DPC Is Growing in Pediatrics: Dr. Andrew Hertz on Zest's Expansion, Survey Findings, and the Future of CareThe Pediatric Lounge welcomes returning guest Dr. Andrew Hertz, co-founder and president of the Zest Pediatric Network, to discuss the growth of direct pediatric care (DPC) and results from Zest's national survey. Hertz reports Zest's expansion from three Cleveland-area practices to 10 sites opening by summer, with 13 physicians across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and describes using annual surveys because pediatric DPC data was previously lacking and the movement is growing about 25% yearly. Survey findings include that pediatric DPC is largely women-led (about 90%), mid-career, mostly solo practices; most charge $100–$175 per child per month with panels under 250 patients; about 48% are AAP members; and many report improved satisfaction and less moral injury. They discuss DPC benefits such as reduced office, urgent care, and ED visits, challenges with insurance and Medicaid capitation without CPT codes, AI's operational promise and societal risks, and employer value focused more on employee satisfaction than pediatric ROI.00:00 Welcome Back Dr Hertz01:30 Zest Network Growth02:50 Why Survey DPC03:49 Who Joins DPC05:06 Boards and MOC Debate09:31 AAP Membership Questions13:54 Why DPC Is Rising18:22 AI vs EHR Efficiency22:03 Insurance and Capitation25:14 Hybrid Models and Access29:08 Costs and Who Can Afford32:45 Medicaid Capitation Hurdles35:06 Data Without CPT Codes36:24 Data Without Red Tape37:07 ICD-10 and Simple EMRs38:23 Holistic Prevention Coaching41:32 Defining DPC Success42:43 Net Promoter Score Explained46:10 NPS for Behavior Change49:19 Storytelling to Drive Adoption55:53 AI in Pediatrics Promise and Peril01:03:21 Beyond DPC Payment Models01:06:15 Employers and Care Navigators01:09:24 Closing Thoughts and Growth01:11:31 Podcast OutroSupport the show

Catalyst IQ says overall supply dipped month over month, while hybrids and EVs hit record demand and supplies of those models shrank.U.S. light-vehicle inventory fell to 2.85 million, down 2.7% from April but still up 1.2% year over year.Industrywide days' supply dropped to 76 days, down from 80 in April.Hybrids are moving fastest, averaging 59 days on lots, compared with 75 for gas vehicles and 114 for EVs.Small and midsize sedans remain tightest by segment, while half-ton pickups have thinned, partly due to F-150 shortages tied to the Novelis fire.Toyota Motor North America's reported days' supply stayed flat month over month.Hertz Car Sales is doubling down on retail, expanding its reach with a new digital storefront on eBay as it shifts away from wholesale channels. The move puts its near-new inventory in front of millions of online shoppers.Hertz Car Sales launched an eBay storefront with 8,000+ certified vehicles available nationwide.The initiative is part of its strategy to make retail its primary sales channel, rather than wholesale.Vehicles are typically one year old or newer, priced below new, and sourced from its rental fleet.The company continues building an omnichannel approach across its site, Amazon Autos, and Rent2Buy.“It gives us access to millions of in-market shoppers… and supports a scalable retail model,” said EVP Chris Berg.Delta is trimming its onboard snack game, tightening service on shorter flights while boosting it on longer ones. Starting May 19, the airline will shift to a distance-based approach that could mean fewer Biscoff cookies—or more, depending on your route.Complimentary snacks and drinks will only be served on flights over 350 miles for Main and Comfort passengers.Over 450 shorter flights (under 349 miles) will lose current express service offerings.Some mid-range flights actually get an upgrade, moving from limited to full service.Delta says the change is about creating a “more consistent experience” across its network.First-class service remains unchanged across all flight lengths.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Exploring the science of binaural beats, Matt evaluates their potential to improve sleep. Tracing their discovery back to 1838, Matt explains that a binaural beat isn't a physical sound, but a "ghost tone" generated deep within the brainstem. When slightly different frequencies are played into each ear, the brain creates a phantom beat that closely mirrors the delta waves of deep sleep.Moving beyond the hype, Matt reviews what clinical polysomnography studies actually reveal about these audio illusions. He explains how they differ from white noise, clarifies the debate around brainwave entrainment, and emphasizes why stereo headphones are strictly required. Finally, Matt shares science-backed guidelines, recommending delta frequencies (1-4 Hertz) for at least 30 minutes to help soothe a restless mind.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.In a supplement industry where trust is critical, Matt uses podcast supporter Puori.

“Troubled businesses don't turn around on a dime. They took years to get messed up. They got worse through the restructuring when they were capital-starved,” observed Jon F. Weber, founder of Jon F Weber & Co. “A lender should not have the expectation that, upon pouring in liquidity and improving the capital structure, they're going to immediately improve. We're in the reality business... We have to establish what can be realistically achieved with a 70%-80% probability and align awards, budgets and all of those things around those outcomes.” Weber and Jon F Weber & Co. board director Alvaro Aguirre shared their well-honed insights with Bloomberg Intelligence's Negisa Balluku and Phil Brendel, as they delved into their recent paper, “From Creditor to Owner: Adapting an Ownership Playbook.” They highlight the need for lenders to act swiftly and decisively to prepare for potential ownership, as well as the common pitfalls that can arise during this transition. The podcast concludes (1:02:40) with BI's Noel Hebert joining Balluku and Brendel to discuss the latest developments in Hertz, First Brands, New Fortress Energy, Multi-Color Corp., Serta and Telesat.

New data from the rental car company, Hertz, shows that Americans are traveling differently this spring break. With more flexible timing and longer getaway windows as top priorities in 2026. The data shows that more travelers are taking to the roads this year to avoid congestion in America's busiest airports. Following the partial government shutdown, according to Hertz, travelers are skipping the single peak traveled period and instead taking vacations across both March and April, opening more opportunities for families and groups to travel and save.

Dr. Izzy Justice is a sports neuroscientist, golf enthusiast, and 5-time ironman finisher whose latest book, "Life Explained: Chasing 10Hz," is a roadmap for those looking to optimize performance, focus and clarity. Learn more at https://drizzyjustice.com EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW: I. The Untapped Frontier of Performance: Understanding the Brain The conversation begins by highlighting a fundamental paradox: while the human brain is the "quarterback" of both the human experience and athletic performance, most people know very little about it. Dr. Justice asserts that if a person can describe their shoes in more detail than their brain, they are already underperforming in life. He outlines several key reasons for this knowledge gap. Historically, studying the living brain was prohibitively dangerous, as attempts to operate on it often resulted in paralysis or death. Furthermore, the brain is immensely complex, containing 80 to 90 billion neurons within a three-and-a-half-pound mass, all of which must collaborate for a person to process the world, make decisions, and regulate emotions. A significant breakthrough occurred around 2015 with the advent of wireless technology that allowed for non-invasive observation of the brain in real-time. Before this, brain research was largely confined to a clinical setting, focusing on fixing what was "broken" (e.g., Alzheimer's, concussions, epilepsy). This clinical focus was driven by funding, as "money follows research," and there is significant financial incentive to develop drugs and protocols for diseases. Consequently, research into functional performance for healthy, everyday individuals has been historically underfunded and overlooked. Dr. Justice notes his work fills this void, and he has conducted nearly 21,000 functional scans, looking into the brain in the moments just before a person attempts a high-performance task. II. Decoding Brain Activity: Functional Scans and the 10 Hertz Principle Dr. Justice explains that the fundamental language of the brain is electricity, which operates as a vibration measured in cycles per second (hertz). He provides an analogy to a light bulb: a 200-watt bulb is brighter than a 20-watt bulb because its filament vibrates at a higher frequency. The brain operates on a similar, albeit more complex, scale. Using a simplified 0-100 hertz scale, he illustrates that a brain state between 0-5 Hz corresponds to sleep, while a state near 100 Hz signifies panic or high stress. The "magic" for peak performance, he reveals, happens at approximately 10 hertz. At this low-frequency state, mental "traffic" or "noise" is minimal. This lack of internal competition allows for two crucial things to happen: Amplified Sensory Input: What a person sees, hears, and feels is processed with greater clarity. For a golfer, the hole appears larger and the line of the putt is clearer. Mind-Body Cohesion: The connection between sensory perception and motor function becomes seamless. Conversely, as the brain's frequency increases to 30, 50, or even 70-80 Hz, it is cluttered with distracting thoughts like "Don't mess this up" or "I have to make this." This internal battle suppresses sensory input and disrupts motor control, leading to a high probability of failure; for instance, a golfer at 70-80 Hz has a 90% chance of missing a putt. Dr. Justice uses a non-invasive device resembling a cap or sweatband to measure this electrical activity. While the scan reveals the frequency (the "how bad or good"), he determines the content of the thoughts by debriefing with the athlete afterward. Over thousands of scans, he has become adept at predicting a person's brain state to within five hertz based on their verbal and non-verbal cues, including the 43 facial muscles. III. The 10 Hertz State in Action: Neuro-Hacking for a Quieter Mind Dr. Justice emphasizes that achieving a 10 hertz state is not as elusive as it may seem and introduces the concept of a "neurohack"—a rapid technique to lower brain frequency. Unlike traditional methods like meditation or yoga, which are time-consuming and impractical in a performance setting, a neurohack can be performed in seconds without any special equipment. He then guides Nate through a practical demonstration of the "10-10" neurohack: Count up quickly: Mentally count from one to ten as fast as possible. Count down slowly: Immediately afterward, mentally count back down from ten to one as slowly as possible. The entire exercise takes approximately 15 seconds. The rapid count-up briefly spikes brain activity, while the slow, deliberate count-down guides the brain toward the calmer 10 hertz state. Dr. Justice states that this 15-second cognitive exercise can produce the same calming benefit as five to twenty minutes of traditional meditation. The key insight is that an individual does not need to maintain a 10 hertz state all day; they only need to access it in the critical seconds immediately preceding an important action, making it a reasonable and achievable goal. IV. Applying the 10 Hertz Principle to Sports Performance The conversation explores how the 10 hertz principle applies differently across various sports. For athletes in continuous, high-reaction sports like boxing, MMA, or Nate's sport of Jiu Jitsu, maintaining a 10 hertz state for the entire duration of the match is critical. In these contexts, sensory input is paramount for anticipating an opponent's movements, and any mental interference or internal thought can result in getting hit. Dr. Justice advises Nate to perform the 10-10 neurohack repeatedly for two to three minutes before his upcoming tournament to prime his brain for this state of heightened sensory awareness. In contrast, sports with significant downtime, like golf, present a different mental challenge. A five-hour round of golf involves less than ten minutes of actual swinging; the rest of the time is spent walking and thinking. This downtime can be a "curse," as it allows negative thoughts to build after a poor shot. However, Dr. Justice reframes this downtime as a "gift"—a series of natural timeouts. A golfer doesn't need to be at 10 hertz for five hours, only in the 5-10 seconds before each shot. After a bad shot, a golfer can use a neurohack while walking to the ball to reset their brain state, a luxury not afforded in other sports. The discussion also touches on Tiger Woods, with Dr. Justice speculating that in his prime, he was a master of accessing the 10 hertz state over his shots. He concludes by noting a universal truth among the elite athletes he treats at "rock bottom": 100% of them are living with excessive noise in their heads, operating at chronically high frequencies of 60, 70, or 80 hertz. The fix, therefore, is to teach them how to quiet their minds. V. Resources for Mastering the Brain Dr. Justice provides resources for listeners interested in learning more about his work and applying these principles. His tenth and latest book, "Life Explained: Chasing 10 Hertz," is written to make the complex science of the brain accessible to everyone. The book argues that happiness and high performance are not mysteries but are the direct result of learning to guide the brain toward the 10 hertz state when it matters most. For practical application and to learn additional neurohacks, he mentions his companion app, Neuro580. The app costs approximately eight dollars per month and is designed to be used for a month or two to learn and internalize the techniques for achieving a calmer, more focused brain state.

What if the reason a podcast sticks with you has less to do with what's said and more to do with what you feel while listening? In this Obsession Worthy Podcasts episode, the PMC cast and crew unpack Twenty Thousand Hertz's Hamilton feature to explore how intentional sound design shapes emotion, attention, and the overall listener experience. Led by Jonathan Howard and Ralph Estep Jr., the conversation begins with a breakdown of iconic moments like “My Shot” and the duel scene, then opens into a deeper look at how layering, reverb, silence, and even reversed gunshots are used with purpose to guide listener reaction. As these elements build tension and control emotional payoff, one insight rises to the surface: great podcasts are not just recorded, they are designed. The episode also turns practical, with takeaways on crafting stronger openings, building curiosity before delivering value, and using completion rate data to spot where listeners drop off so you can keep them listening longer.Episode Highlights:[01:56] What Makes the podcast, 'Twenty Thousand Hertz' Special[03:44] Hamilton Hook and Doorway Clip[05:27] Listener Reactions and Access[07:27] Sound Design Starts at Script[09:14] Intentionality for Podcasters[14:02] Training Your Ear for Sound[23:22] My Shot Breakdown Begins[25:41] Reverb and Immersion Explained[27:30] Expert Insight and Broadway Feel[28:26] Sourcing Sound Effects[29:17] Layering Emotion Through Music[32:10] Intentionality Lessons From Film Scoring[33:56] Clip Five: The Big Payoff[35:25] Engineering Audience Response[37:33] Measuring Impact With Completion Rate[41:37] Clip Six: Sound Controls Time[45:30] Silence Pregnant Pauses[48:15] Audience Reflections Manipulation Debate[50:26] Three Takeaways For PodcastersLinks & Resources: Twenty Thousand Hertz's Hamilton (episode)https://podcastingmorningchat.com/20khzThe Podcasting Morning Chat: ⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningchat.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningchat.com/joinus/Meet the PMC Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.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://podcastingmorningchat.com/eval⁠⁠Join us every other Monday at 7 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠http://podcastingmorningchat.com/owp/⁠⁠Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 7 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.com/clubhouse⁠⁠EPC3 Speaker Application:⁠⁠ ⁠https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakersSend in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.podcastingmorningchat.contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠marc@ironickmedia.com⁠Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Chat?

Tailpipes and Tacos in Beaumont isn't just a backdrop for us, it's the whole point: real car people showing up early, swapping stories, and rolling through like a moving car museum. We're live at Lupe' Tortilla watching everything from classic Chevy metal to modern muscle, and we hand out the Chili Pepper Trophy awards for Best Hot Rod, Best Classic, and Best Modern Classic. If you love cruise-ins, car shows, and the small details that make a build stand out, you'll feel like you're standing right next to us in the lot. Then we shift from the fun to the forces shaping the automotive industry right now. We talk Porsche looking for efficiencies between the Panamera and Taycan, Ineos getting the Grenadier into more hands through Hertz rentals, and Honda's painful EV timing problem and massive impairment charge. It's a candid look at how quickly the EV market narrative has changed and why product planning and leadership decisions matter for what ends up in your driveway. We also dig into two wallet-impacting issues: global supply chain risk and dealership pricing. Escalation around the Strait of Hormuz raises shipping insurance and logistics costs for automakers moving key materials and parts, and we connect that to the prices everyone feels. On the buying side, we call out misleading online listing prices, document fees, and add-ons as the FTC tightens rules around advertised pricing. Subscribe for more real-world car talk, share this with a friend who loves cruise-ins, and leave a review if you want more live remotes.

Je sais pas vous, mais moi j'adore aller à des concerts ! De métal bien sûr, mais pas que ! Mais vous êtes-vous déjà demandé depuis quand ces concerts existent ? Eh bien justement, il y a des Académies de Concert qui ont été créées en France au début du XVIIIe siècle. Alors qu'étaient réellement ces académies, comment fonctionnaient-elles, et est-ce que ces concerts étaient similaires à ceux d'aujourd'hui ? C'est ce que je vous propose de découvrir dans l'entretien du jour ! Et pour ça, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Bénédicte Hertz, une chercheuse en musicologie spécialiste de ce sujet travaillant aujourd'hui au Centre de musique baroque de Versailles ! Elle coordonne et dirige aujourd'hui le projet AcadéC, qui vise justement à étudier ces Académies de Concert de fond en comble. Mais je n'en dis pas plus, parce qu'on va en parler un peu plus tard…Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute sur Nota Bene !➤ Pour aller plus loin, découvrez :➜ le documentaire “Aux origines du concert moderne” : https://youtu.be/9H8ig6Zdl0Q➜ la page de l'AcadéC : https://cmbv.fr/fr/tous-les-projets/acadec-les-academies-de-concert-en-france-1710-1770➜ le carnet de recherche : https://acadec.hypotheses.org/

Aujourd'hui, des musiciens, il y en a des bons… et puis des moins bons ! Et parmi les bons, il y en a qui le sont tellement qu'ils peuvent avoir une renommée nationale voire internationale. Eh bien au XVIIIe siècle, c'était déjà le cas ! Les archives nous révèlent l'existence de certains d'entre eux qui étaient tellement mauvais qu'on essayait de les forcer à ne pas se produire, et d'autres que tout le monde voulait écouter. Et ces musiciens, ils pouvaient notamment se produire dans des Concerts. Comme de nos jours me direz-vous ? Eh bien pas tout à fait en réalité… La naissance des concerts publics, c'est le sujet de l'entretien que vous pourrez écouter ici dans quelques jours, où j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir Bénédicte Hertz. Mais n'allons pas plus vite que la musique, et parlons des musiciens ! Bonne écoute !

This is a special edition of the New York Institute for the Humanities' Vault podcast. On October 10, 2025, NYU's Journalism Institute hosted a day-long conference titled Podcast Intellectuals: Producing Original Scholarship with Audio. Over the course of three panels, scholars, podcasters, and journalists discuss how academics might employ the techniques of narrative audio as part of their research. In the first panel, podcaster Benjamen Walker discusses his work with NYU media studies professor Mara Mills as they produce Tuning Time, a podcast about the politics of time stretching technology. Professor Mills is an interdisciplinary scholar in the fields of disability studies, Science and Technology Studies, and sound studies. She teaches in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication and is Director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies. Her work on “disability and media” spans disability arts and technoscience, with a focus on the history, politics, and cultures of electronics and digital media. Benjamen Walker is a radio writer and producer. He is one of the co-founders of the podcast network Radiotopia from PRX, and for a decade hosted and produced his award winning program Benjamen Walker's Theory of Everything. The first panel concluded with a presentation by NYU musicologist Fanny Gribenski in which she discusses her current project, The Elephant in the Piano: Music, Ecology, Empire. The book, and podcast, is an investigation of the 19th century piano through a material history of its primary components: ivory, wood, felt, and metal. Professor Gribenski is a historical musicologist who specializes in the history of musical and sonic practices. Her first book, L'Église comme lieu de concert. Pratiques musicales et usages de l'espace (Paris, 1830–1905) analyzes the role of music in the production of sacred spaces. Tuning the World: The Rise of 440 Hertz in Music, Science, and Politics, 1859-1955 (University of Chicago, 2023) traces the rocky path towards international pitch standardization.

Two start-ups a couple of years apart became the inspiration for each other to get better and better and better. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom-and-Pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us. But we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the … Wait, what? Gosh, you told me the title, and I have some thoughts, and I forgot the name of the podcast there for a second. Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Stephen Semple: We’re doing two together here, Dave, Firestone and Goodyear. Dave Young: Stephen Semple’s over there. I’m Dave Young. And this morning we’re talking about Goodyear and Firestone, both? Stephen Semple: Yes, together. Dave Young: Because it’s kind of one thing now, right? Stephen Semple: No, they are separate. Dave Young: Was it? Stephen Semple: They’re separate. Dave Young: No, they’re separate. Stephen Semple: The story is so intertwined between the two of them. I couldn’t figure out a way to break it. But it’s almost kind of like when we did Hertz Avis, like they’re so interlinked. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So we’re doing it as a single podcast, the two of them. Dave Young: All right. Where do we start? Stephen Semple: Well, what’s interesting is they were both started within two years of each other, both in Akron, Ohio. So Goodyear was founded on August 28th, 1898 in Akron, Ohio by Frank Seiberling. And today they’re the third-largest tire maker in the world with about 18 billion in sales. And Firestone was founded in August, two years later by Harvey Firestone in Akron, Ohio. And in 1988, Firestone was purchased by Bridgestone for $2.6 billion. Dave Young: That’s the one. That’s the one I was [inaudible 00:02:51] yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and Bridgestone today is number two behind Michelin with Goodyear being number three. So both really, really big, really big companies. Dave Young: And in 18 when? Stephen Semple: So 1898 was Goodyear, and 1900 was Firestone. Dave Young: And this is before, this is before mass production of automobiles. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Because if you go back to Episode 35 where we talk about Ford, 1908 is the Model T. So it’s pre-model T. Dave Young: Yeah. So which came first, the tire or the car? Stephen Semple: Well, because there were tires on carriages. Dave Young: No, that’s true. All right. Stephen Semple: And today Michelin is the largest in the world. So if you want to learn about Michelin, go back to Episode 27, because it’s also really interesting how Michelin grew their business. But so we’re dealing with Goodyear and Firestone. Dave Young: All right. So Goodyear- Stephen Semple: And if you think about it, you’re right. Most of the transportation at this time when these companies started were either horse-and-carriage or bicycles. That’s what basically people were using. And Harvey Firestone, he grew up on a farm and went to a business school and was a carriage salesman in Detroit. And at this time, the use of natural rubber is expanding due to vulcanization being created. Because before vulcanization, natural rubber was not very durable. It would crack and all these other things. And carriage wheels were basically a wood wheel with a metal rim around it, no give, a hard ride. Dave Young: Right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, even a rim made of rubber would be better than a rim made of steel. Stephen Semple: Right. So basically he’s a carriage salesman. What he realizes is that what we should do is we should put rubber, instead of steel around the wheel, and that would make a smoother ride. So he leaves Detroit, moves to Akron, Ohio, because Akron, Ohio at the time is the center of the rubber industry. Dave Young: Okay. Why is that? Stephen Semple: I think it had to do with just the fact there was a couple of companies that sprung up in the area. There was the resources in terms of water and a few things along that lines. Dave Young: And the rubber barons came in [inaudible 00:04:56]. Stephen Semple: But there was a lot of that that was happening with … Look, you see it in technology. A couple of companies happen and then … Dave Young: Yeah, there’s this- Stephen Semple: It attracts the talent, it attracts the people, it attracts the investment. Dave Young: There’s this synergy that happens. It was before the word existed. Stephen Semple: Yeah, basically. So he creates and starts selling a wagon wheel that has a solid rubber tire. And so he’s doing these solid tires, and he starts seeing the market shifting to a pneumatic tire. So a tire with a tube in it. Dave Young: With the air inside it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And he’s also starting to see car sales increasing so he decides to do that. Because even though it’s a niche, he’s seeing it as growing, and he didn’t really get great traction on the wagon tire. But the first pneumatic auto tire is this thing called a Clincher. The tire is attached to the rim by these metal hooks, but these metal hooks can kind of become a bit of a problem. They can tear the tire, things along that lines. So he decides to make, Firestone decides to make a superior car tire, and he creates this new rim and tire system that’s basically better than the Clincher tire. But the problem, at this point, is the rim is part of the car. Basically, it’s hard to change all that. So who’s willing to- Dave Young: Every car has a different one and … Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. So what he does is, is he approaches Henry Ford because he hears the Model T is coming out, and Firestone undercuts the Clincher to get a foothold in the industry. He says, “Look, I’m just going to come in with a really cheap price. That’s how I’m going to get into there.” And he gets an order for 2,000 units, $110,000 order, and he’s basically betting everything on the ability to deliver on this order. Okay? Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, enter Goodyear, a little bit of Goodyear history. So I mentioned Goodyear was founded by Frank Seiberling, and Frank had tried several businesses with no success, but he saw the rubber industry as an area for growth. Younger brother joins, and they need a name, and what the inventor of vulcanized rubber was Charles Goodyear. So they decided to call the tire company Goodyear after Charles Goodyear. Dave Young: Just associate yourself with that. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Now- Dave Young: Did Charles, was he in on it, or did they just named it after? Stephen Semple: They just named it Goodyear. Dave Young: Okay. You can do that, huh? Stephen Semple: I guess. They were able to. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So they’re buried in debt, things aren’t going so great, but what they wanted to do is the big growth around this time was bicycles. So they create a vision to create a new type of tire for the bicycle, because it’s a huge craze at the turn of the century, turn of a couple of centuries ago. So there’s like 300 manufacturers of bicycles in the United States, including the Wright Brothers. Dave Young: Right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: But again, they were solid tires. And what these guys created was a pneumatic tire, what Goodyear has created was a pneumatic tire for bicycles because it’s way more comfortable than a solid tire, right? Dave Young: Way more comfortable. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So they’re all in and this has to work, but here’s the problem. Bicycle sales stop because, essentially, everyone who wants one has one. So bicycle sales kind of collapsed. And so they’re struggling here, and what they decide to do is they look at the auto business, and they go, “Hey, the auto business is going over there, and we could create a better tire than a Clincher.” Dave Young: Yeah. [inaudible 00:08:24] Stephen Semple: Great. And so who do they decide to approach? They decide to approach Henry Ford because they hear about this Model T coming out. But Ford has already done a deal with Firestone, right? But Goodyear says, “We got an advantage. Here’s the problem. Their tire, the Goodyear tire, Clincher tires will also work on a Goodyear rim. Clincher tires will not work on a Firestone rim.” And here’s what Goodyear says to Ford, says, “You got a problem. Because if somebody needs a new tire, not everywhere had access to Firestone tires, but everybody has access to Clincher tires. So, therefore, our solution is better.” So basically, Ford cancels the deal with Firestone and goes with Goodyear. Dave Young: Oh, no. Stephen Semple: And basically says to Firestone, “I need you to make Clincher tires, which has almost no money in it for Firestone because they got to pay a licensing deal with Clincher. Isn’t it interesting in all of this, Clincher clearly didn’t innovate because we’ve never heard of Clincher before this moment? Dave Young: Oh, right. Yeah. I mean, terrible name, but- Stephen Semple: Clearly didn’t innovate. Dave Young: Right, didn’t figure out that we don’t need these metal things. Stephen Semple: Because they’re clearly the leader at the time, and we don’t hear them any longer. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. So they had a lead in the market, but … Stephen Semple: So 1908 comes out, the Model T comes out. It’s Goodyear tires on the Model T, Episode 35, go back and learn about the Model T, and Goodyear takes out ads that Goodyear tire is better. By 1909, all GM cars are Goodyear tires. By 1910, Goodyear is doing like four million in sales, which is like 30 million today. Firestone is not done. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So back to Firestone, they see these Goodyear ads, and they figure we’ve got to get a competitive advantage over Goodyear. We’re going to go back to 1908, go back a couple years. The auto industry, tire industry is exploding. The streets are getting clogged with cars, lots of dust, no rules, chaos, and tires are completely smooth. There’s no tread. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. That’s … Stephen Semple: And they’ve been all sorts of thing people are putting rivets in, metal, all this other stuff to try to create some sort of traction on these tires, right? Especially as the speed of the cars are getting faster. And what Firestone did, they did a lot of research to make traction. And what they discover is let’s do raised sections. Let’s put treads on the tire. Dave Young: Right. Okay. Well, I mean, there you go. Stephen Semple: Works way better. And what they decide to do, they call it the Firestone Non-skid- Dave Young: Stay tuned, and we’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and, trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And what they decide to do, they call it the Firestone Non-skid, and they put that as the pattern on the tread. So if you look down onto a muddy road, what you would read is Firestone Non-skid. Isn’t that awesome? Dave Young: That’s so smart. I love that. Stephen Semple: So basically the ad is on the ground. They sell- Dave Young: Yeah, because it’s written in the mud. It’s written in the snow. Stephen Semple: It’s written in the mud, written in the snow, written on the ground, right? So they sell like 40,000 units in the first year. And now Goodyear starts to feel the pressure from Firestone on the non-skid tire. So they’re like, okay, what are we going to do here? So what Goodyear comes out with is a diamond pattern because it actually has better grip than letters. And at the same time, it’s still unique because they’re the only ones that have a diamond pattern. And they market it as, and I thought this … You know how we always love this whole idea of attaching the familiar to the unfamiliar? They market it as the first all-weather tire. Dave Young: All weather. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Goodyear then, who was ahead of Firestone with this tire, and at this time, all the tire manufacturers are targeting the manufacturers. They’re trying to get in with the manufacturers. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: And it’s 1910. Firestone’s doing three million in sales compared to Goodyear’s four million. But what about consumers and replacement? What would make their lives better? This is the question Firestone starts to ask because it was really hard to change the tire at that time because early tires were attached to the rim, and the rims were permanently attached to the axle. So you couldn’t just remove the wheel and replace it with another wheel. What Firestone creates is a rim called a demountable rim. It’s this novel idea that you could just take the rim off. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. That’s great. Stephen Semple: And risk of tire failure was high. So guess what this created? The whole idea of a spare, and now anyone can change a tire- Dave Young: Nice, yeah. Stephen Semple: … because you’ve got an extra tire. You could just take the rim off, put the new rim on, and you’re all good to go. And this gets so popular that car companies are now creating ways to carry a spare, a rim and a pump, because now anyone can change tire by themselves. By the end of the decade, all Model Ts have a spare. And guess what? Imitators, including Goodyear, jump onto this idea. It’s 1916. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Firestone’s selling $44 million. Goodyear is 100 million and now the largest company in the world. So Firestone is still trailing Goodyear. World War I happens. April 1917, this huge mobilization campaign happens. Goodyear and Firestone have to pivot to wartime production. Firestone’s doing rubber boots and all these other things. Goodyear has been pulled into this top secret plan. They’re going to create an aircraft called a blimp. Dave Young: The blimp? Ooh, okay. Stephen Semple: And you know what’s funny? I always wondered, why does Goodyear have a blimp? Because Goodyear was involved in the crating of the blimp. Isn’t that cool? Dave Young: Right. Yeah, that’s good to know. Stephen Semple: So they’re both making lots of money. The blimp is the Goodyear blimp. We now still see it at football games and all this other stuff, right? And Goodyear’s expanding like crazy because of the war effort, and November 11th, 1918, the war suddenly ends. The war ending in World War I hurt a lot of businesses like Indian motorcycles, Goodyear, because what a lot of people don’t realize, unless you look back into history, that the war ended really abruptly. So much so that even the Allies, if you go back and read the history about World War I, we’re unsure whether to accept the surrender of Germany. No battle in World War I happened on German soil. It all happened in France. And how World War I ended is Germany basically did this one final assault where they threw everything at it and was basically it didn’t work, and they surrendered. And everyone was like, “What do you mean the war’s over?” But the problem is Goodyear thought the war was going to continue for a while longer and had a lot of debt and had done lots of expansion and were in serious trouble. In 1921, Goodyear had 85 million in debt. And so they had to bring in somebody to help refinance the business and part of the refinancing included Frank and his brother being removed from running the business. So in May 13th, 1921, they both resigned, the businesses gone to others. Firestone, they still remain involved with the business. By the 1920s, cars are going faster, and Firestone does one more really big innovation. And that’s the balloon tire, which is a wider, bigger tire, flatter tire, lower pressure, smoother ride. Six months, they sell 25,000 tires a week, and that’s really the precursor to the modern tire. Dave Young: The radial-type tire. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. That’s really cool. Yeah, war does weird things. I mean, in addition to blowing things up. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it does weird things. But the thing is, when I looked at Firestone and Goodyear, to me, what was really interesting was there’s no way you could kind of talk about one without the other because it really is a story of innovation, innovation, innovation. Dave Young: It really is a case of your competition makes you better, right? Because it went back and forth with both of them. Stephen Semple: It did go back and forth with both of them. Dave Young: Right? And the one that lost out was Clinker because they thought they didn’t need to innovate. Stephen Semple: Right. Right. They were the one that’s been lost to history as these two … Because they had, they were the market leader, and then these two coming along out-innovating each other, totally, like I had never even heard of them as a tire company. Lost to history. Dave Young: Me, neither. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Clincher. Dave Young: Clincher. It sounds medical. It’s such a cool story. I have one experience with Goodyear to tell you about. Stephen Semple: Sure. Dave Young: Back 2020 or so. Gosh, has it been that long? Really has. 20 years ago or so, I was in the motor press guild, automotive journalist, and auto manufacturers and tire manufacturers would take journalists on these trips, these junkets. And I got to go on one for Goodyear. They flew us down to Dallas and then flew us out to San Angelo on Mark Cuban’s 757. San Angelo, Texas is where the Goodyear proving ground is. So they have one of these big 10-acre, five-acre lakes that’s only a quarter of an inch deep or half in it. They can control it. It’s just a giant bed of asphalt that they can control the depth of the water. So we got to drive … We probably compared Goodyear to Firestone tires. Stephen Semple: Probably. Dave Young: You drive this pickup on a slalom course on the water with the new Goodyear tire, and then drive it with the competitor’s tire. It’s like, oh boy, the difference. But it was a fun trip. I also got to drive that same day out on the Goodyear proving grounds. They had one of those mining haul trucks. Stephen Semple: Oh, wow. Yep. Dave Young: Right. The three-story tall mining haul truck, and I got to drive that thing. Stephen Semple: I was going to say, did you get to do a 180 on it? Did you get it to do a 360? Dave Young: No, they didn’t let us drive that out onto the wet track, but that was fun. I mean, there’s a big tire. I think at the time, that tire weighed 20,000 pounds and cost $20,000. That’s what I remember about it. Stephen Semple: And it’s interesting when you think about tires because tread pattern and rubber compound and things like that are all the things that really impact performance. And yet the world’s largest manufacturer of tires became famous with an ad where they put a baby in the tire along with the slogan, So Much Rides on Your Tires, right? Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: But coming back to one of the ones I love with the whole Firestone thing was putting the name in the tread pattern. I thought that was just … Dave Young: Yeah, I think it’s great. It’s really smart and innovative from an advertising point of view, but as Goodyear proved, easy to knock down. It’s like, well, obviously a proper tread pattern- Stephen Semple: Is better? Dave Young: … is better than the word Firestone for keeping your car on the road. But- Stephen Semple: But again, it was so interesting because Firestone then, or sorry, Goodyear then even recognized by the diamond pattern, they still became unique because they were the first one with the diamond pattern. So it was this very interesting back and forth between these two companies. Dave Young: They were like the cartoon, the sheepdog and the coyote. They’d clock in and fight all day, and then clock out. And I would guess that the Goodyear and the Firestone, there were probably people going back and forth between one company and the other. They probably had the top secret. We hate each other, but the investors, whole different story. Stephen Semple: Well, it was funny. There was one thing I read about where basically if you were in the Firestone offices or foundry or whatever, you were not allowed to say the word Goodyear. And when you were in the Goodyear one, you were not allowed to say the word Firestone. Like it would’ve really been a massive rivalry when you consider the two companies, like how remarkable is this that two companies found within two years of each other, like almost exactly two years of each other in the same city- Dave Young: And then live in the same city. Stephen Semple: … went on to become number two and number three in the tire business. The one that became number one- Dave Young: Kellogg’s and Post. Stephen Semple: … was across the pond in Europe, right? Completely separated from this battle. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you for this tiring story. Stephen Semple: You had to go there, didn’t you? Dave Young: Oh, gosh, I shouldn’t have done that, but I did. I did do it. I’m looking forward to the next episode of the Empire Builders Podcast, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Dave Young: Thank you. Stephen Semple: Okay. Thanks, David.

In today's episode, I sit down with J Johnson Jr, founder and CEO of High Frequency Highway, a young entrepreneur blending neuroscience, sound, and intention to shift human performance. We talk about discovering frequency through early study and meditation, then applying it beyond spirituality into athletics, business, and daily focus. J shares how binaural beats, pure tone Hertz, and bone conduction create instant on demand state changes, and how that technology became high frequency headphones. We also cover leaving college athletics to follow intuition, building through uncertainty, and scaling a wellness platform while staying aligned. The conversation centers on awareness, flow, and creating results by changing state.
