A quiet school night turns strange when an 11-year-old locks himself in the bathroom, crying that something stomped up behind him. In the mirror, he sees a figure—pure white, human-shaped, with horns and a star on its chest. Weeks earlier, the lights in that same room cut out for a full ten seconds. Coincidence—or the first warning? His mom believes him, keeps him calm, and starts looking for answers while trying not to plant scarier ones. Next, we head to a Wisconsin basement where two siblings test their nerves: moving shadows, a whispered “no” captured on an EVP app, drained flashlights, and a long night of invisible taps to the face—while the dog sleeps in another room and every normal explanation falls apart. Then a dream that feels too real: a listener bitten in a nightmare, followed by four crows standing silent in the road the next morning. Bad dream and weird birds—or a message that showed up twice?

In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, Chris and Anne discussed: Amazon's push to add mainstream brands like Pepsi and Doritos to Whole Foods through ShopBots and Amazon Grocery kiosks (Source: Wall Street Journal) Starbucks crossing the $1 billion milestone in annual delivery sales with 30% quarterly growth (Source: CNBC) Mondelez investing $40 million in a generative AI tool to slash marketing costs by 30-50% (Source: Reuters) Kroger expanding its Uber Eats partnership to integrate restaurant delivery directly into the Kroger app across 2,600+ stores (Source: Chain Store Age) Grubhub partnering with Instacart to offer grocery delivery through its platform nationwide (Source: Supermarket News) And this month, Chris and Anne handed out the OmniStar Award in partnership with Quorso to Justin Weinstein, EVP and Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer at Giant Eagle, for leading the 95-year-old retailer's bold $100 million "Because It Matters" brand positioning. There's all that, plus a debate on whether AI-generated ads are the future, why ordering dinner through your grocery app makes perfect sense, and whether hand massages would get Chris into John Lewis for holiday shopping.

In the second episode in our three part series titled: Focus. Build. Win, I sit down with James Derby, EVP of Merchant Facing Product at Payroc, to unpack how a core product strategy transformed scattered tools into a focused growth engine for partners and merchants. Instead of mastering dozens of third‑party options, the team picked a few products to go deep on, built vertical features that matter, and tightened the feedback loop from sales floor to roadmap.James walks through Roc Terminal+ for broad processing needs, Roc Giving for nonprofits, and Roc Services for field service teams, including a new scheduling component aimed at competing upmarket. The thread tying it all together is software-led sales: lead with the operational win and let payments follow. That shift brings faster deployments, better support, and real economics for ISOs and agents, with an 8–11% margin lift on new core placements and lower attrition as support improves. Owning the gateway and settlement stack gives Payroc the control to integrate acquisitions, standardize security, and ship features at speed without vendor drag.We also get into the commercialization playbook: building a business case with sales input, targeting underserved MCCs, choosing build vs. white label, and running disciplined pilots before GA. Post‑launch, James emphasizes data, not vibes - tracking adoption, revenue, support quality, and direct merchant feedback to keep product-market fit tight. Looking forward, tap to pay continues to rise, standalone terminals slowly recede, and consolidation among large processors creates room for agile teams that ship vertical SaaS with integrated payments.If you care about turning product focus into partner success, this conversation delivers practical detail you can use.
We talk about our investigation at 417 Tap House. This was the very first time we have had members see a full body of person who was not in the room. You will hear EVP's from our investigation. We have a ton of EVP's from that night and talk about this very active location. This was our very first day investigation. We wondered if we would catch anything during the day.

10/31/25: GHOSTING IN THE FAR FRIGHT LANE W/ ANTHONY F. SANCHEZ Throughout history, we have had a preoccupation with contacting entities behind the etheric veil. Today, we have advanced technologies that can pierce into ghostly dimensions with great accuracy. This phenomenon, known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) has sparked a movement of paranormal investigators who believe they can capture spirit voices using various recording devices. The electronic world seems to be manipulated by the ghosts in the machine. Through our insatiable desire to communicate with those on the other side, we can hear the vocal expressions of the dead. Our guest tonight is Software developer Anthony F. Sanchez, who has developed a state-of-the-art ghost app - The SCD Archon. https://ghosthunterapps.com/ Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

Typical Skeptic Podcast #2270 — Halloween Open Panel (Live)
Text us a pool question!In this bone-chilling Halloween episode, host Rudy Stankowitz dives headfirst into the haunted side of the pool world—where the ripples in the water might not be from your circulation pump. Beneath the calm shimmer of moonlit pools lies a darker current: ghost stories soaked in chlorine and mystery.Rudy takes listeners on a guided ghost tour through some of the most notoriously haunted swimming pools on Earth—the Queen Mary's first-class plunge, McCarren Park Pool's eerie echoes, The Rave's waterlogged concert hall in Milwaukee, and the Baker Hotel's decaying spa in Mineral Wells, Texas. Each haunted tale blends the supernatural with the mechanical—the hiss of an old centrifugal pump, the slow groan of a corroded valve, and the whisper of gravity-fed drains that might still be pulling something from the other side.But before the goosebumps get too deep, Rudy grounds the chills in cold, hard chemistry. He pulls back the cover on one of the pool world's biggest myths—the “10x rule” for breakpoint chlorination—and exposes why the dosing instructions printed on your calcium hypochlorite bucket might be dead wrong. You'll learn the truth about shocking a pool: when it's needed, when it's not, and how misreading combined chlorine levels can turn your wallet into the real victim.Then, things get even stranger. A listener calls in with a question about Jack's Magic products that takes an unexpected turn. Rudy shares his latest paranormal investigation findings—because of course he's the only guy who can go from breakpoint chlorination to EVP recordings without missing a beat. Add in the PHTA's latest initiative to help member businesses, and wrap it all up with a ghost story that'll have every pool pro double-checking their filter room after dark.From haunted hydraulics to myth-busting chemistry, this episode proves one thing: in the pool world, even the dead don't always rest at the bottom.Highlights:

Send us a textWhat if rural hospitals could thrive instead of just survive?In this episode of CareTalk Executive Features, WVU Medicine President & CEO Albert L.

At the Crexendo UGM, Tim Wilbourn, Senior Vice President of Support and Customer Success at Crexendo, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss Crexendo's customer-first culture, the growing role of AI across communications, and the ongoing challenges — and opportunities — presented by 10DLC compliance. Wilbourn oversees Crexendo's customer support, managed services, and professional services teams, as well as its retail platform, giving him a unique vantage point across the company's ecosystem. “I have the pleasure of serving the community from every angle of customer success — hosted support, managed services, and direct platform management,” he said. “The best part is that I experience the same challenges our partners do, which helps us make meaningful improvements.” A central theme at this year's event, Wilbourn noted, was “AI everything.” From receptionist automation to transcription, call routing, and analytics, Crexendo partners are eager to implement AI-driven enhancements. “Everybody wants AI and they want it now,” he said. “But the key question is what do they want it to do, and how quickly can they deploy it?” Wilbourn's goal is to bring those solutions to life within the Crexendo VIP platform by integrating the event's showcased vendor technologies into live, real-world use cases. Turning to 10DLC compliance, Wilbourn described the rollout as “a bit of a fiasco” for the industry — though one that now represents a major opportunity for service providers. “Change is scary, and 10DLC caught a lot of the industry by surprise,” he explained. “We're seeing partners hesitant to sell SMS because of the complexity of registration and fear of noncompliance.” He emphasized that the potential fines for violations — sometimes thousands of dollars per message — can be intimidating, leading some providers to delay adoption. To address this, Crexendo is working closely with EVP partners and messaging providers such as Autom8ly, Textable, and Cinch to simplify compliance through automation and education. “Our goal is to take away the fear,” Wilbourn said. “No one wants to work with tools they don't understand. If we make it cleaner, faster, and more reliable, adoption will follow.” Wilbourn also sees these compliance challenges as a way for MSPs and resellers to deepen customer relationships. “Problems are opportunities,” he said. “If we can make 10DLC and other compliance requirements easier, our partners become heroes to their customers.” Crexendo's strategy remains focused on proactive support and continuous improvement. “We're resolving tickets faster, improving quality, and raising satisfaction scores,” Wilbourn noted. “The quote of the week? ‘Getting better.' And that's what we intend to keep doing — better every day.” To learn more about Crexendo's customer success initiatives and partner ecosystem, visit crexendo.com.

At the Crexendo UGM, Jeff Korn, CEO of Crexendo, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, about the company's record growth, customer-first philosophy, and expanding global capabilities. The conversation took place at the historic Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach — a fitting venue for a company celebrating both legacy and innovation. The event marked a major milestone as Crexendo approached (and soon after surpassed) seven million users, underscoring its status as one of the fastest-growing platform providers in the communications industry. “We're the fastest-growing platform provider in the country,” Korn said. “Our growth is driven by the best people, products, and service in the industry — bar none.” Korn attributes much of the company's success to its “sessions, not seats” pricing model, which allows partners to pay only for what is actually used — a flexibility especially valuable in large environments such as hospitality. “Our model provides real value,” he explained. “If your phones aren't in use, you're not paying for idle capacity. It's simple, fair, and efficient.” Beyond its pricing innovation, Crexendo continues to invest heavily in open APIs and its EVP program, a new company store where licensees and developers can access or offer third-party applications to customize and extend the NetSapiens platform. “We're giving our partners limitless possibilities to differentiate,” Korn said. “It's an ecosystem that keeps growing every year — just look at the number of vendors and integrations showcased here at the UGM.” Korn also highlighted the company's global expansion powered by its partnership with Oracle Cloud. “We can now turn up an instance in one or two days and meet data sovereignty requirements anywhere in the world,” he said. “That capability has already enabled us to serve customers in regions like Africa — and we're just getting started.” At the heart of Crexendo's success, Korn emphasized, is a commitment to service and community. “We are a company of service,” he said. “We listen, we act, and we care about every one of our licensees. Our success is built on their success.” To learn more about Crexendo's UCaaS and NetSapiens platform solutions, visit www.crexendo.com.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #240 Buz Mills Gunsite Academy, Owner NRA BOD I met Buz Mills in passing NRA AM a few years ago. I felt a little in awe knowing he owns Gunsite Academy, the world's premier civilian training school started by the late, great Jeff Cooper. This year at NRA AM, I found myself at a dinner and was introduced to him again. I'm honored that he was able to take time during the very busy weekend to give me an hour. I've been a fan of Cooper and his books since I became a gun owner so I was excited to take with someone else that has a connection to him. The ultimate question was "when am I coming to Gunsite?" Before we kicked off the show, we spent about 15 minutes just talking in the car. He's got amazing stories to tell and I was able to get some of them on video. Buz grew up in the era where everyone shot, hunted and took their .22 rifles to school. After school, if he didn't shoot any small game, dinner was going to be vegetable soup. He learned to shoot in the Boy Scouts and participated in the postal matches through the NRA. As a kid, he was able to cash in empty soda bottles for .22 ammunition. There wasn't ammo for misses. Back in the 1970's, Buz was in sales and worked with electronics and cell phones. He said he's not a fortune teller, but just an observer, telling people that one day, we'd have one number attached to us (our cell phone). He got out of that business in 1999 when he purchased Gunsite. Buz met Cooper in 1980 and was a "frequent flyer" at Gunsite. Next year is Gunsite's 50th anniversary. They have lots of classes to offer. Besides pistol, carbine, rifle, and shotgun, there are tactical courses, knife courses, responding to active shooter courses, and just about anything you can think you'd need. Probably more than you can think of. This year, they've been building a fifth new building in five years. Since he bought the business back in 1999, it's grown from 165 acres to over 3,200 acres! You can tell that Buz breathes the Second Amendment and the NRA. We talked a lot about the goings on at NRA when we filmed at NRA AM in April 2025. The NRA was formed to teach the North how to shoot after the Civil War. With the passing of the Gun Control Act of 1968, the NRA got more involved in politics. Having been on the NRA BOD for a few terms, Buz saw that what they were doing was a textbook version of how to "chase your members" away. Particularly, at the members meeting, if someone spoke out, the Board would shut that person down. This tactic chased off about 40% of the membership, according to him. Mills and a handful of others have been working hard to get the "Reformers" on the board. Last year, about 75% of those elected were Reformers. This year, there's more of them on the ballot. The BOD does need a variety of members with a wide swath of skills, including people who run successful businesses who can handle the business of the NRA. The NRA is working to get back to some of the things that made it what it was, which is training and education. They also want to increase membership. The Association has been around for over 150 years and needs to be around for another 150 years. It is going to take some time to right the ship as it took time for it to go in the wrong direction. There's a lot of NRA talk in the show. About Doug Hamlin becoming the EVP and his history with the NRA. About getting rid of some of the law firms that were hired for cases. About finding out how the NRA looks for replacements and knows that someone has a 12 month contract to make changes, knowing that it will take more time to make the changes. Buz shared a lot of wisdom he's acquired over the years being in the firearms community and running a successful business. Between Gunsite and NRA, he's a very busy and well respected man. And he keeps asking me "when am I coming to Gunsite?" Favorite quotes: "Gunsite is the oldest and largest privately owned tactical firearms training facility in the world." "I'm not a fortune teller; I'm just an observer." "America wouldn't be what it is today without the NRA." "All that's behind us. That's all behind us. No more lawyers, No more lawsuits. "I have never been to a class that I didn't learn something positive that I can put in my toolbox."

She details the promise of Enhertu and Datopotamab, AstraZeneca’s antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and how their work may transform cancer treatment in curative settings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some hauntings scream for attention. Others linger so long they become part of the wallpaper. It began innocently enough: a new house, two young daughters, and an imaginary friend named Shawn—a boy her four-year-old claimed to see every night at the foot of her bed. But when toys began to slide across the floor, drawers slammed shut on their own, and footsteps echoed in empty rooms, it became clear Shawn wasn't just a child's game. Friends stopped visiting after glimpsing a tall dark figure in the upstairs hall. Even a local ghost-hunting team —armed with cameras, EVP recorders, and experience—fled after one night, leaving behind a single chilling photo of a glowing orb clinging to the basement ceiling. Another lost photo, captured in daylight, showed a gray, child-sized figure standing behind her daughter during a birthday party. The activity never really stopped: lights flicker, toys burst into song on their own, TVs turn off and on, and at 3 A.M. a presence often wakes the eldest daughter—sometimes lowering to one knee beside her bed as if keeping vigil. This is more than a haunting; it's a story of endurance in a home that feels alive. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ShawnTheGhost #HauntedHouse #3AMHaunting #ParanormalActivity #GhostHunters #CreepyTrueStory #SupernaturalEncounters #UnseenPresence #HauntedFamily #TerrifyingHaunting Love real ghost stories?

A CMO Confidential Interview with Abhay Parasnis, Founder & CEO of Typeface, Board Member of Dropbox and Schneider Electronic, formerly EVP of Adobe. Abhay discusses the large gap between AI expectations and execution, the human and cultural issues in the way of adoption, and the C-Suite's responsibility to "guide the change" versus demand and monitor progress. Key topics include: recognizing and managing the 3 types of resistance; why specific targeted use cases are the best way to begin; the difference between Moore's Law and Amara's Law; and how to determine if you are a resistor or a pragmatic business leader. Tune in to hear an analogy of why AI is similar to Formula One where everyone has a powerful vehicle and winning is driven by how teams master and manage that power. AI is the biggest shift of our careers—but most companies are stuck at the “cool demo” stage. In this episode, former Adobe CTO/CPO and Typeface founder/CEO Abhay Parasnis joins Mike Linton to unpack the AI cold start problem: how to move from experiments to enterprise impact. We cover where the C-suite is pushing, why practitioners are hesitating, and how to design lighthouse wins that change the org—not just the deck.Abhay shares hard numbers (a 93% lift from email personalization in 120 days), why “watermelon metrics” derail programs, and the new reality that as agents/bots consume more content, your brand narrative must be built for machines and humans. We dig into the accountability shift from agencies to in-house teams, how to evaluate vendors without boiling the ocean, and the culture moves leaders need to close the gap between ambition and adoption.What you'll learnA practical AI playbook: pick one revenue-adjacent use case, rewire the process, measure before/after, then scaleHow to align the board, C-suite, and operators to avoid “innovation theater”Where AI drives top-line growth vs. simple cost takeout—and how to prove itSpotting resistance (job loss fears, “new thing” fatigue, agency incentives) and converting it into momentumThe right vendor questions (and red flags) to separate sizzle from outcomesWhy authenticity, governance, and legal guardrails must ship with your AI stackAbout AbhayFounder & CEO of Typeface (AI-powered personalized marketing).
