Let's talk about the conversation that sends me over the edge every single time: the gender pay gap, and what it REALLY costs women of color. This week I'm joined by Jocelyn Frye, President of the National Partnership for Women & Families, to break down what's actually driving the gap (spoiler: it's not "women's choices"), why the national averages hide what's happening to Latinas and Black women specifically, and what policy changes could put real money back in our pockets. We get into the wealth gap math (we're talking a MILLION dollars over a career, mi gente), the motherhood penalty, why DEI rollbacks are making things worse, and what you can actually do right now if you find out you're getting paid less than your coworker.WE GET INTO:00:00 — Intro: Why we're still talking about the pay gap in 202602:15 — What are we actually measuring when we say "pay gap"?04:17 — Debunking the "it's just women's choices" myth06:37 — The real numbers: 76 cents, 54 cents, and what the average hides08:24 — Why education alone doesn't close the gap10:35 — The unpaid care work baked into how workplaces are built11:47 — The wealth gap: what losing $900K–$1M actually looks like13:23 — Finding power in a hopeless-feeling conversation16:27 — The motherhood penalty, explained19:46 — Why so many moms are choosing entrepreneurship instead20:38 — Black and Latina moms as breadwinners22:40 — Do salary transparency laws actually work?23:57 — What to do if you find out you're underpaid26:28 — How DEI rollbacks are showing up in real workplaces30:24 — The "trad wife" pushback and what it means for women's choices35:06 — Jocelyn's 3 policy wishes for women's financial security37:17 — State level wins and what's next39:54 — Grounding policy in your actual paycheck43:15 — What you can do right now, no Congress required48:00 — What gives Jocelyn hope51:23 — How to support the National Partnership for Women & FamiliesKEY TAKEAWAYS:→ Latinas earn closer to 54 cents for every dollar paid to men, and the gap widens further when you break it down by race and part-time status.→ Education alone won't close this gap; the same degree, same experience, and there's still a pay gap. This is systemic, not individual.→ Black women lose an estimated $900K over a 40 year career because of the pay gap. For Latinas, that number can hit $1M.→ Motherhood changes everything financially. Moms who step out of the workforce to care for kids come back behind, and most never fully catch up.→ Caregiving is invisible labor with a real cost. Workplaces were built around a male default that assumes someone else, usually women, will handle caregiving for free.→ DEI rollbacks aren't just political theater, they're making it "safer" for employers to avoid hiring women and people of color, and harder to document discrimination at all.→ Salary transparency actually works. Posting pay ranges and banning salary history questions closes gaps faster than you'd think.→ You have options if you find a pay gap. Document it, talk to HR, and know that local civil rights and know your rights organizations exist for exactly this.→ State policy is already working. Comprehensive paid leave, universal pre-K, and childcare caps are already law in some states, and they're the blueprint for what's possible nationally.CONNECT WITH JOCELYN:

Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Arthur O'Meara Published: September 16, 2026 Length: ~12 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary What separates a good tariff classifier from a great one? According to longtime Global Training Center instructor Arthur O'Meara, it comes down to mastering the fundamentals—and consistently following a process. In week two of this Simply Trade Tips series, host Lalo Solorzano and Arthur dig into tariff classification and the details trade professionals can't afford to overlook. Arthur highlights two essential tools: the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) and the notes that accompany the Harmonized System, including section notes and chapter notes. Those notes can define materials, establish boundaries, identify exclusions, and ultimately change where a product belongs. But knowing the rules is only part of the equation. Arthur explains why importers should have a documented tariff classification process that reflects what they actually do—and then follow that process consistently as part of practicing reasonable care. The conversation also tackles AI and classification. AI can be useful, but Arthur warns against confirmation bias and illustrates why human review and sound classification methodology remain critical. The takeaway is simple: have a process, follow it, and read the notes. Main Topic / Discussion Tariff classification is a game of details. Arthur identifies two areas that can elevate a classifier's work: understanding the six General Rules of Interpretationand consistently consulting the relevant section and chapter notes. Those notes aren't just supplementary reading. They can provide definitions, establish exclusions, and determine whether a product can even be classified in a particular chapter. Arthur illustrates this with materials such as plastic and rubber and explains how something as seemingly straightforward as changing the material of a gasket can affect its classification. Beyond individual classification decisions, Arthur emphasizes the importance of a documented tariff classification process. The process should reflect what the company actually does and be followed consistently. The episode closes with a caution about AI. Asking an AI system to justify a classification you've already selected can reinforce your assumptions rather than independently establish that the classification is correct. Arthur's point is not to ignore technology, but to maintain a defensible process and meaningful human review. Key Takeaways • Master the GRIs: The six General Rules of Interpretation provide the framework for navigating tariff classification. • Read the notes: Section and chapter notes can contain definitions, exclusions, and other details that materially affect classification. • Document your classification process: Arthur recommends creating a process that reflects what your organization actually does and following it consistently. • Watch for confirmation bias with AI: Don't simply give an AI tool the tariff number you want and ask it to build an argument supporting your conclusion. Use sound classification methodology and human review. Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Arthur O'Meara - LinkedIn Producer: Lalo Solorzano

What could your team achieve if a document that previously took two hours could be created in eight minutes? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Oskar Konstantyner, Chief Product Officer at Templafy, about the rapid adoption of AI agents across enterprise document workflows and what those productivity gains mean for knowledge workers. According to Templafy's proprietary usage data, AI agent adoption among its enterprise users grew from virtually zero in October 2025 to 53% by June 2026. Its analysis found that documents created without agents had a median completion time of two hours and an average of 5.6 hours across 16,000 sessions. With AI agents, the median fell to eight minutes and the average to 27 minutes across 14,000 sessions. The most common documents included pitch decks, company communications, sales materials, and product roadmaps. However, Oskar cautions against treating speed as the final measure of AI productivity. We discuss an accounting firm that could not respond to thousands of tenders because it lacked the capacity to create enough proposals. Faster document production could allow that business to participate in additional opportunities while applying its knowledge about what makes a winning submission. The benefit comes from increased commercial capacity and stronger results, rather than counting recovered hours alone. Oskar also explains what happens during those eight minutes. AI can locate relevant information, find approved content, recommend a presentation structure, apply previous lessons, and complete much of the production work. Humans remain responsible for original thinking, client judgment, factual accuracy, and final approval. In many cases, the agent may produce 60% to 90% of the document, but the beginning and end of the process remain human-led. The conversation also considers the growing volume of generic AI documents. A business already has approved slides, company descriptions, brand assets, legal statements, and sales messages. Regenerating all that material wastes tokens and risks inconsistency. Oskar argues that agents should determine when existing content should be reused, when rules should be applied, and when something genuinely new needs to be created. We also discuss why AI adoption improves when agents appear inside PowerPoint, Claude, OpenAI, and Copilot. Most employees are unlikely to abandon familiar workflows every time another AI application arrives. Is your company measuring AI success through minutes saved, or through the additional business those minutes make possible? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

You know what's broken. You're the bottleneck, you can't let go, you don't have systems. But knowing what's wrong and knowing how to fix it are two different things. This episode is the roadmap: the six-step plan to stop firefighting and start leading, and how to create a business that runs without you. Key Takeaways: - Get clear on what you actually want. Do you want to sell? Step back? Work 20 hours a week? The infrastructure you build depends on where you're going. - Build your strategic foundation. Document your vision, define real values, clarify your mission, set three-year goals, and break them into this year's priorities. Without this, you're building random systems that don't connect to anything. - Build the right team structure. Map the functions the business needs, define outcomes for each, build the org chart, compare it to what you have now, and make the hard decisions about hiring, moving people, or letting them go. - Extract what's in your head. Document your decision-making frameworks, processes, standards, and priorities so your team can operate without asking you every time. - Build the accountability cadence. Quarterly planning, weekly leadership meetings, one-on-ones, and monthly reviews. This makes accountability real, not hoped for. - Let go and coach. Let your team make decisions and solve problems without you in the middle. When they make mistakes, coach them through it instead of taking it back. This is the shift from founder to CEO. The solution: Bulletproof COO is an AI-powered operating system for your business, trained on 20 years of my methodology, that works alongside you and your team to extract what's in your head and turn it into infrastructure. It extracts your strategy, builds your systems, coaches your team in real time 24/7, builds your accountability cadence, and grows with you. It's a COO in your pocket for you and your entire team, trained on your business, your strategy, your standards. Mic Drop: "You don't need another course, consultant, or coach. You need a system that does the work with you and makes the whole thing actually happen instead of just talking about it." Ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the CEO? Go to bulletproofbusinessgrowth.com/coo and let's talk.

Pesukim for Perek 11 (ראשית הגז) - Document for Daf 135 by Simon Wolf

LinkedIn remains one of the most important social media platforms for industrial marketers trying to reach engineers and technical buyers. But succeeding on LinkedIn looks different than it did a few years ago. Company pages still matter, but individual thought leaders can often gain more traction and amplify your message. We discuss what strategies marketers should prioritize on LinkedIn today. What Should Industrial Marketers Prioritize on LinkedIn?Industrial marketers should build a LinkedIn strategy that combines company-page content with individual thought leadership.Company pages remain important for maintaining an active brand presence, sharing company news, promoting educational resources, and supporting campaigns. However, individual experts often have an advantage when it comes to reach and engagement because LinkedIn users want to hear directly from real people with real  expertise.An effective LinkedIn strategy should also involve executives, salespeople, subject matter experts, engineers, and other employees who can share credible perspectives with their own networks.Why Is Thought Leadership Important on LinkedIn?Thought leadership helps companies extend their reach beyond what their corporate LinkedIn page can achieve alone.Industrial companies may spend significant time developing useful content only to see a company-page post receive a few hundred impressions. Individual profiles can generate much stronger reach because audiences are more interested in hearing directly from knowledgeable people over brands. Engineers and other subject matter experts can bring a level of credibility and experience to a post that is difficult for a corporate account to replicate.Instead of asking only, “What should our company post this week?”, marketers should also ask:Which experts inside our company could be sharing content?Which executives already have an active LinkedIn presence?Which engineers or technical SMEs have perspectives our audience would value?Start with the people who are easiest to activate, then expand your program over time. Executives, founders, and salespeople are often the easiest place to begin because they may already be comfortable posting or building their personal networks.However, some of the most valuable voices can also be the hardest to activate: engineers and technical subject matter experts. Technical audiences want to hear from people who understand their problems firsthand. An engineer explaining how they approached a design challenge may be more compelling than the same information presented as a traditional brand post.A strong thought leadership program can therefore include a mix of:Founders and executivesSales leadersProduct leadersEngineersTechnical subject matter expertsWhat Should LinkedIn Thought Leaders Post About?Thought leadership content should connect to your broader marketing strategy while reflecting the expertise of the individual posting it.Start with your existing campaigns, product launches, company messaging, customer challenges, and educational content. Then adjust the angle based on the person sharing it. For example, several employees could support the same product launch without posting the same message.A founder might discuss why the company invested in solving a particular problem.A sales leader might discuss what customers are asking about.An engineer might explain the technical challenge the team was trying to solve or how a particular approach could be applied.This approach allows industrial marketers to get more mileage out of existing campaigns without simply copying corporate posts onto employees' profiles.Do Personal Posts Belong on LinkedIn?Yes. Personal content can help LinkedIn thought leaders increase reach, build familiarity, and make their professional content more effective. Photos from events, travel, team activities, career and personal milestones, and other personal experiences can give audiences a reason to stop scrolling. Those posts may also generate stronger engagement than traditional business content, which can increase the overall visibility of an individual's profile.Personal posts should still use good judgment. Highly controversial topics or posts far outside what someone is comfortable associating with their employer may create risk. But authenticity itself is not something industrial marketers should be afraid of.Are LinkedIn Thought Leadership Ads Worth Testing?Thought leadership ads can be an effective way to expand the reach of strong individual posts while being significantly less expensive than other LinkedIn Ad types.Instead of building an advertisement from a traditional branded graphic or video, LinkedIn thought leadership ads allow companies to promote posts from individual profiles. This works particularly well when the original content is already educational and credible.At TREW, we have experimented with promoting thought leadership posts from experts. In our experience discussed, these posts have produced strong engagement and relatively efficient results compared with some traditional LinkedIn ad formats.For industrial marketers already investing in LinkedIn advertising, thought leadership ads are worth testing when you have a particularly strong organic post.Do Company Pages Still Matter on LinkedIn?Yes. Industrial brands should still maintain an active LinkedIn company page. Some content formats are particularly useful for generating engagement, while others may be better at generating reach and impressions.Document posts, sometimes called PDF sliders or carousel-style posts, can be particularly effective for engagement because users click or swipe through multiple pages. Multi-image posts can have a similar advantage because users interact with the post as they browse the images.Higher interaction can signal to LinkedIn that users find the content useful.On the reach side, industrial marketers may see stronger results from:Team photosEvent photosPosts tagging relevant employees or partnersVideosContent employees are likely to share with their own networksA strong company-page content calendar should include a mixture of formats rather than optimizing every post around a single metric.How Can Industrial Marketers Improve LinkedIn Immediately?If your company has not developed an employee thought leadership program, start by identifying one person who is most likely to participate. Once you identify that person, audit their LinkedIn profile. Check:Profile photoBanner imageHeadlineFeatured sectionExperienceAreas of expertiseRelevant keywordsFrequently Asked Questions About LinkedIn for Industrial MarketersShould industrial companies still post on their LinkedIn company pages?Yes. Company pages remain important for maintaining an active brand presence and distributing company content. However, brands should combine company-page activity with individual thought leadership to expand their potential reach.Who makes the best LinkedIn thought leader at an industrial company?Executives and salespeople may be easiest to activate, but engineers and technical subject matter experts can be particularly valuable because they can speak directly to the technical challenges audiences care about.How often should a new LinkedIn thought leader post?For someone new to thought leadership, one post every other week can be a realistic starting point. As the person becomes more comfortable and the content process improves, marketers can work toward a more frequent cadence.Do LinkedIn hashtags still work?Hashtags may provide some value, but they should not be the centerpiece of a LinkedIn strategy. Event hashtags remain particularly useful for joining conversations around conferences and trade shows.What LinkedIn post formats work well for industrial companies?Document posts, multi-image posts, team and event photography, and videos can all play different roles. Document and multi-image posts can encourage engagement, while people-focused photos and videos may help expand reach.What is the easiest way to start a LinkedIn thought leadership program?Choose one willing employee, optimize their LinkedIn profile, identify topics connected to your existing marketing strategy, and begin with a manageable posting schedule.During the episode, we also previewed TREW Marketing's What's Working Now webinar on September 24, which will cover actions industrial marketers can take today, over the next few weeks, and as they begin planning for 2027.We also shared an update on the 2027 Industrial Marketing Summit, taking place February 23 through 25 in Austin, Texas, including new sessions shaped by attendee feedback and covering topics ranging from marketing leadership and reporting to e-commerce and sales training.ResourcesConnect with Kasey on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInRegister for the What's Working Now WebinarRegister for the Industrial Marketing SummitD

What if the next author scam isn't someone trying to steal your money—but someone pretending to be you?Author scams are getting far more sophisticated. We're no longer just seeing the obvious “Hollywood wants your book” emails or fake marketing offers. Scammers are creating convincing author profiles, copying real content, borrowing established reputations, and reaching out to readers and other writers using identities that aren't theirs.And you absolutely do not need to be a bestselling author to become a target.In this episode, we dig into the disturbing rise of author impersonation and reputation theft, including how scammers identify authors who appear credible, active, or successful enough to exploit. Sometimes all it takes is a new book, an award, a media mention, a growing social account, or another visible win for your name to land on someone's radar.We'll show you how these scams often unfold: flattering outreach, suspicious collaboration invitations, fake book clubs, anthology opportunities, promises of exposure, questionable Amazon “optimization” offers, and messages claiming that another trusted author or industry professional personally recommended them.That last one is especially dangerous. Scammers know that borrowing someone else's credibility can get authors to lower their guard.But this episode isn't just about spotting scams. We're talking about how to make your author identity significantly harder to steal in the first place.You'll learn why authors should secure their primary domain—and reasonable variations of it—claim important social media handles even if they aren't actively using every platform, maintain consistent branding across the web, and use an email address connected to their own domain instead of relying entirely on Gmail or another generic provider.We also explain why your author website is becoming an increasingly important verification tool. Someone who receives a message supposedly from you should be able to quickly find your official website, confirm your real contact information, and determine whether the person reaching out is actually you.And if you discover an impersonator? Don't simply delete the message or account and move on. Screenshot it. Save the URLs. Document what happened. Report the profile. Preserve the evidence before it disappears.Your author name is more than a byline. It's your reputation, your credibility, and the trust you've built with readers—and as your visibility grows, protecting that identity needs to become part of your book marketing strategy.Listen now, then send this episode to another author who needs to know this is happening.And if you have a scam, suspicious pitch, or author-marketing question you'd like us to tackle on the show, text PODCAST to 888-402-8940.

Send Jackie A Message!Most studio owners do not have a time problem. They have a dependency problem, and those two things have completely different solutions.In this episode, Jackie Murphy walks through what she did to her business before her third maternity leave. She pulled herself out early, on purpose, so she could watch what broke while she was still there to fix it. You do not plan for your absence. You rehearse it.She breaks down the five places she had to work: team (why she stopped hiring people who execute and started hiring people who build the system), decisions (handing off the call, not just the task), client delivery (building a bench instead of being the product), marketing (what keeps running when you stop), and money (funding a paid three month leave instead of chasing a bigger revenue number).If you have ever answered a sub text from a pool chair on vacation, this one is for you. Your version of this deadline just has not landed on the calendar yet.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] Why Jackie left her business before her leave started[02:00] What happens to the podcast during maternity leave[04:02] Why this matters even if you are not having a baby[06:08] Time problem or dependency problem: how to tell[07:43] Doing the job vs. building the system[11:00] Doubling the team and hiring builders instead of doers[14:20] Handing off decisions, not just tasks: the decision ladder[16:16] Client delivery: build a bench instead of being the product[19:52] Why marketing came fourth on the list[21:56] The money: funding a paid three month leave[25:02] The leadership work underneath all of itKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ You do not plan for your absence. You rehearse it while you are still there to fix what breaks. ✓ Efficiency fixes a time problem. Only a different business fixes a dependency problem. ✓ Someone who executes gives you labor. Someone who documents while they execute gives you an asset. ✓ Handing off the task is not the same as handing off the decision. Write the decision ladder. ✓ If your marketing stops when you stop, you do not have a marketing system. You have a task you perform. ✓ A paid leave is a different goal than a bigger revenue year, and it takes a different plan.PULL QUOTES"I wanted to know what would break while I was still here to fix it.""You do not have a time problem. You have a dependency problem.""One of those is labor. The other one is an asset.""Do not just document the task. Document the decisions.""The standard was not keep things running.

Independent practices hold that data with the least defense in the entire healthcare system: one IT contractor, a server in a closet, and no one whose job it is to think about security. Attackers know it. Why independent practices are the target Three attack vectors specific to practice settings:  Phishing emails that look like they are from an EMR vendor, billing company, or payer. Remote access set up for telehealth or post-COVID flexibility that was never properly secured. Third-party vendor access, where a billing company or IT contractor gets breached and the practice is compromised through them. What to do in the first 24 hours if you are hit 1.  Isolate immediately. Disconnect affected systems from the network, but do not power them down, powered systems preserve evidence forensic teams need. 2.  Call your cyber insurance carrier first, then your attorney. Do not call the attackers, and do not pay anything without guidance. 3.  Document everything from the moment you discover the breach. This becomes the foundation of your HIPAA breach report if one is required, and the 60-day notification clock starts at discovery. 4.  Do not restore from backup until forensics has cleared the system. Restoring too early can reintroduce the attack. Three asks for your team this week Ask your IT contractor: do we have multi-factor authentication enabled on our EMR, our email, and our remote access tools? If not, when can you turn it on? Ask your IT contractor: when was the last time we tested a restore from our backup?

Fall Rental Property Maintenance Checklist: What Landlords Should Do Before Winter Winter problems are expensive. A furnace that fails during the first cold snap. A frozen exterior water line. Clogged gutters sending spring melt toward the foundation. Too much humidity creating condensation, ice and eventually mold. These are predictable problems, which means landlords should be dealing with them before they become emergencies. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby walk through their fall rental-property maintenance checklist and explain the systems they use to prepare their portfolio for winter. The goal is simple: Be proactive instead of reactive. A relatively inexpensive preventative repair in September can save you from a much larger emergency repair in January. Why Every Landlord Needs a Seasonal Maintenance System When you own your own home, seasonal maintenance can happen naturally. You notice something in the yard. You walk past the furnace. You see leaves accumulating in the gutters. With multiple rental properties, that does not happen automatically. The more properties you own, the more important systems and checklists become. Wayne and Gabby recommend creating a repeatable fall inspection checklist, saving it permanently and putting a recurring reminder into your calendar every year. You should not have to remember everything. The system should remind you. Start With the Furnace One of the most important fall checks is the furnace. Do not wait for the first -30°C night to discover that the furnace does not work. During the fall inspection: Turn the furnace on Confirm it fires properly Change the furnace filter Consider servicing it if it has not been checked recently Make sure airflow is not being restricted Deal with known issues before winter The worst time to discover a furnace problem is late at night during the first major cold snap when every HVAC company in the city is already dealing with emergency calls. Preventative maintenance gives you options. Emergency maintenance usually gives you a bill. Check the Humidifier Gabby considers humidity control one of the most important seasonal checks. If the property has a furnace-mounted humidifier or HRV system, the settings may need to change as outdoor temperatures drop. Too much indoor humidity during very cold weather can cause condensation and ice around: Windows Window frames Exterior walls Corners Areas behind furniture Other cold surfaces That ice eventually melts. Then you have water entering drywall, flooring and framing. And moisture problems can quickly become mold problems. Make sure the humidifier is set appropriately for the season and outdoor temperature. Winterize Exterior Hose Bibs Exterior water lines are another major concern. Before freezing temperatures arrive: Disconnect exterior hoses Locate the interior shutoff Shut the water supply off Open the exterior hose bib Drain the remaining water from the line Close everything properly for winter Water expands when it freezes. If water remains trapped in the pipe, the line or hose bib can burst. You may not even discover the damage until spring when somebody turns the water back on. Wayne and Gabby have purchased properties where exterior hose bibs did not survive the previous winter. A simple preventative step can save hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars. Clean Gutters and Check Downspouts Make sure gutters are clear and downspouts direct water away from the house. In Alberta, snow may accumulate for months before melting rapidly in spring. When that happens, you want the water moving away from the foundation. Clogged gutters or poorly positioned downspouts can contribute to: Foundation moisture Basement leaks Water intrusion Landscaping damage Properties surrounded by mature trees may require gutter cleaning every spring and fall. Wait until most of the leaves have fallen before completing the final fall cleaning. Check the Roof While inspecting the exterior, look at the roof. Check for: Missing shingles Damaged shingles Storm damage Fascia issues Soffit damage Areas where water could penetrate A small roof problem in September is much easier to repair than a roof problem buried beneath months of snow. Don't Ignore the Attic Attic issues can create serious winter problems. Look for: Inadequate insulation Poor ventilation Disconnected vents Bathroom fans exhausting incorrectly Signs of moisture Previous water staining Heat escaping into the attic can create condensation and ice. When that ice melts, the water can end up inside the ceiling, insulation or walls. That can lead to stains, leaks and mold. Wayne and Gabby emphasize another lesson here: If your home inspector identifies an attic issue when you buy the property, do not simply file the inspection report away and forget about it. Fix the important items. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Every seasonal inspection should include life-safety equipment. Test every smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. Check: Operation Batteries where applicable Expiry dates Proper placement These devices are not decorative. They exist to protect the people living in your property. Check Windows and Doors Look closely at exterior windows and doors. Check: Caulking Sealant Weather stripping Visible gaps Signs of water intrusion Areas where daylight is visible around doors If you can see daylight around a door, cold air can get through too. Wayne and Gabby have become increasingly focused on exterior sealing after dealing with water-intrusion issues in their portfolio. Water will find surprisingly small openings. Seal them before weather makes the problem worse. Check the Rest of the Property While You're There If you are already inspecting the property, use the opportunity to perform a broader maintenance review. Consider checking: Hot water tank Appliance filters Plumbing Exterior drainage Interior moisture Property condition Previously identified maintenance items Treat the rental property the way you would treat your own home. The goal is to leave knowing the property is prepared to operate safely through winter. Document Everything Do not simply walk through and rely on memory. Take photos. Record what was inspected. Document repairs required. Keep the inspection record. Then compare it against the next seasonal inspection. If something does not need immediate attention but should be reviewed again in spring, document it and schedule the follow-up. Proactive Beats Reactive Wayne summarizes the philosophy behind the entire episode: Good property management is not about fixing things when they break. It is about identifying predictable problems before they become emergencies. A $150 preventative repair in September can easily prevent a $2,000 emergency repair in January. The exact number is not the point. The principle is. Preventative maintenance is almost always easier and cheaper than emergency maintenance. Build the System Once For investors with multiple properties, the solution is not becoming better at remembering everything. Build a system. Create a fall checklist. Create a spring checklist. Put recurring reminders into your calendar. Delegate inspections where appropriate. Document the results. Schedule repairs automatically. The simpler the system is, the more likely it will actually be followed. That frees up your mental bandwidth for higher-value activities: Finding deals. Building relationships. Raising capital. Growing your portfolio. And spending time on the things outside real estate that actually matter to you.

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into a concept that one of Hunter's all-time favorite Mastermind students put into practice and completely ran with: creating a signature methodology. Using the real example of Brandy Chavez, an Arizona based stylist who built her entire brand around a hard water detox method she developed herself, Hunter and Jodie break down why this strategy is one of the most powerful things a niched down stylist can do to set themselves apart and build the kind of loyalty that markets itself.This is not a conversation about copying what someone else has done. It is about recognizing what you are already doing uniquely, documenting it, and turning it into something your clients can identify with, talk about, and come back for.Key Takeaways:

If your Dentrix Unscheduled List or Continuing Care List is so cluttered that your team has stopped using it, patients may already be falling through the cracks. In this episode of the High Performing Dental Team Podcast, Dayna Johnson shares what she has been seeing repeatedly during Dentrix practice assessments: messy scheduling lists, outdated appointments, unnecessary customized lists, and inaccurate Continuing Care data. She walks through practical ways to clean up your Dentrix Unscheduled List and Continuing Care List so your team can fill openings, improve patient retention, and create more reliable scheduling workflows. Your Dentrix practice management software should be your team's central source of accurate, current patient information. When the data is clean, these lists become powerful tools for keeping your schedule full and preventing patients from getting lost in the system. ✅ Key Takeaways Understand exactly what belongs on the Dentrix Unscheduled List, including broken, no-show, canceled, and Wait/Will Call appointments. Document the reason for a broken appointment in the Office Journal so the next team member has the full story. Avoid letting appointments sit on the Unscheduled List indefinitely. Dayna recommends approximately three months for most appointments, with reasonable exceptions. Clean up old customized scheduling lists created by former team members or providers. Simplify your workflow by using the main Unscheduled List and filtering by provider instead of maintaining numerous separate lists. Create useful Continuing Care Lists for overdue hygiene patients, rather than relying on Dentrix default lists for patients who are not yet overdue. Focus your Continuing Care workflow on prophy and periodontal maintenance patients who need to be reactivated. Remove broken or canceled appointments from the Appointment Book so Dentrix and your automated patient communication system don't mistakenly think the patient is still scheduled. Watch for patients incorrectly assigned to both prophy and periodontal maintenance Continuing Care types. Learn what the plus sign in the Continuing Care appointment column can tell you about a patient's existing appointment. Keep your Dentrix data clean so third-party patient engagement and reporting tools are also working from accurate information.

A newly released Bureau of Prisons document sheds more light on Ghislaine Maxwell's controversial transfer to a minimum-security federal prison, but it stops short of answering the biggest question surrounding the move: why it happened. Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold obtained Maxwell's prison transfer form after a yearlong Freedom of Information Act battle with the Bureau of Prisons. The form confirms that prison officials documented and approved the transfer, but the agency redacted the portion explaining the rationale for moving Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse and traffic underage girls. That omission leaves the central justification hidden from the public even as the transfer itself continues to generate scrutiny because of Maxwell's high-profile conviction and the unusual attention surrounding her incarceration.The release therefore provides documentation without providing transparency where it matters most. Maxwell's move to a lower-security facility has already fueled questions about whether she received preferential treatment, whether her cooperation with federal authorities played any role, and what internal factors the Bureau of Prisons considered before approving the transfer. The newly obtained form does not establish that any improper deal or special arrangement occurred, but the decision to conceal the government's stated reasoning guarantees that those questions will continue. Instead of resolving the controversy, the document underscores the same problem that has repeatedly surrounded the Epstein and Maxwell cases: records eventually emerge, but crucial portions remain withheld, leaving the public with proof that a consequential decision was made while the explanation for that decision remains behind black ink.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell's Prison Transfer Form Released - Bloomberg

Recorded live at STLV, filmmaker and author Jeffrey Morris returns to The Trek Files with a 1989 research report on the landmark Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Who Watches the Watchers." The production notes scrutinize everything from radiation exposure and memory modification to the logic of sending Riker and Troi undercover, and even question whether Picard telling a Mintakan to "shoot me" feels a little too much like a Kirk move. Morris calls "Who Watches the Watchers" not his favorite or even the best episode of Star Trek, but the most important: a story about a society struggling out of superstition and fear, and Picard's determination not to push it backward. Drawing from his book "A Future Askew," Morris and Larry Nemecek consider whether our own civilization is approaching a similar crossroads, retreating from science, diplomacy and accumulated knowledge at precisely the moment we need them most.  From the Prime Directive to fandom activism to the responsibilities of ordinary people, the discussion comes back to a simple idea: Star Trek was never really promising us better gadgets. It was imagining what might happen if humanity finally chose to grow up.

AI is changing franchising fast—but most people are still barely scratching the surface of what it can actually do.   In this episode of Franchise Secrets, Erik Van Horn breaks down how he's using AI across his franchise businesses right now—from analyzing opportunities and improving lead follow-up to auditing marketing, documenting processes, and building AI agents that function more like employees.   Erik also explains one of the biggest mistakes he sees people making with AI: trusting its answers without knowing how to challenge them. Whether you're researching a franchise, operating locations, or building a brand, AI is only as useful as the context and direction you give it.   You'll learn how Erik is using AI to:   • Turn conversations and meeting transcripts into SOPs • Build and organize operational playbooks automatically • Audit lead follow-up and identify missed opportunities • Evaluate social media performance against competitors • Research franchise opportunities more intelligently • Build AI agents that handle real business tasks • Document the journey of scaling a franchise brand • Use AI as a tool for learning—not a replacement for thinking   AI isn't just another piece of software. Used correctly, it can become part of the team.   Subscribe to Franchise Secrets for more real-world strategies on buying, building, operating, and scaling franchise businesses.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Social Media Audit Cold Open 00:40 – How I'm Actually Using AI Right Now 02:29 – AI and the Future of Franchise Development 03:52 – Why Most People Are Using AI Wrong 04:14 – The Problem With AI Franchise Research 08:27 – Using AI Agents as Employees 09:47 – Turning Conversations Into SOPs 13:36 – Documenting a Franchise From 0 to 100 Locations 14:38 – How to Start Documenting Your Business With AI 17:16 – Using AI to Find Leaks in Lead Follow-Up 21:04 – Auditing Your Social Media With AI 24:50 – Why You Should Push Back on AI 26:40 – How I Used AI This Week 27:33 – The Leadership Lesson I Taught My Daughters 31:28 – Final Thoughts   Connect with Erik Van Horn:

You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem. You've been giving yourself permission to feel exhausted, but not permission to find out why. George has taken vacations that didn't fix it. Hired people to take things off his plate and still felt it. And told himself for years that rest would reset him. It didn't. Because rest doesn't fix misalignment. It just gives you a quieter room to spiral in. This is the implementation guide for the two Lacey Newman episodes, distilled into a three-part system you can run this week. Burnout as information. The three lies keeping you from systematizing. And the fear cost audit that Lacey shared that requires nothing but a pen, a piece of paper, and more honesty than most of us are used to. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The one diagnostic question that separates burnout from tired Why burning it all down is almost never the actual prescription The one contained shift that changes everything, without demolishing your business The three lies keeping you from documenting and delegating Why you're not too complex to replace, you're too undocumented to replace Lacey Newman's fear cost audit: pen, paper, and naming what it would actually cost you Why 80% of the change is just acknowledging the fear is there Why "ready" is a lie and what you do instead Key Takeaways: ✔️Burnout is information. Not a death sentence. Not a reason to blow everything up. A signal pointing at misalignment. Get curious with it. ✔️The test: if you go on vacation and come back dreading the return before you even leave, that's not tired. That's a symptom that needs a shift, not a rest. ✔️Make one contained, reversible shift. Not a rebuild. One client stopped working Fridays. Another stopped taking buyers. Both went from wanting to quit to loving their business again. ✔️The three lies: it's too complex to explain; I create a custom experience for every client; what I do is magic and no one else can do it. All three feel true. All three are dangerous. ✔️You're not too complex to replace. You're too undocumented to replace. Those are two very different problems. ✔️Document the process first. Voice memo, screen recording, having someone observe you. Then AI or a human runs it without you in the room. That's how you find out where the magic actually lives. ✔️The fear cost audit: write the goal, then write what getting it would actually cost you. Name every fear. Lacey said 80% of the change is just acknowledgment, the naming does most of the work. ✔️Ready is a lie. You don't work through fear by sitting with it. You work through it by moving through it. Take the hit. Notice you're still standing. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem.

The gym owner horror stories continue.In Part II, Scott Carpenter and Andy Boy Miller get into another side of business ownership that can be just as painful as bad leases, permits, and construction problems:The people side of the business.Scott shares the story of a longtime personal training client who injured herself after doing something her trainer specifically told her not to do—only for an attorney's letter to show up shortly afterward.Even with liability waivers, insurance, certifications, and documentation, Scott and Andy explain why there is no contract that can completely eliminate your risk as a business owner.Then Andy shares one of the most difficult lessons from the early years of his gym.When he first opened, he gave several close friends discounted "lifetime" memberships. Years later, when the business could no longer afford those rates, he asked them to move toward the gym's standard pricing.He expected his closest friends to understand.Instead, every conversation went badly.Some of these were people Andy had vacationed with, invited to his wedding, and considered close friends—and the situation ultimately cost him both memberships and friendships.The conversation becomes a bigger lesson about separating personal relationships from business decisions, understanding that clients will usually make choices based on what's best for them, and developing the emotional resilience required to stay in business long term.Scott and Andy also discuss how stoicism helped them through some of their most difficult seasons as entrepreneurs, including Scott's recommendation of Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way.Because in business, things will eventually go sideways.The goal isn't to avoid every problem.It's to build the perspective, systems, and resilience to handle them when they happen.In This Episode:00:14 – Recapping Gym Owner Horror Stories Part I00:35 – Why liability gets more complicated as your business grows01:09 – Why waivers and contracts can't completely protect you01:24 – How lawsuits can become a financial war of attrition02:15 – The insurance loopholes gym owners need to understand03:41 – Scott's story about a longtime personal training client05:10 – The gym injury that happened after a client ignored instructions06:26 – Why every gym should have an incident report process07:02 – When the client's tone suddenly changed08:36 – The attorney letter that showed up a week later09:00 – How documentation and text messages helped protect the business10:43 – Why problems can come from the people you least expect11:20 – Andy's biggest early pricing mistake12:07 – Asking his founding members to move to normal rates12:55 – Why every single conversation went badly14:22 – Losing customers AND close friendships16:37 – Developing a thicker skin as a business owner17:34 – The reality of putting your clients' needs ahead of your own18:58 – Bad reviews, chargebacks, and long-term clients turning against you20:36 – Why you can't take every business setback personally21:15 – How stoicism helped Scott and Andy through hard times21:36 – Scott's recommendation: The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday23:39 – Preparing yourself for the inevitable problems of business ownershipThe Biggest TakeawayProtect the business, but don't let the business destroy you emotionally.Have your waivers.Keep your certifications current.Document incidents.Save important communications.Be careful with special pricing and promises that could become unsustainable later.But also understand that even when you do everything right, people may still leave, complain, threaten legal action, dispute charges, or turn against you.That doesn't mean you stop caring about your clients.It means learning to make decisions based on what's sustainable for the business instead of making every decision out of fear of disappointing someone.As Andy explains in the episode, business owners in service industries naturally care deeply about their clients—but your clients aren't necessarily thinking about what their decisions will do to your business or your family.And when the hard seasons come, perspective matters.Don't take everything personally. Learn from it, adapt, and keep moving forward.

Copying a successful product can look like smart business. The market already exists, customers understand the category, and a competitor has done much of the work of proving demand. But when a patented product is involved, “we changed a few things” can become an expensive sentence.In this episode, we break down what patent infringement actually means for startup founders, product teams, and small business owners. The biggest misconception is that infringement requires an exact copy. It does not. But simply making something similar does not automatically mean infringement either.The key issue is the patent claims.Patent claims define the legal boundaries of the patented invention. A competing product may look almost identical but avoid infringement if it does not satisfy an important claim limitation. On the other hand, a product that looks different can still create risk if its internal structure, process, or method falls within the claims.We also explain why independent development is not automatically a defense to direct patent infringement. A company can invent a product on its own and still end up practicing an enforceable patent claim. Intent matters in some areas of patent law, but direct infringement is not simply a copying contest.Another topic is the danger of relying on cosmetic changes. New colors, different dimensions, button placement, or fresh packaging may help marketing, but they do not necessarily create a legal design-around. A meaningful design-around usually requires understanding the claims and changing the product so a relevant claim limitation is no longer present.Then there is the doctrine of equivalents. This doctrine can sometimes create infringement risk even when the accused product does not literally match every word of the claim. That does not mean “same result equals infringement.” The analysis remains tied to individual claim elements.We also discuss what happens when a patent owner believes infringement is occurring. The first step may be a demand letter or cease-and-desist notice. That letter is an allegation, not a final judgment. A business receiving one should evaluate the asserted patent, the relevant claims, the accused product, possible noninfringement arguments, validity issues, redesign opportunities, licensing options, and overall business exposure.The financial consequences can be significant. Patent owners may seek monetary damages and, in appropriate cases, injunctive relief. Courts can also increase damages for especially egregious conduct, and attorney fees may be awarded in exceptional cases. The business cost can also include redesigns, delayed launches, stranded inventory, disrupted customer relationships, and distracted leadership.One of the most useful lessons for founders is that getting your own patent does not automatically mean you are free to sell your product. Patentability and freedom to operate are different questions. You may own a patent on an improvement while another company owns a broader earlier patent that still covers part of what you are doing.That is why patent strategy should happen before launch, not after. Review relevant patents while the product can still be changed. Compare important claims to the proposed design. Explore legitimate design-arounds. Document key engineering decisions. And bring qualified patent counsel into high-value product decisions before tooling, inventory, marketing, and distribution make changes painfully expensive.The goal is not to make founders afraid of patents. It is to make them better prepared.If you are building a product in a competitive market, this episode will help you understand where patent risk really comes from, which common assumptions can get businesses into trouble, and how early IP planning can turn a potential legal problem into a smarter product strategy.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

It's no secret, we at Constituting America are big fans of the Declaration of Independence.  What Thomas Jefferson so eloquently wrote quite literally changed the world.  But have you stopped to think exactly how it changed the world?  How did it influence other countries who were perhaps seeking independence?  Did you know in the time since our Declaration of Independence was written, over 100 countries have adopted similar declarations, inspired by our Declaration?  To discuss this global impact beyond just words on paper as well as their fantastic landmark exhibit celebrating America 250, we are honored to welcome Matthew Skic from the Museum of the American Revolution as our special guest this week.

Welcome back to Fraudology.Since I've been back from SardineCon, I've thought about how much faster and cheaper AI is making fraud. That thread runs through basically everything I'm covering today. I'm digging into a new report from Inscribe showing a 4X increase in AI generated documents. I'll walk through the difference between a document that's built entirely by AI and one that's a real document with AI alterations. Because they are not the same problem.Then we will go deep on a digital arrest scam, and this is the one I really want you to sit with. Frank McKenna has been predicting digital arrests would hit the US for almost a year. I found a first person account from a woman who got a call claiming to be from her local sheriff's department. What happened to her over the next several hours is genuinely hard to listen to. I think this is one every fraud fighter needs to be able to explain to the people in their own life who aren't in this industry.Along the way, I'm covering a case out of Spain where a man was arrested for using deepfakes to get past identify verification checks, a new report on Grok deepfakes, and a study out of UMass on zombie credit cards. Which is a real NFC fraud loophole. It's a lot but stick with me.What you'll hear:A quick recap of SardineCon 2026 and why AI was the theme of nearly every conversation I had thereInscribe's new fraud report showing a 4X increase in AI generated documents, and why bank statement fraud, fake invoices, and fake pay stubs make up more than half of what they're catchingThe difference between AI generated documents and AI altered ones, and why the altered ones are actually harder to catchHow synthetic identity fraud and first party fraud both show up in lending fraud, even when the person applying is realA case out of Spain where deepfakes almost got a man through identity verification, until a one second glitch gave him awayA new report on Grok deepfakes and what it means that one platform is tied to the majority of tracked incidentsA UMass study on zombie credit cards and the NFC fraud loophole that can bring expired cards back to lifeThe full, first person story of a digital arrest scam, including the jury duty scam call, someone impersonating law enforcement, a bond scam demand, and a PayPal fraud payment that couldn't be undoneYou should listen to this episode if you:Want to understand what a digital arrest scam actually sounds like from the insideAre in lending, underwriting, or KYC and need to know how bank statement fraud and fake pay stubs are evolvingWant to know the real difference between synthetic identity fraud and first party fraudHave family members who don't work in fraud and need a real example to help them recognize a jury duty scam or someone impersonating law enforcementAre tracking deepfakes and want to know where Grok deepfakes fit into the bigger pictureProcess card not present or in person transactions and haven't heard about the zombie credit card loophole yet

Host: Lalo Solorzano & Andy Shiles Guest(s): Kathleen August Published: August 27, 2026 Length: ~30 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary How ready would your company be if U.S. Customs and Border Protection came knocking tomorrow? In this episode of Simply Trade, hosts Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles sit down with former CBP auditor Kathleen August to discuss why being “audit ready” is no longer enough. With more than 33 years of experience on the CBP side of the desk, Kathleen offers an insider's perspective on today's enforcement environment and explains why importers need to become truly “Customs Ready.” The conversation covers the growing importance of CF28 responses, ACE data, internal controls, record retention, post-entry reviews, supply-chain visibility, and cross-functional communication. Kathleen also explains why having a trade compliance manual sitting on a shelf doesn't equal an effective compliance program. Companies need procedures tailored to their operations—and executable tools that employees actually use. From unexpected changes in entered value to country-of-origin questions, forced labor concerns, USMCA documentation, and shifting sourcing strategies, CBP has more data and analytical capability than ever before. The message for importers is clear: know your data, know your supply chain, document your processes, and be prepared to respond before Customs asks the question. Main Topic / Discussion Being audit ready is important—but Kathleen argues that today's importers need to go further and become Customs Ready. With CBP operating in an enforcement-focused environment, companies may encounter CF28s, questions about their supply chains, entry reviews, or other inquiries even if they are never selected for a full audit. Kathleen explains that a strong compliance foundation starts with documented internal controls tailored specifically to the company. But documentation alone isn't enough. Companies need “executable documents”—checklists, logs, databases, classification records, broker procedures, and other tools that turn a compliance manual into everyday action. The discussion also highlights the importance of reviewing ACE data from CBP's perspective. Changes in entered value, country of origin, classification, sourcing, or other entry information can create patterns that draw attention. As Kathleen puts it, Customs is like a highly capable chess opponent—and they may already be “two steps ahead.” Importers also need visibility beyond the trade compliance department. Sales, purchasing, engineering, finance, sourcing, and leadership can all make decisions that affect customs compliance. Tooling assists, supplier changes, certificates of origin, USMCA qualification, and sourcing shifts are just a few examples. Ultimately, becoming Customs Ready means building a system that allows the organization to identify problems, maintain records, respond to questions, and pivot quickly as tariffs and enforcement priorities change. Key Takeaways • Be Customs Ready, not just audit ready. A full CBP audit is only one potential compliance event. Importers also need to be prepared for CF28s, investigations, and questions about individual entries or their broader supply chain. • Document internal controls—and actually use them. Compliance procedures should be customized to the company rather than copied from a generic manual. Pair written procedures with executable tools such as checklists, CF28 logs, databases, classification records, and broker instructions. • Know what your ACE data says about you. CBP can identify changes and patterns across entries. Importers should review their own data for unusual shifts in value, classification, country of origin, sourcing, and other areas before those patterns generate questions. • Understand your entire supply chain. Know who you are buying from, where products and components originate, where transformation or assembly occurs, and when suppliers or production locations change. • Conduct post-entry reviews. Don't assume the broker entered everything correctly. Monitoring entries can help identify errors early and, in some cases, allow companies to correct problems in real time. • Make compliance cross-functional. Sales, purchasing, engineering, finance, sourcing, and trade compliance all affect customs outcomes. Compliance cannot operate effectively in a silo. • Maintain accessible records. A record retention policy is only useful if the organization can quickly retrieve the documentation needed to respond to CBP. • Be ready to pivot. Tariffs and trade requirements can change quickly. Companies need processes, expertise, and resources that allow them to adapt without sacrificing compliance.

Today it is a true honor to welcome Feisal G. Mohamed to Speaking Out of Place to discuss his new poem, Nowhere is safe in Gaza.  This book is “an erasure poem using as source text South Africa's Application Instituting Proceedings against Israel for Violations of the Genocide Convention,” presented to the International Court of Justice in December 2023.  We talk about both the distance and also the bridge between the legal filing and this poetic creation, which re-distributes the language of the filing in different spatial manners, both allowing, and forcing the reader to confront the genocide from multiple viewpoints and with different emphases.We speak of the programmatic and historically deep instantiations of Israel's genocide, and bring forth the voices Israel has attempted to silence forever. In particular, we recall the words left behind by martyred physician Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, “We did what we could. When the guns fall silent and the true scale of devastation is revealed will the [UN] Council and its members be able to say the same?”  We take that as a call to all of us, and talk about how “Nowhere is safe in Gaza” compels us to expand our imaginative and political capacities.Feisal G. Mohamed is professor of English at Yale University. His most recent books are Nowhere is safe in Gaza (Brick, 2026) and Resistance: Claiming the Arts of Freedom (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming).See the blog attached to this episode for example pages from poem.

Your hardscape business will only grow as fast as your worst contract clause, your weakest hire, or the client you should have turned down. Caleb tackles these operational landmines head-on, answering a series of rapid-fire Instagram DM questions sent in by listener Jesse Zimmerman. The result is a practical blueprint for building the strict operational, financial, and legal guardrails required to run a highly profitable, protected seven-figure contracting company. Key Takeaways: Hire team members who possess a growth mindset and a willingness to learn, rather than those who believe they already know everything. Protect your business cash flow by heavily frontloading payment schedules so you are never left chasing a massive final check over minor details. Document every job site thoroughly with daily photos from day one to eliminate "he-said, she-said" liability disputes with clients or crews. Practice polite and immediate rejection of wrong-fit clients because providing fast clarity is far kinder than making them wait for an estimate you do not want to write. Apply the "ghost project" rule to your marketing by never posting or sharing work that you do not want to repeat in the future. Connect with Auman Landscape
