Episode SummaryDan opens with something that might ruffle a few feathers: gray exterior paint has had a long run, and it's starting to show. He talks about where the design world seems to be heading instead. Then he takes a detour into the surprisingly long and interesting story of how the tape measure came to be. From there, he walks through six practical budgeting tips for anyone with a renovation project on the horizon. And he closes out with a solid how-to on painting a front door, including one trick most people don't know that can save you from a really frustrating result.In This Episode[00:00] -- Is Gray Going Out? Exterior Color Trends Right Now[05:27] -- The Surprisingly Long History of the Tape Measure[18:43] -- Six Budgeting Tips to Keep Your Renovation on Track[34:30] -- How to Paint Your Front Door the Right WaySegment 1: Is Gray Going Out? Exterior Color Trends Right Now [00:00]Why Gray Took Over [00:50]Dan opens with a mild provocation: if you're thinking about painting the exterior of your home this year, gray might not be the move it used to be. Not because it looks bad -- it doesn't -- but because it's become the default. Drive through almost any subdivision built or updated in the last decade and you're looking at gray on gray on gray. When a color gets that ubiquitous, it stops signaling that someone made a deliberate choice. It just signals that someone painted a house.Gray came in as a reaction to the builder-beige era, and when it first appeared it really did look sharp. The modern farmhouse look, black window frames, white trim -- it all worked beautifully together. It still does. But a decade is a long time to run on the same palette, and a lot of homeowners are starting to feel like their neighborhood looks a little sterile. A little samey.What's Taking Its Place [02:42]The shift that's showing up in paint stores and design forecasts is toward colors that feel connected to the natural world around them. Warm greens, muted sage tones, earthy olives, sandy neutrals, warm taupes, creamy whites, and greige (the gray-beige hybrid) are all gaining ground. These aren't colors that scream for attention, but they don't disappear either. They feel settled. They feel like they belong to the land around them -- to wood and stone and brick and landscaping.Importantly, a lot of these same tones are showing up in interior color forecasts too, which makes sense. They're grounded, natural colors that work in a lot of contexts.The short version for anyone thinking about an exterior project this year: the design world is starting to say "maybe try something warmer." Cool, flat gray has had its moment.Dan's first rule of color still applies, though: if you like it, that's pretty much all that matters.Getting Help Choosing an Exterior Color [04:15]Picking a specific exterior color involves a lot of variables -- roof color, brick or stone if you have it, how much sun the house gets, which direction it faces. RepcoLite color consultants can help in store based on photos you bring in. Some will come out to the house for a design fee and make recommendations in person. Stop into any RepcoLite location to start that conversation, or reach Dan directly at radio@repcolite.com and he'll connect you with the right people.Segment 2: The Surprisingly Long History of the Tape Measure [05:27]Measuring Before Tape Measures [06:10]People have needed to measure things for as long as they've been building things. Early on that meant body parts -- hands, feet, fingers. The Egyptians used cubit rods. Surveyors used rods, cords, and chains, including something called Gunter's chain, which turned out to be less exciting than it sounds: a 66-foot chain made of around 100 links, dragged through farmland and over rocks. Useful, but not exactly something you clip to your belt. Tailors had flexible cloth tapes, but those could stretch, wear out, and absorb moisture, making them fine for measuring shoulders and waistlines but not reliable for repeated job site work.The challenge nobody had fully solved yet: how do you build something flexible enough to coil up for portability, accurate enough to trust, and durable enough for real work?James Chesterman and Spring Steel [09:05]Enter James Chesterman, born in England in the 1790s. He started out making powder flasks in London, which led him deep into the world of small spring-loaded mechanisms. He became fascinated with springs, flex, tension, and controlled energy. He later moved to Sheffield, one of Britain's great steel centers, where he became especially skilled with flat wire and spring steel.Spring steel is one of those materials that does remarkable things quietly. You bend it and it wants to come back. You coil it and it stores energy. You release it and it moves. That basic behavior shows up in clocks, doorbells, umbrellas, window blinds, and eventually in measuring tapes.One of Chesterman's applications for spring steel was crinoline frames, the steel-hooped undergarments that gave Victorian women that famous bell-shaped silhouette. Before spring steel frames, achieving that shape meant layers and layers of heavy petticoats. Chesterman's spring steel cage was lightweight, bendable when the wearer sat or moved, and then it would spring back into shape. Fashion application, yes, but also real engineering.The Crinoline Myth and What Actually Happened [11:50]There's a popular story that says Chesterman invented the tape measure because the crinoline craze died out and he was left with warehouses full of flat spring steel wire and needed something to do with it. It's a neat story. Dan admits he started researching this segment specifically because of that story.The problem is the timing doesn't hold up. The steel-frame crinoline became a major fashion item in the 1850s, but records show Chesterman was already working on steel measuring tapes as early as 1829. So the better version of the story is this: Chesterman was deep into spring steel and flat wire well before crinolines became fashionable, and those same skills turned out to be valuable during the crinoline boom. When fashions changed and that market faded, the same flat steel technology was redirected back into tools -- especially longer steel tapes for surveyors and engineers. His steel measuring chain improved on Gunter's design by using flat spring steel tape instead of links, jointed in 20-foot sections, markable with measurements, and rollable into a compact leather case.It was more portable than anything before it. But it still wasn't the modern tape measure.The Tape Measure Becomes What We Know [14:08]The next big leap came in America in 1864 when William Bangs Jr. patented a spring-return tape measure. Pull the tape out, take your measurement, let go, and the spring winds it back into the case. Useful -- and almost certainly the cause of more than a few pinched fingers.A few years after that, Alvin Fellows improved on the idea by adding a spring click that could hold the tape in place. Now it would lock in and stay instead of immediately retracting.Then in 1922, Hiram Ferrand solved one of the last big problems. A flat strip of steel will bend under its own weight the moment you extend it into the air. Ferrand changed the shape of the blade by curving it across its width -- concave on one side, convex on the other. That shallow curve gave the tape stiffness and let it extend several feet without collapsing.Stanley Company took all of these ideas and put them together into what we think of as the modern tape measure. They moved to a flatter, more squared-off case (which made inside measurements much easier), added the floating hook on the end (which slides slightly to compensate for its own thickness -- if your hook looks a little loose, that's intentional, not a defect), and stamped the case length right on the tool so you can push the back of the case against a surface and add that number to your tape reading without bending it into corners.In 1956, Stanley combined the curved blade with a retracting spring, which they describe as the point the first modern coilable and retractable tape measure was born. In 1963 they introduced the PowerLock -- molded case, thumb lock, yellow blade, sliding hook, one-handed convenience -- and when that patent expired, the PowerLock became one of the most copied tape measure designs in history. The one in your junk drawer is almost certainly descended from it.Segment 3: Six Budgeting Tips to Keep Your Renovation on Track [18:43]Home projects have a way of getting away from people. The obvious costs are easy enough to plan for. It's the stuff around the edges -- broken things, things you had to rebuy, delivery fees, disposal, unexpected problems behind the drywall -- that can quietly blow a budget wide open. Dan runs through six tips for thinking about money before the project starts so you're not scrambling once it's underway.Tip 1: Budget for What You Actually Want [20:45]Most people get this backwards. They pick a number first -- "we want to spend $20,000 on the kitchen" -- and then try to force the project into it. Once the work starts, they realize the kitchen they actually want costs $27,000, and now they're stuck making compromises under pressure.Flip it around. Start by being honest about what you actually want: the scope, the materials, the finish level you're expecting. Price that out as realistically as you can. Then work with the number you get. If it's too high, you can still make cuts, but you do it intentionally before the project starts...

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, David Khim sits down with Johann Wrede, Global CMO at UserTesting, to explore how AI is reshaping brand perception, the role of the modern CMO, and why truly customer-centric marketing still comes down to diet and exercise. They discuss why AI has become the new front door to brands — compressing and abstracting how companies are perceived before a human ever visits their site — and how marketers can influence (but never fully control) that narrative. Johann also shares his philosophy on solution marketing over product marketing, the big bets he's making on in-person events, and how he's building agentic marketing workflows to give his team better first drafts without replacing their judgment. Key Takeaways: AI has become the new front door to brands, compressing and abstracting brand identity before a prospect ever reaches your website — and marketers can influence this but not control it. Semantic pre-compression — stripping fluff and using single, precise descriptors — is the most practical way to influence how LLMs represent your brand. Brand consistency across every customer touchpoint (marketing, sales, support, product) is the only durable lever marketers have in an AI-driven world. The CMO's role is not just pipeline — it's stewarding how the market understands the company across the entire customer journey, including post-sale. Solution marketing outperforms product marketing because people spend money to solve problems, not to add tools to their stack. Listening to sales calls is still the most underutilized source of messaging, positioning, and prompt-tracking insight available to marketing teams. Agentic marketing workflows — chaining copywriter, persona, humanizer, and CRO agents — can dramatically improve first-draft quality before a human ever reviews the output. The workplace is shifting from knowledge work to thought work: the value is no longer what you know but how creatively and critically you can think through problems.

Ahead of Sustainable House Day, Helen Oakey, CEO from Renew explains how Australians are retrofitting, electrifying and rethinking the places they live. What began more than 40 years ago as a niche showcase for solar homes has evolved into a nationwide snapshot of the energy transition playing out in real houses, apartments and renovations around the country. With ageing housing stock leaving many Australians too hot in summer, too cold in winter and burdened by rising energy bills, more households are pursuing homes that are healthier, more comfortable, cheaper to run and more resilient. From insulation and draught-proofing to heat pumps, batteries and all-electric upgrades, Sustainable House Day gives people a chance to see what these changes look like in practice — and ask householders what's genuinely worked, what hasn't, and what they'd do differently.
A Note from James:Imagine going on Shark Tank in front of Mark Cuban, Mr. Wonderful, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, and the rest of the Sharks. You're offering 10% of your business for $700,000, which values the company at $7 million. They all say no. Then, a few years later, Amazon buys your company for a billion dollars.That's gotta feel really good, and that's the experience of our next guest, Jamie Siminoff.Jamie built the company behind the video doorbell that lets you see who's at your door—Ring—and helped turn a simple household object into a home security platform. He went on Shark Tank in 2013, didn't get a deal, kept building anyway, and eventually sold Ring to Amazon.Jamie has a book coming out right now called Ding Dong: How Ring Went from Shark Tank Reject to Everyone's Front Door. What really impressed me about Jamie was the simplicity of all his business ideas, since this was his fourth business. A doorbell you can answer from your phone. A way to turn voicemail into text. A tool to unsubscribe from unwanted emails. The kind of ideas that make people say, “Someone must have already done that.” But we talk about this very thing and how critical it is for entrepreneurs to get over these feelings of like, "Oh, I can't do that." That's the lesson. Sometimes the obvious problem is still unsolved. And sometimes the person who wins is the one naive enough—or stubborn enough—to fix it anyway. Episode Description:James sits down with Ring founder Jamie Siminoff to talk about one of the great modern startup stories: a rejected Shark Tank pitch, a product investors dismissed as “just a doorbell,” and an eventual billion-dollar acquisition by Amazon. But the episode is not just about the sale. It's about how entrepreneurs see problems before markets know what to call them.Jamie explains why investors misunderstood Ring at first. They looked at it as a doorbell business, not a home security company. That framing made the market look tiny. But customers were already showing something different: they wanted to know who was at the door, feel safer, and use video in a new way around the home.The conversation also moves into Jamie's earlier companies, including PhoneTag and Unsubscribe.com, and what those taught him about declining markets, customer behavior, and the difference between a clever product and a durable business. From there, James and Jamie talk about AI, why software is easier to build than ever, why that does not make startups easy, and why simple pain points still matter.What makes this episode useful is Jamie's clarity: don't start with the technology. Start with the problem. If something is broken, fix it. And don't automatically assume that because an idea sounds obvious, someone has already solved it well.What You'll Learn:Why Ring looked like a tiny doorbell business to investors—but became a massive home security company.What Jamie learned from being rejected on Shark Tank while already showing real sales traction.Why simple ideas are often dismissed precisely because they seem too obvious.The difference between being an “inventor entrepreneur” and a market-first operator.Why declining markets can make even beloved products hard to scale.How AI changes the cost of building software, but not the difficulty of building a valuable business.Why Jamie believes entrepreneurs should focus on problems and solutions, not technology for its own sake.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Jamie on why a doorbell sounded like a “steam engine” idea[02:39] A Note from James: from Shark Tank rejection to Amazon acquisition[04:03] What Jamie does now inside Amazon[04:32] Looking back at the Shark Tank pitch[05:51] Why the Sharks misunderstood Ring's market[06:44] Doorbell company or security company?[07:45] Why obvious ideas are hard to see in real time[08:22] The objections investors kept raising[10:10] Simple ideas, doubt, and the fear that “someone already did this”[10:50] The hardest period after Shark Tank[11:43] PhoneTag and the voicemail-to-text opportunity[12:31] Why declining markets are hard businesses[13:16] Building products you personally want to use[14:00] Jamie as an inventor entrepreneur[14:33] Unsubscribe.com and the “gray mail” problem[16:27] The path from earlier startups to Edison Junior[17:05] How Ring came from a garage problem[17:40] Jamie's lifelong habit of fixing what's broken[19:14] Why naivete can be an entrepreneurial advantage[20:19] James and Jamie on Claude Code and AI app-building[21:29] Why AI's “brain” has outrun its scaffolding[22:44] Coding may be easier—but deployment is still clunky[23:37] The future of building apps without seeing the sausage made[26:25] Why Jamie might have sold Ring early for far less[27:52] Hardware is ugly until it gets big[28:47] Why investors are often too early or too late[29:58] OpenAI, Anthropic, and whether AI becomes a commodity[31:48] Why Jamie expects another major AI shift[32:39] What happens when you raise VC money[33:18] Swinging big or dying fast[34:25] Why Amazon bought Ring[35:34] Choosing Amazon instead of an IPO[36:23] How life changed after the sale[37:41] Ring's AI work on lost dogs[39:14] Why people do not always use obvious solutions[40:38] How Ring's lost-dog feature works[41:23] Privacy, consent, and community video[41:45] Fire Watch and using Ring cameras during wildfires[42:57] Why Ring focuses on safer neighborhoods, not cameras[43:48] Building a startup in the AI era[45:03] Why SaaS is not dead[46:10] Where Jamie would look for startup ideas now[47:47] Why people will still pay for useful small software tools[48:23] Ring's app store and the long tail of camera use cases[49:55] Horse monitoring, elder care, and unexpected AI applications[51:41] Shark Tank relationships after the Ring sale[52:29] Jamie's advice for standing out on Shark TankAdditional Resources:Ding Dong: How Ring Went from Shark Tank Reject to Everyone's Front DoorRing official “About” page.Jamie Siminoff's LinkedIn profile.Amazon's article on Ring Search Party for Dogs.Ring Search Party / Fire Watch information page.TechCrunch coverage of Unsubscribe.com.

If you don't guide that moment, someone else will get their attention instead, and they may never hear the episode that would have made them stay.Episode Highlights:[02:13] Spotlight Clip Invite[03:31] New Listener Entry Point[04:46] What Do You Click Next?[07:20] Recommend a Best Episode[09:25] Website as a Home Base[11:10] Sell the Benefit First[13:07] How Listeners Choose Episodes[15:25] Designing Your Front Door[16:47] Pros vs. Casual Listeners[19:28] Define Your Show's Front Door[19:53] Examples: Trailer, Website, CTA[24:58] Website Front Door Setup[25:46] Favorites, Trailer, Landing Page[28:42] Welcome Video Debate[30:02] Autoplay and Video Hosting[31:43] Guided Journeys and Categories[35:10] Platform-Specific Welcome Videos[37:42] Sacred Cows and Feedback Plug[41:14] Pick a Starter Episode[46:29] Premium Content: First Impressions[49:33] Latest Episode Pressure[52:07] Make Entry Points ObviousLinks & Resources:Sid Meadows', "The Trend Report":https://www.sidmeadows.com/podcastYvonne's, Late Bloomer Living podcast:https://www.latebloomerliving.com/ BC Babbles, "Casual Babbles" Podcast:bcbabbles.substack.comTrueFans:https://truefans.fm/Feature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlightThe Podcasting Morning Show:www.podcastingmorningshow.comWays to Watch or Listen: https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:https://podcastingmorningshow.com/peopleJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingBook A Free Call With Marc:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:https://podcastingmorningshow.com/evalJoin us every other Monday at 8 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 8 am ET (US) on Clubhouse: https://podcastingmorningshow.com/clubhouseEPC3 Speaker Application: https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakersPowered by iRonickMedia.com and ContentCreatorsAccountant.comSend in your mailbag questions: https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/ or marc@ironickmedia.comWant to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?

Government agencies, law enforcement, and retail businesses are increasingly making use of surveillance technologies like license plate readers to monitor and track members of the public. While privacy rights advocates critique the way these institutions can abuse the data they're collecting, some individuals opt to use these technologies in their own homes. Producer Ahmed Ashour explores the relationship between immigrants and consumer home surveillance devices like Ring cameras. Do immigrants feel that these technologies keep them safe? And how have attitudes towards these devices changed in recent years?

GAO has flagged fraud risks in federally funded, state‑administered programs for years, from weak data sharing to inconsistent controls. Many of those vulnerabilities persist, not because agencies lack awareness, but because of how responsibility, capacity, and oversight are structured. We'll talk about what prevents known risks from turning into management change with Seto Bagdoyan, director of forensic audits and investigative service at the Government Accountability Office.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Join Dr. Chad Spensky, Founder and CEO of Allthenticate, for a deep dive into the persistent "stupidity" of modern security. Despite billions spent on cybersecurity, 86% of breaches still involve simple credential theft—essentially, hackers just walking through the front door. A former researcher at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and a veteran of world-class hacking competitions, Chad is on a mission to prove that as long as we have passwords and centralized "secrets," we will always have phishing. In this episode, we strip away the marketing fluff to discuss the only permanent fix: a decentralized authentication ecosystem where credentials never leave your hardware.
In episode 4 of the Fraud Watch podcast, Phil Brink sits down with Dale Prax, Strategic Fraud Advisor for Truckstop.com, to break down what's happening behind the scenes as industry leaders head to Washington, DC to meet with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and members of Congress on May 14th. The conversation centers on a core issue driving cargo theft and freight fraud today: identity. It is not a lack of regulation, but a failure to verify who is actually operating inside the system. They discuss how bad actors exploit gaps in onboarding and registration and why enforcement has fallen behind. They also cover what changes could actually make a difference. From stronger identity verification and TWIC requirements to better data sharing across vetting platforms, this episode outlines what real solutions could look like and why this moment matters. If you want to understand where freight fraud starts and what it will take to stop it, this is the conversation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
A new type of cyberattack is bypassing every security tool you've invested in — and it starts with a simple Microsoft Teams message. No malware. No exploit. No zero-day. Just someone pretending to be IT support. At the same time, new data shows 73% of ransomware attacks are now entering through VPNs, and small businesses are absorbing an average of $422,000 per incident. Meanwhile, KPMG just released its 8 cybersecurity priorities for 2026, sending a clear message to executives: the biggest risk isn't technology — it's leadership. On this episode of Security Squawk, Bryan Hornung, Randy Bryan, and Reginald Andre break down three critical developments every business leader needs to understand right now. This Week's Cybersecurity Breakdown 1. Microsoft Teams Hack (UNC6692 Attack Campaign) Hackers are impersonating IT support inside Microsoft Teams to gain access to enterprise environments. No software vulnerability exploited Targets C-suite and senior leadership (77% of victims) Uses legitimate platforms like AWS and Heroku to evade detection 2. VPNs Are Now the Front Door for Ransomware (At-Bay 2026 Report) New insurance data reveals a sharp increase in ransomware attacks targeting VPN infrastructure: 73% of attacks originate through VPNs 60% of victims had EDR deployed — and still got hit SonicWall vulnerabilities linked to a significant percentage of attacks Average loss: $422,000 for SMBs 3. KPMG's 8 Cybersecurity Priorities for 2026 A strategic warning for boards, CEOs, and executives: AI is now an attack surface Non-human identities (APIs, service accounts) are a major blind spot Supply chain attacks are becoming the primary entry point Cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue — it's a leadership responsibility The Bottom Line The biggest cybersecurity gap today isn't technical. It's leadership. You can't patch employee trust You can't rely on tools without oversight You can't delegate cyber risk and expect protection If you're running a business, this is required awareness.

The healthcare industry loses billions to fraud every year and struggles with dangerous patient matching errors. We often treat these as back-office problems to fix later. They are actually severe clinical risks that need immediate attention.Jay Meier, Chief Identity Technology Strategist at FaceTec, joins Healthcare IT Today to discuss the realities of healthcare fraud and duplicate records. He breaks down how relying on basic passwords leaves health systems vulnerable and explains how verifiable human liveness completely changes the equation. You will learn why keeping biometric data out of centralized databases protects patients and how dual verification (different than two-factor authentication) at the point of care can stop phantom claims permanently.

Lost in the Stacks: the Research Library Rock'n'Roll Radio Show
Guest: Heather Jeffcoat, Web and Discovery Management Librarian at the Georgia Tech Library. First broadcast April 3 2026. Transcript at https://hdl.handle.net/1853/81151 Playlist "You ever miss the days when you could change a website just by typing in a few HTML lines?"
Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc are joined by guest co-host Neil Saunders, Managing Director and retail analyst at GlobalData, bringing his signature analytical rigour and on-the-ground store insights to a wide-ranging discussion of the week's biggest retail developments and the future of AI-powered commerce. For our feature interview, Steve sits down live at ShopTalk with Bret Taylor, Chairman of OpenAI and CEO and co-founder of Sierra. Taylor outlines how AI agents are emerging as the new “digital front door” for retail, unifying customer interactions into a single intelligent interface. Bret explains the shift from rule-based automation to agentic systems capable of reasoning and decision-making, enabling retailers to deliver faster, more personalized, and more empathetic experiences. From instant warranty claims to seamless delivery scheduling, AI agents are redefining customer service and turning friction points into loyalty drivers. The episode opens with a reflection on David Simon's impact on Simon Property Group and mall reinvention. Neil and Steve discuss how Simon proved physical retail can remain productive and relevant when well managed. The conversation then turns to Saks Global's decision to reverse several planned store closures, with Steve & Neil highlighting the strategic interplay between retailers and landlords. The group connects this to broader industry dynamics, including the risks of anchor tenant closures and the importance of maintaining mall ecosystem vitality. A key moment comes as Saunders weighs in on the NRF's 2026 retail forecast, labelling it “toppy.” The trio challenges the assumptions behind the optimistic outlook, citing cautious retailer guidance, constrained consumer spending, and macroeconomic uncertainty. Saunders' perspective reinforces a growing disconnect between industry forecasts and operational reality. The discussion shifts to the intensifying race for ultra-fast delivery, as Amazon, Walmart, and others push one-hour and same-day fulfillment. Saunders provides a grounded view of consumer behavior, noting that while demand for immediacy is growing, the economics remain challenging and uneven across the retail landscape.

#343: Here's the thing about your company's APIs -- they were built for your own engineers to use inside your own software. Nobody designed them to be the front door. But that's exactly what's happening. Matt DeBergalis, CEO of Apollo GraphQL, makes a pretty compelling case that AI agents are turning internal APIs into the actual interface between companies and customers. Not the website. The APIs themselves. And most of them aren't ready for that. At all. Think about what happens when you point a model at a typical REST API. GitHub's API returns hundreds of fields for a single repository object. Fine when another service is calling it. But a model? All those extra fields are context you're paying for, and they make the model hallucinate. Matt says you need something between the model and all those backend services -- an orchestration layer that takes one request and handles the mess underneath. That's where GraphQL comes in. He draws a parallel that'll land immediately if you've been in this space a while. APIs right now are pets -- handwritten, named, carefully managed. But AI-generated code is about to produce way more microservices, which means way more APIs. They're going to become cattle. And just like containers needed Kubernetes, APIs are going to need declarative infrastructure to manage them at scale. The conversation takes an interesting turn when Darin pushes back on the idea that developers are becoming architects. His take: we're becoming product managers. Matt says both. Viktor throws in code reviewers. Matt's own story backs it up -- he codes more as CEO than he did as CTO, because AI handles the parts he never had time to learn. He doesn't know modern React. Doesn't need to. One more thing that should make any tech company uncomfortable: if AI agents are how customers find you now, what happens to your docs-page-driven acquisition funnel? Apollo's already made the shift -- their first audience for documentation is the models, not the humans.

Mental health care works better when access is timely, care is coordinated, and patients receive the right support before their needs escalate. In this episode, Lindsay Arnold Sugden, CEO of SOL Mental Health, joins Saul Marquez to discuss what it takes to build a mental health organization centered on access, collaboration, and clinical excellence. Lindsay shares how SOL Mental Health serves as a front door to care through a broad outpatient model that supports adults, children, adolescents, and couples, both in person and virtually. She explains why untreated behavioral health conditions drive major downstream medical costs, why primary care clinicians need stronger behavioral health partners, and why patient education is essential when people do not know what kind of help they need. Lindsay also highlights SOL's W-2 employment model, weekly supervision structure, and commitment to building a more connected, less fragmented care experience for patients and providers alike. Tune in to learn how thoughtful mental health care delivery can improve patient outcomes, strengthen provider partnerships, and reduce avoidable costs across the healthcare system.

On this episode of the Teach Outdoors podcast, I'm joined by Josée Bergeron—founder of Backwoods Mama and author of Beyond the Front Door: Embracing Nature for a Happier and Healthier Family. Josée is an outdoor parenting advocate and writer who is passionate about helping families raise children who feel connected to the natural world.Josée's work has been featured on CBC Radio and referenced in parenting books and university courses.

Josée shares the personal story behind writing her book during a time of parental overwhelm and burnout—and how that experience led her to create a more relatable and supportive resource for families who want to spend more time outside.We also talk about raising outdoor kids, the importance of community when it comes to getting outside with children, and the relationship between home and school in nurturing nature connection. Josée reflects on what surprised her most while writing the book, what she wishes teachers understood about children's need for nature, and what a truly nature-centered school might look like.This episode is a thoughtful conversation about simple, meaningful ways to reconnect children—and ourselves—with the natural world just outside our doors.In this episode, we discuss:The inspiration behind Beyond the Front DoorParenting, burnout, and finding community outdoorsWhat “beyond the front door” really means for familiesDesigning schools with nature connection in mindHow parents and teachers can support each other in getting kids outside moreIf this conversation resonates with you, be sure to check out Josée's book and explore her website of resources.
Text Kristen your thoughts or feedback about the showSpring cleaning isn't about crisis.It's about circulation.In this episode, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at recording during a literal New Jersey blizzard, the decluttering session that unexpectedly boosted my energy, and a confession: I procrastinated this episode harder than I'd like to admit.Because here's the truth — dust is just deferred decisions.And that buildup? It happens in our businesses too.If things are “technically working,” it's easy to tolerate small inefficiencies… until the mental load starts to feel heavier than it needs to.So instead of overhauling everything, we're starting at the front door.I'll walk you through a simple, tactical place to begin your seasonal edit: your lead management process.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The crime scene at Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home tells a story investigators are still trying to piece together. Blood at the front door. The back door left wide open. Multiple cameras smashed. And an 84-year-old woman who can't walk 50 yards on her own, gone without a trace.Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing Sunday after she failed to show up for church. According to a law enforcement source speaking to journalist Ashley Banfield, the back door of her Catalina Foothills home was found wide open. When Banfield asked Sheriff Chris Nanos if Nancy was carried out the front door, he said, "I did not say the front door."Brian Entin of NewsNation walked up to the home Tuesday after it was released from crime scene status. He found blood still visible at the front door stoop — some red, some brown. The blood trail stops there. It doesn't continue to the driveway. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell analyzed the footage and noted the droplets are round, falling from directly above. No bloody footprints. Her conclusion: Nancy may have been carried out and placed into a waiting vehicle.Banfield's source says multiple cameras were smashed by whoever did this. The source's assessment: "This is someone who knew where the cameras were. Somebody who was familiar with this home, this premises, this woman."The investigation has turned toward family as part of standard procedure. A vehicle belonging to Nancy's daughter Annie has reportedly been impounded. FBI agents visited Annie's home for two hours Tuesday. Banfield stressed this is routine and called her source's speculation "musings, not evidence."Nancy requires medication that could be fatal if missed. When asked if they believe she's still alive, Sheriff Nanos said: "We hope we are."#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TucsonArizona #CatalinaFoothills #Kidnapping #CrimeScene #TrueCrime #MissingPerson #FBI #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
