For the past 12 years, it has been a mission to bring you voices and stories of talent in design, architecture and the arts. There have been so many twists and turns over these past 12 years and many of you have been with me since the early days of the show. A few ideas that often come back to me when presenting these conversations. Two major themes are authenticity and suitability. Two words that you don't hear often. The first being authenticity in design and the other, which you never hear, except here is suitability. Were going to drill down on both this week. Today on the show, you are going to hear from Bailey Todd of White Cliff Studio. Bailey and her Midwest minded, Illinois based firm deals in authenticity in all her projects and we will dig in a bit. It's the suitability idea that I have been focused on lately. For years, I have been non-plussed by the trades, magazines and social media prognosticators alike and this is the perfect way to draw the correlation between the influencer and the influential. The influencer will tell you just how great they are and because they know, here are the things with which you should surround yourself. Influentials on the other hand, this is experienced based knowledge shared with you by people who know because they have experience. I really enjoyed my conversation with Bailey and I think yo will too. She knows her industry, she understands her business and she is willing to chop it up and share. Love that. And, it's coming up, right after this. Thank you to my incredible partner sponsors, ThermaSol, TimberTech, Pacific Sales, Monogram and Design Hardware. Amazing companies and great friends to the trade so please give them an opportunity for your next project. And, thank you for listening, subscribing the show and sharing with your colleagues. If not already subscribing, please consider that so you receive every new episode automatically to your podcast feed. Until next week, thank you for sharing this time together, until the next episode, be well, stay focused and now that it has arrived in earnest, try to rise above the chaos. - CXD

The End of PSTN: A Historic Shift and a Massive Opportunity for Resellers, TELCLOUD POTS & Shots Podcast, “The carriers aren't being forced to shut it down. They want to shut it down,” explains Jacoby. “They can no longer afford to maintain copper networks, and the revenue just isn't there.” "The public switched telephone network is going away—globally. It's time to act.” — Jake Jacoby of TELCLOUD. In this edition of POTS & Shots, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sits down with Jake Jacoby of TELCLOUD to discuss a seismic industry shift—the worldwide sunset of PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). As legacy copper networks are being decommissioned, businesses face rising costs and potential service disruptions. The good news? Resellers are in a prime position to deliver modern solutions and secure long-term recurring revenue. What's Driving the Global PSTN Shutdown? The retirement of PSTN isn't just happening in the U.S.—it's a worldwide transformation. The two primary forces behind this shift: The Move to Fiber and Wireless: Carriers have heavily invested in fiber optics and 5G wireless networks, pushing copper infrastructure into obsolescence. Deregulation and Rising Costs: U.S. carriers successfully lobbied the FCC to deregulate POTS lines, removing price caps. As a result, prices have skyrocketed while service quality has deteriorated. “The carriers aren't being forced to shut it down. They want to shut it down,” explains Jacoby. “They can no longer afford to maintain copper networks, and the revenue just isn't there.” The Risks of Falling Behind For businesses still relying on POTS lines, failing to transition isn't just a financial burden—it's a major operational risk: Life Safety Systems at Risk: Fire alarms, elevators, security panels, and emergency blue-light phones still depend on copper lines. When those lines fail, businesses could face compliance violations—or worse, life-threatening emergencies. Aging Infrastructure Will Fail: Even before carriers officially pull the plug, deteriorating copper lines will cause disruptions. Businesses that delay their transition risk being caught off guard. How Resellers Can Lead the Charge Resellers are in a prime position to help businesses migrate from outdated POTS lines to modern alternatives. The key is proactive outreach. TELCLOUD provides: Sales & Training Support: Educational content, sales collateral, and email templates to help resellers confidently discuss POTS replacement. Turnkey Solutions: TELCLOUD's white-label platform allows resellers to provide fully branded solutions without selling direct. Reliable Implementation: With 30–40% of U.S. POTS lines expected to transition in 2025, demand for qualified technicians and equipment will surge. Resellers that act now can avoid bottlenecks and delays. "Your customers want to do business with you," says Jacoby. "If you're not bringing this solution, they'll find someone who will. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become their trusted advisor while securing high-margin, recurring revenue.” A Tequila Fit for a Historic Transition No POTS & Shots episode is complete without a top-tier tequila recommendation. This week, Jacoby brings out his personal favorite—Fortaleza. Handcrafted using traditional methods, Fortaleza is a small-batch tequila that retains the authenticity of its Jalisco roots. Unlike mass-market brands, Fortaleza is crafted using a tahona stone (historically pulled by donkeys) to crush the agave, preserving its rich and complex flavors. "This is a true sipping tequila," Jacoby says. "If you find it, buy it—it's hard to get, and it's absolutely worth it.” Join Us Next Week: Multi-Win Mastery – The Backbone of Modern Telecom In the next episode of POTS & Shots, we'll explore multi-win mastery, a strategy that maximizes value for resellers, end customers, and the industry as a whole.

He highlights the necessity of obsessing over quality, navigating economic difficulties, and the hustle required to thrive in the woodworking industry.

Treading New Paths: Jax & Bard's Shoemaking MasteryIn the heart of Gray, Maine, a small town known for its scenic beauty and quiet charm, a unique brand has emerged, one that combines age-old shoemaking traditions with modern sensibilities. That brand is Jax & Bard, a name synonymous with high-quality, handcrafted footwear. Whether you're a connoisseur of custom shoes or simply someone who values craftsmanship, Jax & Bard offers more than just shoes—they offer a story, a legacy, and a testament to the enduring art of shoemaking.The Origins of Jax & BardFounded by Jackie Lindstedt—the company started with a love for shoe design and craft as well as quality and sustainability. Jackie was driven by a desire to create shoes that not only looked stunning but also felt exceptional to wear. Jax & Bard shoes are designed with a focus on comfort, durability, and, most importantly, craftsmanship.Both Jax and Bard bring a personal touch to every pair of shoes they create, infusing their distinct styles into their work while honoring the legacy of traditional shoemaking techniques but also making the process more modern and sustainable. Their commitment to quality is evident in every stitch and the fabric she uses is unique as she can craft a custom piece for her clients.Handcrafted from Start to FinishWhat sets Jax & Bard apart from other footwear brands is their dedication to the art of handcrafting. From the moment a customer places an order to the time they slip their feet into their new shoes, the experience is steeped in artistry. Jackie carefully and strategically prints out a design onto sustainable fabric and then places the fabric on clogs or an espadrille base sourced by a local company.The design process is highly personalized. Jax and Bard work closely with each client to ensure the shoes not only fit perfectly but also reflect the wearer's style. Each pair is made-to-order, meaning no two shoes are exactly the same, and this level of bespoke care is what makes Jax & Bard shoes a unique treasure for those who appreciate the value of true craftsmanship.Every step in the creation of a Jax & Bard shoe is done with precision and care. The process includes hand-stitching, custom fitting, and finishing techniques that ensure a level of comfort and durability not often seen in mass-produced footwear. The result is a pair of shoes that don't just serve as a piece of clothing but as an investment in craftsmanship, style, and longevity.A Commitment to Local CraftsmanshipThough Jax & Bard has expanded its reach beyond Gray, Maine, the company remains deeply rooted in its local community. They take pride in their artisanal approach and in supporting the local economy by sourcing materials and services from nearby suppliers whenever possible. The brand is also committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that its shoes are built to last, thereby reducing waste and the environmental footprint of fast fashion. She even takes leftover fabrics and turns them into earrings.The Future of Jax & Bard: Crafting New PathsAs the company grows, Jax & Bard remains committed to its core values. They continue to build upon their legacy by expanding their collections and experimenting with new designs and techniques while staying true to their roots. The world of custom footwear is evolving, and Jax & Bard is at the forefront of this evolution, bringing old-world craftsmanship into the modern age. She is even considering diving into slippers which is a huge passion of hers.But while the future is exciting, Jax & Bard hasn't lost sight of what makes their shoes special: the personal connection they have with their customers. Each pair of shoes is more than just a product; it's a collaboration between the maker and the wearer, ensuring a perfect fit, both physically and stylistically.Discovering Jax & BardTo explore their collections or learn more about the artisans behind Jax & Bard, visit https://jaxandbard.shoes/.
