Ask a question hereThis week on Mondays Down Under, Lee Salisbury—the Pool Shop Coach—and Nick tackle a question every pool business owner should ask: Are you actually running your business, or are you simply reacting to whichever fire is burning hottest today?Lee introduces her new Business Balance Check, a free assessment designed specifically to identify the areas of your business that need attention most. It examines ten critical areas—including branding, communication, team culture, safety, policies and procedures, and employee autonomy—before revealing whether you're currently operating as the Firefighter, the Glue, the Foreman, or the Owner.Lee and Nick also discuss:Why procedures sitting unread in a binder are nothing more than expensive pieces of paperThe importance of teaching employees the what, how, and whyHow small, one-percent improvements can transform a businessWhy great ideas collected at conferences rarely survive the trip homeHow a coach or mentor creates accountability and turns intention into actionUsing AI to streamline spreadsheets, emails, administration, and repetitive tasksWhy obviously AI-generated advertising can destroy customer trustThe danger of letting software replace genuine technical knowledge and judgmentWhy pool professionals must understand the story behind the water-test resultsCustomers who create a chemical catastrophe—and conveniently forget to mention what they addedThe importance of consistent branding and customer experiences across every touchpointThe episode also includes coverage from SPLASH 2026, featuring new chlorination and pool-control technology from Fluidra, along with commercial salt chlorination, ozone, UV, and advanced oxidation systems from Brauer.And, because no pool-industry episode would be complete without a customer turning a manageable problem into a full-blown aquatic crime scene, Nick shares what happened when someone accidentally dumped approximately eight kilograms of chlorine remover into a 70,000-liter indoor pool—and then attempted to fix it with liquid chlorine and stabilized chlorine.Take the Free Business Balance CheckFind out whether you're operating as the Firefighter, the Glue, the Foreman, or the Owner:The Pool Shop Coach's Business Balance CheckHave a question or topic suggestion for Mondays Down Under?

Mindset Coach Taylor Foreman brings us a message to encourage our mindsets entitled "Confident, Secure and Safe"!

In this message Pastor Jason explores 2 Samuel 9 and the powerful story of King David and Mephibosheth. Examining the radical kindness and covenant love David extends to the line of Saul, we see a picture of how God's grace operates in our own lives. Though Mephibosheth had no claim or standing at the royal table, David proactively sought him out, restored his inheritance, and invited him to dine at the king's table continuously. This sermon reminds us that despite our spiritual brokenness and shortcomings, God extends an invitation for us to take a seat at His table through His steadfast love and grace.(00:00) - Introduction & Context of 2 Samuel 9 (01:40) - Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 9 (05:11) - Mephibosheth Didn't Belong at the Table (10:17) - Proactive & Radical Love (16:52) - We Are Mephibosheth (25:42) - A Seat at the Lord's Table (27:11) - Taking a Humble Posture Before God (29:23) - Rejoicing in the Lord's Provision (33:01) - Inviting Others to the Table (36:20) - Invitation & Preparation for Communion  David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of GodDavid is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God's own heart. But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance. In this series, we'll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored. Series Memory Verse – Psalm 63:1"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."Pastor Jason Foreman preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

Cam Cooksey is running on low energy and coffee (with Good Brew stirred in) after a week of manual labor, but the good vibes build as the show goes. The big personal moment: Cam and Jackie saw President Trump in person in Marietta, Georgia, at a rally for Georgia Republican candidates, and Cam shares what that was like from the floor. From there it's his usual walk through Trump's Truth Social, with his signature positive spin and plenty of tangents. Expect Dover Air Force Base honoring fallen heroes, peace through strength, the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian oil money, and a rabbit hole into the Dulles brothers and CIA history. He touches Canada trade drama, a Putin delineation, and closes with a nostalgic Ali versus Foreman clip Trump posted, unpacking what he thinks it signals. Faith, freedom, and coexistence anchor it all. More funny X finds promised next week.

One of my favorite movies is Twelve Angry Men. The original was made in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, then it was remade for TV in 1997 starring Jack Lemmon. It's a true-crime courtroom drama, but most of the action takes place in the jury deliberation room for a murder trial. I think both versions are pretty good. But we know how Hollywood likes to play up the drama and the theatrics, and what we see on the screen is entertaining, but not always very accurate. Wouldn't it be interesting to know what it's like to actually be on a jury for a murder trial? That's what my guest today, Jami, is going to talk about. She was actually the jury foreman. Jami told this story here on the podcast about 4 years ago, and it was a really popular episode. She's a great storyteller and I think you'll enjoy hearing all the behind-the-scenes details about being on a jury for a major case – and how this experience inspired her to start her OWN true crime podcast.

Mindset Coach Taylor Foreman discusses the importance of being aware of your limitations!

(This episode originally aired on July 8, 2025.)Nic tricks his new son-in-law, Micah Graf, to join him on podcast. He opens the conversation with a question, “What are your intentions with my daughter?” They talk about farming in western Oklahoma, which includes scaring up wild pigs.

Check out the mile-long, 100 bushel corn harvest while a storm rolls in here.Micah's brother (Instagram: @That_Gun_Guy) got him started using thermals for rifle shooting and is on the Pulsar Pro Staff. Oklahoma farming often requires shooting pigs and coyotes, what Nic comments “thin them out.”Nic asks him, “What do you think will be the biggest challenge of married life?” Micah says it'll be his work schedule as a farmer and all the hours involved. Nic shared some Nic Bittle Crap with Micah when he asked permission to marry Elle. He said, “My family isn't getting bigger. You're creating a new family and that comes first. You got to have the courage to say no.” If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

PseudoPod 1029: Feeding the Choke-Tree is a PseudoPod original. Okja “Straws,” I said. “Why straws?” “Because they're cute, obviously,” said Foreman. “Don't you think?” I squinted at them. Nearly a dozen were inching around his feet. As I watched, one flopped onto his boot, looking like a second shoelace. I guessed you could have called them cute—if you happened to be… Source
