That which gets measured, gets improved. Especially when you're in the roofing business!Our guest, Abraham Ventura, is Founder and CEO of Pitch Gauge, the most powerful and popular roofing software for business.In 2008, after Hurricane Gustav hit Louisiana, a friend of Abraham's who owned a roofing company asked him to help aid the recovery process. Abraham quickly realized how difficult and dangerous the job could be and searched for software solutions that calculated roof angles to better prepare and protect roofers.When he couldn't find what he was looking for, he created Pitch Gauge, a roofing property inspection software that calculates the total size and slope of any roof. It's used by over 100,000 roofers a month and is the #1 downloaded roofing app. Through the software, professionals can personalize roof reports, schedule any necessary meetings, personalize material orders and take pictures of the project. This roofing software constantly syncs the data from a roofing site to all devices so that the data is always accessible, putting the power back into the hands of the Insurance Adjuster or Contractor.In early 2019 Abraham was accepted into the Hartford InsurTech Hub Accelerator Program, which increased his Founder acumen and connected him with an ideal customer segment for Pitch Gauge: insurance companies.Abraham's path to entrepreneurship was like a steep roof – dangerous and risky. It's also an inspirational journey for anyone thinking about quitting.He worked through personal challenges, including incarceration, and dissolved roadblocks (he's a self-taught computer geek). Today Abraham has a successful business and a beautiful family.To learn more about Pitch Gauge visit: https://pitchgauge.com Download Pitch Gauge here:Apple App Store: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/pitch-gauge/id389715382 Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.prolificmethods.pitchgauge Interested in investing in Pitch Gauge - email Abraham here: aventura@pitchgauge.comFollow Pitch Gauge and Abraham on these social platforms:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PitchGauge and https://twitter.com/ceo_abraham LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pitchgauge/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/abraham-ventura-9075762b/00:00 - meet Abraham08:50 - Abraham's Origin Story - how he turned his life around while incarcerated - inspirational!26:05 - You can start from nothing and create something.

SPECIAL WEATHER UPDATE! Where do you go when you want up-to-the-minute and accurate weather reporting? You go to a podcast that was recorded hours before the storm passed....that's where! In this special edition of Since We're On The Subject, Matt and Blake give live updates of Tropical Storm Cristobal's progress through Louisiana (2:20) while Tim reports on the weather in Hong Kong. We call out Pat Shingleton, asking him to come on the show to help us out (7:41). We talk past hurricanes and storms that have impacted Louisiana (10:38), and then Blake shares a story about what happened during Hurricane Gustav in 2008 (27:37). This was so epic that we had to get his brother Heath on the show to tell his side of the story!

New Orleans animal rehabber Katrina Perkowska Sanders had a lot on her plate when Hurricane Katrina struck. She and her husband had to evacuate not only their kids and vital necessities, but also numerous critters. They lost their home and ended up in a FEMA trailer. Then a few years later they had to move the gang all over again courtesy of Hurricane Gustav. The family is finally back inside a house, but life is hardly sedate. Living indoors with them (that’s right, indoors) are 23 chickens, nine starlings, a black capped conure, eight zebra finches, two diamond doves, two parakeets, nine starlings, seven ducks (three of them handicapped), and whatever songbirds she’s rehabbing a the moment. Katrina is a force of nature, and she has a wonderful story to tell. More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Katrina Versus Katrina with Bob Tarte

listen | Although a Kansas City debut concert was still a few months away, the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) and trumpeter Irvin Mayfield became timely topics for Clark Morris and Patrick Neas as Hurricane Gustav passed through the ensemble's namesake city.

Years ago when I was in college, my College Pastor was in the middle of a series of messages on the family. He paused the series of messages on the Sunday of the week that the news broke that basketball star Magic Johnson had been diagnosed with HIV...

We're just a week or so away from a week that may make Derby Week look almost boring in Louisville...the combination of Ryder Cup week and Kentucky Bourbon Festival Week! Knob Creek Whiskey Professor and Louisville native Bernie Lubbers gives us some ideas of how to spend time in Louisville when you're in the area to visit the bourbon distilleries. In the news...an update from New Orleans and our friends at the Museum of the American Cocktail after Hurricane Gustav.

This commentary aired on KUNM on September 2, 2008(Listen to the commentary)There’s nothing quite like a hurricane bearing down on the world’s largest collection of oil and gas rigs to remind you just how bad an idea it is to drill offshore. Now, I know Hurricane Gustav was no Katrina or Rita, the pair that delivered the one-two punch to the Gulf in 2005, opening up 600 separate oil spills and dumping 750,000 gallons of crude oil into a fragile, coastal waterway. What’s that? You didn’t hear Katrina and Rita left behind one of the worst environmental disasters of all time? Well, a lot of news outlets reported that not a drop of oil was spilled, and Presidential candidate John McCain recently repeated this myth when he cited those two hurricanes as evidence that it’s now “safe” to drill offshore.(read the full commentary)

The Republicans spent yesterday raising money for victims of Hurricane Gustav. Today, it's back to the business of nominating John McCain and his controversial ticket-mate, Sara Palin. We hear about her today, the transition of leadership from Bush to McCain and hear about protests outside the convention.  Also, Ron Paul just won't go away.

From the River Centre in St. Paul, Minnesota, opening day is a shadow of what the Republicans planned for their National Convention. The McCain campaign is waiting to see what Hurricane Gustav does to the Gulf Coast and if preparations were adequate.  We get an update on Gustav and on anti-war protestirs, who have not altered their plans.

Three years ago this weekend, New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast were in ruins after Hurricane Katrina. It's only been in the last couple of months that The Museum of the American Cocktail was able to return to its home in New Orleans, just in time for the arrival of Hurricane Gustav. Museum co-founder Dale DeGroff brings us up to date on the Museum's journey to Las Vegas and back home over the past three years, along with an update on New Orleans's reconstruction. Of course, we couldn't let this master mixologist get away without his favorite cocktail recipe...and he'll share his method for the perfect Sazerac.
