Professional Employer Organization (PEO): How to Overcome HR Challenges On this episode, Adam and Tom sat down with Ryan Devlin from Insperity, one of the industry's leading Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). Ryan shed light on the invaluable role that PEOs play in providing a comprehensive HR compliance, payroll, and benefits solution for businesses.  According to Ryan, PEOs like Insperity serve as turnkey solutions, easing the burden of time-consuming administrative tasks for business owners. By partnering with a PEO, businesses can focus their efforts on core activities and leave the HR responsibilities to the experts.  However, the conversation went beyond the functional aspects of PEOs. Ryan emphasized the significance of instilling company values and fostering a positive work culture. He stressed that successful businesses prioritize aligning their values with those of their employees, creating an environment where everyone is motivated to perform their best.  Insperity goes beyond just paperwork and regulations – they offer practical assistance to businesses in managing federal I9 verifications, conducting background checks, and handling payroll. Their unique approach includes building lasting client relationships, focusing on longevity rather than quick transactions.  One aspect that stood out was Ryan's description of himself as a quarterback, guiding a specialized team at Insperity to cater to each client's specific needs. Insperity saves businesses from the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors by removing administrative burdens and consolidating multiple services.  The advantages of partnering with a PEO are evident for businesses experiencing rapid growth, managing multi-state workforces, and navigating complex legal compliance. Insperity's training sessions for business owners, employees, and managers add further value, providing guidance in various areas of business operations.  Lastly, Ryan highlighted the importance of Insperity's book, "Take Care of Your People." This guidebook offers nine core strategies to drive business results, with a strong focus on cultivating an exceptional company culture.  Overall, this podcast episode provided crucial insights into the power of PEOs and their pivotal role in supporting business success.  Visit Insperity: https://www.insperity.com/  Buy Paul Sarvadi's Book, Take Care of Your People: https://amzn.to/3OWlb5O  About: Adam and Tom have combined four decades of experience working with business owners.  They have taken their previous work and combined it to build out programs that help overworked growing entrepreneurs who have no free time to overcome their burnout, build a plan and learn to delegate.

You might find yourself overwhelmed by the complexities of financial and accounting terms, often leaving you with little time to dedicate to learning about these topics. Audits can occur inconveniently, adding stress and pressure to your busy schedule.  In this episode, I explore the contrast between physically demanding work and administrative tasks, acknowledging the necessity of handling financial reports and organizing insurance despite personal dislikes. The challenges of completing an audit provide insights into overcoming mental and emotional blocks to think positively and recognize the potential benefits. I explore the fears and anxieties associated with audits and the importance of an insurance company providing support and guidance during these processes.   “When these notices come in, get them handled immediately.”           -Keith Kalfas   Today's Topic: 00:40 - Free sign-up, Industry Deep Dive: Mastering Profitability in Lawn Care.

Do you enjoy these tasks, or do you find them overwhelming? 03:34 - What happens if you have an emotional response to tax audits? How did you handle it, and what was your experience? 7:22 -  How do you ensure that your business complies with all the requirements and regulations, especially regarding payroll and employee documentation? If you can't handle these situations alone, get a bookkeeper from your blue skies accounting or find your local accountant.   Key Takeaways: Establish administrative processes: Setting up administrative functions is crucial to handle financial matters and policies effectively. This ensures that you're prepared when audits roll around. Annual audits are required: Annual audits are often mandatory for general liability and workers comp insurance. It is important to know this requirement and gather the necessary documentation. Understand insurance company objectives: Insurance companies aim to assess exposure risk and liabilities to protect their interests. It's essential to keep this in mind when navigating through audits and responding to notices.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources/People Mentioned: Mastering Profitability in Lawn Care.

During this podcast, Christy Abend, Director of Product Strategy for the Affordable Care Act Management service at Equifax will discuss some key points for employers to better understand how vaccine mandates and potential surcharges could potentially affect the affordability of their healthcare plan.  If you are considering a premium surcharge for unvaccinated employees similar to a tobacco surcharge, you run the risk of rendering your plan “unaffordable” according to the ACA standards. That could lead to potential fines if any of your employees go to the exchange, enroll in coverage, and are determined to be eligible for a subsidy.  Listen today to learn how those calculations are made, and more about how you can manage the requirements of the ACA.

Is there a difference between quitting before the mandate goes into effect vs. being let go for not complying? Hear what our unemployment cost management subject matter experts think may happen as these cases start to work their way through the state workforce agencies.  Listen today and learn more about how you can put yourself in the best position to win these types of cases.

All right, with me today, I have the usual group. We have Taylor Arndt, TAYLOR: Hello, everyone, MICHAEL: and Jason Earls. JASON: Hello, everybody. MICHAEL: All right, we have a great episode for you today. And you know, we've been gone for a few weeks. We had a kind of a crazy storm And then we wanted to get back on a regular schedule. So, we're back with a new episode to talk about all the interesting news that's happened recently and some rumors and news and a bunch of different things that have happened. So, let's jump right into it. Our main topic for today is the first news item, and that's the HomePod being discontinued. And I have very mixed opinions on this. JASON: I do too. I kind of understand why Apple discontinued the HomePod. Also, they discontinued the HomePod! It's okay, HomePod buddy, I still love you! As I pat my HomePod. MICHAEL: Didn't we have a hashtag for a while, pet the HomePod? JASON: I think we did. TAYLOR: Hilarious. JASON: I was just trying not to pat the screen because I didn't want music to happen, but that would have actually been really funny. MICHAEL: I think I have a picture of headphones sitting on a HomePod. JASON: Oh, yeah! The Andrea Cans! MICHAEL: Yeah, yeah. JASON: But yeah, on one hand, I understand why they did it because it was at launch a what, $350 Smart speaker that couldn't do terribly much more than play music. I mean yes, it sounded good, But you know, it's not what people were looking for in their smart speakers. Especially considering the likes of the Echo devices, the Google Home Hubs or Homes at the time. And you know, the HomePod's been around for like 4 years. So, in one respect, I kind of understand it. And you know, the HomePod Mini does have some features that the big HomePod doesn't have regarding the U1 chip and everything. But at the same time, the HomePod does sound so good! And as good as the Mini is and as great sales figures as the Mini is because of its price point and everything, you can't argue that it just does not sound as good as the big HomePod. TAYLOR: Right. But I think if we're thinking about it, the majority of consumers, they may not be in depth with audio and they may not understand that the HomePod sounds the way it is and that they want to pay for that. Because a lot of them just want to listen to music, and they want it to be portable. And so, that's where I think it's coming down to. Like, I understand why they they discontinued it, but yeah, it's kind of sad. I mean personally, I don't have a big HomePod, but that's because in a small apartment, I just don't have a lot of room. JASON: Right. And, you know, they did say that they are still going to push out software updates for the big HomePods and support the Apple Care which is good because I just got Apple Care last year. TAYLOR: Oh, that would stink otherwise. JASON: Right? But like, I really want them to come out with a bigger HomePod for 199. That's what I'm hoping for, even though they publicly said to I think it was like iMore or whatever that they were in fact focusing their efforts on HomePod Mini. Because let's think about it like this, the big HomePod — you know, Apple slash the price to 299, right? So, for $200. You could get two HomePod mini for less money than one bigger HomePod. Now, that doesn't mean it's going to have the bigger, basier sound of the HomePod, but at least you would get stereo audio and stuff. MICHAEL: Well, let's leave this part for the end because we're already kind of diving in. JASON: I know right? I like, I got thoughts I'm sorry. MICHAEL: But the other bit of news is the iMac Pro completely was discontinued and they're only selling them while supplies last JASON:That I'm not sad about. MICHAEL: In a way, I am. I think it was a great product, but I think we're about to see something new come from Apple. And as usual, we will be doing a live stream of that event. At least that's the plan. We'll be doing a live stream of the Apple event when it happens later this month. Because we do know for certain, right, that there is an apple event? JASON: I don't think we do know for certain. I just think speculations hide that there may be one, at least last I checked. But March 23 is the rumored date for the Apple event. I also haven't really looked at the news today. So things may have changed. But last I knew it was a hypothetical thing at this point. I mean, a highly likely thing at this point. MICHAEL: And I think it's because they're discontinuing these devices and the fact that we have so much information in the code about our next topic, and that's potential AirTags coming soon. Because there's mention of them in the find my app. TAYLOR: Yes, there is. MICHAEL: On the beta TAYLOR: Which is awesome because I've saw YouTube videos. Obviously, I don't have the beta myself, but I've seen YouTube videos that have mentioned it. Obviously, when you're on to prepare for the podcast just kind of looking at all the news. And but yeah, definitely pretty cool. And hopefully, hopefully they work. I mean, Tile's nice, but it'd be nice to have something built in and integrated for finding stuff. JASON: Right, and I guess Apple's opening up the FindMy protocol so that companies like Tile could take advantage of it as well. And it's nice to see that they are opening up more of their frameworks and things. MICHAEL: Well, and I think that's because there's been so much blame for antitrust and things between them and Google and things like that, that they're trying to make sure that they stay open — JASON: ahead of that, Yeah. MICHAEL: Because Google's had a lot of problems with that because they're in everything. The last bit of news that we have is, and I won't make any jokes, Jason, I won't do it, I won't do it. Those will be left for off the podcast, the BrailleSense 6. And I only make this joke because if you want to learn more, head to hims-inc.com/bs.6 . And I'm not kidding. Take all the jokes from that you can. JASON: Exactly. MICHAEL: Basically, we have the BrailleSense 6, and it was announced this week at CSUN. From what I've been able to tell, it was one of the biggest announcements because there weren't a lot of announcements this week. And the BrailleSense 6 dropped the Polaris naming. And it's Android 10, 120 Gigs of hard drive space, 80211AC wireless, a battery that while under load will drain 21% in an hour and a half if doing the max amount of work. That's the only battery statistic we can get. It has SD card slot, it has two USBA ports, a two USBC ports, a headphone jack, supports microphone, The, what is that called, Jason? JASON: I think it's TRRS, actually, I believe is the technical standard which is basically what this microphone that I'm using is, which is, think the older headphone jacks on the iPhones or the the headphone jack on the Mac. So it's that single microphone combo jack. MICHAEL: And it has all that, it has new software installed. And the person doing the presentation was using Zoom on the BrailleSense. So that's pretty promising. The only concerns I have are if it's going to get Android 11 and up, and how well the software is going to work because the Polaris had a lot of issues with deleting documents and things like that. JASON: Yeah, the BrailleSense Polaris is a very interesting device. I think it also actually Michael, in addition to the headphone jack, I think they said it also has a stereo line in Port as well. So you could connect music things to it, you know, binaural microphones really would work I would imagine to it. MICHAEL: Nice! JASON: Did you mention that it has 6 Gigs of RAM? MICHAEL: No, I did not. TAYLOR: Nope, you didn't JASON: So yeah, it's got six Gigs of RAM, an 8 core CPU. I don't remember if they announced the clock speeds of it, but — MICHAEL: It didn't. JASON: So, it really does seem like a very interesting device and — MICHAEL: And it's gonna cost 5799, come out in June. TAYLOR: Yeah. Wow. That's a lot of money. JASON: So we do know, the battery will be user replaceable though because they talked about that at the CSUN announcement I think MICHAEL: they do offer financing and trade ins for your older devices, so those are options to get you a lot closer in price to those devices. So JASON: Yeah, it's a very interesting device. I do worry what the battery life is really going to be like, TAYLOR: Right, and also if it can — like some note takers have a problem where they fall behind mainstream. And so that's the other concern too, is that like, you buy the $6,000 device almost. Well, it's already running two versions behind of Android almost at this point. 12 is beta. So that's the other thing too. These notetakers I mean, they're great for what they are, but you know, it's a specialized thing, and they're not always up to date. JASON: Like I said to you guys, I think off the show, if I were to get a note taker, it would probably be the BrailleSense. You know, the BrailleSense 6. It's so weird that they don't have a name for it now. TAYLOR: I know. MICHAEL: Alright, you know, and we could have a whole episode on notetakers, but I think we would want to have somebody on that can talk more about Braille and mainstream versus notetaker because I think that would be a very cool discussion. So TAYLOR: Yes. JASON: Yeah, I do too. Because I mean, I've used the BrailleSense in the past, but the BrailleSense I used was, I think, even before the U2. So, it was definitely not any of the Android based BrailleSense devices. So MICHAEL: Another thing that's happened, the last news topic I really could think about, is Android 12 is in technical preview. We really haven't talked about that. And I hear it brings a whole lot of user interface changes, but not a lot of — you're not going to be able to notice it very much with Talkback. JASON: Yeah, that's true. I have been playing a little bit with the beta. After a couple false starts, I eventually got it on my Pixel. I accidentally installed the version of Android, that AOSP version, so it didn't actually have a screen reader which is why I wasn't getting speech. TAYLOR: Oh, no. How did you fix that? JASON: I pre flashed it — MICHAEL: Very carefully. JASON: I was — TAYLOR: Yeah, very carefully. JASON: Yeah, very carefully. So yeah, I reflashed it, because you can actually go to the Google developer site, and you can actually use their online flash tool, and it will basically do all the work for you MICHAEL: Online? That's cool! JASON: It downloads the image to the device, you have to enable some things like OAM Unlock, and whatnot, it'll download the image to the device, and it will tell you when it's safe to unplug your phone at which point it should be booting into the beta of Android. MICHAEL: That's fancy. JASON: I know. MICHAEL: And talk about the security implications there. I mean, it's Google, and they have all the security keys and all that. But could you imagine if somebody were to spoof that, and be able to put a knot legit version of Android from a website? JASON: Yeah, I know. I did actually think about that. And then I stopped thinking about it. TAYLOR: That might have been a good idea. JASON: But like I said, I do have Android 12 installed. I don't notice too much of a difference. Although honestly, my Pixels not my primary driver, my primary driver's my iPhone. So what I can say though, is that 12 does seem to be relatively stable. And along with the introduction of Talkback 9.1 which is not specific to Android 12, I do think that the Android experience is going to improve a bit which is nice and awesome to see. MICHAEL: Yeah. So, it's really cool that, you know, we have the ability to flash these devices remotely. I think it's really neat. But we'll have more information about what's in the beta for Android 12 in a future episode, but I think it's really cool that we have the ability to do that, and to try these things before they come out, you know, iOS, Android, Windows through the Windows Insider program, and things like that. JASON: I think the one thing that was kind of annoying to me though is — and maybe it's just I did it in a way that made this happen. But it ended up forcing me to reset my phone to flash the version of Android 12 on to it. And of course, when I had the version without talkback, I didn't mind resetting my phone. And I think if you downgrade back to Android 11, I believe it will make you reset as well. They do tell you that. So MICHAEL: you know, I love how my watch made a noise even though I have — typically if I mute my phone, my watch will mute with it, but not this time. JASON: Oh, interesting. MICHAEL: Yeah, usually it mirrors but not this time, that's interesting. All right, so for our ad part of the show today, I want to talk to you guys about app development services that's offered by iAccessibility. iAccessibility offers app development services for iOS and Android at $50 an hour where we will build your app from the ground up based on your website or however, whatever app you're trying to build. And the app will be accessible and usable by all users. Unless it's a game that you really need specific use cases. We'll still try to make it as accessible as possible, though. So,, we've built apps like VO Starter, we've built apps like Pocket Braille, Blind Bargains, ACB Link, And that's just a few of the different apps on a lot of platforms that have been created. So $50 an hour minimum of $1,000 and you can have your app in the iOS and Google Play app stores. So you can go to iaccessibility.net to learn more, and we will be promoting that more on the website. So, people look out and we'll have more information. So thanks for listening to the iACast. And now on to our main topic for today. And we've already talked a little bit about that, and it's Apple discontinuing products like the HomePod. And you guys, I — this is — I feel like this is the most products that Apple's discontinued at one time. And you know, Microsoft has done it. I mean, they discontinued a whole store line. Google, Google is the project killer, they are known for that. Do you guys think Apple's kind of jumping on board that train, JASON: I think in a way they are. I really think what they're trying to do is they're trying to streamline their product line, and you know, not have so many variations of things around. Especially in the case of the iMac Pro. I keep wanting to call it the MacBook Pro. That is a different product. But the iMac Pro because they really want us all to move over to Apple silicon, which, you know, I'm personally fine with. So I really think that's part of it. And, you know, as far as the HomePod, I like to think that they have something new planned to replace this beautiful, soft, lovely mesh, big HomePod that I'm totally like rubbing a finger against right now because it just, it's fun! MICHAEL: Hashtag pet the HomePod. JASON: Exactly. But you know, I really hope that they do have something to replace the bigger HomePod with at some point soon. Because, yeah. TAYLOR: Yeah. So the thing with that is that, I think, like I said, a lot of these companies are doing that right now. They're just trying to streamline. And you know, Google has been doing it for years. Microsoft kills things. But Apple, like I said, this is really a first. They don't really do this all that often. And so, either one of two things, they either have a lot more products coming and they need to get rid of stuff, or they're just trying to streamline because a COVID and everything, obviously, but we've been in COVID for over a year now. So who knows. You know, they're just trying to get things streamline. Or if they are trying to add new products, but they need to get rid of some first. MICHAEL: And it might be — it might just be that they don't plan to update. Oh, well, actually, you know what? I think the Home Pod runs on the processor that the iPhone seven runs on. Isn't it, Jason? JASON: The big HomePod? Yeah, it's the A8. MICHAEL: Oh, wow. And I think that's the next on the chopping block this year, guys. TAYLOR: iPhone seven, you think next? JASON: I think well, the seven has the A9, right? MICHAEL: I don't remember — JASON: No, wait a minute. No, I think the A8 is from the iPhone 6. Actually. MICHAEL: But I remember the 6S is the last version — iOS runs on the 6S. And so I bet the iPhone seven will be the final version that 15 will run on. JASON: Oh, that's possible. I mean, at the same time, they did actually change the foundation according to some tech sites. They did change the foundation of what HomePod OS was. So for a while it was based on a foundation of iOS. And then I don't remember when this happened. But supposedly they ended up changing the foundation from iOS to TV OS so that it wouldn't have as much code and things in in the OS that isn't really needed and used by the HomePod. So I was kind of not expecting to see the cancellation of the big HomePod for another year or two yet. I was a bit surprised. But maybe — I mean, I was going to say maybe this has something to do too, with the silicon chip shortage. But that would probably be more to do with the Mac, I would think maybe then the homePod. MICHAEL: Well, it's interesting because I'm wondering if they're going to rename the HomePod Mini eventually to something else. Or if we're going to have the HomePod Pro, come out and then put a new device in later on in the HomePod category JASON: Right, or the HomePod Max. TAYLOR: Right, or the HomePod Pro Max. JASON: I don't think they'll do Pro — well, I lie, 12 Pro. — MICHAEL: If you think about it, on the Mac, we don't have a MacBook, we have the Mac Mini, the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. We don't have a Mac Book or the Mac. TAYLOR: Oh, right. MICHAEL: So that might be kind of the landscape we're looking at for HomePod for a while. JASON: Maybe. MICHAEL: Because if you notice the mac book that came out like 2015-2016– JASON: 2015-2016, I think 2016, yeah. MICHAEL: It was short lived as well. So you know we have the air and the pro that are still around but the flagship name was was discontinued quick on that line too. So that's kind of interesting to think about. JASON: Yeah, it really is. And I think the one thing that's keeping me from being complete and utter 100% distraught that the big HomePod is being discontinued is just the fact that the — and I think I said this before, that Apple did say that they are still going to issue software updates for the big home pods for the time being, and supported still through Apple Care. MICHAEL: I'm wondering if you put two HomePod minis in a room, if you get the same quality sound as one big HomePod, JASON: I think you would get the same overall quality sound, because the HomePod Mini does seem like it sounds very similar to the big HomePod just without that deep low bass that the big ones can hit. MICHAEL: Yeah. And I don't know, it's to the point where when we look at these devices, it's hard to it's, and you know, maybe I'm just, my train of thought just keeps going all over the place. But the more I think about things, maybe this is a way for tech companies to dispel rumors and leaks by just saying, we're going to discontinue this, we're going to change this. And so it kind of throws people off to know what the next step is going to be. JASON: Yeah, maybe. I think though, in the case of the iMac pro being discontinued, we all know, it's most likely going to be because we're going to be seeing an apple silicon based iMac. Now whether we see that on March 23, which I personally don't think we'll see. I will say that on the show. And I'll be very happy to be wrong. But I don't think we're going to see that on the 23rd. MICHAEL: I think we will, I think that's going to be the focus is iMacs this year. JASON: I don't know, I think we might see things about AirTags and iPad pros and stuff, but we'll see. If I'm wrong. I'll be happy. Michael: See, maybe we need to come up with the accessibility pool. Because what I think we're gonna see and take your bets people. TAYLOR: Okay, MICHAEL: I think we're gonna see iMacs, colored iMacs, I don't think we're gonna see iPads just yet. But that's just me. Now, in saying that, iPads have come out in March before. So it's not out of the norm. But IMAX used to be used for education as well. And so if they bring out the colored iMacs like they had for education in the past and kind of marketed towards that, I could definitely see that being a march thing. And plus, iPad Pro has typically has an 18 month life cycle. It's only been 11 months since iPads have come out. So in other words, this is Michael trying to say please let my iPad be relevant in April. TAYLOR: Well, I have to agree with Jason on this one, Michael. Because, like I said, with all the evidence and stuff, I think it's gonna be AirTags and stuff. But again, if I'm wrong, I'll be more than happy to admit it. But I really think I have to agree with Jason, Michael. MICHAEL: And who knows, we may see all these things. I doubt it but TAYLOR: That'd crazy. JASON: no, you know what's really gonna happen. Apple's not actually going to have a product event on the 23rd, they're going to just announced their new products quietly on their site. And then we'll all be wrong. MICHAEL: And it could happen, it could happen. JASON: I do think though regardless, as sad as I am to see the big HomePod be discontinued, and like I said, me personally, I'm not terribly upset about the iMac pros cancellation and we're excited because, you know, that just tells me to watch out for the iMac. Not that I'm going to get one but it's still always fun to see what they're going to come out with. I still enjoy my HomePod. You know, I still plan on using it until something happens. Like, if nothing else using it until Apple decides they're not going to update it anymore. Whenever that may be, so. MICHAEL: Well, and that shows me that them discontinuing these things that just, especially on the iMac side it means that they have something new coming around the corner and they may decide that the pro line of iMac just isn't needed anymore because of what the A1 and A1x will do for these devices. I mean — JASON: You mean the M1? MICHAEL: Yeah, the M1. JASON: It's a processor, Michael it's not steak sauce. TAYLOR & MICHAEL: Right. MICHAEL: That needs to be the name of an episode sometime. Our previous episode title we came up with it is going to be it. JASON: Yeah, but that would be hilarious. 156 It's a processor not steak sauce. MICHAEL: All right. And you know, I wonder if that's why they started with a4S. JASON: I don't know. MICHAEL: Because Could you imagine Apple naming, now introducing our first processor line, the A1. JASON: and then Could you imagine the hilarity in covering the lawsuits, if that would even happen. That'd be funny. MICHAEL: Anyway, would that'd be a coprocessor for for Intel the A1 because it has to go along with it to make it better? TAYLOR: I don't know, would it be? That's your call. MICHAEL: I mean, if we're comparing Intel to steak there would be A1 processor from Apple to JASON: They'll call it, I don't know, I was gonna say steak Lake, but that just sounds weird. Dinner Lake, MICHAEL: Dinner lake. All right, out there. There you go Intel. When you come out with that chip that everybody wants just say time for dinner. Like, JASON: Exactly. MICHAEL: Anyway, I think this is the most jokes we've told in a podcast. And I really think that the M1X will really be like, there's no pro version of that, there's no way to up the process or on that. So there's, on the Intel iMacs, you can get i5, I7, I9, and you have the better display on the Pro, which they can still do the better display. But if the display is already going to be amazing in these new iMacs with the new chips, then they don't have a need to do that. So, there may not need to be an iMac pro because the new iMac will just be able to boast that it's pro already with the built in Apple silicon. JASON: And that was kind of my thinking, when I first read about the cancellation of the iMac Pro, I was actually thinking as you were talking and I don't really think Apple's gonna do this, if they came out with instead of the M1x. Or the M1 2, having the M1 Pro, but I really don't think they would do that, considering they already have products in their pro line that have the M1 and that would confuse people. MICHAEL: Right. But, you know, I just think that they're going to, I think that they — now that we're looking at coming slowly out of COVID, they're going to be looking for the best way to sell their products. And if you could just say, look at the shiny new products we have in our stores aren't aren't these amazing, people are going to want them and especially if they start doing these colors, like they've shown on concept art and things like that, that that are rumored, that's just going to be amazing. JASON: I mean, look at how popular the new Macs have been already, you know, because working from home and they've got that long battery life and the slightly upgraded camera because of the ISP MICHAEL: And you know, I'm doing all this on an M1 Mac, the recording and Zoom, and all that. And I keep telling people it's the better of the two machines. I mean, this is still a terrible camera, but I'm looking at my face on here. And it looks a lot better than my other Mac did, by far. So Apple has really gone a long way with what they're doing. All right, do you guys have any final comments we want to give before we wrap up today? JASON: Steak! MICHAEL: Yes. TAYLOR: Oh my God! JASON: No, I'm kidding. But you know, it's very interesting to see these product cancellations. I keep flitting between I'm sad, especially for the HomePod. And it's because there's going to be something new, like, a lot of me is just like, This has to because there's something new. So it's going to be very interesting to see what actually ends up happening. MICHAEL: Well, you know, the interesting thing, I want to point this out. The interesting thing about the home pod Mini is you don't need to plug those into the wall. JASON: Right. MICHAEL: And that's really interesting. I mean, you could build a USBC — you could buy a USBC hub, plug it into the wall and have five home pod minis hooked up to that thing — TAYLOR: In a power strip. Yeah. MICHAEL: Well, not even a power strip, just a USBC hub. TAYLOR: Oh, wow. Oh, yeah because it doesn't even plug in to the wall. Wow, I'm not thinking JASON: Or a battery pack. MICHAEL: Yeah, you could hook it up to a battery pack. And so that makes it almost more usable than the echo. TAYLOR: Yes, Yes! MICHAEL: And so I think that's why Apple really wants to focus on that because they're like, there's so much possibility here. TAYLOR: I wouldn't blame them. MICHAEL: I mean, it sounds better than any echo. I'm sure. I don't know, I haven't heard one yet. But JASON: Review say they do. MICHAEL: So, you know you put a few in a room. You're gonna get good audio. The only thing that you can't do is use the standard stereo speaker — or TV speakers. JASON: You can, they just won't — I just don't think they'll do Dolby Atmos and stuff that the big HomePods do. MICHAEL: How would you do — oh, well, Apple TV speakers, but how would you use the standard TV speakers? JASON: Oh, okay. Yeah, I misheard. I thought you said Apple TV. Yeah, you can't use Well, you can't even use a big HomePod as a standard TV speaker. So that's not MICHAEL: It's not new. Could you imagine if they came out with the HomePod sub where you had 2 of the apple speakers of the homepod minis as your regular speakers? Now, that's a possibility. JASON: That's actually funny that you mentioned that because I was talking to somebody pre show about that. And what they had said is, Apple comes out with this sub and then gives it 2 USB C ports so that you can plug two HomePods directly into the wall or something. I don't know if that is what they're going to do. But that would certainly be interesting. It'll definitely help with the idea of, I want to have stereo speakers, but I need two outlets if they decided to go that route. So who knows? MICHAEL: Yeah, I'm really excited to see what they do. I mean, if they bring out a HomePod sub, I will press that Buy button immediately. I'm not kidding that if they did that, you know, I would buy a home pod sub. And it kind of makes sense, guys, I think that's actually probably what they're going to do. Because it would make money for them. If you had to buy two HomePod Minis and A HomePod sub. Let's price the sub at $200. They're making $50 more off of you then if you bought one HomePod. Now, granted, they're not going to make 600 or $700 if you had to buy two regular HomePods. But, who's gonna do that anyway? TAYLOR: Right. JASON: Yeah, that's true. I think though, the only downside to this is, as it stands right now, if you were looking to buy HomePods, new, that would do Dolby Atmos, you can't, because that was a feature specific to the bigger HomePods. And I don't know if it's because the eight is more powerful than the S5 or whatever CPU the minis have inside, I think it's the S5 or if it's just that the Mini. , I mean, the big HomePod has more microphones, and it's not limited to the chip. But as of right now, you can't buy new home pods directly from Apple. If you want to do Dolby Atmos. MICHAEL: actually you can for right now during the time of this recording, but. JASON: I didn't even see a link in the store for the HomePod when I last looked. MICHAEL: So I just looked, and they're still in the Apple Store app for 299. You can pick either one. JASON: Oh, they have the Space Gray ones back? MICHAEL: Yeah, they're showing both of them, at least when I looked it showed a picture showing both of them. JASON: Oh, that's interesting, because I knew for a while that they only had the white ones around. And it's very interesting then that I couldn't get to them. Because on the Apple Store, on Apple's website, if you wanted to see the HomePods, the only way it was able to find them is by going under the Apple Music link. And they talked about the HomePods and the AirPods and the AirPods Max. The only HomePod they listed was the HomePod Mini. Whereas the big HomePod used to be there. So that's interesting that they still show up in the Apple Store — MICHAEL: Yep, they are in the Aplle Store app. Yeah. JASON: And of course you can buy them from other retailers. It's not just Apple that sells the HomePods but MICHAEL: And since they're discontinued, I would wait so you can get them from Best Buy or somewhere else where they will be much cheaper. TAYLOR: Yep. JASON: Just keep in mind, if you're going to go that route, that we don't know how long Apple is going to support the big HomePods with software updates, even — All we know is that they are still going to support them. MICHAEL: Alright, well, that's gonna do it for our show today. Jason, to end us off for today, where can people find you online? And what's your pick? JASON: So my pick is, funnily enough, not an Apple product, but rather a Google product. MICHAEL: Ah, just wait. It'll be discontinued at some point. TAYLOR: Probably Well, next week. JASON: Specifically, my pick is talkback version 9.1. And I pick it because it enhances talkback by allowing you to use multi finger gestures. Finally, it has a Braille keyboard. Although, the Braille keyboards been there since 8.4 I think it was? But I really find I like the multi finger gestures. I like the new unified talkback menu. And it's just, I just love this version of talkback compared to the older ones, because I can disable the angular gestures and the proximity sensor silencing speech. I can turn that off now because you can now tap with two fingers to pause speech. MICHAEL: Oh, that's fantastic. JASON: And the magic tap gesture for iOS users is there. And so it's really nice. You know, they don't have the rotor as such. I mean, you can't rotate two fingers on the screen or whatever, but they definitely do have an easy way to navigate, granularity and stuff now and it's all customized Pretty much. So talkback 9.1 it's pretty nice. So that is my pick. As far as where people can find me, you can find me producing content for iAccessibility, you can email me at Jason@iaccessibility.net. And you can also follow me on twitter at jde 1. I know that I have been giving my Facebook out in past episodes, I have decided that I will no longer give that out. I no longer have the app installed. So yeah, those are the ways you can follow me, find me email emailing me and following me on on Twitter. And if you catch me in clubhouse, then feel free to say hi, MICHAEL: All right, Taylor, what's your pick for the week? And where can people find you online? TAYLOR: Okay, so my pick is a little technical. So I'm going to explain it. I pick generate press. And for those who don't know, Generatepress is a WordPress theme. And a WordPress theme is basically a thing that will help enhance the visuals of your site. So it basically helps make your site look the way it looks. In a short version. I mean, like a short description. So what it will do is it is really awesome, because you can customize every part of your site. And the cool part is that it's fully accessible. There are two versions free and premium. The free theme is literally just you go download it from wordpress.org theme directory, and the paid one is a paid plugin. I believe it's 59 a year or what? I can't rember the lifetime of like 249 lifetime Michael? MICHAEL: I didn't see a life. Yeah, I think it's 250 lifetime TAYLOR: Okay, so I really love Generatepress thanks to Michael Babcock and dimasi Thomas for mentioning those to me in a Clubhouse room. Where you can find me online, I'm all over the web. Literally, I have a YouTube channel that I would like you guys to check out, Taylor's Tech Talks. And that also has a podcast now. So if you like hearing from me, you can hear from me and both of those places. I also am on Twitter and clubhouse you can email me at Taylor@iAccessibility.net. And follow me on Twitter, Taylor_arndt22. And I am also producing content for iAccessibility. MICHAEL: Alright, so my pick for this week is a book series I'm reading called Expeditionary Force. And the first book in this series is called Columbus Day. The author is, I believe his name is Craig allanson. And he he has written several books in this series. And it's an awesome, awesome book series, The sci fi series about aliens taking over Earth, and about how humanity kind of steals a ship and goes out in the galaxy to kind of protect Earth. So there's an AI That's hilarious. And I'm not going to give anything more away about the series. But check it out. Highly recommend it. I'm on the third book right now. And I've been reading it for about two weeks and each books about 15 hours on Audible. So that tells you how dedicated to this series I am. So highly recommend it. As for where you can find me. You can find me producing content for iAccessibility. You can email me at mikedoise@iAccessibility.net. I'm Mike, always on Twitter, and on Facebook, just search for Michael Doise.

Starting a new job is exciting and a little bit of a leap of faith this year for new employees. They aren't able to walk through the building and get a sense of the people, work environment, and culture in the same way. They sort of have to go on faith that the culture is as advertised.

Automated Transcription of the show Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 194 being recorded on Thursday October 24th, 2019 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:40] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott your listeners Jason I want to start us off with a deeply, personal question of personal nature and I know this is private awkward to just jump into on a podcast but do you have your episode 9 Star Wars tickets yet they just went on sale. Jason: [0:57] I know they went on sale I do not have them and I know you're probably mad at me. Scot: [1:04] I'm not because I got you an extra ticket so all you have to do is buy a plane ticket to RDU and you can come watch it with me. Jason: [1:13] Is as likely I'll be in RDU as a Chicago on that day so it's a December. Scot: [1:20] But it's an open offer to so if you have a hard time getting tickets let me know. Jason: [1:24] Yeah I just not a good enough plan or to know that I could get a babysitter on December 20th so we didn't buy tickets and I have to admit a total Star Wars newbie move I'm somewhere when the tickets went for sale and I got like a push notification on my phone and I'm like. Wait how did I miss this is the movie about to be released and I missed it. Of course it's there selling tickets 2 months early. Scot: [1:50] Come on dude that's that's embarrassing. Jason: [1:52] I'm going to edit that out of the podcast so people think I'm cooler like you are. Scot: [1:58] Speaking of Star Wars the even before then we have a big event the new series Mandalorian premiers on it's kind of one of the launch pieces of content for Disney plus that comes out November 12th so is Star Wars fans are going to have to big drops Within what is that like 40 days so it's going to be pretty exciting and rise of Skywalker so it's going to be exciting frothy times for Star Wars fans. Jason: [2:26] Yeah it is for sure there's a I feels like that watch is going to be successful for a variety of reasons I know you wouldn't read the trade press that my company poo Bose S1 the marketing contract Market Disney blessed so so I've been inundated and surrounded by Disney plus content. Scot: [2:49] Rico does that mean we can see the content early his friends Acres. Jason: [2:53] No I haven't when I say surrounded by Disney content I mean promotional mix actual show content unfortunately yeah yeah I'll be somewhere with you on November 12th. Scot: [3:06] But this is not a Star Wars podcast if this is your first time you listen to it she may be confused this is actually a retail e-commerce podcast Jason. It's a well-known for your sisters know that Jason has I think 50 different Alexa devices in his house did you jump in on the new Alexa faucet. Jason: [3:26] Yes I am staring at so this is not an Amazon product has a third-party product but I am staring at a box from Delta faucet right now which is the Alexa upgrade for my digital kitchen sink. Scot: [3:42] So what commands does it know on off. Jason: [3:45] Yeah so I'm a I'm utterly convinced this is going to be the least useful home automation product I've ever owned but I have. Scot: [3:53] The Alexa toilet. Jason: [3:54] But I had to have it yeah. Like when you hear about it you're like oh my god do I really need Alexa to flush a toilet Siri is, it's a it's an it's a very expensive way to put on an Alexa device in your bathroom and the hope is that we control music lights and your shower in your bathroom which kind of makes sense right like walk in and have some some music playing in the the proper lights and have your shower preheat so you can get in when it's Altos. Scot: [4:29] Does the music come out of the toilet. Jason: [4:31] It does not. Scot: [4:33] Wait are you talking about substance use are you talking about the faucet of the toilet. Jason: [4:38] I was so I was given into the toilet because you went there. And that the toilets are these Kohler toilets that are few that have an Alexa embedded in them in the one that's most like. Talked about because it's so ridiculous there is a $10,000 toilet that has the additional amenity of it has a motorized widtsoe in addition to flushing the toilet Canon fax. Put the way it up and down by voice commands and it also has a multicolor LED so you can set your own color scheme for your toilet. Scot: [5:14] Brickell and then tell us more about the faucet. Jason: [5:17] Yeah to the faucet is a Delta products and. It lets you so you can turn off and on the faucet you can specify a water temperature like not a specific degrees but you can say, hot water or cold water and then you can specify a volume so you can say like Alexa fill the Delta Fire ask the Delta faucet for 60 oz of water. Scot: [5:45] Pickle unfortunately the only time we can talk about it cuz once you get it installed Wii U you can't talk about it without turning the water on and off soon. Jason: [5:55] That I had to hit I had to hit mute on the device in this room like when I realized you were going to ask me about the faucet so we're safe. And yeah this is an upgrade to an already smart faucet that Delta cell so it also has like, its own website and its touch-sensitive so you so if you don't want to use voice you can touch anywhere on the metal. Fixture to turn off and on the faucet which that feature is at I have actually found to be useful and I now can't use anyone else has kitchen sink because I just touched there. Scot: [6:27] Tap it nothing happens you like what's wrong with this thing. Jason: [6:29] Yeah I've lost it. Scot: [6:31] People live in like 19 2019. Jason: [6:34] The Flintstones exactly. Scot: [6:37] Well if this is your first time listening to podcast it is not a Star Wars podcast nor is it a plumbing podcast that are actual topic du jour is an Amazon Q3 hot take it wouldn't be a Jason Scott show without talking about Amazon. Jason: [6:58] News new your margin is there opportunity. Scot: [7:06] So it was an interesting week in e-commerce we had back-to-back eBay and Amazon releases so I can want to set the table before we dig into some specifics first of all kind of the macro table is 2/3 is really important in the world of e-commerce because it's leading quarter into the all-important fourth quarter which is the holiday quarter I'm in still is true even though Amazon has Prime day and and, you know we don't see any of these like Toys R Us anymore and that separates each category where you had like seventy 80% of of their business done in Q4 but we still all retail Ducey a super sized before so it's very important time frame and so we like to we like to kind of it also kicks off kind of our holiday coverage on the podcast so kind of read the tea leaves a few 3 and then we're going to start to get some of the forecast of holiday coming in and then that'll see us up to then talk about the results of things like singles day and then Black Friday Cyber Monday and and all that good stuff Scot of the kick-off the holiday season oddly enough even though you know I'm here in October doesn't feel like we're quite that yet there yet here they make you jealous Jason here in North Carolina we had like an 85 degree day so it doesn't feel Christmassy but definitely right around the corner. Jason: [8:29] But you are drinking like a peppermint latte right. Scot: [8:32] No not yet not yet wait till have to wait till after Halloween to get in the spirit. To eBay announced yesterday and Amazon announced today and personal a quick disclaimer when we when we talk about these kind of financial results on the Jason Scott show we always like to go with a constant currency measures in and US results it doesn't matter but when Amazon eBay these other folks announce International you could talk about euros and then you weren't that $2 but that that exposes the results to the degrees of currency changes so currency constant currency you look at Euros vs Euros or basis vs. bases whenever the currency is so it's more true indication of actual growth rate of the company's stripping out the the different currency exchange rates between periods in the retail we always look at your rear because of the all the seasons that we have in retail okay that being said eBay was interesting because you had to set up the air oven September the CEO kind of shockingly announced his departure and I think use Twitter as the platform for that one Island usually got a lot of Co departures lately. [9:42] Olive public companies Under Armour for example I'm had one as well so see you there Devin when he got out of line with the board board wants to break parts of eBay further apart so that the kind of obviously split out PayPal about a year-and-a-half ago now and I think the board wants to split out there classifieds Division and StubHub and then Devon didn't wasn't on board with that so they have split up it's always scary when someone leaves a company kind of before the quarters announced so there's little bit of pins and needles going on around what's going on inside of their and if shirt off eBay has been on a little bit of a decline and their gmv went into negative territory on a year-over-year growth rate to - 5% a year ago their year-ago comparisons of Q3 at 18217 was plus 5% that's a 10% swing of a really really. Free large pool of Jim be there so you be as losing share and you know there's the world of eBay there's a lot of different reasons why I kind of feel like Amazon is a nut reason for that, eBay definitely kind of place that more value on a consumer in Amazon the convenience ring consumer the bifurcation we talked a lot about on the show so there is a world there's room for eBay I just think they're not really executing really well and they are distracted by a lot of these kind of corporate. [11:05] Mechanics that they're dealing with like the split of eBay PayPal and now StubHub and I was going to stop so heading so so that was kind of little bit of a Dark Cloud over the world of e-commerce and uneven retail and then today we had Amazon and the set of four Amazon is they announced that they were taking Prime from two day service level to one day in April and they even talk about how you know there's something like fifty million Prime eligible products and they talk about how, I'm each quarter they would add 10 to 12 million products into the one-day Prime bucket, and it's clearly on the site you know you when you add something to your car even before then you you can see if its 2 day primer one day Prime Saudi Amazon has been doing is turning that dial and trying to get the bulk of the Prime eligible products to be one day instead of just today so. So that that's interesting and you know what so it's listed in the results so the. Jason: [12:08] I was just going to say one fun fact before you jump into the actual Amazon results about eBay CEOs another one of the surprising CEO changes last week was Mark Parker the CEO of Nike. Announced that he was stepping down in the the reason I bring that up is his replacement was announced who is John Donohue who I think used to be a CEO at eBay. Scot: [12:34] Yeah it's Donohoe and it's really interesting cuz the CFO of eBay in John's regime is now the CEO of Intel so it's kind of funny I oddly I'm not a name-dropper in but I have like a Forrest Gump weird thing where I have met some folks there but they miss so I now know the CEO of Nike and until. Jason: [12:56] That's not remotely surprising to me but very cool. Scot: [13:00] Feels feels odd and here I am wearing Crocs so mean I need to get some Nikes. Star Wars Crocs that stick their own brand for me digging in the Amazons Q3 results the good news so it's kind of a good-news-bad-news kind of thing the good news is one day Prime has really accelerated to man so urea revenue for Amazon grew 24% in the third quarter and here's kind of the trajectory so the first quarter and then you ask this so this is North America the growth was 17% and then Q to 20% and now in Q3 24%, Just 4 percentage points higher than Q2 and so that that's pretty impressive and then internationally also saw acceleration to 21% so when you pull in those together Amazon grew about 20 to 23%. [13:54] The international progression goes to one of this year's 16% and then 17% and noun in Q3 21% sewing, also about a 4% acceleration on the international side another metric that we look at really closely as Amazon talks about paid units Nicole that unit growth that's a metric that it's slow down to about 12% and it is accelerated to 22%, how much is it straight in the last 2 years so so kind of packaging that together consumers love when they Prime and it is actually accelerated demand materially for free Amazon which I think is really good Top Line set up going into holiday now the bad news is this just comes at a pretty steep cost because you know his listeners know the difference between if you went to your your any carrier and you said what's the difference in price between 1 and 2 day shipping. [14:51] Quite pricey right so Amazon profits were down 26% on a year-over-year basis and that created a headwind on wall Street's bottom-line estimates because shipping cost effectively Groove 46%. This this makes a lot of sense and you know an Amazon philosophy that, that we talked about on the show but I live everyday is the Amazon philosophy is first figure out the man and then you can figure out the cost and. I'm doing this on a daily basis and it really work so if you can go put a product out there and get a lot of demand for it, decreased scale and scale is how do you drive the per-unit cost down it's hard to solve that equation at the same time so so I have a lot of confidence that these are one-time cost and we also see is an Amazon doesn't report this will see a little bit later you know in and you talk a lot about this Jason is we're getting to somewhere around half of the package has been delivered are Amazon delivering them and I think that's what they're going to do I think I think as that goes to 100% that's how they're going to get the cost down is by using that driver Network that they filled up, taking the third party shippers increasingly out and which is better user experience and War costume. Jason: [16:12] The interesting Lee they were to ask what the the ratio of Amazon deliver packages to carrier deliver packages was on their earnings call and they sort of coyly dodged the answer to that. Scot: [16:25] Yeah some people report on it I'm not exactly sure where they're getting their data so it's it's interesting but I can save for me you know what when you order from Amazon and look at the tracking number she can tell if it's a FedEx UPS USPS or are UPS never see FedEx any more rarely ups and, you may be 20% USPS so I'm almost at like 70% Amazon delivery 80%. Jason: [16:54] Also very high maintenance before but Chicago is a a test market and so we've had, Amazon doing their own deliveries along before that was a program they rolled out and we we've actually had one like all my Amazon packages are one day so. And it's like there still are some some ups and USPS deliveries but the overwhelming majority of of mine are Amazon carriers and I think you're right like so Amazon hasn't disclosed the exact breakdown but there are a couple of these companies that scrape. Email boxes. And so that's all you 1010 data and rocket on a data which intelligence which you speak sliced and we talked about in the show but they reported like quite, quite significant growth in the the the Amazon delivery percentage in I'm I'm sure at the end of Q3 it's even much. Scot: [17:59] So what you would call in Wall Street parlance what you call this quarter is a top-line beat in a bottom line Miss so specifically the bottom line and there's a couple different ways to look at this there's this guy property income earnings per share Yap operating income came in at 316 billion which was 2% below while she's consensus and EPS was $4.31 per share versus the street estimate of 4 56 now it's interesting is Amazon print out their own guidance and Wall Street and crap that up and kind of didn't listen to Amazon Amazon it tried to tell everyone last quarter hey this one day Prime things kind of expensive so. [18:37] We're lowering our ups and while she kind of said that they were wrong Amazon, I'm after hours this caused the stock to slide pretty significantly started judge after hours things like I'll look tomorrow and see what's going on, I bruised down as much as 9% and of course you know everyone was jumping with Glee that that Bezos because of that slide was no longer Richest Man that, Bill Gates was back on top and see how that goes, another kind of cause for concern was Amazon also in the current quarter they they tell you what their projection is for next quarter and their guidance was a midpoint on the revenue side that was below what Wall Street had estimated, about my belt for billion that sounds like a huge amount but at Amazon scale couple points percentage points so specifically the guidance was a bottom range of 8 revenue for sale 80 billion to 86.5 billion - 83 and a quarter billion. [19:47] That place at 15% growth rate and that was all she did kind of thought it would be about a 20%, to hear so it's I put out a lot of data there until let's go back up to 30,000 feet I've been falling Amazon for a good 15 plus years there lies pretty prudent going to queue for cuz you do have you know sitting here today we know the consumers in pretty good shape to condoms in pretty good shape but we got a lot of potential negatives out there around these terrorists and and there's a lot of sessions coming in, like noise in the market so it's always prudent to be pretty conservative going to queue for especially because it is such a big quarter but you know I'm going to go ahead and call it as a side from some externality that that I can't see I think they're just going to Absolute blow that away that midpoint in and I think I think even the top of the range is pretty conservative because you know what. [20:47] What you see in Q3 is it's really clear consumers a loved one day Prime its accelerated this business and it was really amazing to me is 300 billion dollar business accelerating its Revenue up to 23% yeah I don't think I ever seen anything like that Walmart is kind of just this kind of General size and growing Buttes low-single digits like you know for Walmart to accelerate their business to 24% if something like that after like add 24% more stores or their e-commerce would have to go up like math is probably like 300% or something like that so we've never seen a company scale like this I'm in the world of retail now some of the pure digital companies like a Facebook a Microsoft hey Google they've had periods of acceleration like this but never a company that has you where houses and shipping products in these kinds of things it's pretty crazy I'm so kind of help. [21:49] We talk about such a big numbers I always kind of like to try to ground it and something we can all kind of get our mental image around since here's my stab at that most will see if the Slants with you so, Amazon is forecasting about an 80 billion dollar fourth-quarter each percent they grow in their. 800 million JCPenney is they do 3 billion a quarter so effectively each 4% than Amazon grows in court 4th quarter is a JCPenney, I didn't Tire JCPenney so yo at like a 24% growth like let's say their growth is straight line from Q3 to Q4 and its 24% that is. [22:32] That's essentially six JCPenney's that that Amazon's going to have you no incrementally take out of the market if they grow that much your rear so last thought if you if you kind of piece this together and you look at Amazon's growth trajectory here's kind of what 2019 looks like let me see if you can pick out the dew point that doesn't really kind of fit in here so q1 they did 17% year-over-year growth due to 19%. [23:01] Q3 22% now they're saying oq for is going to be 15% do we really think Amazon's going to slow down to their slowest quarter in the fourth quarter after they spent all this money and time getting everything to one day Prime, he actually kind of look at that Trend you could kind of say well I could see that it could be 23 24% so, so the last thought is Wall Street is really fickle right now so eBay did better on the bottom line but didn't show growth that punished Amazon showed tremendous growth at the scale punished so young, when the world saying you're kind of in a lose-lose situation you might as well just kind of like rip the Band-Aid off and be super conservative out there and what I think's got the market in this choppy Waters is the the rough IPOs that have come out from Uber and Lyft and withdrawals of IPOs and then we work is got a whole Market on a spooked and let you know this company set to go public at something like you have 50 billion dollars and now it just had to raise Capital at 8 billion dollars to a bottom-line Bill Gates I know you'd listen to the podcast and so does Jeff Bezos don't worry Jeff I think you'll be back on top of Bill here shortly. Jason: [24:15] As you're saying that I'm getting like Iams from Bill and he's like pointing out dude I'm trying to give away all my money so. Scot: [24:24] She's stroking $500 checks here and there so yeah he's doing his best. Jason: [24:28] Exactly so I don't I'm not sure it is his aspiration to stay out of jail so that was quite the earnings call, I am. I'm with you on the revenue side for sure it seems like, one day shipping is going to drive a lot of incremental revenue for Q4, I guess the bigger question is like half how expensive that will be in it and you know it is there a commensurate drag down on earnings as a result of a lot more expensive deliveries for Q. Scot: [25:04] Yeah they framed that on the call I forget the exact amount but they did put in a pretty. Jason: [25:10] It's a big number is 1.5. Scot: [25:12] Pretty big number and I I suspect you know that number is the number if they had 24% growth and they put in 15 but yard is they have a blowout quarter I think they could have a blowout bottom line now I think what we'll see Amazon thing on a 10-year chunks I think over the next five years you're going to see them in criminally you'll get those they will figure out a way to get one day Prime to cost the same as two different and get it to scale first but then what's going to be killer is once they figure that out then they can probably just turn the dial on same day Prime, and probably without too much cost. It's not going to be as big of a jump it probably like half or less the jump from two to one day the same day I'm so so if you listen to this in your thinking how do I compete with Amazon that's that's what you're up against you know so they're they're going to be because they know that this is. So clearly created so much demand for consumers they're going to continue to turn the dial on on this in a lowering the the shipping time on Prime, and clean more and more season 2. Jason: [26:20] That. Hundred percent agree I feel like the they're very confident didn't however much pain it takes them to get to one day shipping if it will be orders of magnitude more painful for anyone else to match them cuz no one has close to there there's a film in infrastructure right so you know if if they give themselves a cold by doing this like they're giving their competitors Ebola. So very good play there was an interesting comment from Bezos he was playing up the fact that one day delivery is greener than two day delivery. Which it was not immediately intuitive but what he saying is, ultimately the only way we'll will cost-effectively get to one day delivery everywhere is. Way better Logistics and staging more of what people want closer to those people like it just not going to be possible to put stuff on planes everyday. For next day delivery and so, so his you know it it's for your point it seems like they're just investing in the infrastructure to Stage more Goods closer to customers and get them there quickly. Via cost-effective delivery mechanisms mostly their own sew-in the interns chimed in while while you were chatting in the but that data point we had from rocket on intelligence has Amazon at 47% of their own packages so just. Scot: [27:48] Daniel is kind of round hat that's a little bit I haven't seen an update that and it's it's kind of like the spring so. Jason: [27:55] Ya no soy it very likely has passed and that that update still have 1.6% of packages being delivered by FedEx which is no zero so yeah so. Yeah all interesting stuff that one of the things I knows about the earnings call they hired a hundred thousand people in Q3. Which is a big number and it's very likely that a lot of those people are. Delivery drivers and extra shifts in warehouses. Scot: [28:29] Those are 1099 they wouldn't show up in here I got to get spyware house and they're adding to AWS like crazy right now. Jason: [28:35] Yeah but that's so not all delivery drivers are 1099 so for example a lot of the the Chicago delivery Force are W-2 employees. So there. Scot: [28:47] Hi some Union thing. Jason: [28:48] There's a blend. I'm getting there as that has all the teachers on strike here in Chicago this week but yeah so huge hiring thing, and Sebastian I'm from Baird like he called that hiring number the most surprising metric in the room, I always like to keep an eye on the brick-and-mortar number which in the overall scheme of Amazon isn't isn't a. Is usually financially relevant number but it is interesting because it is. Absolutely going down. The rate of growth is like brick-and-mortar sales than Amazon actually declined and when we say brick-and-mortar sales what we're really saying is Whole Foods because the rest of the Amazon free is in. Really economically significant enough to impact the Whole Foods numbers so whole food sales are lower today than they were in 2017 when Amazon acquired them which is pretty interesting. And obviously there's a lot of Buzz about some new retail formats that are you seem like they're very close to opening and you know I've been speculating that there's a new grocery format that's going to open in Los Angeles here imminently. Going to be interesting to see. [30:04] What they do because you know is we both of observed Amazon doesn't always win with their first effort in something but you know they also don't tend to tuck their tails between their legs and retreat. [30:20] So that's going to be big you mention AWS that is also a declining its growth rate which you know. Pretty prodigious so they were they grew at 37% last quarter and then they drop down to 35%. Let you know there's a method gets repeated too much that all of Amazon's profit is AWS that's not true retail is profitable but but AWS is the, biggest contributor to profit and so is the fact that it still growing at 35%. Is certainly very robust and obviously the law of large numbers is that you would expect that rate of growth. To be slowing and what's interesting is you know they have two competitors Google and Microsoft who they sort of had a six-year Head Start Over. Until they have much bigger share than either of those two competitors we've actually seen those competitors. Rates of growth which are you know they're much smaller business is slow and worse than Amazon so it seems like. There's a little bit of plateauing in these cloud services and it's you know in Amazon is the least affected by that Plateau so. Yeah I would call that mostly positive signs for them. [31:39] I know you are a big fan of the marketplace side at. The Amazon business and you know that the marketplace sellers have for awhile accounted for over half of all sales. On Amazon but the it seems like the Knicks slightly to Klein this quarter so it went from. [32:00] 54% last quarter at to 53% this quarter and I'm assuming that's because. 100% of Amazon stuff is probably one day Prime and a lot of the and in some you know a significant amount of the. The 3p is not one day Prime and so the the. Shift to one day Prime probably uses a first-party sales a little bit disproportionate. And then the last thing that I always like to follow in his earnings calls is the advertising business right and so this is you saw the famous we listed as other in an Amazon parlance but other Groove 45%, so that was 3.6 billion dollars in Revenue in the quarter and Brian the CFO like answered a question about ad revenue and he kind of. Confirmed what we had all been saying other revenue is principally advertising advertising grew at 45% and you know. Advertising is the biggest part of other in fact, advertising had to grow bigger than 45% to cause other overall to grow at 45% so so the ad piece of business and Amazon is actually growing even bigger than 45%. Scot: [33:28] Yeah there's some kind of in this kind of rough on the add thing there was a couple reports out there is a is this a competitor of yours or part of your sperm dick Merkel put out some stuff about, yes I'm trans they saw I thought it was even more interesting though emarketer had a report out where, for the first time that I've seen how you can fax at me on this they did talk about search ownership or search. Pie chart of of search this kind of always been boring look at this cuz it's kind of like Google it 90% then you have like a little bit of Microsoft in a little bit of Verizon and like you know ask to use her ass or something like that so for the first time Amazon is listed as number 2 with about 13% share of search I'm So it seems like there now, expanding the definition of search from what we would think of is that you know that you know ask Google anything kind of a search to include product search and when you do that Amazon has cross the materiality threshold we've all known this because there's been surveys that just look at product search and Amazon's ahead of Google in that so this is another kind of interesting Awakening out there in the ad world that you know Amazon is actually compete with Google and it really interesting way that a lot. Jason: [34:54] Oh yeah and I think it's very clear that Amazon is taking advertising dollars from Google the. Like I am slightly skeptical about some of the like surveys that say, Amazon is leading Google in product search cuz I would just point out those tend to be tiny surveys of i2000 users and they're just kind of these like silly stated surveys like they just ask people and nobody has a consistent definition of what a product search is right so if if I die Pizza. [35:28] Is that in your definition of a product search or searching for a product of pizza you know there's a lot more pizza searches that happened on Google then that happened on Amazon, so you don't really have Amazon surpass Google you have to have a pretty narrow definition of product but but I absolutely think like. In that narrow definition Amazon is very big they're generating a bunch of dollars those daughters are clearly coming from Google and what super interesting to me is. Amazon actually had their first. Conference for advertisers this year is very beginning of October 2nd and 3rd in in Seattle and the big take away from this conference was. That they don't just want to be a search advertising engine so that the huge Focus was, I9 using Amazon for what we would call top of funnel advertising so like high-level brand-building not just the very specific product searches. And you know they're they're one of the biggest media properties out there with traffic to Amazon and all their video properties and everything else so it's. It's a little bit of stretch but it's it's totally credible that you know Amazon has it set set not just on Google's product search but on it so it's entire at business. Scot: [36:47] Anderson. Jason: [36:49] So that being said there's actually a fair amount of other interesting Amazon news over the last couple weeks that we should we should cover briefly. I mention Amazon had their their first advertising con conference adcon. So that's interesting you know Amazon's conference for for AWS is actually quite big event now so it won't surprise me to see this advertising show start to expand dramatically as well. I actually saw an interesting article this week from a former guest of our show and I I'm going to Massacre Joe's last name do you know how to pronounce it properly. Scot: [37:30] Concha. Jason: [37:31] Yes we're going to call in a joke a and he'd been studying all the private labels on Amazon and he noticed that like, 32 of the hundred apparel brands that Amazon has launched are no longer for sale on Amazon so it sort of highlighting the fact that that a lot of those. Those like quickly launched house Brands like don't appear to have a lot of legs in the Amazon has has taken them down which is interesting. [38:02] Another news item that really caught my eye first written about by Jason Delray and then confirmed on the earnings call today. It seems like Amazon is scaling way back on. Sort of enforcing what they historically have called crap which is the acronym for can't realize a profit. You know historically Amazon you know his put a lot of pressure on manufacturers to make products profitable of the cell and what that usually means is. They don't want to sell items that are difficult to ship and that are inexpensive so you can't buy a single roll of paper towels for example that you don't cost $2 and it's pretty Bowl. [38:43] And historically they would do things like at make that an add-on only sale that you can only add to a box when you had a bunch of other stuff in the box or they'd asked the manufacturer to provide a bigger bundle or things like that, and it now seems like Amazon is much more content. To sell one or two dollar items and include them in the Amazon Prime one-day shipping. Into it a lot of items that were formerly add-on only are now available for sale with free shipping witch. You again says that like Amazon appears to be willing to forego some profitability in exchange for. Fulfilling customer to man and catching more more share your point earlier. And I assume that the strategy is you get a big enough share of wallet you do a bunch of deliveries they all become much more cost-effective I just you know habitualized in the customer to buy everything from you. [39:40] Amazon has been expanding this program they call Amazon counter so there now a bunch of retailers in addition to Kohl's with that you can. [39:50] Have your packages shipped to and pick up so Rite Aid is in there. A number of other retailers are now providing the amenity of letting you ship Amazon packages to their store and come pick them up there. So that's an interesting play I think just today Amazon announced that they bought a new health company which is called Health Navigator. So listeners may remember that Amazon bought pillpack a couple years ago so this is a second acquisition in this space and my understanding is that Health Navigator is primarily like. Online symptom checking in remote diagnosis so. It sounds like some sort of friend in tool that you could imagine Amazon building into a future health offering and you know Amazon is already announced that they're doing a health pilot for their employees and they said they'll use this as part of the. The offering for their own place so it seems like there as everyone expects continuing to invest in hell. The most interesting private labeling as when I seen from Amazon in a while as a product I wouldn't have necessarily expected them to private label they launched their own, brand of gin last week so we may have to do a, a test on on the shelf or whenever episode Scott but they invented a new brand called tovis in their they're now selling their own premium gin. Scot: [41:12] Yep seems like a deep dive we could tied into a fun drinking game. Jason: [41:15] Exactly I'm sure they're already are some bad drinking games for a podcast drink every time Jason says um for example would be a good one and I just got two drinks right there so. When they got a bunch of Buzz that I don't think it's so surprising Amazon prints this a holiday catalog every year physical catalog that you know mostly focuses on what all the hot toys are going to be and it came to light that Amazon sells slots on the internet catalog so you can you no pay to have your product listed as the hot hot toys for the holiday. Retail have been doing that for a long time it's not super surprising the the slight Nuance here is when someone buys an ad on amazon.com, Amazon does the note that is a paid at like they they put a sponsor badge on it and the catalog. Doesn't have a disclaimer like that so it does sort of look like Amazon's claiming its editorial content and so you know it may surprise some listeners or viewers to know that they could. [42:19] That a lot of the products in that catalog to be in there because the the manufacturer paid for them. And then the the final thing that I think it's worth pointing out to our listeners is there were two really interesting long-form articles. [42:35] Primarily about Amazon and maybe even more about Jeff Bezos that came out in the last couple of weeks it's all put links in the show nose to both of them but one of them is called Jeff Bezos master plan. And that was in the Atlantic and there's a really long form article kind of talking about. The five phases of Jeff Bezos Evolution from juice or pre Amazon aged. Sort of his is space in Hollywood age today and that it's a really interesting Deep dive into some of his personality traits and how they've helped. Help the company grow and then there was also a really long expose in the New Yorker that was called is Amazon Unstoppable. And you know the big Travis there was Amazon is dominant not because they have a particularly you know a single. Interesting product or capability or piece of Ip that the real secret sauce on Amazon, is the Amazon culture and the business process that they've adopted and so it it focuses a lot on Jeff in the leadership style and the culture and process that they didn't still on the premises. Did that that culture has served them really well to dominate a bunch of different Industries so both really good reads if you haven't. Scot: [43:54] Yeah the spoiler alert the answer is Amazon's probably Unstoppable. Jason: [43:59] Yeah I think that might be the conclusion they're both a little balance so they both like in Meijer lot of Jeff Bezos traits and they also probably point out some. Some things that like some of us might be was personality flaws so I'll leave it to the two listeners to draw their own conclusions but. They're pretty interesting and Scott that's going to be a good place to leave it cuz we've slightly surpassed the amount of time that we budgeted for tonight show but as always is we've spawned a question or comment feel free to continue the conversation on Facebook or Twitter and as always if this is the show that finally got you over the hump we'd love it if you jump over to iTunes and give us that five star review that's really the best way to thank us for producing all this content. Scot: [44:46] Things are what we hope you've enjoyed this Q3 Amazon hot take. Jason: [44:52] And until next time happy commercing.

Reverification is a critical piece of any I-9 compliance program – and it’s the employer’s responsibility to get it right. In this episode, we explain the basics, offer some best practices and discuss how technology can help ease the burden of compliance.

Era prevedibile e, se sì, di chi è la responsabilità di uno dei flop più grandi degli ultimi anni di casa Apple? Analizzeremo poi la vicenda della multa a Google da parte dell'unione europea. E' legittima, se sì, perché? Perché se Google ha un sistema operativo proprio perché non può decidere cosa metterci su?Questi e tanti altri interrogativi al vaglio del duo Giovanni e Claudio, ricordandovi che Venerdì, alle 17, faremo una live su Speaker di fine estate.

I am excited to introduce you today to Sarah Wood, director of operations for I9, or Industry Nine, makers of high-end mountain and road bike wheel sets. Everything Industry Nine does is handmade in their facility in Asheville, NC. The machine shop next door (and sister company) makes all their parts except for the rims and is owned by the father of I9’s owner, Clint. Clint's father had started that shop 50 years ago and Clint practically grew up in that shop. Sarah’s role as ops director has included everything from business strategy and development, management, restructuring, systems implementation, events, marketing...you name it! She has to know and have experienced each role to best manage and improve their operation so she chips in where needed from shipping and boxing to picking parts and running one of their assembly machines.  After this episode, you might consider upgrading your bike with a new set of wheels. This is one of those things you didn’t know could be better but once it’s explained to you? Wow. And sounds like once you try them, wow. Just wait until you hear her explanation of why. Sarah is smart, even more so when she gets technical.  This is a story about someone who led a varied career that might seem, to the uninitiated, sort of disjointed but turned into a very natural progression of one thing leading to the next. Sarah ended up with a unique combination of experiences and skills to land her where she is now, doing what she loves. (For those of us who feel like we are wandering aimlessly, maybe don't worry about that!) Having started in music, she moved to film festival executive director for 5point Films in Carbondale, CO, to her current position. We have a great conversation about being a beginner and being OK with that, and working through progressions not only professionally, but out there on our mountain bikes as well - All with the end goal of restoring our confidence and doing what we want to do, no excuses. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. and with that, let’s listen in and gear up for what’s next.    Where to Find Sarah: Instagram   Resources Industry Nine Wheel Sets 5point Films

Today's podcast features my friend Ashley Ellixson, the Vice President of Legal and Environmental Affairs for the United Dairymen of Arizona.  We focus on two areas during our conversation today.   First, we talk about the winding, interesting path Ashley took from law school to landing her dream job with United Dairymen of Arizona.  She offers some great insight to anyone in the trenches working towards a job they have always wanted.  Her examples of flat out working hard and how she used networking to her advantage are both humorous and inspiring.  , Second, we talked briefly about some of the key legal issues facing the dairy industry.  Not surprisingly, animal rights was at the top of her list.  We discuss the FARM program, which helps to encourage and equip farmers to implement the newest and best animal handling and care practices.  Next, we turned our attention to farm labor and discussed the difficulties for the dairy industry when it comes to immigrant labor and not fitting into the current H2A visa program.  We also discuss the importance of dairy farms having their ducks in a row when it comes to I9 verifications for all employees.  Lastly, we discussed the importance of trade policy on the dairy industry nationwide. We closed out the show with Ashley offering the Waters of the United States Rule ("WOTUS") as the one law she would like to see changed and offering a restaurant recommendation for a good steak at Las Brisas in Lubbock, Texas.   Contact Information for Ashley Ellixson (Email address) aellixson@UDAZ.ORG (Twitter)  https://twitter.com/Legally_Ashley   Links to topics mentioned on the show: - United Dairymen of Arizona - American Agricultural Law Association - FARM Program - I-9 Fact Sheet - WOTUS podcast with Jim Bradbury

HR Happy Hour 283 - Compliance in a Changing HR Landscape Host: Steve Boese Guest Co-host : Madeline Laurano Guests: Angela Lockman, Kristin Lewis - Equifax Workforce Solutions This week on a special HR Happy Hour Show recorded live from the Equifax Forum 2017 in Scottsdale, Steve Boese and guest host Madeline Laurano are joined by Kristin Lewis and Angela Lockman from Equifax Workforce Solutions on the challenges for HR leaders in keeping up with changing laws, regulations and ensuring compliance in what is a fast-moving and uncertain environment. Angela and Kristin shared their unique point of view from the perspective of the leading provider of compliance solutions for HR and organizations on topics such as health care reform, immigration policy changes, and potential tax reform. They shared how Equifax works with employers to help them navigate these issues, as well as how Equifax works with government and regulators to endure that they understand and appreciate the employer point of view and the impact on employers. We also talked about how onboarding of new employees is changing from one that for a time seemed to focus primarily on engagement and acculturation, to one where these compliance steps have become even more critical.  You can't do any 'strategic' HR or talent management unless until I9, eVerify, Visa Management, ACA reporting, WOTCs - are in line. Equifax is the leading authority in this space. Thanks to Angela and Kristin for sharing their expertise and thanks to the Equifax team for hosting the show.
