Food delivery apps offer a convenient service to get delicious food brought directly to your door. But they can also pose financial hazards that can derail even the tightest budget. How can food delivery habits impact your overall financial health? Keep listening to find out.    Links: Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   It's hard to resist the ease and comfort of using a food delivery service.  Whether it's for lunch, dinner, or a few simple items you need from the local grocery store, these services bring the world to your doorstep.    Delivery app services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub may be easy and convenient to use, but they can also be the reasons we find ourselves overspending on meals month over month.     Food delivery apps can often misguide us in various ways, and their impact on our budgets is significant. How do they influence our spending habits and finances?  Well, there's a chance you'll be paying more for the item than you would if you went to the store or restaurant yourself. Many restaurants list higher prices for items on delivery platforms to offset fees on their end. For example, a burger that costs $10 at the restaurant might be $12-$13 on the app. It's hard to say whether all restaurants increase pricing for items within the app, but I've noticed it a few times when I order some of my favorite treats from a local coffee shop in my neighborhood.   Another thing to keep in mind is that you can expect to pay additional fees, such as delivery and processing fees. For example, most platforms charge a delivery fee, which can range between $1.99 and $6.99, depending on the app, the distance for delivery, and demand. They can charge a service fee, typically a percentage of the order, such as 10-15%. Some apps will charge a small order fee if the order doesn't meet a minimum. And then there's, of course, the tip. Although tipping is optional, it's often expected and essential to give a little extra to the driver delivering your order. Considering all the fees, a $15 meal in person could become $25+ after the fees and the tip. Not exactly a budget breaker, but over time, those fees and tips can add up to a substantial amount of unexpected costs.     It's important to recognize that you are paying a premium for meals ordered through the apps. While delivery is undoubtedly convenient—especially when we aren't in the mood to prep, cook, and clean—the real money-saving option is cooking for yourself. On average, restaurant meals can cost up to five times more than making them at home. For instance, a deluxe cheeseburger might cost $4.63 to prepare at home, but it could cost $13.69 for takeout and $23.79 for delivery after the fees and tip are factored in. By consistently opting for food delivery, you'll end up spending considerably more on your meals. Sometimes the convenience of delivery is justifiable, but other times it's not worth the extra cost, so before opening the app to hunt for tonight's dinner, consider the significant cost savings of preparing the same meal at home.   So, we've covered the most significant way food delivery apps can cost you more. How can we help you enjoy the benefits of these apps without overspending? Here are a few ways to minimize the chances of overspending the next time you want to order out.    Opt for takeout and pick up the order yourself instead of paying more for delivery. You'll avoid all the added fees, and there's no need to tip a driver.    Avoid using the app and order directly from the restaurant. This can reduce the processing or service fees associated with ordering through an app.    Use a loyalty program to save. Most apps offer a loyalty program with zero delivery fees and other savings, albeit for a monthly fee. But if you find yourself using the apps frequently enough, do the math to determine if getting on a loyalty plan will save you money.   Set a monthly delivery budget to ensure you have money set aside for food delivery. This is an easy way to ensure you'll have the funds available to afford the joys of food delivery without the danger of overspending.   While food delivery services offer the ease and convenience of having delicious food and other household items delivered directly to our door, they can also lead to excessive overspending and the buildup of bad debt. It's crucial to remember that using these apps can be enjoyable, but they require discipline and financial awareness. With a bit of attention, planning, and discipline, we can all enjoy the benefit of using food delivery apps without damaging our finances.  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 491) Gig App Transparency: What DoorDash & Uber DON'T Show You (But Should) Are you a gig app driver or a customer using DoorDash or Uber? It's time to talk about complete transparency — something that's long overdue in the gig economy. In this video, we break down how drivers are often kept in the dark about their full payout, and why customers deserve to know exactly where their money is going. From hidden tips to vague service fees, the current system leaves both sides guessing. That's not just bad business — it's unfair. We call for: 100% transparency in driver offers – No more hidden tips or adjusted payouts after delivery. Detailed customer payment breakdowns – Customers should see exactly how much goes to the driver, how much is kept by the company, and what part covers fees. Real-time earnings info – Drivers deserve to know what they're accepting BEFORE committing to the job. Trust & fairness on both sides – When drivers and customers are informed, the platform becomes stronger for everyone. Whether you're hustling to make ends meet or just ordering lunch, you have a right to transparency. Drop a comment with your experiences as a driver or customer. Are you getting the info you need? Let's demand better from these platforms — together. Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Ryan Glasgow is the CEO of Sprig, an AI-native survey platform built to replace legacy tools like Qualtrics. Sprig combines advanced survey capabilities, AI-powered analysis, and an intuitive user experience to help research and product teams get richer insights, faster. Before starting Sprig, Ryan led product at Weebly and Vurb, where he saw how slow, fragmented research workflows could limit product velocity. Today, Sprig is used by companies like Stripe, DoorDash, Notion, and Netflix to run surveys, analyze results instantly with AI, and deliver insights that shape product decisions.In our conversation, we discuss:* How the research community's mindset toward AI has shifted from fear to experimentation.* What it means to treat AI like an eager intern and why that mental model changes everything.* How to break your workflow into “job steps” and plug AI in where it can actually help.* What Sprig is building to support both qual and quant researchers at different levels.* Why sharing raw data with stakeholders (not just summaries) might be the next big unlock for research impact.Some takeaways:* Many teams outside of research are still figuring out what AI is good for. Meanwhile, UXRs are already experimenting with real tasks, like synthesis, survey creation, and study planning, because they've had to. Ryan points out that researchers are becoming internal AI evangelists, getting asked to present their workflows to other departments. The field's willingness to experiment is turning into a quiet leadership moment.* The best way to work with AI? Pretend it's a new intern. It's fast, eager, and can take on a ton but needs oversight, review, and clear direction. That framing unlocks a very different way of thinking: not “Will it replace me?” but “What can I delegate to it so I can focus on higher-impact work?” That shift is showing up in how researchers manage tasks across their workflow.* Before you plug AI into your stack, audit your actual workflow. Break it into steps, like study planning, stakeholder requests, distribution, synthesis, insight sharing, and decide where AI can support. Sprig is built around this approach, helping researchers insert AI at specific job steps. Trying to use one tool for everything often backfires; success comes from surgical fits, not general use.* Sprig is expanding from in-product surveys into long-form survey support with built-in AI features for study creation, open text clustering, and synthesis. Ryan shared how qual researchers use AI to draft surveys, get feedback, and even generate first-pass summaries of open ends. Other tools like Notebook LM and Gamma help researchers do faster analysis and deck creation without skipping the rigor.* One of the most radical ideas Ryan shared: share your raw research data, transcripts, open ends, survey results, so stakeholders can ask their own questions. With tools like ChatGPT or Notebook LM, that data becomes living, queryable insight. It turns research from a static deliverable into an exploratory tool. It also takes the pressure off researchers to have all the answers, all the time.Where to find Ryan:* Website* LinkedIn* XStop piecing it together.

I've hosted this show - for what is just six weeks shy of three years - on AmericaOne Radio. To let you behind the curtain a little, I and its owner wanted to be candid about its current and future.In essence, Jeremy reached out to me last week to tell me he was going to close up shop. AmericaOne has been a labor of love/passion for Jeremy and less about making money. In fact, it's cost him. For that reason and with the general fatigue many are feeling after last November, and because he has a full-time job and other ventures he'd like to focus on, AmericaOne is likely to disappear.Sort of. There's the potential for new ownership and that may bring changes - but good changes - to the outlet. So much is up in the air, but I felt it right to let AOR's and TRS's listeners know everything that's on the table. With that, onto show material:The open theft of our right to cast votes for 'regime change'Donald Trump knows enough about U.S. history to know Presidents and their party usually lose the House in the next election cycle, and both his and generic polls show that to be likely in 2026, as well. To offset that possibility, of course, he and Vice President J.D. Vance are working the phones and executive branch airline budget to get red states to mid-decade gerrymander. MAGA memes, of course, misinform their voting bloc howling indignation at states like Delaware and Vermont gerrymander (when in fact, they have only one House seat), adding in states like Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, which have two. Uhm, how do you afford House representation to 40% of those states fairly with only two House seats, math wizzes? Context is everything, and that's what I'm here. Hi, Democrats; this is where you bring up (as Texas Rep. James Talarico has) that no Republican voted with Democrats on a House measure to make gerrymandering illegal and that the Trump-packed Supreme Court didn't address it when it could, either. Or, that uncapping The House, by the way would address their howling about these smaller blue states lacking representation for those poor-poor minorities of Republicans. That, incidentally, contributes to fixing the Electoral College, SO USE THIS MOMENT TO DO SOMETHING.Now, Trump wants to eliminate mail-in voting (the Constitution prohibits him from doing so but when's that stopped him, before?) It's par for the course, though: Republicans are all about making it more difficult for law-abiding legal voters to vote. High turnouts almost always mean "GOP losses." So they have to suppress. Even 'hero' Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia Secretary of State who stood up to Trump in 2020, whiffed when given the chance to speak against Trump's latest attempt to rig voting. Patricia Murphy at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, however, wrote, that there's a movement afoot to make it as easy to vote as it is to order your lunch on Door Dash. That's right: using your mobile device. Murphy informs that The Mobile Voting Project's Bradley Tusk's recent TED Talk illuminates the argument for what would be a massive expansion of voter participation opportunity. We can predict where the pushback will come from, though, right?

If the tension between holding on and letting go feels all too familiar, you’re not alone. This episode is rich with encouragement and real talk about living surrendered, even while navigating hopes and disappointments—rooted in the steady goodness of God. Today Heather welcomes back her friend, author, and fellow pastor’s wife, Rebecca George, for an honest, relatable conversation about the ever-challenging tension between surrender and control. Episode Highlights: Surrender vs. Control: What’s Really at Stake?Heather and Rebecca dive headfirst into the push and pull many women feel between wanting to surrender to God and desperately trying to control outcomes—especially around good and godly desires, like marriage, family, health, or career. Heather observes how easy it is for our goals and expectations—even the good ones—to become idols, subtly pulling our hearts away from God. Rebecca shares her personal journey of longing for marriage later than most of her peers, describing the emotional wrestle of watching others get what she deeply wanted and how that desire, while good, could easily take God’s place on the “throne of the heart.” Modern Culture Makes Surrender Even HarderThey reflect on how instant-gratification culture (think Amazon Prime, DoorDash, and Uber) actually conditions us to expect control, which makes real spiritual surrender even harder. Heather likens our current approach to life as having an “Amazon Prime mentality”—believing we can make anything happen if we try hard enough. Redefining SurrenderRebecca explains that surrender isn’t simply giving up or becoming passive (“I’ll just sit at home and wait for God to drop someone on my windshield!”)—but is more about daily, sometimes moment-by-moment, recognizing where our desires have edged into idolatry, and inviting God to search our hearts (Psalm 139:23-24). True surrender may require us to “lay it down at Jesus’ feet” repeatedly—sometimes a dozen times in a single day. Living in the Tension (Not the Black-and-White)The conversation unpacks the problematic “black and white thinking” that makes us feel like we have to choose between frantic striving and total resignation. Instead, Heather and Rebecca discuss how the Bible calls us to live under God’s grace, trusting His goodness even in the waiting and uncertainty. Rebecca emphasizes God’s sovereignty and immutability—He is good and in control, regardless of whether we get what we want. Surrender is deeply tied to humility—admitting, “You are God and I am not,” and being okay with that. Practical EncouragementRebecca urges listeners not to be discouraged if surrender is a daily (or hourly!) process. The “muscle memory” of waiting and trusting needs to be built, especially in a culture that minimizes waiting or struggle. Heather adds that inviting God to lovingly “press on sore spots” may hurt, but always leads to healing. About Rebecca’s New BookRebecca introduces her new book, You’re Not Too Late: Trusting God’s Timing in a Hurry-Up World**, designed for women at any stage who feel “the ache of the almost.” Every chapter includes prompts, prayers, and real-life case studies, plus a free companion video series for small groups or personal study.

SummaryIn this inspiring episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Pop, a Thai-born entrepreneur, shares his remarkable journey from arriving in the U.S. in 2005 with only $300 and dreams of becoming the next Bill Gates, to building a 12-restaurant hospitality empire. Initially working in restaurants to pay the bills, he discovered his true calling as a chef during a pivotal moment at a food court. Over two decades, Pop built Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine through authenticity, teamwork, and an unyielding work ethic, navigating challenges like the 2008 housing crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic threatened his business, Pop innovated with visually appealing Thai food trays sold through DoorDash, turning a near-disaster into a massive success. He emphasizes hospitality from the heart, balancing tradition with innovation, building trust in his team, and creating restaurants that feel like home for both staff and guests. His story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and leading with purpose.8–10 Key Takeaways Authenticity is the foundation – Staying true to his Thai heritage and hospitality traditions has kept Pop's brand consistent and memorable. A defining moment can set your path – Cooking a dish unexpectedly for a customer early in his career gave him the confidence to pursue a culinary path. Innovation in crisis – During COVID-19, Pop transformed surplus catering trays into popular takeout sets, ultimately selling 150,000+ trays. Adaptability is essential – Shifting from 90% in-house dining to 100% takeout/delivery during the pandemic saved his business. Balancing tech with soul – Leveraging DoorDash, QR codes, and digital tools while keeping hospitality personal ensures growth without losing authenticity. Teamwork is built on trust – Pop transitioned from a “one-man show” to empowering staff through training, communication, and letting go of ego. Culture starts at clock-in – He insists on starting every shift with positivity, knowing energy flows through the food to the guest experience. Customer relationships go beyond transactions – Many regulars have become lifelong friends and part of the extended “Farmhouse family.” Leadership is by example – Pop's own progression from prep cook to owner shapes how he mentors his team. Resilience is forged over time – Navigating personal, economic, and operational challenges has strengthened his business and leadership philosophy.
