He's the runner you spot from a distance, not because of a character costume, but because he's carrying the weight of a whole profession. Fireman Rob joins us to explain why he races in full firefighter turnout gear and what that choice has to do with mental health, hope, and letting people know they're not alone.We talk about the realities behind the gear: the heat you can't escape, the sweat-soaked weight that only gets heavier, and the mindset required to keep moving when there's no “easy mile.” Rob shares how he trains for the uncomfortable, how the fire service teaches calm under pressure, and why the most important skill is learning to talk to yourself kindly when you're hurting. He also opens up about being part of search and recovery at 9/11, the lasting impact of trauma, and how running became a way to keep moving forward one step at a time.Before the interview, we hit the latest runDisney conversation starters, including the 2027 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend themes and artwork, the excitement of seeing Jasmine finally headline the Half, and the budget trade-offs many runners are making as prices rise. We also share a practical “What Would Alysha Do” on adapting your training plan when life throws a curveball, plus community updates, YouTube content for Disney resort running routes, and a packed race report full of PRs and proud finishes.If you take one thing from this, let it be Rob's reminder: keep moving forward.

Introduction What if the biggest gap in personal lines insurance technology isn't the consumer experience—it's the broker experience? Every major insurtech wave of the past decade has tried to disintermediate the agent. Jon Kelly thinks that's the wrong bet. In his view, the broker is the product in personal lines, and the tools they work with are embarrassingly behind. Kelly has been building at the intersection of insurance and technology since 1998, when he co-founded eCoverage—the first venture-backed startup to underwrite car insurance online. After selling SureHits in 2008, he spent years watching high-net-worth clients get onboarded with hundreds of questions spread across weeks of back-and-forth, proposals built in Excel, and data managed across disconnected systems. He called it "the Columbo experience"—always just one more thing. That frustration led him to co-found Kelly Klee Private Insurance in 2016 and build Discover, the platform powering it, from the inside out. Kelly Klee was acquired by Foundation Risk Partners in 2022. Now, as CEO of Modern Metric, he's selling Discover to the largest national brokers in the country. In this conversation, Josh Hollander and Kelly dig into the technology gap in personal lines, why enterprise-first was the right strategic bet, what it takes to hire high-agency people, and why trust is the ultimate product in this business. Guest Bio Jon Kelly is the Founder and CEO of Modern Metric, makers of the Discover platform for personal lines insurance distribution. His career began in 1995 at Mercer Management Consulting, advising Prudential, CNA, and Fireman's Fund. In 1998 he co-founded eCoverage, the first venture-backed startup to underwrite car insurance online, followed by SureHits (acquired by QuinStreet, 2008) and Kelly Klee Private Insurance (acquired by Foundation Risk Partners, 2022). He chairs Hometown Quotes, sits on the board of Great Range Capital, and earned a BA in Economics and Political Science from Stanford University. Key Topics • The missing layer in the tech stack — Independent agents have AMS systems for back-office accounting, CRMs for lead tracking, and form builders as pipes to carriers. But there is no purpose-built system for the client-facing workflow: data discovery, market presentation, and proposal delivery. That gap is what Discover was built to fill. • Relationship business vs. transactional business — The real split in personal lines isn't private client vs. mass market—it's relationship (multi-line) vs. transactional (monoline). Form builders work fine for monoline. They fall apart the moment complexity enters the picture. • Enterprise-first as a strategic decision — The most consequential decision at Modern Metric was targeting the largest national brokers from day one. Building for complex, enterprise-scale accounts forces architectural decisions that cannot be retrofitted later. You can scale down from enterprise; you cannot scale up from a form builder. Their first anchor tenant is a top-20 national broker. • The Uber Black analogy — If you order an Uber X and the Uber Black shows up, you're thrilled. If you order the Uber Black and the old Honda arrives, you're not happy. A platform built for simple transactions will never feel right in a complex private client context, no matter how much you add to it. • Hiring for high agency — The through line across all of Kelly's businesses: he hires for high agency. He looks for people who have clear motivations for every role on their resume. His favorite interview story: asking a candidate about their favorite exhibit at the natural history museum where they worked. The answer was "that was okay." They didn't get the job. • Trust as the ultimate product — Kelly's answer to what he'd want co-founders, teammates, and customers to say: that he delivered on what he said he would, that they got good value, and above all, that they can trust him. Trust is number one. Notable Quotes "I called it the Columbo because it was always just one more thing. Oh, your house is in a trust? Just one more question. I couldn't help think that maybe there were some issues with technology and personal lines, especially at the high end." "The whole process of how do you get the data in, how do you take that to market, how do you do your proposal—that's all done in paper and pencil, Excel and Word and Outlook." "If you order an Uber X and the Uber Black comes, you're thrilled. If you order Uber Black and the old Honda comes, you're not happy. You can't go from one to the other." "What I'd want them to say is that I delivered-that whatever I said I was going to do, I did, and that they got value out of it. More than anything, that they feel like they can trust me. Trust is number one." Resources Guest: • Modern Metric: https://www.modernmetric.com • Jon Kelly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonkelly/ Host & Organization: • Joshua R.

Hat Trick rolls in fresh off a marathon threesome with Zool and the Fireman and proceeds to narrate every position, every creampie, and every "good girl" command like she's filing a police report for the horniest crime scene in podcast history. Meanwhile El Prez and Kid are knee-deep in nostalgia about his dad's corroded portable Sonys, cheap modern TVs, and the fact that everybody just watches games on their phones anyway. Throw in AI-generated dirty songs, a quick Shannon Elizabeth OnlyFans debate, and the usual Trump passport rant, and you've got the kind of episode that makes you forget your own weekend plans existed.

You Won't Believe What Fireman Jim Just Did After The Brewers' Latest Win! by 102.9 The Hog
Clare was born in New York City yet her parents were originally from Ukraine. Rich is a very warm and caring son. Looking back, Rich would like to have asked his mom "what she was so worried about all the time." Looking back, my guest also has regrets for his mom's lack of happiness and wellbeing. As a teen he was more concerned with himself than the welfare of his mom. In hindsight, he wishes she had taken better care of herself- had more friends, etc. As a young girl, Clare's mother, Rich's maternal grandmother, put a lot of pressure on Clare to practice her music. Clare was a phenomenal concert pianist. She studied piano from a young age and within a few years she suddenly quit playing the piano, defiant to her mother's constant nagging. Rich's mom was overprotected and as he says "kind of spoiled." Interestingly enough, Clare was overprotected by her own mother and then did something similar to her only son. Rich refers to it as a "constant hovering." As a result, Rich created his own internal world or a world of imagination which he found at the library and through books. A college professor recognized that Rich showed some true talent in his poetry and encouraged him to pursue it. Today, Rich is a poet and has almost one hundred poems published in the Monmouth Review (Monmouth University) and two in the International Journal of Poetry Therapy and several in other literary publications. Twenty years since his mom's death, he looks back fondly on his memories of his mom . His memories don't rattle him as much now. He's embracing the whole picture of her life and not just the last five years that she endured Alzheimer's. Poem#1 The Science of Medicine Poem #2 Bringing In The Tide https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Away-Demons-Creative-Transformative/dp/0878393293 Richard's forthcoming book of poetry "Constellations" due to be published late 2022. "Constellations are our attempt to make sense of the universe. We create patterns in the sky, trying to understand what God might mean, and write our stories as if we knew. These poems are my constellations. The words are stars. May their light be a guide to find your way home." - Richard Fireman "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more.

Hatrick delivers the most detailed sex report yet: lining up a Tinder 27-year-old while the Fireman is away, sending him a Snapchat of her swallowing the kid's load, then getting destroyed by Fireman who shows up right after and happily double-dips. The cuck/hot-sidepiece energy is strong, complete with "mommy" kink from the 27-year-old and Fireman jerking off on video chat to the evidence. They roast the "shots fired" stunt at the Correspondents' Dinner, play multiple AI-generated songs (the "help us beat one out" track is an instant classic), talk NFL draft ginger mullets, and get into parenting horror stories, Hatrick yelling at her ex at kids' games, accidental phone calls during sex, and daughters dodging mom's truck in the driveway. Throw in rants about Epstein files, AI influencers scamming conservatives, why baseball's City Connect jerseys make everyone look like a gender-reveal party, and the eternal debate over biological clocks and sperm quality. It's the usual mix of unhinged confessions, sports tangents, and "what the fuck is wrong with the world" energy that keeps the longtime listeners coming back.

You might feel focused—checking boxes and making moves—but why does it seem like life still goes in circles? After 20,000 hours of coaching, I've learned focus itself isn't the problem—you're focused, just on the wrong things: urgent distractions instead of what truly matters. Today I'm ranting a little, laughing a lot, and showing you how to focus on what actually counts. Lean in. This one might sting a little, but it'll set you free. Featured Story A guy I've been getting to know at a discussion group came up to me last night. Said he was worried when my podcast was late on Monday. Almost texted me — but we hadn't known each other long enough. Then he told me something that cracked me open. He said, "Scott, I'm a self-motivated business owner. I didn't think I needed a boost. But I started listening, and now I feel like you're with me all day long." That moment reminded me why I keep showing up—not because I have it all together. In fact, I'm a hot mess. But maybe that's exactly what makes this work real. Important Points The issue isn't lack of focus—it's focusing on what's urgent, not what matters most. Ask yourself: Are you the firefighter or the arsonist? Many of us spend our days putting out fires that we set ourselves. You are 100% in charge of every single action you take or don't take. Nobody on this earth has power over you. Memorable Quotes Life is so much more complex than just the stuff you think you've got to get done. What matters is buried deep inside. You are the cause of all this stuff. Whatever's good, whatever's bad, every single thing in your life — it's you. At the end of your life, you will wonder why you didn't focus on what was important to you a whole lot sooner. Scott's Three-Step Approach Look in the mirror and admit you're the cause of the craziness, the fires, and the focus problems in your life. Once you own that, get quiet and identify the one important thing buried deep down that actually matters to you. Zero in on that one important thing, ignore distractions, and always return your focus when you drift.

Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Getting hired is only the beginning. In this episode, Nole and Kevin pull back the curtain on the "paramilitary" traditions and unwritten rules that define a successful probationary year. This isn't about what's in the manual—it's about the grit, etiquette, and mindset required to earn your place in the firehouse. From the "ninja entry" at 0600 to the humility of being the first to volunteer for a drill, we discuss how to build a reputation that lasts a career.
