Podcast appearances and mentions of David Holt

Hosts Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler kicked off the week of America's 250th birthday by diving into BYU basketball's historic NBA Draft: AJ Dybantsa became the first Cougar ever taken #1 overall, landing a $69 million rookie deal with the Washington Wizards, while Richie Saunders went 32nd overall to Memphis despite a torn ACL — the first time in 75 years BYU had two players drafted in the first two rounds. Former BYU linebacker and six-year NFL veteran Bryan Kehl joined to give his Big 12 preseason top five (BYU #1, Texas Tech #2, Houston #3, Arizona #4, TCU #5) and discussed four-star WR Blake Wong's commitment to BYU over Ohio State and Oregon.Steeplechase national champion Taylor Lovell joined in studio to recount her dramatic win at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene — a five-and-a-half-second victory run on a shift in mindset toward gratitude and joy in the process. Campus notes covered BYU's #25 Learfield Cup finish (tops in the Big 12), new NCAA five-in-five eligibility rules, Jen Rockwood's pending retirement as BYU's only-ever soccer coach, and BYU alum Brian Rolapp becoming the next PGA Tour commissioner. The show closed with entertaining BYU superfan segments featuring Margie Mettenet — including her story of giving Bear Bachmeier an airport ride — and David Holt via Zoom from Houston.#BYUCougars #BYUSports #YsGuys #WiseGuys #AJDybantsa #NBADraft2026 #BYUBasketball #RichieSaunders #BYUFootball #Big12Football #Big12Preview #TaylorLovell #Steeplechase #NCAATrackAndField #BlakeWong #BYURecruiting #CadeUluave #BryanKehl #CougarNation #StadiumOfFire #LDS Timestamps (approximate):0:03:40 – Show Intro & Stadium of Fire Preview0:07:47 – AJ Dybantsa Goes #1 Overall to Washington0:12:36 – Will Voigt Leaves BYU for Boise State0:14:50 – AJ's $69M Rookie Contract0:16:31 – Richie Saunders: 32nd Overall to Memphis Despite Torn ACL0:19:03 – Vegas Summer League Schedule: AJ & Keba Keita0:20:43 – Athlon Big 12 Preseason All-Team Picks0:21:40 – Blake Wong Commits to BYU Over Ohio State & Oregon0:24:06 – BYU's Incredible Winning Streaks0:28:00 – Bryan Kehl Interview0:43:29 – Bryan Kehl's Big 12 Top 5 Rankings0:50:40 – AJ Dybantsa: Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week0:52:18 – Taylor Lovell: NCAA Steeplechase National Champion1:12:44 – Campus Notes: NCAA Eligibility, Jen Rockwood & More1:17:56 – BYU Superfan Margie Mettenet & the Bear Bachmeier Airport Story1:34:50 – BYU Superfan David Holt from Houston Hosted on Acast.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt — the popular Republican who has won all three of his mayoral elections with at least 60% of the vote — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make an impassioned and deeply substantive case for pluralism as the foundation of the entire American experiment. Holt, who recently gave a notable speech on the subject, argues that the American system was fundamentally built on the acceptance of pluralism and the idea that compromise should produce something "good enough" rather than perfect for any single faction — and that the founders gave us a pretty good system specifically designed to channel disagreement away from political violence. The problem, Holt argues, is that the system is now actively making compromise harder. He points to closed partisan primaries as a central culprit: because he faces all voters rather than a narrow partisan base, he's incentivized to build consensus, but most candidates today are forced to pass bizarre litmus tests with base voters and campaign on culture-war messaging rather than the bread-and-butter issues people actually care about. The conversation broadens into the structural and cultural threats Holt sees to a pluralistic society. He argues this era has revealed the long-ignored flaws in American democracy — that we've all taken the system for granted — and makes the case that getting rid of closed partisan primaries, sometimes through ballot initiatives, is one of the most important reforms available, provided it's done in a way that doesn't simply flip parties or states for partisan advantage but instead empowers minority-party voters to act as genuine swing votes. Holt is sharp on education's role in all of this: he worries that the voucherization of schools and the explosion of private schools risk teaching kids in ideological monocultures, and laments the erosion of civics education over the past two decades, noting that public schools deliberately deemphasized social studies after No Child Left Behind. He and Chuck dig into whether pluralism can even be taught or whether it has to be lived in a genuinely diverse place, the difficulty of having a nuanced public conversation about AI data centers, and the housing crisis that Holt argues is not getting nearly enough attention from either the national media or Washington — closing with a concrete look at what a federal housing bill would actually mean for a fast-growing city like Oklahoma City.

Why is company reputation one of the hardest systems to fix in HVAC? Because homeowners are not just buying equipment. When they are making a major purchase that affects their comfort and requires someone to work inside their home — trust matters! A strong reputation is built when customers feel confident you will follow through and deliver the kind of experience they feel good telling other people about. When a company drops the ball on any aspect of serrvice, that damage can reach far beyond a single job. In this episode of Cracking the Code, David Holt explains why trust still drives homeowner decisions and why reputation remains one of the most valuable assets an HVAC business can build. He shares how business systems, customer experience, and consistent follow-through all play a role in earning referrals, strengthening your brand, and helping your company deliver the results homeowners actually care about.The post The Hardest System to Fix — Your Company Reputation first appeared on My Contractor University | Dashboard.

Is ductwork and poor filtration reducing your HVAC system's value? Most HVAC systems are still being matched to ductwork that was never designed to deliver the comfort, airflow, or air quality homeowners actually need. That creates a hidden problem: even high-efficiency equipment can underperform when the system behind it is not working the way it should. In this episode of Cracking the Code, Drew Cameron joins David Holt to explain why healthy air should be part of every HVAC conversation. From airflow and duct performance to filtration and purification, they break down how improving the full home environment can increase comfort and performance to deliver greater value.The post The Hidden Problem in Most HVAC Systems first appeared on My Contractor University | Dashboard.

What are homeowners really buying when they replace their HVAC system, a box or a better outcome? In a market full of look-a-like equipment and competing claims, contractors who can connect performance, comfort and long-term value are the ones who stand apart. In this episode of Cracking the Code, Anton Martin, Owner of English Air, joins David Holt to talk about what it takes to deliver more than just equipment. From inverter technology and zoning to maintenance agreements and customer communication, Anton shares how contractors can create better comfort, lower utility costs and stronger customer relationships by focusing on the full solution instead of just the installation.The post Position Smarter Systems & Save Customers More first appeared on My Contractor University | Dashboard.
