Join Jed Doherty for a heartfelt, high-energy episode featuring two creators who are all about getting kids excited to read. First, Jed chats with Laura De La Cruz, author of the picture book Lowrider for Sale. Laura introduces us to Gabby, a determined eight-year-old devastated to find a "for sale" sign on her dad's beloved lowrider. Through Gabby's efforts to save the car, kids glimpse the richness of lowrider culture—the chrome, murals, car shows, and especially the strong sense of community and family. Laura shares how the story grew from her own childhood—helping her dad with his car, losing him to cancer at eight, and wanting to honor his memory. Influenced by books like Yard Sale, she crafted a story that's emotionally real, with a hopeful but not "perfectly tied up" ending, reflecting the financial struggles many families face. In the second half, Jed welcomes back Maria Ashworth to introduce Where's Readsy?, an imaginative reading-ritual activity box. Kids meet Readsy, a book-loving creature who sneaks into homes at night, munches on "fuzzles," and leaves a trail of paw prints to the book he's been reading. Maria explains how the kit is designed to make kids want to read, not just read because they have to, and how her work as a roving storytime host for HOAs and communities inspired the project. She also opens up about being a struggling reader as a child and how that fuels her passion for bringing the magic of books into every family's home.

On this episode of All Things Wildfire, OP sits down with Stuart Landesberg, Founder and CEO of Seneca, to explore how autonomous firefighting aircraft could change wildfire initial attack. Seneca is developing autonomous aerial suppression systems designed to launch rapidly, navigate toward new ignitions, identify fire using onboard sensors and AI, and deliver water, foam or other firefighting agents while a fire is still small. Stuart walks us through Seneca's five-aircraft Strike Team, how multiple aircraft coordinate suppression, what happens in high winds, nighttime operations and how autonomous systems can work alongside existing firefighters and traditional aerial resources rather than replace them. We also discuss one of the biggest milestones yet for autonomous wildfire response: Aspen Fire Protection District becoming the first U.S. fire department to acquire Seneca's AI-driven autonomous aerial suppression system. The conversation goes beyond initial attack into structure protection, mop-up, hidden hot spots, wildfire insurance, HOAs and whether rapid-response technology could eventually become another factor insurers consider when evaluating community wildfire risk.

Your HOA may be watching every car that enters your neighborhood—and the housing market just snapped an eight-month growth streak. So are Flock cameras making communities safer… and is housing finally starting to crack? LIVE on This Week in Real Estate, we're digging into the biggest real estate news of the week, including HOA surveillance, rising mortgage rates, weakening buyer demand, housing-market divergence, MLS battles, commission lawsuits, and a growing debate over professionalism in real estate. Pending home sales just fell after eight straight months of year-over-year gains, new listings are climbing while demand slips, and higher mortgage rates are pushing more borrowers toward adjustable-rate loans. But calling this a nationwide housing crash may be way too simple: San Diego homes are selling faster, San Francisco is outperforming Seattle, and local markets continue to move in very different directions. Then there's the surveillance question. More HOAs are turning to Flock license-plate recognition cameras, raising new questions about security, privacy, data collection, and what buyers should know before moving into a neighborhood using them. In this live episode, we'll cover: • HOAs using Flock cameras to monitor vehicles entering neighborhoods • The privacy and disclosure questions buyers should be asking • Pending home sales breaking an eight-month growth streak • New listings rising as buyer demand weakens • Whether higher mortgage rates are actually pushing housing toward a crash • Why more borrowers are choosing adjustable-rate mortgages • San Diego homes suddenly selling faster than last year • San Francisco booming while Seattle's housing market struggles • The huge price premium for highly rated school zones—and one surprising exception • The $110.6M Gibson real estate commission settlements surviving appeal • Compass settling its fight with NWMLS • Alex Vidal taking the helm at REMAX after the Real acquisition • Why brokers say real estate has a professionalism problem Join us on YouTube every Wednesday, 12 PM CST!

How do technology and trust create safer shopping centers?Security is easy to notice after something goes wrong. The harder question is whether owners and operators are doing enough before that moment arrives.Chris Ressa talks with Mark Bradshaw, vice president of property management at DLC, and Paul Ganz, vice president of business market development at LiveView Technologies, about how retail properties can reduce risk without making customers feel like they are entering a fortress.The answer is not another camera. It is a layered security strategy built around deterrence, technology, property operations, law enforcement, and community relationships.Ganz brings an unusually broad perspective. He spent 13 years as a police officer before moving into retail loss prevention, supply chain, store operations, and corporate security. Bradshaw brings the owner-operator view, including how DLC uses mobile security units for more than surveillance. The same equipment can help property managers monitor vendors, assess weather conditions, inspect work, and maintain visibility across a geographically dispersed portfolio.The conversation also gets honest about artificial intelligence. AI can already identify loitering, unauthorized access, and other predefined behaviors without forcing someone to stare at a wall of screens. But the technology still cannot replace human judgment, direct a complete response, or build the local relationships that make security programs work.That distinction matters now. Retail centers are private property designed for public use. Owners need to protect tenants and customers while preserving a welcoming environment. Deploy too little security, and risk grows. Deploy too much without a strategy, and customers may assume the property is unsafe.The strongest takeaway is simple: security is not a product purchase. It is an operating discipline. The best results come when property owners, technology providers, guards, police departments, and local communities share information, test assumptions, and solve problems together before an incident forces the conversation at each retail property.What you'll hearWhy deterrence is difficult to measure—and still essential to a retail security strategyHow owners can “harden” a property without making it feel unwelcomingWhy cameras, guards, environmental design, and operating protocols must work togetherHow DLC uses mobile security units to monitor vendors, weather, property conditions, and security risksWhat AI can already identify, including loitering, unauthorized access, and suspicious behaviorWhere AI still falls short and why human judgment remains criticalHow relationships with police departments, local officials, HOAs, and customers can reveal security gapsHow mobile technology helped law enforcement combat illegal dumping across vacant county landWhy more visible security does not always make customers feel saferWhat separates a technology vendor from a true strategic partnerChapters 02:17 — Meet Mark Bradshaw and Paul Ganz The guests share their paths through property management, law enforcement, loss prevention, retail operations, and security.03:46 — What LiveView Technologies does Paul explains how mobile security units bring camera technology, analytics, and deterrence to locations without traditional infrastructure.05:05 — Can deterrence actually be proven? The group examines how owners measure the value of preventing an event that never occurred.08:19 — Why mobile security towers were created Construction theft and infrastructure gaps created the need for security technology that could operate remotely.10:14 — Why retail security requires layers Mark explains how cameras, guards, property design, alerts, and physical response work together.12:17 — What happens when the system detects suspicious behavior Paul breaks down the progression from flashing lights and audio warnings to alerts and human intervention.14:43 — What AI can—and cannot—do AI can recognize predefined behaviors, but its reliability and role within a broader security strategy still require scrutiny.17:49 — How DLC uses LiveView beyond security Mark discusses using mobile units to monitor vendors, inspect work, track weather, and provide visibility across DLC's portfolio.21:16 — Why community relationships matter Mark shares how working with police, local leaders, HOAs, tenants, and customers helps owners identify and address problems.25:40 — Helping law enforcement solve problems faster Paul describes how LVT technology helped identify illegal dumping activity across thousands of acres of vacant land.27:14 — Sharing camera access with police The guests discuss evidence requests, property-owner authorization, and controlled access during active incidents.28:50 — Can too much security backfire? Visible technology can reassure customers—or signal that a property is unsafe if it is deployed without a clear strategy.30:41 — The next real breakthrough for AI Paul explains how AI could move from detecting activity to providing actionable information and anticipating similar risks.33:28 — Why people will remain part of the solution Mark and Paul make the case for combining technology with human judgment, local knowledge, and strategic partnership.

Nobody puts a picture of the barn in the listing and says, "We're not completely sure what's holding this thing up." Buying a homestead is a lot like dating — and today we're playing Would you date this homestead? We're past the basics. You know your price, your location, your acreage. This is what happens after the property catches your eye: what the listing photos aren't showing you, what to look for when you finally walk the land, the deed restriction that nearly cost us the property we loved, and the plumbing problem hiding under our slab that no inspection caught. I'm Wendi Bergin — Realtor, homesteader, and someone who has crossed a beautiful property off her own list more than once. Preparedness brings peace, not fear. That applies to buying land too. Chapters 00:00 — Falling in love with a listing before you've seen the barn 00:45 — Why buying a homestead is a lot like dating 01:05 — Welcome to Would you date this homestead? 01:20 — The dating profile: what the listing photos are not showing you 01:55 — Decoding listing language: "rustic," "peaceful country living" 02:20 — The Polk County drive-by, and the water we found 02:55 — Not in a flood zone yet: how new construction changes that 03:40 — The property that was 30 minutes from church, and why I crossed it off 04:25 — "Plenty of room for animals" doesn't mean you're allowed to have them 04:50 — The real question: the property, or the life you're imagining in it? 05:05 — First date: get out of the kitchen and walk the land 05:35 — Would that fence actually hold the animals you want? 06:00 — Why we tore out every fence on our property 06:15 — Outbuildings: is there water and power to the barn? 06:40 — The pig waterer I didn't know existed 07:20 — Pipes running there isn't the same as water that works 07:50 — Stand still and listen: traffic, dogs, shooting ranges, smells 08:30 — Distance matters: barn to house, feed, groceries 08:55 — Why our goats may never make it to the barn 09:25 — The one nobody asks: what will chores be like in the rain? 09:45 — The coughing goat, the nice sandals, and church 10:30 — What a good agent is actually there to do 11:05 — "Would I still want to live there on a tired Tuesday?" 11:40 — Meet the family: zoning, deed restrictions, and yes, HOAs 12:20 — Five acres each, horses allowed, goats not 13:05 — "It takes one person to pull up those deed restrictions" 13:50 — What I screened for: ag zoning, no HOA, flood zone 14:25 — Easements, insurance requirements, and animal rules 14:50 — Why we couldn't raise pigs in New Jersey 15:20 — Can you sell eggs?

I'll help you interview an agent A few things worth writing down The listing tells you whether you want a first date. It's not enough to decide whether you want to marry it. Fencing, outbuildings, water, and power are separate questions. Pipes to the stall don't mean working water; a barn can have water and no electricity. Stand still on the property for a full minute. Photos can't carry traffic noise, barking dogs, a shooting range, or the smell from the neighbor's operation. "Plenty of room for animals" and "legally allowed to have animals" are two entirely different things. Check zoning, deed restrictions, and HOA documents yourself — even on large acreage. Inspections don't catch everything. Ours didn't catch the plumbing under the slab, because nobody had lived in the house for three years. The question isn't whether the property has baggage. It does. The question is whether it's baggage you can afford, manage, and live with.

Episode # 314 Pool Nation Podcast. What if one pool deck job could put $10,000 in profit into your business in less than three days? In this episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus and John “JJ Flawless” sit down with Jeff Morrow Jr. of Encore Brands and The Cool Pool Deck Coating to uncover one of the biggest overlooked revenue opportunities in the swimming pool industry: pool deck renovation. Pool service professionals walk through backyards every single day looking at pumps, filters, heaters, automation, water chemistry, and repairs. But what if one of the most profitable opportunities is something you're already walking across? Jeff explains how pool service companies can add pool deck resurfacing and renovation without becoming a full-scale construction company, buying expensive grinding equipment, or building an entirely new crew. The opportunity is simple: generate more revenue from customers you already have. Instead of adding more pool accounts, more trucks, more technicians, and more overhead, pool professionals can identify the right existing customers and offer a high-margin service that solves a real homeowner problem. Jeff shares how the Cool Pool Deck Coating was developed as a cement-based coating system that can be installed using standard brushes and rollers. He explains the difference between traditional knockdown pool deck systems, ordinary concrete paint, and a system designed specifically for pool deck environments. You'll also hear the incredible story of a 9,000-square-foot HOA pool deck project Jeff completed while his business was still struggling. Without his own crew or specialized equipment, he hired local help, completed the project in four days, and walked away with a $36,000 check. Today, Jeff teaches pool professionals how to recognize these same opportunities in their own businesses. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why pool deck renovation may be one of the most overlooked profit opportunities for pool service companies • How to generate more revenue from customers you already have • Why you don't necessarily need specialized equipment or a large construction crew • The difference between traditional knockdown coatings, ordinary paint, and cement-based pool deck coatings • How Jeff turned a 9,000-square-foot HOA project into a $36,000 job • How a pool deck project can potentially generate thousands of dollars in profit in just a few days • How to identify the “cherry” pool decks that may be ideal renovation opportunities • The warning signs that should make you walk away from a pool deck project • How to check bare concrete for efflorescence and potential moisture issues • Why older knockdown pool decks can represent a major resurfacing opportunity • How pool professionals can become the project manager instead of doing every part of the job themselves • The simple three-step process: Clean It. Coat It. Seal It. • How custom colors can completely transform a customer's backyard • Why commercial pools, HOAs, hotels, resorts, and residential pools can all represent opportunities • How adding just two or three pool deck projects per year could dramatically impact your company's profitability If you're a pool service professional, pool repair company, pool builder, pool contractor, swimming pool technician, or pool business owner looking for ways to increase revenue, improve margins, and grow without simply adding more weekly service accounts, this episode is for you. The next opportunity for your pool company may not be inside the equipment room. It may be the surface you're walking across every single day. ⏱️ EPISODE TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Welcome to the Pool Nation Podcast 01:00 The opportunity hiding in your existing pool customers 03:00 Special midweek episode with Jeff Morrow Jr. 07:00 Pool Nation announcements and what's coming next 09:00 Upcoming Pool Nation and Hayward training 14:00 Meet Jeff Morrow Jr. and Encore Coatings 17:00 Starting a business during the recession 19:00 The challenge of introducing a new product to contractors 21:00 How YouTube and online sales changed the business 23:00 Why Encore moved from wood decks to pool decks 25:00 The “turbocharger” opportunity for pool service companies 28:00 Why pool pros often avoid pool deck renovations 31:00 Why John changed his mind about pool deck coatings 35:00 What makes the Cool Pool Deck Coating different from paint 37:00 The cement-based technology behind the coating 38:00 When pool pros should walk away from a deck 39:00 Growing revenue without adding more pool accounts 41:00 How to learn more about the Cool Pool Deck Coating 43:00 Sponsor break 48:00 Pool deck heat and the commercial market opportunity 50:00 Testing the coating at a major resort 51:00 The incredible barefoot pool deck reaction 53:00 How the heat-reduction technology works 54:00 Custom colors and matching a homeowner's backyard 57:00 The pool deck job that changed Jeff's financial situation 58:00 Taking on a 9,000-square-foot HOA pool deck 1:00:00 Completing the job in four days and collecting $36,000 1:01:00 How to subcontract the work and become the project manager 1:02:00 The economics behind a $10,000-profit pool deck job 1:03:00 How the same HOA deck held up years later 1:05:00 The “Knockdown Dilemma” 1:08:00 Millions of aging pool decks and a massive opportunity 1:09:00 The picture-perfect profitable pool deck 1:10:00 How to identify the best pool decks on your existing route 1:11:00 Red flags pool professionals need to recognize 1:12:00 Efflorescence and concrete problems explained 1:13:00 How to test a pool deck for moisture issues 1:16:00 The three-step system: Clean It, Coat It, Seal It 1:17:00 Tools and installation process 1:18:00 Measuring pool decks remotely and estimating materials 1:20:00 Sponsor break 1:25:00 Why pool deck renovation can be a high-margin add-on 1:27:00 Contractor pricing and potential margins 1:29:00 Start getting your share of pool deck renovation revenue 1:30:00 John's message to pool service professionals 1:32:00 Pool Nation proposes a real-world hands-on pool deck class 1:34:00 Commercial pool renovation season and final thoughts 1:35:00 Closing THANK YOU TO OUR VISIONARY PARTNERS The Pool Nation Podcast is made possible by the incredible companies that continue to support Pool Nation and the swimming pool industry: SPPA BlueRay XL AquaStar Pool Products Natural Chemistry Raypak OnCore Filtration Heritage Pool Supply Hayward Pool Products Poolside Tech Pool Brain Nidec / U.S. Motors The Cool Pool Deck Coating / Encore Brands Thank you to every one of our partners for investing in the education, growth, and success of pool professionals.

Upcoming Events GROW! Snow | September 22 to 23, 2026 An in-person event built for snow leaders and their teams.

See the full webinar list → Robert Holmes, founder of Spectrum Weather and Specialty Insurance, joins Phil to demystify weather insurance for the snow and ice industry. From explaining what an independent broker actually is, to walking through real-life examples of how contractors use lack-of-snow policies to protect equipment rentals, collateralize operating loans, and build client-loyalty credits, Robert shows why weather insurance isn't just for the biggest operations. He also shares the story of his 18-year path from research meteorologist and Antarctic weather-station builder to founder of a family-run brokerage that helps contractors turn weather risk into a Lego box of solutions. Key Learnings Know the Difference Between Agent and Broker - An agent works for the insurance carrier, but an independent broker's fiduciary responsibility is to you, which means access to the best coverage across carriers instead of whatever one company sells. Weather Insurance Triggers on Snowfall, Not Expenses - Claims are paid based on measured snowfall against a defined threshold, so you don't have to prove salt costs went up or your labor spend spiked to collect. Airport Measurements Keep Things Clean - Coverage typically uses a central, historically tracked location like a major airport because it's a disinterested third party with reliable data underwriters can price against. Insurance Offsets Big Contract Risk - Landing a large contract usually means renting or buying expensive equipment that has to sit ready, and weather insurance can protect that outlay if the snow doesn't come. Weather Policies Can Collateralize Bank Loans - Snow-only contractors going into winter cash-poor can use a lack-of-snow policy to name their bank as an additional loss payee, giving lenders peace of mind on operating capital loans.

Host Regan Brown sits down with Wendy Miller of TARC Construction to discuss the growing issue of “warehousing” within HOA communities—not in the traditional sense, but the practice of placing elderly or mentally ill family members in multifamily housing without the support systems they may need.What can begin as an effort to preserve independence can quickly create serious challenges for neighbors, board members, community managers, vendors, and legal professionals. Wendy shares how these situations have become increasingly common since COVID, the role social isolation can play, and the difficult balance between compassion, resident safety, privacy, and legal responsibility.The conversation also explores a real-world case involving harassment, physical altercations, repeated fines, police involvement, and a two-and-a-half-year effort to reach a resolution—highlighting just how complex these situations can become and how important it is for communities to be prepared.Send us Fan Mail

Commercial pool service can look like the fast lane to bigger revenue, until you realize how many forces you do not control. We walk through the real differences between residential pool care and commercial pool maintenance, starting with what “commercial” actually means: community-used pools like apartments, HOAs, hotels, the YMCA, and public facilities that live under health department oversight. That oversight changes your day, your paperwork, and your stress level in ways most new techs do not see coming. We get specific about the operational realities: inspections, daily logs, and shutdown triggers tied to chlorine and pH ranges, plus the unpredictable stuff like user behavior that can close a pool even when you did your job. We also talk about the people side of the business, because commercial accounts often add management companies, approval delays, and the challenge of pleasing 30 or 40 voices instead of one homeowner. If you have ever felt stuck waiting on authorization while a motor is down and the water is slipping, you will recognize this problem instantly. Then we dig into the money, the right way. Yes, commercial accounts can pay significantly more, but they usually demand three to five visits a week, higher insurance limits, and a “headache factor” you should price honestly. We also cover the risk of concentrating your income in a few large accounts and the cash-flow pain that can come with net-30 billing and slow payments. If you are deciding what kind of pool service route to build, this conversation will help you choose with open eyes. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a pool pro friend, and leave a quick review so more service techs can find the show.We break down why residential pool care often beats commercial pool care for working pool pros, even when commercial accounts look more lucrative. We compare regulation, workload, pricing, risk, and the day-to-day realities that make one route easier to live with and easier to keep stable.  • defining commercial pools vs residential backyard pools  • health department regulation, inspections, and required logs  • certification differences like CPO requirements for commercial work  • dealing with management companies, approvals, and multiple stakeholders  • heavy bather load and why commercial water turns faster  • shutdown triggers and chemistry ranges that can get you closed  • pricing a commercial account, including the “headache factor”  • higher insurance requirements and building costs into bids  • time demands, service frequency, and why mixing routes is hard  • concentration risk when you lose a high-dollar account  • payment delays, net-30 billing, and the hassle of collections  Join the Pool Guy Coaching Program.
