Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode A viral social media clip about ADAS calibrations sparked thousands of comments and exposed a troubling reality: many automotive professionals still misunderstand when and why calibrations are required. In this episode, Carm Capriotto welcomes technical specialists and industry leaders Keith Perkins and Matt Fanslow to examine the industry's response, separate fact from fiction, and explain why following OEM repair procedures is essential for both vehicle safety and professional credibility. What You'll Learn The difference between static and dynamic ADAS calibrations, and why confusing the two leads to costly mistakes.Why programming, configuration, initialization, and calibration are separate procedures with different purposes.How fear of losing a sale often outweighs concerns about vehicle safety and liability.The real-world consequences of skipping OEM-required calibration procedures.How a properly calibrated vehicle helped protect Keith's wife and children during a serious highway rollover crash.How elevating the role of theCalibration Specialistreinforces professionalism and builds customer confidence. ADAS calibrations are not optional add-ons or revenue generators; they are critical safety procedures designed by vehicle manufacturers to ensure advanced safety systems perform as intended. Professional repair shops protect their customers by following OEM repair information, completing every required calibration, and returning every vehicle to the road safe and ready to perform.

The press is the only industry the Constitution protects. Hugo Balta thinks too many newsrooms forgot why, and he walked out to prove it. Hugo Balta spent three decades in newsrooms at NBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, CBS, ABC, and ESPN before leaving mainstream media for independent journalism. He now serves as executive editor of The Fulcrum and publisher of the Latino News Network, and he remains the only person in the history of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists to serve twice as its president. This conversation runs from a Paterson, NJ childhood as the son of Peruvian immigrants to why he rejects objectivity as a marketing tool, what a free press is actually for, and the morning he flew the flag upside down.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Your posted labor rate may not be the labor rate you're actually collecting, and that gap could be costing your shop thousands of dollars every month. In this episode, Carm Capriotto is joined by Andy Adams, a shop owner and business coach, and Rob Sperring, a service manager, to explain why the Effective Labor Rate (ELR) is one of the most overlooked yet impactful performance metrics in the auto repair industry. They break down why ELR falls short, how it affects profitability, and the practical steps every shop owner can take to close the gap. What You'll Learn What Effective Labor Rate (ELR) is and why it matters more than your posted door rate.Why healthy shops should collect at least 90 percent of their posted labor rate.How unbilled diagnostic time, underpriced canned jobs, and complimentary inspections reduce profitability.Why excessive discounting, even with good intentions, can quietly erode your bottom line.How shifting consumer buying habits make labor profitability more important than ever.Why improving ELR creates opportunities to increase technician compensation and strengthen your business.How auditing repair orders can uncover missed labor opportunities and unnecessary discounts.Why updating your labor matrix and canned jobs can immediately improve financial performance.How sharing KPI's (key performance indicators) with your team builds ownership and accountability throughout the shop. Effective Labor Rate is more than a financial matrix; it's a direct measure of how well your shop captures the value of the work it performs. By understanding where labor revenue is being lost and making intentional operational improvements, shop owners can increase profitability, invest in their teams, and build a stronger, more sustainable business.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Naji Abbas, Director of the Prisoners and Detainees Department at Physicians for Human Rights Israel, about the Israeli army's policies and practices of kidnapping and disappearing Palestinians into detention, where torture is rampant. Among the 5000 Palestinians detained without charge are 14 senior Palestinian doctors from Gaza, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, whose condition has deteriorated. Following his most recent visit to Dr. Abu Safiya, attorney Nasser Odeh reported "tangible and immediate danger" to Dr. Abu Safiya's life due to a "dramatic escalation in the assaults and torture" inflicted by Israeli prison guards against Dr. Abu Safiya. Ahmed and Naji place the detention of Gaza's doctors within the logic of genocide, as it is part of the dismantling of the healthcare services people need to live.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode What does it take to build one of the fastest-growing auto repair businesses while leveraging artificial intelligence to improve performance at every level? In this episode, Carm Capriotto welcomes Jesse Jackson, Founder and CEO of Mango Automotive, to discuss how she scaled from zero to eight locations in less than five years. Jesse shares the leadership lessons learned through rapid growth, how custom AI tools are helping improve customer experience and operational consistency, and why she believes it's time to rethink how independent shop owners plan their exit from the industry. What You'll Learn How Mango Automotive expanded from a startup to eight locations through strategic acquisitions.The leadership challenges that come with rapid growth and why building a corporate support team became essential.The three cultural principles that drive employee engagement: never yell, bonus well, and have fun.How AI is being used to measure standard operating procedures and improve accountability.Why analyzing phone conversations with AI helps advisors convert more callers into customers.How providing realistic price ranges over the phone can improve appointment conversion rates.How AI-driven follow-up processes dramatically increased maintenance rebooking rates.Practical ways any shop owner can use tools like ChatGPT or Claude to evaluate service advisor performance without spending hours reviewing phone calls.Why thousands of shop owners approaching retirement may be leaving significant business value on the table.How Jesse's cooperative exit model could help independent shop owners achieve substantially higher business valuations than traditional private equity acquisitions. Artificial intelligence isn't replacing great leadership; it's making great operators even better.

Rather than asking how AI can help produce more books faster, he explores how AI can unlock entirely new ways for audiences to experience stories through interactive apps, games, codices, workbooks, and other formats that previously required large development teams.That leads into a larger discussion about permission.Neither traditional publishing nor modern technology determines what creators are “allowed” to make anymore. The only real limitations are imagination, willingness to experiment, and understanding the business realities behind each creative decision.The episode also explores one of the most important concepts for building a sustainable creative career:Every creative goal is built from dozens of smaller skills.Whether someone wants to become a podcaster, novelist, filmmaker, or entrepreneur, success isn't about mastering one discipline. It's about gradually stacking complementary skills until seemingly unrelated experiences suddenly converge years later into a career that feels inevitable in hindsight.Throughout the conversation, Lee explains how she coaches authors by breaking seemingly impossible goals into measurable component skills, while Russell emphasizes that many creators fail simply because they confuse different goals, like “finishing a book” versus “writing the perfect book.”The discussion continues into branding, genre, audience expectations, marketing strategy, commercial fiction versus literary fiction, and why understanding your actual goals matters far more than copying someone else's career.By the end, the conversation becomes less about books and more about designing an entire creative life around what genuinely energizes you instead of chasing someone else's definition of success.Topics Covered:* ADHD, body doubling, and productivity through co-working* Live TikTok writing sprints* Building creative momentum through accountability* Why the AI debate has become less interesting than AI's unexplored possibilities* Using AI to create interactive fiction experiences* Games, apps, codices, and alternative storytelling formats* Moving beyond simply writing more books* Escaping the “book-a-month” mindset* Delivering a consistent brand promise* Lessons from Colleen Hoover and her readership* Brand consistency versus creative freedom* Why audiences buy feelings, not formats* Permissionless creativity in the modern publishing world* Teaching yourself instead of waiting for gatekeepers* Everything changes, but nothing is wasted creatively* How unrelated skills compound over time* Why every creative pursuit strengthens future work* The hidden skill tree behind creative careers* Breaking large goals into measurable subskills* Diagnosing bottlenecks in an author's business* Identifying obvious versus non-obvious constraints* Marketing, branding, writing, and sales as separate skills* Goal clarity versus perfectionism* Finishing a book versus endlessly rewriting it* Coaching authors through creative paralysis* Living in the energy of the solution instead of the problem* Chapter-by-chapter developmental editing* Making stories “hookier” without sacrificing quality* Scene goals and narrative momentum* Book marketing bootcamps and implementation coaching* The five marketing levers:* Cover* Description* Audience* Ad creative* Ad copy* Improving conversion instead of increasing production* Hiring coaches to solve specific problems* Defining what “good” actually means* Literary fiction versus commercial fiction* Hook-driven storytelling* Character goals as reader engagement* Matching writing style to audience expectations* Understanding market size versus artistic goals* Commercial realities of genre fiction* Fantasy, romance, literary fiction, YA, and niche genres* Building businesses around niche audiences* Total addressable market* Choosing creative constraints intentionally* Dense fiction versus highly consumable fiction* Writing beautiful prose without sacrificing readability* Generating traffic versus improving conversion* Lessons from James Clear and Atomic Habits* Creating highly shareable nonfiction* The difference between broad-market products and niche products* Serving a small but passionate audience* Designing a creative life around personal values* Investing versus relying solely on book income* Aligning business models with lifestyle goals* Accepting tradeoffs instead of chasing impossible comparisons* Building a career that fits your definition of success This is a public episode.

Was Henry VIII a narcissist? A psychopath? A sociopath?These labels are increasingly applied to England's most famous king, but after years of researching Henry VIII and reading contemporary sources, I don't think the evidence allows us to make that kind of diagnosis.In this video, I explain why I believe there's an important difference between judging Henry VIII's actions and trying to retrospectively diagnose his personality using modern psychology. I also explore why I don't believe there were "two Henrys", why context matters, and why reducing complex historical figures to a single label can actually stop us asking the most interesting historical questions.I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Do you think historians should diagnose historical figures using modern psychological terms? #HenryVIII #TudorHistory #AnneBoleyn #History #Tudors
CardioNerds (Drs. Apoorva Gangavelli, Rebecca Garber, and Tina Reddy discuss INOCA with Dr. Claire Raphael. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor Pacey Wetstein. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Einthoven under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli, and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is more common than often recognized, particularly in women and individuals with risk factors like diabetes or hypertension. Conditions such as INOCA, ANOCA, and MINOCA can cause ischemia and chest pain despite “clean” angiograms, often due to microvascular dysfunction, coronary spasms, or subtle plaque. Diagnosing these conditions requires advanced imaging or invasive studies to assess blood flow and vessel function. Treatment focuses on reducing cardiovascular risk with aspirin, statins, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs, and managing symptoms with beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers. The key takeaway: A normal angiogram doesn't rule out disease, and these patients need a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to care. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values. CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls: When patients present with chest pain but do not have obstructive coronary artery disease, the story does not end there! Other pathologies that must be ruled out include spontaneous coronary artery disease (SCAD), coronary vasospasm, microvascular disease, Takotsubo, and cardiomyopathy. A TTE can help rule out other pathologies. Cardiac MRI can help identify myocardial fibrosis, scarring, or edema that may suggest prior events or alternative diagnoses. About 60-70% of INOCA cases are in women. However, it is estimated that about half of the patients with so-called “normal” angiograms actually have positive stress tests. Patients with elevated troponins are more likely to have recurrent events. Patients with INOCA are more likely to come back to the ER multiple times before getting diagnosed. These patients have a 1.4x increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events (such as HFpEF, MI, and recurrent hospitalizations for cardiac chest pain). INOCA is a complex condition with a variety of causes, primarily linked to microvascular disease. Within microvascular disease, there are different “endotypes” (types or subcategories) classified by specific characteristics. In centers that conduct microvascular testing, patients are categorized as endothelium-independent or endothelium-dependent, based on their responses to adenosine or acetylcholine during testing. Additionally, microvascular disease can be classified as either structural or functional, depending on the results of tests measuring microvascular resistance. The field is moving towards the term ANOCA, or angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries, to include patients with anginal symptoms without objective ischemia. The field is moving toward using genotyping and hemodynamic testing to guide first-line therapies for microvascular disease, a heterogeneous condition. Current treatments mostly come from obstructive coronary artery disease, but specialized approaches—like the coronary sinus reducer—may offer unique benefits for microvascular disease. Treatment includes sublingual nitroglycerin, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, and beta-blockers. Remember to also treat any additional comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Unfortunately, many of these patients may still have refractory chest pain, so it is important to reassure them. These patients can still exercise, but they may be hesitant to do so for fear of having chest pain. Cardiac rehab may be helpful for these patients as it helps them build up their tolerance.

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Jamie Kitchen, an HVAC expert, Training and Account Manager at Danfoss about how metering devices control refrigerant flow in cooling and refrigeration systems. Jamie explains how simple restrictions like cap tubes and orifices work, then breaks down how an automatic expansion valve (AXV) holds a steady evaporator temperature and pressure for ice shavers and frozen drink machines. The conversation explores how thermostatic expansion valves (TXV) adapt to changing loads, how the sensing bulb and superheat spring balance each other, and internal versus external equalized valves. Gary and Jamie also discuss why a refrigerant distributor needs an external equalized valve, a service call on a stuck TXV at a restaurant rooftop unit, and how mentorship helps new technicians learn what textbooks miss. Gary and Jamie discuss how different metering devices control refrigerant flow in cooling and refrigeration systems. Jamie explains how simple restrictions like cap tubes and orifices create a pressure drop, and how an automatic expansion valve holds a steady evaporator temperature and pressure for ice shavers and frozen drink machines. The conversation covers thermostatic expansion valves, how the sensing bulb and superheat spring work together, how superheat is adjusted, and the difference between internal and external equalized valves. They also talk about why a refrigerant distributor needs an external equalized valve, a real service call on a stuck TXV, and how sharing field knowledge and mentorship helps newer technicians. Expect to Learn: How AI can help HVAC and home service businesses automate repetitive daily tasks. Why maintenance agreement scheduling can become a major challenge as a business grows.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video EpisodeWhat if your shop operated like a championship team, where everyone knew the score and was motivated to win together?Gerry Frank, business coach and former shop owner of 35 years, joins Carm Capriotto to explain how gamification can transform an auto repair business by increasing profitability, accountability, and employee engagement. Rather than relying on pressure or incentives alone, Gerry shares a practical system that turns daily performance into a shared game built around visibility, ownership, and teamwork.What You'll LearnWhy diagnosing the real business problem is more important than applying quick fixes.How visible scoreboards create accountability and keep the entire team focused on shared goals.Why technicians and service advisors should update their own scores instead of management.Which key performance indicators matter most, including car count, billable hours, margins, and hours presented.Why aligning the front and back of the shop creates stronger teamwork and better customer outcomes.How storytelling helps employees understand the importance behind the numbers.A leadership approach that improves performance by focusing on results instead of criticizing people.Gamification isn't about making work feel like a game, it's about giving every employee clear goals, measurable results, and ownership of their performance.

In this episode of the CCPT Mythbusters series, I tackle one of the most widely accepted assumptions in children's mental health today: that diagnosing and medicating children is the best path to helping them. I explain why child-centered play therapists often find themselves working against systems that prioritize labels and prescriptions before fully understanding the whole child. While there are rare situations where diagnosis and medication are appropriate, I challenge the idea that they should be the default response. Instead, I share why CCPT begins with trust—trust in the child, trust in the therapeutic relationship, and trust in the child's innate capacity for growth when the right conditions are provided. I also discuss how to navigate conversations with parents who are considering evaluations or medication, and why I encourage families to pursue a full course of child-centered play therapy before making those decisions whenever appropriate. Drawing on more than two decades of clinical experience, I explain why so many children experience remarkable transformation without diagnoses or medication, and why preserving a child's identity and emotional development should remain at the center of our work. This episode offers practical talking points and reinforces the role of the CCPT therapist as a compassionate advocate for the whole child. Podcast Meetups! Come hang out with me.

In this episode, Mark and Emily kick off a brand new series called Since We Tolerate, a look at the "respectable sins" Christians often overlook or excuse. They start with one of the most culturally relevant: judgment. Drawing from Romans 14, Mark unpacks how Christians can fall into a pattern of casting judgment on brothers and sisters in areas where scripture doesn't demand a single answer, and what it looks like to pursue edifying love instead.Episode Highlights00:34 — Introducing the new series: Since We Tolerate and the idea of "respectable sins"01:13 — Why Christians often tackle the obvious sins but miss the subtle ones01:57 — The framework for the series: a four-part process for killing sin03:26 — Defining the process: remember the gospel, remember your identity, starve the sin, feed the spirit05:13 — Introducing the sin of judgment and its grounding in Romans 1406:12 — The Jewish-Gentile tension in the early church as the original context for Romans 1408:10 — What makes a matter "gray" — and why gray doesn't mean unimportant10:26 — Judgementalism as a "crowning vice of modernity," amplified by social media and cable news13:33 — When judgment is right: distinguishing disputed matters from clear biblical teaching17:00 — Diagnosing a judgmental heart: the BAM vs. WAM test (Best Available Motive vs. Worst Available Motive)21:28 — Practical steps to starve the sin: study it, hate it, flee it, confess it27:00 — Feeding the spirit: cultivating edifying love as the antidote to judgment30:34 — A preview of the next episode: gluttonyResourcesRespectable Sins by Jerry Bridges: PurchaseCornerstone Sermons: Listen OnlineAsk Mark a Question!Suggest a topic or question for Mark to discuss on a future episode of the Equip Podcast!
Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.In this Mind Moments episode, Grace Gombolay, MD, associate professor of pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine and director of the Pediatric Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, joins Varun Kannan, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics in the Department of Neurology at Emory University School of Medicine and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, for a discussion on acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a rare inflammatory demyelinating syndrome that remains an important diagnostic consideration in pediatric neuroimmunology. The conversation provides a practical overview of how clinicians should recognize ADEM, distinguish it from conditions such as multiple sclerosis, MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and approach treatment in the absence of FDA-approved therapies. Gombolay and Kannan review the clinical and radiographic hallmarks of ADEM, the role of MRI and antibody testing in the diagnostic workup, and current treatment strategies involving corticosteroids, IVIG, and plasma exchange. They also discuss long-term outcomes, the evolving relationship between ADEM and MOGAD, emerging biomarkers such as neurofilament light chain and cytokine profiling, and common misconceptions that can complicate diagnosis and management in clinical practice.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow starts with a case study on a 2000 Ford Excursion with a 7.3L Power Stroke that came in with a severe lack of power. What began as a fuel delivery problem turned into a more interesting diagnostic puzzle involving a P1280 injection control pressure sensor code, an aftermarket ICP sensor, and a fault that appeared to happen not during cranking or running, but after key-off.The case becomes a practical example of why testing under actual operating conditions matters. Static tests can pass, scan data can look normal, and a meter may never show the event. In this case, the scope captured something the rest of the tools could easily miss.Matt then shifts into a listener question about artificial intelligence, especially large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and others. The concern is not simply whether AI is good or bad, but whether people, especially kids, may begin outsourcing too much thinking, writing, problem-solving, and confidence to these tools.The episode lands on a recurring theme: tools are not the problem by themselves. The question is how they are used, what skills may atrophy when they are overused, and whether individuals, families, businesses, industries, and society are willing to think more carefully and evidence-first about the long-term effects.Topics Covered2000 Ford Excursion 7.3L Power Stroke Case StudyMatt discusses a 7.3L Power Stroke with a major lack-of-power concern. The initial issue was tied to the low-pressure fuel supply side. A basic fuel pressure test had passed, but it had not been tested under the actual conditions where the symptom occurred.That led to a larger point: testing at idle, key-on, or during cranking is not the same as testing under load.The vehicle ultimately had damaged pickup screens and debris in the fuel tank. Cleaning the tank and replacing the failed components solved the fuel supply issue, but another problem remained.The P1280 ICP Sensor ProblemAfter the fuel supply repair, the truck began setting a P1280 code, related to the injection control pressure sensor circuit reading low.The strange part was that the voltage looked normal:Key-on engine-off voltage looked normal.Cranking voltage did not drop.Five-volt reference stayed stable.Sensor ground stayed stable.The signal looked fine while running.The meter never really caught the failure.The scope eventually revealed the important event: after key-off, the ICP signal voltage would sometimes dip nearly to zero. That appeared to be enough for the PCM to set the code on the next key cycle.Scope vs. Meter vs. Scan ToolThis case is a useful reminder that each tool has limits.A scan tool may not refresh fast enough or may stop collecting data after key-off. A meter may technically sample quickly, but the display may not show a short event clearly. The oscilloscope was the tool that made the failure visible.The point is not that one tool is always better. The point is knowing which tool fits the question being asked.Aftermarket Sensor BehaviorThe aftermarket ICP sensor appeared to produce a rebound effect after shutdown. Matt compares the behavior to something like inertial rebound, a concept familiar from certain pressure pulse sensors and piezo-style tools.The OE Motorcraft sensor did not reproduce the same behavior. Replacing the aftermarket sensor with the OE sensor corrected the issue.Main Diagnostic TakeawaysTesting has to match the failure condition. A fuel pressure test that passes at idle does not prove the fuel system can keep up under load.A sensor can create a failure outside the moment most people are watching. In this case, the important event seemed to occur after key-off.A scope can reveal details that a scan tool or meter may miss, especially when the event is brief, intermittent, or happens outside normal observation windows.Aftermarket parts can fail in ways that are not obvious or traditionally “failed.” The sensor was not simply dead. It behaved incorrectly under a specific condition.Listener Question: AI, Kids, and Skill AtrophyThe second half of the episode deals with a listener question about artificial intelligence and whether it may negatively affect people, especially kids.Matt narrows the discussion to what most people mean by AI in everyday conversation: large language models. These tools can write, summarize, explain, organize, and suggest. That makes them useful, but it also creates a risk.The concern is skill atrophy. When people lean too heavily on AI to write, think, summarize, diagnose, or explain, they may lose confidence or sharpness in those same areas.AI TakeawaysAI does not have to be viewed as the collapse of civilization, but it also should not be treated casually.The better question is not “Is AI good or bad?” It is: What happens when people outsource too much of their thinking to it?Matt argues for an evidence-based approach. Families, schools, businesses, industries, and society should be asking harder questions about long-term effects instead of simply letting the tools spread and hoping it all works out.Neuroplasticity matters here. Even if people become overdependent on AI, the brain can adapt again. Skills can be rebuilt. Confidence can be recovered. But that depends on whether people recognize the problem and choose to do something about it.Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Why do talented automotive technicians leave the automotive industry, and what can shop owners do to keep them? Host Carm Capriotto is joined by Technical Specialist Matt Fanslow and Technician Find CEO Chris Lawson to explore what it takes to attract, hire, and retain top talent in today's automotive repair industry. The conversation examines industry professionalism, workplace culture, compensation, employee engagement, and proactive recruiting strategies that help shops become destinations for exceptional technicians. What You'll Learn Why elevating the image of automotive professionals is critical to attracting the next generation of talentThe three primary reasons technicians leave shops: lack of respect, limited growth opportunities, and compensation concernsHow financial transparency can build trust, ownership, and a stronger team cultureThe difference between a shop's "official game" and its "shadow game," and why understanding both mattersPractical ways to gather meaningful employee feedback and turn ideas into actionHow leaders can remove obstacles that prevent technicians from finding joy and fulfillment in their workWhy relationships with tool truck drivers can become a valuable recruiting resourceHow a shop's appearance and reputation can influence whether top candidates choose to work there Finding and keeping great technicians requires more than competitive pay. Shops that create a culture of respect, provide clear growth opportunities, communicate openly, and actively remove workplace frustrations are far more likely to attract and retain top performers. The most successful shop owners don't wait for talent to find them, they intentionally build workplaces where skilled professionals want to stay and grow.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. Over the last several years we’ve discussed dozens and dozens of opportunities in warehousing, transportation, manufacturing, distribution, and logistics. We’ve talked about forklift operators, order selectors, recruiters, dispatchers, transportation managers, supervisors, safety professionals, operations leaders, and many of the global supply chain positions. Today I thought we'd talk about one of the positions or career paths that, well, isn't thought about much but without it, simply put, things would grind to a halt! And that's Building Maintenance. The people who keep the facility running. The men and women who make sure the lights come on, the dock doors open, the HVAC systems cool and heat the buildings and keep our coolers and freezers cold, the plumbing works, and the equipment keeps operating. Without them, nothing else happens. And the amazing thing is many of these careers begin with the simplest tasks imaginable. Changing a light bulb. I'm Marty and let’s talk about it today. When most people start in a warehouse environment, they may enter as a General Labor associate. Maybe we're unloading trailers, stacking pallets, cleaning work areas or even assisting with counting inventory or any of the 50 other tasks that need help every shift. We're learning about attendance, safety rules and procedures, and expectations. We're learning what it means to be part of a team. Managers start noticing people who like fixing things. The employee who notices a broken door handle or a slow roll up door. That associate who reports a leaking pipe. The team member who volunteers to help move equipment. The person who wants to know how things work. Those individuals often find themselves helping the maintenance departments. And that’s where a completely different career journey can begin. Many facilities have what is commonly called a Utility Associate. Sometimes they’re called facility assistants. Maintenance helpers, maintenance utility technicians. The title doesn’t matter much. And the responsibilities are usually very similar. Tasks might include things like replacing light bulbs, painting walls, cleaning dock plates, changing air filters, maybe even minor repairs on equipment, or organizing maintenance supplies, even assisting contractors, and helping the company technicians perform preventive maintenance. These aren’t glamorous jobs. But they’re valuable jobs. And more importantly, they’re learning opportunities. Every task teaches something, every repair becomes a lesson, with every day becoming a classroom. One of the first skills many maintenance associates begin learning is basic electrical work. I’m not talking about becoming an electrician overnight. Of course, electrical work requires training, certifications, and safety knowledge. But maintenance associates often start learning how lighting systems operate, how to replace ballast and LED conversions. Circuit identification, Lockout/Tagout procedures, and electrical safety principles. They begin understanding why power flows the way it does, they learn troubleshooting and how to diagnosis problems. They learn how to identify problems instead of simply reporting them. That’s a valuable skill in any profession. The same thing happens with plumbing. Many maintenance technicians start by helping experienced professionals. They learn how water systems operate, how valves function and how drains are maintained, things like leak identification, and fixture replacement. Then comes one of the most in-demand skill sets in many nations today. HVAC. Or Heating. Ventilation. Air Conditioning. As maintenance associates gain experience, many employers will sponsor training opportunities. Some associates pursue certifications on their own. Before long, they’re troubleshooting rooftop units. Maintaining industrial climate systems. Diagnosing airflow issues. And with those skills comes increased earning potential. What I find fascinating about maintenance careers is how they combine multiple trades into one profession. Electrical. Mechanical. Plumbing. HVAC. Carpentry. Safety. Even project management, vendor relations, and budgeting. It’s one of the most diverse skill sets in the entire facility. And I've found that many maintenance professionals continue developing themselves through formal training. Things like OSHA certifications, Lockout/Tagout training, HVAC certifications, EPA refrigerant certifications, electrical safety training, welding certifications, boiler certifications, preventive maintenance programs, and facility management certifications. Each certification adds another tool to the toolbox. And employers notice. One thing I’ve observed throughout my career is that maintenance professionals become incredibly valuable because they save organizations money. Imagine a conveyor system goes down. Production stops. Orders stop. Shipping grinds to a halt. A skilled maintenance technician can diagnose the issue, repair it, and get operations moving again. That’s value. The ability to solve problems creates opportunities. And, as we've learned, organizations reward problem solvers. As technicians gain experience, I've seen many advance into leadership roles. Maintenance Lead and on to Maintenance Supervisor or Facilities Supervisor. Even Maintenance Manager and Facilities Manager or Regional Maintenance Manager and Director of Facilities positions. These leaders may oversee multiple facilities, maintenance budgets, preventive maintenance programs, and manage vendor relationships, compliance initiatives, construction projects, and safety programs. They’re no longer changing light bulbs, there making strategic decisions and planning future improvements, helping organizations operate efficiently. Now the path isn’t always direct or happening in a straight line. I've witnessed people begin as janitors, as forklift operators. Some come from manufacturing or even the fleet or transportation environments. What matters most is curiosity and the desire to learn. The willingness to ask questions and to volunteer for opportunities. As you know by now, I’ve always believed that careers are built one skill at a time. Very few people just wake up one morning and becomes a Director. Nobody starts as an expert. No one began their career knowing everything. Success is usually much less exciting than people imagine. I think it’s learning one thing today. Another thing tomorrow. And one more thing next week. Then repeating that process for years. If you’re listening today and currently working as a general labor associate, here's a quick exercise. Look around your facility. Notice who repairs things and who troubleshoots equipment, who maintains dock doors, who works on HVAC systems, who keeps the building running. Then introduce yourself. Ask questions and Show interest. You may discover a career path you never knew was there. And if you’re already in maintenance, keep investing in yourself. Take the next class and earn the next certification and the next skill. Because maintenance is one of those professions where learning never stops. technology changes, equipment changes, and our buildings change. The people who continue learning continue growing. Saying all that reminds me of a much earlier episode from back in 2016, episode 11, where we visited with a gentleman named Mike that pretty much lived the life we've discussed here today. I'd urgh you to go check out what he had to say way back then. Anyway, so this week, I challenge you to look beyond the obvious career paths. Sometimes opportunity isn’t driving a forklift. It isn’t sitting in an office or managing a department. Sometimes opportunity is standing on a ladder changing a light bulb and realizing you’ve just taken the first step toward becoming the person responsible for an entire facility. And that’s a pretty incredible journey. Until next time, remember that warehousing, transportation, manufacturing, and operations aren’t just jobs. They’re careers. And every career starts with a single opportunity. And we can make our own opportunities. Well, I've got to go move some freight myself now. Thanks for listening in today, and hey, y'all be safe out there, our friends and family are wanting to see us after our shift.
Episode Summary: Revival is not enough to heal this civilizational moment.Many Christians long for spiritual renewal, but what happens after revival? How do transformed hearts lead to transformed families, institutions, communities, and nations?In this episode, Naomi Smith joins us to discuss her new book, Occupy Till I Come, co-authored with Darrow Miller. Together, they explore why understanding our cultural moment is only the beginning. Diagnosing our culture's problems is relatively easy; cultivating renewal is where the real work begins. The Church must recover a biblical vision for cultural engagement, break the sacred-secular divide, and learn how to faithfully steward every area of life for God's kingdom.Join us as we discuss worldview, discipleship, cultural renewal, the Church's role in society, hospitality, family, vocation, and what it means to "occupy till He comes" in a rapidly changing world. If you've ever wondered how your faith connects to your work, community, and culture, this conversation offers both a challenge and a roadmap.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Could your sleepless nights, mood swings, joint pain, or "I just don't feel like myself" feelings be connected to perimenopause? Do you really need hormone testing to know what is happening? And is menopause hormone therapy actually as scary as we were once told? Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch, hosts of OvaryActive and co-authors of Estrogen, Interrupted, join Dr. Lora Shahine for this episode of Brave & Curious. Their conversation opens up a thoughtful, funny, and myth-busting conversation about menopause, perimenopause, hormone health, and why women deserve to understand their bodies. They also explain the difference between menopause and perimenopause, why symptoms can start years before periods stop, why hormone labs often do not tell the full story, and how symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, vaginal dryness, weight changes, itchy ears (yes, we said "itchy ears"), burning mouth, and joint pain can all fit into the bigger picture. Perimenopause is often a "story-based" diagnosis rather than a single lab result, and treatment options are available. This conversation will walk listeners through all of that and more. Listeners will feel informed, validated, and ready to ask better questions.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode How are automotive technicians learning today, and who is investing in their future? Matt Shepanek, President of the ASE Training Managers Council (ATMC), discusses the findings of the 2026 ATMC Benchmark Survey. The survey offers valuable insight into technician education, training preferences, emerging technologies, and the industry's commitment to continuous learning. The conversation highlights significant differences between dealerships and independent repair shops, reveals what technicians most want to learn, and reinforces why ongoing professional development remains essential in an era of rapidly advancing vehicle technology. What You'll Learn How dealerships continue to lead the way in training investment, paying for technician education 85% of the time, while many independent technicians still share the cost or pay out of pocket.Why Hybrid/EV systems and Electrical/Electronics training top the list of requested subjects as vehicle technology continues to evolve.What the survey reveals about technician learning preferences and why hands-on, instructor-led training remains the gold standard despite the growth of online education.The wide gap in annual training hours, from technicians receiving no structured education to others completing more than 56 hours each year.Why continuous learning has become a business necessity, not an option, for shops hoping to remain competitive and profitable. The 2026 ATMC Benchmark Survey reinforces a simple truth: the future belongs to technicians and shops that embrace lifelong learning. As vehicles become increasingly dependent on advanced electrical systems, software, hybrid technology, and diagnostics, professional development is no longer a luxury. Shops that invest in training, provide access to relevant education, and foster a culture of continuous improvement will be better positioned to attract talent, improve performance, and thrive in a rapidly changing automotive landscape.

How do you escape incrementalism in a world that rewards sameness? How do you stop solving the same problems differently and start thinking in ways that create seismic change? My guest Will Hammond believes the answer starts with seeing creativity not as a talent for the lucky few, but as a skill, a discipline, and in many ways a responsibility. But today is about more than creativity. It's about asking better questions, thinking better, and doing what it takes to break free. In this episode of Insight Out, I sit down with Will Hammond, a creative leader who has spent years running major agencies including Saatchi & Saatchi and DDB, and is now on a mission to teach left brain thinkers how to unlock elite creative thinking. We dive deep into the hidden trap that keeps most leaders stuck in incremental growth and how to break free from it. Throughout our conversation, Hammond shares powerful stories and real world examples that bring his concepts to life. Like the time a creative director tendered his entire department's resignations, dated six months out, as a commitment device to force breakthrough work. Or the envelope exercise where team members wrote down their wildest dreams for the year, sealed them shut, and achieved every single goal in eight months instead of twelve. And then there's the Emerald Nuts Super Bowl story, a powerful lesson in solving a distribution problem through perception rather than logistics. He then breaks down the key practices of an elite creative thinker: why subtraction is more powerful than addition when trying to unlock better ideas, how to know if you're solving a business problem or a thinking problem, and why "stop waiting for permission" might be the most underrated leadership advice of all. Hammond doesn't just leave us with theory. He offers practical exercises you can use on a Tuesday at 2 pm to start thinking differently today. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and discover how elite creative thinking can reshape not just your business, but your life. In this episode, we discuss: [00:00] Introducing Will Hammond [03:31] The bomb blast, the mugging, and the Palisades fire [05:39] Why “creativity” became a trigger word [14:42] How to make creativity cultural in a business [18:59] The portfolio idea [21:55] The Saatchi & Saatchi resignation bet [24:24] “What is the biggest role your company can play in society?” [32:52] Why subtraction beats addition [36:42] Solving the wrong problem because it's framed too narrowly [44:33] Seismic growth vs. incremental growth [47:23] Diagnosing a thinking problem vs. a business problem [50:50] What underperforming and “cruising” companies have in common [52:36] What to diagnose first when brought in to help a leadership team [59:07] Where to find Will and how to work with him Notable Quotes [04:31] "The more we set a goal, the more we drive toward something – opportunities suddenly start appearing that you didn't have before." – Will Hammond [05:07] "The act of writing something down – it is now real, because it exists in the world. If you have a goal and you just have it in your head, it's kind of not really a goal." – Will Hammond [07:19] "Creativity is solving problems. Your broom breaks. You don't have another broom. You grab a stick and duct tape. That is being creative." – Will Hammond [16:55] "When everybody in a company is excited about kicking the competition's butt, you've bonded everybody against a singular mission. It breaks down silos." – Will Hammond [25:17] "Every single company in the world is in service of another human somewhere else." – Will Hammond [30:30] "Nobody gets promoted for doing their job. People get promoted because they have an idea that they execute that brings more revenue or makes people happier." – Will Hammond [32:15] "Don't ask or wait for permission. Just do it. There is no such thing as 'should.'" – Will Hammond [35:16] "In the craziest thing we could do is a golden thread your brain would never have gotten to because it's too scared." – Will Hammond [41:22] "If you appear big, people take you seriously." – Will Hammond [44:35] "Seismic growth and incremental growth don't take more energy. The only difference is dedication." – Will Hammond [51:34] "If you rest on your laurels, you're going backwards. Even if you are moving forwards, it hasn't caught up with you yet. But you will be behind the eight ball." – Will Hammond [56:00] "The greater your vision that you bring to AI, the more powerful it is." – Will Hammond Will Hammond Website: https://www.backwardbrilliance.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-hammond Email: will@backwardbrilliance.com Billy Samoa Saleebey LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa/ Email: billy@podify.com and saleebey@gmail.com Insight Out Website: https://www.insightoutshow.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This discussion focuses on how to recognize, evaluate, and manage neurologic (brain-related) cases in cattle. Common clinical signs include stumbling, circling, weakness, apparent blindness, head pressing, and paddling when animals are down, all of which indicate issues affecting the nervous system. Diagnosing these cases begins with key questions about the animal's age, environment, recent management changes, and how many animals are affected. Neurologic problems may stem from several major categories, including toxins, infectious diseases, and metabolic disorders, with each requiring a different response. Toxic causes are especially important, with lead exposure being one of the most common, particularly in young, curious animals. Other causes can include sulfur toxicity, water deprivation (salt toxicity), and certain feed or environmental exposures. A thorough physical exam and, when possible, necropsy and lab testing are critical steps in determining the exact cause. The number of animals affected can provide valuable clues, as widespread cases often suggest a shared exposure like a toxin. The discussion also highlights the importance of water management, especially in summer, emphasizing both water quality and access. Improper rehydration of severely dehydrated cattle can lead to fatal complications, so water must be reintroduced gradually. Overall, early investigation and veterinary involvement are essential to identify the root cause and prevent additional losses within the herd.
Most techs diagnose the one thing the customer called about, fix it, and leave. The best techs diagnose the whole system, because the thing they called about is never really on its own. That's the difference between a callback and a customer who buys the real fix. Chris Elmore breaks down what he calls common bonds: the things that tie every part of a home's system together. Age. Maintenance. Filtration. Construction. Two problems can look completely unrelated and still share the same water, the same age, the same install. Once you learn to see those bonds, you stop fixing isolated problems and start showing the customer the whole system, so they understand why the real fix matters instead of grabbing the cheapest band-aid. You'll learn: Why you start where the customer noticed the problem, not where you assume it is What common bonds are and how they connect problems that look unrelated How age, maintenance, filtration, and construction tie a whole system together How to set context and contrast in the first 15 minutes of a call Why technical excellence is the foundation under every communication skill Show notes and free resources: https://www.servextra.com/episodes/ Listen and subscribe: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5DlsGABopPu9Qq9NNhK4hu Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/windshield-time/id1386770507 All episodes: https://www.servextra.com/episodes/
Ekaterina Gamsriegler, former Head of Growth and Marketing at MyGroove and longtime advisor across music, education, and health apps, joins Apptivate to discuss why sustainable growth depends on systems rather than isolated wins. The conversation explores the nature of modern growth funnels, how creative strategy impacts retention and churn downstream, and why many teams optimize acquisition while misunderstanding activation and long-term value. Ekaterina and Taylor also discuss localization as a full-funnel growth lever, pricing strategy during high-intent seasonal periods, the realities of founder-led and offline growth channels, and how mapping the complete user journey can uncover hidden bottlenecks that data alone often misses. Questions addressed in this episode Why does Ekaterina compare growth systems to a house of cards? How do creative strategies affect retention and subscriber churn? What mistakes do apps make during seasonal growth periods like Q5? How should marketers evaluate long-term value instead of short-term ROAS? Why can localization improve the entire growth funnel? How did MyGroove grow paying subscribers 10x in one year? What role should brand, PR, and offline channels play in app growth? How should teams define activation properly? What should marketers focus on during their first 90 days at a company? How can apps balance credibility with accessibility for beginners?

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Carm Capriotto sits down with Todd Fortier, retiring automotive professor and program coordinator from Illinois Central College, to discuss a lesson learned over three decades in education: anyone can teach, but becoming a true educator requires purpose, empathy, and continuous growth. Todd shares how his passion for education was sparked by helping students experience those breakthrough "lightbulb moments" and why the ultimate goal of teaching is not simply delivering information, but ensuring meaningful knowledge transfer. As he prepares for retirement, Todd reflects on the challenges facing automotive education and his mission to help develop the next generation of industry instructors. What You'll Learn Why technical expertise alone doesn't make someone an effective instructorHow educators can improve knowledge transfer and student engagementTodd's "Three C's" framework: Concern, Cause, and CorrectionWhy connection, empathy, and vulnerability are critical teaching toolsHow to identify the root causes behind student disengagementThe importance of recognizing the personal challenges students bring into the classroomWhy many students leave training programs early and how educators can help retain themHow trainers and mentors can evolve into true educatorsThe soft skills needed to successfully connect with today's students and technicians The best educators do more than share information, they build relationships. Todd Fortier's career demonstrates that teaching is most effective when instructors combine technical knowledge with empathy, curiosity, and genuine human connection. As the automotive industry works to address technician shortages and workforce development challenges, creating better educators may be one of the most important investments the industry can make.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Host Carm Capriotto welcomes Chris Lawson, founder of Technician Find, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing independent auto repair shops today: finding and keeping great technicians. Chris explains why many shop owners fall into what he calls "fire alarm syndrome," waiting until a technician leaves before starting the hiring process. That reactive approach often leads to rushed decisions, poor hires, and ongoing turnover. Instead, he advocates for an "Always Be Recruiting" mindset, where shops continuously build relationships with potential candidates long before they have an opening. The conversation explores practical strategies for becoming a destination workplace, creating a recruiting pipeline, and building a culture that attracts top talent in a competitive market. What You'll Learn Why reactive hiring creates costly staffing problemsHow to build a bench of pre-qualified technicians before you need themWhy becoming "10-mile famous" can help attract both technicians and customersHow culture-focused marketing can outperform traditional help-wanted adsThe three things technicians value most: respect, growth, and compensationWhy sign-on bonuses often fail and how to structure them more effectivelyPractical ways to engage passive candidates who are not actively job huntingResources available through Chris Lawson's free online community for shop owners The best time to recruit a technician is before you need one. Shops that continuously market their culture, build relationships with local talent, and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates are better positioned to grow, avoid staffing emergencies, and create a workplace where top technicians want to stay. Recruiting is no longer an occasional task. It is an ongoing business strategy. Chris Lawson, TechnicianFind.Com Love your shop? Stay, but stay ready.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Recorded live at the 2026 TST Big Event, Carm Capriotto sits down with automotive trainer Ken Zanders to discuss the importance of ongoing technical education, building efficient diagnostic processes, and adapting to rapidly evolving vehicle technology. Ken explains why too many shops still rely on a chaotic “grocery list” approach to repairs and how a structured diagnostic strategy can dramatically improve technician efficiency, profitability, and customer trust. What You'll Learn Why inefficient diagnostic habits directly reduce technician productivity, shop profitability, and overall earning potential.The importance of following a structured diagnostic workflow instead of guessing and replacing parts.How electronic relative compression testing with a lab scope and amperage probe can reduce diagnostic time from hours to minutes.How modern vehicle technologies like GM's Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP) and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates are changing diagnostics and repair procedures.Why continuous education is no longer optional for automotive professionals working on today's advanced vehicle systems. The biggest takeaway from this episode is that repair shops cannot afford to operate in constant chaos and guesswork. A reactive “grocery list” approach to diagnostics leads to wasted time, unnecessary parts replacement, lower profits, and poor customer outcomes. To succeed in today's increasingly complex automotive industry, shop owners must create a year-round training strategy that helps technicians diagnose efficiently, think critically, and continuously improve their skills. Structured processes, modern testing methods, and ongoing education are no longer advantages; they are necessities for survival and growth.

You're guessing. There's a critical difference between CRO that looks smart and CRO that actually moves revenue, and most businesses have never seen the real thing.In this episode, I sit down with Ned MacPherson, the Director of CRO at Tier 11. Ned built and scaled his CRO and analytics agency to 30+ people before a successful private equity acquisition in late 2023, working with brands from early-stage DTC all the way up to Fortune 50 companies. He breaks down exactly why the industry's default CRO approach is not just ineffective but can actively hurt your conversion rate.By the end of this three-part series, you'll know what the "metric on fire" framework looks like and why checkout funnel drop-off data means completely different things depending on where it happens. You'll also discover how improving your on-site conversion rate creates a compounding halo effect in your Meta and Google ad performance.In this Episode:- How to identify the right funnel metrics to drive change and maximize ROI- Real-world examples of how CRO strategies lead to huge revenue growth- Why testing different approaches is critical to uncovering what's driving conversions- Practical tips on conducting a CRO audit and interpreting website data- Incremental vs. giant leaps with CRO strategies- How integrating CRO with media buying improves ad performance- The power of qualitative direct feedback from customersListen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuKSubscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@perpetual_traffic?sub_confirmation=1We Appreciate Your Support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/Follow us on X: https://x.com/perpetualtrafConnect with Ned MacPherson:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nedmacpherson/Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburnsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ralphhburns/Hire Tier11 - https://www.tiereleven.com/apply-nowMentioned in this episode:We're opening up sponsorship spots for Q1 and Q2! https://perpetualtraffic.com/advertise-with-us/https://perpetualtraffic.com/advertise-with-us/https://perpetualtraffic.com/advertise-with-us/Apply for an ad spot on Perpetual Traffic for Q1 or Q2.

The meltdown. The defiance. The constant "look at me." It's easy to wonder if something is wrong. But most of the time, these aren't signs of a disorder — they're signs of development still in progress. In this episode, Dr. Greg explores what's really underneath "behavior problems," why children can't be diagnosed with personality disorders, and why the question that changes everything isn't "what's wrong with my child?" — but "what does my child need from me right now?" Key Topics: Why children cannot be diagnosed with personality disorders — and what's actually happening when their behavior looks like one How emotional regulation is learned, not innate — and what co-regulation actually looks like Why a child's dramatic, self-centered, or defiant behavior is often developmentally appropriate What it means when a child borrows a parent's nervous system — and why that steadiness is the foundation Why the patterns we see in our kids so often point back to something in us How a parent's own unhealed wounds shape the environment a child grows up inside Why admitting our own imperfection is one of the most formative things we can give our children Learn More: CatholicPsych Newsletter - Sign up to stay connected and hear the latest developments!
