A healthy 47-year-old man from New Jersey suddenly died after delayed allergic reactions to red meat; it was later confirmed to be caused by alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), marking the first documented fatality linked to tick-driven mammalian meat allergy His symptoms began hours after eating beef following a recent camping trip, during which he sustained 12 to 13 suspected lone star tick bites — exposure to this tick is now known to trigger the immune sensitization that leads to AGS AGS occurs when the lone star tick introduces the alpha-gal sugar molecule into the bloodstream, causing the body to form antibodies and react severely, sometimes fatally, upon future consumption of mammalian meat or byproducts Cases of AGS are rising explosively across the United States, with documented diagnoses climbing from 12 in 2009 to more than 110,000 by 2022; estimates suggest over 450,000 Americans may be affected Experts warn that expanding tick ranges, misdiagnoses, and lack of awareness among healthcare providers are fueling this hidden public health threat, emphasizing the urgent need for preventive tick-bite strategies and proper tick removal techniques

How to Build Cohesive, Faithful, Application Driven Sermons Matt Brown shows how every biblical passage has a built in structure and how recognising that structure can transform the clarity, focus, and impact of your sermons. Recorded at our Longmont, Colorado training event.Matt explains that a passage works like a bridge. Every bridge has intentional direction, interconnected sections, and an intended destination. Scripture is the same. When you trace the flow of thought the biblical author has crafted, you begin to preach with greater confidence and sharper purpose.You will learn how to:identify the major movements of a passagefollow the progression of ideas that reveal the author's intentturn the structure of the text into the structure of your sermondevelop application that grows naturally from the passagepreach cohesive, clear, and compelling messagesUsing Acts 11 as a worked example, Matt models how to observe the text, divide it into meaningful units, see how each section contributes to the whole, and discover the central idea your sermon should advance.Matt has been married for almost 20 years and has 4 amazing kids.  He has been serving in vocational ministry for 15 years, preaching expositional sermons in a variety of contexts from college ministry to lead church planter.  He loves pastoring pastors and coaching church planters to see the Great Commission advance through healthy multiplying churches.  He is a part of the Crossway Church Planting Network (crosswaynetwork.org) and has been involved in leading multiple Simeon Trust preaching workshops.  He loves Christ, coffee, and Chipotle (and alliteration).   They are currently in process of planting a church in Golden Co, called Golden City Church, which is the forth church plant they have been directly been a part of.goldencitychurch.com For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

In this episode, we explore malignant atrophic papulosis—also known as Degos disease—an extraordinarily rare microvascular disorder so uncommon that most clinicians will never see a single case. For decades, medical literature labeled it "uniformly fatal." Our guest, Dr. Lee Shapiro, encountered this reality when he began treating a rapidly deteriorating 16-year-old boy with no clear treatment path. Driven by urgency, he reached out to experts across the country, slowly piecing together clues that ultimately led to the first successful treatment of systemic Degos disease. Today, Dr. Shapiro is a leading advocate for patients, connecting a global community, promoting early recognition, and working tirelessly to expand access to life-saving therapies.    Learn more at The Degos Disease Foundation

AI is rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship—and Julia McCoy's story proves why the winners won't be the ones working harder, but the ones working smarter. Tony Whatley welcomes Julia —business, marketing, and AI expert—to a conversation that pulls no punches about what's next for entrepreneurs…and what's at stake if you ignore it. After a meteoric run in AI (including building a YouTube audience of 200,000+), Julia shares how a sudden health crisis forced her to rebuild her business from the ground up—often working in 10-minute increments from her phone. That constraint led to an unexpected breakthrough: using AI the right way, not to replace the human, but to replace the grind. Tony and Julia dig into AI "clones," why transparency matters, and how training AI with your voice and expertise can help founders scale content without losing authenticity. Then the conversation goes deeper. Julia explains how her search for answers took her beyond conventional approaches and into research on frequency, bioelectric health, and the future impact of quantum technology—raising big questions about innovation, truth, and what entrepreneurs should pay attention to next. If you're building a business in a world being reshaped by AI, automation, and emerging tech—and you want a real conversation about leveraging these tools without losing your values—this episode will challenge your assumptions and expand your perspective. Key highlights: How to use AI to scale your business without losing your voice Why AI should replace the work—not the human Building and training AI avatars/clones as an extension of your expertise Turning crisis and constraint into innovation and leverage Creating high-impact content with AI in minutes, not hours Why most entrepreneurs misuse AI—and how to avoid generic output What quantum technology and frequency may mean for the future of business and health Connect with Julia McCoy: YouTube: Julia McCoy Website: FirstMovers.ai Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

Are we finally treating water risk like a board-level issue, rather than a line item that only shows up when something breaks?   In this episode, I'm joined by Emilio Tenuta, SVP and Chief Sustainability Officer at Ecolab, to unpack why water has become a strategic variable for business, right alongside energy and carbon. Ecolab works with customers across more than 40 industries in more than 170 countries, so Emilio has a front row seat to how quickly the conversation is changing.   Why water risk feels different in 2025 One of the most useful parts of this conversation is how Emilio frames water as "hyperlocal." A company can publish a global target, but the real pressure shows up basin by basin, site by site, community by community.   We also discuss the misconception that water is primarily an operational concern. The knock-on effects show up in uptime, expansion plans, permitting, reputation, and the social license to operate.   Emilio points to disclosure data that puts real money behind the issue. CDP has estimated water-related supply chain risks at $77 billion across responding companies, which helps explain why boards are paying closer attention.   Where AI meets water and energy   AI is a catalyst in two directions at once. It can help organizations measure, predict, and reduce waste, but it also drives demand for more data centers, more power, and more cooling.   We examine the tension many people are whispering about: building digital capacity in places already facing water stress. Emilio's view is pragmatic: the answer is responsible innovation, coupled with transparency on how water is used and how impacts are managed.   That takes us into Ecolab's push toward digital visibility and real-time control, because you cannot improve what you cannot see.   From "site to chip" cooling and smarter stewardship   Emilio shares that Ecolab's 3D TRASAR Technology for direct-to-chip liquid cooling is designed to protect high-performance servers by monitoring coolant health indicators in real time and translating that data into actionable steps for operators.   We also discuss what happens when AI is applied to the water side of the data center equation. Ecolab and Digital Realty have described a pilot across 35 US data centers to reduce water use by up to 15% and avoid up to 126 million gallons of potable water withdrawn annually.   To round things out, we discuss circularity as a business strategy, the role of collaboration through efforts like the Water Resilience Coalition, and why Ecolab's Watermark Study is worth reading if you want a pulse check on water stewardship and public sentiment.   So after listening, where do you land on the big question: is AI going to become a stress test for local water systems, or a tool that finally helps us run them better, and why?

Hemant Taneja believes you can sneeze and reach a billion dollars in healthcare revenue, but that most of that revenue tells you nothing about whether the system is actually getting better.This week, Halle sits down with the CEO of General Catalyst and author of The Transformation Principles to discuss what happens when you stop treating revenue as the primary KPI and start asking harder questions about impact, incentives, and system change. They get into his “health assurance” thesis, what it means for a VC firm to buy a hospital, why “profit-only” capitalism has run its course, and how AI and new payment models could finally bend the cost curve instead of just inflating it.We cover:

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Bobby DeMars, founder of Blind Barrels, shares how a simple blind whiskey tasting turned into a fast-growing membership business. He talks about scaling from a small idea to 4,000+ members with strong community and experience-driven branding. Bobby breaks down the challenges of regulations, marketing, and cash flow in the alcohol industry. He also shares mindset lessons on resilience, meditation, and long-term thinking as an entrepreneur. A real, honest conversation about growth, risk-taking, and building something meaningful from scratch. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here.   Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: 1. What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Bobby DeMars believes the hardest part of growing a small business is constantly balancing present-day problems while still thinking ahead to the future, because founders are forced to solve immediate challenges without losing sight of long-term direction, and if they become too focused on today's fires, they risk drifting off course and missing what's coming next. 2. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Bobby DeMars says his favorite business book is The Power of Now, explaining that while it isn't a traditional business book, it helped him the most by teaching him how to stay present, manage stress, and build resilience, which he believes is essential for handling the emotional highs and lows of growing a business. 3. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Bobby DeMars recommends a few go-to resources for growing a small business—he's a fan of the Smart Passive Income podcast for practical marketing and monetization tactics, How I Built This for storytelling and founder lessons, The Tim Ferriss Show for deep dives into productivity and mindset, and online platforms like Coursera and Udemy for skills training in everything from sales to operations.   4. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Bobby DeMars says one of the most helpful tools for growing a small business is Notion, because it lets you centralize your workflows, plan goals, track tasks, organize content and data, and collaborate with your team all in one flexible workspace without needing a bunch of separate apps. 5. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Bobby DeMars says that if he could give himself advice on day one, it would be to be patient, trust the process, and not let fear or panic drive decisions, reminding himself that growth takes time, mistakes are part of the journey, and learning to understand the numbers, delegate earlier, and stay mentally resilient would save a lot of unnecessary stress along the way.

This week Mike sits down with entrepreneur Chuck Cuda—a man who transformed a life-altering setback into a multimillion-dollar comeback. Chuck's journey begins with a single decision that landed him in prison after he refused to testify against friends in an illegal sports-betting case. But it was in a prison cell on Thanksgiving Day where he experienced the wake-up call that reshaped his entire life. From that moment, accountability became his superpower. Chuck rebuilt everything from the ground up. He went on to close over $200 million in commercial real estate deals, mastering the fundamentals of discipline, prospecting, and relationship-driven success. His ambition then carried him into the fast-evolving cannabis industry, where he expanded an operation from 5 to 22 licenses across three states—turning major financial challenges into profitability. Driven by purpose, Chuck also shares his passion for philanthropy, inspired by his father's battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Through the OPES Charitable Foundation, he has helped raise more than $3 million for cancer research. His daily affirmations, leadership philosophy, and belief in limitless potential offer a blueprint for anyone looking to rebuild their life or elevate their mindset.   IN THIS EPISODE:

William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land (1912) is a staggering piece of early weird fiction — an immense, apocalyptic vision set millions of years in the future, after the sun has died. Humanity survives in the Last Redoubt, a titanic metal pyramid lit by internal power, surrounded by eternal darkness and monstrous forces that hunger for the light within. The protagonist, a telepathic man of that far-future world, senses the spirit of his long-dead love calling from another human fortress — the Lesser Redoubt — now besieged in the black wilderness. Driven by love and duty, he ventures into the Night Land: a desolate, monster-haunted plain where the Earth's surface is stalked by “Watchers,” “Silent Ones,” and colossal horrors that defy comprehension. It's equal parts cosmic horror, doomed romance, and proto-science-fantasy. Hodgson's prose is archaic, deliberately medieval in tone, which makes the book feel like an illuminated manuscript describing a dream of the end of time. Modern readers often find it dense, but it rewards endurance — this is an early ancestor of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and dark science fiction from Dune to Dark Souls.

Reinventing Physical Security in a Cyber-Driven World | DailyCyber 282 with Oscar Hedaya ~ Watch Now ~In this episode of DailyCyber, I sit down with Oscar Hedaya, founder and inventor of The Space Safe, the world's first next-generation connected safe designed to bridge the gap between physical security and modern cyber threats.For decades, safes have barely changed. Oscar set out to fix that — by designing a safe that incorporates WiFi, cameras, sensors, real-time event visibility, and a mobile app to bring physical protection into the connected era.But with innovation comes new questions: does adding connectivity make a safe less secure?Do people still need safes in a world that uses less cash?And how do you build trust in a product designed to protect what matters most?This episode is ideal for cybersecurity leaders, product designers, IoT professionals, and anyone interested in the convergence of hardware and cyber risk.

We are delighted to announce the first ever Irish episode of Russell Tovey and Robert Diament's acclaimed Talk Art podcast, recorded live at the National Gallery of Ireland Lecture Theatre on Saturday November 8th for Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025.Isabel Nolan, Ireland's representative at the 2026 Venice Biennale, has an expansive practice that incorporates sculptures, paintings, textile works, photographs, writing and works on paper. Her subject matter is similarly comprehensive, taking in cosmological phenomena, religious reliquaries, Greco-Roman sculptures and literary/historical figures, examining the behaviour of humans and animals alike.These diverse artistic investigations are driven by intensive research, but the end result is always deeply personal and subjective. Exploring the “intimacy of materiality”, Nolan's work ranges from the architectural – steel sculptures that frame or obstruct our path – to small handmade objects in clay, hand-tufted wool rugs illuminated with striking cosmic imagery, to drawings and paintings using humble gouache or colouring pencils. In concert, they feel equally enchanted by and afraid of the world around us, expressing humanity's fear of mortality and deep need for connection as well as its startling achievements in art and thought.Driven by “the calamity, the weirdness, horror, brevity and wonder of existing alongside billions of other preoccupied humans”, her works give generous form to fundamental questions about the ways the chaos of the world is made beautiful or given meaning through human activity.In 2026, Nolan will represent Ireland at the 61st Venice Biennale, with Georgina Jackson and The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art as the curator and Cian O'Brien as producer. In 2025, Nolan participated in the 13th Liverpool Biennial, Bedrock, curated by Marie-Anne McQuay. Isabel Nolan lives and works in Dublin.Follow @NolanIsabel and @KerlinGallery.Thank you @DublinGalleryWeekend, we loved visiting! We can't wait to return to beautiful Ireland. Hosted on Acast.

Many entrepreneurs reach a point in their careers where the traditional corporate path no longer aligns with their values, energy, or passions. For today's guest, that moment came when he realized the culture surrounding him no longer reflected the performance-driven lifestyle that fueled his passions and motivated him.  Today, I'm sitting down with my longtime friend and serial entrepreneur, Blake Upton, founder of Moxie Bike Shop and Caffeine & Watts. Blake shares how his journey began with a passion for fitness, a talent for building relationships, and an instinct for creating environments where people feel like they belong.  From growing a small race team into a powerful marketing engine and turning a business that started in his garage into a high-end performance retail brand, Blake reveals the pivotal decisions that shaped his entrepreneurial path.  Whether you're an entrepreneur searching for direction or someone considering turning a personal passion into a professional pursuit, this conversation offers valuable lessons in resilience, authenticity, and embracing the unknown. In this podcast interview, you'll learn:  Why following your passion often reveals business opportunities others overlook. How performance-driven communities create trust, loyalty, and long-term brand growth. Lessons Blake learned transitioning from corporate sales to entrepreneurship. The challenges of scaling a retail business and adapting to industry changes. Why authenticity, consistency, and community remain the foundation of his success.

How do you make sense of an industry that is changing at a pace few predicted, especially with SIGNAL London still fresh in our minds and Twilio unveiling the next stage of its vision for customer engagement? That question sits at the heart of today's conversation with Peter Bell, VP of Marketing for EMEA at Twilio, who joined me to unpack what the past year has taught both companies and consumers about AI's role in shaping modern experiences. Peter begins by grounding everything in a single, striking shift. Only a year ago, AI-powered search barely registered in global traffic. Today it accounts for around a fifth of all searches. That leap signals a broader behavioral shift as consumers move instinctively toward conversational interfaces, which, in turn, leaves brands with a clear message. The clock has moved on. AI is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a direct response to how people now choose to discover, question, and buy. Our conversation turns to the gap between customer expectations and the experiences they receive. Peter discusses why brands often struggle to integrate channels, data, and AI coherently. He explains how first party data has become the anchor for any serious AI strategy, why generic public models cannot solve brand-specific tasks, and why the most successful teams start with simple, tightly scoped problems. A password reset may not sound glamorous, yet it is the kind of focused use case that teaches teams how to govern data, automate safely, and build confidence in the process. We also spend time on branded calling, RCS, and the evolution of voice. Peter breaks down what modern messaging now looks like and why trust sits at the center of every interaction. His explanation of Conversational Relay shows why natural voice exchanges finally feel within reach after years of frustration with rigid IVR systems. The thread running through all of this is clear. Consumers want speed and clarity, but they want reassurance too, and brands need to honor both sides of that equation. Later in the conversation, Peter makes one of the episode's most compelling points. Brand visibility has become harder, not easier, because much of the early research now occurs within AI tools. Buyers form opinions long before they speak with a sales rep. That shift explains why so many B2B companies are returning to high-impact brand channels, whether that is F1 sponsorships or other standout moments that keep them in the initial consideration set. We close with the topic that Peter believes will define the next stage of enterprise AI. Model Context Protocol. MCP has emerged as a quiet breakthrough, enabling LLMs to access data across CRM systems, files, and other software through a standard protocol. This removes one of the biggest blockers in AI projects: the practical challenge of connecting disparate data to a model built for a specific purpose. As Peter puts it, MCP gives companies a realistic way to make the special-purpose models that deliver reliable ROI. It is a wide-ranging conversation shaped by SIGNAL London's announcements, the evolving customer journey, and a year in which AI moved from curiosity to expectation. I would love to know what part stood out most to you. Are you seeing the same shifts Peter describes in your own business, and how are you preparing for the year ahead?

In Part 2 of our interview with Dusty Gulleson, CEO of eResources, we explore how value-driven project discovery helps teams make better decisions, prevent waste, and build software that actually supports the business. Dusty goes deep into prioritization, budgeting, revenue-generating processes, and why discovery is essential for steering both startups and large enterprises toward meaningful outcomes. About Dusty Gulleson Dusty Gulleson is a founder who never set out to build a large company—he simply followed the work, served people well, and let loyalty drive the growth. After leaving a COO role that didn't fit, he waited tables, picked up freelance web projects, and gradually built what is now eResources, a 100+ person organization spanning strategy, branding, IT services, cybersecurity, SaaS automation, and offshore teams. Born in Indonesia and now leading four thriving divisions, Dusty has grown the company without hype or outside funding, relying instead on relationships, trust, and consistent delivery. With five acquisitions under his belt and recurring revenue across industries like housing, higher education, and public health, his leadership philosophy centers on people, clarity, and service. Whether in a boardroom or a bourbon tasting room, Dusty approaches every conversation with the same question: "Where do you want to go, and how can we help?" Why Value-Driven Project Discovery Matters Many organizations want to move fast, but not necessarily in the right direction. Dusty explains that teams often fixate on long feature lists instead of business value. Value-driven project discovery flips that conversation by asking: What outcome are you trying to achieve? This shift helps clients focus on what matters most instead of chasing nice-to-have ideas. "Everyone's looking at the finish line, but no one is asking what the starting line really looks like." Using Value-Driven Project Discovery to Find True Priorities Dusty combines the 80/20 rule with the MoSCoW method to identify what the project truly needs at launch. Clients frequently bring big ideas, but through value-driven project discovery, his team uncovers the 20% that delivers 80% of the impact. The Must-Haves rise to the top naturally when tied back to real outcomes. Cutting Through Data Bloat One recurring obstacle is data collection bloat—requests to capture everything "just in case." Dusty highlights how the value-driven approach clears away unnecessary data points so teams can focus on action-driving information. This reduces complexity, speeds delivery, and saves money. Budget Reality Checks Dusty emphasizes that constraints are real and useful. Budgets shape scope, timelines, and phases. Instead of forcing everything into a fixed number, focusing on value helps teams see what is truly feasible. Often, clients don't understand how misaligned their vision and budget are until the story is mapped out clearly. Identifying Golden Processes Using Value-Driven Project Discovery Golden processes—the steps that generate revenue or sustain the business—are central to prioritization. During value-driven project discovery, Dusty helps clients identify the processes that keep the company moving. Once those are defined, secondary ideas naturally fall into later phases. "Your golden processes determine where the first dollars must go." Value-Driven Project Discovery and the Chapter-One Mindset Big visions don't require big bang releases. Dusty encourages a chapter-one approach: start small, deliver one valuable win, and build momentum. A $100 improvement today may pave the way for a $1,000 investment tomorrow. This phased approach reduces risk and increases adoption. Applying Value-Driven Project Discovery to Grow Without VC Funding Dusty's entrepreneurial journey is a testimony to value-driven thinking. He grew his company to 100+ employees without venture capital—using time, grit, SBA vehicles, and strategically acquired businesses. Value-driven helps guide decisions about where to invest and when to scale. Overcoming Crisis Through Value-Driven Project Discovery During the 2008 financial crisis, Dusty leaned heavily on value-first thinking. Cash froze, clients paused payments, and vendors struggled. Instead of panicking, he relied on relationships, transparency, and careful evaluation of what mattered most. Value-driven project discovery helped him make decisions grounded in clarity rather than fear. How Value-Driven Project Discovery Builds Better Relationships At its core, discovery is a relationship-building exercise. Clients don't just need developers—they need partners who understand their story, their challenges, and their business realities. Dusty reminds us that consulting is as much about people and process as it is about technology. Lessons for Founders Dusty closes with important advice for new founders: learn to talk to people, listen with empathy, and understand their story. Tools and platforms matter, but only after you fully grasp the problem. "People want to be heard. When they're heard, you can actually solve their problem."

Rising Above: From Runaway Kid to Green Beret, Cop, and Creator This week's Team Never Quit episode brings you a raw, unfiltered, and deeply inspiring conversation with Sean Rogers - a man who has lived several lifetimes' worth of adversity, discipline, transformation, and impact. From a desert town to the global stage, Rogers' story is one of resilience forged under pressure. Born in California and raised in Phelan, his early years were marked by chaos and instability. After running away from home as a teenager, he refused to let hardship dictate his future. He finished high school on his own terms and made the bold choice to enlist in the military, setting into motion a journey that would change everything. While on active duty, Sean began his formal education and pushed himself academically with the same intensity he brought to training. He earned a master's degree in organizational leadership—all while pursuing the grueling path to become a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret. Two deployments later, he transitioned to a new mission: serving his community as a police officer. What he witnessed on the streets during the riots following the death of George Floyd would reshape his understanding of leadership, culture, communication, and human behavior. But Sean's story didn't stop there. Driven to help the next generation of warriors, he founded The FNG Academy, an online platform designed to prepare aspiring Special Forces candidates for the mental, physical, and emotional challenges of selection. What started as a simple resource has grown into a thriving YouTube community, a robust online store, and a dedicated team committed to equipping others to step into their potential with confidence. He later chronicled his incredible life journey in his autobiography, Rising Above, a book that captures the honesty, grit, and self-discovery that have shaped his path. Sean Rogers embodies what it means to overcome circumstances, own your story, and turn pain into purpose. Whether you're chasing personal growth, preparing for a demanding path, or simply looking for motivation to push through your own challenges, this is an episode you won't want to miss. In this episode you will hear: • Recently, I finally figured out that God is what I needed to be chasing. (5:27) • I got a Master's Degree. I ran marathons. I ran ultra marathons. Trying to fill that void. I got Special Forces; I went police officer. Everything I thought would help – none of it helped. (6:49) • They develop this fear in you that if you get found out by CPS, you're gonna get separated from your siblings. So, you start learning how to hide what's going on at home. (11:06) • I used to run away constantly – to all my family member's houses, and the cops would go get me and bring me back. (18:03) • [I wanted to die] I had one of two directions to go: either get worse, and then she's gonna look back one day and say she made the right decision, or I can get better and I can look back one day and say that was the best thing that ever happened to me. (38:59) • I had to make a decision. I don't want this to define me that someone got to choose my fate. (39:53) • If I can't get my act together enough to follow through on a plan, maybe the Army will be the place where they will let me be kinda wild and refine me a little bit. (44:56) • At 67:12 to 70:30, Sean speaks about an awful mistake he made in a gunfight. • Writing books. Of all the things I've done, I've hated that the worst. (78:00) • I trust people that talk about God now. A lot of SF guys idolize. We say “Look at me.” (78:06) • What stoked my fire with God was the show “Chosen.” (80:29) • I'm claiming to be Christian, and I don't even know how cool Jesus is. (80:57) • At some point you have to say. “I'm buckling down, this is where God wants me. I'm here – thick or thin, and we're gonna get through this.” (104:52) • [Marcus] from 0-40 it's an opinion; 40-60 it's perspective; and 60+ is wisdom. • Self-help books are broken people talking to broken people to give you some temporary encouragement. Treat them as what they are.

What happens when a modular construction company leads with people first? Jon Scott of Creative Modular Construction joins the show to share how their motto—“We build people. We build buildings.”—is more than a slogan; it's the engine behind their remarkable growth. Jon walks through how CMC develops leaders on the shop floor, supports individuals from all backgrounds, and creates a culture where trust, purpose, and personal transformation translate directly into performance. We also discuss how CMC's people-first mindset has made it easier to adopt new processes and technologies (like Strucsoft) as they scale, blending craftsmanship, innovation, and culture into a resilient modular workflow. You'll Learn: How CMC builds a people-first culture that drives productivity and retention • Why investing in personal growth leads to stronger teams and better outcomes • How trust and purpose accelerate technology adoption and process improvements • What culture-building looks like in a fast-paced modular fabrication environment • How CMC is evolving its workflows as it scales its modular operations A powerful episode for anyone interested in modular construction, leadership development, or building high-performing teams through culture. MEET OUR GUEST Jonathan Scott serves as the Lead Draftsman at Creative Modular Construction, where he oversees the design and drafting behind a wide range of modular building projects. With a deep understanding of construction, engineering coordination, and practical field needs, Jonathan is the bridge between imagination and execution—translating concepts into clear, buildable plans that crews can trust. He's passionate about improving processes, solving complex layout challenges, and helping push the modular industry forward through smarter design. Outside of work, Jonathan enjoys life with his family and doing outreach in his community, and brings a grounded, faith-driven perspective to both his personal and professional life. TODD TAKES Building People Builds Performance CMC's commitment to “building people” isn't just a cultural slogan—it's a strategic advantage. When you invest in purpose, stability, and real community, people show up differently. They're engaged, they grow, and the work improves. Culture isn't an add-on for them; it's the engine behind everything they do. Trust Is the Foundation of Tech Adoption Introducing new tools like Strucsoft can be uncomfortable, but CMC's people leaned in because they trust the leadership guiding those decisions. That trust removes friction and accelerates adoption. When your team believes you're making choices that truly help them, change becomes something they embrace—not resist. When Purpose Meets Technology, Growth Takes Off The jump from producing two buildings in three days to three buildings in a single day is incredible. It's what happens when a clear mission, a supportive culture, and the right digital tools align. CMC shows that innovation isn't just about software—it's about creating a system where people and technology elevate each other.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

Are you making your days count? Is triathlon your fuel for life or is life your fuel for triathlon? It's easy to put too much pressure on ourselves with a precise target, but the truth is, going inward and staying the course will take care of most of it. We owe it to ourselves to get the most out of triathlon and life but only have so much bandwidth to always be in "chase mode." Today we look at ways to pull back the external and focus more on making real, internal improvements, which ultimately lead to long term satisfaction and real growth.
