In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan welcomes back Brynn Cooksey from Air Doctors and HVAC U to discuss critical topics facing the HVAC industry today. Brynn brings his unique perspective as both a successful contractor in southeast Michigan and an industry educator who has made the transition to focusing primarily on workforce development and training. The conversation begins with a deep dive into indoor air quality (IAQ), where Brynn challenges the common industry approach of throwing products at problems without proper testing. He emphasizes that effective IAQ solutions start with comprehensive testing to identify specific issues like high particles, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or excessive carbon dioxide levels. Rather than relying on "magic bullet" products, Brynn advocates for a holistic approach that prioritizes ventilation strategies, source control, and proper filtration. He particularly stresses the importance of the "V" in HVAC, ventilation, which he believes is often overlooked in favor of flashier solutions. His company's protocol of testing on every customer visit, from first encounters to maintenance calls, has created a culture where technicians become comfortable discussing IAQ solutions based on actual data rather than assumptions. The discussion transitions into ethical sales practices, a topic that resonates strongly in an industry where pressure to sell can sometimes conflict with customer needs. Brynn defines unethical sales as pressuring customers into products that won't benefit them or failing to provide complete information about benefits and consequences. His approach centers on thorough customer surveys to understand actual problems and budget constraints, followed by tying specific solutions to identified issues. This methodology puts the customer in control of decisions while positioning the contractor as a trusted advisor rather than a high-pressure salesperson. Brynn argues that price alone doesn't determine ethics - rather, it's the intent behind recommendations and the transparency of communication that matters most. The final segment focuses on workforce development, an area where Brynn has found significant success. His company's registered apprenticeship program, developed through the Department of Labor, has become a competitive advantage in attracting talent while providing structured, in-house training. The program requires minimal cost beyond commitment to ethical treatment of apprentices and systematic tracking of their progress. Brynn's transition from contractor to educator demonstrates the growing need for comprehensive training programs that go beyond basic technical skills to include building science, customer service, and ethical business practices. His ongoing weekly training sessions focus on field trends and callback prevention, contributing to an impressive callback rate of less than 0.5%. Topics Covered Indoor Air Quality Testing and Assessment Using monitors like Air Advice for comprehensive IAQ evaluation Implementing testing protocols on every customer interaction Moving beyond product-focused solutions to holistic approaches Ventilation Strategies and Building Science The importance of mechanical ventilation and ERV systems Understanding the relationship between building envelope leakage and humidity issues Source control as the foundation of effective IAQ management Ethical Sales Practices Defining unethical sales and pressure tactics Customer survey techniques and solution-tying methodologies The concept of fiduciary duty in HVAC contracting Equipment Sizing and System Design The impact of oversized equipment on IAQ and comfort Proper load calculations and duct system design Static pressure testing and airflow optimization Workforce Development and Training Implementing registered apprenticeship programs Weekly training sessions focused on field trends and callback prevention Transitioning from contractor to educator and industry trainer Building Envelope and Duct System Integrity Air sealing strategies for improved humidity control The relationship between leaky envelopes and indoor air quality Duct modifications and system upgrades Customer Education and Professional Positioning Using testing data to support recommendations Overcoming price objections through professional credibility Building long-term customer relationships through transparency   Learn more about Brynn's work at hvactrain.com.

Soda and energy drinks would no longer be eligible for purchase through the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program in Nebraska under proposed regulations from the state's Department of Health and Human Services. At a hearing Tuesday, advocates said the restrictions could hurt grocery stores and stigmatize Nebraskans who use SNAP. “Implementing the SNAP restriction waiver will lead to fewer food retailers accepting SNAP, thereby causing a significant number of Nebraskan families, including those with children, veterans, people with disabilities and the elderly, to face even greater barriers when trying to put food on the table,” said Madison Castor with Nebraska Appleseed.

“Every mammal on this planet, instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply- and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.” – The Matrix Hugo Weaving's Mr. Smith lectures Lawrence Fishburne's Morpheus in The Matrix on humanity's fatal flaw. While history may paint a negative picture of our efforts, the future looks bright. That future is sustainability, a paradigm shift that promises to reshape our relationship with the environment and the resources we consume. This vision of sustainability is not just about preserving nature; it's about creating a healthier, more resilient world for future generations. The components of sustainability in the tech world include energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable product design, and employee engagement. Energy efficiency: companies can optimize manufacturing processes to reduce energy consumption and developing products that are more energy-efficient to cut down operational costs and reduce the impact on the environmental impact. Waste reduction: comprehensive recycling programs, reducing material usage, and improving manufacturing processes, companies can minimize the environmental footprint of their operations and products. Water conservation: Implementing measures to recycle and reuse water to a point where every drop could be recaptured and reused. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This is where the bulk of the efforts can yield real benefits to lower carbon footprints, and reduce/reuse/recycle with ambitious goals of net-zero by 2040. Sustainable product design: there is a fine balance between creating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products that meet regulatory standards and customer expectations, while also generating a reasonable rate of return for stakeholders. Employee engagement: Encouraging employees to participate in sustainability programs and providing training and resources to support those practices keep the environment front of mind while also pursuing the business of business. One company that exemplifies these principles is Microchip Technology. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their comprehensive approach, known as Microchip 360° Sustainability. This includes energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their products, such as the PD77728 and PD-70228 ICs, are designed with the lowest power consumption in mind, and their packaging is 100% recyclable, PVC-free, halogen-free, and compliant with ROHS and REACH standards. The GS series of midspans takes this even further with improvements in key areas. Microchip's dedication to sustainability has not gone unnoticed. Forbes recently named them a Net Zero Leader, ranking them #6 on the list. This recognition highlights their leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices. Companies like Microchip are taking real, tangible actions to protect the environment, conserve resources, and minimize waste.   How can Microchip Technology show real leadership in driving sustainability for future generations?   Links from the episode: Microchip's Commitment to Sustainability: Operational Excellence and Innovative Customer Solutions | Microchip Technology microchip.com/poe   Guest: Alan Zwiren

We begin with some foreign policy news to show once again that the grifters were wrong about everything about the war. Plus, they don't seem to be bothered by Trump's waffling on Ukraine. Next, I discuss the bottom line about the reconciliation bill, how inflation is not being dealt with, and how the Trump administration is fundamentally misdiagnosing the housing problem. We're joined by Kevin Freeman for an update on the transactional gold movement, the only functional solution to inflation. The movement is on the cusp of adding a fifth state to the list of those that have adopted transactional accounts into law. We discuss the next steps in expeditiously implementing the accounts. We need a solid comptroller in Texas (I'm supporting Don Huffines), and most importantly, Trump must issue an executive order exempting transactional gold from capital gains taxes. We must stay vigilant, because some banking interest will try to strangle this amazing idea at the executive and regulatory levels. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Born and raised in England, Susan Notter started baking at a young age, then attended culinary school while working in a pastry shop. After graduating, Chef Notter had the opportunity to work in Germany for Konditorei Heinmann, where she spent three years learning about European pastries and confections. Switzerland followed, and more experience with chocolate at Confiserie Bachmann in Luzern and Confiserie Honold in Zurich. While working in Zurich, Susan started taking sugar classes with Ewald Notter, who had just started the sugar school in Zurich.  After a few months, Susan joined the school full-time, gaining more experience with pulled and blown sugar and eventually teaching classes alongside Ewald. The school grew and became internationally renowned; this led to world- wide travel, including to the U.S. to teach and demonstrate the art of pulled and blown sugar to many chefs. In 2000, Susan moved to Alabama to open the Pastry and Baking division of Culinard, at Virginia College.

Claire Pedrick is talking to Rachel Philpott, author of The Burnout Bible about the complexities of burnout, Rachel's personal experience transitioning from corporate life to becoming a nutritionist, and the critical role of understanding the body's response to stress. Rachel provides valuable strategies for overcoming burnout through nutrition, hydration, and effective relaxation methods. The discussion highlights the importance of self-care, especially for coaches, and offers practical guidance for those grappling with burnout. Key Takeaways: Burnout is a highly individual experience. A foundational understanding of the physiological impact of stress is key. Engaging in active relaxation can significantly aid in stress management. Maintaining proper hydration is vital for mental health. Implementing small, consistent lifestyle adjustments can lead to significant improvements in overall wellbeing. For coaches to effectively support others, prioritising their own wellbeing is essential. Laughter can be a powerful tool for stress relief. Recognizing the different stages of burnout is crucial for effective recovery. Nutrition plays a vital role in managing stress and facilitating recovery. In today's demanding world, self-care should be a non-negotiable priority. Sound Bites: "You can't fail but to feel good." "You need to rest." "Five minutes to prevent burnout."

“Every mammal on this planet, instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply- and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.” – The Matrix Hugo Weaving's Mr. Smith lectures Lawrence Fishburne's Morpheus in The Matrix on humanity's fatal flaw. While history may paint a negative picture of our efforts, the future looks bright. That future is sustainability, a paradigm shift that promises to reshape our relationship with the environment and the resources we consume. This vision of sustainability is not just about preserving nature; it's about creating a healthier, more resilient world for future generations. The components of sustainability in the tech world include energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable product design, and employee engagement. Energy efficiency: companies can optimize manufacturing processes to reduce energy consumption and developing products that are more energy-efficient to cut down operational costs and reduce the impact on the environmental impact. Waste reduction: comprehensive recycling programs, reducing material usage, and improving manufacturing processes, companies can minimize the environmental footprint of their operations and products. Water conservation: Implementing measures to recycle and reuse water to a point where every drop could be recaptured and reused. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This is where the bulk of the efforts can yield real benefits to lower carbon footprints, and reduce/reuse/recycle with ambitious goals of net-zero by 2040. Sustainable product design: there is a fine balance between creating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products that meet regulatory standards and customer expectations, while also generating a reasonable rate of return for stakeholders. Employee engagement: Encouraging employees to participate in sustainability programs and providing training and resources to support those practices keep the environment front of mind while also pursuing the business of business. One company that exemplifies these principles is Microchip Technology. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their comprehensive approach, known as Microchip 360° Sustainability. This includes energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their products, such as the PD77728 and PD-70228 ICs, are designed with the lowest power consumption in mind, and their packaging is 100% recyclable, PVC-free, halogen-free, and compliant with ROHS and REACH standards. The GS series of midspans takes this even further with improvements in key areas. Microchip's dedication to sustainability has not gone unnoticed. Forbes recently named them a Net Zero Leader, ranking them #6 on the list. This recognition highlights their leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices. Companies like Microchip are taking real, tangible actions to protect the environment, conserve resources, and minimize waste.   How can Microchip Technology show real leadership in driving sustainability for future generations?   Links from the episode: Microchip's Commitment to Sustainability: Operational Excellence and Innovative Customer Solutions | Microchip Technology microchip.com/poe   Guest: Alan Zwiren

With over 20 years as an educator and former principal, she is passionate about empowering educators to prioritise their well-being. Dr. Williams integrates neuroscience with the eight dimensions of wellness—physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, environmental, and financial—to help educators create sustainable wellness practices. Through workshops and her private wellness community, she provides strategies that connect brain health to holistic well-being, enabling educators to thrive both personally and professionally.Takeaways: As educators, it is imperative to acknowledge and adapt to the cultural dynamics of the environment in which we teach. The manner in which we communicate significantly influences our overall well-being and mental health. Implementing a brief daily practice of mindfulness and breathing can substantially enhance one's emotional resilience and clarity. Teachers must recognise their own wellness needs in order to effectively support their students' learning experiences. Pursuing one's authentic aspirations, irrespective of external validation, is essential for personal fulfilment and professional growth. The holistic approach to wellness encompasses emotional, physical, and mental health, which are interdependent in fostering a thriving educational environment.

MOVE NOW to Fight Cancer Podcast / DARE TO BE VITAL BOOKFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this Week's Podcast* Stop injecting cortisone for knee or elbow pain.A newly published MRI study of 210 patients showed that even one cortisone shot accelerated knee-osteoarthritis progression and carried risks such as bone-marrow lesions and rapid joint destruction. Dr. Mishra argues that “doing nothing” is safer than cortisone and recommends a “better biologics flywheel” of weight control, muscle building, and vitamin D optimization instead.* Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a promising muscle- and bone-builder.A meta-analysis of 21 randomized trials (~750 healthy women) found WBV platforms significantly improved lower-body strength and femoral bone density; benefits were greatest with >12 weeks of training at frequencies above 30 Hz, and in post-menopausal women.* Musculoskeletal health underpins long-term vitality.Losing mobility cascades into weight gain, cardiovascular decline, and even cognitive slowdown. Dr. Mishra positions whole-body vibration, strength training, and biologic approaches (muscle, bone, vitamin D) as an “all-in strategy” to safeguard movement capacity and overall life performance.* Interacting with dogs measurably boosts brain health and mood.An EEG study of 30 adults showed activities like playing, grooming, and walking a dog lowered stress markers and heightened relaxation, attention, and creativity, branding dogs as “verified vitality enhancers.”* Weekly action plan—do the right thing because it is right.Inspired by Kant's dictum, the episode's practical call-outs are: skip cortisone, build muscle via whole body vibration and spend time with a dog to spark calm and creativity. Implementing even one of these evidence-based steps moves you toward Dr. Mishra's goal of optimizing vitality and performance “one person at a time.” This is a public episode.

Send us a textThe shed industry stands at a pivotal moment where traditional operations meet modern technology challenges. In this insightful conversation with Tristan from Customer Aligned Logistics, we dive deep into how their CAL system is revolutionizing order management for shed and steel building businesses.Having evolved from a farm delivery company to a specialized shed industry solution provider, Tristan brings a unique perspective on combining practical business know-how with technological innovation. What truly stands out is CAL's completely rebuilt interface designed specifically for shed businesses – creating a clean, streamlined experience that eliminates unnecessary complications and focuses only on what matters.The heart of our discussion centers around CAL's three distinct product tiers (Transaction Hub, CAL Central, and CAL Complete), each tailored to different business needs rather than revenue brackets. This approach fundamentally changes how shed businesses can adopt technology, allowing them to start small with essential tools and scale up as needed. For steel building dealers in particular, the Transaction Hub solves a specific pain point by simplifying the process of moving from configurator designs to contracts.Perhaps most valuable for industry veterans is our candid conversation about succession planning. Many shed business owners approaching retirement age need to consider how their operations will transfer to the next generation or potential buyers. Implementing the right systems today creates tangible business value that extends beyond current ownership.Whether you're looking to modernize your operations, improve your sales process, or prepare your business for future transitions, this episode offers practical insights from someone who truly understands the unique challenges of the shed industry.

Susan Richards-Benson, a 20-year PPC veteran and independent contractor, shares her experience with a devastating account suspension that cost her client tens of thousands in revenue during their busiest season—all due to client dishonesty.The Setup:Client: Indoor children's playground in FloridaTiming: Christmas period (peak season)Problem: Google Ads account suspended for "circumventing systems"The 2-Month Investigation:Google support only provided generic responsesTeam checked for malware, IP issues, site problemsDeveloper unavailable during holidaysClient increasingly frustrated as traffic plummetedKey Takeaways1. Client Transparency Works Both WaysAgencies aren't the only ones who can lack transparencyDishonest clients can create major problems for agenciesAlways verify client claims rather than taking their word2. Enhanced Onboarding ProcessRed flags to watch: Clients being "cagey" about previous data, refusing analytics access, claiming previous agencies won't release dataNew process: Screen share with clients to check existing accounts at ads.google.comDue diligence: Don't just ask—verify what accounts already exist3. Crisis Management Best PracticesDocument everything in writingFile support cases immediatelyDon't try to solve complex issues aloneStay accessible and communicate regularly with clientsBe transparent about what you're seeing on your end4. Industry Evolution Insights Then: Keyword stuffing, siloed thinking workedNow: Requires holistic approach across SEO, social, PPCKey mindset: Don't resist change—embrace it or leave the industry5. Healthy Approach to PPC MistakesMistakes are inevitable for everyone in PPCOwn up immediately and explain implicationsDon't let mistakes rattle your confidenceShare failures, not just successes, to help the community learnThe industry will humble big egos6. AI & Automation CautionsExample: P-Max with store visits has 5-7 day reporting lagBe careful with click-based conversions like "Get Directions"Don't blindly trust algorithm optimizationProfessional ImpactThis experience taught Susan to completely revamp her onboarding process and be more selective about clients who show transparency red flags. The relationship ultimately soured and ended, highlighting how client dishonesty can damage professional relationships beyond just the immediate technical problems.Bottom LineThe biggest lesson: Trust but verify. Even experienced PPC professionals can be blindsided by client dishonesty. Implementing thorough onboarding processes and maintaining detailed documentation can prevent similar disasters.00:00 Introduction to PPC Live Podcast00:49 Guest Introduction: Susan Richards-Benson02:19 Susan's Journey from Journalism to Paid Search03:48 The Evolution of Digital Marketing06:00 Fun Facts and Personal Interests06:58 The Big F-Up: A Client's Google Ads Suspension16:27 Lessons Learned and Advice for Marketers21:53 The Role of AI in PPC25:00 Conclusion and Upcoming EventsFind Susan on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Book a coaching call with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Anu⁠⁠⁠⁠PPC Live The Podcast features weekly conversations with paid search experts sharing their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.The next ⁠⁠PPC Live⁠⁠ event is on July 31stFollow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠

In this must-listen episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosts Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams sit down with Justin Rody, CFO of Kalispell Auto Group, to discuss the critical leadership lessons and strategies that have shaped his journey from Internet Director to C-suite executive. This episode is especially important for anyone in the automotive industry looking to navigate the evolving landscape of dealership operations. "The Internet and phones are the new showroom.” Justin dives into the often-underappreciated roles of Internet and BDC departments, shedding light on their vital contribution to modern sales success. With years of experience under his belt, he offers valuable insights on process adherence, the influence of one-price sales strategies on customer satisfaction, and the innovative community engagement tactics that can drive customer loyalty, like car raffles in partnership with local schools. "If somebody's throwing an Internet manager into a position that hasn't sold a car or been involved in sales, it's not the right thing to do." This episode is packed with actionable advice for dealership leaders and sales teams alike, offering a roadmap to creating a customer-focused, value-driven dealership that thrives in today's competitive market. Don't miss out—this conversation is a game-changer! Key Takeaways: ✅ Having experience in sales and management roles can significantly enhance the effectiveness of Internet and BDC managers. ✅ Cultivating a culture of process adherence is crucial for dealership success and customer satisfaction. ✅ Implementing a one-price sales model can streamline operations and build trust with customers, although it requires a strong value proposition. ✅ Community involvement and charitable initiatives are vital in establishing a dealership's reputation and fostering long-term customer relationships. ✅ Leveraging technology, such as AI for CRM and lead management, can optimize dealership efficiency and profits.   About Justin Rody Justin Rody is the Chief Financial Officer at Kalispell Auto Group in Montana. With a deep-rooted background in automotive sales, he began his career by immersing himself in various roles within dealerships, from internet director to executive positions. His connection with the auto industry dates back to a family legacy, with experiences ranging from washing cars in his grandfather's small car dealership to managing an auto racing track. Justin brings a wealth of knowledge and a strong emphasis on process and customer satisfaction to his current role overseeing Ford, VW, and Toyota dealerships within the group.   The Importance of Internet Sales Savvy: Transforming Automotive Dealership Leadership Key Takeaways Foundation of Experience: For an Internet Director to truly excel, they should have tangible experience in BDC roles, sales, and management. One-Price Dealer Model: Establishing a one-price, no-negotiation dealership fosters a streamlined process and builds trust with consumers. Community Engagement: Successful dealerships integrate community involvement into their business model, benefiting both local organizations and the dealership's reputation.   Rethinking Internet and BDC Management in Dealerships In today's fast-evolving automotive landscape, the role of the Internet Director holds significant weight. Yet, despite its importance, this position often lacks due recognition and appropriate resourcing in many dealerships. According to Justin Rody, a former Internet Director turned CFO, one core issue is placing individuals in these roles who haven't experienced the hustle and nuance of direct car sales. "It's almost like setting the person up for failure," Rody articulates, highlighting that the Internet manager should ideally have sales experience to truly grasp the complexities of the car buying process. Sean V. Bradley, in the podcast, shares a strong sentiment: "How can you tell me as a salesperson or a manager what to do, when to do it, how to do it? And you've never even taken up before." This speaks to the critical need for online and BDC managers to have firsthand sales and customer service exposure. Forcing a person into a managerial role without proper preparation or experience diminishes their potential for success and hampers dealership effectiveness. The overarching benefit here is clear. If Internet directors are equipped with comprehensive industry knowledge and hands-on experience, they can lead with authority, improve Internet sales integration, and foster a harmonious relationship with sales teams. Such a coherent setup not only boosts morale but lays the groundwork for more innovative sales strategies and efficient processes within the dealership.   The One-Price Model: Revolutionizing Consumer Trust and Efficiency The concept of a one-price store disrupts traditional dealership tactics by eliminating the negotiation phase that's been a cornerstone for many. When executed correctly, it not only streamlines the car-buying process but enhances the dealership's transparency and trust. Justin Rody testifies, "We haven't negotiated one car deal since 2007." For his dealership, the firm pricing strategy removes uncertainties and accelerates buying decisions. Bradley underscores how this aligns with efficiency, noting that "anything that elongates the process is counterproductive; taking 10 minutes to cook minute rice is a waste." The one-price model offers peace of mind to both customers and salespeople. By setting clear expectations, it ensures swift transactions and nurtures a reputation of honesty and reliability—an irresistible draw for many buyers. Moreover, this model aligns with broader automotive consumer trends where digital interaction and swift, transparent transactions are increasingly valued. By curtailing the negotiation process, dealerships can dedicate more resources to enhance the customer's buying journey, reinforcing loyalty and repeat business. Community Engagement: Enhancing Reputation and Building Trust Supporting local communities is more than just good public relations for car dealerships; it's a business imperative that boosts brand reputation and customer loyalty. Justin's dealership exemplifies this by engaging deeply with the community, notably through their innovative school car raffle initiative that has raised significant funds annually for local schools. As Rody shared, “That generated somewhere…like 50 to $80,000 of money that goes right to the general fund of the school." This initiative taps into the mutual benefits of a strong community-dealer relationship. For the dealership, it means fostering a positive public image and engendering goodwill among potential customers. It acts as a reciprocal arrangement where the community feels valued and wishes to support a business that shares its success. The concept is simple: when dealerships give back, they create an emotional connection, which is priceless in building long-term customer relationships. Moreover, integrating these acts of service into the dealership's marketing strategy by showcasing on platforms and websites bolsters SEO and web presence, ensuring potential customers notice the dealership for not just their cars but their values. Justin Rody's journey from an Internet Director to CFO within a dealership illustrates the transformative potential of industry experience when placed in strategic roles. His emphasis on transparent practices, streamlined processes, and community involvement paints a clear picture of a sustainable path forward for modern dealerships. By addressing both internal structure and external engagement, dealerships have the opportunity to cultivate enduring success in a competitive automotive market.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

When we first meet business owners, it's kind of like anything else. We try to make ourselves look better than we typically are doing. And so we tell some stories that may or may not be true. In that process of getting to know business owners, we realize that there's a lot underneath the surface that we want to be able to explore—to see, ultimately, for one purpose: to liberate them from chaos and make time for what matters most. We're not impressed by storytelling much anymore because we've heard so many stories. By the time we peel back the curtain, we realize, "Oh, you're just like everybody else." And now we can get to work. Once we realize that, we can really get to work and take the sheen off. I want to explore something that we hear a lot from business owners when they first tell us everything's rosy, everything's good. And then we realize, “I'm not the best communicator. I really kind of stink at it.” Not only that, but my time starts to go away because I feel like I'm having to recommunicate over and over again. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. I mentioned this in the last few episodes, but if you haven't checked out The Dickie & Donnie Show, make sure to do that. It's both on this podcast thread for Business On Purpose and on our My Business On Purpose YouTube channel. You can actually watch them—they're super fun. Two of the coaches at Business On Purpose, who I have the privilege of working with, have a really great show. Dickie and Donnie—that's not their real names, but you'll get it the more you listen. Let's explore the concept of retention in the Big Five Feedback Loop Models. We want to guard our time like we guard our money. How do we do that? Let's root this conversation in communication. It's often a challenge in business owners' lives, and many owners find themselves in a constant state of reaction. They're waking up to chaos, spending their days as little firefighters—putting out fires, throwing Hail Marys, and juggling multiple tasks simultaneously. There's a mindset shift that's necessary to address that challenge. One of the key strategies is implementing what we call an ideal weekly schedule. We want to be great communicators, great budgeters, great job costers, and inventory takers—we want to do really well in the day-to-day tasks of business. But too many times we look up at 6 p.m. and say, “I got nothing done today.” The ideal weekly schedule involves working your week in time blocks. Kind of like Tetris. Remember that game? You got little blocks and you try to fit them in. That's what the ideal weekly schedule looks like. It recognizes that time—not money—is your most valuable asset. You can make more money. You can't make more time. Dietrich Bonhoeffer called time irrevocable. So why not manage it as carefully as your money? Think of your week as a budget of time slots that you allocate to specific tasks. Need time for estimating, sales, outreach, marketing? Then schedule it. Expecting client calls? Set aside time for those, too. The key is to predetermine these time buckets instead of letting others dictate your schedule. If you don't, someone else will—me, anybody else. You might think you need to be available whenever a client calls. That's a red flag. Firefighters and police officers are trained to respond in emergencies. That's not your role. The moment someone else is in charge of your time, you've lost control. I've heard it said that email is someone else's agenda for your day. Do you know the average person spends over three hours a day on email? The same goes for text messages and phone calls. When you feel like you need to be constantly available, ask yourself: is it truly necessary—or is it your ego needing validation? Here's what's likely happening: you're suffering from a disease we've diagnosed called LLVD—Latest Loudest Voice Disease. Sounds gross, right? But it's real. I'll go deeper into that in a future podcast, but for now, bookmark that term. If you heard it and thought, “Yep, that's me,” then it's time to step back and reassess. Remember this: your time is your time, and your calendar should reflect that. Some of you might be thinking, “No, it's not.” But yes, it is. We can go back and forth, but it's still your time. You can do something else with it. There may be consequences, but it's still yours. Until you believe that, you're not in a position to effectively schedule and manage your day. In a future podcast, I'll share a quote by Annie Dillard: “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” You may argue that you need to be available for vendors, customers, or pressing matters. That's fair. But you can still meet those needs within a structured schedule. The goal is to take control of your time and use it intentionally, not reactively. Implementing this blocked schedule approach helps you create a more organized, efficient, and less stressful work environment. It allows you to focus on what matters, avoid interruptions, and ultimately improve productivity and work-life balance. I recently read a book by Dan Martell called Buy Back Your Time—great book. He talks about hiring an assistant to help free you up. After ten years in business, I realized I needed that. We've had people help before, but now we've brought on what we call an implementation assistant. For the first three months, their role is focused solely on me—getting things off my plate so I can do three primary things: coach my small group of clients, develop new tools (like a powerful operating system tool we're building), and do storytelling—podcasts, speaking engagements, and events. Anything outside those three priorities pulls from my time, and I can't get that time back. That's why we brought in support. We now have three scheduled email check-ins daily: morning, midday, and afternoon. Notice: I'm not in my email all day. In fact, I've only checked it two or three times in the last four weeks. And today? It's Monday, and I haven't even looked. But I know it'll be cleared by noon. Why? Because I value my time. We're investing in someone else to help us buy back time—because time is the one thing you can't get back. If you've got questions about any of this, go to businessonpurpose.com/ask. If you're a business owner with three or more employees doing $1M+ in revenue, we'd love to chat for 15–20 minutes. No strings. If you want to know how to work with us, we'll tell you—but only if you ask. Our goal is simple: to help you be liberated from chaos so you can make time for what matters most.  

Implementing some simple outdoor habits is easier than you think.We live in a world where we're encouraged to hustle, stay plugged in, and fill every moment with something “productive.” But we've learned that sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is step outside. Not for a hike, not for a whole afternoon, just for a moment.As part of Great Outdoors Month, we're sharing how little outdoor habits have quietly transformed our days and how you can try them, too.

Privacy activists, many of whom are supporters of President Donald Trump, are expressing anger and disbelief following reports that his administration had advanced plans to create a national citizen database with technology firm Palantir. The White House has reportedly contracted Palantir, a Colorado-based analytics company co-founded by Trump supporter Peter Thiel, to assist in compiling a database of personal information on American citizens, according to unnamed government officials and Palantir employees. The purported deal follows project talks Palantir had with the Social Security Administration and the Department of Education. Jimmy speaks with author, activist and investigative journalist Derrick Broze about how Trump's embrace of Palantir represents a betrayal of MAGA principles. Plus segments on Catherine Austin Fitts breaking down Elon Musk's plans to institute a social credit system in the U.S. and Elon going scorched earth on Trump's budget bill.

1. Cancellation of Moderna's Bird Flu Vaccine Contract The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., canceled a $766 million contract with Moderna. The contract was intended to fund the development of an mRNA-based vaccine for pandemic influenza, including H5N1 (bird flu). Despite positive early trial results from Moderna, the administration cited scientific, ethical, and safety concerns as reasons for the cancellation. The move reflects RFK Jr.'s skepticism toward mRNA vaccines and aligns with his broader rollback of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. 2. FBI Reopening High-Profile Investigations FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced the reopening or renewed focus on several public corruption cases, including: The January 6 pipe bomb incident. The White House cocaine discovery (July 2023). The leak of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Bongino emphasized a push for transparency and public engagement, encouraging tips from the public. 3. Federal Crackdown on Harvard University The Trump administration is canceling or redirecting $100 million in federal contracts with Harvard, following a freeze of $2.6 billion in research grants. The administration cites concerns over campus climate, anti-American sentiment, and violence against Jewish and American students. Additional measures include: Pausing student visa interviews. Implementing new social media screening for foreign students. The administration frames this as a move to redirect funds to trade schools, promote accountability, and encourage institutional self-reliance. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
