Ever since they were first introduced in the United States in 1973, barcodes have been part of our everyday consumer lives. They helped stores around the world transition to digital, but their days are numbered. That's right, traditional barcodes are due to be gradually replaced by 2D versions as part of a worldwide initiative called Sunrise 2027. It's led by GS1, the nonprofit standards organization that oversees the barcode industry. How do barcodes actually work? What's the difference between barcodes and QR codes?

We know we are going to die, as difficult as that concept is to get our arms around, but we may imagine that our life’s work, our stuff, must be preserved because it will live on forever, particularly as we can now capture it in digital form. Some might say that we are living in an era of permanent memory: everything is stored, searchable, and retrievable, especially now as AI systems ingest vast archives of human speech, images and text. But our guest on this podcast, noted Professor of History at Stanford University, Thomas Mullaney, author of “How We Disappear: A Personal History of Information” provides us with a more unsettling truth: information doesn’t naturally endure. It breaks down, scatters, becomes unaffordable to recover, and far more than we would like to admit, simply vanishes. As you’ll discover the forces of entropy (he’ll define it in this context) are more powerful and natural than the order we try to create and sustain. It just is. He’s a fascinating man and it’s a topic I was privileged to explore with him.
"Perpetrator and victim drove out almost daily in the late evening hours in a vehicle and later returned."In the summer of 2006, Germany was hosting the World Cup. Cities and towns throughout the country were energized, and on the evening of 20 June 2006, 21-year-old nursing student Frauke Liebs went to a pub in the city of Paderborn to watch the England-Sweden match with friends. While there, she visited and texted until her phone battery died. She stayed until just after 11:00 PM, then headed home with less than five euros in her pocket.The walk home was a little over a kilometer and a half. It should have taken her fifteen minutes or so, and on a warm summer evening with the streets lit up by the glow of the World Cup, no less. But she never made it home and nobody saw her walking that night. Yet over the next week, her loved ones would receive strange phone calls and texts from Frauke, claiming that she'd be home soon...Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

Thomas Mullaney is a historian at Stanford University. After his father died, Mullaney began to think about the archive he left behind: papers, documents, photos, objects and more. How We Disappear is a personal and academic history of information – and the role information plays in a naturally chaotic universe. In today's episode, Mullaney joins Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd for a conversation about the small pieces that form our identities, a concept historians called “original order” and why How We Disappear is really a book about entropy.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

From the publisher: "When world-renowned scholar Thomas S. Mullaney “lost” both his parents, he began thinking of how information—all the stuff that makes us, that we make, and that we leave behind—ultimately disappears. The information that makes up our lives, from mundane official documents, poignant family photos, and sentimental artifacts to the cues embodied in our genes, both defines us, and inevitably decays, no matter the medium. Everything that we put “in formation” eventually collapses into randomness. Never is this more evident than in the wake of a parent's death. Yet from all these elusive, even evanescent, data points, history is written and a future is made.How We Disappear is a wide-ranging examination of the micro and macro, toggling between storytelling from Mullaney's own life and his reflection on the science of entropy and the nature and history of information. Lyrical and poignant, the book offers inspiring and eye-opening insight on the miracle of existence, and on what it means to forge meaning from a chaotic universe."Thomas Mullaney's website can be found at https://www.tsmullaney.com/He is on social media at https://x.com/tsmullaneyInformation on his book can be found at https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324020783AxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Why every college application looks the same — and how to avoid the mistake that costs strong students scholarship and financial aid money. Andy Lockwood calls it application incest. Andy Lockwood of Lockwood College Prep hosts College Coffee Talk, a weekly show on college admissions, the college essay, and paying for college. Same grades. Same GPA. Same SAT scores, more or less. Same extracurricular activities. And increasingly, the same essays — because everyone is using the same tools to write them. Andy calls it application incest, and it is why genuinely strong students disappear inside the pile. The antidote is not a better vocabulary or a more dramatic story. It is detail so specific and so personal that no other applicant could have written it — the thing an AI detector can't fake and a committee can't forget. ────────── IN THIS EPISODE • Application incest — what happens when every college application in the stack has the same grades, scores, activities, and essays. • Why strong students disappear: sameness, not weakness, is what buries a good college application. • A real story from this admissions season and what it revealed about how families approach the college essay. • When colleges let you meet an admissions officer directly, and why those opportunities have quietly disappeared. • The overworked school counselor problem — handling multiple students at once, and what that means for your family. • The draft that was doing too much: how to spot the college essay that sounds like everyone else's. • Colleges now running AI detection on essays, how unreliable those tools actually are, and why that matters to honest applicants. • The antidote: specific, personal, vulnerable detail that only your student could have written. ────────── ABOUT LOCKWOOD COLLEGE PREP Andy Lockwood and Pearl Lockwood run Lockwood College Prep in Glen Head, Long Island, working with families nationwide on college admissions, the college essay, and financial aid. Their P4 system — Plan, Path, Position, Pay Wholesale — helps families pick a college that fits and pay far less than sticker price.

Klara Nahrstedt is a Computer Science Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign whose research has spent decades asking a deceptively simple question: how can technology make communication between people feel more real?Long before that became her career, Klara grew up in a world where communication itself was restricted.Her mother left Czechoslovakia for Stanford in the late 1960s, expecting the rest of the family would eventually follow. Then the political situation changed and the borders closed. Klara stayed behind and later studied and worked in East Germany.She remembers living in East Berlin, seeing the Berlin Wall, and knowing she could not cross it. When her mother visited, they eventually had to say goodbye at Friedrichstraße. Her mother could leave. Klara could not.Even access to scientific information had limits. Klara recalls Western journals that were available only to Communist Party members. If you were outside that system, certain knowledge could remain out of reach.Then, in January 1990, she left East Germany for the United States. She calls it the best decision she ever made.America felt almost surreal. After growing up with shortages, she saw aisle after aisle of choices in a Philadelphia grocery store. At the University of Pennsylvania, she encountered computers, networks, and robotics systems far beyond what she had previously used.That transition led to a career working on high-speed networks, real-time video, tele-immersion, 3D video, virtual reality, augmented reality, and distributed computing.The challenge is often the same: moving increasingly rich information across networks fast enough that humans do not notice the delay.Later, Klara helped develop tele-immersion systems where dancers at Illinois and Berkeley could appear in the same virtual 3D environment and perform together thousands of miles apart.Today, she is thinking about what comes next.What if a remote student could appear to sit in an empty chair inside a classroom? What if people physically present could meet alongside others rendered into the room through augmented reality? What if the internet could transmit not only video and audio, but touch and even smell?A digitally generated smell still has to travel through the air to your nose. Haptic systems may require responses faster than ordinary operating systems can provide. Virtual reality must update quickly enough that differences between what your eyes see and your body feels do not make you sick.At the center of it all is one of multimedia's hardest questions: what information does a person actually need?If you are looking at one part of a virtual room, why transmit every pixel in the rest of it at full resolution?That is where machine learning becomes useful.But when asked why she has not spent the entire conversation talking about AI, Klara gives a simple answer: AI is a tool.For her, the mistake is starting with whatever technology is fashionable and then searching for a problem to attach it to. She starts with the problem. If machine learning helps, use it. If the problem requires networking, optimization, computer vision, or distributed systems, use those instead.She gives similar advice to students: knowing AI alone is not enough. Become useful across several domains. Study outside your major. Read beyond engineering. Travel. Meet people from different cultures. Learn how other people think.Scientific knowledge matters, but understanding people and knowing how to communicate with them may matter just as much.Klara grew up in a system where borders separated families and access to information could depend on politics. She came to America and found a world overflowing with information, technology, people, and possibility.She has spent much of her career trying to remove another kind of distance.Not the Berlin Wall this time, but the technological distance between one human being and another.

Some famous landmarks might not be around forever, so catch them while you can! The Statue of Liberty is facing threats from rising sea levels, and the Sphinx in Giza is slowly being eroded by pollution and wind. The Eiffel Tower, despite being made of iron, is susceptible to rust and wear over time. The Taj Mahal is battling pollution and a weakening foundation. These iconic sites are at risk, so visiting them sooner rather than later is a good idea! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

https://19-minutes.supercast.comAI has moved well beyond writing emails and answering simple questions. Vance Crowe joins Shay Foulk to explain how he is using it to handle bookkeeping, analyze nearly 500 podcast conversations, build digital tools, and uncover patterns in information that would otherwise sit unused.The bigger opportunity isn't creating more content or doing more work just because it is possible. It is removing the time spent searching, organizing, and copying information, then using that time for better decisions, clearer communication, and work that still requires human judgment.They discuss:Why anyone who dismissed AI six months ago should test it againHow “thinking AI,” “doing AI,” and connected agents could reshape repetitive workWhat farmers can learn from years of vendor records, receipts, PDFs, and other dataWhy good AI use should make information simpler instead of creating more slopWhat AI-assisted music and media raise about creativity, trust, and authenticityHow reducing friction applies to work, family, health, and changing farm seasonsWhere human attention, judgment, and original thought still matterVance also explains his Interest-Based Communication course in St. Louis, where small groups work through real conflicts, negotiations, and the challenge of getting good ideas understood.Learn more about Vance and the course:https://articulate.ventures/ibc#AIinAgriculture #FarmManagement #AgTechnology

At their lowest point, fewer than 1,000 grizzly bears remained in the lower 48 states — pushed out of 98% of their historic range by bounties, poison, and fear. In this episode of Back From The Brink from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant sits down with wildlife biologist and Tooth and Claw podcast co-host Wes Larson to tell the full story of how grizzlies came back — from the garbage dump bears of Yellowstone to the ranchers opening their land, to the corridors slowly reconnecting a species to its home.Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom is back with the series, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild!

Have you ever wondered why you keep people-pleasing, over-explaining, fixing, accommodating, or staying silent—even when you know you're abandoning yourself?Awareness isn't always enough to change the pattern because underneath self-abandonment is often something much deeper: fear.Fear of rejection. Fear of conflict. Fear of disappointing someone. Fear of being “too much.” Fear that if you stop being who someone needs you to be, you might lose the relationship altogether.In this episode of Masks Off, Kim explores why losing ourselves can actually feel safer than remaining fully ourselves in relationship—and why healing isn't about becoming fearless.You'll learn how to recognize the fear underneath your people-pleasing, understand the role of your Inner Controller, and begin practicing something different: staying connected to yourself even when someone else is uncomfortable.Because freedom doesn't mean you stop caring what people think.It means their reaction no longer determines whether you leave yourself.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face fresh criticism over their post-royal business strategy, with royal commentator Kinsey Schofield advising them to “disappear professionally” and focus on fewer, stronger projects. Newsweek reports a significant drop in traffic to Meghan's As Ever website, while another report claims Meghan wants members of the Royal Family to publicly support the brand. Plus, Harry reportedly plans more frequent UK visits, critics push back against any royal rehabilitation, and Jennie Bond argues Harry may finally be creating the kind of half-in, half-out life he originally wanted.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

Joe Rogan just delivered one of his most emotional and explosive statements yet about Dr. Anthony Fauci and the COVID vaccine controversy.During the discussion, Rogan claimed that he personally knows five women who became pregnant during the pandemic, received the COVID vaccine, and later suffered miscarriages. He then accused Fauci of knowing privately about potential concerns while continuing to publicly encourage vaccination.Rogan did not hold back:“I personally know 5 different people…”He went even further, calling Fauci a “sociopath” and urging people to examine Fauci's history going all the way back to the AIDS crisis and AZT.In this video, Professor Nez breaks down Rogan's remarks, the allegations surrounding Fauci, why this moment became so emotional, and what questions Americans should be asking now.Important: The statements regarding vaccines, miscarriage, and Dr. Fauci discussed in this video are claims and opinions attributed to Joe Rogan. Temporal association does not by itself establish that a vaccine caused a miscarriage, and this video is commentary rather than medical advice.
Rod Santomassimo says half of commercial brokers could vanish in 5 years, and he's already using AI to prove it.Rod Santomassimo is the founder of the Massimo Group and a five time bestselling author. His newest book, Selling Buildings, was co written with Bob Knakal, the most prolific commercial building broker in US history. In this conversation, Rod and Jack cover both sides of a sale: what investors are quietly leaving on the table when they sell, and how fast AI is reshaping who does the work of brokerage itself.Rod walks through the "vanity play versus sanity play" test for pricing, the pro forma red flags he sees investors miss, and why he believes roughly half of the 100,000 commercial real estate brokers in the US could be replaced by AI within five years. He also gets specific about the tools he uses daily, including how Claude now compresses days of underwriting work into minutes.Key topics:Why Rod says half of commercial brokers could be gone within five yearsThe vanity play vs sanity play test for pricing a saleThe most common mistake investors make before listing a propertyWhy a fully competitive bid process matters even with an offer in handHow Rod uses Claude and Anthropic to speed up underwritingThe story behind a building fire the day before closing, and what it taught Bob Knakal about buyer motivationGuest bio:Rod Santomassimo is the founder of the Massimo Group, a coaching and training firm for commercial real estate brokers, and the author of five books including the new release Selling Buildings, co written with Bob Knakal.#️⃣ Hashtags#RealEstateInvesting #CommercialRealEstate #AIinRealEstate #RealDealChat #CommercialBrokers #ClaudeAI #RealEstateBrokers #InvestingTips #PropertyInvesting #RealEstateTech #SellingBuildings #AIToolsLinks:Learn more about Rod at massimo.coachWork With RealDealCrewIf you're already closing deals but your intake, follow-up, or visibility feels inconsistent, here are two ways to go deeper:Take the Deal Intake AssessmentSee how resilient your current operation actually is.→ https://assessment.realdealcrew.comBook a Fit CallIf you want to explore what a fully system-driven deal flow looks like, let's talk.→ https://realdealcrew.com/bookLIKE • SHARE • JOIN • REVIEWWebsiteApple PodcastsYouTubeYouTube MusicSpotifyAmazon MusicFacebookTwitterInstagram

AI isn't just coming for jobs — it could completely reshape the middle class.Marquett breaks down his prediction for an AI-driven economy: disappearing office jobs, a widening wealth gap, the future of skilled trades, universal basic income, and why simply being a consumer of AI may leave millions economically vulnerable.He also challenges the idea that UBI will create a comfortable future and explains why learning to produce with AI — rather than simply consume it — could become one of the biggest economic advantages of the next decade.Is this where the economy is really headed, or is the threat of AI being overstated?
Somebody in Quincy, Illinois just became insanely rich, somebody else allegedly treated a Morgan Wallen concert like his own personal bathroom, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's Rizzuto Show.The crew kicks things off with the massive Powerball jackpot and the one winning ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois. Naturally, instead of simply congratulating this newly minted billionaire and moving along like mature adults, we immediately start spending their money for them. Lump sum or annuity? Buy an island or stay in the same house? Disappear forever or become the richest tractor enthusiast in the Midwest? This funny podcast tackles all the responsible financial questions that absolutely nobody should trust us to answer.Moon also wonders whether the mystery winner could somehow be his cousin, which leads to dreams of farmland, giant gardens, tractors, demolition derby cars and the kind of billionaire lifestyle that says, “Yes, I have generational wealth, but I still know how to fix this carburetor.”Then things take a hard turn. And by “hard turn,” we mean the kind of conversational detour only The Rizzuto Show could make.We get an update on Michael Phillips, the North Carolina man who previously went viral for openly discussing his micropenis condition and is now preparing for an enhancement procedure. Rizz actually donated to the crowdfunding campaign, because apparently this show occasionally uses its powers for good between making every possible inappropriate joke about the situation.From there, welcome to The Urine Chronicles.The man accused of urinating on seated concertgoers during a Morgan Wallen show has finally been arrested, reopening one of the great philosophical debates of our time: what exactly are you legally, morally and spiritually allowed to do when a stranger starts peeing on you? Rizz has some thoughts. Rafe has some extremely specific defensive strategies. Lern consults the internet. Moon attempts to introduce reason into the discussion, which—as longtime listeners know—is usually where everything goes wrong.There's also a trip through history as the crew marks the anniversary of the Berlin Wall going up, complete with escape stories, Moon's memories of visiting Berlin and the historically impeccable reminder that David Hasselhoff personally brought the whole thing down. Please do not cite this funny podcast in your dissertation.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, featuring Diddy's prison update and a debate over whether celebrities can ever truly become untouchable after major scandals. The crew gets into Ozzy Osbourne's “Crazy Train” passing one billion Spotify streams, new Phoebe Bridgers music, upcoming rock documentaries, Jason Sudeikis joining Mumford & Sons for the Ted Lasso theme, Seinfeld remaining comfort-food television, Rory Scovel's comedy special, Star Wars fatigue, Ewan McGregor's willingness to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Julie Andrews stepping away from Princess Diaries 3.Plus, celebrity fan encounters get deeply weird. Dolly Parton once had a baby left on her doorstep. The Jonas Brothers received a preserved baby shark. Rupert Grint apparently accepted an invitation to party with drag queens until 4 a.m. And James McAvoy got presented with perhaps the most direct hall-pass proposal imaginable.Throw in birthdays, St. Louis references, inappropriate detours and enough pop culture commentary to make your search history look deeply concerning, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the billion-dollar dreams.

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
Episode SummaryReceiving an osteoporosis diagnosis can feel overwhelming, frightening, and isolating. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson shares the real stories she hears from women every day and explains why a DEXA scan should be the beginning of the conversation—not the end.Debi discusses common misconceptions surrounding osteoporosis, why bone health requires a whole-body approach, and how lifestyle factors such as gut health, nutrition, movement, stress, sleep, and hormone health all influence bone remodeling.

In this episode, Ricardo reflects on reactions to his newsletter about project management in the age of AI. He stresses that he is not predicting the future but encouraging professionals to question assumptions and prepare for rapid change. Although some readers considered his views alarmist, he argues that learning AI carries little downside: even if its impact is smaller than expected, new skills remain valuable. However, ignoring AI could be risky if organizations continue redesigning structures, PMOs, governance, roles, and teams. Ricardo believes project management will not disappear, but it will evolve significantly. His central concern is helping younger professionals remain relevant, adaptable, and responsible for their choices in a world changing faster than ever before through continuous learning and reflection.

The midterm elections are taking shape around some of the biggest issues facing the country: border security, government accountability, foreign influence, and the cultural battles reshaping America. Jesse Kelly breaks down the stories driving the national conversation, from Americans killed by criminal illegal immigrants to the unanswered questions surrounding COVID-era decisions, Cuba’s influence operations, and the debate over how vulnerable young people have been treated. With control of Washington on the line, this episode examines the political environment heading into the midterms, the challenges facing both parties, and why messaging, trust, and public confidence in institutions will play a major role in the months ahead.

What happens when you start writing, producing, and mixing like the forest, not the trees, and you leave your worries behind?My guest today is Micah Tawlks - producer, mixer, songwriter, and artist based in Nashville, working out of his home studio in Whites Creek. Micah first joined us back on RSR324, and he's back to go even deeper into the intersection of writing, recording, and mixing. He's known for work with COIN, Hayley Williams, Louis Prince, Judah & the Lion, The Lone Bellow, Stephen Day, Ben Rector, and many more, including immersive Atmos mixes with Matt Wallace.In this episode, we dig into how writing sessions actually unfold when they happen in your studio - the unexpected ways a simple co-write can turn into full production, vocal sessions weeks later, or a finished track if the artist or publisher decides to cut it. Micah describes the different roles he shifts between: offering lyric help when invited, contributing chords and melody, arranging on the fly, or simply running a fast demo session when that's what the artist wants.We also talk about the balance between paid studio work and free co-writes, how he and his manager evaluate opportunities, and why some ideas need months to find their artist, while others get cut immediately. He explains what co-writing in pairs vs. groups actually feels like, why some writers don't want lyrical collaboration at all, and how recording the first 20 minutes of small talk often captures the best emotional ideas of the day.Micah walks us through his recent engineering day at Blackbird, choosing from huge mic lockers (multiple U47s, C12s, 67s on toms, etc.), working quickly on the console, and how “fast in a big studio” still relies on the same preparation habits as working fast at home.In the writing room, we get into why clicks can kill a session, how he builds musical rhythmic loops as “human clicks,” when he performs his own time feel into a mic so the grid follows a human instead of the other way around, and how artists respond differently to tempo when the groove feels alive.Finally, we talk mixing: keeping rough mix intent intact, charging a flat rate, when to recommend another mixer, and how honoring an artist's stylistic world guides the whole process. Micah's advice to his younger self?

Busch Gardens Tampa is closing Kumba, one of the most beloved B&M sit-down coasters ever built and the fourth-oldest operating B&M in the world, on August 2nd. Mike and EB spend the first drop giving a 33-year-old classic its proper send-off — the terrain-hugging layout, the iconic photo op under the corkscrew, the fact that it opened the same year Mike graduated high school — before digging into what "Kumba's Revenge" and a $100 million investment might mean for the space it leaves behind. From there, the news gets genuinely interesting: a strong rumor that Disney World's Space Mountain could get fully gutted and rebuilt from the inside out (with the guys making the case for why the purists are wrong this time), a D23 session themed to the Carousel of Progress that's being hosted by none other than Coaster Radio's own announcer, Neil Patrick Harris, and a reveal date for Six Flags Great Adventure's mysterious Project Purple — teased via a barnacle-covered shipping container reading "GVV," which may or may not stand for a name neither host can bring themselves to like. After the break, EB dives into a genuinely enormous care package from a listener packed with park maps, hats, collectible coins, and ceramic bourbon poker chips, before the two get into the show's real centerpiece this week: BlooLoop's list of the 26 best theme park attractions in the world. It's a sprawling, hotly contested countdown spanning six continents' worth of dark rides, and Mike and EB don't hold back — disagreeing hard on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, defending Pirates of the Caribbean's 60-year-old technology, and debating whether a ride that's been open for a matter of months deserves to be crowned the single best attraction on the planet.
As a historian who teaches a class called “The History of Information,” Stanford professor Thomas Mullaney has spent decades thinking about the unreliability of archival materials in understanding the past, subject as they are to decay, disorder and obsolescence. But it wasn't until his own father died and he scrambled to preserve the evidence of his life that he decided to write a personal history of information about how we disappear from the historical record and from the world. We talk with Mullaney about his new book, “How We Disappear: A Personal History of Information.” Thomas Mullaney, professor, Stanford University; author, “How We Disappear: A Personal History of Information” Learn more about your ad choices.

Mirco Gerling: The Silence Test — How to Know Your Team Doesn't Need You Anymore Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Don't talk too much. And only talk if it's necessary." - Mirco Gerling For Mirco, success as a Scrum Master starts with a simple rule he had to fight for: don't try to be someone else. Early in his career, when people kept saying "Mirco, you decide, you're the Scrum Master," he had to do the hard work of pushing back — "no, we decide together." That instinct shapes his whole definition of success. Be authentic. Wait before you speak. Ask before you instruct. And when a discussion stalls, sit with the silence — because in most cases, someone in the team has a better idea than you do. The cleanest test of whether a team is truly self-managing? Disappear. When Mirco took two months of parental leave, his team kept running every Scrum event without him. That's the signal. If you stop sending the sprint review invite, stop preparing the retrospective, stop nudging — and the team picks it up because they own it — your work is showing. Self-reflection Question: What's one thing you currently do for your team that you suspect they would do themselves if you simply stopped doing it? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: 1-2-4-All from Liberating Structures Mirco's universal tool is Liberating Structures, and within that toolbox, 1-2-4-All is his go-to. The pitch: "involve everybody, especially in large groups. And there's nearly no preparation needed." His proof point — facilitating a retrospective for 60 people at the Agile by Nature bar camp in just 20 minutes. The format scales from a team of five to a room of sixty without changing its shape: one minute alone, two minutes in pairs, four minutes in small groups, then a share-back with the whole group. During a 30°C COVID summer in Hamburg, Mirco even ran retros walking outdoors with his team — station to station, down to the lake for ice cream, then back. "It was a very good and constructive retrospective." The lesson: the right structure makes you portable. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Service Business Mastery - Business Tips and Strategies for the Service Industry
Most home service companies do not have a lead problem. They have a missed-call problem. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Chris Nelson, Senior Manager of Vertical Marketing at CallRail, to talk about why home service leads disappear, how missed calls turn into lost revenue, and what contractors can do to better understand what is happening inside their call flow. This conversation is not just about answering the phone faster. It is about understanding where your leads come from, how they move through your business, and where good opportunities get lost before they ever turn into booked jobs. Chris breaks down how call tracking, call routing, CRM integrations, AI voice assistants, and conversation intelligence can help contractors see the real story behind their marketing spend and customer calls. They also discuss: Why missed calls are one of the most expensive leaks in a home service business How call routing helps contractors get the right calls to the right people Why attribution is harder now that homeowners use Google, social media, AI search, referrals, and other touchpoints before calling How AI voice assistants can support CSR teams with overflow, after-hours calls, and basic call handling Why call data and conversation intelligence help owners coach their teams and make smarter marketing decisions If you are spending money on marketing but still missing calls, losing track of leads, or struggling to understand which channels are actually creating revenue, this episode will help you see why better call visibility matters.

Contemporary technology governance has shifted from rule-based regulation to a landscape defined by administrative leverage and directive-driven decisions. This dynamic is seen in both the cybersecurity and AI sectors, where agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense and companies including OpenAI and Anthropic navigate obligations and approvals through administrative action rather than statutory change. As a result, MSPs and IT service providers must recognize that the durability of their offerings and client architectures increasingly hinges on how they respond to rapid, unpredictable shifts in the governing environment rather than on fixed compliance deadlines or product release dates. A notable example of this mechanism is the Department of Defense's suspension of the rollout of Phase Two of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), as reported by Federal News Network. About 80,000 companies had been preparing for new third-party assessment requirements, but these assessments have been paused pending a 60-day review. Despite the pause, the underlying data protection requirements for defense contractors remain in force, demonstrating that while compliance deadlines can disappear overnight, fundamental security obligations persist. Additional cases amplify the trend toward directive-based governance. The U.S. Commerce Department lifted export restrictions on Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after new safeguards were implemented, following the same pattern previously used to impose those restrictions. Similarly, OpenAI's GPT 5.6 model was released to the public only after a voluntary government review concluded, illustrating that administrative reviews, not boardroom decisions, can dictate technology availability. Concurrently, other governments such as China are employing similar tactics, with Reuters reporting that Chinese authorities have met with local AI firms to discuss restricting overseas access to advanced models. These parallel moves across geopolitical boundaries indicate a structural reliance on executive discretion rather than legislative clarity. The operational impact for MSPs, IT service providers, and technology leaders is a heightened exposure to contract risk and pricing volatility. Service commitments anchored to deadlines, default settings, or product availability are susceptible to abrupt policy reversals or administrative interventions, translating to sudden revenue shortfalls and reactive client management. The recommended response is to audit current commitments, identify those pegged to mutable triggers rather than enduring obligations, and systematically re-anchor contract language and client communication to core outcomes and standing requirements. This preparation mitigates the risk of unpaid work, scope renegotiation, and unplanned operational disruption when another directive-driven policy shift occurs. 00:00 Three Government Switches in Three Weeks 04:07 Why AI Is Governed by Leverage, Not Law 06:46 CMMC Paused — Your Obligations Didn't 09:27 Why Do We Care?

Send us Fan MailMichael Kloepper, former commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade and current Brigade Tactical Officer at the United States Military Academy, joins Joe to explore leadership, readiness, and the responsibility to pass hard-earned lessons to the next generation.This episode examines what it means for a generation of leaders shaped by more than two decades of war to “empty the rucksack” before leaving the Army. Michael reflects on the urgency he and many of his peers feel to pass on what they learned through success, failure, command, and combat so future generations do not have to repeat the same mistakes.Colonel Kloepper also shares how his experiences in battalion and brigade command shaped his views on mental, physical, and spiritual readiness. Rather than simply pointing soldiers toward more resources, he believes leaders and chains of command have a responsibility to create healthier organizations. He explains how programs built around outdoor challenges, shared hardship, reflection, and time with teammates helped reduce high-risk behavior while strengthening trust and readiness.Joe and Michael also discuss:Why learning organizations must do more than collect informationWhy leaders should invest in people before problems occur instead of only responding afterwardHow shared challenges and time outdoors can strengthen teams and reduce destructive behaviorWhy people fight for what they believe inWhy accessibility matters, especially when information is not moving through the chain of commandThe difference between highlighting problems and becoming a reactionary leaderWhy presence remains one of the most important qualities of leadershipWhat lieutenants and captains should understand about character, toughness, command authority, and exampleWhat Mike has learned from leading and developing cadets at West PointThis episode is for leaders who want to build stronger organizations, invest more deeply in their people, and pass hard-earned lessons forward. It is also for veterans reflecting on what their service meant, commanders trying to create healthier teams, and anyone who believes leadership begins with presence, trust, and the willingness to stand alongside people when things are hard.Watch the interview on YouTubeA special thanks to this week's sponsors!Dunedain Systems is a veteran-founded defense technology company building Warmind, an AI platform that accelerates military planning, operations, and document generation.
