Recorded back in November, the Minister of Defense for the Black Panther Party talks rednecks and shares his time-tested wisdom with the current social revolutionary movement, warns us of past and coming challenges to our solidarity and solutions to overcome the divide-and-conquer tactics that have separated us for far too long. https://www.blackpantherpartywa.com/https://thepantherparty.com/www.instagram.com/bpp.waSpecial thanks to Nathan Evans Fox for his beautiful song.www.instagram.com/nathan.evans.foxThe Black Panthers Ten Point Program:1. We Want Freedom. We Want Power to Determine the Destiny of Our Black Community.We believe that Black people will not be free until we are able to determine our destiny.2. We Want Full Employment for Our People.3. We Want An End to the Robbery By the Capitalists of Our Black Community.We believe that this racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. 4. We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings.5. We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society.We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world then he has little chance to relate to anything else.6. We Want All Black Men To Be Exempt From Military Service.We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. 7. We Want An Immediate End to Police Brutality and the Murder of Black People.We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense.8. We Want Freedom For All Black Men Held in Federal, State, County and City Prisons and Jails.We believe that all Black People should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.9. We Want All Black People When Brought to Trial To Be Tried In Court By A Jury Of Their Peer Group Or People From Their Black Communities, As Defined By the Constitution of the United States.We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that Black people will receive fair trials. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical, and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black community from which the Black defendant came. We have been, and we are being, tried by all-White juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the Black community.10. We Want Land, Bread, Housing, Education, Clothing, Justice And Peace.When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.#BlackPanthers #history #YoungPatriots #FredHampton #redneck #countrymusic #politics #police #racism #ice #democrats #republican #foxnews #workingclass #chicago #aoc #berniesanders #trump

I heard Aaron Grando drop the term "pretotypes" on Leader Generation this morning and had to hit pause. Three minutes in, I realized I'd been vibe coding for months without knowing there was a name for it. But pretotypes? That's when I knew I had to get him on the show immediately. We're talking about taking your stream-of-consciousness ideas and building working drafts before you've even figured out what you want. For business owners doing $0.5 to 10 million a year, this isn't just another tech trend—it's the shift that stops you from waiting weeks for simple prototypes. Aaron's VP of Creative Innovation at Mod Op, and in this spontaneous follow-up to his Leader Generation episode, we dig into what vibe coding actually means for your bottom line and why small teams are suddenly punching way above their weight class. Action items to consider that tie to this episode: Immediate (This Week) Identify your development bottlenecks - Where are you currently waiting on programmers or outsourced developers? Try a simple test - Pick one small coding need and experiment with ChatGPT or Claude Map your current process - Document how long it takes to go from idea to working prototype Set prompt boundaries - Practice asking AI for logical, non-emotional responses Short-term (Next 30 Days) Assess team capabilities - Identify who on your team has enough coding background to effectively prompt AI tools Start with pretotypes - Use AI to visualize one business idea before investing in full development Test platform limitations - Use AI to check if your ideas are feasible within your current tech stack Calculate current costs - Figure out what you're spending on development delays and outsourcing Medium-term (Next 90 Days) Build AI into your process - Make vibe coding part of your standard ideation workflow Train your team - Get key team members comfortable with AI coding tools Measure time savings - Track how much faster you can go from idea to testable concept Expand use cases - Beyond coding, use AI for project planning, gap analysis, and cross-industry perspectives Strategic (Next 6-12 Months) Evaluate in-house vs. outsourcing - Determine if AI tools change your staffing strategy Invest in the right tools - Move beyond free ChatGPT to specialized coding tools if volume justifies it Create AI-enabled processes - Build systems that let AI agents handle routine business tasks Develop competitive advantage - Use speed-to-market improvements to outmaneuver slower competitors Key Questions to Ask Yourself Before listening: How long does it currently take us to go from business idea to working prototype? What development tasks are we avoiding because they seem too time-intensive? After listening: What's the first idea I've been putting off that I could pretotype this week? Who on my team could become our "conductor" for AI-assisted development? What would it mean for our business if we could cut development time by 75%?

How You Respond to Jesus, In Your Earthly Life, Will Determine How You Are Judged By Jesus MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus claimed to be the unique, divine Son of God; therefore, Jesus is on an equal footing with God. Jesus said that He would one day judge the world. How you respond to Jesus, in your life, will determine how you are judged. The Apostle John summarizes, in John 20:27-29, the interchange between Jesus and the Apostle Thomas when Thomas realizes who Jesus, the man that he had been following for years, is: “Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe' Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'”. You, as follower of Jesus, have not seen Jesus or His wounds. Therefore, do you believe through your faith; and are you able, by your faith, to say: “My Lord and my God!”? If not, why not?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, you know how difficult it is for me to be in silence before you. At times it feels almost impossible, given the demands, distractions, and noise all around me. I invite you to lead me to a quiet, silent place before you — to a place where I can hear you as Elijah did. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 123). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

This Podcast Is Episode 628, And It's About Efficient Payroll Implementation For Construction Business Owners mplementing an effective payroll system is crucial for construction business owners, as it directly impacts project management, employee satisfaction, and overall financial health. Given the complexities of the construction industry, including varying pay rates, overtime requirements, and the need for certified payroll reports, developing a streamlined payroll process is essential.    Here are some steps to consider:   1. Determine Payroll Needs: Assess the size of your workforce (hourly vs. salaried employees). Identify the types of workers (e.g., subcontractors, full-time employees) and ensure your payroll system can handle various pay rates and classifications.   2. Choose the Right Payroll Software: Look for software that caters to the construction industry's needs, including support for job costing, lien waivers, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. Ensure it has features for tracking time worked, overtime, and benefits. 3. Set Up Employee Information:  Gather necessary documentation for all employees, including W-4 forms, identification, and relevant licenses.  Enter employee data into the payroll system, including their pay rates, tax information, and benefits enrollment. 4. Establish a Time Tracking System: Implement a reliable method for tracking hours worked. This can be done via paper timesheets, digital time clocks, or mobile apps. Ensure the method complies with labor regulations regarding work hours and overtime.   5. Understand Payroll Tax Obligations:  Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment.  Set up an account with the IRS and pay estimated taxes regularly to avoid penalties.   6. Communicate with Your Team: Educate your employees about how the payroll system works, including how to report hours worked and any deductions they may see. Keep an open line of communication for any payroll-related questions or concerns.   7. Run Payroll: Determine a payroll schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) that best suits your business needs. Process payroll on time, ensuring accurate calculations for hours worked, overtime, and deductions.   8. Maintain Compliance: Stay updated with labor laws and regulations specific to the construction industry to avoid compliance issues. Keep records of payroll transactions and employee information for audit purposes.   9. Review and Adjust: Regularly review your payroll processes for efficiency and accuracy. Make adjustments as needed to enhance effectiveness and address any emerging issues. Consider soliciting employee feedback about the payroll process to identify any areas for improvement.   By following these steps, construction contractor business owners can implement a payroll system that meets their operational needs and effectively supports their workforce.    Now, what if you already have a system in place? Upgrading or changing your payroll system offers numerous significant benefits. Saving time and money, making everyone's lives easier, and improving integration are good reasons to consider a change.   But if the switch is mishandled, the results can be catastrophic and lead to long-lasting problems. So, please make sure that you allocate the project the time it requires. While some people may indeed enjoy coming to work, earning money is the main reason most people seek employment. Our jobs make the world go round, supporting us and our families so that we can afford everything else in life.   Not receiving payment correctly is a significant issue for your crew. As a construction business owner, you want to ensure your employees are paid sufficiently and on time. This protects your business and their happiness.   Changing payroll systems is a huge undertaking. Many moving parts and people will be affected. Ensure that this project receives the time and attention it deserves. Determine what will be necessary to make the transition, understand who it affects, and communicate with everyone involved. The planning process is critical. Treat it as the foundation to making the switch, and the rest will fall into place.   The primary motivation for implementing a new payroll system is to simplify processes. Yet, many construction businesses overlook how their new technology can help. It's easy to lean on old methods for getting things done because they're familiar, but that would be a mistake when switching to a new payroll system.   Ensure you are familiar with and understand the features of your new platform. The real-time, monetary, and energy savings will be realized here. Automate anything you can. When these tools prove their worth, your team will understand the rationale behind the switch.   That is why we're here.

Our bookkeeping services are designed to seamlessly assist you with your payroll processes, ensuring efficiency and accuracy at every step. Here's how we can help:   1.

Our bookkeeping services inform you about federal, state, and local regulations, ensuring you comply with all payroll tax requirements. We handle the calculations and submissions, allowing you to focus on your projects.  4.

Training and Support: We train your staff to use payroll systems effectively and provide ongoing support for any questions or issues. This ensures that your team feels confident and knowledgeable about the payroll process.  7. Monthly Reviews and Adjustments: Payroll needs can evolve as your business grows. We conduct regular reviews of your payroll processes and reports, making adjustments as necessary to enhance efficiency and address any new requirements that may arise.    Final thoughts   A well-implemented payroll system ensures that employees are paid accurately and on time and helps managers maintain compliance with labor laws and regulations. Furthermore, integrating payroll with project management and job costing enables better tracking of labor expenses and profitability for each project.    Deciding to change your payroll system is a big undertaking. But with some planning and preparation, it can be a smooth and rewarding transition.   For construction business owners, investing in a robust payroll solution means gaining a competitive edge, improving operational efficiency, and creating a positive work environment that fosters employee loyalty and productivity. By utilizing our bookkeeping services, construction business owners like you can ensure your payroll processes are compliant, accurate, and streamlined to support overall business growth and employee satisfaction.

Instagram is beginning to test the use of artificial intelligence to determine if kids are lying about their ages on the app, parent company Meta Platforms said. Meta has been using AI to determine people's ages for some time, the company said, but the photo and video-sharing app will now “proactively” look for teen accounts it suspects belong to teenagers even if they entered an inaccurate birthdate when they signed up. If it is determined that a user is misrepresenting their age, the account will automatically become a teen account, which has more restrictions than an adult account. Teen accounts are private by default. Private messages are restricted so teens can only receive them from people they follow or are already connected to. “Sensitive content,” such as videos of people fighting or those promoting cosmetic procedures, will be limited, Meta said. Teens will also get notifications if they are on Instagram for more than 60 minutes, and a “sleep mode” will be enabled that turns off notifications and sends auto-replies to direct messages from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m. Meta says it trains its AI to look for signals, such as the type of content the account interacts with, profile information and when the account was created, to determine the owner's age. The heightened measures arrive as social media companies face increased scrutiny over how their platforms affect the mental health and well-being of younger users. A growing number of states are also trying to pass age verification laws, although they have faced court challenges. Meta and other social media companies support putting the onus on app stores to verify ages amid criticism that they don't do enough to make their products safe for children—or verify that no kids under 13 use them. Instagram will also send notifications to parents “with information about how they can have conversations with their teens on the importance of providing the correct age online,” the company said.

THE ABC'S OF CHRISTIANITY The Golden Rule “Do for others as you would like them to do for you.” Luke 6:31 NLT …because everyone needs it … because it proves we know about God's love “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13: 34-35 NLT How Do We Put the Golden Rule into Practice? Live Unselfishly “The generous prosper and are satisfied; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 NLT Reinvest Blessings There are two ways we can invest in others: Collectively Individually Recycle Pain “He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.” 2 Corinthians 1:3- 4 NLT YOU ARE MOST EMPOWERED TO HELP SOMEONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH. Recycling Tips: Be humble Be real Determine to Encourage “Kind words are like honey-sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Proverbs 16:24 NLT “[A letter from the Apostles was read to the Christians in Antioch] and there was great joy throughout the church that day as they read this encouraging message.” Acts 15:30-31 NLT

Some of you just want to be liked. Others of you are obsessed with the scoreboard. The crowd and the metrics shouldn't be your ultimate gauges of success or value. In this episode Lone Rock Leadership Cofounder Russ Hill explores where leaders seek validation and how this fundamental choice defines leadership effectiveness, sustainability, and ability to scale.• First Leaders seek validation from the crowd, prioritizing harmony and being liked• This approach creates pleasant environments but often fails to drive results• Second Leaders seek validation from scoreboard metrics, authority, and status symbols• While driving short-term results, this leadership style struggles with innovation and retention• The most effective leaders seek validation first internally, staying consistent with their principles• Trusted advisors who provide honest feedback form a second critical validation source• External validation—whether from crowds or scoreboards—is ultimately unreliable• Some people will unfairly judge you regardless of your actions or intentions• If you don't have critics, you're likely not making enough impact• Understanding your validation source requires honest self-assessmentShare this episode with a colleague, your team, or a friend.

The more confident team will win Game 6. And the Warriors have all the confidence they need.

There will be a national vote on Saturday in Australia to determine if Labor prime minister Anthony Albanese can win a second term. It's looking like either will go down to the wire, even though Peter Dutton's conservative Coalition was ahead of Labor at the start of the campaign, but it now appears public sentiment has flipped back to Labor. Australia correspondent Peter Ryan spoke to Lisa Owen.

This Podcast Is Episode 626, And It's About From Chaos To Clarity: The Right Construction Job Management System Running a business involves countless moving parts, which can feel overwhelming. From managing projects and keeping the team on the same page to ensuring profitability. Have you ever sent an email about a critical update only to find that team members missed it? With a job management system, those headaches disappear.    Given the industry's complexity and unique challenges, effective job management is crucial for construction contractors. Managing multiple projects, coordinating teams, tracking budgets, and ensuring timely completion are just a few daily demands. A well-implemented job management system can be a game changer, streamlining operations and improving efficiency.    But how do you know if a job management system is right for you? And if it is, how do you select the one that best suits your needs? Let's break it down. The key benefits of using a Job Management System Investing in a job management system doesn't just make tasks easier—it helps your business thrive. Here are the top benefits of implementing one into your workflow: 1. Centralized Project Management A job management system allows contractors to manage all projects from a single platform. This central hub provides easy access to project timelines, tasks, and milestones, ensuring everyone knows their responsibilities and deadlines. 2. Enhanced Communication Clear communication is vital on construction sites. Job management systems facilitate real-time updates and notifications, reducing the likelihood of miscommunication between team members, subcontractors, and clients. 3. Efficient Resource Allocation Construction projects often require careful scheduling and resource allocation. Job management tools help track materials, labor hours, and equipment, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and reducing downtime on-site.  4. Real-time Reporting and Tracking These systems provide real-time updates on project progress, budget adherence, and timelines. This visibility enables contractors to make informed decisions and adjustments as needed, minimizing delays and cost overruns. 5. Financial Management Keeping construction projects within budget is critical. Job management systems help track expenses against budgets, providing insights into profit margins and alerting contractors to any financial discrepancies before they escalate. 6. Compliance and Documentation The construction industry is heavily regulated, and keeping track of permits, safety regulations, and compliance documents can be overwhelming. A job management system helps streamline this documentation, ensuring everything is up-to-date and easily accessible. How to Choose the Right Job Management System for Construction Contractors   1. Focus on your business needs Ask yourself, "What are my top priorities right now?" You may need better tracking for resource allocation. Your focus may be on speed or improving client communication. Write down what matters most—this will guide your decision. Determine your key requirements as a construction contractor. Consider factors like project size, number of team members, and specific functionalities you need, such as scheduling, budget tracking, or safety compliance. 2. Consider your budget Some systems offer all the bells and whistles, but they may strain your budget. Be realistic about what you're willing to spend. Remember, it's okay to focus on features that align with your goals and accept trade-offs for secondary needs. While investing in a robust solution is essential, ensure you find one that offers the features you need without overspending. 3. Understand your team and client needs Your team will use the system daily; in some cases, so will your clients. Choose intuitive and user-friendly software, especially if your team or clients have varying levels of comfort with technology. Given the diverse tech proficiency of team members, a user-friendly interface can enhance adoption and minimize training time. 4. Evaluate core strengths Every job management system has strengths. Some excel in scheduling and resource management, while others shine in reporting or integration with other apps. Research each tool's strengths and match them with your specific demands. Evaluate features tailored specifically for construction, such as Gantt charts for scheduling, bid management, and mobile accessibility for on-site updates. 5. Think beyond your industry Focusing on software marketed exclusively to your industry is tempting, but don't limit yourself. Tools designed for other sectors often have features that better align with your company's unique needs. Broaden your search to explore all options. Opt for a system that integrates well with other software you're using, such as accounting tools or design software. This can streamline processes and maintain data consistency across platforms. 6. Plan for implementation Even the best systems won't work unless they're properly implemented. Consider how much time and effort it will take to onboard your team, migrate data, and integrate the software into your operations. Look for providers that offer support or training to make this process smooth. Consider providers that offer solid customer support and training resources. Transitioning to a new job management system requires time and effort, so having assistance available can ensure a smoother onboarding process. Final thoughts A job management system can transform your business, helping you work smarter, not harder. It fosters better teamwork, provides real-time insights, and saves you from labor-intensive manual work—all while keeping your bottom line in check. A robust job management system can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of construction contractors. These tools can facilitate better project outcomes and increased profitability by providing streamlined communication, real-time data, and improved resource management. When selecting a system, focus on your specific needs, budget constraints, and the usability for your team. With the right job management solution, construction contractors can minimize chaos and focus on delivering quality results more efficiently. The right choice isn't solely about features; it's about finding something that aligns with your goals and empowers everyone, the team, and clients, to succeed.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Three Questions That Will Clear Your Path to Success April 30, 2025 | Episode 5083 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever apply for something you wanted, then complain when you got it? In this episode, Scott shares a recent conversation with his daughter about her early morning fitness classes that sparked an important realization. Sometimes we self-inflict challenges, then question our decisions! Scott offers three powerful questions to help you understand what you truly want and the fastest path. Featured Story Scott's daughter recently started teaching fitness classes that require her to wake up at 4:45 am. While she loves impacting people, she complained about the early mornings. This led Scott to reflect on how we often pursue things out of passion but forget to consider the practical aspects. Whether it's a business or a job, understanding your true motivation helps you make better decisions and stay focused on what matters. Key Takeaways Everything in life ultimately comes down to the people around you and the money you have - it's essential to be honest about why you're working. Even when you're serving others through your work, it's still a job, and acknowledging this helps maintain perspective. The right questions can reduce confusion and help you identify the fastest, most straightforward path to your goals. Memorable Quotes "It's one thing to say 'I'm helping people, I'm impacting people,' but service is hard when you're in service of others." "In my business coaching, I will tell you, it is not about spreadsheets or marketing - it's all about mindset. 99% of all business coaching I do is keeping your head in the game." "The empire will be built, but right now you need to build a road to the empire. You don't need a superhighway - a dirt road or path would be fine today." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself: "What exactly do you want from your business or job?" Get clear on what it should provide you and when. Determine the absolute minimum necessary for you to reach your goal - keep it simple and know when you succeed. Identify the fastest, easiest path to get it done - when you focus on the next step, you'll get there. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Ian Altman discusses the biggest blind spot in sales meetings: lack of preparation. He emphasizes the importance of setting realistic goals aligned with the client's needs rather than unrealistic expectations. Altman advises salespeople to identify what clients need to believe to achieve their goals and to prepare for different meeting scenarios (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Role-playing these scenarios with different team members helps salespeople practice and improve their ability to handle various outcomes effectively. He concludes that thorough planning and realistic expectations lead to better client meeting outcomes.Biggest MistakesNot having any planning whatsoever for the meeting.Having unrealistic expectations for the meeting outcome.Not thinking through the logistics of the meeting from the client's perspective.Coming to a meeting with no expectations.Best PracticesSet realistic expectations for the meeting that focus on solving the client's needs.Determine what the client needs to believe for the desired outcome to happen.Prepare questions to ask the client to confirm if they believe what you need them to believe.Plan for three possible scenarios: good, bad, and ugly.Role-play each scenario with a team (salesperson, customer, and observer).
