I'll take unlikely pitchers to strike out Shohei Ohtani for 200 please. We let Sally Jenkins and Jake Mintz take the lead on the “permanent ends when you're dead” rant re Pete and the other formerly permanently ineligibles. Will Andy Pages be the player that gets Pottymouth to manage her fantasy team more closely? Maybe! Patti's team is again short a 3rd baseman but the math is working out. PCA's newest stats are rivaling those of the new Pope for Chicago-based excitement. We thought the BOS gag was going to be Who's On First but it turned out to be who is in the outfield because the new City Connects are Fenway camo for the guys near the wall. Kudos to the second place finisher in a Maine high school track event for calling out Rep. Laurel Libby as a bully for “maligning” the trans-identified athlete who won the event. And we crosstrain with ornithology because even after Brandon Hyde got fired only one kind of oriole is fun to watch right now.We say, “I wanna piggyback on the joy,” “who wouldn't want to swing a rainbow banner?” and “I hate it when drag queens make me cry.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Jared Dean isn't winging it — he's a master HVAC sales tactician. With over two decades in the industry, Jared has developed a precise, proven process that earns trust, overcomes objections, and closes premium HVAC systems at a staggering $25K average ticket with a 64% closing percentage. Jared works just three days a week in the field, serves full-time as a pastor, and still sold $3.5 million last year. In this conversation, he opens up his playbook — step by step. What you'll walk away with: The first 10 minutes that make or break the sale — Jared's subtle script to uncover decision-makers and secure time commitment without pressure. How to “price-condition” like a pro — Set the stage for high-ticket HVAC sales without triggering objections. The four-option close that boosts average ticket and drives confident, fast decisions. How storytelling + strategic vulnerability generate instant trust (and eliminate hard closing). What to say after they say “yes” — Jared's post-sale move that slashes cancellation rates. The 5-minute habit that separates amateurs from elite sales pros — and accelerates long-term mastery. Jared proves you don't need to work 60-hour weeks or be a natural-born closer to dominate in residential HVAC sales — you need a system, heart, and the discipline to follow through.

In this powerful episode of The Successful Contractor, host Bob Houchin sits down with retiring coach, trainer, and mentor Michael Zeller — a man who's impacted thousands of lives through his 40-year career in business, leadership, and service. This isn't just a retrospective. It's a masterclass in life and business. From growing up in a working-class Long Island family to building a body shop, scaling through Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and eventually becoming one of the most beloved coaches at CertainPath, Michael shares the pivotal moments, lessons learned, and wisdom earned through decades of doing the hard work — and helping others do it better. This conversation is filled with emotion, honesty, and insight that every contractor — from business owner to technician — needs to hear. In this episode, you'll learn:· The values Michael's parents instilled that shaped his lifelong work ethic· Why he walked away from his own business to take a trainee position — and never looked back· The power of staying humble and becoming a student, even after success· What makes a great manager — and why most owners get it wrong· The true reason great employees leave… and what to do to keep them· How to coach your team instead of bossing them around· The “cotton candy” of Michael's career — and what lights him up· Why your team needs opportunity — and how giving it builds loyalty Michael's story is full of teachable moments, humor, and heart. If you've ever struggled with leadership, building culture, or wondering if you're really making a difference, this episode is for you. It's not just a farewell. It's a roadmap. And it's one you'll want to revisit again and again. “We love you, Michael, and there's nothing you can do about it.” Watch the full interview now on The Successful Contractor YouTube channel.

Master electricians Clay Newmeyer and Joseph Lukini are revolutionizing how electrical contractors approach business with their podcast and coaching program Electricpreneur Secrets. Through their captivating personal stories of overcoming adversity, they reveal why electrical contractors struggle to grow despite technical expertise.Clay shares his journey from losing everything in a failed concrete business to building successful electrical operations, while Joseph's remarkable transformation from "the worst salesperson" struggling with undiagnosed autism to achieving $1.3 million in annual service from a single van demonstrates the power of their methodology. Their candid conversation reveals why the electrical trade has been underserved by traditional business coaching that caters primarily to HVAC and plumbing contractors.The duo tackles the epidemic of "self-objection" in electrical contracting—where technicians undervalue their services based on misconceptions rather than business sustainability. They offer practical strategies for communicating technical information in customer-friendly language, transforming technical jargon like "to code" into meaningful concepts like "modern safety standards" that homeowners can appreciate.Perhaps most valuable is their innovative approach to service calls, beginning at the electrical panel rather than rushing to the reported problem. This methodology creates opportunities for education while identifying potential issues beyond the initial complaint. By offering multiple options from basic repairs to premium solutions, electricians can respect customer choice while maximizing both satisfaction and business outcomes.What makes their approach particularly refreshing is their emphasis on truly serving customers rather than just making sales. As they powerfully argue, one of the most "salesy" things an electrician can do is fix just one problem when a home needs multiple electrical improvements—a perspective that flips traditional selling anxiety on its head.Ready to transform your electrical business? Check out the Electricpreneur podcast on all major platforms and join their Facebook group for daily live training sessions that are helping contractors nationwide master sales, simplify pricing, and deliver premium service.
