A single headline can flip the meaning of a story, and we're seeing that play out in real time. We start with a local New Mexico example where border water well drilling gets framed as a squabble over “credit” while the bigger question of accountability gets pushed aside. If you've ever felt like coverage misses the point, we break down exactly how that happens and why it matters for voters trying to track what's real.Next, we decode the governor's race “panic” narrative and explain why scary fundraising emails often signal strategy more than fear. We talk campaign mechanics, polling messaging, and what to watch for if a race truly tightens. Then we move to the policy story that could shape the next few years: New York City's plan for government-run grocery stores. The promise of 30% lower prices sounds like relief in an inflationary economy, but the incentives are radically different when the state can operate at a loss, undercut private grocers, and sell the optics of a utopia before the bill arrives.We also revisit COVID trust, from Fauci's latest heat on Capitol Hill to RFK Jr's clash on CNN over “trust the experts” versus open debate and continued research. And because culture and sports keep colliding, we cover the WNBA's newest self-inflicted controversy tied to trans inclusion and a team owner confronting teenage fans. We wrap with lighter “game cam” wildlife to end on a breath, then we tell you how to keep up with the show.Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review if you want more clear takes on New Mexico politics, media bias, cost of living, and the stories shaping national culture.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

“When times get hard and people crumble, it shows you who they are.”Army veteran, public speaker, and author, Mr. Greg Archbold, was headed down a rough path in life until a couple of veterans saw his potential and convinced him to enlist. The desire to improve his life led Greg to a career of more than three decades and from an enlisted medic to a Military Police officer.He treated POWs during Operation Desert Storm, commanded the only US military prison in Europe, and spent nearly a decade in Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). From driving an ambulance in Georgia to parachute mishaps in Italy and from running his own Troop Medical Clinic to losing weapons in Afghanistan, Greg's story is as incredible as it is inspiring. Plus, rules for card games, beers with General McChrystal, a waiver for everything, and so much more!Over those many years, Greg was constantly reminded, by word and deed, of the importance of good leadership. So much so that, after retirement, he wrote a book about it called Fail, Fight, Finish: Leadership Lessons You Don't Learn in the Classroom. He also is available for speaking engagements and leadership training.In the Free Fire Area, the guys talk about some of their habits that other people might find odd, even freakish perhaps.Theme song by The Mountain via Pixabay.Support the showhttps://tracerburnout.com/

On today's show, we're reviewing a new book by Andrew Ross Sorkin called 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History, and How It Shattered a Nation.Sorkin is best known for Too Big to Fail, his account of the 2008 financial crisis. In this book, he goes back nearly eighty years earlier to examine the most famous market collapse in American history.Most people know the basic outline. The stock market rose dramatically during the Roaring Twenties. Speculation took hold. The market crashed in October of 1929, and the Great Depression followed.But knowing the outline is not the same as understanding what happened.Sorkin's strength is narrative. He takes a complicated financial event and tells it through the people who experienced it. Bankers, traders, politicians, regulators, journalists, and ordinary investors appear not as distant historical figures, but as human beings operating under pressure.The book's central lesson is not simply that markets can fall. Everyone already knows that.The deeper lesson is that intelligent, experienced people can see warning signs and still fail to act.Why?Because the incentives of the moment are often stronger than the consequences of the future.-------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

What do you do when the school waits until the night before the last day of school to tell you your child is failing — and it turns out they broke his own IEP to do it? Dr. Amy Moore joins Cheryl this week. She's a cognitive psychologist and former teacher who left the classroom to research why struggling kids kept getting missed. She's also raised three sons — now 27, 25, and 21 — all neurodivergent, all homeschooled differently based on what they actually needed. They get into the real story behind pulling her oldest out of school in 6th grade after a last-minute email about 20+ missing assignments his 504 plan should have flagged much earlier. From there, Dr. Amy breaks down the difference between neurodiverse and neurodivergent, why social-emotional learning programs in a classroom of 30 can't replace what happens one-on-one at home, and how to tell if your child is dealing with a content gap or a skill gap when something isn't clicking. You'll hear about: The night her son's school broke its own legal accommodation — and what she did the next morningWhy co-regulation (not curriculum) is the missing piece in most SEL programsHow dual enrollment programs like Colorado Early Colleges let homeschoolers earn college credit for freeWhy a major meta-analysis found a leading reading approach wasn't moving the needle — and what she says actually isHer advice for any parent who's terrified an IEP means they can't homeschoolIf you're staring down a diagnosis, an IEP meeting, or a kid who just isn't clicking with the curriculum you picked — this one's for you.Connect with Dr.Amy:www.thebrainymoms.comwww.amymoorephd.comwww.instagram.com/thebrainymomsReady to homeschool but wondering where to start?

We talk about why the business owner is so often the thing standing in the way of their own growth, and Allison walks me through her five phases of scaling, from the seeker all the way through what she calls the ringleader phase, the chaotic circus stage where most businesses get stuck for years. We get into how to build a team of what she calls scale multipliers instead of people who just complete tasks, why tracking your return on employee matters as much as any other business metric, and how her own burnout and health scare early in her career led her to build a completely different way of running a business. We also dig into her morning vision crafting practice and how she uses alignment to make faster, clearer decisions as a CEO. If you've ever felt like your business can't run without you, this conversation will change how you think about that. Main Topics Covered Why the founder is often the biggest bottleneck to growth The five phases of scaling a business Building a team of scale multipliers instead of task-doers Tracking return on employee (ROE) How to let go of control without losing quality Vision crafting and morning routines for clarity Using alignment to guide business decisions Why investing in mentors and masterminds speeds up growth About Allison: Allison Maslan is the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Global Network, a global business mentoring company that has helped more than 150,000 founders scale their companies from seven to nine figures.

In this video, Zach breaks down the exact mistakes that kill woodworking businesses early and what the guys who survive do differently from day one.

JB"s a touch concerned about Bird Flu, but we push on with Billy's All Sports Report - as a panel is put together to choose the Tassie Devils' club song. JB has received an email about Billy's poor performance yesterday, which leads to a much more up and about Comm Games Fat. Retired Carlton star Sam Docherty is in studio to talk about his new book, then swimmer Sam 'Lasagna' Williamson calls in from Glasgow to celebrate his four gold medals, and an astounding comeback story.

Leadership is built through conversations, trust, and the willingness to learn from failure. In this episode, author Gregory Archbold discusses the lessons behind his book, Fail, Fight, Finish. From the power of listening first to creating buy-in during change, he shares practical leadership strategies that every manager, mentor, and learning professional can put into practice. Show Notes:Author Gregory Archbold discusses trust, mentorship, communication, and leading through change. His key points include:Leadership begins with listening. Great leaders ask questions, create space for others to contribute, and speak last to build trust and develop future leaders.Mentorship is earned, not assigned. Strong mentoring relationships grow over time through curiosity, consistency, and a genuine commitment to learning.Create shared ownership during change. Leaders gain buy-in by involving people in developing solutions rather than presenting fully formed decisions.Challenge processes that no longer serve a purpose. Don't continue doing something simply because "we've always done it that way." Regularly evaluate whether processes still create value.Never become "content lazy." Leadership growth requires continuous learning through reading, mentoring, reflection, and seeking feedback—especially after receiving a promotion. Learn more about Gregory Archbold's book, Fail, Fight, Finish: Leadership Lessons You Don't Learn in the Classroom.Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Chaz and AJ had a lot of thoughts about the Fauci deposition, and his repeated use of the fifth amendment. (0:00) Helping or hurting? In Dumb Ass News, Chaz and AJ had audio of the aftermath of a truck accident in a parking lot. The man who came by to "help," did nothing to assist. (10:32) Big Mike was live from the Shark studios on Long Island, handling today's "On the Board." The Tribe called in their favorite quotes from "Jaws." (16:12)  Just in time for Shark Week, the first hammerhead shark was tagged off the coast of Rhode Island by the Atlantic Shark Insitute. Jon Dodd was on with Chaz and AJ to talk about the historic moment, and offered to let them and the Tribe name the shark. (32:35)  When cliff-jumping goes wrong, everyone knows it immediately. Chaz and AJ had audio of a California kid incorrectly estimating the distance, and smashing his backside into the cliff face. (45:35) Photo courtesy: Atlantic Shark Institute

No suction on a manual pool vacuum can turn a simple cleanup into a frustrating guessing game, especially when the skimmer looks like it's working. We break the problem down into a field-tested troubleshooting order that saves time: confirm real skimmer suction safely, then use the filter pressure gauge (PSI) as your truth meter for flow. When pressure is high, suction is usually low, and a dirty DE filter, loaded cartridge filter, or sand filter that needs backwashing can be the whole story.From there, we get practical about the stuff that quietly steals vacuum power. Variable speed pump settings matter more than most people think, and low RPM can make a vacuum head feel useless. We also cover suction split issues, like a suction-side cleaner on a side port, two skimmers pulling at once, and a main drain line that competes with the skimmer. You'll hear a simple workaround pool pros use when there's no valve to isolate lines: the tennis ball skimmer plug trick to concentrate suction where you need it.Then we go deeper into the harder diagnoses: air leaks that only show up when you add a long vacuum hose, what PSI fluctuations mean, and an easy “plastic bag” test that can help confirm a leak at threaded fittings or unions. We also touch on impeller clogs, pump lid O-ring issues, worn filter elements, and when it makes sense to switch to vacuum alternatives like a Bottom Feeder, Vac Daddy, or portable pool filtration vacuum to get the job done even with aging equipment.If this helped, subscribe for more pool service troubleshooting, share it with a tech who's been fighting low suction, and leave a quick review with the weirdest vacuum problem you've run into.We walk through a practical checklist for fixing weak or no suction when manually vacuuming a pool through the skimmer or a side port. We show how to spot flow problems fast by reading the skimmer, the filter pressure gauge, and the equipment pad clues that point to leaks, restrictions, or missing parts.  • checking for real skimmer suction without risking your fingers  • using filter PSI to diagnose low flow across DE, cartridge, and sand filters  • increasing variable speed pump RPM for stronger vacuum pull  • stopping suction loss to a suction-side cleaner and side port  • concentrating suction with two skimmers using a tennis ball plug  • turning off the main drain to maximize skimmer vacuum power  • identifying missing diverter valves in older one-hole skimmers  • recognizing air leaks by fluctuating PSI when the vacuum hose is connected  • confirming a suction leak with the plastic bag sealing trick  • clearing impeller debris and restoring prime and pressure  • fixing vacuum loss with pump lid O-ring lube or replacement  • upgrading worn cartridges or DE grids to restore suction  • using Bottom Feeder, Vac Daddy, or portable filtration when equipment is weak  Learn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.  you can learn more at PoolGuyCoaching.com.  Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

What actually causes most business acquisitions to fail? It usually isn't the price. Or the financing. Or even the due diligence. It's what happens after the deal closes. Too many buyers spend months negotiating the perfect acquisition, then expect two businesses, two teams, two cultures, and two sets of systems to magically become one. That's where things start to unravel. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Julie Keyes, Certified Exit Planning Advisor, author of Poised for Exit, and host of the Poised for Exit podcast, to unpack why integration is the most overlooked part of buying a business and why it's often the difference between creating value and destroying it. They dive into the biggest red flags buyers should spot before making an offer, why customer concentration and owner dependency can quietly kill a deal, and the simple question every acquirer should answer before buying another company: "Why are we doing this?" Julie also shares why culture matters just as much as cash flow, how successful buyers prepare long before signing the paperwork, and why the smartest acquisitions aren't about buying revenue, they're about creating a stronger business for everyone involved. Because the best acquisitions don't end at closing. That's where the real work begins.

Most acquisitions look strong on paper. The real challenge begins after the deal closes.In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with J. Michael Coffey, author of G.A.L.E. Force: Navigating Strategy, Culture, and Value Creation in Modern M&A, to explore why so many mergers and acquisitions fail to meet expectations, and why culture often becomes the biggest obstacle after closing.Michael shares lessons from helping H.E. Parts acquire 14 companies, expand into seven countries, and eventually become part of Hitachi. He explains the principle behind his G.A.L.E. Force framework: global aim, local execution.Joe and Michael discuss the evolution of private equity, the rise of growth through acquisition, the hidden complexity of post-merger integration, and why financial projections often miss the human realities that determine whether a deal succeeds.Michael also shares stories from Chile, global mining operations, competing against industry giants like Caterpillar and Komatsu, and what it feels like to move from acquirer to acquiree.If you're a CEO, founder, investor, private equity leader, operator, or executive involved in M&A, this conversation offers a practical look at how companies can create lasting value after the deal is done.Chapters00:00 Intro00:43 Buffalo Bills vs. Jets01:00 How private equity changed M&A02:55 Why the book opens in Chile03:10 Building H.E.

He's got 2 small kids, and believes in work hard, play hard.Danny has worked in many roles in the past, across enterprises and the like. What he found most difficult was scaling himself. He got to talking with his now co-founder about building something around the idea of scaling oneself, and took it to some businesses to validate it.

Strong sales conversations are built long before the pitch begins. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Glenn Poulos explore practical strategies for building trust, strengthening customer relationships, and creating memorable buying experiences in both in-person and virtual sales environments.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Glenn Poulos discuss: Relationship-driven approaches to professional selling Adapting traditional sales practices for virtual environments Communication techniques that strengthen customer trust Career decisions, entrepreneurship, and business growth Lessons learned from decades of sales and leadership experience   Key Takeaways: Listening carefully, remembering people, and learning about their environment creates stronger trust than leading with product features. Instead of covering everything you offer, identify the customer's primary problem and build your presentation around solving it. Whether meeting in person or virtually, thoughtful preparation, genuine rapport, and attention to detail leave a stronger impression than a polished sales pitch. Working for strong, market-leading organizations can create greater career growth and reduce the effort spent defending your value. Recognizing what you do well, letting go of poor-fit pursuits, and building on your strengths leads to greater confidence and effectiveness.   "You only have one life to live, so you should always work for the best possible company.” — Glenn Poulos   About Glenn Poulos: Glenn Poulos is a three-time entrepreneur and seasoned strategist leading ProgUSA, a long-standing power industry supplier focused on equipment and tools supporting today's grid and tomorrow's data center power needs.

Divorce is often the catalyst for making positive life changes, including improving your health. But in the rush to feel better and rebuild confidence, many people fall into the trap of restrictive diets that promise quick results but rarely create lasting change.In this episode, Mardi Winder is joined by certified transformational macros and nutrition coach Christi Kelsey to discuss a healthier, more sustainable approach to nutrition and wellness. Christi shares her own remarkable journey through multiple serious health challenges and explains how those experiences transformed her relationship with food, exercise, and self-care. Together, they explore why chronic dieting often leads to frustration, how restrictive eating affects metabolism, and why strength, balance, and consistency matter far more than chasing a number on the scale. They also discuss the emotional side of body image after divorce, the importance of understanding your "why," and practical ways to build lifelong habits that support both physical and emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating divorce, entering a new stage of life, or simply looking for a healthier relationship with food and your body, this conversation offers practical insights and plenty of encouragement.In This Episode:• Why restrictive diets often fail in the long run• The chronic dieting cycle and how to break free • Understanding protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats• Why building muscle becomes increasingly important as we age• The emotional connection between self-worth and body image• How to create healthy habits that actually lastAbout the Guest:Christi Kelsey is a certified transformational macro and nutrition coach and founder of Christi Counts Macros.

Retail success isn't about chasing the latest tools; it's about building operations that actually deliver on your promises. Today's guest, Mani Subramaniam, Head of Retail and Consumer Goods at Experion Technologies, has spent over 30 years helping global retailers modernize their stores, supply chains, and customer experiences, all while keeping AI and technology tightly aligned with real business outcomes instead of hype. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Mani explains why growth doesn't solve weaknesses; it exposes them. Using vivid examples from major retailers (including what happens when shelves are literally empty for months), he breaks down retail operations like an umbrella: if every “spoke” (supply chain, merchandising, store ops, people, systems) isn't working in harmony, the whole thing fails.  Mani shares how smart retailers stress-test their operations before they scale, asking, “What will break if we grow faster?” and then fixing those weak links in advance. Mani dives into the mindset and measurement behind reliable execution: learning from mistakes instead of hiding them, building true teamwork instead of lone heroes, and measuring not just leads and sales, but on-time delivery and promise-keeping. Mani emphasizes that marketing and websites can say anything, but the customer only experiences one thing: whether you kept your promise. Fail at that, and you don't just lose a sale; you lose the customer and their entire cohort.  https://youtu.be/O6OZj527NqE?si=A6IspG8lmN--oTNX The conversation then shifts to AI in retail and business operations. Mani argues you should never start with “What can AI do for me?” but instead ask, “Where is my work breaking down, and can AI help there?” He shares how he uses AI to compress weeks of financial and business analysis into days, while still validating every insight, and how retailers are using AI for proactive communication around shipment delays, pricing changes, and faster, more consistent follow-up. If you're interested in using AI as a practical assistant to strengthen existing processes, improve execution, and grow without breaking your business, this episode is packed with grounded, real-world insights you can apply right away. Quotes: “Marketing makes promises, but only your execution can keep them. The customer doesn't care which part of your business failed; they only know that you failed.” "Make sure that if you have made a promise, every small bit of your business is geared up to meet that promise." “There are no single heroes in a retail operation. Everybody contributes to the success, and it's the coordination of many small things that keeps your promises to the customer.” Contact Details: Transform your Business with AI-powered Software Solutions: Explore Experion Global Today Join Mani Subramaniam on LinkedIn for Thought Leadership on AI, Retail, and Digital Transformation
