He runs twice as far as you walk ... and he does it barefoot. Taking care of your bird dog's feet ensures a great day in the field and a long, problem-free season. I'll share advice from veterinarians and my own and friends' experience preparing our dog's feet for hunting season. I'll offer my personal perspective on "toughening" pads, and what to use for "boots." And once you're out there, I'll outline some things you should do before, during and after the hunt to keep him firing on all eight cylinders and all four paws. Identifying injuries, when to call it a day, what to watch for, how to fix common problems are all on the table. We'll talk about keeping pads supple, nail trimming, and more. Viewers and listeners share the mileage they'll drive on their first-day-of-the-season hunt, and "Fix It" shows you where to look if you want to hit more birds in the field.  And it's all brought to you by: Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, CableGangz, TrulockChokes, Pointer shotguns, USA Clay Target League, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.

Every year, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference introduces updates that ripple through the App Store economy for years to come. In this special post-WWDC edition of Sub Club Live, host David Barnard sits down with RevenueCat developer advocate Charlie Chapman and world-renowned growth expert Thomas Petit to cut through the keynote hype. Together, they analyze the technical realities and strategic implications of the biggest announcements coming out of Apple Park.Rather than offering a generic recap of consumer features, the panel focuses entirely on the practical mechanics that impact subscription app growth, retention, and monetization. From the deprecation of SiriKit in favor of mandatory App Intents to the introduction of App Store Creative Assets and new subscription bundling options, this session provides a clear roadmap of what subscription businesses should test immediately, adopt eventually, or safely ignore.More content from the RevenueCat family:

I spoke to Sean Geobey, associate professor at the University of Waterloo and Director of Groupthink Labs, about collective intelligence, cooperative economics, and what decentralized technology could actually offer the solidarity economy.We dig into how collective intelligence works at scale, from participatory budgeting experiments in Kitchener to the structural barriers that make setting up a cooperative three times harder than incorporating a business. We also get into the limits of GDP as a measure of anything meaningful, why the left's taboo around finance is a form of unilateral disarmament, and how speculative finance has become the shortest-term thinking industry on the planet while performing the same planning function as the old Soviet Politburo. Sean also looks at Bread Cooperative (a worker cooperative I founded) and where the real bottlenecks are for Web3 to serve collective action rather than undermine it.If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Data scientists are trained to work with large datasets. But the decisions that truly make or break an organisation are rarely the ones with large datasets behind them. They are the high-stakes, one-off decisions made under significant uncertainty - and most data scientists have no framework for handling them.In this episode, Douglas Hubbard joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to share how combining techniques from statistics, economics and decision theory can help data scientists tackle the problems that matter most.In this episode, you'll discover:What Applied Information Economics is and how it works in practice [03:17]Why organisations are systematically measuring the wrong things [09:23]How the Lens Model can make expert judgment more reliable than the expert themselves [13:44]How AI can turbocharge the Applied Information Economics approach [21:10]Guest BioDouglas Hubbard is the founder and president of Hubbard Decision Research and the creator of Applied Information Economics.

From the deep woods to the dusty desert, Mark Nissen knows game birds. Orvis-endorsed guide of the year, he and his Classic Bird Hunts outfitting team chases ruffies, woodcock, and all three desert quail in Wisconsin and Arizona. In our wide-ranging chat, Mark covers best habitat, bird behavior, and relates an inspiring highlight from last season.  We also talk strategies for elusive scaled quail, shooting advice for grouse hunters, and helping your dog adjust to a new type of cover and bird species.

Mark will tell us. Shopping for a good guide? He'll have tips. What essential aren't you carrying in your vest? He's got a suggestion.  You'll enjoy every aspect of this motivating conversation with a sincere, knowledgeable pro whose goal in life is ensuring we have a good time on a hunt.

Have you ever found yourself wondering why your business isn't growing faster? You're showing up. You're being faithful. You're creating content. You're refining your offer. Maybe you've even rebuilt your sales page three times, and you're still asking yourself, "God, am I doing the right thing?" Friend, I've been there. And what if the delay isn't because God isn't listening? What if He's preparing something in you before He sends the clients you've been praying for? In today's episode, we're having an honest conversation about growth, readiness, and the deeper work God often does behind the scenes before He expands our influence. Because while it's easy to focus on the clients we don't have yet, God is often focused on who we're becoming while we wait. We'll talk about why it's important to pray for the clients you haven't met yet, how to shift your perspective from "What can this business do for me?" to "How can I serve the people God is sending me?" and why some seasons of slow growth may actually be God's grace at work in your life. I'll also walk you through my simple four-part R.E.A.D. check, a practical self-assessment to help you discern whether you're truly ready for the next level of growth you're asking God for. If you've been feeling discouraged, questioning the process, or wondering why the breakthrough hasn't happened yet, this episode will encourage your heart and give you a practical action plan you can start implementing this week. Because I believe God hears every prayer you've prayed over your business. I believe He's in this with you. And I believe there may be a very specific reason He's waiting before He sends what you've been asking for. I pray this blesses you!

Over the past 12 months, Wests Tigers has achieved a feat that is more than admirable - a 50% win record. But while that's a really solid base to build on, what exactly do we need to do to take a big step up to being a team that wins most weeks?On this big midweek edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Josh and Jordan to discuss that very topic. Each of the boys gives their opinion on how that big step can be taken by the club and team. Got a thought on that? Did we miss something? Feel free to leave a comment, or join in the discussion on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.Also on this edition, Jordan shares his thoughts on the six-point win over the Bulldogs, and we have an injury update too, with one Wests Tigers star player expected back much sooner than we thought.The news is not so good for Alex Twal, though; the big fella is going to be sidelined for up to six weeks. How will losing Twal affect us? And does it give us the chance to tweak the way we play, having someone else at lock?And the future and career of Latu Fainu is also up for discussion, with Joel asking: are we ruining his development by using him as a Mr. Fix-It at this early stage in his career?Finally, attention turns to our big match this Sunday against the Panthers at CommBank Stadium in Parramatta. Are we any hope against a side that will start as red-hot favourites? At least two members of the podcast team are feeling an upset is on the cards.We hope you enjoy this latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, and we look forward to bringing you a post-match edition following the clash with Penrith. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

Orvis-endorsed guide Michael Browning of Grouse Haven Wing-Shooting takes us into the Maine woods for a tutorial on all things ruffies and timberdoodles. From the birds' daily schedule to good habitat types, he's got decades of experience in the deep woods. Well, not so deep. That's one thing we'll learn about habitat. We also explore how to handle our dogs in the forest, being a good guide client, bird behavior, finding public ground, and get a few dog-training insights. "Fix It" reminds us of another important date for walk-in hunters, and listeners share their "lightbulb people" ... the ones who started their bird-hunting adventure and why.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Sammy Mattingly and Fred Ott are back for the finale of their two-part conversation with host Michael Palmer. Where Part 1 covered the leap into bookkeeping entrepreneurship, Part 2 gets into the gritty, practical work of making a young firm sustainable — documenting processes, surviving the first real growth wave, hiring employee number one, and deciding what kind of business they actually want to build. Chapters [00:00] Introduction and Episode Recap [01:18] What Makes This Partnership Work [04:30] Growth Wave Exposes System Gaps [07:00] Hiring the First Employee [09:00] Fixing Onboarding the Right Way [12:00] Joining Pure Bookkeeping and Freedom Gateway [15:30] Walls Hit and Lessons Learned [18:30] Long-Term Vision and the Journey [21:30] The 'How to Make a Few Thousand Dollars' Podcast The Partnership Advantage One of the quieter themes running through this episode is just how much the partnership itself has been a growth tool. Sammy puts it plainly: "Fred is the only one of my friends that I could do this with — and it's mostly down to that accountability piece and the amount of work that each of us is going to put into this." For bookkeepers considering a partner arrangement, this episode is a useful reality check on what makes it work — shared drive, mutual trust, and complementary skill sets — and what makes it hard. When Clients Arrive Faster Than Your Systems The real test of any process is live clients. Sammy and Fred thought their systems were solid after months of heavy networking. Then the referrals started rolling in, and the cracks showed fast. "We quickly realized our systems and our processes are not what we need to be able to support the growth that we have now and that we want in the future," Fred says. Their response was to pull back from networking temporarily, sit down together, and map out standard operating procedures from scratch — building workflows, identifying automation opportunities, and stress-testing everything against real client volume. Onboarding: Break It, Fix It, Repeat Onboarding was the first thing to crack under pressure. Rather than patching it on the fly, Sammy and Fred blocked a Saturday, mapped every pain point, and rebuilt it. When the next wave of clients came through a month later, the process was smooth — but it surfaced a new set of smaller issues. "There's always something rolling onto the pocket of like, okay, here's an issue with our process," Sammy says. "Now we need to set aside time to work together to map out how to fix that and how to implement it." That cycle of deliberate improvement is now a permanent feature of how they run the business. Pure Bookkeeping and the Freedom Gateway Sammy credits early podcast listening for pointing him toward Pure Bookkeeping, and describes the decision to join as straightforward once the need for a real system became obvious. What stood out most was the access to experienced guidance: "Having an hour with Lisa Campbell a week, someone who's done it, who's built a very successful firm — she was great in just helping us learn and develop and how to work on the business." They also appreciated that the system is customizable — their Pure and Pixie setup reflects their firm, not a template. Building Toward Something (Without Telling Everyone What It Is) When Michael asks about the long-term vision, neither Sammy nor Fred throws out a revenue number — and Michael approves. Fred frames it well: "Like we want to grow and do all these things, but ultimately the day-to-day — we want the day-to-day to be enjoyable. We like challenging ourselves, we're curious people, and we like learning." They're also currently working through Traction by Gino Wickman and have launched their own podcast, How to Make a Few Thousand Dollars, which earned an early shoutout from the entrepreneur who inspired the name.

Friends since high school, they made the jump from W-2 employment to entrepreneurship together and are now navigating their first year of real scale — with their first employee, a growing client roster, and a podcast of their own. About the hostMichael PalmerMichael Palmer is the host of The Successful Bookkeeper podcast and co-founder of Pure Bookkeeping and The Successful Bookkeeper. He started this work because of his father — a brilliant electrical contractor who worked twice as hard as he should have had to, because nobody on the financial side was in his corner. That gap is what The Successful Bookkeeper exists to close. His view: bookkeepers are the most undervalued force in small business — and every bookkeeper who builds a real business changes two families: theirs, and their clients'.

Orvis-endorsed bird hunting guide Ryan Aune of Wyoming Wings & Waters knows wild birds, and he really knows Wyoming wingshooting. He guides clients on a mixed bag of prairie and forest grouse, Huns, and pheasants in the Cowboy State and knows how to find public-access bird hunting spots. Twice a finalist for Orvis Wingshooting Guide of the Year, this guy scouts deep in the boondocks to find unmolested birds, and we can all learn from his experience when we seek new birds on new ground. We'll cover everything from food sources to habitat requirements, handling dogs on hinky birds and early steadiness training. We cover finding birdy spots, essential habitat components, and even wax philosophically about why we hunt. We delve deep into bird behavior and what makes good cover for all the bird species he hunts. We'll touch on essential gear, best practices when approaching a pointed dog, and handling running birds. "Fix It" has a suggestion for coping with public access spots that have been hammered, and listeners share their pup's first bird stories.  And it's all brought to you by: Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, CableGangz, TrulockChokes, ClayCopter, USA Clay Target League, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.

I spoke to Evan Miyazono, founder of Atlas Computing, about the neglected risks of advanced AI and what it would actually take to govern it.We dig into the threats he thinks aren't getting enough attention, from asymmetrically offensive cyber capabilities and economic disruption to what he calls the "intelligence curse," a dynamic where governments lose any incentive to invest in their populations once labor becomes synthetic. We also get into formal verification as a framework for AI governance, why consensus and agreement become scarcer as intelligence gets cheaper, and where blockchains might actually fit into that picture in ways that have nothing to do with libertarian fantasy.This episode is sponsored by NYM, the world's most private VPN.

He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well,actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first,John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds, and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn't have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.

If you're in search of new bird hunting ground, I've got a panel for you from the departments that acquire and manage the walk-in programs in three bird-rich states. Wes Sowards of Kansas, Michael Peyton of South Dakota and Greg Lemon of Montana offer their tips on how their programs work for wingshooting, and more importantly, how to take full advantage of them. We talk about how land is acquired and managed, why ground-truthing is critical, who pays for the walk-in programs, each state's quirks, and how to maximize your time and effort by finding less-hammered ground. They'll give you some starting points in their state for several bird species, and each guest also offers a tip and some helpful hacks that could help you find more birds next season while avoiding the crowds. After that, it's up to you. "Fix It" helps you introduce nail clipping to your new pup, and listeners offer advice on introducing gun fire to a young dog.

What if the reason you keep getting injured isn't because you're running too much, but because you're only training half of the machine that makes you a stronger runner?If you've been piling on miles but still getting injured, plateauing, or wondering why race day feels harder than it should, this episode will change the way you think about training. I break down the two systems that drive every runner's performance: the cardiovascular engine that powers your endurance and the musculoskeletal engine that keeps your body strong enough to handle the workload. You'll learn why running alone is not enough, how strength training and speed work fit into the bigger picture, and a simple “mixing board” framework you can use to balance every part of your training without overcomplicating your week.Key TakeawaysTrain Both Engines: Your fitness depends on both your cardiovascular system and your muscles, bones, and tendons. Neglect either one, and your progress will suffer.Running Alone Isn't Enough: Running builds endurance, but strength training builds durability. You need both to stay injury-free.Adjust Your Training Over Time: The right mix of easy runs, hard workouts, and strength work changes throughout the year based on your goals.Timestamps[00:32] What You'll Learn[01:24] The Two Engines Overview[03:26] Cardiovascular Engine: Aerobic Base (Zone 2)[04:50] Do This to Train All the Zones and Get Faster[05:34] Cardiovascular Engine: VO2 Max[07:08] Cardiovascular Engine: Anaerobic[08:18] Musculoskeletal Engine: The One Runners Ignore[13:41] The 2 System Crossover[15:39] Do This to Help Another Runner[16:23] The Mixing Board[22:16] Use This to Improve Your CadenceLinks & Learnings

Why doesn't success feel the way I thought it would?  You've worked hard, hit the goals, built the life. So why does something still feel… off?

What happens when a story needs something to happen… so the character suddenly stops thinking?In this episode of The Storyteller's Mission, we examine a common storytelling failure: when plot demands override character integrity.From Alex Rider to Sherlock to Game of Thrones, we explore why intelligent characters suddenly make unbelievable decisions—and why audiences immediately feel that something is off.This episode breaks down the difference between tension and frustration, how writers unintentionally manipulate character behavior, and what to do instead.Because when characters stop acting like themselves, the audience stops believing the story.Watch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

I spoke to Scoopy Trooples, the pseudonymous co-founder of Alchemix, about self-repaying loans, the wreckage of DeFi scams, and what ethical crypto finance could actually look like.We dig into how Alchemix works, allowing your debt pays itself off over time and what's new in V3. We also get into the broader rot in the space: meme coin pump-and-dumps, celebrity rug pulls, prediction market gambling, and how DeFi summer's promise curdled into financial nihilism. Scoopy is one of the rare crypto founders willing to say the quiet part loud,  that most of what gets built in this space is zero-sum at best and predatory at worst, and has been trying to build something different since day one.This episode is sponsored by NYM, the world's most private VPN.

Episode 339 of The Business Development Podcast breaks down The Ten Follow Up Rule, Kelly Kennedy's personal standard for building real pipeline through consistent, disciplined business development. Kelly shares why most sales and BD professionals stop far too early, how fear of rejection and lack of structure kill opportunities, and why every qualified prospect deserves at least ten follow-ups before being disqualified.Through real stories, including the time it took thirty follow-ups to book a major mining meeting, Kelly shows that success in business development is rarely about talent alone. It comes from weekly execution, CRM discipline, clear next steps, performance tracking, and the willingness to keep showing up long after most people quit.Key Takeaways: Most salespeople quit the follow-up process far too early to ever see real results.Consistent weekly follow-up is one of the biggest separators between average and exceptional business development professionals.Fear of rejection causes more lost opportunities than lack of skill.Buyers are usually overwhelmed and distracted, not intentionally ignoring you.A CRM is not just a contact database. It is your business development execution engine.If there is no defined next step, there is no real opportunity.Strong follow-up comes from clarity and structure, not confidence alone.Emotional avoidance often disguises itself as “being busy” with lower-value work.Tracking outreach, meetings, opportunities, and new contacts weekly creates accountability and long-term improvement.The professionals who stay in the game through follow-up number ten consistently create more opportunities than the people who stop after one or two attempts.Sponsor MentionsA huge thank you to Colin Harms and Jamie Crozier for their steadfast support of The Business Development Podcast.The Business Development Podcast is proudly supported by Hypervac Technologies, Hyperfab, Thunder Bay Hydraulics Inc., and Atlas Elite Lifts.Hypervac TechnologiesNorth America's leader in vacuum truck manufacturing, building high-performance hydrovac and industrial vacuum trucks for the toughest field conditions.www.hypervac.comHyperfabThe custom fabrication division of Hypervac, delivering engineered solutions and specialized builds for demanding industrial applications.www.hyperfab.caThunder Bay Hydraulics Inc.A trusted provider of hydraulic cylinder repair and manufacturing, supporting mining, forestry, construction, and industrial operations with reliable, high-quality service.www.thunderbayhydraulics.comAtlas Elite LiftsA premium supplier of automotive lift systems focused on performance, safety, and long-term reliability for shops and garages.www.atlaselitelifts.comJoin The Catalyst Club CommunityIf you are serious about growth, leadership, and surrounding yourself with high-level thinkers, The Catalyst Club is where you need to be.Join us here: www.kellykennedyofficial.com/thecatalystclubStatistics referenced in this episode were sourced from the following article by MarketsandMarkets:“Why Sales Reps Stop Following Up and How to Fix It”https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/AI-sales/why-sales-reps-stop-following-up-how-to-fix-itMentioned in this episode:Hypervac - Revolution Vacuums

What happens when a commercial electrician realizes being “busy” isn't the same as being profitable?In this episode of The Million Dollar Electrician Podcast, we sit down with Kevin Locklear, owner of the newly rebranded Powerplay Electric, to unpack his transition from commercial projects and new construction into premium residential service.After spending over 20 years in the electrical trade and crossing the seven-figure mark in commercial work, Kevin found himself dealing with delayed payments, high pressure from general contractors, and little gratification from the work itself. Despite wiring 45 custom homes, profitability and sustainability were still missing.Then everything changed.Kevin shares how shifting into residential service and implementing structured presentation processes, premium options, and customer-focused systems transformed both his business and mindset.Inside this episode:- Why commercial work left Kevin burned out- The dangerous “Mr. Fix-It” mindset hurting electricians- How one service call turned from a $2,500 job into a $9,000 sale- The systems that helped increase ticket averages and customer trust- Why homeowners value safety and confidence more than “cheap”- Lessons learned from costly mistakes and early business struggles- The rebrand from Tri-L Electric to Powerplay Electric- Kevin's vision to build a premium, process-driven service companyKevin also opens up about starting over at 44, learning how to become a true business owner, and why implementation, not information, is what changes lives and businesses.If you're an electrician stuck grinding through low-ticket work, struggling with profitability, or trying to build a business that actually feels sustainable, this episode will hit home.Key Moments- Transitioning from commercial projects to residential service- The $7,500 mistake that exposed weak systems- The first “Good, Better, Best” presentation that changed everything- Building trust through premium service and safety- Closing $44K in two weeks after returning to the field- Why branding and customer perception matter- Creating a sustainable electrical business for the futureConnect with Kevin Locklear⚡ Powerplay Electric (formerly Tri-L Electric)

The Co-Living Insurance Gap (and How to Fix It) | ft. Matthew OsmanCo-living is growing fast—but insurance hasn't caught up.In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Osman, a co-living realtor and operator who's been working on one of the most overlooked risks in the space: improper insurance coverage.Most operators assume they're covered under standard landlord policies. But once you go beyond 4 unrelated tenants, you may be operating in a gray area, or worse, completely exposed.We break down what's really happening behind the scenes and what you should be doing instead.What We Cover: Why co-living doesn't fit traditional insurance models  The risk of having 5+ unrelated tenants under one policy  Common scenarios where claims get delayed or denied  How commercial-style co-living insurance works  When to switch from landlord policy to co-living coverage  How to think about insurance as you scale your portfolio Why This Matters:If you're making co-living-level income, you need co-living-level protection. This episode gives you a clearer path to protecting both your property and your business.
