Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode In this episode, Carm Capriotto reconnects with industry veteran Peter Rudloff to explore his transition from shop owner to consultant, his “stay in your lane” philosophy, and the future of EV repair. Rudloff shares how a 25-year exit plan allowed him to retire from shop ownership at 47 and transition into his home-based “Pete Cave,” where he continues hands-on work without managing employees. He later founded Rhino Collective LLC, helping manufacturers connect engineering with real-world repair. A central theme is specialization. By focusing on domestic and Asian vehicles and avoiding brands like BMW, Rudloff improved efficiency and profitability. He argues that staying within your strengths leads to “profit by default” and long-term stability. Looking ahead, he predicts EVs will dominate, and repair will shift toward modular, aircraft-style maintenance. He encourages new shop owners to consider EV specialization as a growth path. Rudloff also emphasizes ongoing education, recommending 60 hours of training per year and crediting the Delaware Training Group as a major influence on his career. This episode delivers clear, practical insight on focus, future-proofing, and lifelong learning in today's repair industry.

If you've ever said, "I explained this clearly… so why didn't it get done right?" — this episode is for you. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, we break down one of the most frustrating (and misunderstood) problems in business leadership: why teams don't execute the way owners expect them to — even when intentions are good, effort is high, and talent is present. The truth? Most execution failures aren't caused by lazy employees, bad attitudes, or lack of intelligence. They're caused by hidden disconnects between intention, communication, and execution.
Georgia is already one of the most income-tax-friendly states for retirees, but now local politicians are talking about eliminating the state income tax altogether. Sounds like a dream, right? But as Randy and I debate this today, we have to ask: Is this actually good for your retirement, or just a political shell game? We dig into the "revenue mismatch" that happens when the government cuts taxes without cutting spending. Georgia already excludes up to $65,000 per person in retirement income—so why the push for zero income tax? We explore why this move might actually invite higher property and sales taxes that hit retirees the hardest, the "Florida Effect" on real estate, and why you need a plan nimble enough to survive changing laws. ⸻ ⏱️ Episode Timeline & Highlights [01:00] – The big debate: Should Georgia eliminate state income tax? [02:55] – Why Georgia is already a "Tax Haven" for retirees. [04:15] – The "Clawback" Risk: Will you actually see these savings? [05:30] – The Tax Shell Game: Where the state might collect revenue next. [07:15] – Learning from Florida and Texas: Shifting the burden to property values. [09:45] – Flexibility in your tax code: Why nothing is permanent. [11:50] – The "Golden Child" Lesson: Why knowing the rules means winning the game.

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 387: He Shot my Buck Out From Under Me : Aaron Olsen Next Step Outdoors In this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast, Adam sits down to talk with Aaron Olsen of Next Step Outdoors to break down the real-world challenges of public land hunting, covering strategy, mindset, and decision-making from start to finish of a hard-fought hunt. The discussion explores balancing family life and hunting season, managing expectations, and adapting when conditions and pressure don't go as planned. A pivotal moment in the hunt sparks the core debate of the episode: while glassing a buck, another hunter spotted the same deer, slipped in, and ultimately shot it out from in front of them. What followed became a race to the buck—and a larger conversation about ethics, unwritten rules, and fair play on public land. Was the other hunter in the wrong, or was it simply part of hunting ground that belongs to everyone? Beyond that moment, the episode dives into missed opportunities, mid-hunt adjustments, weather challenges, deer movement, and spot-and-stalk versus ground hunting tactics. Mental toughness and patience are tested as pressure increases from other hunters, leading to honest reflections on luck vs skill, scouting, preparation, and lessons learned for future hunts. Topics Covered: Public land hunting strategy Hunting ethics and shared ground Deer movement and scouting Spot-and-stalk vs ground hunting Decision-making under pressure

In this episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland confront a troubling throughline connecting professional discipline, prosecutorial discretion, and the rapid erosion of constitutional norms. Eric recounts a chilling professional reality: an SC Bar disciplinary investigation triggered by harsh—but truthful—excise of free speech, while far more serious attorney misconduct across South Carolina goes untouched. From there, the discussion turns to newly filed deposition testimony, and the hosts break down how witness narratives can subtly “evolve” under pressure. The final segment widens the lens to the streets of Minnesota, as the team grapples with the fatal shooting of American Nurse Alex Pretti and the alarming normalization of armed federal agents operating without transparency, judicial warrants, or visible identification. At its core, this episode asks a sobering question: What happens when the systems designed to protect justice instead punish those who challenge abuse? The answer... is why journalism, courts, and public scrutiny matter now more than ever. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Lawyer & Judicial Discipline Overview from SC ODC ⚖️ Explainer: Immigration Removal Proceedings and Expanded Mandatory Detention in the U.S. - National Immigration Forum, July 28, 2025

Interview with Oliver Turner, Corporate Development of Americas Gold & Silver Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/americas-gold-silver-tsxusa-acquires-us65m-crescent-mine-raises-us115m-8579Recording date: 23rd January 2026Americas Gold & Silver has delivered a remarkable operational turnaround, achieving 2.65 million ounces of silver production in 2025 - the highest output in 20 years and the highest grade at its flagship Galena mine in two decades. This represents a 52% year-over-year production increase, demonstrating the effectiveness of new management's operational improvements since taking control in October 2024.The company recently completed a transformative $130 million acquisition of the Crescent Silver Mine, located just nine miles from Galena. Crescent features a resource exceeding 20 million ounces at over 600 grams per ton - double Galena's current mining grade. The proximity enables significant synergies, with ore from Crescent feeding directly into Galena's existing mill infrastructure. Management has already reduced power costs at Crescent from 65 cents to 5 cents per kilowatt-hour and plans to invest $20-25 million in development during 2026, with production expected to ramp through 2027-2028.Executive Vice President Oliver Turner emphasized the company's execution-focused approach: "We just got to execute on what we say we're going to do and deliver, deliver, deliver. That's what we've started to do already at Americas Gold and Silver and will continue to do in the years ahead."Looking ahead, the company plans an unprecedented exploration campaign with 15-20 drills across its asset base in 2026. Recent discoveries include the high-grade 34 vein at Galena, which intersected 983 grams per ton silver with an expanded conceptual target of 6-7 million ounces. The exploration potential extends to Cosala in Mexico, where seven outcropping targets remain untested.Strategically, Galena operates as the largest active antimony mine in the United States, producing continuously since 1942. With new offtake contracts effective January 2026 providing payment for all byproducts and antimony designated as a critical mineral priority, the company offers unique exposure to both precious metals and strategic materials. Backed by over 60% institutional ownership and robust capitalization, Americas Gold & Silver combines operational execution with significant growth catalysts across production, exploration, and strategic mineral positioning.View Americas Gold and Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/americas-gold-silver-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

If you know what to do but keep hesitating, this episode is for you.We're talking about why overthinking keeps high-achieving women stuck — and how to shift into calm, confident execution.In this episode:Why overthinking is a stall, not strategyHow waiting to feel ready keeps you stuckSimple ways to execute with a full scheduleThe mindset shift that builds confidence fastKey takeaway: Clarity comes from action — not thinking.Ready to step into your Upgrade Era?Work with me through Private Mentorship or the Ambitious & Fit Mastermind.
To achieve success, stop talking about your plans. Shut your mouth, do the work, and let the results speak for you. Most people don't fail because they lack ideas. They fail because they talk too much and execute too little. They announce goals they haven't earned yet. They explain dreams they haven't worked on. They seek validation before discipline. And every time you talk instead of working, you release pressure. You feel productive without actually producing anything.

THE OUTBREAK OF CIVIL WAR Colleague Jonathan Healey. By late 1641, Parliament forces reforms, executing Strafford and imprisoning Laud. The King attempts to arrest five parliamentary members in the House of Commons but fails, leading to massive street protests that force him to flee London. Charles travels the country gathering support while Parliamentarians argue that the safety of the people supersedes the King's authority. Both sides utilize print media to rally troops, with Royalists claiming divine right and Parliamentarians asserting popular sovereignty. This period marks the irrevocable transition from political dispute to open military conflict. NUMBER 4LONDON FOR THE TUDORS

301: Why Aligning Your Resources is the Key to Executing Your Strategy On the podcast today, I'm joined by Courtney Bramlett, owner of The Good Sower, and the powerhouse behind marketing and operations at Scarlet Thread. In this episode, we're talking about the alignment of resources—how you're investing your time, energy, and effort into the areas of your business that truly matter and will move you to the next level. Together, we are bringing a practical, grounded perspective on focusing your resources with intention so your business can grow without unnecessary overwhelm. Get ready for a fun, insightful, and energizing conversation. Topics Mentioned: Alignment of Resources to Strategy Prioritization of Goals based on company vision Focus resources and reduce unnecessary tasks Key Thoughts: Understand business fundamentals before implementing solutions. Budget for what is important. All resources should be aligned with the company strategy. Small steps in the right direction are better than none.

Mid-January is where most New Year's resolutions quietly break. The goals are still written down. The intentions are still there. But execution starts to fade. In this episode, I outline a mid-January check-in for serious business acquirers. This is not motivation. It is accountability. I walk through: Why hope replaces execution for most people by mid-January How to use the Ivy Lee method to stay focused on what actually matters The difference between goals and execution commitments How to course-correct quickly if you are off track How to protect momentum if you are still executing If no one else can tell you worked this week, it probably did not count. This episode is a reminder that progress in 2026 will not come from intention. It will come from disciplined, uncomfortable execution week after week.

Using his experience standing on Iceland's continental divide as a metaphor, he emphasizes that meaningful growth often requires a deliberate leap of faith rather than passive autopilot living.Sleep is the New Frontier for Disease PredictionGroundbreaking AI research (the Sleep Foundation Model) shows that data from a single night of sleep can predict over 130 health conditions, including dementia, heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Sleep is reframed not as passive rest, but as a powerful diagnostic signal for future health.Sleep Functions as a Biological and Metabolic SuperpowerHigh-quality sleep resets metabolism, reduces inflammation, preserves muscle mass, improves cognition, and enhances physical performance. Athletes, professionals, and everyday individuals perform better when sleep is prioritized, making it foundational for both vitality and productivity.Five Evidence-based Principles can Dramatically Improve Sleep QualityThe most impactful strategies are:* Prioritizing sleep regularity over total sleep duration* Using exercise (especially strength training) as a drug-free sleep aid* Executing consistent sleep hygiene (cool, dark room; limited screens/caffeine; calming routines)* Recognizing sleep as a performance enhancer and metabolic reset* Treating sleep data as a validated biomarker for long-term health riskKnowledge only Matters when Turned into ActionEchoing Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Mishra stresses that while knowledge pays dividends, action pays more. The concrete vitality action for the week is simple but powerful: aim for 20 additional minutes of quality sleep per night, combined with moments of stillness, reflection, and self-advocacy to move intentionally toward a more vital life.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

From battling brutal foot issues at Hennepin 100, to a breakout 17:10 performance at the Dreadmill 100, to planning an all-out push for 200 miles at Last Dot Standing — Phil is on a mission. You'll hear us talk training strategies, treadmill mental battles, aid station efficiency, and the power of community and support. Phil shares how this sport has not only transformed his life but also brought strength to his relationships, mindset, and mission.

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! If you're feeling that “new year, new me” pressure: goals, plans, fresh calendars, the whole thing—this one's for you. Because when life inevitably punches your perfectly color-coded week in the throat, the issue isn't your planning… it's what you thought planning could control. This episode is all about Control vs. Agency—and how to stay productive when outcomes refuse to cooperate.In this episode we cover:• Why Control Breaks (and Agency Doesn't): Control tries to guarantee outcomes; agency chooses your response when the day goes sideways.• The Identity Trap of Productivity: What happens when “being on top of things” becomes self-worth—and why that makes disruptions feel like failure.• The 4-Step Agency Process: Name what you're trying to control, separate what's in your hands vs. not, choose one “agency lever,” then replan from reality.• Stabilization Over Catching Up: Why the goal isn't to “win the week,” but to stop the panic spiral and choose the next stabilizing move.• Plan Like a Menu (Not a Script): Scripts make you panic when life changes a line; menus give you options when the day changes the plot.If you've been stuck in the loop of “I did everything right and still lost control,” this episode is your reminder that you don't need a new system—you need a different stance. You may not control the story, but you do get to choose how you show up on the page.• Brain.fm - Music specifically engineered to help you focus, relax or recharge.Connect with Erik:LinkedIn InstagramFacebook This podcast is Powered By:DescriptDescript 101CastmagicEcammPodpageRodecaster ProTop Productivity Books ListSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I talk about momentum, certainty, and why the next level of growth always demands a higher standard from us. As we head into a new year, I can feel it clearly. This organization is not slowing down. We are just getting started. After years of grit, hard decisions, and building when it was uncomfortable, everything is beginning to align. And that alignment comes from one thing above all else. Internal certainty. Over the last decade, I have learned that confidence does not come from positive thinking or hoping things work out. It comes from conditioning yourself to win. Showing up for the small commitments. Executing on what you said you would do. Setting targets and hitting them over and over again. That repetition creates belief. And belief creates momentum. When obstacles show up, and they always do, certainty keeps you grounded because you know it is only a matter of time before you figure it out. As an organization, we are very different than we were five years ago. The systems are sharper. The execution is faster. The scale is bigger. But the core has never changed. The belief system. The faith. The work ethic. What has changed is the number of people willing to operate at that level together. When you surround yourself with individuals who show up regardless of how they feel, momentum multiplies. Wins stack faster. Growth accelerates. And suddenly what once felt impossible becomes the next logical step. Opening a new office is not about convenience or expansion for the sake of expansion. It is a declaration. It is a statement that we are here to build something lasting. That we are willing to take on more responsibility, more pressure, and more challenges because that is what growth requires. I know there will be stress. I know there will be moments where it feels heavy. But I also know that every new standard feels foreign at first. And if you stay consistent, clarity always follows. What I want people to understand is this. Growth is never about becoming someone else. It is about deciding who you are and refusing to shrink back. When you stop challenging yourself, when you choose comfort over progress, motivation fades. The work slows down. And before you know it, you are watching others pass you by. That feeling is far worse than any challenge that comes from going all in. There is a cost to action, but there is a bigger cost to doing nothing. If something is on your heart and soul, and you have done the work to build the foundation, you owe it to yourself and your family to move forward. Not from emotion. Not from pressure. But from certainty. Certainty that you will not quit. Certainty that you will figure it out. Certainty that this is who you are. As we step into what is next, I want people to take an honest look at the environment around them. The support. The leadership. The access. This is not common. And it is not accidental. It is built by people who refuse to slow down, who hold the line, and who continue to show up even when it would be easier not to. That is what creates something special. And that is what makes the next chapter inevitable. Reader Reflection Questions Where in your life or business are you playing it safe instead of stepping into the next standard you know you are capable of What daily commitments are you either honoring or avoiding that are shaping your level of certainty If you truly decided that this is who you are now, what decision would you stop postponing Notable Quotes "Internal certainty comes from conditioning yourself to win on a consistent basis." "There is a bigger cost to doing nothing than there is to taking the risk." "This is not about who I want to become. This is who I am." Follow A.Z.

Send us a textSlow seasons happen in every industry, and the salon industry is no exception. But while slow periods are predictable, panic is optional.In this episode, we talk about why seasonal slowdowns shouldn't feel shocking, why reacting emotionally makes things worse, and how both salon owners and stylists can prepare ahead of time instead of scrambling at the last minute. We break down the difference between panic and passivity, why discounting usually backfires, and how to build systems that keep your business steady year after year.We also share practical ways to use slow seasons productively: tightening systems, improving consultations, planning financially, strengthening client relationships, and maintaining strong team morale. Slow doesn't mean broken; it means you have information, time, and opportunity to improve your business.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.Slow seasons don't have to derail you — they can actually make your business stronger.Key TakeawaysSlow seasons are predictable patterns, not sudden failures.Panic and passivity are both reactive — leadership is proactive.Data and year-over-year numbers matter more than feelings.Planning removes stress when business slows.Discounts attract price-first clients, not loyal ones.Strong consultations and rebooking conversations drive stability.Marketing works when it's consistent, not reactive.Slow periods are ideal for systems, training, and leadership work.Small experience upgrades build massive client loyalty.Panic is optional — preparation is powerful.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + holiday context 02:00 — Jen's opening take: systems fail (even trash bags) 05:00 — Todd's opening take: gratitude, perspective, slowing down 07:00 — Slow seasons are patterns, not emergencies 09:00 — Panic vs passivity (and why neither works) 11:00 — Seasonality, weather, and predictable slowdowns 13:00 — Why confirmation bias online keeps owners stuck 15:00 — What salon owners can work on during slow periods 18:00 — Budgeting, staffing, reserves, and planning ahead 21:00 — Marketing consistency vs last-minute scrambling 23:00 — Opportunities hidden inside open schedule space 25:00 — What stylists can do to prepare before slow seasons 27:00 — Rebooking conversations that actually work 29:00 — Retention, education, referrals, and visibility 31:00 — Executing during slow seasons without panicking 33:00 — Leadership, morale, and coaching during downtime 35:00 — Social media is not a panic button 37:00 — Why discounting hurts more than it helps 41:00 — Client experience upgrades that don't involve discounts 44:00 — Small details that create loyalty 46:00 — Final thoughts: plan, embrace, panic is optionalLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

PREVIEW China's Technocratic Leadership: Efficiency vs. Brittle Decision-Making. John Kitch discusses Dan Wong'sbook Breakneck, which views Chinese leaders as engineers skilled at rapidly executing plans and directing vast resources, which has helped China rise up the value chain. However, Wong argues, and Kitch agrees, that using a purely technocratic mindset to handle complex human and political problems is a major downside. This approach results in leadership that lacks imagination and is brittle and inflexible in its decision-making. Guest: John Kitch.
The state of Florida continues its record setting year of 14 executions and counting, with number 15 scheduled for Tuesday, October 28th. In an unusual move, 65-year-old Norman Grim has chosen not to fight tomorrow’s scheduled lethal injection for the 1998 rape and murder of his next door neighbor. Meantime, in Tennessee, a lawsuit challenging the state’s lethal injection method, claims the August 5th execution of Byron Black was botched, his autopsy showing sustained cardiac activity 2 minutes after he was pronounced dead, with his final words “It’s hurting so bad."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
