Choosing the right equipment for your puppy can make all the difference between smooth, confidence-building training and a daily struggle with slips, stalls, or stress. In this episode, we break down how to select the best harnesses, collars, and leashes for your puppy's size, breed, and temperament—because what works for a bold Labrador pup may be very different from what a tiny, sensitive toy breed needs.You'll learn how to introduce new equipment gently so your puppy associates gear with comfort and fun, not fear or frustration. We also spotlight the most common mistakes puppy owners make—like relying on poorly fitted gear or switching tools too late—and how to avoid them. Finally, we walk you through transitioning equipment as your puppy grows, ensuring safety, comfort, and continued training progress at every stage.Whether you're bringing home your first pup or refining your setup for a growing canine companion, this episode gives you practical, trainer-backed guidance to set you both up for success.My Favorite Products Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!

In this episode, we finally dig into the tyre-testing project that quietly consumed most of my year.Nine months, six tyre widths, hundreds of test runs, three road surfaces, four identical wheelsets, and far too many cold late-night tests than any sane person should attempt. But it was worth it.Today, Ronan is joined by John Buckley the founder of Streamlines Aero, the company behind the hardware and technical support so crucial to this testing. Together, we break down how the test protocol worked, why it's different, and why those differences matter. We also unpack the major findings: why pressure mattered more than width in this dataset, why some long-held assumptions didn't hold up in the real world, and how tyre temperature turned out to be one of the biggest and least appreciated variables affecting performance.This is just the beginning. Later in the episode we explain where our tyre testing goes from here and what to expect in the new year.

The fighting in Burma during the Second World War was among the most demanding of the entire conflict. Soldiers faced dense jungle, monsoon rains, disease, and a determined enemy — conditions that made the campaign both brutal and complex. Yet for decades, Burma remained one of the least remembered theatres of the war. The men who fought there — British, Indian, African, and Burmese — became known as the "Forgotten Armies." A new exhibition at the National Army Museum in London, Beyond Burma: Forgotten Armies, seeks to change that. It explores not only the campaign itself but also the wider human and political stories that emerged from the fighting in Southeast Asia. In this episode of the WW2 Podcast, I visit the museum to speak with Dr Alan Jeffreys, Head of Equipment and lead curator of Beyond Burma. We discuss the exhibition, its themes, and the challenge of bringing this complex history to life.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

This week's episode is perhaps a little more behind the scenes than most. Ronan tells Dave about his nine-month tyre-testing project and why he is now ready to actually test tyres. There's chat about the struggles in picking products for our favourite things lists. And you'll hear a conversation that involves a lot of cliches such as ‘you don't know what you don't know' and ‘listen to your bike and body'. Of course, there's a PSA, and somehow the conversation even turns to elephant asses. Oh yes, the Geeks cover some real ground in this one!Members of Escape Collective get all of that plus the Ask a Wrench segment (with pro mechanic Brad Copeland). It's a big segment this week with five questions answered, but like every other week, it's only available on the member-feed.

What if planting trees could be not just good for the planet, but also a profitable business? In this episode, I'm talking with Ben Dell, the founder and CEO of Chestnut Carbon — a company that's raised nearly $400 million, including $250 million of that in 2025, to turn farmland back into thriving native forests across the United States. And he's already forging major carbon removal deals with the likes of Microsoft and Mercedes F1. Ben's journey is a fascinating one: he began his career in oil and gas private equity, helping fossil-fuel companies optimize their operations. But during the pandemic, he had what you might call a carbon epiphany. Seeing how few trustworthy carbon-removal projects existed, he decided to create his own — one that would make measurable, verifiable, and permanent carbon storage not just possible, but investable. In our conversation, Ben explains why carbon is a commodity, and how to prove you've really stored it. He talks about how Chestnut buys up marginal cattle-grazed land and restores it into biodiverse forests — with already more than 17 million trees planted. And he goes over why he proudly calls Chestnut "conservation for profit" — a business model that needs no subsidies, just land, good science, and a lot of patience. Ben also talks about the challenges of scaling a nature-based startup, the importance of grit over glamour, and why he believes restoring forests can be one of America's most investable climate solutions. So if you've ever wondered how capitalism might actually reverse deforestation — not cause it — this episode will give you a hopeful, grounded look at what that future could look like. Discussed in this episode Ben is a managing partner at Kimmeridge. Business Insider profile and a Wall Street Journal profile on Ben's work. Our past episode with author Mike Grunwald. You can see Chestnut's patent, "Systems and methods for forest surveying," here. Chestnut's offtake partnership with Microsoft and a similar agreement with Mercedes F1. Ben recommends podcasts such as Lex Fridman's and Invest Like the Best. Get to Know Ben Dell Ben Dell is a Managing Partner of Kimmeridge and oversees investment activity across the firm. He is closely involved in the screening of new geological opportunities and in the negotiation and execution of investment strategies.  Prior to founding Kimmeridge, Mr. Dell was a Senior Equity Research Analyst for Oil and Gas Exploration and Production (E&P) at Sanford C. Bernstein, where he was ranked first three times in the Institutional Investor Research Survey for coverage of E&Ps. Mr. Dell was also ranked for Natural Gas and for Oil Services and Equipment coverage. Mr. Dell joined Sanford C. Bernstein in 2003. Prior to joining Bernstein, Mr. Dell was employed at British Petroleum (BP) in its M&A and finance group. Before moving into the finance field, Mr. Dell also held positions as an exploration geologist and geophysicist across several of BP's regional business units.  Mr. Dell is currently CEO of Chestnut Carbon, a nature-based carbon removal developer and is on the Board of Caturus HoldCo, LLC., a large private natural gas producer in South Texas.

In this comprehensive episode, Bryan and Roman dive deep into one of the most challenging topics in modern HVAC: making VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and ductless systems perform effectively in humid climates like Florida. The conversation tackles a common misconception that inverter-driven equipment automatically handles humidity well simply because it can "turn down." Roman emphasizes that successful application of VRF technology in humid environments requires skilled professionals who understand building science, envelope integrity, and proper system sizing. The biggest takeaway? If you're going to err on sizing, undersize rather than oversize - these systems will run longer and maintain better humidity control when properly sized. The hosts explore the three critical factors for dehumidification: runtime, coil temperature, and surface condensation. They explain how traditional inverter systems were programmed for energy efficiency by allowing coils to warm up as they approached the set point, which unfortunately sacrifices latent capacity. Modern systems with active dehumidification capabilities use expansion valve control to "starve" the coil, lowering saturation temperature to around 35-37 degrees while extending runtime. Roman shares his personal experience with a 7,000 BTU unit serving his 700 square foot master bedroom suite, demonstrating how proper application and understanding of equipment capabilities can deliver excellent humidity control without oversizing. The discussion takes a practical turn as Bryan presents a comprehensive troubleshooting checklist for humidity problems, starting with bulk water leaks and progressing through envelope integrity, duct sealing, equipment selection, and pressure balancing. They debunk common "solutions" that actually make problems worse, like adding attic insulation or solar attic fans without addressing root causes. The conversation reveals a counterintuitive truth: reducing sensible load through excessive insulation can worsen humidity problems by reducing equipment runtime. They explain why "active dehumidification" through overcooling isn't true dehumidification, and why another solution - reheat - requires adding sensible heat back to spaces to maintain longer equipment runtime. Topics Covered: VRF and inverter sizing misconceptions - Why undersizing is often better than oversizing in humid climates Three factors of dehumidification - Runtime, coil temperature, and surface condensation explained Active dehumidification technology - How expansion valve control creates longer runtime and colder coils Equipment capacity ratings - Understanding that a "12K" unit may actually perform at 18,000 BTU Latent vs. sensible capacity - Why checking engineering specifications is critical for humid climate applications VRT (Variable Refrigerant Temperature) - When this energy-saving feature should be disabled in humid climates Fan operation strategies - Why continuous fan operation can worsen humidity problems Duct and envelope leakage - How pressure imbalances drive moisture problems Surface condensation - Why vents and ducts sweat and how to prevent it The overcooling trap - Why lowering the set point creates interstitial space moisture problems Humidity sensors in thermostats - Understanding what they do (and don't do) Load diversity and zone control - How multiple smaller units can outperform single large systems Reheat strategies - From electric resistance to passive solar gain Common mistakes - Why attic insulation and solar fans often worsen humidity issues Troubleshooting checklist - A systematic approach from bulk water to equipment selection   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

End of the year creeping up on you?

Welcome back to another episode of Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I'm Marty, and today I want to talk about something a listener asked a few weeks ago. How does one choose a career, and more specifically, how do they end up in the light industrial, warehousing, and transportation fields.  One of the things I've learned over the decades is that very few people wake up at 18 years old and say, I'm going to be a forklift operator, or I'm going to build a career in a distribution center.  In my opinion most careers aren't chosen, they're found. They're shaped by our experiences, opportunities, influences, and sometimes just plain necessity.  But once people get here, once they get that first real taste of what this work is like, the stability, the opportunity, the teamwork, a lot of them stay. And that's what I'd like to talk about today.  Let's start with a simple truth: most people don't choose a career the way a high school guidance counselor might describe it. It's not a straight line.   It's often a mix of exposure, timing, skill, personality, and need.  Let me try and make that make sense. Many of us choose careers based on what we've seen growing up. If your parents, uncles, or neighbors worked in a warehouse or drove trucks, that's what you were exposed to. If your first job was unloading trucks at a retail store or working seasonal shifts for a local DC, that experience sticks with you. My father was president of a regional catalogue distribution center. From a young age I was exposed to the warehouse, all the inbound and outbound chaos and seeing all the equipment in action. I was in DECA in high school, my junior and senior years I went to school half a day and then off to work after that. Distributive Education Clubs of America was an eye opener for me and helped point me towards a work ethic I still hold today. Anyway, I digress a bit there. What was I talking about. Ok, I don't know where I was going, I think I wanted to mention my first jobs we're in a warehouse because I had an in to those distribution centers! All that's a story for another episode.    I think a lot of young people today enter this industry because a friend says, Hey, my place is hiring, or they hear that a local warehouse pays a few dollars more per hour than their retail job. That's what I mean by exposure.  You can't choose what you don't know exists.  Now, in our world, once someone takes that first general labor position or that first shift at loading trailers, something happens. They either realize it's not for them, or they say, You know what, I think I like this.  And that's often the moment their career begins, sometimes without them even realizing it.   Another major factor I mentioned earlier is need. Jobs are often chosen because someone needs a paycheck this week, not a degree three years from now. And that's one of the biggest advantages of the light industrial and warehousing world, it is accessible.  You don't need an ivy league education. You don't need months of training. A good staffing agency or warehouse can hire you, orient you, and get you earning a paycheck quickly in a week.  For someone supporting a family, or someone just starting out and needing to get on their feet, that's huge. A lot of careers begin because the industry said, we'll give you a chance right now.   People also lean into what they're naturally good at. Some people are hands-on workers. Some learn best by doing. Some have great attention to detail. Others thrive in louder, busier environments.  Warehousing fits a wide range of capabilities. If you like movement, there's selecting, loading, unloading. If you like operating equipment, there's forklift, rider pallet jacks, and PIT operation. If you're detail-oriented, there's inventory control and quality assurance. If you're a natural leader, there's a path from lead to supervisor to manager.  Many people choose this industry simply because they discover, sometimes accidentally  that the work fits who they are.  We sometimes forget that personality drives career choice as well. Some individuals do not want to sit at a desk. They don't want to be in customer service all day. They want to move, think, act, sweat, accomplish, and see their results.  Warehousing and transportation offer that. Every shift has a measurable outcome. Pallets moved. Trailers loaded. Orders filled. Goals hit or exceeded. For the right personality, that environment feels rewarding, even energizing.   And this might be the most important factor of all. A single person can completely influence someone's career path. Our mentors, even unknown mentors, have a lot more influence on us than we may realize. Maybe it was a supervisor who said, you'd be great on a forklift, let's get you trained. Maybe it was a lead who showed you how to wrap a pallet right and said, you're picking this up fast. Maybe it was a trainer who spent extra time showing you a safer way to work and said, I see potential in you, you'll be able to take my place one day. That's 3 true examples I experienced.  Those moments matter. They turn jobs into careers. They help people believe in themselves, sometimes for the first time.   And then let's be honest, sometimes people end up in a job simply because it was the easiest open door. They applied. They got hired. They started. And they stayed. And there's nothing wrong with that. Many long, successful careers begin by chance. But what matters is what happens after that first step.  So now, let's talk about why so many workers who enter this field end up staying and building entire careers here. There are a lot of reasons. Not everyone is meant for college. And not everyone wants it. Warehousing levels the playing field. You can start with a high school diploma, a GED, or just the willingness to learn. You don't need prior experience. You don't need certifications. You don't need years of training. If you show up consistently and work safely, the industry will teach you everything else. That opens doors for thousands of workers who want a real career but don't have access to college or technical schools or the time those commitments take to start earning.    One of the biggest advantages of our field is that advancement is based on performance, not the politics. A general laborer who works hard, shows up every day, and follows safety rules and procedures can move from position to position quickly. I see it all the time. General labor to Forklift operator, Forklift operator to Lead, Lead to Supervisor, Supervisor to Manager, and Manager to Operations leadership like Director or Vice president.   If you want to climb the ladder, the ladder is there, and it's real. I've seen people go from sweeping floors to running departments. I've even seen people go on to run entire facilities.  That's the beauty of this career path, you can grow as fast as your attitude and effort will carry you.  People sometimes think warehousing is just moving boxes. But as we've learned this last couple of quarters, this industry is incredibly diverse. There are roles in Equipment operation, Inventory control, Quality assurance, I should have made some notes here, what else, oh, Replenishment, Receiving, Shipping, Dispatch, Transportation, building Maintenance, and two of my favorites Safety, Training, many different Management positions, and even HR and recruiting.  The variety gives us workers options. We can grow sideways, upward, or into completely new areas, all within the same building. What other industry can give us all that!    And many entry-level associates discover quickly that general labor in a warehouse pays several dollars more per hour than retail or food service. Then they see the overtime opportunities. The shift premiums. And the potential bonuses. Suddenly, they're not just earning a paycheck, they're earning a living. I think this is one of the top reasons people stay. Warehousing and transportation reward productivity and effort. And that motivates workers to commit to the industry long-term. One of my opinions for free!   Some people need to feel accomplished. They want to look back at the end of the shift and say, everything is all wrapped up.  Warehousing gives them that. You see progress. You see results. You see the work you put in. You don't have to wonder if you made an impact, you can see it in the cases picked, pallets stacked, trailers loaded, and shift goals achieved. That sense of accomplishment always kept me coming back for the next shift.  And It's a Stable, Growing Industry Let's face it, the supply chain isn't going anywhere. Even during recessions, warehouses keep running. Even during pandemics, trucks keep moving. People always need, Food, home Products, Medications, and Supplies. And as e-commerce continues to grow, so does the demand for distribution centers, fulfillment centers, cross-docks, last-mile delivery, and transportation. Workers like stability. They like knowing their job will still be here tomorrow. Warehousing and the supply chain offers that.  And this industry teaches skills we can take anywhere, equipment operation, Safety practices, systems and RF scanners, Inventory processes, Quality checks, Time management, the importance of accuracy and Leadership and communication. These aren't just job skills, there our they're career skills. And once you have them, you're employable in almost any warehouse or distribution environment across the country.  Another thing I've always loved about the industry is how Warehouses are often 24/7 operations. That means people can choose shifts that work best for them and the family, mornings, afternoons, nights, weekends, or rotating even schedules. For young parents, students, or workers with second jobs, that flexibility can be a major advantage.  I feel, when you look at the big picture, people choose warehousing, light industrial, and transportation careers because they see opportunity. These industries offer that chance to start immediately, a chance to earn a good wage, the opportunity to grow fast and to learn valuable skills that can support our family and to build a long-term, stable career.  And the most important part? They provide it to anyone willing to work, show up, stay safe, and take pride in what they do. So, if you're new to this industry or you're just getting started, or if you're trying to find your path, know this. You don't have to have all the answers today. You don't need to have your life all figured out. You just need to start. Build skills. Learn. Ask questions. Show up. Stay safe. Take pride in your work.    As you know I could talk about operations all day, so I'll move on and say thanks for joining me today, and thanks for being part of an industry that keeps America running. Until next week, stay safe, stay focused, and keep building your career one shift at a time!

In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry breaks down some of the most common distractions chiropractors fall into when they are struggling, overwhelmed, or searching for the fast track to success. These distractions often look promising on the surface, but they rarely address the real issues holding a practice back. Jerry explains why these diversions are so tempting, how they derail progress, and what chiropractors should be focusing on instead if they want to build a stable and successful practice. The heart of the episode revolves around the idea that success in chiropractic is built on simple, consistent, and often boring fundamentals. When those fundamentals are missing, chiropractors become vulnerable to shiny objects that promise quick wins. These diversions can drain time, money, and energy while pushing the chiropractor further away from the work that actually helps them grow. Jerry outlines six major categories of distractions that repeatedly show up in conversations with struggling chiropractors. Each one is rooted in the desire to find an easier path than doing the foundational work, yet each one almost always leads to more frustration. Key Distractions Covered in This Episode • Online sales and affiliate marketing Chiropractors often hear that they can make "easy money" online by selling products, creating digital courses, or writing recommendation blogs with affiliate links. Jerry explains why this is almost never productive for a local chiropractor. Online selling requires an enormous amount of trust, attention, and audience size. Most chiropractors do not have the kind of influence necessary to make online sales meaningful. It becomes a detour away from patient care, community connection, and building a local business that people trust. • Selling their own expertise through high ticket coaching Big ticket coaching programs and personal expertise packages are frequently marketed as a shortcut to higher revenue. Chiropractors are told that it is just as easy to sell a three thousand dollar coaching package as it is to sell a three hundred dollar one. Jerry highlights why this mindset is problematic. Coaching is a completely different business that very few chiropractors are qualified for or prepared to run. High ticket selling might work for a rare few, but most chiropractors simply end up spending time building a business that distracts them from the practice they are trying to grow. • Special techniques and certifications Chiropractors who love technique can convince themselves that one more certification, one more seminar, or one more advanced system will finally unlock the success they want. Jerry reminds listeners that while additional training is valuable, it is almost never the reason a practice is struggling. Many mediocre chiropractors are successful in business, while many clinically gifted chiropractors struggle because they have not built strong habits, systems, or communication. Technique mastery is great, but it is not a substitute for running a strong business. • Special equipment and passive therapies There is always a new device, table, laser, or machine promising to increase revenue and attract new patients. Chiropractors imagine that if they could just finance the newest gadget, everything would finally click. Jerry emphasizes that expensive equipment does not fix traffic issues, retention issues, or communication issues. If a practice is unstable, adding more debt and more complexity makes the problem worse. Equipment can be helpful when it aligns with the practice model, but it is almost never the missing ingredient a struggling chiropractor thinks it is. • Obsessing over social media and trying to become an influencer Many chiropractors pour energy into going viral, creating endless reels, or chasing likes and followers. Social media feels productive, but it rarely translates into meaningful revenue for a local service business. Jerry shares examples of posts reaching millions of views without generating income. Social media can be a helpful tool for building trust and connection within a local community, but chasing fame is almost always a distraction that keeps chiropractors from focusing on patient care, reputation, and retention. • Evaluating success only by new patient numbers Chiropractors often judge their entire practice by how many new patients they see in a month. Jerry explains why this is a flawed metric when used in isolation. A practice with strong retention, follow through, reactivations, referrals, and good communication can thrive with modest new patient numbers. But a practice with a leaky bucket will always struggle no matter how many people enter the front door. Focusing only on new patients distracts chiropractors from fixing deeper issues in their systems and workflows. Core Themes From the Episode • Success in chiropractic is difficult and takes time. Anyone who claims it is easy is either lying or the rare exception. • Shiny objects distract chiropractors from the consistent habits and foundational systems that actually create long term stability. • Most frustrations stem from weak fundamentals such as poor onboarding, unclear communication, lack of follow up, and inconsistent routines. • The chiropractors who win are the ones who stop swinging for home runs and start accumulating base hits through steady effort and simple processes. • A year from now, your future self will thank you more for mastering fundamentals than for chasing shortcuts. What Chiropractors Should Focus On Instead • Clear communication and consistent recommendations • Strong onboarding and follow through • Building trust with patients and the local community • Basic marketing foundations such as Google visibility and a good website • Simple reactivation and referral processes • Becoming great at chiropractic instead of chasing external validation • Slow, steady, predictable habits that raise the floor of the practice over time This episode encourages chiropractors to step back, take an honest look at where their energy is going, and identify whether they have been pulled into distractions instead of building a stable foundation. The message is clear. Leave the shortcuts behind, recommit to the basics, and give yourself a year of focused effort. Most chiropractors are not one seminar, one machine, or one viral post away from success. They are one year of consistency away from stability.

Burro website: https://burro.ai/FoA 271: Ag Robotics Roundtable: https://futureofagriculture.com/episode/foa-271-ag-robotics-roundtableI'm really excited to share today's episode with you. Charlie Andersen is one of the most impressive and intelligent founders that I've had the chance to speak with. I can remember being blown away with him when he was a part of our Ag Robotics Roundtable which became episode 271 of this podcast clear back in 2021. Charlie co-founded Burro in 2017 and today they have over 600 systems running in the field, which is arguably the largest fleet of mobile robots running in an outdoor agricultural setting today. If you've never seen a Burro before, think about like a flat bed cart, for lack of better term. They are 5hp to 20hp autonomous vehicles that go up to 6.5 mph in speed. They can tow, haul things, mow, spray, and patrol all autonomously. They even can be used with a docking station to recharge themselves to run continuously. They are very cool, and uniquely designed to augment human labor rather than trying to fully replace it. Charlie grew up on a working fruit and vegetable farm and says he was obsessed with machinery as a kid. He went on to get an MBA at Harvard Business School and he founded Burro after working for CNH, where he reported to the head of the North American operating unit and worked on special projects across sales, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and autonomy M&A.

In a tech-launch heavy week, Suvi, Josh, and Alex have taken over the pod to chat about what was happening at the recent, season-ending Rouleur Live show, which led them to discuss the value of these cycling exhibitions a little more. To wrap things up, the team chatted through the – admittedly very off-road focused – new product launches from Nukeproof, Ritchey, Velocity USA, and Lazer. If you scroll past the show timestamps, we've also included a little Rouleur Live gallery there for you to browse. Timestamps:00:10 – Intro, and Suvi's Brompton skills04:49 – Rouleur Live: crowds, vibes & venue05:45 – Show tech highlights: Reap aero gravel bike & POC bags10:30 – What are trade shows even for now?15:00 – Industry networking, media value & meeting members20:39 – Nukeproof is back: new Reactor trail bike25:00 – Ritchey Septimer breakaway gravel bike32:00 – Tangent to talk about travel bikes vs hire vs bags39:44 – 32" wheels & the emerging 32er niche46:40 – New Lazer Impala: Dual Core trail helmet, helmet testing, MIPS rivals & Virginia Tech ratings55:00 – Outro

This final installment of the Orogenesis Dispatches series, which features host Josh Weinberg interviewing ultra endurance cyclist Kurt Refsnider, who has just completed the first full ride of the Orogenesis route – a massive backcountry mountain bike trail traversing the western U.S. from Canada to Mexico. The episode reflects on the full journey, covering logistics, experiences, highs and lows, and what's next.After riding for 72 of the past 82 days, Refsnider had just completed his ride and was enjoying some downtime before heading out again, this time to tackle Mexico's Baja Divide Trail. He detailed how, during his time following the Orogenesis route, he rode 3,130 miles (~5,000 km) and climbed nearly 413,000 ft (~126,000 m) of elevation across three states and a mix of singletrack (40%), pavement (10%), and a remainder or dirt tracks and Jeep roads.Looking back on the past three months, Refsnider talks of how the adventure was both a personal and collective effort. He experienced Orogenesis firsthand and tested what a purpose-built, bike-specific, transcontinental singletrack route feels like, while also demonstrating that the route “goes,” hopefully inspiring others to attempt it and validate the years of planning by the Orogenesis team. He also offers key highlights from the experience, lessons learned, and a deep dive into the gear he selected for the journey.
