Bradley defines the key terms "Rainmaker" and "Architect" after realizing he'd been using this language without clearly explaining what these roles mean. This solo episode wraps up his longest podcast series on the Rainmaker to Architect journey.THE RAINMAKER:Everything runs through you - you're the bottleneck.Usually the top performer but also the biggest limitation.All decisions need your approval.Constantly firefighting (but you're better at starting fires than putting them out).Essential to daily operations - business fails without you.Involved in every aspect: sales, operations, customer service, marketing.Can hit $500K-$750K, maybe $1M, then you hit a wall.The Octopus Analogy (from Marquez Brownlee):"I was like a genius octopus with a thousand hands" - you need to systematically cut off arms one at a time:Customer serviceFulfillmentLead handlingMarketing functionsAdministrative tasksPayrollTHE ARCHITECT:Uses blueprints and systematic design thinkingAsks "How can I be effective?" not "How can I do more?"Works above the business, not in daily operationsProactive rather than reactiveDesigns systems then designs themselves out of themFreedom and flexibility focusedHas operating systems and blueprints in placeKEY COMPARISONS:Rainmaker = Reactive, Essential, Bottleneck, Wings everything.Architect = Proactive, System designer, Blueprint creator, Freedom-focused.ACTION STEPS:Acknowledge if you're the bottleneck.Start systematically removing yourself from operations.Document systems even when it feels like you should be doing other things.Shift from "How can I do more?" to "How can I design this?"Build blueprints, not just hustle harder.RESOURCES:blueprintos.com/blueprint - Free tools and program infoThis concludes Bradley's longest podcast series.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training How does a print designer become the founder of a thriving strategic web agency? Spoiler: It wasn't all smooth sailing. But this agency founder figured out how to stop being the bottleneck, leverage systems and AI, and make his agency way more profitable along the way. It all began by creating a digital brain for his agency. In this episode, Shawn Johnston, owner of Forge and Smith, a Vancouver-based agency shares how he's been building bespoke WordPress sites for 13+ years. He'll share his story—and some seriously smart tips for agency owners looking to scale and create more freedom in their agency. In this episode, you'll learn: Why documenting your processes is key to scaling How to use AI to build a “digital brain” for your agency How to step out of day-to-day work and empower your team Tips for focusing your team on high-value, strategic work Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world. Check out e2msolutions.com/smartagency and get 10% off for the first three months of service. From Print Design to Web Agency Owner Like a lot of us, Shawn didn't set out to build an agency. He started as a print designer back in 1996, cranking out newspaper ads when CSS came on the scene, sparking heated debate at the office over whether it would change the internet or not. Shawn got curious, taught himself to code, and started building sites on the side. What started as a hobby turned into freelancing… and when the 2008 housing collapse hit, he went all in. He hustled hard on Craigslist, building $1,500 WordPress sites and quickly realizing he was making more than his day job. This gave way to his first lesson in business: Hustle works early on, but you can't scale without systems. When He Knew It Was a “Real” Agency Starting out, Shawn was able to handle all the WordPress development, design, and strategy by himself. By setting up some repeatable pieces, he was able to grow his client list, with some of them coming back for site support. As projects stacked up, however, he hit a wall: He couldn't sell, deliver, and support all at once. He decided his first hire would handle client support, so he could free up time for higher-value work. From there, he slowly backed himself out of development… then strategy… then design - replacing himself piece by piece. Of course, this didn't automatically erase all the agency's problems. Initially, it only created a new set challenges. Adding new pieces to the team made their lack of documented processes very clear. For a while, the handoff confusion created meant everything continued to run through Shawn... The real issue was that there was too much knowledge trapped in his head. Why Documented Processes Are the Key to Scaling The obvious solution was to start documenting everything from UX components to strategy guides to build quality standards. From that point on, everyone knew who was responsible for what and at what point. The goal wasn't to limit creativity but to empower the team to make smart decisions without running to Shawn for answers. For Shawn, a focal point of this shift had to be underlying the agency's why. Everyone on the team had to be very clear on: Why do we work with clients the way we do? Why are we doing things this way and not that way? Making sure everyone understood the overall goals would inform the decision-making, cultural aspects, and would help the team work cohesively. Documented systems = freedom for you and clarity for your team. Win-win. The Next Step: Creating a ‘Digital Brain' for Your Team Fast forward to today, and Shawn is using AI to level up even more. He records and transcribes sales calls, discovery calls, and proposal work—then synthesizes it into a knowledge base his team can actually use. No more “Shawn said this one thing on a call” confusion mid-project. The team can look back at the records and apply direction to move forward without him. We've talked about the next step with AI for agency owners: train an AI assistant on your agency's entire knowledge base. That means training it with everything you have in your knowledge bank, including: Past client insights Brand guidelines Design patterns Sales conversations Internal processes Apply these practices ASAP so that your team can tap that knowledge instantly — without pinging you for answers. Think of it as your agency's “digital brain” and the key to your freedom. Why Low-Code + Prebuilt Systems Are Boosting Profits One of Shawn's smartest moves has been leaning hard into reusable systems and low-code tools. He's baked strategy into UX components, aligned dev processes with design frameworks, and streamlined builds so 80% of each site is repeatable. That frees the team to focus on the 20% that really matters—the strategic stuff that drives results (and justifies premium pricing). More profit, faster delivery, better outcomes. Everybody wins. Ready to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Agency? If you're tired of everything running through you and want your team making smart decisions without constant handholding. Then it's time to plug into a community of agency owners who've figured this stuff out. Inside the Agency Mastery Mastermind, you'll learn exactly how to: -Document and systematize your agency's IP -Leverage AI to scale your team's capabilities -Increase profit margins with smarter processes -Step fully into the owner seat—so you can lead, not grind You don't have to figure this out alone.

The journey through Samuel A. Peeples' early story treatment for Star Trek II continues, and this week, we're venturing into some of the most imaginative territory yet. Long before the final script for The Wrath of Khan took shape, Peeples envisioned a film that introduced entirely new characters to the Trek universe. There's a brilliant young doctor with unorthodox methods and a bold romantic interest in Dr. McCoy. Then there's Sub-Commander Thal Arctos: a towering, genetically engineered officer who's all Starfleet and part polar bear. These ideas never made it to screen, but they offer a fascinating look into the creative what-ifs of Star Trek's cinematic future. Returning guest Ben Robinson helps us unpack these bold swings, what they tell us about the era, and why some of Trek's most intriguing concepts are the ones fans have never seen... until now.

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how to improve team collaboration in software development through the lens of AI-driven insights. Whether you're a solo developer, part of a tight-knit team, or scaling across departments, collaboration remains the backbone of efficiency and success. What Does Collaboration Mean in Development? AI kicked off the discussion with a powerful insight: define “efficiency” in context. But more importantly, it highlighted that collaboration fuels efficiency, not just working faster, but working better. Effective collaboration avoids: Redundant work Misunderstood requirements Tech debt and burnout Rob emphasized that a productive team isn't rushing through tasks but solving the correct problems—together—on the first try. Collaboration Strategies for Solo Developers Even solo developers need structured collaboration between their tools, their future selves, and their automation stack. Top collaboration tips for independent devs: Use opinionated frameworks like Next.js or Rails to minimize decision fatigue. Automate repetitive tasks early to save time in the long run. Commit code regularly with meaningful messages. Document workflows using Notion, Obsidian, or Jira—even if you're the only one using them. Containerize development environments for repeatability and rapid setup. “Solo doesn't mean siloed. Collaborate with your tools, your past decisions, and future goals.” Enhancing Collaboration in Small Development Teams For teams of 2–10 developers, Rob and Michael discussed how tight feedback loops and structured communication are essential to avoid chaos. Recommended practices for small team collaboration: Short, focused daily standups Shared development environments Lightweight Agile or Kanban boards Early investment in CI/CD pipelines Use of pair programming or mob programming for knowledge sharing Michael emphasized Agile's power in synchronizing team efforts, avoiding duplicated work, and solving problems more efficiently as a unit. “Agile helps teams collaborate—not just communicate. It keeps everyone moving in the same direction.” Solving Common Bottlenecks Together AI highlighted four universal collaboration pain points and solutions: Slow Code Reviews - Use SLAs and rotate reviewers Unclear Requirements - Kick off with 15-minute clarification huddles Testing Paralysis - Focus on integration tests and avoid overtesting Context Switching - Block dedicated focus hours Michael zeroed in on testing paralysis, especially in early-stage projects, where developers are too busy scaffolding to write tests. Without collaboration on testing plans, critical issues may be overlooked until it is too late. Rob addressed context switching, warning against excessive meetings that fragment developer flow. Leads should shield devs from distraction by delivering distilled, actionable feedback. Final Thoughts on Collaborative Development As teams grow, minor issues scale fast, and so do inefficiencies. Tools, meetings, workflows, and expectations must all scale intentionally. Rob reminded leaders to summarize and distill information before passing it to their teams and to make clever use of tools like AI, recordings, and summaries to keep everyone aligned without wasting time. “If you're building better developers, you're also building better collaborators.” Take Action: Build Collaboration Into Your Workflow Reassess your standups and review cycles Empower solo devs with documentation and CI/CD Streamline onboarding with containers Test early, test together Protect team focus time Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, there's always room to learn and grow together. Contact us at info@develpreneur.com with your questions, feedback, or suggestions for future episodes. Together, let's continue exploring the exciting world of software development.

Before The Wrath of Khan became the fan-favorite sequel we know today, Star Trek II went through multiple story pitches, including one from original series contributor Samuel A. Peeples. In the summer of 1981, Peeples outlined a new character: Commander SsAVIK, a half-Vulcan, half-Romulan officer with a sharp intellect and complex heritage. This week on The Trek Files, Ben Robinson joins Larry to discuss Peeples' early concept for SsAVIK, how it evolved into the Saavik we met on screen, and the wider creative tug-of-war between Gene Roddenberry, Harve Bennett, and Nick Meyer as the sequel took shape. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week, featuring two more unused characters from Peeples' draft! Document and additional references: Samuel A.

Listeners receive practical advice on home maintenance, insurance coverage, and disaster preparedness. Discovering Grayslake: Lessons in Restoration, Community, and Preparedness from McMahon Services In the heart of Grayslake, Illinois, family-owned businesses are the backbone of the community. In a recent episode of "Discovering Grayslake," the spotlight shone on McMahon Services—a company that has grown from humble beginnings into a trusted leader in restoration and cleaning services. Hosted at Agora Co-Working, the conversation with Tom McMahon and Hunter from McMahon Services offered a wealth of insights for homeowners, business owners, and anyone invested in the well-being of their community. This blog post distills the main themes and actionable advice from the episode, diving deep into the nuances of restoration, emergency preparedness, insurance, and the power of community involvement. Whether you're a Grayslake local or simply looking to safeguard your home, these expert tips will help you prepare for the unexpected and build stronger community ties. Table of Contents The McMahon Services Story: From Window Washing to Restoration Experts Tip 1: The Critical Importance of Rapid Response in Emergencies Tip 2: Why Homeowners Should Call Restoration Pros Before Insurance Tip 3: Proactive Home Maintenance to Prevent Disasters Tip 4: Understanding and Optimizing Your Insurance Coverage Tip 5: The Value of Community Involvement and Local Connections Tip 6: Empathy and Support During Times of Crisis Final Thoughts: Building Resilience and Community Spirit The McMahon Services Story: From Window Washing to Restoration Experts McMahon Services' journey began with Tom's grandfather, a Chicago fireman, who started the business by washing windows. Over the years, the company evolved—thanks in part to a pivotal connection with a local insurance agent—into a full-service restoration provider. Today, McMahon Services offers: Water damage restoration Fire and smoke cleanup Mold remediation Biohazard cleanup General cleaning and home improvement services With a staff of over 30 employees and a decade of service in Grayslake and Hainesville, McMahon Services is a testament to the power of adaptability, family values, and community engagement. Tip 1: The Critical Importance of Rapid Response in Emergencies Key Insight: In restoration, time is everything. The sooner professionals arrive, the better the outcome. Why It Matters: Water damage can escalate quickly, leading to mold growth and structural issues within hours. Fast action minimizes damage, reduces costs, and increases the likelihood of salvaging personal property. Actionable Advice: Choose a local provider:** McMahon Services' local ownership allows them to be on-site within an hour, a crucial advantage over larger, less nimble companies. Have emergency contacts ready:** Store the number of a trusted restoration company in your phone and on your fridge. Don't wait for insurance approval:** Immediate mitigation is often required by insurance policies and can prevent claim denials due to “neglect.” Expert Tip: Even if the water seems minor, hidden moisture can cause major problems. Professionals use specialized equipment to detect and dry out unseen water in walls and floors. Tip 2: Why Homeowners Should Call Restoration Pros Before Insurance Key Insight: Restoration experts can help you assess the situation and guide you on whether to file a claim. Why It Matters: Not all water or fire damage is covered by standard policies. Filing unnecessary claims can raise your premiums or result in denied coverage. Actionable Advice: Call restoration first:** Let professionals assess the damage and provide a ballpark estimate. Understand your policy:** Many homeowners are unaware of exclusions (e.g., sump pump failures, sewer backups). Get documentation:** Restoration companies can provide detailed reports and photos to support your claim if needed. Expert Tip: Ask your restoration provider to walk you through the insurance process—they often know what adjusters look for and can help you avoid common pitfalls. Tip 3: Proactive Home Maintenance to Prevent Disasters Key Insight: Many emergencies are preventable with regular maintenance and a little foresight. Why It Matters: Simple oversights, like not detaching hoses in winter, can lead to burst pipes and costly repairs. Sump pump failures are a leading cause of basement flooding. Actionable Advice: Winterize your home:** Detach hoses and shut off exterior hose bibs before freezing temperatures hit. Test your sump pump:** Pour water into the pit to ensure it activates. Consider a battery backup system for power outages. Inspect plumbing and appliances:** Regularly check for leaks, corrosion, and wear. Document your property:** Take photos of valuables and home improvements for insurance purposes. Expert Tip: Schedule seasonal maintenance reminders on your calendar. Prevention is always cheaper than restoration. Tip 4: Understanding and Optimizing Your Insurance Coverage Key Insight: Many homeowners are underinsured or lack the right endorsements for common disasters. Why It Matters: Rising home values and new building codes can leave you under-protected. Not all policies cover basement backups, sump pump failures, or detached structures. Actionable Advice: Review your policy annually:** Meet with your insurance agent to discuss changes in your home or coverage needs. Ask about endorsements:** Ensure you have coverage for water backup, mold, and other common risks. Update for renovations:** Any home improvement or addition should be reported to your insurer. Expert Tip: Keep a digital and physical copy of your policy and inventory list in a safe, accessible place. Tip 5: The Value of Community Involvement and Local Connections Key Insight: Being active in the community builds trust and ensures help is close at hand when disaster strikes. Why It Matters: Local businesses are more invested in the well-being of their neighbors. Community events foster relationships that can be invaluable in times of need. Actionable Advice: Support local businesses:** They're more likely to go the extra mile for their customers. Get involved:** Attend or volunteer at local events, parades, and clean-up days. Network:** Join local chambers of commerce or neighborhood groups to stay informed and connected. Expert Tip: Familiar faces in the community are more approachable during emergencies. Don't hesitate to reach out to those you've met at local events. Tip 6: Empathy and Support During Times of Crisis Key Insight: Restoration is about more than repairs—it's about helping people through some of their toughest moments. Why It Matters: Disasters are emotionally taxing; a compassionate approach makes a world of difference. Empathy builds lasting relationships and trust. Actionable Advice: Choose companies that care:** Look for service providers who emphasize empathy and support. Lean on your community:** Don't be afraid to ask for help or offer it to others in need. Practice kindness:** Small gestures—like checking on a neighbor after a storm—strengthen community bonds. Expert Tip: Restoration professionals often have resources and advice for coping with loss. Don't hesitate to ask for guidance beyond the technical repairs.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche tackle a challenge that many modern developers face: navigating multiple software methodologies. With insights shaped by both real-world experience and AI-generated suggestions, the discussion reveals how developers can stay effective when juggling Agile, Waterfall, DevOps, and hybrid workflows. Understanding Common Software Methodologies The episode begins with an overview of today's most widely used software methodologies: Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, Kanban, DevOps, and SAFe. Rob and Michael highlight that developers often switch between these within the same organization or even across concurrent projects, depending on client requirements, legacy constraints, or team structure. The result? A dynamic but complex work environment that demands both technical and mental agility. The Challenge of Switching Software Methodologies The core challenge is staying productive while adapting to different software methodologies across teams and projects. Developers face more than just a change in process—they often deal with different toolsets, coding standards, sprint cadences, and collaboration models. This constant context switching can drain mental resources. “It's like being bilingual,” Michael explains. “If you're not fluent in a method, switching is exhausting.” Even development tools play a role. Some developers separate projects by using different IDEs to help them mentally shift gears between methodologies. Clarifying ‘Done' in Software Methodologies Rob and Michael explore a common point of contention: the definition of “done.” In Agile, it often means feature-ready for review or feedback. In Waterfall, it usually means final and locked. “You'll start a war in a meeting just asking what ‘done' means,” Rob quips. Michael uses a cooking analogy to explain the importance of clear expectations: requirements are the recipe, code is the ingredients, and the finished product must match what was promised. Without agreement on what “done” means for each software methodology, delivery and testing become chaotic. Adapting to Different Software Methodologies To truly thrive, developers must move from a methodology purist to an adaptive mindset, focusing on the value being delivered rather than the rigidity of a particular framework. “Don't serve the methodology. Serve the customer,” Rob emphasizes. Michael reminds us to avoid getting lost in small details, like UI color tweaks, when more critical features remain incomplete. Staying aligned with the end goal ensures that effort translates into real progress, regardless of methodology. Documenting Within Software Methodologies In teams that use multiple software methodologies, documentation often becomes fragmented or overly complex. Rob and Michael both stress that great developers learn to write “just enough” documentation—and keep it in one place. Michael offers a best practice: let the codebase be the source of truth. Embedding JavaDocs, comments, or changelogs within the code ensures that updates stay consistent with the actual implementation. It reduces dependency on separate, often outdated documentation tools. “If your code and documentation don't match, one of them is lying,” Michael warns. Key Takeaways on Software Methodologies Understand core methodologies — Agile, Waterfall, DevOps, and hybrids Support healthy context switching — Use tools and routines that help you adapt Align on ‘done' — Define it clearly with your team Focus on outcomes — Avoid getting stuck in rigid process rules Document just enough — And keep it close to your code Be Adaptable, Stay Focused To succeed across software methodologies, developers must be flexible, clear, and focused on delivering value. Rather than being loyal to a single framework, the best developers understand the principles behind them all. They communicate effectively, manage context switches efficiently, and utilize smart documentation to keep projects aligned. When you serve the goal—not just the process—you become a truly adaptive developer.

Ta'anat Katan & Poshe'a - Document for Daf 42 by Simon Wolf
In an era where Artificial Intelligence is redefining our world at a remarkably swift pace, the traditional way of doing things no longer guarantees decent outcomes. The transformation of how we work, create, and find meaning due to AI puts the conventional job pyramid into a disruptive mode. It's our responsibility to embrace curiosity, adapt boldly, and focus on delivering meaningful outcomes rather than routine tasks in order to thrive in this constantly changing landscape. It is no longer enough to simply work harder; it's essential to work smarter with the assistance of AI. The future belongs to those who are willing to combine the power of human creativity with the power of AI. In this week's episode, Nathan and Scott bring their usual updates on what new changes occurred in the landscape of AI. Then they share thoughts on the differences in AI adoption between the private and nonprofit sectors. The nonprofits have a responsibility to use AI thoughtfully because it can magnify their impact and shape the future of technology at the same time. Nathan then explains the importance of redefining success by choosing joy over traditional job titles in an AI-driven world. He also comments on the importance of encouraging the younger generations to follow what they love instead of the paycheck or traditional career paths. Furthermore, Nathan and Scott pay attention to discussing a much-needed topic: the limitations of AI when it comes to providing the human connection. AI can definitely answer your questions, but it cannot make you feel heard as another human being. It's important to remember what a technology like AI is capable of and not capable of providing. Wrapping up the conversation, Scott provides tips to train ChatGPT fast, and Nathan contributes with the ponder of the week and encourages people to slow down and take time to ground themselves with the reality of what surrounds them.

This week we're replaying one of our most popular episodes! Back to regularly scheduled programming in 2 weeks! ThanksForget passive income, find passionate income? OK, OK, you can do both. This week, Lauren is bringing you her interview with Brian Luebben. They talked about what financial freedom is, and Brian firmly believes the best way to get there is through passionate income. You must figure out what fires you up, and what you want to spend your time doing. And once 50% of your time is spent on your side hustle, go in on it full time. Your financial foundation is not sexy stuff. Brian's involved house hacking (renting part of a property out while living there) in Atlanta, GA. Brian drops a TON of actionable advice. What does your exciting life look like? Maybe it's not traveling around the world. Document this in detail, using a tool like a vision board. Surround yourself with mentors and coaches. Your peers matter too. Confidence comes from action. Not the other way around. Your environment matters. Information is not the answer, you have to take action. YOU will be the reason you succeed.About Brian Luebben:Brian Luebben is an Entrepreneur, Podcaster, and Real Estate Investor out of Atlanta, GA. He started a DJ company in college. During his career, he made it to the top of a Fortune 500 Company in their Sales Organization, only to realize quickly that living the “corporate America life” wasn't for him. Brian now runs a successful podcast “The Action Academy” where he talks to seven, eight, and nine figure entrepreneurs on how to earn freedom in life and business. Through his podcast, cash-flowing real estate, and his Media Company, he has the Financial Freedom to do what he wants, when he wants, with who he wants.Brian left corporate job in March 2022, hopping on a one way flight, and traveling the world for 6 months straight. His new mission is to help 1,000,000 other people do the same through The Action Academy.Connect with Brian:https://twitter.com/theactionpodhttps://www.instagram.com/actionacademypodcast/https://theactionacademy.co/Connect with Lauren: https://twitter.com/AdultingIsEasy https://www.instagram.com/adultingiseasyreal/

In this week's episode, I explore crucial financial planning lessons for Irish families, highlighting examples where small oversights led to significant tax bills. Discover how one family's misunderstanding of Ireland's Dwelling House Exemption resulted in an unexpected €77,000 tax liability, and how another family's mismanagement of the Small Gift Exemption cost them over €65,000. Learn essential strategies for gifting, saving, and inheritance planning, and understand why precise adherence to tax regulations, supported by expert advice, is key to safeguarding your family's financial legacy. Good intentions aren't enough - strict compliance with Irish tax law is essential. Document and complete transactions properly - incomplete paperwork can lead to significant taxes. The Small Gift Exemption (€3,000 annually) must involve actual yearly transfers - accumulating gifts without documentation won't satisfy Revenue. Seek professional financial and legal advice early to avoid costly errors in wealth transfer and inheritance planning. Understand clearly defined tax exemptions like the Dwelling House Exemption - missing even one condition can result in major unexpected taxes. Hope it helps! Disclaimer

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I talk about something I think we've gotten backwards in the restaurant industry — loyalty. Too many of us are trying to buy it with discounts and deals. But real loyalty? That comes from connection. I dig into how to move beyond the transactional and start creating experiences that actually mean something to your guests. It's about storytelling. It's about generosity. It's about making people feel like they matter. When you build that kind of emotional connection, you don't need to bribe people to come back — they come back because they want to. And better yet, they tell their friends. If you're looking to turn one-time visitors into lifelong fans, this episode is for you.Takeaways:You can run a successful restaurant without running a successful restaurant business.Most restaurant owners have great food but lack business acumen.Discounts do not drive loyalty; they create transactional relationships.Guests return for the experience, not for discounts.Creating a sense of belonging is key to guest loyalty.Generosity should be intentional and targeted, not random.Memorable experiences lead to word-of-mouth marketing.Identify high-value guest moments for targeted gestures of generosity.Document and share guest stories to enhance marketing efforts.True loyalty is built on experiences, not freebies.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Profitability02:03 The Power of Genuine Connection Over Discounts05:51 Creating Memorable Guest ExperiencesIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

Between 2008 and 2010, a secretive program within the Defense Intelligence Agency investigated several high-profile UAP incidents, exploring their national defense implications and the possibility of whether new technologies could be derived from their study. Known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP), the program was the catalyst behind a resurgence in interest in mysterious aerial phenomena that would occur several years later once The New York Times revealed the existence of the program. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the recent revelation that official documents produced by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, the official contractor for the DIA's AAWSAP program, have leaked online. Specifically, we explore new revelations that have come to light about the program's investigation into one of modern history's most famous cases: the 2004 USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" incident. What do the documents reveal, and how does it compare to existing knowledge about this landmark UAP case? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

Before he was a celebrated Star Trek writer and producer, Ronald D. Moore was a fan, just like so many of us, watching reruns, devouring The Making of Star Trek, and listening to Gene Roddenberry's 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. In part one of our two-part conversation, Ron reflects on how that Columbia Records release shaped his early views of the franchise. We explore the stories that resonated with him most, including Gene's candid recollections of his own childhood challenges, and how those moments helped inspire Ron's own journey into the Star Trek universe.
