I said, about three or four months long. So we're going to be coming to that point and timing it sometime, I think next year, 2026   Keith Weinhold  31:21   talk to us about the vibe that you're getting from GRE listeners that contact you for a free coaching session. It's really hard to time the real estate market. Why don't you help us out with that? Let us know about a listener or two that you recently helped.   Naresh Vissa  31:37   Well, we have free real estate investment coaching here at GRE. It's absolutely free of charge. You can call, text me, email me whenever you'd like. People can book a free meeting with me, and it's a session. It's an immersive session on real estate investing. So we can go over all of that on our call. You can reach out to me unlimited times, like I said, it's I'm here just to help you throughout and along your real estate investment journey, I've helped hundreds of people invest in real estate, hundreds so it's buying turnkey, cash flowing real estate properties, so our investors can buy properties, and use my guidance and advice to help them buy properties. I also help them if they already own properties, how to optimize their portfolio, how to find new markets. I help them with their existing properties, dealing with property managers, with contractors, even with issues that things aren't always great in real estate, sometimes things can be bad. So listener Paul, for example. Listener Paul, he had a problem with the builder, and he submitted earnest money, and he wanted his earnest money back. Many, many years had gone by, and he came to me and he said, Hey, Naresh, you know, I've got all this money tied up, and the builder's not giving me the money back. Can you help me? And so I got him in touch with the right people, and within three or four months, he got all of his money back, plus interest on all the missed payments. So he got everything back as a lump sum, and then he thanked me and said, Thank you so much. I can sleep better at night, and I'm just I'm doing very well now, and he was ready to buy his next property.   Keith Weinhold  33:15   That's an example of where a deal went wrong and the builder didn't perform and build a property.   Naresh Vissa  33:19   Yes, exactly. Think of me as a trusted advisor, but also as a super connector, someone who can get you in touch with all the right companies and people to make real estate investing very sound. We have listener Joe, who bought many properties through us. He bought his first property through me and through GRE through our coaching program, and that first property worked out really well. So then he said, Hey, I want to buy a second property about six months later. So he bought a second property, and that worked out well. And then he said, let's go with it. And he bought all these with the same provider. So once he reached four, because my rule is, you don't want to go more than four or five in one market. Then he asked me for the next he said, what market do you recommend next? So then I recommended the next market, and then he bought another three or four in that market, and he built a nice little portfolio of seven or I mean, some people think it's little, some people think it's big, of seven or eight properties. So that's very common with the coaching program, where our listeners are really happy. If things are going great, I'm here for them. If things are not going the way that they expected, I'm here to help fix that problem.   Keith Weinhold  34:30   Maurice, is there to help you start building and grow a portfolio. Now, how do you yourself analyze deals and find properties before you let our listeners know about them?   Naresh Vissa  34:40   Well, we work with 15 to 20 different providers around the country, 15 to 20. So these providers are always reaching out to me, emailing me, calling me, leading me voicemails, texting me, saying we've got this great deal. We've got this great incentive. So I parse through all of that, and I find a handful of what I think is best. US and many of these deals, I send them to you, Keith, to promote in your Don't quit your Daydream newsletter, which people can subscribe if they go to get rich education.com. I send them there, and I let our listeners know on the phone when they set up calls, or I have notes on every meeting. So I'm able to send all of these deals to them, and that's how I put the best deals in front of them.   Keith Weinhold  35:25   Most of the coaching calls are over the phone rather than zoom the race. Sure can arrange a zoom call with you if you prefer. You really don't need to do too much to prepare for the call either.   Naresh Vissa  35:38   No, not at all. Just sign up for the meeting, and I'll run things. I'll run the meeting, I'll run the call. It's very straightforward. It's a session. It's very immersive, very interactive.   Keith Weinhold  35:49   Yeah, and you just have to book a time with Naresh once there and afterward. Yeah, it's really casual. Naresh is very open to you text messaging him if you have any ideas, or if you just heard about something on the show that you want to know more of. But yeah, booking that first coaching call is really what opens the door to the communication. And you really staying up to date on things. You can find a race through GRE marketplace. And alternatively, you can learn more about him with his bio. And importantly, book a time on his calendar by going directly to GREinvestment coach.com for a while now he's had times available Monday through Friday, and even some weekend slots available, and yeah, keep in touch with him, because property inventory is ever changing, especially with late breaking news like we've had this year of Home Builders Offering major incentives like buying down your mortgage rate to about 5% so staying up to date has hopefully brought you, the listeners, some really big wins already this year. Naresh, do you have any last thoughts?   Naresh Vissa  35:49   Definitely book a meeting with me. You won't regret it. I think even if you think that you own all these properties, you have all this experience, I think you'll find that the resources we offer it through our free coaching program, there will be one or two nuggets that you didn't know about that will still help you. So it doesn't harm anybody to book that free session with me. If you don't think you need my help, maybe it's just a five minute call and we touch base and we're good to go. That's fine too, but I highly recommend that people get in touch with me. We go from there so that you can continue to have a fruitful investment journey.   Keith Weinhold  37:28   Naresh has been valuable as always. Thanks for coming back out of the show.    Naresh Vissa  37:31   Thank you very much, Keith.   Keith Weinhold  37:38   Yeah, some sharp insight from Naresh as always. Now, when you think about making your next property move, consider how, compared to a few years ago, uncertainty has largely abated and real estate has stabilized. Think about how back in 2020 covid was the big uncertainty concern 2021 it was this real estate boom and an inventory shortage. You would get 50 or 80 offers on one property, and buyers were waiving inspections. That was tough. That was such a seller's market in 2022 that's when you had inflation and the supply chain chaos. That's when CPI inflation peaked at 9.1% in 2023 the big uncertainty concern was interest rate shock and the affordability crisis. And last year and this year, they've pivoted more to macro economic concerns. So therefore today's chief concern gets somewhat more buffered from real estate. Now I discussed the direction of rents earlier in today's show, the recently released Kay Shiller numbers came out, and they show that national home prices are up almost 2% annually, 13 cities or higher and seven or lower. By the way, this continued nominal price appreciation that frustrates the bejesus out of those perpetually wrong crash predictors. They have been wrong even longer than the people waiting for flying cars to show up. And where will prices continue to go from here, probably even higher now, America just hit somewhat of a milestone in this cycle. You might remember that mortgage rates peaked at 7.8% almost two years ago. Well, mortgage rates have now slid down to six and a half 6.5% and here's why this has become significant, right? Just compared to when rates were 7% per the nar 2.8 million Americans now qualify to buy a home. 5.5 million more will qualify at 6% and 7.7 more will qualify at five and a half percent. My gosh. Now. Now, of course, not every newly qualified buyer is going to pounce on a property, but only if a fraction of those do. Can you imagine how this demand increase will stoke prices? There are still only about 1.1 million homes available today. So not only are mortgage rates at a fresh low, but inventory choices, although they're still historically low, they are now at a six year high, and this is all while there's less buyer competition. So today's buyer conditions are really improving, and the bottom line here is that you are in the best position in more than five years to find the right property while still avoiding a bidding war, you have really got some properties to choose from. That is the takeaway, and you don't need to do much to prepare for an immersive free call with Naresh. You know what your situation is, although you probably do want to have about a 20% down payment for a property ready to go, some of which cost as little as 200k in these investor advantage markets, whether you've never bought any property in your life, or if you have dozens, it probably will benefit you. You can easily book a time that works best for you right on a GRE investment coaches calendar that way. There's no back and forth, and you can set it up now.

Send us a textThe talent crisis in heavy equipment has reached a critical point. In this eye-opening conversation, recruiting veteran Jay Lucas reveals why technicians remain the industry's Achilles heel and how leadership failures are exacerbating the problem.Drawing from 30 years of experience and thousands of candidate interviews, Lucas offers a rare glimpse into why people leave equipment dealerships and what separates thriving organizations from struggling ones. His unique position as both industry insider and talent specialist allows him to identify blind spots that most executives miss."AI will never turn a wrench," Lucas asserts, highlighting that while artificial intelligence threatens some white-collar positions, the demand for skilled technicians continues to outstrip supply. Yet dealerships continue operating as they did decades ago – forcing technicians to waste valuable time standing at parts counters rather than leveraging technology to order parts from their service bays.The conversation shifts to leadership challenges, revealing how many executives reached their positions through technical prowess or sales success rather than management ability. Lucas makes a compelling case for outsourcing non-core functions like recruitment and HR administration while focusing internal resources on strategic talent management that aligns with business objectives.Perhaps most provocatively, Lucas and host Rod Sutton discuss why employee engagement surveys often backfire when leadership fails to act on feedback, creating cynicism rather than improvement. They explore the parallels between Amazon's disruption of book retail and the opportunities for similar transformation in equipment distribution.Whether you're a dealer principal, department manager, or aspiring leader in the equipment industry, this conversation provides actionable insights on balancing tactical operations with strategic thinking about your most valuable asset – your people.

Send us a textThe economic revolution we've been waiting for isn't just coming—it's already here. In this eye-opening conversation, Steve Clegg brings decades of financial expertise to explain how artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency are fundamentally restructuring global commerce by eliminating the layers of middlemen that have traditionally absorbed 20-30% of transaction value.Clegg's journey through international finance began in 1974 when, as a 24-year-old University of Chicago graduate, he wrote a paper identifying the three fundamental challenges of global commerce: exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate differences, and local pricing disparities. That paper caught the attention of Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns, launching Clegg into a career managing foreign exchange for major corporations. Now, nearly five decades later, he's watching cryptocurrency solve those exact problems he identified as a young economist.What makes this discussion truly compelling is how it connects technological innovation to fundamental economic principles. "There's no such thing as one-hand clapping," Clegg explains. "It requires two people exchanging goods and services." This core transaction—buyer and seller—has remained constant throughout human history, but the systems built around it have grown increasingly complex and extractive. AI and blockchain technology are now enabling a "great inversion," where technology supports rather than exploits commerce.The implications extend far beyond finance. Manufacturing cycles have compressed from years to just seven months. Energy production is becoming decentralized through mini nuclear reactors. Local food production via hydroponics eliminates transportation costs that typically account for 50% of food prices. These advancements suggest a future where communities can become more self-sufficient economic entities.Whether you're a business owner concerned about staying competitive, an investor trying to understand market trends, or simply someone wondering how these changes will affect your career, this conversation provides valuable perspective on navigating the most significant economic transformation of our lifetimes. The question isn't whether these changes are coming—it's whether you're prepared to adapt.

Send us a textTroy Ottmer brings forty years of dealership experience to a forward-looking conversation about artificial intelligence and its profound impact on the equipment industry. Drawing from his unconventional career path—spanning automotive, medium-duty, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, forestry, and recycling sectors—Troy shares how he's leveraged AI to transform traditional business operations without eliminating jobs.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Troy reveals how he quietly began exploring AI applications around 2020, using it to process vast amounts of data from disparate sources. Rather than replacing employees, Troy's approach creates what he calls "augmented personalities"—empowering people with tools that help them work smarter and more effectively. "I'm not trying to displace people," he emphasizes. "What I'm trying to do is give that person an augmented tool set to be more effective at their job, because then they get a happier employee experience and better customer experience."Particularly compelling is Troy's practical approach to AI implementation in dealerships. He advocates for horizontal integration across departments followed by vertical deepening within each, approaching transformation iteratively rather than attempting overnight change. This measured strategy helps businesses avoid the pitfalls of hasty implementation while still making meaningful progress. Troy shares how these approaches have delivered tangible results, such as improving inventory turns from industry standards of 2-3 to an impressive 6+ through data-driven management.The discussion also addresses broader implications, including projections that AI and robotics could reduce the American workforce by 50% by 2030. This reality underscores why Troy's human-centered approach to technology matters so much—focusing on augmentation rather than replacement. Whether you're a dealership executive contemplating AI adoption, a parts and service manager looking to improve operational efficiency, or simply curious about how traditional industries are navigating technological transformation, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating a future where technology enhances rather than replaces human potential.

In this eye-opening conversation with industry veteran Nick Mavrick, we dive deep into how technological advancement, market consolidation, and changing buyer behaviors are reshaping the entire industry."If you continue to do what you've been doing, you will not last the next 20 years. Period. Without any question, without any doubt." This stark warning from our discussion highlights the urgency facing business leaders today as they navigate what some call the Fourth Industrial Revolution.We explore why traditional dealer management systems and CRM implementations so often disappoint, costing millions while delivering minimal value. Nick shares how predictive buyer intelligence can provide a complete picture of customer behavior across rentals, purchases, and parts consumption without competing with existing technology investments. Through real-world examples, including a parts inventory management case that increased return on capital employed from 40% to 165%, we demonstrate how rethinking established practices can yield extraordinary results.The conversation tackles troubling trends in industry consolidation, where approximately half of competitors disappear every 20 years, and examines the growing misalignment between manufacturers and dealers. We discuss how rental companies are capturing increasing market share, how education deficits are creating workforce challenges, and why curiosity and continuous learning have become essential survival skills.Whether you're running a dealership, managing a rental operation, or working for an OEM, this conversation challenges you to question your assumptions and embrace the changes reshaping our industry.

Send us a textThe artificial intelligence revolution isn't coming—it's already here. For equipment dealerships caught in the crossfire of technological disruption, adaptation isn't just recommended; it's essential for survival.When Ron Wilson attended a birthday party and learned that two people's children had recently lost their jobs to AI, it spurred him to investigate how these technologies are transforming our industry. What he discovered challenges conventional thinking: rather than competing against AI, success lies in thoughtful integration of these powerful tools.Throughout our conversation, we explore the real-world implementation of AI across dealership operations. From revolutionizing diagnostics—where machines can now be scanned before a technician arrives—to subscription-based monitoring services that predict failures before they occur, AI is reshaping customer expectations and service delivery. One dealership's monitoring team identified a pattern where an excavator overheated consistently during shift changes when less experienced operators took control, saving the customer significant downtime and troubleshooting costs.The human element remains irreplaceable, however. Jobs requiring emotional intelligence and customer service skills still require the personal touch that AI cannot replicate. The challenge lies in effectively managing workforce transition—identifying early adopters who can champion new technologies while helping fence-sitters see the value in adaptation. As experienced employees near retirement, preserving institutional knowledge becomes increasingly critical.Whether you're actively implementing AI solutions or just beginning to explore possibilities, this conversation provides practical insights for navigating the changing landscape.

The Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are now closed to make way for Walt Disney World's newest expansion: Piston Peak and Villains Land. Construction walls have gone up across Frontierland, and if you're riding the monorail, keep your eyes open—early staging work has already begun and is visible.

Send us a textAre you constantly searching for new growth opportunities while overlooking gold mines within your existing business? In this eye-opening conversation with industry veteran Ron Wilson, we explore how equipment dealerships and service-oriented businesses can substantially increase revenue by looking inward rather than outward.Ron draws from his 37 years of dealership experience to reveal several overlooked strategies that can boost your bottom line without acquiring new customers. We discuss creating specialist service technicians who command premium rates - easily 10-15% higher than standard labor rates - because customers recognize and value their expertise. This specialized approach not only increases revenue but positions your business as the go-to authority in specific service areas.The discussion takes a fascinating turn when we compare labor rates across industries. Why are RV repair shops confidently charging $177 per hour while equipment dealers hesitate at $125? We challenge the outdated pricing models still used by many businesses and explore how "block labor" assignments - dedicating technicians to specific customers for a monthly fee - can create both predictable client relationships and improved administrative efficiency.Perhaps most valuable is our deep dive into using data analytics to identify exactly where you're leaving money on the table. By examining which services current customers aren't buying from you, analyzing sublet work that could be brought in-house, and implementing strategic pricing models, businesses can easily increase revenue by 10-20% within their existing customer base.Whether you run a dealership, service business, or any customer-facing operation, this conversation will transform how you think about business growth. Stop searching for what's over the wall when untapped opportunities are sitting right in front of you. Listen now to discover how to grow your business from within.

The Profitable Path: Transforming Service From Cost Center to Profit Engine

Send us a textWhat if everything you thought about running a service department was backward? That's the provocative question at the heart of this eye-opening conversation with John Dowling, author of "Service by the Boxes" and decorated Marine.The fundamental misconception crippling most equipment dealerships is seeing service as a cost center rather than a profit engine. "Revenue is vanity," John explains, highlighting how dealerships focus on sales while neglecting the departments that truly drive profitability. The transformative insight? A service job isn't complete when the machine is fixed—it's done when the invoice is paid and the money is collected.This mindset shift cascades through every aspect of service management. From customer segmentation (80% of revenue comes from 20% of customers) to abandoning the misguided "first-in-first-out" approach, John challenges conventional wisdom at every turn. Perhaps most surprising is his revelation about maintenance services—the highest-margin work that dealerships have mysteriously surrendered, with industry studies showing a staggering 95% market share loss.The technician shortage plaguing the industry isn't what it seems either. "If we would have been training people and had apprenticeship programs 20 years ago, we wouldn't be here right now," John observes, pointing to decades of mismanagement and underinvestment. The solution involves restructuring shops with team-based approaches that leverage senior technicians as mentors while maximizing efficiency.For service managers transitioning from technical roles to leadership positions, the challenge is shifting from tactical to strategic thinking. Without proper business and leadership training, even the most skilled technicians struggle when promoted to management. As John puts it, "It's a business unit and some of these business units are 20, 30, 40, 50 million dollar, if not 150 million dollar business units."Ready to transform your service department from a cost center to a profit powerhouse?

Sarah got mixed up in a felony and for a second was going to take matters into her own hands and try to apprehend the bandit because she "loves justice." Thankfully she realized Ann Taylor Loft's Loss Prevention isn't worth fighting for. Scientists turned a spider web red, and while we want to be excited we can't figure out why we should care. We discuss our least favorite creatures and we realize Susie's hatred of stink bugs is the insect equivalent of Sarah's fear of things that scurry. We learn the connection between golf courses and a neurological disease. Sarah watched a short film about people who dress up in crane costumes and dance to help the species, and she loves it so much, but Susie can't get past the documentary's name. But the real magic happened at the end of the show when Susie found out the Cheers' actor George Wendt died, and we lose our minds about the crazy coincidence of her finding out today.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/photograph-scandal-turning-point-how-to-be-happyConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDYFor 15% off your order and a special gift, head to https://pacagen.com/braincandyCancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Art Against the Machine: Aida Salazar on Writing for the Resistance

“I lean on my community. I lean on the power of the pen. I lean on remembering who my ancestors are and what they endured, the colonization that they survived in the Americas, I think, ‘we've been here before, and the lineage from which I come is one that is powerful and resistant.' I would be dishonoring that legacy and that lineage if I didn't step up in this moment.” — Aida SalazarAida Salazar believes deeply in the power of words to change the world. For Aida, writing isn't just a creative act; it's a responsibility—an act of honoring her ancestors, healing personal wounds, and empowering her young readers. Her stories like The Moon Within, Land of the Cranes, Jovita Wore Pants, and Ultraviolet center on identity, social justice, and healing, with a particular focus on the immigrant experience. As a poet, novelist, activist, and mother, Aida discusses how writing helped her process grief, how Latin American literature gave her the permission to dream, how growing up in a mixed-status household shaped her, and how motherhood steered her toward children's literature.In this episode, she shares how the act of writing itself has been a huge part of helping her heal and survive difficult chapters in her own story. Plus, she reflects on how a fart poem, a Parker pen, and a punk rock-inspired zine all had unique roles in shaping her journey as a writer.Tune in for an episode that moves from gut-wrenching stories to gut-splitting laughs, the best kind of listening roller coaster!***For her reading challenge, Banned in Middle Grade, Aida curated a list of banned middle-grade books that reflect themes of identity, social justice, and the experiences of young readers navigating complex worlds. Aida is devoted to middle grade literature and wants to amplify the important stories that are so important for those readers. From Melissa by Alex Gino to Ghost Boys by Jewel Parker Rhodes, these titles spark essential conversations.

In this episode of No Tracers, I dive deep into the thrilling world of crane climbing and rooftopping with my guest, RiptideUrbex, a crane climber and rooftopper from the UK. We discuss the adrenaline rush of exploring active sites, the mental barriers he faced when first starting to climb, and the incredible stories that come from pushing his limits. Riptide shares his journey from being terrified of heights to conquering cranes and rooftops, revealing the secrets of the climbing community and the importance of safety and preparation. He also opens up about the risks involved, including encounters with security and the thrill of escaping close calls. This episode is not just about the physical act of climbing; it's about the passion for exploration and the community that comes with it. Whether you're an experienced climber or just curious about the world of urban exploration, this conversation will inspire you to face your fears and seek out new adventures.
