In today's episode, I'm pleased to welcome mother–son cookbook author team Jyoti and Auyon Mukharji, authors of Heartland Masala: An Indian Cookbook from an American Kitchen. Before we dive in: If you are ready to start your own cookbook project with clarity and direction, The Creative Cookbook Blueprint is available for a few more days. This resource provides a structured path to begin organizing your recipes, shaping your stories, and moving toward a publishable cookbook. Details are linked in the show notes section below. Heartland Masala is a vibrant, richly illustrated celebration of Indian home cooking, written from the heart of the American Midwest. Rooted in both tradition and diaspora, the book blends recipes from Punjab, Bengal, and throughout India with the lived experience of a family that has called Kansas City home for decades. In this conversation, we explore: Inspiration — How Heartland Masala was born from years of Joyti teaching, family heritage, and the desire to preserve Indian home cooking in a Midwestern context. Process — Their collaborative mother–son workflow, recipe testing, adapting regional dishes, and shaping the book's structure. Storytelling — Why they included essays, cultural notes, culinary history, memories, and narrative elements to deepen the reader's connection to Indian food. Legacy & Impact — What they learned from writing across generations and what they hope the book will contribute to readers, family, and culture. The book features beloved classics such as Saag Paneer and Vindaloo, lesser-known gems like Bengali Murgh Rezala and Anglo-Indian Spiced Liver Toast, as well as inventive new creations, including Masala Brussels Sprouts and Spiced Watermelon. Jyoti and Auyon even include a handful of cocktail recipes, adding a playful touch to the collection. Their work is a testament to the richness of Indian cuisine, the power of family collaboration, and the vibrant interplay between heritage and place.

Welcome back, friends! After a busy season, it's time for a reset. Today isn't about perfection — it's about taking the next step. What we talk about: When life gets full and priorities shift Why stopping for a season doesn't mean failure Recap: a powerful men's retreat and lessons on identity Family updates (Jennifer's knee surgery + travel softball chaos) Why the Heartland 100 got pushed — and why that's OK Why comebacks don't need to be dramatic The power of a single small step Today's challenge: Choose one small action that moves you closer to the life, health, or goal you want. Just one. You don't need: A new week A new month A perfect plan You just need to start. Quotes from the episode: “A pause isn't the end.” “The finish line isn't for people who never struggle — it's for those who refuse to quit.” “Momentum changes everything.” I'm back behind the mic. Interviews are coming. New episodes are coming. Let's reset together — and move the needle.

Molly and Kate speak with mother and son duo, Auyon & Jyoti Mukharji, about their new cookbook Heartland Masala. Jyoti shares how her popular cooking classes inspired a book and Auyon describes how he got involved and how the project eventually took on a life of its own. They talk about working together (for better or for worse), what skills they each brought to the project and how it progressed from idea to fully realized book. They explain why traditional publishing wasn't going to work for this book, how the hybrid model resulted in the book of their dreams and what the recipe creation, writing, testing and photographing process was like. They talk about the book's illustrations, its art direction and cover and how they crafted the friendly, knowledgeable and funny tone that enhances this very special book.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella Mentions Join The Local Palate Cookbook ClubAuyon MukharjiJyoti Mukharji - jmukharji -at- gmail.comHeartland Masala HQ Substack : At Noon We FightPrint Your Own Map from Heartland Masala HQThe Collective Book StudioFrances Baca book designerOlivier Kugler illustratorWendy MacNaughton illustrator Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showHeartland Masala by Auyon Mukharji & Jyoti MukharjiMy Bombay Kitchen, by Niloufer Ichaporia KingSalt Fat Acid Heat, by Samin Nosrat

Despite the “Off the Beaten Craic” theme to the current Irish Stew podcast series, on this episode hosts Martin Nutty and John Lee follow the well-worn track of history that flows through Athlone like the broad River Shannon.Their guide is the affable Vincent Harney of Athlone Guided Tours, a well-researched, perceptive storyteller who peels back the layers of the Athlone story from atop Athlone Castle, while crossing the Shannon, and as they trod the ancient streets back into the very heart of Irish history.Along with local history, Vincent shares his story of growing up in a big farm family in nearby Cornafulla, the post office his parents operated, his own time as postmaster, and lessons learned working the family farm.“In the post office, I loved hearing the old people's stories and hearing about their history. And we would know the history of the fields around us, like the one field given away for a loaf of bread during the famine,” Vincent recalls.Inspired by those stories, Vincent started a new career leading historical walking tours to share how Athlone's origins as a river ford placed it at the crossroads of Irish history, how Norman and Cromwellian armies both marched over its first timber bridge, about the accommodation built into the stone bridge for the gentry's sail boats, and why the railway bridge was considered an engineering marvel of its day.  Vincent reveals Athlone's surprising connections to the Titanic disaster with the sad tale of the ill-fated passenger Margaret Rice, whose body could only be identified by the shoes she wore, purchased from the venerable Parsons of Athlone in the red brick building that still stands today at the corner of Custume Place and Northgate Street.Vincent spins a happier tale about Athlone native John McCormack, tracing the singer's unlikely rise from a working-class family to global fame as one of the greatest tenors of all time.The episode wraps with Vincent making a compelling case for visiting Ireland and coming to Athlone when you do, reminding us, “the history of Ireland is here in Athlone.”Next week, Irish Stew talks organic farming and agritourism in Offaly with Margaret Edgill of Mt. Briscoe Farm and Pippa Hackett, former Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.LinksAthlone Guided ToursWebsiteInstagramFacebookTripadvisorHidden Heartlands Travel ResourcesIreland.comDiscover Ireland's Hidden HeartlandsIrish Stew LinksWebsiteEpisode Page: Vincent HarneyInstagramLinkedInXFacebookTikTokEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 32; Total Episode Count: 135

On today's show, we chat with Russ Kendall!Russ is an Emmy Award-winning producer, the creative force behind the powerful new WWII drama Truth & Treason.   Russ's work has premiered at Sundance, Heartland, and AFI Docs, and his films stream on Apple TV+, Prime Video, and Peacock. As a producer, director, and storyteller, he's passionate about truth, courage, and faith in action — and Truth & Treason is his most personal project yet. More about Truth & Treason:As World War II rages, a teenage boy in Germany is forced to confront a terrible truth—loyalty to his country now means loyalty to a lie. When his trusted bishop urges obedience to the Nazi regime, he begins to question everything. And after his Jewish friend is taken away, he secretly listens to banned radio broadcasts and launches a resistance, exposing the truth. But in a nation ruled by fear, defiance comes at a cost—and as the regime closes in, he must decide what it truly means to be a good German.angel.com/movies/truth-and-treason@truthandtreasonchristianmusicguys.com@christianmusicguys

In the blistered ruins of a world that has forgotten mercy, one man's defiance becomes a spark in the kingdom of the damned. Across the desert wastes of Zimitra, faith is measured in blood, and the gods wear the faces of their victims. When a fallen assassin awakens beneath the knife of his captors, he is offered a single, unholy bargain—freedom, in exchange for a sin greater than any he has yet committed. From the mind of Hank Belbin comes a brutal, myth-soaked tale of vengeance and survival in a world where flesh is currency, faith is slavery, and salvation may be the cruelest illusion of all.

How vector-borne diseases spread– and the critters that carry themMalaria, Lyme disease, dengue, Zika… what do they all have in common? They're what we call vector-borne diseases– spread to us by tiny, bite-happy arthropods. These little troublemakers are responsible for 17% of all infectious diseases worldwide, and with climate change and urbanization on the rise, they're becoming an even bigger threat.In this episode, Dr. Kaylee Byers sits down with insect investigator Dr. Gonzalo Vazquez-Prokopec to untangle the intricate web of vector-borne disease dynamics, and explain what makes these insects such masterful disease spreaders. Then, Dr. Pooja Swali shares how ancient DNA from thousands of years ago revealed a pathogen's curious evolutionary switch from one creepy crawly to another.From mosquitoes to ticks to the not-so-affectionate kissing bug, every insect in this lineup is guilty of something– and genomics is helping us figure out what.Click here for tickets and more information about the Nice Genes!

This episode of New Books in Southeast Asian Studies features Stéphen Huard talking about Calibrated Engagement: Chronicles of Local Politics in the Heartland of Myanmar (‎Berghahn Books, 2024), in which he takes a deep dive into the history and anthropology of village leadership in Myanmar's central dry zone, or anya. In it, Stéphen develops “calibrated engagement” as a category to describe relations among headmen and big men, or lugyi, from his observations in two villages near Monywa. Though the book was researched prior to the military coup of 2021, it offers material with which to make sense of both why and how people in the dry zone formed new armed groups along what Stéphen calls an internal frontier; organising in ways that resist not only dictatorship but also scholarship which reduces politics in upper Myanmar to a lowland-highland dichotomy. The book is available for download free of charge via the publisher's website.  Like this interview? You might also be interested in Ward Keeler talking about his Traffic in Hierarchy, or Magnus Fiskesjö on Stories from an Ancient Land.  This interview summary was not synthesised by a machine.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and acclaimed author Timothy Egan unpacks his newest book A Fever in the Heartland, which traces the Ku Klux Klan's expansion across America in the 1920s and one woman's crusade to stop them; rapper and poet Dessa proves she's more talented than AI by performing a poem she penned backstage using popular search terms. 

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks” – the podcast that harnesses the healing power of song to combat depression, anxiety, and everyday heartbreak.In today's episode we sit down with the multitalented Mark Firehammer—author of the genre‑blending novel The Echo and The Voice, creator of the wellness system Feelness, and a seasoned songwriter whose career spans from Florida coffee‑houses in the ‘90s to AI‑driven studios today.Mark shares the wild road‑trip story of his early touring days, the unexpected love affair he's had with the legendary Cronut, and the pivotal moment when he realized his next album would have to be built without a band. We dive deep into his groundbreaking Artist‑Imagined series, a quartet of AI‑crafted albums—Heartlands (country), Heartthrob (dance), Heartstrings (alternative) and Heartbeats (rock)—and explore how he trains machines to sing in the voices of imagined artists while preserving his own lived experiences.Along the way, we touch on:The rise and challenges of independent musicians in the streaming eraThe moral and creative debates surrounding AI‑generated music and Spotify's new disclosure rulesHow Mark's nonprofit aims to turn music, theater, film, and visual art into a collaborative network centered on human connectionFavorite childhood influences—from Cat Stevens and James Taylor to the awe‑inspiring voice of Freddie Mercury—and the songs that still move him to tearsWhether you're a songwriter stuck in a creative rut, a fan of cutting‑edge tech, or simply someone looking for a musical pick‑me‑up, this conversation offers a blend of nostalgia, practical insight, and forward‑looking optimism. Grab your headphones, cue up a fresh track, and let Mark's story remind you that when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

Once upon a time, journalism started with a letter nailed to a tree—or a door. Some declaration, some warning, some truth someone wanted heard. And people would gather in the square to listen. News wasn't just information; it was a shared experience. Then came the daily paper. Then the evening broadcast. News once a day—steady, dependable. Until it wasn't. Now it's constant. Twenty-four hours. Push notifications. Feeds that never stop refreshing. And somewhere in all that, we started to wonder—what's the difference between fact and opinion anymore? Between storytelling and spin? In this episode, Tate Chamberlin talks with "Sleevs" Emily Messner, Joey Young, and Chris Denson about the evolution of journalism—from editorial boards and ad sales to freelancers, podcasts, and algorithms. How we depict what's true, and whether journalism can still sustain itself. Because while we were putting this episode together, the press corps was literally packing up and leaving the Pentagon—a small headline that somehow says everything about where we are right now. So… is there a future in journalism? Or do we have to make one, even if there isn't? It's Dispatch from the Heartland, join us, won't you?

Taste Ireland…more specifically, taste the Hidden Heartlands of the Irish Midlands through a completely original cuisine designed around the fresh local produce from surrounding farms, on offer at Athlone's Michelin Bib Gourmand culinary destination, Thyme Restaurant.Chef John Coffey conjures up his ever-evolving menu around the vegetables local organic farmer Shannon is pulling or plucking from her nearby farm that day.Local flavors, regional aromas, beautifully presented courses all plated by the Chef/Owner himself, the lively chatter of diners sitting down to what they know will be a memorable meal, the warm welcome and flawless service from the staff and the understated, unstuffy, intimate surroundings combined to provide a multisensory sendoff to Irish Stew's “Off the Beaten Craic" series, the audio chronicle of podcast hosts John Lee and Martin Nutty's eight-day ramble through Ireland's Hidden Heartlands, starting in Athlone, the geographic heart of Ireland astride the River Shannon's “brightly glancing stream.”Chef Coffey relates how he opened Thyme in November 2007, just months before the financial crisis devastated Ireland's economy, surviving days with no customers, weeks of no salary, and months of operating with a skeleton crew. Maybe it was his unwavering commitment to hyperlocal sourcing that pulled him through. The menu changes constantly depending on seasonal availability of local produce—plums for three weeks, game in autumn, heritage potatoes in varieties like Purple Rain that supermarkets abandoned decades ago.

Kansas City based songwriter Amy Ward responded to a call to action to submit a proposed theme song to celebrate the 15th anniversary for my Tasty Brew Music Radio Show.  Although, like Tica Felise from our last Tasty Brew Music Podcast episode, I did not ultimately choose Amy's submission, I thought her offering compelling enough to want to know more about her music. I brought her into the radio station one Saturday Morning asI hosted the women-centric program “Siren Song.” As you will learn in this conversation, Ward often prepares songs for Sync Licensing, achieving hundreds of song placements on prime TV, Day Time TV, Major Motion Pictures and Independent Films.   She has performed at renowned venues like Madison Square Garden, Kauffman Stadium and T-Mobile Center, as well as recognition on Fox 25 Boston and ABC's KMBC KansasCity. In films and television, she contributes as a songwriter, singer, and producer, including placement on Netflix progamming, and tv programs like Say Yes to the Dress, NCIS, General Hospital, Young & the Restless,  toname a few.On the horizon, Amy lands two songs in the upcoming film,Viral - directed by Blair Underwood and her first song in an animated film , A Tooth Fairy Tale-in theaters and streaming  now.  Enjoy this conversation with music samplings from the AmyWard catalogue!Photo Credit: Hilary Fuller

Thank you for the generous support we received during our recent pledge drive. It keeps us going. Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Tune in to hear a recording from the August 19th Solidarity School of Resistance, Immigration 101 presented by Judy Ancel of The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity Cross Border Network, Claire Murphy Shaw of The Asylum Clinic and Karla Juarez of Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR). The U.S. immigration system is complex and can be difficult to understand. Immigration in the United States is complex and ever-evolving. Explore layered topics like how and whether immigrants can become citizens and what individual protections look like under the law. The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity is a grassroots organization based in Kansas City which recognizes the common interests of working people in the world and ​builds ties for common action among them. https://www.crossbordernetwork.org/ Luchando por los trabajadores entre fronteras! La Red Transfronteriza para la Justicia y la Solidaridad es una organización de base con sede en Kansas City, que reconoce los intereses comunes de los trabajadores en el mundo y construye vínculos de acción común entre ellos.   The Asylum Clinic promotes justice through the delivery of accessible legal services and support that empower underserved immigrants and refugees in The Heartland. https://www.asylumclinickc.org/ Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR) recognizes and is working tirelessly to keep families together and end the humanitarian crisis our immigrant community is facing on the belief that all people, no matter where they were born, deserve a chance at a safe and dignified life. AIRR is committed to empower and uplift the voices of the immigrant community and provide them with the tools they need to better protect themselves and their families. https://airrkc.org/ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recorded its deadliest year since the early 2000s as agency officials push to increase the number of people in its custody. At least 20 people have died in ICE custody so far this year. ICE is also holding nearly 60,000 people in immigration detention, the highest number in several years. Historians note that public opinion on accepting refugees and immigrants has not always been in line with the narrative of open arms. We find it difficult to live up to the promises made in those stories. Nevertheless, a story in which people are killed while in the care of the state points to a complete breakdown of the legal system. This reflects a real-world moral failure of the prison system, where authorities have a responsibility to protect those in their custody. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. https://kkfi.org/listen/

The government is still shut down, and Democrats are warning that the expiration of Obamacare subsidies at the end of this year will make healthcare unaffordable for millions. But that's not true. While the system certainly needs reform, the real problem lies deeper than temporary subsidies. The Heartland crew will break down what needs to change to make healthcare work for everyone.Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has floated the idea that the United States may need to “decouple” from China if they continue to play unfairly in global markets. What would that mean for essential materials and the broader economy—and has America waited too long to act?And on this week's UNHINGED segment, CNN revives an old feminist slogan that claims men who find women attractive are a societal problem. The panel will discuss why this narrative keeps failing and what it says about modern media culture.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, S.T. Karnick, Chris Talgo, and special guest AnneMarie Schieber will discuss all of this and more on Episode #515 of the In The Tank Podcast.

Your cohosts are back from an eight-day road trip through Ireland's Hidden Heartlands, where instead of profiling a person, they went “Off the Beaten Craic” to explore a place - the Irish Midlands.Some tourists might view it as "drive-through country,” as they motor west from Dublin to the Wild Atlantic Way, but John and Martin found just a fraction of what they're missing in Offaly, Westmeath, Longford, and Leitrim. And by traveling at a leisurely “slow tourism” pace during the quieter fall “shoulder season,” they found little traffic, uncrowded restaurants, more of a local vibe to the pubs, and had legendary historic sites almost to themselves.The peripatetic podcasters conversed with almost two dozen Midlands guests, capturing stories about local history, organic farming, biodiversity, greenways, Shannon river cruising, farm-to-table dining, slow adventure travel, hospitality, archaeology, astronomy, entrepreneurship, and civic pride, while at times going knee-deep into the distinctive bogs that shape the Midlands landscape.Your hosts also brandished their selfie sticks to add sights to their sounds on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok.The “Off the Beaten Craic in the Hidden Heartlands” series was made possible through the support of Tourism Ireland, which markets the island of Ireland overseas as a compelling holiday destination, and the guidance of Fáilte Ireland, the National Tourism Development Authority, with a tip of the hat to the Leitrim County Council for their warmest of welcomes.Join us “Off the Beaten Craic in the Hidden Heartlands!”Links:Hidden Heartlands Travel ResourcesIreland.comDiscover Ireland's Hidden HeartlandsIrish Stew Social MediaInstagramLinkedInXFacebookTikTokEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 29; Total Episode Count: 132

The Hindi heartland, comprising Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, covers nearly 38 per cent of India's total area and is home to over 40 per cent of India's population. It provides the country with over 40 per cent of its parliamentarians and determines the contours of national politics (out of the fifteen prime ministers India has had since 1947, eight have been from the Hindi belt). Yet, despite its political significance, the Hindi belt is among the most impoverished regions in the country. It consumes the bulk of the country's resources, but lags behind other states on various economic and welfare indices. It is plagued by violence, illiteracy, unemployment, corruption, poor life expectancy, and numerous other ills. Centuries of war, conquests, invasions, political movements, and religious unrest have made the heartland a place of immense paradox. Despite its extraordinary and timeless religious heritage-some of the country's most revered spiritual leaders were born here and it is home to innumerable shrines and places of pilgrimage-it has also witnessed some of the worst communal riots in the country and has been troubled by long-running, divisive sectarian politics. Many of India's founders, who gave the country its secular identity, hailed from the heartland, but so too did those who have spread religious discord. And the land of Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb routinely witnesses lynching and murder in the name of religion. The Hindi Heartland: A Study (Aleph Book Company, 2025) is divided into five sections. Section I explores the geography of the region, which stretches from Rajasthan in the west to Jharkhand in the east with Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh in between. The author then looks at caste, religion, the rural-urban divide, and the tribes who belong to the region. In the chapter on the economy, she attempts to show how the economic backwardness of the Hindi belt has come about through faulty and myopic post- Independence policies conceived by various governments-these have come in the way of sustained and inclusive development. The chapter on language chronicles both the emergence of Hindi as the primary lingua franca of this region at the cost of other languages, as well as the politics that linked language with religion. The last chapter in this section explores the influence of the heartland on what is today popularly understood to be Indian culture. Section II looks at the medieval and modern history of the region and covers the emergence of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughals, the Marathas, and the East India Company. Section III examines British colonialism through the lens of empire building, and shows how the imperialists distorted history to facilitate their divide and rule policy. It also dwells on the deliberate economic impoverishment of the Hindi belt and how this continues to impact the region even after Independence. Section IV analyses the freedom struggle-and covers among other things the emergence of the idea of India and the increasing Hinduization of that idea. It establishes the Hindi belt's criticality to Gandhi's satyagraha, and the success of the British Indian government's experiments with strategies that divided communities, which eventually led to the partition of the country. Section V appraises developments in the region after Independence. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this throwback episode of Very Clinical, Zach and Kevin welcome back Charlie Fryer to talk about AI in dentistry. Charlie recently finished a master's thesis about class II caries and AI so he can see applications in dentistry from the perspective of a computer scientist. AI's Current Role in the Dental Industry The guys discuss existing and potential applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in dentistry, acknowledging that the future of the profession will be heavily influenced by this technology. Invisalign/Aligners: Kevin notes that companies like Align Technology (Invisalign) are essentially data companies that leverage millions of intraoral scans from iTero to perfect tooth-movement algorithms and quickly generate treatment plans. He suspects much of the initial clin-check setup is AI-driven, with human checks afterward. Design & Manufacturing: AI is already used for the automated design and quick file return for appliances like night guards by companies like SprintRay, as well as for crown design in some printing workflows. Radiographic Diagnosis: The hosts discuss companies that use AI to read and assist in diagnosing findings on X-rays. A key discussion point is how these companies, like DSOs (Dental Service Organizations) such as Heartland or Aspen, acquire the vast amounts of patient data needed to train their models. The hosts posit that users become the "product," providing data with every image analyzed. Future AI Applications and Benefits The conversation shifts to more future-facing applications and the overall impact of AI on dental practice. Net Positive Impact: Zach and Kevin agree that AI will be a net positive for dentistry, primarily as an aid rather than a replacement for clinical judgment, drawing an analogy to how a GPS system advises a driver but the driver still makes the final decisions. Combining Data Sets: Charlie suggests combining various patient data, such as cone beam CTs, intraoral scans, and radiographic images, to develop next-generation tools for complex procedures like implant placement guidance. Practice Optimization: A major area for AI development is practice management. They discuss using machine learning to: Optimize scheduling based on patient history (recurrent neural networks) and procedure mix to maximize profitability and account for unexpected needs. Forecast inventory needs to ensure the practice is always adequately stocked. Financial and Marketing Tools: Patient Financing: Kevin highlights Sun Bit, a payment program that uses an AI component to quickly determine a patient's payment risk and rate by analyzing non-traditional data like utility payments instead of a full credit report. Marketing: AI is already effective in predicting click-through rates for online advertisements, which could be leveraged by dental practices.

Send us a textTrade shows can blur together—until they don't. Knoxville's Shed Expo and the post frame show in Dayton delivered a clear message: owners are hungry for practical marketing, respectful tech, and partners who actually solve the problems builders face every day. We came home with full notebooks, a heavier contacts list, and a sharper roadmap for how the shed and steel world can grow without losing its human core.We unpack what the Q&A revealed about the state of marketing: rising ad costs, vague targeting, and funnels clogged with unqualified clicks. Then we lay out a cleaner path—on-page SEO tuned to real buyer intent, location pages that mirror how you do business, and content that answers questions people actually ask about delivery, permitting, RTO, and warranties. You'll hear why this shift is winning for dealers and manufacturers who care about qualified leads over vanity metrics, and how to measure success in calls, quotes, configurator starts, and closed revenue rather than impressions.We also dig into tools that earned our trust. IdeaRoom's 3D engine continues to be a force multiplier for metal buildings and pole barns, turning visualization into confident quotes. Velocity 360 brings CRM workflows that fit how teams really sell. Shed Pro stands out for shed configurators that stay simple for customers. SmartBuild is pushing integrated back-end logic while partnering to improve front-end experiences. On RTO, we compare Heartland, Easy Pay, and Platinum and explain how fit varies by product and process. And yes, we celebrate the best booths, builds, and the legendary hat haul—because culture and community still matter when you're choosing who to bet on.If you want marketing that respects your values and tools that make your team faster without replacing them, this conversation is your field guide. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who's rethinking their lead strategy, and leave a review with your biggest growth question—we'll tackle it on a future show.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up here.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLCMaking Sales SimpleShed Hub

While the nation's cultural curators cluster in a few wealthy zip codes, the voters who decide its elections remain rooted in towns where family, church, and work still bind community together. The result is a political and media class increasingly alien to the country it claims to represent, a dynamic cast in stark relief by the recent memorial for Charlie Kirk.Salena Zito, author of Butler and political reporter for the Washington Examiner, joins Drew to explain how rootedness, not ideology, drives much of American politics. They discuss the divide between “placed” and “placeless” citizens and why that distinction is fundamental to understanding the rise of President Trump, before focusing on how increasing energy demands from AI data centers could revitalize jobs for “placed” Americans.Further Reading:Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland, by Salena Zito“Down In a Pennsylvania Mine, I Saw Coal's Future,” by Salena Zito, Washington Post“New Survey Upends Conventional Wisdom About the American Dream,” American Compass
